El Nino-Fueled October to Feature More Rainfall, Storms for Southwest
COMPLIMENTARY COPY VOLUME 19, NO. 42
‘Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious’ Drought Relief Expected BY TERRY MILLER
Although the rains may be a little way off, scientists are reminding us to not take El Nino for granted. Scene like this clean up in Sierra Madre a few years ago will become common in California - File Photo by Terry Miller
Duarte Council Approves Route for 'Car-Free' Street Event
The extended drought, excessive heat of this summer with very little relief, and inevitable wildfires have drained California’s natural resources … and now, scientists are warning us that El Niño is inevitable. Be well advised, we had better get out our best Mary Poppins’ brolly in preparation for the coming season. Rainfall opportunities this week across the Southwest may be the beginning of more substantial drought relief heading into the winter as an El Niño-fueled weather pattern takes shape in the region. Impacts from the rainfall
middle to late week across the Southwest will generally be hit-or-miss drought relief opportunities; the best chances will perhaps hold off until this weekend. Benefits from the rainfall should largely outweigh the threat for localized flooding, especially across the more mountainous terrain of the region. Initially, a few showers and thunderstorms will dot the southern half of California mid-week “There’s no longer a possibility that El Niño wimps out at this point. It’s too big to

Azusa Unified to Host 2015 College Night Oct. 27
BY JOE TAGLIERI The Duarte City Council on Tuesday approved a tentative route for an upcoming regional event promoting the onset of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Gold Line commuter train. Scheduled for June 26, Metro-sponsored Golden Streets will require street closures on Highland Avenue at Duarte Road, Central Avenue, Crestfield Drive and Huntington Drive. In addition to com-
memorating the commencement of Gold Line service, Golden Streets seeks to encourage a "carfree" lifestyle centered around public transit and alternative means of transportation such as bicycles. The "open-street" event will close roads to cars, allowing pedestrians, skaters and cyclists free reign on thoroughfares usually dominated by automobile traffic. SEE PG. 16

Man Returned to US Following His Arrest Detectives Investigate Discovery of Human and Extradition in Guatemala Bones in Angeles In Connection With 1990 Murder and National Forest Attempted Murder in Los Angeles County A former Los Angeles man sought by detectives with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for murder and attempted murder was returned to the United States Friday following a joint fugitive investigation in Los Angeles and Central America, announced David L. Bowdich, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office, and Sheriff Jim McDonnell of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD). Santos Lopez Corado, 62, a former resident of Los Angeles and native of Guatemala, was arrested in 2013 in Guatemala following a joint investigation by detectives with the LASD; the FBI’s Fugitive Task Force in Los Angeles; and the FBI’s Transnational Anti-Gang Task Force (TAG) in Guatemala. TAG investigators arrested Corado in January 2013 in Jutiapa, Guatemala without incident. He was subsequently transferred to
Guatemala City and held by authorities there during extradition proceedings until yesterday. According to investigators, the LASD conducted an investigation into the murder of an individual associated with Corado and the attempted murder of Corado’s ex-wife in 1990. Detectives identified Corado as the person responsible and determined that he had fled to Central America. On Feb. 17, 2012, LASD detectives obtained a nobail arrest warrant for Corado after he was charged by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office (LACDA) with murder and attempted murder. When detectives received a tip that Corado had fled the country, the FBI’s Fugitive Task Force in Los Angeles was asked to assist in locating and returning him to the United States for prosecution by the LACDA. Corado’s specific location in Guatemala was unknown
until LASD Detectives received a tip indicating Corado was driving a mini-bus in Jutiapa, Guatemala. After Corado was located in Guatemala, the United States requested Corado’s provisional arrest and extradition. Corado was provisionally arrested in Guatemala in January 2013. Officials in Guatemala surrendered Corado for extradition on Oct. 9, 2015. Corado was escorted to the United States by members of the Fugitive Task Force and turned over the custody of LASD detectives Friday evening after landing at Los Angeles International Airport. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office will prosecute Corado on the state’s charges. The TAG in Guatemala is assigned to the FBI’s Legal Attaché in San Salvador and is comprised of FBI Agents and police officers with the Guatemala National Civil Police. The

City School District's All Schools Spelling Bee. Later, she graduated with honors from Arroyo High School and then earned the coveted title of Co-Valedictorian. It has been claimed that the district's teachers complain, "The Bee is too much work for us!" That claim is absolutely absurd. When I served as the District's Bilingual/English Language Teacher on Special Assignment, I was in charge of preparing the word lists, shipping them out to the schools and, as I recall, we not only had the Spelling Bee in English, but also a Spelling Bee in Spanish. I never, ever received any complaint from any classroom teacher or principal. The work is done by the students, their parents, and often within their extended family. All interested parties, who might wish to defend the Bee, are urged to attend the next monthly El Monte City School District Board Meeting on Monday, Oct. 19 at New Lexington School, located at 10410 Bodger Street, El Monte, CA 91733. Due west of Santa Anita, just before Garvey. Our El Monte City School Board only meets once a month. Their meetings always begin at 5 p.m. and seem to end by 6:45 p.m. or 7 p.m. (At least judging by the last two meetings I attended.) You must arrive early to be able to address the Board--this is only done at the beginning of the Board Meeting. Also, legally, you are not required to state your name, nor give your address! Our students deserve the best--and the Spelling Bee is part and partial of the best. -David Siegrist, "Defender of the Bee" EL MONTE

Along with many other residents who live in our K-8 school district, I am majorly concerned about your unwise and hasty decision to just "Kill the Bee." I find it absolutely unacceptable to do this because in so many ways your action is clearly prejudicial to so many of our students. The Bee provides native English Speakers with a host of benefits. The children learning English as a second language benefit even more. Why is this so? The Spelling Bee is not just the spelling of words, but is far more than that. The Bee provides the students essential knowledge and academic competencies, which lead to high level performance in their studies: 1. The correct spelling of hundreds of words. 2. The connotative and denotative meanings of hundreds of words in meaningful sentences. 3. Word origins and "root words." 4. Prefixes and suffixes. 5. Over 1,001 English/ Spanish cognates, such as "abandon" and "abandonar," "bank" and "banco," "uniform" and "uniforme," and so on and so on. 6. Regular plural nouns and words with irregular plural forms, such as "deer," "moose," "sheep," and so on. 7. Proper pronunciation of hundreds of words 8. Proper punctuation 9. Sentence structures: simple and compound 10. Proper capitalization 11. And so much more-ALL BASIC FOUNDATIONS
TO SUCCESS IN COMMON CORE'S CHALLENGING LANGUAGE ARTS in reading with comprehension and writing clearly and precisely. Furthermore, there are eight Life Lessons that the Spelling Bee participants learn, and these are as follows: 1. "Appreciating life beyond technology," (Research increasingly shows that using computers, ipads, text messaging substantially reduces the ability of many users to spell correctly. 2. "Public celebration of intelligence, discipline, and knowledge,” 3. "Modeling hard work and perseverance," (It was Jaime Escalante who said, "Learning well requires this--without it, real learning will not occur.”) 4. "Public recognition of the value of studying"-for participants and audience. 5. "Spotlighting interesting and difficult words, such as pneumonia, Phoenix, syndrome, facility, ensign, antediluvian, etc." 6. "Reminding everyone what unbridled enthusiasm looks like,” 7. "Learning grace and humor under pressure," 8. "Learning that not everyone wins all the time, but that just by being in the Bee, all participants and even the attendees are winners.” I offer just one of many examples of how the Bee has rewarded El Monte City School District students for so many years. My own next-door neighbor, Vivian, whose first language is Vietnamese, was learning English as a second language; yet, she was able to win in her school's Bee and then proceeded to win first place in the El Monte

