3 Monrovia Women Honored as ‘Unsung Heroines’
Julie Gentile – Councilmember Becky Shevlin, City of Monrovia, Martha Rund – Monrovia Historic Preservation Group (MOHPG) and Connie Garrison – Foothill Unity Center, Inc. were among the 21 women on the congresswoman Grace Napoloitano’s 2017 Women of the Year. Congresswoman Grace F. Napolitano honored the 2017 “Unsung Heroines,” Women of the Year for exemplary service at an awards ceremony at the Grace T. Black Auditorium in El Monte. “Out of the goodness of their hearts, these unsung heroines serve cities, schools, churches, nonprofits, and other organizations that are vital to our San Gabriel Valley communities,” Napolitano said. “They do so without expecting praise, which is why we attempt to recognize a few of the countless, deserving volunteers each year. We honor their selfless gifts of time, labor, and energy, and we thank all of their families who offer them support and encouragement.” 21 women received the award. Each woman’s name was submitted by her volunteer organization or community group that felt her contributions deserved special recognition. Napolitano gave out the awards and thanked the women personally.

We’ll start out this week with some potential good news for those bemoaning the loss of Parchment, the 400 block, west side, coffee shop that has seen several owners in the past few years. Hopefully we’ll know more next week, but for now all I can say is that a successful café owner from L.A. is seriously interested in the business, and his plans for expanded service sound exciting. Add to that the fact that he and his partner say they love the charm and the hometown feel of our Old Town – and, best yet, if they move forward, they plan to be an integral part of our collective success.

Pasadena Detectives Tie Shooting in January With Shooting in December 2016 Police Ask for Help From Community

dered. Detectives working the two cases have discovered evidence linking the two homicides, resulting in fresh leads and a composite sketch of a person believed involved in Douglas’ murder.

Michele Hanisee, president of the Association of Deputy District Attorneys will present an overview of the impact of Assembly Bill 109, and Propositions 47 and 57 at the City Council Meeting next week on May 2. As City Manager Oliver Chi wrote in his weekly update on April 18, “Perhaps
the most important element related to our overall plan for taking back our streets and our parks is to provide a mechanism through which our community can advocate for changes in State law that will restore local law enforcement authority to address quality-of-life crimes.” In the past few years, sev-
eral new laws have come into effect that have weakened and removed certain tools that law enforcement has been able to use in the past. Hanisee will make a presentation outlining the impact of these new laws and regulations at the council meeting. The council meets on Tuesday May 2 at 7:30 p.m.

Vacant House Registration Opens May 5 The Arcadia City Council adopted an Unoccupied Residence Registration Ordinance which will go into effect May 5. The Ordinance establishes regulations and registration requirements for unoccupied residences in the City of Arcadia. The purpose of the registry is to protect neighborhoods from the adverse effects of unoccupied residences that are not ad-
equately maintained and to be able to directly communicate with property owners or their designated agents when issues at their properties occur. The registry will provide the City with a reliable contact when issues such as property maintenance or health and safety matters arise at the residence. An unoccupied residence is a property that has
not been occupied for at least 30 days. Houses that are actively under construction, are in escrow to be sold or transferred, or are being actively marketed by an identified listing agent, will not be considered unoccupied.

Monrovia Community Services Recommends ‘Portland Loo’ as Solution By Susan Motander
For years the City Council has received complaints about the lack of restroom facilities at Julian Fisher Park. The park, on what was the playground of Huntington Elementary School, is located north of Huntington Drive between California and Canyon. With a large playground and multiple basketball courts, it is a popular recreation site, especially for families. Parents and other park users have long asked for restrooms at the park. One of the concerns about a restroom has been the security of such a facility. This justified concern
may be one of the reasons for the delay in establishing such a restroom. Recently, the Community Services Commission recommended the use of a prefabricated restroom known as the “Portland Loo.” There is a large homeless population in Portland, Oregon that prompted the restroom’s development. This stainless steel unit was developed in Portland to be functional and safe as possible. Read Full Length Article MonroviaWeekly.om

