Monrovia City Council Prepares for the Opening of the Wilderness Preserve
COMPLIMENTARY COPY VOLUME 20, NO. 46
Old Town Report
BY SUSAN MOTANDER The Monrovia City Council took further steps on Tuesday night in the process of opening the Wilderness Preserve. They voted to keep the area as a preserve rather than reclassifying it as a park. They also established the hours for operation of the park, and put in place a “pilot permitparking program on certain streets in Monrovia.” The staff report initially recommended that the Preserve be classified with the other city parks, but at the suggestion and urging of Council Member Gloria Crudgington, the preserve will remain just that and not be lumped in with the city’s parks. “We never wanted this to be a park, but a preserve,” she said. Crudgington and her husband, Cleve, were the chairs campaign for Measures A and B that established the preserve and authorized the funding for the purchase of the properties necessary. They were also instrumental in working with the city to set up the Resource Management Plan for the preserve. The balance of the council concurred with Crudgington on this issue. “Let nature be as it is. It was not our desire to make this into a park” Mayor Tom Adams remarked. After some discussion regarding the appropriate hours for the operation of the park, the Council voted to establish the hours as 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. As a part of the process of opening the preserve, permit parking will be initiated on the following streets: - On Ridgeside Drive between Briarcliff Drive and SEE PAGE 12

A Personal Fight for a City Council Seat By Mary McNulty There is nothing as personal as an attack on a family member. When the attack is against an 11 year girl it becomes even more so. Scott Bowles of San Gabriel has been fighting a war against
bullying and is pleased with the changes made in the current school Board. Luckily for Scott Bowles, Christina Alvarado, the only remaining School Board member, is a tremendous supporter
of his daughter and the anti-bullying campaign. The battle has now entered the political arena with the city council race with Scott Bowles facing his nemesis Denise Menchaca.
No Support from the School Board Whatsoever As an 11 year-old, Bowles’s daughter faced a tremendous amount of bulling while in middle school. The situation came to a head when

she was pelleted by rocks on the school’s playground. Seeking help, the Bowles went to the school district. Immediately, they faced legal blockades put in place by the San Gabriel school district. Led by Superintendent of School Susan Parks and School Board President Denise Menchaca, the School Board refused any assistance instead opting for the legal route. As a result, the daughter faced eight hours of a grueling deposition. Throughout the process Bowles reiterated his only desire was to get reimbursement for the medical expenses incurred. To fight the battle, Menchaca increased the school board’s legal budget to three times the original budget at the expense of Valley tax payers. All documents to back up the increased legal figure are available through a simple public records request. The total received from the settlement by the family left them financially devastated. Mike Eng, Carol Liu and AB1156 There was one bright spot in the California legislature, according to Bowles, and that was Mike Eng. Working with Carol Liu, CA State Senator and Bowles, Eng introduced AB1156. It was signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown in Oct 2011 taking effect Jan 2012. “AB 1156, sponsored by the California State PTA, requires training of school site personnel in the prevention of bullying and gives victims of bullying priority for transferring out of a school, if requested. AB 1156 encourages school districts to include policies and procedures on the prevention of bullying in their comprehensive school safety plans; authorizes alternative attendance for students who have been the victims of bullying;

and provides the opportunity to develop training in the prevention of bullying.” While extremely happy with the past and current support Mike Eng has given to his cause –he brings up the issue at a majority of eventsBowles was recently taken back by a decision made. His office has thrown an endorsement to Denise Menchaca. All Bowles can do now is express his confusion over the decision. The City Council Campaign At this point Bowles has made the decision to fight Menchaca for the City Council seat. As a small business owner, he has been in local politics for years. He personally feels the need to stop Menchaca from furthering her political career. As Bowles explains, based upon her financial past he said, “I can’t imagine her controlling the purse strings.” The March election campaign has started but will begin full swing in 2017. Currently Bowles is working the community, knocking on doors. As a small business owner, he feels he is prepared to serve the community. How his Daughter is doing For years the entire family toured California in an effort to confront bullying. The story of the parent who according to Bowles said, “I have bigger fish to fry,” and the initial denial of the existence of bullying has taken his toll leading his daughter. She was on the verge of suicide. The family has cut back tremendously on the speeches due to the impact on the now 20 year old’s physical and mental health. “She’s a strong kid but simply couldn’t take it (the speaking engagements) any longer,” Bowles said.

Pasadena Health Dept. Starts CDC-Funded AntiMenthol, Anti-Tobacco Products Campaign By Terry Miller
On Wednesday morning at City Hall in Pasadena, the Public Health director Michael Johnson, Council Members Gene Masuda and Tyrone Hampton along with other city officials held a press conference to unveil a new campaign which is intended to thwart the use of tobacco and vape products, particularly in N W Pasadena. The City of Pasadena Public Health Department is combating the disproportionately high use of mentholated cigarettes, electronic cigarettes and flavored tobacco products by Hispanic/Latinos and African-Americans in the city, focusing in Northwest Pasadena. Funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Prevention and Control’s Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) Program, this English and Spanish language media campaign uses bus shelter displays, bus interior ads, social media strategies and point-of-sale ads at tobacco retailers. The local educational campaign in English and Spanish is focused on reaching Latino and AfricanAmerican youths and adults, especially in Northwest Pasadena, with social media messages, bus shelter displays, interior placards inside Pasadena Transit buses and point-of-sale ads voluntarily used by tobacco retailers inside stores. City Health Officer Dr. Ying-Ying Goh said tobacco use is still the number one preventable cause of death in the United States and statistics show the use of these types of tobacco products are very popular products with Hispanic/Latinos and

African Americans. “Most young people who use tobacco report using flavored products,” Dr. Goh said. “These products are deadly tools that hook young people onto a lifetime of tobacco use.” Funding for the educational campaign comes from a three-year, $1.5 million grant from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control Prevention’s Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) Program. Currently, the federal REACH program has provided 49 grants, but Pasadena is the only city-based health department in the country to receive funding and is also the only grantee using the funds for an anti-menthol, anti-tobacco product pre-

vention effort. Public Health Department Director Michael Johnson said the educational
campaign seeks to: Raise awareness about the high use of mentholated cigarettes, electronic ciga-
rettes and flavored tobacco products and the aggressive advertising tactics used by the tobacco industry. Increase knowledge about mentholated and flavored tobacco to combat common perceptions that these products are safer than regular tobacco. Shift prevailing attitudes about these products among Pasadena’s AfricanAmerican and Latino adults and youths that these products are acceptable to use. Dr. Ying-Ying Goh said the Use of tobacco products is still the number one preventable cause of death in the United States, and use of these types of tobacco products is disproportionately higher for Hispanic/ Latinos and African Americans than for other groups. The Pasadena campaign is a three-year program to help increase awareness about the dangers of mentholated cigarettes, electronic cigarettes and flavored tobacco products, often cleverly packaged to entice young people to start using these dangerous products.

