Pasadena and Area Cities Give Rousing Reception to Special Olympians BY JOYCE PENG AND TERRY MILLER

The Opening Ceremony of the Special Olympics World Games Los Angeles 2015 will take place on Saturday, July 25, in the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the only venue in the world to host two Olympiads (1932 and 1984), two Super Bowls (I and VII) and one World Series (1959). The star-studded show will celebrate the true stars of the Games - the athletes of Special Olympics with exciting entertainment, the Parade of Athletes and the culmination of the Final Leg of the Law Enforcement Torch Run and lighting of the Special Olympics cauldron. Broadcast internationally by ESPN, fans around the world will be able to participate in this memorable start to the World Games! On Wednesday morning Pasadena hosted Special Olympics delegations, including athletes and coaches, from Namibia, Tanzania, and Singapore as part of the Special Olympics World Games

Host Town Program. In the days before the World Games begin Saturday, these delegations will be among more than 7,000 athletes from 177 countries that will be welcomed by Pasadena and surrounding communities. The delegations arrived at Occidental College on Tuesday evening, July 21, after going through a final health check at Loyola Marymount University. The athletes will be sleeping at Occidental College where they will also train in the mornings through July 24, before departing to their assigned athletic villages at USC and UCLA.

Speaker of the House Disagrees With Arcadia’s Water Conservation Policy

Arcadia Council Resumes Commercial Zoning Update; Wuo Addresses Gemcoin Controversy

Last week we showed you a photo of Arcadia’s efforts to reduce water usage and the Speaker of the House has decided, in his infinite wisdom, to shed “Republican light” on the drought.

thing imaginable, totally self-destructive; and died alone drunk in a motel room! Somebody not to emulate! A night with a real singer doing Linda Ronstadt would be an excellent idea. Her voice was terrific

and she was a real professional and very pretty. She now has Parkinson’s disease and cannot sing, but she is somebody worth listening to in more ways than one – someone to be noticed again.

our ‘special file’ otherwise known as the rubbish bin. But upon further discussion with a couple of colleagues, we decided to run your letter only with the intent of pointing out your argument is, at best, absurd, and at worst insulting to anyone who knows anything about music. Your letter is, as one illustrious writer noted: Apples and Rutabagas. Janis Joplin was the most influential female singer of the 1960s. Your letter insults not only the two young women who portray the late Janis Joplin at the Pasadena Playhouse starting this week but the estate of Janis Poplin, et al.. Joplin died of a drug overdose, not alcohol. The overdose, I doubt, was planned.

Perhaps the following sums up Joplin’s voice and influence best: “In its new context, her voice can go through it’s almost impossible series of changes: laughing and crying in the same line, singing harmony with itself, cracking up, and finally, taking off into the breathtaking and suspenseful endings, a mind-blowing collage of sound patterns that make her now, more than ever, one of the really great gospel/blues singers of all time.” –David Dalton, 1970. Yes, Linda Ronstadt was a wonderful singer too. However you cannot compare the two … It is, well, Apples and Rutabagas. The world was never the same after Janis hit the stage.

On July 16, the state Assembly gave final approval to Assemblymember Chris Holden’s (D-Pasadena) bill to rein in predatory used car dealerships. AB 265 – Buy Here, Pay Here – now goes to Governor Brown for signature. “There is a growing segment of the used car business that targets low income workers with poor credit – these are the lenders of last resort for many Californians. But the cost for this kind of credit is steep and defaults are common,” stated Assemblymember Holden. “This measure provides hard working Californians the extra flexibility they need to make payments, stay in their vehicles, and provide

for their families.” Under AB 265, Buy Here, Pay Here dealerships must provide a five to 10day notification period before a remote kill device can be used to disable a car for lack of payment. Current law requires only a 48 hour warning before a car can be disabled due to late payments, or insurance cancellation or even a clerical error. The bill also increases penalties for violations of these laws. According to the National Alliance of Buy Here, Pay Here Dealers, the average dealer sold 610 cars in 2013 with an average profit of more than $4,500. There are more than 33,000 dealerships across the country.

Yellow Alert Would Apprehend Hit-andRun Perpetrators The Senate Public Safety Committee passed legislation to reduce the number of hitand-runs on a 7-0 vote. AB 8 by Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Glendale) will institute the “Yellow Alert” system, allowing law enforcement officials to engage drivers in helping identify and apprehend hit-and-run drivers. The bill will permit law enforcement officers to use the state’s existing network of freeway signs to broadcast information about vehicles suspected in hit-and-run incidents. Alerts will only be issued by local law enforcement when there is a sufficient description of the offending vehicle or the identity of the suspect is known. The “Yellow Alert” system will also be limited to the area where the hit-and-run crime occurred and will only be used when the hit-andrun results in death or serious bodily injury. When Denver instituted a similar alert system in 2012, they saw a 76 percent arrest rate in cases where the alert was activated. The success of the program prompted Colorado’s legislature to implement the program statewide. “It’s gotten to the point to where not a single week goes by without seeing another hit-and-run tragedy occurring,” said Gatto. “People flee because they know there’s little chance that they’ll be caught.” Hit-and-run accidents are becoming so out of hand that local officials and community members are start-