If that mother is disabled, it would make sense that she is unable to clean her home, and depending on her disabilities, may be why her place smells like urine. Judge not, until you have ACTUAL FACTS, at least. As far as the junk food, it is much cheaper than decent, wholesome food, which can be quite expensive, unless you know where to shop. People who are not well educated, tend to buy junk food. They may think they are well educated, and have college degrees, yet are quite stupid. I worked for a very wealthy doctor, who bought, and ate junk food. That is not even the worst of it, but I will not get into that here. If he is still alive, I would be quite shocked. I do not know anyone who could do what he did, and have a long life, doctor, or not. - Casey via Arcadia Weekly
Local Resident Says ‘Joannie Yuille Was a True Community Activist’
What a tremendous loss to the family and the Monrovia community in
particular. Joannie Yuille was a true community activist from a early age at Monrovia High school. Diminutive in size but powerful in her commitment to make Monrovia more inclusive for everyone in the community through various cultural events. Joannie responded to the words of Dr. King’ “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is ‘What are you doing for others” …. Joannie I really will miss that radiant smile and your deep commitment knowing any event that you were a part of would be a great success. - Ralph R. Walker via Monrovia Weekly

An Open Letter to the Monrovia Community As you may have heard by now, on the evening of Saturday, April 22, 2017, there was a violent and tragic shooting at 134 West Cypress Street in Monrovia. The incident left one 18-year-old Monrovia resident dead, and another 17-year-old resident of unincorporated Monrovia in critical condition. Additionally, we are aware at this time that both of the shooting victims were Monrovia Unified School District students, and our thoughts and prayers are with their families at this time. Given the active investigation that is ongoing, there are few details about the shooting that the City can share. However, we are aware that this violent incident has inspired a great deal of speculation, which has resulted in the spread of inaccurate information being distributed in the news and across social media about gang crimes occurring in our City and region. To that end, we wanted to provide some factual information about the context for this incident and details about the City’s substantial and continuing efforts to curb gang violence in our community. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact City Manager Oliver Chi (626-932-5501, ochi@ci.monrovia.ca.us Read Full Length Letter at MonroviaWeekly.com (Opinion>Letters to Editor)

He added that witnesses had reported that a suspect, a male Hispanic in his 20, fled from the location on foot. He also said the victim who died was not known to be a member of a gang. Hunt said, that as the matter involved a homicide, the investigation had been turned over to the Sheriff Department and at their request he could release no further information. A representative of the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office did release the identity of the victim who died. He is 18 years old Oscar Andrew
Garcia. The Chief did explain that Cypress is the first street south of Huntington Drive. The house at which the shooting took place, is on the south side. Behind the house is an alley. The garage at which the shooting took place opens onto the alley. On the opposite side of the alley is Southeast Concrete. The alley dead ends at this area. It appears that some of the witnesses, who requested anonymity, reported that the suspect entered through the alley with the shooting taking place in the garage.