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.

faces a possible maximum sentence of 25 years to life in state prison. The case remains under investigation by the California Highway Patrol, Central Los Angeles Station.
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.

these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable preinspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into

It was with sadness that I heard at the City Council Meeting on Tuesday of the passing of former Monrovia Police Sergeant Tom Wright. This gentle giant of a man, whose heart was as great as his girth, had retired from the department several years ago. A more formal tribute to this amazing man will appear here soon.

On Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 p.m, I picked up our mail from Monday - and at the same time - I de¬posited five letters in our four outgoing mail¬boxes. On Wednesday morning at 8:45 a.m., I picked up our mail from Tuesday - and at the same time - I noticed that the five letters I mailed the day before were still in our four outgoing mailboxes.

Letter to Editor: Arcadia Voting Districts - a Bad Idea
Dear Editor: I have been a keen observer of the politics of the Arcadia City Council for nearly 50 years. I have seen and evaluated a great number of people who have served in that capacity. It is my opinion that the reason only four Asian-Americans have been elected is that only a few qualified have ever stood for election. No matter what ethnic background a candidate has he or she should be well qualified to bring to the Council
experience and attributes that will benefit the city. Service on the Council, in my opinion, should be for the sole purpose of insuring good government, not to satisfy some ethnic quota. Over these past 50 years we have had some outstanding people serve us on the City Council. My vote for the most capable is Edward Butterworth. We have also has some real disasters such as Mr. Dring and Mr. Haltom. I think that those two represent the very worst of the worst. We have had “single issue” people such as Jack Saelid who became known for leading the opposition to the Mall. Once Jack realized that the Mall was no longer an issue, he became an outstanding councilman. We have also had some deadheads who served only as “place holders”. Getting well qualified and experienced people to run for a seat on the Council is the issue, not districting. I believe that dividing Arcadia into voting districts would inevitably lead to inferior and unqualified people being elected. Believe me, in the past we have had some real “ding bats” run for the City Council. Election of such a person is assured if he or she is the only candidate in the district. Arcadia is not so large that each district would have a pool of qualified people who would be willing to run for a seat on the Council. I supported Sho Tay each time he ran for the Council. He is well qualified and has a sense of equality needed in that job. The Asian community can only blame itself for not offering more qualified people to stand for election. It has always been expected that a candidate for election to the Council
BeaconMediaNews.com
should have demonstrated his or her capabilities by service to the community. Sho Tay did that. He was in line to be elected as the next president of the Chamber of Commerce. He served twice as Master of the Arcadia Masonic Lodge. Other Asian-Americans would do well to follow his example. There are a great many organizations in Arcadia where a person desiring to serve the city can demonstrate his or her abilities. In my opinion no one should be elected who has never given of his or her time and treasure to the betterment of the city. No one should be elected simply because of his or her ethnic background - Jim Helms, Former Mayor ARCADIA
Letter to Editor: Reader Replies to Dorothy’s Place ‘Is it Time?’ (11/10/16 Issue)
Dear Dorothy, A few years before I withdrew from paid work, I felt like a sluggish caterpillar, slowly creeping through a predictable soul-crushing dullness. Then when I retired, I became a butterfly! I sprouted wings and soared towards the light of an undiscovered freedom. You, Dorothy, are already as lovely as a butterfly! And your writings are the wings with which you chase after original thoughts. What, I wonder, could be your next stage of metamorphosis? I wish you continuing success in whatever you decide to do - but this one thing is certain: As your de-
voted fan, I’ll miss reading your “Dorothy’s Place” column, which has become my favorite part of the Monrovia Weekly. - David Quintero MONROVIA
Readers Comment on ‘Chinese American Equalization Association Demands Electoral Changes … ’ (11/10/16 Issue)
No one can argue that having 1 out of 5 Council seats in a city with 60% of the population is of Asian descent is truly representative, at least demographically. However, by-district elections isn’t going to solve the two root causes of under-representation, which is a lack of candidates and lack of voter participation. If any group is really interested in changing the status-quo, they should identify and encourage good, independent candidates to run for office, ensure they are funded appropriately, and establish get out the vote drives. That, and not a lawsuit, would go much farther in creating equal representation within our elected body. – Raymond Cheung ARCADIA Sheng Chang ran last election, why didn’t those 59.2% elect him. Or Bob Harbicht, for that matter. I’m not sure how those 59.2% can really benefit by districting when they live in all parts of Arcadia, not one particular area of the city. - Sherrie Powell Russo ARCADIA

PMCA Presents The Exhibition Interstitial The Pasadena Museum of California Art (PMCA) is proud to present the contemporary exhibition Interstitial from March 5 through Aug. 6, 2017. With new and recent free-standing sculptures by seven Los Angeles-based artists, curator John David O’Brien addresses the question: What happens to ordinary entities of domestic life when they are moved from their quotidian contexts, transformed through the artmaking process, and reconfigured in the formal space of the museum? The community of object makers answers this question with works that exist in the interstitial, in the space between the memories of objects’ conventional functions and their abrupt and unexpected presences as artworks in the museum. The seven artists: Jeff Colson, Renée Lotenero, Kristen Morgin, Joel Otterson, Rebecca Ripple, Aili Schmeltz, and Shirley Tse forge relationships with everyday objects through an eclectic merging of sculpture and craft, a colliding of found and formed pieces. The resulting object-sculptures are hybrids, assembled from or reinvented to resemble the habitually overlooked items of the everyday. By reconstructing and reimagining objects, the artists renew viewers’ attention to the significance,

