as monthly nature program and various scouting-related events. Because of the heavy use and lack of funding, many benches have deteriorated. Resulting in holes, cracks, and peeling paint. Some of the benches are rotted and unsuitable for seating. The benches need immediate attention; otherwise they would have deteriorated even further. “For my project, I renovated the Outdoor Classroom by restoring and repainting all the benches. I spent 4 days this summer to re-sand, restore the rotted wood, prime the entire bench first and repaint all of them. I have received finance support of
$50 from the local lumber store Ganahl Lumber in Pasadena and County Park and recreation department donation of the paint. My scout leader and fellow scout from my troop worked along with me on the project,” Guo told Beacon Media. At the end of the project, Eaton Canyon had a better outdoor classroom to host events. It was freshly repainted and all smoothed out so people would enjoy sitting on it more. Just the following weekend after the project was finished, Sierra Madre Search and Rescue team hosted their first event at the classroom according to the Eagle Scout candidate.

Matt Denny’s: A Community Hub With a Caring Owner Monica Sanchez monicaadeline2@gmail.com
Matt Denny’s, a popular grub hub in Arcadia, has been in business since 1999 and the brains behind the operation is owner Matt McSweeny. Family man and craft beer enthusiast McSweeny found his passion for serving craft beer delights and food to match during his 10 years of experience in a Pasadena brewery. But he’s not only passionate about serving up great dining experience because, more importantly, McSweeny cares about people. Matt Denny’s motto is “Just a few friends,” a line from a Jimmy Buffet song called “A Pirate Looks at Forty.” “This place is kind of like a Cheers atmosphere,” said McSweeny, “a place where everyone comes in and people know your name.” McSweeny is proud to have served generations of Arcadia citizens, having done “a lot of catering, a lot weddings and rehearsal dinners

The Baseball Reliquary Presents ‘Baseball: A Global Pastime’ Panel Discussion In conjunction with the exhibition “Baseball: A Global Pastime” (on view through Oct. 26 at the Arcadia Public Library), the Baseball Reliquary presents a panel discussion on the global impact of baseball on Saturday, Sept. 23, at 2:00 p.m., at the Cay Mortenson Auditorium, Arcadia Public Library, 20 W. Duarte Road, Arcadia, California. Panelists will include former major leaguer Roger Repoz, author and historian Byron Motley, and former international baseball scout Mark Garcia. The program is open to the public and free of charge. Roger Repoz played nine years in the major leagues from 1964-1972 as a lefthanded hitting outfielder and first baseman for the New York Yankees, Kansas City Athletics, and California Angels. He then played five seasons of professional
ball in Japan from 19731977 for the Taiheiyo Club Lions of the Pacific League and Yakult Swallows of the Central League. Repoz became one of the most feared gaijin (foreign) power hitters in Japan, connecting on 122 home runs in the Land of the Rising Sun. Repoz currently resides in Orange County. Byron Motley is a Los Angeles-based author, photographer, and filmmaker, and has written and lectured extensively on baseball in the Negro Leagues and in Cuba. He co-authored Ruling Over Monarchs, Giants & Stars: Umpiring in the Negro Leagues & Beyond, a memoir of his father, Bob Motley, the last surviving umpire in the Negro Leagues. His most recent book, Embracing Cuba, is a collection of photographs that Motley has taken

throughout the island nation over the last ten years. The book documents the Cubans’ adoration of baseball, a love so intense as to be nearly religious. Mark Garcia was a professional baseball scout for several major league organizations between 1982 and 2006, including working as a territorial scout in Southern California for the Milwaukee Brewers, and as an administrative assistant to the director of international operations for the California Angels. As an international scout for the Boston Red Sox, he covered Australia and Russia, as well as the Latin American and South Pacific markets, evaluating talent. Read the Full Story ArcadiaWeekly.com

