A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A PASADENA POLICE OFFICER

Split second evaluations are critical in keeping the peace Story & Photos Terry MILLER tmiller@beaconmedianews.com

n Monday morning, this reporter and several local news colleagues were invited to the Pasadena Police Weapons Training Facility on Eaton Canyon Drive, for a four-hour crash course in understanding what peace officers face when making a traffic stop or go out on a ‘routine’

call. It was an exacting and poignant experience. The tactics Pasadena Police use are critical in understanding just how precarious law enforcement jobs can be and how quickly a seemingly routine incident can become volatile. Interim Pasadena Police Chief John Perez addressed the small class of local journalists assembled in a training classroom Monday to SEE LIFE OF POLICE PAGE 10

Training officers Sgt. Mike Gligorijevic and Sgt. Anthony Russo show ‘green’ journalists what it is like for a Pasadena police officer on a call where non-lethal force may be used.

hapCare has become a staple in the San Gabriel Valley as an innovative, comprehensive, and high quality regional health center network. Although ChapCare has achieved countless accomplishments, such as becoming one of the first health centers in Los Angeles County to implement electronic health records, ChapCare has a vision of accomplishing much more. “We would like to make health management seamless, convenient, and effective with the use of technology and partnerships,” said ChapCare CEO,

Margaret B. Martinez, MPH, who has been with the organization for 19 years. “We want to become more than just a medical provider; we want to help our patients manage their health outside of the patient room.” Martinez said that one of the ways they plan to accomplish that is by enhancing the use mobile devices to serve as health & wellness navigators. “We want our patients to have access to information on their phone that will empower them and promote proactive behavior.” Another way ChapCare is hoping to help their patients with health & wellness is by addressing the external factors that affects one’s health.

It’s asking the family “how do you manage this in your everyday life? Then helping them modify something at their home, acquire something, or link them up with someone else who can get them that. It’s health collaboration.” ChapCare recognized its achievements, looked at where it is now, and shared its future plans at its recent 20th anniversary event that took place on Saturday, April 21, 2018. The event was held at its Lincoln health center in Pasadena, and included keynote speakers Chris Holden, Assemblymember, and Dr. Nathan Lewis, M.D., a ChapCare Founding Board Member. NBC 4 Investigative Reporter, Lolita Lopez, served as Master of Ceremony for the event.

How to Sell High: Avoid these Three Mistakes When Selling Your Home Alhambra - When you decide to sell your home, setting your optimal asking price is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Price is often the first thing a prospective buyer sees, and many homes are passed over as “not in our price range” before the home even has a chance of being shown. Your asking price is often your home’s “first impression,” and if you want to realize the most money you can for your home, it’s imperative that you make an excellent first impression. This is not as easy as it sounds,

and pricing strategy should not be taken lightly. Pricing too high can be as costly to a homeseller as pricing too low. Comparing against what other homes in your neighborhood have sold for is only a small part of the process, and by itself is not nearly enough to help you make the best decision. A recently study, which compiles 10 years of industry research, has resulted in a new special report entitled “Homesellers: How to Get the Price You Want (and Need).” This report will help you understand pricing strategy from three

Pasadena Playhouse’s “Belleville” A Hit With Theatre Enthusiasts May s. ruiz MayChu@att.net

nna Camp and Thomas Sadoski performed to an appreciative and intent audience this past Sunday when Amy Herzog’s psychological thriller “Belleville” opened at the Pasadena Playhouse. Directed by Jenna Worsham, Camp and Sadoski played a young American couple living in a Bohemian neighborhood in Paris called Belleville. It began as Camp’s character, Abby, came home unexpectedly one afternoon and heard her husband Zack, played by Sadoski, watching porn in their bedroom This seemingly harmless incident quickly turned into a catastrophic event, as one revelation after another of secrets Abby and Zack had hidden from each other were exposed. Slowly their real identities were unmasked and each of them was surprised to learn they didn’t really know the person they married. The audience watched the intense interplay between the two charac-

ters with such concentration one could hear a pin drop. With no intermission to break the intensity, we didn’t have so much as time to catch our breath. When the play finally came to an end, about a hundred minutes later, we were almost as finally relieved as we were utterly devastated. Belleville” was indeed a Hitchockian thriller of a play. Director and actors did not disappoint. Camp and Sadoski kept up the tension right up to its conclusion. And an appreciative audience showed

their approval with a rousing standing ovation when the lights turned down. Both Camp and Sadoski enjoy a loyal following and their fans must have come out to support them. Last Sunday’s performance attracted noticeably young theatergoers. It was a stroke of genius that the Playhouse’s Producing Artistic Director, Danny Feldman, chose to mount a play about millennials. And it certainly didn’t hurt that Anna Camp and Thomas Sadoski starred in it. Well done, all!