placement, and visual characteristics of objects, within both the exhibition and their daily lives. The artists further challenge the conventional functions of the objects by imbuing them with values not inherent to their normative usages, causing viewers to consider the way meaning is ascribed. To encourage careful observation and underscore the uncanny sense of displacement, the gallery walls are void of text as well as artwork—a divergence from the majority of art in mu-
seums, which is hung on or positioned close to the walls. The sculptures are arranged at a distance from one another and either set away from gallery walls or suspended from the ceiling, making them available for viewing in the round from any vantage point. The suspended artworks may lead viewers to notice the unique, exposed ceiling of the PMCA, an often overlooked feature, and to conjure the architectural usage of the term interstitial, which indicates the space above the ceiling of one level but below the floor
of the next. The works also evoke their art historical roots, from still life painting’s symbolic meanings to the readymade’s use of found objects and assemblage’s combination of disparate elements, and from abstraction’s conveyance of emotion to conceptual art’s theoretical notions. Whether through Joel Otterson’s combinations of fine and decorative art materials, Kristen Morgin’s unfired clay disguised as found objects, or Jeff Colson’s masses of stacked paper that merge

memory and craft, the artworks in Interstitial challenge connotation and perceived iconography through the restructuring or sculpting of and with domestic objects and their placement in new contexts. Interstitial unravels labels and melts away standard
uses and prescribed functions through a sculptural translation of the everyday into art. On view in the PMCA Main Gallery, the works encourage slow looking and contemplation of the form, structure, and aesthetic value of art as well as the objects that make up our surroundings.

A Cheesy Portal to a Mouthwatering Burrito story and photos By Jason Yassine
R
esting next to the historic Pasadena Playhouse, is a quaint restaurant known as El Portal (695 E Green Street). El Portal serves Yucatan/Mexican cuisine in a very cozy dining atmosphere. The restaurant has a total of two rooms. The first room provides a sports bar and the second is the dining room. Upon entering the dining room, you immediately notice an antique theme with old–fashioned dining chairs and cultural art. The theme makes for a very comfortable environment. When ordering the food they provide complimentary chips and salsa, which is a great way to keep you busy while you wait. The meal I decided to review was a classic, bean and cheese burrito. As simplistic as it sounds, when the burrito arrived I was visually impressed with the dish. The burrito was stuffed with wholesome refried pinto beans and rich melted cheese. Covered in a zesty red sauce, topped with even more melted cheese and accompanied with a side of rice and sour

cream, the dish had an array of different flavors. The first thing I did was slice the burrito straight down the middle. Once I did, a sea of warm refried beans and luscious cheese poured out. As I took my first bite, there was a burst of flavor from the com-
bination of ingredients. The cheese and beans were an excellent blend of taste. What gave it the extra kick, was the zesty red sauce that covered the burrito. The sauce was slightly spicy but gave the burrito moisture and didn’t leave a dry taste in my mouth.
The rice was a fairly decent, as it had a bit of spice and a mix of corn and peas. The sour cream was a nice additive, because it enhanced the very warm dish with a cool, rich, and creamy taste. In general, the whole experience at El Portal was
satisfying. I will note that the dish had an abundant amount of cheese, so if you’re a cheese lover, you’ll love this dish. The meal is heavy, so it’s advised that you eat light before coming because you will get full. The price is under $10
so you get quality for your money. Overall, when looking at taste, experience, and price I would rate El Portal four out of five stars. Would you make a trip to El Portal and try this dish? Sound off in the comments below.

Di-No Computers By Emily G. Peters Service Provider status for the 10th year in a row,” said Larry Moon, who managed Porsche Audi dealerships for 20 years before joining Di-No in 1990. “We are also an Apple Premier Partner, which is the highest level an independent reseller can hold.” As a retailer and service provider, the shop offers the latest Apple products and accessories, as well as expert computer consulting, network configuration and design, Internet set-up, data recovery, system configuration and—to the relief of many—technical support and repair for computers that have suffered the agonizing damage of drops, crashes, surges and spills. Less hectic and warmer than your typical Apple retail experience, Di-No’s walls feature a mosaic of celebrity headshots, each with a special message of thanks made out to the crew at Di-No. Clients can drop in to receive assistance, or choose to set up a staff appointment to review their needs. Di-No staff, which includes Apple-certified technicians, not only undergo regular training and assessment but also offer ongoing training to the community. Their weekly educational
classes take the guesswork out of operating Apple computers, introducing users to the Mac interface, apps, and programs with step-by-step instruction on how to get the most out of their devices. These small-group sessions are not only open to any experience level but are completely free to attend, held at the Di-No storefront on Tuesday afternoons. Unsurprisingly, it’s this relaxed, user-friendly, family atmosphere that has helped Di-No become a technological fixture in the community for so many years. “We provide a lowstress and fun atmosphere for our clients,” said Moon. “We strive towards superior sales and service assistance, and want each customer to have a positive experience.” And given its long history, it looks like Di-No delivers on that goal – making this shop a welcome haven for anyone in need of a little computing magic.

For those who dread a visit to the Genius Bar, there’s a welcome alternative for your Apple needs – and it’s been around nearly 40 years. Pasadena’s Di-No Computers has been answering the prayers of afflicted computer-owners since 1978. Despite what its name suggests, Di-No has nothing to do with the extinct species and everything to do with family, with its founder Sal Cordaro naming the business after his daughters, Diane and Noreen. Cordaro, a skilled musician, was known for his performances at local venues, and even produced no less than six albums featuring his mastery of the Hammond organ. But in the late seventies, it was his love of sharing technology that ultimately led him to establish Di-No Computers. Though Cordaro passed away in 2012, his daughter Diane remains at the helm as president, alongside her husband and vice-president/COO, Larry Moon. DiNo is unique in that it was the first authorized Apple retailer in the area, sparking a legacy of excellence that has become its hallmark as a technical retailer and support center. “We recently achieved Apple’s Premium

