Will ‘LA Partyworks’ Continue to Run Monrovia’s Friday Night Street Fair?
COMPLIMENTARY COPY VOLUME 19, NO. 31
BY TERRY MILLER AND SUSAN MOTANDER Last week the city of Monrovia issued a warning to Los Angeles Partyworks demanding that the company comply with the terms of their contract to run the Friday evening Monrovia Street Fair. This action came just days after Kurt Anderson, who has long been affiliated with the prior manager of the Friday event, presented the city council with a long list of what he called violations of the agreement with the city. At that time Monrovia City Manager Oliver Chi stated that the oversight committee in charge of the Friday night event had already scheduled a meeting for the next day. By the end of last week rumors were pandemic. Chi acknowledged that a notice of termination had
been sent to the company. He explained that this was the manner prescribed by the contract to notify that company when it was not in compliance with the contract. Chi said that while the new managers “have been effective in expanding the event and making layout changes,” he also said there “have been a couple of significant concerns.” Chi acknowledged that there had been “good feedback” regarding the music and other aspects of the Friday Street fair. However, he also noted that he and the oversight committee had real concerns about the set up and take-down of the event as well as about the general SEE PG. 7

San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control District Has Identified West Nile Virus - Positive Mosquitoes in the City of San Dimas A sample of mosquitoes collected in traps placed by the District in Briggs Point Park (north east corner of Covina Boulevard and Badillo Street) in the city of San Dimas on July 15 was tested and found positive for West Nile virus (WNV). This is the first sample of WNVpositive mosquitoes confirmed within the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District’s boundaries. The District has already intensified its surveillance and control efforts to prepare for the seasonal emergence of this virus. Since its introduction in 2003 through 2014, there have been 4,805 reported human infections and 176 deaths from WNV in California, according to the California Department of Public Health. West Nile virus is endemic in California and presents a risk to public health every year. Since there is no treatment or vaccine for infections with WNV, the best precaution is to prevent mosquito bites. All residents within the District should use repellents according to their labels, wear long sleeves and long pants if outdoors between dusk and dawn, and ensure windows and doors are properly screened to keep mosquitoes outside. It is also critical that residents survey their property and remove all standing water to prevent mosquito reproduction. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in sources of standing water such as neglected pools, buckets, miscellaneous containers, puddles, and ponds. Eggs can hatch and mature into biting adults in five to seven days. “One mosquito bite can change a life,” says Wakoli Wekesa, the District’s Scientific Program Direc-

tor. “We urge residents to take these simple protective measures throughout the summer: • AVOID overwatering and prevent litter, leaves and debris from entering the gutters and streets.
• DRAIN: Check properties weekly and remove all sources of standing water. Report green, inoperable pools or other sources of standing water to the District. • DAWN AND DUSK: Wear effective repellents
and long sleeves if outdoors when mosquitoes are present (between dawn and dusk). • DEFEND: Ensure doors and windows are properly screened. The District encourages the public to help
identify WNV “hot spots” by reporting dead birds to the WNV Hotline at (877) WNV-BIRD ((877) 9682473) or online at www. westnile.ca.gov. We also urge our residents to call the District to report any mosquito activity.

LAPD Officer Sentenced for Assault While on Duty
An LAPD officer was sentenced last week to 16 months in county jail for assault under color of authority during a July 2012 arrest, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. Officer Mary O’Callaghan, 50, was sentenced to the maximum of three years in local custody after a jury in June found her guilty of pushing, shoving and kicking Alesia Thomas during Thomas’ arrest. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Sam Ohta sentenced O’Callaghan to the maximum term, but suspended 20 months of the 36-month
sentence. He also denied a defense motion to place the 18-year police veteran on probation in case BA417095. Deputy District Attorney Shannon Presby, assistant head deputy of the Justice System Integrity Division who prosecuted the case, told the court that the victim needed help that day, “but what she got was violence.” On July 22, 2012, LAPD officers were dispatched to Alesia Thomas’ residence in the 9100 block of South Broadway Avenue to investigate possible child abandonment. After interviewing Thomas, LAPD
officers placed her under arrest. O’Callaghan arrived on the scene to assist the arresting officers with placing Thomas, who was handcuffed and had on leg restraints, in a patrol car. A police cruiser’s video camera captured O’Callaghan kicking Thomas in the stomach and groin area and pushing her in the throat. While in the patrol car, Thomas lost consciousness and paramedics were called. She was transported to a hospital where she was pronounced dead. The case was investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department.
Kids From Los Angeles Return From JDRF 2015 Children’s Congress
Jackson Blair, 7, Madeleine Redmond, 10, Claire Haslett, 11 and Grace Walker, 17, of the Greater Los Angeles area, shared an once-in-a-lifetime experience last week. They lobbied Congress urging for continued federal government support for research that aims to reduce the burden of the disease they have all live with - type 1 diabetes (T1D) - until a cure becomes available. Jackson, Madeleine, Claire and Grace were among more than 150 children - ages 4 to 17, representing all 50 states and the District of Columbia - who visited the nation’s capital as delegates at JDRF 2015 Children’s Congress, held July 13-15. They were chosen through the JDRF Los Angeles Chapter from a pool of more than 1,500 applicants nationwide to represent California at this biennial event. JDRF Children’s Con-
- Courtesy Photo
gress, the largest grassroots event held in support of research for T1D, culminated with a congressional committee hearing on July 15, which included testimony from selected delegates. The focus of these personal testimonies was to draw attention to the daily struggles of those living with the disease and the need for maintained support for funding research that brings us closer to a world without T1D. In addition to the hear-
ing, the delegates took part in a Town Hall, where they had the opportunity to learn and interact with T1D role models, including singer/ songwriter Este Haim, who explained how her family helps her manage her T1D while she is on the road and performing on stage with her band Haim, professional snowboarder Sean Busby, actor Austin Bases and pro football player Brandon Denson. JDRF is the leading global organization focused on type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. JDRF’s goal is to progressively remove the impact of T1D from people’s lives until we achieve a world without T1D. JDRF collaborates with a wide spectrum of partners and is the only organization with the scientific resources, policy influence and a working plan to bring life-changing therapies from the lab to the community. As the largest charitable supporter of T1D research, JDRF has invested nearly $2 billion in research over the past 45 years and is sponsoring scientific research in 17 countries worldwide.

