BUSINESS WATCH
Business owners are
invited to joining the
Police Department for a
Business Watch Meeting.
Tuesday’s City Council meeting was a night of ‘firsts’.
It was the first time the city bid farewell to three
council members at one time. It was the first time
the city installed three new council members at one
time. (Usually there is at least one incumbent). It was
also the first time that the city has had an Armenian
Mayor (John Harabedian) and the first time the city
has had an Asian American council person (Rachelle
Arizmendi).
It was also the first time in a very long time that
the transition was done in a very dignified manner
without any animosity or personal attacks from the
audience..
The evening began with solemn reminders of the
Armenian Genocide and the activities that were
scheduled for the rest of the week.
Shortly thereafter, outgoing Mayor Nancy Walsh
presented Councilman Koerber and Former Mayor
Josh Moran with the traditional Sierra Madre Tile and
a placque which memorialized the many things each
had accomplished during their time on the council.
Mayor Walsh was also presented with a tile and
placque. The trio was also recognized individually
by Supervisor Michael Antonovich, Congresswoman
Judy Chu, Assemblyman Chris Holden and the Sierra
Madre Chamber of Commerce.
Wednesday April 30th
at 7:30 AM in the City
Council Chambers.
Following the farewell presentations, newly elected
council members Gene Goss, Rachelle Arizmendi and
Denise Delmar were sworn in by City Clerk Nancy
Shollenberger.
John Harabedian was then selected as the Mayor by the
newly seated council and John Capoccia was chosen as
the Mayor Pro-Tem.
The new council will hold its first full meeting on May
13th, and will be have on the agenda, among other
things, the Mid-year budget review.

WALKING SIERRA MADRE……THE SOCIAL SIDE
By Deanne Davis
“A daughter is a day brightener and a heart warmer.”
“A Father is his son’s first hero and his daughter’s first love.”
Anonymous
A couple of pictures arrived on my phone the other day from our
daughter, Crissy, in Texas. As always, they gripped my heart
and made me smile. My son-in-law, Christopher, is holding
the hands of his two little girls; Emily who is three and Jessie,
who is six and doing splendidly in Kindergarten. Emily looks
like she’s about to giggle, and Jessie is looking up adoringly,
dressed to the teeth in black velvet, hair-bows and a beatific
smile.
I asked their mommy what was happening and she said
that Chris and Jessie were off to the Daddy-Daughter Dance
at school. I immediately thought back a number of years to
when their mommy, our daughter, dressed to the teeth with an
equally beatific smile, was off to the Father-Daughter Dinner
Dance at Alverno High School, just down the road from us. In
those days, Crissy was driving a Dodge Dart which, I think,
was older than she was, but was made, apparently, of solid steel
as she drove it into all sorts of things but the Dart always came
out the winner. Being a teen-ager’s first car is fraught with
peril for the car. Our son was driving my Oldsmobile station
wagon, delivering pizza, when the rear axle broke. Something
I never knew could happen. But I digress! No, the Dodge Dart
did not take them to the dance!
The relationship between fathers and daughters is a beautiful
thing. Mothers and daughters, especially in those teen years,
not so much. We’re the ones who are always having to say,
“clean your room,” and “why isn’t your homework done,” and
“I’ve asked you 35 times to finish the dishes,” well, all you
moms out there, you remember. On the other hand, I have
the distinction of being the only mother I’ve ever heard of who
told a 13-year old seventh grader to “Go put some blush on,
for pity’s sake!”
We have three daughters, all of whom are grown with children
of their own and one of our greatest pleasures is hearing them
say and watching them do all the things they said they’d never
say or do because we, terrible parents that we were, did and
said them. Yes indeed, the Parent’s Curse – May you have
children just like you – still works!
Classic mother-daughter conversations:
“Are you up?” this to a daughter who was still nowhere near
up, she knew it, I knew it, but the rhetorical question is the
parent’s friend. Her answer, “Almost!”
“Do you know what time it is!!” Of course she knew what
time it was. It was about 2:30 a.m. and, while the father slept
peacefully, the mother stood by the window waiting for a car to
drive down the driveway, alternating between terror and rage.
Her answer, “Well, yeah, but I knew you wouldn’t mind. I
knew I was OK.” The mother, “You couldn’t call!!” Her answer,
“No, I didn’t want to wake up Dad!”
Emily, Christopher, Jessie Brown
Another mother, a dear friend of mine, reported this
conversation, “Mom, I think you should know… I don’t believe
in God.” My friend’s answer, “That’s OK, honey, God believes
in you.”
I’m not exactly sure what Christopher and Jessie talked
about at the Daddy-Daughter Dance, but he went and she
was thrilled. He went to the one they had for pre-school, too.
Crissy’s Dad went to the Father-Daughter Dance, he also went
to move her back home when things went wrong for her. The
Fathers, most of them, are amazing guys who will go to a dance
with a six year old, attend every game they play in, ballet recital
they dance in, pick them up in the middle of the night when
their cars fail, or drive to Buttonwillow to bring them home
when they run out of gas and money.
I realize it’s nowhere near Father’s Day, but the DaddyDaughter Dance and the look on Jessie’s face when she and her
Daddy stood still so her mommy could take their picture has
made me want to celebrate Dads. So! If you haven’t talked to
yours lately, pick up the phone!
“The heart of a father is the masterpiece of nature.”
Antoine Francois Prevost – Manon Lescaut
“I believe that what we become depends on what our
fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren’t trying
to teach us. We are formed by little scraps of wisdom.”

Council
Oks Jay Z,
Beyoncé
Concert
By Dean Lee
The City council cleared
the way, during a special
Tuesday afternoon meeting,
for singers Jay Z and
Beyoncé to hold an August
concert at the Rose Bowl.
This makes the 18th major
event scheduled for the
stadium this year.
The Jay Z show, Aug. 2, will
also come just days before
another concert featuring
Rihanna and Eminem.
The Monster Tour with
Rihanna and Eminem is
scheduled, for two shows,
Aug. 7 and Aug. 8. The
Rose Bowl is also set to host
a three night concert with
performers One Direction
Sept. 11, 12 and 13.
Rose Bowl General
Manager Darryl Dunn said
the six concerts, is the most
they have ever had in a
single year.
He said each of the concerts
could bring as much as
$400,000 to the city.
Dunn also said the
concerts are a way of raising
money that could take the
controversial plan to bring
a temporary NFL team off
the table.
Officials said the concerts
are a way to generate money
spent on the recent $155
million renovations to the
stadium.
Both councilmembers
Terry Tornek and Jacque
Robinson said they thought
this was a great opportunity
for Pasadena. In a letter to
Mayor Bill Bogaard and the
council, the Linda VistaAnnandale Neighborhood
Association,
voiced
concerns over impacts
such as air quality, noise,
recreation and traffic.
The date Aug. 2 date for
the Jay Z show has not been
officially announced by the
promoter Live Nation.

say one of the trucks blew a tire
traveling on the eastbound side
of the 210 freeway, near Allen
Ave., causing it to hit another
truck. A box truck overturned,
blocking several lanes. The
driver was transported to a
nearby hospital with moderate
injuries. The second driver

JPL Cargo
Launched to
Space Station
When the SpaceX-3 cargo
resupply mission launched
to the International Space
Station last week, an
experiment designed by
NASA’s Jet Propulsion
Laboratory in Pasadena,
Calif., was among the cargo
headed to space.
The experiment, Optical
PAyload for Lasercomm
Science (OPALS), will test
the potential for using a
laser to transmit data to
Earth from space. Instead
of being broadcast on radio
waves, data is packaged onto
beams of laser light and
pointed to a receiver station
on the ground. Radio wave
transmissions are limited
by the speed they can
transfer data, but beaming
information packages with
lasers can greatly increase
the amount of information
transmitted over the same
period of time.
SpaceX-3 is NASA’s
third contracted resupply
mission to the space station
by U.S. company SpaceX of
Hawthorne, Calif. SpaceX’s
Dragon spacecraft launched
atop the company’s Falcon
rocket from the Cape
Canaveral Air Force Station
in Florida at 3:25 p.m. EDT
April 18.
SpaceX developed its
Dragon capsule, the only
cargo spacecraft currently
servicing the space station
with the capability to return
cargo back to Earth, with
NASA and now successfully
has
completed
three
missions to the orbiting
outpost.
The space station
remains the springboard
to NASA’s next great leap
in exploration, including
future missions to an
asteroid and Mars.

lost due to the atrocities of
tyrant regimes and a call for
recognition of such terrible
sufferings of Armenians and all
other nations who have suffered
similar acts.”
The event featured speeches,
music and tributes centered
around the message “never
forget.” A number of attendees
wore black t-shirts with the
massage on them.
The master of ceremonies was
Levon Keshishian. The keynote
speakers were Dr. Hampig
Sarafian, in English, and Very
Rev. Fr. Andon Atamian,
in Armenian. The Marshall
Fundamental School Orchestra
provided the music.
The program started with

