George Fasching Leads Campaign to Get Denny’s to Fire Up Historic Van De Camp Windmill BY TERRY MILLER
The original Van de Kamp windmill, seen here on Monday evening at sundown, may soon be in motion again if George Fasching has anything to say about it, and he does.
Van de Kamp’s Holland Dutch Bakery, founded in 1915, was a Los Angeles institution for much of the twentieth century. Its trademark Dutch windmill appeared on its bakeries
and coffee shops across the region, but today only one windmill survives intact, atop a Denny’s on the corner of Huntington and Santa Anita avenues. According to LA Con-
servancy, the building was completed in 1967 and was designed by Pasadena architects Harold Bissner and Harold Zook. It features a large update of the company’s Dutch windmill sitting
atop the building’s circular folded-plate roof. You have to hand it to former Mayor of Arcadia, George Fasching: Not only does he keep our horseless carriages shining brightly

Temple City Woman Perishes in House Fire
BY JOHN GOVORCHIN Now let’s talk about float building. My first experience was in December of 1966. We worked in a tent that was erected the day before Thanksgiving. Jerry Atkins erected the temporary power pole ahead of time and arranged for the power supply. He further installed electric lights in the tent the same afternoon it was erected. Others placed the Chevrolet Corvair chassis and the welding equipment into the tent. We had only a rendering to guide us in building the float.
First we had to extend the chassis front and back and on both sides. It was interesting because the parking lot that we work on sloped from north to south, and the float was positioned to be driven west. We had to work day and night because we only had one month to do everything, including the flowering, which only allowed about three weeks for construction. The Corvair engine was air-cooled and we never overheated or

LASD Launches Comprehensive Transparency Project The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is pleased to announce the official launch of the Department’s Public Data Sharing Project and the creation of the Chief Data Officer role. This collaborative effort involved the LASD Professional Standards Division, LASD Technology & Support Division and the Office of the Inspector General to release
one of the nation’s most comprehensive data sets from a law enforcement agency. The Public Data Sharing Project begins with a reporting of Deputy Involved Shooting information. "From my first day as Sheriff, I have sought to set a clear tone underscoring that the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department is accountable to those we protect and serve
and that we must hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity and constitutional policing,” states Sheriff Jim McDonnell. “We must continuously earn the trust of our community. This starting point, and my abiding commitment to partnering with our County's rich and diverse community, has been a guide post for me throughout my decades in law enforcement."
The initial launch provides the public the opportunity to review deputy involved shooting data between 2010 and the present. This is the first of several data sets to be released. The remaining categories will include use of force, public complaints and employee discipline to name a few. The data which is connected to the LA County Open Data

Initiative provides tools that enable the public to view the information in a map, bar graph, or pie chart. The information is customizable and downloadable in different formats based on user preferences. During the development of the Public Data Sharing Project, the LASD worked in consultation with the Sheriff’s Department executive team, the Office of the Inspector General, labor unions and best practices recommended by academics and similar law enforcement agencies that have developed their own data sharing initiatives. The LASD has also been an active member agency on the White House Technology and Data Innovation for Transparency and Accountability in Policing program since its inception in April 2015. Division Director Dean Gialamas, who serves as CIO for the Sheriff’s Department, has represented the LASD in this effort and that experience helped shape the need for a department chief data officer. “Honest and transparent communications, and open data sets like those we have released, build trust
and confidence with the public. The creation of a Chief Data Officer, the first in law enforcement, allows the LA County Sheriff’s Department to leverage community partnerships to enhance public safety and risk management decision making,” says Director Gialamas Assistant Director, Wendy Harn, a 30 year veteran of the Sheriff’s Department and the creator of the department’s Crime Analysis Program, has been appointed to the role of LASD Chief Data Officer. “My hope is to transform the vast amounts of data we generate every day into meaningful information that can help us and the public better understand what the Sheriff’s Department does and to give context to relevant events as they occur,” says Ms. Harn, “We hope the sharing of data will leverage public partnerships with us to create and sustain safer communities.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has been advised that citizens are receiving phone calls from individuals who are representing themselves as Department employees. The caller usually tells the citizen that there has been a warrant issued for their arrest for failure to appear for Jury Duty. The caller will tell the victim that they have to pay a sum of money or deputies will come and arrest them. The caller will instruct the victim to either get a Money Order, conduct a wire transfer, or buy a Gift Card (usually Green Dot) and send it to “pay the fine.” BE ALERT, BE ADVISED, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department or any Government Agency will never call and solicit money for fines. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department does not solicit warrant information by phone. The Sheriff’s Department or any Government Agency will never ask you to get a Money Order, Gift Card, or wire transfer. Sheriff Department personnel will never go to your home to collect a fee for a warrant. BE AWARE, never give your personal information
to anyone over the phone. Do not give callers information about your bank account, pin numbers, Social Security number or any type of identifying information. Phone Scam Thieves are just that - “thieves” - they will try and trick you into giving them money and information. If you receive a call protect yourself, your information and do not send money! If you receive a phone call, always verify who the caller truly is, do not use a phone number they provide you as verification. Usually numbers provided by the thief will go to a voice recording/message. Call your local Sheriff Station to verify any solicitation. If you have sent money or believe that you are a victim of a crime, please call your local Sheriff’s Station or Police Department and report the incident. If you receive a suspicious phone call/solicitation that you believe is not from a real government agency, please contact The Department of Consumer Affairs at (800) 593-8222.

Mayor Eric Garcetti and U.S. Navy officials announced that Los Angeles has been selected as an official Fleet Week market for the U.S. Navy, beginning in 2016. LA Fleet Week will run through Labor Day, with active military ships beginning to arrive in the days preceding the end-ofsummer holiday weekend. LA Fleet Week will offer Angelenos greater access to ships, equipment, and sea service life than ever before. “As a Navy reservist, representing a City and Port with a rich military history, it’s an honor to announce the addition of Los Angeles to the Navy’s annual Fleet Week roster,” said Mayor Garcetti. “LA Fleet Week at America’s Port will be a great annual tradition for Angelenos to visit the LA Waterfront, tour ships, enjoy a variety of activities, and gain a deeper appreciation of our enlisted men and women.” “LA Fleet Week will be a fantastic opportunity to showcase the greatest fleet and Sailors in the world and further strengthen the connection between the citizens of Los Angeles and their Navy,” said Vice Admiral Nora Tyson. "We look forward to participating in this exciting event and appreciate the opportunity to bring the Fleet to L.A.” “We are excited to host LA Fleet Week on the LA
Waterfront,” added Gene Seroka, Executive Director of the Port of Los Angeles. “It’s our goal to work with partners — like the Battleship IOWA, the United States Navy League, and a host of other local stakeholders — to develop LA Fleet Week into a worldclass event and honored Labor Day holiday tradition here in Southern California.” Like other Fleet Week
events, LA Fleet Week will also include Defense Support to Civil Authorities meetings between the Navy and local first responders, an air show component, and participation of U.S. Marines and Coast Guardsmen.

