The Torrance City Council approved $100,000
in funding for the city’s 2015 Tournament of
Roses parade float during their September 16
meeting. Torrance’s entry in the parade honors
the memory of Louis Zamperini, an Olympic
athlete, war hero and mentor who lived much
of his life in Torrance.
Torrance has had a rose parade float for much
of the city’s existence: however, in the midst of
the most recent economic downturn, the Council
was put in the position of choosing between
funding the float and laying off employees. One
of the decision makers, former Council member
Bill Sutherland, attended the meeting to explain
why funding for the float was cut and why he
supports restoring it, at least for this year’s float.
“At that point it was either lay off some
employees or cut the funding [for the float].
We cut the funding,” said Sutherland. “This
year Louis Zamperini is being honored and
in Torrance we keep on saying how much
of a hero he is. Calling someone a hero is
easy, but it’s harder to put our money where
our mouth is and prove it. I think not having
a float this year would almost be hypocritical
for this city . . . [it’s as if] to say, ‘Louis, we
love you, you’re a great man, but for $80,000,
not so much.’”
In addition to having a city float in his honor,
Zamperini was also selected as grand marshal
of the parade before his death. Tournament of
Roses Association president Richard Chinen said
he was – and still is – the perfect representation
of the 2015 theme of inspiring stories.
“Louis was the embodiment of the theme,”
said Chinen. “Though he passed away less than
two months after he was announced as grand
marshal of the parade, there was never any
thought of replacing him. Though his physical
presence is no longer with us, his spirit and
inspiring story lives on.”
One citizen, Mark Stevenson, spoke up in
opposition to funding the float. While respectful
of Zamperini’s legacy, Stevenson objected to
funding a cultural event with tax dollars. He
suggested instead using those funds for charitable
activities the directly impact the needy, such
as providing support to the homeless.
While there is a lot of worthy causes for the
funding, Council member Mike Griffiths said the
opportunity to put Torrance on the world stage
for a day is well worth the expense. Beyond
honoring a Torrance hero Griffiths said because
the parade is popular worldwide it could lead
to an increase in tourism and perhaps more
international business investment in the city.
“The rose parade is something near and dear
to me,” said Griffiths. “I think the benefits this
provides to the city, a sense of community –
which I think is invaluable – and certainly
the global exposure this gives the city of
Torrance, is worth far more than the price we
are proposing to spend.”
Despite the six-figure cash infusion, Torrance
Rose Float Association president Roseanne
Villalobos said her organization is still doing
all it can to find sponsors and raise money.
The association is a recognized non-profit so
donations (not sales, such as buying a seat on
the float) are tax-deductable.
“We aren’t stopping here,” said Villalobos.
“We will continue fundraising for this float
until the end of the year and our final payment
is made.”
The Council also decided to allow chef
Michael Shafer to continue holding Saturday
concerts at his Buffalo Fire House restaurant in
downtown Torrance by modifying a conditional
use permit granted to him. The issue was
brought before the Council due to objections
from Steven Frame, who spoke on behalf of
an unspecified number of condo owners near
the restaurant. Frame views the concerts as an

Favorite Foods
By TerriAnn Ferren
Quick, what is your favorite food?
Think only about what you naturally crave
when you are really hungry. Don’t worry
about calories, price, or richness. Close
your eyes and think of that favorite food.
It might be a rich dessert or a yummy
main course only prepared on a special
occasion. What is your all-time favorite
thing to eat? That is the question I asked
most everyone I met for a week and I
got some really surprising answers. And
after listening to people’s responses I was
incredibly hungry.
What surprised me was that lots of
people thought their favorite food must be
everyone’s favorite food. Marianne Brooks
told me at a luncheon her favorite food is,
“Homemade Italian pasta. It reminds me
of home.” Sitting across from her, Jeanie
Sauder laughed and then said, “You are
going to think I am nuts. Cuz it’s just
something I am just into now. It isn’t
really a food – I love my Nutra Bullet! I
am in love with it.” Laughing, Marianne
said, “I don’t think you can record that!”
“It makes breakfast and lunch. It is
like a blender. I thought I was a good
eater before, but it has changed my life.
I am consuming far more fruits and vegetables and far less of this,” Jeannie said
pointing to her plate filled with barbecue
chicken. Doris Walker added her favorite

