Relive The Beatles’ Greatest Hits With Classical Mystery Tour in Arcadia The Pasadena POPS celebrate the best of The Beatles with Classical Mystery Tour on Saturday, Aug. 4 at the Los Angeles County Arboretum. Back by popular demand, Classical Mystery Tour: A Tribute to the Beatles brings the timeless hits of the “Fab Four” to life with a fresh set list of favorites from the early years to “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” through their solo careers, with a special tribute to the 50th anniversary of the “White Album.” Spanning The Beatles’ vast catalog, tracks include “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “Here Comes the Sun,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Hey Jude,” “Imagine,” and many more. Classical Mystery Tour performers include Jim Owen (John Lennon), Tony Kishman (Paul McCartney), Tom Teeley (George Harrison) and Doug Cox (Ringo Starr). The quartet looks and sounds just like

The Beatles, with unforgettable music and costumes, but Classical Mystery Tour is more than just a rock concert. The show presents
more than two dozen Beatles tunes transcribed note-fornote and performed with a full orchestra – like you've never heard them before.
You might say it’s the best show the Beatles never did. “The orchestral score is exact, right down to every note and instrument that
was on the original recording,” explains Jim Owens, one of the founders and performers of Classical Mystery Tour. “It’s always been our goal to play Beatles music as close as possible to the way they did it, because really, they did it the best.” The Arboretum is located at 301 N. Baldwin Ave. in Arcadia. Subscribers may pre-purchase parking on-site at the Arboretum, and all concertgoers enjoy free parking at the adjacent Westfield Santa Anita shopping center with complimentary non-stop shuttle service to the Arboretum’s main entrance. Tickets are available by calling the box office at (626)-793-7172, online at PasadenaSymphony-Pops. org, or at the Arboretum on the day of the concert. Read More at, ArcadiaWeekly.com

On July 19, hundreds of thousands of people all across the country celebrate National Daiquiri Day. The daiquiri is a cocktail whose main ingredients are rum, lime juice (can be lemon juice) and sugar. The drink is believed to have been invented by miners in a small village in Cuba called Daiquiri. An American engineer by the name of Jennings Cox supervised a mining operation located in the village of Daiquiri in 1898 during the Spanish-American War. One day Cox mixed up Bacardi, lime, and sugar in a tall glass of ice. He named the beverage after the Daiquiri mines and the drink became a staple in all of Havana. Ernest Hemingway and President John F. Kennedy were both very fond of the drink. Remember to drink responsibly.

Pasadena’s A Noise Within’s Season Opens with ‘Man of La Mancha’ A Noise Within (ANW), the acclaimed classical repertory theatre presents critical and audience favorite “Man of La Mancha” by Dale Wasserman, music by Mitch Leigh and lyrics by Joe Darion, original production staged by Albert Marre, originally produced by Albert W. Selden and Hal James and based on Cervantes’ “Don Quixote.” ANW Artistic Director Julia Rodriguez-Elliott directs “La Mancha,” with performances starting Aug. 16 and running through Sept. 9. With sold-out houses, standing ovations, and extensions added, “Man of La Mancha” earned A Noise Within’s 25th anniversary season a host of accolades and inspired renewed faith in the impossible dream. Chosen as a 2017 Critic’s Choice by the LA Times, the production's previous stagings won rave reviews from critics whose praise include “a stunning, modernistic, most entertaining take...Run, don't walk to see this” (Broadway World); “Uplifting...one of

the best shows in town” (Hollywood Progressive); “An extraordinary piece of theater that is beyond compare” (Tin Pan LA); and “edgy, contemporary rethinking...stunningly staged and strikingly redesigned” (StageSceneLA). Rodriguez Elliott says: “Though many often associate ‘Man of La Mancha’ with elaborate set pieces and fanciful costumes, its earliest stagings were sparse, encompassing the spirit of a rag-tag band of prisoners putting on a play with found
objects. The play celebrates the power of make believe, and I want to go back to those roots. This production is fueled by an almost childlike sense of ‘play’ – where an ordinary object can seamlessly become a horse simply because we endow it as such. “My goal is to evoke that magical, improvisational quality we have as children but is often lost as adults.