Joint Use Parking Agreement With Metro Being Developed During the past several months, staff has been working with Metro representatives to examine the possibility of developing a joint use parking agreement with Metro for use of the Gold Line Parking Structure here in Monrovia. The proposed agreement would allow non-transit us-
ers to park in the Metro Gold Line Parking Structure during nights and weekends. Based on our discussions to date, the city has received very favorable feedback that Metro would be amenable to developing such a joint use agreement. To that end, we have a meeting set-up with
Metro representatives this upcoming week to further discuss the possibility of opening up the parking structure for general use during offpeak hours here in Monrovia. We will be sure to keep everyone apprised of the progress regarding this matter moving forward.

on a quarterly basis. Brad Hogart, a resident in one of the areas near the preserve, praised the city staff especially City Manager Oliver Chi and Community Services Director Tina Cherry, and for the work they have done with the community to prepare for the opening of the Wilderness Preserve. In the course of the discussion regarding the preserve, Crudgington noted, “There have been a flurry of emails about this.” She sug-
gested that the council consider establishing a speed limit in the preserve. “I think we need to worry about the cars going up there cars hitting hikers and bikers,” she added and suggested the City’s Traffic Engineer review this before the next review in three months. Chi assured that this and the other issues raised by the council would be monitored in an ongoing basis, not just at the quarterly formal reviews.

Weaving the Way Into the Holiday By Susan Motander This weekend in Sierra Madre Designing Weavers is hosting its annual weaving exhibit and boutique, Art for the Home, Body, and Soul. It will be held at the Sierra Madre Women’s Club, 550 W. Sierra Madre Blvd. from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. This will be the 5th year the group has staged its exhibit and holiday boutique at the Sierra Madre Woman's Club. One of the artists who will be exhibiting her work this weekend, Nikki Blair, wrote that she enjoys this venue saying “The Essick House at the SMWC is a perfect place for us to exhibit. There are four big rooms bursting with fiber - garments, baskets, scarves, bags, table tapestries and more. One room we call the "Red Room" which is filled with items with at least a hint of red - the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit. The living room is filled with garments - from classic to quirky as well as fiber jewelry and scarves. The dining room is filled with treasures for the home. And there is still anoth-

er room filled with fiber. The event is an annual tradition of Designing Weavers and provides an opportunity for our artists to showcase their work, educate the public about weaving and start the holiday shopping season with fiber. It's a 30year tradition showcasing outstanding textile craftsmanship and design from premier So Cal artists. Most exhibits don't allow touching - but this group encourages it! Blair wrote ”Touching fiber is the best way to soothe the soul.” This is not only a boutique with many items for sale, but also an exhibit with

the artists on hand both days to discuss their work and answer questions. These are artists who will 'wow' you with what they can create with fiber as they are “juried” into the group.

Citywide Election Dec. 19 and will run through Jan. 13, 2017. The seats that are up for re-election are currently held by Mayor Tom Adams, Mayor Pro Tem Alexander Blackburn, Council Member Larry Spicer, City Clerk Alice Atkins and City Treasurer Steve Baker. If any of these incumbents do not file for reelection, the filing deadline will be extended for that office (or offices) to Jan. 18. The filing fee for these offices is $25 and there is a $100 refundable deposit for removal of signs and campaign literature. If a candidate opts to have a ballot statement printed, the estimated cost will be $1,500,
due at the time of filing. The ballot statements will be 200 words or less. As has been the practice of the City Clerk’s office, the staff requests that those who wish to take out nominating papers, call that office to make an appointment. At that appointment, the potential candidates will be given an orientation of approximately half an hour, and a Candidate’s Handbook that has been prepared by city staff. The Clerk’s Office staff is also working to coordinate an orientation seminar prior to the filing period. This program is designed for those interested in running
for office an overview of the process and an idea of what running for an elected City position entails. This meeting is open to the general public, not just those interested in running for office. There will also be an additional meeting for all the qualified candidates after the conclusion of the filing period. At this meeting, senior members of the city staff will present profiles of all City Departments and the candidates will also be given a comprehensive information packet. For further information, contact the Clerk’s office at (626) 932-5505 or aatkins@ ci.monrovia.ca.us.
ately; all indicators point to a healthy rise in sales for the holidays; I hear more happy than sad, more good news about new jobs, less friends being laid off -- and overall more encouraging signs. So, I’m not quite predicting, but I am exceedingly hopeful. Of course, it does help to do business in the best Main Street in California (or anywhere, for that matter). When I see the colored balls going up in the trees and the store fronts being decorated, I’m just naturally happy. Again I will say to the naysayers, if we waited until after Thanksgiving to put all of the tinsel and bells up, we’d be celebrating the season at News Year’s Eve, because that’s how long it takes and how much planning is involved. So hold on to your hats: the Candy Canes go up in Old Town this coming Saturday the 19th! Another positive note: we’ve been able to maintain a very low vacancy rate in Old Town Monrovia. We did lose Resistor Records in the 500 block, but we have gained Saint-Carle Bridal Suite just north of where Resistor was located. SaintCarle is an upscale, full service bridal boutique located

compatibility and preservation. The MOHPG’s stated mission is to be entrusted with Monrovia’s heritage through preservation, education, and community involvement, so clearly a great choice for Grand Marshall. As usual, come to Old Town early to claim your spot on the Avenue, and make time to eat out at your favorite restaurant. Every eatery in Old Town is open on Thursdays, so no worries there. We’ve talked lots about crosswalk safety, with special concerns about the three crosswalks on Myrtle (500, 400 and 200 blocks). Lack of attention from both pedestrians and motor vehicles combined with poor visibility in some places has scared some of us regulars for years. Our friend, Soren Loft from Old Town Bistro, has designed and built two Flag Stands which will be places on either side of the crosswalk in the 500 block of S. Myrtle. The City will give this experiment a try for a period of 90 days I believe. And – we now have an Information Booth at Street Fair located between Rudy’s and the Monrovian! More fun next week…