Gang Members Sentenced
For Drive-By-Shooting
On July 19, 2013, officers from the Torrance
Police Department responded to a shooting
that had just occurred at 1645 Arlington
Avenue in the City of Torrance. Upon arrival,
officers discovered the driver of the victim
vehicle had suffered a gunshot wound from an
unknown assailant in another vehicle that had
been following the victims from the area of
Carson Street and Western Avenue. The victim
was transported to a local hospital where he
was treated for a non-life-threatening injury.
Torrance Gang Detectives were able to
identify Carlos “Flaco” Hernandez, 27, of
Gardena as being the shooter, and Jesus
“Triste” Reyes, 21, of Torrance as being
the driver. Multiple charges of attempted
murder were filed against Hernandez and
Reyes. Hernandez took a plea for 37 years
in state prison and two strikes as a result of
gang enhancements. Reyes took a plea for
22 years in state prison and one strike as a
result of gang enhancements as well.

The Best In Baseball
By Adam Serrao
All of the attention in the sports world
has now obviously shifted over to football.
You can’t turn on SportsCenter or almost
any ESPN telecast without hearing about
Peyton Manning, the Seahawks defense, or
what Tom Brady and the Patriots may be
pan out, and as Pujols got older, Wilson
seemed to lose his intensity on the mound
and Hamilton just flat-out looked bad. That
very same roster, though, is the one that is
now tearing up the entire league. The team
that Dipoto put together and expected to
compete immediately has finally gained some
“How did the Angels become so good so quickly
and how is it basically going unnoticed?”
up to nowadays. While everyone’s fantasy
football applications are abuzz, however,
the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are
living in a fantasy world of their own. As
the best team in all of baseball, they have
quietly made their mark on the league and
have somehow gone under the radar as they
streak into the postseason while maintaining
a record that has been, on average, at least
five games better than any other team over
the past month or two. Last Friday, the team
acquired their best record of the entire season
after beating the Texas Rangers to put them
at 36 games above .500 and move 10 games
up on their foes, the Oakland Athletics, in
the American League West. How did the
Angels become so good so quickly and how
is it basically going unnoticed? Well, let’s
take a look.
All it takes is to think back to the 2011
offseason and notice how Angels General
Manager Jerry Dipoto thought that for a
few days he was in charge of the New York
Yankees. The long-term contracts given
out to both Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson
(formerly of the Texas Rangers) were deals
that were certainly thought to soon push the
Angels directly into the World Series and
into consistent contention for championship
rings. Well, that year didn’t work out so well
and the Angels missed the playoffs, forcing
Dipoto’s hand once again one year later. In
came Josh Hamilton and his five-year, $123
million contract. On paper, a roster laden
with stars like Pujols, Wilson and Hamilton
simply couldn’t get any better. It was almost
as if an All-Star team would be taking the
field for the Angels on a night-to-night basis.
That very same year, however, Pujols battled
through injuries while Wilson struggled with
an ERA in the high threes and Hamilton
fought mightily through inconsistency to
post what was the worst OPS (on base plus
slugging percentage) of his entire career.
The result was a 167-157 record over those
two years, as the Angels missed the playoffs
back-to-back times.
So far, that’s why the Angels have been
bad over the past two years. The talent
that Dipoto acquired just never seemed to
sort of chemistry and just keeps winning, at
a record pace even. Pujols is now batting
near the .275 mark with with over 25 home
runs on the season while C.J. Wilson has
won 11 games and Hamilton has added 10
home runs and over 40 RBIs in fairly limited
action this year. The answer to the Angels’
success, however, does not lie within those
three players. Actually, the numbers that they
are putting up are not worthy at all of the
contracts that they are receiving. Truth be
told, Pujols and Hamilton are basically shells
of what they used to be while Wilson has
his highest ERA in six years. The answer to
the Angels’ excellence this year lies within
their young, homegrown talent and a few
under-the-radar trades.
It all began in 2004 when the Angels
drafted Jered Weaver. Once a clear-cut ace
of the staff, Weaver, with 16 wins dating
back to last week, is still showing why he
is one of the best pitchers in the league this
year for the Angels. 2009 was an incredible
year in the draft for the Angels when they
selected Mike Trout and Garrett Richards as
a supplemental pick. A year earlier, in 2008,
they took Matt Shoemaker, who now seems to
be the team’s ace in place of a hurt Richards
who recently went down with a nasty knee
injury and will miss the rest of the season.
It certainly helps when your pitching staff
is getting the job done. Also dating back to
last week, the team had allowed three runs
or fewer in 27 out of its last 30 games. For
a team that leads the Major Leagues in runs
and sports one of the best young players ever
to grace the game with his presence (Mike
Trout), that is a pretty deadly statistic.
The Angels don’t just have a top-heavy team
laden with just a few stars that get the job
done. In fact, the “stars” may be the worst
players on the team. Almost every member
of the batting order has an OPS over 100,
making the team 22 percent better than the
league average in that category. From players
like Howie Kendrick and Kole Calhoun, who
came up through the team’s farm system, to
Chris Iannetta, Collin Cowgill and Huston
Street, who came via trade, everyone on

