PASADENA HOMELESS POPULATION GROWS SIGNIFICANTLY

In an extremely alarming trend, the number of homeless persons aged 62 years and older in the San Gabriel Valley increased by 116 percent over the past year. - Photo by Terry Miller / Beacon Media News

or the first time in four years, homelessness has decreased in Los Angeles County. Unfortunately, the numbers continue to slowly rise in the San Gabriel Valley (SGV) and Pasadena. The Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority (LAHSA) recently released their results from this year’s homeless count and the total number of homeless individuals in the county fell

from 55,048 in 2017, to 52,765. But, despite the slight decline over this past year, the overall numbers are still substantially higher than they were when we began this decade, with LAHSA’s 2010 count tallying a total of 35,926 homeless individuals in LA County. Although LAHSA’s count does not specifically cover the City of Pasadena, which carries out its own annual homeless count, they do consider the SGV at large. This year’s data showed a five percent increase in the SGV homeless population (4,282 total individuals), a modest bump compared to Pasadena’s 2018 count, which saw an 18 percent

Pasadenans Protest Nomination of Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court Terry MILLER tmiller@beaconmedianews.com

Judy Chu, CA-27, and Planned Parenthood Advocates (@PPAdvocates), held a press conference Monday to call on all United States senators to reject the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. “The Trump Administration continues to attack women's reproductive health care, and by nominating Judge Kavanaugh, is laying the groundwork to overturn Roe v. Wade - the

1973 decision that affirmed the right to access safe, legal abortion - and take away a woman's right to make her own choices about her body and her life,” Palnned Parenthood Advocates stated. “People throughout California are demanding that their constitutional rights be protected, including access to abortion. Planned Parenthood and partners are holding over 50 events nationwide to highlight the fact that public support for Roe v. Wade is at a record high of 72 percent,

including 52 percent of Republicans. That is why Gallup polls show that public support for Judge Kavanaugh is lower than for any other Supreme Court nominee, since 1987,” states one Planned Parenthood handout. Planned Parenthood executives say U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh would “wreak havoc” on abortion. “There’s no way to sugarcoat it: With this nomination, the constitutional SEE PROTEST PAGE 11

increase in the city’s homeless population (677 total individuals). “This is a huge problem for the city and, really, the region,” said Pasadena Mayor Terry Tornek when the city council heard the 2018 Pasadena Homeless Count results on April 30, “[it’s a] very divisive, almost overwhelming problem … it’s the single biggest source of complaints and concerns that I get from constituents.” Although the overall numbers for the SGV show growth, SEE HOMELESS POPULATION PAGE 10

In 1961 the Sierra Madre Search and Rescue (SMSR) team was fired by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD). The team was adamant in maintaining its identity and not be absorbed by the department. Fred LaLone, one of

the founding fathers of the team and president at the time, stood his ground and made it known that despite this rift, the team would "be available to any agency or persons needing assistance." These days SMSR has a solid, beneficial relation-

ship with LASD, specifically the Temple Sheriff's Station. The SMSR mission remains unchanged, in the words of Fred LaLone, "We were organized to search for the missing and bring out the injured."

Summer in Town: Remembering Monrovia Veterans Susie LING, GUEST CONTRIBUTOR

n 2006, 21-year-old Raul Mercado was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq. Mercado was born in Monrovia, earned a 3.5 gradepoint average at Monrovia High, and was a member of the track and basketball teams. His goal was to buy a home for his mother, a hotel worker. At the lance corporal’s memorial service at Immaculate Conception Church, Mayor Rob Hammond struggled to say something meaningful to Raul’s mother. Hammond said, “I will never forget your son. Raul Mercado will remain in all of our hearts." Raul gained U.S. citizenship posthumously. Monrovia has lost others to war. Norman Ross, now 94, was born on Huntington Drive in 1926. He volunteered for World War II along with other African-Americans from Monrovia like Leroy Criss and Julius Parker. Ross said in an earlier interview, “I volunteered because I didn’t want to be drafted into the Army. I didn’t want to live in a foxhole. I was in the Navy which was segregated. I was a third class steward’s mate on the USS Lyon, AP-71. We weren’t allowed to do anything else but be cooks and service. I was in the Philippines and

