Altadena Sheriff News Briefs 

 Deputy Andrew Banos of 
Altadena Sheriff’s Station was 
given an award by Pasadena 
Wisdom Lodge for his hard 
work and dedication to the 
people of Altadena. Andrew 
has also served his nation 
for several years with the 
United States Marine Corps 
before joining the Sheriff’s 
Department. We are proud to 
have him here and if you see 
him on patrol, be sure to wave.

 Honored by Wisdom Lodge 
Number 202 at the recognition 
event held at the Pasadena 
Masonic Center were Pasadena 
Police Officers Brendan 
Thebeau and Clinton Harrell; 
Pasadena Fire Department 
staffer Christine Ferguson, and 
Deputy Andrew Banos of the 
Altadena Sheriff’s substation.

 All four honorees received the 
prestigious “Service Beyond 
the Call of Duty Award” from 
the Masonic lodge.

Lodge Master Mark 
Berasley said the California 
Freemasonry asks lodges each 
September to host programs 
acknowledging the United 
States Constitution. Members 
of the Masonic lodge support 
the belief that citizens should 
recognize the United States 
Constitution as the document 
that carries the ideals that 
founded the country, and 
should pause to remember 
all the great men and women 
who have stood for, defended, 
and fought to maintain those 
ideals in their truest form. 
Recognizing individuals in 
public safety that provided 
“service beyond the call of duty” 
furthers this commemoration.

 “In our case, we recognized 
three local first responder 
departments,” said Berasley.

 Wednesday night’s awards 
ceremony was the Wisdom 
Lodge’s 16th year of 
recognizing exceptional public 
servants during their annual 
Observance of the United 
States Constitution.

 Deputy Andrew 
Banos Honored

 
Dog rescued off cliff 
in Las Flores Canyon

 Last week, Altadena Mountain 
Rescue Team was called for a 
dog stranded on a cliff, and the 
dog owner attempting to save 
the dog. The hiker and dog were 
in Las Flores Canyon near the 
water tank, Sept. 15 at 12:14, 
above Altadena in the Angeles 
National Forest. The dog, 
Maya was on a leash but saw 
something on the trail which 
she lunged at, causing her to 
fall off the side of the mountain. 
Her owner attempted to reach 
Maya, but the hillside crumbled 
away, and after a few attempts 
she called Altadena Sheriff’s 
station for help.

 Rescue team members were 
directed to the last known 
location of the dog and 
after hiking into the canyon 
bottom, the dog was located 
approximately halfway down 
a 100 foot cliff. A rescuer was 
lowered from the top of the 
canyon, Maya was on a tiny 
outcropping, no bigger than 
a few inches. As we reached 
Maya, half the ledge she was 
standing fell away as we were 
trying to tie ropes to her. Our 
rescuer eventually secured the 
dog in a harness and safely 
lowered Maya to the canyon 
bottom. Maya a 9 month old 
female Husky mix appeared 
uninjured, and she was 
returned to them very grateful 
owner, 45 y/o female resident 
of Altadena.
