California Water Use Drops 27.3 Percent, Exceeds 25 Percent Mandate for June

San Gabriel Valley Water Company Reduced Water Use by 35% in June

Duarte Council Revokes Massage Therapist's Business License by joe taglieri

By terry miller What Speaker of the House John Boehner failed to realize a couple of weeks ago when he attacked Arcadia for its water conservation efforts was that in California, we care about conservation. In mid-June we shared with our readers a photo depicting Arcadia’s efforts to reduce water usage. Here’s what Speaker John Boehner posted on his Facebook page: “If ever there was a phrase that perfectly encapsulates liberal environmentalists’ backwards priorities and regressive ideology of restriction and scarcity, it is the one now displayed on a government sign in Arcadia, California: ‘It’s ‘green’ to go brown.’” Arcadia’s illustrious city manager, Dominic Lazaretto, had this marvelous quip to the Speaker’s absurd remarks: “If the Speaker would like to send Arcadia the 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.” Arcadia’s Mayor, Gary Kovacic, added this comment: “If the Speaker’s perpetual golf game ever brings him to Santa Anita Golf Course, perhaps he will understand the true facts about our drought and Arcadia’s tremendous efforts to conserve.” SEE PG. 14

The Duarte City Council on Tuesday upheld the revocation of a massage therapist and holistic wellness practitioner's business license. Finance Director Kristin Petersen revoked Roxana Ponce de Leon's license after a sting operation on April 21 involving undercover code enforcement staff found that she was providing massage services at her Huntington Drive workplace. Ponce de Leon's license

permitted her to sell retail products and provide nutrition and weight-loss counseling at her business, Bellagio Fountain of Youth Wellness Center. "This license is revoked ... for performing massage without proper permits or licenses to perform massage and ... for knowingly misrepresenting to the City that the business would only be pro-

Send your letters to tmiller@beaconmedianews.com Janis is Too Loud! Dear Editor: I went to the Janis Joplin performance last Thursday night and had very good seats in row G. After the first opening number, I knew I was in trouble with the volume of the sound. I sure would have liked to have brought my ear plugs with me. I believe the performance was put into a venue (the Pasadena Playhouse) that should not have been a suitable location because of the sound effects. At the intermission I did not come back for the second addition. My head was pounding with the sound effects I had just come from - and I wasn’t going to treat my hearing with another dose of the loud music. The performers were excellent in what they performed, but it needed to be in another venue. I guess the air conditioning wasn’t working very well either because I was sweating from just sitting and watching the performance. The article written by Nathaniel Cayanan didn’t mention the volume of the decibels in the Playhouse. Maybe he didn’t hear it or maybe he brought his ear plugs and forgot to tell

the public in the article he wrote in the Pasadena Independent. -Richard Luczyski PASADENA Monrovia Merchant Thanks Beacon Media Business Reporter

Dear Editor: Hunting Bad, Wild Good Maybe something good will come out of the killing of the lion in Africa such as awareness of the absolutely unnecessary destruction of wild animals such as the big beautiful cats and elephants also. (China wants ivory to sell for some irresponsible reason.) And tigers, lions, panthers, cougars, and wolves all belong in the wild. They deserve to live without being harassed and killed. A hunter was quoted on TV as saying something like “Just because we kill them doesn’t mean we don’t respect them.” This makes absolutely no sense! To respect a living animal is to let them live peacefully and not harm them. To deliberately hunt down and kill an animal that has done you no harm is unconscionable! In my opinion hunting is not a “sport.” The genius Albert Schweitzer said it best: “Reverence for life.” -C. Jensen TEMPLE CITY

Ryan’s Story - One Veteran, One Cat, Two Hearts As part of our continuing desire to focus on those in our community who care for unwanted animals, we are highlighting here the work that animal rescue organizations and individuals do in helping homeless pets find homes. Making a difference, one pet at a time . . . At first, it was just another message in the bar-

rage of emails we receive daily, mostly asking if we can take someone’s cats or dogs for rehoming. All sad, many urgent. But this one was different, and grabbed at us: Ryanʼs mother, in New York, wrote of her disabled soldier son, Ryan, who is back from his tours of duty in the Middle East.

He has PTSD, and is in a veteran’s housing facility in southern California. The facility would let him keep his beloved service dog, but he was not allowed to keep his precious tabby cat, George, and the thought of losing George was extremely upsetting to Ryan. His mother had sent out a plea to several rescue

organizations, hoping one could keep George on a temporary basis until Ryan gets back on his feet and out of veteran housing. Although Lifeline for Pets is at maximum, and daily having to turn down requests to take cats, we felt that we had to do something. Lifelineʼs president, Kathy Hart, wrote back,

Douglass & Zook

asking for more information. Ryan sent pictures and responded: “He’s a good cat and it breaks my heart in two that I can’t keep him. I need help finding a good home for George. He deserves a good home. I can’t live with myself if there is even a chance he will be put down. I don’t know what to do to secure him a quality loving home. He is three years old … and … has always been a strictly indoor cat. If you need anything else please let me know. It is costing me 12 dollars a day to board him and I canʼt afford that much longer.” We could feel Ryanʼs pain. Here was this soldier, fragile with PTSD, who had served our country well, now suffering from the thought of losing George. We animal lovers are well aware of the bond we have with our pets, and what they give to us in return for our love and care. They are like our children. At Ryanʼs heartfelt message, Lifeline went into action, doing two major email blasts and posting on Facebook. We had two sources of help: One was that many kind folks sent money to help Ryan afford boarding and any needed expenses for George. Secondly, one of Lifelineʼs supporters, Bren-

da, who has adopted from us in the past, stepped up! She offered to foster George as long as necessary, and said Ryan may have carte blanche in visiting him! Kathy Hart arranged everything. She drove Ryan, his dog, “JJ”, and George to Brendaʼs house. Ryan is rather shy, very humble-and Brenda is a wonderful, welcoming purrson. She gave Ryan a key and said he could come visit George anytime! We did all we could to make a smooth transfer so as not to shock or overwhelm Ryan, and he and his mother are SO very grateful for everyone’s kindness. As for George? He is doing well and getting along with his two young female housemates that Brenda had adopted from Lifeline. We wish them all well, and we again thank Ryan for his service. We hope that someday no veteran will have to face the loss of a pet because of lack of finances and proper housing. Lifeline is so glad to have helped. There are so many sad requests coming in daily, and we wish we could do more; yet, as this article’s introduction says, “We are making a difference, one pet at a time.”