with Lake Baldwin, and while the scientific details of his land-restoration plan are still being reviewed by Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources Inc. (SEER) in Golden, Colo., one thing remains steadfast in Raddon’s plan: The Tongva need to be involved. Raddon’s plan outlines an office for the Tribe on the property, the potential for the tribe to clean out the lake, and to watch and maintain it, as they once had before European colonists. According to Raddon, all of these things can be achieved while keeping the Los Angeles County Arboretum intact. Raddon’s plan appears to focus on helping the tribe succeed into the future. However, Arboretum CEO Richard Schulhof has a different kind of future in

mind for the Tongva. Schulhof says he would prefer to see the tribe actively engaged in the Arboretum through three methods. The first method would be helping educate the 17,000 schoolchildren who take field trips to the Arboretum annually.
The second method would be for tribe members to give general tours of the Arboretum for the 400,000 annual visitors. Read More at, ArcadiaWeekly.com

Presenting the colors at the graduation ceremony was the Arcadia Police Department Honor Guard, consisting of field training officers Daniel Tea, Carlos Quiroz, and Danny Daryaie, as well as Officer Michael Turrell, who also serves at the academy as a recruit training officer.
The recruits were sworn in as police officers and started their two-week department orientation on Monday, July 16. They will later be assigned to the field training program where they will complete an additional 800 hours of field training before reaching the required standards to become solo patrol officers. The Arcadia Police Department would like to congratulate their six new officers on a job well done, wish them continued success in the field training program, and look forward to working with them for decades to come.

Verlato said she had no problem with the height of 60-feet proposed for one project but was concerned about the number of parking spaces that will be needed to accommodate all the new

Of particular concern to Verlato is Parking Lot West (behind Denny’s and near the Post Office). Verlato said downtown revitalization needs a “kick-start,” and hopefully an “in lieu parking fee” could be assessed to
developers to guarantee parking will be made available in the future. As it stands now, parking areas around the Gold Line station in Arcadia are at capacity. Combine that with local business employees (like Rusnak) using these lots and it adds to the problem. Read More at, ArcadiaWeekly.com

A recent statement from the White House calls on China to stop all demands and coercion on multinational companies, politically pressuring them to refer to Taiwan as “Taiwan, China” or “Taiwan Region, China,” which not only creates unnecessary misunderstanding, but
damages consumers’ rights and interest and represents a violation of free market mechanism. Taiwan commends the United States for standing up to China in support of Taiwan. The Chinese government has frequently raised concerns in the international arena by blocking Taiwan from joining the international community. China once again uses its “sharp power” to censor Taiwan’s sovereignty, now even extending such practice into the
private sector. In January, China banned Marriott International’s website for acknowledging Taiwan as a country. And furthermore, in January and April, it forbade United Airlines along with 36 other international airlines from recognizing Taiwan as a country on their websites or face sanctions.

Monrovia High Class of 2018 Heads Off to College Monrovia High senior Rebecca De La O will attend the University of California, Los Angeles along with other students who hope and dream big. De La O will study mathematics of computation, a major she discovered - that blends her interests in computer science and gaming - when she became a member of Monrovia High’s Math and Science Academy (MASA) to explore how she could become a video game programmer. “I love the problemsolving aspect of writing code. Making any kind of change in the game requires going back and rewriting lines and lines of code,” De La O said. “It can take hours but, in the end, you feel this great sense of accomplishment when you finally figure it out.” The ambitious student completed 13 Advanced Placement (AP) courses over her four years at Monrovia High, competed in the school’s cross country and track teams, and was recognized by the
College Board’s National Hispanic Recognition Program by scoring among the top 2.5 percent of the Hispanic/Latino population across the states in the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT). She also boasts a 4.6 grade point average (GPA) and was the Class of 2018’s salutatorian. “Monrovia High has given me so many opportunities to learn and advance my knowledge,” De La O said. “In my sophomore year, everything seemed to click and I knew that I wanted to do more than just get good grades, I wanted to establish a legacy.” “I am so proud of our Class of 2018 graduates who all worked so hard to achieve their personal and academic goals,” Monrovia High Principal Kirk McGinnis said. Monrovia High Class of 2018 graduates will attend prestigious universities across the nation, including UC Berkeley, CSU Los Angeles, Arizona State, Kansas State, and Azusa
Pacific. “Rebecca and her classmates have learned that, with energy and passion, it is possible to accomplish your goals,” Monrovia Superintendent Dr. Katherine Thorossian said. “We are so fortunate to have exemplary educators who inspire our students to pursue their dreams.”