‘Dogs Die in Hot Cars!’ District Attorney Jackie Lacey offered that warning last week as she launched a countywide campaign to remind pet owners that leaving an animal in a hot car is not only cruel but also illegal. “It is never alright to leave a pet alone in a hot car – not when a window is left ‘cracked’ open, not when the car is parked in the shade and not when you think you’ll be in the store for just a few minutes,” District Attorney Lacey said. “Leaving a dog alone in a hot car is a crime,” she said. First-time offenders may be fined $100. Repeat offenders may be fined $500 and sentenced to up to six months in county jail. If an animal is harmed or dies, owners may be charged with felony animal cruelty, which carries a three-year prison sentence. District Attorney Lacey launched the campaign on July 23 at Westfield Fashion Square in Sherman Oaks. She was joined by Nomo, a 13-year-old white Lab-

rador, and “spokesdog” for the summer pet safety campaign. The “Dogs Die in Hot Cars!” poster is displayed at seven Westfield shopping centers throughout Southern California. The poster in English and Spanish and a fact sheet also are available athttp://da.lacounty. gov/media/media-resources for posting on websites and social media. As part of the campaign, the District Attorney’s Office trained more than 180 Westfield employees on how to respond when pets are found in locked vehicles inside mall
parking lots. District Attorney Lacey reminded the public that only peace officers, humane officers and animal control officers – not members of the public – are legally allowed to take action to remove an animal from a hot vehicle, including breaking a window. Shoppers are encouraged to contact Westfield security if they see unattended pets in vehicles parked at their malls. Otherwise, residents should contact their local animal control agency. If an animal in an unattended vehicle is in distress, call 911.

A 31-year-old man was charged today with capital murder in the July 5 fatal sidewalk shooting of a woman in Hollywood, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. Ezeoma Chigozie Obioha (DOB 6/17/84) is scheduled to be arraigned today at the Foltz Criminal Justice Center, Department 30, in case BA438448. Prosecutors will ask that he be held without bail. Deputy District Attorney Craig Hum with the Major Crimes Division is handling the case. Obioha is charged with one count of murder with the special circumstances of lying in wait and murder for financial gain in the July 5 shooting death of Carrie Melvin. Melvin was shot once as she was walking with her boyfriend near Sunset Boulevard and McCadden Place at about 10 p.m. The complaint also alleges Obioha personally and intentionally discharged a shotgun. Prosecutors said the murder was the result of a business dispute. The special circumstances make Obioha eligible for the death penalty. Prosecutors will decide later whether to seek death or life in prison without the possibility of parole if he is convicted. The case remains under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department.

Attic Treasures The attic of my aunt's farm house contained a wealth of treasures for children's imaginations. My cousins and I could form a terrific music group. One of us could play the guitar. It only had three strings, none of which represented any true key. We kept them fairly loose so we wouldn't break any more. Our main instrument was the pump organ that sat against the back wall, beside the window. In summer it squawked in the heat and in winter screeched from the cold. It all sounded marvelous to us kids. The harder we pumped, the louder the con-
cert. The youngest kids with the shortest legs had to pump the fastest. There were little knobs above the keyboard. We would pull and push them as we pressed the keys. The sound would magically change. It was hard to concentrate on pumping, pulling, pressing and still sing. We would play and sing in accompaniment to an old Victrola that stood tall in the corner just the other side of the window. There was no electricity, of course. It had a handle on the side that we cranked to move the turntable. We would crank the handle as far as we could then
one of the tallest kids would carefully set the needle on the record. The words and music would be very fast at first, then slow to normal speed for a while, then get e-v-e-n s-l-o-w-e-r until we cranked it up again. We tried to crank, pump, strum and sing at least in sync, if not in key. We made beautiful music with that old Victrola, the three stringed guitar, the moth eaten organ and a variety of young voices. My aunt told me later that the adults downstairs found our music quite symphonious. They knew they only had to worry when it stopped.

Q:
That’s an interesting question. It took me a few minutes to recognize the context: Several years ago, a book with that title was published by LouAnn Lofton. I do indeed agree with several of her written opinions. In short, her logic is that women make investment decisions for different reasons than many men might. To quote Martha Stewart – “It’s a Good Thing.” Mr. Buffett has stated that it’s “temperament, not intellect” that makes for a successful investor. We of the female persuasion are more likely to hold a long-term outlook. We do more research and trade less. These are attributes of skilled investment decision-makers. Contrary to common narrative, women tend to be better at controlling their emotions. Many people in the financial industry can be over-confident. Some get enthused by the prospect of the Next Big Thing – which often leads to gambling against the odds. Shunning such excessive risk could lead to less market volatility. Who wouldn’t prefer a stock market graph that resembles a steady mountain climb as opposed to a shark’s jagged smile? In case the answer to that rhetorical question is too obliquely implied: adrenaline junkies – of either gender. There’s sometimes a propensity to trade on a hot stock tip instead of researching a company and its management
Good Morning, Emmy. Do you think Warren Buffett invests like a girl? team first. From my perspective, this qualifies as speculation more than investing. Statistically, men make more trades than women do. Frequent trading drags down investment results by running up transaction costs that cut into earnings. Women make less money and live longer than men. The data doesn’t lie. Some women are acutely aware of being in this situation - having to make do for longer with less money. Whether consciously or not, this vantage point forces us to take our investment decisions just a little more seriously. Here’s an anecdote that sums up something important: A stay-at-home grandmother enjoyed watching QVC. She’d order items that piqued her interest or seemed useful. Usually she was pleased with her purchase. In the earlynineties a light bulb went off. This home shopping thing was a rather lucrative business and she wanted in on it. Her husband, charming man,
ridiculed her women’s acumen. But she quietly, with her daughter’s assistance, invested ten thousand dollars in the company. It turned out to be a sound decision. Long story short, within a decade she sold the stock and used the proceeds to buy her husband a Lincoln Town Car. She still claims that car offered her the most comfortable ride of her life. Warren Buffett, way-out there in Omaha, calmly invests in companies he knows about and patiently builds his wealth. As a well-trained woman working in a “manly” profession, I support his methodology - regardless of its gender association. Securities and Advisory Services offered through National Planning Corp.

