THE MONROVIA OLD TOWN REPORT Pam FITZPATRICK |
I had the pleasure of speaking to a group of very friendly faces this week; topic of course, was one of my favorites – Old Town Monrovia. The New Horizons senior club is one of the many amenities offered by the City of Monrovia’s Community Services, and one of several senior-oriented groups. Thank you, Jean Kirby, city employee and my longtime friend, for inviting me once again. We had a good half-hour of reminiscing about the good old days, laughing about the many

transitions Old Town has faced (and suffered through!) over the years, and discussing where we are today and why all of it makes a difference to our tomorrows. It’s important on occasion to look behind you and see where you’ve been – face it, like it or dislike it – and move forward. That’s what we’ve done here in our little downtown.

Arcadia Fire Dept. and Methodist Hospital Teach Arcadia High School Students ‘Side Walk CPR’ The Arcadia Fire Department, Methodist Hospital and Arcadia High School partnered together in an LA County-wide Side Walk CPR initiative that teaches some basic life-saving skills anyone can do, if properly trained. Arcadia Firefighters and medical professionals of Methodist Hospital taught Arcadia High School students the correct “hands-only” Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Firefighters first explained the methodology and reasons one would perform CPR and how to alert the authorities as early as possible by dialing 911. For every minute a person in need of CPR goes without it, survival from cardiac arrest decreases by 7-10 percent. Hands-only CPR has been proven to be as effective as standard CPR. With 70 percent of cardiac arrests occurring at
home, it is likely the life saved with CPR is that of a loved one. Hands-only CPR, which consists of chest compressions minus mouth-to-mouth breathing. More information about Hands-Only CPR can be found at www.handsonlycpr.org/ Watch VIDEO Online at ArcadiaWeekly.om

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home for Sale According to industry experts, there are several physical problems that will come under scrutiny during inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of
these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable preinspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into
costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To order a FREE Special Report, call toll-free 1-888-300-4632 and enter 1003. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn’t cost you the sale of your home.

not a gang member … he was very kind and friendly. Everyone loved him. They shot him in the back.” Carlos attended Mt. Olive High School. The shooting is the fifth reported fatal attack in the Duarte-Monrovia area this year. Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.

The suspect’s predilection to drive victims to motels for the purpose of having sex and, instead, holding them captive, and forcibly assaulting them sexually, was seen as the general mode of operation. Special Victims Bureau investigators compared evidence and information provided by victims to similar crimes committed in surrounding police jurisdictions, and found they were connected, conducted by the same suspect as far back as the year 2012. A victim identified the suspect as Jason Chung Chien Yu, 41, of Monrovia. He is alleged to have frequented areas in the San Gabriel Valley including the cities of El Monte, Monterey Park and Temple City, as well as the southern-Los Angeles city of Lynwood. Yu is described as 5’10” tall, 165 pounds in weight, with brown, balding hair, sometimes wearing glasses, and of Chinese descent. Yu is suspected of committing multiple crimes against numerous victims over the course of several years. His spree ended on Wednesday, May 24, 2017, when he was arrested by Major Crimes Bureau detectives at his place of employment in Irwindale. He was booked at San Dimas Sheriff’s Station for multiple charges of Forcible Sodomy, and held in lieu of $1,370,000 bail. On Friday, May 26, 2017, Yu was charged with multiple sexual assault related crimes including, Kidnapping to Commit a Sexual Assault and Forcible Sodomy. Yu was arraigned on Friday, June 2, 2017, at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, and is scheduled to return on Friday, June 16, 2017. Detectives believe Yu victimized several women throughout Los Angeles County and are searching for any additional victims. If you are a victim or have information related to this

Cal-AM to Complete Pipeline Work in Monrovia Within the Month During the past few weeks, residents have noticed pipeline work occurring on Mountain Avenue, located just south of Huntington Drive. That work is being coordinated by California American Water Company (Cal-AM), as they are currently working on a pipeline replacement project. Cal-AM provides water service to the City of Duarte as well as some of the unincorporated areas of LA County, and their infrastructure does cross
through parts of the City of Monrovia. Based on conversations with Cal-AM officials, their pipeline replacement work will occur on Mountain Avenue, between Huntington Drive and Bloomdale Street, and they expect that the work will be completed by the end of June 2017. It should be noted that as this work is taking place south of Huntington Drive, it will not impact any of the recent road rehabilitation work that has taken place on
Mountain Avenue. Furthermore, staff has issued an encroachment permit for this job and has outlined expectations for traffic control/ mitigation, public safety and road reconstruction. As the project continues to progress, staff will be sure to share all pertinent details and keep the public informed of any anticipated traffic impacts. For any questions regarding the construction, please contact the Public Works Division at (626) 932-5575.