LA Supervisors Favor Diversion Plans Over Jail Construction

Los Angeles County Fire Department Continues County-Wide Burn Suspension

In an ongoing effort to prevent wildfires, all burn permits in Los Angeles County remain suspended. The Los Angeles County Fire Department ceased issuing burn permits and allowing open fires as of July 1 due to increased fire activity and record-setting drought conditions. The burn suspension will remain in effect until enough precipitation is received to mitigate the fire threat. During this critical time, the Fire Department urges all residents to do their part to be fire safe and to make sure they have prepared an emergency plan in case a fire threatens their home or family. Nearly 95 percent of all wildland fires within the Fire Department’s jurisdiction are human-caused. Here are some tips all citizens can follow to prevent fires: • Complete defensible space clearing such as mowing before 10 a.m.— and never on a hot and windy day. • Don’t toss cigarettes out the car window.

• Don’t pull your vehicle off the road into dry grass or brush. Hot exhaust pipes and mufflers can start fires that can’t easily be seen by the driver. • In wildland areas, spark arresters are required on all portable gasoline-powered equipment. This includes tractors, chainsaws, weed-whackers, mowers, motorcycles and

all-terrain vehicles. • Report any suspicious activity. • Check with local officials for additional fire restrictions. Campfires within organized campgrounds or on private property are allowed as long as they are in a designated campfire site that prevents fire from spreading.

According to industry experts, there are several physical problems that will come under scrutiny during inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with,

any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable preinspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into

costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To order a FREE Special Report, call toll-free 1-888-300-4632 and enter 1003. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn’t cost you the sale of your home.

about diversion have been underdeveloped, until now. Now we are beginning to talk about diversion with more clarity, and that’s a good thing,” said Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas. For many community members and opponents to imprisonment, this discussion on alternatives and diversion is long overdue. “This is an opportunity for Los Angeles to set a precedent for the rest of the country. Implement comprehensive diversion and reduction programs, and create alternatives to bail,” said Shabina Toowara of Critical Resistance Los Angeles during public comment. “Tear down men’s central and do not replace it. Cancel the proposal for the women’s jail. Do your job and represent the community that stands before you today.” The Board of Supervisors suspended making any decisions on the jail plan until next Tuesday. Dozens of community members are prepared to again mobilize against jail construction, and to raise the urgency for healthcare and community investments outside of jail settings.

“Breaking the Silence: Civil and Human Rights Violations resulting from Medical Neglect and Abuse of Women of Color in Los Angeles County Jails.” A report presented at Tuesday’s meeting by Health Management Associates (HMA) and Pulitzer/ Bogard Associates, LLC was met with strong resistance and scrutiny by community members and supervisors alike. The report projected that the jail population would increase along with the general population, but contained many statistical errors and failed to take into account mental health diversion and program credits. “Will the numbers of [men] projected to be imprisoned at Men’s Central decrease if we invest in community health alternatives?” Supervisor Sheila Kuhl asked to the representative of HMA, who could not answer the question. Due to the persistence of community demands for diversion programs, many are beginning to view more jails with deep skepticism. “The emphasis on jail construction and modernization has been overdeveloped, and discussions

Following a 45-day suspension of jail construction plans, the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors is divided on whether to move forward with a controversial $2.3 billion county jail plan. Community members and organizations voiced unified opposition to any further jail construction at the Supervisors’ meeting yesterday, citing the need to implement mental health diversion and invest in further community-based alternatives to imprisonment. District Attorney Lacey’s Mental Health Diversion plan reflected the common sense that community members have been consistently voicing to decision makers consistently in their opposition to jail expansion in LA: “The jail environment is not conducive to the treatment of mental illness.” “Diverting people with mental health conditions to community-based mental health care programs and increasing the availability of these resources are systematic ways to phase out our reliance on jails,” said Mark-Anthony Johnson of Dignity and Power Now (DPN).

Beckham Grill is History; Feral ‘Tenants’ Left As California Ages, Homeless; Local Resident Steps in to Help Will There Be Enough By Terry Miller Beds and Services?

Beckham Grill, a Pasadena landmark for nearly 40 years, closed last weekend to relatively little fanfare - and a colony of roughly one dozen feral cats, which called Beckham Grill and the surrounding lot home, were left essentially "homeless." Enter Leah Snell, a local resident who saw the need and learned about the Pasadena Humane Society's Trap-Neuter-Return program aimed at reducing the number of feral cats. Saying that overpopulation is a big problem is an understatement. Leah contacted the Hu-

mane Society in an effort to neuter and relocate the cats to a safer area (the site of the Beckham Grill is to be demolished to make way for residential space). TNR (Trapping, neutering, and releasing) is one of the best ways possible to control feral cat population in cities around the world. TNR is the humane and effective approach for stray and feral cats. Now in practice for decades in the US after being proven in Europe, scientific studies show that TNR improves the lives of feral cats, improves their relationships with the people who live near them, and deFamily Owned & Operated Since 1992

creases the size of colonies over time. TNR is successfully practiced in hundreds of communities and in every landscape and setting. It is exactly what it sounds like: cats are humanely trapped and taken to a veterinarian to be neutered/spayed and vaccinated. After recovery, the cats are returned to their home—their colony— outdoors. Kittens and cats that are friendly and socialized to people may be adopted into homes. According to Alley Cat Allies, TNR stops the breeding cycle of cats and therefore improves their lives while preventing reproduction. It is a fact that the removal and killing of outdoor cats that animal control has been pursuing for decades is never ending and futile. Since feral cats are usually not adoptable, they are killed in pounds and shelters. With a successful program like TNR to turn to, it’s hard to believe that animal control agencies continue to kill cats, even though that approach has shown zero

results. Finally, TNR is an idea whose time has come. It recognizes there is a new balance in our urban and rural landscape, one that includes feral cats. It seeks to manage this new population with enlightened techniques that allow the cats to live out their lives and fulfill their natures, while minimizing any possible negative impact. TNR is a movement that will continue to grow as more and more caring people see its potential and, in time, it will become the predominant method of feral cat management.

New Reports Explore Health Service Capacity

With the aging of the baby boomer generation and gains in life expectancy, California's senior population is projected to more than double by 2040. Because seniors use more health care services than other age groups, there are concerns about the capacity of the health care system to accommodate their needs. Two new publications from CHCF's California Health Care Almanac examine supply and demand from different perspectives. Below are highlights from each report. Beds for Boomers: Will California's Supply of Services Meet Senior Demand? focuses on the projected need for services. Nearly two-thirds of California seniors had two or more chronic conditions in 2012. Californians over age 65 use acute care hospital days at rates up to four times more than younger people. However, since 2008, acute care days used by seniors have declined despite growth in this population. Acute care days are projected to increase by nearly 50% by 2040 if current usage remains steady. Overall, California's 2013 supply of licensed acute care beds is sufficient to meet this projected demand. California Hospitals: An Evolving Environment focuses on the existing sup-

ply of various types of beds in general acute care hospitals. Skilled nursing and acute psychiatric beds declined significantly from 2004 to 2013, while both adult and newborn intensive care beds increased. During that decade, the number of general acute care hospitals fell by 4% while the number of beds remained largely unchanged. The eight largest hospital systems accounted for 40% of hospitals and beds in California. California hospitals performed slightly below the US average on eight patient satisfaction measures. Note that the statistics between the two reports may differ due to the sets of hospitals covered. These reports are published as part of the CHCF California Health Care Almanac, an online clearinghouse for key data and analysis examining California's health care marketplace.

