MASKS REQUIRED - LA COUNTY 
ISSUES NEW HEALTH ORDER 
With the increase in new COVID-19 cases, the LA County Health Depart-
ment has reinstated strict mask wearking guidelines. 
Your mask should fit snugly over your nose and mouth and be made of at 
least two layers so that they filter well. If you are in a setting where you are in 
sustained close contact with other people who may not be fully vaccinated, 
consider “double masking” (wearing a cloth face mask over surgical mask) or 
a respirator (e.g., N95 or KN95). These offer a higher level of protec-tion. This 
is especially important if you are not fully vaccinated and are indoors or in a 
crowded outdoor place. Masks are now required in all indoor public settings, 
venues, gatherings, and pub-lic and private businesses in Los Angeles County. 
Additional Public Health Reducing Risk Guidance tips can be found on 
page 8. See the Health Officer Order and Best Practices for Businesses web-
page for details of workplace requirements. Learn more about masks at http:// 
ph.lacounty.gov/masks. 
SIERRA MADRE GIRLS 
SOFTBALL ALL STARS EARN BRONZE 
MEDALS AT USA 
SOFTBALL JUNIOR OLYMPICS 
Last Sunday, the Sierra Madre Girls Softball Association 10U all-
stars, who named themselves “Madre Mayhem” completed an excit-
ing appearance at the USA Softball Junior Olympics, in Santee, CA.
They continued to defeat opponents heart and skill all the way to the 
semi-finals game against Alpine, CA.
Competition was highlighted by fierce catching by Emily Cash 
and clutch grabs in center field by Saija Baldrica. While it ultimately 
wasn’t their day and Alpine won the game, Mayhem finished 3rd 
place overall and went home with bronze Junior Olympic medals to 
cap off an incredible journey this Summer!

SM PONY WORLD SERIES RECAP 
The SM Pony 13 year olds completed a dominant, unprecedented 
playoff run last Sunday in Modesto, CA. There in World Series play, 
they were matched twice against the historic team from Maryland, 
who they proceeded to upset twice thanks to excellent pitching byBradley Loiacono, Aiden Mahoney, Tyler Charvat, and Santiago 
Garza. Dylan Hoang and Zeke Rodriquez lead the offense with time-
ly hitting. 
Just like the Softball girls their state tournament, Sierra Madre met 
their match in the semifinals and placed 3rd overall. In this case that 
means 3rd in the World. 
Team manager Anthony Loiacono shared “the boys were pretty 
upset to not go ahead and take it all, but we were up against some 
amazing teams and they will look back and realize what this meant. 
I am really proud of these guys, and they should be as well.” Coach 
Tommy Sullivan added “those teams started to realize how many 
great hitters we have in this group, and they played way back against 
the fence on us. Next year these boys will be 14 and there will be no 
way to contain them. We can’t wait to welcome the new talent com-
ing up from Little League and to make another run in 2022!” 
Sierra Madre Pony thanks its playoff sponsors, who have helped to 
cover family travel costs. These generous locals include Sierra Fit-
ness, the Shabby Dog, Kiwanis, Ixora Floral Design, The Savarese 
Law Firm, and Andy Bencosme’s Century 21.
FALL BALL REGISTRATION is now open as well. All 13 and 14 
year olds are welcome (boys and girls). Space is limited! Google: 
Sierra Madre Pony Colt League 
COUNCIL CHAMBER FILLS WITH 
RESIDENTS CONCERNED ABOUT 
THE MEADOWS AT BAILEY CANYON 
PROJECT 
The Sierra Madre City Council had a full agenda Tuesday evening. 
The agenda included adoption of the 2020 Urban Water Management 
Plan, an update on the Sierra Madre Hazard Reduction and Habitat 
Restoration Project, the Sierra Madre Library's Annual Report, and 
updates on the 2021 Housing Element and The Meadows at BaileyCanyon (Monastery) Project. 
The majority of the public that was in attendance however, were most 
concerned about 'The Meadows' project status. 
Mayor Rachelle Arizmendi, aware of the mounting public concern 
about the Monastery allowed for most of the 4 hour meeting to be al-
located to the presentation concerning the process involved for both 
the project and the Housing Element as on the surface the two appear 
to be related. They are not. By law, city must adhere to the process as 
prescribed before any decision can be made on either. 
City Attorney Aleks R. Giragosian, Planning and Development Direc-
tor Vincent Gonzales, presented thorough presentations explaining 
the process by which both items would proceed before any decision 
would be made. A graph of timeline for the Monastery Project can be 
found on page 2. 
On Monday, prior to the meeting, the city placed on its website for 
public review the complete SPECIFIC PLAN for the project. The plan 
contains information on the developers intentions regarding land 
use, infrastructure and design guidelines (partial listing). 
In addition, the City has published the Notice of Availability of the 
Draft Environmental Impact Report (Page 2) for the project. 
Several residents however, were more concerned about legislation be-
fore the California Senate Bills SB 9 and SB 10 that would in essence, 
eliminate local authority to zone areas as single family (R1), only.