Okinawa. We were attacked in Okinawa and it was our job to hand ammunition to the gunners. If the gunners were killed, we had to take over. All I wanted to do was go home.” Ross continued, “When I came back from the service in 1946, we couldn’t join the American Legion at Recreation Park because we were black. That was the Monrovia Armory. So we started our own post which was the Phillip Adams Post. All the blacks that came back from the service started it. There were about 20 of us at the Post. We forced them to let us use the building.” Phillip Adams died in 1944 while serving his country. Born in 1921, Phillip was the oldest son of Frank and Mary Adams, and grandson of John

B. and Adeline Morris Adams – founders of Monrovia’s AME Zion Church in 1886. Thelma King, Phillip’s younger sister said, “Mama was so heartbroken about Phillip.” As a child, Hammond heard about the Vietnam War every day. He said, “By the age of 12, I already knew what I would do if called to the service.” America’s direct involvement in that war ended in 1973, and American soldiers came home to mixed sentiments. Many quickly put away their uniforms and – as best they could – their memories. In 1996, Hammond got a

CD-ROM called Beyond the Wall and out of curiosity, made a list of names of Monrovians who died in Vietnam. Hammond went to a basketball game that night and showed his list to longtime Monrovian, Andy Montgomery. Montgomery recognized Edward Borrego’s name and said, “That’s my dad’s stepbrother.” As Hammond continued to circulate the list, another said, “Tommy Sands was my friend from school.” A local paper printed Hammond’s list. For every one of those names, many came forward. Hammond said, “One woman wrote me and told me

that one of our names was her husband and the father of a son the soldier never met. The young husband had been pressured by his father to join the military for the benefits, and when he was killed, it fractured that family. She was appreciative that Monrovia would not forget her boy’s father.” Celia Mercado at her son’s service in 2006. – Courtesy photo

The oldest postseason football game in America has some surprising origins. The Rose Bowl was created by Pasadena’s Valley Hunt Club, an organization synonymous with fox hunts, debutante balls, and dinner jackets, which is still around today. These East Coast transplants were the original organizers of the Tournament of Roses in 1890, which was a mid-winter celebration with competitions in jousting, polo, chariot races, and tug-of-war. The point, at

least at first, was to invite their old friends from back east to show them what a swell town Pasadena was. It grew and changed every year, and in 1902 the first football game was added to the festivities and made permanent in 1916. Rose Bowl Stadium was erected in 1922. Here’s hoping they return to their roots and bring back ostrich racing at halftime this year. Content source: https://www.estately. com/about

Lowrider Band Performing at Blues Festival Eric Burdon and Jerry Goldstein didn’t feel like Long Beach was a battlefield when first meeting Harold Brown and Howard Scott in 1969. “War” certainly was declared, however. “The World is a Ghetto,” “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” and the thematic “Low Rider” have been songs of the community for over 40 years. Founding members Harold Brown and Howard Scott are locals to the area; in fact you might catch Harold without drumsticks trekking the streets! The founding members of War, with the exception of the late Charles Miller and “Papa” Dee Allen, are combusting this Labor Day weekend at the New Blues Festival’s mainstage under the new name, Lowrider Band! This year the band’s mission is for the people of Long Beach to educate and innovate

when harnessing the power of blues. There are plenty of fans who may not know, but the music of the Lowrider Band is an intercultural music bound together by the tradition of blues. Take a listen to the recordings of Lee Oskar’s harp or Brown’s syncopated double shuffles. It’s clear that the spice of the band comes from more than Long Beach salsa. The members of Lowrider Band have over 17 professional albums and are certified platinum on two of their greatest hits. This band is dynamite in Long Beach which blew a new hole in the world of music. Thank goodness they’re featured on the New Blues Festival Stage this year at El Dorado Park. The festival will be on Sept. 1 and 2. Tickets are available online at newbluesfestival.com.

