100 Years Plus Is Nothing New at Arcadia Senior Care Facility Monica SANCHEZ monicaadeline2@gmail.com
Vista Cove, an assisted living senior care facility in Arcadia is helping residents live until 100 years old. With the quality of care and attention they have provided to each senior who chooses to stay with them, 18 residents so far in the last ten years have been able to live a full century. Vista Cove’s most
recent centennial star is Charles Hackett, who likes to be called Chuck around the facility. Chuck was born on Nov. 15, 1917 in a small town, Arlington, Texas, and has been a member of the Arcadia community since 1955. During his lifetime, he worked at standard oil leasing service stations in the San Gabriel Valley, enjoyed traveling around the country in his motorhome, and
is the proud father of two children, a son and daughter, who gave him two lovely grandchildren. At Vista Cove, Chuck is certainly one of the most memorable residents as the staff admits that he often likes to play practical jokes on staff members. The staff jokingly referred to him as a “smart aleck.” When Chuck isn’t joking around, residents, staff and family SEE VISTA COVE PAGE 13

New Business Friendly Zoning Code Tim SCHWEHR, Economic Development Analyst, City of Arcadia
For this week’s Highlighting Downtown Arcadia column, I’ve been invited by the Downtown Arcadia Improvement Association to discuss the City’s new Business-Friendly Zoning Code for the area, and some of the exciting opportunities it has created for the downtown. Adopted in November 2016 as part of a comprehensive
noteworthy and important for the economic growth and continued revitalization of Downtown Arcadia. First, to encourage additional mixed-use development around the Arcadia Metro Station, the Downtown Mixed Use (DMU) Zone has been expanded to include properties on Santa Anita Avenue, Second Avenue, and La Porte Street.

citywide zoning update, the Downtown Arcadia BusinessFriendly Zoning Code was created with the goal of bringing more mixed-use development to the area and incentivizing adaptive reuse of existing buildings. The new code seeks to accomplish both these goals through a number of important changes, including updates to permit requirements, approved uses, parking, and much more. Of these changes, I think three items in particular are most

Boy Scouts of America Welcomes Girls in Historic Decision On Wednesday, the Boy Scouts of America Board of Directors unanimously approved to welcome girls into its iconic Cub Scout program and to deliver a Scouting program for older girls that will enable them to advance and earn the highest rank of Eagle Scout. The historic decision comes after years of receiving requests from families and girls, the organization evaluated the results of numerous research efforts, gaining input from current members and leaders, as well as parents and girls who’ve never been involved in Scouting – to understand how
to offer families an important additional choice in meeting the character development needs of all their children. “This decision is true to the BSA’s mission and core values outlined in the Scout Oath and Law. The values of Scouting – trustworthy, loyal, helpful, kind, brave and reverent, for example – are important for both young men and women,” said Michael Surbaugh, the BSA’s Chief Scout Executive. “We believe it is critical to evolve how our programs meet the needs of families interested in positive

To ensure safety during construction, Mayflower Avenue between Foothill Boulevard and Linwood Avenue will be closed during the work day (from around 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. every day) while a large section of sewer pipeline is replaced from the alley South of Linwood into the intersection at Foothill Boulevard. The current line was identified in the Sewer Master Plan as hydraulically insufficient to meet current demands as it is currently only 8-10 inches in diameter, but needs to be replaced with a pipe measuring 15 inches in diameter. The project will replace nearly 600 linear feet of sewer line with the larger pipeline. As the sewer line is directly in the middle of Mayflower Avenue, there is no way for crews to complete the work safely without
closing that section of street to traffic during the day while work is underway. Work will take place from approximately 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily. This work will begin after school starts Monday through Friday to ensure it does not impact morning school traffic, but afternoon school traffic could be impacted. The construction area will be backfilled each day so that cars will be able to move freely in the evening and overnight. According to the current work schedule, the city is anticipating the construction will be completed around the end of October 2017. Please note that residents will be able to access their street at all times. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact Public Works at (626) 932-5575.

As part of the campaign, Monrovia firefighters will be visiting all Monrovia Unified School
District 4th grade classrooms during the week to educate students about the importance of developing a family escape plan for their home, along with sharing safety tips about the issue. Open house with Monrovia Fire & Rescue features a fun obstacle course for kids. As a special activity, to conclude Fire Prevention Week, on Saturday, Oct. 14, 2017, the Monrovia

and lifelong experiences for their children. We strive to bring what our organization does best – developing character and leadership for young people – to as many families and youth as possible as we help shape the next generation of leaders.” “The BSA’s record of producing leaders with high character and integrity is amazing” said Randall Stephenson, BSA’s national board chairman. “I’ve seen nothing that develops leadership skills and discipline like this organization. It is time to make these outstanding leadership development programs available to girls.” Starting in the 2018 program year, families can choose to sign up their sons and daughters for Cub
Scouts. Existing packs may choose to establish a new girl pack, establish a pack that consists of girl dens and boy dens or remain an all-boy pack. Cub Scout dens will be single-gender — all boys or all girls. Using the same curriculum as the Boy Scouts program, the organization will also deliver a program for older girls, which will be announced in 2018 and projected to be available in 2019, that will enable them to earn the Eagle Scout rank. This unique approach allows the organization to maintain the integrity of the single gender model while also meeting the needs of today’s families. This decision expands the programs that the Boy Scouts of America offers for both boys and girls.

