El Nino Continues to Gain Strength

Hundreds gathered Sunday afternoon at California State University Long Beach (CSULB) for a vigil honoring the memory of a student who died in the brutal ISIS attacks in Paris, France Friday night. Nohemi Gonzalez, 23, was in a Paris restaurant with friends when she was gunned down. Gonzales was one of 129 people who died Friday after the city was under siege with seven separate attacks that seemed coordinated and well-planned. It was Gonzalez’s dream to visit the City of Light, and she was attending a semester abroad studying design in France. There were a total of 17 CSULB students studying abroad this semester in France. All other students have been reported safe. Hundreds of mourners,

City Hires Consultant to Develop ‘Pavement Management’ Plan, Leases Local Municipalities Offer Safety Classes in Preparation Unmarked Police Cars From Enterprise BY TERRY MILLER

Ah, the journalists in the United States are having some fun with the expected wild weather pattern slated to hit us hard this winter. The Christian Science Monitor had this to say Tuesday: “For a phenomenon whose name means ‘the kid’" El Niño 2015 is growing up quickly.” The sudden drop in temperature combined with high winds and rain Sunday and Monday in Los Angeles is just an aperitif to whet your appetite for the main course – or as pundits are calling it, “Godzilla-El Nino.”

The Azusa City Council on Monday authorized a $59,000 contract with a consulting firm to develop a street maintenance plan and approved $155,000 to lease unmarked police vehicles. Later this month Walnut-based RKA Consulting Group will begin a fourmonth study to assess Azusa's paved roads in order to prioritize maintenance projects. Every three years cities

must commission a "Pavement Management System" in order to receive county funds for street repairs, according to a report by Public Works Director Daniel Bobadilla.

Rep. Chu Makes Efforts to Protect Constitutional Right

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 Friday, the Supreme Court announced that it will hear the Whole Woman’s Health v. Cole case, which challenges two provisions of a Texas state law that effectively shut down women’s health clinics. Rep. Judy Chu (CA-27) released the following statement: “The right of a woman to make her own reproductive choices has been constitutionally protected for decades, which has meant healthier women and families, and an end to dangerous and unsanitary unlicensed abortions. This law’s supporters deceptively claim the restrictions are necessary to protect the health of women, but by shutting down clinics across the state, it would have the exact opposite effect. I hope the Supreme Court will see this threat for what it is: an attempt to circumvent the constitutional right to choose and put women’s health at risk. This is also just the latest evidence of why we need legislation like the Women’s Health Protection Act to put an end to burdensome regulations that have been implemented by states throughout the country.” Earlier this year, on the

42nd anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, Rep. Chu was joined by Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Representatives Marcia Fudge (D-OH) and Lois Frankel (D-FL) to re-introduce the Women’s Health Protection Act of 2015. The Women’s Health Protection Act would protect a woman’s right and ability to determine whether and when to bear a child by limiting restrictions on the provision of abortion services—such as those in place in states including Texas. It would prohibit laws that impose burdensome requirements on access to reproductive health services like requiring doctors to perform tests and procedures that doctors themselves have deemed unnecessary, or preventing doctors from prescribing and dispensing medication as is medically appropriate. Supporters of the bill argue that these restrictions are unnecessary, extreme measures that do not significantly advance women’s health or the safety of abortion services. Instead, they aim to make abortion services more difficult to access.

Here are a few tips to decrease risk of infection: -DUMP and DRAIN standing water. Do not allow water to collect and stagnate in old tires, flowerpots, swimming pools, birdbaths, pet bowls, or other containers. These are prime breeding grounds for mosquitoes. -Empty and wash birdbaths and wading pools weekly. -Report aggressive mosquito activity and standing water to San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control District. -Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants whenever you are outdoors, especially if you are older or have a weakened immune system. -Apply repellents containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, para-menthanediol, or oil of eucalyptus according to label instructions.

Repellents keep the mosquitoes from biting you. -Keep swimming pools operating properly; drain water from pool covers. -Stock garden ponds with goldfish or other mosquito-eating fish. These eat mosquito eggs and larvae. -Make sure that your doors and windows have tight-fitting screens to keep out mosquitoes. -Avoid mosquito-infested areas at dawn and dusk. Residents are urged to call the District to report any mosquito activity by calling (626) 814-9466. For more information, please visitwww.SGVMosquito.org. The San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control District has provided an easy to follow check list to identify common mosquito sources to keep your activities around your home safer and more enjoyable.

CAL FIRE Staffs With Extra Firefighters During Winter Months

While recent rains and cooler temperatures have lowered the threat of wildfires in some areas of the State, CAL FIRE continues to have extra firefighter staffing statewide and remains at peak fire season in Central and Southern California. Last week alone CAL FIRE crews responded to nearly 50 new wildfires. Even as CAL FIRE transitions out of peak fire season in Northern California and into its winter preparedness mode, fire officials are still asking residents statewide to be cautious outdoors as ‘One Less Spark means One Less Wildfire’. “As drought conditions continued throughout the year, we experienced a significant increase in the number and size of fires," said Chief Ken Pimlott, CAL FIRE director. “Even with the increased likelihood of precipitation due to El Niño, it will still take several years of steady rainfall for some of the larger vegetation to return to normal levels and no amount of rain will bring back millions of bark beetle infested dead and dying trees across the state. We can’t let our guard down, especially with changing climate conditions leading to longer fire seasons and larger wildfires.” While CAL FIRE has begun to close some of its seasonal fire stations and facilities in Northern California, CAL FIRE is maintaining firefighter staffing that meets the current threat, as well as strategically moving resources to areas that remain at a higher threat level. As California prepares to enter the fifth year of drought, CAL FIRE will continue to monitor weather conditions closely to determine when it can move into winter preparedness in Central and Southern

California. The department will also increase staffing in Northern California should the weather conditions change or if there is a need to support wildfires or any other emergencies in Southern California. The 2015 fire season to date has been an extremely active year, even more than in 2014. Statewide, CAL FIRE and firefighters from many local agencies battled over 6,100 wildfires within the State Responsibility Area that burned nearly 308,000 acres. This is nearly 1,800 more wildfires this year than in an average year. Across all jurisdictions in California there were over 8,100 wildfires that burned nearly 825,000 acres in 2015. A leading cause of wildfires this time of year is from escaped outdoor landscape debris burning. Residents are urged to still take precautions outdoors in order to prevent sparking a wildfire. In Northern and Central California residents should ensure it’s a permissive burn day in their area by contacting the local air quality district and make sure they have any and all required burn permits. During burning make sure that piles of landscape debris are no larger than four feet in diameter, provide a 10 ft. clearance down to bare mineral soil around the burn pile and that a responsible adult is in attendance at all times with a water source and a shovel. Firefighters will also be utilizing this same window of opportunity to conduct prescribed burns aimed at improving forest health on private and public lands. For more ways to prevent sparking a wildfire visit www.ReadyForWildfire. org. One Less Spark, means One Less Wildfire.