Fran syverson, GUEST CONTRIBUTOR

ou might expect the story of a Russian-Jewish immigrant to be a somber tale of the struggle to become a citizen of a free land. Instead, you’ll find a hilarious story of the frustrations and perplexities, the joys and contentment when you see The Immigrant now at the Sierra Madre Playhouse. What is it like to be a stranger in a strange land? Haskell Harelik pushes his banana cart and, exhausted, stops before the Perrys’ home. All he wants is a

drink of water. How hard is that to convey to the folks there? Plenty hard, it turns out, when you speak only Yiddish. After much gesticulating, Ima Perry finally realizes it’s water that Haskell wants. Haskell has fled from Russian and has planted himself in a small Texas hamlet in an agricultural area. He is eking out a bare living selling bananas. The Perrys find themselves taking Haskell in—temporarily—just until he gets on his feet. Ima empathizes with him, but her husband is much more resistant. Then later Milton Perry—almost

unintentionally—even mentors Haskell in the ways to grow his business. Haskell’s wife unexpectedly arrives—at least unexpectedly to the Perrys. Far from assimilating into her new world, Leah longs to be where she can raise children in the Jewish tradition. Not only are the customs and language from home different, but also the religion. They are the only Jews in Hamilton. Read More at, ArcadiaWeekly.com, MonroviaWeekly.com, PasadenaIndependent.com

A Noise Within’s ‘Noises Off’ Has Audiences in Stitches May s. ruiz MayChu@att.net

magine a hapless group of actors gamely putting on a production aptly titled ‘Nothing On,’ from an abysmal material as each of their personal drama gets in the way and you have one screwball of a play that is as insanely hilarious as it is eerily true to life. This is Michel Frayn’s joyfully out-of-control British farce, ‘Noises Off,’ and will be on stage as at A Noise Within (ANW) from Saturday, April 21 to Sunday, May 20, 2018. Directed by Julia RodriguezElliott and Geoff Elliott, it features most of the original cast from the play’s previous productions. “‘Noises Off’ is truly one of our signature productions, with audience members returning to see it two or more times,” says Elliott. Rodriguez-Elliott adds, “Everything about the deft physical and verbal interplay between actors is ideal for our focus on ensemble work.” First produced by ANW in their Glendale location, it was so hugely popular that they brought it back another year. When they moved to Pasadena they presented it during their first season as an add-on production on a limited run. Continues RodriguezElliott, “It’s been about six or seven years since we last did it. For our 25th year anniversary, just for fun, we asked people what shows we had done that they would like to see again and ‘Noises Off’ got the most votes. “It is one the funniest farce, if not the funniest, ever written,” pronounces Elliott. “It’s a love letter to the theatre because it’s essentially about all of the things that can go wrong when people are trying to put a production together.

‘Noises Off’ ensemble. - Courtesy photo / Craig Schwartz

For actors it’s especially close to the heart because we’ve all gone through some version of it. Michael Frayn is so brilliant in creating comic timing and sidesplitting situations. It’s really a work of genius.” “It’s a repertory group rehearsing a play that’s about to open the next night and they’re not ready,” explains Rodriguez-Elliott. “In the first act we’re observing the colorful characters who are part of a company – there’s one actor who isn’t terribly bright, one who has a temper, another is an alcoholic who gets lost and they can’t find him. In the second act, the set turns and you’re watching them in a performance of ‘Nothing On’ from the backstage perspective so you see them as they make their entrance.” “This is happening as they’re in the middle of the tour,” Elliott interjects. “By the second act they’ve been together for about a month and half. Everything that could possibly go awry, as personalities clash, has gone awry. The two leads are having an affair and one of them refuses to go on stage and it gets worse from there. It’s just insane!” Rodriguez-Elliott continues, “By the third act, when the set is turned once more to the front, it’s hell in a handbasket. They’ve been touring for six months and by then some of them aren’t talking

to each other so it becomes another whole new level of disaster. The play they’re in is terrible and they are nobly putting on a show that doesn’t even make sense. But they’re trying hard to make it work and are truly investing in it. There’s this one character who’s not the sharpest tool in the shed and even when the world is exploding she’s still going on with what she has rehearsed.” “One of the reasons I think this was a very popular production is that we really concentrated on finding the honesty, the authenticity of the situations theatre people work in,” clarifies Elliott. “We didn’t approach it as a send-up. It’s not only incredibly funny but we have sympathy for all of them. We recognize these people, the drama and the group dynamics that we’ve all been a part of. You can feel the joy in the room because the actors are having fun and the audience is in it with them. The actors themselves are laughing when they get backstage because of the wonderfully infectious audience reaction.” It is the contagious feeling and exuberant spirit that audiences experience that make ‘Noises Off’ as uproariously brilliant as it is unabashedly zany. Prepare to laugh till your sides hurt.