Although known for its iconic programs for boys, the BSA has offered co-ed programs since 1971 through Exploring and the Venturing
program, which celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2018. The STEM Scout pilot program is also available for both boys and girls.

‘The Madwoman of Chaillot’ at A Noise Within in Pasadena May s. ruiz MayChu@att.net
P
laying at A Noise Within (ANW) in Pasadena from September 17 to November 11, 2017 is Jean Giraudoux’s ‘The Madwoman of Chaillot’, translated by Maurice Valency, and directed by Stephanie Shroyer. A tale of men’s greed and the common people’s fight against it, ‘The Madwoman of Chaillot’ addresses ecological and environmental concerns – issues that affect us to this day. It is also quite significant that it has a woman as the instigator of the battle, a role usually reserved for men, when it was written at a time when having female leads in theatre was not as commonplace. Deborah Strang, resident artist at ANW, says, “Clearly Giraudoux loved women; he had a fondness for the female mind and ability. I am so excited and intrigued to be playing the ‘Madwoman of Chaillot’. He is an incredible French playwright and I have never done one before.” “Valency’s translation and adaptation recreates the spirit of the piece,” continues Strang. “It is almost Shakespearean in its rhythm and use of language, the repetition of sounds, vowels, and consonants. It’s very beautiful
just to speak it – it’s poetry, almost.” “It’s an extremely thrilling role for an actor – on every page of the script the madwoman is speaking nonstop. It’s an enormous challenge to carry almost all of the text in the play for two hours. It’s stimulating for my old brain to try to take it all in and comprehend,” Strang states selfdeprecatingly. “That it is being directed by Stephanie, whom I adore, makes it especially fun for me,” adds Strang. “The way Stephanie puts things together is quite magical. She is a choreographer so she approaches her plays from a dancer’s mind. It’s exhilarating for actors because it’s like learning to dance; in the movement we discover new ways to explore the text.” Strang co-stars with two other female resident artists whom she has known for a long time – Susan Angelo (Mme. Constance) and Jill Hill (Mme. Gabrielle) – and Veralyn
the help of her fellow outcasts: the ragpicker, the street singer, the sewer man, the flower girl, the sergeant, and various other oddballs and dreamers. She invites them all to a tea party, reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland’s, then sends the greedy businessmen into a bottomless pit that opens out of her cellar. “It’s a play that is extremely relevant in today’s world,” declares Strang. “When the audience hears certain lines like ‘What would you rather have in your backyard, an almond tree or an oil well?’ or ‘Why would you want a park for children?’, they all identify with the situation. This was true in Giraudoux’s time as it is now.” “Yet in the end, the audience will have a very good time – it’s wonderful entertainment. They’re going to laugh, maybe think a bit.” Then Strang adds wistfully, “Ideally it will change the world, we’ll be more generous and loving to one another.” Jones, who plays Mme. Josephine. “Susan, Jill, and I haven’t been in the same play for some time. So it’s wonderful to work with two of my favorite actresses,” Strang says further. “The fourth madwoman, Veralyn, is someone I’ve heard of but have never worked with before. And she’s fantastic! To have four strong women on stage at the same time playing against one
another is a rare treat.” Written in 1943, ‘The Madwoman of Chaillot’ follows three businessmen in Paris conspiring to destroy the city in order to unearth oil, which a prospector’s sense of smell located in the neighborhood. However, Countess Aurelia, ‘The Madwoman of Chaillot’, hears about their plot. She enlists

