yrtle Avenue will continue to be heavily impacted this week due to work related to an ongoing underground utility relocation project. Underground utilities include, but are not limited to, lines used for electricity distribution, traffic lights, street lights, natural gas transportation, telecommunication, cable television, water/wastewater pipelines, and broadband internet services. Underground utilities are also known as subsurface utilities. Recently, construction crews began work on Myrtle Avenue, from Walnut Avenue to about 200 South Myrtle. Monrovia coordinated
with the construction team to allow a street closure in the work area during the week from 7 a.m. - 5 p.m., and 7 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Fridays. The closure will be from Walnut Avenue south to the alley to allow for safe, unimpeded work of the crews. Access will remain available to all businesses either off of Myrtle Avenue or through the posted detours. Myrtle Avenue will be reopened nightly and on weekends (in time for the Friday Night Street Fair). The work area will be cleaned and all trenches will be secured with steel plates to allow for vehicular and pedestrian traffic every day. During working hours, there will be onsite inspectors to monitor traffic control and oversee the construction project. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this work, please call Public Works at (626) 932-5575.
City Council members addressed concerns on how funds from Measure K, or the Keep Monrovia Revenue Local Sales Tax, would be spent should the local sales tax measure pass, during a City Council meeting on Tuesday. In anticipation of the measure passing, City Council deliberated how to best reach out to the community for input, including the possibility of a citizen’s oversight committee. Measure K would raise the local tax by 0.75% to the highest rate allowed by law at 10.25%. This would prevent L.A. County and other organizations from imposing any other taxes. While the city would receive an estimated $4.5 million per year if the measure passes, the City Council acknowledged the lack of definitive plan for how that money would be spent. “Where that money is going to be spent? I know our City Council is very deeply concerned about that money and how it will be spent and will want to include the community on that.” Councilmember Becky Shevlin said. “No one wants to see increased taxes. This is a question as to who’s going to have control over that .75 gap? It will be filled by someone. And we’re saying we’d rather it be us, that we have control over that money,” Shevlin added.

The Monrovia Police Department received a $55,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety for a one-year enforcement and education program. The money will fund various activities intended to reduce deaths and injuries on California roads. “We are committed to keeping everyone safe on the road. We believe that through the enforcement of driving and DUI laws, we will reduce injury traffic collisions in Monrovia,” said Lt. Daniel Verna. The grant-related activities are for the 2020 federal fiscal year, which runs from Oct. 1, 2019, to Sept. 30, 2020. Funding from the Office of Traffic Safety will be used for numerous programs, including: • DUI/driver’s license checkpoints. • Patrols specifically looking for suspected alcohol and/or drug-impaired drivers.

nearby residence and Camou allegedly battered the elderly man inside the residence who tried to intervene, according to the District Attorney’s Office. Camou was out on bail in connection with these charges at the time of Custer’s disappearance,
according to the DA’s Office. In August, the Los Angeles County Sherriff’s Department and Amanda’s father, Rick Custer, held a joint press conference asking for the public’s help in locating Amanda. During that press conference, Lt. Scott Hoglund said witnesses saw Camou place Amanda’s lifeless body into the trunk of a Toyota Prius. Blood and a digging tool were later found inside the trunk by detectives. Custer, a single mother of an 8-year-old, had filed court papers in February seeking a restraining order against Camou, which she obtained on April 22.

his week’s City Manager’s Update from Interim City Manager/ Fire Chief Brad Dover includes a brief video explaining why the city wishes to increases the local sales tax to 10.25%, the maximum allowed by
law. The current local tax rate is 9.5%. This increase would keep local taxes in the community. As an example that the amount of money that goes out of the community does not equal the amount that returns to the community, the video explains that since 2017 Monrovians have paid more than $5 million to the county for
the homeless tax, but only $30,000 has come back to the community. This week the city has announced several community meetings regarding Measure K to allow citizens or ask questions about the issue. On Saturday, Oct. 19 there will be a MAP educational meeting about the subject at 11 a.m. at the Communi-
ty Center. On Tuesday Oct. 22 there will be a general community meeting in the City Council Chambers at 7 p.m. The Historic Preservation Commission will be reviewing the issue on Oct. 23 again in Council Chambers at 7:30 p.m. The city made presentations to two senior clubs this week.

