Ugly Side of Politics - A Letter Naming City Councilman Sho Tay Claims Arcadia Property Value Will Fall 30 Percent BY TERRY MILLER

Guns and Hoses: Local Firefighters Speak Out on First Responders & UUT
While we at Arcadia Weekly make no endorsements during elections, we felt it appropriate for the men and women of the Arcadia Fire Department to have a voice on the much misunderstood Utility User’s Tax (UUT) Measure and
why so many local guys remained local to serve their community. Arcadia’s reputation for a stellar fire department is a matter of public record. The men and women who SEE PAGE 16

Councilman Sho Tay is once again making news in Arcadia, this time not for offering to mail your ballots and giving you a stamp to boot … but by real scare tactics and possibly civil wrongdoing in a flyer. Tay (or people he knows) is circulated the following flier last week. He says, “Please attend a presentation by city council at Santa Anita Inn, Friday.” This is not a city council event and we have asked for comment from the mayor and various council members on this latest election tactic. We hope to post their comments later: “Dear Neighbor, Your house value may drop 30 percent. According to the ‘new zoning recommendations’ that some of our city council members are trying to pass on March 15, all houses including new and additions in Arcadia, will have to be 25 percent to 48 percent smaller in size than what is currently allowed. Most realtors estimate that the property value SEE PAGE 17

Off-Duty LAPD Officer Shoots 2 Attempting to Burglarize His San Gabriel Home By Staff Report Two suspected burglars were injured while allegedly attempting to burglarize a veteran Los Angeles Police Department officer’s San Gabriel home on Tuesday morning. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau detectives responded to the 600 block of Los Olivos Drive, San Gabriel, to assist San Gabriel Police Department personnel in investigating the circumstances surrounding four male burglary suspects. All four suspects were taken into custody, two of which were struck by gunfire. LASD Homicide detectives have learned that San Gabriel Police Department (SGPD) personnel responded to the residence regarding a “man shot” at the location. Prior to SGPD’s arrival, the call was updated to state that the person who was shot was a burglary suspect. When SGPD officers arrived, they saw one male suspect lying on the drive-
way of the residence suffering from gunshot wounds. SGPD officers also learned that the victim and resident of the house was an off-duty Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) lieutenant. Preliminary investigation revealed that the victim was home alone, sleeping, when he heard noises coming from inside of his house. Fearing for his life, the homeowner armed himself. During the burglary, the homeowner confronted two, unknown, burglary suspects inside his home. The suspects then fled through a kitchen window, which was also the initial point of entry. As the homeowner stood near the window, he saw one of the suspects reach for his waistband and turn towards him. Fearing the suspect had armed himself and was going to seriously hurt or kill the homeowner, an officerinvolved shooting subsequently occurred. Both suspects were struck by gunfire and fled the immediate scene. One of
the suspects was detained by SGPD in the driveway of the residence, suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper torso. The second suspect was also struck by gunfire in his upper torso and was driven to a local hospital by a third suspect. The driver then dropped off the wounded suspect and a fourth suspect at the hospital, and fled the scene. During the course of the investigation, two suspects were detained at the local hospital and the driver of the car was detained at a separate location. All four suspects have subsequently been arrested. The identities and ages of the suspects are not confirmed at this time. The off-duty LAPD lieutenant was not injured. No suspect weapon was been recovered at this time. The investigation is ongoing and there is no additional information available at this time.

Matt Denny’s Raises Over $30,000 for Childhood Cancer Research
St. Baldrick’s Day was celebrated in its usual manner at Matt Denny’s in Arcadia -- by shaving 110 heads on March 15. On Tuesday men women and children participated in what has become one of the largest fundraisers for cancer research. According to the St. Baldrick’s Day foundation, the Matt Denny’s location alone raised more than $63,000 last year. Always one of the biggest events locally, the fire and police departments of the city are some of the biggest participants. Local Superior Court Judge Bruce Marrs as well as Beacon Media’s Jose Luis Correa participated and raised large sums for the foundation. Rose Hewit’s Del Sol Salon, which is right next door to Matt Denny’s, had 10 stylists on hand Tuesday who volunteered their time and talents for this fundraiser. 600 location nationwide hold events to raise awareness and money. A spokesman at the Foundation said that the event at Matt Denny’s was one of the largest fundraisers nationwide. It all started in 1999 among a group of friends in

Duarte Sets Neighborhood Watch Meeting to Update Residents on Burglaries and Crime Prevention The City of Duarte, like every city in California is experiencing a spike in Part 1 Crimes; particularly in the area of property crimes. This trend is the exact opposite of the rest of the country that continues to enjoy historically low Part 1 Crimes rates. What is behind this startling trend? The Duarte Public Safety Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department have set a community wide Neighborhood Watch meeting to keep the public up-to-date on what the departments are doing to collectively suppress, intervene, and prevent property crimes in our city. The meeting will be held Tuesday, March 29, at 6:30 p.m. at the Royal Oaks School Cafeteria, 2499 Royal Oaks Drive. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend. Duarte Sheriff’s Sergeant Tony Haynes, Director of Public Safety Brian Villalobos, and City Manager Darrell
George will discuss in depth recent property crime activities as well state and nation Part 1 Crime trends. They will also provide an overview of the suppression, intervention, and prevention programs that the city and law enforcement are utilizing to help keep Duarte neighborhoods safe. “Our number one priority is ensuring the safety of our residents, said George. The City of Duarte saw an 8.53 percent spike in Part 1 Crimes during 2015. Although it is still too early to pin this solely on the voter approved Proposition 47, public safety professionals are drawing a correlation between allowing non-violent offenders and drug users out of jail without a mandatory, funded treatment and supervision plan. In order to continue to be proactive in the city’s approach to this crime trend, the Public Safety Department is studying the introduction of another patrol
unit to the Sheriff’s Department contract and has also initiated talks with the City of Bradbury to possibly share the cost of this additional patrol car. “The importance of the community’s role in helping to keep Duarte a safe place to live and work is vital,” said Villalobos. “We need the community’s help. Every Duarte neighborhood should be involved in Neighborhood Watch. It’s a program that works. We also want the public to know that if they have information about a crime, but may be concerned about ‘getting involved’, Duarte Public Safety has an Anonymous Tip hotline where they can leave a detailed message.” The hotline number is (626) 359-5671, extension 462. For information about starting a Neighborhood Watch program, call Aida Torres, Duarte crime prevention specialist at (626) 359-5671, extension 316.

