Democrats Prevail in Republicans’ Attempt to Defund Planned Parenthood
COMPLIMENTARY COPY VOLUME 19, NO. 39
Saturday’s Rally in Pasadena Sends Strong Message BY TERRY MILLER
Approximately 1000 people attended a rally in defense of Planned Parenthood Saturday morning. The huge show of support on the steps of Pasadena City Hall was in direct reaction not only to the “doctored” fetus videos but also the massive Republican attempt to defund the education services the organization provides to women. – Photo by Terry Miller

ly edited in an attempt to discredit the group. Concerned that opponents of Planned Parenthood people had blended into the crowd with signs quoting the Bible, organizers called Pasadena police, who kept a watchful eye on the proceedings. Saturday’s large turnout included Mayor Terry Tornek who was quick to point out that he was there as a private individual supporting Planned Parenthood and not on behalf of city council. “It’s important for us to thank our community of supporters and show that we will not let these fraudulent attacks hinder access to care, no matter what,” said SEE PG. 9
NAACP Calls City Attorneys’ Office ‘Two-Faced’ On Disclosure of McDade Shooting Report
BY J. SHADÉ QUINTANILLA Jamaal Clipps walked with pride on Saturday night. Dressed in his best, he mingled and spoke with guests familiar and new at the Professional Child Development Associates (PCDA) Harvest Moon fundraiser and auction. He was honored that evening as the recipient for the PCDA Achievement Award. Diagnosed with autism at the age of three, Clipps has come a long way from the introverted child he used to be. When his mother enrolled him in therapy at PCDA at the age of six, he had difficulty talking and interacting with others. He first started with one-on-
Despite the blistering heat, approximately 1,000 people rallied Saturday morning on the steps of Pasadena City Hall to show community-wide support for the millions of people who benefit from the health care and education services provided by Planned Parenthood. The rally was held in response to not only the Republican Congress’ attempt to defund PP but also “the series of fraudulent videos recorded by an anti-abortion extremist group, biased investigations into Planned Parenthood and their practices, and anti-abortion protestors disrupting care at Planned Parenthood locations across the country.” Officials of Planned Parenthood say the videos released had been altered and severe-

The Pasadena Chapter of the NAACP charged that the Pasadena City Attorney’s office last week “is speaking out of both sides of its mouth” on release of the Office of Independent Review Group (OIR) Report on the 2012 shooting of the unarmed African-American youth Kendrec McDade. The NAACP’s criticism of the City Attorney’s Office arose because of the revelation that its Deputy City Attorney, Javan Rad, obtained an order from the Court of Appeal for the purpose of appealing that Court’s recent determination that the City over-redacted the OIR Re-
port. The City submitted in the trial court a copy of the Report redacting 20% of it, contending that the redactions were necessary to protect the privacy rights of the police officers who shot McDade; the Court of Appeal decided that the City over-redacted by including OIR criticisms of the City’s police administration. The Court of Appeal set out the City’s overredactions in a sealed Appendix A to its opinion that will be released when the case returns to the trial court. On Wednesday,

Hikers Discover Man’s Body in the San Gabriel Canyon
noW, There iS AnoTher ChoiCe... Chapman Funeral Homes are very proud to open our own Funeral Home here in the San Gabriel Valley. Owners Terry & Mary Harmon have a long history in the area and in the Funeral Industry. We are honored when a family calls for our assistance. We are available 24 hours and do our best to accommodate your needs and keep your costs down.
On Saturday, Sept. 19, 2015, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, San Dimas Station, received a call from a resident indicating they had found an apparent dead body while hiking in the San Gabriel Mountains. The San Dimas Mountain Search and Rescue team was activated after deputies from the Air Rescue 5 helicopter confirmed the discovery. The search and rescue team members responded to the area of Prairie Fork Road (mile marker 0.13), just south of the Bridge to Nowhere in San Gabriel Canyon. Due to the fact the body was covered with mud and debris, extrication was delayed. Members of the Sheriff’s Department provided security at the scene throughout the night. On Sunday morning, Sept. 20, 2015, the Sheriff’s Air Rescue 5 helicopter airlifted investigators from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department's Homicide Bureau and the Los Angeles County Department of Med-
ical Examiner–Coroner into the scene. The body was extricated and removed from the area early Sunday afternoon. No identification of the body, other than it is that of a man, is available at this time. Further investigation as to the exact cause of death will be determined by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner–Coroner personnel. The investigation is on-going. Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact San Dimas Sheriff's Station at (909) 450-2700, or the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500. If you prefer to provide information anonymously, you may call "Crime Stoppers" by dialing (800) 222TIPS (8477), or texting the letters TIPLA plus your tip to CRIMES (274637), or by using the website http:// lacrimestoppers.org.
ATM cameras are typically used to catch criminals using a stolen card, but thieves have found ways to shoot their own video to steal cash. Bluetooth pinhole cameras, which are less than one inch in length and width, are perched above an ATM keypad to record PIN numbers. The wireless technology allows for remote capture of the video feed. Thieves also employ a skimmer that is placed in fake ATM card readers and reads the card’s magnetic stripe information. With the data and the PIN number, crooks can make counterfeit cards, sell the valuable information or go shop online. TIPS: -Look at the card reader to see if there is anything novel or different. Most
newer ATMs have a flashing card slot light. -Monitor your bank account daily and review all written monthly statements. -Do not allow anyone to assist or shoulder surf you at the ATM. -Use ATMs located inside a bank branch. If you or someone you know has been the victim of a scam, please contact the Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs at (800) 593-8222 or visit http:// dcba.lacounty.gov.

Father Sentenced to Life in Prison for Throwing Young Daughter Off Cliff
A father convicted of throwing his four-year-old daughter off a 120-foot cliff was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for her murder 15 years ago, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office announced. Cameron John Brown, 53, was sentenced following
his conviction in May of the first-degree murder of Lauren Sarene Key. Jurors also found true the special circumstances of murder for financial gain and lying in wait to be true. Deputy District Attorney Craig Hum with the Major Crimes Division prosecuted the case. Hum
told the jury in closing arguments that Brown threw the child off Inspiration Point in Rancho Palos Verdes on Nov. 8, 2000, for revenge because he hated the girl’s mother and he was tired of paying child support. The case was investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Governor Signs Legislation to Help Local Governments Improve Disadvantaged Communities
Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. signed two bills which will give local governments more economic development tools to help improve struggling communities. SB 107 and AB 2 will help cities and counties streamline efforts to enhance affordable housing in areas that need it the most. “These important new measures enacted today will help boost economic development in some of our most disadvantaged and deserving communities,” said Governor Brown. “California owes a debt of gratitude to Speaker Toni Atkins for her leadership on these issues over the years. Without her tireless efforts, these bills would never have passed.” SB 107 by the Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review includes provi-
sions that will streamline the current redevelopment agency dissolution process, enhance affordable housing by providing increased statewide funding and improving transparency and expand the type of loans for which cities and counties can seek reimbursement. “This is an important bill that helps local governments wind down the process of dissolving their redevelopment agencies, and, as that happens, communities across California will be able to access new tools to promote economic development and create jobs.” AB 2 by Assemblyman Luis Alejo (D-Watsonville) allows specified disadvantaged areas of California to create a new entity called a Community Revitalization Investment Authority (CIRA). The CIRA would utilize property

