The City of Arcadia has returned the excess property on Hugo Reid Drive and Golden West Avenue the adjacent property owners. The city rebuilt the intersection as part of their Safe Routes To School project. “We realigned some streets in that neighborhood and the result was some extra property,” said City Manager Dominic Lazzaretto at this week’s city SEE PAGE 11

What’s Going On With Real Estate? C.A.R. Releases 2017 California Housing Market Forecast The Arcadia Association of REALTORS® reports that following a dip in home sales in 2016, California’s housing market will post a nominal increase in 2017, as supply shortages and affordability constraints hamper

market activity, according to the “2017 California Housing Market Forecast,” released recently by the California Association of REALTORS®. The C.A.R. forecast sees a modest increase in existing home sales of 1.4 percent next

year to reach 413,000 units, up slightly from the projected 2016 sales figure of 407,300 homes sold. Sales in 2016 also will be virtually flat at 407,300 existing, single-family home sales, compared with the 408,800 pace of homes

sold in 2015. “Next year, California’s housing market will be driven by tight housing supplies and the lowest housing affordability in six years,” said AAR President, Roy Blume. “The market will experience re-

gional differences, with more affordable areas, such as the Inland Empire and Central Valley, outperforming the urban coastal centers, where high home prices and a limited availability of homes on the market will hamper sales. As a

result, the Southern California and Central Valley regions will see moderate sales increases, while the San Francisco Bay Area will experience a decline as home buyers migrate to peripheral cities with more affordable options.”

Code Enforcement Partnership Outreach Week Next Oct. 10 During the past few weeks, the City of Monrovia staff has been working to develop strategies to better engage our Old Town business community in a joint effort to maintain and improve the unique appearance of our downtown core. To that end, beginning the week of Oct. 10, the Neighborhood & Businesses Services Division staff will be working to perform an inventory of the all Old Town businesses with regard to the following matters: - Outdoor displays. - Outdoors signs / banners. - Outdoor dining locations. - Signage. - Construction activity. During this review period, city personnel will reach out to all Old Town businesses to assess their operations for the business related activities noted above. The team will be working with businesses to ensure that all necessary city reviews and permits have been satisfied, and we will certainly be assisting any business owner who may require an update of their records. In an effort to notify everyone about this upcoming work, we have prepared a letter that will be distributed to all Old Town business owners next week to advise everyone about this upcoming review.

Foothill Gold Lines Next Segment Is Completed The Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority board of directors recently approved the advanced conceptual engineering (ACE) draft documents. They are for the 12.3-mile, six-station Foothill Gold Line light rail project from Glendora to Montclair. Engineering for the project began in fall 2014, and took about 35 thousand man hours and $15 million to complete. The approval is a milestone in the agency’s effort to ready the $1.2 billion light rail segment for construction as early as next year. The draft documents will now be distributed to the corridor cities, as well as key agencies, including Los Angeles County Metro, Metro Link, and the San Bernardino Associated Governments, for a 60-day review and comment period. Those comments will be put into a verification set for a final review next spring. Habib F. Balian, CEO of the Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority explains “Last night’s approval is the culmination of more than two years of work, which

the two new light rail tracks. “We have taken lessons learned from the first two segments of the line and integrated them into the design for the Glendora to Montclair segment,” added Balian. “All stations will be able to be accessed from all sides, all will have center platforms for ease of use, we will be building four times the number of parking spaces than the last segment, and we will be installing fare gates at each station – to mention just a few of the improvements.” Residual Measure R funding from the Pasadena to Azusa segment was used for the engineering work for the Glendora to Montclair extension. Construction of the new extension is estimated to cost $1.2 billion with the majority of the funding anticipated to come from Measure M, a half-cent sales tax measure being placed on the Nov. 2016 ballot by Los Angeles County Metro. If approved by voters in November, the Foothill Gold Line will be one of the first projects in the measure to break ground.

Public Survey Open Till Oct. 21 on Arroyo Seco Signs The public has until Oct. 21, 2016 to participate in a survey to share thoughts and provide input about proposed park signs for the Arroyo Seco as part of the City’s Department of Public Works, www. cityofpasadena.net/PublicWorks, goal to create a com-

prehensive master sign plan for the immensely popular recreational area. The plan will cover all three main areas of Pasadena’s beautiful Arroyo Seco, including the Hahamongna Watershed Park (Upper Arroyo); the Central Arroyo Seco, and

the Lower Arroyo Seco. The master sign program will help define consistent logos and graphic styles, sign materials and locations. A variety of signs will be used to help identify facilities and features, highlight directions and trails, be informative or interpretive

and include regulations. The results of the brief survey will be used to help develop the sign component of the overall Arroyo Seco Master Plan. To participate in the survey, please visithttp://bit. ly/arroyosecosurvey. The link will be active through Oct. 21.