PASADENA July 7 Brendon Melton, a local Pasadena transient, assaulted his girlfriend at the Fillmore Gold Line Station when he grabbed her by the hair and threw her to the ground. Melton continued his violent assault on the victim for several minutes. The victim suffered a broken wrist and other injuries as a result. The case was assigned to police detectives and a wanted flyer for Melton was distributed. On August 4, (Less than five hours after the distribution of the flyer), Melton was recognized by Pasadena Police Officer Mary Hooker while she and Sergeant Beene were speaking to a group of homeless individuals at Fair Oaks Avenue and Pico Street. Melton was arrested without incident and booked in the city jail. August 2 At about 1:30 p.m., Pasadena Police officers responded to the 40 Block of Orange Grove Boulevard regarding an armed robbery investigation. On arrival, officers discovered that the suspects, two adult male Hispanics, attempted to rob a local business at gunpoint. The suspects pointed their firearm at the store clerks and threatened to shoot them during the robbery. Fearing for their safety, the victims escaped out of the back door of the store. As the suspects left the location, they fired one shot. No one was injured in the robbery. Anyone with information about this incident should call the Pasadena a Police Department at, (626) 744-4241. August 7 At about 7:24 p.m., Special Enforcement Section (SES) Officers Montiglio, Weiker, and Cordova were on routine patrol in the area of Sunset Avenue and Washington Boulevard when they observed a motorist commit a traffic violation. The officers initiated a traffic stop, contacted the driver, and detected a strong odor of marijuana emitting from the interior of the vehicle. As the officers continued their field investigation they determined the driver, Alberto Esparza, male Hispanic, 19 years, was on active parole. After developing sufficient probable cause, the officers searched the vehicle and discovered a loaded .357 magnum revolver along with reloading devices. The suspect was arrested without incident and booked at the Pasadena jail. Outstanding proactive po-

lice work and as a result, the officers removed another firearm from our community.

August 8 At about 9:14 p.m. Pasadena Police Officers Tavera and Orosco were on routine patrol in a marked police car near Madison and Orange Grove Blvd, when they received a stolen vehicle alert. The officers quickly observed the source (car) of the alert, which was a reported stolen vehicle. Officers Tavera and Orosco initiated a traffic stop and the suspects were taken into custody without incident. The suspects, (Javier Olivarez, Hispanic male, 40s, Long Beach Resident and Meghan Gray, White female, 28, Long Beach Resident) were arrested without incident. Both suspects were parolees at large.

Cal Fire Makes Arson Arrest in Lake County

On Aug. 9, 2015, at approximately 7:30 p.m., Cal Fire Law Enforcement Officers arrested Juan Ramos Silva, 49, of Lower Lake, for one count of arson and allegedly starting a backfire. Silva was booked into Lake County Jail on suspicion of violating Penal Code Section 452(c), unlawfully causing a fire to forest land, and Public Resource Code Section 4426, a person shall not set a backfire, or cause a backfire to be set, except under the direct supervision or permission of a state or federal forest officer.

“This is the fifth arrest our officers have made in just the past two weeks,” said Chief Ken Pimlott, Cal Fire Director. “Especially now with the dry conditions from the drought, we will absolutely not tolerate arson of any type and will track down those suspected of causing harm to our communities.” The fire that Silva allegedly set was not related to the cause of the Jerusalem Fire or the Rocky Fire. The investigation into the origin and cause of both the Rocky Fire and Jerusalem Fire are ongoing, as investigators

continue to work to determine a cause. Residents should be vigilant in their preparedness and aware of suspicious persons when a fire does start. Suspicious activity should be reported including the time, individual’s physical description, and a vehicle description, including the license plate number. Always contact law enforcement, never approach a suspicious person. Anyone with information about arson is urged to contact the CAL FIRE Arson Hotline at 1-800-468-4408. Callers can remain anonymous.

A former fourth grade teacher at Rosewood Elementary School in Los Angeles pleaded no contest to one count of child abuse for placing a plastic bag over a student’s head in class, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. Thelmo Garcia, 37, was ordered to attend weekly psychiatric counseling for an undetermined amount of time and to complete 100 days of

CalTrans work. In addition, he must complete 52 weeks of child abuse counseling and he is barred from teaching minors under 18 while on probation for five years in case BA434476. Deputy District Attorney Samuel Hulefeld with the Family Violence Division, who prosecuted the case, said if Garcia successfully completes all of the required terms and conditions, his felony convic-

tion will be reduced to a misdemeanor when he returns for sentencing in two years. Garcia admitted placing a plastic bag over a 10-year-old girl’s head during class ona Feb. 5. After several seconds, he removed the bag. The child was uninjured. If Garcia fails to comply with the conditions, he faces up to six years in state prison. The case was investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department.

It Was 50 Years Ago Today: The Beatles Met Elvis - Ivor Davis Was There By Terry Miller

Several months back I received a book from publicist Kathleen Kaiser. The nonfiction piece written by British author Ivor Davis immediately grabbed my attention. Aside from being a huge Beatles fan (who isn’t?), the author’s name rang a familiar bell in this reporter’s somewhat aging memory bank. I seem to recall my late father, Henry Miller, talking fondly of a colleague in the business, one Ivor Davis. Could it be the same bloke? A British journalist writing about my favorite band of all time, the Beatles? I contacted the publicist, who in turn contacted Ivor, and within a few minutes I was on the ‘phone to one of my dad’s journalist friends from back in the 1960s. Neither of us could believe after all these years that a simple email could bring back so many incredible memories. Ivor Davis worked for the Daily Express and my dad for The Daily Telegraph, London. Both were transferred as foreign correspondents for their skills at their respective newspapers. Ivor arrived in 1964, literally with the Beatles and my dad (and his family, including me) arrived the

following year in New York, 1965 on The Queen Mary. The two young journalists from Fleet Street were assigned to many big stories in the 1960s including Patty Hearst; the Charles Manson trial; Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King’s assassinations; among many others. The two men got to know each other well over the years and became fast friends. But for Ivor Davis, his biggest story of all time was his tour with the Beatles in 1964 – the thesis for his new book: The Beatles and Me On Tour. Ivor’s publicist immediately sent me a copy of the book and within two days I was reading perhaps one of the most personal and poignant books I had ever read on the Fab Four. It sounds trite, but I really couldn’t put the book down. Ivor’s sense of humor comes through with a colorful cast of characters, brilliant wit and insight as he unlocks his proverbial memory bank from all those years ago to reveal the real Beatles and the madness that was Beatlemania. The book really is one of the most engrossing pieces of non-fiction you’ll ever read

The author, Ivor Davis, is pictured here with George Harrison in 1964 . - Courtesy Express Newspapers

about the mop tops … if ever there was a “page turner” this is most certainly is it. When he gets to the second tour of America, the lads meet Elvis …. I’m not going to ruin the book for you … but you’ll be undoubtedly flabbergasted when you read the real story. The meeting of the two biggest names in music was in the works for over a year. Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis’ manager, and Brian Epstein, the Beatles manager, had met, communicated and finally came up with a day and place when the Fab Four could meet their idol, Elvis.