Alhambra - When you decide to sell your home, setting your optimal asking price is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Price is often the first thing a prospective buyer sees, and many homes are passed over as “not in our price range” before the home even has a chance of being shown. Your asking price is often your home’s “first impression,” and if you want to realize the most money you can for your home, it’s imperative that you make an excellent first impression. This is not as easy as it sounds,
and pricing strategy should not be taken lightly. Pricing too high can be as costly to a homeseller as pricing too low. Comparing against what other homes in your neighborhood have sold for is only a small part of the process, and by itself is not nearly enough to help you make the best decision. A recently study, which compiles 10 years of industry research, has resulted in a new special report entitled “Homesellers: How to Get the Price You Want (and Need).” This report will help you understand pricing strategy from three different angles. When taken
together, this information will help you price your home to sell fast, and sell for top dollar. To order your FREE Special Report, call toll-free 1-888-3004632 and enter 1016.

Arts Commission Announces Funding Opportunity for Non-Arts Organizations The Arts Commission announces the Community Impact Arts Grant (CIAG) program, a new funding opportunity for nonprofit organizations that use the arts to support their mission while primarily providing a wider range of services and programs. CIAG guidelines and application are available at lacountyarts.org/CIAG. Application deadline is Oct. 28, 2015. The arts are a vital tool for civic problem solving across a range of issues, including health, human services, and criminal justice. CIAG funds cross-sector strategies to address these issues, providing financial support for arts programming taking place at nonprofit social service and health organizations, municipal departments, religious organizations and institutions of higher education as part of larger missions to provide services to individuals and communities. “Although the Arts Commission has a rich history of funding the arts since 1947,
grant-making has been based solely on the traditional model of only funding arts organizations,” stated Laura Zucker, Arts Commission Executive Director. “CIAG addresses a key need in our region to recognize and support the more complex arts ecology of LA County by increasing access and strengthening the quality of arts programming wherever it happens.” “We need to reach a more diverse sector of our population with arts programming,” said Supervisor Hilda Solis. “We would like to be certain that it effectively reaches Los Angeles County residents who do not typically receive exposure or have access to the arts. This program is an important step in ensuring this happens.” “Throughout the County, our residents benefit from high quality arts programs provided by non-arts organizations,” Supervisor Sheila Kuehl said. “These reflect a wide swath of organizations dedicated to ad-
dressing various challenges ranging from homelessness and mental illness to domestic violence and much more.” Several workshops will be held throughout the County in September and October for interested applicants. These workshops include information about the program, a walkthrough of the guidelines, eligibility requirements and tips on submitting strong proposals. For detailed information and to register for a workshop, visit lacountyarts.org/CIAG. For more information about CIAG, email ciag@arts. lacounty.gov or call (213) 202-5858. The Los Angeles County Arts Commission fosters excellence, diversity, vitality, understanding and accessibility of the arts in Los Angeles County. The Arts Commission provides leadership in cultural services for the County, encompassing 88 municipalities, including funding and job opportunities, professional development and general resources. www.lacountyarts.org.

Rookie LASD Deputy Saves Life of Injured Motorist
While Deputy Jason Flores was on his way home from work Wednesday, Sept. 16, at approximately 3:30 p.m., he came upon a vehicle that had crashed into the center divider on the eastbound 210 freeway in Pasadena. The male adult driver was unresponsive inside the locked vehicle, prompting the deputy and another passerby to spring into action as they risked their own lives by stopping on the busy freeway. Deputy Flores forced entry into the vehicle and unlocked a door so he could make contact with the driver. As he attempted to wake the driver of the vehicle, Deputy Flores realized the driver was not breathing and did not have a pulse. They carefully removed the driver from the vehicle and placed him on the ground. Deputy Flores instructed the passerby to call 9-1-1 and request medical assistance, while he started to perform Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). During the second round of CPR compressions, the driver gasped for air and had a faint pulse. Two off-

transport the driver to a local hospital to be treated for his injuries. It was reported while the injured driver was being transported to the hospital his heart stopped twice, each time he was revived by Emergency Medical Services personnel. Once at the hospital, the driver was rushed into emergency surgery, and is currently listed in stable condition. Deputy Flores learned some basic CPR training through his family since his mother was involved in foster care, but he credits the majority of his life-saving skills and techniques to the Sheriff’s Academy Recruit Training Program. Deputy Jason Flores recently had his badge pinned on him by his grandfather, retired LASD Deputy Jimmy Jackson, at his academy graduation ceremony on Sept. 4, 2015.

Have At It and Enjoy If you are of an age to be reading Dorothy’s Place then I suspect you are of an age to enjoy the same thing that I did this week, so you must trust me and do what I did. You owe it to yourself. I went to see the movie A Walk in the Woods with Robert Redford and Nick Nolte. I tell you, I laughed like I had thought I never would again in this lifetime. The laughter starts, believe it or not, when an aging Redford attends one more funeral than he cares
to. As he goes through the condolence line, the widow, trying to keep a stiff upper lip, says, “Thank you for coming.” Redford, trying to be proper, replies, “Our pleasure.” At the end of the service Redford decides he must do something special before attending his own funeral. He decides to hike the Appalachian Trail. A very physically out-of-shape Nolte agrees to join him. I tell you, dear Reader, you too must join them for two hours of pure
fun - one giggle and bellylaugh after another. Afterwards, to top it off, I suggest you stop at Matt Denny’s Restaurant on Huntington Drive in Arcadia for a yummy meal. There is a wide selection but my absolute favorite is the bountiful Reuben sandwich with sides. That’s what my friend and I had while we rehashed and re-giggled our walk in the woods. I hope you, too, will have at it and enjoy!!

