Rep. Schiff Gravely Disappointed Obama Is Leaving Office Without Fulfilling Commitment to Recognize Armenian Genocide Representative Adam Schiff (D-Burbank), the lead sponsor of the Armenian Genocide Truth and Justice Resolution in Congress, released the following statement after President Obama did not use the word "genocide" to describe the Armenian Genocide ahead of Sunday's commemoration: “I’m gravely disappointed that President Obama will now leave office without fulfilling his commitment to recognize the Armenian
Genocide. For a president who knows the history so well, who spoke so passionately about the genocide as a senator and presidential candidate, and who has always championed human rights, the choice of silence and complicity is all the more painfully inexplicable. Remaining silent in an effort to curry favor with Turkey is as morally indefensible as it will be ineffectual. "How many administrations must be intimi-
dated into silence before we realize that it never changes Turkish behavior for the better and only emboldens the increasingly authoritarian regime? Recognition of the Armenian Genocide
could have been a proud part of the president's legacy; instead this decision will be just another sad milestone in the struggle to prevent genocide by exposing genocide and its perpe-
trators." This past week, Schiff spoke on the House Floor and delivered an open letter to the President of the United States, Barack Obama, urging him to recognize the
Armenian Genocide in his final year in office in advance of the 101st anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. The commemoration of the genocide took place on Sunday, April 24.
Parking Is Such Sweet Sorrow
By Annette Semerdjian
The decision by the Pasadena City Council to immobilize vehicles by adding a boot to the wheel could take full effect as soon as October of this year. The council made the decision on April 18 to add a boot to cars whose owners have five or more unpaid parking citations. The city attorney must draft an ordinance within the next 60 days to change the Pasadena Municipal Code about the consequence of booting cars with multiple unanswered citations instead of towing them. The Parking Division of the Pasadena Department of Transportation brought the amendment to the council Monday, April 18 in order to switch to a more efficient way of addressing the consequences of five or more past due citations. “The booting approach would reduce the time and activities needed to immobilize a vehicle and for a vehicle owner to recover the use of the vehicle impounded for non-payment of parking citations,” it wrote in the agenda report released the day of the council meeting. “Instead of having to travel to the impound yards that are all outside of Pasadena, a booting program would allow drivers to pay the boot fee and their past due citations and have the boot removed without having to leave the city.” Although the city will continue to tow vehicles in other cases, such as those parked in tow-away zones or blocked driveways, the department of transportation felt it unnecessary to apply the same consequence to
vehicle owners with overdue parking tickets. Yet, the instructions of removal for the placed boots would not be addressed until a clear system is put in place for the booting program. Therefore, there was no say thus far on the hassle for vehicle owners in removing the boot, just that the impounding system would be more hassle. The agenda report also stated that the cost of the booting program “may result in a higher overall rate of collections for overdue citations that would benefit the city's General Fund.” Thus, even with the news that those who are prone to overdue parking citations strictly enforced in the City of Pasadena would have a less time- consuming option for losing their vehicle, the hike in citation fees could make the deal less appealing. Also, if the owner of the booted car cannot pay the removal fee and citation fines on time, the vehicle may be impounded anyways, or fined further, if parked on a street with parking limitations while immobilized. The boot fee has gone up yearly and is about $154 now, although with the new program being put in place for October of 2016, the fee could be even more than that, as could parking citation fees. The change in means of vehicle immobilization by the city may be a more timeefficient system, but it may also not be something to rejoice about for the car owners of Pasadena. Whether the choice by the city council is truly one that benefits Pasadena or not, it is up to the local drivers facing these consequences to decide.