Defense Reigns
Supreme For Warriors
By Adam Serrao
They say that defense wins championships.
Sure, it could just be a saying, but it always
seems that the most successful teams have a
strong, stout defense. That is one thing that
the West High Warriors are hoping to bring
to the table this year, in addition to their
explosive offense headed by fourth year
senior Brett Ojiyi. Though he still showed
why he is one of the best running backs
around, Ojiyi didn’t have to do much work
in this one as he sat back and watched his
defense basically win the game. The Warriors rather easily took to their home field for
With the win, the Warriors move to 2-0
on the season and ready themselves for a
matchup with their old foes from the Bay
League, the Redondo Beach Sea Hawks.
Redondo has a 1-2 record on the season, but
is coming off of a win at Antelope Valley,
looking to get some momentum going against
a familiar rival. Follow your Warriors as they
look to keep their own winning streak alive
and remain undefeated this Friday night in
Redondo Beach at 7:00 pm.
South High
Things are looking up for a South High
team that this year, is out to prove a point.
“Sure, it could just be a saying, but it always
seems that the most successful teams
have a strong, stout defense.”
the first time this year last Friday night and
pulled off a 27-6 victory over the Inglewood
Sentinels to remain undefeated in this still
young season.
At the end of regulation, Inglewood was held
to just 15 yards passing on the entire night.
When you can make a team one-dimensional,
as the Warriors obviously did to the Sentinels,
chances are that you’re going to come out on
top in the end. “I like that we didn’t give up
big plays against a team with athletes that
you have to tackle well against,” West head
coach Greg Holt explained of his team. The
Warriors pass defense, spearheaded by Joey
Johnson who had two interceptions on the
night, was stout just like Holt liked it. That
being so, Inglewood was forced to the ground
where they found their only success of the
night. Near the end of the first quarter, the
Sentinels drove 79-yards in just under eight
minutes to attain their only score of the night
and make the score 17-9 going into halftime.
While Johnson led the way on defense for
the Warriors, it was Ojiyi who was up to his
usual tricks on offense for West High. A 52yard gallop set up an eight yard touchdown
run to get the scoring started in the third
quarter for West. He also took a 13-yarder
into the end zone in the second quarter to
help the Warriors gain their halftime lead. In
all, Ojiyi finished the night with 131 yards
on just 19 carries for two touchdowns. West
quarterback Trevor Mallett has been doing a
fine job for his team as well, finishing this
one going 10-for-21 with 102 yards passing
and one touchdown.
After back-to-back losing seasons, head coach
Joshua Waybright has his Spartans with their
eyes on the prize. With a 20-13 win over
Lawndale in week one, South remained
undefeated after a very impressive victory
over Calvary Chapel last Friday night in
Estancia. With 300 total yards on the ground,
the Spartans were in control the whole way
through as they cruised to a 61-28 victory
over the Eagles.
The Spartans wasted no time taking control
of the game. In the first quarter they rushed
out to a 14-0 lead and never looked back from
there. “To be honest it was a great team effort
in all three phases of the game,” Waybright
said. “It was just a total team effort. To go
an hour-and-a-half from home and get a
win is nice.” At the head of that team effort
was running back Vini Bjazevich. With three
rushing touchdowns and kickoff return for
another TD, Bjazevich was responsible for
24 points all by himself. As Waybright said,
however, the offense wasn’t the only thing
running smoothly. South’s defense intercepted
the ball four times on the night to hold their
opponent at bay, showing their coach and
fans that, this year, they have the ability to
be an all around team. Follow the Spartans
in their quest to remain undefeated as they
take on Rancho Dominquez this Friday night
on the road.
Torrance High
The Torrance Tartars recovered nicely from
a week one loss with a nice 35-20 win at
Morningside last Friday night. Tyree Harris