Kris, you were always our “go-to” person for so many things - how our business conversations would always seem to end up in personable delights having to chuckle as we needed to get back to our task at hand - I was soo excited for you during our chats about retiring, as it always seemed

Heart Transplant Doctors, Recipients Participate in Ava’s Heart to Heart Forum Free Event Taking Place Sept. 29, World Heart Day In the spirit of World Heart Day, and following its mandate to raise awareness and educate people about the transplant journey, pioneering non-profit Ava’s Heart Foundation, the only 501c3 in the United States that provides extensive support for transplant patients and their families pre-and-post lifesaving organ transplants, is hosting Ava’s Heart to Heart Forum on Sept. 29, 2015. The FREE informational community event provides people with a rare opportunity to hear from and interact leading heart transplant doctors from UCLA, heart transplant
recipients and their families, a patient with an Artificial Heart waiting for his heart transplant, and more! Taking place from 10 a.m. to noon at UCLA’s Garden of Peace, which is located in The Ronald Regan UCLA Medical Center at 757 Westwood Boulevard in Los Angeles, the event is open to anyone involved with or interested in the little-known world of heart transplants and how and why Southern California is at the forefront of this evolving, life-changing field. Esteemed participants include Ava Kaufman, the remarkable founder of Ava’s
Heart. Ava has dedicated her second chance at life, after receiving the heart of a 17-year-old boy, to helping other transplant candidates, recipients, and their families. Six years ago Ava was healthy, vibrant, and full of life; the next day, she was going to die unless she received a new heart. This can happen to anyone at any time. #ItCouldBeYou. The Transplant Journey, a new booklet written by Ava to help others understand what to expect and how to navigate through their own personal transplant journey or that of a loved one, will also launch

Joining Ava are Dr. Juan Carlos Alejo, Director of The Pediatric Heart and HeartLung Transplant Program at Mattel Children’s Hospital at UCLA, who will speak about how many babies and children need hearts, the process, and why his patient, little Jessica, needed two. Jessica Ostrand, Dr. Alejo’s 11-year-old patient
who successfully received her second heart transplant, will share her personal story and what it feels like to have had two heart transplants at such a young age. Her mother, Stephanie, will discuss what it is like to have a child in need of a heart and how Ava’s Heart has helped Jessica and their family. Dr. Mario Deng, Medical Director at UCLA, Adult Mechanical Circulatory Support and Heart Transplant Program,
Kevin Haboian, Senior Vice President of Parsons Transportation Group; Matt Scott, Vice President and District Manager of Kiewit Infrastructure West Co.; and Habib F.

Supporters March in Pasadena for Planned Parenthood Continued from page 1
Sheri Bonner, President and CEO, Planned Parenthood Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley. “I am here today representing myself, my sisters, my mother and grandmother and the generations of women in our family who have come ahead of me,” said Luna, a local student. “Growing up, my mom always told my sisters and I that if we were in trouble and we felt we had no one to talk to about relationships and sexuality, we should reach
out to and trust in Planned Parenthood.” Planned Parenthood supporters also heard from Congresswoman Judy Chu, Rector Ed Bacon, Reverend Susan Russell, and student leader Amanda Flores. On Tuesday, the House of Representatives voted on two bills that would drastically reduce access to healthcare for women, H.R. 3134, the Defund Planned Parenthood Act, and H.R. 3504, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection
Act. Together, these two bills would leave women without preventative health services like cancer screenings and family planning and would inappropriately and dangerously change the doctor-patient relationship through unnecessary requirements and draconian penalties. Rep. Judy Chu (CA-27) managed the debate on the House floor for the Democrats on H.R. 3504 and released the following statement: “Misleading titles can-
not hide the real intent behind these bills: further undermining a woman’s right to choose, a right that has been constitutionally guaranteed for more than 42 years by Roe v. Wade. Not only do these bills attempt to politicize women’s health and limit women’s access to abortion, they would interfere with the sacred doctorpatient relationship and substitute a physician’s best judgment with the judgment of a handful of politicians. “Defunding Planned Parenthood, as Republicans want, would have a devastating impact on women— especially women in rural communities, low-income women, and women of color —and would deny women access to preventive care, life-saving cancer screenings, and family planning services. “It is a blatant attack on women and families to defund an organization that uses federal funds to prevent abortions and to help families stay healthy, and cannot even use federal funding for abortion. It would be the saddest of ironies that, by defunding Planned Parenthood’s critical contraception and other reproductive health services in the name
of opposing abortion, we would see more unintended pregnancies and, therefore, more abortions. “Politicians are not doctors. We should be concerned about doing our jobs and fully fund high-quality women are health care instead of trying to keep doctors from doing theirs.” Following the protest, protesters marched down Colorado Boulevard to explosive support from pas-
sersby. “We’re here to show the community that we’re proud of the work Planned Parenthood does and we won’t let women in our community suffer because extremists want to take away their affordable, high-quality care,” said Ariella Levitch. The rally also served as a way for people to sign a petition stating their support for Planned Parenthood.

They Get Food Right: Mike and Anne’s By Ea Nicole Madrigal
If you can find a seat, you’re in luck. You are about to indulge in a delightful food experience that best exemplifies Los Angeles eating. Indoor or outdoor, brunch or lunch, good food or good drink – you must be at Mike and Anne’s in South Pasadena. If you’re not, then you don’t know what you’re missing. Mike and Anne’s restaurant has an ideal location in the South Pasadena Mission District extremely close to the South Pasadena Metro Station and drivable distance if you live on the outskirts of town (located near the 110 freeway). You’ll know you’re at the right place if you walk up to the corner that the restaurant sits on and the patio is packed full of hungry patrons with contented faces. This restaurant is part indoor and part outdoor, and altogether a fantastic spot to bring a date, your friends, or your little ones for a family dining outing. You can even bring your dog (as I did when I visited Mike
and Anne’s for the first time last week). I heard about Mike and Anne’s from a regular patron who swore to me that the martinis there were some of the best in Los Angeles. But, being an avid eater (professionally speaking), I listened to another patron who told me as I walked up to the restaurant that I “had to try the brunch.” So, that’s just what I did. I was astounded how busy this restaurant was on a Sunday afternoon, but I shouldn’t have been. The owners of Mike and Anne’s also own another brunch location favorite: Wistaria in Sierra Madre. Like Wistaria, Mike and Anne’s is known as one of the best spots to indulge in a Sunday brunch. I even wrote about Wistaria several months ago in this section of our newspaper. And Mike and Anne’s is worthy of the exact same praise. Taking the advice of the patron who suggested brunch, I went directly for the Challah Bread French
- Courtesy Photo
Toast. The bread is dipped in orange vanilla batter, and when topped with syrup… well, all I can say is “wow” and that’s putting things simply. It’s also served with just a few bits of fruit. This French toast may have been the very best French toast that I’ve ever had. In fact, this might have been the very best brunch I’ve ever had (and that’s comparing it with some delectable brunches I had the pleasure to enjoy in foodie cities like New York and Las
Vegas). After my visit to Mike and Anne’s, I can finally see what all of the raves were about. And I can’t believe it took me this long to share that news with all of you. I guess the only thing left for me to do now is to visit the restaurant again - very soon -and finally try that martini! Mike and Anne’s is located at 1040 Mission St, Suite 102, South Pasadena, CA 91030. Call (626) 7997199 or visit www.mikeandannes.com.