LIFE OF POLICE OPINION Columnist | sierramadretattler@gmail.com Continued From Page 1

describe, in detail, how police use-of-force procedures and policy has changed over the years, and how police officers must make multiple crucial decisions precipitously for any given situation and deal with multiple scenarios. Officers are taught from the outset, that use of deadly force is a last resort. There are numerous options available like OC Pepper Spray, Taser, 40mm, and Baton. However, when a suspect appears to be reaching for a weapon and is non-compliant with the officer’s commands, the situation changes at an alarmingly rapid clip. The hands-on and virtual scenarios we experienced involved just that, making rapid decisions at a moment’s notice while carrying heavy equipment including a Taser, pepper-spray, and communications equipment, which included a body camera and a service revolver. Keep in mind that when an on-duty officer is in the field he/she will also be wearing a lot more equipment, a safety vest and other equipment such as extra clips, handcuffs, a baton and many other items that are heavy and cumber-

some. We learned that making multiple decisions and assessing the situation when approaching any suspect is far more complex than anyone could possibly imagine. After reviewing the policy and procedures, officers played some extremely disturbing videos where law enforcement officers faced gunfire when least expected. The reaction time varies but essentially, a spilt second decision could mean the difference between life and death. In my first simulated experience in the training room, I was partnered with

Lisa Derderian, Pasadena’s Interim PIO. Derderian and I were the ‘officers’ on a call regarding a male with a knife acting suspiciously. Derderian and I were both attacked by the suspect because we didn’t react quickly enough nor take appropriate cover when confronting the male suspect. The whole scenario took mere seconds and we lost our lives. Its exercises like this that really open your eyes to what law enforcement officers face every time they go on a call. Luckily, I lived to tell the tale. Not everyone is so lucky. Recent negative publicity of law enforcement throughout the nation has spawned distrust of many law enforcement agencies, and Pasadena is no exception. With the departure of Phillip Sanchez as chief, Interim Chief John E. Perez is steering the department into new waters and hopes to change public perception and hone a more community oriented police force that the city can trust implicitly. In next week’s issue, we’ll delve into more aspects of how Pasadena police operate and investigate officer involved shootings, the use of Tasers and much more.

A Tale of Two Cities: Sierra Madre and Arcadia It used to be that Sierra Madre was the lawless lands when it came to politics. There were more wild and crazy controversies, fights, feuds, and general mayhem found in The Foothill Village than just about anywhere else on the planet. It was from those days that The Tattler first found its place in our little world, and all of that controversy had sustained this blog for nearly a decade. Trust me, I was always very grateful. There was a lot to write about. But obviously those days are now in the past. Last night Denise Delmar was

made the Mayor of Sierra Madre in about as peaceful and untroubled a manner as you would ever hope to see. The only thing that was even close to a controversy was who would become the next Mayor Pro Tem, with John Harabedian and John Capoccia struggling over who could hand the honor to the other guy the most. Eventually Capoccia won and Harabedian was convinced to accept the honor. After which everyone went out into the City Hall foyer to enjoy some cake and soda. Things were the very opposite Tuesday evening in

Arcadia where no Mayor was chosen at all, and won't be until after a 45 day "cooling off period" has taken place. The problem being that the current Mayor Pro Tem, the controversial though next in line Sho Tay, is now faced with both the consequences of a rather unfortunate Brown Act violation, plus an ongoing two count FPPC investigation into his having possibly run a crooked political campaign.