Justice for Homicide Victims: Building Trust and Restoring Hope By Joan Scmhidt Thirty-two years ago, two brave special mothers, “Lenny” (Ellen Griffin) Dunne and Marcella Nicolas Leach founded “Justice for Homicide Victims.” Both mothers experienced the brutal murders of their beautiful daughters. Dominique Dunne was killed by a former boyfriend who failed in two prior attempts to strangle her. His trial was a farce; manslaughter conviction and three years in prison; the jury was not allowed to hear his former girlfriend’s testimony. A year later, Marsalee Ann Nicolas (Marsy) was murdered by her ex-boyfriend. He was arrested, but out on $50,000 bail. A week after her daughter’s funeral, Marcella met the murderer at the market! No one told her he was released. This is why Justice for Homicide Victims (JHV) began. Two years ago, I met Leach and Dunne’s two sons, who spoke at the 30th anniversary; I was in awe of how these victims of tragedy could fight tirelessly for reform and help others. This year’s memorial’s theme was “Building Trust and Restoring Hope.” The program had three outstanding speakers, State Senator Bob Huff, San Bernardino District Attorney Mike Ramos, and LA County Supervisor Mike Antonovich. They noted Prop 47, AB 109, and a rise in crime, spoke with compassion for all victims, urged everyone to serve on juries to ensure justice, research death penalty reforms, and praised the two
honored deputy district attorneys. The two deputy district attorney honorees were Robert Villa and Sakira Kim. Villa got a conviction for the brutal murderer of the Tarin family, father Alfredo, son, A.D. and daughter, Serena. Surviving daughter Valerie bravely recounted the horror as surviving mom fought tears. The murderer brought gasoline, poured it in front of the house to trap the family inside, and entered with an assault rifle firing 50-plus shots. For his tenacity and refusal to give up, Villa was honored. Deputy District Attorney Kim was relentless in getting the conviction of the coward who killed five year old, Aaron Shannon, Jr., William Shannon, the brave grandfather, explained that awful day. He bought a Spiderman costume for Aaron and planned attend a Halloween party at 2 p.m. Aaron put on his costume and went out back to show his grandfather and uncle. The murderer came down the street and just fired into the yard, killing Aaron. The first trial had a hung jury and William was discouraged but met Kim. She brought the case to a second trial, also hung jury. But at the third trial, Kim got the conviction. In between the speakers and honorees, we were treated to the International Peace Choir. These talented youths wore costumes from various countries. At the end of the program, survivors released doves and balloons with special messages, followed by lunch.

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home for Sale According to industry experts, there are several physical problems that will come under scrutiny during inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with,
any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether.

costly and unmanageable ones.

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.

Reader’s Letter Concerning El Monte Union High School District Superintendent Dear Editor: Ms. Siegrist need not fret about her vote for the interim superintendent of the El Monte Union High School District.
(See article submitted to the Weekly by Ms. Siegrist dated April 14, 2016. She was one of two board members who voted wisely). It has been common knowledge for years throughout the district that Mr. Zuniga is one of the “anointed” ones, handpicked and pushed along the way as promotions have come up. The board needs to ask itself, “What has Mr. Zu-
STRESSED? ANXIOUS? RELATIONSHIP ISSUES?
niga done to contribute to the needs of the students of the district as he has moved up the ladder?” I would venture to say very little or nothing. The board now has the opportunity to select a person who will move the district forward, is supportive of staff and students, is creative and has a track record for bringing his/her current district to new heights.
We are here to help. Fuller Psychological and Family Services Offering psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, and relational problems as well as neuropsychological assessments, all at affordable rates.
A vote for Mr. Zuniga is a vote for continued mediocrity and a lack of desperately needed improvement Sincerely, Name Witheld

A Noise Within (ANW), the classical theatre repertory company based in Pasadena, is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Founders and Producing Artistic Directors Geoff Elliott and Julia Rodriguez-Elliott still find it amazing that they have reached that milestone. “If someone were to tell me a decade ago, when we were still in the cold, leaky Masonic Temple in Glendale, that I would be standing here in front of you today, I would never have believed it. I would have loved to hear it but I could not have imagined it to be the case. And yet here I am; it’s simply beyond our wildest dreams,” Elliott humbly confessed before an audience of theatre supporters, artists-in-residence, and a few members of the press. This past Tuesday, April 19, ANW officially began its 25th year celebration and unveiled its growth plans as well as the slate of play offerings for the 2016-2017 season. Michael Bateman, managing director, who opened that evening’s event, described how the company plans to build on its