10 Questions to Ask Before You Hire a Real Estate Agent
Make St. Patrick’s Day 2016 the Greenest Ever
You do not have to be Irish to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, the “greenest” day of the year. This year, Waste Management of Southern California has a few tips that will help make your St. Paddy’s Day greener than ever. “There is no shortage of ways to cut down on wastefulness,” said Eloisa Orozco, spokesperson for Waste Management of Southern California. “With St. Patrick’s Day fast approaching, now is the best time to start making green choices for an environmentally friendly celebration. If each of us took a few small steps to reduce the waste we produce or increase the amount of materials we recycle, we would make a significant impact on the amount of material, energy and landfill space saved.” The good news is that with a bit of creativity and a little know-how, you can enjoy a fun, festive affair without it taking a significant toll on the environment. The following are easy ways for you to be green, both in celebration and in practice: - Wear your green pride and avoid pinching your wallet. Celebrate your festive spirit by opting to make your St. Patrick’s Day outfit from reusable or recycled materials. You can also save money and take part in the reuse cycle by finding the perfect green style at a local used clothing store. - Do not be a litterbug at the St. Paddy’s Day parade. Many cities across the nation host St. Patrick’s Day parades and spend hours cleaning up after the event. This year, make it a point to clean up after yourself and if you see any recyclable items left behind please put them in the proper receptacle. - Skip the paper invitations. Save a tree or two by sending an electronic invitation, creating an event on social media or even simply pick-up the phone and invite your friends and family. - Wish friends and
family luck by giving them a potted shamrock. These plants flourish indoors and will help keep the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day alive all year long. - Bike, walk, or carpool to the party. Walking, biking, taking a bus, or picking up friends along the way to your celebration are great ways to reduce energy and save green in your wallet too. - Decorate your St. Patrick’s Day party with reusable decorations. Because this event occurs every year, consider purchasing reusable decorations, rather than those that are designed to be thrown away after one use. - Buy recycled materials and make personalized cups. If you insist on using disposable glassware, buy the kind made from recycled or sustainable materials. Also, you can help avoid mistaken and lost cup issues and cut down on waste by having a few Sharpie pens available for people to personalize their cups. - Try a new twist to your traditional corned beef and cabbage meal. Purchase locally grown and packaged beef, cabbage, and potatoes when possible and compost all leftover cabbage and potato peels.

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 threatening fish and aquatic life. Prevent pollution; recycle used motor oil and filters!

Four Responses to ‘Ugly Side of Politics’ (Arcadiaweekly.com, 3/10/16)
This is common sense. If you have any education or have a college degree. This is basic economic 101 and simple math. The property values have gone down in the past eight months. Just go check it yourself. Please give a harmony back to City of Arcadia. - Sidney Thank you so much for this, Terry. We hope you will be at one of Sho Tay’s meetings with your own translator, so we can all know what is going on. As I have said many times, a Councilperson is to serve everyone in the community, not just one group! - Lael Blocker
We have two councilmen (Tay and Chandler)
who want to scare our residents into thinking that the re-zoning will make us lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in our property values! The KPCC (89.3, local) radio station website (link below) published a story about this issue and it said, “City Councilmember Sho Tay said some people opposed to bigger homes might feel differently if they understood their purpose for these residents. Tay said many Asian families want bigger homes because they live with extended family, like parents and in-laws, under one roof. It is a lack of understanding, Tay said. I try to explain to people – you do not want to kick them out your house and send them to an old folks’ home.” http://www.scpr.org/ news/2016/03/09/58367/ arcadia-residents-battleover-mansionization/. I took care of both of my parents before they passed away. I took care of them in
our home, where they lived from 1967, until their passing in 2011 and 2013. We did not put them in an “old folks home” and we did not need a bigger house to care for them. The notion of having a “bigger home” because some want to live with their extended families does not mean building a home that rivals a motel. The population of Arcadia is 60 percent Asian, which means that 40 percent are from other cultures/ethnicities. The United States and the City of Arcadia, was built on a melting pot of foreigners (and cultures) who came together to better our community and each other. Families come here to raise their children, afford them the opportunity to attend great schools and live cohesively. Mr. Tay makes it clear, that Arcadia needs to “change” to accommodate a specific group of residents in the city. We can all live here and work together to build relationships the way
America and Arcadia was meant to be, not turn it into another country. Mr. Tay says he doesn’t have anything to do with the flyers; “I don’t know why you say I am sending around Arcadia.” However, the flyers depict his name and title in the event. Councilmember Tay said “instead of having the city spending the money to print Chinese version, I volunteer to do the ‘Translation’ for them.” My question would be, is he offering a translator for English-only speakers at his “private event?” The flyer says, “most realtors estimate that the property value will drop up to 30 percent.” Really? Who are most of these realtors? I have spoken to trusted realtors in Arcadia, who have assured me, property values will not “drop” if the Zoning Review Committee Recommendations are approved. All the cities surrounding Arcadia have zoning codes in place and their property values have not depreciated. Why would ours? Although Mr. Tay claims he has nothing to do with the “flyers” being circulated, the flyers are clear that the event is being presented by Mr. Tay. “Please attend a presentation given by City Council, Sho Tay, (private event) at Santa Anita Inn. 130 W. Huntington Drive, Arcadia, March 11 at 7:30 p.m. or March 12 10 a.m.” [sic]. - Burton Brink Well, Arcadia home prices have jumped up crazy because of real estate developer who over paid old homes and turned them into “McMansions.” Their sales prices were strictly

Reader Asks, ‘Why Bring Bob Back?’ Dear Editor: When you see the yard signs for the candidates in the upcoming Arcadia City Council election, one stands out saying “bring back Bob, a voice of reason.” This pertains to Bob Harbicht, who served previously for 20 years and now wants you to bring him back to a city once renowned as a “Community of Homes” to its present status as a “Community of Controversy.” In my opinion, his tenure on the council is one of the reasons for the mansionization, the under-developed business districts, the highest employee wages and benefits in the area, and the unreasonable taxes and bonds on our community.