The Truth About Lifetime Spousal Support By Don Schweitzer When actors Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced their plans for divorce in June, the significance of their 10-year marriage became the focus of media attention. In the California Family Court a 10-year marriage is considered a longterm marriage and most expect that spousal support, if ordered, would be for a long duration. In the case of marriages with lengths of less than 10 years, courts tend to order spousal support to be paid for one half the duration of the marriage. The California Family Code provides for rebuttable presumptions concerning the characterization of a long term versus a shortterm marriage. For example, let’s say a couple was married for nine years and two months, but they also lived together five years prior to getting married. The court may determine that their relationship is considered a long-term marriage. On the flip side, I have seen cases where a couple was married for more than 10 years yet the court departed from the presumption and ordered spousal support as though they had been married for only half of that time. Frequently, we are asked by clients if they can expect the court to issue “lifetime” or “permanent” spousal support after the dissolution of marriage, with the idea that they can expect income from support well into retirement and beyond. The truth of the matter is under the current law there is no such thing as “lifetime spousal support,” unless the payer foolishly signed a
stipulation and is ordered to pay “non-modifiable” support until either party’s death or remarriage of the payee, which is rare. Most family law attorneys are very reluctant to make a non-modifiable order without a termination date. And let’s say that the payer is ordered to pay a significant amount of spousal support over a great length of time. The second reality is that spousal support can be modified to zero if the payee is in an accident or loses her job, and spousal support will be terminated if the payer dies or if the recipient remarries. In California, the court has to balance out many variables when considering or denying the requested amount and length of spousal support. These variables range from income and assets, the nature and duration of the relationship, children, education level, age, standard of living and even domestic violence. And the outcome will vary case-to-case. For example, the court can order a step down, where the amount of support paid will gradually decrease over a period of time. Or if the recipient was unemployed or a stay-at-home parent for the duration of the marriage, the court can order that person to receive job training or a higher level of education to become employable by a certain date. Spousal support does not guarantee financial support for a lifetime. In fact, the court will expect that eventually each party will reach a level of financial selfsufficiency. Over a passage of
time, the court can decrease or terminate spousal support, even when the court’s expectations of future employment have not been met. Your best financial security net is to prepare for a new means of financial income once your divorce is on track. It will mean making sacrifices and undergoing exploration on your part to find a new career, but divorce often results in a little soul searching as you travel a path to a new life. The final reality is most people who were worried about the transition after a divorce end up realizing it was the best change in their life. Donald Schweitzer is founder and partner of The Law Offices of Donald P. Schweitzer, based in Pasadena, Calif. As a Certified Family Law Specialist and former District Attorney, he has extensive background in domestic violence, divorce and child custody issues.

In recognition of his contribution to Polish culture, the Government of Poland presented a Gold Medal for Merit to Culture “Gloria Artis’ to Yundi in 2010.

Minions for Everybody? By ea nicole madrigal
The Minions started out as they should: they became infamous just a few years ago because they were the dutiful (and silly) followers of a man, who was simply “despicable.” The children’s film Despicable Me brought these little, yellow “things” into the lives of children and adults around the country (and the world). But, it wouldn’t be long until they garnered enough popularity that people demanded that the Minions get their own film. But, what happens when Minions don’t have a leader? This is exactly where Minions, the film, begins and the resolution to this problem is where it ends as well. However, it takes the Minions a while to find their true “terrible” ruler. Most of this film follows their time under the ruthless leadership of Scarlet Overkill who hatches a plan to exploit her followers to steal the Queen of England’s crown. In fact, the story takes place in England with many creative and predictable scenes of chaos and hullabaloo. The audience takes a ride with these little yellow heroes in hopes that they can eventually find a true ruler whom they can bring back to their little yellow herd to tell them what to do forever! The responsibility to do so falls on the flat, yellow backs of the central characters Stuart, Kevin, and Bob. As expected, Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment gathered an all-star cast to play
the voices of the speaking parts in this animated adventure; including Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm, Michael Keaton, and Allison Janney. And there is no doubt that expectations for the feature’s release were highly anticipated for lovers of the original animated film, Despicable Me. And in that respect, the film succeeds in bringing in and entertaining the devout a u d i ences that it d i d several

Yet with that said, I attended Minions in a theater with a combination of children and adults and there were not enough comedic moments to carry the entire film. And though some recent children’s animated films provide expected emotional elements in several scenes, Minions is more about giving the audience a giggle than a philosophical cry. Simultaneously, this kind of fun is a reminder that not all animated films need to be an emotional rollercoaster or an enlightened quest to a moral or societal message.

‘A Night with Janis Joplin’: Hauntingly Magnificent Performances Dominate the Stage by nathaniel cayanan Under a hazy neon spotlight that illuminates the stage at the Pasadena Playhouse stands what seems to be a resurrected cultural icon. With an intoxicating voice and playfully animated presence, she sings with such raw emotion and meticulous harmony that makes all watching her just sit back and wonder at such apparently supernatural dexterity. She's raw. Electric. Profound. That’s how to best describe Mary Bridget Davies’ stellar performance as 1960s rock 'n’ roll icon Janis Joplin in the Tony Award-nominated production, “A Night with Janis Joplin.” Davies, from the moment she graces the stage with her presence, completely embodies Joplin, going beyond just mere impersonation and truly
bringing to life a revolutionary figure who tragically died in 1970. While the title of the show is “A Night with Janis Joplin,” Joplin actually shares the stage with the legendary singers who influenced her music and imparted essences of their voices that made them so memorable. Davies’ voice as Joplin infuses Nina Simone’s sincere yearning, Aretha Franklin’s caressing soul, Odetta’s folksy assertiveness and Bessie Smith’s full-bodied seductiveness. And these legendary singers not only maintain a presence in Davies' voice as Joplin, but also in person on stage, through the incredibly talented avatars Sharon Catherine Brown, Yvette Cason, Jenelle Lynn Randall and Sylvia Maccalla.
Now, the show is not as much a play as it is a concert. There are no characters that Joplin interacts with directly, nor a real plot that specifically pushes an overall narrative forward. Instead, Davies, as Joplin, narrates a few anecdotes about her upbringing, her beginnings as a member of Big Brother and the Holding Company, her solo career and her philosophies that evolve as she and her music matured. Additionally, the aesthetics, which mix digital media, vibrant lighting, and elaborate costuming, along with some really energetic choreography, truly keeps the show alive for the full two hours. Sure, such a show will obviously appeal to a generation of baby boomers who grew up listening to
Joplin, but the Randy Johnson-directed show can appeal to generations young and old. Why? Because “A Night with Janis Joplin” is a night full of soul, a spectacle as electrifying as the Energizer Bunny, and proof as to why Janis Joplin was and is the quintessential Queen of rock 'n' roll. “A Night with Janis Joplin” will play until Aug. 16 at the Pasadena Playhouse, 39 S. El Molino Ave., Pasadena, California 91101. Show Nights and times are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 8 p.m., Saturday at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Sunday at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets are $55-$150, and can be purchased at www.pasadenaplayhouse.com, by calling (626) 356-7529, or in person at the box office.

Mini-Olympics Provide Fun Way to El Monte Mounted Police Volunteer Horse Conclude Summer Extended School ‘Simba’ Competing in Special Olympics Year Program for MVSD Students Candice Camacho
Tapping into the fanfare and excitement surrounding the Special Olympics World Games coming to Los Angeles, students in Mountain View School District’s Extended School Year summer program participated in their own Mini-Olympics event held at Baker School. Sprawled over the school’s field, about 120 students competed in the first annual Extended School Year Mini Olympics. Events included a 50-yard dash, bean bag toss, javelin throw and standing long jump. A torch run opened the games and students participated in warm-ups and stretches before embarking on their events. Coordinated by teacher Leticia McCorkle, the teachers, support staff and administrators were on hand to facilitate the games and encourage the students to do their best. Alejandro, a third grader, was very excited for the games. He was one of the torch runners and was looking forward to competing. “The 50-yard dash was my favorite. I ran fast and since I’m so fast you can call me Flash!” he said. Students were divided up into countries and represented the U.S.A., Mexico, Canada and Brazil as they competed. Representing Mexico, eighth grader Abby had a fun day and liked the bean bag toss the best. “It was a lot of fun doing the games and I’m happy
and her horse Simba are members of the El Monte Mounted Police Volunteers and LA County Parks & Rec. Whitter Narrows Mounted Assistance Unit. The Unit is competing at the Special Olympics World Games. He is competing with a rider from Kazakhstan. He is the oldest horse competing there at age 29/30. The competition runs thru Sat. afternoon at the LA Equestrian Center.