ing to take action themselves. Los Angeles City officials are now offering a $50,000 standing reward for information in hit-and-run cases, and the mother of a hit-and-run victim in Orange County, Julie Creed, has petitioned every city in that county to create a hit-and-run alert system. L.A. Weekly reported that, in 2009, 48 percent of collisions in Los Angeles were hit-and-run incidents and USA TODAY called Los Angeles “ground zero” for hitand-run incidents. The Los Angeles Police Department reported that 80 percent of all hit-and-run crimes were unsolved from 2008 to 2012. However, the problem goes beyond the Greater Los Angeles Area. An article by the East Bay Express revealed that in 2014, only 3 percent of hit-and-run crimes in Oakland involving bodily injury led to charges being filed. “California has the existing alert infrastructure in place and it costs us next to nothing to use it,” said Gatto. “I have no doubt the Yellow Alert System would help apprehend criminals and have them brought to justice.” In 2013, Gatto authored AB 184, which doubled the statute of limitations to prosecute hit-and-run drivers. In 2014, he authored AB 47 and AB 1532, the latter of which would require mandatory license suspension for anyone convicted of a hit-and-run involving a person. Despite the bipartisan support and narrowly tailored language of AB 47, Governor Brown vetoed the bill last September.

Mike Gatto, joined by members of the Assembly Committee on Privacy and Consumer Protection, has authored AB 1116, a bill that would protect Californians from voice-recognition features that surreptitiously record private conversations in the home. The measure to keep television manufacturers and third-party providers from secretly tuning in to private living rooms across the state was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee by a 7– 0 vote. The bill will require manufacturers to ensure their televisions voice-recognition feature cannot be enabled without the consumer’s knowledge or con-

sent. AB 1116 also prohibits manufacturers from utilizing recordings for a use not intended by the consumer. As such, it preserves the ability to control a television with voice commands, or to make a Skype call using a television, but prohibits manufacturers from using recorded speech to generate targeted advertisements. “Smart TVs and voicerecognition technologies are amazing, innovative tools that bring entertainment and ease into our lives, but giving up our right to privacy in the home because we want to utilize voice command features to change the channel is sim-

Governor Signs Gatto’s Bill Granting Children Access to Ailing Parents

On July 15th, Assemblyman Mike Gatto’s (D-Glendale) legislation to provide access for adult children who wish to visit an ailing parent was signed into law by Governor Brown, culminating almost two-year’s worth of work on this issue. The legislation, AB 1085, will provide legal recourse for children who are denied access to a parent, by their parent’s current spouse or another family member. With divorce and remarriage common, there is a possibility of conflict between a subsequent spouse and a child from an ailing parent’s previous marriage. Current law provides no remedial mechanism for children or relatives to petition a court for visitation. “Conflict among family members is the last thing our loved ones want to see as they approach their final hours,” said Gatto. “I hope

this bill will help decrease the heartache and stress of families already facing difficult circumstances.” AB 1085 would give judges authority to direct, or grant, a conservator the power to enforce senior’s right to receive visitors, telephone calls, and personal mail. This will be an important mechanism for families attempting to connect with elders for what is often the last time. The measure also will require caretakers to give notice of an elder’s death to certain family members. Assemblyman Gatto developed the legislation with several adult children who have been denied access to their ailing parents, including radio and television personality Kerri Kasem, current cohost of the “Protect Your Family” and “Gurvey’s Law” talk shows on KABC Radio. Kerri is an outspoken advocate of visitation rights for adult

children as a result of her struggle to see her beloved father, broadcasting legend Casey Kasem, who struggled with poor health before his passing last year. After sharing her struggle to see her father on various media outlets, Kerri and Assemblyman Gatto received thousands of communications from across the country of similar stories of heartache. Recently, FoxNews.com reported about how other states are following Assemblyman Gatto’s footsteps on this legislation. “AB 1085 will provide hope to families experiencing isolation of a loved one by giving the court a way to provide visitation,” said Kasem. “I want to thank Assemblyman Gatto, and the Kasem Cares team that worked closely with him, for bringing more awareness to the issue of elder abuse through the passage of this important legislation.”

200 guests celebrated the inauguration of Thomas Daly of Christie, Parker and Hale, LLP, as Chair of the Board of the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce for 201516. Mr. Daly has served on the Board for the past five years, including service as Secretary of the Board. He is also an active participant in the Chamber’s Member Services Committee. During the event, new and returning members of the Chamber Board of Directors were installed, as well as officers of the corporation for the fiscal year. New Board members Victor Griego of Diverse Strategies for Organizing, Raphael Henderson of Wells Fargo, John Leano of

Bryan’s Cleaners and Don Schweitzer of the Law Offices of Donald P. Schweitzer were sworn in. Returning Board members Valerie Prince of Plaza Bank and Gail SchaperGordon of Vistage were also installed. Sworn in as officers for the fiscal year were Chair-elect Ishmael Trone of F&M Business Center, Treasurer Valerie Prince, and Secretary Robin McCarthy of Fire Family Foundation. Vice-chairs Karl Bird of Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Michael D’Antuono of National Construction Alliance, Joan De Souza of Joan’s Candles and Home Decor, George Falardeau of Art Center College of Design, and Justin Tsui of TeamLogic IT were also

sworn in. The Bill Bogaard Scholarship was presented to Gabby Hendrikson. She is an emancipated foster youth who recently completed her AA degree at a local community college. She will continue her education at Azusa Pacific University. Christie, Parker and Hale, LLP, partners Thomas Daly, Lauren Schneider and Anne Wang presented a scholarship to Carmen Noyola, also an emancipated foster youth who will continue her education at the University of Southern California or Loyola Marymount University. The Directors Award for 2105 was presented to Darryl Dunn, general manager of the Rose Bowl, for his support of community organizations. In his acceptance address, Mr. Daly outlined his plans for the coming year. The Chamber’s efforts will focus on Workforce Development and strengthening continued partnerships with Pasadena Unified School District and Pasadena City College. “We will work to expand our $ixth Grade Cents financial literacy program for PUSD students,” Mr. Daly said. “We will focus and expand our support for the school district and its College and Career Pathways programs, including recruiting classroom speakers, finding job shadowing opportunities and expanding our efforts to find and support internships for high school students.”