A mother was convicted Monday of three counts of first-degree murder for fatally stabbing her young daughters last year, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. Carol Ann Coronado, 32, was found guilty by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Ricardo Ocampo of fatally stabbing 2-year-old Sophia, 16-month-old Yazmine, and 2-month-old Xenia. Their bodies were discovered inside the family’s Torrance residence. The judge also found true the special circumstance of multiple
murders. Deputy District Attorney Emily Spear is prosecuting the case. Coronado, who waived her right to a jury trial, returns to the Compton Branch court in Department J on Tuesday to begin the sanity phase of her trial in case BA425234. If she is found to have been sane when the crime occurred on May 20, 2014, she faces life in prison without the possibility of parole. Prosecutors were not seeking the death penalty. The case was investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

mine,” she said. Another “quality-oflife issue” Barger focused on was libraries, parks and open space. “That’s an expectation by the people paying into our system,” Barger said. “So maintaining and increasing access to the parks that we have is a commitment of mine.” Though most candidates vying for the 5th District seat identify as Republicans, given shifting demographics throughout the county it is not inconceivable that the winner could be the board’s lone member of the GOP. “My father was insurance commissioner under then-Governor Ronald Reagan, so I was raised in a home that truly was about Reagan Republicans,” Barger said. “Mike [Antonovich] came from the legislature where you had Willie Brown in charge, and Mike worked across the aisle to make things happen. So I’ve had a mentor in my father and in Mike who both have been about reaching across the aisle.” The candidate also credited her father, Richards Barger, as the chief inspiration that inspired her dedication to public service. “It’s not about the pay, it’s about giving back,” she said. Barger observed that she does not “have that partisan view of politics” after working at the board level for three decades and pointed to her bipartisan assortment of endorsements from numerous elected officials including Antonovich, 3rd District

Angeles for a brief stint at the L.A. Mart home decor showrooms, then to a job with Anne LeGassick, “who was the primary fundraiser for the Republican Party in California,” Barger recalled. From there Barger began her long tenure as an Antonovich staffer when she received an offer to work in his office focusing on health care and social services. Barger discussed several key prongs of her campaign platform that offer a glimpse of where she would focus her energies if elected in the general election next fall. “My key policy priorities are public safety – maintaining a level of public safety in the 5th District and in the County of Los Angeles – to me that’s a quality-of-life issue and a key issue as well as continuing to grow the economic engine of L.A. County,” Barger said. “In looking at the 5th District, especially the Antelope Valley which truly is rebranding itself, we have an incredible relationship with the cities of Lancaster and Palmdale which have in the past been known for aerospace now are looking at bringing in manufacturing jobs. So partnering with them, I remain committed to bringing in businesses.” Barger pointed out two companies involved in building trains and electric buses destined for use in the public transportation systems throughout the county. “So building on that momentum to bring manufacturing businesses in, which truly does drive our economy and stabilizes the middle class, that remains a strong commitment of

While this may be Kathryn Barger’s first run for elected office, her bid to represent the 5th District on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is by no means her first foray into the world of California politics. From her early years as the daughter of a former state insurance commissioner to her lengthy stint as chief of staff to outgoing incumbent Michael Antonovich, Barger has a lifetime of experience inside the local political scene. In fact, as her campaign website boasts, “Barger is the only candidate ... who was born, raised, and is a lifelong resident of the Fifth District.” Despite her deep local ties, Barger doesn’t see herself as the heir apparent to her termed-out boss of 28 years who has held office since 1980. “I don’t see myself as a front-runner, I see myself as someone who is truly fighting for this and is willing to fight for this seat,” she said. “I have never run for political office, and I don’t really have aspirations beyond the Board of Supervisors. ... This is not something that is a stepping stone for me.” A graduate of San Marino High School in 1978, Barger earned a bachelor’s degree in communications from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1983. She returned home to the San Gabriel Valley where she interned for the newly elected Antonovich before taking a job in the nation’s capital for a company that provided life insurance to military veterans.

California Supreme Court Upholds Environmental Challenges to Sprawling Newhall Ranch Mega-development The California Supreme Court today struck a severe blow to the Newhall Ranch mega-development project near Los Angeles, upholding environmental claims brought against state wildlife officials by the Center for Biological Diversity, Wishtoyo Foundation/Ventura Coastkeeper, Friends of the Santa Clara River, SCOPE and the California Native Plant Society, and fully reversing a 2014 ruling by the Second Appellate District, Division Five. “This is a tremendous victory for the climate and California’s protected wildlife,” said John Buse, senior counsel and legal director at the Center. “This decision means public officials have to show their work in determining whether massive new development projects will interfere with the state’s climate goals. The court also gave one of California’s rarest fish, and all other fully protected wildlife, a reprieve from eviction in the face of ever-encroaching sprawl.” Newhall Ranch would create a new town of more
than 60,000 residents on a 12,000-acre site in northern Los Angeles County that includes a nearly six-mile stretch of the Santa Clara River. The Santa Clara is the last major free-flowing river in Southern California, and is home to many rare species, including the unarmored three-spined stickleback and southern steelhead. The development also would create new greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to roughly 260,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide each year. The state Supreme Court’s decision today resolves a 2011 suit challenging the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s approvals of permits for the entire development and review under the California Environmental Quality Act. The court’s decision addresses three distinct issues. First, the court concluded it was reasonable for Fish and Wildlife to evaluate the project’s greenhouse gas emissions in light of statewide climate goals. But the court also held that the department’s conclusion —
that the project’s emissions were insignificant because they reduced “business as usual” emissions by roughly the amount identified as necessary in the “scoping plan” for A.B. 32, California’s landmark greenhouse gas reduction law — was not adequately supported by the evidence. The court noted that the scoping plan’s statewide goals could not simply be applied to individual new projects like Newhall Ranch, particularly because it may be far easier to reduce emissions from new developments than from existing buildings. “The Supreme Court got the big picture on climate and sprawl development exactly right,” said Center senior attorney Kevin Bundy. “To make good decisions, we need to know exactly how individual projects fit into California’s overall climate effort. Just taking a statewide analysis out of context and applying it to individual projects doesn’t produce useful results and doesn’t protect our climate.”
On the second issue, the court also agreed with environmental challengers that Fish and Wildlife improperly allowed the capture and relocation of unarmored threespine stickleback, a fish classified as “fully protected” under state law, to facilitate the development. “Thanks to the court’s ruling, California’s fully protected wildlife species are truly fully protected,” said Buse. “The highest level of protection is required, not just for the unarmored threespine stickleback, but for California condors, peregrine falcons and sea otters. Fully protected wildlife species can no longer be evicted from their native habitat to accommodate new subdivisions.” Finally, on the third issue, the court rejected the department’s attempt to discount comments raised by the public, including the Wishtoyo Foundation and Chumash Ceremonial Elder Mati Waiya, regarding the project’s effects on Native American cultural resources and steelhead.

California Outdoors Q&As Keeping Homes Inhospitable to Nuisance Raccoons Question: Raccoons come up through the culverts in our neighborhood and are causing a lot of trouble. Last year, there was one that tore a vent off our house and got in the subfloor and tore up our ducts under there. This year one of them attacked my dog in our back yard. The vet bill was very expensive. Can I trap them in live traps and have animal control euthanize them for me? (Kathy C.) Answer: You can trap them but Animal Control may not want to euthanize them for you. Your best course of action is to concentrate on making your house and yard inhospitable. Bolster up your exterior vents and doors to prevent raccoons and other unwanted wildlife from moving in to use for cover. This also means remove all attractants (dog food, fallen fruit, koi ponds, water fountains, etc.). Even water can be an attractant, especially
this year. If you do all of this but continue to have a problem, the law allows that it is legal to kill raccoons at any time when they are causing damage. Transporting Migratory Game Birds Question: I know the rules state that while bird hunting you must leave a fully feathered wing intact until you get home. When I get back to my trailer at camp (which is considered my second home), can I remove the wings, vacuum seal the bird and freeze it, or do I have to wait until I actually get to my primary home? (Rob D.) Answer: All birds, including migratory game birds, possessed or transported within California must have a fully feathered wing or head attached until placed into a personal abode or commercial preservation facility or until prepared for immediate consumption. Doves must have a fully feathered wing attached (CCR Title 14, section 251.7(b)).
The Office of Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. will join California leaders to announce the launch of CalEITC4me, a statewide campaign involving community, faith, civic, labor, and business leaders to ensure the first-ever California Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) winds up in the hands of those who worked hard to earn it. The campaign will also focus on increasing the availability of free tax preparation services locally. Governor Brown’s 2015-16 Budget established the state’s first EITC, designed to complement the federal EITC. California’s poorest working families will now be eligible for
both state and federal EITC benefits. With nearly $400 million available through the new state ETIC, an estimated $2.3 billion is available for Californians. The webinar to launch CalEITC4me statewide will be hosted Wednesday, Dec. 2, 2015 at 10 a.m. and led by Executive Secretary in the Office of the Governor Nancy McFadden; Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins; State Controller Betty Yee; chair of the CalEITC4Me Campaign Joe Sanberg; United Ways of California president and CEO Pete Manzo; and Central California Legal Services special projects director Manuel Romero.