Help The Boys And Girls Club Get A New Van In July, the Boys and Girls Club of the Foothills entered the So Cal Honda video contest – and won!! One of their drama club members, the incredibly talented Jaylen, starred in a
remake of the opening rap from Fresh Prince of Bel Air to explain why they need a new van so badly. Videos were judged on creativity, production quality, and clear statement of need.
Winning the contest is exciting news, because it means that SoCal Honda will match donations up to $10,000 to help them get a new van! Both of the Boys
and Girls Club’s current vehicles are breaking down frequently, and membership has grown so much that they don’t have room to accommodate every child who needs transportation.
Pink Patch Project: Monrovia PD Raising Funds to Fight Breast Cancer at LA County Fair The Pink Patch Project is a collaborative effort between the Los Angeles County Police Chiefs' Association (LACPCA) and more than 175 public safety agencies throughout the nation designed to increase public awareness about breast cancer and to raise funds for the fight against this disease. The program centers on vibrant pink versions of the agency’s uniform patches. Monrovia Police Depart-
ment employees will be wearing these pink patches on their uniforms during “Breast Cancer Awareness Month” this October. The pink patches are intended to stimulate conversations within the community and raise public awareness about the importance of early detection and treatment in the fight against breast cancer. The Monrovia Police Department is selling their commemorative pink
patches to the community, along with Pink Patch Project T-shirts, challenge coins, and other items. Proceeds from the sale of Monrovia’s commemorative Pink Patch Project items go to fund breast cancer education, research, and treatment at the City of Hope. Throughout September, Pink Patch Project volunteers will be staffing a booth at the Los Angeles County Fair. Pink patches and other related items will
be available for sale to the public with the proceeds going to the various hospitals and organizations we are supporting. Please stop by the Pink Patch Project booth and join us in the fight against breast cancer! When: Sept. 1 – 24, 2017 Where: Los Angeles County Fair (1101 W. McKinley Ave, Pomona, CA 91768), Exhibit Hall #4 For more information, visit the Pink Patch Project online.

OLD TOWN REPORT Pam FITZPATRICK pam@oldtownreport.com
The City convened our monthly merchant meeting this week (we call it MOTAB), and some of you may find it hard to believe that we are talking about the upcoming 4th Quarter already. Oh, wait, Oct. 1st is the start of the 4th Quarter, so no raspberries, please, if I devote some time to a few seasonal events. First, let’s start off with a very positive report from the IHL Group. These guys provide global research and advisory data for the retail and hospitality industries. Because our Old Town’s success is dependent on both industries (retail sales and visitors), I look for their opinion wherever I can get it. It seems that Forbes magazine has recently published a report saying more physical stores will open in 2017 than will close. “More discount and convenience stores are set to open, while traditional department stores and specialty soft goods will decline.” And that’s my first glance at the holiday selling season. This week’s MOTAB meeting also discussed plans for our annual Trick or Treat event and it looks like the City is planning to provide a map of merchants willing to stay open on Halloween for the kiddies. I’m really happy about this move to get more merchants to stay open, and also about the decision to continue with the Candy Stations around town as well. But, before Halloween, we’re going to have Hay Rides again! Saturday, October 7th and Sunday, October 8th the hay wagon will return for rides up and down Myrtle
ALL INDIA CAFE
from Library Park to Olive and back. Price? Just $2.00 per person – you can’t beat that! I’ll keep you posted on this one… I mentioned last week that MOTAB was going to select a volunteer Film Liaison to serve until July 2018. That position takes countless hours in preparation for each filming in Old Town, and many more hours on the day/night of each event to represent the businesses. Ted Goldbeck from Studio Movie Grill was chosen for this round, with final approval headed for City Council next week. I’m sure the City will prepare new informational flyers and all the merchants will be receiving his contact information in the near future. We’ll have a Wine Walk Recap Meeting Thursday evening, Sept. 14th, the day this paper publishes. I’ll tell you more after the meeting, but it looks like we had 414 folks in attendance and plenty of other visitors in the stores and restaurants. And – I think we’re going to have another one on April 21st 2018. I suspect we’ll be doing a better job next year at telling our visitors in advance that they can’t walk the streets with wine in hand… Once again, PLEASE SAVE THE DATE: 9/21/17 from 4 p.m. – 8 p.m. we’ll be celebrating “Peace in the Park.” Bring a guitar (or any other acoustic instrument), a picnic dinner, and your best buddy. Let’s have fun meeting new folks and just sharing a few hugs. We can all use a few extra hugs these days.