Old Town Continued from page 1
owners are involved owners, so I’m crossing my fingers! Last week we had a meeting of involved Old Town business owners to discuss the rumored move of our Street Fair to Library Park and surrounds. Prior to the meeting, we got some clarification from our City Manager about exactly what streets would be closed to through traffic should the move take place. The plan, if it is implemented, is to have Myrtle Avenue closed to traffic at Lime (with a right turn allowed on E. Lime), closing off at least the 300 block of Myrtle to through traffic as well as some of the surrounding side streets. None of those present were in favor of the move, and a couple not present had the same views presented on their behalf either verbally or by letter. Hopefully there will be outreach to the Old Town Merchants in the near future. At the same gathering, Old Town’s Keely Millikan passed out flyers for all of the stores with information on the upcoming Monrovia Days event in Library Park on May 20th and 21st. This event is brought to us via a partnership between the City of Monrovia, the Monrovia Unified School District, and Centre Stage. Events will kick off at 8 a.m. on Saturday with a Pancake Breakfast and continue with a 10 a.m. parade on Myrtle and an 11 a.m. opening of the Carnival, Beer Garden, and all the other events. I’ve said before I really like the Dunk Tank and the Pie Eating Contest. Now, in addition to a possible new café in the 400 block, we are anticipating the opening of The Attic
Pasadena Sierra Madre Monrovia
Events and Home Treasures (and if I messed up on the name, apologies……still waiting for the sign!). From my discussions with our Planning Department, it appears that this new business which will be opening at 302 S. Myrtle (where Knot Too Shabby used to be) may be similar to its predecessor, but it’s hard to tell from just the description on the business application, so we’ll see… I was happy to see that 38 Degrees on E. Colorado will be getting a couple of signs (finally) to identify the popular restaurant/bar. Sometime after they first opened their signature “38” sign was stolen and since then they have been minus an identifying sign. This week they are on the agenda for the Design and Review Committee to approve a building wall sign as well as a projected wall sign. And – if you peak in the windows of the Copper Still Grill (used to be Sam’s Kabob Room) in the 600 block of S. Myrtle, you’ll see some pretty classy digs! The projected opening date is sometime in May – can’t wait to finally have an open business in that long-empty location! Cinco de Mayo is next week already, and Rudy is working with the Ballet Folklorico who, if we can find space near his Rudy’s Mexican Restaurant on that Friday night, will perform for the crowds. I’ll keep you posted... And don’t forget the MFD’s Pancake breakfast on Saturday, May 13 on E. Lemon. Glad to see them bring back this great family event!

Monrovia High School Students Perform On A Noise Within’s Stage By May S. Ruiz Tuesday night, April 25th, 23 drama students from Monrovia High School (MHS) put on a production of Shakespeare’s ‘King Lear’ at A Noise Within (ANW) in Pasadena. The partnership was a first for both the high school and the classical theatre company. Nathanael Overby, MHS drama teacher who came on board in 2012 and was responsible for expanding the school’s drama department, advanced the partnership with ANW. He states, “A Noise Within clearly takes a unique approach to theatre – they have a quality and creativity unequaled by other profes-
sional groups. That was something I wanted my students to emulate.” “We have been performing on our stage, which is quite impressive, but being on a professional stage would be an exciting experience for my students,” continues Overby. “ I wrote a proposal to partner with ANW and discussed it with Patrick Garcia, the director of performing arts for the Monrovia Unified School District, who reached out to ANW. Then I began working with Alicia Green, the director of Education and Community Outreach at ANW.” Concurs Green, “The
director, Patrick, and I came together to discuss the proposed partnership and we decided to do ‘Lear’ as it worked best for the school and us. From the outset Nate and I worked to ensure students had a great experience and understood what it takes to do a show in a professional space.” Overby adds, “This partnership is so much more than the students being able to perform ‘King Lear’. We were able to join ANW’s cast for their table read of ‘Lear’ and we watched ANW actors perform it on stage. This gave my students the opportunity to join
a professional cast on their journey on a production – to experience what it’s like to put on a professional show by observing ANW’s cast at several different points in their process.” It was truly a student production as Green states, “Other than providing one tech person who helped set up the lights/sound they needed, their technical director and students ran all of the technical elements and stage managed the show. They made the space their own!” “We are constantly looking for ways to engage students in the world of clas-
sical theatre,” Green says. “Equitable access is of key importance, and we continue to grow and develop our education program through attendance at student matinees and evening/weekend performances, in-school residencies and workshops, full-school partnership programs, preshow engagement activities, post-show conversations with the artists and our free study guides. Ideally, every student would have the opportunity to participate in some way with our programing to enhance their education!” ‘King Lear’ was the capstone to a great year for the
school’s drama students. And what better venue to fully realize the essence of one of Shakespeare’s most celebrated works than in Pasadena’s premier classical theatre company. Indeed it was a dream come true for these Monrovia High School students. How propos that their performance took place towards the end of A Noise Within’s own season they called ‘Beyond our Wildest Dreams’. Read Full Length Article MonroviaWeekly.om
Pasadena Unified Schools Receive U.S. News & World Report Silver Medals Named Honor Roll Schools by the Campaign for Business and Education Excellence
Two Pasadena Unified School District campuses have won U.S. News & World Report silver medals as part the magazine’s 2017 Best High Schools ranking, and another five have been named Honor Roll schools by a national campaign of business and education leaders. Marshall Fundamen-
tal Secondary School and Pasadena High School have received silver medals from U.S. News & World Report’s annual Best High Schools ranking, which highlights topperforming public schools. Rankings are based on student achievement and college readiness data, including Advanced Placement test partici-
pation and passage rates. Don Benito Fundamental, Hamilton Elementary, Webster Elementary, Marshall Fundamental and Pasadena High School have been selected as Honor Roll Schools by the Educational Results Partnership (ERP) and its Campaign for Business and Education Excellence
(CBEE), an alliance of California business and academic leaders. Schools receiving the honor roll distinction have demonstrated consistent high levels of student academic achievement, improvement in achievement levels over time, and reduction in achievement gaps among student populations.
For high schools, the honor roll recognition also includes measures of college readiness. “Congratulations to the students, faculty and staff, and families of these schools,” said Superintendent Brian McDonald. “These awards recognize schools that have consistently demonstrated
improvement and high levels of student achievement so that our graduates are ready for success in college and careers.” Read Full Length Article