One Man’s Opinion
Another Man’s Opinion
By Gerry Chong
Come on Baby, make it hurt so good /
Sometimes love don’t feel like it should / You
make it hurt so good. -- John Mellencamp*
President Obama has said, “we are not at
war with Islam,” but isn’t Islam at war with
us? Should we act like a good masochist
and enjoy the pain? ISIS spokesman Abu
Mosa said, “I say to America that the Islamic
Caliphate has been established. And we will
not stop. Don’t be cowards and attack us
with drones. Instead, send your soldiers,
the ones we humiliated in Iraq. We will
humiliate them everywhere, God willing, and
we will raise the flag of Allah in the White
House.” To put exclamation points on their
view, ISIS beheaded two Americans so the
world could share our pain and humiliation.
The President weakly offered that he had
sent a Special Forces group to attempt a
rescue, but it failed. (Futility, thy name is
Obama). The New York Times revealed the
mission had failed because Obama stalled a
decision to proceed for a month, by which
time the rescue opportunity had been lost.
Ohhhhh, it hurts so good.
In a Foreign Ministers’ Conference on
September 7, Arab leaders expressed support
for efforts to contain ISIS, but none offered
any assets or military personnel to assist the
effort. That reluctance is understandable,
since the majority of Arab states contain
Sunni majorities, who also comprise the
majority of ISIS. News sources have noted
Arab cheerleading, but have asked if they will
fight Sunni extremists to protect their own
despotic regimes. So far, the answer is “no.”

