MONROVIA SCHOOLS PREPARING STUDENTS FOR LIFE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL

Old Town Report I have to begin this column remembering those we lost 15 years ago on 9/11 by sharing that the San Gabriel Valley Musical Artists have organized a Patriot Day Concert to be performed on Sunday, Sept. 11, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church at Foothill and Myrtle, just SEE PAGE 12

(This is the second of a two-part series regarding specialized programs in the Monrovia Unified School District. Last week, the focus was on the elementary schools. This week, we will examine the middle schools and Monrovia High School.)
BY SUSAN MOTANDER The specialized programs in the Monrovia Unified School District have one major goal in mind according to the Superintendent, Dr. Katherine Thorossian: preparing students for the future. In the elementary schools, this means ensuring students have the
basic skills necessary to facilitate learning. In the middle schools and at the high school there are even more innovative programs designed to help students ready themselves for their own futures. The robotics at both Santa Fe and Clifton Middle School has become very popular with many students. In fact, the Clifton
Middle School team applied for and was the only Southern California team accepted to an international competition in Shanghai last school year. “They came out 14th out of the 49 teams that competed,” Principal Jennifer Gates bragged recently. “Most of the teams competing were high school teams, not middle school. We even
led at one point in the competition,” she added. Clifton was also fortunate in that it won the “Fab School Lab” competition sponsored by Northrop Grumman that resulted in a $100,000 grant for a new lab at the school. Gates said that Clifton is currently finalizing plans for the new lab construction. She said that after visiting schools
throughout Southern California over the summer, the planning committee decided to focus the use of the money on curriculum and supplies rather than the facility. “We are giving our lab a facelift rather than a complete renovation,” she said. “We felt it was important SEE PAGE 13

Foothill Gold Line Wins Four Industry Awards The Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority has recently been awarded with four distinguished industry awards for the nearly $1 billion, 11.5-mile Foothill Gold Line light rail extension from Pasadena to Azusa.
The extension, which was completed and turned over to Los Angeles County Metro in September 2015 and began passenger service in March 2016, required three design-build contracts. Altogether, design and construction in-
cluded six new light rail stations; five parking facilities; a LEED Gold certified, 24-acre Operations Campus; 28 miles of light rail track, including four miles of relocated freight track; two dozen bridges, including the award-winning
iconic Gold Line Bridge; 14 at-grade street crossings; power systems; and much more. The four awards were given by various prestigious construction and engineering industry associations, which recognized

the Construction Authority and the Foothill Gold Line project in the areas of engineering, construction, sustainability, and project management. They include: - Outstanding Rail Project of the Year - American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Metropolitan Los Angeles Branch. - Sustainability Excellence Distinction Award - Western Council of Construction Consumers (WCCC). - Exceptional Project Achievement Award - Western Council of Construction Consumers (WCCC). - Excellence in Dispute
Avoidance & Resolution Award - Dispute Resolution Board Foundation (DRBF). The Foothill Gold Line from Pasadena to Azusa first broke ground in June 2010 and was completed on time and under budget with 2.4 million work hours logged and an excellent safety record. Construction Authority partners for the various segments of the project included Kiewit, Parsons, Skanska, AECOM, Hill International, and Webcor. The project was fully funded by Los Angeles County’s Measure R halfcent sales tax that went into effect in 2008.
One Cent Transportation Sales Tax Increase on November Ballot
On Nov. 8, when the country turns out to vote for the presidency, Los Angeles County voters will also be asked to approve a one cent increase to the sales tax in the county to fund transportation. The proposed tax increase has been designated Measure M. Unlike the current half-
cent transportation tax that is set to expire in 2039, this tax, which would replace that tax, will not expire. In other words, this tax, if approved would put the tax in place forever. For complete information on Measure M and all documents related to the expenditure plan, visit Metro’s website at www.metro.net/theplan.

Santa Anita Family Service Honors Leaders
Next month, on Oct. 6, Santa Anita Family Service (SAFS) will host a very important fund-raising event at the Historic Castle Green in Pasadena. “Leaders Who Make a Difference” will honor two of the giving leaders who have personally dedicated themselves to helping victims of domestic abuse, families in turmoil, seniors who are alone and need care, and veterans who need an understanding partner and a helping hand. Supervisor Michael Antonovich and SAFS Board Member Jay Coleman are two of these dedicated individuals who will be thanked for their long-time service during an evening of music, heavy - and delicious - hors d’oeuvres, and a no-host cocktail bar. The event begins at 6 p.m. and ends at 9 p.m., and also includes a fun silent
auction. Back in 1951 Santa Anita Family Service had a different name: it was called “Monrovia Family Service” and its focus was very local. Today, with the help of many passionate supporters over the last 65 years, Santa Anita Family Service has grown to serve individuals and families throughout the San Gabriel Valley, with programs that now also include veterans and seniors with offices in Monrovia, Pomona, and Covina. As for this special event location, the Historic Castle Green is known as one of the most cherished historic buildings in Pasadena. Originally constructed in 1893, the Hotel Green was the home of the Valley Hunt Club and the Tournament of Roses Association. The hotel was expanded in 1897 to include the “Castle” which later
became the location of many Hollywood films. In 1919 Rudolph Valentino began the castle’s movie days when he kissed Dorothy Gish’s hand in a film entitled “Nobody Home.” The Hollywood tradition has continued since then with such films as “The Sting” and “Sneakers,” as well as many TV shows. In a thank you letter to SAFS, Noelle, a domestic abuse survivor and SAFS client, writes “On my journey to wholeness, I didn’t find the woman I used to be: I found the woman I was created to be.” If you would like to make a difference to some very special people, please join us on Oct. 6 at the Historic Castle Green. Please RSVP by Sept. 26 to (626)359-9358 or purchase tickets online at www.santaanitafamilyservice.org/leaders-whomake-a-difference.
Vector Control Starts Fogging to Control Tiger Mosquitoes
By Susan Motander
Last week, the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control District started fogging to control Asian tiger mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus). The tiny, but aggressive mosquitoes have been increasing in number recently and the district hoped to control these numbers by conducting truck-mounted fogging in El Monte last week. This spraying was done
between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m., to avoid outdoor pedestrians and traffic. This mosquito is a day biter, capable of transmitting several serious viral diseases, including Zika, chikungunya, and dengue. The real problem with this mosquito is that it is capable of breeding in very little water and the eggs can lie dormant for months until hatching when the right conditions occur. To avoid problems with these tiny pests, the Vector Control District suggests
people wear mosquito repellant and protective clothing outside while the mosquitoes are active (remember this type is active during the day). Be sure all windows and doors are properly screened. Remove standing water such as green pools, even in small amounts, such as the saucers under house plants. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the district at (626) 8149466 or visit them online at www.SGVmosquito.org.