El Monte Welcomes Retailers to Santa Fe Trail Plaza Shopping Center The City of El Monte, in partnership with the Festival Companies, hosted the grand opening of the Santa Fe Trail Plaza Shopping Center on Nov. 12. The event included formal ribbon cutting ceremonies celebrating the openings of Superior Gro-

cers and Petco and is the first new shopping center to open in El Monte in over 20 years. “The addition of the Santa Fe Trail Plaza to the City of El Monte is a major accomplishment,” Mayor Andre Quintero said. “A project of this magnitude

establishes a solid commercial infrastructure for businesses seeking a brick and mortar location with so many possibilities for long term growth.” The Plaza - located on the northeast corner of Santa Anita Avenue and Valley Boulevard - is a 110,000

square foot lifestyle shopping center that is slated to include additional retailers including Ross Dress for Less, Chipotle and two dozen other stores and restaurants. “This shopping center provides our residents with access to affordable gro-

Douglass & Zook

ceries and retailers, while creating additional revenue from neighboring San Gabriel Valley residents,” Mayor Pro Tem Bart Patel said. The $36 million project broke ground Nov. 2014 with a projected timeline to reach completion in a year. The project site, which spans approximately 15 acres across 50 individual lots, was assembled over a 10 year period by Festival Companies and the former El Monte Redevelopment Agency. “This is a project that we have been working on for years and are happy to see two of the key tenants open up their doors,” Councilwoman Norma Macias said. “Once the center is fully occupied, it will be a major shopping hub for our community.” The project is one of several developments spearheaded by the City’s goal to create room for economic growth and offer residents access to a myriad of services. The shopping

center will generate significant increases in sales tax to the City and provide hundreds of new jobs. “Now that the Plaza is open, El Monte residents have the opportunity to go shopping without having to leave the City limits,” Councilwoman Victoria Martinez said. “That’s an incredibly valuable resource to a lot of our community members who have limited access to transportation.” The Santa Fe Trail Plaza Shopping Center features extensive outdoor landscaping, including patios, plazas and additional features to encourage outdoor dining and community gathering. “Our families need a place to be able to come to, to get what they need, but to also spend quality time with one another,” Councilman Juventino “J” Gomez said. “We welcome the Santa Fe Trail Plaza to El Monte, and look forward to the positive growth it will generate in years to come.”

How to Sell High: Avoid these Three Mistakes When Selling Your Home 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.

On Sunday, Nov. 8, Huntington Hospital hosted a lighting ceremony as part of a national campaign to raise awareness for lung cancer. The ceremony was attended by over 100 lung cancer patients and family members, as well as hospital administration, staff and physicians from Huntington Hospital's lung cancer program.

"Few physicians embody the perfect combination of leadership, energy and availability, medical knowledge, clinical judgment and compassion that Mike Gurevitch has displayed over the years,” said Dr. Cohen. “I am honored to recognize him and his team for making such a great impact on the lives of our patients.” The program continued with remarks from Christine Conti, RN, nurse navigator for the Huntington Hospital lung cancer program, followed by an inspiring account from Huntington Hospital patient Jeffrey Poehlmann. Conti then led the group in lighting candles to honor lung cancer patients and their families. The lung cancer program at Huntington Hospital

We are starting a monthly art column to let you know about some of the local art festivals, museum exhibitions and the more interesting gallery shows in different LA neighborhoods. The purpose of the column is not to take the perspective of an art critic - but rather to point out some of the more worthwhile opportunities, and based on your feedback or questions, we will see how it evolves.

This week we explore the Bergamot Art Station in Santa Monica (www.bergamotstation.com), 2515 Michigan Avenue, Santa Monica, CA 90404. Bergamot Station has almost 30 art galleries, an outdoor café and a handful of architecture and creative offices clustered in a half dozen lowrise buildings surrounding a large free parking lot. The galleries are usually open from

10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Tuesday to Friday and 11:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. on Saturdays. By car, the Michigan Avenue entrance can only be accessed via Cloverfield Blvd (use your GPS!). The Expo Line extension is not yet open – but hopefully will stop there by early 2016. Prices at the galleries range from $250 - $100,000+, but it’s all free to look at – so go explore! This week’s top picks:

Sarah Steinberg’s “Déjà View” opened November 14th at Lois Lambert Gallery and runs through Jan. 3, 2016 (www.loislambertgallery. com). The brightly colored oil on canvas paintings are visual impressions of her childhood in the outskirts of Toronto. The most interesting canvases are the ones with architectural frameworks (outlines of cabins) or more concrete buildings imposed over tranquil wood and/or outdoor settings. The cabins in the woods illuminate the possibility that they are either being planned for construction or now exist only in memory. The Gallery of Functional Art (GFA) is also housed within the same space and has a number of unique furniture, lighting and household items at reasonable prices. At Laura Korman Gallery, artist Katherine Tzu-Lan Mann’s “Cauldron” exhibit is on display through Dec. 15. (www.laurakormangallery. com). Like Steinberg’s work the colors are amazing, however, the comparison ends there as is much more abstract and textural.

Case Study by Myles Mellor and Sally York

by dorothy denne

The Club My sister called me from Ohio the other day. She was griping and complaining and just really deep into sharing her frustrations with life. I said, “Well, welcome to the Triple A Club.” She asked, “What’s that?” I answered, “It’s a group of people who have reached that age or stage of life where we Accept, Adapt, Accommodate.” She paused, sighed and said, “I guess you’re right. I can’t say I really want to join the club but I guess I’d be less

miserable.” We began to discuss the concept and continued for nearly two hours, as sisters who live over 2,000 miles apart can do. Sometimes we were very serious. Sometimes we laughed. Sometimes we laughed even when we were serious. I think it was George Bernard Shaw who said, “Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.” Those of you who read my column regularly know that I prefer to laugh when-

ever possible. It is such a stress-breaking, healing action. A good laugh just makes you feel good all over. So, my sister and I finally wound up laughing more than commiserating, but since the miles between us cross time zones, I was getting hungry and she was getting sleepy. We decided it was time to quit. We hadn’t solved any problems but we hadn’t created any either. We did feel that we can now better Accept, Adapt, and Accommodate to the ones we have.