For the past couple of weeks a Chipotle located
in State College, Pennsylvania, was temporarily
closed when the chain’s workers walked off the
job. The disgruntled employees announced their
refusal to continue working with a sign placed
on one of the restaurant’s windows that stated:
“Want to know why we are closed? Ask our
corporate offices why their employees are forced
to work in borderline sweatshop conditions.”
In addition it was reported that employees and
management staff stated that they felt neglected.
It is unclear how Chipotle, a fairly popular
chain restaurant, will address the claims of
“borderline sweatshop” conditions made by
the dissatisfied employees. What is evident is
that some American workers have not lost their
courage and willingness to stand up against
perceived injustices at work. Work unions are
part of our country’s history and they have
accomplished significant milestones in the
development of laws regarding labor and wages.
What is refreshing about this particular act of
civil disobedience is that it was management
and regular staff that said: we’re done.
There is no guarantee that the employees
will all come back; it is very uncertain if they
will be able to find employment elsewhere.
The great thing about this situation is that
Chipotle can opt to hire an entire new crew,
but if the conditions are that bad, how long
will it take before the new employees walk
away as well? If the conditions are a bad as
the frustrated workers claim then Chipotle
is forced to fix these issues. However, if the
Masochistic Reruns
Two years ago the President assured
us, “the tide of war is receding. We are
leaving behind a sovereign, stable and selfreliant Iraq. America’s war in Iraq is over.”
REALLY? To rub salt in our wounds, when
President Obama was busy drawing red lines
in the sand, daring Syrian president Assad
to cross, we gave weapons to the Syrian
rebels. The rebels subsequently split into
two parts. The larger segment became ISIS
and the smaller, weaker sister was named
the Free Syrian Army. ISIS commandeered
the majority of our weapons, so we have
armed the people who hate us.
Apparently, then, the President’s strategy
is comprised of several parts: First rely on
European allies who are more concerned
with Ukraine. Second, bomb ISIS in Iraq,
but not in its headquarters in Syria. Third,
arm the Free Syrian Army, the undersized
rebels who would act as our “boots on the
ground.” With a strategy like that, what
could go wrong?
As we have done in Libya, Iraq,
Afghanistan, Egypt, and Syria we have
fallen into a pattern of funding and arming
rebels who turn against us. The President
has already warned us that this conflict with
ISIS will be long and will be similar to the
strategies we have employed for the last six
years; so we’ve seen this movie so many
times it’s running on an endless loop, and
we know the ending. •

crew that walked out is lying, their claims and
actions will in the end cost them their jobs.
This walkout should at the very least bring
together employees and corporate leaders in
an attempt to address any grievances. Rather
than seeking a representative or an outside
group to speak on behalf of the employees, the
workers stood up and spoke for themselves.
I believe that corporate and the workers will
eventually have to meet via a mediator simply
because of the nature of the system.
Chipotle is known for providing benefits
such as access to health insurance, 401(k)
participation, and uniforms. Also, it is easy
to assume that any job opportunity in the
food service industry harder than it would be
easy. Any work environment can be tiring,
especially when one’s crew is understaffed. I
recall working at the Vons Deli and while it
was fun, it was also hard work. Yet, if these
Chipotle employees believe that the work was
too difficult and the conditions too harsh, they
have every right to complain and do what is
necessary to draw attention to the issue. It is
safe to say that with a location closed and no
money coming in, corporate will move a lot
faster to resolve the issue at hand.
Good luck to these unsatisfied workers.
Congratulations to them for standing up, for
walking out and shutting down production
to bring attention to what they know in their
hearts is an injustice. While many people
complain and nag, this group took action.
It would be great to see more American
workers do the same. •

“A hot dog because when I was a little girl,

But if I think about it further it is menudo.
I like it because it reminds me of your folks

know, but I like it. If I had to choose between them, I would choose menudo.” This
got my mom and dad talking about all the
favorite foods they love and all the special
moments it reminds them of in their lives.
My mom then told me she didn’t have fried
shrimp until one day when my dad asked
her out, before they were married, for fried
shrimp at a little Chinese restaurant on 47th

Well, that is interesting. Joanne is the first

Baseball from page 6
this Angels ballclub produces at an above
average pace for their position. One would
figure that it would only be a matter of time
before someone on the team bottomed out,
but for almost an entire year now all they’ve
done is continued to get better.
Oftentimes in sports, the best team at the
end of the regular season doesn’t come away
with all of the glory once the last game of
the year has been played. For that reason,
the Angels must keep all of their momentum
going deep into October if they want to have
any shot at winning a championship ring.
With the depth that they possess throughout
their lineup; the big names that mix in oh so
well with the lesser known ones, it becomes
increasingly obvious that it may just take a
miracle for any team to knock the Angels
out of contention. All of the big spending by
Dipoto and patience by the team’s players
and fans may be in the process of paying
off as we speak. This year’s Los Angeles
Angels team could be the best one that any
Angels fan has seen grace their hometown
field in the entire history of the franchise.
All that’s left to pay that sentiment off is a
2015 World Series championship ring. Will
they get it? •