GROUND BREAKING FORECLOSURE RULING!

The California Supreme Court ruled on February 18, 2016 that a homeowner has the right to challenge his lender's authority to foreclose based upon void assignments of the loan to third parties. The high court expressly upheld an earlier California Appellate opinion called Glaski v Bank of America. This decision could set aside many foreclosures and/or obtain monetary damages, settle lawsuits with modifications and prevent foreclosures from happening in the first place. This decision will hopefully provide our firm with even more legal leverage to not only set aside many foreclosures and /or obtain money damages, but settle lawsuits with modifications and prevent foreclosures from happening in the first place.

Send your letters to tmiller@beaconmedianews.com - Please be brief.

Letter to Editor: Letter Carrier Voices Serious Concerns I am a letter carrier for a San Gabriel Valley city that your paper serves. I would like to remain anonymous out of fear of retaliation from my management. You did a story a year or so ago about the backlash given to the Arcadia Post Office after its Postmaster decided to move their boxes on Santa Clara Avenue, even though there was absolutely nothing wrong with where they were located originally. Within a week or two after your story was published, the boxes were moved back to its original place, proving that the power of a story can make a difference. The letter follows: Dear Editor: For the third time this year alone, the starting times for your US Postal Letter Carrier has once again been moved 30 minutes later. It has gone from a 7a.m. starting time to a 7:30 a.m. starting time to an 8 a.m. starting time to a now 8:30 a.m. starting time (for most

offices, with more to follow). The Santa Clarita District (which many of the San Gabriel Valley Post Offices are part of) is being run by a District Manager who has done a completely horrific job in getting all mail out of its processing center "ON TIME" and into the many Post Offices throughout the San Gabriel Valley "ON TIME." This manager has decided that the best solution to this problem is to make its couple of thousands of Letter Carriers throughout the San Gabriel Valley come in at a later starting time … again and again and again. So what does this latest new starting time mean to you, the customer? For the business customer, this means another 30 minutes of waiting for those always important pieces of mail that your business heavily relies on first thing in the morning. There was once a time when the Post Office made it mandatory for every business customer to have their mail in their hands by 1pm at the latest. Gone now are those days of "Customer Satisfaction."

As for the residential customer, this also means another 30 minutes of waiting for important pieces of mail. In addition, later starting times this winter will mean that carriers will be spending more time making their deliveries in the dark (something that was extremely rare just a few years ago but has now become an everyday reality every winter). What residential customers need to be aware of is that if a letter carrier becomes a victim of a serious injury due to a slip, trip, or fall while delivering on your property in the dark, that letter carrier will have the right to sue the owner of the property. With deliveries late in the dark, this also means your chances of getting those important checks deposited at your bank on time are now "slim to none". What can you do to fix this "late delivery" problem? Contact your Congresswoman Judy Chu at (626) 304-0110 or Grace Napolitano at (626) 350-0150 (depending on which one serves your city) and demand that they take action towards the District Man-

Remind your Congresswoman that should they choose not to take action, you will take your vote elsewhere the next time your Congresswoman is up for re-election (Grace Napolitano is up for re-election this November). Years ago when residents of the 3311 district complained about their mail arriving as late as 10 p.m., then-Congressman Henry Waxman took care of the problem by going after the Post Office. Within days, Letter Carriers throughout LA County were mandated to start as early as 7 a.m. According to a Postal Union Newsletter that brought this story up, the Post Office blamed the late deliveries on Hurricane Katrina … yes, Hurricane Katrina!!! Please help your Letter Carriers get back to delivering great service ... and at earlier times. Sincerely, Hard working US Postal Letter Carrier

CalBRE# : 01360316

(9/28/16 Issue) I listened to the last city council meeting and learned that a group of two dozen neighbors on Fifth Avenue are opposed to the project. They want to see a new home built but one that is a bit smaller so it fits in better. They appealed to the builder, the owner, the planning commission and the city council, but their concerns fell on deaf ears. A lawsuit seems to be their only recourse to get a response. It could have been avoided and so I hope they are successful. A new large home will provide plenty of profit to the developer, satisfaction to the owner, and peace of mind to the neighbors. It ought to be a win-win situation for all. However, this is Arcadia where the ethos is “I got mine, so screw you.” That ethos is shouted

with an exclamation point in the vitriol and public shaming dished out regularly by Councilman Roger Chandler. What is the purpose of publicly berating citizens who exercise their right to speak in opposition on a civil matter? Mr. Chandler is a bully who cares only for greed and profits and not his legacy of devastation to Arcadia’s neighborhoods. - James Whitehall Via Arcadia Weekly