Brooks Berdan, Ltd. – By Audiophiles, For Audiophiles
BUSINESS
emily g. peters emilygpeters@gmail.com
There’s audio equipment—and then there’s Brooks Berdan. Founded by husbandand-wife team Sheila Berdan and the late Brooks Berdan, this impressive shop has been supplying audio junkies with their fix for nearly 30 years. Specializing in high end audio gear and installation, Brooks Berdan was highly respected in the audio industry throughout the course of his career. It’s a field he seemed destined from childhood. “My late husband had a passion for music since he was four years old, walking around with his transistor radio,” said Sheila Berdan. “He wanted to share what he had learned about obtaining excellent and accurate playback of musical performances. We decided to open our own retail store in order to offer the best high-end audio systems available and superior customer service.” Designed by audiophiles, for audiophiles, Brooks Berdan provides listeners with a premium try-before-you-buy experience in their 2,200-sq. ft. showroom. The space is divided into four listening spaces to allow visitors to test and enjoy the latest and greatest in sound technology. It’s an ideal match for those who take audio visual entertainment seriously for their home or studio.
“We offer in-home consultations and installations for 2-channel audio systems; whole home-distributed audio for both indoor and outdoor,” said Berdan. “We also specialize in home theater components, including projectors, screens, speakers, acoustic treatment, theater seating and furniture to host audio/video components.” Smaller gear gets a lot of love here, too. Brooks Berdan supplies all kinds of subtle gadgetry to boost the simpler sonic experience, like amplifiers so tiny they can be used with your smartphone. The shop is Valhalla for vinyhilists as well, with some of the finest domestic and international models available featured in-store—with repair and cleaning services to keep those records slick. Yet, perhaps the most impressive feature of Brooks Berdan’s services is its team of skilled technicians. “I currently am the President and General Manager, and Rick Vides is our store manager, overseeing the technical side of our showroom set-ups, customer home consultations, recommendations and expert turntable setup and calibration,” said Berdan. “Ken Davis is our valuable senior sales associate, very accomplished on system setup, home consultations, customer education, sales and more.” As the team approaches its 30th birthday this January, celebrations are in order. “On January 20, 2018, we’ll have a

Berdan’s way of saying thank you to the community. “Our target audience is those who love music,” she said. So audiophiles— this song’s for you.

WOMAN-OWNED PASADENA FIRM STILL SHINES AFTER 25 YEARS Today, Trailblazer Marie Campbell celebrates a quarter century providing environmental services in SoCal Sapphos Environmental, Inc. is celebrating 25 years in business in Pasadena. Sapphos Environmental, Inc. provides more than $6 million in environmental consulting services annually to a variety of public- and private-sector clients. Helmed by sole-owner Marie Campbell, Sapphos Environmental, Inc. has been creating jobs right here in Pasadena for a quarter of a century. “As a Los Angeles County native, it was important to me to establish my business in this area,” Marie Campbell stated. “I chose our location in Pasadena because of its proximity to the Metro Gold Line, downtown Los Angeles, a plethora of local shopping, as well as my home in Altadena.” After cutting her teeth at the US Army Corps
Engineers, Ms. Campbell moved quickly up the ladder in big consulting, but found projects lacking a holistic approach. Ms. Campbell founded Sapphos to provide high quality and pragmatic technical solutions with exceptional customer service. What started as one woman in a home office, with kids roller skating through her conference calls, has grown to a family of nearly 50 employees and over a thousand clients served.

The firm was awarded the 2012 Governor’s Environmental and Economic Leadership award and the 2012 California Air Resources Board’s Green Firm of the Year award for its initiatives in building material reuse and renewable energy generation. Sapphos Environmental, Inc.’s historic headquarters building, located in the Hastings Ranch area of Pasadena, had its outer shell maintained while the insides were modified to create a fully functional, flexible, modern office space that can grow with the company. The firm installed a 84 kW solar array on the building’s “cool roof” and over the pervious-surfaced parking lot. Over the course of the 18-year cost-recovery period, Sapphos Environmental, Inc. expects to prevent
over 760 metric tons of CO2 – equivalent to 85,500 gallons of gasoline – from reaching the atmosphere. Ms. Campbell is President of the National Association of Environmental Professionals (NAEP), a leading national professional organization. She often serves as an expert witness on cases related to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). When she’s not in the office, Ms. Campbell supports the Families Forward Learning Center, a non-profit organization providing free education and social services to low-income families. She also spends time with her two daughters, grandson, and new granddaughter, as well as gourmet cooking and cycling (to counteract the cooking).

Methodist Hospital Celebrates 60th Anniversary The year was 1957. Dwight Eisenhower was President. Elvis Presley was King. A gallon of gas was 35 cents. A typical suburban home was priced at $20,000. Freeways were just beginning to emerge in Los Angeles. And our now beloved Dodgers still resided in Brooklyn. Also in 1957, the San Gabriel Valley was preparing for the debut of what has become a true civic gem for the region with the grand opening of Methodist Hospital of Southern California in Arcadia. After spending the previous five decades caring for Angelenos living in the southern section of the City of Los Angeles, hospital leadership saw the need to relocate as residents throughout LA began moving to the suburbs. Hospital leaders created a unique partnership with the civic leaders in Arcadia who had the foresight to see the value of having a high quality community hospital available locally for citizens. Methodist Hospital opened in May 1957 with
a modest 138 beds. The hospital added a variety of new, high quality health services and new structures along the way and by 1967 had grown to a robust 345 beds to serve the community. Building on the foundation of its predecessors, new patient towers opened during the past two decades that can now house up to 348 patients in state-of-the-art hospital rooms. The hospital offers a variety of specialized treatments, and provides some of the most advanced health care services available. The hospital treats more than 16,000 inpatients and 25,000 outpatients annually in many medical disciplines including orthopedics, heart and stroke care, cancer care, obstetrics, wound care, acute rehabilitation and many more. The North Tower houses one of the most renowned features of Methodist Hospital: The ultramodern, full-service Hollfelder Emergency Care Center, which greatly improved the already impressive emergency care services. The emergency
department now treats more than 50,000 patients annually, offers advanced technology and is equipped for virtually any emergency situation. The hospital is designated by the L.A. County EMS as both a heart attack and stroke receiving center, and operates an Emergency Department Approved for Pediatrics (EDAP). Methodist Hospital’s broad cardiac and stroke care services include advanced cardiovascular and neuro-interventional care, cardiac catheterization, open heart surgery, neurosurgery, and clot removal for stroke. A recent crowning achievement earned the by collective efforts of the hospital physicians, nurses and staff occurred when Medicare recognized Methodist Hospital in July 2017 with its prestigious 5-Star Award for providing high quality, safe care to patients. No other hospital in Los Angeles County earned this recognition, which places Methodist Hospital among the Top 2% of all hospitals in the nation.

