Donate Blood in Arcadia, Monrovia and Pasadena to Help Blood Shortages The American Red Cross is facing a severe blood shortage and urgently needs blood and platelet donors to avoid delays in lifesaving medical care for patients. Volunteer hosts are also critically needed. During September and October, the Red Cross collected over 21,000 fewer blood and platelet donations than what hospitals needed. Blood donors of all blood types, especially type O, and platelet donors are urged to donate. Fewer blood drives coupled with hurricanes Michael and Florence, which caused thousands of blood and platelet donations to go uncollected, were key contributing factors to the current blood shortage. Donations often decline during the winter holidays when many groups postpone blood drives while regular donors are busy with holiday activities and travel. To encourage donations around the Thanksgiving holiday, those who come to donate blood or platelets with the Red Cross Nov. 21-24 will receive a long-sleeved Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last.

Did You Know There is a Correct Way to Blow Your Nose?
?
Cold and flu season is here which means many of us will soon be battling with stuffy and runny noses. Blowing your nose could make it more stuffed and make you feel worse because you are building up the pressure in your nostrils. This can then cause mucus to gather in your sinuses rather than be expelled from your body. That mucus often contains viruses or bacteria which could then cause an infection. The feeling of stuffiness is caused by inflamed blood vessels which are irritated by blowing your nose. The solution? Close one nostril at a time and lightly blow through each nostril.
Don’t make your cold worse by blowing your nose too hard. - Courtesy photo

The 41st Annual Doo Dah Parade Struts its Stuff Sunday This eccentric event will bring this year’s unique and strange themes to East Pasadena Kenya Barrett yajen@gimmefit.com
P
erhaps one of the most peculiar yet flamboyant events of the year will be taking place on Sunday, Nov. 18 in East Pasadena, The Doo Dah Parade. People from all over the Los Angeles area will have the opportunity to participate and/or watch the parade as multiple creative individuals and floats trot down Colorado Boulevard. Strutting some of the most distinctive yet unusual outfits ever, viewers are in for a surprise that may leave them speechless. The Doo Dah Parade’s history dates back to 1978, where originators including Peter Apanel, Ted Wright and Charles Finnell decided to create a satire-based celebration that is an alternative prequel to the traditional Rose Parade. For years, attendees have come dressed in absurd looks poking fun at many contemporary topics. This year, visitors can expect the same level of quirkiness that has been displayed effortlessly since the beginning. Viewers will see the interesting and wacky lineup which includes appearances from some popular odd groups including Nut Camp, Trashion

Attendees will also be able to experience Secret Santa, the Doo Dah’s take on the North Pole, which will feature holiday themed fun for all ages. With the parade stepping off at 11 a.m., watchers are
encouraged to come early and bring lawn chairs to sit back and view the madness. Several food trucks and eateries will be available along the route of the parade where people can grab a bite to eat.

Pasadena Receives $175K Grant for Bike and Pedestrian Safety
DISDAIN
The City of Pasadena’s efforts to enhance safety for bicyclists citywide just got a financial boost thanks to a $175,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to the city’s Department of Transportation for its Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program. The city will use the funding for a year-long motorist safety outreach program aimed at reducing severe injuries and fatalities to pedestrians and bicyclists resulting from crashes. Specifically, this program will bring awareness to motorists of the importance to yield to pedestrians when making left or right turns

The PUSD Board of Education may make additional reductions to effectively increase more than the minimum 3 percent requirement to address the deficit spending pattern and/or set aside monies for other purposes.” At a special meeting at PUSD HQ Tuesday night, residents voiced their considerable objections to the District’s latest attempts to save money. The plan must be finalized on or before the Nov. 15 regular board meeting to be incorporated into the First Interim Report that will be presented at the Dec. 13, 2018, regular board meeting. If Measure J, the advisory sales tax measure, passes, it has the potential to provide approximately $7 million to the district. However, since the measure is “advisory,” these funds may not be included in the Fiscal Stability Plan until there is a vote of the City Council confirming the funds will be allocated to the District. This vote

This ranking provides an important resource for patients, and a benchmark for hospitals, to determine how care at one hospital compares to others in a region,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group.