according to the National Park Service, and it was mostrecently featured in the 2016 Oscar-nominated film “La La Land.” But, in the 103 years in between, the bridge has been tarnished by infamy – infamy that spawned the unfortunate nickname: “Suicide Bridge.” Per the National Park Service, the first person leapt from the bridge in 1919 and, with the onset of the Great Depression a decade later, many more followed. Last summer, a burst of multiple suicides and suicide attempts prompted Ara Maloyan, director of public works, to assemble a task force to address the “alarming trend.” The city also installed temporary prevention measures, including 10-foot-

tall fencing at all 20 benched alcoves and wrought iron fencing at all four corners of the bridge. Despite the measures, the bridge has various features where individuals can position themselves to jump. Prior to the installation of the temporary fencing, the existing vertical barrier did not span the length of the 20 benched alcoves or the four corners of the bridge. The existing vertical barrier itself also has some flaws - the original four-foot balusters provide a foothold for those attempting to climb, and, once on the foothold, the barrier’s horizontal railing allows climbers to hoist themselves over the top. “Any healthy individual can accomplish this,” said Maloyan. Maloyan also revealed that since the installation of the

temporary measures, no one has successfully jumped from the alcoves, but two individuals have still managed to climb the existing vertical barrier. The task force, which had to delicately balance the preservation of the bridge’s historic architecture with functional deterrence measures, held several meetings with the community over the course of the past year. Based on feedback and discussion, the task force concluded that improved vertical barriers and end treatments were the best solutions, as they are the only “measures that physically prevent attempts from occurring.”

Monrovia Unified Blood Drives Held for Student Athlete Diagnosed with Leukemia More than 220 students, teachers, and community members have stepped up to donate blood during a drive benefitting Monrovia High School student-athlete James Speranta, who is facing an unexpected battle against leukemia. Speranta is a member of Monrovia High’s swim and water polo teams and San Gabriel Men’s Water Polo Club, and regularly trains at the local Fitness Factor gym. All of his sports and physical activities came to a halt on March 16 when he was diagnosed with leukemia. Nicola Speranta noticed her son was looking pale after strenuous activity in early March. She took him to the local doctor on March 13. After checking his vitals and blood levels, his hemoglobin level was about a third of what would be normal, signs his body was struggling to transport oxygen in his blood. They were sent to emergency and then sent to Miller Children’s Hospital in Long Beach. James Speranta was given three bags of blood to stabilize his condition and

lower his heart rate. A bone marrow sample revealed on March 19 he was facing childhood leukemia. James Speranta underwent intensive 28-day chemotherapy treatments at Miller Children’s Hospital, where he stayed in the hematology/ oncology ward so doctors can monitor his progress in a sterile environment. Monrovia High students, teachers, and staff recorded encouraging messages, which they sent to James to view and listen to while he was hospitalized. James Speranta was recently sent home to continue with follow-up treatments at City of Hope for

another year or more, depending on how well he recovers. He will be home schooled during this time. Donations from Monrovia High’s blood drive went to City of Hope to help Speranta and other leukemia and cancer patients in need. Each pint of blood will help up to three people because the blood platelets, plasma, and blood cells will be used from each donation. Another blood drive will be held in support of James Speranta on June 2 at Clifton Middle School from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., hosted by Monrovia Unified, the James Speranta Foundation, and Red Cross.

Arcadia High School Students Spring Into AP Exam Season Sarah WANG sarahwang823@gmail.com

For many people around the world, May is a time of flowers, fresh spring, and possibly allergies; for many American high school students, May is a time of studying, stress, and anxiety: AP testing. The Advanced Placement (AP) program is an academically rigorous curriculum offered by nonprofit standardized testing administrator College Board to students who wish to challenge themselves with college-level courses. Although the curriculum itself may be rewarding, the 3 to 4-hour AP exams can be expensive, emotionally and physically draining, and require months of intensive preparation. So why do nearly 3 million students take the AP exam each year? First, the standardized nature of the AP exam allows students to demonstrate their proficiency in a subject in which the school-offered class was particularly difficult or unreasonable. Just ask Arcadia High School (AHS) junior Tiffany Liang, who encountered a notori-

ously difficult AP Biology teacher last year. “Even though I didn’t earn an A both semesters last year,” she explains, “I was able to prove my biology knowledge by earning a 4, or ‘well qualified’, on the AP exam.” Second, depending on their college of choice, students can earn academic and elective credit for earning a passing score of a 3 (out of 5) or above. Although Arcadia High School charged $110 per exam this year ($25 more than College Board’s $85 rebated exam price), qualifying students are more than willing to pay what is now a small price in order to save thousands in college tuition fees. Plus, with AHS’ 60% AP participation rate and 88% AP pass rate, students can rest assured that they can lean on the experience of many teachers and peers for help and advice on taking the test successfully. Finally, AP exams provide students with an opportunity to learn curriculum that is not offered by their school. Arcadia High School offers an impressive variety of AP classes, but for its high-achieving students,

20+ options are simply not enough. Arcadia High junior Ashley Lee is a prime example of AHS’ ambitious scholars. In addition to taking three APs during the school day, she is also planning to take two additional AP exams this May because “there simply isn’t enough room in my schedule to take all the classes I’m interested in” she laughs. She continues, “Taking five AP tests can be extremely difficult, but for me, it’s a way of trying new things and exploring subjects that I might like to pursue in the future.” AP testing can undoubtedly be a daunting experience for any high school student, but with the right amount of persistence, diligence, and focus, earning a perfect 5 is most definitely within reach. As any experienced student knows, the trick lies not simply in test prep books and tutoring centers, but in working hard from the start, wise time management, and taking full advantage of the resources offered by one’s school, teachers, and peers. Happy studying and best of luck to this year’s AP examtakers!