Every other month, Sierra Madre Public Library holds a used book sale. Supported wholly by donations and run by the Friends of Sierra Madre Public Library (FOSMPL), this two-day event attracts the young and old, the experienced and the curious. What books do they have? How much? Where can it be found? All questions will be answered. There’s treasure everywhere in the chaparral-filled foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. Some of it is natural. Some of it is manmade, and arguably the best of the manmade takes up residence in books. Beautiful tales told to children that stir their imaginations; gritty, true-life dramas of bravery and survival; and pleasant little novels like sugar-candy for the soul—all these can be found dirt-cheap at the Sierra Madre Best Used Book Sale, held in the parking lot of the Sierra Madre Library the first Friday and Saturday every other month. Used books, brand new books, and discards from the Library’s own collec-
tion make up the bulk of the sale. There’s nonfiction (like Obama’s Dreams from My Father; books of cooking, furniture, and scenery; history, humor, and ripped-fromthe-headlines crime), pulp fiction (a veritable feast of mass market paperbacks— Patterson, Jance, Evanovich, and many, many more), classics (spotted: Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander, Tennessee William’s Streetcar Named Desire, and of course Shakespeare), and children’s (picture books, educational texts, and fat teen reads all together). Packed with spine labels to the sky in rows of boxes on temporary tables in the Library’s parking lot, all these books are available for ridiculously good prices. Outside, five mass market paperbacks go for $1, or $0.25 cents per. All trade paperbacks or hardbacks are a flat $1—this includes books that originally retailed for around $27.99 with minimal wear. Downstairs in the FOSMPL store, slightly more expensive books fill a whole room, and all are for sale:
from $2 to $30. Biographies, mysteries, science, music, art, animals and the latest thrillers are all waiting to be taken home. The last sale was Aug. 7-8, 2015, so the next will be the first full weekend in October: Oct. 8, Friday, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.; and Oct. 9, Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Come early for the best selection on Friday. Come back on Saturday for even more bargains! By the tail end of the sale, they sell them by the bag for pennies on the dollar. Want to help? They are always looking for volunteers, and you can earn community service hours. Please call the Library at (626) 3557186. So drive or walk to the sunny parking lot in Sierra Madre just one block away from the fire station. There, thousands of books wait for a few dollars to make themselves your own. But wait, you may say. Why read at all? I think the best answer so far is: “Stories can conquer fear, you know. They can make the heart bigger.” - Ben Okri.

Real Women Have Curves They Do, Indeed
who are trying to make ends meet working in a garment factory, give the audience a humanizing look into the lives of lowincome female immigrants. Anna, the youngest of the women and focus of the play, is fresh out of high school and longs to go to college to become a writer, while her mother worries that this will make her unattractive to her future husband. Her older sister, Estella, owns the factory they work in, but is struggling with money and legal issues. The play follows them and two additional women through a week of work, as they try to complete a sewing order on time. The play is being performed at the Pasadena Playhouse and has wonderful production quality, with particularly stellar lighting and sound effects. Even before the play begins, the audience can note the beautifully cluttered stage that perfectly captures the essence of a dirty and run-down garment factory in downtown L.A. This is the only setting for the play, but it is the only setting that is needed, as it encapsulates the tediousness and monotony of factory work.
However, while the play covers several important issues, it attempts to cover too many of them. In addition to illegal immigration, the struggles of the lower income, and what it means to be a woman, the play also tries to discuss healthy body image, the negative effects of capitalism, abusive spouses, and family roles. What we end with is a play that brings up a lot of social issues, but fails to discuss many of them to closure. Some topics are introduced, but before they are talked about in depth, we have already moved on to the next one. While the play has many noble messages, it becomes cluttered trying to say them all. Additionally, the play ends with a major tone shift. What we see throughout the play is a gritty, realistic depiction of factory life. However, the story’s conclusion is almost too much of a fairy-tale ending, and isn’t directly related to the struggles we have been following. These shortcomings are
overshadowed, however, by the fabulous acting done by all the women on stage. Each
to this, the characters create drama among themselves, while still being quite likable. Overall, Real Women Have Curves is a good play that perhaps tries to accomplish too much. This doesn’t ruin it by any means, but it could have been an effective call to action of many social issues, if a few choice topics had been the focus. Regardless, it is worth a view, if only for the

‘Remembering Our Fallen’ Exhibit Opens With Memorial Ceremony More than 150 friends and family gathered in the courtyard of American Legion Pasadena, Post 13 at 6:15 p.m. on Sept. 19th for a memorial ceremony to open the “Remembering Our Fallen” exhibit, a traveling photo memorial of California’s 711 fallen warriors from Afghanistan, Iraq, and the war on terror. An hour prior to the ceremony, Gold Star Family members of seven fallen warriors from the San Gabriel Valley had a private viewing of the exhibit accompanied by Chief Phillip Sanchez of the Pasadena Police Department, and U.S. Congresswoman Judy Chu presented each Gold Star Family with a Certificate of Congressional Recognition. Sue Pollard, National Chaplain for Gold Star Mothers, opened the ceremony with an invocation, and Gene Sacco, Past National Commander of the Sons of the American Legion followed
with opening remarks and presided over the ceremony. Quoting Thucydides, Sacco said, “The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet…go out and meet it.” Ed Blecksmith, veteran USMC, Vietnam, and Gold Star father of Marine Second Lieutenant JP Blecksmith, who died in Fallujah, Iraq on Nov. 11th, 2004, spoke about his experiences as a Marine, and as the father of a fallen Marine. After describing Sept. 4, 1967 in Vietnam as “the worst day of my life,” having lost sixteen of his young Marines in battle, Blecksmith went on to say that “nothing prepares you for that moment when the military casualty officer knocks on your door….a piece of your heart is cut out.” Yet, “Do we give up on life?” asked Blecksmith, “or do we honor our sons’ lives by living our lives [with honor], not to
glorify war, but to honor those young men and women who stepped into the breach…to keep our nation free?” Pasadena Chief of Police Phillip Sanchez concluded the spoken portion of the ceremony saying that as the parents of a Special Forces soldier, he and his wife are “profoundly aware of the consequences” of a choice to serve in the military to “protect freedom… protect the vulnerable, and preserve human rights.” Chief Sanchez remarked that as individuals we should “openly express our gratitude daily that there are people willing to put their lives on the line,” and he described the “Remembering Our Fallen” exhibit as “profound and powerful, and in a humble way, peaceful.” The ceremony included several musical tributes by members and alumni of the Flintridge Preparatory School Choir/Oneonta Church Chan-
cel Choir, directed by Steve Hill, and members of the 2d Battalion, 23rd Marines presented the colors. A bagpipe procession and a 21 gun