Smart Group Decisions

examined to ensure it is really the best one. After an idea has been identified, take time to argue why it is a bad one. Think of all the reasons why it wouldn’t work and the havoc it may cause. Seeing the idea from a different angle helps the group evaluate the merits of it before deciding to move forward. Quiet the Leader: Sometimes team members sensor their own opinions and simply follow the lead of their supervisor. This diminishes the effectiveness of group decision making. So, if you’re a supervisor make it a point to be quiet and allow ideas to come from your team. To help elicit their ideas ask your group questions to get them talking. Combine Solutions: Rather than just settle on
While Others Play, Work on Your Goal By Laura wilcox

Workplace decisions are often made by a group rather than an individual. While we’re told, “two heads are better than one,” there can be drawbacks that make group decisions ineffective. Here are some tips for improved group decision making. Individual Brainstorming: In a normal brainstorming session members shout out ideas but the risk is that not all ideas are given equal consideration. The twist on this is for people to silently write down their ideas on a piece of paper and then go around the room sharing them one at a time until all ideas are out on the table. This allows for each idea to be heard and considered. Counter Argument: Even a great idea should be

one idea, work to incorporate the best two ideas together. Consider the merits of both ideas in an attempt to combine them toward an optimal decision. Pair Up: In sets of twos, have team members brainstorm and discuss ideas with each other. Then after a reasonable amount of time, have them share their ideas with the group. Now, the group can discuss all of the ideas and decide which one is worth pursuing. Heather Backstrom is an executive coach, leadership development consultant and speaker.

The Flying Cats A flying squirrel is a strange, nocturnal squirrel that glides by means of skin folds between its hind and forelegs, using its flattened tail as a rudder. From a 60 foot perch, the flying squirrel can soar as far as 160 feet. But, they really don't fly. They glide. Flying fish are 7- to 12inch, cigar-shaped, warm water marine fish with blunt snouts and heavy diamond shaped scales. Some are two winged and others are four winged. They have no commercial value. Flying fish actually do not fly. By vibrating their tails they work up enough momentum to leave the water and glide through the air by means of the wing-like fins. They often achieve a speed of 35 miles an hour. They "fly" primari-
ly to escape from predatory fish and can stay up only a few seconds. So, they really don't fly. They just kind of jump. Cats can be large, wild, carnivorous mammals as well as domestic pets. Generally speaking, all cats have lithe, muscular bodies that are sleekly trim. While their size range is wide, all cats have legs moderately long in proportion to their bodies. They walk softly on their toes and have long, sharp claws that are retractile into their foot pads. Most cats are good climbers but they do not fly. I have cats that fly. I have 38 flying cats. Yes, I do. Well, I had 38 but some have flown away. Actually, my flying cats are like the squirrels and the fish. They
don't really fly. But, the 38 cats to which I refer are related to time and we all know how that flies. You see, these 38 are pictures of cats on the pages of my calendar. I seem to turn the pages so quickly. January with three little kittens in a basket suddenly turns to March with two more grabbing at a kite string, to May with romping in a flower garden. And now October with a gorgeous black cat sitting on a pumpkin. So the time flies and thus my flying cats. The 38 will fly away faster than I can comprehend and before I know it, January will come again with a new provision of flying cats. They really don't fly but, sitting on the pages of a calendar, they seem to.
SOMETHING MUST BE DONE FOR MR. TAGLIERI Dear Managing Editor, I want to share with you my congratulations for Joe’s excellent, tireless, determined reporting on Arcadia and in particular the USFIA/Gemcoin fraud case, the involvement of John Wuo and the cause of the victims. I also want to commend Tom [sic] Miller. Copied below is my recent message to Joe. I am particularly proud to know that his reporting is one of the reasons that the group of victims found a voice and a champion leading to the raid on USFIA and hopefully the downfall of Steve Chen and his associates. I hope they receive some restitution. While it’s hard to feel good about John Wuo’s resignation and troubles, he did it to himself. Without Joe’s reporting the lies may have continued indefinitely and perhaps no one would have questioned him further. That’s what happens for the powerful, they are assumed to be truthful and they get breaks. But Joe stuck with it while the lies mounted and eventually swept John Wuo out of office. A free, vigorous, probative press is vital for a healthy democracy. It can be a force for good. In this case, that effort was led by Joe Taglieri. -Tim Burch

Dear Editor: The end of September 2014 we moved from Monrovia to Denver. A strong box was left in the driveway at Sunset P1. near Foothill Blvd. The strong box contained a gold bracelet that was given to me by my son, a pilot during the Vietnam War. I have had the bracelet for over 5 0 years and I prized it very highly. If anybody who reads this knows anything about the bracelet I would like some correspondence, possibility it was pawned, there was no current address in the box. The papers have all been replaced, but the bracelet can never be replaced, I realize this is a long shot, but I am willing to try anything. - Anna Belle Johanson

READERS PAY TRIBUTE TO BOB BARTLETT The man that built the modern Monrovia – Thanks, Mayor Bartlett. -John Via MonroviaWeekly. com
Bob Bartlett was more than a great mayor, he was a man who could see potential in an obstacle, he was a man you could always go to for advice. Bob was truly a great all-around guy and he always had that great big smile. -Greg Prohaska Via MonroviaWeekly. com I met Mayor Bartlett once at a swim meet. He was friendly and gracious with his time. My dad was a low-level city employee at the time, but Mayor Bartlett knew exactly who he was and let my dad introduce me to “The Mayor of Monrovia” like he was close, personal friend. That kindness will never be forgotten. -Courtney MONROVIA
I will miss saying hello to Mr. Mayor at the theatre. He always acted like he did not deserve praise. Very humble. But he changed this city more than most people know! -Marie Greenwood Via Monrovia Weekly’s Facebook
One of the nicest men I’ve met. He really made Monrovia what it is today. I moved away but still have family here -Sandra Wade Via MonroviaWeekly. com
I have known Bob Bartlett for many, many years, not as a resident of Monrovia but as an amazing dynamic leader in numerous regional organizations like the Southern California Association of Governments and Metrolink. I deeply cherish my many interactions with Bob. Unlike some politicians who take on airs when they become elected officials, Bob was always so very approachable, gracious and giving of his time and energy to anyone that asked. Bob’s passing is not only a tremendous loss for Monrovia, but for Southern California. Rest in peace my friend. -Jeff Via MonroviaWeekly. com