“surplus” or “excess” as their locations are eliminated from potential construction plans. Homes will not hit the open market immediately – the Roberti Bill (AB 113) requires that low and moderate-income tenants receive first priority to purchase, followed by affordable sales programs and housing-related entities. Phase 1 of the sales, which began in 2016 and is expected to conclude by the end of this year, included only 42 of the 460 parcels originally purchased by Caltrans
in a massive landgrab that traces its roots back to the early 20th century. According to a statement drafted by the West Pasadena Residents’ Association in response to the SR-710 North Study Environmental Impact Report, the California Department of Highways (which would later evolve into Caltrans) identified a freeway gap between Long Beach and Monterey Park as early as the 1930s. Over the years, the gap was extended to South Pasadena and eventually the I-210 Freeway – resulting in the

corridor we know today. The original plan was to construct a surface freeway extension that would connect the 710 Freeway in Alhambra, to the I-210 in Pasadena. So, between 1950 and 1978, Caltrans began purchasing hundreds of properties, with the intent to demolish the homes. Fast forward several decades later and Caltrans has seen plan after plan for closing the gap go down in flames. The most recent alternative to fail was a proposed underground tunnel that was
unanimously rejected by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) board this past May. Instead of the five-milelong project, which was expected to cost anywhere $3.2 billion and $5 billion, the Metro board decided to allocate $105 million from Measure R funds towards infrastructure improvements meant to alleviate traffic along the corridor’s surface streets.

Major Huntington Exhibition ‘Visual Voyages’ and Array of Related Programing Set to Begin Sept.16 A sweeping international loan exhibition at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens opens on Sept. 16 to explore how the depiction of Latin American nature contributed to art and science from the late 1400s to the mid-1800s. “Visual Voyages: Images of Latin American Nature from Columbus to Darwin,” presented in the Mary-Lou and George Boone Gallery through Jan. 8, 2018, features more than 150 paintings, rare books, illustrated manuscripts, prints and drawings from The Huntington’s
holdings as well as from dozens of other collections. Many of these works will be on view for the first time in the United States. It is complemented by a richly illustrated book, along with an array of other programs and exhibitions, including an installation created by Mexican experimental composer Guillermo Galindo. The exhibition is a part of the Getty’s Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA initiative, an exploration of Latin American and Latino art that involves more than 70 arts institutions across Southern California.

orporate environmentalism is not a new concept, but it’s an attitude that can be hard to adopt. To help, Pasadena’s Go Green Solutions, Inc. aims to take make energy-friendly lighting accessible to offices and parking spaces across Southern California. Go Green’s owners have an unexpected background. Both successful businessmen, William Meurer manufactured camera accessories for the film industry; Richard King created joint ventures between the US and China. Yet the health of our planet was a shared concern. “Richard and I were both concerned with the decline of the natural environment,” explained Meurer. “We wanted to do something in the green business space." After much research, Meurer and King set their sights on what every home and business needs: lighting. The intent was to swap energy-greedy fluorescent lighting with efficient LED tubes. With the most LED-friendly rebate program in the country, conserving energy in Pasadena became an affordable reality for many businesses. “Our first job saved the business over $5,000 a year in electricity costs just for their parking garage,” said Meurer. “Those