ed, the subject was arrested.
At 10:01 p.m., a citizen called police to report a female subject in the 100 block of West Palm that had just damaged a light on the exterior of the Monrovia Community Center and was banging her fists on parked cars. Officers responded and located the female subject, who was found to be heavily intoxicated. The witness positively identified the female suspect as the one who caused the damage. She was arrested. Oct. 4 At 11:07 a.m., a victim of theft called to report their vehicle was broken into that morning, but they had not reported it to police. As they were driving in the area of Violet and Palm, they saw a male subject with their stolen makeup bag that had been taken from their vehicle. Officers responded and detained the suspect. A search of his person revealed he was also in possession of a credit card and checks that were taken out of another vehicle. The suspect was arrested. At 11:30 p.m., an officer on patrol in area of Peck and Duarte stopped a vehicle for unsafe speed and observed symptoms the driver was under the influence. After field sobriety tests were conduct-
Oct. 5 At 1:03 p.m., officers were dispatched to a 9-1-1 Hang up call in the 800 block of West Duarte. When they contacted the female resident, she claimed she didn’t mean to call 911, she only intended to make her boyfriend think she was, and that he’d left the location already. Officers entered the apartment to check on the welfare of the occupants and found a male subject passed out on a couch. When they contacted him, he provided a false name in order to avoid arrest for a warrant. They also found a methamphetamine pipe in his pocket. The subject was arrested. At 4:34 a.m., officers were clearing a call near Foothill and Mountain when they observed a vehicle run through the stop sign at the intersection. An officer responded and conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle. When he contacted the driver, he observed symptoms of intoxication. After field sobriety tests were conducted, the driver was arrested. At 11:47 a.m., officers responded to a business in the 600 block of West Huntington regarding a theft of electronics. The suspect fled

blotters on foot, heading west on Huntington. Employees described the suspects as two male Hispanics in their late 20’s, both wearing hoodies. They grabbed an iPhone and three iPhone watches, and then fled on foot through the parking lot. Officers responded and searched the area, but were unable to find the suspects. At 4:28 p.m., officers responded to a business in the 500 block of West Huntington regarding a suspect cutting security sensors off clothing. The suspect exited the store with the stolen clothing and was detained by officers. The suspect was arrested for petty theft and released on a citation to appear in court on the charges. At 9:11 p.m., an officer on patrol conducted a traffic stop in the 1400 block of South Mountain for an equipment violation. A computer check on the driver showed he was a wanted person out of Mississippi for a rape charge. They advised they would extradite. The subject was arrested. At 11:24 p.m., an officer on patrol stopped a bicyclist at Myrtle and Duarte for an equipment violation. The bicyclist was carrying a large box containing an unopened computer. The subject was
not able to give a good accounting for how he was in possession of the computer. The box had Walmart stickers on it, so the officer went to Walmart to inquire if it had been stolen. The investigation revealed the computer had been stolen from Walmart, probably minutes before the traffic stop. The subject was arrested for receiving stolen property. During the search incident to arrest, a methamphetamine pipe was found in his pocket. The subject was arrested. Oct. 6 At 1:28 a.m., officers were dispatched to a call reporting an intoxicated person knocking on an acquaintance’s door. Officers located the subject and determined he was too intoxicated to care for his own safety. He was arrested for public intoxication and provided a false name to officers in the field. It was later discovered that he had two no-bail warrants under his true name, which were added to his charges. At 2:26 p.m., an officer on patrol observed a vehicle parked in a no-parking zone in the 400 block of West Huntington with the driver standing in the number two lane of traffic. The driver entered the vehicle and headed west on Huntington. The of-
ficer conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle and found the driver showed symptoms of intoxication. After field sobriety tests were conducted, the driver was arrested for DUI. She was taken into custody. At 9:46 a.m., a vehicle burglary was reported in the 700 block of North Canyon. The victim parked her vehicle and went hiking in Canyon Park. When the victim returned to her vehicle a couple hours later, she found the passenger-side window had been shattered and her purse, which she had left in the vehicle, was missing. Oct. 7 At 5:31 a.m., officers responded to a business in the 900 block of West Huntington regarding an alarm activation. Upon arrival, they found one of the windows to the business had been smashed. No suspects were located. As the officers canvassed the area, they located five other businesses along West Huntington where the windows had been smashed and the businesses where burglarized. The businesses were in the 500, 600 and 900 blocks of Huntington. At two of the locations, the suspects attempted to gain entry to the safes, but were not successful.
ditional commercial burglary was reported at a business in the 500 block of West Huntington. The reporting party came into work and discovered a window on the west side of the business had been smashed. When he looked around to see if anything was missing, he noticed a desk and a bookcase in the back of the store had been ransacked. He was missing an envelope from the desk that contained cash. At 3:18 p.m., a residential burglary was reported in the 1900 block of South Peck. The victim parked her vehicle in her attached garage and closed the garage door. The victim left her purse in the vehicle. When she came out the next morning, the purse was missing. The garage door was still closed, but the pedestrian door was unlocked. The investigation is continuing. At 8:09 p.m., a motorcyclist was traveling west on Longden when the driver of a vehicle made a left turn in front of him and they collided in the intersection of Longden and Peck. The motorcyclist sustained minor scratches to his elbow and had complaint of pain to his wrist. He was transported to a local hospital for treatment. The driver of the vehicle was given a citation for the traffic violation.