Reader Says Write in Barry Gold
Dear Editor, The City of Sierra Madre is spending taxpayer dollars on glossy mailings about Measure UUT omitting some inconvenient facts: (1) This would be a permanent 66% tax increase with no sunset clause. (2) The former Sierra Madre Chief of Police has stated this tax increase would not be enough to fully fund the Sierra Madre Police Department. (3) The city has run up $9.7 million in unfunded CalPERS pension liabilities for city employees - $6,754 in liabilities for every Sierra Madre household. (4) La Cañada has twice Sierra Madre’s population, but its 47 city employees cost each resident $160/year. Sierra Madre’s 212 city employees cost each of us $668/year. This tax increase isn’t about “saving the police” or “saving the library”. The sheriffs are already patrolling Sierra Madre, and doing a great job. Don’t throw more of our tax dollars down the CalPERS rabbit hole – vote NO on Measure UUT. And write in Barry Gold for City Council. Barry doesn’t ignore inconvenient facts. Barry is committed to more efficient spending. Sincerely, -Michele Davenport SIERRA MADRE

based on square footage of the lot and living. Simple math, if the future square footage of new homes will be reduced by 30 percent, you will see investors willing to pay for relatively a percentage (lower than 30 percent) less in their purchase price because of the reduced square feet on their intent construction. Yes, in short term, it will affect Arcadia home price. In long term, no one knows. I think those residents already living in one of those “McMansiona” may vote “yes” to the revised zoning regulation because their “McMansion” homes (historical) will be a limited source to pursue for Chinese to buy. So “McMansion” values will go up for sure! Old home prices will go down. - Andrew Lin

Border Cantos, a mustsee artistic collaboration between renowned photographer Richard Misrach and avant-garde composer Guillermo Galindo is now on exhibit at the San Jose Museum Art through July 31, 2016. (http://sjmusart.org/ exhibition/border-cantosrichard-misrach-guillermogalindo). The exhibit opens a window into the perilous journey of undocumented immigrants crossing the US-Mexico border and is a starting point for a more in depth dialogue about the topic. Misrach’s large format landscape photographs of the imposing border fence, steel barricades, water stations, and border patrol shooting ranges are paired with Galindo’s musical assemblage sculptures. The sculptures are created from items cast off or lost (e.g. worn shoes, empty water bottles, torn jackets, children’s backpacks, and inner tubes used to cross the Rio Grande) by those attempting to cross into the U.S. and waste from those protecting the border including tires used to drag the fence line, shotgun shells ejected during target practice, and

Tale of ‘Charlotte’s Web’ Being Spun at Sierra Madre Playhouse By Fran Syverson Bring your grandchildren, of course. But you will delight as much as they will in seeing “Charlotte’s Web,” albeit perhaps from a different perspective. After all, you probably read this timeless tale often to both them and their parents - your own kids. You remember how it goes. Wilbur, the runt pig of the new litter, is saved by 8-year-old Fern. On the farm, he is spurned by the animals. Finally he becomes best friends with Charlotte (what an unlikely pair!), who later saves him by spinning words - some pig, terrific, humble into her web. Townsfolks are entranced with the “miracle” that keeps Wilbur from being sent off to the butcher. All it takes is a bit of imagination for the humans onstage to become almost believable as the animals they represent - Wilbur, the runt pig, or Charlotte, the crafty spider. For Wilbur, a snout and ears do the trick, for the geese, fluttery feathery wings. Templeton is all gray with a very long tail befitting a rat. To convey the animals’ personas, Tanya Apuya designed these minimalistic costumes. And
they have to function through fast-changes galore, as most actors play multiple roles. The fast-moving action and humor will capture the audience, both the young and those not-so-much. Children in the audience surely would love to romp on the stage with its faux-farm setting. It is rustic and woodsy. Brightly painted boards, slightly atilt and reaching to the roof, define the walls. Steps lead to the platform where Charlotte hangs out by her gigantic web. The scene easily transforms into the county fair where Wilbur hopes to win a blue ribbon. It is all designed by Keiko Moreno. More than 3,300 young students will see “Charlotte’s Web” on weekday field trips from 39 schools of nine school districts. A pre-show workshop and a post-show discussion will enhance both their enjoyment and their educational experience. The lobby display arranged by Diane Siegel includes drawings, tiles with web designs, and little essays by students attending this neatly packaged theatrical program. A Fiber Arts Party, a Farm-Fresh Egg Hunt,
Wilbur’s Denim and Daisies Tea and Parade, and Fern’s Farm Animals are special Sunday attractions at the Playhouse. For dates and further information, go to SierraMadrePlayhouse.org. Children are invited to bring their favorite stuffed animals to all shows. All roles are double-cast, and many of the actors play multiple roles. The opening matinee found Tara Bopp as Charlotte and Sonny James Calvano as Wilbur in excellent performances of the leads. Multiple spots were well-handled by Megan Captaine, Ryland Dodge, Jackson Kendall, and Hayley Perkins. At other times, Andrew Carter will play Wilbur and Claudia Zielke will become Charlotte. Jennifer Kersey, Megan McIver, Peter Pasco, and Matt Severyn will play the multiples. Director Gary Lamb has graced this modern fairy tale with poignant touches about friendship, loyalty, and the cycle of life. Even in the darker moments where Wilbur and, later, Charlotte face up to the reality of death, the story shows how love, hope, and friendship can survive. Written by E.B. White, “Charlotte’s Web” is the best-
selling children’s book of all time. Its charm lies not only in its fanciful world where animal and people can talk with each other, but also in the noble qualities it portrays. Joseph Robinette did the stage adaptation for the play. Estelle Campbell, Christian Lebano, and Joanne McGee produced the show. Kelsey O’Keeffe is production stage manager. Kristin Bolinski is stage manager, assisted by Emily Hopfauf and Vicky Aguilar. Properties designer and manager is Joanne McGee. Contributing greatly to the special effects are Meghan Gray as lighting designer, and Christopher Moscatiello as sound designer. The family-friendly performances run Saturdays and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. through April 17. Check the Playhouse website for special Sunday events mentioned above. For reservations or more information, phone (626) 355-4318, or visit the website for online ticketing. Admission is $22 general, $20 for seniors (65 and up), $15 for youths to age 21. The Sierre Madre Playhouse is at 87 W. Sierra Madre Blvd. Free parking is available nearby.