Reader Responds to ‘Martin Clunes (aka Doc Martin) Proves That Laughter … ’ (1/14/16 Issue) In reply to Peggy Allen: I am a fan of “Doc Martin.” I look forward to an episode which airs only once per week here in Channel Islands, Calif., but lately, there are only re-runs. I’m hoping the new season will not be the last. There are so few shows I truly enjoy anymore. Keep “Doc Martin” alive! - Palma Menno-Rice Via Pasadena Independent
Reader Responds to ‘Board of Education Takes No Action … ’ (9/1/16 Issue)
Madison has always struggled ... the question is why is PUSD now pouring all these resources and when PUSD moves principals that have no complaints and no prob-
lems, last year five principals were moved, this year four, PUSD has been receiving complaints from parents and teacher back when he was at Roosevelt. The cheating he did in test scores is more than obvious. The question is, “Why is the PUSD protecting this principal so much and pouring resources to make him look good?” If someone had the money to invest in a private investigation I am pretty sure a big story would be revealed that would involve more than just a bad principal in a school - Julieta Via Pasadena Independent

In my official capacity as president of Dorothy Denne’s fan club, I open each weekly meeting with a member reading his or her favorite Dorothy’s Place column. We then follow that ceremony telling old peo-
ple jokes such as, “You know you’re old when you look as old as your parents.” We ended our last meeting with a unanimous opinion that if it were up to Dorothy, she’d surely add grumpiness to the list of cardinal sins. - David Quintero MONROVIA
Letter to the Editor: The New Arcadia
Sixty years ago my wife and I purchased our home in Arcadia. We could not have made a better choice. Soon we knew everyone on the street and their children. Those were the halcyon days of Arcadia. It was as close to utopia as a suburban community could be. We were proud of our city. We gave education a high priority and poured a lot of our money into the schools. We wanted them to be the very best – and they were, and still are. But, alas, we were in fact sowing the seeds of our eventual undoing. In college I once participated in a speech contest. I had to talk for five
minutes on a surprise subject. When I got up to speak I drew my subject out of a glass bowl. The topic was “The Perils of Intolerance.” I took second place behind a speaker whose subject was “Superstitions.” It really was not fair. At 21 I had no idea what intolerance was, nor do I remember what I said. But lately I have begun to see intolerance in many of my friends. For lack of a better word, I call them, and myself, “Old Arcadians.” Change came to Arcadia like the fog in San Francisco - “On Little Cats Paws.” A decade or so ago we did not see it coming. And suddenly we Old Arcadians are a minority. And someone who is a member of a minority can either embrace the change or become prejudiced. Those who cannot deal with the change tend to focus their energies in opposing the outward signs. Such things as two-story homes (I loved our ranch-style home and I look askance at the enormous new ones). But our old Arcadia is like a cruise ship that is sinking in the ocean - only the bow
is still above water. Change has already happened. It is irreversible. The Old Arcadia, that I loved, is no longer. I want to say, “The King is Dead, God Save the King.” We must accept the change and get about our lives. The “New Arcadians” are a delightful people. I have made many new friends among them. We could not have asked for a better group of people to become our neighbors. One of them is Sho Tay, a member of our city council. I have to tell you that Sho is one of the most honorable men I have ever met. He is well educated and a keen business man. He can read and understand financial statements as well as any other member of the council. Do not underestimate him. If he appears “less polished” than our mayor when sitting at the council table, remember that he comes from a totally different background and becoming a council person is a steep learning curve. How would I look sitting on a city council in Taiwan. We are indeed fortunate to have him in that capacity. Of course, Sho represents the outlook of the New Arcadians. That is a valuable asset to the council. After all, the council represents
all of us, including the majority. What a concept that is. To my friends, The Old Arcadians, the bow of the ship is sinking fast. For you own sake, do not hold on. - Jim Helms, Former Mayor of Arcadia