Kris’ life is well-documented - how she lived it to the fullest, finding ways to help others through various organizations (Monrovia Weekly 9-10-15). Kris left a lasting impression on me with her involvement of a project I had been working on for several years. The celebration of the life of Lt. Col. Allen Allensworth, whose death was surrounded in mixed opinions and heavy emotions due to the various factors surrounding his death. Kris held a meeting a meeting in her home and team member Professor Susie Ling from Pasadena City College helped with a slide presentation about Lt. Col. Allen Allensworth’s role in history and Monrovia in particular. The event was held on Sept 14., 2014, at Monrovia Historical Museum. The heat in September is legendary - temperatures hovered around 105 that day. Kris caught my eye as she helped prepare for the event, cleaning and dusting. Doing all the things to help make the event a success. The local media, including Monrovia Weekly and the Pasadena Star News attended, just to name a few. Michael Antonovich, Mayor of L.A. County recognized Monrovia Historical Museum for its special tribute to Lt. Col. Allen Allensworth on Jan. 27, 2015. But the help of Kris Mariconda will always stay in my mind. -Ralph R.

2 Orange County Men Charged With Conspiring to Provide Material Support to ISIL New Indictment Adds Bank Fraud and Financial Aid Fraud Charges Two Orange County men who were indicted in June 2015 for conspiracy to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) have been indicted for additional charges involving bank fraud and financial aid fraud. Nader Elhuzayel, 25, and Muhanad Badawi, 24, both of Anaheim, California, were named in a superseding indictment returned today by a federal grand jury in Santa Ana. Elhuzayel is charged in the indictment with 25 counts of bank fraud, and Badawi is charged with one count of federal financial aid fraud. According to the first superseding indictment, during April and May of this year, Elhuzayel obtained cash through a scheme to defraud three different banks, by depositing stolen checks into his personal checking accounts and then withdrawing cash at Orange County branch offices and ATMs. Co-defendant
Badawi is charged with using his federal financial aid to purchase a plane ticket for Elhuzayel to travel to Turkey. The first superseding indictment reiterates the previous charges against Elhuzayel and Badawi. Both men were charged in count one with conspiring to provide material support to ISIL, in count two Elhuzayel was charged with attempting to provide material support to ISIL, and in count three Badawi was charged with aiding and abetting an attempt to provide material support to ISIL. The time of the alleged fraud and the time of the terrorist activity coincide. In June, both men entered pleas of not guilty to all charges, and they have been held in federal custody without bond since that time. Both men were arrested on May 21, 2015, when Elhuzayel attempted to board a plane at Los Angeles International Airport to

travel to Turkey to join ISIL. The affidavit in support of the criminal complaint, filed on May 22, outlined a scheme in which Badawi and Elhuzayel used social media to discuss ISIL and terrorist attacks, expressed a desire to die as martyrs, and made arrangements for Elhuzayel to leave the United States to join ISIL. In recorded conversations, Badawi and Elhuzayel “discussed how it would be a blessing to fight for the cause of Allah, and to die in the battlefield,” and they referred to ISIL as “we,” according to the complaint affidavit. If convicted on the charges in the first superseding indictment, Elhuzayel faces a statutory maximum sentence of 30 years imprisonment on each bank fraud count, Badawi faces a statutory maximum sentence of 5 years imprisonment on the financial aid fraud count, and both men each face a statutory maximum sentence of 15 years in prison on each count of providing material support to ISIL. Trial is scheduled for June 7, 2016, before the Honorable David O. Carter, United States District Judge, at the United States Courthouse in Santa Ana, California. The investigation in this case was conducted by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in Orange County, which includes the following agencies: the Anaheim Police Department, the California Highway Patrol, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, the Orange County Intelligence Assessment Center, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations, the United States Secret Service, IRS – Criminal Investigation, the City of Orange Police Department, the Irvine Police Department, and the Buena Park Police Department. An indictment contains allegations that a defendant has committed a crime. Every defendant is presumed to be innocent until and unless proven guilty in court.

Governor Signs Holden’s Bill to Eliminate the Achievement Gap By Starting Teens on College and Career Pathways
- Photo by Terry Miller
After years of legislative effort, Assembly Majority Leader Chris Holden’s landmark legislation to increase college opportunity for thousands of California high school students will go into effect January 1. Governor Brown signed Holden’s AB 288 College and Career Access Pathways Act to allow high school students, especially those in underserved communities, greater access to college courses and career tech classes at both high school and college campuses. “We need to expand opportunities for a broad range of students or lose our competitive edge with other states and other nations,” explained Assemblymember Holden. “Concurrent enrollment can motivate students who aren't on the college track and provide opportunities for students who want to get started in their careers earlier by working towards a degree or certificate in career tech-
nical education. Even those who've struggled in high school classes can rise to the challenge, motivated by the chance to try on the role of a college student.” AB 288 creates a partnership between high schools and community colleges to remove barriers that historically kept underserved students from enrolling in concurrent enrollment programs. It will accelerate the number of credits students can take from 11 to 15 and give students limited priority in enrollment. It will also allow better access to career tech courses that may not be available at the high school level. “This bill is an example of how K-12 and higher education institutions can work together on a local level to solve persistent problems— in this case, how to create better pathways to college and career,” stated the Governor in his signing message. The measure was spon-
sored by California Community College Chancellor Brice W. Harris: “These partnerships will help high school students achieve college and career readiness and avoid remedial coursework when they begin their college careers,” Harris said. “This is critical because students who arrive at community colleges academically prepared and with some college credits already under their belt have a greater chance of achieving their goals.” “AB 288 will help ignite a sense of purpose and drive in high school students that is essential in today’s fastpaced world, and ensure that they are better qualified for college and for the jobs of our state’s ever-changing economy,” said Assembly Republican Leader Kristin Olsen, of Modesto, who jointly authored the bill. “I applaud the stakeholders involved in the development of this important bill, and thank the Governor for signing it into law.”