High Point Academy Uses Recent Election as a Teaching Opportunity By May S. Ruiz
W
hile all of America went to the polls last week to cast their vote for who they want to be the next person to occupy the White House, fifth graders at High point Academy (HPA) in Pasadena held their own election on campus. According to HPA’s fifth grade teachers, Jessica Walch and Terri Gier, before voting for president, the students had a short lesson on why voting is both a right and a responsibility for all U.S. citizens. “Our class election was the culmination to the election unit that fifth grade has been involved in and studying for the past month,” explain Walch and Gier. “Students researched Donald Trump’s and Hillary Clinton’s stances on the following issues: immigration; health care; foreign policy; education; and the economy. Students were given QR (quick response) codes to speedily access the informa-
tion on various websites.” “Throughout the unit, fifth grade students learned about the branches of government, responsibilities of the president, how the right to vote has evolved over time, different political parties, and the electoral college. As an extension to the unit, and for extra credit points, students were given an electoral college scoring guide to fill in as the results became available,” Walch and Gier say further. “We were excited to transform the classroom into a polling place for Election Day,” continue Walch and Gier. “Students were so eager to enter the room, sign-in, and vote. All morning we were keen to see the results! In the afternoon, we brought the two fifth grade classes together to share the outcome – Hillary Clinton received 26 votes while Donald Trump had 14. Students were very curious to see how our results compared with the national popular votes.”

watched the final speeches. We had a nice discussion and students were given the opportunity to share their thoughts. Students were engaged through the entire unit; they were enthusiastic to learn and discuss politics. We were glad to have had the opportunity for this shared experience,” Walch and Gier conclude. The mood across the nation, though, was far from pleasant. People staged protests in the streets the day after the election. Gary Stern, head of school, took this as an opportunity to share his thoughts with parents and
teachers. In a blog he posted two days after the elections, he urged, “Reassure your children that, no matter what, they are safe, loved, and cared for. Make sure to tell them up front, and as often as needed, that you are always there to support them and help them.” “Little pitchers have big ears,” Stern admonished. “Though your children may seem to be preoccupied when they are about, they are actually listening to – and hanging on – every word you say. What’s more, they may not be able to assess your true intent. So, think before you speak in the presence of children, especially if your words are negative, disparaging, or angry. Words you may quickly forget could inadvertently cause them to become fearful.” According to Stern, parents should have appropriate level conversations with their children. “Be mindful that young children ask the questions that will elicit only the information they need. So don’t overshare and overwhelm them! Older children may require more facts than younger ones do, to feel secure. Let their questions be your guide, and be careful to give the information they can embrace and understand.” “Take the time to sit down with children and let them know that it’s okay for parents and kids to feel scared, sad, disappointed, or angry when things don’t go ‘right’,” continues Stern.
“Explain that there will always be challenges in life; times when things go completely wrong or defy our expectations. It is how we respond to adversity and the challenges we face that ultimately makes us strong and resilient – able to withstand disappointments and bounce back.” Parents and teachers need to avoid speaking in abstract, says Stern. “Share a personal story; it’s always important to discuss things with children on a human, as opposed to abstract, level. Make a compelling story out of a time you had to rise above a great disappointment: the school election everyone said you would win but lost; the months you spent practicing for a tournament or concert, only to fumble your big moment in humiliation; the time you unsuccessfully applied for your first job. But then share how you used that defeat to come back, stronger, wiser, and better, to achieve your goals.” In closing, Stern exhorts, “Show your child that at a time of greatest alienation, when we feel most apart from one another, is the precise time for everyone to come together and support each other. Remind them what it feels like when anger turns to hugs, adversaries shake hands, and everyone pitches in to work together. It’s a feeling that anything is possible, where we thought nothing would be.” They are indeed words to live by.
Students Are ‘Safe From Discrimination and Bullying’ Says State School Chief Tom Torlakson recently issued a statement reassuring California public school students from kindergarten through grade 12 that they are all safe from discrimination and bullying: “I know that the outcome of the recent Presidential election has caused deep concern among many students and their families. The nation maintains a strong tradition for the peaceful transition of power. And I want to let all of California’s 6.2 million public school students know that keeping them safe from discrimina-
tion and bullying at our great state’s 11,000 public schools is a top priority. “In California, diversity is strength. Our students come from all kinds of backgrounds, cultures, languages, and religions, and they all come together to learn on their way to success in 21st century careers and college. California already has, and will always maintain, strong legal and state Constitutional protections against any and all kinds of discrimination, regardless of a student’s race, ethnicity, faith, sexual orientation, or
gender identity. “And I want to tell young women and girls that they will always be safe, be respected, and be protected at school. As the proud father of two daughters, I know that girls can achieve anything, succeed at anything they choose, and earn the respect that they deserve every day at school, in the workplace, and in our communities. California moves forward, not back.” Visit our website to let us know if you agree that students are “safe from discrimination and bullying”

Distinctive Dining at The Huntington Is Inspired by Its Multi-Cultural Setting By May S. Ruiz
L
aura SkanderaTrombley took over as president of The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens, in San Marino, in July of last year and put into motion several initiatives almost as soon as she walked in her office. One of her first undertakings was to ensure that visitors’ dining experience at The Huntington matches its reputation as a world-class institution. Eight months ago, Skandera-Trombley led a committee composed of Huntington staff, overseers and trustees on what she describes as a “food quest.” They reviewed proposals and interviewed 14 prospective catering operators who will work with them to usher in a new era in destination dining at The Huntington. On Oct. 5, The Huntington announced that it has contracted with Bon Appetit Management Company based in Palo Alto. As part of this partnership, The Huntington and Bon Appetit have invited Border Grill cofounders, Mary Sue Milliken and Sue Feniger, and Blue Window co-owner,
Kajsa Alger, to launch several new dining concepts on its historic grounds. It is a perfect partnership according to SkanderaTrombley, “The introduction of world-class dining at The Huntington is a natural extension of who and what we are. We are home to a 6,5000-volume historic cookbook collection, including the first known printed cookbook – dating to 1475. Specially prepared good food beautifully matches our commitment to authenticity, quality and culture. And, for that reason, we couldn’t be more excited to have Susan, Mary Sue, and Kajsa joining us at this time.” Says Skandera-Trombly on their choice of Bon Appetit, “Standout features of the Bon Appetit proposal included their commitment to quality, taste, and sustainability. We consider sustainability to be of key importance at The Huntington – whether we are considering how to lower our water use, narrow our carbon footprint, or determine what types of seafood we serve.” Bon Appetit CEO and cofounder Fedele Bauccio, who has been recognized for his

