On July 11th, the Mayor’s Old Town Advisory Board (MOTAB) will review proposals for short term parking adjustment in Old Town. According to Oliver Chi’s City Manager’s report, over the last few months, staff has been “assessing a variety of different parking adjustments in Old Town to respond to merchant inquiries regarding possible ways to
improve the overall parking situation.” There are long term, medium term and short term plans being considered. The short term adjustments to be considered by MOTAB include beginning to offer valet parking in Old Town, making adjustments to inconsistent red curb markings on Lime Avenue, just east of Myrtle Avenue, and increasing on-street parking time for spaces located on Lime Avenue and Lemon Avenue (between Ivy Avenue and Myrtle Avenue) from 90
minutes to 3 hours. The City will also begin a merchant education program encouraging merchants and employees to park in the Paragon and Colorado Commons parking structures. These adjustments are relatively simple according to Chi and can be implemented quickly (pending the input of MOTAB). Chi also noted that the City will continue to develop other improvements including potentially using private lots.

Next week’s professional production for the community, ‘The King and I,’ is emblematic of the Monrovia Unified School District’s commitment to the arts in education. While this production involves professional actors, dancers and musicians, the cast includes several Monrovia High graduates and 15 children from the
local elementary schools At a time when, in the face of budget restraints, many school districts are limiting their arts programs, Monrovia Unified has done more than most to emphasize both the performing and visual arts. The level of importance the district places in the arts is made especially clear in SEE PAGE 11

Metro Amps Up Security to Protect Arcadia, Monrovia and Pasadena Public Transportation Residents by Sadie gribbon, editorial intern editorial@beaconmedianews.com
Metro officially began the process of amping up Metro security by adding local LAPD law enforcement to patrol the rail and bus lines, ensuring the safety of Arcadia, Monrovia and Pasadena residents who use and rely on public transportation. Just last week, Christopher Harrison Goodine was cited by two foot-beat officers from the Gold Line transit police for urinating in the station. When Goodine refused to identify himself, the officers arrested him and, upon searching his duffle bag after arrest, the officers found multiple weapons including guns, ammunition, rope and a machete-type knife. Due to incidents like these, the number of people feeling unsafe on Metro has gone up over the last couple of years and Metro aims to fix it by utilizing the LAPD. In Metro’s Spring 2016 survey, 19 percent of riders did not feel safe riding Metro rail, while feeling generally the same about waiting for Metro to arrive; 18 percent felt unsafe in the
station. “Improving public transportation means making sure that all of our transit lines are safe to ride, so that Angelenos can move around our city, and connect with one another,” said Mayor Eric Garcetti in a press release regarding heightened security on Metro. “This new approach puts more LAPD officers on patrol keeping our communities safe, and makes Metro a better transit system for all of our customers.” Metro and LA county are partnering up and using Measure M funds to mirror the transit systems in Oakland, Sacramento, Denver and Portland by working with outside agencies to provide a safer ride for commuters. Measure M is a half-cent tax imposed on retail transactions that is aimed at improving transportation and easing traffic congestion. With extensions of Metro rail and bus lines to receive $29.9 billion in funds - more than any other Measure M projects - over the next 40 years, an increase of Arcadia, Monrovia and Pasadena residents using public transportation is projected. With more riders comes more need for security. “This law enforcement partnership with Metro will not only bolster the LAPD’s ability to
respond and react to crime while protecting the commuting residents of Los Angeles, but it will also strengthen our commitment to relationship-based policing,” said LAPD Chief Charlie Beck. “The men and women of the department will be able to have more interaction with Angelenos, which will hopefully continue to build bridges between the department and the public.” The plan for increased policing on the rails and buses is to have 314 security personnel aboard Metro over a 24-hour span. With increased police presence, Metro claims that they will be able to cut down response times for crime from 16 minutes to five to six minutes. The bulking up on security for Metro lines became effective as of July 1, whether the increase will lead to less crime and a higher feeling of safety for commuters aboard and awaiting Metro is yet to be known. With increased police presence, Metro claims that they will be able to cut down response times for crime from 16 minutes to five to six minutes. - Photo by Terry Miller / Beacon Media News