An Environmental Education Fair at to the Arboretum By Jonathan Tsou Last Saturday, the Arboretum hosted the 37th Annual Los Angeles Environmental Education Fair. The point of the annual event is to get students from around Los Angeles County thinking about their environment and the many things that they do to care for it. The annual tradition was founded in 1991 by Dr. Jane Goodall. The event with more than 60 exhibits, hosted by Arcadia Unified School District, Los Angeles Unified School District, and numerous non-profit environmental organizations, addressed issues such as drought-tolerant lawn alternatives, caring for trees during drought season, and understanding the importance of biodiversity. Gary Wilkerson, one of the senior members of the Arboretum's standing committee, indicated that the two primary goals of the event are to "celebrate the works of many agencies in
promoting environmental education" and "to underline the awareness of a sustainable environment and stewardship." He also said that he hopes that the more people bump into these ideas, the more people will remember to take renewable bags to the market and to plant-drought resistance plants when they go home. Arcadia High School was well represented at the event, with hundreds of students attending the event and hosting booths. Students created many interactive games by incorporating what they learned in class, giving an educational and hands-on opportunity to those who attended the event. Jorge Munoz, one of the Environmental Science teachers who helped with the event, feels that the event helped his students put a face to the things they learn in class while them out of the classroom and seeing the environment. Some major groups that attended included the County of Los Angeles Fire

Department Forestry Division, the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control District, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Orangutan Conservancy. Throughout the day, a few organizations gave workshops and presentations. TreePeople, a nonprofit environmental advocacy group that promotes sustainable urban ecosystems, gave a presentation about the importance of "Caring for Trees in the Drought." Reptacular Animals, which is Southern California's largest private zoo, presented a hands-on introduction of many exotic reptiles. The Arboretum also hosted a drought-tolerant landscaping at its own Crescent Farm. They gave considerations regarding the use of plants, microclimates, soils, mulches, and watering techniques.

Centre Stage Inc. By Gus Herrera Centre Stage Inc. is a non-profit community theatre company based in Monrovia. Founded in 2000 with the belief that “everyone deserves a chance to discover the joys of music and theatre,” the company creates opportunities for local youth and adults to participate in high-quality theatre productions led by a passionate, experienced group of professionals and volunteers. In the face of financial hardship, school’s arts programs are, unfortunately, the first things to go. Add in the fact that private classes and programs are seldom affordable, and what you are left with is a recreational landscape for local youth that is devoid of artistic outlets. Since its inception, Centre Stage has worked to fill this void by providing affordable after-school programs, seasonal productions, private classes, and a summer camp. For their main-stage musical productions there is a minimum tuition fee, but no one will ever be turned down for financial reasons, “part of our mission is to keep it very af-

fordable and provide scholarships if they can't afford it. For most families they don't even need scholarships because we try to make it affordable by having fundraisers throughout the year to keep the overhead costs low,” explains Keely Milliken, Centre Stage’s founder. A true professional, with 17 years of experience in the music and theatre industries, Milliken’s passion is fueled, in part, by her local roots, “One reason I wanted to start Centre Stage
is because I grew up in Monrovia and there weren't a lot of Broadway opportunities. Basically you only had church to sing in, there were not a lot of theatre-related opportunities. I wanted to start the company here in Monrovia so kids like me could discover outlets for music and theatre,” she describes. A graduate of Azusa Pacific University and a former member of the internationally renowned Citrus Singers, Milliken worked as
a teacher for several local schools, including Monrovia High School, before starting the non-profit. Fast-forward 16 years later and Centre Stage’s impact is not limited to Monrovia, “recently we started branching out to other areas. We started a program at Fairgrove Academy in La Puente. It’s a lower income school and they couldn't afford a theatre program, so we came in and, for a nominal fee, put on a show. We got to choose 40 kids from the school, they came in and auditioned. They got the Broadway experience at their school,
which normally does not have a program like that. We are trying to find more ways to branch out like this and reach more kids who may not get the opportunity to be in music and theatre,” describes Milliken. A little closer to home, Centre Stage has used this same formula to achieve a more tangible form of success. By incorporating a similar program at Arcadia Christian they inspired the school to take matters into their own hands, “it got to the point where they got their own program going, so now they're doing it them-

Yes, unglamorous beans, famous for their gas-causing effects, are actually one of the world’s healthiest foods. Nobody likes to brag about their bean consumption. People do not proudly proclaim that their dinner was a nice bean soup. However, they should! It is time to bring bean bragging into our daily lives. Lentils, soybeans, and yes, even peanuts are a great source of protein and a variety of other vitamins. Just as important, they are delicious! There is a reason why beans are a staple of Mexican and Indian cuisine. Their nutty, rich taste is a great complement to a variety of spices and sauces. Additionally, they are a delight to your wallet - a pound of beans and legumes typically produces about eight servings and costs a little less than a dollar. In an effort to shine light on these nutritious little heroes, let us delve into the details of some lentils. Unlike other dried beans like pinto beans, lentils are small and cook rather quickly. They are also a complete protein! Other beans need grain to complete the protein but not the powerful lentil. In addition
Like their fellow legumes, peanuts offer a healthy amount of protein but are also rich in monounsaturated fats, which are very good for your heart.

to providing protein, lentils are a great source of fiber. They are the secret weapons in a lot of Indian cuisine - dahl is a rich curry made with lentils. There are also dosas, which are a flatbread made from lentil flour. If you really cannot stand the texture of beans, there are plenty of ways to sneak them into your diet. For example, soybeans come in many shapes and forms. You can eat them cooked and salted as edamame or pressed as soy milk. One of the most popular ways to eat soybeans is tofu. With its soft texture
of Vitamin E, niacin, and folate. Enjoy peanuts the way you always have - in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in order to take full advantage of these benefits. But be smart about how you choose your peanut butter. Often, they come loaded with additional sugar and salt, which detracts from the health benefits of

and mild taste, tofu tastes nothing like beans but still provides plenty of protein as well as 77 percent of your body’s daily calcium needs. Soybeans and their related products have also been proven to reduce the chance of breast cancer. Another legume you may want to choose if you hate the traditional taste
of legumes is the peanut. Though peanuts are traditionally thought of as nuts, they grow underground and cannot botanically qualify as nuts. Like their fellow legumes, peanuts offer a healthy amount of protein but are also rich in monounsaturated fats, which are very good for your heart. They are also a good source
the peanut. Choose a natural peanut butter and get some exercise by stirring it! Beans and legumes may not be beautiful or sweet the way berries are but they are super-foods just the same. Disregarding beans and legumes would do your health and your taste buds a great disservice.
Kaiser Picks Pasadena for School of Medicine Kaiser Permanente announced Wednesday, March 9, that the campus for its School of Medicine will be located in the City of Pasadena. The site for the school, on land Kaiser Permanente already owns, is located in central Pasadena. The community was chosen because of its “proximity to affordable housing, public transit, and major freeways.”
“The highly livable city of Pasadena is culturally and economically diverse, and is within a few miles of other major Kaiser Permanente facilities where much of the students’ education will take place,” according to their department of public relations. The School of Medicine campus will be located adjacent to the Kaiser Permanente Department of Research &
Evaluation. “Selection of Pasadena as the future Kaiser Permanente School of Medicine location highlights the qualities that make our city so attractive to residents and employers, and to new businesses considering where to locate,” said Pasadena Mayor Terry Tornek. “Pasadena is a dynamic place to live, work and play. It’s a growing center for innovation
GROUND BREAKING FORECLOSURE RULING!
The California Supreme Court ruled on February 18, 2016 that a homeowner has the right to challenge his lender's authority to foreclose based upon void assignments of the loan to third parties. The high court expressly upheld an earlier California Appellate opinion called Glaski v Bank of America. This decision could set aside many foreclosures and/or obtain monetary damages, settle lawsuits with modifications and prevent foreclosures from happening in the first place. This decision will hopefully provide our firm with even more legal leverage to not only set aside many foreclosures and /or obtain money damages, but settle lawsuits with modifications and prevent foreclosures from happening in the first place.