Class Action Against Pomona School District Alleges Abuse of Students With Disabilities Suit Alleges Autistic Students Suffered Cuts, Bruises, and Even Lost Teeth Disability Rights Legal Center (DRLC), with Pillsbury serving as pro bono co-counsel, has filed a class action lawsuit against Pomona California Unified School District and the Pomona Special Education Local Planning Area (SELPA) for “willful failure to adequately report, document, respond to and prevent” physical and emotional abuse of two, and possibly more, students with autism who were under their care. The class action, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, contends that district officials, teachers, classroom aides and health officers violated the Americans with Disabilities Act, the plaintiffs’ constitutional rights, California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act and other statutes through a pattern of physical abuse and cover-up occurring since at least August 2013. In addition to monetary damages, the suit seeks injunctive relief to stop further abuse of the plaintiffs and other students, and to enact policies designed to ensure all students receive full and equal access to district facilities, programs, services and
activities as required by law, thereby improving the quality of education they have a right to receive. The named plaintiffs are 9- and 12-year-old boys whose autism severely restricts their ability to communicate; other students with disabilities are thought to have experienced abuse as well. According to the suit, students suffered scratches, lacerations, bruises and even lost teeth, which school officials failed to report adequately or to explain to parents and to prevent from recurring. Inquiries by the named plaintiffs’ families were met with delayed responses from the school district or, in some cases, no response at all—a direct violation of California law requiring immediate reporting of instances of suspected child abuse. Reportedly, on one occasion, two students without disabilities witnessed a classroom aide push the 12-year-old plaintiff against a wall and slap him across the face. In addition to Pomona Unified School District and SELPA, defendants include the district superintendent and director of Special Edu-

cation, special education coordinator, principals of schools attended by the two named plaintiffs, teachers, instructional aides and a health services assistant. “California law has long imposed on school authorities a duty to supervise at all times the conduct of children on school grounds and to enforce those rules and regulations necessary for their protection,” the complaint notes. “The school district is liable for injuries which result from a failure of its officers and employees to use ordinary care in these respects.” “The defendants, notably those who interacted on a daily basis with the students, preyed on them because of their disabilities, which is disability discrimination, and also because these children could not adequately report what was happening to them at the schools,” said Christine
Scheuneman, a litigation partner in Pillsbury’s Los Angeles office. “The district did not properly train or oversee abusive staff, and it conspired to cover up what was transpiring with these vulnerable students,” said DRLC attorney Elizabeth Eubanks. Eubanks continued to explain that “parents of the two named plaintiffs were given the runaround or were rebuffed in their attempts to obtain meaningful information, including why their sons were returning home with bruises and scratches on their faces, necks and bodies. Eventually both boys began to display signs of emotional disturbance and trauma, such as excessive crying and loss of previously learned skills, and they have been prescribed anxiety and sleep aid medication.” On Oct. 8, 2015, Pomona Unified School District
issued an official statement through Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources, Darren Knowles: “We care deeply about each one of our students, including our students with special needs, and remain steadfastly dedicated to ensuring their safety and well-being. We take very seriously any allegation against Pomona Unified staff and have zero tolerance for misconduct that violates the trust and safety of our students and Christine Scheuneman - Courtesy Photo families.

My Masterpieces 2015: Pasadena Museum of History story by MAY S. RUIZ photos by salim moore Brad Macneil, Education Program Coordinator at the Pasadena Museum of History (PMH), is readying once more for this year’s My Masterpieces Program. Every Tuesday and Thursday, beginning this month until the end of the school year, he and his team of volunteers will be welcoming 4th graders from all the public schools in Pasadena for a two-hour art class and activity at the Fenyes Mansion. According to Mr. Macneil, this program originated from a pilot test collaboration among the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD), Pasadena Educational Foundation (PEF), and different cultural institutions, with input from teachers. He said, “It was important that we involved the teachers.

Students also complete a lesson in class to prepare them for the field trip and learn some basics in art education. During their visit, they learn

But the organization could use more volunteers to help keep it running. Volunteers can be college-age or older and will lead tours Tuesday through Friday. Anyone who has patience, enthusiasm, a sense of humor, and is interested in volunteering can call PMH at (626) 577-1660. According to Jennifer Olson, District Arts Education Coordinator for PUSD, My Masterpieces started during the 2008-2009 school year. It began serving only four schools, then expanded by four to five schools annually until eventually all of Pasade-
na’s 18 schools became part of it. It aims not only to provide arts education and a cultural experience for all children, but also to help them feel at home at any of the arts organizations in their community. They found that so many students in the Pasadena Unified don’t usually go to museums with their families because there are too many barriers including cost and transportation. This program removes those impediments and invites all Pasadena families to experience the arts in their community. A class visit to the Fenyes Mansion leaves a truly lasting impression in the minds of young students. According to Mr. Macneil, several of PMH’s Junior Docents (7th and 8th graders in Pasadena public and private schools giving tours to 3rd graders in the PUSD) first saw the mansion during their My Masterpieces Program visit in 4th grade. And it was what encouraged them to later become Junior JU Docents. TheSPasadena Museum T OL is “History of History’s S motto Matters. Help usD!Pass it On.” The My Masterpieces program breathes life into that adage.

Azusa Unified Honors More Than 180 Employees for Service
Duarte Approves Way for Regional Event Promoting Metro Gold Line Continued from page 1
Now that the council has chosen a local route, event organizers Bike SGV and the city of South Pasadena will submit the proposal to Metro for final approval, according to a report to the council by Parks and Recreation Director Cesar Monsalve. The staff-recommended route approved Tuesday, however, hinges on neighboring Irwindale's participation in the Golden Streets event. "Staff recommendation is contingent on the City of Irwindale's decision to not only proceed with their route to connect to the City of Duarte's route but also their willingness to complete traffic controls for the areas along the south side of Central Ave that is in the City of Irwindale, between Bradbourne Ave and Crestfield Dr," Monsalve's report explains. "Staff has been in contact with City of Irwindale staff and they have indicated that they are exploring other options to connect the route and there is a
possibility that they will not be able to agree on a functional connection." "Metro staff was very clear: the route has to connect, otherwise it can't be one event," Bike SGV board member Wesley Reutimann told the council Sept. 22. Monsalve also reported that "Bike SGV has informed staff that if it is decided at some point in the next few weeks that the route connection cannot be completed by Irwindale then Metro will be alerted that Duarte will be the event terminus." If Duarte ends up being the end of the line for Golden Streets – which is tentatively set to link Duarte with the festivities of regional neighbors including South Pasadena, San Marino, Pasadena, Arcadia and Monrovia – the city staff recommendation is that the event terminate at the Gold Line station located across the street from the City of Hope medical facility at Duarte Road and Highland Avenue.
City staff members have suggested "a hub ... be located on the City of Hope campus to access the lawn area of Pioneer Park for festival style events," the report states. Funding for Golden Streets comes from a $2 million allocation from Metro for events. Openstreets festivities have taken place throughout the county over the last few years, a notable example being CicLAvia in Pasadena and various sections of Los Angeles. If the route approved Tuesday ends up coming to fruition, Duarte's share of the event cost is estimated to be $15,000 for "traffic control and public safety set up," according to a Sept. 22 report by Monsalve. Council members considered two other proposed routes: Highland Avenue, Central Avenue, Fernley Drive, Las Lomas Drive and Huntington Drive; and Highland Avenue, Royal Oaks Drive, Encanto Parkway and the Lario Bridge.
Azusa Unified School District honored more than 180 district employees for their dedication and longevity, including three employees with a 40-year-tenure, during a special awards ceremony Sept. 30 at Gladstone Street Elementary. AUSD Superintendent Dr. Linda Kaminski presided over the celebration of employees who have achieved career benchmarks of 10 to 40 years of service. “Today we honor our own – thinking, reflecting, celebrating the people who make this district the wonderful place it is,” said Kaminski. “When your work is making an impact on countless young people, you know that what you have done is special.” The ceremony, a dessert social catered by the district’s Nutrition Services Department, brought together teachers, administrators and classified employees, many who came to cheer on their colleagues. Three AUSD employees were celebrated for 40 years
of service, four employees for 35 years, 13 employees for 30 years, 43 employees for 25 years, 32 employees for 20 years, 69 employees for 15 years and 20 employees for 10 years. Carrie Ceniceros, in-