twice a week. On Thursdays, the teens have discussions about topics, including how to deal with bullies, when to call 911 and how to order a meal at a restaurant. They also work together to plan activities for Saturday mornings. With $15 a month to spend, each group learns how to budget money and work together. Some of the activities in the past have focused on their vocational, socialization, and community service interests. From helping put together bulletin boards at Altadena Elementary School to learning how to apply for jobs at the Santa Anita mall, the teens engage in a wide range of fun activities that help them grow. PCDA and the Teen Club have played a huge role in helping Clipps become the person he is today. By creating a safe and non-judgmental space, the Teen Club helped him build his confidence and gain the skills to make new friends. “I think he’s in his element here,” said Clipps’ mother, Terri, during a speech at the PCDA fundraiser. “It makes the future for him seem very open-that he’s been able to develop so many of the skills while being in the Teen Club that a lot of times we take for granted that our kids are going to get.” The Teen Club is one of PCDA’s many programs and services. The non-profit organization provides professional training and family-based, multidisciplinary services for children with autism and other developmental concerns. Founded in 1997 by Dr. Diane Cullinane and Mimi Winer, the Pasadena-based organization focuses on social-emo-
tional development and family relationships. It also uses the Individual Difference Relationship Floortime-based approach (DIR/ Floortime), which is an approach that meets children at their developmental level and builds on their strengths and interests. Some of their services include feeding and nutritional services, speech and language therapy, social skills groups and more. During the PCDA Harvest Moon fundraiser, Clipps was honored with the PCDA Achievement Award. Accepting the award with three of his friends from his Teen Club group, Clipps gave a speech to an audience of more than 200 guests, thanking the organization and his mother for their support. Parent and designer Carolyn Watson was also given an award. Recognized for her volunteer work and advocacy for the organization, she received the PCDA Humanitarian Award. A mother of an autistic child, Watson is on the development committee and hosts fundraising events for the organization. With her company, Watson Design Group, she designed and created a play yard for the PCDA facility. She was also honored on Saturday with a dedication video from employees and children at PCDA and a special poem written about her. PCDA raised thousands of dollars at their fundraiser through a silent and live auction. The money will be used to support the programs at PCDA and help fund children who need their services. Within the next year, the non-profit hopes to add a creative arts therapist to their team and start a summer camp.

one social skills therapy and then transitioned to a social skills group. At 13 years old, Clipps moved on to join the PCDA Teen Club program. He recently completed the program and now attends Pasadena City College where he participates in the swim team. He hopes to become a police officer when he finishes college. Clipps owes a lot of progress and development to the PCDA Teen Club. Designed for teens with mild to moderate communication issues, the club is a socialization program that aims to help the participants form friendships, build confidence, and learn independence. The program is broken up into subgroups of three to six and meets

Beyond Foster Care What happens to foster youth who "age out" of receiving assistance from the foster care system at the age of 18? The thought of living life as an independent adult can be daunting for a young adult who has the safety net of a loving and supportive family. Imagine the challenges faced by a young person who doesn't have the benefit of any of that. Journey House has launched a "Beyond Foster Care" campaign to raise awareness about how the current foster care system contributes to a pervasive pattern and high rates of young adult homelessness, incarceration, and substance abuse among former foster youth. Staffed by two former foster youth who are currently in college, the mission of the campaign is to raise awareness through advocacy to enhance the lives of former foster youth. Thousands of
foster youth find themselves in dire situations immediately, or shortly after having to strike it out on their own after reaching the age of adulthood. The three-pronged campaign is designed to Educate, Advocate, and Empower this population. It is amazing to hear the personal stories from young adults who have beaten the odds while facing the challenges of becoming independent, as well as those still trying to finding their way. We are very proud of the progress of all of our Journey House "kids" and we are especially excited about more than 60 of these former foster youth who are currently attending a college or university. Journey House is asking for your support to help former foster youth stay in college and complete their degrees. We invite you to attend or support a fundraising dinner at Brookside Golf Course
in Pasadena at 7 p.m. on the evening of Thursday, Nov. 5, 2015. Come and meet some of our young adult "kids" who will be showcasing their progress, accomplishments and sharing stories about their trials and triumphs, as well as aspirations that are becoming reality because of Journey House. For information on how to purchase tickets, donate a silent auction item or to sponsor a Journey House "kid," call (626) 798-9478 or email us at info@journeyhouseyouth. org. Please visit our website for more information about "Beyond Foster Care" at: www. http://journeyhouseyouth.org/. Pasadena-based Journey House is a nonprofit organization established in 1983 with the sole purpose to assist emancipated foster youth to meet their independent living needs.
Free Flu Shot Clinic Oct. 14 at Pasadena Senior Center
Flu season is coming! Flintridge Pharmacy and Medical Supply will sponsor a free flu shot clinic Wednesday, Oct. 14, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Pasadena Senior Center, 85 E. Holly St. The clinic will be free for seniors with Medicare Part B or Medi-Cal with Medicare Part B as their primary insurance; the fee for others, including those with
Medicare supplement plans, will be $25. Appointment cards are available at the Welcome Desk or by calling (626) 795-4331. Responsible for 200,000 hospitalizations and 36,000 deaths nationwide each year, influenza (flu) is caused by a virus that affects the entire body and for seniors may cause pneumonia, dehydra-
tion and other serious complications. Founded in 1959, the Pasadena Senior Center is an independent, nonprofit organization that offers recreational, educational, wellness and social services to people ages 50 and over in a friendly environment. Services are also provided for frail, low-income, and homebound seniors.
that the City wants disclosure of the OIR Report to the maximum extent permitted by law. Before the Court of Appeal decision was issued last Wednesday, the City Attorney’s Office claimed its redacted Report constituted disclosure to the maximum extent permitted by law; the Court of Appeal smacked down that false claim by determining that the City Attorney’s Office over-redacted to protect the police administration. The City Attorney herself told a local newspaper after the Court of Appeal decision came out that she was “pleased” by the decision and awaiting guidance on how much of the Report she can release. It is twofaced for the City Attorney to claim she is pleased while her chief deputy takes steps to appeal the Court of Appeal decision. Consistently with the representations over the last year of the City Attorney and all of the City leadership
that they want disclosure to the maximum extent legally permissible, the only thing the City Attorneys’ Office should be doing is preparing to fight the police union’s probable attempt to appeal the Court of Appeal decision.” Hickambottom said: “The City Attorney’s Office is in a conflicted position on the Court of Appeal decision because it made the redactions that the Court of Appeal criticized as not based on the officers’ privacy interest. While most of the City leadership appears to be supporting the maximum transparency permitted by law, the Court of Appeal decision caught the City Attorney’s Office with its hand in the cookie jar by its over-redactions covering-up criticisms of the City’s police administration. It now has an incentive to appeal the Court of Appeal decision to keep its own questionable conduct from coming out into the open.”