Deputies Find Missing Girl in Sex Offender’s Santa Clarita Garage The parents of a young teenage girl reported her missing to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station Tuesday, July 14, 2015, at 9:30 p.m. after they discovered her missing from home. Due to the minor’s age, the missing girl was considered to be a “Critical Missing Person.” Deputies from Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Station began a search operation to locate the girl. While patrol deputies searched the community, investigators checked her phone records. Deputies called a phone number found on her phone records, and a man, later identified as suspect Kaene Dean, answered the phone. He denied knowing the whereabouts of the missing girl. Sheriff’s deputies went to the home of the suspect, where they were allowed inside by the suspect’s parents. Deputies soon found the vic-

tim inside the garage prior to 2 a.m. The victim told deputies she had been befriended by the suspect the previous day while at a grocery store in the Santa Clarita area and that he had sexually assaulted her. Suspect Kaene Dean is a 26 year-old Filipino male resident of Santa Clarita. Suspect Dean is a registered sex offender due to a conviction for indecent exposure in the City of Glendale. He is on parole for burglary. Dean was arrested and booked at Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station and is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail. Sheriff’s Special Victims Bureau investigators are asking any adults or children who have had contact with Suspect Kaene to contact Special Victims Bureau Investigators.

Much to the dismay of civil libertarians, reports have surfaced that televisions can record and transmit private conversations back to the manufacturer or a third party without the knowledge of the user. While some manufacturers have inconspicuous warnings tucked away in their user manuals, consumers are largely unaware that what they say can be monitored, recorded and transmitted to a third party, say, for targeted advertising. “It might be a little creepy if the family discussing financial issues finds themselves receiving targeted commercials from bankruptcy attorneys as they watch their favorite show,”

Perhaps you have never heard of Samuel Pierpont Langley. Langley received funding from the government to build an airplane. He had a great desire to be the first to invent a piloted aircraft. He made many mistakes, and there were many crashes related to his invention. However, Langley kept trying to achieve his goal of being the first to make an aircraft fly. But even if you don’t know Langley, you well know that the Wright Brothers were the first to successfully fly an airplane. After that, Langley gave up trying to build airplanes. Maybe you won’t be the first to achieve your goal. Maybe you will be the hundredth person to do something that everyone else has done. But how are you going to do it better? Andrew Lock, entrepreneur and business coach, used to buy $1 items from the dollar store and sell them on eBay for more

money. When Lock got fired, he decided to turn his hobby into a business. He wrote a book on how to sell on eBay. He now coaches and puts on speaking engagements. This man is a millionaire because of his idea. He didn’t invent anything, but he took something that already existed and made it better. Don’t give up just because someone else stole your idea. Don’t give up because others have made better products than you. Keep learning. Keep using those failures to help yourself get better.

Setting a Goal? Use Oscar de la Hoya By linda linforth

Personal Trainer and Licensed Nutritionist

I often see Oscar de la Hoya and his two friends hiking in the San Gabriel mountains, but it was the first time that really sticks in my mind as a lesson well learned. He and his two friends were on their way down from a point which is about 1.5 miles from the trail head, and I was still on the way up. We passed probably about 10 minutes away from the rest stop and I was so pleased with myself to be sharing part of a training program with a world class athlete. When I got to my end point I thought, “How cool would it be to catch them on the way back down too?” That was my goal: to catch Oscar de la Hoya. As I started to run down, doubts started to creep in: they're so far ahead of me ... maybe they're running now, too ... each switchback on this trail allows a full view of the side of the mountain until it disappears around another bend. Each bend I turned where I couldn't see the three of them meant they were so much further ahead of me. I was never going to catch them. My pace slowed. I was going to fail. It was a silly goal anyway. Around the final crest, you can see the very long, home stretch. Half way down, I could see the three of them still walking. I could catch them. Seeing the goal galvanized me. My stride increased, I took more chances;

I jumped over rocks instead of stepping on them. I was gaining on them at a cracking rate and the distance between us was closing. The goal was in sight, I just needed to keep laser focused on the ground, the rocks, my feet, and not looking up to see where they were. As I ran down the five steps that lead to the trail head, I took them two at a time because I could hear them talking. They were just around the corner, I was going to catch them! Oscar de la Hoya was going to see me fly past him! The three men heard me gaining on them and stepped aside to let me pass ... I suddenly realized that they were three very different men! Three older men just out for a hike. “Thank you,” I said as they wished me a good morning. I had to laugh at myself. There are quite a few moral gems to be gleaned from this story (don't chase a celebrity might be one of them) but for this purpose it was about concentrating on believing I could achieve the goal and not how I was going to get there. It wasn't until I thought my goal was in sight that I allowed myself to believe that I could achieve it, only then did I feel that rush. Plus, those three men were the wrong goal! When goal setting, consider the following: a) definitively state your

goal, b) do not allow selfdoubt to sway you c) change what is not working d) work as though you ware going to achieve e) remember why your goal was important in the first place. What would have happened if I had believed it from the outset? A steadier pace? Less risks? No selfdoubt? Concentrate on the “why” and not the “how” and the journey takes care of itself. Why did I want to catch Oscar? Because he was so far ahead of me. Because he is an athlete. Because it would make me feel accomplished ... if I'd been concentrating on only these things, it would have been less of a roller coaster. As I rounded the final corner, there they were, the correct three guys. Just about to exit the trail head (or the finish line in my head). Oscar and his friends stepped aside to let me pass and as I exited in front of them, one of them said “Damn girl, you're fast.” I thanked them ... if they only knew.