The “Summit” as it was called, would allow no photographers or recorders. Actually no press was to attend but the Beatles brought along a writer the (NME) New Musical Express and British journalist Ivor Davis, at the time covering the Beatles American Tour for a second year. Davis was the west coast reporter for the London Daily Express. He’d spent summer 1964 traveling and living with the Beatles during the maelstrom that was their first American tour. Now back for round two crisscrossing America, Beatles manager Epstein invited

Davis to join the group as they dodged fans, sped around in limos, partied and played to the biggest crowd ever at New York’s Shea Stadium. (As an aside - yours truly, my bother Colin, and my dad were supposed to be there for that historic gig. He had press credentials, but alas, my father gave away the tickets, saying, “I didn’t know you boys were big fans of the Beatles.” We didn’t talk to him for years after this declaration of guilt.) Back to Elvis: What Ivor didn’t expect was walking into Elvis’ home one hot summer night with the Fab Four, their crew of three roadies, publicist and Epstein. August 1965 was a rough time in Los Angeles. The Watts Riots had destroyed much of South LA. Davis had been covering them 24/7, grabbing sleep when he could. Then the madness that was the Beatles arrived and he was off to document their second conquering of the States. “By 1965, I was covering major stories across the U.S. for the Daily Express,” said Davis. “When I was assigned to travel with the Beatles for a second time, I was much more prepared for what lie

ahead—screaming girls, very late nights, racing around in limos and on private planes. The only good thing was the length of the tour, just two weeks instead of the long 34 days I’d traveled with them in 1964. “When Brian (Epstein) finally ironed out the details of an Elvis meeting with Colonel Parker, I had few expectations. I was called over to the Beatles rental home on St. Pierre and told that the “Summit” was on. I arrived to only learn things were on hold. Elvis wasn’t ready. We all waited, especially the boys. John and Paul were huge fans of Elvis, buying of his records as teenagers in Liverpool. Elvis was a major influence according to John.” Davis also was the official ghost writer for George Harrison during the tour. Music magazines in the UK like New Musical Express, Melody Maker, and hundreds of smaller publications were eager to get first-hand stories from the four lads from Liverpool. Ivor Davis had to convince a reticent Harrison to go along with the plan. Go buy this book and inwardly digest a slice of magical musical history.

Russell Smith Foundation Curator of Western Manuscripts, provided a 30-minute presentation of research that makes up the findings in his newly published book, Motoring West: Automobile Pioneers, 19001909 (Vol. 1). Blodgett’s seminar-like presentation was just the beginning of an evening filled with early 1900s music, automobiles, and yes, even people (or at least, persons dressed in the latest fashion of the period). A ticketed event, it was well attended by various portions of the San Gabriel community (as well as mem-

It was a period when western segments of the United States had yet to see paved roads or highways and when “automobiling” was a brand new venture, often reserved for the upper-middle class. Blodgett reminded his audience that despite the wellknown career and impact of Henry Ford and his Model T in the early automobile industry, in fact, there were many other automakers in the marketplace (several of whom promised the adventure of the “open road” in their advertisements). However, if a historical discussion is not your idea of entertainment, the Huntington provided an immersive experience into the

During and after the festivities, several visitors sat on the veranda of the café with coffee, tea, or even wine in hand, and they enjoyed the natural beauty of the gardens while the sunset sank behind the well-known Huntington mansion. It was a casual and enlightening evening filled with melodies lost over time and a topic as relevant now than ever, as transportation (especially here in California) continues to dictate the western ways of life. For these reasons, Blodgett, and the Huntington, provided a memorable evening for everyone who attended.

San Gabriel Valley Water Company Applauded for Conservation Continued from page 1

This being an aside, California is making major strides in reducing usage: The Governor’s office this week released some encouraging stats that prove that while in a historic drought, California can still save water. With record-breaking heat throughout much of the State in June, Californians continued to conserve water, reducing water use by 27.3 percent and exceeding Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr.’s 25 percent mandate in the first month that the new emergency conservation regulation was in effect. “Californians understand the severity of the drought and they are taking action, as shown by the numbers released today,” said Felicia Marcus, Chair of the State Water Resources Control Board. “We didn’t know if the positive showing in May was due in part to cooler temperatures. This report shows that residents knew they had to keep conserving even during the summer heat and they kept the sprinklers off more than they would in a normal year. That’s the right attitude as we head into August and September heat--in the drought of the century with no certain end date.” Despite being the hot-

test June on record, California’s urban water suppliers exceeded the statewide conservation goal, saving 59.4 billion gallons (182,151 acrefeet), as compared to the same time in 2013. June conservation efforts put the State on track to achieve the 1.2 million acre feet savings goal by February 2016, as called for by the Governor in his April 1 Executive Order. Water suppliers have made significant Investments in their education and outreach programs to communicate the need to conserve to their customers. June’s enforcement statistics highlight the growing awareness of how water is used locally as a result of these programs. Water suppliers reported that their compliance and enforcement programs saw an almost twofold increase in the number of complaints of water waste which resulted in a big jump in reported penalties. Monthly water use reports are required by the emergency water conservation regulation, and are provided to the State Water Board by urban water suppliers. Urban water suppliers are expected to meet, or ex-

ceed, their individual conservation standard starting in June and continuing through February 2016. The year 2013 serves as the baseline for determining water savings statewide. June Highlights: The percent of water saved by the State’s large urban water agency suppliers decreased from 29.1 percent in May to 27.3 percent in June, in same-month water use comparisons of 2015 to 2013. June 2015 was the

serving 27.2 million people met or exceeded their conservation standard. Almost 40 percent of all urban water suppliers reduced their water use by 30 percent or more. In April, water suppliers began reporting on their compliance and enforcement efforts to promote conservation and reduce water waste. The June statistics demonstrate community and water supplier commitment to identify and correct wasteful practices: 43,942 water waste complaints were reported statewide (by 371 suppliers), compared with 28,793 complaints reported in May (by 353 suppli- Photo by Terry Miller ers); 35,295 formal warnwarmest June on record. ings were issued for waThe amount of water ter waste statewide (by 307 saved in June 2015 (59.4 suppliers), compared with billion gallons) is six times 36,082 formal warnings in more than the amount of May (by 279 suppliers); and water saved during the same 9,582 penalties were ismonth in 2014 (9.6 billion sued statewide (by 52 supgallons), when the State’s pliers), compared with 1,928 voluntary 20 percent conser- penalties issued in May (by vation goal was in effect. 49 suppliers).