The Saltner Wine Bar Brings Casual Class to Monrovia From Paso reds to Italian whites, The Saltner has it all emily g. peters emilygpeters@gmail.com
I
t’s just before the weekend dinner rush at The Saltner Wine & Cicchetti in Monrovia. A four-top tips their wine glasses while Tony Bennett croons quietly in the background. It’s hot outside, too - really hot - and the perfect excuse to enjoy a glass of rosé while waiting for your cheese plate to arrive. “My husband initially suggested that we open a brewery. I told him that if we could make three batches of drinkable beer, we’d do it,” said The Saltner owner Julie Kalicki, who boasts 30 years’ expertise in the food and wine industry. “We failed three times, and I got my wine bar.” The Saltner opened two years ago, featuring small batch wines you can’t grab at the supermarket and “cicchetti” - wine-friendly gourmet bites. The bar has been converting casual wine drinkers into enthusiasts ever since. “I’ll pour a one-ounce
tasting before someone buys because I want the customer to be happy with what they're drinking, to explore the wine and learn their own palettes,” said Kalicki. “I think giving them a chance to ‘try before they buy’ really sets us apart.” She’s not passive with her own palette, either. Kalicki travels regularly to tasting events, festivals, even Paso Robles’ “CAB Camp” where she’s exposed to dozens of winemakers churning out spectacular varietals. “People aren't aware of how good Paso Robles wines have become. They're used to Napa - but what was 50 wineries a few years ago has exploded into 500 in Paso,” said Kalicki, who’s training to become a certified sommelier. “Wine is like art: everyone has an interpretation, everyone's palette is like a fingerprint. It’s my job to help them find wines they’ll love.” At The Saltner, you may find Kalicki or her talented staff building custom wine flights at the bar. Cicchetti
like Tuscan beef stew and glazed salmon are popular pairings: the result of collected recipes perfected through time. A good drink, a delicious bite - it’s all part of helping customers feel at home. “We wanted more of a European feel; a small, comfortable place that feels like you’re hanging out at your friend’s house,” said Kalicki. Before they opened, she and her husband Jan handled 90 percent of the build-out on The Saltner themselves. “We built basically everything but the plumbing. We don’t have food lamps or microwaves, but prepare everything to order. There's no difference between coming here and coming to my home - other than that you pay for it at the wine bar,” she said. “It just gives you a completely different kind of appreciation for your work when you do it yourself.” Now that The Saltner has some meat on its bones, Kalicki and company are fermenting new ideas.

“Everyone in Monrovia has been so supportive, and it’s been wonderful to do business here,” she said. “We're looking at how to incorporate wine trips, teach wine lessons at the bar - we have a couple of tricks up
our sleeve.” But it’s a careful growth, making sure they’re stable before expanding. “After all,” she smiled, “I’m not saying I wouldn’t buy a winery one day.” The Saltner Wine & Cicchetti is located at 108 E.

Jesse A. Cripps Named Chair of Board of Directors for Hillsides in Pasadena Hillsides, a Southern California foster care and mental health charity, has named Los Angeles attorney Jesse A. Cripps to a two-year term as the new board of directors chair. He replaces outgoing chair Donna Ford, who served on the board for 13 years and will remain in an ex-officio position. Cripps is a partner in the Los Angeles branch of law firm Gibson Dunn and a member of the firm’s labor and employment, litigation and class action practice groups. He formerly served on the board of Bienvenidos, a child welfare charity that merged with Hillsides in 2016. Bienvenidos is now an affiliate of Hillsides. Cripps helped facilitate the merger, and when the deal was final, became a member of Hillsides’ board. The alliance allowed Hillsides to increase its presence in East Los Angeles and to add a foster care and adoption program to its many services. “We are very fortunate to have someone lead our board who is knowledgeable about Hillsides and our affiliate,
Jesse A. Cripps - Courtesy photo / Hillsides
Bienvenidos,” said Hillsides president and chief executive officer Joseph M. Costa. “Jesse is fully informed about all of our programs and services, plus offers us the added benefit of his legal expertise as a top attorney at one of the city’s leading law firms. We are excited to welcome him into this new position.” One of Cripps’ priorities as chair is to champion the goals of Hillsides’ 2018-2020 strategic plan, which include providing the highest quality programs and services, expanding services, and maintaining financial
sustainability. “Hillsides has been around a long time – since 1913 – and as board chair, I want to make sure we will be here for some time to come so we can continue to help children and families heal, grow and thrive,” said Cripps. Cripps also plans to devote time nurturing the Hillsides’ board. “We have an incredibly strong, engaged and talented group of people, and one of my goals is to continue to maximize this talent to best support our programs and outreach efforts,” he said.