This will be the first time they actually see me sing in public. It will be much different than seeing Mommy sing in the kitchen,” said Tracy, who is most excited to perform songs from Les Misérables, a show she counts among her favorites. “And Walt Disney Concert Hall is stunning and an amazing stage to perform on. I’m so appreciative to be part of this experience with Cal Phil and Victor, who is incredibly sweet and talented.” Tracy, whose work spans from performing in Hairspray on Broadway to Julio Iglesias’ world tour to Les Misérables in Europe, is also looking forward to partnering with Darren Ritchie, “one of her favorite people to work with.” And the feeling is mutual. “Tracy and I did Dracula on Broadway together and have done concerts and

readings as well. She is not only a tremendous talent, but a great friend,” echoed Darren, who is especially eager to sing “Music of the Night” from Phantom of the Opera and “Bring Him Home” from Les Misérables. “I am humbled and beyond excited to perform at both of these awesome venues. The best part is that we will be sharing these wonderful

Always … Patsy Cline depicts the legendary singer backed by a live band performing 27 of her greatest hits in this jukebox musical. Patsy Cline (19321963) was one of the most popular and influential vocalists of the 20th century. Although most associated with country music, she was the first female crossover artist, singing traditional pop, torch songs, rockabilly, honky-tonk, country swing, and gospel. The first female solo artist admitted to the Country Music Hall of Fame, she was also included among The 100 Greatest Women in Rock and Roll (VH1), The 100 Greatest Singers of All Time (Rolling Stone), and The 40 Greatest Women of Country Music (CMT). She first appeared on radio in Winchester, VA in 1947. In 1954, country star Jimmy Dean brought her aboard as a regular on the radio show Town and Country Jamboree in Arlington, VA. In 1955, she began appearing on television, on the TV version of

Summer for Free in L.A. (Final Part): Free Time, Free Fun By Ea Nicole Madrigal Each week Beacon Media News has provided a quick glimpse at free entertaining activities in Los Angeles in hopes that this summer can be one to remember (and one that won’t break the bank). I’ve offered up my perspective and descriptions of different activities (most that can be enjoyed by the entire family) during the quick weeks of summer. However, as you know very well, school is just around the corner and it is time to squeeze the last remainders of fun out of summer for all that its worth. In this last edition of the “Summer for Free” series, I’m offering up five more suggestions of free activities around the San Gabriel Valley. After I make my choices, it will be up to you (and your loved ones, dog, or friends) to go enjoy them for yourselves. I hope that this summer series proved that as expensive as life may seem at times in Los Angeles, there may be a free fun day ahead just around your own corner. Here are five more suggestions for summer time fun for free (in no particular order): -The Tournament of Roses House Tour: Ever

wonder what the beautiful, enormous home is on Orange Grove Boulevard? Or do you really love the Rose Parade and want to learn about the historic house connected to the Parade’s history? According to the Tournament of Roses website, the house is open for “weekly public tours at no cost, each Thursday at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. through Aug. 27. Reservations are not required except for groups of 10 or more people.” The Tournament of Roses House is located at 391 S. Orange Grove Blvd. in Pasadena. -Eaton Canyon Hiking Trail: If Runyon Canyon Hike is affiliated with Hollywood, then Eaton Canyon characterizes the best known hike in the San Gabriel Valley. Remember, all of the rules of hiking apply here; this hike is for beginners to intermediate hikers (including some infamously slippery rocks at times). Yet, the waterfall payoff at the end and the relatively non-steep environment make it ideal for a leisurely day out. But, beware of weekends: Like Runyon Canyon, hiking on Saturday or Sunday means the trail will be packed. -Historic Properties of

Sierra Madre: Referred to as the “Foothill Village,” nothing represents a glimpse into the frontier and historical roots of greater Los Angeles County than the City of Sierra Madre where the word “town” still applies well. For this activity, you don’t even need to exit your car. Take a drive by the historical properties of Sierra Madre, including a beautiful church built in 1888 reminiscent of old world architecture. Remember, many (if not all), of these properties are currently occupied; so, admire them from car window. Go to this website for more information: http://www.smhps. org/historic-properties.html -Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens: Your first reaction to this suggestion is likely, “Wait, this can’t be free.” But on the contrary, a little known fact is that this beautiful, sprawling property (recently renovated) filled with wildlife, gardens, and museums is free the first Thursday of each month. In order to take advantage of this, you should follow what the Huntington’s website states: “Admission to The Huntington is free to all visitors on the first Thursday of every month with advance

Eaton Canyon Falls.