I won a few medals,” she said. “Everyone did a good job and we had a good time.” Gold, silver and bronze medals were presented to the top three male and female athletes in each event. “Everyone was a winner today!” said McCorkle. “I modeled the games after the Mini-Olympics we do at Baker during the school year and I modified this event to the skill level of the students in the summer program. It was a very special day for everyone involved.” For Johan Sanchez, competing in the Mini-Olympics and earning medals made for a great birthday gift. “Today
is my 10th birthday and this was a fun way to celebrate my birthday.” A celebration of perseverance, discipline, teamwork and skill, all the participants were recognized for their effort, sportsmanship and athleticism. “It’s so exciting to be a part of the first annual Extended School Year Summer Mini-Olympics,” said Glenda Giron, summer school co-administrator. “I want to thank the teachers and support staff for helping all of our students prepare for the games and congratulations to all of our Mini-Olympians – you all did an outstanding job.”

As a result of the numerous detectives who assisted in the investigation, investigators quickly identified the suspects responsible for this crime and located them in Mexico. The initial suspect, Ricardo Fuentes, was taken into custody the day after the firebombing and is being held with no bail for multiple counts of murder. Sheriff’s Homicide investigators Monday announced the arrests of the remaining three suspects in this case. Detectives developed information that the suspects were hiding out in Mexico. The reward money offered played a big role in locating the suspects, although LASD would not disclose how they gained specific suspect location in-

Through the coordinated efforts of agents from the United States Marshal’s Pacific Southwest Regional Fugitive Task Force and members of the Mexican State Police – Jalisco, the three suspects were taken into custody in Mexico without incident.

El Monte’s Civil Defense Program – What Is It For? by nick kipley What is meant by “outsourcing,” as explained on page 81 of the El Monte Financial Sustainability Plan? “Cities have always relied upon the private sector to deliver some services. Starting in the 1970s wholesale contracting for services such as refuse collection became commonplace. The concept caught on widely in the 1980s and 1990s as did a hybrid approach called management competition or competition sourcing (public and private service providers compete to discover
the best value proposition.)” The Plan states the above point as an expansion upon the idea that “El Monte has already outsourced many services to achieve cost savings including street light maintenance, traffic signal maintenance, some tree trimming, and most of the professional planning, building, and engineering services provided by the Economic Development and Public Works departments.” And as though this weren’t enough to make the jobs of certain City Executives look
like those of highly-paid facilitators whose only real work is finding the right company to outsource a service, it adds: “[El Monte] contracts with … a private firm for city attorney services.” However, in El Monte’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, published June 30, 2014, it says that the city overspent $46,987 of its $1,980,000 allocated budget funding the City Attorney last year. This means that—despite allegedly saving money by contracting
one and group meetings with park owners, managers and residents at their request to address community concerns. The ordinance authorizes annual rent increases limited to the percentage increase in the consumer price index (CPI) for the Los Angeles-Anaheim-Riverside area over the applicable year. Mobile home park owners will be allowed to petition for rent increases under a fair return standard, which assures that rent increases
adequately cover any operating cost increases. Under the new ordinance, all mobile home parks will provide annual registration statements to the City. This registration data will enable the City to monitor rental trends in City mobile home parks and allow the City to better anticipate other regulatory options for the unique issues surrounding the preservation of housing at mobile home parks. The ordinance also prohibits mobile home park
owner retaliation against mobile home owners or tenants for exercising rights under the ordnance. It also prescribes penalties for excessive rents and enables the City Council to institute a civil action to compel compliance with its mobile home rent regulations. The ordinance is derived from a comprehensive study conducted concerning mobile home park housing issues and policy options in the San Gabriel Valley, including the City of El Monte.
Ordinance Modifies El Monte’s Existing Stabilization System Continued from page 1
with outside council—El Monte still spent over two million dollars on an inhouse service. “A common theme from interviews and focus groups was that El Monte should have fewer contractors and more in-house employees,” the Financial Stability Plan points out. While digging through the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, and considering how El Monte recently just outsourced its Air Patrol services to the LA County Sheriff’s department, an item in the Police Department’s annual budget suddenly looked very out of place. Civil Defense. El Monte has outsourced its Civil Defense department to a third party contractor for $12,000 a year. Upon calling City Hall, I was connected to several different departments but none of them seemed to know anything about Civil Defense. Upon calling the EMPD, I was transferred to the City Attorney’s office and put on hold—which is kind of poetic in a way. For those unfamiliar with fearing thermonuclear war with the Soviets: during the early scary years of
the Cold War when women (presumably in poodleskirts) were cheerily canning food for the apocalypse, while their men thought about buying a car with fins, Civil Defense was very briefly a big thing. Leftover from World War II, CD made (in) famous propaganda videos like the one where the cartoon turtle—Bert—teaches children that the flimsy plywood of their school desks would shield them from a fourteen-mile wide fireball the temperature of the sun. Civil Defense also said that if you smear your body in Vaseline it will protect you from the dangers of radiation—which in the 1950s must’ve sounded incredibly scientific, but today sounds like that oatmeal-sockchickenpox-remedy you may remember from being a kid. Plus, one would think that being covered in Vaseline would help the radioactive dust falling from the sky adhere to your skin. Needless to say, Burt the Turtle’s advice thankfully never had to be heeded. (And for those who don’t know how this one ended, it’s happy: to this day, Planet Earth is still not a lifeless, radioactive cinder.) After September 11,

Civil Defense was absorbed into the newly-formed Department of Homeland Security. Technically speaking, the threat isn’t there anymore. All that said, three questions come to mind: Which private firm could El Monte possibly contract who knows more about the dangers of catastrophic war with the Red Aggressors than Bert the Turtle? Since Homeland Security’s only job seems to be tapping people’s phones and releasing scary stories to the media about thwarted terrorist plots that almost happened, what does El Monte gain by spending $12,000, given those two things are already provided free by the DHS to begin with? If – God forbid - there was a horrible catastrophe in which many lives could be potentially lost and many people needed help, isn’t that what police and firefighters quite literally live to do? And after waiting six minutes for the City Attorney to pick up the phone and stop the classical music streaming from the earpiece, I had no choice but to hang up.