Lythgoe Family Pantos’ Hold Auditions for Upcoming Play ‘A Cinderella Christmas’ By Kayla Hodge

www.WhereMusicMeetsTheSoul.com 888-645-5006 Dinner Seating/Service Available For All Performances

his past weekend Kristopher and Becky Lythgoe held auditions for the fifth season of their American Panto ‘A Cinderella Christmas.’ Over 100 kids ranging from ages 5-13 years old came out to audition for a role in the play. ‘A Cinderella Christmas’ is a Lythgoe Family Panto Production. A “Panto” is another word for a play, but is its own form of musical theatre where you can break the fourth wall and interact with the audience and sing along to modern day songs - as opposed to traditional songs you would know from watching the old movies or other plays. This Panto will feature comedy, magic, professional dancers, and contemporary music from Taylor Swift to The Bee Gees. The Lythgoe Family is known for their involvement in some of the most popular shows like “American Idol,” and “So You Think You Can Dance,” and is dedicated to bring affordable theatre to

families all over America. I got a chance to sit down with Kris and Becky Lythgoe to ask them how it is producing a family play. Kris Lythgoe stated that “The pros are that you get to introduce theatre to kids, it originated in Britain so bringing it to America is fun, the cons is that it’s a lot of hard work, and just making sure everything is set.” Becky Lythgoe said that the audience can expect “something you can bring multi generations of people to … be able to sing-a-long from your seat, have a lot of heart-felt moments, and experience a lot of really great talent. Expect magic and Family fun.” Choreographer Mario Mosley has been choreographing for more than 20 years. He has worked in the film Dream Girls dancing alongside Beyoncé, Brittney Spears, Ariana Grande and Justin Timberlake. Mosley was the youth supervising choreographer

who handled all the children’s auditions, and is the casting director for all auditions taking place throughout Southern California. Mosley said he loves choreographing kids, it’s so much fun, laughter, talent and raw energy that he loves to be around. Mosley shared that some good things about choreographing kids is that there is not a lot of ego going on, it’s always a good time, kids help each other - whereas when they are older you don’t get a lot of help from peers, on the other hand there’s not much cons because I love it but it is harder to get them under control (laughs), you have to be a little more demanding but overall it is such a joy.” Mosely also stated, “We want the audience to come have a good time, to leave all your problems at home for a couple hours and just come enjoy great talent, and great music.” ‘A Cinderella Christmas’ will have a gala opening night

at The Pasadena Playhouse on Dec. 8, 2016 and will run all the way until Jan. 8, 2017. On opening night, the show will start promptly at 7:30 p.m. The Pasadena Playhouse is located at 39 S. El Molino Ave, Pasadena CA 91101. Performance Schedule is Tuesdays – Fridays at 7:30 p.m.; Saturdays at 12 p.m., 4 p.m., and 7:30 p.m.; and Sundays 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. Special Matinees are Dec. 23, 26, 28, 30, and Jan. 4 and 5 – all starting at 3 p.m. Tickets will range from $25- $125. Golden Tickets are available as an add-on to any child’s ticket for an additional $75 (with a limit of 10 tickets). The Golden ticket is an opportunity for the children to come on stage for a sing-a-long experience during production and a gift bag with special surprises! Tickets are available by calling the Pasadena Playhouse at (626) 356-7529 and online 24 hours at www. PasadenaPlayhouse.org.

council meeting. Lazzaretto said there streets are all over Arcadia built with “special setbacks” where “we thought we would widen it one day and the development patterns made it such that we don’t need to.” He says the updates to the Zoning Code will “do away with some of those special setbacks where street widening is never going to happen.” Back in the forties, when the Village area was subdivided, “all those street right of ways were granted to the city as dedications,” said Philip Wray, City Engineer and Deputy Director of Development Services. “They were, in essence, given to the city for the strict purposes of the streets and utilities and parkways.” A right of way is “an easement for public travel,” an easement being a right to use someone else’s land for a certain purpose, according to the Municipal Research and Services Center (MRSC) website. MRSC is a private non-profit government research organization. In 2015, the city started the Safe Routes project to improve the pedestrian infrastructure around