Part 3: The truth is that getting in shape isn’t hard once you’ve found the right strategy Yajen TAN yajen@gimmefit.com
F
riends and family can often become barriers when you’re trying to get in shape. Many people start off their transformation journey feeling driven and ready to succeed, but as soon as your coworker asks you out for dinner, you’re now stuck in a dilemma. Are you going to let your coworker down or step outside of your program’s boundaries? Luckily, you have the option of planning ahead to avoid situations like this. Make sure you communicate clearly with your friends and family of the goal that you’re trying to achieve, and then plan out a couple of alternative options that you can suggest when situations like this arise. Here are a couple of options to replace calorieladen late nights: -Workout in the gym.

-Walk or hike in the park (super relaxing and great for conversation). -Meal prep together. -Watch a movie and bring your own snacks. The possibilities are really endless. The coolest part about this is that you now have the opportunity to pursue your goal, and you might even find a partner who is interested in joining in! I love beer and pizza, and I still get weird looks when I say that with my personal trainer shirt on. If I asked
you what foods you could not live without, a couple things would probably cross your mind. This is why I always recommend people just shoot for maintaining proper diet and nutrition for at least 85 percent of the time. Read More at, ArcadiaWeekly.com, MonroviaWeekly.com, PasadenaIndependent.com

S
outhern California is full of beauty and magic, and one the region’s most unique and mesmerizing spectacles is the Pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach. Held each summer in an open-air canyon theater, the event is something that any lover of art and culture should experience at least once. Now in its 85th season, the world-renown stage show incredibly recreates and brings to life famous paintings with a group of live, motionless models and beautiful backdrops set within huge picture frames on a massive outdoor stage, with

a professional orchestra, live narration, and sophisticated lighting. Located in a rustic Laguna Beach canyon, two blocks from the ocean, The Pageant's 90-minute nightly performances are highlighted by tableaux vivants, or living pictures, that take the 2,000seat Irvine Bowl Park stage in the corner of the festival grounds. The “pictures” are remarkable re-creations of classical and contemporary masterpieces, “painted” with real people, painstakingly made-up with costumes and makeup. The paintings are then filled with authentic backdrops and wrapped by giant picture frames. The 2018 Pageant of the Masters will amaze audi-
ences nightly through Sept. 1 with 90-minutes of tableaux vivants. The address is 650 Laguna Canyon Rd., Laguna Beach, CA 92651. The festival is open daily, 10 a.m. – 11:30 p.m. Festival admission ranges from $5 - $12.