tickets. Hours on Free Day are 10:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.” With regard to culture in Los Angeles, the Huntington tops all other museum offerings. -Farmers’ Markets: Okay, well at the end of your visit to this location, your day may not have ended up entirely free. However, there are several farmers markets

throughout the SGV each week. If you are new to the area or just looking to familiarize yourself with new parts of the Valley, a farmers market offers up more than fresh produce and wares; these locations are excellent places to meet neighbors and friendly faces who are out to seize the beautiful day (just like you). Some of the

markets run on a seasonal basis, such as the City of San Gabriel with a market open on Thursdays during AprilSeptember from 4-8 pm. Whereas, others, like Pasadena’s (at Victory Park) is open every Saturday. So, don’t hesitate, meet new people or bring your friend, the SGV can be very fun (and free).

thousands of acre-feet of water we would need to be able to keep our lawns green, I will happily accept them. Otherwise, Arcadia will continue to do its part to ensure that our residents have enough water to drink until the drought breaks.”

Wuo Fires Back at Critics Suspicious of Gemcoin Affiliation Continued from page 1

the industrially-zoned area north of Downtown Arcadia, mixed-use zoning modifications as necessary, building height and massing standards for commercial zones, and many other elements,” according to a report by Development Services Director Jason Kruckeberg. The zoning update will “also include other elements of the existing contract with MIG, Inc., such as re-formatting the Code and making it more user friendly, modernization of land uses and permitted uses throughout the City, simplification of administrative processes and public hearing processes for various items, modernization of the Subdivision Code, and other ‘clean up’ items,” Kruckeberg explained. The zoning revamp began over a year ago with a budget of $160,000 – more than $100,000 of which has already been spent, according Mayor Gary Kovacic – for a contract with Pasadena-based MIG to perform the bulk of work the code overhaul entails. But in May a slim council majority – John Wuo, Sho Tay, and Mayor Pro Tem Roger Chandler – decided to put the update on hold after a group called Save the Arcadia Highlands filed a law-

suit against the city aimed at blocking construction projects in the neighborhood. The majority reasoned that changes to regulations could jeopardize the city’s court case or open it up to future legal action. This prompted vehement criticism from residents including former Council Member Mickey Siegel, who earlier this month threatened to mobilize a recall campaign against Wuo, Tay, and Chandler. Throughout the last year the city has been embroiled in a very vocal and at times hotly emotional struggle between residents who favor what they claim is more “harmonious and compatible” development that limits the height and square footage of new properties versus property owners – many of whom are real estate investors as well as elderly homeowners seeking a retirement nest egg and inheritance legacy – who prefer a more laissezfaire approach aimed at maximizing home size to command a concurrently sizable sale price. Still on hold until the lawsuit concludes is a revamp of zoning regulations for residential real estate as well as the establishment of

a committee of residents to advise on the zoning update and development policy. “It’s been said before that Arcadia, instead of being a community of homes may be shifting into a community of mansions,” Highlands resident Lee Kuo told council members. “I’m concerned that we may be losing the community part altogether as the values of our city seem to be shifting with a laser-like focus toward maximizing investments and tax revenues.” The council also decided in May to exclude the Highlands from a forthcoming historical preservation survey while the lawsuit remains ongoing. Robert Tong, also a Highlands resident, noted the increased chance of incurring a legal challenge when the council chooses to overrule a homeowner association’s decision, as was the case with the two construction projects that inspired the lawsuit. “The Highlands Homeowners Association is not responsible for the lawsuit,” Tong said. “Therefore the city council has no reason to retaliate and punish the Highlands.” Gemcoin Controversy Adding to the charged atmosphere in the council

chamber over real estate development, in a July 1 article Arcadia Weekly linked former mayor and current councilmember John Wuo to a business headquartered in Arcadia that is using the councilman and his status as an elected official extensively in its marketing material for a financial investment product called Gemcoin, described as a “cryptocurrency” similar to Bitcoin. Tim Burch and David Arvizu are Highlands residents who consistently attend council meetings and voice their displeasure with the panel’s recent actions. Both berated Wuo for his endorsement of Gemcoin, which they likened to a Ponzi scheme, and his business relationships with executives of the digital currency’s parent organizations – USFIA Inc., Alliance Financial Group and the U.S. China Consultation Association. “City council people, mayors, should not be endorsing companies – especially ones that have been identified [as] or suspected of being pyramid schemes,” said Arvizu, head of Save the Arcadia Highlands. “This is an ethics violation, mixing politics with a pyramid scheme.”

Arvizu requested council members put the issue of Wuo’s Gemcoin connection on their next meeting agenda to “discuss this in public ... and admonish his inappropriate behavior.” Wuo did not respond to Arvizu’s comments about Gemcoin at the July 7 council meeting, but he did on Tuesday. “Please be responsible with your comments and [don’t make] unfounded allegations,” Wuo told Arvizu. “The first time I was mayor I attended over 700 events in ... Arcadia or the San Gabriel Valley,” Wuo said. “I’ve made a lot of ceremonial speeches and always wish them success in their business. I’m not going to go up there and say I wish your business fails.” Wuo then reiterated comments he made in an interview with Arcadia Weekly: “I don’t know anything about Gemcoin, I don’t have any financial interest.” He also rebuffed the allegation Arvizu made July 7 that Wuo may be stashing Gemcoin compensation into an overseas bank account. “I challenge you to show me if I have an offshore account or have an account in a foreign country,” Wuo said after denying he has such assets.