continued to standout as one of the Tartars
most explosive players as he posted three
touchdowns on the ground for Torrance. Both
teams were gridlocked in the first quarter
at 14 points apiece before the Tartars broke
out in the second to take a 21-14 lead going
into the half. That’s when the Tartar defense
stepped things up and held Morningside
scoreless in the third while allowing only
six points in the fourth to take the eventual
15 point victory. Harris finished the game
with 107 yards on 21 carries. Torrance and
head coach Rock Hollis will look to keep
things going as they take on Palos Verdes
Peninsula this Friday afternoon.

North High
There’s not much to say about how good North
High has been to start the season. After opening
the year up with two impressive victories over the
Bay League’s Redondo Sea Hawks and Peninsula Panthers, respectively, the Saxons simply
annihilated Beverly Hills last Friday night at
Beverly Hills. The game was over from the start
and finished with a 48-0 North High victory.
Head coach Todd Croce’s team is certainly
looking forward to this week’s matchup though
when they face off against Nordhoff; the very
same team that knocked Croce and his Saxons
out of the CIF championship game by handing
them a 31-14 loss just two seasons ago. •

“The noise level and frequency of the
concerts infringes on the residents right of
quiet enjoyment of their property,” said Frame.
“The concerts constitute a nuisance due to
the frequency of loud noise levels. Both the
annoyed residents and I believe it will result
in significant property value degradation. [The
modification] is in my opinion illegal.”
However, Shafer sees the concerts as a way
to bring more people – and their purchasing
power – into the downtown area. Shafer
cited the urban renewal taking place in cities
like Pasadena, Orange and Santa Monica as
something he is trying to encourage by bringing
live music to the area.
“What I’m trying to do is get people to
recognize that we have a beautiful downtown
area,” said Shafer. Every other city has gone
through this resurgence . . . and we need to
do the same to keep Torrance vibrant.”
A few speakers supported Shafer’s intent
to continue holding concerts. One business
owner cited the concerts as driving business to
downtown businesses, while another speaker said
she enjoys the concerts, although she believes
they aren’t loud enough and end too early.

concerts to continues. Council member Geoff
Rizzo served on the Planning Commission
prior to his election to the Council, and said
the commission’s approval of the modified
conditional use permits reflects an attempt to
come to a compromise.
“There were residents that were not in favor
of these events, there were resident that were
in favor of these events, there were residents
that were in favor of limited the events. I think
that taking all those opinions into consideration
a reasonable compromise was reached,” said
Rizzo.
Lastly, the Council declared September 20 as
Coastal Clean Up Day to promote a volunteer
beach clean up happening that day at Torrance
Beach. Beach Clean Up Day is part of a
global effort to clean up waterways all over
the world and is one of the largest volunteer
efforts on the planet. This year in addition to
combing the sand for litter, volunteers can
also exchange 10 plastic bags for a reusable
shopping bag and have their young children
take part in a coloring activity. The clean up
starts at 9 a.m. at Mira Mar Park. Volunteers
must sign a waiver (minors will end a parents
permission) and are encouraged to bring their
own bucket and gloves to make the clean up
a “zero waste” effort. •