LED tubes have been on continuously for over 8 years without a single failure.” Go Green Solutions offers a full line of US-made, UL-certified (compliant with rigorous shock and fire hazard standards) LED fixtures and installation services. Not only do their products have the longest warranty in the industry, Go Green takes its conservation further by making them recyclable, too. Their dual-patented LED tubes are reusable, and can be returned once they’re worn out. “We take it back for

credit and reuse most of the parts,” Meurer explained. Go Green Solutions’ lighting is now cropping up all over Los Angeles, illuminating 24-hour parking garages, outdoor lots and interior office spaces. Now 11 years in business, more clients are hopping on the green train, including the Pasadena Public Library, City of Pasadena Police Department and even the LA Metro. So far, the lights are standing up to LA’s hectic commuter lifestyle.
“When we supplied 16,000 of our retrofit tubes for the Red Line tunnel, we gave the LA Metro a 10 year warranty with a $300 penalty for any that were defective,” said Meurer. To date, the lights are still shining at the end of the tunnel. As we learn more about how our human habits affect our planet, changes are being made. Pasadena, South Pasadena and other areas have retired single-use plastic bags in certain locations, and even major hubs like Seattle have passed other initiatives, like eliminating the use of plastic straws to keep them out of landfills. Plowing ahead, Meurer also has plans: like high color-quality LED lighting to improve workspaces as well as EMF services to clear homes of unhealthful cell phone and WiFi router magnetic fields. It’s something everyone can explore, not just businesses. “From employees to customers to the Pasadena community, we’re in the business of improving the quality of life on the planet,” said Meurer. For environmentally responsible businesses in our neighborhoods, the future's looking bright. Go Green Solutions is located at 545 S. Raymond Avenue in Pasadena.

Pasadena Unified School District Launches Attendance Campaign The Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) today announced the launch of “Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow,” a campaign to improve school attendance and get students to attend class at least 97 percent of the time, which equates to missing fewer than five days of school this year. “If kids aren’t in school, they can’t learn. Missing school creates gaps in learning because of the loss of continuity in learning,” said Superintendent Brian McDonald. “As a community dedicated to excellence and equity, we’re motivating students to be in school 97 percent of the school year so that they can be prepared for success in college and in life.” Because chronically absent students are 50 percent more likely to read below grade level, the district is stepping up efforts to get students back in class. Students in the early grades tend to miss the most school, with the problem peaking again in high school. In 2016-2017, 11.8 percent of
PUSD students missed more than 10 percent of instructional days. “Frequent absences make it difficult for students to be successful,” said Eric Sahakian, Assistant Superintendent of School Support Services. “Absences can also be a sign of difficulties or traumas in their home life; by identifying problems early, we can offer extra support so they can be successful at school and in life.” Absences from school or classes trigger phone calls and letters, and even home visits. The district has dedicated attendance staff who works with schools to improve the collection and reporting of student attendance data and to identify students who may be academically at risk because of repeated absences. Schools are reinforcing positive messages about school attendance and are offering incentives such as recognition awards and pizza parties during the school day or gift cards to
local restaurants and stores. According to state law, absences may be considered excused if they are due to personal illness, a medical or dental appointment, or the funeral of an immediate family member. Unexcused absences, such as vacations and family trips, are considered truancies. Regardless of whether the absence is excused or unexcused, missed days affect student learning as well as the district’s average daily attendance, which is used by the state to determine levels of funding. Increasing attendance by just 1 percent will increase funding to PUSD schools by $1 million. School attendance is expected to be added as a metric later this year on the California School Dashboard, which evaluates school performance.