in technology, education, science and health, and already a destination for arts, culture, and recreation. We look forward to working with Kaiser Permanente on their plans for this exciting project.” Demographic changes in the U.S. population have created increasingly diverse communities. Physicians in the 21st century require cultural competency and fluency in order to meet the needs of their patients and to best serve their communities. “We have an opportunity, even an obligation, to redesign medical education and be a catalyst for change,” Dr. Ellison said. “New generations of physicians will take this knowledge wherever they choose to practice, inside or outside of Kaiser Permanente, and will be well-prepared to meet the total health needs of communities across the nation, including the necessary work of addressing health disparities.” Groundbreaking is expected in 2017, and the school will welcome its first class of students in the fall of 2019.

are highly trained to protect their community rarely do they get the acknowledgment that is so welldeserved. 15 percent of Arcadia’ Fire Department is comprised of local guys who were brought up in Arcadia. Hopefully, we will help you get to know a little more about the men and women who serve this city day and night. We asked these local guys what makes them tick, why they became firefighters, and why they chose to remain in Arcadia: - Brian Ursettie: “I have a great appreciation for this city, and am grateful for the part it played in who we have become. The Arcadia Fire Department is one of the most highly trained departments around with a fabulous reputation. “What is the greatest concern that the residents of Arcadia face? Without a doubt, Measure A, the repeal of the UUT. If Measure
A were to pass the residents of this city would see a dramatic loss of service. From the fire side, they would face the closure of Fire Station 107 on Orange Grove, and a loss of nine firefighters plus one chief. Response times could increase, whether on a fire or medical calls, one minute might mean the difference between life and death. “The police would be facing a cut of 12 police officers in a time where crime all across LA County is on the rise. This tax has been in place since the 1970s, and to eliminate it completely would have a huge impact on city services. I think the saddest part of the whole measure is that it has nothing to do with the City of Arcadia, which has always been a fiscally conservative city. It is being driven by a Pasadena-based Group ‘California Tax Limitation Committee’ which is trying to
repeal the UUT in hundreds of cities. “I am a very conservative person, but I wouldn’t sacrifice the safety of Arcadians for any political agenda. The literature being circulated has tons of fabrications and half-truths for the very reason that the city council has done a great job managing the taxpayers money. We are all very concerned about Measure A, we are concerned for the residents, our families that still live in town, and our members that will have to protect and serve the city with fewer resources.” having family and friends still around. It is also good to be able to serve, help, and be there for the community that gave me so much when I was growing up.” For more comments from local firefighters and the full version of this story see: www.arcadiaweekly. com.

vices Director, but “additional discussion is needed.” To that end, Council Member Mickey Segal proposed an all-day community workshop to help work out issues residents have with the zoning changes and fix any misconceptions. “We don’t have any vested different interest than anybody sitting out there, our property’s affected just the same way their property’s affected.” Arcadia is one of the few cities in the area without Floor Area Ratio (FAR) regulations, according to Mayor Gary Kovacic. The American Planning Association defines FAR as floor area divided by lot area on its website. “A floor area ratio of 1.0 means that floor area may equal lot area … and FAR 0.5 that it may be no more than half the lot area.” The Mayor pointed out the only other cities without FAR regulations were Baldwin Park and Duarte. “While those are perfectly nice cities … I wouldn’t say that’s the company Arcadia usually keeps.” The city has been working on updating the Zoning Code since 2014, according to a recent Staff report. The project was initiated late that year and community meetings were held in the

following January and February. From May to October, a lawsuit stalled the process. When it restarted, a citizen’s committee was formed to “obtain a wide range of input and ideas,” and work alongside Staff. Additionally, efforts were made to clear up confusion about code requirements including community meetings and newsletters. Residents are still confused and outraged as evidenced by this week’s packed Council Chamber. Those against the zoning changes
worried about property taxes and being able to build homes big enough for extended families. Those for the zoning changes like former Mayor and Council Member Peter Ahmundson said people felt they had lost their privacy and “quality of life” to the new taller houses. “This has been festering for 20 years.” The city’s efforts to update the zoning codes are not alone. Saving Arcadia has gotten 3,000 signatures on a ballot initiative to limit future FARs, house heights, and basement square footage. The group is “dedicated to preserving the property values of our homes by adopting new residential building codes.” In the proposed initiative, the FAR would be limited to 35% of the lot for those under 10,000 square feet, 50% if over 10,000 square feet and 55% for one story, according to Saving Arcadia’s website. Council Member Roger Chandler called the initiative “draconian.” But, he said, the Council did not have to put it on the ballot until April 2018. The next Council Meeting will be April 5th at 7 p.m. The community workshop will be March 24th at 9 a.m. in the City Council Chambers.