Scotland’s St. Andrews is More Than a Picturesque Coastal Town May s. ruiz MayChu@att.net
M
ention St. Andrews, Scotland, and most people would automatically think of golf. It is, after all, popularly known as the birthplace of this sport where it was fist played in the 15th century. To this day the British Open is held on The Old Course every five years. Professional golf is a lucrative business that gets support from major sponsors and draws an elite following. St. Andrews Links run five annual tournaments throughout the year, including the St. Andrews Links Trophy, and host the St. Rule Trophy, the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, and The Open Championship. During the summer months, non-professional players from all over the world flock into town. Golf is a big part of the daily lives of St. Andrews residents; each one of them is touched by the sport in one way or another. Limo chauffeurs, as well as cab and shuttle drivers, have
numerous memorable stories about how many golfers and golf clubs they have transported from the Edinburgh airport to St. Andrews. Every pub and tavern owner has served tankards of ale or glasses of Scotch whiskey to the most famous golf luminaries, whether in celebration of a championship win or in commiseration for an upsetting loss. All hoteliers and B&B proprietors have warmly hosted these perennial visitors to their charming enclave. But golf isn’t everything that St. Andrews has to offer. It is also home to the University of St. Andrews, the first and most ancient university in Scotland and the third oldest in the English-speaking world after Oxford and Cambridge. Founded in 1413, the University of St. Andrews has consistently ranked third in academic excellence, behind Cambridge and Oxford, and first in student happiness in the United Kingdom. During term time students make up approximately one third of the total population and because the university doesn’t really have a school
campus, its buildings are scattered across town. The school and its students are such an integral part of the community. One out of every five residents has some connection to the school, whether as faculty or staff or as a worker in restaurants, grocery stores, retailers, and clothes shops catering to students and university personnel. If you’re a tourist while school is in session, you will most definitely bump into students as they hurry off to their lectures or tutorials when you make your way to the ruins of St. Andrews Castle or Cathedral. They are most probably sitting only a few feet away from you as you take in the majesty and splendor of sunset on the West Sands. In equal measure, golfers and students support the economy of this town as well as contribute to the local color. St. Andrews is certainly abuzz and alive with their presence. And anyone who has been fortunate enough to visit this stunningly beautiful spot in Scotland fully appreciates how they have enriched the St. Andrews experience.

OPINION
Starting a new business? Go to filedba.com Send your letters to tmiller@beaconmedianews.com - Please be brief. Reader Says, Dinner and a Movie Overpriced When I came to this country as a child in 1953, most movie theaters charged 25 cents to watch
a double feature, a cartoon, and a newsreel. Popcorn cost 10 cents -- plus an extra five cents for extra butter. And now, 65 years later, a movie with dinner for two adults at our local
theater here in Monrovia is projected to cost about $70. I can’t help but recall that back in 1953, $70 paid the monthly rent for the remodeled garage where we (my mother of
blessed memory and her two children) lived, plus enough money left over to buy food for all of us. Life without frills can still be a good life. David Q. Monrovia

o you ever feel like you’re struggling to take your career to the next level? If so, you’re not alone. Many of the job seekers I speak to each day are struggling with similar feelings. They have not received the achievements they expected to get by now. Perhaps they’re coming up on an important birthday, such as thirty or forty or fifty. They haven’t received the awards they would have hoped, or the plum promotion they were counting on. They’re making less money than they had planned for. Often, they see peers and friends who are making more, and are going up the corporate ladder faster. It can be upsetting, especially if the job seeker was a top performer in school, is a hard worker, and is intelligent. I recently had the opportunity to speak to Dr. Prasad Kaipa from San Francisco. Prasad is the author of the book “From Smart To Wise.” He focuses on helping professionals to “ignite the genius within” and to connect with their noble purpose. This is quite a lot to digest. So, let’s focus on one piece of the discussion. One of the things that resonated with me was this idea: “What got us here won’t get us there.” Dr. Kaipa shared the concept that your situation changes over time. He tied this back to the idea of a core

competence. Very often, we are promoted through our careers because we have a core strength or set of core strengths that we rely on. But, as we go up the ladder a different skillset is needed for each role. Dr. Kaipa explained, “In time, we need to develop a second capability. We need to be able to develop a second core strength. Now that we are in the current position, even though the current set of skills helped us to get here, now that you are a Vice President, you need to learn how to become a President.” Dr. Kaipa continued,
“The unfortunate part is, whenever we feel we are not reaching our potential, we use the same set of skills that got us here, harder and more often. We don’t really reexamine whether the strength that we have that has become our signature strength has become the nail in our foot. I think that kind of a pausing, reexamining, and getting reflection both internally and from other people is what gets us to where we want to go.” This makes a lot of sense. When we feel like we are failing at something, it’s possible that
we’ve outgrown our old toolkit. It’s possible that new strengths are needed. And, sometimes we don’t even know yet what those strengths may be.