As a leading dental clinic in El Monte they focus on oral hygiene education, comprehensive treatment and preventive care. Founded by Dr. Rodney Hitomi in 1972, the practice remains committed to their patients. By breaking the psychological cycle of uncertainty-tension-fear, they provide patients with comprehensive oral care followed by preventive procedures through oral hygiene education. It is reinforced with the clear explanation

and description using our digital radiography tools, along with plenty of time for our patients to feel comfortable with their treatment whether it is multiple implant placement surgery, laser gum treatment, or regular teeth cleaning. The practice strives to maintain and promote healthy lifestyle and excellent oral hygiene in our community. Hitomi Dentistry has never just been about dentistry. Being in business as long as they have, and seeing patients at

least twice a year for checkups, it's easy to see how the patients have grown to be a family. Our youngest patient is 18-month-old; the oldest is turning 100 in December 2015. Dr. Trent Kanemaki truly enjoys the "story exchange" environment. Very often you will see Dr. Trent sharing his love of professional photography and outdoor activities with the patients.

The City of El Monte offered tribute to the brave servicemen and service women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect our nation’s freedom at its annual Veterans Day Ceremony, held on November 11 at Arceo Park. The poignant ceremony featured U.S. Navy Veteran Tiffany Apodaca as keynote speaker. Apodaca served in Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF)/ Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) from 2003

- 2007 and is a recipient of the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal (NAM), National Defense Service Medal and Global War On Terrorism Expeditionary Medal. “It’s so important to remember that the individuals who have served and are still serving have put their lives on the line so that we can enjoy freedom here at home,” Councilmember Juventino “J” Gomez said. “We need to honor these men

and women and their families for all of the sacrifices they have made and stand united with them for their dedication and commitment to our country.” The ceremony also included a reading of the Veterans Day poem and the Presentation of Colors by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10218 and the American Legion Post 261. Patriotic selections were performed by the Rio Hondo School Band.

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

Inland Pacific Ballet Presents ‘The Nutcracker’ Spectacular Holiday Tradition Returns to the San Gabriel Valley Critically acclaimed Inland Pacific Ballet (IPB) brings The Nutcracker to life with dazzling sets complete with falling snow, an antique original Albany Flyer One Horse Open Sleigh, a 40foot Chinese Dragon, beautiful costumes handmade in-house at IPB’s costume department, and a cast of 80 dancers. New to this year’s production is a completely re-choreographed Snow Scene for an expanded cast of 20 and a brand new lighting design. IPB’s Nutcracker will have 12 performances (plus five educational outreach performances) in four theaters from Nov. 28 through Dec. 20, 2015, at the Arcadia Performing Arts Center, Pomona College’s Bridges Auditorium, Riverside’s Fox Performing Arts Center, and Lewis Family Playhouse in Rancho Cucamonga. Consider these exciting tidbits: -IPB’s youngest dancers are six years old. Typically the six- and seven-year-olds take on the role of the Bon Bons. -This year the role of Clara will be shared by IPB Academy Trainees Lauren Collett and Emily Baggarly, both 14 years old and attendees of prestigious Summer Intensive programs in New York City – Emily at American Ballet Theatre, and Lauren at the New York City Ballet. -This year’s Nutcracker Ballet Master is Clinton Rothwell, What makes Clinton stand out is that not only does he have a terrific resume (dancer with Royal Opera Ballet, principal dancer with San Francisco Ballet, National Ballet of Holland, and National Ballet of Canada), but he's also real biker dude, who rides up to the ballet studio on his Harley. -IPB Principal Dancer, the exquisite Meilu Zhai of Montclair, will reign over the Kingdom of Sweets as the Sugar Plum Fairy. Meilu is a former dancer with the National Ballet of China and returns for her fourth season with IPB. Also returning is IPB Principal Dancer Cameron Schwanz of Corona, who will dance as the Cavalier and the Nutcracker. Cameron is a thrilling dancer who returned to southern California three years ago to join IPB as the Beast for its premiere of Beauty and the Beast. IPB Principal Dancer Jonathan Sharp as Drosselmeyer returns for a sev-

enth season with IPB and brings an extensive resume of dancing professionally with the Boston and Pennsylvania Ballet companies, and appearances in original casts of five Broadway shows. This annual holiday favorite tells the story of a young girl named Clara who receives a magical nutcracker doll on Christmas Eve, and sets out on a wondrous journey to the Land of the Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets. A fantastic dream with battling mice, dancing snowflakes, waltzing flowers, and the delightful Sugar Plum Fairy stir the imagination. Meet the cast after the performance for photos and autographs. A dazzling holiday tradition for the entire family, see it again or for the first time and be swept away in a winter wonderland. “We are thrilled to again take our wonderful production on tour to four beautiful southern California theaters. As always, The Nutcracker showcases our key Company Principals and Soloists who are in top form,” said Artistic Director Victoria Koenig. “Cameron Schwanz (Cavalier) and Meilu Zhai (Sugar Plum Fairy) are extraordinary. They really honed their partnership in Beauty and the Beast last spring and are a joy to watch. We look for-

ward each year to enhancing the show to surprise our audiences and this year is no exception. We’re re-choreographing the Snow Scene for 20 dancers, which is fun and inspiring for the dancers, and I think will make for an exciting new addition. We also have a brand new lighting design. Our fans who return year after year really look forward to these fun changes to the choreography and production values.” Choreography for The Nutcracker is by Laurence Blake and Victoria Koenig; Scenic Design by Nancy Seruto and Daniel C. Nyiri; Costume Design by Jeanne Nolden; Brand new Lighting Design by Joseph Walls; and Music by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. IPB is a professional ballet company based in the Inland Empire of Southern California since 1994. The Company is committed to producing exquisitely staged productions of full-length classic story ballets as well as presenting the best in contemporary choreography. Their large studio facility in Montclair also includes in-house costume and scenic departments. In addition, through creative marketing and an extensive Educational Outreach Program, IPB strives to introduce new audiences to the magic of ballet, and to make the experience more available and accessible to all. For students pre-school through grade 12 enrolled in public, private and home schools, IPB offers “A Young Person’s Guide to the Ballet,” connecting the arts to learning through music and movement with five educational outreach performances scheduled for The Nutcracker. The Company is also committed to the nurturing of new talent and provides an essential training ground for serious young dancers.

Recycle Used Oil & Filters! Do you change your car’s motor oil? Did you know that used motor oil and oil filters are recyclable? Used oil can be re-refined or processed into new motor oil. Currently only 46% of used motor oil is being recycled, which means 20 million gallons may be illegally entering California’s waterways via stormwater systems, posing a great risk to the environment. One gallon of used oil can contaminate a million gallons of drinking water; polluting our waterways and threaten fish and aquatic life. Prevent pollution; recycle used motor oil and filters!