Don’t Let Others Tell You What to Believe and You Will Achieve Your Goals By Laura Wilcox Charles Schulz, creator of the Peanuts cartoons, was informed by his business partner, Lee Mendelson, in May of 1965 that he had sold a Charlie Brown Christmas Special to Coca Cola. CBS had an interest in airing the cartoon. Schulz went to work immediately.
Once the executives read the final script they were in disagreement with the Christmas special since it had Christian connotations to it. Schulz assumed someone wanted to hear what he had to say and that is why he had a verse from the Gos-
pel of Luke written into the script. Schulz stuck to his guns and did not change a thing. He did not let others statements or beliefs effect what he thought was right. The executives of CBS believed the special would be a flop. This half hour special
aired with 50 percent viewership. Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown received an Emmy and a Peabody award. The day after it aired the executives ordered four more Charlie Brown Specials. Still today Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown, is one of the most popular Christmas
shows on television. Stick to your values and beliefs and don’t give into commercialism. Break through those walls that people try to build around you. Great things will happen when you don’t let others tell you what to believe and think.

Now That’s Funny My friend put a lottery ticket in my birthday card. I didn't win anything but it reminded me of a joke: A woman came home, screeching her car into the driveway, and ran into the house. She slammed the door and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Honey, pack your bags. I won the lottery!" The husband said, "Oh my God! What should I pack, beach stuff or mountain stuff?" "Doesn't matter," she said, "Just get out." Another friend gave me a bottle of good wine.
Reminded me of another joke: Mother Superior called all the nuns together and said to them, "I must tell you all something. We have a case of gonorrhea in the convent." "Thank God," said an elderly nun in the back, "I'm so tired of Chardonnay." That joke reminds me of how shocked I was when my new husband's cousin, who was a nun, asked my father-in-law if he had any good cold beer. He did. I watched in complete shock as she drank it.
I couldn't wait to tell my friend, who was a staunch Catholic, about it. I told her how shocked I was because I didn't think nuns did anything like that. I felt kind of silly to be so naive. My friend told me not to feel silly over that. She said when she was in third grade, attending a Catholic school, she too was put into a state of shock. She accidentally walked into a restroom and saw a nun sitting on the john. She said, "I couldn't believe nuns went to the bathroom."

Making a Difference, One Pet at a Time By Darlene Papa Funny, how fate seems to take a hand in our most trying moments, working things out for the best. Such was the case in Julie's situation. Julie was at a low. Not only was she upset over a personal relationship, she was also missing her late Grammie, to whom she was very close. At work, outside to retrieve the office mail, she said to herself, "Why can't somebody just love only me?" when all of a sudden, from the bushes, out popped a young cat. This cat, a female seal point Siamese with beautiful blue eyes, was very thin; yet, it looked at Julie with such a sweet and soulful expression, as if to say, "I need you!" Julie, being a huge cat lover, talked gently to her. It playfully followed Julie to the mailboxes and back, and hungrily ate the only food
Julie had - her leftover lunch. There was no collar or name tag, and no apparent nearby home. Julie went home that evening thinking about the cat. "If she is here waiting for me tomorrow, it's a sign from above."Sure enough, the kitty was there each day. Julie named her Mimi and brought her cat food. She began thinking about how to rescue her safely without losing her trust, because even though Mimi followed Julie and rubbed against her, Mimi was still a little scared, having being out on the streets by herself. Yet, throughout this time, Mimi and Julie were bonding. Julie said, "Day and night, and driving back every Saturday and Sunday to feed and play with her, I would go home heartbroken and worried about her. After work, after spending an hour
with her, I would open the car door, wishing she'd just jump inside. She looked like she wanted to come home with me and I would tell her, 'Time to come home now, jump in, let's go!' She would give me a funny, bewildered look, but hesitated to jump in. I would drive away, could see her looking a little frantic like 'Where is my bee going?' My heart broke every single night without her." After several failed attempts to catch Mimi without traumatizing her, including renting a trap, Julie found Lifeline for Pets. Thanks to their advice, help, and Julie's patience and fortitude using treats and a dog carrier, the day came. Julie says: "As Mimi fetched a few treats in the carrier, we gently closed the door. Poor baby ran to the front with her little paws reaching out, not scratch-
The Power of Thanks
This is the perfect time of year to express your thanks to your staff. Letting your staff know that they’re appreciated and that their hard work made a difference is a great way to boost morale. Consider these simple yet effective ways to say thank you. Make it Personal: When saying thank you to a staff member personalize the message. Rather than a quick “thank you” as you pass the person in the hall, pull them aside to specifically acknowledge their efforts. Be Specific: Rather than a bland, general thank you, be specific about what the person said or did. Saying, “Barbara, thank you for always volunteering to take on
extra projects just like you did with last month’s marketing campaign” is much more specific than, “Thanks for your help.” Being specific conveys not only your appreciation but that you’ve taken notice of the employee’s efforts and the resulting outcomes. Be Timely: Express your appreciation timely. Do it before, during and at the conclusion of a project or assignment. Timeliness increases the impact of your thank you. Team Acknowledgement: In addition to thanking people individually be sure to do it with the whole team. Rarely is work completed by a single person, but instead by a whole group of people. So at your next team meeting be sure to say thank you to the group. Consider bringing in some treats or snacks to complement your apprecia-
tion.
Write it Down: Consider writing thank you notes to your staff. While it’s great to receive a verbal thank you, the impact is bolstered when it’s put in writing. Be Creative: For a team acknowledgement, hang up a poster or sign to express your appreciation. Make it colorful, fun and eye-catching. This attention grabbing way of saying thank you is sure to make a positive impact on your staff. Heather Backstrom is an executive coach, leadership development consultant and speaker.

Maybe Julie’s Grammie sent Mimi from above - we’ll never know. Julie feels much more fulfilled, and has become a volunteer for Lifeline for Pets. Julie’s little “Mimi Boo” is now the light of her life a heartwarming ending for
them, and a heartfelt Happy Holidays to all of our readers! As part of our continuing desire to focus on those in our community who care for unwanted animals, we are highlighting here the work that animal rescue organizations and individuals do in helping homeless pets find homes.