outdoor watering seven days a week. “In normal years, water use rises dramatically in the hot summer months. But this year, during the hottest June on record, Californians proved that that they have the ingenuity and commitment to meet this challenge,” said Marcus. “Agencies have stepped up to the plate to engage with their customers and it shows. The public knows how bad the drought is, and agencies need to help them know what to do. Letting lawns go golden, taking shorter showers, and other actions can pay off in greater urban water security in the event of more dry years, but, at the same time, we need to be clear that trees should be watered.” Dozens of communities achieved conservation levels of more than 30 percent in June 2015. Suppliers demonstrating remarkable performance included: San Gabriel Valley Water Company - reduced water use by 35 percent in June, 1.5 times greater than the 23 percent reduction recorded in May. San Gabriel Valley’s Stage 2 drought restrictions and penalties were approved by the California Public Utilities Commission on June 22, 2015.

Business Owner Admits to Flouting Duarte's Massage Ban, Accuses Officials of Doctoring Documents Continued from page 1

viding nutrition and weight loss counseling and selling massage products," Petersen wrote in a May 13 letter to Ponce de Leon and the owners of the property where the business is located. "These violations were clearly reflected in the numerous reports presented by [the Public Safety Department] as to the massage services that have been purchased and conducted specifically at 1740 Huntington Drive, Suite 102," the letter continues. "It also included the testimony of the officer who witnessed a massage patron who had just completed her paid massage service on April 21 ... when the officers were inspecting the business and cited the owner." In early-June an attorney for Ponce de Leon notified the city in writing that the holistic health care provider intended to appeal the

license revocation to the city council. That appeal hearing took place Tuesday during the council's regular public meeting. Members voted 5-0 to deny Ponce de Leon's appeal and uphold the license cancellation. Mayor Tzeitel ParasCaracci, however, amended the motion to deny the appeal with language explicitly stating the revocation wouldn't prevent Ponce de Leon from applying for a new business license that under the city's recently adopted regulations would allow her to offer massage services. Mayor Pro Tem Sam Kang offered some empathetic words for Ponce de Leon. "We're a businessfriendly city," he said. "I understand that she got a wrong business license and she's acting incorrectly. ...

But I just hope that she's not going to go ahead and have that five-year restriction with her lease, have to go ahead and pay out that, and she's hurting already." A key sticking point centered on the moratorium officials imposed on massage establishments between July 2014 and June of this year when the council approved updated massage business regulations. Ponce de Leon claimed she first filed her business license application that included her intention to provide massage services on April 4, 2014. However, due to what she characterized as unfair processing delays by city staff members, the application was denied four months later on Aug. 7 due to the massage moratorium. Ponce de Leon also alleged city employees altered her application form. Two hand-written dates

appear at the bottom of the license application form next to the applicant's signature – April 9, 2014 and Aug. 4, 2014. Ponce de Leon suggested a city staff member wrote the August date on the form. Council Member John Fasana and Paras-Caracci requested an explanation for the apparent discrepancy. Public Safety Manager Larry Breceda, the code enforcement officer who led the investigation, said Ponce de Leon entered the two dates and the city received the form on Aug. 5, as indicated by a date stamp at the top of the document. In an interview Brian Villalobos, director of the Public Safety Department which oversees code enforcement, also responded to the confusion over the application dates. "[Ponce de Leon] wrote in 'April 4,' that is her handwriting, it's not ours," Villalobos said. "She could have picked up the application in April and wrote that date on there, but there was no application to the city at that time," Villalobos added. "The bottom line is that's the first application. Now she was talking to staff at least starting in April when she picked up the application or downloaded it online." Breceda, who denied an interview request, said during the public hearing that he was in contact with Ponce de Leon starting "in the early months of 2014" when she called him several times with questions pertaining to starting a massage business in Duarte.

After the moratorium began, Ponce de Leon asked Breceda for advice on how she might circumvent the massage ban, Breceda said. "At the end of all these multiple conversations I had with her over the phone, she still implied that she wanted to open up a massage establishment, and she was going to do it one way or another," Breceda said. "I gave her sound advice at the end of our conversations in July and August that she should wait until the moratorium is concluded." Villalobos also brought up Ponce de Leon's massage therapy certification. "Even if [Ponce de Leon] were to apply at the time, she did not have the state certification – she would not have been able to apply [for a business license]," Villalobos said. "She did not receive state certification from the [California Massage Therapy Council] until September of that year, so that would have been the first time she could have applied under even our old code. ... "She was denied because of the moratorium," Villalobos continued. "She wasn't denied because she didn't have the state license, although she could have been denied on that too." The revoked license that did not permit massage services was approved Sept. 25, documents show. Another discrepancy Ponce de Leon pointed out in her hearing testimony was the marked difference in appearance of the signatures on the application that was denied in August 2014 and the Sept. 25 application.

Ponce de Leon apologized to the council for violating the terms of her business license, claiming economic hardship as her main motivation for providing massage services in spite of the city's ban. Breceda testified that when he confronted Ponce de Leon after the April 21 sting operation in which Public Safety Department employee Susie Ledesma paid Ponce de Leon $60 to perform an hour-and-half massage, the holistic healer admitted to providing massage services for more than a year. A tip from one individual on April 6 prompted the investigation and eventual undercover operation targeting Ponce de Leon, Breceda said in response to a question from Council Member Margaret Finlay. Ponce de Leon repeatedly chided officials for allegedly treating her unfairly. "I hope tomorrow when I walk in I won't be discriminated [against]," she said in an interview. "Always I was discriminated [against] by the staff of the planning department, and hopefully tomorrow it can be a new day for me." Ed Meyer, who attended the hearing and said he was Ponce de Leon's business consultant, criticized the city's code enforcement investigation. "One complaint, and the city's been dogging her forever," Meyer said in an interview. "She did the massage because a friend of a friend of Roxana's asked, and the friend of a friend of Roxana's was a city investigator."