Business Profile: La Marca Cigars By Gus Herrera
K
en Wu and Jim Dexter have made it their mission to educate the public on the many nuances and intricacies of cigars. Their establishment, La Marca Cigars, was created to be a local “cigar pub” for the aficionados, while at the same time serving as a welcoming source of knowledge for those looking to get into the hobby. Wu and Dexter opened the business upon realizing that there was an opportunity to fill what they saw as a void in the cigar market, “We found that there was a niche to be filled with boutique cigars … we couldn’t find any locally, so we thought it would be a good idea to open up a shop/lounge based upon premium, smaller brands.” The name La Marca, which translates from Spanish to “the brand” or “the mark,” really empha-
sizes where the substance of the business lies: within its wide selection of premium, boutique cigar brands. “We try to source and find hidden gems - stuff that’s harder to find. We’re more of a destination where people are looking to find rare, smaller-batch cigars that they won’t find at other cigar shops and lounges,” says Wu. The co-founders focus on high-quality products and all cigars sold in La Marca are hand-rolled “long-fillers,” which utilize the full tobacco leaf. The meticulous curating process takes them all across the country and cigars are manufactured from as far as Nicaragua, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic. In addition to premium quality, Wu reveals another important trait which the products he and Dexter bring into La Marca must possess … a story: “I like to share the stories behind these cigars. That’s

why we select a lot of these boutique brands, because we know the owners personally and there’s a story behind the businesses. It’s about the romance of the story. When you can associate yourself with a person, it becomes more than just an item … you have more of a connection to the cigar and that makes it a better experience.” The store carries a dozens of these unique brands and they range in price from very affordable, to more high-end. With that said, La Marca’s boutique inventory allows them to provide customers a hefty selection of reasonably-priced products, without sacrificing quality. “We like to keep a medium sweet-spot within the $8 to $13 range. We are consumers ourselves, so we understand what it is to spend money on what is a luxury item,” says Wu. In addition to cigars, La Marca carries cigar accessories, humidors, cut-

ters, lighters, ashtrays, humidifiers, and more. La Marca has also has a comfortable lounge area, where patrons can enjoy music, live sports, quality cigars, and most importantly, good company. Wu and Dexter’s number one priority is educating their customers and providing the best environment possible to relax and decompress. By sticking to these principles, La Marca has cultivated its very own roster of regulars, “There’s a hand-full of guys that are here, if not daily, then two to three time a week. They’re locals or live close enough where it’s a nice little drive, but they enjoy hanging out in our atmosphere and they end up becoming more like friends and family,” says Wu. La Marca Cigars is located at 530 S. Myrtle St. in the heart of Old Town Monrovia. For more information, call (626) 7754155 or visit www.LaMarcaCigars.com.
Jins Opens in Westfield Mall EXPERIENCED MACHINIST NEEDED!
By Terry Miller A unique concept in eyewear fashions has hit the San Gabriel Valley. Opening last week to rave reviews, Jins offers Japanese-designed frames in 30 minutes and, most importantly, one price covers the whole deal … The ultra-modern store is located on the second floor of Westfield Santa Anita Shopping Mall and boasts hundreds of unique frames from which to choose. Councilman Sho Tay was on hand for the grand opening celebration last Thursday evening and said he was delighted to see such a concept come to Arcadia. If you don’t have a current prescription for your glasses, they offer an in-house eye exam for $55, approximately one-third of the traditional price of similar examinations and prescriptions. Jins started with a big vision: Hitoshi Tanaka, founder, was passionate about making eyewear from the beginning, which is why he started the business, despite having “impeccable eyesight.”
cunico, founded in 1951, is the leading manufacturer of specialty fittings (nuclear/non-nuclear), piping systems and valves for the U.S. Navy. cunico has unique capabilities, focused on submarine and aircraft carriers. We are located in a new, state-of-the-art, manufacturing facility in Long Beach, California. Requirements

Jins is about making eyewear for everyone, whether that means making glasses easier and more fun, more innovative, or more affordable. Here’s the concept: they start at only $60, complete with lenses and frame. All their lenses are aspheric, impact-resistant, and light-weight. They’re 1.59 and 1.67 index, which means you can have thin lenses, regardless of your prescription. The lenses themselves are made by some of the leading manufacturers in the
world who also provide lenses for the photo industry, like the HOYA Group. Every pair is made using superior materials. All metal frame parts are sourced exclusively from Japan and everything from the nose-pads to the temple ends are meticulously checked for quality. Jins is located at 400 S. Baldwin Ave. #231, near Nordstrom, across from Din Tai Fung. For more information, call (626) 566-3504 or visit www.jins.com/us.

Crestview Prep in La Canada Offers Individualized Teaching By May S. Ruiz There is a small, quiet, and picturesque community nestled between the San Gabriel Mountains and the Angeles National Forest that not too many people outside of Southern California are familiar with. It’s La CanadaFlintridge (otherwise known as La Canada), which is home to the world-renowned Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Descanso Gardens. For the past 30 years, Crestview Preparatory School (Crestview Prep or Crestview), a kindergarten to sixth grade co-ed school, has also called La Canada home. With a total student population of 160, it is dwarfed by three other educational institutions (Flintridge Prep, a seventh to 12th grade school; La Canada High; and St. Francis High School) on this stretch of Foothill Boulevard. Crestview Prep is the only elementary school in this area and will remain so by design. Baudelia Chavez Taylor, who is in her third year as headmaster, declares, “We only have 5- to 12-yearolds on campus. And while it would be financially lucrative to offer a middle school
program, we have no aspirations to do so. Our kindergarteners, as well as our sixth graders will be read to in the library. We believe strongly that children should be children. This is a foundational time for them and we want to provide a space for their innocence.” Established by in 1986 by Vicki Dempsey and Marge Hanna, with Dempsey acting as chief financial officer and Hanna serving as head of school until her retirement in 2007, Crestview’s mission is to provide academic excellence while encouraging students to discover their unique talents as they face challenges with confidence. Today Crestview exhibits the same beliefs and values its founders imbued the school. As Taylor relates: “We celebrated our 30th anniversary this past school year. It was interesting to reconnect with folks who have a history with the school and find that people’s ideals of 30 years ago still attend to the present. Then, as now, it was the sense of community that was most essential and it was the first thing everyone wanted to talk about. “They reminisced about