ark Cake Shop has been getting some buzz the last few years. It’s garnered multiple local awards and, just this winter, Los Angeles Magazine noted their berry shortcake as a must-try in Los Angeles. Though only arriving on the scene in Pasadena in 2015, Lark Cake Shop owner John Hensley has been building a name for himself since 2007 when he opened the first Lark Cake Shop in Silverlake. Formerly working in television, Hensley turned to baking due to his own love for premium, from-scratch baked goods, ultimately baking his way back to San Gabriel Valley. “I grew up in the San Gabriel Valley, and Pasadena is very dear to my heart,” said Hensley, who chose Pasadena’s Historic Highlands neighborhood for Lark’s second storefront. “We provide cakes, cupcakes, treats and dessert bars for everything
Business
Lark Cake Shop from weddings to corporate events to kids coming home from school and popping in for a cupcake.” The shop’s sweet treats are an ideal addition to the neighborhood. Here, Hensley balances a clean aesthetic with flavors like lemon key lime, vegan Boston banana and (my personal favorite) carrot cake. Hensley’s stand-out selection? The icebox cake. “Our ice box cake/ cupcake is seven layers of chocolate wafer or gingersnap cookies iced with whipped cream,” said Hensley. “It's light and like nothing you've ever tasted. It's our most popular item for good reason.” In true community form, Lark sources ingredients from other local artisans. Their most recent ice box creation is spiked with the Cold Brew Concentrate supplied by neighboring Pasadena favorite Lavender and Honey Espresso Bar. “The new product is offthe-charts delicious,” said Hensley, “and it's great to partner with another local business.”
Like with all sciences, precision is key to Lark Cake Shop’s baking success with new products and patron favorites. Hensley seeks to set Lark apart by striving for consistent quality. “The toughest part of establishing success is consistency. Not just the product, but the decoration, the service, everything,” he said. “It has to be perfect every day, every time. We try very hard to achieve this daily.” For now, it looks like the future of Lark Cake Shop lies in opening new locations—a strategic gamble for any business owner, no matter how successful. Yet as Hensley scopes out his next move, he seems to
have found something of a homestead in San Gabriel Valley. “The Historic Highlands neighborhood has a great mix of people who've really been supportive. The historic building we're in, The Shops on Hill, is such a beautiful building and it's exciting to be a part of an up-and-coming location,” he said. “We love being part of the Pasadena community.” Lark Cake Shop is located at 1355 N. Hill Avenue in Pasadena. Contact them at www.larkbakeshop.com | 626.798.1031 | pasadenainfo@larkcakeshop.com and follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @ larkcakeshop.

Now’s a Good Time to Quit Smoking… On July 1, 2017, the tax rate on tobacco products other than cigarettes will increase from the current rate of 27.3 to 65.08 percent of the wholesale cost. In November 2016, California voters approved Proposition 56, which increased the excise tax rate on cigarettes, and expanded the definition of “tobacco products” to include little cigars, tobacco and nicotine intended for human consumption, and electronic cigarettes sold in combination with nicotine. In keeping with California law, the Board
of Equalization (BOE) adjusts the tobacco tax rate annually during its April meeting. In accordance with Revenue and Taxation Code section 30123(b), the BOE is required to annually calculate a tax rate on tobacco products that is equivalent to the combined rate of tax imposed on cigarettes ($2.87 per pack of 20, or $0.1435 per cigarette).