MONITORING STATION TO MEASURE PM10 FROM
VULCAN MINING ACTIVITY UP AND RUNNING
Public Can Now View Real-Time Data of Air Quality on
AccessDuarte.com Webpage
An air quality monitoring station installed
adjacent to Valley View School to keep tabs on any
unhealthful PM10 particulate matter emanating
from Vulcan Materials mining activity above
Duarte is up and running. So is a dedicated web
page on the City’s website where Duarte residents
can monitor the quality of air they are breathing
via real time data of hourly and 24-hour averages
of PM10. Data from the monitoring station
streams live to the SCAQMD where it is analyzed
for quality control, then sent to the City of Duarte
and made available for the public on the City’s
www.accessduarte.com website.
Michael Cacciotti, the South Coast Air
Quality Management District Board member
representing Duarte and Jason Low, Atmospheric
Measurements Manager for the SCQAMD joined
Duarte Mayor Liz Reilly and City Manager Darrell
George at Valley View School to provide residents
and other interested parties with an overview of
the monitoring station and its operation, and to
tour the monitoring station area located on land
above the school.
“We are the only city to have an air quality
monitoring station and the only city with the
ability to provide our residents with real time
data on an hourly basis,” said George. He credited
the collaboration of all who worked together
for the good of the community, including the
school district, AQMD, and the Community
Development Department.
Low urged residents to remain engaged
and proactive in reporting excessive dust coming
from the mining area. “If high winds are blowing
Vulcan should not be active,” Low said. Residents
should record the activity with a photo, or
preferably a video, then call the AQMD at 1-800788-7664 with a complaint. Based on a minimum
number of complaints, as few as six, compliance
officers who are on duty 24 hours a day, will be
dispatched to inspect the reported violation.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) began installation of
the monitoring station in October 2013 at the request of the City of Duarte following court decisions that cleared the way for Vulcan to expand its
mining operations to Van Tassel Ridge above Duarte homes and schools. Vulcan intends to extract
105.6 million tons of aggregate from the mountain
over the next 24 years.
The addition of a full meteorological tower
to accurately measure wind conditions installed in
April made the monitoring station fully functional
providing continuous monitoring and real time
reporting including hourly averages of PM10
levels.
PM10 is particulate matter that is everything less than 10 micrometers in size (25 to 100
times thinner than a human hair), the byproduct
of crushing and grinding rocks and soil. PM10 are
blown by the wind and can stay in the air for minutes or hours and travel as little as 100 yards or
up to 30 miles. Inhalation of PM10 particles can
pose a danger to respiratory health because they
can lodge deep in the lungs.
Low noted that data gathered from the
Duarte monitoring station from January to March
2014 measured the 24-hour average of PM10
levels to below California and federal standards.
PM10 levels are measured in micrograms per
cubic meter. The state considers PM 10 levels up
to 50 micrograms per cubic meter, good. Under
federal standards, which governs, the threshold is
150 micrograms per cubic meter.
SCAQMD estimates the cost for the first
year of monitoring at the site to be approximately $50,000. Specifically, costs include: $6,500 site
preparation, $36,500 for equipment and $7,000 for
operation and maintenance. The SCAQMD has
committed to installing and operating the system
at its own expense for the first twelve months of
operation. The City will then take over the costs
of the station’s maintenance and operation while
transitioning the task to an SCAQMD approved
technical consultant.
SCAQMD is also negotiating with the City
of Azusa to set up another monitoring station location in that city to further improve the ability to
monitor PM10 dust emanating from Vulcan mining activity
Duarte fought a long and costly battle to
stop the City of Azusa from allowing Vulcan to
move mining operations from a previously approved 80 acres on the east side of its 270 acre
property to 80 acres on the west side, above Duarte
homes. In February 2013, the State Court of Appeals upheld a Superior Court ruling of May 2012
against Duarte’s lawsuit that challenged the validity of the Environmental Impact Report.

“The music program at St. Luke’s is decidedly ambitious for a parish of its size,” says Kent B. Jones,
the church’s Director of Music. “We have been blessed with an excellent pipe organ, a massive music
library, a choir of fine musicians with genuine camaraderie, and world-class acoustics. We also have
a congregation that appreciates the choir’s work and has a taste for excellence in music." Mr. Jones,
the church’s choir director and organist, has BSEd, BMEd, and MEd degrees from the University of
Delaware. He has composed many descants and Anglican chants for the choir as well as anthems and
much of the choir’s Evensong music.
Those who are unable to attend but would like to support the music program may mail donations
to the St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 122 South California Avenue, Monrovia CA 91016, with “Music
Fundraiser” noted on the check. For more information, email [email protected].
About St. Luke’s
With roots in Monrovia dating to the 1890s, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church is an inclusive church that welcomes all to its community — a safe place for skeptics and doubters as well as firm believers. Communion
is offered freely as “strength for the journey” to anyone who comes with a sincere heart to receive it. The
landmark 1924 Romanesque church is located at California Avenue and Foothill Boulevard in Monrovia. Eucharist services are held on Sundays at 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. and on Wednesdays at 12:10 p.m. The

EDUCATION & YOUTH
A DICTIONARY FOR EVERY THIRD GRADER
The Rotary Club of Sierra Madre was awarded a
grant by Rotary District 5300 that allowed the Club
to put a dictionary into the hands of every 3rd grade
student in Sierra Madre. The Club was also able to
provide a companion workbook called, “How to Use a Dictionary,
How to Use a Thesaurus.”
Marilyn Diaz, President of the club said, “Sierra Madre Rotary
decided to embark on a series of literacy projects this year, and
the dictionary distribution seemed like a great fit.” The dictionary,
titled “The Best Dictionary for Students” contains about 33,000
words, just over 10% of the 300,000 words that comprise the
English language. “It’s a great first dictionary for students because
it’s comprehensive, without being overwhelming for the kids,” said
Diaz.
The response from the 3rd graders themselves has been very
enthusiastic. Because the dictionary is given to the students and not
the school, the kids take special pride in ownership. The students
especially enjoy the fact that the five longest words in the English
language (the longest has 45 letters) are contained on one page.
The timing for a project such as this couldn’t be better. Students are
just learning to use a dictionary during the third grade, a critical
year for building reading and comprehension skills. As they take on
ever more challenging material, the students often encounter words
they haven’t seen before.
The Rotary Club of Sierra Madre hopes to continue the project
during the coming school year.

FOOD & DRINK
SIERRA MADRE CHILI COOK-OFF
No Beans about the Annual Sierra Madre Kiwanis Chili Cook-Off is just around the corner. I am
an old hand at these events; you see I put on the very popular Pasadena Chili Cook-Off for some 12
years. At one point we attracted some 30 cooks and 1200 attendees. I invite all of you to this event, I
judged last year and I was absolutely impressed with the quality of entrants. My idea of a true chili is
one that has no beans, but I have a feeling that there will be all sorts of entrants that I will state “This
is Chili?”…I did a little research on how this Chili
TA B L E F O R T WO by Peter Dills
Craze got started,
[email protected]
and these are the two that make the most sense.
See everyone Saturday Night, May 17th at the
Sierra Madre Room 611 E. Sierra Madre Blvd. Sierra Madre.
Now, about Chili:
There is little doubt that cattle drivers and trail hands did more to popularize the dish throughout the
Southwest than anybody else, and there is a tale that we heard one frosty night in a Texican bar in Marfa,
Texas, about a range cook who made chili along all the great cattle trails of Texas. He collected wild
oregano, chile peppers, wild garlic, and onions and mixed it all with the fresh-killed beef or buffalo - or
jackrabbit, armadillo, rattlesnake, or whatever he had at hand - and the cowhands ate it like ambrosia.
And to make sure he had an ample supply of native spices wherever he went, he planted gardens along
the paths of the cattle drives - mostly in patches of mesquite - to protect them from the hooves of the
marauding cattle.
The next time the
drive went by there,
he found his garden
and harvested the
crop, hanging the
peppers and onions
and oregano to dry
on the side of the
chuck wagon. The
cook blazed a trail
across Texas with
tiny, spicy gardens.
The other story I like
as well, is that a small Rio Grande Jail in Texas was home to the original chili, the story goes that the
inmates gathered scraps of meat, any kind of spices or anything that was left over and made a think
soup, as they added vegetables the “soup” got thicker and thicker. The inmates added gruel, bread and
water to thicken it up. By the 1850’s each Texas Jail was rated by the chili that was served!!
Join me this Saturday May 17th and decide for yourself, is this the stuff that legends are made from?