Pasadena Resident Directs New Film
Hamlet's Ghost is a timetravel film about a modern Shakespearean actor who must travel back in time to confront enigmatic forces from the past and future. Walker Haynes, the director and lead actor in the film is a resident of Chapman Woods, Pasadena. This feature film was shot locally around Pasadena as well as in parts of Georgia, including the Springer Opera House in Columbus. This Victorian era opera house is reportedly haunted
by the ghost of Edwin Booth, who actually performed Hamlet on stage just years after his brother's demise. Hamlet's Ghost was first screened at the Festival de Cannes Marche du Film, and has played and won awards at film festivals around the world. The film stars Haynes, along with Glen Mac, Creagen Dow and Ida Anderson. Wellknown actors John Loprieno, Barbara Niven, and Stephanie Zimbalist round out the top billed cast.
Hamlet's Ghost is approved for viewers ages 12 and up by the family-friendly Dove Foundation, and will open on December 11th and run for one week at the Playhouse 7 with five shows per day, including Q&A with the cast after the 7:30 p.m. shows on the 11th, 12th and 13th. Tickets are available online through the Laemmle website (http://www.laemmle.com/films/40125) and at the Playhouse 7 box office.
Parson’s Nose Theater (PNT), the acclaimed classical comedic theater company, continues its 16th Season with Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, opening Saturday, Dec. 19th. Adapted
by Artistic Director, Lance Davis, this 75-minute performance is presented as a part of the theater’s “Pay What You Will” Readers’ Theater Series. “I’ve tried to highlight
the marvelous descriptions Dickens gives us,” says Davis. “We usually miss it in productions. That stuff we skipped over in high school, but now have time to savor. His description of Scrooge’s house, so lonely, as if it had gotten lost while playing hide and seek with all the other houses; of the bustling of the grocer’s shops, and the crisp snow-covered evening; all told with his genius, a celebration of the English language. He makes you feel like roasting chestnuts, right here in Pasadena.” The PNT adaptation of A Christmas Carol will combine narration of Dickens’ original text, brought to life by Mary Chalon and Barry Gordon, and performed dialogue by favorite Parson’s Nose Company Members, featuring Artistic Director, Lance Davis, as the infamous Ebenezer Scrooge. After the readings, audience members are invited to enjoy a glass of cheer with the PNT Company. Performances at Lineage Performing Arts Center, 89 S. Fair Oaks, Pasadena. Parson’s Nose Theater Office, 1325 Monterey Rd., South Pasadena.

Nostalgic ‘A Christmas Memory’ Brings Holiday Musical to Sierra Madre Playhouse

For many of us, our personal version of A Christmas Memory is revisited every year. Nostalgia paints our holidays with many sweet colors, often embellished by the passing of decades. The warmth of family gatherings, shared secrets, favorite delicious foods…. So it is with Buddy, who returns to Monroeville, Alabama, to peek in on his memories of childhood holidays during the Depression. He is warmly welcomed by longtime housekeeper Anna Stabler played by Charlotte Crossley or Theresa Ford. In the charming A Christmas Memory now at the Sierra Madre Playhouse, glimpses of family, good food, and music are lavishly served up. And the theme of Christmas fruitcakes runs throughout the production. Buddy, now a successful writer, immediately succumbs to reminiscing about the “simpler” life of his younger days. How fondly he relives the time he spent with Sook, one of three older distant cousins who took care of him! Buddy and Sook seem a misfit pair…a boy of seven, and an eccentric, even childlike lady many times his age. But together they find delight in preparing for Christmas. “It’s fruitcake weather!” they declare as they hike to the woods to find the pecans they need. They spend hours cracking them. Then, conspiratorially they head to town for bootlegged whiskey—for how can you make fruitcake without whiskey? Surviving their scary visit to the overpowering Mr. HaHa (Christopher Showerman) in his saloon, they bake their fruitcakes to share as gifts to their friends…even such fara-
way “friends” as FDR, and, of course, Eleanor! A Christmas Memory is virtually a light opera, with its narrative told through more than a dozen lilting songs and lively choreography. Alison Eliel Kalmus is the director/choreographer. Directing music, including a fun-time ukulele ensemble, is Emily Cohn. A three-person combo (Brian Cannady, Katie Clarke and Sean Paxton) is truly “background” music, partially screened by a grassy hedge. David Goldstein, set designer, created a rustic at-

mosphere with ceiling-high trees framing the stage and a wooden ladder leading to a loft. Sliding partitions interchange scenes, transforming them from the yard with a rope swing…to a front porch…to Mr. HaHa’s saloon. Aprons and bib overalls are among the vintage costuming designed by Vicki Conrad. The two youngsters’ roles, which along with Sook carry the show, are doublecast. Patrick Geringer and Ian Branch play Buddy exuberantly and with immense talent. “Buddy” sings, dances, and is Sook’s close pal throughout the entire musical - a challenge wellmet. Neighboring friend/pest Nelle is portrayed alternately by Lucy Ferrante and Saman-
tha Salamoff. Diane Kelber as Sook literally bounces her way along as she happily enjoys the simpler pleasures in life with Buddy. Not so blissful are Jennie and Seabon, the other elderly cousins. Jean Kaufman’s Jennie is sternly determined to send Buddy to a military school, to “make a man” of him. Although Seabon (Kevin Michael Moran) isn’t in full accord, he goes along, being a more affable sort. Reminded of these tensions, our adult Buddy narrator (Jeff Scot Carey) realizes that all was not serene, even in the simpler days of his youth. A Christmas Memory is based on a book by - surprisingly enough - Truman Capote. Often his name is associated with In Cold Blood, but actually he wrote a number of less somber, more sentimental stories including Breakfast at Tiffany’s. A Christmas Memory is fast becoming a treasured, family-friendly holiday classic. The Sierra Madre Playhouse’s production is its premiere in the Los Angeles area. Artistic Director Christian Lebano chose it in keeping with the Playhouse’s commitment this year of presenting plays only by American authors. John Sparks, Estelle Campbell and Lebano are the producers. We’ve come to expect Playhouse lobby décor to further enhance each production. Time allowed to view Diane Siegel’s foyer exhibits is always well spent. This time plaques delineate parallels in the lives of authors Harper Lee and Truman Capote, friends who worked together. A huge impromptu map pinpoints locations nationwide that have some fruitcake specialty or tradition - including “tosses”! Yes, popular tossing contests now provide ways to get rid of unwanted gift fruitcakes! A Christmas Memory can be viewed through Dec. 27. For reservations or more information on performances on special dates, some even after Christmas, phone (626) 355-4318, or visit the website, www.sierramadreplayhouse.org for online ticketing. Reservations for groups of 10 or more can be made at the same phone number. Admission is $34.50 general, $32 for seniors (65+), $25 for youth to age 21. The Playhouse is at 87 W. Sierra Madre Blvd., Sierra Madre. Eateries and free parking are nearby.