Proceeds from the event will go toward Cancer Charities such as the Dr. Susan Love Foundation Research for Breast Cancer, where the majority of the funds go toward cancer research, and The John Wayne Cancer Foundation. “The funds we raise from this rare cultural concert will go a long way towards research for the cure and prevention of cancer for these cancer charities,” said James Liang. “Cancer is a worldwide and global concern. According to the National Cancer Institute, the rate of people getting cancer will rise about 50% from 14 million to 22 million in the years 2013 to 2030. It is estimated that almost 40% of the world population will have cancer in the future. Worldwide cancer deaths are expected to rise from 8 million to 13 million. Cancer in Taiwan is already the number one disease. They have made advances in health and medical research over the years
because of it. The aim for a cure will hopefully be sooner through working together.” “This is a rare and special treat to be able to attend a performance of an ancient lost art form, revived and brought back to life, from the only troupe performing it in Taiwan. Now it is available to see only for 1 day in America at the world-famous Pasadena Civic Auditorium. All the performers and organizers are volunteering their time, resources, and hearts to helping raise funds and awareness for Cancer cure and prevention because Cancer affects everyone globally…in Taiwan and America,” says Kailin Gow, the event’s Program Director and Emcee. “It takes a community and worldwide support to help beat this disease and find a cure,” Kailin Gow said. “At this event, not only will you see a rare special performance, but there will be a chance to see how everyone working together can help fight cancer.” More information about the event can be found at: https:// www.spreadinglovefightingcancer.com/ Spreading Love Fighting Cancer Taiwan American Cultural Charity Concert & Musical is non-profit. Tickets for this event will go on sale through Ticketmaster Online and at the Box
Office are now available. Cancer Statistics (From National Cancer Institute) •Cancer is the second leading killer of Americans, and the leading cause of death worldwide, including in Taiwan •Many cancers increase with age and many minority groups are more highly exposed to environmental contaminants. •Experts agree that most cancers are caused by lifestyle factors such as smoking, diet and alcohol, but the other factors are environmental. •The number of new cancer cases will rise to 22 million within the next two decades. That is a 50% increase worldwide. •Approximately 39.6% of men and women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during their lifetimes (based on 20102012 data). •The Good News: As the overall cancer death rate has declined, the number of cancer survivors has increased. These trends show that progress is being made against the disease, but much work remains. Although rates of smoking, a major cause of cancer, have declined, the U.S. population is aging, and cancer rates increase with age. Obesity, another risk factor for cancer, is also increasing.
Billboard Blues Artist Anthony Gomes Performs in Arcadia Anthony Gomes, #1 Billboard Blues Artist, will be bringing his high energy blues rock show to Arcadia Blues Club in Arcadia, California on Friday, August 4 at 8:00 pm. Doors open at 7:00 pm. Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door. Click here for more ticket and venue info.
Anthony Gomes has been creating virtuosic, burning blues since his recorded debut in 1998. 12 releases and numerous awards and ecstatic accolades later, his latest album, Electric Field Holler, crackles with bare wire passion. The aptly-named, riff-laden Electric Field Holler has received highly
acclaimed recognition; reaching #1 on both Roots Music Report's Blues Rock Chart and ReverbNation’s Global Blues Chart as well as earning several nominations for Blues Rock Album of the Year. Anthony, joined by bassist Carlton Armstrong and drummer Freddy Spencer
Jr., will be showcasing songs from his latest release as well as performing fan favorites from past albums. Gomes sings and plays with integrity and deeply felt emotion oblivious to fortune and fashion. The resulting music is a blazing cathartic experience radiating therapeutic heat for body and soul.

