Signal Synchronization Program Causing Delays on Foothill Boulevard Recently, the county began a program of synchronizing signals along Foothill Blvd. from western Pasadena through Monrovia to Shamrock Ave. The aim is to improve the timing of the signals to improve movement of vehicles and reduce traffic. People have begun to complain about delays at certain signals in the city. According to Oliver Chi in his City Manager’s Update this week, the delays are because the county has not completed this work. The County has advised city staff that while the timing is being adjusted, it could become a bit “disoriented.”

Chi explained that the County had advised the city that the work should be completed within approximately one month. After all the work to bring the roadway up to par, it will be nice to finally have unobstructed movement along Foothill.

Monrovia Public Library to Host Solar Eclipse Viewing A solar eclipse will occur on Monday August 21 from 9-10 a.m. The Monrovia Public Library will have special glasses for viewing the eclipse that will occur at 9:48 a.m. There will be special craft activities for children and snacks will be served. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon moves between the sun and the earth, thus casting its shadow upon the earth. While we will not have a total eclipse in this area, it will be substantial in this area. The direct path of the shadow will stretch across the nation to Lincoln Beach, Ore. to Charleston, S.C. according to the National

Next Thursday, on August 24, the City will host a public meeting to discuss historic preservation. The meeting is part of the efforts of ASM Affiliates – a historic resources consulting firm in Pasadena – who is in the process of preparing the historic context, which will serve as a tool for the evaluation of potential historic districts in the city. This study will provide the foundation for identifying and evaluating

historic properties and assist in the handling of such properties. Historic architectural themes will also be identified. During the meeting, ASM and the city will update the community on the project and present their initial findings. The public is being asked to add its input about potential places and themes in the city, especially those associated with local events and personalities.

In his city manager’s update, Oliver Chi wrote that those attending the meeting should be prepared by thinking of the following issues: - Do you value preserving Monrovia’s history? - What time periods in Monrovia’s history are the most important to you? - What themes and events in Monrovia’s history shaped how Monrovia looks today? - Who are the people in Monro-

via’s past that you consider to be historically significant? - What areas of Monrovia that still exist are connected to those themes, time periods, and people? The meeting will be held in the Community Room at the Monrovia Library, at 321 S. Myrtle Ave., from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Any questions should be directed to the Community Development Department at (626) 932-5565.

Two Pasadena Suspects Charged With Murder On Monday, Aug. 14, 2017, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office formally charged the following two suspects responsible for the shooting death of victim Sergio Luevanos (38 year old male, Pasadena resident) on July 24, 2017: Suspect Armando R. Hernandez, 18-yearold male and Pasadena resident, was charged with one count of murder in the first degree, with an enhancement of committing the act for the benefit of or in association with a criminal street gang. Bail is set at $3,040,000. Suspect Luis E. Figueroa, 19-year-old male and Pasadena resident, was charged with one count of murder in the first degree, with an enhancement of committing the act for the benefit of or in association with a criminal street gang. Bail is set at $3,065,000. The circumstances behind the murder involved Pasadena Police patrol personnel responding to the 400 block of N. Marengo Avenue on July 24, 2017 at approximately 11:36 p.m., regarding 9-1-1 calls of shots heard and a male

heard yelling. Officers arrived and found a single gunshot victim, later identified as victim Luevanos. Pasadena Fire Department paramedics arrived and transported the victim to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. For the past two weeks, Pasadena Police Homicide Detectives relentlessly pursued and exhausted possible investigative leads. Based on the investigative information cultivated, the suspects in this case were identified. On Thursday, Aug. 10, 2017, search warrants were served at various locations in Pasadena yielding the arrests of suspects Hernandez and Figueroa, and the collection of items of evidentiary value. The investigation revealed that although the incident was isolated between the parties involved, this was fueled by rival gang ties. “Our team of dedicated and professional Criminal Investigators relentlessly pursued leads, resulting in the identification and apprehension of two murder suspects. Although the criminal filing is only the beginning of the

judicial process, we hope their arrest is the start of a healing process for the family and friends of victim Luevanos,” stated Police Chief Phillip L. Sanchez. Anyone with further information about this

case is encouraged to call Pasadena Police Homicide Detective Jose Urita at (626) 744-6489 or the Pasadena Police Department 24/7 at (626) 744-4241. You may also report information anonymously by calling