A BURNING ISSUE: SOY BASED CANDLES VS.
PARAFFIN BASED CANDLES
Many of us enjoy burning candles for a number of reasons. From setting the mood and aroma therapy
to enjoy while relaxing in the tub, candles offer us a chance to enhance our surroundings with our
favorite fragrance to soothe our souls.
With many candle products on the market today, there are big differences in the way they are produced
and the materials used to make them.
Most candles are either Soy based or Paraffin based. There are advantages and disadvantages to both.
Soy wax is produced from soybeans. Paraffin wax is produced from petroleum.
Since they are made of vegetable oil, soy based candles burn cleaner and release no known carcinogens.
Whereas paraffin
based candles can
produce
atoxic
soot that can affect
people, pets and the
environment.
Soy candles burn
50% longer than
paraffin and almost
always leave no
excess wax on
the sides of their
containers. While
you may pay more
for soy, in the long
run it cost effective
due to the longer
burning time.
Soy candles burn
cleaner
than
paraffin
candles,
due to the fact they
are vegetable based
and not chemically
based. Soy will not
produce the same amount of soot and if you burn a lot of candles over time it can discolor walls,
furniture and carpet. If you have had a soy candle that did produce a lot of soot, it is likely that the
candle was not 100% soy.
The scent of a soy candle is much stronger due to the fact they have a lower melting point and
therefore a larger liquid wax pool around the wick. The essential oils of a candle are evaporated into
the atmosphere through this process.
Just a couple of tips to help in keeping your candles longer and cleaner:
Always keep the wick trimmed to ¼” and use a wick dipper instead of a snuffer, as this will cut down
on the smoke when extinguishing your candle.
It is best to burn a candle in 2-3 hours intervals to keep it more level. If your candle comes with a lid,
keep the lid on when candle is not burning, as this will help the fragrance to last longer.
Of course, never leave a candle burning unattended.
We have a wonderful and varied selection of candles in the shop now – from Citronella, Sake Lemon
Flower to Peach Blossom. We are sure there is one to delight your senses!
We’d like to hear from you!

HEALTHY LIFESTYLES
THE JOY OF YOGA
A BALANCING ACT
In yoga there are three inherent attributes to nature. There are 3 forces that are philosophical concepts of the mind or constitutions of the
mind. The minds constitution is determined by the exact balance of
these three forces. They are: Rajas, Tamas and Sattwa. We are a blend.
Discriminative knowledge is the way to liberation, according to the
great sage Patanjali. The word for it in Sanskrit is SATTWA which we
think of as clarity, balance and ease. Sattwa is Luminosity, light and
tranquil.
We want to cultivate Sattwa.
Rajas is dynamic, active, vibrant, agitated, turbulent. It helps us to evolve, to expand and to grow.
But the way we usually see it throwing off our balance is restlessness, activity and distraction. It can
even be a little too type A?
Tamas is darkness, solid, mass, inert, stuck, dense and thick. It is heavy and slow. Tamas does not
like change.
So while the mass of our body is heavy - we want it to be light in the world.
Rajas and Tamas cause Duhka, or suffering. So if your mind is disturbed - add some Rajas. If your
mind is distracted - add some Tamas. Help it get clear by cultivating the opposite and reach for
Sattwa.
Yes, of course we can help you with this in yoga class. We start with the body and work toward
the mind. The mind should be stable but not stuck. It should be quick but not too aggressive. It
should be balanced, clear and at ease. Welcome to yoga and yoga psychotherapy. It's all a beautiful
balancing act!
See you in class.

great genes. Well, the researchers did a second
study using sedimentary volunteers who were
65 or older with skin representative of their age.
They had them exercise moderately, 2 days a
week for roughly 60 minutes, for three months.
What the researchers found was that most if not
all of these participants had skin that looked like
that of a 20 to 40 year old. OK, I do have to state
that the researchers used skin that wasn’t expose

SENIOR HAPPENINGS
AIR TRAVEL TIPS FOR SENIORS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
Dear Savvy Senior:
I would like to fly my elderly parents across the country next month for my daughter’s wedding but have
some concerns about the flight. My mom has trouble walking long distances and my dad has COPD and
needs an oxygen tank. What airport or airline services are available to help old passengers?
Concerned Daughter
Dear Concerned:
Flying can be physically exhausting for anyone,
but for seniors with health issues or physical limitations it can be extremely challenging. Here are a
few tips that can help.
Booking the Flight
When you go to book your parent’s flight, this is
the time to make special requests that can help make the trip easier for them. You’ll need to make
these requests over the phone.
For example, you may want to inquire about seats in the front of the plane for easier access or bulkhead seats that provides extra leg room, and you should probably request a wheelchair or two with
attendant(s) to maneuver your parents through the airports they will be departing from and arriving
to, and if there’s a connecting flight in between.
If your parents don’t want a wheelchair, but want some help, ask about electric carts.
You also need to check with the airline regarding their policy for portable oxygen concentrators for
your dad. Some airlines require specific medical forms that will need to be signed by his doctor.
Airport Assistance
If your parents are flying on their own, you should know that airlines allow elderly fliers to be escorted
to and from the gate by a non-traveling companion, as long as the escort provides his or her full name,
birth date and government-issued ID.
If no one is available to help your parents, find out how the airline can assist them. Delta Airlines, for
example, can have an employee help your parents through check-in with 48 hours notice, and American Airlines provides special assistance to passengers with disabilities.
Or, consider hiring an independent company like Royal Airport Concierge Services (isroyalusa.com),
who will meet your parents at the curb to help them check their bags and escort them to security.
They typically charge $150 to $250 and serve dozens of airports across the U.S.
There are also a number of traveling companion services like FlyingCompanions.com and PreferredTravelHelpers.com that will do everything, including making the travel arrangements, accompanying your parents on the trip, and facilitating their needs along the way. Fees vary, depending on
what’s needed and travel costs.
Going Through Security
All U.S. airports offer expedited screening to passengers 75 and older that allows them to move
through security without removing their shoes or jacket, and many airports have lanes specifically
for use by passengers with disabilities and medical conditions so they don’t have to wait in line. They
should ask about these when they check-in.
If your parents are packing medications in a carry-on bag, they should know that their pills and/or
liquid medications do not have to be packed in their prescription containers to get through airport
security, but they will need to separate them from their other belongings so they can be screened.
Liquid medications in excess of 3.4 ounces will require separate screening.
For more information on other airport security screening policies and procedures visit tsa.gov/traveler-information, or call TSA Cares at 855-787-2227 where you can ask specific questions.
Boarding and Deboarding
When it’s time to board, your parents can take advantage of the airlines pre-boarding option for elderly passengers who need some extra time to get on the plane and get settled. And for getting off the
plane, they can wait for the other passengers to debark so attendants can assist them with carry-ons
and escort them from the plane.
Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.

THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE CRAZY
It’s that time of year again! The weather’s getting warmer, flowers are blooming,
and school children are itching with spring fever! And it’s only the end of April!
But you must remember that many schools started way back in the middle of
August. That leaves only about 30 school days left, and both students and teachers
are running on fumes.
Most “naughty” kids push the envelope of their teacher’s patience at the beginning of the school
year. But there are always a few who students snap and revert to their old ways in this last leg of the
race. This is what happened near the end of one of my mom’s last years of teaching third grade in a
public school.
The student in question (let’s call him Ned) came to third grade with a reputation for chronic
sassy-ness, noncompliance, and general misconduct. Ned’s previous teachers had exhausted all
the usual disciplinary methods: e.g., behavior contracts, punishment, rewards, screaming --all to
no avail. Since my mom had 30 plus years of
experience in the trenches dealing with every
variety of students, she had a full arsenal of
strategies at her disposal.
You see, some kids just get so callused and
jaded over the years that traditional approaches
at behavior modification fall short. These kids
have grown accustomed to having teachers
negotiate with them, cajole them, punish
them, and yell to the point of developing vocal
nodules. What they’re not used to is teachers
who are just as crazy as they are!
My mom and Ned maintained a working
relationship for most of the year, but near the
end Ned started to slip back into his whinny,
argumentative habits. Specifically, he claimed
that my mom had confiscated a ring of his at the beginning of the year, and now he wanted it back.
Of course there was no such ring, but that didn’t matter to Ned. He just wanted a fight. Their
conversation went something like this:
Ned: “Hey, Mrs. Hopkins, you never gave back my ring that you took away.”
Mom: “I never took a ring from you. What are you talking about?”
Ned: (whining) “NO! You took it! I remember!”
Mom: (walking to her desk, she cut a small rectangle of paper, connected the ends with tape,
and handed it to Ned.) “Ok, here’s a ring for you.”
Ned: (surprised, but still angry) “No! It was a real ring! My dad gave it to me!”
Mom: “That is a real ring. Look, you can put it on your finger.”
Ned: “No! It had a diamond on it!”
Mom: (she takes the paper ring back and draws a diamond shape in the middle) “Okay, here’s
a diamond.”
Ned: (walking away with his new ring) “I’m telling my dad!”
Mom: “That’s fine. While you’re at it, remind him to sign and return your report card.”
Ned had a big, strong male teacher for fourth grade. Around the end of the year, Ned’s
mom came back to thank my mom for working with him. “You’re the only one who was able
to manage him!”
Teaching, for the most part, is a thankless job of civil servants. But occasionally there’s something
to brag about!
FYI -
SENIORS - DON’T BE A TARGET
THE F.B.I. Common Fraud Schemes webpage provides tips on how you can protect you and your
family from fraud. Senior Citizens especially should be aware of fraud schemes for the following
reasons:
Senior citizens are most likely to have a “nest egg,” to own their home, and/or to have excellent
credit—all of which make them attractive to con artists.
People who grew up in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s were generally raised to be polite and trusting.
Con artists exploit these traits, knowing that it is difficult or impossible for these individuals to say
“no” or just hang up the telephone.
Older Americans are less likely to report a fraud because they don’t know who to report it to, are
too ashamed at having been scammed, or don’t know they have been scammed. Elderly victims may
not report crimes, for example, because they are concerned that relatives may think the victims no
longer have the mental capacity to take care of their own financial affairs.
When an elderly victim does report the crime, they often make poor witnesses. Con artists know
the effects of age on memory, and they are counting on elderly victims not being able to supply
enough detailed information to investigators. In addition, the victims’ realization that they have
been swindled may take weeks—or more likely, months—after contact with the fraudster. This
extended time frame makes it even more difficult to remember details from the events.
Senior citizens are more interested in and susceptible to products promising increased cognitive
function, virility, physical conditioning, anti-cancer properties, and so on. In a country where new
cures and vaccinations for old diseases have given every American hope for a long and fruitful life,
it is not so unbelievable that the con artists’ products can do what they claim.