the traditions – tried and true events on campus like the walkathon, where people get up early and convene to have a great time – that parents and students enjoy to this day. They spoke about the importance of balancing the academic, social, and emotional development of the child. Hearing that sentiment was validating for me. It was yet another reason that this feels such a good fit.” Taylor says, “We’d love parents to understand that we focus on the academic, emotional, and social needs of the child at all times. Parents will see that some

triculate to highly selective schools like Chandler, Flintridge Prep, Polytechnic, Westridge School for Girls, Campbell Hall, HarvardWestlake, and Marlborough. As Taylor commences on her third year as head of Crestview, she ruminates, “In the past 10 years the role of a headmaster shifted from being programmatic to fundraising. However, what has fallen short is the attention to the program, the families, and students themselves. I think it’s time to put our priority back on the families. Where before meeting with a headmaster would have been a tall feat, now it’s going to be a regular part of everyday activity.” That’s the one thing that truly sets Crestview Prep apart from all the excellent schools in the area. When parents come into the office to get answers to even the simplest of questions, like what forms they need to fill in, they ask the head of school. For Crestview parents, Baudelia Chavez Taylor is always their first resource. And she embodies the kind of high-touch headship all caring school administrators ought to model.

across the street from our Old Town boundaries. The full orchestra will feature American-themed music. Everyone is welcome (a $7 donation at the door is suggested). Music is one sweet healer … Now, to backtrack to this Saturday: Old Town will once again host the Classic Car Show put on by Street Rods Forever. This year the Monrovia Police Department will be making sure there are no cars leaving early, driving out during the event, and there will also be car show staff on site with clearly marked shirts if you have any questions or just want to tell them what a great job they are doing! It should be a great day in Old Town, especially because the car show is combined this year with the Monrovia Chamber’s Zip Code Day celebration in Library Park. Check out www.Monroviacc.com for more information. Oh, and also Friends of the Monrovia Public Library will have their big book sale (which I wait for every year)! Also on Saturday, Sept. 10, the 400 block “Art in Public Places” bronze sculpture (aptly named “Action”) will be dedicated - or chris-
tened, or whatever is done to officially recognize the value of an object of art. I realize the sculpture is billed as “in front of the Krikorian Theater,” but honestly, it looks like it's in front of my store and I couldn't be more thrilled! Thank you Daniel Stern … we love you! Also in the 400 block there are more really cool things happening, one of which is the renaming of The Sow House. I will no longer have to try to explain that “Sow” refers to farming (the plant kind, not the pig kind). “Craft Hill” will be the new name and though I’m not sure when the change will come, I hear it’s soon. And, for another cool happening, if you dance or if you know a dancer, there is a beautiful shop on the west side of Myrtle at 403 called “Enchanted Dancewear” which you will love. Kristin Smith, the owner, is the daughter of one of Old Town’s property managers, Peter Fertig, so the historic Neville Building, which Peter’s firm manages, was a natural choice for her. The shop was previously located near Fasanarock in the 100 block of South Myrtle. Kristin’s twin sister, Kelly, is working with her, and I

confess, I still have some trouble telling them apart! The store is beautifully laid out and a treat to visit – and, they also sell online. Up a bit further on Myrtle, next to where the Gas Co. used to be, on the west side, is a brand new concept to Old Town. The name of the business is Cryo Spa (which may not be the absolute correct spelling, but it’s close) and according to their new business license they specialize in treatments that involve freezing temperatures, rather than heat, to relieve pain, etc. I think they are still in the process of doing some renovations inside before they open, so I haven’t paid them a visit yet. More happy news: The Saltner’s outside seating has been approved by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, so time to wine on East Colorado while your friends watch you in envy! And, of course, wine makes me think of the upcoming holidays, so I want to assure everyone that Santa is busy contacting all the usual toy companies (just for the toys he can’t make himself … ), so the Santa Breakfasts will come to Old Town once again this year!
This Saturday the City of Monrovia is celebrating the city’s lastest ‘public art’ project in front of the Krikorian Theatre at 10 a.m. Saturday. Refreshments will be served and you’ll have an opportunity to meet the artist Daniel Stern behind the camera (so to speak). Continued from page 1
vent the destruction of historic homes. Last month, the council approved changes to the city’s building code. This week they approved changes regarding the issuance of demolition permits. The changes will result in the review of more homes for historic status. Previously only homes built before 1940 were subject to additional scrutiny, now the review extends to all homes 50 years or older, in essence a rolling trigger date. This means that rather than approximately 26 percent of the homes in town subject to review, at this time; it is closer to 66 percent. The code revisions de-

Preservation tail the exact steps homeowners must go through to make significant changes to their properties. This brought about questions, not just from the public, but also from council members. Resident Gayle Montgomery asked how residents would know about these new rules. This prompted Mayor Tom Adams to paraphrase a comment by Council Member Alex Blackburn made in an earlier discussion of the zoning issue. At that time Blackburn said he felt everyone was obligated to know the zoning of his or her home, but that no one did. Adams pointed out that no one could force new residents to educate themselves
about the building codes. There was also a long discussion of what should be exempt from the rules regarding demolition. Ultimately, despite concerns voiced by council member Gloria Crudgington regarding the potential destruction of historic outbuildings, the council voted to approve the proposed changes. Director of Community Development, Craig Jimenez, explained that potential concerns about the destruction of historic structures, would be caught in the review process of new construction. Crudgington ultimately voted for the changes saying “I would not do this if I did not have faith in this staff.”