Tracing Route 66 through Monrovia, Arcadia, and Pasadena Jackie Gonzales jackiegonzales3392@gmail.com

The 2,451 miles that make up historic Route 66 are taking center stage at the 2018 Los Angeles County Fair. With at least seven different attractions based around the country spanning road, this year’s fair will provide visitors with an in-depth look at Route 66 and remind everyone from Santa Monica through the Foothills how history weaves

its way through their city. The primary Route 66 attraction is Alt 66, a fine art exhibit presented in the Millard Sheets Art Center. A focus on the experience of those who traversed the historic road over the years drives the exhibit. Comprised of 14 different installations with contributions by 18 different artists from the greater Los Angeles area, the exhibit seeks to explore the unique experiences of different ethnic minorities

on the route while creating snapshots of the historic landmarks and attractions along Route 66. The entire exhibit is designed to be an immersive experience and allows visitors to understand the history of not only this famous highway, but the country itself.

HOMELESS POPULATION Continued From Page 1

the story is different for each individual city. While some areas, including Altadena, Arcadia, Duarte, San Gabriel, and Temple City saw a decline in their relatively small homeless populations, others such as El Monte, Monrovia, and South Pasadena witnessed a significant increase, similar to Pasadena. El Monte’s homeless population grew from 268 last year, to 543; Monrovia went from 39 homeless individuals in 2017, to 70 this year; and South Pasadena’s numbers doubled from 11, to 22. Additionally, the majority of these growing homeless populations remain unsheltered – 68 percent in Pasadena, 95 percent in Monrovia, and 100 percent in El Monte. This trend also holds true on the county-wide level, with 77 percent of the total homeless population categorized as unsheltered. The use of cars, makeshift shelters, and campers/ RVs has also risen, something that has become increasingly evident to anyone who has traveled on or near a freeway over the

past year. Another alarming figure revealed from this year’s counts is that the homeless populations are growing older – in Pasadena, the number of homeless individuals age 50 and older increased by 65 percent, while the number of homeless persons 62 years and older in the SGV increased by 116 percent. According to LAHSA’s presentation, “more people are falling into homelessness for the first time,” a number which grew from 8,044 in 2017, to 9,205 in 2018. Approximately 46 percent of these individuals experiencing homelessness for the first time said it was “due to a loss of employment or other financial reasons” – financial reasons which are only exacerbated by the county’s serious lack of affordable housing. According to LAHSA, Los Angeles needs over 560,000 new affordable housing units for low-income renters, 16,000 more than last year. LAHSA’s data also revealed that, since 2000, the median rent in LA County “has increased 32 percent, while median household income has

How To Tell It’s Time To Do Something About Your Diabetes By Dr. Tamika Henry, MD, MBA

Often times I’ll get someone come into my office who has diabetes and they’ll tell me, “I feel fine. I mean, yeah my blood sugar is a little high, but I don’t’ feel any different.” That’s one of the biggest issues with Diabetes - you can’t feel the damage it’s doing to your body! It silently goes about destroying your capillaries without you taking any notice. And before you know it, you could be looking at black toes and talking with your doctor about amputation. So, if you can’t feel the damage being done by Diabetes, how can you tell you need to do something about it? The Best Way To Tell If You Need To Take Action Against Your Diabetes One the biggest mistakes you can make when you have Diabetes is not paying attention to seemingly unrelated warning signs. I know of one women who ignored all of the early warning signs that her Diabetes was out of control and ended up having a heart attack! Your body is designed to tell you something is wrong pay attention to it! For example, if you have frequent headaches as a Diabetic, it can be a sign that you’re blood sugar has been too high for too long and it’s damaging the blood vessels in your brain.