Hugo Reid Elementary School. It “improve[d] sidewalks, crosswalks and intersections to make it more pedestrian friendly and to encourage more kids—and their parents—to walk to school. And then just for the general benefit of the neighborhood,” said Wray. It was funded by a federal grant at no cost to Arcadia. A key component of the project was revamping the intersection at Golden

T O M S T O P PA R D ’ S

West Avenue and Hugo Reid Drive. “If you’re familiar with the way the intersection was, it was two big sweeping curves that sort of met mid-point and create this sort of vast expanse of pavement,” said Wray. The intersection featured long crosswalks that were not close to the stop signs. “By the time a car would stop at the stop sign and then continue on, the crosswalk was still quite a ways away.”

Now, it has been realigned to create a pedestrian friendly T-intersection. The city worked with the adjacent property owners on landscaping plans so the extra property “blended seamlessly with their front yards” and extended to sidewalks and curbs, said Wray. The residents agreed to maintain this landscaping. Although the issue was open to public comments, there were no speakers. However, the council did have some fun with the matter. “All I can say is, good luck trying to get the kids to walk to school,” Mayor Tom Beck joked to Wray. “My kids walk to school,” Councilmember April Verlato said, laughing. “Yeah,” Beck replied, “But the school that they walk to is, like, across the street.” The vacation of the excess property was approved unanimously.

October College Search Guide The Road to College By May S. Ruiz FRESHMAN

ncourage your children to keep their focus on their schoolwork. By this time, they should have figured out what extracurricular activities they are interested in pursuing and what sports they want to participate in. Give them guidance as they navigate this new phase in their school life, and support the choices they make. SOPHOMORE

Depending on your children’s course choices and load, there could be standardized testing required of them. Your children should be taking AP and SAT II exams following completion of the course so they need to retain the knowledge they gained in class. The best preparation for both AP and SAT II exams is for your children to make sure they understand the subject matter and do well in all tests the teachers give in class. If there is something they didn’t understand, they should right away speak to the teacher to ask for clarification or, possibly, find a tutor for additional help. The results of these standardized exams are required for college applications.

JUNIORS Your children should be aware that junior year is the last complete year of high school performance that college admissions officers will see. They have to put more effort at doing well and getting good marks. They should register for and take the PSAT, which is also the qualifying exams for the National Merit Scholarship. It is also a good time for your children to meet with their school counselor to make sure they are taking all the courses they need to graduate and apply to college. Your children should also be keeping up with their extra-curricular and sports activities. College admissions officers look at several components as they try to assemble an incoming class made up of the best candidates to add to their student body. Several area high schools hold College Fairs on campus. This is an excellent opportunity for you to see what the different colleges and universities are offering. Your children will get to meet and speak to admissions officers – they are usually the same people who will be reviewing your children’s application, reading your children’s essay, and sitting around the table, making their case for your children during the allimportant decision-making rounds. They have a say on whether your children get ac-

cepted or denied admission to the school of their choice. SENIORS

Your children should now be in the process of completing the common app, and finalizing their essay topic or personal statement. They should have provided the teachers who are writing their letters of recommendation with stamped envelopes.

If your children are sending supplementary material (auditions or portfolios) with their application, they need to be getting these ready soon. Audition tapes for Arts Performance, for instance, can be uploaded on YouTube for easy access; some schools no longer accept CDs or DVDs. Your children should check the website of the college or university to which they are

being offered at your children’s high school. Most high schools offer on-site guidance, with specialists who can answer your questions. Your responsibilities as parents are limited to offering encouragement, guidance and moral support as your children go through this stressful time. But while you need to let your children manage this process, you should also express your concerns and expectations. Communicate with your child, the counselors and the teachers when you have inquiries. Be there for your children but learn when to get out of their way. Never try to communicate with the college admission officers as it is the surest way to sabotage your children’s chances for admission. Do not be overzealous about getting your children accepted to their dream university; there is a school out there that’s the right place for them. While this may sound hollow now, the counselors at your children’s school and the admissions officers at the colleges or universities to which your children are applying are actually the experts at finding the best fits.