for the money to go into the program, not four walls and a floor: we have that. When we visited other schools we looked at the programs and are planning to spend the bulk of the money on developing program rather than place.” With the advent of the coding program at Plymouth and Mayflower, Gates said that the middle schools would develop ways to continue that program. “We already take part in International Coding Day, but we want to develop that into an actual elective class for the students,” she said. Gate praised Paul Flores, the teacher who not only spearheaded the campaign to bring the Northrop Grumman grant to the school, but also sponsors the robotics team. The innovative programs at the middle schools are just a step along the way to even more programs at Monrovia High School. After the new Science and Math Building was crated with money approved by a local bond measure, the school developed a Math and Science Academy (MASA). This program has won awards for its approach to involving more students, especially young women, in
MHS math and science. Principal Kirk McGinnis said participation in the Academy is not automatic; it requires commitment. McGinnis explained that in order to take math and science classes above those required for graduation, a student must become involved in leadership and community service activities. Then there is the Robotics Program. This year there are six robotics teams at the high school. All are participants in the FIRST Tech Challenge. Monrovia High School has become very involved with the FIRST program hosting three competitions each year. The program partners students with advisors from both within the school and the community in general. The robotics program is only one way the business community has become involved with the schools. Volunteers work with the students in computer and web design programs. One community member even donated a system to allow students to track the space station live. If this were not enough, Monrovia High School is one of the few high schools
in Southern California with its own observatory (it is on the roof of the old Science Building). In recent years, several parent and community volunteers have donated time and expertise to make this a working facility again. But math and science are not the only special programs available at MHS. There is also the Renaissance Program. It works to give students the “soft skills” that go with academics, such as perseverance and integrity. The program focuses on helping students to recognize and celebrate the achievements of their peers. Then there is the drama program. Patrick Garcia, the district’s Director of Performing Arts said that here again the schools have reached out to the community to form partnerships. He pointed to the Black History Month programs including demonstrations by the Buffalo Soldiers that the Monrovia Duarte Black Alumni Association had brought to the high school and middle schools. In addition that group has sponsored elementary art festivals and movie nights at the middle schools. This is only one ex-
ample of the community bringing the arts to the schools. The Pasadena theater company, A Noise Within, is working with the high school drama class. They have been granted permission to use the group’s stage for their own production of King Lear this spring (at the same time the professional company is also staging the same production). Garcia said that they are partnering with others as well including the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts, the Huntington Library and Gardens as well as the Monrovia Schools Foundation and the school district’s own professional production programs. This last group even brought Susan Egan, who played Beauty in Beauty and the Beast on Broadway, to the high school for a benefit performance and to teach a master class to students. Even with all these programs, it is only the beginning of the opportunities available to students. Ford more information on these or any of the programs at Monrovia Schools, contact Jennifer Maljian, Instructional Coach with the Monrovia Unified School District, at (626) 471-2039.

A Slow and Steady Growth in Hispanic College Enrollment By Mary Mcnulty
H
ispanics are now enrolling in college at a higher percentage rate than Caucasians. In 2012, 49 percent of Hispanics attended a college or university, which is a 240
percent increase since 1996. It is not surprising, with such a large Latino population - 39 percent of the state - many of the selected colleges and universities are within California. The increase in the Hispanic college population (ages
18 to 24) has been slow and steady. The number of students, when speaking in terms of percentage, has increased from 12 percent in 2008, to 19 percent in 2015. From 2001 to 2011 the number of Hispanics with a bachelor’s degree increased from 11.1 percent, to
14.1 percent - a tremendous gain, no doubt. In researching the colleges with the highest Hispanic population, a majority are found in California. Out of the top 10, seven were located in California in regions with high Hispanic populations. The number one ranked college for Hispanics, which was surprising, was the University of California, Santa Cruz. Other California schools in the top 10 include: - San Diego State University. - University of California, Riverside. - Whittier College. - Cal Poly Pomona. - University of La Verne. - California State University, Long Beach. Other schools on the list include: St. Edward’s, a Catholic university in Texas; University of Houston; and Florida International University. When looking at colleges in the local area with the highest percentage of Hispanic enrollment it is no surprise that Cal State LA leads the way. Approximately 43 percent of the student population, or 8,753, identifies themselves as Hispanic. While inroads have definitely been made, the numbers still are not high enough

to truly support the California economy. With Hispanics continuing to make up a large portion the state’s population, the 11.1 percent with a college degree will be unable to sustain the California economy. “Very soon half of the graduating class [in California] will be of Hispanic origin. If they are only getting degrees at a rate of 11 percent, we are heading in the wrong direction. It is disastrous for the community and disastrous for the state,” according to Patricia Gandara, research professor/co-director of The Civil Rights Project at UCLA and commissioner with the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics. The most prestigious of
the California educational systems, the University of California (UC), continues to increase the number of Hispanics accepted. In 2014-2015 the UC freshman Hispanic population increased from 27.6 percent to 28.8 percent, bringing total enrollees to 61,120, an increase of about 1,000 students. The trend is definitely heading in a positive direction. The challenge faced is insuring that the freshman acceptance rate continues to increase, but the graduation rate does as well. With the Hispanic population becoming the largest ethnic group in California. The college enrollment rate in 2012 for Hispanics surpassed whites for the first time.