decreased three percent.” Similarly, a Pasadena planning commission staff report from their July 25 workshop on the conversion of motels/hotels to affordable housing revealed that “43 percent of owners and 51 percent of renters overpay for housing in the City of Pasadena,” per the current housing element. “Most notably, lowerincome households have higher rates of overpayment for housing,” continues the report, “[and] the high number of lowerincome renters who are overpaying for housing in Pasadena indicates a large population at risk of becoming homeless if rents are increased or major life events arise such as job loss or medical expenses.” As far as potential solutions go, LAHSA and Pasadena staff both seem to agree that more housing is needed. A Pasadena city staff report from the April 30 city council meeting calls for more supportive housing developments and rapid re-housing. Read More at, PasadenaIndependent.com

Upcoming Traffic Enforcement Program in Pasadena The Pasadena Police Department will be conducting a traffic enforcement program on Friday, Aug. 17, throughout the City of Pasadena.

observed, violators will be cited and/or educated on the safety concerns associated with the violation. The need for driver education and enforcement is constantly Read More at, PasadenaIndependent.com

Another common sign is blurry vision. If your eyes are constantly changing, needing new glasses every year, it can be a sign that you need to do something about your Diabetes. And, of course, some of the most common early warning signs are uncontrollable blood sugar despite trying to eat healthy, also constantly being thirsty and frequent urination are other early warning signs. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms it’s a sign that you need to take action. Learning To Listen To Your Body It’s not easy right away - we tend to dismiss small things that bug us but don’t disrupt our day. A small headache, ringing in your ear, a tingling sensation in your toes, all go unnoticed until something more major happens - like your toes turning black. The easiest way to learn to listen to your body is to write down how you feel. If you’ve written down that you’ve had a headache for the last 25 days out of 30, it’s a sign you need to make a change. But, if you don’t write it down, you won’t remember. So, when you check your blood sugar, take a minute and write down how your feeling generally, if you notice anything bugging you, and keep track. Being aware and listening to your body will help you catch those early warning signs that you might otherwise miss. Now, What If I Told You That You Could Actually REVERSE YOUR DIABTES? Would you be interested in learning more? I bet you would. And, I have a very special offer just for readers

Protravel Proves That Travel Agents Are Actually Thriving

Arcadia Realtors and CAR Hope to Eliminate ‘Moving Penalty’

Are you missing out by not using a travel agent? emily g. peters emilygpeters@gmail.com

ravel agents are sometimes regarded as a relic of the past, lumped in with rotary phones or watching TV shows on an actual television. Yet Protravel International is proving the opposite: travel agents are not only alive, they’re thriving. The sentiment is embodied in Gloria Lopez, manager of Protravel International’s Sierra Madre branch. Once based in Pasadena, Protravel moved to Sierra Madre in 2017 when it acquired Madre Hills Travel as part of their expanding services. Lopez joined the team about 17 years ago, but had been working in travel long before that. “I married an airline employee and we went to Europe for our honeymoon. It was then that I began to think about helping others travel,” shared Lopez, who started helping out at a local travel agency in 1975. She soon ventured into business ownership when she launched

her own travel agency, but industry changes compelled her to join the Protravel team in 2001. “The 1990s were a downer for individually owned travel agencies because airlines stopped paying commissions on airline tickets,” she explained. And it wasn’t just airline commissions that changed—the advent of online booking also made it tough for some agencies to survive. While Lopez knew she’d have to adapt to stay relevant, one major event

threw that relevance in the spotlight. “When Sept. 11 happened, we were able to assist many clients on that day, even those who weren’t our clients. They realized how important it was to be able to reach a real live person with their needs,” said Lopez. “It’s one thing to search the internet for the least expensive coast-tocoast fare, but another thing when there’s special requests, land arrangements and other complexities that cannot be done using the internet.”