Arcadia High School’s Students and Staff Aid Victims of Hurricane Harvey AHS’ Track & Field coach Mr. Schultz and resident Red Cross Club organize various drives as a humanitarian response to Hurricane Harvey Sandi KHINE sandiwink@gmail.com
On Aug. 25, Category 4 storm Hurricane Harvey struck the coast of South Texas. The first hurricane in 12 years to make landfall in the U.S., Harvey moved slowly over South Texas for four days until moving east towards the Gulf of Mexico and dissipating in Louisiana on Aug. 30. At the time Harvey made landfall, winds were 130mph, which led to the destruction of several homes and buildings in the area. Over the course of the four days that Harvey stayed over Southern Texas, precipitation was at an all-time high. Many homes and stores were completely flooded, thousands of people were displaced and refuge had to be sought in warehouses. By Aug. 29, 300,000 people had been affected by Harvey, and an estimated 30,000 displaced due to flooding and destruction. People and organizations from around the U.S. reached out in efforts to aid the victims of Hurricane Harvey. Among these was Arcadia High School (AHS)’s own Mr. Christopher Schultz. An English teacher and track & field coach, Mr. Schultz organized a drive to collect t-shirts and other items to send to the University of Houston (UH) basketball team and Athletic Department. Mr. Schultz was inspired by a tweet from UH’s Basketball coach Kelvin Sampson to organize this drive. He “had a lot of track team shirts… and decided to get them together.” Mr. Schultz’s original goal for the drive was to collect 300 items of clothing. However, after support from students and staff, over 700 items of clothing were gathered. He has personal
connections with the victims of Harvey, as “a young lady who used to be on the track team recently moved down to Corpus Christi, so [he knows] some people who were affected.” Mr. Schultz’s contributions to those in Texas helped immensely, and he believes that the students have learned that “a lot of small acts of kindness and genuine human concern can go a long way.” Another organization quick to step up and organize a monetary donation drive for those affected by Harvey was the Red Cross Club at AHS, led by co-Presidents James Shin and Nathan Wong. Unfortunately, Shin and Wong were unavailable for comment, but Vice President junior Jessica Hendra spoke out about her experience. The donation drive organized was “in collaboration with ASB to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Harvey… students would donate to any of their classes.” “They've lost everything, and being a sentimental person, the thought of losing some of the most important small items is really a difficult thing,” Hendra stated. “So I'm able to sympathize for them since they lost a lot.” Over the course of a week, around $2,800 was collected from the students. The money will go to the American Red Cross chapter in Texas to help those affected by Harvey. Hendra has “full confidence that the Red Cross saves lives and helps those in need.” From the drive, she and her organization achieved the goal of helping a national emergency from a local standpoint, and learned how students “can help respond to disasters… to make the big difference that people need.”

Monrovia Unified Middle School Opens New STEM Lab, Includes 3-D Printers and a Laser Cutter Clifton Middle School seventh-grade student Caroline Squirre was excited to learn how to build her projects through the school’s brand new 3-D printers and laser cutter, in addition to having an education focused on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), to help pave the road to her dream of attending the California Institute of Technology. “We will be able to expand our knowledge and learn so much more with this STEM classroom,” Caroline said. “I’m hoping that this class will help point me in the right direction in becoming an engineer.” Clifton community members celebrated the opening of a STEM classroom on Sept. 7 with a ribboncutting ceremony, viewing live demonstrations of the state-of-the-art learning tools and technologies. “Our students will be immersed in a learning environment that gives them the opportunity to be innovative and creative,” Clifton History
Teacher Paul Flores said. “They will use industry-standard technology that will give them the experience and skills needed to prosper in STEM fields.” Clifton was one of five schools across the nation to win Northrop Grumman Foundation’s 2015 Fab School Labs contest with the support of the community, receiving a $100,000 grant to provide a rigorous classroom environment that will prepare students for in demand careers. “Thank you to Northrop Grumman and the support of our community for helping us to provide valuable resources to our students and a space for them to further their learning and test their ideas,” Clifton Principal Jennifer Jackson said. “I am excited to see what our students will create throughout the year.” Clifton Middle School students will be immersed in a rigorous STEM learning environment and have access to state-of-the-art technology and programs used in today’s industries, while adopting an
innovative mindset. Sixth-grade students will learn the history and concepts of innovation throughout the term and participate in projects to develop their creative skills. They will create their own item or concept and improve their inventions to bring them to market by utilizing science and engineering practices. Once students reach seventh and eighth grade, they will have more opportunities to participate in rigorous hands-on projects. Students will learn how to craft flying objects through an aerodynamics curriculum, which leads to launching a rocket into the sky. Students will also learn how to code and create objects using computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) software. They will then bring their creations to life using 3-D printers and a laser cutter.