The Health Perks of Our National Parks Most Americans agree that spending time outdoors can enhance their physical and mental health. A recent online survey, conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of Humana among over 2,000 US adults, reveals that Americans believe spending time outdoors can reduce stress (75 percent), benefit mental well-being (74 percent) and lead to living a longer, healthier life (63 percent). The benefits of spending time in nature include elevated mood and happiness, as well as improved cardiovascular health, but work and other obligations often get in the way. In fact, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, Americans will spend an
average almost 93 percent of their lives in an indoor space. Humana’s partnership with the National Park’s Centennial celebration encourages everyone to enjoy America’s national parks as a resource to help stay healthy and active, and increase their Nature Engagement Levels, or N.E.L.s. N.E.Ls are a way to assess how much time you spend outside. A fun National Geographic Quiz, sponsored by Humana, shows participants their level of engagement with nature: Are you overflowing with flowing streams or running low on lowlands? Try these ideas to raise your N.E.L.s: Start with a Sunrise:
Enjoy the health benefits of the outdoors at work by placing a plant on your desk or setting a nature view as your desktop background. - Courtesy photo
Watching the sunrise can be a beautiful, moving, and healthy way to start your day; benefits include balanced circadian rhythms,
improved mood, and increased Vitamin D levels. Bring Nature to Work: Enjoy the health benefits of the outdoors at work by
placing a plant on your desk or setting a nature view as your desktop background. Host outdoor meetings, or “walk and talks,” around your building, and boost colleagues’ moods and focus, too. Engage Your Mind: Get your mental exercise by visiting museums or monuments within the National Park System. Sites such as the Thomas Edison National Historical Park offer guided tours and interactive experiences to entertain and educate visitors. Eat Outdoors: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Americans spend an average of 8 hours and 13 minutes a week preparing and eating food. Move your meals outside to un-
plug and enjoy your food in a new environment. Try growing some of your own food. Getting your hands in dirt connects you to nature. If space is tight, explore a community garden. Take a Hike: Avid hikers report high levels of happiness, fulfillment, and connection with the world around them, and studies have shown that the color green increases motivation to engage in rigorous activity. So, if being outside on a spring day inspires you to hike, find a trail in a nearby state or national park! Find more ways to get healthy at www.StartWithHealthy.com, and visitwww.

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.

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.

Transplants? By Dorothy Denne

Q:
Dear Emmy: Would You Write a Column About Why Women Need LongTerm Care Insurance? I’d Like My Mother to Read That.
A:
Gladly. Longterm care insurance is an incredibly important part of a person’s overall retirement plan – especially for women. Females, on average, live longer, have higher rates of disability and have fewer financial resources than men. Women are more likely than men to run out money in later life.* Lucky us. Women are commonly the primary caregiver for their spouse. Yet, women who need care themselves are less likely to have a family caregiver. About 70 percent of women over the age of 75 are widowed or otherwise unmarried. Nearly half over 75 live alone. A third of long-term care insurance claims begin between ages 70 and 79 and over half begin after 80. Couple this with the fact that two-thirds of Americans over 85 are women. With a longer life expectancy and a greater likelihood of needing long-term care, elderly women often confront their health needs without the help of their spouse or other family members.
Compared to men, women spend twice as many years in a disabled state at the end of their lives. So, most insurance companies charge women more than men for equal coverage. It’s essential that a comprehensive health plan is put in place well before the need arises – and this doesn’t apply just to women. There are basically four ways to pay for longterm care: out of your own pocket, with long-term care insurance, using Medicaid or Medicare. Medicare’s benefits are limited. For those that have too much to qualify for Medicaid, but not enough to pay out of pocket, which is the majority of women - and men - insurance is a vital bridge. Start by comparing the benefits and costs of different policies. Ask these questions: Does the policy protect against inflation? Does it provide for both in-home and nursing home care? Is the policy’s renewal guaranteed and how long is the maximum benefit period? Search for the best deal,
but also be realistic. Your mom must choose a policy she can afford. Ensure that the policy’s premium fits comfortably within her budget. If you plan to buy a policy, do so sooner rather than later. Not only can premiums grow exorbitant if one waits until their late 60s or 70s, coverage might be denied altogether. Married people often qualify for a couple’s discount. Look into this. Employed people should speak to their human resources department to see if their employer can access a discounted rate. Long-term care is truly a woman's issue. Despite that, long-term care is something few women adequately plan for. Don’t make that mistake. Investment decisions should be based on an individual’s goals, time horizon & tolerance risk.