work in sustainability before it became a household word, says, “I am thrilled to bring our focus on sustainability and fresh, seasonally driven food to The Huntington.” Feniger, who also cofounded Blue Window with Alger, enthuses, “In the heart
of the San Gabriel Valley, surrounded by breathtaking botanical gardens, art collections, and renowned library holdings, and serving flavorful foods that reflect Southern California’s growing multicultural population, we hope to transform The Huntington
into a place that inspires all the senses!” The celebrated chefs are offering their signature fares befitting the various destinations at The Huntington. The main café, newly renamed 1919 for the year The Huntington was founded, features different dining concepts to please visitors. The Border Grill taqueria, a smaller version of Feniger’s and Milliken’s Border Grill restaurants, serves the chefs’ signature modern Mexican cuisine like tacos on handmade corn tortillas with organic rice and beans, quesadillas, ceviche, and seasonal aguas frescas. At The Bar, Alger creates freshly made sushi – rolls, nigiri, and bowls; or small plates of global fare for pairing with beer, wine, and sake – or whimsical craft cocktails inspired by the setting. Alger and Feniger are offering at the Chinese Garden’s Freshwater Dumpling and Noodle House authentic dumplings, noodles, and rice dishes drawn from China, Nepal and Mongolia. The chefs will take their food inspiration as the surrounding garden changes with the season. “The Huntington has always been this little oasis within the city, a place where you can come and feel tranquil among the chaos,” proclaims Alger. “We’re thrilled to be at the center of the Chinese Garden and to offer the simple dishes and flavors that I grew up with, spanning the regions of China.” At the casual Patio Grill, adjacent to The Huntington’s Shakespeare Garden and American art galleries, weekend visitors can savor Feniger’s and Milliken’s
global-meets-local flavors. The rotating seasonal menus will highlight the rich culinary heritage from the various communities in Los Angeles like griddled Cubano sandwiches; grilled corn with smoky aioli and cheese; a roasted yam, quinoa, and kale salad; and seasonal aguas frescas. A tour of The Huntington wouldn’t be complete without stopping at the Rose Garden Tea Room. Currently under renovation, it will reopen on November 16 to once again be the venue for an elegant and memorable experience, inspired by the English tradition of afternoon tea with a distinctive California twist. Visitors can indulge on crumpets and scones, delicate finger sandwiches, caviar-topped blinis, and decadent desserts with their choice of herbal and Fair Trade teas or sparkling wine. “At a time when cuisine has become key to every type of cultural experience – from museum-going to concert-watching – we believe it’s critically important to have dining here reflect the high quality that is The Huntington standard,” declares Skandera-Trombley. “Food is no longer incidental – it is part of our culture. And, according to some, it is everything. We want wonderful, memorable food to be part of the greater Huntington experience.” With the most respected names in food creation and catering all working together, Skandera-Trombley’s wish to make people think of The Huntington as a food destination in an incomparable setting is now a triumphant reality.

well, as alumnus can often gain preference over other candidates. Write a compelling and detailed cover letter customized to each job stating what you can bring to their organization that others can’t. If you are called in for an interview, research the company fiercely and be prepared to answer behavioral questions as well as comment on why you want to work there and why they should hire you. Practice, practice, practice! I cannot stress this enough, it is the difference between coming off calm, cool and collected versus being nervous and spitting out answers on the spot. Dress professionally, business formal or business casual are generally appropriate depending on the company, and be sure to send a thank you email to the hiring manager after the meeting. Lastly, don’t give up! One door closed means another door will open and you will find the right fit for you. It’s a learning experience and every meeting or opportunity will bring you one step closer to your true path. Good luck!

vious job duties or projects in school. If you competed in sports or extra-curricular activities, include those as well, it shows you are wellrounded. Ask your mentors to review your resume and provide any feedback, and after implementing that said feedback, politely ask if they would pass it along to any acquaintances that could be helpful. Generally, people want to help others, so don’t be afraid to ask for advice or a favor. The same goes for your online profile, if you don’t have a LinkedIn account, get one. Ensure your social media accounts are a reflection of your professional presence. Anything that can be found online about you should be positive, as that one photo of you at a frat party from college will be found, and it could very well hold you back. Third, when you finally hit the job search boards, try a variety of sites to see what works for you.

Write down what your skills are and what values you appreciate in a future employer and industry. Do you want to work for a small or big company? Some of you may have a very specific set of skills, such as an engineer, however, others may have more general experience, such as those who majored in communication or business. It’s important to nail down what you would enjoy doing, what type of company you would be proud to work for and then take those criteria into your job search. Second, as you start the application process, make sure your resume is up to snuff. Try to keep it to a page, but add as much detail as possible about your pre-

Long-time Sierra Madre Resident, Ann Luke, Passes Away at 80

1936 - 2016
L
ong-time Sierra Madre resident Ann Walker Luke passed away on Oct. 28 at the age of 80 after a yearlong battle with cancer. Active in community and civic affairs in Southern California for many years, she served as president of the Sierra Madre Kiwanis Club and the Sierra Madre Woman's Club, as a member and president of the city's chamber of commerce, a member of the board of Creative Arts group, and a member of the city's Senior Commission. She is survived by her husband, John Luke, and a brother, Dr. John Walker of Oceanside. Ann was born in Los Angeles and grew up on her family's avocado ranch in the San Diego County community of Fallbrook. After graduating in the class of 1957 from Pomona College, where she was editor of the student newspaper, she served for two years as an analyst for the National Se-
curity Agency in Fort Meade, Maryland. Returning to Southern California in 1960, she became a technical writer and editor at System Development Corporation (SDC), where she worked with another writer/ editor, John Luke, whom she married in 1967. For several years, she was assistant editor for the Annual Review of Information Science and Technology, which SDC developed for the National Science Foundation. During the 1980s she held publications and marketing management positions at the Rand Corporation and Xerox. After moving to Sierra Madre in 1987, Ann established her own marketingcommunications consulting firm, Luke Communications. Later, she also was an advertising specialist for the Sierra Madre Weekly, Mountain Views News, and San Marino Tribune before retiring earlier this year.
Long active in professional and community affairs, Ann served as president of the Los Angeles chapter of Women in Business and was a member of the Committee for the Preservation of Simon Rodia's Towers in Watts. Music was long an important part of her life. She sang in the Pomona College choir, with a cathedral choir in Washington, D.C., and with the Pasadena-area chapter of the Sweet Adelines women's barbershop society. Presented with a hammered dulcimer as a birthday gift in 1992, she studied for the next 15 years with noted Monrovia teacher Jennifer Ranger and for several years played with an Irish band that performed regularly at art fairs and home tours in the San Gabriel Valley. For many years, Ann and John have been members of the congregation of Sierra Madre's Episcopal Church of the Ascension, where her remains will be interred in the parish's Memorial Garden.