Carmela Ice Cream Co. Churn Down for what? Carmela Ice Cream by emily g. peters emilygpeters@gmail.com
F
or most of us, it’s never too early for ice cream. On a Sunday morning at Pasadena’s Carmela Ice Cream, doors open at 11 a.m. It’s just late enough so a scoop of something sweet is completely allowable. Here, Carmela patrons take a moment to enjoy their cones on the bench outside, the eyes of neighborhood kids fixating on the slowmelting scoops. Ice cream: we’re all at the mercy of its deliciousness. Carmela founder and flavor developer Jessica Mortarotti certainly tapped into something fundamentally human when she opened Carmela Ice Cream in 2007. Her background wasn’t in food service, but that didn’t deter her from her goal of starting her own business. “I was extremely interested in food concepts and trends, so starting a handmade ice cream business seemed perfect,” said Mortarotti, who heads up the business with co-founder and business developer Zachary Cox. “I believed that artisan ice cream was a wave that was about to hit the food world and was excited to get started, despite the fact that I had never made ice

cream before!” Luckily for us, Cox and Mortarotti’s determination paid off. The Pasadena location is elegant, friendly and fragrant with the scent of toasted waffle cones. Homemade vanilla bean marshmallows and fudgy chocolate sauce are on hand for patrons looking to dress their pints in style. Buttery cookies, coffee, tea? It’s all here too. As one of the few artisanal ice cream shops to pasteurize their own ice cream bases, each element complements the effort she and her staff sink into their craft. As for the flavors (like Mortarotti’s current pick of fresh mint with cacao nibs), they’re elegant, too— and, in a way, distinctly Californian. “We work with local and seasonal produce to craft the freshest and best-tasting ice cream imaginable,” said Mortarotti. “It’s that attention to quality that has consistently put us as one of the top ice cream companies in the nation.” Now ten years in business and the delicate script of the Carmela Ice Cream logo has
become a familiar sight around town. Winning countless awards both at home and nationally, Carmela churns away all over Los Angeles with storefronts in Pasadena, Woodland Hills and Mid-City. Staying true to their roots, they still scoop at farmers markets from Hollywood to South Pasadena to Monrovia. With such a universally appealing product, Mortarotti and Cox don’t plan to slow down. “We have always been interested in growing Carmela as a brand in a way that maintains the integrity of our product and our values,” she said. “We look forward to opening up more retail locations outside of the three we currently have.” Even with that vision in motion, Pasadena will always hold a special place in her heart. “Pasadena turned out to be an amazing place for us to launch our first location of Carmela,” she said. “We cherish our customer base and their commitment to the products we create here.” The Pasadena location of Carmela Ice Cream Co. is located at 2495 E. Washington Blvd. Contact them at www.carmelaicecream.com | store@carmelaicecream. com | (626) 797-1405 and follow them on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter @ carmelaicecream.

millennial feed
Why Millennials Feel the Need to Share Everything Work is done for the day; but while innocently browsing through Facebook on the couch, another Millennial has desecrated your down time with a post that shared too much. Instead of a like button, you’re wishing for a dislike button just to let them know they royally messed up. But slow down on that avalanche of judgment before considering reasons as to why Millennials might feel the need to share everything. Modern Scrapbooking Millennials aren’t the first group of people who have felt the urge to preserve snapshots of their life. People just love to hate Millennials. It’s become such a popular trend that even Millennials hate Millennials according to The Interrobang. There needs to be a scapegoat for the downfall of society, and Millennials provide that much needed service through their active presence on social media. But social media is basically modern scrapbooking. And isn’t scrapbooking viewed as a hobby some people enjoy? So why is there an aversion towards social media? It seems reasonable that people would opt for the cheaper version of this pastime than actually buying a scrapbook. Free Therapeutic Exercise Sharing everything on social media has also replaced the practice of writing in a journal for Millennials. Journal writing is a free therapeutic exercise that allows us to release our anxiety and overcome inner obstacles. Bridget Murray from the American Psychological Association says that “By helping people manage and learn from negative experiences, writing strengthens their immune systems as well as their minds.” Writing about one’s experiences on social media can serve as daily reflections that may
improve a person’s overall health. A Need to Be Liked Everyone wants to feel special and cared for in their peer group, even Millennials. Social media allows them to achieve that goal with minimal effort. While it may seem unfathomable as to why Millennials would crave love and affection, Dr. Fisher-Yoshida in Psychology Today explains how a lack of social acceptance can actually hurt us. She states that “emotional pain is both psychological and physical because it is processed in our brains [in the same ways] even though we may think these two types of pain are not connected.” So, Millennials share too much information on social media as an instinctive method of survival. It is safer for them to be accepted socially than ostracized. Excessive sharing on social media is not a fad dominated solely by Millennials either. Grandparents can’t fight the urge to post family pictures nonstop or comment on the misguided choices of their loved ones. Social media has seeped into the trigger-happy fingertips of people in every generation. Millennials just get the most flack for it because youth, unfortunately, makes all people seem obnoxious and irritating. Social media is only growing, so it’d be best to deal with whatever personal issues surrounding Millennials exist before heart palpitations arrive at the next click of a button.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property.