Part of Protravel’s success is rooted in their ability to handle these complexities. “My team specializes in upscale leisure, corporate and entertainment travel. We all have a knowledge in a particular field or region—so whatever the client’s question, we have the answer,” said Lopez.

In its continuing effort to address California’s unprecedented housing supply crisis and eliminate the “moving penalty” that severely restricts the ability of seniors, disabled residents, and victims of natural disasters to relocate, the California Association of Realtors (CAR) has filed a revised initiative with the attorney general for preparation of title and summary for the November 2020 ballot. The new initiative would: - Remove the moving penalty for seniors 55 and older, the disabled, victims of natural disasters, and those whose homes are located on contaminated property, allowing them to carry their current Proposition 13-protected property tax assessment level to another home of any price, anywhere in the state, any number of times. - Eliminate intergenerational transfers of primary residences and other inherited property being used as income-producing properties without reassessment. - Address abuses by

commercial property owners who avoid property tax reassessment by means of “creative” transfers. “Filing this new initiative will allow CAR – in the event the ‘moving penalty’ is not eliminated this November – to immediately begin gathering signatures to qualify the new initiative for the November 2020 ballot and reinforce our commitment to making tax fairness a reality,” said Arcadia Association of Realtors 2018 president, Margaret Garemore. “This new initiative will provide for property tax base portability, reform the intergenerational transfer laws, and address the true ‘split roll’ problem – corporations gaming the current property tax reassessment system. And, most significantly, it will raise money for schools and local governments,” stated White. Read More at, ArcadiaWeekly.com, MonroviaWeekly.com, PasadenaIndependent.com

The Risky Business of Job Searching Angela COPELAND,

angela@copelandcoaching.com

recently heard a stand-up comedian make a joke about dating. They compared the experiences that men have versus women when they go on a Tinder date. They joked that when a man gets ready for a blind date, his biggest worry is that it will be

boring. He will have wasted an hour of his life, and perhaps some money. When a woman prepares for a blind date, her biggest worry is a bit different. In her worst case scenario, she may be physically hurt during the date. Before going on the date, she makes sure to text her friends, to let them know where she is, in case she doesn’t return.

This stand-up routine is meant to be a joke, but it highlights how different an experience can feel when two parties perceive they have different levels of power. Job searching has a similar dynamic. From the hiring manager’s perspective, a bad interview is a waste of an hour. They’re going to have to keep searching for candidates. It’s a

Is Media Really ‘The enemy of the American people?’ Terry MILLER tmiller@beaconmedianews.com

or most of the past 19 months, U.S. President Donald Trump’s horrific media ambush has garnered international attention and reaction unlike any other administration in recent memory. Editors of the Boston Globe had a splendid idea last week. They asked news organizations throughout the United States to voice their concern. The Globe’s editorial board said: Trump has labeled the news media “the enemy of the American people” a

month after taking the oath of office. The Boston Globe is proposing that newspapers across the nation express their disdain for the president’s rhetoric on Aug. 16 with the best weapon they have: their collective voice. A CNN analysis concluded, Trump used the word “fake” — as in “fake news,” “fake stories,” “fake media” or “fake polls” — more than 400 times. And last week, at a political rally in Pennsylvania, Trump told his audience that the media was “fake, fake disgusting news.” For the record, Mr. Presi-