applying about supplement material requirements. Your children’s school counselors are also a great resource as they are always in contact with college admissions officers. If your children’s high school offers interview advice and guidance, they should take advantage of it. Basic things like what clothes and shoes to wear, in addition to how to answer questions, all help towards giving your children confidence. While this is not an expert advice, I am going to say that in most cases,

interviewers are not as concerned about what answer they give, but their demeanor and how they present themselves . Also, if your children are visiting a campus and an interview with an admissions officer is a requirement for application, they should take the opportunity to schedule the interview at that time. Admissions officers like to see demonstrated interest – a campus visit and interview will be remembered and noted. Be on top of application deadlines; most schools offering Early Action or early Decision have to receive your children’s application by the 1st of November. You and your children should be researching scholarships. Some websites include: CollegeXpress (www. collegexpress.com); Fastweb (www.fastweb.com); Free Application for Federal Student Aid (www.fafasa.ed.gov); National Merit Scholarship Corporation (www.nationalmerit.org); Scholarships.com (www.scholarships.com); Scholarships360 (www.scholaships360.org); Student Aid on the Web (www.studentaid. ed.gov).

Every year, 1.3 million women across the globe are diagnosed with breast cancer. Breast cancer awareness is high, but the primary focus of research is on early detection and treatment rather than prevention. Detection and treatment are undeniably important, but many feel prevention deserves more than the 2 percent of funding it currently receives, especially given the promising preventative strategies already out there. One of these strategies could make preventing breast cancer as easy as warding off the flu. While the causes of breast cancer are diverse, nearly 40 percent of women with breast cancer test positive for a virus called the Human Mammary Tumor Virus, which could be completely prevented if there was a vaccine. In fact, researchers at the Cleveland Clinic have developed a breast cancer vaccine that targets a protein found in most breast cancers, and they announced a month ago that they are planning to begin clinical trials in two years. Luckily, you don’t have to wait until the breast cancer

vaccine is available to protect yourself. Here are three research-proven natural approaches to help you prevent this alltoo-common disease. 1. ‘Get the Toxins Out With Panchakarma: Environmental toxins collect in the fatty tissue of the breasts, where they may contribute to the development of breast cancer. Panchakarma is a detoxification treatment that can effectively eliminate these toxins from the body. Consisting of saturating the body with oils, pulse diagnosis, massage, heat treatments and internal cleansing, it is performed in a spa-like setting with medical personnel. 2. Take Medicinal Mushrooms: Japanese medicinal mushrooms have extraordinary immune system-supporting and cancer-fighting properties. The most effective way to consume them is in concentrated supplement form. One highly researched mushroom supplement is AHCC, a fermented extract of medicinal mushroom mycelia (roots). AHCC is widely used

While the causes of breast cancer are diverse, nearly 40 percent of women with breast cancer test positive for a virus called the Human Mammary Tumor Virus. – Courtesy photo

in clinics throughout Asia to bolster the immune system, reduce risks of infections and provide complementary support for the treatment of cancer, Hepatitis C, liver disease and Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Observational human studies have suggested AHCC can improve outcomes and quality of life in breast cancer

patients. In one study, 33 percent of breast cancer patients taking AHCC experienced remission. 3. Allow Love In: Studies show that women who develop breast cancer give more love than they receive. By surrounding yourself with nurturing relationships, you can reverse this unhealthy imbalance.

A Stroke of Genius By Dorothy Denne

here was a time in my life when I actually enjoyed cleaning house. I don't remember when it was. As of now I have to say that cleaning house is not one of my favorite pastimes. Last night a cricket got into my house. My female cat, Fluffy, spotted him and the chase was on. To escape he crawled under the washing machine. To grab him, Fluffy extended a front leg to maximum length and dragged it under the washer from every possible angle. She never got the cricket but every time she pulled her ex-

tended leg back, along with it came a big dust ball. I don't know whether to kill the cricket, kill the cat or just move to a new house. I don't like cleaning but I do like my house to be clean. I figure it is now clean under the washer but I can't believe that was the only spot to have accumulated dust balls. The same condition probably exists under the refrigerator, under the stove and God knows where else. I dread the thoughts of getting out the big old tank style sweeper with the long skinny attachment for sucking dust from under heavy, nearly immovable objects. Wait. As I write this I've

had a stroke of genius. What if I get some more crickets? There are plenty more where that one came from. They are probably planning to move in anyway. Their ancestors did last year. I'll just put a cricket under each heavy thing then call Fluffy and her brothers into action. Like in the days of old when our fingers did the walking through the yellow pages, their extended legs can do the swiping through the house. That way I don't have to get out the tank sweeper, I don't have to move and, I don't have to kill the cricket. Of course, I would never, ever consider killing a cat.