Reader Reflects on ‘3 Concerns Millennials Aren’t Worried About’ (June 1 Issue) Dear Editor, I enjoyed reading your article, Monica. You, and all the Millennials about whom you write, are in good company! I'm thinking about Jesus, who favored a life unburdened by material wants. Oh!...how he soared to
poetic heights when he told his disciples in Matthew 6:25: "Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body more than raiment?" And how it warms my heart that, Millennials, the new generation embraces the views of Henry David Thoreau, the American philosopher whom I have long revered. This is what he
wrote: "Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! Let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand. Instead of a million, count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumbnail." What better advice for us to follow as the compass by which to guide our lives? How I wish the Millennials could elevate our purpose and harvest the crop of those noble ideals before I die! -David Quintero Monrovia

GOT USED OIL?
MAKE THE CONNECTION! Stormdrains Drain to the Ocean
RECYCLE OIL AND FILTERS AT A PASADENA CERTIFIED COLLECTION CENTER LOCATION NEAR YOU! According to the Environmental Protection Agency, oil from a single oil change can ruin the taste of a million gallons of drinking water. Used motor oil accounts for more than 40 percent of the total oil pollution of our nation's harbors and waterways. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports that used motor oil can contain toxic chemicals and contaminants such as benzene, lead, zinc, and cadmium; all which pose a serious health threat to humans, plants, and animals. Used motor oil never wears out. It just gets dirty and can be recycled, cleaned, and used again. Recycling used motor oil conserves a natural resource (petroleum) and is good for the environment. Don’t throw your used oil down the sewer or in the trash, Recycle It!
Call 1-800-CLEAN-LA for locations to recycle Used Motor Oil and Filters

5 Reasons Why Young athletes should Attend Football Clinics Football clinics are growing rapidly throughout the country. With recent lawsuits, the National Football League invested millions across the country to help football clinics. But what are these clinics? Essentially, they build the foundation for young football players so they may avoid injury. These clinics are more than foundation builders and more children should be attending these clinics. Here are a few reasons why you should consider taking your children and grandchildren to football clinics. Fundamentals The youth will learn the fundamentals of the game. Football clinics are hosted by former and current NFL and College coaches and players. These coaches and players instruct the youth and teach them how to catch, throw, and run with the ball among many other things. The children will rarely receive a similar opportunity to be trained by talented coaches and players. Agility The clinics run multiple agility drills to help the youth improve. This is valuable knowledge that the coaches and players have spent careers learning. Through these skills, youth football players can improve their overall speed and quickness. Physical Activity

Football Clinics help youth grow. –Courtesy photo
With obesity rates going up, encouraging physical activity can make a huge difference in a child's life. Most of the time, these clinics are designed to encourage physical activity while hiding the fact that the youth are exercising. The coaches and players keep the youth entertained. Fun These clinics are fun to attend. For starters, there are other children to play with there. Also, the children have the opportunity to meet coaches and players that may be on their favorite sports teams. Next, all of the drills are meant to keep them enthralled with what they are doing. Finally, they feed you after it's all said and done. Staying Out of Trouble The most important aspect of these football clinics may be the fact that they encourage youth to stay out of trouble. "They teach life lessons and emphasize keeping kids out of trouble." said
La Salle Head Football Coach Russell Gordon. For some of these youth, sports are their ticket out of the horrible situation they are in. Encouraging them to stay in organized sports can change the trajectory of their lives. For others, it can keep them on the right path. Not to mention that they learn how to function in a group setting. Fundamentals and agility help improve the football talent of the children participating. Having fun is what sports is all about. If the child isn't having fun, then they don’t enjoy playing the sport. Physical activity and staying out of trouble are directly related to the well-being of the youth. These are a few reasons out of many others why youth should attend football clinics.