success and thrive in the future. He also revealed how ANW will get the funding to support its grand initiatives. The company’s ambitious growth plans include: continuing to invest in the
artistic company – actors, designers, and directors; providing flexibility for ANW’s creative artists through “freedom funds;” maximizing educational outreach by providing additional transportation and
ticket scholarships to underserved schools, and deeper engagement opportunities for teachers and for students, including sequential learning options and curriculum development assistance. After Bateman talked about the business of producing memorable plays, Elliott and Rodriguez-Elliott took to the stage and announced ANW’s 2016-2017 season offerings. Amidst enthusiastic cheers from members of the company and theatre enthusiasts, who have been eagerly anticipating this announcement, they outlined each play – Tom Stoppard’s “Arcadia;” “The Maids” by Jean Genet; Moliere’s “The Imaginary Invalid,” adapted by Constance Congdon based on a new translation by Dan Smith; Shakespeare’s “King Lear;” “Ah Wilderness!” by Eugene O’Neill; “Man of La Mancha” by Dale Wasserman, music by Mitch Leigh and lyrics by Joe Darion; and “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens, adapted for the stage by Geoff Elliott. “Four of the plays we are announcing for the 25th anniversary season speak loudly to us now from our history – ‘The Imaginary Invalid’, ‘King Lear,’ ‘Ah, Wilderness!,’ and ‘Man of La Mancha.’ ‘Arcadia’ and ‘The Maids’ are new for us. Together our actors, artists, and audience will take a journey through and beyond our wildest, and sometimes simply wild dreams – the same journey that Julia and I have taken over this past quarter-century,” Elliott pronounced. Indeed Elliott and Rodriguez-Elliott have come very far from their humble beginnings when they used their last dime to produce “Hamlet.” And both of them are keenly aware that a loyal community of people will take the next 25-year journey with them to help ensure this art form remains flourishing for generations to come.

It Don't Mean a Thing, if It Ain't Got That Swing Dance Street in Pasadena Offers Something Completely Different By Terry Miller Like the famous Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and the 1931 jazz standard that Armstrong recorded in 1932 … there is proof positive in Pasadena that some people are really hip and immerse themselves in the ancient ritual of dance. As a result of the collaboration between six of California’s most talented ballroom dance instructors and coaches, Dance Street recently opened a studio of dance in east Pasadena. The new studio at 1715 E. Colorado represents a revolutionary new presence in the Los Angeles social and competitive dance scene and word is spreading like wildfire. We met Sean Brunell and Laurel Rose Saturday night, April 23, at a kind of open house. In this particular instance, Dance Street concentrated its efforts on Swing and the classics from 1930s. The energy in the room was electric, eclectic, and astonishing. One almost felt a time warp back to the 1930s with not only the tunes but the duds. Alongside a rather cool band, Brunell and Rose strutted their stuff, as did scores of eager participants. Complete with spats, cool 1930s to 1940s outfits, the band’s singer, also an accomplished dancer, led the evening off with some true classic tunes to spin your partner back to the future. As both one of the top Rising Star Smooth competitors in the United States, as well as one of the top 10 Pro-Am instructors in the nation, Brunell is equally comfortable coaching at a social or competitive level in all styles. From Argentine Tango to Country Western

and anything in between - if you can name a dance, Sean can teach it! A nationally recognized competitive instructor, Rose and her students hold multiple Pro-Am titles, including Top Student awards at some of the biggest competitions in the United States. Rose's 15 years of classical ballet training and over 20 years of musical training lends a uniquely artistic as-
pect to her expertise. They have classes available for all levels of dancers, from the most basic foundations of dance, all the way up to highly competitive lessons. If you are looking for a fun way to stay in shape, join them for upbeat Zumba classes. The well-rounded social programs include all the most popular dances found in the social dance scene,
including Salsa, Lindy Hop, Argentine Tango, Foxtrot, and many others. Their crowded social calendar will keep you busy with fun weekend dance nights that concentrate on specific dances, while their monthly Road Trips will immerse you in the social dance scene. They even have classes for children, which will help them get an early start on physical fitness and social skills while learning a skill that will help them throughout their life. Private lessons are available with qualified instructors that allow you to concentrate on your dancing in a more distractionfree environment. The idea behind Dance Street involves instructors and coaches who hold titles from all around the world, both as teachers and competitors. But do not let their credentials intimidate you, as they say on their website, they “specialize in turning two left feet into dancing feet, so let’s meet at Dance Street!” For more information, call (626) 791-7746 or email dancestreetcalifornia@gmail.com.

Duarte Unified School District (DUSD) is pleased to announce that Beardslee Elementary will soon receive new musical instruments, thanks to The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation (MHOF). The MHOF helps underserved schools with minimal budgets by donating new instruments, often replacing some that are more than 30 years old. An application for support was submitted by Beardslee Elementary and the MHOF found their program to be a worthwhile
investment, allowing more students to be able to play and experience the benefits of music education. Beardslee Elementary will receive 56 new instruments - valued to be worth $67,148 - generously funded by StubHub, one of the world’s largest event ticket marketplaces. Principal Jeni Romero and band instructor Rafael Arenas from Beardslee Elementary were directly involved in the application process and expressed their delight and gratitude upon
learning of the awarded donation. It is amazing to note that prior to 2013, there were not any formal music programs offered at Beardslee or any elementary school within the district. Today, because of the generous support of the Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, Duarte Education Foundation, Arts for All and VH1 Save the Music Foundation, next year all fourth through sixth grade students at Beardslee will have the opportunity to participate in band.