the NAACP’s attorney, Skip Hickambottom, received a copy of a Court of Appeal Order obtain by Rad that allows him to review Appendix A in order to make “the determination whether the City of Pasadena shall petition the California Supreme Court for review of this court’s opinion.” Hickambottom explained: “A petition for review is the method to appeal to the Supreme Court. The Court’s order allows Rad to review Appendix A solely for that purpose.” Gary Moody, President of the local NAACP Chapter, issued a statement blasting the City Attorney’s Office for even exploring an appeal of the decision. “The City Attorney’s Office is out of line in considering appeal. Ever since Judge Chalfant told the City Attorney’s office a year ago to ‘stop playing games,’ every spokesperson for the City – including the City Attorney’s office – has claimed

“It’s our first time in Glendale and the show is promising to be one of the coolest things we’ve ever done. Opera outdoors— there is something magical about it.” So spake Josh Shaw, Co-Founder of Pacific Opera Project. He was right, and not just because of the innate cool factor of placing your opera in a cemetery— in this case, Museum Plaza at Forest Lawn Glendale. The reason Giuseppe Verdi’s Falstaff, as performed by POP, is one of the coolest things they’ve ever done—and we’ve ever seen—is a perfect storm of zany comedy, gut-busting performances, and a great venue. An opera based on William Shakespeare’s classic comedy, The Merry Wives of Windsor, Falstaff revolves around the titular character--also known as "The Fat Knight"--attempting to woo two married women for their husbands' money, and the sweet, prolonged revenge of the "merry

wives." Zeffin Quinn Hollis was brilliant as Falstaff, from his special-effects gut to his over-the-top mannerisms and deep, round voice. On his massive stomach, he carried a good deal of the humor--literally, for many of the Merry Wives' jokes revolved around it! Rebecca Sjowall (Alice Ford), Sharmay Musacchio (Mistress Quickly), and Jessica Mirshak (Meg Page) were lovely, quick-witted, and robust as the Merry Wives, while star-crossed lovers Annie Sherman (Nannetta Ford) and Nadav Hart (Fenton) coaxed giggles and sighs from the audience. Standout Daniel Scofield's performance was intense in its humor---as the jealous husband--and in its passion, causing the audience to humanize the man they came to laugh at. But he was hilarious when he was angry, hunting all over the stage for his wife's wooer, Falstaff. Supertitles projected above the colorful stage kept the audience fully

abreast of the Italian developments on the stage. A sliver of crescent moon kept company through the boughs of a giant oak tree on stage right. A delightful breeze and cool night air drowned out the simmering California heat, and statues from the Mausoleum watched right alongside. For those who think opera consist of four hours of high-pitched, Germanic warbling, POP’s performances will be a shock: a trim two-and-a-half hours packed full of contemporary comedy while keeping true to the original material, proving man—and his sense of humor—hasn’t changed much over the years. So, go laugh it up! POP’s next opera will be Viva la mamma! Nov. 1219, 2015.

GelTech Solutions has launched a drought relief product that is putting the minds of Southern California homeowners at ease. The constant question of, “How can I keep my lawn green in this miserable drought?”, has been answered by the GelTech Solutions product Soil2O. The product has the ability to nourish lawns while dramatically reducing water usage, which is a dream come true for homeowners who are struggling to keep their lawns alive in a the state where water restrictions are tight and little to no rain comes through. GelTech Solutions heard the SoCal struggle and has brought Soil2O to Pasadena to help replenish the city and surrounding areas. GelTech Solutions has been a pioneer in developing eco-friendly products that are beneficial to agriculture, firefighting, landscaping, and residential since 2006. Its innovative water additive products, which include FireIce, Soil2O, and GT-W14, prove to benefit every area it touches as the solutions nourish the environment while dramatically reducing the use of water. Soil2O is a nontoxic formula that saves up to 50 percent of water when quenching the agricultural thirst. The product, which is a cross-linked copolymer, has the ability to improve soil moisture, retain water, and decrease dust from areas with a dry dusty ground. As stated on the company site, the application “is suitable for all types of plants, grasses and soil structures, and is compatible with fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and nematicides.” The GelTech Solutions

product essentially brings dry dead lawns back to life by holding water at the root level to prevent it from going straight through the soil. Buyers simply spray the powdered product, which is pre-mixed with water, with the provided fan nozzle that comes in the starter kit. Customer Richard Bolenbaugh shared his experience with this lawn changing application and said: “It’s been about two weeks since I put the first application of Soil2O on our front lawn. It had been looking sad with brown spots and weak growth in the areas that get full sun… I now see that the lawn is looking much better. The thin areas are filling in and the brown spots are smaller. I’m glad I read the article about your product and ordered it!” Another satisfied customer is Logistics Superin-

We are using a totally Green Product that is proving to become even GREENER as the carbon footprint of our water truck is rapidly diminishing, not to mention the conservation of water in our desert environment of Southern California." With major efforts to protect and preserve the environment, GelTech plans to continue innovating nontoxic cost-effective products that lighten the burden on the eco-system. “We never stop seeking answers to global problems,” said Christle.