down the street is also open for our thousands of visitors. This is a family day for us: my grandson, Collin, and I had brunch at the Myrtle Tree Café and several other family members met for coffee up at Coffee Bean. We choose to celebrate this special day in the place we love – Old Town Monrovia. We can keep the shops open, but alternate who’s behind the counter so each of us can enjoy the day. True, we’re not grilling and chilling, but we’re not washing dishes tonight, either! I’m glad for another reason that our store by the theater was open today. Someone broke a piece off the Daniel Stern sculpture this morning and left it on the ground. A customer kindly brought the piece into the shop for safekeeping. I always worry when I see folks, both little and big, climbing that beautiful piece of art. The sidewalk is hard, and a fall from the top of the “Producer’s” head could crack a real head. Then there’s the damage that kind of unplanned use of this photo-op can cause.
There is a Producer’s Chair right next to the Producer, and the chair is meant to sit in – like the bench next to Mark Twain at the park. Message? Let’s be careful folks… Now let’s talk about eating again, specifically at the Myrtle Tree Café. After being open for a couple of years now, this hidden treasure is still a bit too hidden. Where is it? 405 S. Myrtle Ave., directly across from the theater. I think it’s closed on Mondays, though occasionally I have seen them open Monday mornings, but they are open Tuesday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Friday through Sunday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. They serve breakfast and lunch, then dinner starting at 5 p.m. Besides the multiple choices of sandwiches, paninis, wines, beers, and tapas, Myrtle Tree also has a market with specialty foods and a delicious deli. Friday night is Jazz Night at the Café, and there is music throughout the weekend. Selfishly, I want to keep this place my secret, but realistically, I have to share. Try the Myrtle Tree Café – you’ll love it!
On to two new shop openings – hurray for Grey and Cash who opened on July 1. They are still working on their business hours, but I did see them open last Saturday. Looks like specialty coffee and tea drinks, light breakfast and lunch items. The Attic Events and Home Treasures in the 300 block (where Knot Too Shabby used to be) opened a couple of days ago, and I finally got a chance to stop in and say “hi.” The owners, Wendy and Malinda, weren’t in but I did meet their employee, Chelsea, who was as excited about the new shop as I was. We were both looking around and admiring things: I picked out a pair of novelty earrings that say “Be Happy.” Chelsea says she goes home every day and tells her mom she wants to buy everything in the store. I love the enthusiasm! There are a lot of upcoming events: Saturday, July 29 another Traditional Music Gathering up at Library Park at 7 p.m. August 26 at 5 p.m. is the Monrovia Wine Walk, and don’t forget the Sunday Concerts in the Park.

throughout the City. The city has been developing signage concepts for both the east end and west end of the main east-west arterial corridor in Monrovia. The Art in Public Places Committee will be reviewing these concepts at one of their upcoming meetings, and based on feedback received from that group, a formal recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for consideration in the very near future. It is also important to note that the City is working on an entry monument sign for the west end of Huntington Drive, which is being coordinated in concert with a larger capital improvement initiative that involves new signals and some roadway realignment work at Huntington Drive / 5th Avenue. That project should be ready for consideration toward the latter part of the calendar year. Finally, as the Huntington Drive entry monument sign project moves forward, the City is simultaneously developing a coordinated entryway monument signage program for the entire community.

the creation of the position of a Director of Performing Arts. As Director, Patrick Garcia has overseen the drama, music and arts programs throughout the schools. There are many more than just High School Drama and the various bands in the schools. Each year, the elementary school students have worked with a professional artist to create murals at their schools (perhaps one of the most visable may be the depiction of Diego Rivera’s Fiesta on the north wall of Monroe Elementary School facing Colorado Blvd). Members of ‘A Noise Within,’ the professional theater company in Pasadena, work with students at one of the two middle schools to stage one of Shakespeare’s plays. They focus on much more than just the production. The youngsters are taught stage fencing when the play calls for it. They learn the meaning of the words of the play. Garcia reported that after last year’s production at Clifton Middle School, he overheard one girl comment to another, “Now I really understand
- Courtesy photo
why Shakespeare’s work is important.” Each of the nine professional productions has given the stage crew at the high school experience. In addition, the drama department has run the concession stand at every production at the Taylor Performing Arts Center, even those by groups other than those associated with the District. According the Garcia, this has added to the funds available for the high school’s own productions. “Superintendent Dr. Katherine Thorossian has been amazingly supportive of the arts,” Garcia recently said. “Her interest and support has made a
huge difference in all our programs.” Next week, the school district will present ‘The King and I’ at the Taylor Performing Arts Center. The performances will be on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 8 p.m., Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 5 p.m. General Admission is $25 with VIP tickets available for $35. Discount tickets are available for groups, seniors and students. Tickets can be purchased on line at www.brownpapertickets.com, in person at Monrovia Travel on Myrtle Avenue and at the door. Saturday matinee tickets are only $10 for all seats (except VIP).