nity sites for transit-oriented development similar in size and scope to the mixeduse project currently under construction at the corner of First Ave and Wheeler. Second, to promote a more vibrant nightlife and restaurant scene in Downtown Arcadia, the new code has eliminated the standard Conditional Use Permit requirement for all new restaurants and gastropubs. Within the DMU zone, these uses are now allowed by-right with just a simple business license application. Outside of the DMU zone, restaurants and gastropubs are now approved at staff level through a Minor Use Permit. Both processes are significantly less time consuming than the previous CUP requirement, thus encouraging new restaurants and gastropubs to locate in the area. Third, a Downtown Parking Overlay has been added to the historic central core of Downtown Arcadia. The overlay eliminates parking as an impediment to adaptive reuse by allowing the ground floor of existing buildings to be converted to more parking intensive uses without having to provide additional parking or apply for a parking waiver.
For example, an existing ground floor office unit or warehouse building can now be converted to retail, restaurant, or a gastropub by-right without having to worry about the amount of on-site parking. The logic behind the overlay is to leverage the city’s downtown public parking lots, street parking, Metro station, and the growth of rideshare in lieu of requiring each property to provide their own dedicated parking. This is similar to how Old Pasadena, Old Town Monrovia, and other historic commercial districts operate, and has been a successful model for revitalizing these areas. In conclusion, I’m happy to report that since the new Business-Friendly Zoning Code
was adopted last November, the city has seen a noticeable increase in interest for both mixed-use development and adaptive reuse in Downtown Arcadia. Working in combination with the Arcadia Metro Gold Line Station and the work being done by the Downtown Arcadia Improvement Association, the new code will support the ongoing revitalization of the area in the coming years. (For more information on the Downtown Arcadia zoning or other economic development inquiries, Tim Schwehr can be reached at (626) 574-5409 or TSchwehr@ ArcadiaCa.gov or on Downtown Arcadia Improvement Association visit www. downtownarcadia.org)

Mayor Amundson Joins Groundbreaking Coalition to Launch 10-Minute Walk Campaign At 10:10 a.m. on October 10, City of Arcadia Mayor Amundson joined The Trust for Public Land, National Recreation and Park Association, and Urban Land Institute in launching an historic “10-minute walk” parks advocacy campaign, establishing the ambitious goal that all Americans, and all residents of the City of Arcadia should live within a 10-minute walk (or half-mile) of a highquality park or green space. This bipartisan group includes mayors from all across the country and represents cities large and small, including America’s four largest cities (New York,
Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston) and diverse communities across the country. The U.S. Conference of Mayors, which represents more than 1,000 U.S. mayors, also unanimously passed a resolution at the 85th Annual Meeting urging all mayors to actively pursue the 10-minute walk to a park goal. “Park access is important to all of our cities. I am proud to join this incredible group of mayors,” said City of Arcadia Mayor Amundson. Studies show that high-quality parks provide a wide range of benefits to urban residents and cities themselves.