‘A Christmas Carol’ at A Noise Within By May S. Ruiz It has become an all too common occurrence – hordes of buyers fighting over the last $99 Blu-ray player at a big box store the day after Thanksgiving, heralding the Christmas shopping season. But there was a time, before the Christmas spirit took on the guise of Black Friday doorbuster specials, when this season meant goodwill towards humankind. A Noise Within (ANW), a repertory theatre company in Pasadena, is bringing back the sentiments that this time of year should evoke. Beginning this Saturday, Dec. 5 through Dec. 23, 2015, San Gabriel Valley residents can come to enjoy its production of Charles Dickens’ timeless classic A Christmas Carol. Julia Rodriguez-Elliott, ANW’s co-artistic director along with her husband, Geoff Elliott, says this is the perfect antidote to the consumerism that has defined the Christmas season. She said, “A lot of people just want to break away from all the shopping during the holidays.” This is the fourth year that ANW is mounting A Christmas Carol on their stage and Mr. Elliott and Ms. Rodriguez-Elliott are sharing directorial credits. This collaboration is hugely beneficial not just for the performers but for the audience as well. As Geoff succinctly puts it, “Co-directing makes sense; two heads are better than one.” Being the more techminded director of the two, Ms. Rodriguez-Elliott concentrates on all the technical elements. She expanded on this: “A director has to mind the lighting, costume, props and at the same time pay equal attention to the actors. When we co-direct, Geoff can give notes to the performers while I give feedback to the designers.” “It isn’t that I don’t like the technical aspect of directing,” explained Mr. Elliott, “I have to say I enjoy it as well

– though maybe not as much as Julia does – but I want to focus in greater detail on the performers and the honesty of the moment.” Ms. Rodriguez-Elliott, for her part, said, “The more I do it, the more I appreciate the designers and what they bring – they can illuminate, elevate what you’re doing with the actors. A perfectly lit moment, or a visual scene done correctly, has an impact on the audience beyond what happens in the rehearsal room under fluorescent lights.” This iteration of A Christmas Carol is Mr. Elliott’s 2000 adaptation from the original ANW production. He related, “The original production was incredibly successful artistically but it was dark and bloody. When we decided to revisit it in 2000, we wanted to bring the light, the love between the Cratchits and other characters in the play. We needed a different take on it.” A Noise Within’s move to its present home in Pasadena was the excellent time and opportunity to mount this ambitious endeavor. Ms. Rodriguez-Elliott explained, “The Masonic Temple didn’t have enough seats, so it didn’t make
much sense, production-wise. With a finite number of days we can play it based on our schedule and the holiday, we wouldn’t have enough performances. In this venue, we can give this adaptation a full run.” It is a fortunate outcome for many of us who remember reading Charles Dickens’ memorable work of fiction growing up. That it is performed – with actual people on stage – gives this novella much greater extent and meaning. “A Christmas Carol is the ultimate story of redemption and transformation ever written,” Mr. Elliott proclaimed. “While we present the play every year, it is never stale because we always find something different to do. Even the performers who think they might want to take a break from it after having done it several times come back to it because they realize it is a living, breathing fabric.” Added Ms. Rodriguez-Elliott, “I am seeing it fresh because I am in a different place from where I was a year ago. And as a director there’s always that feeling of ‘Gosh I’m not happy with this.’ We have that opportunity to improve on it every year or make it
better. And this is exactly what A Christmas Carol is all about – a tale of how even the most miserly curmudgeon on earth can change for the better”. “As scary as some children might think of Marley, and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, they are there out of love,” Mr. Elliott expounded. “They are all benevolent ghosts who want to help Scrooge. This is the attraction of A Christmas Carol; it is why people come to see it. We all want a chance at redemption.” At the end of A Christmas Carol, Scrooge is overwhelmed with joy at the chance to redeem himself and is grateful for having returned to Christmas Day. He rushes out into the streets to share his newfound spirit. And from that day on, he celebrates the season by giving to the poor and treating others with generosity, kindness, and warmth. How impressively mesmerizing it must be to behold this final scene as it unfolds before us! Maybe for longer than a few lingering moments, we wouldn’t equate Christmas with doorbuster specials. When Geoff Elliott pronounces that “live theatre is here to stay – it is life changing,” this must be what he means.

And who can forget the Nutcracker himself this time played by Reece Taylor, who provides a charming, truly prince-like presence when he takes the stage, even when he wears the bulky nutcracker mask. In all, with a battalion of skilled dancers and elegant aesthetics, The Nutcracker graces us with a mesmerizing show that will, for many, surely become a new holiday tradition.

The present is a nutcracker in the shape of a soldier, which, once the clock strikes midnight, becomes a true to life dancing man who brings Clara to the Land of Snow and the Kingdom Sweets where she’s treated to a celebration flavored by the cultures of the world. Unfortunately, this production lacks a live orchestra playing Tchaikovsky melodies that we’ve all grown to love, but the ornate costumes courtesy of Jeanne Nolden and beautiful backdrops and visuals provided by Daniel C.

Yes, Wiltz: There Is a Santa Claus
THE PASADENA PLAYHOUSE PRESENTS
American GIs, a War-Weary Town, and the True Spirit of Christmas By Courtney Blackburn

Sandwiched between Belgium, France, and Germany, Luxembourg of 1944 was a war-weary land. But that December, something magical happened: a handful of American soldiers brought Christmas back to the small town of Wiltz during the darkest days of WWII. The true history of these heroes of a different sort, Peter Lion’s American St. Nick, has already inspired a PBS documentary. It deserves a film like Unbroken. The story begins with veteran Frank McClelland passing through continental Europe in 1977 on a tour of WWII remembrance. He belonged to the American 28th Infantry Division, which was headquartered in Wiltz, Luxembourg. While there, he finds a museum. In it, the excited curators point to a faded picture of a bearded man sitting in a jeep. He, they explain, is their American Saint Nick. In the cold winter of 1944, an American solider named Harry Stutz had an idea for a Christmas party to give the children and families of Wiltz something to celebrate again. After speaking with the local priest and teachers, Stutz learned that traditionally, Saint Nicholas Day was celebrated on Dec. 6, and that it had been banned under the Nazi’s oppressive rule for the past four years. Stutz was determined to give the children of Wiltz their Saint Nicholas. The irony? He was Jew-

ish. But that didn’t matter. Stutz volunteered his friend, Corporal Richard Brookins, to play the role of Saint Nick. On Dec. 5, 1944, Brookins wore a priest’s robes and a fake beard, a miter too tight for his head, and drove in the back of an American jeep, passing out candy, donuts, and goodies all donated by the 28th Division to the awestruck children of Wiltz. And the town of Wiltz never forgot. So more than 30 years later, Wiltz’s museum curators ask for Frank McClelland’s help to find their American Saint Nick - Richard Brookins. And the story of these men, their war, and the town that reclaimed Christmas in American St. Nick is one everyone should read. Peter Lion’s debut nonfiction reads like a novel, with dialogue that begs to be in a screenplay - it’s crafted with humor, clarity, and genuine heart. Though
a short read of around 160 pages, first-hand details are scattered throughout, adding a real sense of time and place. Once or twice these details slow down the pace, as in the case of Frank McClelland doing his laundry step-by-step while waiting for a very important telephone call - when we readers are desperate to hear that the call came! This book tells a story that people need more than ever. With growing global hostility abroad and dissent, distrust, and murder at home, St. Nick is needed to smile, let out a rich chuckle, and give with both hands to those in need. We need Santa Claus. He is, like Dicken’s Ghost of Christmas Present, the very spirit of generosity. He is warmth and kindness, unselfishness, hospitality. He is dignity and mystery. And he lived in a group of battle-hardened soldiers who laid down their arms and took up candy, giving with all their hearts. This incredible story of heroism and hope amidst the horror of war is an uplifting holiday must-read that will inspire you to share kindness, even in the darkest times. So discover the American Saint Nick. American St. Nick was released in October 2015 by Cedar Fort Publishing. It is available in paperback and ebook format on their website (http://books a n d t h i n g s . c o m / s to re / search.aspx?SearchTerms= american%20st%20nick).