National PTA Votes to Support Healthy Sleep & School Time for Teens Senator Anthony Portantino (D–La Cañada Flintridge), author of SB 328 (Healthy School Start Time), applauds the recent action by the National PTA, which voted to adopt a Resolution on Healthy Sleep for Adolescents. Research has shown that moving high school and middle school start time later improves student health and academic performance. The action by the National PTA embraces that research. SB 328 is a California specific proposal that passed through the State Senate and is currently being heard in the State Assembly Education Committee. It calls for California’s middle and high schools to start no earlier than 8:30 am. The bill has the support of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the California State PTA. Highlights from the National PTA’s resolution include: “Evidence proves that implementation of later school start times for adolescents affords students the opportunity to obtain optimal levels of sleep, thereby improving physical and mental health, safety, academic performance, and quality of life; and can be achieved with no change in the number of hours spent engaged in athletics, extracurricular activities, and homework after the schedule change.” “National PTA and its constituent associations support the efforts of school districts to optimize sleep for students and urge high schools and middle schools to aim for start times that allow students the opportunity to achieve optimal levels of sleep and to improve their physical and mental health, safety, academic performance, and quality of life.”

HEALTH HEALTH 6 Reasons Why Going Outdoors Can and Will Make You Healthier by Olivia Chiang oliviaxchiang@gmail.com
E
specially with technology and social media so prevalent nowadays, it is important to remember to take the time to pause, rewind, and get some fresh air outside. Here are just a few of many reasons why: 1. Stress Relief Anxious or stressed? Go for a walk in the park without your mobile device. Oftentimes disconnecting from such fast-paced technology and the endless stream of text messages can clear your mind
and relax your body, as you are not pressured to check your Instagram feed but rather to enjoy the wildlife and greenery. 2. Improved mental stability Exercise and a breath of fresh air can easily ease mental health problems such as depression or anxiety. From the green from the plants to drinking water to the physical exercise, strolling outdoors can take your mind away from those things and reduce the levels of bad moods and feeling down. 3. Improved memory Because you are not
distracted when outside and away from your phone, you are less likely to wander your mind and instead, focus on yourself and only yourself. It has been proven that walking among trees and greenery improves one’s short-term memory compared to those walking among city life, where it is busy and distracting. 4. Indoor air pollution It’s a misconception that there is a lot of pollution outdoors that can damage our body, but in reality, indoor air pollution is much worse. Inside, you are exposed to dust, particles from cooking appliances, chemicals from furniture, carpet, and even mold that can be damaging to your health, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. 5. Gained Energy More often than not, we automatically reach for Starbucks when we feel deenergized, but rarely do we ever consider going outdoors, hiking, or taking a quick jog. Connecting and being one with nature has proven results to decrease the tendency and
levels of feeling tired, which is why simply going outside is extremely helpful when feeling exhausted. 6. Increased Vitamin D Levels Increasing your Vitamin D levels is important because it helps fight colds, flus, infections, and helps build up your immune system to fight those viruses. High levels of Vitamin D is also known to prevent you from developing chronic diseases, one being cancer. So there you have it; six valid reasons why you should go outdoors more often. Do yourself a favor this weekend and take a stroll outside to truly experience all of the benefits it will do for your health, your mind, and you.
It has been proven that going for a jog, hike, or just simply stepping outdoors can improve your mood, mental health, relieve stress, and overall make your body stronger and healthier. –Courtesy photo
millennial feed
‘The M word’: millennials in the eyes of millennials' by By Tom Williams, Guest contributor tjhw@st-andrews.ac.uk