Higher Housing Prices and Tight Inventory Drag Down California Housing Affordability Higher home prices resulting from a severe lack of homes for sale and high demand during the hot home-buying season eroded California’s housing affordability in the second quarter, the Arcadia Association of REALTORS® said recently. The percentage of home buyers who could afford to purchase a median-priced, existing single-family home in California in second-quarter 2017 fell to 29 percent, down from 32 percent in the first quarter of 2017 and down from 31 percent in the second quarter a year ago, according to the California Association of REALTORS® Traditional Housing Affordability Index. This is the 17th consecutive quarter that the index has been below 40 percent and the lowest since third-quarter 2015. California’s housing affordability index hit a peak of 56 percent in the first quarter of 2012. The Housing Affordability Index measures the percentage of all households that can afford to purchase a median-

priced, single-family home in California. The California Association of REALTORS® also reports affordability indices for regions and select counties within the state. The Index is considered the most fundamental measure of housing well-being for home buyers in the state. A minimum annual income of $110,890 was needed to qualify for the purchase of a $553,260 statewide median-priced, existing single-family home in the second quarter of 2017. The monthly payment, including taxes and insurance on a 30-year, fixed-rate loan, would be $2,770, assuming a 20 percent down payment and an effective composite interest rate of 4.09 percent. The effective composite interest rate in first-quarter 2017 was 4.36 percent and 3.85 percent in the second quarter of 2016. Home prices have nearly doubled since affordability reached its highest level five years ago, and compared to then, home buyers now need twice the income to purchase

a median-priced home. In the first quarter of 2012, buyers statewide needed a minimum annual income of $56,320 to purchase a home that was priced $279,190. And in the San Francisco Bay Area, a home buyer needed a minimum annual income of $90,370 to purchase a $447,970 priced home just five years ago. Compare that to the current minimum income of $179,390 needed to purchase an $895,000 priced home now. Condominiums and townhomes also were less affordable in second-quarter 2017 compared to the previous quarter. Thirty-eight percent of California households earned the minimum income to qualify for the purchase of a $443,400 median-priced condominium/townhome in the second quarter of 2017, and an annual income of $88,870 was required to make monthly payments of $2,220. Forty percent of households could afford to purchase the $414,840 priced condo or townhome in first-quarter 2017.

Imprintability Makes Branding Virtually Limitless

emily g. peters emilygpeters@gmail.com

“Y

ou can’t be everywhere, but your logo can.” This is the slogan of Imprintability, a printing and promotional products business founded by owner Jennifer Stone in 2005. It’s this kind of brand-forward thinking that has allowed Stone to transform her lone-wolf operation into a successful business. “I do the sales, the marketing, the estimates, the orders, the artwork, the invoicing, everything,” said Stone, who began as a cashier at Staples in 1993 and worked her way up to operations manager. A classic definition of a self-starter, Stone became inspired to launch a side business because of her interest in printing, ultimately creating Imprintability. Yet deciding to go solo meant deciding to go all-in. “I soon realized that there was no way to grow the business while still working for Staples 50 to 60 hours a week,” said Stone. “I took a leap of faith and resigned to work full-time on Imprintability. This October, we’re turning 12 years old!” Imprintability is all about helping other businesses boost their brand exposure. Clients can select from over 700,000 promotional items—meaning one can get a logo on virtually anything. “Imprintability offers printing, promo items, signs and banners,

Aug. 10 At about 1:07 p.m., an officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle in the area of Woodruff Avenue and Albert Way for being reported stolen out of Arcadia on May 27th. An investigation revealed the driver had placed a stolen license plate on his vehicle and both he and the passenger were in possession of bolt and wire cutters.

