 The Foothill Workforce 
Development Board 
(FWDB) met Thursday in 
celebration of the retirement 
of its Executive Director, 
Phillip Dunn, who will be 
stepping down at year’s end 
after 33 years of service, the 
last 25 as the organization’s 
Executive Director.

 Under Dunn’s leadership, 
FWDB has acquired millions 
of dollars in workforce 
development funds to help 
local job seekers find gainful 
employment and has assisted 
hundreds of employers 
find qualified employees, 
helping to sustain and grow 
the regional economy and 
especially the six cities 
served by the FWDB.

 “I have had the pleasure of 
serving with Phillip on this 
Board for over twenty years. 
Phillip’s professionalism, 
knowledge and expertise 
have guided the organization 
through many successful 
years of getting people jobs, 
supporting our youth, and 
driving one of the most 
successful work programs 
for emancipated foster youth 
in the nation. Phillip will be 
missed!” said Tony Tartaglia, 
Chair of the Foothill 
Workforce Development 
Board and Regional Affairs 
Manager for Southern 
California Gas Company.

 Robert Joe, who chairs the 
Foothill Policy Board of 
Elected Officials from six 
cities and a South Pasadena 
City Councilmember said 
“Phil Dunn truly believes 
that the FWDB can make 
a difference and does make 
a difference in the everyday 
lives of many members of 
our community.”

 The Foothill Workforce 
Development Board is a 
federally -unded entity 
that provides services for 
job seekers and employers 
for a consortium of six 
cities: Arcadia, Duarte, 
Monrovia, Pasadena, 
Sierra Madre, and South 
Pasadena. FWDB is one of 
seven workforce boards in 
Los Angeles County and 
has been designated as a 
“High Performing Board” 
by the California Workforce 
Development Board and 
California Governor Jerry 
Brown.

 In addition to Dunn’s 
retirement, Steve Chase, 
FWDB planning manager, 
is also retiring. Chase has 
served in this capacity for 
over 25 years and both staff 
members will be greatly 
missed. 

 FWDB Chair Tartaglia

Russell-Carter has been 
named as the FWDB Interim 
Director.

Penn State to Play USC in 
the 2017 Rose Bowl Game

Free Events Roundup at the 
Pasadena Senior Center

 


 The No. 5 CFP-ranked 
Penn State Nittany Lions, 
Champion of the Big Ten 
Conference, and the No. 9 
CFP-ranked USC Trojans, 
have earned berths to play 
in the Rose Bowl Game 
presented by Northwestern 
Mutual at 1 p.m. PT (4 
p.m. ET), Monday, January 
2, 2017, at the Rose Bowl 
Stadium.

 “The Tournament of Roses 
is thrilled to host Penn State 
and USC at this year’s Rose 
Bowl Game,” said Rose Bowl 
Management Committee 
chairperson Scott Jenkins. 
“The CFP Selection 
Committee had a tough 
decision to make today but 
we applaud their rankings 
and we look forward to an 
exciting matchup between 
the Nittany Lions and the 
Trojans on January 2. We 
are excited to welcome the 
teams and the fans from both 
schools to the Granddaddy 
of Them All.”

 Penn State and USC have 
met twice in the Rose Bowl 
Game, including both of 
their most appearances in 
2009. In that game, the No. 
5 Trojans defeated the No. 6 
Nittany Lions, 38-24, behind 
a four touchdown and 413-
yard performance from 
USC’s Mark Sanchez. The 
only other meeting between 
these two teams was back in 
1923, the first game played 
at the Rose Bowl Stadium. 
USC also won that meeting, 
14-3, but it is known because 
the game started 50 minutes 
late because PSU was stuck 
in traffic.

 Penn State won its fourth 
Big Ten Championship after 
a comeback victory over 
Wisconsin, 38-31, to finish 
the season 11-2 overall and 
8-1 in conference play. The 
Nittany Lions will make 
their fourth appearance in 
the Rose Bowl Game, with 
their last appearance in the 
Granddaddy of the All in 
2009. Their overall record in 
the Rose Bowl Game is 1-2, 
with their lone victory in 
the 1995 Rose Bowl Game 
against the University of 
Oregon.

 USC finished the season 
9-3 overall record and a 
7-2 mark in conference. 
The Trojans will make their 
33rd Rose Bowl Game 
appearance on January 2, 
the most appearance by any 
school in history. Their last 
appearance in the game was 
in 2009 against Penn State 
and finished a stretch during 
which the Trojans played 
in four straight Rose Bowl 
Games and five in six years. 
They hold a 24-8 overall 
record in their Rose Bowl 
Game appearances.

 Pre-game festivities on 
January 2, will begin at 1 
p.m. PT (4 p.m. ET). The 
game will be televised 
nationally on ESPN.

Tickets will be available 
online at www.ticketmaster.

Ticketmaster at 1-800-653-
8000.

 In addition to the

Pet of the 
Week

 
Harvey (A408713) is a 
7-month-old, male, brown 
tabby cat who has made 
it his mission to make 
everyone in the world fall 
in love with him! He rushes 
to the front of his kennel to 
greet you with a head bump 
before settling down for all 
of the petting and head rubs 
he can get. Our volunteers 
report that he’ll even knead 
your arm and roll over for 
stomach rubs to show how 
much he likes you! Harvey 
is still a playful kitten, so he 
would love a forever home 
with plenty of time to both 
play and cuddle with him.

 The adoption fee for cats 
is $70, which includes the 
spay or neuter surgery, 
microchip, and vaccinations

 New adopters will receive a 
complimentary health-and-
wellness exam from VCA 
Animal Hospitals, as well 
as a goody bag filled with 
information about how to 
care for your pet.

 Call the Pasadena Humane 
Society & SPCA at (626)