Monrovia City Notices SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 2018-03 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MONROVIA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING TITLE 17 (ZONING) OF THE MONROVIA MUNICIPAL CODE PROVIDING REGULATION AND APPROVAL REQUIREMENTS FOR TATTOO ESTABLISHMENTS IN THE CRS/RCC, RCM, M, AND HCD ZONING DISTRICTS AND MAKING A DETERMINATION OF EXEMPTION PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT This is a summary of the above entitled ordinance which was read and introduced by the Monrovia City Council following a duly-noticed public hearing on July 3, 2018 by a vote of 3 in favor and 2 opposed. Councilmembers Blackburn, Mayor Pro Tem Shevlin, and Mayor Adams voted in favor of the ordinance and Councilmem-
BeaconMediaNews.com bers Crudgington and Spicer voted against it. The Ordinance was adopted by the City Council on July 17, 2018. This summary has been prepared and published in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 36933.
report and all the information, evidence, and testimony presented in connection with this project. Following the close of the public hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PCR20180003 recommending approval of this Ordinance No. 2018-04.
Currently, tattoo establishments are permitted in industrial and heavy commercial areas of the City subject to a Conditional Use Permit requirement. This ordinance is intended to permit tattoo establishments to be operated as “accessory,” or secondary, uses as a small part of an existing business in the Historic Commercial Downtown (“HCD”) District of the City under a Minor Conditional Use Permit. The concept of an “accessory use” is a use that is added as a smaller part of an existing primary use, to serve the customers of that primary business on the same premises. A tattoo establishment as an accessory use could occupy no more than 20% of the floor area of the primary use and would be allowed in suitable businesses such as apparel stores, barber shops and art galleries.
SECTION 3. On July 3, 2018, the City Council of the City of Monrovia conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the project, including this Ordinance No. 2018-04. At the hearing, all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard. The City Council received and considered the staff report and all the information, evidence, and testimony presented in connection with this project.
The requirement that a Minor Conditional Use Permit be issued for any tattoo establishment proposed as an accessory use in the HCD area ensures that such businesses in the Downtown area will be reviewed to ensure that they are compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and have appropriate conditions imposed. Tattoo establishments in other permitted areas, where they could be the primary use under existing law, are still required to obtain a Conditional Use Permit after a public hearing. The ordinance imposes standard conditions for tattoo establishments. Businesses that provide permanent makeup services, as defined, are not impacted by this ordinance. The ordinance also takes the Municipal Code’s existing definition of “personal services” and separates those services into check cashing businesses, massage establishments and tattoo establishments for greater clarity. The Ordinance is exempt from CEQA review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that that there is no possibility that the regulation of tattoo establishments in a manner that will prevent adverse impacts upon adjacent areas will have a significant effect on the environment, since these uses will be located in zones that require discretionary review. Therefore, no further action is required under CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines. The City Council has reviewed the project and based upon the whole record before it, in the exercise of its independent judgment and analysis, concurs that City staff has correctly concluded that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the proposed amendments to the Municipal Code and the effects derivative from that adoption may have a significant effect on the environment. The project is therefore exempt from the environmental review requirements of CEQA pursuant to Section 15305 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. A certified copy of the entirety of the text of Ordinance No. 2018-03 is available in the office of the City Clerk in City Hall and is open for public inspection during regular business hours at that location.

The project also proposes to change Peck Road north of Duarte Road to a publicly accessible driveway and drop-off area for the adjacent Metro Gold Line Monrovia Station. The development application includes a request to amend the City’s Official Zoning Map changing the PD (Planned Development) Zone designation to the SP (Specific Plan) Zone and amend the text of the Zoning Ordinance to add the Station Square South Specific Plan to Section 17.04.035 of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Monrovia Municipal Code for the subject property.

SECTION 4. Environmental Review (a) Based on the information in the application and accompanying technical reports, an Initial Study was completed.

Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this ordinance or the application thereof to any person or place, is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance, and each and every section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

World Cup Potentially Coming To Pasadena The wait is over. After a lengthy campaign to bring the world’s most popular sporting event to North America, the United States, Mexico, and Canada will co-host the 2026 World Cup with the Rose Bowl being a likely venue for multiple matches. The announcement was made right before the start of the 2018 World Cup, which has many American fans excited. This will be the first time the prestigious tournament will be held in North America since 1994 when it was held in the United States. As of now, there are 23 candidate cities in the United States, Mexico, and Canada that will be narrowed down to 16 in 2020 or 2021. Interestingly enough, this World Cup will see an expansion of the playing field from 32 qualified teams to 48.
It’s already been decided that the final game will be held at MetLife Stadium in the New York City Metro. However, the Rose Bowl’s history, capacity (90,000), and location (Los Angeles) make a strong case for it to host other big games. The Rose Bowl was the site for the final game back in 1994. In that match, Brazil topped Italy in penalties 3-2 after playing to a scoreless tie at the end of extra time. The win earned Brazil its fourth World Cup title.