Assemblymember Chris Holden Elected to Chair the California Legislative Black Caucus Assemblymember Chris Holden (AD–41) has been elected by his colleagues to chair the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC). Lawmakers joining Assemblymember Holden to the newly elected leadership team include Assemblymembers Shirley Webber
(AD–78), vice chair; Sebastian Ridley-Thomas (AD– 54), secretary; and Kevin McCarty (AD–7), treasurer. “I’m extremely proud to serve as chair for the Black Caucus,” said Assemblymember Chris Holden. “Together with my colleagues, I look forward to continuing
our efforts to advance equality, justice, and opportunity for all Californians.” This past year, the CLBC, held multiple “Black Minds Matter” informational briefings throughout the state with the Education Trust–West Organization to address California’s nearly
one million Black youth, including one hosted by Assemblymember Holden in Pasadena. The briefings brought elected leaders, educators, stakeholders, and community leaders together in order to better implement policies that close the opportunity
and achievement gap for California’s Black Youth. The CLBC takes policy positions on numerous bills, advances a two-part policy agenda – an education and black enterprise initiative, and provides scholarships and leadership opportunities for California’s Black
youth. Established in 1967, the mission of the CLBC is to provide full inclusion of California’s African American residents in every aspect of California life – from education, employment, housing, health, commerce, and government services.
Treasurer Chiang Issues $2.65 Billion in Bonds
Borrowing Pays for New Public Works, Saves Taxpayer Money Because of Lower Interest Costs State Treasurer John Chiang recently announced that he sold $2.65 billion of California general obligation bonds. The bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the state. Proceeds from the sale of about a third of the bonds, worth $609.18 million, will pay for new construction projects for highway and transportation, water quality and flood control, and housing.
Another $2.04 billion will be used to refinance older debt, which has higher interest costs. The refunding will save the state’s general fund and California taxpayers $628.5 million ($494.5 million in present value savings) over the remaining life of the bonds. “This is a great deal for our state,” said Chiang. “Every dollar we save in interest charges is available for education, health
services, environmental protection, and other programs that Californians value.” The Golden State has saved a total of $2.1 billion in reduced borrowing costs for general obligation bonds since Chiang became treasurer in January 2015. When factoring in other state agency bond sales, including the University of California and the Department of Water Resources, the savings top $4.2 billion.
The sale was the third general obligation bond issuance by the state treasurer’s office this year. However, it is the first bond issuance since the state’s bond rating was boosted by Fitch Ratings to the “highgrade” category. “Both the ratings upgrade and the successful bond sale underscore that investors are bullish on California,” said Chiang. “Our economy is stable, strong and growing.”

ITT Education to Close All Campus Operations; 8,000 Lay Offs ITT Education Services recently announced plans to close all of its 130 Technical Institutes in the country. The announcement comes about two weeks after the US Department of Education said it would ban the company from enrolling students who use federal aid and would impose more stringent financial oversight. "It is with profound regret that we must report that ITT Educational Services Inc. will discontinue academic operations at all of its ITT Technical Institutes permanently after approximately 50 years of continuous service. With what we believe is a complete disregard by the US Department of Education for due process to the company, hundreds of thousands of current students and alumni and more than 8,000 employees will be negatively affected. “The actions of and sanctions from the US Department of Education have forced us to cease operations of the ITT Technical
Institutes and we will not be offering our September quarter. We reached this decision only after having exhausted the exploration of alternatives, including transfer of the schools to a nonprofit or public institution. The company has eliminated the positions of the overwhelming majority of our more than 8,000 employees. Our focus and priority with our remaining staff is on helping the tens of thousands of unexpectedly displaced students with their records and future educational options. “This action of our federal regulator to increase our surety requirement to 40 percent of our Title IV federal funding and place our schools under ‘Heightened Cash Monitoring Level 2,’ forced us to conclude that we can no longer continue to operate our ITT Tech campuses and provide our students with the quality education they expect and deserve. “For more than half
a century, ITT Tech has helped hundreds of thousands of non-traditional and underserved students improve their lives through career-focused technical education. Thousands of employers have relied on our institutions for skilled workers in high-demand fields. We have been a mainstay in more than 130 communities that we served nationwide, as well as an engine of economic activity and a positive innovator in the higher-education sector. ITT blamed the company’s closure on the education department’s most recent sanctions in a news release Tuesday. The company, which operates Southern California campuses in Oxnard, Corona, San Bernardino, Sylmar, Torrance, Orange, and San Dimas, will not offer a September quarter, according to the statement. The remaining staff will focus on helping current students find alternatives.

Temple Station Sheriff’s Deputies Go Above and Beyond By Terry Miller
In the wake of the negative publicity hurled at law enforcement in recent months, I challenge anyone to question the goodwill and downright benevolence of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD), particularly, a couple of deputies from Temple Station. On a blistering hot August afternoon, this reporter made a laughable error in his driving skills, hitting a curb and blowing out a tire near a local hospital. Not funny, really. Of course, I had the spare and the jack … but alas the thing that helps raise the jack and the tools to get the lugs off the wheel were not anywhere to be seen. That’s my good old beloved Honda Civic … where everything fits in the trunk. With the seemingly gallons of sweat dripping down my back, my frustration level poured respectively, especially when I realized I had left the cell phone in the office, prior to this little, albeit unexpectedly adventurous outing. Landing in a precarious spot (actually a bus stop to the east of the hospital) I ventured forth looking for help or a telephone - public phones apparently are all in the Smithsonian Institute. I managed to talk to the guard at the hospital and he let me use his phone. I called a colleague at the office and she sprang into immediate action to help. At the same time, an LASD patrol car was in the neighborhood and pulled over to see if I needed assistance. Talk about living up to their motto … “A Tradition of Service”… and then some! The deputies, Coordinator Bill Harrington and his partner Reserve Deputy Rudy Fierro, seeing my level of frustration and soaking wet shirt, took matters into their own hands and after a frustrating 10 or 15 minutes or so trying to find the right tools, Harrington managed to get the car jacked-up, the wheel off, and replace with the temporary tire so I could at least move on. Harrington, at this point was sweating a great deal also
and I offered him a clean piece of clothing to wipe his brow. Upon putting the donut on the car and lowering the jack, we noticed the air was way too low. Would I make it safely to the gas station for air? The deputies advised my colleague (who, by the way, provided us all with much needed water) to follow me to the gas station to ensure I was safe. She did and the deputies went on to another call … all in the line of duty. The LASD is truly made up of dedicated professionals who really are here to help us. They should never be viewed as adversaries, ever. In my years as a photojournalist I’ve had nothing but respect for LASD and all area local police departments. It’s a stressful and demanding job at times for these deputies and police officers. But I think if we just once in a while show our appreciation, no matter how small … it would be most welcome. I, for one, am going to attend the Temple Station Open House on Sept. 10 to tell the guys how much I appreciate them! Hope you can too. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is the largest sheriff's department in the United States and provides general-service law enforcement to unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County, serving as the equivalent of the county police for unincorporated areas of the county, as well as incorporated cities within the county who have contracted with the agency for law-enforcement services (known as "contract cities"). Of the county's 88 municipalities, 42 contract with the Sheriff's Department to provide local police protection. The Sheriff's Department also holds primary jurisdiction over facilities operated by Los Angeles County, such as local parks, marinas, and government buildings; provides bailiff service for the Superior Court of Los Angeles County; operates the county jail system; and provides services, such as crime laboratories, homicide investigations, and academy training to smaller law enforcement agencies within the county.