Firefighter Burkle mentioned that “it’s always sad to see a family lose their home, [but] it’s rare to see so many (42 people) lose their homes all at once...As a unit, we felt it was important to reach out and help.” President of the Arcadia Firefighters Association, Brian Ursettie talked about how growing the relief fund was only made possible by “gathering all leaders and influencers to help these families.” Other than the Arcadia Firefighters Association and the Assistance League, other organizations that were there, ready to serve, were Foothill Unity, Pet Food Bank, American Red Cross, Women’s Club, Arcadia Association of Realtors, Arcadia Chamber of Commerce and the Arcadia Rotary. In addition to monetary donations given to the relief fund, organizations offered gift cards, health services, USDA foods, hygiene kits, clothing and other necessary supplies.

Monrovia Unified Board Advocates in Washington D.C. for Increased Special Needs Funding Monrovia Unified’s Board of Education members advocated throughout Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. from June 21-24, urging California elected officials to secure more funds for special education services. Board of Education members met with Rep. Judy Chu and staff for Rep. Grace Napolitano, Sen. Kamala Harris, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and U.S. Department of Education program specialist Matthew G. Schneer in Washington, D.C. to relay the challenges school districts face in subsidizing federally mandated special education services without sufficient funding. “I am proud of our Board of Education for being a voice for our students and community, and bringing to our elected officials’ attention to some of the issues we face as a District,” Monrovia Unified Board President Bryan Wong said. “This is the first step of many we’ll take to ensure the success of all of our students.” The Board first met with California officials in Sacramento in February when Clifton Middle School was named to the Great Schools to Watch List, which identifies outstanding schools that promote academic excellence, responsiveness to early adolescence and social equity, and other facets. The Board of Education pursued a national conversation regarding special education

meetings underscored the importance of this concern within our District,” Williams said. “We do not expect overnight results, but are heartened by the reception from our elected officials and believe this will be a vital step toward holding our government to its commitment to serve the needs of all students.” The Board of Education will continue to advocate for improved funding and meet with representatives in Sacramento later this year. “Monrovia Unified is dedicated to providing access to a high-quality education for every student,” Monrovia Unified Superintendent Dr. Katherine Thorossian said. “Our priority is to foster the growth of every student. This trip was part of our ongoing, collaborative effort to offer programs and resources that ensure every student has the support they need to have a bright and successful future.” - Courtesy photo / MUSD

funding when Clifton was later honored for the same achievement in Washington, D.C. They discussed how school districts need increased funding to fulfill the academic and support needs of students in special education programs.

Board Vice President Terrence Williams, who is also a parent of a student with special needs, said the Board’s united approach to the funding issue elicited encouraging responses from officials. “We believe the entire Board’s presence at these

Propanc Health Group Changes Name, Continues Cancer Research

T

he Australian-based biotech company, Propanc Health Group, which has been developing proprietary treatments for cancer patients suffering from solid tumors such as pancreatic, ovarian, and colorectal cancers, has changed its name to Propanc Biopharma Inc (OTCQB:PPCHD), according to its Board of Directors, who approved the corporate name change. “As a result of the company’s recent progress and anticipated upcoming milestones, we believe the timing is right to change our company name to better reflect our stage of growth and development, as well as execute the reverse stock split,” says James Nathanielsz, Propanc’s Chief Executive Officer. “Given that we expect to complete our GLP toxicity study very soon and expect to then move forward with First-In-Man studies of our lead product, PRP, we wanted to launch our corporate strategy to address our capital structure, reduce debt, and raise additional capital sufficient to progress PRP through clinical development.” The company’s lead product, PRP, is a novel, patented formulation consisting of two pancreatic proenzymes, trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen. Currently, PRP aims to prevent tumor recurrence and metastasis in solid tumors. Eighty percent of all cancers are solid tumors and metastasis is the main cause of patient death from cancer. The company’s initial target patient populations include pancreatic, ovarian and colorectal cancers. In addition, the company is currently compiling results from the recent 28-day GLP-compliant toxicity study for its lead product, PRP, and completing histopathology and biochemistry assessments to determine the toxicological effects of PRP at different dosing intervals. Overall indications

suggest that identification of a safe starting dose for First-InMan studies is possible. To further move the company forward, Nathanielsz attended the European Small Cap Investor Conference in Paris in April, involving one-on-one meetings between institutional investors and listed companies throughout Europe, USA and