Career corner: Three Tips for Moving to Another City Angela COPELAND, angela@copelandcoaching.com
H
ave you ever thought of moving to another city? For many job seekers who are searching in a difficult market, I often recommend looking in other places. But, searching in one city while you live in another can be a challenge. In a new city, chances are good that your professional network is weak. You won’t have the same number of friends you can call and ask for referrals. When you do get an interview, it can be hard to get to the company in person. The entire process can be frustrating, and can leave you wondering if you should just stay put. If you’re interested in moving to a new city, follow these three steps to find a new job. They’ll make the entire process easier and faster. First, research all of the cities you’re interested in. Think about the qualities that matter to you. For example, you may want to live in a city with a certain size of population. Perhaps you want to be within driving distance of the mountains, the beach, or your aging parents. Cost of living may matter to you, or the quality of the nearby schools. Whatever qualities you select, create a spreadsheet where you can track how each city ranks. Narrow your list down to your top one to three cities. Next, visit the city (or cities) you’re most interested in. But, don’t go as a tourist. Plan a business networking trip. Have lunch with

friends in the area, and meet recruiters. Attend networking events and job fairs. Look for any opportunity to build connections and learn more about the local market. Not only will your knowledge grow, but people will take your interest in their city more seriously if they meet you. You’ll transform from a printed name on a resume to a real person. Last, save money for unexpected expenses. Although some industries pay for their employees’ relocations, not all do. After you land a job in a new city, there’s a chance you may need to pay some or all of your relocation expenses. If you’re moving to a more expensive market, you may also need a little extra money to make the transition seamless. Start saving now. Moving to a new city shouldn’t be taken lightly. Making the right move requires research, work and time. And, it takes honesty. Very often, job seekers ask me whether or not it’s okay to use a friend’s address on their resume and job application. Don’t be lured into this trap. You will forfeit any potential relocation the company would have paid. And, you’ll have to make up a story about why you’re not available to come in for an interview on short notice. When the company realizes you’re being dishonest, it will put an automatic strain on the relationship. If you are interested in moving, take the time to save and plan. Your search will take time, and possibly money. But, you’ll secure an entirely new place for yourself and your future.

Ask Dr. Canzoner: A Dental Visit can Save a Life Dr. Kenneth canzoneri, D.D.S.
Q:
: I lost a sister to oral cancer. I am always scared that I will have a sore in my mouth and not realize it is cancer until it is too late. What can I do?! - Panicked
Dear Panicked: I see at least one patient per week that is worried about a sore in their mouth being cancer. I am very sympathetic about this subject. A couple of years ago I had a very painful canker sore in the area near the back of my tongue and after a few days I began to worry and I even knew it was a canker sore! Oral Cancer is often described as the "forgotten disease," because each year over 30,000 Americans contract oral cancer, and it receives little publicity in
return. Oral cancer if found in late stages has a five year survival rate of around 30%. The good news is if it is found early, the survival rate jumps to 80% to 90%. Therefore the key is early detection. In our office either the Hygienist or myself does a thorough visual cancer exam and also an advanced VELscope Cancer Exam. The VELscope is an exciting, advanced early cancer detection device. It utilizes the technology of Fluorescence Visualization. Basi-
cally a hand held VELScope handpiece shines a safe blue light into the mouth to expose changes and lesions that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye. The complete cancer exam just takes a few minutes and is typically done at one of the dental cleaning visits. Don't let any reason for not going to the dentist keep you from having this life saving exam. More information can be found at oralcaizcerfoundation.org - Dr Kenneth Canzoneri