Monrovia Unified Dual Immersion School Holds Moon and Stars Night, Celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival Plymouth Elementary families gazed at a rising, red moon through telescopes, made glowing multi-colored paper lanterns and tasted sweet Chinese moon cakes during the school’s first Moon and Stars Night, celebrating the mid-autumn, or moon, festival on Oct. 6. Jessica Vazquez, a second-grader who has been a part of the school’s Mandarin dual-immersion program for three years, joined her class in re-enacting a Chinese legend about the moon. “I like typing Mandarin and learning the dialogue,” Jessica, 7, said. “I want to learn more Mandarin and get smarter.” Students conducted moon crater experiments and learned about constellations at booths. Families also observed the night sky through four high-powered telescopes provided by the Old Town Sidewalk Astronomers. Plymouth offers a Mandarin dualimmersion program for students in kindergarten through second grade, providing an interactive academic environment for students to learn Mandarin along with the California Standards. The program aims to have students become bilingual and biliterate in Mandarin while understanding and appreciating Chinese culture. “Our students are able to explore another culture while learning in an enhanced academic and linguistic environment,”
Monrovia Unified President Bryan Wong said. “Acquiring a second language is an important investment in our students’ futures and our parents are strong partners in helping our students achieve their goals.” Jessica’s parents also teach her Spanish at home, hoping that she will become trilingual. “It would be beneficial to her future, regardless of whichever career she goes in,” said Elizabeth Vazquez, Jessica’s mom. “There are a lot of resources that the school provides to help us understand and help our children, so it’s a really great program.” Jessica’s mom and sister participate in family Chinese classes twice a month, learning Chinese and class content to strengthen Jessica’s understanding at home. “Monrovia Unified prepares our students to become global citizens in a multilingual and multicultural world,” Superintendent Dr. Katherine Thorossian said. “Our Dual Immersion programs ensures that each student will develop the linguistic, cognitive and social skills needed to communicate with the world at large.”

Pasadena Unified Launces TK-1st Grade Theater and Dance Program Starting this fall, Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) is offering theater and dance lessons for more than 2,900 students in transitional kindergarten and kindergarten. The Theater Arts/Dance & Community program was developed by PUSD art education and early childhood education staff in partnership with the Music Center and independent teaching artists. The program is supported by the Los Angeles County Arts Commission, in-kind services from the Music Center, and an individual donor through Pasadena Educational Foundation (PEF). “This inventive and developmentally appropriate program builds self-expression and learning skills of our youngest students and prepares them to be the artists, writers, and citizens of tomorrow,” said Superintendent Brian McDonald. “PUSD’s arts education is thriving, thanks to the innovative long-term partnerships we have cultivated with topnotch arts organizations in Southern California.”
Young students will learn to use voice and sound to engage in dramatic play, and build collaboration and social-emotional skills while expressing ideas and feelings through movement. Each student will participate in the program from two options: Theater Explorations or Dance & Community. In the Dance & Community residency, professional dancers and choreographers will introduce students to the traditional folk dances from various regions of the world, and focus on the ways that movement can communicate ideas. Through demonstrations, observations, discussion, and dance activities, young students will learn dance skills and related terminology. “The Music Center is proud to continue its partnership with the Pasadena Unified School District and help expand the district’s programs for its youngest learners,” said Keith Wyffels, Associate Vice President of Education at the Music Center. “The program will give children the opportunity to engage their

very time January comes around, people run into the gym and jump on diet programs with the goal of achieving their New Year’s resolution. Some believe that by jumping on this bandwagon, they’ll end up healthier, happier, and maybe with toned abs and arms for when summer rolls around. Unfortunately, by the second week of February, 80% of those New Year’s resolutions are abandoned. The truth is, when choosing your diet, you’re already setting yourself up for failure. Most diets will fail because they’re over as soon as the goal has been achieved. People get on their calorie restricted diets that might have them starving all the time or eating strange concoctions; but unfortunately, as soon as they hit their weight goals, they return back to their old habits and all of a sudden, the weight loads right back on. The reason why this
OCTOBER 12, 2017 - OCTOBER 18, 2017
Why Your Diet Will Fail happens is people often focus too much on results and not enough on the actual process. Your co-worker or neighbor don’t look swimsuit ready all year round from winning the genetic lottery; they achieve it by maintaining a highly active lifestyle and good dietary behaviors that works for them. So instead of focusing so hard on the end goal, take a step back and figure out what it really takes for people to maintain a fit and healthy lifestyle all year round. How can you set yourself up for success? When someone comes up to me looking to improve his or her diet, I first take a look at a few aspects that will determine how the diet will work: personal schedule, activity levels, preferred foods, and long term goals. All these things play a big role in determining meal frequency, composition, and volume. The biggest rule is: if it doesn’t work for you, try something different. If you aren’t able to make your diet fit your personal needs, then it’s almost guaranteed that you
won’t be able to maintain it for the long haul, and believe me, a healthy diet doesn’t mean plain boring food for the rest of your life. If you’re setting out on making any sort of dietary change, I always recommend people to start one meal at a time. This helps you avoid being overwhelmed by a huge shift all at once, plus it gives you an opportunity to figure out what works and what doesn’t. Given the diversity of any given population, it’s hard to give very general recommendations in this case that can apply to everyone. If you’re serious about taking a leap into improving your eating habits, check out the government website ChooseMyPlate.gov to find a bunch of resources that can help you jumpstart your healthy lifestyle. On a final note, I can’t emphasize how important it is to keep testing to figure out what works best for you. Treat your body right to enjoy the foods you love without having to worry about health risks. - Courtesy photo