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.

SPORTS Arcadia Celebrates Homecoming With a 19-12 Victory Over Muir

18 |OCTOBER 6, 2016 - october 12 , 2016

By Christian Romo The Mustangs were only 31 yards away from a potential upset, but a defensive stop with fewer than 30 seconds left to play kept Arcadia’s undefeated season alive. Behind two rushing touchdowns from sophomore Jahlique Stephens (#22), the Arcadia Apaches (5-0) defeated the Muir Mustangs (2-3) 19-12 on homecoming night at Arcadia High. The Apaches started sophomore quarterback Frankie Contreras (#12) in place of injured starter Max Davila, forcing the offense to rely on Stephens to run through Muir’s stout run defense. He was up to the challenge. “My rushing touchdowns were basically off my linemen doing their job and my quarterback making the right reads,” said Stephens. He put the Apaches up 13-12 in the third quarter with a 12yard touchdown diving to the right pylon, and he added another 12-yard touchdown run up the middle in the fourth with six minutes left to play. It turned out to be the deciding play in tight-scoring game. Muir scored first early in

the second quarter on a 21yard draw from quarterback Darren Meyers (#32) after an interception from senior Elijah Blades (#4) set them up on their own 43 yard line. The Apaches responded later in the quarter, with sophomore Rolandiss Whitener (#4) running a fumbled punt return 40 yards for Arcadia’s only score of the half. It was a touchdown the Apaches needed, as they struggled moving the ball throughout the first half. “There are obviously a lot of things we need to clean up,” said Arcadia coach Andrew Policky, who noted that his team moved the ball better when a halftime adjustment saw Contreras throwing more screens to his receivers. “Frankie has taken a lot of reps for us …it’s nice when you don’t have your quarterback, and your backup quarterback can come in in a big game, and we’re still able to get a win.” Though Contreras played well, Meyers played even better under center for the Mustangs. He emerged as Muir’s featured runner, going for over 100 yards on the ground and setting up a

game late in the fourth, but he returned for his team’s final drive, getting the Mustangs within reach of tying the game. “The kid plays hard, practices hard, studies hard,” said Muir coach Antyone Sims of his quarterback. “He’s just a hard worker.”

Though now 5-0 for the first time since 2007, the Apaches have kept every game close, relying on run defense, mid-game offensive adjustments, and momentumshifting plays to keep them undefeated. But Whitener, who was responsible for this

Wildcats Beat Tigers for First Time Since 2010; Take First Place By Christian Romo

It wasn’t the easiest victory, but the Wildcats finally overcame their league rivals for the first time in six years. On a day highlighting Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Monrovia Wildcats (12-1) swept the South Pasadena Tigers (5-6) (2517, 25-21, 25-20) Tuesday afternoon in Monrovia. Though initially struggling on offense, the Wildcat’s front line played a key role defending at the net against South Pasadena’s attacks and overpowering the Tiger’s own front line. Junior Caroline Mulvihill (#9) attacked strongly for the Wildcats, recording nine kills and two aces along with two blocks. Senior Riley Carius (#13) anchored the Wildcat defense up front, using the team’s newfound height ad-

vantage to frustrate the Tiger attack. “This is the first year we’ve ever had height,” she said, “so we usually don’t feel like it’s an advantage for us. We’re not used to having it.” South Pasadena senior Molly Feldmeth (#6) recorded a match-high

thirteen kills, but struggled to find holes in the Wildcat’s defense. “They were stacked on Molly. They knew exactly what she was going to run, when she was going to run it,” said Tigers coach Shari SEE NEXT PAGE

Iwatami of Monrovia’s game plan. Feldmeth took control of a second set timeout, trying to inspire her team after the Tigers gave up an early 6-0 advantage. “It was looking a little dead on the court, and we needed to have a lot more energy,” said Feldmeth. South Pasadena’s energy manifested in senior Madison Hirano (#15), who had nine digs and lead the Tiger’s tenacious back line. Wildcat’s sophomore Da’Niesha Davis (#7) added nine kills and two aces, but Monrovia struggled

to run plays against South Pasadena’s defense. The Wildcat’s front line of Carius, Davis, and senior Vivian But (#15) provided more than enough support, however, to overpower the Tigers. Monrovia’s win signaled a power shift in the Rio Hondo League, which the Tigers have won the last three seasons. Though the Cats are now top dog in the league, Monrovia coach Wayne Teng isn’t ready to celebrate, instead worrying about the match at South Pasadena lat-