“Now, Ms. Lyons,” said the doctor, “you say you have shooting pains in your neck, dizziness, and
constant nausea. Just for the record, how old are you?” “Why, I’m going to be 39 on my next birthday,”
the woman replied indignantly. “Hmmm,” muttered the doctor, “Got a slight loss of memory, too.”

SOUTHLAND RESIDENTS CAN SAVE SOME
CASH WITH ANNUAL LAWN MOWER
EXCHANGE PROGRAM
SCAQMD Expects to Exchange 4,000 Lawn Mowers This Spring
Southland residents can register starting on Wed., April 16 to get up to 75 percent in savings on a
new electric lawn mower with the South Coast AQMD’s popular Lawn Mower Exchange Program.
Now in its 12th year, the program helps the wallet and air quality by trading residents’ used, highly
polluting gas-powered lawn mowers for environmentally friendly, cordless battery-electric models.
This year’s program offers 4,000 mowers for trade-in. SCAQMD encourages residents to act fast once
registration opens and secure a spot at one of four events being held this year in Long Beach, Pasadena, Riverside and Anaheim.
“By participating in the Lawn Mower Exchange Program, residents will get a brand new mower that
is easier to operate and quieter than a gas model for just a fraction of the retail price,” said William
A. Burke, Ed.D., SCAQMD’s Governing Board Chairman. “In addition to taking advantage of this
great offer, residents will also help better their community by eliminating air pollution from old gas
mowers.”
In fact, an older gas-powered lawn mower can spew more pollution into the air in a single year than
a car driven more than 22,000 miles.
Residents have the opportunity to register and choose from one of five Black & Decker and Greenstation battery electric models ranging from $100 to $250:
-- Black & Decker 18” 36 volt, $100 (Retail price: $379) (75 percent savings!)
-- Black & Decker 19” 36 volt, $180 (Retail price: $429)
-- Black & Decker 19” 36 volt self-propelled, $250 (Retail price: $479)
-- Greenstation 20” 24 volt, $160 (Retail price: $430)
-- Greenstation 19” 24 volt self-propelled, $230 (Retail price: $470)
To take advantage of this great offer, residents must pre-register at www.aqmd.gov by clicking on the
Lawn Mower Exchange banner, or calling 1-888-425-6247. Registration opens April 16 at 8 a.m. and
is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Exchanging a mower is easy and convenient – only a 10- to 15-minute process – and participants
never have to leave their car. Upon arrival, workers will remove the old gas mower from the vehicle
and drain it of hazardous fluids prior to its destruction at a metal recycling facility. After payment is
made, attendants will place the new, boxed mower in the customer’s vehicle. To view a video on the
exchange process, visit www.aqmd.gov.
Residents must be at least 18 years old to participate in the program. Gas-powered mowers must be
in working order and only one mower per household can be exchanged. Cash, check or major credit
cards are accepted for payment.
CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY APPROVES THREE HOLDEN BILLS
AB 1557 – AB 1912 – AJR 33
Sacramento – The California Assembly today gave overwhelming, bi-partisan approval to three bills
authored by Assemblymember Chris Holden (D-Pasadena). The three include legislation to give
veterans a stronger voice in college leadership, ensure the legacy of President Obama is included in
school textbooks, and a resolution to honor unsung heroes of the Vietnam War.
AB 1557 gives veterans permanent seats on the Board of Governors of the California Community
College system by adding a student member who is a veteran or current member of the military.
The bill also requires one of the existing 12 board seats to be held by a member or former member
of the Armed Forces who has demonstrated expertise and leadership in the field of veterans’ affairs.
AB 1912 would encourage the State Board of Education to provide academic curriculum on the
election of President Barack Obama and its historical impact. The state’s history-social science
standards for grades 7 – 12 have not been revised in nine years due largely to the state’s fiscal crisis.
The next review and adoption of instructional materials will not take place until the 2015-2016
school year.
AJR 33 calls on the Department of Defense to “set the record straight” by adding the names of 74
sailors killed during the Vietnam War, to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. The
men were killed when their ship sank in the South China Sea during naval exercises. The Defense
Department has said the destroyer was outside the combat zone when it collided with an Australian
aircraft carrier. The families of the brave men who died have been battling for 45 years to have the
names of their loved ones inscribed on the Vietnam wall memorial.
SENATOR HUFF’S BILL TO SAVE KIDS’ LIVES WINS UNANIMOUS
SUPPORT IN SENATE HEALTH COMMITTEE
Student Allergy Emergency Treatment Bill Now Moves To Senate Judiciary Committee
SACRAMENTO: The Senate Health Committee
voted unanimously to approve SB 1266 by Senate
Republican Leader Bob Huff (R-Diamond Bar)
which requires public schools to stock epinephrine
auto injectors – commonly known as epi-pens - on
campus. According to expert testimony during the
committee hearing, this critically important medicine
can be administered quickly and safely if a student
suffers from a serious allergic reaction during school
hours. California law allows public schools to stock
epinephrine, but does not require it.
“This bill will save lives by ensuring emergency
medication is available at schools, so we can be sure
that all students with allergies are safe at school even
when they don’t know they have any allergy,” Senator
Huff said. "Anaphylaxis is a potentially lethal allergic
reaction and the number of children with this condition
is skyrocketing. It can happen when a person is stung
by a bee, ingests food such as shellfish or nuts, or
even comes in contact with something as simple as
latex. Reactions can be so severe, even fatal, without
prompt action. Epinephrine - commonly known as
adrenalin - is the first line of treatment. It can be easily
administered and it can take as little as five seconds
to save a life."
According to Food Allergy Research & Education,
which sponsored Senator Huff’s bill, as many as 15
million Americans suffer from life threatening allergies.
It is estimated that nearly 6 million of these people
are children under the age of 18 –one in every 13
children or 2 in every classroom. Approximately 25%
of first time allergic reactions that require epinephrine
happen at school. Members of the Senate Health
Committee heard compelling testimony during the
hearing from one of the nation’s foremost experts in
adult and pediatric allergies.
“What you as policy makers can do is to save lives,
and this bill will,” said Dr. Kari Nadeau, M.D & Ph.D.
of the Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital and the
Stanford Alliance of Food Allergy Research (SAFAR).
“Our nation spends $26 billion per year on food allergy
therapy and most of that is on emergency room
visits. Every three minutes in our country a child or
adult is going to an emergency room because of a
food allergy reaction. 1.2 million children will have an
allergy reaction in school and for a quarter of them
it will be their first experience. Those children are at
risk and I urge you to pass this bill so we can protect
them.”
SB 1266 is supported by the American Academy
of Allergy Asthma and Immunology; Asthma and
Allergy Foundation of America; American Red
Cross; California Academy of Physician Assistants;
California School Nurses Association, California
Advocates for Food Allergies; California American
College of Emergency Physicians; California Society
of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, and many other
local organizations and individuals. SB 1266 will be
heard next in the Senate Judiciary Committee on April
29th at 1:30pm in Room 112 of the State Capitol.
Senator Huff serves as the Senate
Republican Leader and represents the
29th Senate District covering portions of
Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino
Counties. Follow Senator Huff on Twitter at
@bobhuff99.
Exchange events will take place as follows. All events will take place on Saturdays from 8 a.m.
to noon.
-- May 3 in Long Beach
-- May 17 in Pasadena
-- June 14 in Riverside
-- June 28 in Anaheim
When the program ends this summer, SCAQMD will have scrapped more than 55,000 highly polluting gasoline mowers, removing almost 114 tons of smog-forming pollutants from the Southland’s air.
This year’s program is sponsored by the SCAQMD, in cooperation with the California Air Resources
Board, Southern California Edison, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, City of Anaheim,
City of Pasadena, Long Beach City College, Bourns, Inc., UC Riverside, and Anaheim Public Utilities. The program is funded through SCAQMD’s Air Quality Investment Program (AQIP), which is
financed by Southland companies that pay a fee in lieu of offering rideshare incentives as required by
SCAQMD’s Rule 2202.
The Lawn Mower Exchange Program will offset more emissions than would be achieved by an
employer rideshare program. SCAQMD is the air pollution control agency for Orange County and