Alverno’s Summer Conservatory for Middle School Girls Offers a Summer of Self-Discovery When Lily Murphy of Broadoaks Children’s School set foot on the Alverno High School campus last summer for her first day of the Academic Conservatory for Middle School Girls, she certainly had no idea that she had just found her home for the next four years. “I first learned about Alverno through a high school night at my school in Whittier,” said Lily Murphy ’20. “I attended the Conservatory because I liked the school and I wanted to get a feel for the atmosphere and teachContinued from page 1

I wanted to make sure that this high school was one where I could be happy and feel comfortable.” According to her mother, Melanie Murphy, Lily was hooked after the first week. “When I picked her up at the end of the first week, Lily got in the car and said ‘this is the high school for me and I will do whatever I need to do to get in’ and she did,” said Melanie. “After attending the Conservatory, she became extremely concentrated on her grades so that she could attend Alverno and we are
so thrilled she is now a part of the Alverno High School Class of 2020.” For Lily, and the other students in the Conservatory, classes started in the morning with an algebra class geared towards preparing students for the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) and High School Placement Test (HSPT). The next classes of the day included language arts, which focused on the high school placement tests as well as creative writing and storytelling, and a leadership class that pushed the

girls to evaluate women’s roles in government, the media, and business. “Seeing Lily discuss women’s empowerment and women’s issues in class really helped her grow,” said Melanie. “Her self-esteem improved as she looked differently at how women and girls were portrayed in the media and print. It opened a door for us to discuss issues from politics to magazine covers to music videos.” Following lunch, the students attended Creative Narratives as well as Healthy

Lifestyles. In Creative Narratives, students got to use their imagination, personal experience, and background to create their visual stories. In Healthy Lifestyles, students had the opportunity to engage in a range of activities that involved the world of health, including health for the mind, body and soul. “The Creative Narratives class was my favorite class at the Conservatory,” said Lily. “I have never really enjoyed art classes that much but Mr. Lewis found a way that made art fun to me and I really enjoyed it.” By the end of the program, Lily was convinced that Alverno was the school for her but she was also confident in who she had grown into as a woman and the new friends she had made. When asked if she would recommend the program to another girl, Lily did not hesitate. “I would highly recommend it,” she said. “I had great fun getting to know the teachers and forming a bond with some of the girls that I keep to this day.

ers presented their classes, and because of it I fell in love with the school.” Her mother seconded her answer. “We are so grateful for the wonderful experience that the Conservatory gave our daughter,” she said. “Watching her decide that this was the school for her and that she wanted to improve her grades to get there was incredible. I loved that a door was opened for us to discuss self-esteem and how women are portrayed. We would whole heartedly recommend the experience to anyone.” There are limited spaces available for the Conservatory for Middle School Girls for summer 2016. Courses for this summer include high school math prep, language arts advancement, drama and improvisation, leadership, Creative Narratives, culinary arts - Chemistry in Cooking, and online media and communications.

reading, and writing development in the context of a realworld application. For this session, student journalists from Madrid Middle School, Magnolia Learning Center, Maxson School, Monte Vista School, Payne School, Twin Lakes School, and Voorhis School spent 10 weeks immersed in learning about the field of journalism and what it takes to be a journalist. Following this session’s theme of wellness, the student journalists put their interviewing and research skills to use during field study trips to various agencies that provide health related services, exercise, and nutrition to the community. Once they obtained their research for their articles, they began the writing process and produced wonderful articles on wellness, nutrition, and community health services which were published in their student created newspaper, The Mountain View Voices. A special celebration was recently held to honor the young journalists for their hard work and dedication. MVSD’s Superintendent Lillian Maldonado-French congratulated the students and thanked them and the instructors for their hard work. “Being in the journalism program was a great ex-