He replaces Fran Delach, who has served as interim executive director since February, when Andrea Miller left to become city manager of Covina. “We’re extremely fortunate to have a professional of Phil Hawkey’s caliber and experience as we expand our leadership on regional issues, such as transportation, water and housing,” said Murabito, mayor pro tem of the city of Glendora. “Under the direction of Andrea, Fran and our governing board, the COG has accomplished so much in the past three years, including
development of a comprehensive strategic plan, improved financial stability and a renewed commitment to the Alameda CorridorEast Construction Authority (ACE). Phil is ideally suited to build on all of this.” The SGVCOG is a joint powers authority of 31 cities, several unincorporated communities and three water districts. It is the largest and most diverse sub-regional council of governments in Los Angeles County, encompassing more than 374 square miles and representing more than two million residents. In 1998, the SGVCOG founded the ACE to mitigate the impacts of significant increases in rail traffic over 70 miles of mainline railroad in the San Gabriel Valley. “I am thrilled to join the SGVCOG team and to have the opportunity to work closely with Gene and the governing board on issues that are critical to the wellbeing and quality of life in the San Gabriel Valley,” Hawkey said. Hawkey retired this past summer from the University of La Verne, where
he served as executive vice president, special assistant to the president and, from 2012-2013, interim dean of the university’s college of law. He continues to teach graduate classes in public administration as an assistant professor. Before joining the University, Hawkey was city manager of Pasadena from 1990 to 1998. A native of Ohio, he served as city manager of Toledo from 1986 to 1990 and deputy city manager of Cincinnati from 1982 to 1986. Before then, he served as city administrator in Wooster, Ohio from 1976 to 1979 and city manager in Kettering, Ohio from 1979 to 1982. Hawkey earned a bachelor’s degree in economics from Baldwin-Wallace

Shortly after 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2015, Altadena Sheriff’s Station was notified of a hiker’s dog that had fallen off a cliff in the Las Flores Canyon, on the Sam Merrill Trail, in the Angeles National Forest. A Highland resident was on a hike with her beloved dog, two-year-old Angel, a white Labrador mix, when it disappeared over a steep, jagged rock and large boulder cliff. The owner considered attempting a rescue on her own but reached out to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for help. Due to the steep and dangerous terrain, volunteers from the Altadena Mountain Rescue Team, Montrose Search and Rescue Team, and the Sierra Madre Search and Rescue Team were called. Once on scene, the volunteer team members worked together and successfully located Angel, 400 feet below the cliff, resting perilously on a narrow ridge. Rescuers repelled from above and reached Angel, who was visibly afraid and apprehen-
sive of the rescuers. One of the volunteers offered Angel a piece of beef jerky. Angel immediately came to liking the volunteer and the beef jerky and was safely placed into a specially designed dog harness, allowing the rescuers to lower themselves and the dog another 200 feet to the canyon bottom. Luckily, Angel suffered only a small scratch on her nose and appeared to be in amazingly good health. The owner, who was reunited with Angel at the trail head, was extremely grateful to the all-volunteer rescue teams for their amazing efforts to rescue her dog.

CDPH Warning Not to Eat Cucumbers Distributed by Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce
California Department of Public Health (CDPH) State Health Officer Dr. Karen Smith Sept. 23rd warned people not to eat garden cucumbers imported from Mexico and distributed by Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce because these cucumbers may be contaminated with Salmonella. CDPH is currently aware of 285 individuals in 27 states infected with Salmonella serotype Poona, with 51 of these case-patients being reported from 17 California counties, including one death. Illnesses continue to be reported. CDPH has been working closely with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local health departments across the state to assess the scope of this outbreak and identify possible causes. Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce of San Diego, CA initiated a voluntary recall of their garden cucum-

File your DBA with us at filedba.com at the Rose Bowl Arcadia City Notices on Sept. 26 An estimated 15,000 community members will come together for the American Heart Association’s Heart Walk in Pasadena. The annual 5K walk encourages healthy habits while raising funds to support the AHA’s research and education efforts to fight heart disease and stroke – the nation’s number one and number five killers. Heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases claim the lives of more than 831,000 men, women, and children every year. The Heart Walk is an annual tradition that brings the community together to raise awareness and critical funds to fight these diseases. The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association (AHA/ ASA) believe that everyone deserves to live a healthier, longer life. Life is why AHA/ ASA is committed to the mission of building healthier lives, free of heart disease and stroke, through cardiovascular research funding, patient care initiatives, health advocacy and community education. Heart disease and stroke survivors, families who lost loved ones to cardiovascular disease, and individuals who have made lifestyle changes for their
heart and brain health will be in attendance, including: -Denise Donatelli, three-time Grammy nominee who lost her son to heart disease. Denise will sing the national anthem. -Ronny Ruriaf, NBA star who was diagnosed with heart disease two days after signing a rookie contract with the L.A. Lakers. -Jade Brambila, an 11-year-old girl born with a rare congenital heart defect who is now thriving, thanks to lifesaving open-heart surgery (her mother speaks Spanish). -Amber Waller, a woman who collapsed from sudden cardiac arrest but was saved by CPR three months after losing her mother to the same condition. -Papa Joe Aviance, who lost 250 pounds by walking regularly and improving his eating habits. -Maria Acereto, a young woman whose rare congenital heart defect was discovered 23 years after she was born (she speaks Spanish). The Heart Walk will start at 8 a.m. at the Rose Bowl on Sept. 26. The Rose Bowl is located on 1001 Rose Bowl Dr. in Pasadena. For more information, visit www.HeartWalkLA.org or call (213) 291-7094.

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.