Arvizu augmented his comments with a video monitor positioned so that council members and cameras that broadcast meetings could view videos posted online showing Wuo speaking at Gemcoin marketing events. “I was invited to present awards ... and the other one was a news conference [Gemcoin founder Steve Chen] invited me to say a few words,” Wuo explained. “Those are ceremonial speeches. It’s just a very regular, ceremonial, congratulatory speech.” Wuo repeated several times that he has no financial stake in Gemcoin or affiliated companies, adding: “Yes, they made me the honorary chairman, but many companies, many associations have made me the honorary chairman. ... Your accusation about this being a Ponzi – we don’t know that, and you don’t know that. It’s not up to me to make that determination, it’s up to the state to look into it and see if they are doing Ponzi.” Wuo concluded his remarks by imploring critics to “keep focus on the issues we have at hand, which is to continue doing the city’s business rather than doing the personal attacks on me.”

Services including Merchandise and Spectator Information will be provided starting at 3 p.m. To purchase tickets, visit Ticketmaster at: http://bit. ly/1dyHBWh.

 Due to increased secu-

rity and the high level of local and international dignitaries in attendance; most of the lots near or around the coliseum will be unavailable for spectator parking. Bill Robertson Way will be closed for security purposes and other streets around the Los Angeles Coliseum will be impacted due to the magnitude and operational needs of the event. Thirty-nine Final Leg Torch Run team members carrying the Flame of Hope ran through Temple City on July 19 as part of the Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) Final Leg for Special Olympics. When the Flame reaches the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for the Los Angeles Special Olympics World Summer Games Opening Ceremony on July 25, it would have traveled through 122 California cities and towns. The members consist of police officers and Special Olympics athletes from three of the 10 LETR teams. Seventy-six law enforcement torch runners, 10 Special Olympics athletes and 10 team leaders constitute these 10 teams. In addition, there are 23 logistics, four documentation team members, and one team captain, forming a total of 124 team members from

23 countries, 46 US States, six Canadian provinces and 94 law enforcement agencies. Around 3:30 p.m., the runners arrived at Temple City Park from the Ralphs’ parking lot on Las Tunas Drive. Then they gathered for a ceremony with council members, state representatives, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department law enforcement officers, local Special Olympics athletes and residents. Temple City Mayor Tom Chavez welcomed LETR to the city and spoke about the power of sports, which allows athletes to discover new strengths, abilities, skills and success. “Now through the efforts of Special Olympics, those experiences can be shared and enjoyed by the

millions of people around the world affected by intellectual disabilities,” he said. “The Special Olympics is a celebration, a celebration of caring and involvement. Through the power of sport, we can all stand together to create a better, more accepting world.” Later, Special Olympics athlete Cody Pierce of Kansas spoke, thanking the city for allowing him and the LETR police officers to be at the ceremony. A gold medalist in long jump at the 2014 Special Olympics U.S. National Games in New Jersey, Pierce has been participating in Special Olympics since 2010 and is part of the New Hope Bulldogs, his Special Olympics team. Participating in 15 sports year round, Pierce said his favorites are basketball, football, and track

and field. “I wanted to participate in Special Olympics in order to live my dream of playing sports,” Pierce explained in a July 17 interview. “I have a heart condition so in high school I couldn’t do regular sports. But now I am enjoying my dream of being an Olympian. I also wanted to give back to the community and see the children that are participating in Special Olympics.” Pierce’s head coach of the New Hope Bulldogs John Lair, nominated two athletes for the World Games from Kansas, Pierce and Chevi Peters. Peters was chosen as an athlete for the World Games, while LETR Team Captain John Newman chose Pierce to be one of the 10 Special Olympics athletes for the torch run after being inspired by Pierce’s story. To prepare for the run, Pierce worked out every morning five days a week.

Pasadena Sierra Madre Monrovia

After Pierce spoke, law enforcement officer Bob Scarpelli of Maine spoke about his involvement with Special Olympics. It started in the late 1980s when his friend asked if he can participate in a local Special Olympics torch run. As years went by, his involvement grew. He mentored special education middle school children, coached the Maine regional games, and become chaperone, coach and driver for the Maine’s South Portland Special Olympics team for Maine’s summer games. “I have three things I want to talk about,” Scarpelli voiced in his speech. “I want to talk about awareness, making people aware of what they can do for Special Olympics. To the acceptance, to accept our Special Olympics athletes. And inclusion, to include them in all that we do.” Scarpelli mentioned he applied for the LETR in order to meet different police officers around the world, to give something to the world and to have a memorable experience to cumulate his career that might end soon. Route Leader Roberta Abner commented that she was impressed by the high energy and support from the audience, which constituted the largest gathering so far in her group’s specific route. President of the Temple City Chamber of Commerce Peter Choi said, “I am very excited and proud that the Temple City stop had one of the largest participation of community support for this Special Olympics event.” Go Metro.