It was also fun meeting the people who we got to interview,” she said. At Monte Vista School,
The Eagle News team worked together to ensure their articles would be great. “We learned to write better and to interview people,” said Steven Bobadilla. “We worked together, made new friends and we all had a lot of fun from beginning to end. We learned a lot about the El Monte Promise and Bike SGV, two community resources here in El Monte.” All aspects of the program align to the Common Core and provide great practice for the students. “This was a journey for our young journalists and
they did an amazing job,” said Angelica Sifuentes-Donoso, MVSD’s director of family engagement and after school programs. “They learned valuable instructional strategies as well as developed their communications skills. We are so grateful to our community members and the wellness resources who allowed our young reporters to interview them and visit their sites. Thank you to our parents and families for allowing your children to participate and our wonderful instructors for their time and effort,” said Sifuentes-Donoso.

ransparency and health come first at Blend It Healthy in Arcadia. Owned by the husband and wife duo of Albert and Emily Li, the business was created to be an honest destination for healthy and nutritious drinks.
With nutrition awareness at an all-time high and seemingly growing every day, there are many smoothie shops and juice bars that claim to sell healthy products. Most average customers seem to assume that since the main ingredients within these drinks (i.e. fruits and vegetables) are
considered inherently nutritious, then it should follow that the end product, the smoothie, is also nutritious. Herein lies a very common misconception: despite containing fruits and vegetables with the healthy qualities we so desire, many times these benefits are negated by the addition of unknown,

artificial components. Many smoothie and juice shops also use a press technique and frozen ingredients. This process extracts the juice from the fruits and vegetables, as opposed to blending which breaks down all the components together. By separating the juice from rest of the body, this technique removes what contains the majority of the vitamins and fiber that actually compose the nutritional value. As a result, stores that use this technique, add artificial ingredients and vitamins to make up for the loss of nutrition. Moreover, in order to create the consistent, sweet flavor that customers enjoy, syrups and other artificial unknowns are thrown into the mix. At Blend It Healthy, the drinks are all blended from fresh, never-frozen ingredients. By blending the entire fruits and vegetables, their drinks retain all the fiber and vitamins. No sugar or artificial ingredients are added and all smoothies contain at least two full servings of fruits/ vegetables. In other words, if you order a smoothie with banana and apple, you will get a full apple and an entire banana. By providing customers with full servings, Blend It Healthy maximizes the nutritional value, while at the same time reducing the amount of waste they produce. All their ingredients are on full display and customers are encouraged to sample them. Furthermore, all blending takes place in plain sight, so at Blend It Healthy there are no secrets and you truly do know everything

My favorite is the 2016 goal. - My goal for 2016 was to lose just 10 pounds. Only 15 to go. - Ate salad for dinner! Mostly croutons and tomatoes.

Dispelling the Myths About Autism
By roshan perera
A
s National Autism Awareness Months comes to a close there are still numerous myths that circulate about what autism is and how to “deal with” autistic individuals. Compiled below is a list of those myths and the responses from those with autism, as well as from the medical community at large. Myth #1: There is an Autism epidemic. It is often touted that there is an autism epidemic that has arisen in our society due to a variety of causes. In truth, autism is no more common now than it was decades ago. It is a neurodevelopmental disorder, which means it effects the way our brains develop and how it processes information. It is only within the last few decades that we have begun to make great strides in understanding exactly how our brains develop and what effects its development. It is also important to recognize that the definition of what Autism is has also changed. Autism had a very narrow definition until the late 1980’s. It was only during that time that the idea of a spectrum was introduced to the definition. This caused those that were previously undiagnosed, or misdiag-
nosed, to now fall under the definition of having autism. Myth #2: People with Autism do not have or cannot feel emotions. This is actually the complete opposite of what happens. Individuals on the autistic spectrum have the same range and depth of emotions that everyone else does, they just do not process them in the same way. Many of the social and emotional interactions that happen around us are too nuanced for a person on the spectrum to pick up on. Often times an autistic person has a great deal of empathy and concern for the people around them, but they do not know how to deal with their own emotions leaving them paralyzed or frustrated with the mental overload of their own inadequacy. Myth #3: A lot of Autistic individuals have some sort of savant ability, in one capacity or another. This is partially true. There are some autistic individuals who have extraordinary abilities when it comes to mathematical, musical or artistic skills, but they are by no means a majority. The ability of an autistic individuals has often been illustrated as a linear progression. However, it has recently begun to be outlined in a more accurate polygon chart. While some
individuals may need lifelong care and have extreme difficulty living on their own, other individuals may pass virtually unnoticed as being autistic. It is a highly individualized disorder and must be recognized as such. If you would like to know more about autism or what you can do to spread awareness about this disorder, here are a few useful online resources.

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 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.

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.