Everyone is invited. Dinner begins at 6:30 p.m. followed by the program at 7:15 p.m. Catered dinner is $11; reservations for dinner must be made by Dec. 11th by calling (626) 836-4945. There is no charge for attending only the program. Location: Hart Park House, Memorial Park, 222 W. Sierra Madre Blvd., Sierra Madre. For information call the reservation number or visit www.smgarden.org.
The City of Sierra Madre will host its first ever El Niño preparation workshop on Saturday, Dec. 5th. Residents from Sierra Madre and its surrounding communities will gather at City Hall this week to learn more about the impacts of El Niño and gain the knowledge necessary to manage the wetter season. From emergency kits to insurance coverage, the Sierra Madre Public Works Department will be on hand to provide useful tips to help protect your family and property. Due to record ocean temperatures, many meteorologists are predicting that this year’s El Niño could be powerful enough to rival the 1997 season. With the increased potential for high winds, rain and flooding, the City’s public safety officials are actively preparing emergency plans to meet these challenges and encouraging residents to do the same. “Don’t wait until it starts raining,” said Public Works Director Bruce Inman. “The toughest time to find solutions
to rain-related problems is during a rainstorm.” The Sierra Madre Public Works Department will answer questions and provide attendees with a guide to free resources, such as sandbags and weather tracking tools. The Department will also address the City’s plan to safely capture storm water in an effort to leverage the increased rainfall amid the drought. Residents will learn the do’s and don’ts of safe rainwater capture on residential properties. The workshop, titled “Preparing for El Niño in Sierra Madre”, is free to the public and will be held in City Hall Council Chambers from 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 5, 2015. Experts from the Sierra Madre Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) will also be there to discuss the volunteer aspect of emergency preparation. For more information about this event, please contact James Carlson by phone at (626) 355-7135 or by email at jcarlson@ cityofsierramadre.com.

Former Rose Float Association President Shares Memories Continued from page 1
broke down during the parade. Fighting the elements was also interesting because of the rain and the Santa Ana winds, which destroyed the tent on more than one occasion. Fortunately, the tent company responded quickly with a new tent. Once we erected the new tent directly in front of the Youth building and another time we moved it to the parking lot next to the Old City Hall. I was co-chairman along with Carl Griffin in 1967 and chairman in 1968. From these experiences I knew that we had to have a building - not only to be shielded from the weather, but also to give us more time to build the float. The parade was becoming more complex each year and we could keep pace with the crew that we had if we only had more time to build the float. With our 20-man crew we had all the talent, and we also were assisted with about another 20 young people, both boys and girls. These young ones became the future float builders after the Rose Float Building became a reality. In 1969, I became the President of the Rose Float
Association, and I introduced several changes. First, I moved the monthly meetings from the homes into the St. Rita’s School Auditorium. We tried to make each meeting different and we tried different ideas such as showing Rose Parade films from prior years which we borrowed from the Tournament of Roses. We also entertained photos and talks from members. We also held a raffle at each meeting with prizes donated by Gordon Baker Lloyd. Some of the prizes were poultry dressing boxes and hula hoes. I could never win a hula hoes from the more than two dozen that were raffled. The money raised from the raffle was used to have better refreshments at the meetings. If you’ve never had a piece of Rowena Wingate’s pies, you haven’t lived. I knew that there was a direct relationship between space and attendance and the result from moving to the hall gave us an average of approximately 85 people in attendance at each meeting. We also did our regular monthly committee reports and I introduced the idea of selling life memberships with the money to go
in the building fund. In 1970-1971, Tony Harris became the President and we followed through in getting the Sierra Madre group incorporated as a 501-C-3 non-profit. This allowed all personal monetary donations to be tax deductible for the donor. This was followed by the presidency of Bob Conner, David Duran, John Govorchin, Wayne Hartwell and Jacque Faust. These are not necessarily in correct order and some may have served for more than one year terms. There could have been others, but memory fails. These, of course, were during the 1970s. All did a fine job and the Association remained strong with new members being added. I will make a list of the members that I can remember, which will probably not be complete.

Miss-Directed Effort! One of the founders of the group called “Preserve Sierra Madre” gave a talk at the Kiwanis Club. He explained how they came together over the issue of the Monastery property and how they offered a $10 million purchase price for the land, which the Monastery rejected. They say
that the object was to preserve open space. The truth is they do not want more homes to be built. Who owns the land and who should decide how (and is to be used?) The Monastery, of course, and it is ultimately their business and nobody else’s. What a waste of effort.
Woman, a Possible Hoarder, Was Found in Two-Story Home Continued from page 1
at a two-story home in the 6100 block of Golden West Avenue. The two-story house resident, a possible hoarder, complicated the firefighting effort according to officials.
Once inside, firefighters found a woman in her 60s who was pronounced dead at the scene. More than 45 firefighters responded to the blaze, which was knocked down about 9 p.m.

They then moved on to work at preventing any homes to be built on the two other subdivisions that have moved past the talking stages. They say they want things exactly as they are with open space and no changes! They then moved on to accomplish the three moratoriums that are in place and pressed for smaller homes and conditional use permits for all new two-story homes. It’s amazing how they can assert themselves into somebody else’s business. Does the property owner have equal rights as any other property owner? What miss-directed effort!
If they wanted to attack an issue that is all wrong, then look at the proposal of the Church building that is city-owned and the city is promoting to remodel into a three-unit condo building for low-cost housing. Does this 1921 building qualify for a historical rating? Of course not - when you completely change it inside and out. The remodel also converts the building into a two-story unit and a lower level storage for a third building level. In addition, the six parking areas do not have one covered space. How do these changes fit with the R-1 zoning? If the Preserve Sierra Madre group
wants to do something useful, then go to work on this project. The Preserve Sierra Madre group needs to work towards the end of reducing the regulations, fees and other costs that the property owners have to deal with. Find out why we have to pay franchise fees? They should focus on how to reduce the costs of operating the City without reducing services. Why do we have four-tiered water rates? Why does it take six to ten months to clear plan check? When will the City repair of the tunnels and water pumps and the leaky water
mains? There are many useful ways for the Preserve Sierra Madre group to spend their time and energy on other than preventing the property owners from building on their property. Do we want a town full of old homes with no new ones? I doubt it! If they should be for the private property owners instead of against them, then they would be far more popular and they in turn would feel better and have a sense of self satisfaction that they are doing something useful for all! -Sierra Madre Watchman

Barger Touts Bipartisan Support Deep Local Roots as Keys to Victory in Supervisor Race Contined from page 5
Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, former congressmen David Dreier and Chris Cox, Pete Wilson, a former U.S. senator and California governor, and Duarte Mayor Sam Kang, to name just a few. Her work with issues affecting children and families as well as health care and mental health in addition to her mother’s example has instilled in Barger a strong sense of compassion, she said. “She served as my role model as far as how you work with people,” Barger said of her mom Ann Fenwick Barger, who passed away in 2002. “I truly do have a passion for helping people,” Barger said, noting her approach to campaigning is more about connecting with area residents rather than soliciting votes. “I am humbled by people who walk up to me, especially those that work for the county who know me and stand behind me because they know that I’m running for the seat for