Venice’s Gifts to the World Are as Unique as the City Itself May s. ruiz MayChu@att.net

taly is one country I am happy to go back to again and again. And one place that is distinct from any other Italian city is Venice. Seasoned travelers will even tell you it is the most un-Italian city. Because it separated itself from the rest of Italy, it had to establish itself as an independent state. Its location made it a maritime power and afforded access to other influences which added to its wealth of arts, architecture, and culture. Since I absolutely love pasta vongole and tiramisu, both of which are typically Venetian, I don’t need any other reason to go back to Venice. But a trip to this dazzling city on the water is definitely all the more enriching because of its long history and glorious past. Venice produced renowned artists. The palaces we visited contained the most spectacular works of Italy’s greatest artists – Bellini, Canaletto, Canova, Tintoretto, Veronese, among others. Even the humblest homes in this city boast of priceless paintings by famous painters. Moorish influences, not seen in other Italian edifices, are on display at St Mark’s Basilica with its mosaics, the arches on its façade, and the Islamic lanterns on top of the dome. Former residences like the Doge’s Palace and Ca’ d’Oro, and the fondacoes (trading factories and warehouses) have architectural elements that reflect those of mosques. They are all reminders that Venice was once a trade center that linked the Adriatic and Mediterranean Seas to Constantinople, Egypt, and Syria.

Venice abounds with trattorias and ristorantes. You don’t have to eat at expensive restaurants with fancy dress codes, your most satisfying gastronomic experience can be found in the hole-in-thewall trattorias. Because Venice is known for masks, we weren’t going to leave Venice without bringing home an authentic Venetian mask. Other Venetian specialties are Murano glass and Burano lace, two products that symbolized wealth and class during the city’s years of economic prosperity and imperial power. Venice is the venue for La Biennale di Venezia (Venice Film Festival), which is celebrating its 75th anniversary. Held on the island of Lido, it is one of the ‘Big Three’ film festivals alongside the Cannes Film Festival and Berlin International Film Festival. The magnificence of Venice is clearly evident to the 55,000 tourists who descend to this jewel of a city every single day. It is one travel destination that will remain unforgettable for me. Each time I visit, I see another aspect to it and I’m awed by its beauty all over again. But even those who haven’t been there are touched by it in some way. Venice’s influence – whether it’s related to art, clothing, food, or movies – reaches far and wide. Venetians call their city ‘Serenissima’ – the Most Serene Republic – not because it’s peaceful (the presence of so many tourists guarantees it’s anything but quiet), but because it still reigns supreme. And Venice’s gifts to the world are as unique as the city itself; they are a reflection of the splendor that is Venice.

Travel Lions,Tigers, and Gondolas at Two California Zoos Greg aragon gregsgetawaytravel@gmail.com

love zoos. I love the awareness they bring to the plight of animals and the joy and intrigue they bring to kids of all ages. So when I heard that two of my favorite California zoos recently added a couple of must-see attractions, I knew I had to investigate. In March, the San Diego Zoo unveiled a massive, 27-foot-tall bronze lion statue at its entryway, and in June, the Oakland Zoo opened the 56-acre California Trail Expansion, featuring a soaring gondola ride over lush, hilltop habitats. The new landmark lion at San Diego Zoo is known as Rex. The statue was designed in honor of Rex, the lion that inspired the creation of the Zoo in 1916. Legend has it that Rex arrived in San Diego as part of the Panama-California International Exposition. After the Exposition

Monrovia Wildcats Catch Serious Case of Football Fever

Arcadia Apaches Ranked No. 4 in Preseason Poll

fter a long and grueling offseason, those Friday night lights will finally return as the Arcadia football team embarks on its 2018 campaign, starting with its first game against La Salle on Friday. This is arguably one of the most highly anticipated seasons in recent memory, as the Apaches have progressively improved with each passing year under the guidance of Andrew Policky. The team’s recent success and impressive outings in passing tournaments this summer have garnered a No. 4 ranking in the Preseason CIF-SS Division 8 Football Rankings. This makes them the highest ranked team in the San Gabriel Valley with the next best being Arroyo at No.