will drop up to 30 percent. If your house needs to be rebuilt in the future, your land value will be very low since only smaller houses are allowed to be built on your land. If this is not acceptable, the city council would like to hear from you on March 15 at 6 p.m. Please email to us at arcadia.residents@gmail.com if you want to sign a letter of objection. We (a group of Arcadia Resident Rights Protection neighbors) will help you express your concerns. If the city council hears no objections, this will become a law after March 15. This is the official link to city zoning recommendations (see page eight): http:// www.ci.arcadia.ca.us/home/ showdocument?id=5906. Please attend a presentation given by city council, Sho Tay. Private event at Santa Anita Inn (130 W. Huntington Drive) March 11 at 7:30 p.m. or March 12 at 10 a.m.” In response to our story, Mayor Gary Kovacic said, "I don't know who wrote the flyer, but it certainly demonstrates a misunderstanding of the zoning code update process and the citizen committee's proposed recommendations. The factual errors in the flyer are misleading." Sho Tay responded to our request for comment via
email: “I don’t know why you said I am ‘sending around Arcadia,’ that was not my letter. A group of Chinese approached me after Feb. 22 public meeting ask me to explain to them in Chinese, and was wonder why city does not have the article in Chinese. Instead of having the city spending the money to print a Chinese version, I volunteer to do the ‘translation’ for them. I have no opinion on the ‘recommendation,’ if you know of someone that willing to volunteer their time to do the ‘translation’ please let me know. Thank you in advance. - Sho.” We also asked some candidates and local businessmen and women what they think of Tay’s latest flyer: Andrew Cooper, CEO of Arcadia Realtors Association, had this to say: “the Arcadia Association of Realtors® has not made any official statement on the proposed zoning regulations. I have not personally seen the flyer, I’ve only read about the content online in your publication. While we respect everyone’s opinions on the matter I think it might not be entirely fair to say that ‘most’ Realtors® think there will be a reduction in property
values. Based on a survey of our 2,300-plus members we know we have passionate Realtor® members on both sides of the issue and we absolutely respect that. While property value reductions may or may not be true I should make it clear that this organization has not been contacted nor made a statement in any official capacity regarding the flyer nor the zoning regulations. - Andrew Cooper, Chief Executive Officer, CIPS.” Burton Brink sent us this: “We have two councilmen (Tay and Chandler) who want to scare our residents into thinking that the rezoning will make us lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in our property values! The KPCC (89.3, local) radio station website (link below) published a story about this issue and it said, ‘city councilmember Sho Tay said some people opposed to bigger homes might feel differently if they understood their purpose for these residents. Tay said many Asian families want bigger homes because they live with extended family, like parents and in-laws, under one roof. It’s a lack of understanding, Tay said. I try to explain to people – you don’t want to kick them out your house
and send them to an old folks’ home.” http://www.scpr.org/ news/2016/03/09/58367/ arcadia-residents-battle-overmansionization/. I took care of both of my parents before they passed away. I took care of them in our home, where they lived from 1967, until their passing in 2011 and 2013. We did not put them in an ‘old folks home’ and we did not need a bigger house to care for them. The notion of having a ‘bigger home’ because some want to live with their extended families does not mean building a home that rivals a motel. The population of Arcadia is 60 percent Asian, which means that 40 percent are from other cultures/ethnicities. The United States and the City of Arcadia, was built on a melting pot of foreigners (and cultures) who came together to better our community and each other. Families come here to raise their children, afford them the opportunity to attend great schools and live cohesively. Tay makes it clear, that Arcadia needs to ‘change’ to accommodate a specific group of residents in the city. We can all live here and work together to build relationships the way America and Arcadia was meant to be, not turn it
into another country. Tay says he does not have anything to do with the flyers, ‘I don’t know why you say I am sending around Arcadia.’ However, the flyers depict his name and title in the event. Councilmember Tay said, ‘instead of having the city spending the money to print Chinese version, I volunteer to do the ‘translation’ for them.’ My question would be, is he offering a translator for Englishonly speakers at his ‘private event?’ The flyer says, ‘most realtors estimate that the property value will drop up to 30 percent.’ Really? Who are most of these realtors? I have spoken to trusted realtors in Arcadia, who have assured me, property values will not ‘drop’ if the Zoning Review Committee Recommendations are approved. All the cities surrounding Arcadia have zoning codes in place and their property values have not depreciated. Why would ours? Although Mr. Tay claims he has nothing to do with the ‘flyers’ being circulated, the flyers are clear that the event is being presented by Mr. Tay. ‘Please attend a presentation given by City Council, Sho Tay. Private event at Santa Anita Inn. (130 W. Huntington
Drive) March 11 at 7:30 p.m. or March 12 at 10 a.m. [sic].” Additionally, we contacted Arcadia Residents Group for comment. Here is what they added to the mix: “Arcadia Residents Group: We are a group of Arcadia residents with concern that the future of our city will be hurt by this unreasonable zoning code changes. We received a lot [sic] of emails expressing the same concern after we shared the details of this zoning code changes to our neighbors. Lots of them have never received any information from the city about these changes and they were very surprised and asked why they were totally in the dark. We invited council member Sho Tay to our private event as a translator. We spell out that it is a private event in the flyer. Our question to you is: why our action and intention of protecting the future of the city is being called ‘Ugly Side of Politics?’ Please comment on that. Regards, A group of residents who care about the future of our city.” We asked this “group of residents” … who was at the helm of this ship, to no avail. The email was never returned.

Bubba Male Terrier Mix, Age: 2
A Wee Bit of Laughter By Dorothy Denne
S
ince on March 17 everyone is either Irish or pretends to be, I will resurrect some of me Irish jokes so ye can enjoy a wee bit of laughter: - Murphy: Murphy was staggering home with a pint of booze in his back pocket when he slipped and fell heavily. Struggling to his feet, he felt something wet running down the back of his leg. "Please, Lord," he implored, "let it be blood!" - Paddy: Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and could not find a parking space. Looking up to heaven he said, "Lord, take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish whiskey!" Miraculously, a parking place appeared. Paddy looked up again and said, "Never mind, I found one." - Father Murphy: Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal and says to the first man he meets, "Do you want to go to heaven?" The man said, "I do, Father." The priest said, "Then stand there against the wall." Then the priest asked the second man, "Do you want to go to heaven?" "Certainly, Father," was the man's reply. "Then stand over there against the wall," said the priest. Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and said, "Do you want to go to heaven?" O'Toole said, "No I don't, Father." The priest said, "I don't believe this. You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?" O'Toole said, "Oh, when I die, yes. I thought you were getting a group together to go right now." - Gallagher: Gallagher opened the morning newspaper and was dumbfounded to read in the obituary column that he had died. He quickly phoned his best friend, Finney. "Did you see the paper?" asked Gallagher. "They say I died!" "Yes, I saw it," replied Finney. "Where are ye callin' from?" - Lost at Sea: Two Irishmen, Patrick and Michael, were adrift in a lifeboat following a dramatic escape from a burning freighter. While rummaging through the boat's provisions, Patrick stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly hoping that a genie would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To the amazement of Patrick and Michael, a genie did come forth. This particular genie, however, stated that he could deliver only one wish, not the standard three. Without giving it much thought, Patrick blurted out, "turn the entire ocean into Guinness beer." The genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash, and immediately the entire sea turned into the finest brew ever sampled by mortals. Simultaneously the genie vanished. Only the gentle lapping of Guinness on the hull broke the stillness. Patrick smiled contentedly. Michael glared at him disgustedly. After a long, tension filled moment he spoke. "Nice going Patrick. Now we're going to have to pee in the boat."
We are featuring a sweet and tiny doggy this week! Although he is well loved by his current parents, his mommy is very ill and has found it best to find Bubba a safe, loving home. He is very, very lovable, likes to play fetch, loves to give kisses and be loved. He is very small, with long legs and is fast as a wink. A permanent home is ideal, but a foster home would be of immediate help in this urgent situation. He is healthy, housebroken, neutered, and has all his shots.