Fabulous Fashion Exhibit at the Pasadena Museum of History by MAY S. RUIZ A Beach Boys cover of Jan and Dean famously claims “… the little old lady from Pasadena drives real fast and real hard … and is the terror of Colorado Boulevard.” But as the Fabulous Fashion Exhibit, currently going at the Pasadena Museum of History (PMH) beautifully depicts, she is also a woman of impeccable sartorial taste. The Fabulous Fashion Exhibit features clothes and

accessories worn by Pasadena’s well-dressed women from the 1890s, 1920s, and the 1950s. As the show organizers describe them, these three decades were known (respectively) as times of wealth and luxury, flamboyance and decadence, and prosperity and consumerism. As PMH trustee and Collections Committee Chair Dr. Elizabeth Smalley explained, “The three decades being represented in our Fabulous Fashion Exhibit were chosen because they each had distinct characteristics which showed the arc of women’s fashion choices as their roles in life have evolved. In the 1890s

women had to have 24 outfits to get through their day because each activity required a change of clothes – they had to dress to make a call, to receive a caller, to go to tea or the theatre or the opera, or to go to dinner.” “Then the 1920s ushered in the age of independence for women when they earned the right to vote,” Dr. Smalley added. “They eschewed the social constraints of the past, some of them joined the workplace, and their clothes reflected that looseness and freedom.” When the 1950s came around, men returned from the war and women reverted to their previous role

as homemaker. “Women became conformists once again and their clothes looked more structured. It’s quite fascinating to see the changes in their roles and how their apparel reflected those.” Each show presented by PMH goes through a complicated and lengthy process. Jeannette Bovard, PMH media consultant, asserted, “We brainstorm about what’s interesting, what’s relevant, and what’s coming up. Pasadena isn’t a bubble – world events affect us and we sort of affect world events. It is a small town with national significance as evidenced by all our exhibits.” “For example, our past display was about the Civil War,” Ms. Bovard elucidated further. “PMH, as well as several other cultural institutions, mounted events celebrating its sesquicentennial anniversary. Along this vein, our Fabulous Fashion Exhibit showcases fashion trends in Pasadena that followed the rest of the country.” Many women in Pasadena held important roles as wives of prominent industrialists, businessmen, and politicians during the periods covered by the exhibit; these ladies, alongside their husbands, put on important events as befitted their standing in the community. Dr. Smalley illustrated, “One of the clothes being featured is a cocktail dress that belonged to Leonora Paloheimo, granddaughter of Eva Fenyes (who, with her husband, Adalbert, built the Fenyes Mansion that houses the Pasadena Museum of History). Leonora was the wife of the Finnish Consul, Yrjo Paloheimo, so she would have worn this to parties and benefits, or to events she

hosted.” Besides showing the public its wonderful collection of clothing and objects is a far broader reason for holding this exhibit. As Ms. Bovard pronounced, “Everything that happens in the nation has somehow come through and been processed through Pasadena. And when we display what women wore during the three decades we are focusing on, we want to show that while these were worn by the ladies in Pasadena, these clothes did not originate here – they may have come from New York or Paris. We were fashionable … we still are.” Except for a 1950s shirt dress, which organizers had to purchase expressly for this event, all clothes and accessories in the Fabulous Fashion Exhibit are the property of PMH. They have been donated through the years by various benefactors and the Collection Committee ensures that each piece of clothing has a Pasadena provenance. One of the items being highlighted in the show is a breathtaking purple evening dress created by notable French designer and perfumer Jean Patou. It is on loan from long-time local resident Susan McManigal, whose family owns the French Hand Laundry and Dry Cleaning on South Lake. The Fabulous Fashion Exhibit opened Oct. 9, 2015 and will run until Feb. 14, 2016. For more information, please visit http:// pasadenahistory.org/allexhibits/now-view. Pasadena is a small town rich in charm and tradition, with old values that are deeply embedded in its people. Yet it is a city with diverse institutions typically found in large urban areas. Indeed, Pasadena is home to Caltech, Art Center

College of Design, Fuller Theological Seminary, Rose Bowl, Tournament of Roses, Gamble House, Norton Simon Museum, USC Pacific Asia Museum, The Pasadena Playhouse, and a host of other nationally recognized foundations. PMH joins a select group of cultural centers – it is a multifaceted entity that catalogs, documents and preserves vast holdings of different artifacts and objects. It then shares them with the public to educate, entertain, and connect to important events of universal significance. The Fabulous Fashion Exhibit is one way to showcase the treasures the city has to offer while informing people about Pasadena Museum of History’s function. As for the little lady from Pasadena … . Well, surely everyone knows by now what she really is – tres chic!

Pacific Ballet Dance Theatre Remounts Acclaimed ‘The Little Match Girl’ Premiere Los Angeles-Area Company Performs at El Portal Theatre Nov. 21 & 22 A classic holiday story gets a thoughtful and heartfelt spin from Pacific Ballet Dance Theatre when it remounts its critically acclaimed The Little Match Girl at the El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood on Saturday, Nov. 21 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 22 at 3

p.m.

At Christmastime in Victorian England, some are preparing for a joyful holiday while others are scrounging for work. A little girl, motherless since she was a toddler, braves the cold and tries to sell matches to support herself

and her father. Freezing, she lights a match for warmth and a magical world is illuminated where there is color, happiness, and love. Can her imagination keep her alive while the real world is closing in? In 2009, Artistic Director Natasha Middleton and

narrator/writer Richard Gilkerson wrote this story ballet, complete with narration and old English music, to recreate Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved tale “The Little Match Girl.” Additional influence came from the musical and story Scraps. This will be Middleton’s third time producing the show. She said, “The Little Match Girl is one of my favorite period pieces, from the costumes to the music to the character ballet mixed with Celtic clogging... and of course, the storyline that holds a candle to my own heart." The cast of The Little Match Girl is: Elen Harutunyan as The Little Match Girl, Artur Alexsanyan as Jeb Macklin, Damara Titmus as Josie the Pub Dancer, Zachary Leighton as The Pie Man, Brandon Forrest as Arthur the Servant Boy, Emily Braff as Eliza Fairbrother, Chloe Tilton as Charlotte Fairbrother, Coco Grayson as Arabella Bradley, Carol Ferris as Winifred, C.C. Taul as Maude, Heather Blades as Mrs. Denning the Cook, Philippe Leibzig as Mr. Hawkins the Butler, and Natalie Grina, Musetta Rubin, and Marine De Vachon as The Arcangels.

Written by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen in 1845, ‘The Little Match Girl’ is a holiday story of sorrow, beauty, and hope. – Photo Courtesy Pacific Ballet Dance Theatre

Tickets are $39-49 and available at www.elportaltheatre.com or (818) 508-4200. The El Portal Theatre is located at 5269 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood CA 91601 in the NoHo Arts District. Ample public parking is available around the venue as is public transportation. Beverages, beer, wine, and snacks will be available in the lobby. Pacific Ballet Dance

Theatre, under the direction of Natasha Middleton, is celebrating its 14th season. Over the past decade, the company has become one of the major dance companies in Los Angeles. The dancers come from such companies as the Dresden Ballet, Armenian National Ballet, Nevada Ballet, and Denver Ballet.