T
he key to becoming a great dancer? Mastering the moves, of course. But the first step in that direction might happen even before setting foot on the dance floor. “Look the part,” said Sarah Gallegos, who took over as owner of Enchanted Dancewear about a year ago. “You could literally take a dance class in a T-shirt and workout pants, but the more you look the part, the better you feel about dancing and that can improve your form a little bit, too.” Gallegos should know. A dancer since age two, she studied at Los Angeles County High School for the arts and has taught folklorico (Mexican folk dancing) for years. Like ballet, the dance derives a good deal of its beauty from its gorgeous outfits, designed to complement the moves. At Enchanted Dancewear in Monrovia, Gallegos offers key basics like

leotards, tights, shoes (for men, women and children) and more to do the same. The challenge is getting the right fit. “Dance clothing and shoes don’t run like normal clothes do, even within the same brand. People will come in because they buy dance shoes on Amazon and
get disappointed because they don't work,” Gallegos explained. “We do professional shoe fittings here because it’s so important to come in to try things on, learn how your foot works and get properly fitted. It all impacts the efficacy of your dancing.” Since finding her own
footing as a business owner, Gallegos has also introduced some changes at Enchanted Dancewear. Her husband, an engineer, helped her create their version of a “selfie stage,” a portable dance surface ideal for practice and impromptu performances only more lightweight and easier on your joints than other options. Being a momand-pop operation, the shop is also family-friendly - Gallegos own two children are regulars there and her “Adult Nights” are growing in popularity. Enchanted Dancewear is located at 403 S. Myrtle Avenue in Old Town Monrovia.

Day Trippers in Wrightwood and Jackson Lake
Greg aragon gregsgetawaytravel@gmail.com
I
love going to the mountains, but sometimes I don’t want to deal with all the narrow, winding roads. For these times I like to visit Wrightwood, a hidden gem in the Swarthout Valley, at the eastern end of the San Gabriel Mountains. Located at an altitude of approximately 6,000 feet, the small town can be reached via the freeway and a couple of highways. A friend and I recently took a Sunday drive to Wrightwood and experienced cool mountain air, tasty home cooking, a tiny picturesque lake, and lots of incredible scenery. Our getaway began when we took the 210 Freeway in Pasadena east to Rancho Cucamonga, where we transferred to the I-15 north, to CA-138 and then to CA-2, which led us into the town of Wrightwood. When we got there it was a brisk and sunny 46-degree November morning and the surrounding mountains were a giant postcard speckled with towering pine trees, topped with puffy white clouds. Wrightwood is probably best known for Mountain High, its popular ski resort, but the place is also a charming little town with quaint shops and restaurants and a host of outdoor activities at hand. And no traffic lights! Once in Wrightwood

we drove down Park Drive, the main drag, and walked around town, which was bustling with locals and motorcyclists and day trippers like us. One of the busier places on the street was Zip Lines at Pacific Crest (ziplinespc.com). The company offers two different zip line courses that are literally built in the trees, which enables guests to “truly be in the environment, zipping from one platform to the next.” The Canopy Tour is a thrilling zipline course that offers heights of up to 300 feet off the forest floor and lengths of over 1,500 feet. The Mountain View Tour provides another unique zipline experience, featuring a free-fall experience from a tree platform. Near Zip Lines at Pacific Crest we found Evergreen Café, with smoke floating from the chimney and the aroma of home cooking wafting through the mountain
air. We took this as signal to pop in for lunch. We did and were treated to a hearty home-cooked meal of hot chili and chickenfried steak. After lunch we drove up Angeles Crest Highway, which cuts through town. In a few minutes we came to Mountain High Ski Resort (www.mthigh.com), which is currently making snow and preparing for the upcoming 2018-2019 winter season. “All signs point to cold weather and possibly natural snow starting Sunday Nov. 18,” says the Mountain High website. “We could open the West resort as early as Saturday, Nov. 24, if everything goes well.” Mountain High consists of three separate mountains: Mountain High East, West and North.