enjie Freiberger, 57, died peacefully on Wednesday Oct. 26 surrounded by his family at his home in Sierra Madre after a very sudden and brief battle with cancer. Benjie was born in Encino to Fred and Shirley Freiberger. He attended the University of Colorado and Cal State Northridge. Benjie was President and CEO of TalentPro. Benjie will be remembered as an extremely devoted husband, father, and friend to many who adored him. He was a respected and prominent member of the Sierra Madre community. He was the founder and coordinator of the The Sierra Madre Golf Tournament to benefit the Sierra Madre Elementary and Middle Schools. Served on the Fourth of July Planning Committee and the Mount Wilson Trail Race Committee. He loved to take pictures of his children and their teams at their sporting events and was a proud supporter and fan of the Sierra Madre Little League. He was known as the Soccer Mom for all of his chil-
dren’s teams over the years in AYSO Region 2. But he will be best remembered for hosting the best parties ever for any and all holidays where everyone was always welcomed with a warm hug and a smile. Benjie is survived by his wife Leslie, his three children Jack (20), 12-year old twins Sam and Lindsay, and his dogs Bullet and Lucky.

Is It Time? By Dorothy Denne
M
y first Dorothy's Place column was published on Jan. 20, 1994. It was about a lamp and the title was Is It Time? I have done a weekly column ever since. That's a long time and a lot of columns. Now I'm thinking once again, is it time?
Through those years, I've enjoyed sharing lives with my readers. Many have introduced themselves when we passed in the supermarket, the library, on a bus, in a theater, even once in a restroom in Tijuana. I've received so many letters, notes and emails. They were thought-
ful, thankful and kind. Well, a few were not, but hey, even they were learning experiences. As Carol Burnett used to sing, I'm glad we had this time together. Now I think it is time to turn off the lamp at Dorothy's Place and take a little rest. Thank you all.
EDITOR’S NOTE: For those of you who may have missed Dorothy’s swan song last week…we at Beacon Media are running this, Dorothy’s final column, once again. It is the end of an era for Dorothy and Beacon. Dorothy’s column has delighted thousands over the years and her wit and wordplay is unmatched in the annals of this newspaper group. We are all going to miss her down to earth sensibility and extraordinary sense of the absurd. Thank you Dorothy, for so many wonderful and funny-bone tickling columns! We wish you all the best life has to offer in your retirement from writing.

Governor’s Statement on Presidential Election and Transition of Power Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. issued the following statement on the 2016 presidential election and the transition to a new administration: “Today we saw the beginning of the transfer of power to the President-elect. While the prerogatives of victory are clear, so also are the
responsibilities to ensure a strong and unified America. As President Lincoln said, ‘A house divided against itself cannot stand.’ With the deep divisions in our country, it is incumbent on all of us – especially the new leadership in Washington – to take steps that heal those divisions, not deepen them. In California,
we will do our part to find common ground whenever possible. But as Californians, we will also stay true to our basic principles. We will protect the precious rights of our people and continue to confront the existential threat of our time –devastating climate change. E Pluribus Unum.”

The LA County Board of Supervisors has ordered a report on how the county can ensure victims of misdemeanor crimes receive restitution in the same manner as victims of felonies. “The public was very misled by proponents of Proposition 47 just as we were all misled by AB 109 when the governor told us that the probation department would be supervising “low level” offenders – fact is, nearly 70 percent of that population is high risk or very high risk – less than 2 percent are low level offenders,” said Antonovich. “Now, the public is being told that Proposition 57 will only make the “non-violent” felons in state prison
eligible for early release. What the public is not being told is that Proposition 57 includes crimes like rape of an unconscious person, solicitation to commit murder, first degree burglary, domestic violence and assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer - it even includes human trafficking involving a minor.” “With respect to Prop 47, the public was told that there would be nearly $130 million in projected cost savings by the state which has not been realized,” he added. “The problem is that we are not talking about giving people second chances – we are talking about giving people a slap on the hand time and time again. In fact,
one person has been re-arrested 44 times -- another person 33 times, and nearly 100 lives have been taken by these so-called low-level offenders.” Proposition 47 statistics: - 55 people have been rearrested 15 times. - 222 people have been rearrested 10 times. - 2,108 people have been rearrested 5 times. - Nearly 6,000 people have been re-arrested 3 times since this law took effect. - 50% of Prop 47 offenders re-offend. - 50% of those go on to commit part one crimes which includes violent crimes. Prop 47 repeat offenders have committed the following part one crimes in our county: - 2,637 aggravated assaults. - 3,717 burglaries. - 73 arson. - 4,564 grant theft auto. - 15,620 larceny theft. - 47 forcible rapes. - 98 criminal homicides.