Asia Pacific. “By undertaking these steps, management hopes to better position the company for an up-listing of its common stock to a national stock exchange in order to help ensure the longterm future of the company and create value for its shareholders,” says Nathanielsz.

3 Reasons Why Millennials Aren’t Tying The Knot Sadie gribbon, sadiegribbon@gmail.com

M

illennials are marrying and having children at much later stages in life than the generations before them. Being nurtured through technology, Millennials have seen what the world has to offer and they aren’t ready to settle as easily as generations before. Millennial women are marrying at an average age of 26 and 29 for men, compared to the 1970s when women were a median age of 20 at marriage and men at 23. Not only are Millennials unwilling to settle for anything beneath their dreams, but they are slow to settle down with a partner and be stunted by children for multiple reasons; here are just a few: Millennials are the most educated generation in history thus far According to the White House Economic Advisers, Millennials have the highest rate of post-secondary education in history. They have seen the value of a degree after witnessing the Great Recession and view society as risk/reward game. They have been a generation ridiculed for receiving “participation awards” instead of facing the fact that there are winners and losers, but this has forced Millennials to see the world in front of them differently; if you put in the work, say for a college degree, you reap the benefits of higher pay. According to White House Archives, “Increas-

ing college enrollment is in part a response to decades of rising returns to education for workers and heightened income inequality between the college-educated and the lesseducated. Millennials’ commitment to higher education is therefore a rational response to a labor market that confers large rewards on more educated workers.” Millennial women are more realistically empowered now than ever before For the Millennial generation, women account for nearly half of the entire workforce. Women from generations before them like Elizabeth Warren have stood up in front of a primarily-male Congress and protested for women’s rights and are the reason why there are more women in Congress right this minute than there ever have been. It is hard to become something you have no example of, and women from previous generations have paved the way to show women since they were little girls that they can achieve their dreams no matter how large. This doesn’t mean we, as a generation, have achieved anything near equality in the workplace. According to the 2016 Women in the Workplace Report women still have less access to senior leaders than men, while they negotiate for raises as much as men they are “30 percent more likely than men who negotiate to receive feedback that they are ‘bossy,’ ‘too aggressive,’ or ‘intimidating.’”

Millennial women are marrying at an average age of 26 and 29 for men, compared to the 1970’s

when

Women still face inequality in the workforce, but parental leave has become more flexible and flexibility makes being in the workforce slightly easier, as they are still seen as primary caregivers for their children over men. This skewed version of society is yet to be overcome, but society is slowly edging closer. No longer living in a workforce where being able to lift over 50 pounds is a requirement, brain strength is higher paying and in higher demand than before, which is amazing for the female population as they account for more than half of higher education degrees in America. For women, having a successful career is now an option in a workforce that recognizes sexual harassment as an issue and economic policy that prohibits gender inequality. With a less “Mad Men” style environ-

ment, women have a shot of serious careers so getting married and having children is put on the backburner until their late twenties, a drastic change from generations before. The majority of Millennial’s parents, Baby Boomers, have been divorced Baby Boomers have the highest rates of divorce, more than half of their generation’s marriages have ended that way. Humans are behavioral learners: we see, we do. But younger generations are more inept to recognizing behaviors that are considered bad in the American social structure. So as we see our parents burn their hands on the flame of marriage, we think twice. This doesn’t mean Millennials do not want to get married, but they see their options and opportunities as stepping stones to be reached before coming to the

conclusion of marrying. Of course, Millennials think this makes us wiser or more atoned to our needs, but there is still plenty of time to end up in the same boat as our parents. Rates of divorce have declined for the Millennial generation, but this doesn’t mean it will stay that way, as most marriages that began in the 1990’s ended after 15 years. Millennials are a confusing generation; they are independent, strong-minded and inventive. Education level, gender roles in their society and the constructed idea of marriage has changed. Time is not measured the same to Millennials and when it comes down to what is important, finding happiness through a successful, creative and worldly career beats marriage hands-down … or at least until their late twenties.