California Becomes First in the Country to Mandate That High Schools and Middle Schools Start Later in the Morning Terry MILLER, tmiller@beaconmedianews.com
“
Our kids win today as State Senator Anthony J. Portantino’s (D – La Cañada Flintridge) school start time bill SB 328 has been signed by Governor Gavin Newsom,” Portantino’s press release stated. Senator Portantino has been in pursuit of a later school start time for years, having seen firsthand the effects of sleepy-eyed kids trying to stay awake in morning classes that start at 7 a.m. For many students that start time meant skipping breakfast and getting ready for school before the sun even rises. The new law will take effect over a phased-in period, ultimately requiring middle schools to begin classes at 8 a.m. or later while high schools will start no earlier than 8:30 a.m. The law apparently doesn’t apply to optional early classes, known as “zero periods.” While school schedules vary, a legislative analysis in July found that roughly half the schools in the state will be required to delay their start times by 30 minutes or less to comply with the law. An analysis of the 2011-2012 school year by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found the average start time for California schools attended by some 3 million middle school

and high school students was 8:07 a.m. Some of the state’s students were required to be in class before 7:30 a.m. California will become the first state in the country to mandate that high schools and middle schools start later in the morning. The bill is based on over three decades of research on teen health, sleep patterns and brain chemistry. SB 328 seeks to align school start times with the biology
of teens. Overwhelming research shows that when the school day starts later, children are significantly healthier and perform better in school. The California PTA sponsored and supported SB 328. While pediatricians and researchers from across the country united behind the bill, it faced stiff opposition. That opposition led to a veto from Gov. Brown last year. This year, Gov. Newsom “appropriately” saw
things differently and put children’s health and welfare at the forefront of education policy, according to Portantio’s office. “Today, Governor Newsom displayed a heartwarming and discerning understanding of the importance of objective research and exercised strong leadership as he put our children’s health and welfare ahead of institutional bureaucracy resistant to change. Generations of children will come to appreciate this historic day and our Governor for taking bold action. Our children face a public health crisis. Shifting to a later start time will improve academic performance and save lives because it helps our children be healthier. The PTA, researchers, doctors, educational advocates and every parent and child who worked tirelessly and passionately on this three-year effort should take pride in what we have accomplished with the passage of SB 328. When I heard the good news I literally got choked up because of the overwhelming positive impact this will have on our children and for the deep appreciation for everyone who took this journey together. I am beyond excited that now our work begins to implement this necessary educational and public health reform,” commented Senator Portantino. Read More at, MonroviaWeekly.com, Education

Mental Health Advice With Stan: How to Manage Peer Pressure From Others
Stan Popovich stan@managingfear.com
D
ealing with peer pressure can very stressful. It can be very difficult not to give in to your friends and peers in doing something you do not want to do. As a result, here are 6 tips on how to manage the stresses and anxieties of dealing with peer pressure from others. 1. Know where you stand on a certain issue Ask yourself if you are willing to do something that your friends want you to do. Think about it and determine for yourself where you stand on a certain task. Once you decide what you are going to do, don’t change your mind if your friends start to peer pressure you into doing something they want you to do. 2. Communicate your decision to your friends Explain to your friends what you plan on doing. Give them reasons on why you feel

this way. Be willing to answer your friend’s questions so they understand where you are coming from. If your friends get on your case on a regular basis, then maybe it is best to find other friends. 3. Be firm in your decision and show confidence Some people will continue to argue with you and this is where you need to show that you mean business. Do not give in to their arguments. Do what is right and stand firm with your decision. This can be tough but remind them that you do not feel comfortable in doing a certain task. 4. Hang out with different people who do not respect your decisions If your friends really like you, they need to respect you. Nobody wants to be with people who are trying to get them into some kind of trouble. You always have the choice to spend your time with the people you like. 5. Do what works best for you