Oil Filter & Motor Oil Recycling Event
City of Arcadia Could Be Behind a Plan to Restart the Historic Windmill Continued from page 1
anywhere in life. Rarely at a loss for words, the charismatic businessman has gone to the top of Denny’s corporate ladder to send his supplication. George Fashing penned the following certified letter to the company’s CEO, John C. Miller on Nov 27: “Dear Mr. Miller: The enclosed photographs and accompanying two-page resume are selfexplanatory regarding the purpose of this letter. Our City is in complete support of the reactivation of the windmill. I anticipate that the day it starts turning will be proclaimed a Day of Preservation and Recognition, which would draw press and TV coverage from throughout Southern California. Over time, people would come from everywhere to see Denny's windmill, which would be not only a boost for all Denny's, but also for the downtown Arcadia business district. Mr. Miller, Denny's is sitting on a marketing gold mine. Arcadia Signs in Arcadia has offered a complementary assessment of the cost of the restoration. I am also available to work with your people at any time. I look forward to hearing from you perhaps with only a few words, "sounds good; let's
go" with your initials. Kindest regards, George Fasching.” We contacted Arcadia City Manager Dominic Lazzaretto about Mr. Fasching’s proposal and possible city implications and/or liability and it seems the city is prepared to address the issue: “Yes, I believe the City would support the idea of returning the windmill to its original status. It would be an interesting entry into the heart of the Downtown and we could arrange a celebration to commemorate the event. I doubt that the City would support the effort financially, but we could help promote things with a City proclamation and ribbon cutting type event. On the technical front, Denny’s would need to get a modification from our sign regulations (the Code now prohibits moving signs and, believe it or not, the windmill would be considered a sign). The modification should be pretty simple to approve given the unique and historic nature of the building. Regarding insurance, there wouldn’t be any special requirements imposed by the City. Every business is responsible for ensuring that their property does not
pose a threat to public health and safety. You’d have to talk to Denny’s about whether their insurance provider would increase their premiums if the windmill turned back on.” LA Conservancy says, “The rest of the sixteen-sided building is clad in brick and has large windows extending around the façade in typical ‘Googie’ coffee shop fashion. The Arcadia Van de Kamp’s is the last surviving windmill-topped restaurant in Southern California, and this is only because of loud public outcry when new owner Denny’s proposed demolition of the windmill in 1999. Enthusiastic protests quickly changed the company’s mind, and instead of ruining a historic building to match its brand’s 1950s “retro” style, it opted to retain the real thing. The result is a more than appropriate modern use of a wonderful example of Googie architecture, and the windmill lives on to see the future. Its arms were once operable, turning cheerfully on the corner of Huntington and Santa Anita, and who knows—maybe they will turn again someday.” If anyone can get these historic arms moving again, it’s George Fasching.

‘Moving Forward’ A Statement by Sheriff Jim McDonnell Reflecting On His First Year in Office As I reflect upon my first year as Sheriff, I continue to be humbled and honored by the commitment every member of this Department makes on a daily basis to serve the people of Los Angeles County. It is my privilege to share a tradition of service, integrity, and accountability with the 18,000 men and women at the nation’s largest Sheriff’s Department - a department whose accomplishments, diversity of function, and combined strength of sworn and professional staff sets us apart as a national leader in law enforcement. These are just some examples of how we are more effectively fighting crime through partnerships and collaborations with national leaders, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), the Board of Supervisors, the District Attorney’s Office, local and national law enforcement partners and Community Based Organizations. The creation of the LASD Human Trafficking Bureau and the Los Angeles Regional Task Force on Human Trafficking, with a combined complement of people from the LASD, FBI, DHS, Probation, Parole, Department of Children and Family Services and the Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking is another example. We have also developed a partnership with the United States Attorney’s Office in the Violence Reduction Network partnership with the city of Compton, where our Compton Station is part of a tencity network looking at the most effective crime fighting and community trust building initiatives. We have also made significant strides in moving beyond past challenges and turning a corner in ar-
eas where our Department has been under the watchful eye of outside observers. We entered into joint settlement agreements with the DOJ that have helped us bring committed resources as well as best practices to both Patrol and Custody in areas including training, constitutional policing models and more effective collaborations with the community. We now have formal approval by the Board of Supervisors to move forward with a long overdue Correctional Treatment Center that will replace the dilapidated Men’s Central Jail and a 20-year master plan for the jail system that will lead us well in to the 21st century to deal with the complex and growing population of individuals suffering from mental illness. The LASD has also proven to be a leader in forensics and data sharing. In 2015, our crime lab received two additional accreditations to become the largest full-service, fully accredited crime laboratory in the United States --now capable of providing an even higher level of technology and service to more than 200 law enforcement agencies. The LASD is also looking at the broader implica-
tions and outcomes in law enforcement, from crime fighting strategies to crime prevention, as we stress the importance of implementing trauma-informed policing and supporting our atrisk youth with after-school opportunities in our Youth Activity Leagues, our newly created youth lacrosse and tennis programs and literacy projects. More than ever, I am committed to the future of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. We have shown ourselves to be resilient and strong, forward–looking and true to our promise to move beyond past problems and build upon the tremendous progress already underway when I first took office. Together, we have made significant strides on many fronts and raised the bar high. But, we can never be complacent and should always continue to demand more from ourselves – individually and collectively. We are building on a rich history and tradition of service, but find ourselves at a crossroads in American policing, one where we have a tremendous opportunity to set the standard for constitutional policing in the 21st century.

Man Found Dead on Railroad Tracks Hit by MTA Commuter Train Early Monday morning the El Monte Police Department received a call for service regarding a pedestrian possibly being struck by an MTA commuter train in the area of Cogswell Road and Lansdale Avenue. When units arrived, a man, approximately between 40-50 years of age was found lying near the tracks. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by
the Los Angeles County Fire Department. According to witnesses, as the guard rails and warning lights were activated, the victim attempted to cross in front of the on-coming train. He was subsequently struck by the train. There is an on-going investigation as members of the El Monte Police Department work closely with the MTA, the Los Angeles County
Sheriff’s Department and the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office. There are no reported injuries on the commuter train. It is estimated the train had approximately 650 commuters on board. The MTA is making arrangements to transfer these commuters to other trains. As of 9:30 a.m., Cogswell Road remains closed in both directions to all traffic.