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.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the
mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sa le date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-14-651379-HL . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return o f the monies paid to the Trustee.

The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

La Salle Shuts Out Monrovia 37-0 By Christian Romo If these were the Lancers at their sloppiest, the Angelus League may have an unexpected contender. Behind a standout performance from senior running back Amon Milliner (#5), the La Salle Lancers (2-0) shut out the Monrovia Wildcats (0-2) 37-0, Friday night at Kohorst Field in Pasadena. Milliner rushed for 126 yards on 18 carries, scoring two touchdowns, and just missing a third, early in the first quarter. The Lancers also got a big game from their special teams, which forced two turnovers on punt opportunities (both leading to points on a safety and sophomore Treynell Stewart’s (#11) fumble recovery in the endzone), and blocked a punt in the third quarter to set up another scoring drive. La Salle’s margin of victory could have been bigger if it had not been for 10 personal fouls called on the Lancers. Two Milliner rushing touchdowns were called back due to illegal blocking penalties, though Milliner would later recover one on a third quarter drive, and
the officials more frequently warned the Lancer’s sideline than the Wildcat’s. Unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and undisciplined play drew the ire of La Salle Coach Russell Gordon, who at one point chastised a player penalized for not wearing kneepads. When asked how he was going to address his team’s personal fouls, Gordon responded: “Monday. It’s Labor Day and we’ll still be practicing.” The personal fouls and erased scores, though frustrating, didn’t seem to faze Milliner. “I just go rest on the sidelines, come back, and do it again,” he said. Despite the high number of penalties, the Wildcats couldn’t capitalize on La Salle’s mistakes. Monrovia showed promise in the first quarter mounting a 40-yard drive into Lancer territory, but the La Salle defense snuffed out the Wildcat running attack, forcing one of Monrovia’s many punts. The Wildcats also had trouble stopping La Salle’s run game, which accumulated two rushing touchdowns and would have had another if not for a penalty.
Monrovia also struggled with special teams, giving up two possessions and a safety on punt attempts due to fumbled snaps. When asked about what his team had to work on, Monrovia
- Photo courtesy La Salle Football’s Twitter
coach Jerry Chou smirked and said, “What aren’t we going to work on? We have a lot of things to correct.” A scary moment for Monrovia happened during a botched punt attempt
in the third quarter when senior Malcolm Barnes (#8) suffered a hit to the head, fell, and lied writhing on the field. Trainers attended to him for a few minutes before helping
him to his feet, but a later examination showed that Barnes had suffered a concussion. Paramedics later carted Barnes off the field and drove him to a local hospital, and though the extent of Barnes’s head injury was unknown at the time, a Monrovia trainer called the injury “worse than normal” and said that Barnes “didn’t even know what school he was at” when they examined him on the field. Though little worked offensively for the Wildcats, everything ran smoothly for the Lancers. La Salle senior quarterback Jake Caan (#8) quietly impressed, completing 10 of 14 passes with two touchdowns, one on a 55-yard pass to senior Harrison MacDonald (#15) in the first quarter, and another on an 8-yard pass to senior Sean Davis (#4). “I thought we played extremely well,” said Gordon. If they continue playing this way, a shot at a league title may not be out of the question. The Lancers host Bishop Diego next Friday at 7 p.m. at Kohorst Field. Monrovia will look for their first win next Friday at 7 p.m. at home against rival Arcadia.

I am asked this question a few times a week and I am always very excited to discuss it with patients, Dr. Canzoneri moms, dads and anyone else that will listen. Laser Dentistry has been evolving for about 20 years. I purchased my first dental laser 18 years ago and it changed my practice forever. Here are a few of the advantages to using a laser: - Faster healing time and less trauma to teeth and gums. - Less pain and in many instances, reducing the need for dental injections. - Reduces anxiety in patients who are uncomfortable with the vibration and noise of the drill. - Minimizes bleeding and swelling during soft tissue treatments (including bleeding gums and periodontal disease) - Bacterial infections are minimized because the high-energy laser beam
sterilizes any area being worked on. - But my favorite advantage is that the precision of a laser helps the dentist preserve healthy tooth structure and healthy gum tissue while removing only the diseased tissue and tooth away. A dentist isn’t the only person who can use a dental laser. A highly trained hygienist, who has attained her laser certification in California, can perform soft tissue curettage or periodontal therapy. I have found using a laser in combination with more traditional methods of treating gum disease to be extremely effective. Laser Teeth Whitening has come of age. A special laser called the EpicX can perform a full-mouth, in-office whitening procedure in only 20 minutes (this does not include the time to set-up or take-down). With the laser a patient can see an average 4-6 shades whiter. These are only a few reasons that I love Dental Laser Technology.