Classic Kickboxing
I
t’s official—we’re well into our second quarter of 2017. For those struggling with their resolution to get in shape this year, Classic Kickboxing in Pasadena is in your corner. This professional gym got its start in 2002 when founder and head instructor Mauricio Gonzalez decided to share his fighting expertise with anyone willing to learn. Now tremendously wellregarded in the professional fighting community, Gonzalez began to master the sport early in life.
By Emily G. Peters “I was born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia,” said Gonzalez. “Back then it was important to know how to fight, so at a young age in 1979 I began training and competing.” Not one to be limited, Gonzalez also trained and competed in taekwondo and Muay Thai—the latter of which also happens to be taught at Classic Kickboxing. Unlike other studios, the gym tailors its classes to athletes of any skill level, from novices to professional fighters. Regardless of each student’s experience, one thing is certain:
they’re in for a killer workout. “Teaching boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai makes me happy,” said Gonzalez. “It gives me the ability to see our students learning, progressing and living healthier, more active lives.” The training is, to quote one of Classic Kickboxing’s reviewers, “addicting.” Students can develop a custom-made training program to suit their strengths and weaknesses or join group classes to perfect their sparring, speed and agility as fighters. For its main classes, the studio offers two
categories: the eponymous “Classic” training and the “Elite” training programs. “The Classic Training Program is centered on boot camp-style kickboxing classes, and all experience and fitness levels are welcome,” said Gonzalez. “The Elite Training Program is dedicated to developing technique and taking students’ skills to the next level.” Both programs push students to their physical limits to help them “get in the best shape of their life.” The pedigree of the instructors is notable. Students
seeking world-class training will not be disappointed in Gonzalez and his staff oncoaches. “I’ve won multiple distinguished titles throughout my career, including two-time Colombian National Taekwondo Champion, two-time Colombian National Kickboxing Champion, U.S. National Kickboxing Champion and U.S. Muay Thai Champion,” explained Gonzalez. “Our coaches are former Olympian athletes, national champions and world champions.” Classic Kickboxing holds
its classes in an atmospheric 6,000 square-foot studio, filled with natural light and views of Old Town Pasadena. Students train in a regulationsized boxing ring (from Million Dollar Baby!) If you’re ready to train like a fighter, Classic Kickboxing is located on the second floor of 91 E. Union Street in Old Town Pasadena. Contact them at 626.796.6387 Read the Full Length Version Online

Correction: In last week’s edition, the story ‘Congresswoman’s Recent Info Meeting Turns Ugly’ contained some misrepresentation. The first version inadvertently contained some Grace Napolitano quotes that were given to SGVN reporter Chris Yee in their online edition and we misguidedly used that copy for reference which subsequently ended up in our story in an editorial oversight. I would like to personally express regret to the SGVN News Group and Chris Yee for the oversight. Terry Miller