Arcadia Realtors: Trust over Trends: Finding Fashion at Elisa B. California Home Sales Tick Higher in March

emily g. peters emilygpeters@gmail.com

ashion boutique owner Elisa Bruley is a woman on the move. Fresh from a buying jaunt to Italy, last weekend she headed off to Coachella for a weekend with the reigning Queen Bey. That same spirit of variation is evident in her shop, Elisa B.—serving looks that could be worn everywhere from Milan to the desert to a casual afternoon strolling about Old Town Pasadena. Not necessarily identifying as a fashionista herself, Bruley prefers to spotlight her retail expertise in how women want to look and feel in their clothes. Indeed, her own entree into fashion didn’t start with flipping through magazines, but through her mother’s job at a coat and suit factory in downtown Los Angeles. “She’s the one who taught me how to sew—it’s from her that I learned the finer points of tailoring, construction and all the good stuff about what goes into creating beautiful garments,” said Bruley. “My

mom would see pretty dresses on a rack, create the patterns and make beautiful dresses, back when department stores were nice. That’s where I learned my love of retail and shopping. It’s in my DNA.” Unsurprisingly, Elisa B. is somewhat evocative of those bygone days of retail elegance. Instead of cavernous racks of merchandise, the boutique is bright, spacious and wellstocked with special pieces from designers like Alexander Wang, Rachel Zoe, Shoshanna and many others. Service also reigns supreme here—something of notable importance to Bruley. “I’ve worked hard over the years to know my clientele really well. I’m able to bring the brands that they want and

the looks that they want along with our customer service, which is the whole purpose,” she said. “Our approach is very personal and genuine. I place a high premium with my staff developing relationships with our clients.” Together, the Elisa B. team skillfully navigates client and popular tastes. And when it comes to defining one’s personal style, Bruley values trust over trends. “Trust your instincts. Always. And I have to remind myself constantly about that,” she said. “A sales rep might tell me a certain look is blowing up at Barney’s, but I have to trust my sensibilities. If you feel good, and you look good, it doesn’t matter what the trends are or what people

comment on. It’s all about going with your gut.” With more than twenty years in business, Bruley has braved storms of self-employment and shifting styles. Pushed out of her longtime location on Colorado Boulevard after two decades, a recent year-long break gave her the chance to reevaluate her vision for Elisa B. Luckily for local fashion lovers, she stuck with it—and returned to the Shops on Holly stronger than ever. “Holly has been a much more palatable situation, among like-minded independent business owners who care about the success of your business and not just their own,” said Bruley. “I really had to ask myself if this is really what I want to do with my life—and there is nothing more that I love than this.” Elisa B. is located at 16 East Holly Street in Old Town Pasadena.

California’s housing market continued its momentum as seasonally adjusted, existing home sales rose both month to month and year to year in March, while the statewide median price accelerated to an eight-month high, the Arcadia Association of REALTORS® said today. Closed escrow sales of existing, single-family detached homes in California totaled a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 423,990 units in March, according to information collected by the California Association of REALTORS® from more than 90 local REALTOR® associations and MLSs statewide. The statewide annualized sales figure represents what would be the total number of homes sold during 2018 if sales maintained the March pace throughout the year. It is adjusted to account for seasonal factors that typically influence home sales. March’s sales figure was up 0.3 percent from the 422,910 level in February

and up 1.6 percent compared with home sales in March 2017 of a revised 417,380. The year-to-year increase was slightly stronger than the six-month average sales growth of -0.1 percent recorded between September 2017 to February 2018. Home prices maintained their strong growth across California, with the statewide median price jumping 8.1 percent in March to reach $564,830, up from a revised $522,440 in February and rising 8.9 percent from a revised $518,600 in March 2017. The March 2018 California median home price was the highest since August 2017, and the year-over-year gain was the largest since January 2016. The marked price increase was partly due to a shift in sales to high cost regions and robust price growth within the high cost areas such as San Francisco, Marin, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties. The yearover-year price gain has been growing at or above 7 percent for nine of the past ten months.