Pets Without Partners
Adopt a “pet without a partner” and give
a homeless pet a second chance in life.
Rumba is a darling apricot Poodle mix
who was found as a stray and had no form
of identification, so we were unable to locate
her owners. Rumba is around seven months
old and weighs eight pounds. She is very
sweet, loves to sit on your lap and slept on
the bed of the Good Samaritan who found
her without accidents. Rumba is a goodnatured dog, a little shy at first but comes
around pretty quickly. Rumba is current on
vaccinations, microchipped, fine with other
dogs, and would be best with children over
six years old.
Darling little Jelly weighs 3.6 pounds and
is about nine years old. Little Chihuahuas
are a dime a dozen in the shelter these days,
so senior Chihuahuas don’t stand a chance.
But she was a volunteer favorite, so we took
her!! Jelly was way too special to let her
slip by unrescued. Jelly is sweet, spunky,
funny and a total lovebug. She received a
good bill of health from our vet, was spayed
and got a dental. Jelly is a really nice little
girl, fun loving and good with all other dogs.
She is spayed, is current on vaccinations,
microchipped, is fine with other small dogs,
and children over 10 years old.
Mama Cass was pulled out of the Carson
Shelter two days after she birthed two little
puppies who we named Sticks and Dharma.
Mama is around four to six years old and
weighs five pounds. Mama Cass is a really
nice little girl and a good mom to her
puppies. She is sweet, friendly, gives lots
of kisses and has a very bright sparkling
Purrrfect Companions

personality. It’s hard not to fall in love with
her the instant you meet her. Mama Cass is
available for pre-adoption only at this time;
the earliest she can go home would be on
October 18 after her puppies are weaned. We can’t say enough good things about
this little girl with her lovely demeanor
and personality. At this time, Mama Cass
can be seen by appointment only with an
approved application. Mama Cass is current
on vaccinations, microchipped, fine with
other dogs, and good with children over six.
To learn more about these and other
wonderful dogs, visit our website at www.
animalsrule.org. If a dog is on our website,
it’s available. Come to our Saturday adoption
events from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. at 305 North
Harbor Blvd., San Pedro (just off the 110
near the cruise port). We are always in need
of donations for veterinarian bills and our
senior dogs. Donations can be made through
our website or by sending a check payable to:
Animals Rule Placement Foundation at 305
North Harbor Blvd., San Pedro, CA 90731. All donations are tax-deductible; we are a
registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization. •
Saving one animal
won’t change the
world, but the world
will surely change
for that animal.
Add a little love when you adopt your
purr-fect partner.
Queen Teuta of Illyria is a retired threelegged pirate cat who’s ready to make your
lap her new throne. Her first four years of
life will remain a mystery, but at some point
her ship ran aground on the fantastical isle of
Hollywood where she survived by her wits
alone. She seeks a warm lap for her throne,
delicious snacks to eat, and loving hands to
scratch her royal ears. She is a true queen
and as such does not like to mix with the
little cats of the world – though she might be
convinced to share her kingdom with the right
kind of subject, maybe even the canine kind.
Queen Teuta will shower you with affection if
you will share a place with her in your realm.
Baby was just too sweet to leave behind
adopter’s home sobbing for someone to come
rescue her. She is an extremely affectionate
kitten who loves being petted and held. In her
black and white ensemble, Sierra is happy to
entertain everyone with her outgoing personality
and playful antics. She’s a “biscuit maker”
and very gentle. Sierra will even sleep under
the covers with you and if it’s too hot, she’ll
curl up purring near your head. Would you
have a little extra room in your heart for a
great girl like her?

Baby gets along with everyone
and was rescued from East Valley shelter along
with her brother when they were just little
puppies. Since then, Baby has flourished in
foster care - growing into her interesting fur
and recently developing a distinctive white
Mohawk of fur on the very top of her head. Whatever mixture of dog she is, Baby is
100% sweetness! Baby does fantastically with
children, is a very confident, outgoing young
dog and gets along with other dogs and also
cats. Baby has been spayed, microchipped, up
to date on vaccines, dewormed, and flea treated.