Azusa Unified Receives $70,000 Grant for Drought-Tolerant Initiative Two Azusa Unified elementary schools will soon be sprouting rich, colorful water-wise vegetation and drought tolerant succulents and shrubbery, thanks to a $70,000 water conservation grant provided by the San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District. The Paramount and Mountain View Elementary Schools Landscaping Water Conservation Project, a pilot program that emphasizes conservation and education, seeks to reduce water use by as much as 50-70 percent, educate students about the importance of water efficiency and encourage AUSD families to consider launching their own drought tolerant landscaping initiatives. “This is such a remarkable and important program to bring to the District to promote conservation while beautifying our schools,” said AUSD Superintendent Dr. Linda Kaminski. “We are deeply
appreciative of the San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District for their generosity in providing the grant that will allow us to better serve our community.” The SGVMWD grant will be divided among the two elementary schools, with the majority going to renovating Paramount’s street-facing landscape, replacing the grass lawn with a variety of water-wise flora. Mountain View will use its share of the grant to enhance its already-existing succulent garden. The vegetation is being selected as much for its aesthetic beauty as its droughttolerant nature. Evergreen shrubs such as the spoon yucca, blue elf, dwarf olive and compacta will provide various shades of green; white, red and blue-flowering germander sage, blueblossom, blue oat and deer grass and bougainvillea are colorful perennials; and Mexican Palo Verde and Desert Willow trees will sup-
ply shade. The pilot program will also replace aging irrigation systems at Paramount and Mountain View with new, water-efficient irrigation equipment. The San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District works extensively with community partners, including the City of Azusa, to develop pilot programs to meet the needs of customers while complying with the California state emergency drought conservation mandates, which require all cities and water districts to reduce their water consumption by at least 25 percent from 2014. “Water conservation is an important concept that our students can learn and begin practicing at a young age,” said AUSD Board President Yolanda RodriguezPeña. “We are committed to working with our community partners to make sure we are leading by example.”
The Los Angeles County Office of Education announced on Friday the 16 County Teachers of the Year, who represent the best among the 72,000 K-12 educators of our county. The top 16 were presented by LACOE Superintendent Arturo Delgado on Sept. 18 at the Hilton Universal City as outstanding educators who have served with praiseworthy distinction. Judged as the county’s top public school teachers for this academic year, they will serve as standard-bearers for the teaching profes-
sion countywide. They were selected by judging panels from a contestant field of 75 districtlevel teachers of the year. The top 16 are comprised of 14 women and two men. They represent the profession’s elite from a total pool of 72,000 teachers countywide. The competition was organized by the Los Angeles County Office of Education and presented in partnership with California Credit Union and other sponsors. The teachers received $1,000 honorariums
during the ceremony. Now in its 34th year, the L.A. County TOY competition is the largest in the state and is part of the nation’s oldest and most prestigious honors contest for school teachers. The number of county winners — 16 — is determined by program rules based on the total number of teachers in the county. The county winners automatically advance, with other county titlists from around the state, to the California Teachers of the Year competition this fall. The state is scheduled to announce its five (5) cowinners in November. But only one (1) of those state co-winners will be chosen to represent California in the National Teacher of the Year contest next spring. The L.A. County competition called for essays, lesson plans, resumes, letters of reference and interviews. At all levels, TOY contests are designed to focus public attention on teaching excellence, and to honor educators who have demonstrated exemplary dedication, compelling classroom practices, positive accomplishments and professional commitment.

Alhambra Unified School District: Concentrated Learning By May S. Ruiz The city of Alhambra, about eight miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles, started out as a small residential town when it was first established in 1903. Today it has grown into a bustling community where businesses and residents co-exist amicably. The Alhambra Unified School District (AUSD) encompasses 13 elementary, three comprehensive secondary, and two alternative high schools servicing Alhambra, and adjacent Rosemead, Monterey Park, and San Gabriel. It is a middlesize district with close to
18,000 students under the leadership of the superintendent, Dr. Laura TellezGagliano. Assistant Superintendent Dr. Gary Gonzales says the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), a critical component of the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), designates Alhambra as having 72 percent unduplicated count in English learners, socio-economically disadvantaged, and foster youth. Because of this, the district is able to get a supplemental and concentration grant which enables administrators to develop programs, hire teachers and teacher assistants as well as noncertified certificated personnel in their various schools, to provide extra education. According to Brad Walsh, Director for Secondary Learning,

AUSD offers four California Partnership Academies – International Business, Business and Technology, Medical Careers, and Green Construction. Students who take classes in any of these academies get real life experience as they practice what they learn in the classroom made possible through partnerships with the business community. Graduates not only receive a high school diploma, they leave school with higher employability skills. AUSD is currently developing its Dual Immersion Initiative which it will implement in a pilot program in two elementary schools during the 2015-2016 school year. Mandarin and Spanish will be offered as early as kindergarten, preparing students for a global society and economy. An open enrollment procedure for Honors and Advanced Placement (AP) courses started during the 2007-2008 school year. AUSD offers 122 AP classes at their three comprehensive secondary schools – Alhambra, Mark Keppel, and San Gabriel High Schools. An AP course in Human Ge-
Judson Internation proudly provides:
· High quality Christian Education, TK-12 · Unique history-based International Christian Curriculum · Family-like, nurturing environment · Exploratory learning using “real books” · Excellent education at an affordable price · Small classroom settings · Culturally enriching learning environment · I-20 student visas to international students
ography is available as early as 9th grade. A Special Education Coll a b o ra t i o n Model from 8th grade through high school supports students with learning disabilities. Teachers and credentialed facilitators help these individuals keep up with class work and assist students in the classroom. Partnerships with community colleges, including Cerritos, Citrus, Rio Hondo, Mount San Antonio and PCC give AUSD high school students an edge in college. Through classes offered on their high school campus, they earn credits towards an Associate or Bachelor’s degree. All AUSD teachers have been involved in intensive professional development for three years to get their students up-to-speed on the Common Core curriculum. The recently-released results of the new standardized tests indicated that all their hard work have paid off. The district’s scores showed they outpaced county and state levels. Fifty-eight percent of students met or exceeded county and state levels in ELA (English Language arts) while 50 percent met or exceeded county and state levels in Math. According to Dr. Gonzales, “This new standardized assessment is completely different from the tests given in the past; it’s not a pen and paper test, it’s all online. It’s more than a multiple choice exam where students can answer with
some guesswork; it’s analytical. It forces them to be critical thinkers – a great way to prepare for college and careers.” “College and career preparation at AUSD begins even at the elementary school level,” said Judy Huffaker, Nutrition & Career Technical Education Specialist at Alhambra High School. According to Ms. Huffaker, AUSD college counselors invite 8th graders to attend a day-long event that introduces them to College and Career Readiness. Students start 9th grade with the mindset that they will be going to college; they get acquainted with an online process called Career Cruising. This Oct. 15, 2015, approximately 3,000 senior students and parents will be on the San Gabriel High School campus for a College Fair. They will meet with about 70 college representatives and attend workshops on planning for college, financial literacy, difference between the ACT and SAT exams. AUSD’s Career Center conducts college tours at local universities (UC, Cal State, and other private institutions). Counselors hold workshops on resume writing, preparing the personal statement, and available scholarships; they mount Cash for College events to
assist the 68 percent socioeconomically disadvantaged students in the district qualify for financial aid through FAFSA. The Alhambra school district has an impressive academic record. In 2015, it produced nine National Merit semi-finalists; annually, 43 percent of seniors meet the A-G requirements. Graduates go on to some of the most prestigious universities in the country, including Harvard, Yale, Columbia, USC, Cal Berkeley, and Stanford. Additionally, students attend many local colleges and universities like Cal Poly Pomona, Occidental, Azusa Pacific, Cal State Los Angeles, and Whittier College. So while the recent state-administered exams showed there is still a gap in academic skills between AUSD’s Asian and Latino students, that divide is narrowing. Administrators are working feverishly to put in place action plans and services to close that learning difference.