City Intends to Terminate Agreement Effective August 8, 2015 Continued from page 1

safety of the festival. He explained that the city was obligated by the contract to give L.A. Partyworks formal notice of its concerns. That notice reads in part: “In conformance with the provisions of Section 14, this notice has been prepared to provide LA PartyWorks with requisite advanced notification that the City intends to terminate the Agreement effective August 8, 2015. The selected Agreement termination date provides LA PartyWorks with a reasonable time to cure performance deficiencies identified by the City. Furthermore, the City is requesting that the operational issues at the Event as outlined below be addressed by the correspondingly identified date.” The notice went on to list all the conditions with which L.A. Partyworks was not in compliance with contractual obligations and set out an exact time line for compliance. The letter also reminded the company that it had not accepted the city’s offer to assist it with training. Many people, including the principals, would not go “on the record” for this article, citing contractual/legal issues. However, it seems there is considerable disapproval with LA Partyworks’ initial events. One old town merchant, Lisa Magno-Marino, owner of assisted living facility Leven Oaks, said that she heard many of the other merchants complaining about specific problems - to wit, that employees of the new manager of the event were rude to merchants and had been argumentative with not only various vendors, but also with representatives of the city, including the city manager. She said while she has not attended the fair herself, she had heard from other merchants that the large trucks that had previously blocked traffic at both ends of the festival had been replaced with portable metal fencing. She expressed concern that these light-weight barricades would not prevent a “Santa Monica-like” disaster (It was at a farmer’s market in Santa Monica that a driver barreled through the event, killing ten and severely injuring 63 people in 2003). Chi declined the opportunity to refute the allegation that employees of L.A. Partyworks had been rude, but did indicate that the issue of the street fair would be on the August 4 city council agenda. He said he had placed this on the agenda as a result of the company’s continued failure to comply

with the city’s requests in a timely manner. We contacted former Mayor and now School Board Member Rob Hammond for comment as he was one of the founders of the Monrovia Family Festival in the early 1990s. “When we started the Festival there was a basic ‘non-compete’ agreement,” meaning that the festival was to energize the area on Myrtle on a Friday evening and not hurt the merchants who are trying to do businesses 365 days a year. Hammond added, “The ‘new’ show has a proliferation of competitors/ outside vendors including a brick-oven pizza …There are many excellent pizza places on Myrtle.” Finally Hammond posed the question: “Is the Family Festival for the betterment of Monrovians and the merchants on Myrtle, or the outside vendors?” In closing, Hammond said, “It was a mistake to render a decision based on the selection committee’s recommendation especially when this company has NEVER run a street festival before ... anywhere.” Here’s the letter sent to LA Partyworks: “Notice of Intent to Terminate the Exclusive Franchise Agreement for the Production of the Friday Night Family Street Fair “Dear Mr. Nemetz, “Pursuant to Section 14 of the Exclusive Franchise Agreement (Agreement) between the City of Monrovia (City) and Los Angeles PartyWorks, Inc. (LA PartyWorks) for the production of the Friday Night Family Street Fair (Event), please accept this correspondence as an official notice of intent to terminate the Agreement. “In conformance with the provisions of Section 14, this notice has been prepared to provide LA PartyWorks with requisite advanced notification that the City intends to terminate the Agreement effective August 8, 2015. The selected Agreement termination date provides LA PartyWorks with a reasonable time to cure performance deficiencies identified by the City.
“Furthermore, the City is requesting that the operational issues at the Event as outlined below be addressed by the correspondingly identified date. “By Friday, July 24, 2015 -Implement an improved traffic safety program to ensure that vehicular–pedestrian conflicts do not occur at the Event -Improve event set-up and take-down procedures, paying particular attention to traffic safety issues -Provide adequate and trained staff to coordinate the set-up, management, and take-down of the Event -Provide the City with information regarding the licensed and bonded security guard company providing security services for the Event -Implement a program to improve trash collection services for the proper removal and disposal of trash generated by the Event -Provide the equipment necessary to provide all Event vendors with reliable electrical power -Correct any Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) deficiencies currently associated with the production of the Event -Cease operations of the LA PartyWorks kettle corn both, which is being operated in violation of the Agreement -Cease the prohibition on Event vendors from selling drinks, including soda and water -Cease operations of the LA PartyWorks drink booths, which is being operated in violation of the Agreement -Allow Jake’s Roadhouse to set-up and operate the Jake’s BBQ and Jake’s Kettle Corn booths in a similar location to where they operated prior to LA PartyWorks taking over production of the Event -Present a plan for the City’s consideration to improve seating areas, both in terms of quantity and quality, at the Event -Present a plan for the City’s consideration to improve the lighting at the Event after sunset SEE NEXT PAGE

Please feel free to let me know if you should have any questions – I can be reached via email at ochi@ ci.monrovia.ca.us, or via cell phone at (310) 663-9837. “Best regards, “Oliver Chi, City Manager.” The following are the above mentioned concerns of
Monrovia resident Kurt Anderson, who presented this list to city council: 1. Information regarding vendor and event information on Partyworks website promised by July 1 still not available. 2. Public Works staff is setting out City traffic signage. 3. Public Works Edison service is being used to supply event electric power in the 500, 600 and 700 blocks of S. Myrtle. 4. Public Works 220 KW generator and attendant staff is being used to supply electric power in the 800 S. Myrtle block. 5. This is equipment and staff that Partyworks represented themselves as having. How are we being paid for the use of these services? In the event of an Edison power failure is the City responsible for replacement power supply? In the event of a generator malfunction resulting in equipment damage or human injury, is the City responsible? Partyworks has been closing Myrtle well in advance of posted 4:00 time, disrupting established delivery times and schedules. 6. Street closure has been poorly performed. Open and unattended barricades observed at Lemon and Colorado intersections. There is no physical barrier in place at Lemon to prevent a Santa Monica type of tragedy. Parking on Colorado looks chaotic and unorganized. There is no clear definition that the parking is for vendor vehicles and why are they being parked outside the window views of the Monrovian and Rudy’s restaurants anyway? Cars were still moving on the Street at 5:30 last Friday. 7. ADA requirements were not met at S/E sidewalk aprons at Olive/Myrtle intersection. -----Blocked by Popcorn and Info booths. 8. We now have porta-potty outhouse toilets and dirty sinks instead of the highquality restroom trailer previously in use. 9. Why is Jake’s Roadhouse not being allowed to sell from the location that they have

had? More to the point, why is this spot now being occupied by an outside vendor selling popcorn in spite of the contract prohibiting activities in direct conflict with local businesses? Why was the Partyworks owner harassing the Jake’s food booth staff about their booth configuration last Friday? And why didn’t he identify himself to them? 10. At the end of the evening at 10:00 I watched a situation that causes me the greatest amount of concern. Two vendor vehicles were entering the Colorado/ Myrtle intersection with no staff supervision. Due to the number of people and booths in that area the first vehicle could not proceed and started to back up. This was a van with limited rear vision. At this time a group of 4 or 5 Partyworks staff approached and were continuing unconcerned through the intersection until I stopped them and advised them that they had an extremely dangerous situation at hand. The response from one of them was, “Don’t worry; the vendors know what they’re doing.” This statement came from an individual approximately 16 to 17 years old. What do we think his experience is at this type of activity? This level of management and supervision is a recipe for disaster and it can only be a matter of time before someone is hurt or killed. 11. If Partyworks is going to staff this event with people mostly under 18 (as a casual observation) would indicate has the company owner obtained school-issued work permits for each applicable individual as required by California labor laws? For that matter, are the rest of his permits and liability insurance requirements being met? Has his liability carrier visited the site and approved what they are insuring? 12. The Friday Night Street Fair has an unblemished 23-year safety record and my first concern is that it remains that way, but there are obviously many other issues needing attention.