Recycle Used Oil & Filters! Do you change your car’s motor oil? Did you know that used motor oil and oil filters are recyclable? Used oil can be re-refined or processed into new motor oil. Currently only 46% of used motor oil is being recycled, which means 20 million gallons may be illegally entering California’s waterways via stormwater systems, posing a great risk to the environment. One gallon of used oil can contaminate a million gallons of drinking water; polluting our waterways and threatening fish and aquatic life. Prevent pollution; recycle used motor oil and filters!

Mono County is Calling and I’m Listening

Travel

Greg aragon gregsgetawaytravel@gmail.com

ono County is not only home to one of the most iconic lakes in the world, the region also boasts exciting outdoor adventures, a legendary ghost town, oneof-a-kind basalt towers, a rare waterfall, and more. With these attractions in mind, I am currently planning a getaway to the area for late spring / early summer. I think it should take about a week to drive to the area and see the destinations I want. As I look forward to the journey, I would like share some of what I have in mind. The first spot on my itinerary is Mono Lake. Located just east of Yosemite National Park, the lake and the town of Lee Vining, which sits on its western shore, have been the backdrop for numerous films, standing in for the Old West, alien planets and the Himalaya in films like Tom Cruise’s Oblivion, Star Trek IX, True Grit and Indiana Jones and the Temple of

HEALTH Doom. The lake is three times saltier than the ocean and is known for its alien-looking tufa towers and unique wildlife. Visitors can walk among the towers, paddle the saline waters in a kayak or canoe, or join a hike or bird watching trip with the Mono Lake Committee. The lake is also popular with gulls, as about 85 percent of the bird’s California breeding population nests at the reservoir each year. About 30 miles northeast from Mono Lake is another eerie must-see destination - the silent remains of

a once booming gold rush town known as Bodie. While here visitors can peek in the windows of forgotten structures such as an old school house, church, saloon, barber shop, firehouse, jail and general store. Inside these buildings are bottles, desks and other relics. The brave can also take a walk through the old cemetery on the hill.

utting yourself in a caloric deficit is a surefire way to shed the extra weight - at least in theory. If you treat the body as a heat engine, and observe the energy input and energy output, you’ll end up with the exact theory. But we find out over and over again, that the human body is much more complex than we see on the surface. When you start to take into account hormonal responses and human psychology, the traditional method of calorie counting requires a little makeover. My fitness obsession started out with the bodybuilding industry. Weight

More Weight Than Just Calories loss in bodybuilding is the result of a very calculated fitness and nutrition routine that creates phenomenal results in short periods of time. It’s almost unbelievable how some of these top competitors are able to craft and manipulate their bodies at will. People often try to utilize similar methods to produce their own results. Unfortunately, this produces more failure than it does success. When I began looking at weight loss from a health and wellness point of view, I tested multiple diets and programs on myself to see how the results would present themselves. After many trials, I noticed similar results and patterns that many others have experienced - programs always

come to an end and results fading away. After reviewing reallife progress and results, I came to the conclusion that: aside from various medical complications, people who are in healthy shape exhibit behaviors that aren’t shared by those who desire to get into healthy shape. Amongst those habits, the most outstanding categories are within fitness, nutrition, and stress. The biggest factor that contributed to successful weight manipulation was consistency.

Natural Curiosities: Curious Minds

Discussion Leader: Mason McGill Caltech Computation & Neural Systems, Graduate Student Orangutans are clever tool users, but strangely, such skills remained undiscovered for centuries. They were considered as just clever mimics until discovery in remote Sumatran swamps revealed their true potential. Crows are clever birds that can solve problems and they too make surprisingly sophisticated tools. How have the curious minds of these two animals helped them become so inventive?

Can Your Gut Affect Your Mental Health?

Embrace the Fun of Being Single hedda muskat Author of The Dating Mystique heddamuskat@gmail.com

anging out with friends who are in a couple can get annoying if you are always the 3rd wheel. Sometimes it can make you feel lonely as your so called happy coupled friends suggest that life without a mate is the worst thing in life. You feel like a reject and loser and your self-esteem comes crashing down. All the time you spend telling yourself how marvelous you are is now compromised because you think you are the only single one left in the entire universe. Really? There are millions of singles out there and this may come as a shock to you but many of your coupled friends are not as happy as they seem. So don’t make it out that the grass is greener on the other side because most likely it isn’t and being single is the best thing to happen to you at this moment in your life. You are much better off being happy and single then trapped

in a toxic relationship. But there are going to be times when your single friends are busy or your married friends are on a weekend getaway, and you just don’t have the desire to go out on another date with some stranger. Yet you don’t want to be alone. Here are some fun things you can do on your own without having to feel that you are the all alone, because you’re really not. Eventbrite.com is just one source to inspire you with many ideas. 1. Learn a new skill, like photography, swing dance, sushi making class. 2. Walk around a job fair. Lots of interesting people to talk too.