Celestino: Creating Memorable Sicilian Dining Experiences Brianna CHU & May s. ruiz MayChu@att.net
C
elestino on South Lake Avenue in Pasadena has been a favorite dining destination for over 20 years. Its ebullient owner, Calogero Drago, is legendary for the relationships he’s established with the community – he knows diners by name and is aware of their food preferences. However, Drago doesn’t rely on goodwill alone. Celestino is, after all, a restaurant; so he ensures diners are never disappointed and creates dishes that make their experience memorable. During a recent tasting dinner, he inaugurated his seasonal menu featuring mushrooms and truffles. And after reading Brianna’s review below, you’ll appreciate why Celestino is the acclaimed restaurant that it is. Over the course of the
evening, Calagero Drago treated us to small plates of eight different dishes in a tasting menu prepared to showcase Celestino’s seasonal offering. Some of my personal highlights? The burrata antipasto, tortelloni, risotto, and panna cotta. The burrata antipasto was accompanied by a tomato sauce on a bed of arugula. The skin of the freshly-made cheese was resilient but the texture of the cheese within was incredibly silky and creamy in taste - as buttery as its name suggests. The penultimate appetizer was mixed seafood tortelloni, which are the larger cousin of tortellini. Each tortelloni was handmade and the perfect two-bite proportion. The cioppino sauce was gently spicy: enough to warm the tongue, but nowhere near overpowering. When the risotto came out, the room was delighted by the simultaneous entrance of waiters holding
truffles and graters in their hands. The risotto was rich and savory, and the slight sweetness and tang of the Nero D’Avola red wine was clearly present. The topping of truffle shavings added depth and earthiness to the already rich risotto. For me, however, the dessert was quite literally the showstopper of the entire dinner, perfectly contrasting against some of the heavier elements of the meal. The cream was lightly sweetened and both the flecks and flavor of vanilla bean shone through. The strawberries seemed to have been macerated in the limoncello, so the flavors were happily married by the time it reached us. Despite how full I was, I found the panna cotta dangerously easy to eat. As we walked out to our car, we passed the kitchen, where I noticed trays of what appeared to be freshly-made tagliatelle nests on sheet pans laying on the order counter. I wondered how I could have lived in Pasadena most of my life without ever eating at Celestino, something I’m determined to rectify as I intend to come back. The atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming, a reflection of the joy and heritage of its Sicilian owner, and the food is a celebration of authentic Italian cuisine.

Reader Responds to ‘Did you know Veterans Day was once called Armistice Day’ Dear Editor Isn’t it amazing that two words can have great significance? Veterans Day. [These words] engage the mind with images of gallant soldiers tested by war – and then living for the rest of their lives honored by a thankful nation for their heroic sacrifices. Glorious. It’s no wonder that for so many young men and women, there is nothing
worthier than to be celebrated in life and honored in death as a veteran. Armistice Day, on the other hand, emerges in the mind as a dull image of old men sitting around a table negotiating terms of peace to end a war. How boring. Well, Kurt Vonnegut, among other famous men, was a WWII veteran who witnessed the horrors of war and said: “Armistice Day was sacred -- Veterans Day is not.” And who can contradict him? Peace indeed is sacred – war is a curse. Rory Fanning, a veteran of the Afghanistan war,
said: “Armistice Day was a hallowed anniversary because it was supposed to protect future life from future wars.” Perhaps Armistice Day should have been retained, if only to discredit the glitter and glamour of war which so often acts as a magnet to the impressionable young. - David Q MONROVIA
Monrovia Boy Scout Asks for Readers’ Help Dear Editor, I am a 7th-grade student at Clifton Middle School. I am also a Boy Scout with Troop 223. Do your readers know that inside Monrovia Canyon Park there is a fantastic Boy Scout facility called Camp Trask Scout Reservation? It is a pretty cool place with an old-fashioned fort and a swimming pool. I just earned my welding merit badge there. I was saddened to see when I got there that
hen it comes to job interviews, I’ve seen it all. Most interviews come in a fairly straight forward format. You do a phone screen with human resources and then a phone interview with the hiring manager. Afterward, you come in person for meetings with the hiring manager and other folks on the team. But, not every interview is so simple. Some companies
many of the windows on the main building are shattered and broken. Also, the water system is out of date and I had to bring in my own water to drink. Youth from all over come to camp here to get out of the city and be in nature. This special place needs your help. I was hoping the people and businesses in Monrovia could help raise some money to help out the Boy Scouts. I want the people who come to Camp Trask and Monrovia to leave feeling good about it and not sad that it is falling apart. If people want to donate they can go to glaacbsa.org/trask and click on “$ Donate to Friends of Scouting” then select “Council Camps.” People can donate any amount and leave a donation message to make sure it goes to Camp Trask. I hope you will publish this letter and spread the word. Thank you for helping the
ask job seekers to do a presentation about themselves. Others ask you to complete an IQ test. Some ask you to create a proposal of how you would spend your first ninety days if you were hired. And, then every once in a while, a company will ask you “What kind of salad dressing best emulates your life philosophy?” I know this must sound like a joke but no, I’m not kidding. Companies will ask questions such as, “If you were a sandwich, what kind of sandwich would you be?” and, “What font best describes
your personality?” These types of questions can serve a few purposes. First, they can test how you react under pressure.

