TRAFFIC MISHAP SHUTS DOWN SIERRA MADRE'S 
ICONIC 'BEANTOWN'


The usual tranquility of a sunny Monday morning in Sierra Madre was disrupted by an unfortunate traffic accident that caused the 
complete shut down of Beantown on N. Baldwin in Sierra Madre. Although the damage to the building and the business was extensive, 
fortunately no one was injured and no traffic citations were issued. A total of 3 vehicles were involved.

 The popular eatery will be closed for an indefinite time. In the meantime, residents have started a Go Fund Me page for the establishment 
which was already reeling from the effects of COVID-19 and the restrictions of Take Out or outside dining only. If you'd like

PRISCILLA HERNANDEZ 

Local Non-Profit Executive 
and State Education 
Leader Priscilla Hernandez 
announced her candidacy 
for the Pasadena Unified 
School District Board in 
Trustee Area 6.

“I am seeking to represent 
the people of Pasadena 
and Sierra Madre on the 
School Board because our 
schools need experienced 
leaders who can successfully 
address the unprecedented 
educational challenges 
caused by Covid-19,” said 
Hernandez.

“As an Executive with a successful Non-Profit Organization 
and a former Statewide Campaign Deputy Coalition Director 
for Education, I have the skills to maintain the District’s focus 
on academic excellence while identifying innovative methods 
for promoting student learning,” stated Hernandez. “The road 
ahead for our schools will be challenging, but we can succeed 
by putting the needs of our students first. Working together 
we must provide a learning environment that is stable, safe, 
inclusive and equitable.”

TINA WU FREDERICKS 

Tina Wu Fredericks, a mother of two 
PUSD students and software engineer, has 
qualified for candidacy for Pasadena Unified 
School Board of Education, District 
6 that includes East Pasadena and Sierra 
Madre. She is also a community and political 
activist and former classroom teacher. 
As a credentialed teacher, she has taught 
elementary, middle, and high school. “I am 
passionate about education and want to see 
our schools succeed as a whole. I will fight 
for smaller class sizes, more teachers, ensure 
there is a librarian, nurse, custodian, 
and counselor in each school, and work to 
have the highest safety standards for reopening 
schools.” 



Tina has been preparing to run and speaking to voters for the past year. “Like 
many constituents in the district, I am a product of public schools. Public 
schools are foundational to a democracy. I was heartened to learn from parents 
who have grown children or kids in private school that many of them strongly 
believe in public schools. Tina Wu Fredericks believes that the COVID-19 crisis 
is an opportunity to reimagine education. “The only way we can start getting 
more funding for schools is by expecting more, because our kids are worth 
it.” She is an advocate and coalition-builder in the community who will use her 
political advocacy experience to get the funding needed. For more information