Launching the Playhouse’s new ‘Silent Sundays’ series is the 1920 classic, The Mark of Zorro, starring the King of Hollywood, Douglas Fairbanks on Nov. 29. In this swashbuckling adventure set during the Mission period, Fairbanks plays the passionless, laid back Don Diego Vega by day. By nightfall, he is the romantic, masked Zorro, a master swordsman who fights against the injustices caused by a corrupt Governor. Fairbanks’ charming personality, sense of humor, and athleticism lit up the silver screen. The Mark of Zorro was a box office smash making more money on its opening day than any other movie up to that time. Accompanying the film on the Playhouse’s 1924

Azusa Council Approves Funds for Pavement Assessment, Unmarked Police Vehicles Continued from page 1

The Sierra Madre City Council seems to like to work overtime trying to convince the people that the only way to keep our Police Department, Fire Department and Library is to vote to increase the U.U.T. back to the original figure in order to provide their services to the people This has gone on for months and all they talk about is the "General Plan" and the one million dollar loss of U.U.T. income. They even went so far as to publish a brochure on the subject, which is loaded with one-sided stilted information and half-truths. For instance, they say the total of full time positions are 61 and their part-time workers are listed as 54,135 hours. How many people make up these part-time hours? The Fire Department and Police Department alone added up to well over 100 workers. They talked about the General Fund and the $8M income, but they don't mention the twenty-two plus million dollar income which is more than one million

dollars more than last year. One Council Member showed wisdom when he stated that every household has to adjust their spending according to their income and the City needed to do the same. Unfortunately, that statement fell on deaf ears and they kept talking as to how much to raise the utility tax. One Revenue Committee volunteer stated that the City Mana`ger told the committee that they reduced the budget by more than two and a half million dollars by not filling employee positions of those that left. Several basic questions come to mind: First, how many people work for the City, including full-time, part-time, volunteers and how much money does that cost? If two and a half million was saved by not adding employees a year ago, then how much more can be saved by further employee cuts? Secondly, how many new employees were added since the second defeat

of the increase attempt in 2014, and how much money do the new hires add to the cost? The City continued to hire even with the knowledge of the reduction. Thirdly, did the City cut the Police, Fire, or Library while the employee fluctuations were taking place? Of course not! Fourth, if the city is short on finances, then why did all the employees receive a pay increase this year? Fifth, what did the City do to balance the budget before we had no utility tax? The people do not have to be informed or retrained by the use of one-sided, tilted information. The voters are not stupid and they have seen the government grow by leaps and bounds ever since they moved into the buildings that they currently occupy. The simple message is cut the size of government and stop increasing the burden on the voters. Cut the budget and NO TAX INCREASE! -Sierra Madre Watchman

mitted to Bobadilla late last month. "Our knowledge of local codes, regulations, and governmental procedures, as well as the relationships we have developed with regulatory agencies through our experience on similar projects in Southern California will expedite the delivery of your project," the proposal states. RKA's study will consist of three phases: research leading to the construction of an up-to-date database of Azusa's street system "including street length, width, segments, classification, and pavement type"; "a field survey to identify the current condition of the pavement"; and finally an assortment of reporting tasks documenting the findings of the research and survey phases, the proposal explains. A primary task of the consulting firm's engineers will be to classify pavement "distresses" such as cracking, distortions, patching, utility cuts, rutting, depres-

sions, weathering and raveling. "These distresses will be the basis for preparing the analysis and recommendations for the pavement repairs for the final report," the proposal states. "I'm glad to see that a pavement management plan is being developed," Azusa resident Jorge Rosales told council members. "It's something that is good for the city to have, to know what the conditions of the streets are throughout the city." Lease for Unmarked Police Vehicles Renewed The council exercised its option to waive the municipal code's requirement for a competitive bidding process and authorized officials to renew a lease agreement with Enterprise Fleet Services in Ontario for nine unmarked police vehicles. In 2012 the city leased for four years the assortment of sedans, SUVs and minivans used by Azusa Police Department detectives and command staff, and the

lease agreement is set to expire in July. Monthly costs for each replacement vehicle range between $300 and $400, according to a city staff report. "Within the Cityâ€™s Purchasing Ordinance ... an exception is provided to the competitive bidding process when the purchase is processed through a cooperative purchasing agreement, with another public agency whose procurement process is consistent with the City of Azusa," the report explains. "The West Contra Costa Unified School District announced a Request for Proposal ... for lease vehicles. Enterprise Fleet Services was awarded the Contract ... because they were determined to be the lowest bidder in which vehicles are leased on both a short and long-term basis." The report also notes a state grant provides funding for three of the vehicles, while the city's general fund pays for the remainder of the unmarked motor pool.

Former NFL Player at Super Bowl High School Honor Roll Program at Temple City High At the Temple City High School Homecoming Assembly on Friday, Nov. 6, Kent Kramer presented his alma mater with an NFL Golden Football courtesy of the Super Bowl High School Honor Roll Program. Kent graduated from Temple City High School in 1962. He played Varsity Football for three years

and was an All-CIF pick in 1961 for the undefeated TCHS Rams. After graduation, Kent played college football at the University of Minnesota and went on to play in the National Football League with the San Francisco 49ers, New Orleans Saints, Minnesota Vikings, and the Philadelphia Eagles. In 1970, he

was with the Minnesota Vikings when they played the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl IV. The Super Bowl High School Honor Roll celebrates high schools and communities that have contributed to Super Bowl history. High schools across the nation and around the world are receiving a com-

memorative Golden Football from every player or head coach who graduated from their school and was on an active Super Bowl roster. Nearly 3,000 players and head coaches and more than 2,000 high schools are being recognized. This platform is designed to link the past 49 Super Bowls with this year’s

game and honor players, head coaches, high schools, and communities that have positively impacted the game. The NFL Foundation will provide high schools with a new character education curriculum and the opportunity to apply for grants of up to $5,000 to help support and grow their football programs.

cember 10, 2015. We have been warned from scientists to meteorologists that El Nino is going to be a whopper- perhaps the biggest most destructive in California’s history. On Monday, Coloradans got their first taste of this year's El Niño-fueled storms, when a snowstorm predicted to drop up to 20 inches hit the state, canceling more than 200 flights at Denver International Airport, with almost 50 anticipated cancelations for Tuesday morning. Winds of up to 50 m.p.h. and blowing snow were predicted to make dangerous commutes, even as snowfall lets

up later in the day. But it is not just the United States that’ll feel the effects of El Nino: Severe droughts and flooding are already underway in the tropics and subtropical regions of the world, and they bear all the marks of the pattern, said the head of the U.N. World Meteorological Organization at a news conference on Monday. The current El Nino is likely to be among the "worst ever," the U.N. said, though the organization pointed out that the world is better prepared for the fallout than in the past. U.N.