ou may have heard that all health starts in the gut. Did you also know that your mental health can be affected by your gut as well? Beyond the standard

answer of digestion can slow you down and draw blood away from your brain, causing those low points between 2:00 and 5:00 in the afternoon, having poor gut health may actually mess with your emotions. According to a recent study by researchers at National Center for

Complementary and Integrative Health, a probiotic bacteria found in the gut, called Lactobacillus rhamnosus, contains a neurotransmitter called GABA that helps regulate brain activity and can calm anxiety. While more study and testing must be done, it

seems having a healthy gut can actually help level out your moods, calm your emotions, and keeps your brain firing on all cylinders. So, the next time someone asks why you're drinking that Kombucha, tell them it's for your mental health.

CAREER CORNER Talk to Strangers

Angela COPELAND, angela@copelandcoaching.com

f you’re like me, the adults in your life taught you early on, “Don’t talk to strangers.” You may have even heard the phrase, “stranger danger.” The idea is that strangers can harm you in some way. Staying away from strangers kept you safe from

kidnapping or something else bad. I whole heartedly agree with this idea for children. As a child, avoiding strangers helped me to keep myself safe in a number of potentially dangerous situations. Frankly, I still sometimes avoid strangers in public places for fear that “something” might go wrong. It’s like a residual reaction left

over from childhood. In reality, as a professional, strangers are the very people you want to talk to. I don’t mean the random people you pass in the street. I’m talking about the person you’re sitting next to at a professional conference. Or, perhaps there’s a new employee in another department you haven’t met.

Doctor, Do You Like My Smile?

Dr. Kenneth canzoneri, D.D.S.

n my office this is a question that I am routinely asked. My answer to this question surprises patients. I give the patient a hand mirror and ask them, what do you not like about your smile? Beauty weather it is a painting hanging in a museum, a flower or someone’s smile is truly “in the eye of the beholder.” Restoring a smile is an art form that is dictated not as much by the artist as it is by the ultimate owner. Translating the desires and expectations of our clients into successful results by precisely listening and communicating those desires to a laboratory is an exercise in artistry. So, what questions do I ask a patient as they hold that mirror and evaluate their smile? 1. Do you like the color of your teeth? Are your teeth a uniform, bright color and are

they stained. Do they have cracks, brown spots, white spots or dark lines? 2. Do your teeth look worn or chipped? Do your teeth appear flat or worn down as if someone has taken a belt sander to their edges and sanded them down, your teeth should not have chips on their edges. These are all signs of poor function which can destroy a smile. 3. Do you like to smile? This is ultimately the most important question the person looking in the mirror must answer. The human face is

a living canvas in which dentists are privileged to work. No two are the same and each possesses its own set of challenges and limitations. Pick-up a mirror and carefully, honestly look at your smile. About Dr. Canzoneri: Dr. Kenneth Canzoneri maintains a private family practice in Arcadia, CA. He specializes in advanced laser dentistry and rebuilding smiles for both cosmetics and function. Please call (626) 446-1679 for an appointment or visit canzoneridentistry.com

YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 04/01/2015. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On 05/04/2018 at 11:00AM, Lender's Foreclosure Services as the duly appointed Trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust Recorded on 04/14/2015 as instrument number 20150413045 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California, executed by: Andrew Khun, a Married Man, as his sole and separate property, as Trustor, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable at time of sale in lawful money of the United States, by cash, a cashier's check drawn by a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state). At: BEHIND THE FOUNTAIN LOCATED IN CIVIC CENTER PLAZA, 400 CIVIC CENTER PLAZA, POMONA, CA, all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County, California describing the land therein: As more fully described in said Deed of Trust The property heretofore described is being sold "as is". The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1612-1616 Encino Ave., Monrovia, CA 91016. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, towit: $178,999.53 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. The Beneficiary may elect to bid less than the full credit bid. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Lender, or the Trustee. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (626) 579-5350 or visit this Internet Web site, www.superiordefault. com, using the file number assigned to this case 17-10-880. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation in shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication

• Daily dust control to minimize sediment loss • Use of self-contained floor washers for paved areas. The Santa Anita storm drain system within the stable and animal show areas consists of catch basins, curb inlets, unlined and concrete lined ditches and channels, surface drains, and underground storm water pipes that collect surface water runoff from paved and unpaved areas. Runoff collected by this system is conveyed to a storm drain that discharges into Arcadia Wash through thirteen outfall structures. Arcadia Wash is tributary to the Rio Hondo which drains to the Los Angeles River, both waters of the United States. On the basis of preliminary staff review and application of lawful standards and regulations, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region, tentatively proposes to issue waste discharge requirements, including effluent limitations and special conditions.

in the Cerritos Tournament over the weekend further proved that it’s the team to beat this year. Some of tournament’s most notable performances include Kevin Yoo (first in boys’ singles), Winston Tang (second in boys’ singles), Max Li/Kenneth Tjhan (first in boys’ doubles),

Amy Sha/Melody Yang (first in girls’ doubles) and Tjhan/Yang (first in mixed doubles). By the time this article is published, Arcadia will have already competed in the Almont League Finals on Tuesday and Wednesday at the San Gabriel Valley Badminton Club.

Unfortunately for the Wildcats, they fell to a 0-9 record after losing to San Marino in their seventh league game on Monday. Going into the match, the Titans sported an unblemished 8-0 record in league play and also had an overall record of 10-2-1. In Monday’s singles action, Mattias Fraser had an off day as he dropped all three of his matches 0-6, 0-6, 1-6, while Keenan McKelvey fared slightly better, losing 1-6, 1-6, 0-6. Ethan Ko put together

Even with not having a head coach this season, the athletes of the Monrovia boys’ tennis team continue to march forward, hoping to perfect their craft in the sport they most enjoy. As the program continues its search for a muchneeded leader, Monrovia’s athletic director Randall Bell is filling as interim coach for the team. Despite the losing record and lack of expert direction, the players have competed vigorously throughout the season. 1

CROSSWORD PUZZLE SOLUTION

It seems that Arcadia baseball isn’t the only undefeated team on campus as the Coed Badminton squad finished the regular season 16-0 overall and 12-0 in league action. In the grand scheme of high school sports, Head Coach Mike Stiles and his Arcadia badminton team continue to fly under the radar as one of the area’s most dominant forces. The Apaches have yet to be taken down this season and are winning each match by an average of 16.75 points. The team has also racked up three shutouts this season over The Webb Schools, Loyola/Mayfield and Mark Keppel. The Apaches’ latest Almont League victories have come at the expense of Mark Keppel and San Marino, in which both sides lost by a 17-4 score. Arcadia’s performance

Monrovia’s best performance as he was victorious 6-3 in one of his matches but came up short on the other two. Monrovia dropped all nine of its doubles matches. The duo of Tyler Bernardino and Aiden McKelvey came the closet to taking a set, but ultimately lost by a narrow 6-7 margin. The Wildcats will look to close out their 2018 campaign on a high note as they take on South Pasadena on Friday.

Maranatha Minutemen Making Major Moves

he Maranatha baseball team has proven it is a force to be reckoned with this season as the Minutemen are steadily on their way to winning the Olympic League title. Head Coach Matt Shupper and his squad are firing on all cylinders, boasting an impressive 13-4 overall record and a 5-0 league record. So far, Maranatha has only lost to Charter Oak, Chino Hills, Monsignor Pace and Lake Norman but has picked up a few big wins over West

Covina and out-of-state schools like Ridgewood and Brighton. The Minutemen opened Olympic League play with an 8-0 victory over Whittier Christian. After defeating Whittier Christian once again in a two-way series, the team took a short break from league action to compete in their very own Minutemen Invitational earlier in the week. Maranatha opened the tournament on the right foot, blanking Bosco Tech 6-0 behind a stellar performance from pitcher Will

Downing. The junior ace tossed a complete seven innings while dealing nine strikeouts and held the Tigers to a mere two hits. Max Blessinger, Marco Martinez, Charles Acker and Ben Guess did most of the heavy lifting on offense as the quartet accounted for all of the team’s hits, which was good for a combined four RBIs. In the second game against Oxford Academy, the Minutemen once again ran the show, routing the Patriots 11-1 to imvrove their record to 2-0 in

the invitational. Junior shortstop Nick Iverson was perfect at the plate as he went 3-3 with one RBI while Martinez went 3-4 with two RBIs to help propel Maranatha to its 13th win on the year. By the time this article is published, Maranatha will have closed out the Minutemen Invitational with another fixture against Bosco Tech on Wednesday. The team will return to league play with a road game against Heritage Christian on Thursday.
