Veterans 
Day, 
Reminders 
Closures

 Officials of the zany Doo Dah 
Parade announced Wednesday 
this year’s pick, Scott and Lori 
Webster, as Grand Marshals of 
the 39th parade. The Webster 
family has been local retailers 
since the early 1920s, founding 
Webster’s of Altadena, a multi-
department store that that 
served local consumers for 87 
years. 

 Lori Webster has specialized 
in promoting ecologically 
responsible and fair trade 
products and the creative 
works of local artisans one of 
the reasons .

 Having to compete with 
national chains in a struggling 
economy, Scott and Lori 
proudly espoused the “shop 
local movement” in support 
of small business owners and 
better neighborhood relations. 
Overcoming many odds, they 
continued the Webster legacy 
with Hoopla! Emporium, 
an eclectic neighborhood 
boutique that sources most 
of their products locally 
and fulfills their vision of 
supporting community artists.

 Scott and Lori’s commitment 
to their community doesn’t 
end with local consumers and 
opportunities for artisans. 
They have an active interest 
in youth and education and 
have volunteered their help 
and mentorship to many 
community-based efforts. In 
fact, Scott is an alumni of John 
Muir High School, located 
not very far from Hoopla! 
Emporium.

 The Pasadena Doo Dah Parade 
is proud to have the Websters 
lead the legendary event which 
will roll into East Pasadena 
on Sunday, November 20th 
at 11:00am. “They are truly 
remarkable people who are 
independent of spirit and 
perfectly well represent Doo 
Dah’s homegrown nature and 
sense of comraderie,” says Tom 
Coston, President of Light 
Bringer Project, the nonprofit 
who operates the Parade.

and the new Grand Marshal,

Olympians,Roses Parade Grand Marshals

 Olympians, Janet Evans, 
Allyson Felix, and Greg 
Louganis were announced 
Thursday as the 2017 
Tournament of Roses Co 
Grand Marshals. Evans, Felix 
and Louganis will ride in the 
128th Rose Parade, themed 
“Echoes of Success.” The three 
Olympic legends and Southern 
California natives represent 
the Los Angeles 2024 Olympic 
and Paralympic bid committee 
working to bring the games 
back to Los Angeles in 2024.

 Tournament of Roses President 
Brad Ratliff revealed the 2017 
Grand Marshals, during a 
quick ceremony, in front of 
Tournament House. Ratliff said 
Felix, 30, is the youngest Grand 
Marshal since childhood 
actress Shirley Temple held the 
honor in 1939.

 “We each have those 
individuals that have made an 
impact on our lives,” Ratliff said. 
“This year’s theme, ‘Echoes 
of Success’ is a salute to those 
individuals. The impact that 
our three Grand Marshals have 
had on so many, both through 
their achievements and voices, 
truly is representative of our 
theme. The values exhibited 
by our Olympians and the 
richness in their backgrounds 
has given so many others the 
support, encouragement and 
drive to succeed, 
and we want to celebrate all 
that they have given.”

 The 2017 parade theme, 
“Echoes of Success,” tells the 
story of how our character has 
developed through the selfless 
contributions of others and 
celebrates their inspirational 
gifts. It is a celebration for 
those people, institutions and 
organizations that help in the 
success of others.

 “On behalf of LA 2024, we’re 
thrilled that three of Southern 
California’s greatest Olympians 
will lead the world-famous 
Rose Parade and share our 
city’s Olympic passion with 
viewers across the globe,” said 
LA 2024 Chairman Casey 
Wasserman. “Every New Year, 
the Tournament of Roses 
celebrates Southern California’s 
innovation, creativity and 
excitement for the future; 
and LA 2024 will harness this 
optimistic Angeleno spirit to 
invite the world to ‘Follow 
the Sun’ to the City of Angels 
for the 2024 Olympic and 
Paralympic Games.”

 This year’s Rose Parade and 
Rose Bowl game will be held 
Monday, January 2, 2017.

 Janet Evans is a five-time 
Olympic medalist who 
has broken seven world 
records, she is widely 
considered to be the greatest 
female distance

Change Clocks, Change 
Smoke Alarm Batteries

 The Pasadena Fire Department 
reminds anyone to change all of 
the batteries in smoke alarms 
when you change your clocks 
back one hour on Sunday.

 Handy tips and reminders to 
consider:

 Change Your Smoke Alarm 
Batteries! Replace old 
batteries with fresh, high 
quality batteries to keep your 
smoke alarms ready to protect 
you all year. Make sure your 
emergency flashlights work 
when you need them by using 
fresh high-quality batteries too. 

 Check Your Smoke Alarms! 
After inserting fresh batteries 
in your smoke alarm, make 
sure the alarm is working 
by activating the safety test 
button. The Fire Department 
recommends that you test 
all of your smoke alarms at 
least once each month. If you 
have any doubt regarding the 
working condition of a smoke 
alarm, replace it. It is also 
recommended that you replace 
the smoke alarms themselves at 
least every 10 years.

 Count Your Smoke Alarms! 
A properly functioning smoke 
alarm should be placed in 
every sleeping room and in 
the hallway directly adjacent to 
those rooms. If sleeping rooms 
are on an upper level, a smoke 
alarm should be installed in the 
center of the ceiling directly 
above the interior stairway. 

 Clean Your Smoke Alarms! 
Gently use a vacuum cleaner 
once a month to remove dust 
and cobwebs. If your smoke 
alarms have been accidentally 
painted or contaminated, 
replace them. 

 The Fire Department 
encourages you to practice your 
escape plans with your children 
because they are at increased 
risk of dying in a home fire since 
they often become scared and 
confused when a fire erupts. 
Make sure your children 
recognize the sound of your 
home’s Smoke Alarm and teach 
them to respond instinctively 
to its signal. Create at least two 
different escape routes from 
every room and practice them 
with the entire family. 

 For further information 
regarding the fire prevention 
call (626) 744-4655.