Christians love Luke 6:29 as Jesus’ most beautiful lesson in patience and humility: “And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek, offer him also the other.” Yes, the Gospels teach that it’s praiseworthy to be a martyr or a victim. But is that really good advice? In real life, we learn that unless we are willing to cower in a corner with bowed head and knees bent in submission, we must fight back with all our strength. On a personal note, I was a weak little kid who wore glasses, so naturally a bully at school took delight in tormenting me. When my mother (of blessed memory) failed to convince the school authorities to control that bully, she said to me, “Mijo (my son), now you must fight back … and fight hard. Don’t retreat even an inch.” Well, I took her advice and although I emerged bruised from that memora-

Reader Sends Condolences to Ranger Family Sending my condolences to the Ranger family on the passing of Jennifer Ranger of the Dollmakers’ Kattywompus. Her death had me reflecting on the memories she left with me.
In 1999 I had the honor to co-host the Monrovia Day Parade with her; it was the last of the big parades that ended in Library Park with a carnival. Jennifer was part of the K-Gem family and in 2001 we won the W.A.V.E award for excellence in local cable programming —the show was “Meet the Mayor: Laura Blakely” in which people could meet and have a conversation with the mayor at various locations in Monrovia. - Ralph R.

students: patience, practice and persistence. And if you need help, find a calligrapher that will mentor and inspire you. The accessibility of CalligraFair makes finding that inspiration a breeze. Just $18 covered admission for both days, including demonstrations, access to the vendor fair and more. For an extra fee, attendees could sign up for intensive workshops, with all the proceeds benefiting the workshop instructors. Plus, all the tools needed to start your calligraphy journey is available in-shop at Smitten on Paper—which is unique amidst other stationery and art supply stores in San Gabriel Valley. This year’s event attracted a record number of attendees, an indicator that the calligraphic underground is slowly making its way to the surface. While she’s open to how it grows, for now, Kuo loves that CalligraFair is held within the beautiful confines of Smitten on Paper—and that everyone can participate. “This event was designed to give people a place to meet new friends; to learn and play and practice a new skill without being intimidated—and at a really low cost,” she says. “We love the idea of keeping it in this atmosphere and keeping it casual. Each year we just make it better and better.” Smitten on Paper is located at 114 E. Lemon Ave. in Monrovia.

alligraphy—once the stuff of ancient scripts—has risen again as a covetable skill amongst professional artists and casual hobbyists alike across Los Angeles. This past week, they converged at CalligraFair, a two-day event hosted by Monrovia’s own Smitten on Paper. Now in its third year, CalligraFair has flourished from a modest celebration of the medium to a full-fledged calligraphic playground. Last weekend’s event drew calligraphers from across the country and even internationally who enjoyed demonstrations, a vendor fair and hands-on workshops taught by renowned artisans in the calligraphy community. Because yes—there is such a thing as a calligraphy community. Just ask Nina Tran, who co-founded CalligraFair alongside Theresa Kuo, founder of Smitten on Paper. “I’m part of a ‘Pen Meetup,’” she laughs, describing her group of calligraphers who meet to write and chat all-thingspenmanship. Running in the same pen circles, Tran initially connected with Kuo as a means to host her classes. After reflecting upon the success of their meetups, Tran recalls Kuo musing on how to grow. “She asked, ‘What if we did this—but on a grander scale?’ All I could say was ‘tell me more.’” Since then, CalligraFair
has become its own pen group of sorts, attracting an avid following of eager learners. All types of calligraphy were covered in the fair’s workshops, from Kuo and Tran’s favorite “Copperplate” style (an old English style characterized by open, flowing shapes of varying thicknesses) to more modern freehand techniques. Angi Phillips, owner of Angelique Ink and CalligraFair demonstrator, believes in the advantages of them all. “Just the tactile nature of calligraphy, connecting the pen to paper, is therapeutic. There’s so much about it that’s tied to memory and retention and fine motor skills that it honestly becomes a meditative practice,” says Phillips, whose CalligraFair demonstration focused on the basics of building a hand-lettering business in the wedding industry. “And even though this was a dying art, this resurgence has allowed people to take a skill and make a really good living. She adds, “there’s value in that.” Not all demonstrations were geared towards those looking to monetize their skills. Free demonstrations covered everything from glass engraving to envelope addressing to how to mix different inks and medias. “You’re never too old or too young to learn calligraphy—I started writing again in my fifties,” notes David Mark, who led the inks and media demonstration. “You don’t even have to have good handwriting skills to write calligraphy! I have my three ‘P’s’ I tell my

Did You Know Oct. 24 is United Nations Day?