Your words are an incredibly powerful business tool that you use each and every day. This is especially true during your job search. Not surprisingly, the punctuation around those words can be just as important as the words themselves. You may have heard me preach before about the space that appears after a period at the end of a sentence. Did you know that it's now unacceptable to include two spaces after a period? The new standard is one space after the period. If you're like me, your teachers engrained double spacing in you as if your entire future depended on it. You can’t imagine a world with one space after a period. To make matters worse, when the standard changed to one space, no memo was sent around. Unfortunately, those who were taught to use one space judge the double spacers. It's assumed that a lack of intelligence must be to blame. This feeling is confirmed in an article I recently read titled, “For the Love of God, Stop Putting Two Spaces After a Period.” Now, that’s passion. Don’t you think? I learned this single spacing lesson the hard way, from the kind editors who review my column each week. The editor of my book had also shared the feedback with me, but I was so certain about the double space that I ignored this advice until I heard it multiple times. It still surprises me how much these small details influence the reader’s interpretation of the overall message. On top of spaces, there are other punctuation marks that should be used carefully. The most important is the exclamation point! If
you use an exclamation point at all in business emails, try to keep them to a maximum of one to two per email. It's possible to show excitement through your writing without an overuse of this mark. Using too many will make you appear overly eager, immature, or as if you’re yelling. Keep smiley faces and other emoji-like characters out of work emails completely if possible. These are best used between friends. Using them at work can make you appear unprofessional at best. So, which punctuation marks should you use? The most used punctuation mark is the period. Other marks that can be mixed in are the question mark, the comma, the colon, and the semicolon. These marks will help you to express your thoughts in an even, business-like way. Writing an effective business email is truly an art. It takes time and practice to come across clearly and concisely on a computer screen. Using punctuation to your advantage is the very first step to getting there. In fact, the better your communication is at work, the more likely you are to move your ideas forward. And, the more you’re able to champion your own ideas, the more you’ll find that the doors to your career open. Although punctuation can seem like a silly detail, it’s something that’s relatively easy to improve and that will leave a lasting impact.

Letters to the Editor: Re: “Pasadena Ph.D. Candidate Files Suit Against Trump Regarding DACA” (Sept. 21 issue) Amnesty International, of which I am a member, sent me a bumper sticker which now graces my car. It reads: "Human rights have no borders." Our president was born into privilege. He has never suffered deprivation, and his lack of compassion for anyone other than AngloAmericans is amply proven. How absurd, therefore, that in one of his frequent delusional rantings he compared himself to Abraham Lincoln! Every common pedestrian knows that besides Lincoln's high Intelligent Quotient, his even higher Emotional Quotient is what made him a great man. Yes,
Lincoln's empathy for those who suffer has never been bested by any of our presidents. Oh, how I wish Trump were indeed like Lincoln! Then those "dreamers" would have a friend in our president. - David Quintero Monrovia
Letters to the Editor: Re: “Deer Slaughtered by Bow Hunter in Monrovia Neighborhood” (Sept. 21 Issue) Dear Editor: Here we go again with the story about the deer poacher on Gold Hills. For what it is worth, I have been hiking the forest and the foothills for at least 60 years. During this time I have seen many bow hunters. The sad
thing is that none of them were hunting legally. They were hunting within City limits, or were on trails or roads. The fact is, if they were hunting legally within the Angeles National Forest they would not be successful. The deer in the forest are fewer and much more timid. I am not saying that there aren’t legal bow hunters, I have never seen one. The story is always, “ I shot the deer in the forest and it ran into the neighborhood.” Yeah, sure. In this case the hunter was at least a mile from the forest and was unlucky enough to be caught on video. I sincerely hope they throw the book at this jerk. Unfortunately, the Fish and Game are too busy answering calls to have time to patrol. The best way to prevent this is for the public to report suspicious activity in the foothills. - Glen Owens Monrovia

How Millennials Embrace and Reinvent Online Shopping cost of putting on shoes and a socially acceptable outfit against delivery fees, sometimes it is more than worth it. To take it one step further, buying clothes online can be a hassle because it is nearly impossible to know what fits. Millennials have solved some of the problems they face while online shopping. Millennial Katrina Lake created StitchFix to solve the problem of buying clothes online. Instead, the site sends a trunk of clothes to be tried on customers just send back whatever they don’t want. Without the inventions and purchasing power of Millennials, companies and apps that deliver convenience could become extinct. Although generations before may think Millennials are lazy, they too have benefitted from the utilization of convenience held up by a generation that grew up with their fingers glued to a keyboard.