THE WORLD AROUND US
EVIDENCE OF 26 ATOMIC BOMB-SCALE ASTEROID IMPACTS SINCE THE YEAR 2000
At a press conference April 22 at the Seattle Museum of Flight, three prominent astronauts
supporting the B612 Foundation presented a visualization of new data showing the surprising
frequency at which the Earth is hit by asteroids. The astronauts were guests of the Seattle Museum
for a special series of public events on Earth Day 2014.
Dr. Ed Lu, former US shuttle and Soyuz astronaut and co-founder and CEO of the B612 Foundation,
was joined by former NASA astronaut Tom Jones, president of the Association of Space Explorers and
Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders, first chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and former
chairman and CEO of General Dynamics, to discuss findings recently released from the Nuclear Test
Ban Treaty Organization, which operates a network of sensors that monitors the Earth around the
clock listening for the infrasound signatures of nuclear detonations.
Between 2000 and 2013, this network detected 26 explosions on Earth ranging in energy from 1
to 600 kilotons—all caused not by nuclear explosions, but rather by asteroid impacts. To put that in
perspective, the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in 1945 exploded with an energy impact of
15 kilotons. While most of these asteroids exploded too high in the atmosphere to do serious damage
on the ground, the evidence is important in estimating the frequency of potential “city-killer-size”
asteroids.
The Earth is continuously colliding with fragments of asteroids, the largest in recent times exploding
over Tunguska, Siberia, in 1908 with an energy impact of between 5 and 15 megatons. More recently,
we witnessed the 600-kiloton impact in Chelyabinsk, Russia, in 2013, and asteroid impacts greater
than 20 kilotons occurred in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, in 2009, in the Southern Ocean in 2004, and
in the Mediterranean Sea in 2002. Important to note as well is the fact that none of these asteroids
were detected or tracked in advance by any existing space-based or terrestrial observatory.
“While most large asteroids with the potential to destroy an entire country or continent have
been detected, less than 10,000 of the more than a million dangerous asteroids with the potential
to destroy a major metropolitan area have been found by all existing space or terrestrially-operated
observatories,” stated Lu. “Because we don’t know where or when the next major impact will occur,
the only thing preventing a catastrophe from a ‘city-killer’ sized asteroid has been blind luck.”
The B612 Foundation aims to change that by building the Sentinel Space Telescope Mission, an
early warning infrared space telescope for tracking asteroids that would provide many years to deflect
an asteroid when it is still millions of miles away. The B612 Sentinel Mission will be the world’s first
privately funded deep space mission that will create the first comprehensive dynamic map of our
inner solar system, identifying the current and future locations and trajectories of Earth crossing
asteroids. Sentinel will detect and track more than 200,000 asteroids in just the first year of operation,
after a planned launch in 2018.
The B612 Foundation (http://www.b612foundation.org) is named for the asteroid home of the
“Little Prince” in Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s classic novel, Le Petit Prince. The Little Prince came to
realize that what is essential in life is often invisible to the human eye.

explosions, see: https://b612foundation.org/portfolio/impact-video

JUST FOR BEST FRIENDS
LIFE’S TRUE TREASURES:
Happy Tails
Original Roots of Happiness
by Chris Leclerc
“Right now at this moment, you have a mind
which is all the basic equipment you
need to achieve complete happiness.” ~ Dalai
Lama
Is it just me, or has the majority of the population
in our “highly advanced” American society
lost sight of what really matters in life? Perhaps
the wonders of technology and the seemingly
unlimited resources that make our lives so much
easier in America, have become a distasteful
distraction from life’s true treasures.
I remember a conversation I had with a couple of
close friends at an open house Christmas party a
few years ago, during which I lost my audience
when I admitted that, in some ways I envy those
who live in lesser developed countries where they
still practice tribal rites, they value their cultural
roots, and have not been tainted by the lures of the
western world. If that wasn’t enough, I continued
my ‘monologue’ by confessing that if given the
option, I doubt I would ever have even invented
the clock. I know that sounds pretty radical, but I
truly feel that way.
Understandably, my friends were quite perplexed
by my less-than-conventional comments, and they
were rather astounded by my overall opinion that
mankind has lost it’s way in this world by leaving
their original roots behind to chase rainbows of
power, success, fame and fortune, and last but not
least, to trade irreplaceable treasures of nature for
the conveniences and comforts of life.
I have been told that moderation is a key
component to health and happiness, and for the
most part I agree. So, when new cultural concepts
arise, I often wonder why people find it necessary
to completely do away with, and replace the
original ways of living with the new. Knowledge
and understanding are God-given virtues that we
humans were blessed with from the beginning,
and He instilled such virtues within us for an
express purpose; to determine and choose the
right path for ourselves as part of His creation.
While the relatively recent rise of technology &
scientific discovery are considered to be positive
developments for mankind, they can never replace
the basic inherent virtues that God gave us as tools
for living on earth, from the beginning.
It seems that few
cultures have managed
to adhere to the
basic premises of
life that were taught
from the start, but
there is one “underdeveloped”
nation,
centered deeply in the
eastern
hemisphere
whose people seem
to have found a way
to maintain their
appreciation for their
original roots of happiness. An ancient country
with a mere population of about 600,000
people, Bhutan is a kingdom neatly centered
in the Himalaya, sandwiched between two
huge neighboring countries; China and India.
Boasting more natural wildlife refuges and more
appreciation for nature than any other country on
earth, Bhutan is a virtual paradise lost.
In a relatively recent survey, 97% of the Bhutanese
population declared themselves to be ‘happy‘. In
terms of monetary and material wealth, Bhutan
hardly even registers on the world index, so I
cannot help asking myself, “What is it about
Bhutan that generates so much contentment?”.
The simple answer is that the kingdom of
Bhutan has chosen an alternate path to that of
economic development. Ironically, while Bhutan
is considered to be among the poorest countries
on earth, more of God’s creatures thrive in their
natural habitat there, than in any other country!
Bhutanese people live by a code of life that is
very different from ours in the western world.
Their decidedly slow-growth approach in today’s
society, sets them apart from the rest of the world.
The Bhutanese culture is guided by the ideals of
sanctity of life, preservation of nature, and giving
back to earth what has been taken away, so in
keeping with their philosophies they intentionally
resist the influences of western “progressive”
culture, particularly the idea of making life simpler
with technology, and the pursuit of monetary
gains. To me, this makes total sense.
Indeed, the Bhutanese are people after my own
heart. One thing that I really respect about the
Bhutanese culture, is the fact that the citizens
never assume true ownership of the property they
occupy. Not because the government says so, but
because they believe that the earth can never truly
be owned, but only borrowed for the period of
time during which they occupy it. How true this
is, regardless of where you live on planet earth.
The lessons that can be learned from the cultural
lifestyle of the Bhutanese are manifold. They
protect the animals with which they share their
land-mass. They appreciate every aspect of nature,
and are careful to reciprocate to keep a healthy
balance. They are calm-spirited individuals who
do not let themselves become caught up in the trap
of need or greed, and to me that is the ultimate
true root of happiness.

LOOKING FOR A BEST FRIEND?
Thea is a beautiful miniature
pinscher-chihuahua mix. She
has been at our shelter since
September 2011. We have no idea
why she has been passed over for
adoption. Many of her kennel
mates have found homes during
the past two years, but Thea’s
family has not found her yet.
Thea will greet anyone near her
kennel by jumping up and down
on her long legs. It’s as if she is
saying, “Pick me! Pick me!” She
loves the staff and volunteers
she has interacted with, and will
reward them with a quick kiss
when she is picked up or harnessed for a walk.
Thea loves to go for walks and is very good on the leash. She has a medium energy level, and will
run if she has the chance, but she is also a good walker. When she has the chance to get off leash in
the small shelter yard area, she loves to run laps around the yard, especially if she has another dog
to play with. She is very playful with other dogs and with toys, but when you are least expecting
it, she will jump into your lap for a little kiss and cuddle time. Then she is off again playing tag
with her dog friends (or people friends). She is a smart girl and will sit for treats. She has gone to
several off-site adoption events, and is a perfect lady out in public.
Thea can be shy with new people, and is a little selective on who she will allow in her personal
space, but once you have gotten to know her, she is friendly and happy to see you. Thea needs a
family who will allow her the time to get to know them and earn her trust. It doesn’t take long once
she is feeling comfortable and secure. Then she will love you forever!
Thea is about 3 years old and weighs about 10 pounds. She is mostly black with beautiful tan
highlights showing off her pretty face and her long legs. Her coat is very short and does not require
much grooming. Please consider coming in to meet the lovely Thea.
She currently resides at the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society located at 851 E. Grand Avenue in
San Gabriel. We are located off San Gabriel Blvd., north of Mission and south of Las Tunas.
To arrange a ‘Meet and Greet’ with Thea (aka…5199), please stop by any time from 10:00am to
4:30pm Tuesday thru Sunday.
Her adoption fee is $120 which includes her spay surgery, a microchip, first vaccinations and a free
wellness check-up at a participating veterinarian. Feel free to call us at (626) 286-1159 for more
information on Thea.
See our website at www.sgvhumane.org for information and photos of all our available pets.