can, even though they will still pay for public school taxes. Folks now will even pay more to drive their cars because the tax will raise the price of gasoline in the city. The entire 3/4 of a cent more than what we now pay [sic]. The transportation folks are dancing in the street with all the new money coming in, even though the gas tax was already raised under a measure 6 months ago. What I would still like reported from the media is who and how much was given in support to measures I and J. Tell us the numbers of those public support donations of $25, so that we can see just how much financial support the public really supported the measures. I think the real support will have come from those most likely to save their jobs from poor management of public funds. More to come [sic]. -Richard L. PASADENA
Sincerely, - Jagger K. MONROVIA
Reader Responds to Tax Increase and Measures I and J Dear editor, So many voters in Pasadena really don’t know the real story of the need for the sales tax increase. They only drank the fear of collapse of all the service they haven’t gotten in the past and that the tax would solve the problem overnight. So sorry but it won’t. The money will first go to pay down pension obligations and additional salaries to continue getting the best people for the jobs. So they say [sic]. I don’t think the schools will make much improvement because families will still send their kids to the best schools they

Wildcats Nearing Finish Line with Finals Meet on the Horizon The Monrovia cross country team’s season has almost come to an end as two of its total runners will individually compete at the 2018 CIF-SS Ford Cross Country Championship Finals on Saturday. It’s been a long but fruitful season for the Wildcats who donned the smallest roster in the Rio Hondo League. The team was riddled with injuries and illness but Head Coach Nolan Shaheed lauded their efforts for staying the course the entire way through. “We were very dedicated and the students were very cooperative in trying to make it to CIF,” Shaheed said. Alaina Peters and Roberto Soto were the only Wildcats to advance to this Saturday’s finals meet after a strong showing at the prelims on Friday. Peters came in second place in her heat at the prelims while Soto’s perfor-

mance narrowly qualified him for the last remaining spot in the finals meet. Despite the lack of team depth – which greatly hurt Monrovia in terms of scoring – Shaheed is proud that his teams always have the most scholar athletes of any program at the school. He said he is determined to continue this trend and further imple-
ment it into the team’s culture for years to come. “I need to build the cross country team because we’re small,” Shaheed said. “However, my teams have always had high scholastic students and I want to keep that going because that’s the most important thing to me is that they are developing as great students.”

Maranatha Rallies to Defeat No. 1 Woodcrest Christian in CIF Title Match Although it wasn’t in the most dramatic of fashions, the Maranatha girls’ tennis team captured its second championship in four years as it upended Woodcrest Christian 12-6 in the CIF-SS Division V finals on Friday. At first glance, the Minutemen seemed to have a lot on their hands being that Woodcrest Christian was the No. 1 seed in Division V. And, in the early stages of the championship match it played out exactly like the way you would think. However, Maranatha refused to come up short for the third year in a row, overcoming deficits in four of six matches in the first
round to win 5-1. These matches included three singles and three doubles fixtures. With the Minutemen already firmly in the driver’s seat, they cruised to a 12-6 victory thanks to a big performances from Maddie Kane, Malena Smith, Stella Wang, Amanda Yee and Georgia Wilder. Kane, who is Maranatha’s No. 1 seed, torched all three of her opponents with match scores of 6-0, 6-0 and 6-1. Additionally, the tandem of Yee and Wilder took all of their doubles matches, helping the Minutemen retain the lead. Maranatha finished its 2018 campaign with an 18-2 record.

ehind an all-around team effort, the Apaches were able to take down hosts Temescal Canyon 38-17 on Friday to advance to the Division XIII CIF-SS semifinals. After making light work of Agoura in the first round, the Apaches were up against a formidable foe in the quarterfinals. The Titans who were riding a three-game win streak had also defeated Arroyo 31-30 in overtime last week. Nonetheless, it seemed as if Head Coach Andrew Policky and his team had a game plan and executed it to perfection as the Apaches immediately snagged the lead in the first and
never surrendered it. The most notable play of the night arguably came in that opening period when receiver Dyllan Wright made a tremendous leaping catch in the red zone over two Temescal Canyon defenders. Demarco Moorer then finished the drive up by walking in a two-yard touchdown to go up 6-0. In the second half, Arcadia poured it on and outscored Temescal Canyon 25-10 en route to its ninth straight victory. Quarterback Dylan Guerra put up another solid outing, going 11 of 17 for 169 yards and one touchdown. Arcadia will be on the road once again as they head out to Alta Loma to take on the 8-4 Braves in the CIF-SS semifinals on Friday. Winner of that game will head on to the championship game and will play the winner between Santa Ana and Kaiser.