The City of El Monte Held a Vigil for Paris Terror Victim Nohemi Gonzalez Continesd from page 1

United States, local police and intelligence agencies are on full alert: Pasadena’s Chief of Police, Phillip Sanchez sent out the following communique on Friday night: “On 13 November, gunmen armed with assault rifles and explosives attacked several locations in what appeared coordinated attacks against populated, public venues. “The Pasadena Police Department’s Counter Terrorists Unit is in frequent contact with the FBI, JTTF, and JRIC regarding the attacks. There are no specific threats in our region / community; however, following our usual protocol first responders will monitor critical areas in our city. I would like to remind you to be vigilant (See Something; Say Something) and report suspicious activity to the Pasadena Police Department. Non-emergency incidents should be reported to (626) 744-4241. In progress crimes should be reported to 9-1-1.” Sanchez concluded his email, “Please keep the victims, their families, and first responders in your prayers.” Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. Monday released the following statement regarding the death of California State University, Long Beach

student Nohemi Gonzalez: “On behalf of all Californians, Anne and I extend our deepest condolences to the Gonzalez family, Nohemi’s friends, and the entire Long Beach State community impacted by this senseless tragedy.” In recognition of the victims of the Paris terrorist attacks, Capitol flags will be flown at half-staff. While there is no known, specific or credible threat to California or the United States at this time, Governor Brown has directed his Office of Emergency Services to fully activate the California State Threat Assessment System and continue working with local, state and federal law enforcement and emergency services officials to ensure all necessary steps are taken to keep Californians safe. The California State Threat Assessment System assists in the detection, prevention, investigation and response to criminal and terrorist activity; and disseminates intelligence and facilitates communications between state, local, federal, and tribal agencies as well as private sector partners, to help them take action on threats. President Obama said that airstrikes by the U.S.-led

coalition have been effective in taking out key members of the terror group’s leadership and that a large presence of ground troops in Syria would be a “mistake.” An increasing number of critics, particularly the GOP, have called for a more aggressive U.S. military effort in fighting ISIS, but Obama says no. “It is not just my view but the view of my closest military and civilian advisers that that would be a mistake,” Obama said, adding that is “because we would see a repetition of what we’ve seen before, which is if you do not have local populations that are committed to inclusive governance and who are pushing back against ideological extremes, that they resurface, unless we’re prepared to have a permanent occupation of these countries.” Last month, Obama committed to sending “less than 50” Special Operations forces to the region to fight ISIS, also known as ISIL. President Barack Obama said ISIS is “the face of evil” and called on nations to do more to combat the threat it poses. He said that rather than cast about for a new strategy, the U.S. would intensify its current campaign

of airstrikes and arming and training moderate forces. In a video released Monday, the Islamic State threatened all countries involved in the airstrikes against Syria, including the United States, saying that they would suffer the same fate as France. The French government has called the Paris attacks an act of war and said it would not end its air strikes against Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. French fighter jets launched their biggest raids in Syria to date on Sunday, targeting the Islamic State’s stronghold in the city of Raqqa, in coordination with U.S. forces. “Taking the life of an innocent is an assault on our hearts and on our world. Nohemi was an innocent of great promise, a light in our community,” said Jane Close

Conoley, UCLB President. “We gather today to honor and to mourn Nohemi by sharing our remembrances of her and our love for her. While today’s vigil is focused on Nohemi and her cherished family, friends, and professors, we can’t help but experience the anguish felt by all those people of good will around the world suffering after these tragic attacks. Our hearts are one.” A massive international manhunt has sparked raids across France and Belgium. French and Belgian authorities launched raids across both countries on Monday, Nov. 16 and arrested several people in connection with last week’s deadly attacks in Paris, as officials named a Belgian national the alleged mastermind. French police raided 168 locations across the coun-

try and detained nearly two dozen people, as authorities identified more members of an Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) sleeper cell said to be behind the bombing and shooting attacks that killed 129 people and injured hundreds of others. France’s Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said police arrested 23 people and recovered a Kalashnikov, a rocket launcher and other weapons during the overnight raids. In Belgium, heavily armed police on Monday morning launched a major operation in the Molenbeek neighborhood of Brussels, which authorities consider to be a focal point for fighters traveling to Syria from Belgium.

During qualifying last weekend Force posted a solid 3.990 second run which secured the No. 10 qualifying position for the 143-time Funny Car national event winner. Robert Hight and the Auto Club Chevrolet Camaro SS Funny Car raced veteran Tim Wilkerson in the first round. Hight made three runs in the 3.9 second range in qualifying including a 3.945 second run in the first session of Saturday that was the third quickest of the session. In the last qualifying session under the lights Hight overpowered the track and his team went into race day knowing how hard is too hard to push his 10,000 hp Funny Car. This year Hight is 2-0 versus Wilkerson with wins at the season opening Winternationals in first round and a semi-final win on his way to victory the Lucas Oil Nationals in Brainerd. Hight is 2-1 versus Wilkerson at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona. The Monster Energy Top Fuel dragster and Brittany Force went into race day as the No. 12 qualifier. She faced Richie Crampton who she is battling for a

top finish in the points. “We want to finish the season strong and get that first win. I know my team has been working so hard and I love

racing at Auto Club Raceway. This is my home track and would be a great place to get my first win. We struggled a little in qualifying but

I have a lot of confidence in my crew chiefs Todd Smith and Ronnie Thompson,” said Force, a two-time finalist this season.

Sharp Seating By J. Shadé Quintanilla One of the most anticipated events on the year, the Rose Parade brings thousands looking for an experience of a lifetime along Colorado Boulevard. Who’s responsible for making sure parade-goers have a seat for show? Sharp Seating is. Established about 85 years ago, Sharp Seating was one of the first companies to build a grandstand for the Rose Parade. Jack Milne, the 1937 World Speedway Racing Champion and America’s first motorcycle racer to ever win a world championship, first built bleachers in front of his car dealership in Pasadena and along the front of the parade. “We’re not the first ever to build a grandstand for the parade, but probably the second,” said Sindee Riboli, current president of the company. What started as a few bleachers along the parade route lead Sharp Seating into becoming the official seating company for the world renowned New Year’s parade. As the official seating company, Sharp Seating builds all of the grandstands along route, creating around

For the best Rose Parade seats, there is only one place to turn: Sharp Seating.