“keep prices low due to their buyers who specialize in purchasing product overruns and surplus inventories.” The property owner is in the process of a façade enhancement for a 1/3 of the shopping center, including the former Mike’s Foods, Young’s Gourmet, the barbershop and Little Cesar’s pizza. Construction is scheduled to begin before the end of the 2015. For additional information visit www.groceryoutlet.com.

Duarte Announces New LCPC to Present Handel’s Smart & Final Extra! “Foundling Hospital” Store for the Community Concert
Weingarten Realty Investors, owner of the Buena Vista shopping center, announced that Smart & Final; one of the longest continuously-operating food retailers in the U.S., will open a new Smart & Final Extra! store in Duarte in early 2016. The store will open at the site of the former Ralphs location in Duarte on Huntington Drive, and will create approximately 50 new jobs for the area. Smart & Final Extra! stores are generally larger than the company’s traditional “core” store and carry more than 15,000 different items, about 8,000 more than in core stores, offered in a broad range of sizes. The new Smart & Final Extra! in Duarte will occupy approximately 30,000 square feet. Smart & Final Extra! stores combine warehouse savings with market freshness. The new stores include many new features, including a larger selection of meat, deli and frozen food products; an expanded produce section that includes organic produce; dry bulk foods by the pound; good & well sections filled with natural and organic products; and oven-roasted chicken. With 50% more club-sized items than club stores, Smart & Final Extra! stores offer great value, quality and convenience for households, businesses and community groups, all without a membership fee. Smart & Final is currently working on plans to upgrade the existing façade
and the interior space of the new store. An opening date has not been set. In a continuation of its aggressive growth plan, Smart & Final has opened 15 new stores so far this year and is scheduled to open a total of 20 by the end of 2015.

Handel and the Foundling Hospital, a recreation of a concert led by George Frideric Handel in London 266 years ago, will be presented in the La Canada Presbyterian Church sanctuary on Sunday, Oct. 18, at 2 p.m. According to Jack Lantz, who will direct the LCPC Chancel Choir and Orchestra in the performance, the governors of the newly constructed Foundling Hospital approached Handel in 1749 asking him to perform a benefit concert for the institution, which cared for orphaned children. The composer wrote new music for the event, based on biblical texts about caring for the destitute and also presented his recently written “Music for the Royal Fireworks”—today, one of his best-loved works.
The concert will feature soprano soloists Lori Stinson and Victoria Aldridge, contralto Diane Wallace, tenor Matthew Thomas and bass Gregory Geiger. Lantz urges the community to “please come to enjoy an afternoon of great and historic music.” The event will benefit one of LCPC’s outreach ministry partners, Discover the World, which addresses a crisis similar to that in Handel’s day. It provides care for children who have been orphaned by Kenya’s HIV/AIDS epidemic. Tickets are $20. They may be purchased in advance at the church office or at the door. La Canada Presbyterian Church is located at 626 Foothill Blvd. For additional information, call (818) 790-6708.

Mouth Painter Gives Disabled Artist’s Workshop Designed to Motivate Just yesterday, Pasadena’s Kidspace Children’s Museum hosted an artist like no other: quadriplegic mouth-painter Mariam Paré. Paralyzed as a 20-yearold college student by a gunshot wound to her neck, Mariam had dreamed of a career making art. It was in college working towards her degree that she was caught in the crossfire of senseless gang violence which left her with a severed spinal cord, no use of her legs, and limited use of her upper extremities.
D u r i n g years of rehabilitation learning to re-do things most of us take for granted, a therapist at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago taught Mariam to hold a pencil in her mouth to write her name. This single lesson exposed Mariam to a new possible way of painting. If she could control a pencil in this way, then why not a paintbrush? With earnest determination, she soon began teaching herself again how to paint using her mouth. At Kidspace on Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2015, Mariam spoke about why a mentality of “Self Help - Not Charity” is empowering when overcoming tragedies, how art can be therapeutic for kids and adults alike, and how any-

one can rebuild when life takes an unexpected turn. She was joined by fellow Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artist Cindi Bernhardt of West Covina. Mariam said of her positive attitude, “Time helps. Time heals.” Trust her, she knows. But first, the kids had to try their “mouths” at painting. At 11 a.m. sharp, dozens of eager children sat down in the humid courtyard behind Kidspace and
painted. Red, blue, green, yellow, and every mix of color in between covered tables, canvases, and hands. After, children, parents, and local news reporters eagerly watched Mariam paint an ethereal female face. After her session with Kidspace, Mariam headed to Toronto for the next stop on her seven-city North American tour. For more about Mariam, visit www.mariampare. com or http://mfpausa. com.

report in Los Angeles Times. Just three weeks ago, the National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center raised the odds of California getting doused with a wetter-than-average winter. Southern California now has more than a 60% chance of a wet winter, a 33% chance of a normal winter, and less than a 7% chance of a dry winter. As of August, NOAA and
it will place the 2015 event among the strongest El Niños in the (admittedly short) 1950-2015 historical record. What would this mean for expected impacts in the United States? Sea surface temperature anomalies (departures from the long-term average) increased in much of the equatorial Pacific during July. The July average in the Niño3.4
region was +1.2°C above normal according to the ERSST monitoring datasets. The atmospheric features observed in the equatorial Pacific region during July show that the El Niño ocean-atmosphere coupling is cranking along: easterly winds near the surface were consistently weaker than normal, as were the westerly winds in the upper levels of the atmosphere, and satellites saw more clouds than average in the central and eastern Pacific. El Niño is a climate pattern located in the tropical Pacific, so it doesn’t affect U.S. weather directly. Rather, it changes the larger-scale flow or circulation of the atmosphere. Warmer tropical Pacific waters release more heat to the atmosphere, causing more rising air and storminess in the central and eastern tropics. The rising air moves north (and south) away from the tropics, traveling to the mid-latitudes, where it shifts the North Pacific jet stream farther southward and eastward. Movement and extension of the jet stream can bring more storms to the United States, and change the seasonal temperature and precipitation
Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine patterns. However, “California cannot count on potential El Niño conditions to halt or reverse drought conditions,” stated climatologist Michael Anderson said in a press release issued by the state Dept. of Water Resources “Historical weather data shows us that at best, there is a 50/50 chance of having a wetter winter. Unfortunately, due to shifting climate patterns, we cannot even be that sure.” El Niño occurs roughly every two to seven years, according to NOAA. It is a climate pattern in the tropical Pacific Ocean that results from the interaction between the ocean’s surface layers and overlying atmosphere.