SPORTS Women Coaches Scarce in Pasadena Girls’ Volleyball 22 |NOVEMBER 17, 2016 - NOVEMBER 23, 2016
BeaconMediaNews.com
By Christian Romo When the La Salle girls’ volleyball team hosted the opening round of the 2016 CIF playoffs, Lancer’s head coach Tiare Tuitama fell into a surprising minority. In just six seasons, Tuitama has led the Lancers
to four league titles and CIF championships in 2012 and 2013. She also owns and operates her own club, Forza1 in Pasadena, and coaches the La Salle boys’ team in the spring. Few women in the area coach more volleyball
than she does. However, it shocked her to find out how few women were currently coaching. When Tuitama stepped onto the court for her team’s playoff matchup against Ayala, she was one of only eleven
women coaching a team in the Division 3 playoffs. The other nineteen head coaches were men. “Those numbers…that surprised me,” Tuitama said. The low number of women coaching wasn’t limited to Division 3, either. In Division 2, women coached only nine of the twenty-seven playoff teams. In Division 1, only eleven of thirty. And in Pasadena, the numbers are even lower. Of the ten high school girls volleyball head coaches in the city, only three are women: Tuitama, Pasadena High coach Ashley DiSalvo, and Blair coach Janel Coburn. The other seven schools, including girls’ schools Westridge and Mayfield, employ men to coach their girls’ volleyball teams. Women coaches are underrepresented in girls’ volleyball, not just in Pasadena, but around the country. That much is clear. The reasons why, however, are not. Dr. Mary Cruz-Stevens, a teacher and former student at Marshall Fundamental, coached the Eagles girls’ volleyball team for ten seasons, stepping down last year to finish her doctorate. “When I came back from college, I wanted to be involved with my team,” CruzStevens said, “and I wanted to do something to stay in touch with Marshall.” La Salle hired Tuitama in 2011 after she assisted at East Los Angeles College and Campbell Hall thanks to her connections with thenCampbell Hall and current La Salle athletic director Anthony Harris. DiSalvo got the job at PHS out of college after beating out one other finalist, and Blair hired Coburn last year as the only lead candidate for the job. Preferential treatment for men often explains a workplace gender gap, especially in athletics. But despite
La Salle’s Varisty Coach, Tiare Tuitama.
being the only women coaching in Pasadena, none of the three believe they faced any gender bias during the interview process. “I wouldn’t say that I’ve seen it,” said DiSalvo, who thinks her gender may have even helped her get the job at PHS due to an issue the school had with a previous male coach. “Maybe men are getting positions over women, but I don’t know … I think there’s something bigger to it.” Westridge athletic director Melanie Horn doesn’t believe employment bias explains the gender gap in coaching, either. “I wouldn’t say that I go out of my way to hire a female, but certainly if a qualified one is there, I’d be more than happy to hire her,” she said. Horn, who has hired three alumnae currently on staff as assistant coaches, believes there aren’t enough qualified women applying for varsity jobs. “It bothers me that there aren’t more

highly qualified female candidates,” she said. Since athletics are still dominated by men, it isn’t strange that more men apply for coaching positions than women. But considering volleyball’s popularity with girls, and sagging interest with boys, the coaching gap there is stranger than in other sports. DiSalvo tried to start a boys’ volleyball team at PHS recently, but lack of interest and funding from the Pasadena Unified School District sunk her cause. “Volleyball is much bigger for females than it is for males,” she said. Of Pasadena’s eight coed schools, only four have a boys’ volleyball team. The popularity gap in high school widens significantly in college, with 247 NCAA Division I women’s volleyball programs, compared to only 23 for men. And though the vast majority of college volleySEE NEXT PAGE

ball players are women, the gender gap in coaching appears at the college level as well. A 2016 report from the University of Minnesota’s Tucker Center for Research on Girls and Women in Sport indicates that women coached only 35 percent of women’s Division I volleyball programs last fall, and only 41 percent of women’s programs overall. The most popular theory explaining the gender gap involves family: women traditionally take care of the house and kids, and therefore have less time to coach, especially if a coaching position supplements their primary job. Dr. Cruz-Stevens believes traditional gender roles steer women away from coaching positions. “Speaking as a professional, it’s hard to be able to coach and have additional responsibility if you’re the person that’s taking care of the kids,” she said. DiSalvo responded similarly, saying: “My time is limited, I’m not going to stay somewhere for ten, twenty years.” Tuitama also connected her personal and professional lives, saying that she’s single and has “all the time in
the world to coach.” Horn, however, doesn’t believe societal roles fully explain the gender gap. “Some of the argument is, women are having families, or they’re pursuing higher education … men do those same types of things,” she said. Horn and DiSalvo brought up other theories, like wage discrepancies between women and men, but neither could identify one predominant cause of the coaching gender gap. Though none of the coaches could explain why there are so few women coaching girls’ volleyball, they did all stress one idea: the importance of women on the sidelines, especially in their own sport. Though she has only coached at Blair for one season, Coburn believes she can not only build a competitive program, but also inspire her players off the court. “They don’t have a lot of positive role models,” she said of her players. “If I was a man, I wouldn’t be able to be that same kind of role model for them.” “I think it’s important to have a female coach in the mix,” said Tuitama. In her experience, she has found that women push girls harder in
practice than men do, and command respect easier as former players themselves. “Females that played high school can remember what it was like … and they can be a role model.” Cruz-Stevens believes women can connect with girls more effectively than men on the court. “I’m not sure men are necessarily in tune with what girls need … you need to address girls emotionally before you can push them to do anything athletically,” she said. And though she wants to build a successful program at Westridge, Horn finds positive leadership as important as winning. “I do try to find coaches that will play both roles,” she said, “a role model for our girls and also an exemplary coach.” Even though there are only three women volleyball head coaches in the city, all of them stand out amongst their peers: Tuitama with her success, DiSalvo with her outspokenness, and Coburn with an opportunity to turn around a losing program. But they also share challenges every day while coaching that their male peers don’t face themselves.

Three local schools advanced to the quarterfinals of the CIF playoffs, and now stand only three wins away from a championship. All games will begin on Friday at 7:30 P.M. Arcadia (9-2) at Quartz Hill (8-3) The Apaches head to Quartz Hill in the second round of the Division 11 playoffs after a comfortable 41-19 win at Oak Park. The Apaches feature a balanced offense that amassed over 500 yards in last week’s victory, hopeful for the school’s first semifinal appearance since 2011. Silverado (9-2) at La Salle (7-4) After picking up a road playoff win
last week at Mayfair, the Lancers host the Silverado Hawks in the second round of the Division 9 playoffs. La Salle will look to senior running back Amon Milliner to lead the offense at Kohorst Field. Win a win, the Lancers will advance to the semifinals for the first time since 2006. Polytechnic (11-0) at Aquinas (9-2) The undefeated Poly Panthers head to San Bernadino to face the second seeded Aquinas Falcons in the second round of the Division 10 playoffs.