iD Tech Summer Camps Ignite Passion for STEM Learning by MAY S. RUIZ photos by trevor stamp

Two Local Teenagers Assist in Climate Change Field Study in French Pyrenees BY JOYCE PENG
Just what can a 13-yearold kid possibly accomplish in five days? Something pretty awesome, it turns out. Rana Lulla, who is 13 years old, produced an RPG (Role Playing Game) during the five days that he attended iD Tech Summer Camps using Java coding. A rising 8th grade student at the American School of Bombay in India, Rana is the quintessential brainiac – exceptionally articulate about computer programming and given to well-thought out responses to questions about what he envisions for himself in the future. This is Rana’s second time at a tech summer camp; he attended a similar one a couple of years ago in Bombay. He enjoys coding and conversations with him turn high-tech quickly - with him saying he learned GUI (Graphic User Interfaces) and spouting terms like IF functions. He likes playing sandbox games Minecraft and Terraria and is super excited about creating a game he can play with his likeminded friends. Rana sees himself pursuing a degree and career as a coder - writing programs for and designing video games. Then there’s Amala
she is glad for the breaks when all the kids go outside to play sports. She also confesses that she is a really active person and is more of a performing artist – she likes acting and dancing. The early part of Amala’s summer was spent in Acting Camp at La Cañada High School; it culminated with a multithemed production where she sang in a group rendition of a song from Tarzan. Tyson Mak is another 11-year-old who goes to High Point Academy in Pasadena, where he will be in 6th grade come Fall. He is taking Introduction to Java Programming and Minecraft. He likes Minecraft Mods and after looking at what others have done, he decided to make one himself. And he
Russo, an 11-year old rising 6th grader at South Pasadena Middle School. A recent transplant from northern California, she is here to familiarize herself with computers and is taking Introduction to Scratch and Java Script. While she is non-techie, Amala nevertheless feels that it is important to learn computers because technology is all around us and isn’t going away any time soon. On her fourth day at iD Tech summer camp she has learned Adobe Photoshop, programming, and creating games. She says her teacher taught them how to make games using the cat Sprite, a CSS language method. Amala admits that sitting in front of computers can be tiring at times, so
did. But he couldn’t get it to work, so his mom sent him to iD Tech camp to learn Java programming. On his fourth day at camp he learned to add custom items like block and texture. For his final project, Tyson made a Commerce Mod as a more organized way to buy and sell things on Minecraft. He intends to put it on the Minecraft server, where players connect to play together remotely. Lest you think Tyson is all work and no play, he quickly points out that he actually is a sports enthusiast who enjoys playing basketball at school. He spent two weeks in Newport Beach for some fun time with his family and is going to surfing camp in two weeks. It’s his summer
vacation after all. At this iD Tech Summer Camp, which was held at Caltech, kids like Rana, Amala, and Tyson learn everything from Coding and App Development, Robotics, Game Design, 3D modeling, Digital Photography and Web Design, and Filmmaking. Classes are made up of seven weeklong sessions where students can enroll to develop their skill, or further explore subjects by taking multiple sessions of the same course. Each summer camp is made up of seven week-long sessions and classes are broken into clusters of eight students to one instructor, making for a personalized experience. The eight-hour classes are interspersed with breaks for outdoor activities to keep the kids from getting restless with so many hours of sitting in front of computers. All summer programs provide students with custom iD T-shirt, a USB drive, and bottled water. Camp attendees take home their portfolio or course activity file after presenting their final project at the end of their session. They also earn a diploma with their instructor’s insights. Instructors for the camps are chosen from the most prestigious universities. Prospective candidates go through an extensive selection process, background checks, and rigorous training. Not surprisingly, many of the instructors were themselves former iD Tech campers. According to its company brochures, there will be one million STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) jobs that are expected to be unfilled by 2020. iD Tech is helping close that gap with programs that teach students the skills they need to thrive in a techdriven world. It’s reassuring to know that kids like Rana, Amala, and Tyson are taking the first steps to gain the abilities and competence necessary to fill those jobs.
Monrovia resident Isabelle Panza could not believe how calm the French Pyrenees were. The lack of people in the small towns she passed by was apparent, because it contrasted with the bustling city of Los Angeles. The 17-year-old Arcadia High graduate was on a recent field research study in the French Pyrenees as part of the Duttenhaver Animal Conservation Field Study. Through the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association (GLAZA), the field study sends high school upperclassmen around the world to assist with field research with Earthwatch, an international research institute striving to create a more sustainable environment. Earthwatch is a respected institute that the zoo trusts in terms of its high quality of research work and safety, Genie Vasels, Vice President of Institutional Advancement for GLAZA, explained. Duttenhaver Conservation Field Study Program grant covered all travel and meal expenses. In previous years, students had studied wildlife and the environment in countries like Peru, Brazil, and East Africa. Only students who are enrolled in the North Hollywood High Magnet School, whose campus is adjacent to the LA Zoo, and GLAZA student volunteers, can qualify. Panza, six other students, and three LA Zoo mentors stayed at Aspet, France, from July 9-July 17. From there, they drove to the mountains for the field study. The group assisted the work of three Research Scientists affiliated with the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. Lead scientist Bernat Claramunt-Lopéz and biologists Irene Figueroa and Jana Marco are studying the effects of climate change on the French Pyrenees ecosystem for Earthwatch. “The researchers talked to us and wanted to know us as people,” Panza said. “They could have just told us what to do and then ignored us.” Not only were they friendly, the researchers were passionate about their research. “I am not the kind of person who would touch rodents or frogs, but being there with them and