Foothill Credit Union to Unveil Break Room Make-Over at Temple City High

The Tragedy at City Hall The Sierra Madre City Council finally presented the tragic play known as the General Fund. This was after weeks of teaser presentations around town and newspaper advertising. The newly hired Director of Finance delivered the prologue in which the total city revenue was $8,933,000 and had to be cut by approximately $500,000 due to the 2% reduction of the U.U.T. The audience was asked for input and the main suggestion that was offered was to increase the U.U.T. again instead of making spending cuts. The City Manager offered $237,500 in reductions: -Administration Services - $105,000 -Library - $70,000 -Planning - $40,000 -Fire - $10,000 -Police - $9000

This was to be added to the surplus of $356,000 from FY 2014-2015 and an additional $168,000 of General Fund Reserves in order to balance the 20152016 Budget. This was followed by serious discussion by the city council which almost brought tears to the viewers. Finally, after several adjustments, the city council passed a balanced budget for the year 2015-2016 by unanimous vote. The revised numbers for spending are -General Fund $8,267,500 -Special Revenue $3,153,000 -Internal Services $4,070,800 -Water - $5,422,200 -Sewer - $1,071,200 -Business Funds – 251,000 -Successor Agency – 494,000

Total: $22,745,400 What’s going on? These spending numbers are over $22 million and we were only told the income is less than $9 million. Now, you know the real tragedy, which is that the people were only told of the bookkeeping fund known as the General Fund and not the total income number, which is over $22 million. Aren’t the people allowed to know the whole story? The City is in fact increasing spending with pay raises and hiring of new employees. Do the people really need more tax burden? Absolutely not! No U.U.T. increase and no parcel tax! Instead, vote to reduce our tax burden. The median salary of city employees is greater than the private sector already. What should the taxpayer do? What should you do? -Sierra Madre Watchman

Civil Rights Groups Issue Public Records Elastic Drug Delivery Technology Act and FOIA Requests for ‘Countering Releases Drugs When Stretched Violent Extremism’ Programs In the wake of last week’s closed door Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) summit and the introduction of a Congressional bill to fund CVE initiatives, Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Los Angeles (Advancing Justice - LA) joins a coalition of Los Angeles based civil rights groups on issuing Public Record Act (PRA) and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests demanding greater government transparency about CVE programs. Alongside Advancing Justice - LA, the groups include American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California (ACLU SoCal), South Asian Network (SAN) and the Council on AmericanIslamic Relations of the Greater Los Angeles Area (CAIR-LA). The requests are being made to various federal, state and local agencies to learn about the extent of their participation in the CVE initiatives. “We remain committed to responding to community concerns regarding CVE programs, including requiring the government to be open and honest about the

C O N N E C T to...

nature and extent of the programs, especially in light of prior unwarranted targeting and surveillance of Muslim communities that have led to grave civil liberties abuses,” said Laboni Hoq, litigation director at Advancing Justice – LA. The Los Angeles groups join a collective of similar civil rights organizations in Minneapolis and Boston who have issued similar statements this week. There continues to be strong opposition to both CVE programs and the government’s selective and secretive community engagement in each of the three proposed CVE pilot cities. Los Angeles area civil rights organizations join expressing continued concerns about the negative impact of CVE on civil liberties and registering opposition to them by many within our constituencies. “Despite repeatedly raising concerns, civil rights and community-based groups have received no response from the government. Instead the government has decided to prioritize CVE, a program proven to be ineffective,

with no support from the community it is directed towards, and major civil rights implications,” says Haroon Manjlai, CAIR-LA’s Public Affairs Coordinator. Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Los Angeles is the nation’s largest Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) legal and civil rights organization and serves more than 15,000 individuals and organizations every year. Founded in 1983 as the Asian Pacific American Legal Center, Advancing Justice - LA’s mission is to advocate for civil rights, provide legal services and education, and build coalitions to positively influence and impact Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and to create a more equitable and harmonious society. Through direct legal services, impact litigation, policy analysis and advocacy, leadership development and capacity building, Advancing Justice - LA seeks to serve the most vulnerable members of the AANHPI community while also building a strong AANHPI voice for civil rights and social justice.

Fall semester starts August 24 Transfer

Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have developed a drug delivery technology that consists of an elastic patch that can be applied to the skin and will release drugs whenever the patch is stretched. For example, if applied to the elbow, the patch would release a drug when the elbow bends and stretches the patch. “This could be used to release painkillers whenever a patient with arthritic knees goes for a walk, or to release antibacterial drugs gradually as people move around over the course of a day,” said Zhen Gu, cosenior author of a paper describing the work and an assistant professor in the joint biomedical engineering program at NC State and UNC-Chapel Hill. The technology consists of an elastic film that is studded with biocompatible microcapsules. These microcapsules, in turn, are packed with nanoparticles that can be filled with drugs. Here’s how it works: The microcapsules stick halfway out of the film, on the side of the film that touches a patient’s skin. The drugs leak slowly out of the nanoparticles and are stored in the microcapsules. When the elastic film is stretched, it also stretches the microcapsules – enlarging the surface area of the microcapsule and effectively squeezing some of the stored drug out onto the patient’s skin, where it can be

absorbed. “When the microcapsule is stretched from left to right, it is also compressed from bottom to top,” said Yong Zhu, co-senior author of the paper and an associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at NC State. “That compression helps push the drug out of the microcapsule.” After being stretched, the microcapsule is “recharged” by the drugs that continue to leak out of the nanoparticles. “This can be used to apply drugs directly to sites on the skin, such as applying anti-cancer medications to melanomas or applying growth factors and antibiotics for wound healing,” said Jin Di, co-lead author and a Ph.D student in Gu’s lab. The researchers also incorporated microneedles into the system, applying them on top of the microcapsules. In this configuration,

the drugs can be squeezed through the microneedles. The microneedles are small enough to be painless, but large enough to allow drugs to diffuse into the bloodstream through tiny capillaries underneath the skin. “This expands the range of drugs that can be applied using the technology,” said Shanshan Yao, co-lead author and a Ph.D student in Zhu’s lab. “The materials are relatively inexpensive, and the manufacturing process is fairly straightforward, so we’re optimistic that this could be scaled up in a costeffective way,” Zhu said. The work was supported by the American Diabetes Association, a pilot grant from UNC Chapel Hill’s NC TraCS Institute, and by the National Science Foundation through the ASSIST Engineering Research Center at NC State.