illennials love buying things but hate actually leaving their apartments to do so. As a generation nurtured by infinite access to the internet, physically participating in America’s favorite past time, consumption, is too mundane to bear. Instead, we click our way to stocking our closets and our pantries. Millennials spend more money each year shopping online than any other age demographic. The average amount spent by any given Millennial is $2,000. It’s skewed to view MIllennials as purely lazy because they like buying things online, in some cases it is actually cheaper, not just convenient. When done properly, using credit cards from the company/ store, online codes, free shipping offers and “deals of the day” can rack up huge savings. The most obvious site Millennials tend to throw all of their money at is Amazon. The robot driven company has become the most relevant brand to Millennials according to a survey done by Prophet in 2016. For Millennials who are still students, online shopping is a source to buy books from other students for far cheaper than market value. But books aren’t the only reason why Millennials are all over the site. Student discounted Prime memberships gives them free shipping, which adds up quickly when purchasing online. It isn’t just the tangible items Millennials want though. Thanks to streaming sources from Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Millennials have stamped rental movie stores like Blockbuster into ancient history in exchange for monthly fees and nearly unlimited access to their favorite shows and movies. Even when it comes to grocery shopping, Millennials are willing to fork up the extra cash to not only avoid a trip to the store, but have somebody come into their home and stock

up their fridge. In a recent report, purchasing groceries online is 24.6 percent higher, plus tacked on delivery charges. For those who live in big cities and don’t have easy access or use public transportation the convenience is worth it and could lead to costing less when buying in high volume. With new lock technology, the shopper just leaves a one-time passcode set from their phone and the freelance driver drops off their groceries and even puts them away in the fridge. Millennials live fast-paced lives, even if it isn’t cheaper, the convenience is worth it. Apps like UberEats and Postmates have not only provided jobs for young Millennials to scrape together extra cash, but to feed their gluttonous desires. Using these types of apps makes any restaurant as accessible as a pizza place that delivers. When weighing the

Brown Signs Legislation to Increase Transparency in Prescription Drug Pricing
New legislation requires advanced notification of drug price hikes in California Working to increase transparency in prescription drug pricing, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. today signed legislation – SB 17, authored by Senator Ed Hernandez (D-West Covina) – requiring pharmaceutical companies to give notice before hiking prices. “Californians have a right to know why their medication costs are out of control, especially when pharmaceutical profits are soaring,” said Governor Brown. SB 17 requires drug manufacturers to provide a 60-day notice if prices are raised more than 16 percent in a two-year period. The bill applies to drugs that have a wholesale price of more than $40 for a 30-day supply. SB 17 also requires health plans and insurers to file annual reports outlining how drug costs impact health care premiums in California. “Drug companies abuse their market power by jacking up prices, and the public is looking to their government for help,” said Senator Hernandez. “Requiring drug companies to provide advance notice and some explanation for large price hikes is a step toward a more stable and predictable prescription drug marketplace. Sometimes even a modest change brings about big results. Transparency will make drug companies pause and consider whether drastic price increases are appropriate. I want to thank Governor Brown for signing this bill.” “Senator Hernandez has been a tenacious author who understands that escalating drug costs are an immediate crisis that needed solutions this year, regardless of other health care challenges we face,” said Assemblymember Jim Wood (D- Healdsburg), a principal co-author of SB 17. “Once we knew that for the first time, as a percentage of health care premiums, drug costs exceed what we pay for doctors, something had to be done. I was honored to play a role in this bill’s passage and am inspired to continue the fight on behalf of patients.” For full text of the bill, visit: http://leginfo.legislature. ca.gov.