In Honor of Women’s History Month – A Tribute to My Greatest Mentor As I reflect on the wonderful women mentors over the course of my life, my mother is without a doubt the one person who has made the most impact on my life. My mom, Elizabeth, was a true example of strength, compassion, and resiliency. Mom raised three girls by herself; me included, and was “no nonsense” in raising us. She was born and raised in Birmingham, Ala. during a time when “Negros” were separated from everything. My mom’s family was forced to have her leave home at 17-years-old
due to fear for her safety. As my mom’s family was told by Sheriff Bull Connor, “she was too uppity and didn’t know her place.” So she was sent to live with relatives in Baltimore. After my mom and dad divorced, we moved to California. She raised her three girls to be leaders and push the boundaries with respect, but never allow others to shape who or what you can accomplish. She often worked two to three jobs to take care of us and seldom showed stress. It is amazing to me that we always had

people in our house and no one was refused a meal or a couch to sleep on. I do not know how she did it. I am grateful beyond words for my mom and I miss her every day. She lost her battle with lung cancer in 2001. Whenever, I get tired, wary or discouraged, I immediately think of my mom. I shake it off and remember her words, “To much is given, much is expected, get in there and make it happen.” Thank you mom, I love and miss you! - Phlunte’ Riddle

Sequoyah School Welcomes Its First 9th Graders By May S. Ruiz In January of this year, the Harvard Graduate School of Education released a seminal document titled “Turning the Tide: Inspiring Concern for Others and the Common Good through College Admis-
sions,” which has the potential to forever alter the college admissions landscape. The result of a joint effort among the nation’s most respected colleges and universities, this two-year campaign hopes to promote ethical engagement among students, reduce ex-
cessive achievement pressure, and level the playing field for economically disadvantaged students. If its noble mission were to actually come to pass, Sequoyah School, which will be welcoming its first high school students this fall, would be at the forefront of this sea

change. Established in Pasadena in 1958 by local college professors, ministers, scientists, teachers, doctors, and civil servants, Sequoyah School is a place where children can find joy in learning and make a difference in the world. Its founders’ mission is to provide education that challenges the mind, nurtures the heart, and celebrates human dignity. The school values ethnic and socio-economic diversity in its enrollment, and 30 to 40 percent of its students pay below full tuition. Over half a century later, it hopes to extend this same ethic from the K-8 grades into high school. Josh Brody, Sequoyah’s school director, welcomes this timely conversation that emphasizes concern for others over building shiny resumes, and he thinks that more schools are embracing this progressive approach as good pedagogy. He elaborates “Sequoyah’s students will develop initiative and self-direction through college preparatory coursework and field studies emphasizing global perspectives and cultural competency. Independent study and collaborative effort will culminate in a junior-year social impact project and senior-year internship.” Sequoyah’s first high school director, Marc Alongi, explains their curriculum, “Each school year is divided into seven five-week modules. Students take three 85-minute courses per day, plus an elective and social innovation program, giving them time to be more focused. Furthermore, they will have interdisciplinary work within each curriculum.” Core courses in English, math, history/social

Our youth need public figures and parents to work together and provide information to our families about the high-risk consequences of inappropriate photo sharing. - Courtesy Photo
Sheriff Warns Parents of Nude ‘Selfies’ Being Sent Over Internet This week, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) Human Trafficking Bureau (HTB) held a news conference and provided reporters a comprehensive update on the horrific nature and the sheer number of human trafficking cases that involve children and young teens taking nude photos of themselves and sending them over the internet. What may have started as a copycat of an online trend is now manifesting itself as a nexus between our young teens and the predators who seek to exploit them for profit. In 2015, the LASD HTB and its co-located partners in the Los Angeles Regional Taskforce on Human Trafficking investigated 519 cases that involved nude photos of girls and boys as young as 8 years old. These photos are forever circulating in cyberspace. Of these cases, one in four photos involved young teenage girls and boys who had taken nude “selfies,” perhaps as an “act of love” for a boyfriend or girlfriend, an act of teenage rebellion, a cry for attention, or did so because they were duped by someone posing as a friend or teenage acquaintance. All too often, these images end up on the internet or in the hands of child predators, some of whom actually make contact with these children with the specific intent of luring them into a relationship, extorting them for additional photos and videos, or in some cases, even money. These cases
slice across all socio-economic and racial lines. Year to date in 2016, in just a two-and-a-half month period of time, LASD HTB detectives investigated 81 cases involving nude and compromising photographs and videos of our young children and teens on the internet. The quantity of these images number in the thousands. Online forums and websites that market themselves as platforms where these images “disappear” are very misleading; let me be clear; these images never disappear. They are forever present on the internet, viewed and traded like baseball cards by child molesters, predators and extortionists, many of whom re-post these nude images on file sharing sites, exponentially exposing these inappropriate and illegal images of a young girl or boy. Afterward, our young victims often fall into deep depression and have suicidal feelings which stay with them for a lifetime. Our youth need public figures and parents to work together and provide information to our families about the high-risk consequences of inappropriate photo sharing. We need and want to partner with high profile individuals whose form of self-expression is not blatantly a form of commerce, but a demonstration of the importance of setting goals and teaching our children, but especially our girls, that they have more to offer than just their bodies. Parents should also understand the legal jeop-
ardy for teens sending nude photos over the internet or cellular device. Directing someone to make, send, or possess these photos is both a federal and state crime. Every day, our Human Trafficking Bureau sees the tragic realization for parents who learn of their child mimicking what they see in the media, or buying into the myth that their online accounts are truly private, truly secure, that they can control the access of the increasingly sophisticated criminal enterprises who hunt for their next victims on the very platforms parents may believe are just for fun. I encourage parents to learn more about the consequences of sexting and sharing nude photographs, and the threat online predators pose to our children by contacting the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (www. missingkids.org), the Los Angeles Regional Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, or the LASD Human Trafficking Bureau’s Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement (SAFE) team, at (323) 526-5156. In addition, the SAFE Team can assist victims and families and provide valuable direction in mitigating some of the issues that may arise if their child has already engaged in this conduct. Let us do this for our children, and rest assured, the detectives from our LASD HTB will pursue, to the fullest extent of the law, predators engaged in online sexual exploitation of our children.