SEAN’S SHAMELESS
REVIEWS:
By Sean Kayden
APRIL’S PLAYLIST
Vacationer – “The Wild Life” – Vacationer features Kenny Vasoil former
frontman of emo pop-punk band, The Starting Line. Their new song, “The Wild
Life,” is officially the first estival jam one can really get behind. It features tropical
beats and a glazed lazy summer vibe. It’s very similar to something off their first record, “Gone,” which
debuted two years ago. That album was solid and a nice departure from Vasoil’s previous venture. If
“The Wild Life” is any indication of what the entire album (“Relief,” due out June 24th) may sound like,
we’re once again in for a treat. The soundtrack to the upcoming summer may just belong to Vacationer.
The Antlers – “Palace” – The Antlers’ new glowing single, “Palace” is delicate and somber. The track,
which is off the forthcoming record, “Familiars,” features a soft piano, horns, and Peter Silberman’s
wispy, tender croon. This marks the band first LP since 2011’s “Burst Apart,” which was one of the best
records of that year. Comparative to songs off their previous two LPs, The Antlers have crafted another
gorgeously compose gem. If you’re looking for a meditative experience then look no further. The third
full-length album is due out June 17th. It may not be the idyllic summer record, but there is no denying
the sheer beauty that lies within their songs.
Wye Oak – “Shriek” – Wye Oak has ditched guitars for their fourth record, “Shriek.” Lead singer
Jenn Wasner now plays bass whilst singing in this duo. The title track is extremely melodic with the
band’s new shift in direction. With their latest endeavor, the rhythmic elements thrive. The bass and
keyboards combination are infectious along with Wasner’s breezy vocals. This new passageway finds
Wye Oak in 80s snyth-pop stimulated territory. I’m totally on board with the lane change and “Shriek”
hits shelves April 29th.
Fear Of Men – “Decent” - Brighton’s Fear Of Men specializes in sweet-pop music. Their latest single,
“Decent” offers a darker foray into the lyrics department. The track is razor sharp. It’s absolutely
glorious from start to finish. The surprisingly upbeat approach is unusual given the haunting lyrics.
This trio (one girl, two guys) just released their debut LP, “Loom,” on April 22nd via Kanine Records.
These newbies have a bright sound that makes them the dark horse pick for rising up and comers. Be
sure to check “Loom” from Fear of Men if you’re in need of a fresh start on the music forefront.
The Crookes – “Outsiders” - Sheffield rockers, “The Crookes” recently released “Soapbox” this month.
“Outsiders” is a typical rock jam from young lads from Britain these days. Comparative to mega
successful band, Arctic Monkeys, “Outsiders” has big hooks. The aforementioned track has great
melodies and is fairly magnificent in the way it plays out. From what I could tell, this new record has
the group pushing past their previous limits for a more cohesive effort. Perhaps with this new release the Brits
will find more success stateside. The Crookes’ third album “Soapbox” is a worth seeking out if British rock n’ roll satisfies your eardrums.

CAFFEINATED: HOW OUR DAILY HABIT HELPS, HURTS,
AND HOOKS US by Murray Carpenter
The most popular drug in America is a white powder. No, not that
powder. But an additive under the radar. This is caffeine in its most
essential state. And Caffeinated reveals the little known truth about this
addictive,in that it is a largely unregulated drug found in coffee, energy
drinks, teas, colas, chocolate, and even pain relievers. We’ll learn why
caffeine has such a powerful effect on everything from boosting our
mood to improving our athletic performance as well as how brands such
as Coca Cola have ducked regulatory efforts for decades. We learn the
differences in the various ways caffeine is delivered to the body, how it is
quietly used to reinforce our buying patterns, and how it can play a role in
promoting surprising health problems like obesity and anxiety. Drawing
on the latest research, Caffeinated brings us the inside perspective on this
additive.
THE SIXTH EXTINCTION: AN UNNATURAL HISTORY by Elizabeth Kolbert
This is a book about the future of the world, blending intellectual and natural history and field
reporting into a powerful account of the mass extinction unfolding before our eyes. Over the last
half a billion years, there have been five mass extinctions. Scientists are currently monitoring the
6th extinction, predicted to be the most devastating extinction event since the asteroid impact that
wiped out the dinosaurs. This time around, the cause is us. Kolbert draws on the work of scores
of researchers in half a dozen disciplines, accompanying many of them into the field: geologists
who study deep ocean cores, botanists who follow the tree line as it climbs up the Andes, marine
biologists who dive off the Great Barrier Reef. She introduces us to a dozen species, some already gone,
others facing extinction, including the Panamian golden frog, staghorn coral, the great auk, and the
Sumatran rhino. Through these stories, Kolbert provides a moving account of the disappearances
occurring all around us. The sixth extinction is likely to be mankind's most lasting legacy; it compels
us to rethink the fundamental question of what it means to be human.
CORRUPT PRACTICES: A PARKER STERN NOVEL by Robert Rotstein
A Los Angeles church, considered by some to be a powerful cult, charges Rich Baxter with
embezzling millions. Rich reaches out to former colleague and star trial attorney Parker Stern to
come to his defense. Parker despises the cult, but he hasn’t entered a courtroom since developing
severe stage fright after his mentor, Harmon Cherry, committed suicide. Rich claims that Cherry
did not kill himself, he was murdered by someone connected to the church. At first, Parker doesn’t
believe it until disturbing events force him to question what’s really happening. As the case takes
an unexpected turn, Parker surprises himself and agrees to take on the church. But to represent his
client and uncover the truth he must overcome his own long buried secrets. "This is a terrific book.
A first rate job on this legal thriller. The story is beautifully structured for maximum intrigue and
suspense.” SUE GRAFTON, #1 NY Times bestselling author.
The 52nd annual Friends of the Sierra Madre Library’s Art

her booth to admire her lovely creations and to purchase a unique piece of jewelry.
Live music will be featured throughout the weekend in the band shell and on the south lawn.
Guests will enjoy an eclectic selection of music that’s sure to please even the most discriminating

FAMILY MATTERS
By Marc Garlett
DON’T CHASE THE
MARKET
Buyer's market or seller's market - the simple fact is that your home is worth only what a buyer will
pay for it. The simple law of supply and demand usually determines the final sale price. If there are
fewer homes for sale in your area, then buyers must compete for those listings, making it a seller's
market.
However, when there is a glut of homes for sale, buyers have more choice and more power to
dictate price and terms, creating a buyer's market. Many communities are seeing large inventories
of homes for sale, due to economic conditions and defaults.
So if your home is to get attention in those conditions, you've got to price aggressively against your
competition. Do not overprice your home, because you may end up making even less money than
if you had priced properly from the start. Why? Because sellers who overprice have to keep chasing
the market down by reducing their price.
While setting a price is ultimately your decision and your decision alone, do some research and
educate yourself first. Order an appraisal and consult with a real estate professional to get a realistic
figure for your home's value. If you choose not to comply with current market value, then you won't
be a seller, you'll just be an owner with a For Sale sign in the yard.
VACATIONS ARE THE PERFECT TIME FOR FAMILIES TO TALK
ABOUT ESTATE PLANNING
If you are like most Americans, you will probably
be spending at least some of your vacation time
this summer with older family members. While
there are few perfect times to talk with parents
about their estate plan, the relaxed times you
spend together on vacation can be one of them.
Here are some tips on how to conduct this critical
conversation:
Find a good place to start. One of the best ways to
ease your parents into this type of discussion is to
bring up your own planning. Tell your parents you
were looking into estate planning and wondered
if they had already executed a plan of their own.
Sometimes you can use current events to good
effect – there are lots of recent stories about
celebrities or others who neglected to plan and
whose families suffered the dire consequences.
Take it easy. If you feel your parents may need
some help with organizing their financial lives,
be reassuring rather than applying pressure.
Let them know your goal is to make sure their
financial independence is kept intact for as long
as possible. Take things one step at a time, such as
extending an offer to help them use online bill pay
or assist them with organizing their information
at tax time.
Respect boundaries.
Many parents feel
uncomfortable discussing their finances with
their children. If you face this obstacle, let your
parents know that you at least need to know
where to find their important documents when it
becomes necessary, but that you aren’t attempting
to control them in anyway. You simply want to
help and make things as easy as possible for you
and your siblings when something does happen.
Sometimes initiating a conversation with parents
about estate planning can be easier with the help
of a trusted professional. During a Family Estate
Planning Session we can guide the conversation
and help you and your family take control of their
affairs. Call our office today at 626.355.4000 to
schedule a time for us to sit down and talk about
designing an estate plan that fits the needs of you
and your family, or visit www.GarlettLaw.com for
more information.