ChapCare PHOTOS AND STORY BY AMELIA FAVELA

Community Health Alliance of Pasadena (ChapCare) is a high-quality health center that provides communities of the San Gabriel Valley with affordable healthcare services. The always up-to-date facility was established in 1995 and has grown healthy relationships with SGV communities, as they now have a total of seven locations: four in Pasadena, two in El Monte, and the newest facility in Monrovia, ChapCare Lime. As of Aug. 3, members of the Monrovia community,

as well as neighboring cities such as Duarte and Arcadia, can experience high-quality healthcare for their entire family. The center has the ability to care for women’s health, men’s health, pediatric, dental, and vision. For those who suffer from mental illnesses, ChapCare also provides mental healthcare, such as counseling and group therapy. The state-of-the-art facility welcomes low-income community members to receive the highest grade of healthcare, despite having

low finances. “We believe everyone should be treated with proper care, regardless of financial difficulties,” said Marketing Supervisor Kevin Reed. Another primary focus of ChapCare is to provide people with easy access health insurance. For many, navigating through their healthcare plan is often considered a daunting task, let alone enrolling. “The purpose of having medical coverage is to be able to use it at your convenience for checkups, screenings, and

any other health related needs,” Reed said. ChapCare not only simplifies the process of using medical insurance, but the communityoriented center also invites residents to its facilities for free health insurance screenings and enrollment. Families can come to ChapCare to be guided through the easy process of finding the medical coverage plan that is right for all members of the family, including plans with MediCal, Medicare and Covered CA. The center’s efforts are

visibly benefiting as they have enrolled more than 4,000 people in a Covered CA healthcare plan over the last two years. ChapCare’s newest facility in Monrovia, which was formerly occupied by the Bill Moore Community Health Clinic, has been completely renovated to bring top-tier medical equipment to the city. Unlike most universal healthcare offices, ChapCare provides patients with a personal experience. The lobby, office, and all checkup rooms are designed to look and feel similar to a private doctor’s office, which is helpful in showing patients that they matter. The Monrovia ChapCare is also located blocks away from the Foothill Unity Center, which is convenient as the two often work closely to care for community members. In efforts to share its beneficial services with Monrovia residents, ChapCare has participated in different outreach events, such as National Health Care Week. During the event, the facility contributed free preventative and health

maintenance screenings for entire families. ChapCare also looks forward to being a part of the Monrovia Association of Fine Art’s 52nd Annual Celebrate the Arts Show Sept. 26th and 27th. Visit the Monrovia ChapCare center during its open hours Monday-Friday 8.a.m. to 5 p.m. at 513 E. Lime Ave, Suite 101. Or schedule an appointment by calling (626) 398-6300. You can also visit the website www.ChapCare.org to learn more about ChapCare’s different health services.

Foster Children Get Back to School With a Little Help From CASA health, mental health, and more. CASA volunteers are assigned by the court to assist the foster children who need them most, and particularly when a child’s foster family is unable to provide for them in those matters. “Our job is basically to go to bat for the kids,” said Vince Schodolski, a CASA volunteer of three years. “Sometimes it can be difficult to get a school to dedicate to an IEP, and it’s made even more difficult with how often foster kids move around and need a new one from a new school.” Schodolski is currently working with two brothers, aged four and five, who are in the process of being adopted by their foster parents; but until then, he holds their education rights. “It’s really hard for the kids, and because of the rough homes they come from, it’s important to help them as much as we can when they’re young,” said Schodolski, who specializes in early childhood development. According to The Alliance for Children’s Rights, less than 50% of foster children in LA County graduate

‘Simply the Best’ the Arcadia Marching Band BY JONATHAN TSOU

BY KRAMER SULLIVAN Going back to school can be a challenging time for kids, but for foster children it can be a nightmare. Foster children who endured emotional trauma and neglect in their home lives are at a much higher risk of falling behind in class or dropping out of school. According to The Center for the Future for Teaching and Learning, foster children are twice as likely as children from a stable home to be classified as having a learning disability and five times as likely to be classified as having an emotional disturbance. Because of this, many foster children require an IEP, or Individual Educational Plan. Unfortunately, setting up an IEP with a school can be difficult for foster parents. Luckily, a group known as CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Los Angeles is a L.A. County-based group that is dedicated to reversing and reducing the effects of child abuse and neglect that many of these foster children have suffered. CASA’s role in a child’s life is to act as a legal representative in matters related to school, physical

from high school and only 3% graduate from college. According to CASA’s website, “Studies have demonstrated that children who are abused and neglected are at a significantly higher risk for academic failure, chronic delinquency, homelessness, adult criminal behavior, antisocial personality, and addictions.” CASA is working hard to change this, but the odds are against them. With over 28,000 children in the foster care system of L.A. County, CASA is currently only able to assist around 600. CASA has big plans, however, and hopes to greatly increase this number. The most important thing they need is manpower. “Our training is pretty intense,” recalled Schodolski, “it’s a six week program, and at the end you’re sworn in by a judge.” According to many CASA volunteers, it is well worth it. CASA is always searching for dedicated volunteers who are looking to make a difference in a foster youth’s life. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer can visit CASA’s website at www.casala.org.

Arcadia High School possesses one of the California’s top high school marching bands. The Apache Marching Band has won more than 30 major championships and has marched in the Tournament of Roses Parade fourteen times. The band also marched in the 2005 Presidential Inauguration. Just last spring, the Band was selected to appear in a NFL commercial during the Super Bowl. Last season the Arcadia Marching Band and Field received a gold medal at the Southern California School Band and Orchestra Association Championships (SCSBOA). SCSBOA is a non-profit organization that enriches the cultural environment by helping students explore a future in music, judging standards, and improving musical teaching techniques. However, awards do not come easily. Director Kevin Sherrill and assistant Seth Murphy guide the band daily to ensure they are in top form for each event. The band students also receive weekly sectionals, in which each instrumental section work on problems within their own section. During marching season, the band’s schedule

includes weekly rehearsals on the field, daily rehearsals before school, and Saturday rehearsals. Every Wednesday during marching season, the band practice from 5:30 to 9 p.m. - Courtesy Photo by Ronald Lee Often, Arcadia residents can observe the band as members march School’s renowned Marchon Campus Drive in order to ing Band, the Arcadia High prepare for the events.

We are attempting to collect a debt and any information we obtain will 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 or visit this Internet Web site www.servicelinkASAP.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2015-02920. 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.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there

26 | AUGUST 13, 2015 - AUGUST 19, 2015 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) 2802832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.

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.

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.

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.