U.N. Day marks the anniversary of the entry into force in 1945 of the UN Charter. With the ratification of this founding document by the majority of its signatories, including the five permanent members of the Security Council, the United Nations officially came into being. he U.N.’s Charter states that membership “is open to all peace-loving States that accept the obligations contained in the United Nations Charter and, in the judgment of the Organization, are able to carry out these obligations.” However, critics will rightfully point out that the U.N. is not entirely made up of “peace-loving States.” As Hagar Hajjar Chemali, former spokesperson for the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, wrote for NBC News, “The U.N. system is noble, but it includes too many regimes that have repressive policies and in some cases are actively committing human rights abuses. These regimes use the international body to either try and further their own agendas or prevent the U.N. from carrying out its own.”

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.

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 is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

O
n Friday, the 6-1 Monrovia Wildcats continued to impress after they defeated the Temple City Rams 48-7. It was the second league game for the Wildcats so far this 2019 campaign, and both contest have been played on the road. Last week it was their strong passing game, along with their defensive prowess, that allowed them to shutout the San Marino Titans. They picked up right where they left off last week, as quarterback Nick Hernandez had yet another strong performance. Hernandez quickly solidified his place in the game as he opened the scoring in the first quarter after he threw a 10-yard touchdown pass. However following the score, Monrovia had their lone defensive mistake of the game as Temple City answered with a deep

touchdown pass of their own. In fact, the Rams took a 7-6 lead as Monrovia missed the initial PAT. Although the next kickoff was returned for touchdown by the Wildcats, the large run was taken back as there was a holding flag thrown on the returning team. Yet Monrovia failed to skip a beat during their second drive, as the offense used both their passing and running games to torch the Rams defense. After a short rushing touchdown from Monrovia back Devon Mayes made
it 12-6 in favor of the Wildcats, the Rams stormed down the field and eventually found themselves in the red zone. However, the Wildcats were able to make a strong defensive play after intercepting Rams quarterback Alex Vera. On the next play, the Wildcats scored an 80-yard touchdown, furthering their lead to 18-7. Read More at, MonroviaWeekly.com, under Sports

T
he Monrovia Football Wildcats, coming off a decisive 48-7 victory over Rio Hondo League rival Temple City, have run their record to 7-1 overall this season, including a 2-0 start in RHL play. The ‘Cats have played stouter defense in 2019, and have also been paced by some great offensive play. They find themselves now with two league games left, hosting South Pasadena (Oct 18 - Homecoming) and traveling to La Canada (10/25). The final week of the regular season (11/1) is the Wildcats’ bye week. Coach Christian Williams
has several standout players to call on. Offensively, the ‘Cats are led by seniors Nick Hernandez (Quarterback) and Mario Minor (Receiver), who are both statistical leaders in the San Gabriel Valley area. Defensively, the team is led by Linebackers Hunter Nicely and Jeremy Cruz. Daylen Wilson is a standout Defensive Back for the Wildcats. Monrovia went 5-1 in non-league play, with their lone loss coming September 6 against a powerful Los Altos squad. During that front half of the season they also defeated South Hills – a defending CIF-SS Divisional Champion – by a score of 27-24. Wins were also achieved over West Covina, Alta Loma, Covina and
Arroyo. The Wildcats believe in playing a solid pre-league schedule, to ensure they are battle-tested in preparation for the RHL and possible playoffs. After the remaining Rio Hondo League games and the bye, the ‘Cats will hope to host a first round playoff on November 8. Monrovia has not missed the football playoffs in the last decade, and there is no intent to miss them this year! Homecoming on Friday, October 18 should be exciting (fireworks!) and the game also doubles as “Senior Night,” recognizing the investment of seniors in Football, Cheer and Band. All fans of local high school football are welcome!