The floss came out of the teeth on the face!” Imprintability represents that harmonious shop-small mentality that’s become one of the hallmarks of Monrovia’s business culture. Stone’s glowing testimonials and reviews are packed with local entrepreneurs and organizations based in and near the city, calling her services “white glove” and “above-and-beyond.” And although Imprintability began in Duarte, the relationships Stone has established in Monrovia has inspired her to get more involved around the area. “I’m currently on the boards of the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce and Monrovia Reads. I’m a past president of the Monrovia Chamber of Commerce, but still currently a member, and am also a past board member of the Santa Anita Family YMCA and the Kiwanis Club of Monrovia,” she said. “When I joined the Monrovia Chamber of Commerce, I found an amazing

community of people. After that, there was no other place I would have thought to have my business.” As more businesses take root in Monrovia, Imprintability’s services are likely to remain in high demand. Being a part of their success stories is what makes it all worth it for Stone. “The part I love most about my business is that I get to build relationships with people and help them grow their own businesses,” she said. “Imprintability has heart.” Imprintability is located at 128 E.

L.A. Controller Calls for Consolidation to Curb City Healthcare Costs Galperin says taking workers’ comp care, group healthcare out of their silos would yield major savings City Controller Ron Galperin called for the City to explore consolidating workers’ compensation health insurance with employee group health insurance in order to curb City employee healthcare costs, which have outpaced overall City expenditures over the last decade. “This common-sense reform would help the City get a handle on healthcare costs while giving injured employees quicker access to care. Consolidation is a win-win solution for everyone,” said Controller Galperin. “At a time when quality healthcare can’t be taken for granted, innovative

reforms like this will allow us to continue caring for employees while saving money.” L.A. would be the first major city to integrate workers’ compensation healthcare and group health insurance. Cities currently place employee healthcare and workers’ compensation healthcare in bureaucratic silos. Bringing those silos together would yield savings and other benefits. In fiscal year 2016-17, the City budgeted $716.1 million for employee benefits (health, dental, optical, disability, and life insurance) for more than 47,000 workers. Separately, the

City budgeted $159 million for workers’ compensation not including the Department of Water and Power, of which nearly $100 million went toward healthcare for injured workers. Integration would reduce L.A.’s overhead costs for workers’ compensation healthcare, help injured employees return to work sooner, minimize disputes, lower medical costs, and provide better data. Controller Galperin also recommended exploring consolidation of some of the City’s 19 employee health benefit plans, expanding wellness programs, and appointing a Chief Medical

Officer to oversee all City health programs, and more. The Controller issued his recommendations in a report that found that the City of Los Angeles spent an average of $13,077 a year per employee on healthcare in 2014-15, with 77 percent of employees having paid no out-of-pocket premium costs. The report studied the health benefits offered to City employees under agreements with bargaining units representing general City employees, police, firefighters and Department of Water and Power employees.