How California High Schools Rank in the Nation

AUGUST 13, 2015 - AUGUST 19, 2015 | 29

2015 Pasadena Cheeseburger Week CHEESEBURGER CHALLENGE

BY AME HOSSEN As school is fast approaching, many students are thrown into a completely new environment. High school: a whirlwind of new educational experiences and learning opportunities where an adolescent paves his or her own path and grows into a knowledgeable young adult. So how is California aiding these teenagers in their growth? According to 2015’s state ranking breakdown, The Golden State’s high school system ranks second in the nation, with 27.2 percent of high schools located in California to possess gold and silver medals. Each year, every one of the 50 states is evaluated on the level their students perform at on Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate tests. The eligibility of a school is determined by how well the students perform on their statewide tests. The medals are then appropriately awarded to those schools with the greatest performance on the previously mentioned criteria. California ranked first for having the highest amount of gold medals awarded: 95. Although all states, exclud-

ing Alabama and South Dakota received a minimum of one gold or silver, only 34 of the 50 states received a gold medal. Arcadia High School, located in the San Gabriel Valley, was of the few to receive the prestigious title of a gold medal school. Ranking 432nd nationwide and 89th statewide, AHS is nationally recognized for its prestigious athletic and performing arts programs, as well as its Advanced Placement and Honors courses. Last year, Arcadia High School had an astounding 31 National Merit Scholars from its school. Among the 3,000

students, one scored a perfect ACT score, and another aced an AP Calculus BC exam, being one out of eleven students to ever do so in the world. Along with providing students with rigorous academic courses, AHS provides opportunities to join on-campus clubs that provide lessons of leadership, while still participating in academically challenging activities. Some clubs include: Math Team, Quiz Bowl, Robotics Team, Academic Decathlon, Physics Team, and many more. For more information about Arcadia High School, visit ahs.ausd.net.

August College Search Guide BY MAY S. RUIZ It’s August - for some kids, summer vacation is winding down; for others, it has ended. If your children are heading back to school this week, I hope they had the chance to breathe, decompress, and savor the lull because they are once more face-to-face with the realities of high school life. High schoolers in the San Gabriel Valley confront exceedingly fierce competition – this is where students get perfect SAT scores; have 4.0 GPAs; are first-class cellists/pianists/ violinists; have a gazillion extra-curriculars. Everyone is so accomplished that it’s impossible for someone to stand out. Much has been written in the newspapers about how stressed out these children are. Some of them get through these four years relatively unscathed while there are a few who attempt to run away from it all, as one student from San Marino did a few weeks ago. At my daughter’s school, stress was a given. Her classmates were taking five AP courses in one year, were competing in sports/ debate/art, spearheading a club on campus, and taking

an independent study outside of school. They pursued all kinds of activities and interests to build impressive resumes to go on their application to the most selective universities in the country. Whether that was their own choice or something imposed on them by their parents, I couldn’t say. My daughter was happy not to be one of these students who took on such a punishing load. Yet, even as a slacker by her school’s standards, she took a good number of AP courses, got consistently excellent marks, was actively involved in theatre, and took piano lessons every Saturday. She put in an ungodly amount of time doing everything she needed to accomplish; how her overachieving classmates survived high school is beyond me. I advocate for parents cutting their kids some slack. Parents and children shouldn’t get fixated on the same eight universities with single digit acceptance rates (of course, at the high school my daughter went, applying to the Ivies was a sport). Institutions of higher learning in the United States are the

envy of the world and for good reason. There are innumerable colleges and universities that offer excellent teaching; there is a school out there that is the right fit for your child. Recognize your children’s abilities and set your expectations accordingly. Freshman: High school is vastly different from middle school. Your chil-

dren no longer have a “home room,” they have different sets of classmates for each course; they make their own choices of academic courses, athletic activities, art electives, and campus clubs. More importantly, all their activities and grades will go on their resume; each AP course they take, sport they play, lan-

guage they select, will count. If your children didn’t have the chance to meet with their counselor during the summer break, they need to make the time to do it as soon as school starts. Their conversations with the counselor should start in 9th grade. Usually, there is a “Back to School Night” when parents

get to meet all the teachers. This is a chance for you to see what your children will be learning during the school year. While you will no longer be as involved with your children’s activities as in previous years, find the time to be aware of what’s happening. Some schools welcome, even solicit, parents’ help for certain campus events.

Sophomore: Your children have fully transitioned into high school, the demands of which were drilled into their unconsciousness the past school year. With 9th grade behind them; they need to face 10th grade with renewed energy and enthusiasm. Junior: Hopefully, your kids got a lot of rest, because they will be embarking on one of the most hectic years of high school life. Make sure your children confer with their school’s college counselor to ascertain they have all the courses required for graduating and for college. They need to know what standardized exams they’ll need to take for college application. They should research which colleges and universities offer the course they would like to pursue. This is the time to have a conversation with your children about financing their college education. Senior: By now, your children should know where they would be applying and have visited the schools. They should have taken all standard exams required for college applications, firmed up their school

UNIQUE ARCHITECTURAL ESTATE

list, researched all kinds of scholarships, lined up teachers to write their recommendations, perfected their personal statement, and learned how to complete the common application. They practically have to have their running shoes on by the time they get in the door of their high school! College Freshman: Are your kids ready to leave their childhood behind? In a few weeks, they will be on a road not traveled. Covllege life exposes them to the real world and I hope you let them practice how to live independently of you during summer break. Things they took for granted before – eating meals without having to turn on the stove, getting clothes laundered weekly for them, room being miraculously cleaned – will suddenly be a thing of the past. You won’t be there to do any of these. If their school offers catered meals, that’s one less chore to worry about. But there’ll still be laundry to do. Congratulations, parents! You have successfully launched your child into college and adulthood. Hello, empty nest syndrome!

How Connected Cars Make Our Cities Smarter No doubt about it, we live in a brave new world. One in which our digital life is expanding and evolving at an unprecedented rate. Wireless connectivity has spread from computers and smartphones to cars, homes and cities, and it’s simplifying and improving our way of living. The rise of the machines or “smart” objects powered by machine-tomachine (M2M) technology has been a huge catalyst for the Internet of Things—a web of connected objects and devices that communicate with one another to make life easier. The automotive industry is leading the way with more than 23 million connected cars on the road today and projections for 152 million by 2020. With Americans spending so much time in their cars, it is easy to see how connected cars can enrich our lives simply through technology. There is advanced 3D navigation, automatic emergency calling when accidents occur and always-on mobile WiFi. They can automatically exchange information with other smart objects such as traffic lights to help reduce road congestion and improve navigation. They can also direct drivers to the nearest open parking spot and turn on the heat and stereo system before arriving home. The possibilities are

limited only by our ability to securely manage wireless service plans for the long life of vehicles and smart city solutions. Until recently, updating connected car systems was expensive and time consuming, requiring a trip to the dealership to change electronic components embedded under the dashboard. Now, consumers will soon be able to securely update wireless features and even add new vehicles or smart home devices to existing mobile service plans via a mobile device app or website visit. The new “on-demand connectivity” solution makes it much easier to adopt new technology or instantly take advantage of special offers without additional service contracts

or monthly invoices. “In an increasingly connected world, it is vital to remove barriers for growth,” said Gemalto Vice President Juan Lazcano. “On-demand connectivity allows people to easily manage their connected devices while helping mobile network operators improve service offerings and customer loyalty. It’s a win-win scenario.” The best part is that Gemalto’s solution adds a layer of data security that ensures personal information is protected when service plan updates are made. This allows all of us to trust in the connected cars and smart cities of the future. For more information, visit www.gemalto.com/ iot.