85,000 seats for spectators. Tickets for seats on the grandstands range between $48 and $95 and parking is between $30 and $60 (RV parking is $250 and up). Sharp Seating begins selling these tickets the first working day in February, and

even early in the year, the company is “jam-packed” with ticket requests. In addition, the company sells tickets to events before and after the parade. Interested parade goers have their pick of a variety of events including

the Equestfest and Bandfest. According to Riboli, although customers’ interests vary, one of the most popular events Sharp Seating sells tickets for is decorating places. Spectators can witness the decorating process for the floats dur-

ing the days leading up to the parade at three different locations in Pasadena. Another popular event is Post Parade, where up to 15,000 ticket holders can get an upclose and personal view of all of the featured floats. Riboli been working

for the company for over 30 years and has been involved with the Rose Parade ever since she was a child. She cannot pinpoint a favorite parade because every year is special and unique, but she loves her job because she can help put on unforgettable event every year. “I’m just one component of the picture, but I think it’s a lot more exciting and fun in selling widgets,” she said “We get to make people’s dreams come true-we get to fill their bucket list. We get to make people happy.” Although most of the better seats have already been sold, Sharp Seating still has plenty of tickets available for those interested. According to Riboli, attendees for the 2016 parade should except to see a whimsical float from Trader’s Joes and one of the largest high school bands—with 775 band members—to ever walk the parade route. The ticket office for Sharp Seating is located at 1737 E. Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena. For tickets or more information, please call (626) 795-4171 or visit www.sharpseating.com.

California Home Sales and Price Decrease in October Affordability Crunch Impacts Housing Market California’s housing market softened in October as both statewide sales and median price contracted from the previous month and is still on target to meet forecast projections, the Arcadia Association of Realtors® (A.A.R.) said. Home sales exceeded the 400,000 level in October for the seventh consecutive month and posted higher on a year-to-year basis for the ninth straight month. Closed escrow sales of existing, single-family detached homes in California totaled a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 403,510 units in October, according to information collected by the California Association of Realtors® (C.A.R.) from more than 90 local REALTOR® associations and MLSs statewide. The statewide sales figure represents what would be the total number of homes sold during 2015 if sales maintained the October pace throughout the year. It is adjusted to account for seasonal factors that typically influence home sales. The October figure was down 5.1 percent from the revised 425,120 level in September and up 1.3 percent compared with home

sales in October 2014 of a revised 398,510. The yearto-year increase was the lowest since January 2015 and was significantly below the six-month average of 9.7 percent observed between April 2015 and September 2015. “The slowdown in October’s home sales could be attributed to the financial turmoil and global economic uncertainty that took place in August and September, as some prospective buyers took a wait-and-see approach,” said 2015 C.A.R. President Joe Pacilio of Century 21 Masters in Arcadia. “With job growth increasing the most since late 2014 and interest rates remaining below 4 percent, the demand for housing should continue to grow at a modest pace. Statewide sales are on track to finish the year with a mid-single-digit increase from last year.” The median price of an existing, single-family detached California home slipped 1.3 percent in October to $475,990 from a revised $482,150 in September. October’s median price was 5.7 percent higher than the revised $450,460 recorded in October 2014. The median sales price is

the point at which half of homes sold for more and half sold for less; it is influenced by the types of homes selling as well as a general change in values. “Housing affordability is an issue in many parts of California, and the impact it has on sales varies from region to region. In the Bay Area, a persistent shortage of homes for sale put upward pressure on housing prices and is now presenting significant affordability challenges to home buyers in the region,” said A.A.R. CEO Andrew Cooper. “With home prices in the Bay Area averaging more than 7 percent higher than a year ago, we’re now seeing the negative effect on sales due to low housing affordability as higher prices have put homebuying out of reach for many potential buyers.” Representing local Realtors® in the San Gabriel Valley for 91 years, the Arcadia Association of Realtors® (www.TheAAR.com) is one of the oldest trade organizations in CA. The AAR is dedicated to the advancement of professionalism in real estate and is an advocate for private property rights. A.A.R. is headquartered in Arcadia.

The slowdown in October’s home sales could be attributed to the financial turmoil and global economic uncertainty, however many new homes are under construction in Arcadia despite the recent opposition to large home building permits (above) & (below). -Photos by Terry Miller

The bill also ensures that qualified acupuncturist services are covered by Medicare so that seniors have another effective treatment option available to them. In addition to increasing access, the bill recognizes the important contributions of this medical field and makes acupuncturists eligible for appointments as Commissioned Officers in the Armed Forces and

Governor Brown Announces Under 2 MOU Climate Agreement Milestone; Signatories Now Exceed U.S. Economy in Combined GDP

Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. today announced that with the addition of the Federal Republic of Germany, along with the German regions of Bavaria, Schleswig-Holstein and Thuringia and the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna to the Under 2 MOU climate agreement, the combined GDP of signatories and endorsers has surpassed that of the United States, the world’s largest economy. “From Germany to Brazil to China and beyond, this pact is uniting the world’s leaders around a common goal: preventing catastrophic changes to our climate,” said Governor Brown. “If enough cities, states, regions – and even countries – join us, we can overcome the sheer complacency that threatens the well-being of humanity itself.” The announcement comes as Governor Brown delivers keynote remarks at the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ 6th Annual Clock Symposium – named after the iconic Doomsday Clock which represents a meta-

phorical countdown to possible global catastrophe – today in Chicago, Illinois. Citing “climate change, global nuclear weapons modernizations, and outsized nuclear weapons arsenals” as “extraordinary and undeniable threats to the continued existence of humanity,” the Clock was moved from 5 minutes to 3 minutes to midnight in 2015. The Under 2 MOU is a global pact amongst cities, states and countries to limit the increase in global average temperature to below 2 degrees Celsius – the warming threshold at which scientists say there will likely be catastrophic climate disruptions. Collectively, 57 jurisdictions from 19 countries and five continents have now signed or endorsed the Under 2 MOU, collectively representing more than $17.5 trillion in GDP and 572 million people. If the signatories represented a single country, it would now be the largest economy in the world by GDP, surpassing the United States.