7. Only Rancho Mirage (No. 1), Santa Ana (No. 2) and Woodbridge (No. 3) are ahead of Arcadia. Despite boasting an already talented roster, the Apaches have reloaded themselves with senior transfers Jabari Kindle, Ahmad Lipscome and Dyllan Wright. The trio came from Cathedral High School and is poised to make Arcadia all the more lethal. Rolandiss Whitener will return for his junior year looking to lead the Apaches offense. Last season, the 5-foot-9 slot receiver was an All-CIF First Team selection, recording 766 receiving yards and four interceptions. Though Arcadia went 8-4 overall and 6-1 in league last season, the team was ousted by eventual champions Katella

41-35 in the second round of CIF. This season, Policky and the rest of the Apaches will have their hands full week in and week out. “We don’t have a ton of bodies out there but we do work hard and we are talented and I think if we stay healthy, the sky is the limit,” Policky said. “The last couple of years we have been pretty good, not great, but pretty good and we have a chance to finally break through the glass this year and get over the hump, win the league title and make some noise in the playoffs.” After shaking off the opening-game jitters against La Salle on Friday, Arcadia will round out preseason action with games against Cathedral and Hart. The Apaches will begin league action on Oct. 5 with a game against Glendale.

The time has finally arrived for the Monrovia Wildcats, as the football team’s first game of the 2018 season is just around the corner. It’s been a long and busy summer for Monrovia after somewhat underachieving last season, easily taking the Rio Hondo League title but falling to Yorba Linda

in the opening round of CIF playoffs. Despite the shortcomings, newly hired Head Coach Chris Williams is ready to breathe some new life into a talented Monrovia squad that only went 4-7 in 2017. Plenty of training was done over the summer that paid dividends in several

passing tournaments where the Wildcats showed a lot of promise. Monrovia has a 10-game schedule on their plate with nonleague matchups against Burbank, Alta Loma, and Don Lugo. The team will then begin Rio League play on Oct. 5 with a clash of the cats against the South Pasadena Tigers.

Pasadena and Muir Set to Make Big Noise in Pacific League The Pacific League has gotten all the more competitive over the summer as the Pasadena and Muir football teams are ready make a big run for the league title this season. The Bulldogs and Mustangs are hungry to put themselves on the radar in a tough Pacific League that includes defending champ Burbank, No. 4 ranked Arcadia, and Crescenta Valley.

Muir did finish fourth last season with a 4-3 record, but it was not enough to qualify them for the playoffs. On the other hand, Pasadena did not enjoy the same success as they finished sixth with a 2-7 record. The last time either program made the CIF playoffs was when Muir qualified during the 2016 season. However, the Mustangs were quickly

knocked out in the first round by Antelope Valley. Pasadena will kick off the season with a road game against San Marino this Friday while Muir will play their entire two-game preseason on the road starting with a game against Charter Oak. Pacific League action will begin on Oct. 5 for both squads as Pasadena takes on Hoover on the road while Muir hosts Burroughs.

The Rise of China’s Basketball Yao Ming’s New NYBO China Youth Basketball Development Program Yao Ming and his closest basketball associate, Mr. Lu Hao, are on the move to continue improving China’s status in the world of competitive basketball. Ming

has already brought China’s interest and recognition in basketball to an unbelievable level through his dominance in China’s Olympic participations and, of course, through

his other relationship with the NBA and the Houston Rockets. Currently, China’s interest in basketball has been greatly elevated through the passion of both Ming and Hao,

a long-time business associate and friend. Currently, there is a greater effort to increase China’s basketball development to an even higher status. Yao Ming has recently become the person in charge of his country’s development as China’s newest basketball Chairman and the Director of Basketball Operations. One of his goals is to use this opportunity to develop China’s overall youth basketball skill that will turn China into a greater, stronger future challenger, so China can compete at a much higher, global level. One of San Gabriel Valley’s youth basketball development training programs, The Play Smarter Basketball Classes (PSB), have been traveling to different parts of Asia, conducting their annual training camps for the past fifteen summers. This summer, Coach Marquis, founder of PSB and two of

his coaching staff have just returned from several of their Asian summer camps that were located in six different areas throughout Mainland China.