The Ultimate Tae Kwon Do Fighters Academy Story and photos by amelia favela The Ultimate Taekwondo Fighters Academy is a martial arts studio that focuses on training members to become highly skilled fighters. The academy was founded by sisters Ixchel and Samantha Escobar in 2008, and has been located in their hometown El Monte ever since. As both sisters co-manage and instruct classes, their father Carlos holds the title of Master. The family business also treats its trainees as family, as the facility welcomes all ages to come in and train to become ultimate fighters in Brazilian jiu jitsu, muay thai, Olympic-style tae kwon do (TKD), and kickboxing. The academy initially came into existence as a facility to help co-founder Samantha prepare for the Olympics. With the humble intention of providing Samantha a place where she could strengthen her TKD skills, the owners had no idea what an impact the studio would make on the community. Shortly after opening the academy, the owners realized it was more than just a training facility; it was an outlet for the adolescents who didn’t want to be in the

streets, a place for the bullied to learn self-defense. “Many kids are always out wandering around because they have nothing to do; they’re fighting, doing drugs, getting into trouble, “ Ixchel said, “So we dropped the prices to make it easier for them to join.” The academy has proven to be a great help to El Monte as the nearly 400 students who are a part of the program learn discipline, respect, integrity, honor and self-control. With the motto, “We build leaders one black belt at a time,” the Master and instructors implement structure through various drills and exercises that teach members how to be strong confident leaders. The tactics have shown to be successful as this is the only TKD academy in the San Gabriel Valley to have 16 national champions; all who started as a white belt. Getting trainees and parents to understand the mandatory discipline at the facility can sometimes be a challenge. “A lot of people don’t understand discipline, so it can take them a while to know what discipline is, especially adults who aren’t used to it because they’re already grown,” said Ixchel.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Arcadia City Council will hold a public hearing for the project described below. The project includes the following:

Project Location:

This challenge is also evident when young students have parents who don’t understand that speaking firmly is necessary in marital arts. As a solution, instructors always communicate with parents to assure they understand why their child was lectured. Parents are also given the opportunity to sit-in every class and watch their child from a comfortable seating area less than ten-feet from the training mats. Regardless of the difficulties and challenges, Ixchel said the academy looks forward to extending its services to more children, teenagers and adults who want to learn self-defense, discipline and respect throughout the entire San Gabriel Valley. “We hope to open more locations in the SGV to help as many people as we can.” Contact the academy at (855) FIGHT-08 or visit them at 4337 Peck Road El Monte, CA 91732. www.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property.

Any information obtained may be used for that purpose. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 730-2727 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site - www.servicelinkASAP. com - for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case: 122110. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Saint Mark’s Welcomes New Head of School by MAY S. RUIZ There is a little-known enclave north of Pasadena where life is serene, neighbors still greet each other, and one can practically touch the mountain. This small community is Altadena, a name derived from a combination of the Spanish word “alta,” meaning upper, and “dena” from Pasadena. It is a quaint community with horse properties and where homes’ backyards open to trails. There are very few multi-storied establishments and whatever landmarks have stood before remain to this day -- St. Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic Church, the Zane Grey Estate, the Balian Mansion. It is where one can find Christmas Tree Lane, a California Historical Landmark. Another stalwart of the community is Saint Mark’s School, founded in 1960 by a group of dedicated parents who saw a need for quality education in a racially integrated setting. It has since grown into a well-respected preK-6th grade school that provides a strong academic curriculum that fosters critical thinking and creativity while instilling in its students a strong sense of moral and ethical responsibility.

Azusa Unified Builds Science Lab, Expands Arts Programs Azusa Unified will kick off the 2015-16 school year on Tuesday, Aug. 18 with expanded arts and STEM programs. Center Middle School students will return to a new science lab as the District continues its work to bolster career pathways that

begin in middle school and continue through high school. In addition, Azusa Unified is introducing a new “Meet the Masters” art program in which students study the works of legendary artists such as Vincent Van Gogh and Pablo Picasso.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson announced 371 elementary schools will share $12.2 million in federal grants to provide fresh fruits and vegetables to students in low-income areas. “Nearly three out of every five students in California are at greater risk of

good nutrition. Eligible applicants for the grant include elementary schools where half the student population is low-income and the school participates in the National School Lunch Program. The schools must make fresh fruits and vegetables available during the day to all students outside

not having access to enough nutritious foods outside of school, which could hurt their ability to concentrate and learn,” said Torlakson. “This program takes a bite out of this kind of food insecurity, providing students with the healthy food they need to succeed in careers and college.” The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) is a federal grant designed to teach students about

of the school breakfast and lunch programs. Schools must widely publicize the availability of the program at school and may partner with other groups to support their efforts. FFVP also supports the local economy as schools purchase fresh produce from local farmers. Many schools have already launched several successful programs funded by FFVP grants. Lodi Unified School District (USD)

started a special wholeschool “Farmer’s Market” experience for its students. Teachers at San Francisco USD train some students to be “Snack Ambassadors” to teach other pupils about nutrition as the teachers distribute fruit and vegetable snacks in the classroom. Pajaro Valley USD offers a fruit

and vegetable mix on a cart for students to easily grab and enjoy during recess. Out of 625 schools that applied for the FFVP, 371 were selected, demonstrating that there is significant interest in the program. The list of schools receiving the grants is listed below and located on the California Department of Education’s Funding Results: Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program Web page.

Pasadena Unified’s Eliot Arts Magnet and Washington STEAM Magnet Academy Receive Instrument Grant

Eliot Arts Magnet and Washington STEAM Magnet Academy in the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) are receiving 74 new musical instruments thanks to the Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation. Eliot and Washington were targeted for the instrument donation because of their strong music programs and leadership, striking an important chord for both schools. “This wonderful award will not only fulfill the hopes and dreams of so many of our student musicians but also will allow us to continue our great work in becom-

ing the premier arts magnet school in PUSD,” said Eliot Arts Magnet Principal Lori Touloumian. “Learning music in school is a way to engage kids and give them something that makes them better students and better people,” said Felice Mancini, President and CEO of the Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation. “They deserve every tool available to help them receive a quality education, and we want to insure that music is in that toolbox."