Whenever an elderly person is in need, Senior Helpers is at their service. A company that serves seniors in the San Gabriel Valley and throughout the country, Senior Helpers aims to maintain and better the quality of life for the elderly by providing them with the best in-home care services. Many seniors do not want to move to assisted living or independent living facilities, said Kathryn Erskine, president of the Senior Helpers Arcadia. As the elderly age and require assistance for everyday tasks, many of them want to stay in the homes where they watched their children grow up and where they created some of their best memories. By providing the elderly with caregivers who personally come to their homes, Senior Helpers is a service that allows the elderly to remain in their homes while assisting them during the aging process. Seniors and families who need assistance can first call the company’s office and speak with a consultant, free of charge. Through an interview process, the consultant will come up with a customized care plan that best fits the senior. Senior Helpers then matches the individual with caregivers who have similar interests and are trained to support his or her specific needs. The in-home service provides the elderly with care that includes anything from companionship and help with
hobbies and housekeeping to walking assistance, diet planning, and transportation to medical appointments. Senior Helpers also provides care for the elderly with dementia and Alzheimer’s. By using a classification system called Senior Gems, developed by occupational therapist and dementia expert Teepa Snow, the homecare provider is able to identify which stage of dementia and Alzheimer’s the senior is in. Through the Gems method, caregivers and family members of seniors with these disorders can recognize the characteristics associated with the stage of dementia and use strategies that best serve the individual. Founded in 2001 by Tony Boncuse with the help of Peter Ross, Senior Helpers started after the two noticed that many senior care companies were not providing the elderly with sufficient care and services. Both previous caregivers for their own aging family members, they created the company with the aim to deliver top-notch senior care with a high level of professionalism. In 2002, Bonacuse opened the first office in Baltimore, and a couple years later, Senior Helpers expanded to the West Coast by adding an office in Orange County. Today, the company now serves thousands of seniors across the country through its many franchises in different states. The Arcadia franchise
Caltechlive!
of Senior Helpers serves the elderly in Arcadia, Pasadena, West Covina and the surrounding area. Currently in a new phase with Erskine as the new president of the local franchise, Senior Helpers Arcadia is now looking for caregivers in the San Gabriel Valley with previous experience to hire and train. Erskine also plans on working towards making Arcadia and the San Gabriel Valley a more dementia-friendly community. In the near future, the local franchise will offer free workshops for family members of the elderly with dementia and Alzheimer’s and local health workers. These workshops will aim to give community members the necessary tools and information on how to interact with and approach individuals suffering from the disorders. But, the upmost importance for the Senior Helpers Arcadia is the well-being of elderly in the community. “[Seniors] have so much to give us because of their life skills and all that they’ve experienced in their life,” Erskine said. “They’re very valuable to the community and the value they give needs to be embraced and they need to be supported.” To sign up for care from Senior Helpers Arcadia or to apply as a caregiver, call the office at (626) 241-1348.

Arcadia Educational Foundation Raises $40,000 by Yiming Ye and Ashley Chen, AUSD Digital Communications Interns It was a bright night for Arcadia students and staff thanks to the Arcadia Educational Foundation raising $40,000 at its inaugural gala. AEF launched the year with its ”Bright Night” fundraiser at the home of Arcadia Unified School District School Board Member Lori Phillipi. Over 250 members of the community packed the event, which showcased the multitude Arcadia students’ talents. The night began with a warm musical welcome from the Arcadia High School Pep Squad, followed by several other dazzling performances by the AHS Marching Band and a short, yet humorous, performance by the Speech and Debate team about “Whether or not you should donate to AEF.” The AEF gala was not only an exhibit of what Arcadia built in the past, but also what the school district leaders envision for what lies ahead. “In order for us to maintain our reputation of excellence, we have to continue to grow the district,” David Vannasdall, the Superintendent of AUSD, said. When asked about what his vision for the school district was, Superintendent Vannasdall expressed the need for Arcadia to adapt to the circumstances of the unknown. “Part of my job is staying about 5-10 years above where we are today,” divulged Superintendent Vanarsdall. “Education is not going to look like it is right now in the very near future.” One of the ideas Superintendent Vannasdall wishes to pursue is an inno-
vative push towards more online learning. “We’re already looking at how to bring teachers up to par on learning how to

provide hybrid courses.” In the future, students may not have to make the long trek to school or even conform to a rigid schedule. Instead, schooling would be more centered around the student and his or her needs with the use of online instruction. Assisting greatly in the school district’s ambitious efforts is AEF. Since the district is located in a more affluent neighborhood, the State of California does not fund Arcadia schools as much as other public schools. Therefore, AUSD relies heavily on contributions from the community. “The sole mission of AEF is to raise money to support Arcadia Schools … 100% of our donations have gone straight back to the school,” said Hsiuchen Chen, the treasurer and trustee member of the organization. She then added, “AEF gives out 55 thousand dollars of mini-grants [annually].” These generous grants
go to teachers who qualify in the fall, so their classrooms are able to enhance the learning experience for Arcadia students throughout the year. Just this year, AEF provided $3,000 to Baldwin Stocker Elementary in order to provide each and every 2nd grader a Google Chromebook, and an additional $5,000 was donated to Arcadia High School to support oncampus projects such as the native plant garden developed by students to attain a beautiful, yet water efficient, campus. These contributions are considered small compared to the $15,000 AEF provides for the continuation of the School Messenger Program which connects the superintendent and principals with parents to provides district and campus announcements in addition