Temple City Middle Schooler Has ‘Girl Power’! Few eighth graders hold a national record in any sport, but Temple City’s Amber Grace, a petite middle schooler, can be called the strongest 13-year-old, 100-pound girl in America. On March 18, Grace participated in a US Power-
lifting Association’s (USPA) state competition in Whittier, where she broke California and American records for girls ages 13 to 15, weighing less than 105 pounds, in two of the sport’s three events: squat, deadlift, and bench press. At the meet:
2016 EXCLUSIVE
- Grace bench pressed 77 pounds (in a bench press, the competitor lies flat on their back on a bench, then lowers and raises a barbell above the chest). - She squatted 165 pounds (the competitor stands with a barbell resting

across the shoulders, then squats until the hips descend below the knee, then rises to standing again). - She deadlifted 192 pounds (a deadlift requires leaning forward to pick a barbell off the ground, then standing up straight, with arms extended downward, before lowering to replace it on the ground). Grace’s deadlift and squat scores, plus her total score of 434 pounds, set new American records age and weight class for girls. And she did it with style, accessorizing her black “singlet” – the mandatory short one-piece black jumpsuit – with a pink lifting belt and Wonder Woman socks. Like many star athletes, Grace’s accomplishments began with obstacles. She had tried out for the Oak Avenue Intermediate School’s volleyball, basketball, and cheerleading teams, but was turned down by each – the first two perhaps because of her short stature – she is just shy of 5-feet-tall. Grace’s parents, Wendy and Chris Grace of Temple City, own the Mission Fitness Center on Mission Street in San Marino and they are both personal trainers. Chris, 44, set state records in powerlifting last year. Amber goes to the gym every day after school to do her homework in the office – and occasionally to play
on the equipment - but she had never shown any interest in serious training. Until last July, after she had been turned down by her school’s athletic teams, Grace watched her father lifting barbells, and something clicked. “I asked my dad if I could do it too and he said, ‘yes!’ It took off from there!” revealed Grace. She trained for three months, working mostly on posture rather than weight. At her first meet last October, Grace set state records, with a 121-pound squat, a 66-pound bench press, and a 153-pound deadlift. When the meet was over, Grace continued to train with her father and her mom, Wendy Grace, 44, trained alongside her as a first-time competitor. They trained for about 90 minutes a day, four-to-five days a week. Training is not just about increasing loads. In competition, judges tell contestants when to pick up the barbell, when to move it, when to pause, and when to let go. Obeying those complicated cues and maintaining form and balance are as important as muscle power. After the triumphant meet on March 18, Grace took a week off. But now she is back at it. “I’m just going to build strength for the next six months,” she says. “Then I’ll probably compete again to set higher American records.

When I’m 16, I’ll go for the world records.” Competitors must be 16 to compete in USPA world championships. Grace says that participating in the sport has given her more self-confidence. “Before powerlifting, everyone made fun of me because of my height; now they wouldn’t dare. Also, a lot of people used to pick on my friends; when that happens, I go talk to them and they stop bothering my friends.” Her accomplishments also caused her teachers to rethink assumptions. “One of our teachers was looking for a student to carry the heavy dragon’s tail for a Chinese New Year dance,” Grace recalls. “The teacher said, ‘this tail is really heavy, we need a boy to carry it.’” But Grace volunteered. “The teacher said, ‘I need to see who can lift it above their heads.’ When the boys tried, they all complained about it being heavy. I went to lift it and it felt like maybe about 15 to 20 pounds. It was easy! I showed the instructor that just because I’m a girl it doesn’t mean that I’m not strong. Don’t judge a book by its cover!” explained Grace. On the Monday after the meet, Grace wore the gold medal she had earned to school. Her teachers were thrilled and the vice principal announced her accomplishment on the PA system. “Everyone congratulated me. My math teacher told me he was shocked that someone so tiny could be so strong!” Her mother, Wendy, also did well at the meet, setting three state records for her age and 120-pound weight class, with a 110- pound bench press, a 215-pound squat, and a 265-pound deadlift. Chris, who trained both of them, says he could not be more proud, especially of the way Amber stuck to her program, “There were days she didn’t want to lift. That’s only human nature. But she came through. Now that she’s put in the work and accomplished her huge goal, we hope the confidence transitions to other things. Understanding that seven months of hard work pays off is an incredible lesson.” The Grace’s gym, Mission Fitness Center, trains clients of all shapes and sizes, with a wide variety of fitness goals.