the creative entrepreneur
*
by Lori Koop, Business Coach
I know you’re an entrepreneur… but do you LOVE what you do?
It’s easy to get side-tracked. To start following the customer, rather than your own heart. To work
around the clock and forget balance. To ignore passion in lieu of the sale. Bottom line… it’s easy to
fall out of love with your business.
It happens subtly. Each action sending you in an ever- so-slightly revised direction. And eventually,
you end up in a different business. And you can’t get out of bed in the morning.
Where the heck are you? Far from your true self.
It’s important in business, as in life, to stay connected to The Real You. To your essence… your spirit.
Your spirit knows you intimately, and it knows why you’re here. Its job is to help you reach your TRU,
outrageous potential! There’s nothing to guess at. You simply have to stay connected within to hear
and do what it’s telling you.
But there’s an antagonist…. that part of the left brain containing those recordings of fear and doubt.
It’s the part of you that does not want risk, is afraid of the unknown, who runs from possibilities. It
seeks safety, not adventure. And its voice is powerful and can overshadow the softer, pure voice of
the spirit.
The spirit knows the way, but you’ve got to make room. Find a place to be still in each and every day
to listen. Write down what you hear your spirit saying. Ask questions as you would a friend. It IS your
friend. And it will always guide you to the adventure. It will tell you where to go and how to get there,
when you’re off base and when you’re in LOVE.

STUDY SUGGESTS 'GRIT'
CAN BE DEVELOPED
By Cynthia Kurtz President, SGVED
What makes one business person successful
while another in the same business fails? Why do
students with the same backgrounds perform so
differently on difficult tasks? Is it possible to predict
which employees will do well on challenging work?
Traditionally, when we ask these questions, we
look to IQ - the Intelligence Quotient - as the
way to predict achievement, job performance
and even income potential. IQ is measurable.
It is mathematical. It is a standard that allows
comparisons between people.
There is research underway that suggests that
IQ is not the only measure, maybe not even the
most important measure that can predict whether
someone will do well in school and in life.
Angela Lee Duckworth was teaching seventh
grade math when she began to notice that it wasn't
always her high IQ students who did best on tough
assignments. She began to watch more closely to see
if she could determine what it was that determined
success.
She became so interested in understanding this
phenomenon that she decided to study psychology
and started working with children and adults
in difficult situations - rookie teachers in tough
schools, West Point Military Academy cadets, and
people in high pressure sales positions. She looked
for the variables that would allow her to predict
who would do well.
Instead of social skills, family income, good looks,
or even IQ, she determined it was "grit." What is
grit? Remember the movie True Grit? The John
Wayne movie in which a young girl decides to
track down her father's murderer. She didn't know
it wasn't proper or possible. She simply decided to
do it and she did it. That pretty much is "grit." It
is a pervasive stamina, a determination to succeed
along with some just plain old follow-through.
Grit raises the same questions we have about
IQ - how do you get it? Can you learn it? Do you
inherit it? Can it be taught? The exact answer is still
unclear but Carol Dweck at the Stanford University
has published interesting research that suggests
that there is a way to develop grit.
Professor Dweck says it starts with "growth
in mindset." To the non-academic that means
believing that you have the ability to learn and that
failure isn't permanent.
When self-worth is measured only by success, then
it is unlikely that a person will pursue anything
that doesn't guarantee success.
Students who are taught that the brain is a muscle
that grows with exercise are fueled by setbacks.
Failure becomes an opportunity to learn instead of
a reflection of inadequacy. Not getting a problem
right the first time means working harder and
trying again.
The theory of mindset growth has implications for
many aspects of our lives but most certainly for how
businesses develop employee skills and encourage
innovation. Good performance shouldn't be
just about success but also about how someone
approaches risk and responds when things don't go
as planned. The result could well be motivation and
productivity gains for employees and businesses.