Help for Kids Who Stutter Is as Close as Your Library Kids who stutter have a lot to say, and friends can show them how in Stuttering: For Kids By Kids, a DVD in English and Spanish starring kids who stutter, available at most public libraries or through interlibrary loan. Many children who stutter have never met others who struggle with the same disability. In this DVD from the Stuttering Foundation, they meet kids who recount how they handle challenges such as teasing, speaking out in class, and teaching others about stuttering. Swish, a lively and engaging animated basketball character designed by stu-
dents at Purdue University, narrates the DVD. The children, who range in age from first-graders to high school students, offer frank and sometimes differing views of stuttering. For example, Matthew, age 10, says about his speech difficulties, “It’s no big deal,” but Kate, age 9, worries about talking, what is going to happen next and whether or not she’ll stutter. Arianne, age 14, says, “The hardest part about stuttering is to get through it and to stay in there when you’re stuck.” Umang, age 12, agrees, “Sometimes it gets kind of annoying when you want to say something and you can’t.

worried what other people might think if I do stutter and wonder if I’ll be able to get out of my blocks and things.” “All those interested in helping kids learn more about stuttering will want to see this tape,” said speech-language pathologist Bill Murphy of Purdue University. “The children featured are a perfect example of how to openly and honestly handle stuttering.” “This is an important tool for families and teachers of kids who stutter,” added Jane Fraser, president of the nonprofit Stuttering Foundation. Other professionals and specialists in stuttering in this production include Kristin Chmela of Northwestern University, Joe Donaher of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Lisa Scott of Florida State University, and Lee Caggiano of Friends. The Foundation has provided free materials to over 8,700 public libraries nationwide.

AUSD Welcomes Paul Anderson YouTube-Famous Science Teacher Talks Technology in School By jonATHAN tSOU
- Photo by Toby Zhang
Last week, Arcadia Unified School District hosted a community information night featuring Paul Anderson. Paul Anderson is a wellknown YouTuber and teacher who has helped thousands of high school and college students find a deeper understanding of science. He was the 2011 Montana Teacher of the Year and one of the four finalists for 2011 National Teacher of the Year. Mr. Anderson graduated from Montana State University having majored in biology, and attempted to become a doctor. He later would switch to teaching, and discovered a passion for educating others. He is currently on a one-year break from teaching at Bozeman High School in Montana. He is an advanced placement biology teacher. His visit to Arcadia High School was intended to help Arcadia transfer from traditional teaching to teaching with technology. He also discussed the pros and cons of technology in school. On Thursday, he met privately with Craig Monden, the
biology teacher from Arcadia High who first decided to invite Mr. Anderson to Arcadia. Mr. Monden indicated that Paul Anderson's informative videos allow him to create a “flip instruction” class and allow his students to review topics that were talked about in class. A flipped instruction classroom is when teachers allow students to learn instructional content outside the classroom, while in the classroom students collaborate and work on classwork with the help of the instructor. Later in the day, Mr. Anderson met with a group of select middle and high school students to discuss the negatives and positives of technology in school. Students discussed how the new technology allows them to have their work auto save, allows them to collaborate with other students, and allows them to search for facts at a faster pace. Although technology helps students, it does not come without its challenges. Most students believe that teachers are not allowing
them to use their Chromebooks to the max potential. After speaking to students, Mr. Anderson spoke to the community. He addressed the issues that students gave him and how the schools are changing. With over 300 attendees, he discussed what the future of school will look like and how students can adapt to it. He also did a Q&A with parents and students. The next day, Mr. Anderson spoke with many teachers from Arcadia Unified to discuss what he has learned from the community and students. Arcadia Unified School District's superintendent, David Vassandell, remarked that the world is changing rapidly and that the school must continue to change with it. He also stated that many teachers have been on Twitter to discuss their curriculum with other teachers around the nation in order to enhance what they are teaching. He hopes that all teachers will continue to change to a more technology-focused teaching.

Lotto Scratcher Scam Rubs California Residents the Wrong Way Customers hoping to scratch it rich with lottery tickets may have even lower odds of winning because of a few unscrupulous merchants. The Lotto Scratcher scam occurs when a tiny code at the bottom of a scratchers ticket is partially exposed, known as “pinning.” The vendor enters the
code into a lottery computer to determine if the ticket is a winner. The merchant cashes in the winning tickets and sells the losers to the public. -Examine the ticket for any areas that have already been scratched -Make sure there are no numbers showing at the bottom of the ticket
-If you suspect you have been sold a tampered lottery ticket, call 1-800-LOTTERY. For tips on how to protect yourself against the Lotto Scratcher scam, watch this California Lottery video: https://vimeo. com/141443215. Follow @ LADAOffice on Twitter for up-to-date news and use #FraudFriday.
Study to Focus on Experiences of LGBT Service Members in Military
Researchers from the USC and UCLA will collaborate on one of the first studies of the experiences of LGBT service members in the military. The study will lay a foundation for future research of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender active-duty service members by exploring how they are integrated into the military; determine if health disparities exist between them and their heterosexual counterparts; and develop recommendations for better assimilation of LGBT service members to promote military readiness. The two-year, $1.89 million grant marks one of the first times the U.S. Department of Defense has funded a study of this population since the 2010 repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” the law barring homosexuals from openly serving in the military. “In some ways, we will start with an exploratory study to uncover what it’s like to be an LGBT service member in the military,” said Jeremy Goldbach, assistant professor at the USC School of Social Work, who is one of three principal investigators on this study. The other investigators are Carl Castro, assistant professor at the USC School of Social Work, and Ian Holloway, assistant professor of social welfare at the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs. “No one’s ever asked this question of active-duty service members before because we hadn’t been allowed to. We know very little about this population,” Goldbach said. About 65,000 service members identify as LGBT. In the general population, LGBT individuals experience stress related to their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. Given the military’s “hypermasculine” culture, active-duty LGBT individuals could experience distinct stress that impacts their health and mili-
tary readiness. As news reports have shown, even after the controversial policy’s repeal, acceptance in the military as an LGBT service member has not been universal. The policy changes have not been implemented flawlessly, and experiences of LGBT veterans highlight that many remained uncomfortable serving openly. The study also comes at a critical time as the department works to update its current policy relating to transgender service members, also allowing them to serve openly in the military. The study will consist of two parts: in-depth interviews with 80 lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender service members from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines; and a survey of 480 service members—split evenly between LGBT service members and their heterosexual counterparts. Advisory boards will also be established with subjectmatter experts and LGBT veterans and active-duty service members. The military board will help ensure any devel-
oped recommendations are feasible within the military context. A focus on LGBT service members’ social networks is an important aspect of this project. Social networks refer to the relationships and bonds that surround individuals, such as family, friends, romantic relationships and colleagues, among others. Holloway said these networks can have great impact on the health and well-being of individuals. Whether and how activeduty LGBT service members have disclosed their sexual orientation and/or gender identity and how their supervisors and fellow service members have reacted can impact their networks and, in turn, their well-being. “I think all of us feel a tremendous sense of responsibility,” Holloway said. “Our study will be able to elicit from LGBT military personnel themselves what they see as their challenges and provide insights to improve their individual outcomes and improve the overall organizational structure.”