The organization was inspired by the 1995 motion picture Mr. Holland’s Opus and founded by Michael Kamen, who composed the music for the movie and countless others. In the last 19 years, over 18,000 new and refurbished instruments have been donated to over 1,311 schools across the country.

A new California Appellate case just published August 8, 2013, “Glaski v. Bank of America”, holds that a homeowner can challenge his lender’s right to foreclose by showing that the Deed of Trust never made it into the securitized trust until after the trust’s closing date. This issue is now squarely before the California Supreme Court in Yvanova v. New Century Mortgage Corp. This is the case in most loans made in the last 12 years. If the bank foreclosed we should be able to get the homeowner money damages and/or the house back. Or a lawsuit could be filed and a court ruling obtained preventing the court from foreclosing. Recently enacted Sections 2924(a)(6) and 2924.19 of California Civil Code provide the same relief to homeowners. It is highly suggested that homeowners take this window of opportunity to get relief before the banks get Congress to close this door with national legislation. Contact us so we can help you.

Police Blotters

PASADENA July 13

Pasadena Police officers responded to the 1600 block of Colorado Boulevard regarding a suspicious device left outside the front door of a local coffee shop. PPD officers arrived and confirmed what looked like a “pressure-cooker” device. Officers could not locate the owner of the device and requested the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Bomb Squad. The bomb squad arrived and determined the device did not contain explosives. July 14 At about 12:12 p.m., Pasadena Police Officer David Thomas responded to a possible residential burglary in progress in the 400 Block of Castano Avenue. On arrival, David saw two individuals matching the description of the suspects as they walked down the driveway of the victim’s home. Both suspects immediately fled, and David gave chase. During the foot pursuit, the suspects discarded two firearms that were stolen from the burglary. One suspect was apprehended without incident by assisting officers and the second suspect eluded PPD by entering a nearby vehicle. Officers attempted to follow the suspect’s vehicle; however, it was lost and not immediately located. The burglary suspect was booked at the Pasadena jail. The efforts of David and other PPD officers resulted in the arrest of a burglary suspect and the prevention of two firearms from making their way into our community. July 15 The Burbank Police Department investigated a home invasion robbery in their city. During the robbery, an 89 year-old victim was assaulted by the suspect(s). Burbank police detectives later determined the suspect(s) lived in Pasadena, near Green Street and Kinneloa Avenue. PPD

Corporal Broghamer and Officer J. Rappuchi assisted Burbank Police detectives with the robbery case. During their investigation, they attempted to conduct an enforcement stop on a possible suspect vehicle. The driver of the vehicle failed to yield to law enforcement officials and subsequently crashed into another motorist near Del Mar Boulevard and Madre Street. Fortunately, the occupants in the other car were not injured. The suspect was arrested without incident and a search warrant was later served as his residence. Other PPD personnel involved in the case include: Sergeants Tucker and Villalovos, Corporal Thompson, Officers Hooker, S. Rappuchi, Magat, Salinas, Thomas, Vidales, De Sylva, Klotz, and Park Safety Specialists Ortiz.

July 16 At about 9:07 p.m., Pasadena Police Officers assigned to the Special Enforcement Section (SES) were conducting an AB109 compliance check in the 500 block of North Mentor Avenue when they saw a suspicious vehicle. Officer C. Montiglio developed sufficient probable cause and made contact with the driver (sole occupant). He was assisted by Sergeants J. Aguilar and A. Bzdigian. During the field investigation, the officers discovered the subject (male, 29 years, San Bernardino Resident) was armed with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun. He was arrested without incident and the pistol was booked into evidence.

Sierra Madre July 15

At 7:08 a.m., Sierra Madre Police responded to the 2000 block of Santa Anita Avenue regarding a stolen vehicle. Upon arrival, Officers were informed by the victim that the night before at around 7 p.m., he parked and secured his vehicle in his driveway. The following morning while his wife was leaving to work, she discovered the

vehicle was missing. The victim was in possession of all the vehicle keys and did not give anyone permission to drive his vehicle. Officers investigated the area and did not see any signs of broken glass. This case has been forwarded to the Detective Bureau.

At 6:21 p.m., Sierra Madre Police responded to the station lobby regarding a fraud report. Officers were informed by the victim that she had noticed unauthorized charges on her debit card. One charge was placed in Granada Hills at a grocery store, while another charge was placed at a clothing store in Camarillo totaling over $1,000. This case has been forwarded to the Detective Bureau.

July 19

At 11:58 a.m., Sierra Madre Police responded to the 1900 block of Liliano Drive regarding a theft report. Officers were informed by the victim that the night before, she had left her bicycle in front of her house unlocked. The following morning she discovered her bike was missing. Officers searched the area and were unable to locate any clues as to when or how the bike was stolen. This case has been forwarded to the Detective Bureau.

At 3:30 p.m., Sierra Madre Police responded to an emergency situation after a resident arrived at the station lobby with a box containing a potential grenade device. The resident stated she was cleaning out a relative’s old military items when she came across the device and decided to bring it to the station for disposal. Officers placed the item outside of the station and cleared all personnel from the station. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Bomb squad was notified. They later determined the device was inert and took possession of the device for proper disposal. No further action was taken.