the energy they have made me want to try everything,” 18-year-old Arcadia High School graduate Audrey Chen voiced. The student assisted on five main tasks for the study. First, they changed batteries and switched SD cards for camera traps used to capture animal movement. Second, they put bait for small mammal traps, and checked them twice a day. If a newly captured animal was caught, they tagged and measured their weight and identified their gender, before releasing them back into the forests. Third, students counted and measured seedlings and identified scats during forest plotting surveys on mountain slopes. Fourth, they identified and counted the flowers and the pollinator bumblebees along transect surveys in Alpine meadows. Lastly, small nest box birdhouses that were hung from tree branches in March were re-checked for animals. In addition, wildlife and signs of wildlife (scats, feathers, paw prints in mud) seen during the hikes to and from the study sites were identified. “They are very strict with their research, such as labeling the SD cards and putting them in specific boxes,” Panza explained. “It’s interesting because they seem so fun during the day but they are also serious about their work. Their intent is to not make a mistake.” From these researchers, mentor Neal Ward, graphics manager of the LA Zoo and Altadena resident, said he learned about the planning of the field study project. Claramunt and Earthwatch began working
on the project over a year before any field study work started. Ward, along with fellow mentors Andrew Lyell and Dorothy Belanger, assisted the researchers alongside the students and handled the trip’s business aspects. “It was a great trip,” Ward commented. “All of the students were engaged on the projects. They all volunteered for tasks that needed to be accomplished and no one shied away.” In addition to assisting, the students formed close relationships with the researchers. The two exchanged parts of their culture: the researchers taught the students Spanish and Catalan, and the students made them peanut butter jelly sandwiches. The students want to work with the researchers next year and have the researchers’ addresses to send them care packages. Chen, an Arcadia resident and incoming UC Berkeley applied mathematics major, said the trip changed who she was as a person. “I had to put myself out there and work with people that I didn’t know before,” she voiced. “I mainly got more independent and open to new things. The trip made me want to take classes in biology and environment in college.” The trip encouraged Panza to learn more languages and opened her eyes on the processes researchers go through during field studies. Panza will attend UC Santa Cruz majoring in environmental studies. “I know what I am setting myself up for,” Panza noted.

Monrovia City Notices ORDINANCE NO. 2015-04 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONROVIA, CALIFORNIA, UPDATING AND AMENDING CHAPTER 3.21 OF THE MONROVIA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE FIRE SERVICE IMPACT FEE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONROVIA HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Section 3.21.020 of Chapter 3.21 of the Monrovia Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows (text to be added is underlined, text to be deleted is shown in strikethrough): “§ 3.21.020 FINDINGS. (A) There is reasonable relationship between the new commercial, industrial and residential development to which this fee applies and service fee established and imposed by this chapter because it recovers only the cost of meeting new and additional service and facilities demands generated by the developments on which it the fee is imposed. (B) The purpose of the fee shall be to help fund the staffing and new capital and equipment needs of the Fire Department in order to meet service and facilities demands generated by the development projects in the City on which it the fee is imposed. (C) A strategic plan and capital improvement and equipment plan independent staffing study have been completed and updated as of July 1, 2015 which identify the needs to be generated by new development for at least the next five years. Said documents are on file in the Fire Department and incorporated into the legislative history of this Chapter by this reference. which is incorporated herein by this reference. (D) (1) New construction will increase demands for increased emergency response activity including fires, medical emergencies and other public service demands because of additional building area or increased occupant loading. Industrial buildings contain a higher than average amount of combustible fire loading, flammable liquids and hazardous materials which increases the fire hazard and risk. The new risks and demands for service create additional demand for Fire Department capital improvements and expenditures. (2) New buildings and additions in the hillside areas increase the risk of structure fires because of the exposure to brush vegetation, and also increase the risk of vegetation fires because of the added persons and building area in the very high fire hazard severity zone. Very large homes increase the service demand because of the added area that requires fire protection of contents and the building. New construction not protected by automatic fire sprinklers increases the risk of fire occurring and growing to a size that can overtax the Fire Department services. The impact fee will provide for new equipment , facilities increased staffing and apparatus in order to meet the service demands created by new development noted above. (E) Increased staffing and deployment of resources provides for quicker response to emergencies and the arrival of adequate resources to meet service demands. Additional staffed apparatus can respond to emergencies when other personnel are unavailable due to other assignments. (F) The fee amount shall be based upon an analysis of the cost of meeting facilities and equipment-related service demands reasonably expected to be generated by the new developments to which it applies.” Section 2. Section 3.21.040 of Chapter 3.21 is hereby amended to read as follows: “(A) The amount of the Fire Service Impact Fee shall be established from time to time by resolution approved by the City Council consistent with the procedural requirements of Government Code Section 66000, et seq. The Fire Department shall be responsible for the calculation of the fees required by this chapter. The calculation shall be made at the time of plan review. (B) The Building Division shall be responsible for collection of the fees required by this chapter from the calculations made by the Fire Department. (C) Any applicant for a permit to which the fees imposed by this Chapter applies shall pay the fees due at the time of final inspection or the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, whichever occurs first. Payment of fees shall be made by any builder prior to issuance of a building permit from the Building Division unless otherwise required by Cal. Gov't Code § 66007(a). (D) The Fire Service Impact Fee shall apply to all new construction except as exempted by this chapter. (E) If a development or new construction will be constructed in phases and separate building permits will be issued for each phase, fees imposed pursuant to this chapter may be made separately for each phase of the project so that the amount of the fees due shall paid upon issuance of a building permit will be limited only to the actual construction in each phase.” Section 3. Section 3.21.06 of Chapter 3.21 of the Monrovia Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows: “§ 3.21.060 APPEAL PROCESS. (A) Any person builder of any development project subject to the fees imposed by described in this chapter may apply in writing to the Development Review Committee for a reduction or adjustment to that fee, or a waiver of that fee, upon a showing that (1) the city has incorrectly calculated the fee owing, or (2) the fee lacks either nexus or proportionality to the service demand to be generated by the development project, or (3) the law otherwise requires the relief

sought. The application shall be made in writing and filed with the City Clerk not later than: (1) ten days prior to the public hearing on the development permit application for the project, or (2) if no development permit is required, ten days after the city informs the applicant builder of the amount of the fee applicable to the project. The application shall state in detail the factual basis for the claim of waiver, reduction or adjustment. (B) The Development Review Committee shall consider the application at the public hearing on the permit application or at a separate hearing held within 60 30 days after the filing of the fee adjustment application, whichever is earlier. The decision of the Development Review Committee may be appealed to the Planning Commission and City Council in the manner provided in §§ 2.56.050 and 17.52.310 of this code. The decision of the City Council shall be final. If a reduction, adjustment or waiver is granted, any change in use within the project shall invalidate the waiver, adjustment or reduction of the fee.” Section 4. Section 3.21.070 is hereby added to Chapter 3.21 of thee Monrovia Municipal Code, to read as follows: “§3.21.070. Expenditures and Accounting. The City shall expend revenue collected pursuant to this chapter only for the purposes, and within the time, permitted by this Chapter and Government Code Sections 66000, et seq. Revenue collected shall be separately accounted for and held pursuant to the requirements of Government Code Section 66006.” Section 5. The City Council ratifies and declares that the remaining provisions of Chapter 3.21 of the Monrovia Municipal Code shall remain in full force and effect. Section 6.