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF JOSEPHINE PARISO MILANEZ Case No. BP167213
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of JOSEPHINE PARISO MILANEZ A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Deborah Pariso Schafer in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGE-LES. THE PETITION FOR PRO-
BATE requests that Deborah Pariso Schafer be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal rep-resentative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or con-sented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held on Nov. 6, 2015 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 67 located at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, CA 90012. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representa-tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the Califor-nia Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowl-edgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for petitioner: JAMES M. KOSAREFF, ESQ SBN 174529 DALE A.

If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site www.auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case 13-2703-11. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Students Celebrate Through Song
OCTOBER 15 - october 21, 2015 | 29
2015 Pasadena Cheeseburger Week CHEESEBURGER CHALLENGE
Part of 13th Annual Daniel Pearl World Music Days Event Daniel Pearl’s Parents—Dr. Judea and Ruth Pearl—to Attend Weizmann Day School, New Horizon School, St. Mark’s School, and B'nai Simcha Jewish Community Preschool invite the community to attend their 13th annual interfaith Daniel Pearl “Harmony for Humanity” Concert on Oct. 15, 2015, at 11 a.m. The concert will take place on the Weizmann Day School campus located at 1434 N. Altadena Drive in Pasadena. This special concert brings together Jewish, Muslim, and Christian elementary and middle school-age children singing songs of peace and understanding. This local event is part of a global Daniel Pearl World Music Days concert series (www.danielpearlmusicdays.org) honoring journalist Daniel Pearl, an accomplished musician who was killed by terrorists while on assignment in Pakistan in 2002. Pearl’s tragically short life was spent in
the pursuit of fellowship and humanity across cultures. Since then, this annual program, commemorating his October birthday, has included over 11,000 performances across 130 countries including past performances by Barbara Streisand, REM, Sir Elton John, and Matisyahu, among many others. The uniting theme is “Harmony for Humanity” to honor the legacy of Daniel Pearl through the musical medium he loved and actively practiced. “Lately, the news focuses on conflict within interfaith relations in our own country, and the challenges to achieving peace in the Middle East, yet there are so many positive stories to share – and this event is a perfect example," said Lisa Feldman, Weizmann Day School Head of School. In fact, the schools have built on the special relationship created through these per-
formances, and now the students write letters to each other, take field trips together, and share in learning activities, such as working together on an origami project that was displayed in the Pasadena Public Library as well as in Jerusalem. As with several past years’ events, Daniel Pearl’s parents, Dr. Judea and Ruth Pearl, are planning to attend. Often, city, state, and federal elected officials come to the moving and inspirational event as well. "Seeing our students sharing one small stage, and hearing their beautiful voices fills us with hope that our current generation will rally around our shared, commitment to humanity and to tolerance, and will overcome past obstacles," said Feldman. "It gives everyone hope." As always, this year’s concert is free and open to the public.
Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA to Host Spay/Neuter Day for Feral Cats
On Oct. 15 and 16, 2015, the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA (PHS) will hold a no-cost spay and neuter clinic for feral cats residing in the shelter’s nine service cities. This event is being held in honor of National Feral Cat Day, which is October 16. Feral cats are freeroaming cats that are not socialized to people. They are the same species as pet cats, but often live in outdoor cat colonies with limited human interaction. If left unaltered, these cats produce large numbers of kittens each spring and summer, inundating local animal shelters. The sterilization process for feral cats is commonly referred to as trapneuter-return (TNR). Members of the community humanely trap feral cats, have them sterilized at a spay/neuter clinic, and then
return the cats to their original location. While under anesthesia feral cats are also vaccinated and ear-tipped (a small part of the cat’s left ear is removed to indicate sterilization). “Female cats can have as many as three litters a year, and kittens can breed as young as four months old,” says Steve McNall, president/CEO of the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA. “Most people don’t want to see the cats they’re feeding get pregnant over and over again, so our National Feral Cat Day ‘TNR-a-thon’ will serve as a gentle reminder to caretakers of free-roaming cat colonies to catch and sterilize their cats.” The PHS low-cost public spay and neuter clinic (SNiP) will dedicate Oct. 15 and 16 exclusively to the spay and neuter of feral cats. The clinic expects to book 20 feral cat surgeries each
day. A limited number of TNR appointments are also available weekly, Tuesday through Friday. TNR appointments at the SNiP Clinic include free spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations (FVRCP and rabies) and ear-tipping for feral cats throughout our service cities only: Arcadia, Bradbury, Glendale, La Cañada Flintridge, Monrovia, Pasadena, South Pasadena, San Marino and Sierra Madre. Additional services such as FeLV/FIV testing, flea treatment and microchipping are available upon request for an additional cost. A small inventory of humane traps are also available to rent for a deposit of $55, which is fully refunded upon return of the traps. TNR is by appointment only. To make an appointment, email snip@pasadenahumane.org or call (626) 792-7151 ext. 166.

NASA's Curiosity Rover Team Confirms Ancient Lakes on Mars A new study from the team behind NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory/Curiosity has confirmed that Mars was once, billions of years ago, capable of storing water in lakes over an extended period of time. Using data from the Curiosity rover, the team has determined that, long ago, water helped deposit sediment into Gale Crater, where the rover landed more than three years ago. The sediment deposited as layers that formed the foundation for Mount Sharp, the mountain found in the middle of the crater today. “Observations from the rover suggest that a series of long-lived streams and lakes existed at some point between about 3.8 to 3.3 billion years ago, delivering sediment that slowly built up the lower layers of Mount Sharp,” said Ashwin Vasavada, Mars Science Laboratory project scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, and co-author of the new Science article published Friday, Oct. 9. . Above 800 meters, Mount Sharp shows no evidence of hydrated strata, and that is the bulk of what forms Mount Sharp. Grotzinger suggests that perhaps this later segment of the crater’s history may have been dominated by dry, winddriven deposits, as was once imagined for the lower part explored by Curiosity. A lingering question surrounds the original source of the water that carried sediment into the crater. For flowing water to have existed on the surface, Mars must have had a thicker atmosphere and warmer climate than has been theorized for the ancient era when Gale Crater experienced the intense geological activity. However, current models of this paleoclimate have, literally, come up dry. At least some of the water may have been supplied to the lakes by snowfall and rain in the highlands of the Gale Crater rim. Some have made the argument that there was an ocean in the plains north of the crater, but that does not explain how the water managed to exist as a liquid for extended periods of time on the surface. “We have tended to think of Mars as being simple,” Grotzinger mused. “We once thought of the Earth as being simple too. But the more you look into it, questions come up because you’re beginning to fathom the real complexity of what we see on Mars. This is a good time to go back to reevaluate all our assumptions.” More information about Mars Science Laboratory is online at: http://www.nasa. gov/msl.