Mexico Earthquake Reminds Los Angeles County Residents and Businesses to be Prepared The recent 8.1 magnitude earthquake that hit offshore Chiapas, Mexico (U.S. Geological Survey: 11:49 p.m. PDT) on Thursday, Sept. 7 reminds Los Angeles County residents and businesses that a catastrophic earthquake could occur at a moment’s notice. The Los Angeles County region is vulnerable to large-scale earthquakes similar to the one that struck Mexico. The County of Los Angeles Chief Executive Office, Office of Emergency Management (OEM) wants to remind all County residents and businesses to take the necessary steps now to prepare for earthquakes and other hazards and threats. The following are some preparedness tips on what to do during an earthquake: To receive emergency notifications, register your cellular telephone and landlines at Alert LA County, go to http://lacounty.gov/emergency/alert-la. When you are in public places, be aware of your surroundings and identify your safe spaces. If you experience shaking, the recommended actions are to drop under a piece of furniture. Take cover under the piece of furniture by protecting your head and neck with one arm/hand. Hold on to the piece of furniture’s leg to keep
it from shifting or uncovering you until the shaking completely stops. Never run out of buildings during an earthquake as most people are injured by falling debris as they try to exit buildings during the shaking. If you experience shaking and are in a wheelchair or walker, lock your wheels, and cover your head and neck area with a pillow or some type of object that will deflect the debris from falling on to you. For information to register online for 2017 Great California ShakeOut, access https:// shakeout.org/california/ register. For more information on how to prepare for earthquakes and other hazards and threats in Los Angeles County, OEM has available online the County of Los Angeles Emergency Survival Guide – http:// lacounty.gov/emergency. Also, Los Angeles County residents, renters and business owners, including persons with disabilities and others with access and functional needs, may call 211 LA County at any time for emergency preparedness information and other referral services. The toll-free 2-1-1 number is available 24 hours a day and seven days a week. 211 LA County services can also be accessed online by visiting www.211la.org.

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.

by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

ing sold "as is". The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 325 Whispering Pines Dr., Arcadia, CA 91006. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: Approximatey $3,255,586.12 or 21,270,046.38 Yuan RMB (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. The Beneficiary may elect to bid less than the full credit bid. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation. 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. 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Lender, or the Trustee. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (626) 579-5350 or visit this Internet Web site www.superiordefault.com, using the file number assigned to this case 17-06-865. 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 in shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. 09/11/2017 Lender's Foreclosure Services, As Trustee Louisa Zavala, Trustee's Sale Officer 9/14/2017, 9/21/2017, 9/28/2017 ARCADIA WEEKLY

St. Monica Academy Alumna Molly Hagan Walks onto Notre Dame Lacrosse Team
- Courtesy photo
St. Monica Academy alumna Molly Hagan is the first freshman to walk onto the Notre Dame Women’s Lacrosse team in eight years. Only three girls were allowed to try-out to walk onto the team, and Molly was the only one to make it onto the 32-player travel roster.
Coaches told Molly that she was in the top 20 percent of the team for speed and overall fitness. They were impressed by her mental toughness, enthusiasm and spirit, and said she could expect to get playing time as a freshman. “We're completely thrilled,” says Molly’s dad, Jim Hagan. “She worked so hard on her fitness this past summer, but my wife and I were trying to be low key. We knew it was a long shot, and we did not want to get Molly's hopes unrealistically high. I couldn't be more proud of her. ND's campus will be seeing a lot of me this year.” Molly was the star of St. Monica Academy’s new lacrosse team last year and led the team to victories against athletic powerhouses like Long Beach Poly, Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks and La Canada High
School. She was also all-CIF in volleyball and basketball. In her senior year, Molly captained the volleyball and basketball teams to the playoffs and was the League MVP for both. “Molly’s successes and accolades put her alongside SMA's top female athletes,” says SMA Athletic Director Darren Bradley. “But in terms of agility, strength, and versatility, she is unmatched. She is SMA's best female athlete.” Molly is now SMA’s fourth NCAA athlete and second to play for a Division 1 school. Notre Dame was ranked 14th in the country in Women’s Lacrosse at the end of the 2016-2017 season, and they play in the competitive Atlantic Coast Conference with Boston College, UNC, Virginia Tech, Duke, Louisville, Virginia and Syracuse.