The Pasadena Independent has a Millennial Feed, which questions and details most of what they – we – do, our values, our worries. I was expecting it all to have been written by an elderly, terrified person who ascribed to the stereotyping; yet I was pleasantly surprised to find articles written by an actual, real-life millennial, all of which were fair and understanding. For this purpose I won’t repeat many of the insightful analyses and statistics made therein; but I will, instead, try and think slightly more abstractly – outside the box, if you will. Doesn’t it feel like all you ever hear about is millennials: like the world is under siege by a mysterious thundercloud of advanced technologies and Unicorn Frappuccinos? Occasionally I find it absolutely impossible to forget that I am one of these feared and unknown aliens, such is the frequency and hideous relish with which we are labelled by older generations, the media or even ourselves. On some days I feel that I do not want to be a member of this silly, emotional, fragile age; and yet some days these very things fill me with a revolutionary spark of pride. That we are so frequently ostracised and problematized by our peers and the media – perhaps the very thing for which we are most (in)famous – in such a backstabbing manner hopefully indicates to non-millennials how confusing it is to be a millennial. It may be surprising to learn that millennials don’t identify as one large homogeneous group. I was born in 1995, pretty close to the end of
the millennial group. But I am an individual, and I have my own personal tastes, which make me more like some millennials than others. I like theatre, videogames and literature, whereas others like opera, films and non-fiction; yet we are able to bond over the common denominators of drama, excitement, and a good story. Different generations aren’t as different from one another as we think. Millennials do share certain traits – widespread usage of technology, an unwillingness to marry early, a lack of fulfilment in careers, sometimes even a lack of faith in a god of any type. These are not things that millennials actively seek to do, but rather are by-products of our time. The amount of information available to us has made us the first generation to truly be aware of the world’s complexities and cruelties. Yes, the world has always been cruel. But we are no longer limited to the telegrams and newspapers of some of the worst conflicts in history: we have unlimited access to the tears of every victim of every crime across the globe, all in High Definition. We are forced to carry not only our own fears and sadness but the grief of the whole world on our shoulders. Is it any wonder that we share the aforementioned traits? Is it so surprising when we take such delight in so small a thing as a Unicorn Frappuccino?
Research surrounding millennials’ obsession with the internet and documenting every aspect of their lives online suggests this may be a mechanism for coping with stress. - Courtesy photo

a Salle High School football is scheduled to host a flag football camp from 9a.m. to noon July 10 –July 14 in Pasadena. La Salle High school holds two yearly summer camps for boys and girls in all sports offered at the high school. It is their way of giving back to the community even for a brief moment during the summer. The second installment of the flag football camp is also a week-long camp where children ages 6-14 receive training from La Salle football coaches including head Coach Russell Gordon. The camp provides 3-4 hours per day of instructional based training in football. It is a great opportunity for the youth to learn the small details of the game of football. Although football is played in pads at the high school, collegiate and professional level, flag football is still very much useful in the development of youth. Most drills are done without having pads on so the youth still develop skills that they normally would in a full contact football workout.
Flag football also works on their agility and elusiveness which is sought after in football players. It is easier to pull a flag than to tackle a person. It is also harder to make the defender miss pulling a flag. The youth are forced to be shifty and to practice their moves in order to evade defenders. The camp environment is very competitive and fun for the all the children. The children will be competing with one another trying to make a better catch or better throw. It is also a great opportunity for the youth to get some physical activity. More importantly, it encourages youth to be active and to join organized sports. This is the last flag football camp that La Salle will be offering this summer. For more information visit La Salle High School's website. Listen to AUDIO on PasadenaIndependent.com