Man Sentenced for Beating Death of USC Grad Student A 21-year-old man was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the 2014 murder of a University of Southern California graduate student, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. In June, Andrew Garcia was found guilty of one count each of first-degree murder, robbery, attempted robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. The special circumstance allegation of murder during an attempted robbery was found to be true. He was sentenced today by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge George Lomeli. Deputy District Attorney John McKinney with the Major Crimes Division prosecuted the case. Garcia and others confronted 24-year-old Xinran Ji, who was walking home from a study group near the USC campus

shortly before 1 a.m. on July 24, 2014. The victim was struck several times with a bat and a wrench before he ran away. Garcia eventually caught up to Ji and hit him repeatedly with the bat. Ji made his way back to his apartment where he died. He was found hours later by a roommate. Garcia, along with co-defendants Albert Ochoa, Jonathan Del Carmen and Alejandra Guerrero also robbed a man and a woman near Dockweiler Beach, the prosecutor said. Guerrero, who was 16 when the murder occurred, was convicted in October 2016 of one count each of first-degree murder, robbery, attempted robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. A sentencing date hasn’t been set. Del Carmen and Ochoa are awaiting trial. Case BA427590 was investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department.

Pasadena Homicide Suspect Identified and Arrested At about 8:58 p.m., Monday Aug. 7, 2017, Pasadena Police detectives arrested a suspect in connection with the shooting death of a Pasadena man earlier in that day in the 1000 block of East Maple Street. Police identified the suspect as Deleon Jackson, 22-year-old male of Pasadena. He is currently being held on $3 million bail by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. On Monday, Aug. 7, 2017, at approximately 3:20 a.m., Pasadena Police responded to the 1000 block of East Maple

Street after receiving several 9-1-1 calls from citizens who reporting hearing a gunshot and seeing a male lying in the street bleeding. Officers arrived on scene and located the male adult victim suffering from a single gunshot wound. Paramedics responded and transported the victim to a local hospital in grave condition. The victim later succumbed to his injury at the hospital. The victim was identified as Eric Lamar Holloway, 27, of Pasadena. During the next 17 hours, Pasadena Detec-

tives conducted a non-stop, exhaustive investigative in dogged pursuit of the identity and arrest of homicide suspect Jackson. The case was presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office on Aug. 10, 2017. Prosecutors have formally charged Jackson on one count of murder in the second degree. The investigation revealed both victim and suspect were acquaintances in good standing with one another. The motive remains undetermined and still under investigation.

Anyone with further information regarding this incident is encouraged to call Pasadena Police Detective Anthony Russo at (626) 744-6412 (weekdays) or the Pasadena Police Dispatch line 24/7 at (626) 744-4241.

Why the Mind is Overrated

ife would be great if everyone just got along. The world would be a much simpler place. Unfortunately, human nature is anything but simple. We’re complex creatures. People are simply hard to understand. If everyone understood each other then we’d have no more disagreements - no more arguments or conflicts. Some people would give anything for that to happen. According to society, the best way to understand a person is through their thoughts and feelings. However, that’s impossible. We have no way of knowing what anyone is thinking or feeling. Sure, we can ask them. Unfortunately, they may not even know themselves. There’s a more reliable way to understand the people in our lives. However, it involves using a different lens: Experience. We all have a history full of experiences. Your experiences have shaped you into the person you are today. Unlike thoughts and feelings, we can see each other’s experiences. If you study people’s experiences long enough you’ll start to notice patterns. These patterns can be used to understand each other. This is what behavioral science is built on. Behavioral science uses people’s experiences to predict their behavior. Predicting behavior is why we choose to understand thoughts and feelings in the first place. We want to know what someone is thinking so we can expect what they’ll do next. However, we don’t need thoughts and feelings to do that. According to a research article published in the Journal of Experimental

Analysis of Behavior, our experiences are made up of consequences. We’re rewarded and punished for things that we do. Our experiences also have ‘triggers’, or events that started them. These triggers are related to our consequences. For example, as a child you may have had an aunt or uncle who spoiled you. Every time you saw them (trigger) you chose to hang out with them and be spoiled (consequence). If you put people’s triggers and consequences together you can predict how they’ll behave. This can be done without having to guess anyone’s thoughts or feelings. Unfortunately, society has down-played the role that the environment has in our lives. The environment has more control over us than we realize. Our triggers and consequences come from the environment. Our environment is also filled with people and objects. Many times a specific combination of people and objects will trigger a person’s behavior. This can be as simple as a greeting to as complex as a job. The fun thing is figuring out what that combination is. My point in writing this article is to give you a different way to look at the world. As a society we’ve been taught that reading thoughts and feelings is the best way to understand someone. However, that’s guesswork. And guesswork can be dangerous. We should be sticking to what we see instead. Look at the triggers of people’s behaviors. Look at the consequences of their actions. Look at how they mingle with their environment. You can learn depths about a person without having to guess what’s on their mind. That’s not opinion, that’s science.