Sierra Madre City Clerk Nancy Sue Shollenberger to End 32-Year Career Since elected City Clerk in 1984, Nancy has acted as a buffer between the city government and its citizens. If a resident needs a public document, she gets it to them. When people encounter the government, sometimes they’re unsure of the steps to take to pursue their issue. Shollenberger said, “I do my best to make them feel comfortable.” Shollenberger, along with her husband and two children, moved to Sierra
Madre in 1968. In 1972, Nancy started her own business, The Sierra Madre Answering and Secretarial Service. When cell phones and computers came into being, Nancy closed down her business in 2000. In 1984, Gary Adams approached Nancy’s husband and asked him if he thought Nancy might consider being City Clerk. Nancy was very busy with her business and raising their two children, and never thought about
being City Clerk. Of course, Shollenberger was honored that a City Council Member would think about her, so she considered it and decided to run in 1984. Shollenberger was not challenged until 2008, when a resident ran against her. She won and ran two more times, unopposed. It has been a wonderful career. Though Shollenberger is leaving office, she will continue living in Sierra Madre, where people know her for
her helping hand to those seeking help from the city government. “I have been fortunate to have this opportunity,” Shollenberger said. “I’ve met so many absolutely fabulous people who are civic volunteers and commissioners I would have never met before. I love to be in a small town.” Nancy can be reached at City Hall (626) 355-7135, her home (626) 355-1569, or her cell phone (626) 4345073.
Pasadena Fire Offers Christmas Tree Guidelines
Christmas trees are among the most flammable items in homes and businesses at this time of year. A dry tree may literally explode and be consumed by fire in a matter of seconds. When the trees are placed in any area where the public may gather, the California Code of Regulations requires that they be treated with a flame-retardant solution or process approved by the State Fire Marshal. The Pasadena Fire Department requires that the following regulations be observed regarding the use of Christmas trees in areas of public assemblage, including schools, institutions, retail stores, public areas in hotels, apartment houses, and office buildings: -Flame retardant, applied by an operator licensed by the California State Fire Marshal's Office, is required for all holiday trees in public buildings. -Per the fire code, trees and other decorations cannot block or obstruct any exit way or pedestrian path of
travel. -The tree shall bear a tag approved by the California State Fire Marshal's Office indicating the date, type of retardant, name of the concern that applied the retardant and the license number.
- Photo by Terry Miller
-Candles are prohibited on trees and wreaths. -Wreaths must be properly treated with a flame retardant approved by the State Fire Marshal's Office and so tagged. -The support device that
holds the tree is an upright position must be of a type that is stable and of adequate size to avoid tipping over of the tree and capable of containing enough water to cover at least two inches of the tree stem. -The bottom of the trunk must be immersed in at least two inches of water at all times. Immediately prior to immersion, the trunk must be cut off at least one inch above the original cut. -No readily combustible materials may be placed on, under or within four feet of the maximum horizontal projection of any tree, including live specimens. -No tree or decoration may be displayed in a way that impedes or affects any exit. -No tree may be displayed for more than 30 days. -Only use electrical lights that are UL listed for use on indoor trees. The Fire Department recommends that low-heat mini-lights be used for all trees. For more information call (626) 744-4655.
City to Host El Niño Preparation Workshop The City of Sierra Madre will host its first ever El Niño preparation workshop on Saturday, Dec. 5th. Residents from Sierra Madre and its surrounding communities will gather at City Hall this week to learn more about the impacts of El Niño and gain the knowledge necessary to manage the wetter season. From emergency kits to insurance coverage, the Sierra Madre Public Works Department will be on hand to provide useful tips to help protect your family and property.
Due to record ocean temperatures, many meteorologists are predicting that this year’s El Niño could be powerful enough to rival the 1997 season. With the increased potential for high winds, rain and flooding, the City’s public safety officials are actively preparing emergency plans to meet these challenges and encouraging residents to do the same. “Don’t wait until it starts raining,” said Public Works Director Bruce Inman. “The toughest time to find solutions to rain-related prob-
lems is during a rainstorm.” The Sierra Madre Public Works Department will answer questions and provide attendees with a guide to free resources, such as sandbags and weather tracking tools. The Department will also address the City’s plan to safely capture storm water in an effort to leverage the increased rainfall amid the drought. Residents will learn the do’s and don’ts of safe rainwater capture on residential properties. The workshop, titled
“Preparing for El Niño in Sierra Madre”, is free to the public and will be held in City Hall Council Chambers from 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 5, 2015. Experts from the Sierra Madre Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) will also be there to discuss the volunteer aspect of emergency preparation. For more information about this event, please contact James Carlson by phone at (626) 355-7135 or by email at jcarlson@cityofsierramadre.com.

D. The Massage Therapy Act continues to permit the City to adopt and enforce certain business licensing and reasonable health and safety requirements for massage establishments and massage service providers provided such regulations are consistent with the Massage Therapy Act. E. The City desires to amend Chapter 5.24 of the Municipal Code to ensure that massage services and establishments continue to be appropriately regulated by the City consistent with the Massage Therapy Act.

The appeal must be accompanied by the applicable appeal fee. 2. The City Clerk will then fix a time and place for the hearing of such appeal before the City Manager, and must give notice to the appellant of the time and place of the hearing by certified mail or personal delivery to the appellant at the address provided in the appeal. 3. At the hearing, the City Manager will have authority to determine all questions raised on such appeal, provided that no such determination may conflict with any substantive provision of this code or other applicable law. The decision of the City Manager will be final, and will be effective upon the date that written notice of the decision is sent by certified mail or personally delivered to the appellant. B. License Revocation or Suspension. 1. A licensee may appeal the City Manager’s revocation or suspension order by filing a written notice of appeal with the City Clerk setting forth the grounds for disagreement with the decision within ten days of the date of the revocation or suspension order. The appeal must be accompanied by the applicable appeal fee established by City Council resolution. 2. If an appeal of a revocation or suspension order is timely filed, the matter will be scheduled for a hearing within a reasonable time before a city-appointed administrative hearing officer.

The licensee, and any other persons requesting notice must be given at least ten days' written notice of the time and place of such hearing. 3. At the hearing, the hearing officer will determine whether a sufficient basis exists for the revocation or suspension of the license based upon the complaint, applicable staff reports, the revocation or suspension order, and such other evidence as may be presented that is relevant to the proceedings. The licensee will be given a reasonable opportunity to be heard in conjunction with the revocation or suspension proceedings. The burden of proof will be upon the City to show that the facts and evidence is sufficient to constitute a basis for revocation or suspension of the license. The proceedings before the hearing officer will be an informal administrative hearing and the rules of evidence, as generally applied in judicial proceedings, will not be applicable. However, City officials or representatives and the licensee will have the right of subpoena. 4. The hearing officer must issue a written decision on the appeal within ten days of the conclusion of the hearing unless the City and the licensee agree to a different deadline. Notice of such decision must be provided to the licensee by certified mail or personal delivery. 5. The decision of the hearing officer will be effective upon the date of mailing or personal delivery of the decision, and will be final.” SECTION 3. Applicability of Sections.

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.

In the event that tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

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 (818)248-0233 or visit this Internet Web site: www.foothillconveyance.com, using the file number assigned to this case (see trustee sale number beginning with “FCC”). 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.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. 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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www. altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 201501082-CA. 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.

Study Finds Transitional Kindergarten Students Have Edge in Math and Literacy
Judson International School
K-12 Christian school
California students who had attended Transitional Kindergarten were more advanced than their peers in language, literacy, mathematics and executive function, early results of a study by the American Institutes for Research (AIR) show. The differences amount to as much as a five-month head start in kindergarten. “Students who attended Transitional Kindergarten are better prepared for kindergarten than those who didn’t the year before kindergarten,” report co-author and AIR senior researcher Karen Manship said. “The results are even more notable when you consider that 80 percent of comparison students attended a centerbased preschool the year before starting kindergarten.” Transitional Kindergarten grew out of California’s Kindergarten Readiness Act, passed in 2010. Historically, the state required children to be 5 by Dec. 2 to enroll for kindergarten. When the new law moved the cut-off to Sept. 1, Transitional Kindergarten was created to serve those who turned 5 between Sept. 2 and Dec. 2. Key findings from Impact of California’s Transitional Kindergarten Program, which included more than 2,700 students in 20 districts, include: Transitional Kindergarten has a significant impact
on students’ preliteracy and literacy skills. After controlling for age, Transitional Kindergarten students are better at identifying letters and words at the beginning of kindergarten than those who did not attend the program. The advantage is equal to about five months of learning. Transitional Kindergarten students also display a greater understanding of the sounds of letters and syllables that make up words, giving them about a three-month learning ad-

vantage. Students who attended Transitional Kindergarten outperformed their peers in mathematics at the beginning of kindergarten. The program improved students’ knowledge of basic mathematical concepts and symbols. Attending Transitional Kindergarten also improved children’s mathematics problem-solving skills at the start of kindergarten, such as counting objects, understanding measurement and completing word problems, which amounts to a threemonth learning advantage. Students who attended Transitional Kindergarten also have an edge in executive function, but no detectable advantage in teacherrated social-emotional skills. Students from Transitional Kindergarten have greater executive function (remembering rules, inhibiting impulses and thinking flexibly). They did not get higher ratings than their peers in social skills and behavior. AIR researchers in San Mateo, California have been studying the state’s Transitional Kindergarten program since 2011, with support from the Heising-Simons Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation and First 5 California. Future reports will examine whether effects persist throughout kindergarten, impacts for different groups of students (such as English learners) and characteristics of Transitional Kindergarten that affect kindergartners’ skills the most.