In the event that a post-sale agreement re: future occupancy is not reached, then the Mobile Home Park owner reserves the right to require the removal of the mobilehome within 48 hours after the sale.

Duarte Girls’ Basketball Eliminated from CIF Playoffs Photos by trevor stamp Last Saturday, March 12, the Lady Falcon’s basketball squad from Duarte High School fell in the second round of the CIF Southern Section Playoffs to St. Anthony, 68-43. The game started out close, with Duarte only down four points at the conclusion of the first half, 24-28. Unfortunately, St. Anthony came out firing in the second half and pulled off the 25-point victory.

sports Bash Is Bringing Boxing Back!
BeaconMediaNews.com
An Interview With Steven Bash By Jacob Bigley We at Beacon Media sat down with Steven Bash, attorney and owner of Bash Entertainment/Bash Boxing Inc., a full service sports and entertainment company providing professional athletes and companies legal representation as well as management, marketing and promotional services. In an effort to bring back the "good old days" of professional boxing and give young fighters an opportunity to showcase their talents, Bash Boxing is involved with Art of Boxing Promotions in the organization and promotion of live boxing events. Together, Bash Boxing and Art of Boxing Promotions have organized over 15 professional boxing shows. Their current projects include Hollywood Fight Night at the Florentine Gardens, War At Woodland Hills at the Warner Center Marriott, and Glendale Glory at the Glendale Civic Auditorium. BMI: How did you first get into boxing? SB: About 12 years ago, a professional boxer came into my law office and asked me to represent him in a legal dis-
pute with his promoter at the time, Don King. I resolved the dispute and when the boxer came to pick up his check, he asked me to become his manager. I always liked sports so I agreed. That boxer became a World Champion and it just kept snowballing from there. BMI: What is your favorite aspect about the sport? SB: As representative of boxers, there is nothing more rewarding than being involved with a boxer or MMA fighter that climbs the latter of the sport and achieves its highest level. As a promoter of the events, I mostly enjoy seeing a packed house of fans and feeling the energy of the crowd during an event that took a tremendous amount of work to put on. Personally, my favorite aspect has been the opportunity to travel to different parts of the world for boxing events. BMI: How did "Bash Boxing" get started? SB: After being lucky to represent some World Champions as an attorney and manager, I started to represent younger fighters who needed a platform to build their careers on the local level. There were few options for these
fighters in the L.A. area and so Bash Boxing came to existence. 30-plus shows later, we keep bringing a fun and entertaining live sporting event option to the local fight fans. BMI: What would you ultimately like to see "Bash Boxing" become? SB: Bash Boxing has always been my “hobby” (while often times taking up a great deal of my time). We have gone from two to three events per year to 10 to 12, including boxing and MMA. Certainly the platform has the potential to expand beyond the local level but ultimately, these shows are done for fun. So long as demand from the local communities and boxing industry continues, we will keep putting on shows for people to enjoy. BMI: What are your thoughts on MMA? SB: I have been fortunate to be involved with some of the bigger names in MMA like Ronda Rousey and Fedor Emelianenko and have represented MMA promoters. And I enjoy the sport and have recently partnered with Lights Out Promotions and Combate Americas on some great MMA shows in the San Fernando
Valley and the L.A. Area. I think the sport will continue to grow and for good reason. BMI: Does MMA threaten boxing's popularity? If so, what is your approach to keep "BashBoxing" competitive? SB: After doing both MMA and boxing shows, I feel the fans are somewhat different and that both MMA and boxing have a place in the hearts of combat sports fans. I don’t think neither sport threatens each other at this point but that both sports will continue to co-exist and maintain their popularity. BMI: What is your relationship with the fighters? SB: My relationship with the fighters used to be a lot closer when I took more of a management role in their careers. But as my own two kids become older, I have made sure to focus on their development and limit my involvement with the fighters. With that said, I still am a fan first and foremost and always like to help fighters in any way I can. BMI: What is the process to get an event up and running and how do you maintain a constant schedule? SB: I have always com-
pared the organization of a boxing or MMA event to throwing a huge wedding … except nobody brings you any presents and there is no honeymoon. You have to deal with the venue, the entertainment, the food, the production, getting the word out, and all other aspects of any live event. Then there is a tremendous amount of work involved in with getting the fighters matched, licensed, and ready to go on fight night. There is a constant schedule and a lot of work involved by some very dedicated people. And then a few days of rest and on to the next show. BMI: What is Steve Bash's next step to grow "Bash Boxing"? SB: That’s a tough question because the company has pretty much grown organically without a huge desire to keep climbing any particular ladder. But as the business grows and we do more shows, more often, the next step would certainly have to be getting some additional staff so I could do less work! BMI: Explain Steve Bash's love for the sport and his business... SB: I have always felt
there are two sports, boxing and hockey, that need to be seen live and in person to truly appreciate the speed, force, and true nature and beauty of their respective sports. Many folks have seen a boxing event on TV but have never experienced it live. I fell in love with the sport of boxing when I first saw it live and I fell in love with the business when I felt I could make a difference in the careers of fighters and how events are organized. I love when people that have never gone to a live event come up to me and tell me how awesome and enjoyable their experience was. There is just something about that live experience in boxing that cannot compare to most sports. The business part is actually a love/hate relationship. There are some really good folks and some not so good folks in the business of boxing. I have been fortunate to make some very close friends in the business and work with great people. And at the end of the day, you have to love and enjoy what you do and who you work with. And when it comes to boxing and MMA, I simply love and enjoy it.

La Salle Boys’ Basketball Eliminated From CIF Playoffs Photo by trevor stamp
T-Ball Pirates. -Photo by Mark Peters
El Monte National Little League Opening Day March 12 marked the opening day for the youth of El Monte National Little League (EMNLL). A chance of rain did not deter over 100 little leaguers on more than 20 teams from breaking out their bats and stepping out on the diamond during the opening day of EMNLL to start the three-month league season. The league consists of T-Ballers to Majors. Parents and volunteers
were on the field setting up before 8 a.m. This day takes months of planning for the EMNLL board of directors. Each team from each division was given a booth to man and operate where they had to sell food, candy, hold games, and drinks. This is a way for the league to raise money as well as the individual teams get to keep a portion of the proceeds to support the kids.
Opening day created an upbeat atmosphere where coaches and volunteers did a great job of putting their younger players in the spotlight. Each team, starting with T-Ball, was called up to march in front of the city council and families during the annual parade. This year each player will remember the Little League Pledge: “Win or lose, I will always do my best.”