Toothpaste Confusion Dr. kenneth canzoneri, D.D.S.

P

atient Question: My hygienist recently suggested that I use a toothpaste that fights cavities. I took her advice and went to the drug store. As I stood there and stared at all the toothpastes on the shelves I came to the conclusion that I had no idea what to buy. I would appreciate some direction. Signed: Toothpaste challenged. Dear Toothpaste Challenged: There are certain toothpastes for certain problems. If you want a cavity fighter you will need toothpaste with fluoride in it. Fluoride helps patch the enamel so decay will not start. Fluoride will be listed on the toothpaste as sodium fluoride, sodium monofluoroohosphate, or Stannous fluoride. If you have sensitive teeth a desensitizer in your toothpaste will be very helpful. Desensitizer will be listed on the toothpaste packaging as

arginine bicarbonate, potassium nitrate and strontium chloride. Now in all honesty 90% of all the questions about toothpaste in my office sound like this. "How do I get my teeth whiter?" Toothpastes that whiten your teeth have either a stain remover (listed as sodium tripolyphosphate, hexametaphosphate or hydrated silica) or a bleaching agent (listed as calcium peroxide or hydrogen peroxide) in it. It is very important to keep in mind that sometimes teeth can be sensitive to these whitening agents and then toothpaste, with a combination of whitening agents and desensitizer will he needed. As always please ask your dentist if you'll have any concerns with regards to toothpastes. I want to thank Daniel Mindiola. Ph.D., for his valuable research.

Apache Football Has Arrived Bradford yau

this year, he “makes sure to consistently hit the weights and go for runs every night to practice and play well conditioned. No one enjoys cardio and it's often slept on but it pays big time late in games.” To be well informed and have a positive mentality carrying out these tasks is huge, and it is something that the entire team should adopt to replicate their CIF berth season that occurred just last season. Not only have the benchwarmers had a great start to the season, but also the starters as well. Starting cornerback and Senior Ramon Morfin is one to have enjoyed the recent practices, as “he has benefited from the hard work and dedication that his teammates have encouraged him to do.” After watching a few of the practices and observing the players, Morfin’s claim seems to be true, as most of the players play with such vigor and high intensity: almost identical to as if they were playing in a real game. After talking to a few of the players post practice, their favorite drill seemed to be the “Oklahoma Drill”, which

he first week of August signals a few different things. School is less than two weeks away, Apache Day registration is days away, and AHS Football training begins! AHS Football is known to be one of the most popular events that the school offers, as students and parents support their school and friends in an interactive and exciting manner. Needless to say, the success of the Football team is dependent on the rise of attendance of games and therefore the support. This is why the practice is so imperative for athletes to get ahead, as it allows them time to prepare for the season to start and familiarize themselves with the playbook and defensive schemes that the coaches want them to master. However, for some players, the Football grind did not start just this month, but about two months ago. Rising Senior Aaron Yeung is one of these players, as in his efforts to attempt to earn minutes

is a drill that involves hard hitting rewarding the last man standing. Not only does this build strength and better hitting, but it also brings competitiveness and desire to win, which can translate into games. AHS Football looks to maintain its strong characteristics and foundations that it used to propel a very successful 9-4 record last season and a first CIF berth. Preseason practice usually gives a good indication to where the team stands and how successful they can expect to be during the season, so many can be optimistic to how well the team is doing at the moment. The first game is August 28 at La Salle High School, located closeby in Pasadena. It’s definitely worth checking out the Apache athletes in their first game against a rival school!