HOWARD Hays
It’s a topic that’s been a
favorite among pundits
and politicians for as long
as there’s been liberal/
conservative, left/right, blue/red and Hays/
Welborn.
But this wasn’t your standard opinion piece
about government for sale to the highest bidder.
It’s a dry, scientific analysis concluding that our
country’s transformation from democracy to
oligarchy is already pretty much a done deal.
It’s titled, “Testing Theories of American
Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average
Citizens”, by Professors Martin Gilens of
Princeton and Benjamin Page of Northwestern
– due to appear this fall in the journal,
“Perspectives on Politics”.
The first theory “tested” is Majoritarian
Electoral Democracy, which holds that within
the range of views Americans hold on an issue,
there’s a place in the middle that has the most
support – and that policy reflects most of the
time.
The next is Economic Elite Domination.
The authors clarify they’re not referring
necessarily to those considered “elite” because
of high positions – but to those who have lots
of money.
There’s Majoritarian Pluralism, where those
with common interests get together. The idea
is that competition between interest groups
usually leads to a moderate outcome.
Finally, there’s Biased Pluralism – groups
formed not from peoples’ common interests
but to promote a corporate interest.
For their study, Gilens and Page analyzed
1,779 policy change issues over twenty years,
and the views of those in the bottom 10%
in income, those at the median and those in
the upper 10% - not all super-rich, but with
incomes starting around $150k a year. Those
with median income also tended to have a
median view on issues.
They took interest groups pro and con on
a particular issue, crunched the numbers and
came up with a “net” interest group position.
They found that individuals with average
incomes tend to agree on most things with
those who are more affluent, but they don’t
agree with interest groups. This was true
with the “economic elite”, as well. While, for
example, as individuals they might support
smaller government, the business groups they
bankroll will support whatever corporate
welfare and government subsidy program that
helps boost profits.
Half-way through the study comes the
main point: When testing each of those four
“theories” independently, they can each be
affirmed as having an effect on policy changes.
It’s when you start comparing them that things
get out of whack.
When matched up against Majoritarian
Democracy, Economic Elites are shown to
have a “quite substantial, highly significant,
independent impact on policy”, while “ordinary
citizens” have “little or no independent
influence on policy at all.”
The result is somewhat of a mix, finding that
“both individual economic elites and organized
hear, but the more I pretended the more I
heard. That baby cried from the moment
we took off until the moment we landed.
When we landed, the baby fell asleep. I
wanted to cry myself.
That was last week. This week was
different in every respect. I enjoyed this
week, particularly the fact that I got all
my "to-do-list" accomplished and by early
Friday afternoon, I had nothing to do.
Nothing to do!
Then a thought wrestled my brain to the
mat. What if the Gracious Mistress of the
Parsonage found out I had finished all my
work and had nothing to do?
When I thought about this, one thought
that was predominant was that it is a good
thing when I do NOT finish everything in
a week. Then, I have the excuse that I have
too much to do to delve into the "honeydo-list" of which my wife is most famous.
I believe this "honey-do-list" is something
mothers pass on to their daughters. It is
part of the women's secret society that
does not permit any intrusion from the
non-female counterpart. It is the reason
wives prefer their husbands call them
the secret name, "Honey." Whenever the
husband uses this term of endearment
the wife smiles one of those romantic
smiles that her husband has no idea what
is behind that smile.
It has taken me a long time to come to
this point of understanding. While, it is
very gratifying to get your work for the
week done ahead of schedule, it creates
an opportunity for the intrusion of that
infamous "honey-do-list." This list has no
end to it.
When you accomplish one item on the
"honey-do-list," three other items appear
automatically. It is virtually impossible
to finish everything on that list. It is part
of the wife's secret society no man can
penetrate.
Being on such a good roll in any given
week is not the grand thing I thought it
was. I am now content to have my desk
piled high with unfinished work at the
end of each week.
Since I had a little bit of time on my hands,
I read what good old King Solomon, the
wisest man that ever lived, thought along
these lines. "Whatsoever thy hand findeth
to do, do it with thy might; for there is no
work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor
wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest"
(Ecclesiastes 9:10).
If I do not use my time to the best of my
ability, the probabilities are pretty high
somebody will intrude and use that time
for some other use.
LEFT TURN/RIGHT TURN
As I See It
“We can have
democracy in this country,
or we can have great wealth
concentrated in the hands
of a few, but we can’t have
both.”
–Louis Brandeis
Have you ever had
one of those weeks
where everything
went exactly as
planned? Well, neither have I, except for
last week. I do not know what was going
on last week, all I know is everything
went according to plan. My plan, that is.
I was on a roll.
In a sense, that worries me. I am not
accustomed to having my week work out
according to my plans. Normally, if I can
get 50% of my plans accomplished in a
week, I am doing pretty good. Last week
was one of those weeks, which may never
repeat itself ever again, I am sorry to say.
Or, am I sorry?
In contrast, the week before it was
horrendous.
I was out of town on business for the
week and had to return via the airplane.
If you have ever been on an airplane, you
know that the 10 dwarfs of Snow White
fame designed the seats. I think the one
in charge of the seat project was Grumpy.
I was flying from Chicago to Orlando,
which is not that bad of a trip. I boarded
the plane in Chicago and took my seat
at B3. I got all snuggled and strapped in
and was prepared for the trip. No sooner
had I gotten into this state of affairs, and
you know getting into those seats is one
of the great challenges that a real man
has, somebody came and stood at the
aisle looking at me and said in a high
pitch grumpy voice, "You are sitting in
my seat."
The emphasis on the word "my," indicated
to me I was up against someone that I did
not want to be up against.
"I'm sorry, madam," I stated as calmly
as possible, "but this is my seat." I tried
to emphasize the word "my" to get the
message across.
She stared at me with one of those stares
that penetrates the very soul of a person's
manhood. Then she waved her ticket at
me and said, "You are sitting in MY seat."
I took out my ticket to wave at her and
prove she was wrong. Much to my
chagrin, my seat was B13. Do you know
what it takes to get unbuckled from a
plane seat and extradite yourself out of it?
Especially when Ms. Grumpy is staring at
you with one of those stares.
I went back to B13 and went through the
same procedure to get myself situated in
the seat for someone half my size. Just
before the plane took off, I heard in the
seat behind me a little baby start to cry.
"Oh, no," I said to myself, "not a crying
baby!" Sure enough, in the seat behind
me was a baby with lungs the size of an
elephant. I tried pretending I did not
interest groups (including corporations, largely
owned and controlled by wealthy elites) play a
substantial part in affecting public policy, but
the general public has little or no independent
influence.”
Establishing constants for the “net” interest
group position and that of the Economic
Elite, the authors found that when it comes to
achieving policy changes, “it makes very little
difference what the general public thinks”. If
one-in-five of those in the upper 10% supports
something, it has an 18% chance of getting
done. If four-in-five support it, the chance of it
happening increases to 45%. As for the rest of
us, whether a policy change is supported by a
tiny minority or by an overwhelming majority,
it doesn’t really matter.
The authors concede the system itself has
an inherent bias towards the status quo. Of
those 1,779 issues they studied, policy changes
supported by a bare majority of the public
actually took place only 30% of the time. If
support grew to 80% among the public, the
chance of it happening increased only to 43%.
Many of us do get our way, but that’s not
because of participatory democracy as much
as the fact that our desires often align with
those of the more affluent. The authors call this
“democracy by coincidence, in which ordinary
citizens get what they want from government
only when they happen to agree with elites or
interest groups that are really calling the shots.
When push comes to shove, actual influence
matters.”
The two types of interest groups are
compared. The business-oriented groups are
twice as effective in influencing policy as the
people-oriented ones – mainly because there
are twice as many of them. The net positions of
populist interest groups have only a very slight
positive correlation with the preferences of
average Americans. For the business-related
groups, it’s a negative correlation – and they’re
the ones with the most influence over policy.
The authors remind that their study focused
on influence over matters up for decision. But
they point out that the same influence bias
applies in setting the agenda for what’s to be
considered in the future, and in “shaping”
the preferences of the average citizen. In any
case, “when a majority of citizens disagrees
with economic elites and/or with organized
interests, they generally lose.”
In other news this month, the NY Times
reports that corporate profits are at their
highest level in 85 years, while employee
compensation is at its lowest in 65 years.
The Supreme Court in its McCutcheon
decision gutted overall campaign spending
limits.
House Republicans killed President
Obama’s minimum wage proposal, which was
supported by 75% of Americans (but only 40%
of the wealthy).
Republican hopefuls for 2016 went to
Vegas to kiss the ring of casino magnate
Sheldon Adelson, and to New Hampshire for
the “Freedom Summit” thrown by the Koch
Brothers (whose combined worth just topped
$100 billion).
Professors Gilens and Page conclude by
warning, “if policymaking is dominated by
powerful business organizations and a small
number of affluent Americans, then America’s
claims to being a democratic society are
seriously threatened.”
Their study leads one to doubt whether
there’s still any “if ” about it.
RESTAURANTS SHOULDN’T
SERVE CHEAP SANDWICHES
So, we’ve been told that the ideal
business model – at least insofar as
employees are concerned – is embodied
in Costco and Zingerman’s Deli.
These are two companies to which
President Obama paid special tribute
on his minimum wage marketing tour.
Both pay their employees more than
the minimum wage so they are to be
applauded and emulated. But both are
actually perfect examples of why the
minimum wage shouldn’t be raised.
Let’s take Costco. By all accounts,
it’s a great place to work offering a great
environment an above-minimum-wage
scale. But for the national debate on
this issue, what’s missing is that they can
afford to do this. As reported by Michael
Saltsman of the Employment Policies
Institute, Costco charges its members an
annual fee and sells products at prices
which allow it to earn an average $10,000
profit per employee each year. Your
average casual dining restaurant, on
the other hand, earns roughly $2,000 in
profit per employee. That’s a 5 to 1 ratio,
allowing Costco to pay employees more
than a casual dining restaurant.
Perhaps that’s why President Obama
also referenced Zingerman’s Deli. If ever
there was a casual dining joint it’s a deli.
Casual or not, Zingerman’s sandwiches
run about $12 to $14. Most local
sandwich shops, McDonalds, Subways,
Burger Kings, etc. couldn’t charge ten
bucks for a sandwich to someone coming
off a diet. Raising the minimum wage
will not affect companies that are already
paying more than the minimum wage.
But raising the minimum will have a
tremendous effect on those businesses
which hire the least skilled workers and
sell lower priced items.
If you force these businesses to increase
their wages, they have three choices: A)
raise their prices – thus passing the
burden on to customers who probably
shop there because they can’t afford
the more expensive alternative – or B)
reduce the number of workers who have
to receive the new higher wage – thus
unemploying those who need an entry
level job the most – or C) a little of both.
The President is on a tear to raise
the minimum wage because he claims
to support the little guy, but his policy
prescription will hurt them most. Those
who can least afford to lose a job where
they’re learning job skills will be fired,
and all of them will pay more for the
products and services they purchase
from the businesses affected by the
minimum wage.
This isn’t complicated, but there is
something about the inequality between
those who earn a lot and those who don’t
earn much which blinds this president,
and most in his party, to the laws of
economics. They are willfully ignoring
the unintended, but very predictable,
consequences which will devastate the
very constituency they hope to help.
Beyond that blindness, there is also
GREG Welborn
unwillingness
to
really deal with the
primary cause of
income
inequality:
single-parent
families. It may have
taken some time for
statistical analysis to
prove what common
sense, and the good
Lord, told us, but the correlation between
economic inequality and single-parent
families is stronger than the correlation
of inequality with any other factor.
Consider some basic statistics. In
1960, 97% of whites, and 76% of blacks,
were born to married couples. Today,
those rates have dropped to 70% for
whites, 30% for blacks, and 50% for
Hispanics. On the economic side, it is
equally clear and devastating. Only 2%
of children raised in two-parent families
live in poverty long-term, while more
than 20% of the kids raised in singleparent homes live in poverty longterm. Numerous books and studies by
credentialed, respected academics –
from Susan Mayer to Charles Murray –
have chronicled the decline and causes of
income inequality and poverty. Today,
the causal relationship between singleparent homes and poverty is stronger
than that between smoking and cancer.
Lest I be accused of racism, because
I’m picking on the victims, who
happen to be overwhelmingly black
and Hispanic, please consider that
even Harvard University – a bastion of
Liberalism – produced a study showing
that communities with high percentages
of single-parent homes are less likely to
enjoy upward mobility.
As a conservative, I am a friend of the
poor and certainly more of a champion of
the poor than any Liberal in the modern
era. I say that because as a conservative I
care about outcomes, not just intentions.
I care about opportunity; I care about
mobility; I care about people having a
job – any job – in which they can have
opportunity and learn the skills they’ll
need to advance up the income scale. I
don’t care about how rich the rich are;
I care about how poor the poor are and
how long they have to stay there.
Liberals, like President Obama, claim
the greatest of intentions and many times
generate the most compassionate sound
bites, but they seem to care very little
about outcomes among the poor, the very
people they claim to champion. Rather
than making sure the poor can get a job
and work their way up the income ladder,
the Liberal solution to income inequality
boils down to telling restaurants to stop
serving cheap sandwiches. That won’t
help anyone.