Happy Tails
Jelly is a sweet and spunky senior Chihuahua.
Jetta found a new home with Lorraine and Walt.
Jetta found her home thanks to the El Segundo
Herald. Diane, a two-time adopter in El
Segundo, notified Lorraine and Walt that Jetta
was available at Animals Rule. And the rest
is history!
“We just wanted to let you know how well
Jetta is doing. Each day she is better than the
last. She has met several of our friends and
family without incident. The treats really help.
She has a bed by my husband’s chair and she’s
definitely a daddy’s girl. Thank you for the
copy of the doctor’s report and the pictures.
They’re better than any we’ve been able to
get. Thank everyone for all their hard work
in the making Jetta the incredible dog that
she is – Lorraine.”
When you adopt a “pet without a partner,” you
will forever make a difference in their life and
they are sure to make a difference in yours. •

Chic Storage Ideas to Corral Clutter
(BPT) - With the fall season comes cool
weather and more time indoors. Snuggling
up with blankets and partaking in activities
at home can create more clutter than usual
around the house. Instead of getting frustrated,
it’s easy to add stylish storage to corral extra
items. Get organized and keep your home
clutter-free with a few smart tips.
Neat reading racks
Many people enjoy a good read before
counting sheep. However, books, magazines
and tablets can just add disarray if left scattered around the bedroom. To combat this
type of clutter, add wall-mounted magazine
racks or crates to hold your reading pieces.
Paint a wooden crate using FrogTape MultiSurface painter’s tape. Add stripes in striking
colors for a reading rack that’s functional
and fabulous looking. FrogTape is the only
tape treated with PaintBlock Technology,
which forms a micro-barrier against paint
bleed, giving you sharp and precise paint
lines. Learn more at frogtape.com. After
drying, cut your crate down the middle you now have two spots for book storage.
Install simple wall-hanging brackets to the
edges of the crates and attach each to the
wall with drywall anchors for a sturdy and
safe finish. These are also great for stowing
away toys in a child’s playroom or towels
in the bathroom.
Boost bedroom storage
If every closet, nook and cranny in your
home is occupied, it’s time to
look toward other avenues for
order. Calm your chaos with
under-bed storage units by transforming old dresser drawers into
storage space. Paint the drawers
in the color of your choice and
drill casters to the bottom for
easy rolling access. Slide them
under your bed and you can now
neatly put away items that were
once a nuisance.
Multipurpose
seating
Chic ottomans and cushioned
benches are great pieces that
provide extra seating in family
rooms. But in addition to their
pleasant outward appearance,
many contain hidden storage
underneath the lid. Neatly stow
away movies, games, blankets
and pillows that would otherwise
crowd this high-traffic area. Position the furniture as an accent
piece or place a lengthy bench
along a window for a cozy reading nook, while simultaneously
increasing your storage.
Cozy staircase storage
The space under stairs is often overlooked
as a storage spot, since it’s usually closed off
with drywall. What most homeowners don’t
realize is this tricky triangle is typically hollow, and the “wasted” space can be utilized
to store your family’s odds and ends. For
extra functionality, transform it into a closet
if you’re a DIY weekend warrior. All you’ll
need is a couple of days and these steps:
• First, frame the door opening for your
new closet. Use a drywall saw to create the
outline that fits the pre-hung door of your
choice. Secure the hinged side to the frame
and use wood shims (thin pieces of wood
that will properly align the door) to ensure
it’s a secure fit within the opening.
• Next, you’ll need to create the closet
walls inside. Measure the area of the closet
and cut sheets of plywood or drywall to those
dimensions (depending on how “finished”
you’d like the final space to look). Paint
the plywood in the color of your choice and
install it by nailing it to the existing studs.
Just keep in mind that drywall will require
a few extra steps, like taping, mudding and
sanding before it’s ready to paint.
• Now, determine what size storage containers and hooks the space will allow and
create shelves and cubbies. Using a nail gun,
install ledger strips around the entire closet
to support the shelves, making sure they’re
level. Secure with screws and install your
painted shelves for a cozy - and contained
- storage solution.
If the construction of this project seems
a bit too ambitious, reach out to a trusted
contractor to handle the building components.
You can tackle the most fun part - painting!
Whether you have limited storage or are
simply looking for ways to bring order to
your home, now is the time to reorganize.
With these suggestions, you’ll achieve a
modernized and tidy living space, in no
time at all. •