Attention is directed to the Federal minimum wage rate requirements in the books entitled “Proposal and Contract.” If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and the general prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the higher wage rate. The Department will not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations. This includes “helper” (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classification not appearing in the Federal wage determinations. Where Federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage rate determination otherwise available for use by the Contractor and subcontractors, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the Federal minimum wage rate, which most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question.

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.

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 this property. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be
LEGALS less than the total debt. 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.

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 (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site www. auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case 14-3480-11.

USA Bocce Team Performs Well at July 26’s Special Olympics World Games Competitions story by joyce peng Photos by matt rose The USA Bocce Team 1, consisting of older athletes Mary Davis, Sheryl Fairbanks, Nicole Landoskey and Kenneth Skinner, played Panama in the T2 division on July 26 at the LA Convention Center. U.S. lit up a fast start leading 3-0, but Panama took the lead 5-3 with four points in the third round. U.S. tied the game at five points and eventually won the game 10-5 with four points in the last round. Landoskey, 24, of South Carolina, started playing bocce when she was in high school and joined because she wanted to get out, have fun, and meet new friends. Her first time at the World Games, Landoskey said she felt great about her performance against Panama. Her teammate, Fairbanks, made a crucial shot in the match, knocking away Panama’s ball from the pallino, which led to U.S. points. 59-years-old Fairbanks has made other important shots, including a game-winning shot in the Special Olympics summer games at her home state Ohio. Her team was losing 3-2 when she earned

two points to bring her team in the lead 4-3, and because of the lead, her team won gold. In the Opening Ceremony, Fairbanks met First Lady Michelle Obama and received a big hug from her. “It’s fun and I love my team,” Fairbanks said about why she likes playing bocce. USA Team 1 beat Panama 9-4 on July 27 to win gold in the T2 division. Tiaunta Gray, 30, of Los Angeles, is in USA Team 2 for bocce. Her team did not get
to play on July 26 because its opponent, Costa Rica, did not show up. The next day,

the other 10-6. Playing bocce since 2004, Gray said the sport keeps her moving. Her team first met last October in Indianapolis for the World Games training camp. “I learned don’t throw my ball too fast, and take my time and concentrate,” Gray said on training camp lessons. Bocce was one of 25 sports of the Special Olympics World Games Los Angeles 2015, and one of five sports that took place in the LA Convention Center on July 26. Divisioning occurred for all five sports: roller skating, badminton, handball, bocce and table tennis. Divisioning is the process of grouping athletes and teams for com-
blared in the background to match with the fast speed of the roller skaters. In badminton, young and older athletes were called up to play against referees to determine their groupings, rallying back and forth as well as serving to referees. Judges were on hand taking notes of the performances. Denmark and Cote d’Ivore’s women’s handball teams played against each other for divisioning. It was a close game throughout, with both teams exchanging ties and leads. The Cote d’Ivore’s goalie blocked several shots from an advancing Denmark team. Her Denmark counterpart also saved key shots as well, including one that she saved with her feet. Den-
mark won the match, 3-2. The Opening Ceremony at the LA Memorial Coliseum was filled with amazing moments and inspiration speakers. David Egan of Virginia and a Sargent Shriver International Global Messenger spoke during the pre-show about how participating in Special Olympics as a swimmer helped him gain confidence to succeed, set goals, and change his life. Debbie Allen, director of the Ceremony, taught the audience the “Reach Up LA” dance. The Parade of Athletes was a main highlight of the Ceremony, starting with Greece and ending with United States. Jamaal Charles, the Kansas Chiefs’ running back, talked about his struggles with a learning disability as a child. After competing in Special Olympics at age 10, he discovered the talent he did not know he had and he gained confidence and courage. He then led the athletes in reciting the Special Olympics oath: “Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.” Stevie Wonder performed his song “Fear can’t put dreams to sleep,” and the First Lady stressed the theme of unity in her speech. Toward the end of the ceremony, the Flame of Hope arrived at the Coliseum. TOP: A Special Olympics athlete from Egypt throws a bocce ball during division placement trials.

deCroupet’s Cake Sisters By amelia favela deCroupet’s Cake Sisters is a cake specialty bakery that creates custom cupcakes, cakes and cookies for all occasions. Sisters Janine McRiley and Cheryl Marino established the bakery, located in Arcadia, in 1998 with the intentions of bringing elaborate cakes for affordable prices to the town. Referred to as a “hidden gem” on customer reviews, this bakery will not only take on any cake design, but also offers classes that teach customers how to decorate cakes on their own. For the home baker, deCroupet’s has almost every baking supply one could think of to bake, decorate and package his or her own cupcakes, cakes or cookies. The cake sisters, who were born and raised in California, have always enjoyed baking. With Marino graduating in Pastries from the Culinary Institute of America in New York,
Cheryl (left) Janine (right).
McRiley said she leaves all the baking to her sister. McRiley, on the other hand, has more of an artistic background and handles more of the decorating aspect. Together, the sisters create tasty artistic cakes that are suitable for any occasion. One of the biggest joys McRiley said they have is being a part of their cus-

tomers’ special moments. “A lot of customers have had a custom cake made as a child and have continued to come to us for special occasion cakes ever since....,” McRiley said. “We’ve made many of the same customers’ birthday, bridal shower, wedding and baby shower cakes.” Everything at deCroupet’s is custom-made for the order. Another exciting part to the cake sisters’ job is hosting decorating classes. The classes include Beginning Cake decorating, Cupcake Decorating, Intermediate Cake Decorating, Fondant Cake and free cookie demonstrations. The sisters demonstrate and teach participants about filing cakes, icing cakes, borders, decorative writing, drop flowers and roses, and much more. These classes are exciting and fun for anyone who loves to decorate and be creative. deCroupet’s is the home baker’s dream. Rather than being limited to the basic baking supplies found at most places, this bakery has the hard-tofind items that remove all baking limitations. Items include over 150 decorating tips, pastry bags (all sizes), palet knives (all sizes), icing colors, glucose, merienge powder, geometric, tart and character pans, masonite boards, dollies, boxes, plates and pillars, gum paste flowers and cutters, petal dust, parchment papers and candles (all colors and characters). One of the challenges McRiley said they face is people’s misunderstanding of the work that goes into creating a cake. “Many cakes online don’t list the price, so a lot of customers come-in with a picture they found on the web expecting to pay half the price of what it really cost to make it,” she said. Being that the cake
sisters strive to please all customers, they do everything they can to create elaborate looking cakes at affordable prices. The owners said they hope for deCroupet’s to continue to serve as San Gabriel Valley’s one-stopshop for everything cake related. You can contact deCroupet’s at (626) 4466903, or visit them at 23 E.