farthest Monrovia has made it in the playoffs was the quarterfinals in 2016. Head Coach Ashlee DiSalvo will head into her second year at Monrovia’s helm as she took the team to a 15-7 overall record in 2017. The Wildcats also finished runners-up in the Rio Hondo League with an 8-2 record behind La Cañada but were eliminated by Arcadia in the first round of CIF. Monrovia has a 17-game schedule lined up
that is littered with tough match-ups against formidable opponents. The Wildcats’ first game is a road fixture on Aug. 14 against a familiar foe in Westridge. The Tigers were the ones who sent Monrovia home during its deep playoff run in 2016 and will be the first time the two sides have met since then. Monrovia will also hit the road to play Arcadia on Aug. 23 in a non-league bout.
Promising Season Closes In On Arcadia Volleyball While it might be only Jennifer Estrada’s sophomore season as head coach of Arcadia girls’ volleyball, she has already established a culture that is sure to take the Apaches to new heights in 2018. Estrada and Arcadia made a good impression last season by putting together a 22-7 overall record and finishing 12-2 in Pacific League action, good
enough for second place behind Burroughs. The team qualified for CIF where they defeated rivals Monrovia in the opener but fell to La Salle in the next round. This year, Arcadia has an 18-game, regular-season slate with the season opening on Aug. 15 with a match against Covina. The Apaches will then begin league play on Aug. 28 with a game against Pasadena
that will fall in the middle of a four-game road swing. Once Arcadia returns from the road trip, the team will play six of its following seven games at their gym. The last time the Apaches felt championship glory was in 2016 where they went 14-0 in league while making it all the way to the CIF quarterfinals where they came up short against Sierra Canyon 3-1.

How To Add Healing Movement Into Your Day-To-Day By Dr. Tamika Henry, MD, MBA One of the questions I get asked frequently is how to add more movement into a sedentary lifestyle. Our modern day lives are basically sitting. We’ve traded working in fields and factories for working in front of computers. And while standing desks are at least a step in the right direction, many of us just aren’t getting enough movement in our daily lives. Let’s talk about movement for a moment. I don’t mean hardcore exercise - I’m talking about going for a walk, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, small things that can get your blood pumping and use muscles that you don’t use when sitting down for 4 to 5 hours at a time.

What Exactly Is Healing Movement? Healing movement is using dance as way to help increase circulation and improve your mental state. You see, dance has an almost magic power over our bodies it’s a way to express yourself and help our bodies relax and let loose.
for women interested in learn how to use healing movement to help them deal with the stress of modern life.
So actually allowing yourself to dance and not worry about other people judging you and laughing at you can help remove a huge weight off your shoulders while at the same time move muscles that your body might not have used in a long time - even if you go to the gym every day!
I’m inviting you to come, bring a friend and learn exactly how to bring the fun and joy back into your day with reowned dance & fitness instructor, Tanita Fadyeyola. Tanita has taught women all over the world how to add healing movements to their life to achieve health and help them look and feel younger and full of energy.
Dancing also has the added benefit of allowing communal healing - dancing with a group of people, in a safe, secure enviroment can help heal the emotional scars that we pick up at work, home, and by just trying to be ourselves.
Together, we are going to learn all about healing movement and how to bring balance to your soul so your body can heal.
One of my favorite tricks to help my patients move is to get a step counter (fitbit, Apple Watch, whatever device you like) and try to get more steps in today then they did yesterday. As long as you are constantly growing, you’re body will thank you.
You see, there is something joyful about dancing and laughing that allows both our bodies and our minds to let go of all the stress and tension built up inside us. Similar to doing Yoga, healing movement realigns body and soul, giving you more energy, a better outlook, and an overall sense of well-being.
But today, I want to talk about a specific type of movement - healing movement and how you can add it to your day-to-day to lift your spirits, brighten your day, and even put a little jazz behind your smile.