Starting a new business? Go to filedba.com Monrovia City Notices ORDINANCE NO. 2017-07 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONROVIA, CALIFORNIA, REPEALING CHAPTER 9.66 OF TITLE 9 OF THE MONROVIA MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO SEX OFFENDER RESIDENCY RESTRICTIONS RECITALS WHEREAS, on November 7, 2006, the voters of the State of California overwhelmingly approved Proposition 83, the “Sexual Predator Punishment and Control Act” commonly known as “Jessica’s Law,” with the intent of better protecting Californians, and, in particular, the State’s children from sex offenders; and WHEREAS, Proposition 83 also includes a provision which expressly authorizes further local regulation of sex offender residency. Penal Code Section 3003.5(c) states that municipal jurisdictions are not prohibited from enacting local ordinances that further restrict the residency of any person for whom registration is required pursuant to Section 290; and WHEREAS, following the adoption of Jessica’s Law, the City of Monrovia, like many other cities in California, adopted new residency and location restrictions applicable to registered sex offenders. Chapter 9.66 of Title 9 of the Monrovia Municipal Code currently prohibits any registered sex offender from establishing a residence within 2,000 feet of a school or public park. The Chapter also prohibits, with certain exceptions, sex offenders from residing with any other sex offender; and WHEREAS, studies and reports released after the passage of Jessica’s Law suggest that blanket enforcement of residency restrictions has not improved public safety. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) reports that evidence suggests residency restrictions have the unintended consequences of increasing homelessness among registered sex offenders, thereby actually threatening public safety. Convicted sex offenders who are homeless are reportedly not only more difficult to supervise than those who have established residences; but are also more likely to re-offend. Additionally, two court decisions, one from the California Supreme Court (In re Taylor (2015) 60 Cal.4th 1019) and one from the Court of Appeal (People v. Lynch (2016) 2 Cal.App.5th 524) have called into question the constitutionality of certain residency restrictions similar to Chapter 9.24, but enforced by the State. This creates significant doubt about the remaining authority of cities to regulate the residency of sex offenders under Penal Code section 3003.5; and WHEREAS, the Sex Offender Supervision and GPS Monitoring Task Force is a multi-agency Task Force created to assist CDCR to develop a comprehensive approach to sex offender supervision. In October 2010, the Task Force released a report based on a review of reports generated by the Office of Inspector General and the California Sex Offender Management Board, best practices throughout the nation, effective use of GPS, as well as relevant CDCR sex offender supervision policies and practices. The Task Force found that blanket residence restrictions have “not improved public safety and have compromised the effective monitoring and supervision of sex offender parolees.” Specifically, the Task Force stated: “There is no evidence that residence restrictions for sex offenders make the community any safer. Since the passage of Proposition 83, residence restrictions have expanded significantly with an unintended consequence. Transient sex offender parolees have increased by approximately 24 times. Presently, more than 1/3 of all sex offenders on parole have become transient. Before the passage of Proposition 83, residence restrictions were already in place. Penal Code Section 3003(g) prohibited high risk sex offenders with child victims from residing within 1.2 mile from schools. Additionally, Parole Agents used discretion to prevent parolees from residing in any housing location that would increase their risk of re-offense. Repealing the blanket residence restrictions imposed by Proposition 83 will provide adequate housing options for sex offenders while continuing to provide public safety”; and WHEREAS, after careful consideration of the growing evidence from experts in the field, including those experts within California state government, suggesting that policies that further restrict sex offender residency could threaten public safety in our community, as well as the recent court decisions that bring into question the City’s authority to enforce blanket residency restrictions, the City Council has decided to repeal its sex offender residency restrictions and rely on enforcement of other State laws to protect the public. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONROVIA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Chapter 9.66 of Title 9 of the Monrovia Municipal Code is hereby repealed. Section 2. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and cause the same to be published as required by law. INTRODUCED this 19th day of September, 2017. PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this 3rd day of October, 2017. AYES: Councilmember Crudgington, Shevlin, Spicer, Mayor Pro Tem Blackburn and Mayor Adams. NOES: None. /s/ Alice D.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 220 SOUTH 5TH AVENUE, MONROVIA, CA 91016 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 without covenant or warranty, express 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. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $875,992.46 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. 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 ap-
plicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address www.Auction.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000933-141. 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.

Former Pasadena Athletes in Professional Sports Spencer Stueve, sports@beaconmedianews.com
The fall season is a sports lover’s paradise. The MLB playoffs are underway; the NFL season is nearly onethird of the way complete; college football conference play has begun; and the NBA and NHL seasons are just getting started. For every athlete, there is a story where they represented their teams before entering the professional league. The city of Pasadena has had a long, rich athletic history. No player has done more for sports or represented Pasadena better than Jackie Robinson. Robinson was a star athlete at John Muir High School in the mid-1930s before enrolling at Pasadena Junior College. He then transferred to UCLA where he became the first Bruin four-sport letterman. Robinson later made his professional debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, breaking the MLB color barrier in the process, and finishing his athletic career in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Although today’s athletes may not have an impact on American sports like Robinson did, there are several former Pasadena stars who are making an impact in their own way. Dylan Covey, graduate of Maranatha High School, has had an eventful journey. Covey was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the first round in 2010, but failed to sign. He enrolled at the University of San Diego and was then drafted in the fourth round by the Oakland Athletics in 2013. In December 2016, Covey was selected by the White
Arcadia Apaches Falter Late in Loss to Burbank Bulldogs Spencer Stueve, sports@beaconmedianews.com
The game certainly wasn’t pretty, and it wasn’t for those who don’t like classic, physical football. When the Arcadia Apaches met the Burbank Bulldogs last week, there were obvious playoff implications. Each team entered with a 2-0 record in Pacific League play; while Burbank supported a 3-2 overall record and Arcadia at 2-3.

Coming in with a 0-5 record, it’s normal for fans, players, and coaches to become doubtful and question the team. When will Monrovia win? How long will the wait be? Last week, all questions about the losing streak were put to rest. South Pasadena High School, coached by Jeff Chi, entered last week’s game against Monrovia with a solid 4-2 record
over Duarte, Riverside Prep, and Alhambra. Despite Monrovia’s slow start to the season, there was reason for optimism coming in to the game. With league play just beginning, every team always has hopes of finding their stride and winning at the right time. When the clock marked zero, the scoreboard read Monrovia 49 South Pasadena 10 ending their losing streak. Monrovia hits the road this week to take on La Canada High School in their annual Homecoming game.