The milestone was reached when leaders of the Federal Republic of Germany and the German regions of Bavaria, SchleswigHolstein and Thuringia endorsed the Under 2 MOU at the German Environmental Ministers’ Conference in Augsburg, Germany last week. Leaders from the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna also signed the pact during a visit to California last week. Under the agreement, signatories commit to either reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80 to 95 percent below 1990 levels by 2050 or achieve a per capita annual emission target of less than 2 metric tons by 2050. These targets allow each individual government to tailor emission reduction plans to fit regional needs. The pact seeks to enhance cooperation to achieve these goals through a range of activities, including: Developing mid-term targets needed to support long-term reduction goals; Sharing technology,

scientific research and best practices to promote energy efficiency and renewable energy; Collaborating to expand the use of zeroemission vehicles; Taking steps to ensure consistent monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions; Improving air quality by reducing short-lived climate pollutants such as black carbon and methane; and Assessing the projected impacts of climate change on communities. California's Leadership on Climate Change: As the clock ticks for national governments to reach a deal to reduce harmful emissions ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, Governor Brown continues to focus on building and broadening collaboration amongst cities, states and provinces at the “subnational level.” Governor Brown recently joined an unprecedented alliance of heads of state, city and state leaders – convened by the World Bank Group and Interna-

tional Monetary Fund – to urge countries and companies around the globe to put a price on carbon. The "Carbon Pricing Panel" includes: German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, French President François Hollande, Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, Philippine President Benigno Aquino III, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and Rio de Janeiro Mayor Eduardo Paes. In recent months the Governor has traveled to the United Nations in New York, the Vatican in Italy and the Climate Summit of the Americas in Toronto, Canada to call on others leaders to join California in the fight against climate change. These efforts build on a number of other international climate change agreements with leaders fromMexico, China, North America, Japan, Israel, Peru and Chile. Governor Brown also helped convene hundreds of world-renowned researchers and scientists to issue a groundbreak-

ing call to action – called the consensus statement – which translates key scientific climate findings from disparate fields into one unified document. Last month, Governor Brown signed landmark legislation – SB 350 – that codified the goals he laid out in his January 2015 inaugural address to double the rate of energy efficiency savings in California buildings and generate half of the state's electricity from renewable sources by 2030. In the same remarks, Governor Brown also committed to reduce today's petroleum use in cars and trucks by up to 50 percent within the next 15 years; make heating fuels cleaner; reduce the release of methane, black carbon and other potent pollutants across industries; and manage farm and rangelands, forests and wetlands so they can store carbon. The impacts of climate change are already being felt in California and will disproportionately impact the state's most vulnerable populations.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson announced that the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) data for the class of 2015 are now available. As a result of two bills signed into law by the governor, the CAHSEE exam is no longer required for students to get their high school diploma.

Senate Bill 725, signed into law on Aug. 26, 2015, suspended the CAHSEE as a diploma requirement for students completing grade twelve in 2015 who met all other graduation requirements. Senate Bill 172, signed into law on Oct. 7, 2015, retroactively eliminates the CAHSEE as a requirement for graduation going back to

the class of 2006, requiring local educational agencies to grant diplomas to students who had completed all graduation requirements, except passing the CAHSEE. The law will become effective on Jan. 1, 2016. The law also suspends the CAHSEE as a graduation requirement for the classes of 2016, 2017, and 2018 and requires the State Superintendent of Public Instruction to convene an advisory panel to make recommendations to replace the CAHSEE. The pass rate for the class of 2015 was 95.8 percent - exceeding the record pass rate from last year by 0.3 percent. The preliminary 2014–15 results are for the July, October, November, and December 2014 and the February, March, and May 2015 test administrations. Results for the 2014-15 CAHSEE, including a summary report and accompanying data tables, are posted on the CDE CAHSEE 201415 Summary Results page. Individual student CAHSEE results are confidential and are not included in the Internet posting.

Duarte Senior Age Survey Now Available for Review Online In 2014 the Duarte Parks and Recreation Department surveyed a proportionate representation of Duarte’s senior citizens ages 55 years and older. The goal for this survey process was to produce a viable assessment of the needs of Duarte’s senior citizens to assist the department in determining policies for senior services in the community and to also create a guide to develop improved programming at the Senior Center. Following federal standards, the U.S. Census Bureau designates Senior Citizens as 65 years and older however, the Duarte Parks and Recreation Department’s policy for senior programs uses ages 55 years and older as the threshold to designate a participant as a Senior Citizen and eligible to participate in Senior Center programs. Therefore the goal was to survey seniors 55 years and older. Every effort was made to include questions that would assist in identifying Duartespecific needs and questions were used that were topical and that dealt with current issues such as the upcoming Gold Line commuter system. Additionally, the Department wanted to understand how successful current efforts have been to provide high

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid on 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 the outstanding lien 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 California Civil Code.

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 inves-

tigate 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 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000004627857.

Key Club Members Celebrate 100-Year Anniversary story By Jonathan Tsou

Two different divisions doing their cheers to see who has more spirit. - Photo by Chris Chen

On Nov. 14, thousands of Key Club members from Southern California, Nevada, and Hawaii arrived at Six Flags Magic Mountain to celebrate Key Club's 100 year anniversary and to meet other dedicated Key Club members. Key Club is one of the largest and oldest high school service clubs. Internationally, Key Club represents 34 nationals, which 260,000 members. Started as a way to combat student fraternity it has been built into a group that provides 12 million hours of service annually. Although, Key Club is known for its high school clubs, they also have many other programs including Kiwanis Kids for elementary students, Circle K for University and College Service, and Aktion Club for adult citizens to help with adults living with disabilities. Fall Rally is held every year, one in Northern California at Six Flags Discov-

ery Kingdom and another in Southern California at Six Flags Magic Mountain. A large portion of ticket sales and merchandise sales go toward the Pediatric Trauma Program. Many schools throughout San Gabriel Valley send their students. Including, San Marino High School, Arcadia High School, Monrovia High School, El Monte High School, Arroyo High School, West Covina High School, and many others. These schools, along with many others, are part of California-NevadaHawaii District Key Club International, more commonly known as CNH. The district has 45,500 members and consists of 75 Divisions throughout the three states. At Six Flags Magic Mountain, divisions are assigned to four rally times. The leader of each group is "auctioned" off to division and is allowed to spend a designated period of time with the "auctioned"

leader. In 2014, the Fall Rallies generated more than $130,000 for the Pediatric Trauma Program. Division 35 West Lieutenant-Governor, Austin Ly, who governs Arcadia, Baldwin Park, Duarte, Los Altos, Glendora, and many other Key Club schools believe that Key Club "allows students to become an integral role in our community by volunteering and fundraising for various charities." Fall Rally allows Key Club members "to meet up and to celebrate service and fundraising while not to be judged by those who do not see the club for it's worth." He also acknowledged that Key Club allowed him to grow from an introverted shy kid to a leader of more than one thousand members from 12 different schools. Arcadia's Key Club President, Cynthia Guo, said that Key Club has changed her life. When she was a freshman, going to Fall Rally made her fall in love with Key Club and what Key Club does for the community. Every year, Key Club International hosts many events other than the Fall Rally to allow students to meet and to collaborate

with others. These include the district convention, also known as DCON, where Key Club members are able to be elected as leader, to learn service projects, and to attend workshops. Another is the Key Club International con-

vention which occurs in July. At the convention, members are able to elect international officers, to discuss policies and to discuss new programs. For more information on Key Club and future events, visit their website.