Joannie Yuille Remembered
oannie Yuille passed away on April 18th, just days before she was scheduled to be the keynote speaker at the Monrovia Area Partnership conference. She was born Joannie Marie Gholar on March 13, 1953 She has always been a dynamo and lived her life to the fullest. A member of the Bahá’í faith she lived her faith. A tenet of that faith is a belief in the oneness of humanity and freedom from prejudice. She worked for that everyday of her life. At Monrovia High School she took part in many student activites serving as the president of the Associated Student Body. Part of what makes this extraordinary is that she was the first AfricanAmerican Woman and in 1970-71 there was still racial tension at the school. She did not focus on that, but rather on all the positive aspects of the school. Last Saturday, in lieu of her keynote speech at the MAP conference, her children shared memories of their mother and explained the value she lived by and taught them. Many of those in attendance were visably move by the tribute. When asked for a few words about Yuille, City Council Member Larry Spicer, who has known her since high school remembered by recalling a thought she shared with him often: "My religion profession and volunteerism reflect my desire to bring people from diverse backgrounds together in harmony. "We need to all take up the banner of the African proverb: ‘It takes a village by being productive members of the village.’" After the luncheon Saturday, many of those attending shared their personal remembrances of the woman. Several recalled that after the last presidential election, she

opened her home to those disturbed by the results and concerned about the future. On her Facebook page, Karen Olin Darling wrote, of Joannie: “I feel so humbly honored to have striven to collaborate as an educator alongside Joannie Gholar Yuille, first in Los Angeles, then nationally through the Core Curriculum for Spiritual Education program, and then for years as Joannie and her family traveled from California, while Joannie served as director for Camp Louhelen at Louhelen Baha'i School in Michigan, where I lived for 8 years. I am so happy that my own children, my grandchildren and many, many young people that I have loved over the years, had the precious
gift of learning from ‘Mrs. Yuille.’” One of those who worked closely with Yuille for the past several years, Sheila Spicer-Batiste wrote eloquently of the life of her friend. Her words follow this remembrance. Services of Yuille will be held on Saturday, April 29th at the Sky Rose Chapel in Rose Hills Memorial Park, Whittier at 9:00. Last Saturday her children urged those planning to attend to arrive at 8:30 to share memories of Joannie. A graveside service will follow the service at the chapel with a repast after starting at 1:30 at Monrovia High School. On Facebook, her nephew Nick Gholar wrote: “If you can't make the celebration of life next Saturday...wake up that morning and pray for comfort, strength and peace for the attendees.” In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Pulmonary Hypertension Association: https://www.phassociation.org/Donate/Information Baha’is’ should donate to the Baha’i’ fund of their choosing.

Pasadena High Baseball Drops First Game of Series to Glendale By Fredy Ramirez
The Pasadena Bulldogs dropped the first game against Glendale in Pacific League play Tuesday at Glendale. The Bulldogs’ backs were against the wall for most of the game. They allowed two hits in the first inning but were able to escape unharmed. The second inning was rough as few base hits and throwing errors cost them. Glendale was able to score three runs in the inning to take a commanding three to nothing lead. However, Pasadena wasn’t defeated yet. A one out walk got the rally going for the Bulldogs in the
top of the third. It was followed by a double by Sophomore Christian Zambrano and a two out walk to load the bases. With the bases loaded and two outs Junior Alvie Castro hit a single down the left field line scoring two runs. Pasadena was able to slow down Glendale’s offense in the third and managed to score another run in the fourth to tie the The Pasadena Bulldogs dropped the first game against Glendale.
game at three apiece. However, Glendale would score a run in the fourth inning, which would end up being the deciding factor in the game. The Bulldogs couldn’t score for the rest of the game and after a four-run inning in the fifth, Glendale had the game won. The Bulldogs collected three runs on 13 hits but it wasn’t enough to overcome Glendale’s 8 run game. Pasadena will continue league play and hosts Glendale at home Friday April 28 - Courtesy photo in the final game of the series.
