Statements on the Passing 

of Senator Dianne Feinstein

Five Acres Celebrates its 
35th Annual Golf Classic 
‘Homecoming Tailgate’

Rep. Judy Chu released the 
following statement:

 “Senator Feinstein was 
a trailblazer, a proud 
Californian, and a relentless 
legislative titan. From 
banning assault weapons 
to protecting reproductive 
freedom to uncovering 
human rights abuses by our 
own government, her legacy 
is unmatched and her firsts 
too many to enumerate. 
Her career inspired me and 
countless other women in 
California and across the 
country to serve in public 
office and take others 
through the doorway with 
us. My deepest condolences 
go to her family and her 
beloved San Francisco.

“May her memory be a 
blessing.”

Rep. Adam Schiff released 
the following statement.

 “Today, the nation has 
truly lost a giant of the U.S. 
Senate, California has lost 
its trail-blazing leader, and I 
lost a real friend and mentor. 
Senator Dianne Feinstein was 
one of the finest legislators 
we have ever seen, and her 
accomplishments made our 
country and world a better 
place.

 “The Senator’s legacy is 
unmatched.

 “Senator Feinstein single-
handedly pushed an assault 
weapons ban over the finish 
line, and never gave up her 
fight to end gun violence. 
She fought powerful agencies 
to investigate and uncover 
torture – and made sure 
it would never happen 
again. She helped protect 
California’s natural beauty 
and preserve its lands for 
generations. And she always 
fought for LGBTQ rights and 
women’s equality throughout 
her career.

 “My thoughts are with 
Senator Feinstein’s friends, 
family, and staff at this time, 
and my heart goes out to 
them. California and all its 
citizens are truly indebted to 
the Senator and her family 
for her decades of service. 
We are all better off for her 
dogged pursuit of policies 
that made our country a 
better union.”

Los Angeles County 
Supervisor Kathryn Barger 
released the following 
statement:

 “Dianne Feinstein was a 
powerhouse if I ever met 
one. Her depth of knowledge 
was incomparable, she 
understood the complexities 
of every issue. 

 I had the honor of receiving 
her endorsement when I first 
ran for L.A. County Fifth 
District Supervisor in 2016.

 Our paths initially 
crossed when our county’s 
Department of Health 
Services was on the brink 
of collapsing. She was 
instrumental in working with 
the Clinton Administration 
to obtain a waiver for Los 
Angeles County so that we 
could direct dollars from our 
public hospitals to outpatient 
care. That was a game 
changer – not only for our 
county, but for the healthcare 
industry in general.

 She will be greatly missed. 
Senator Feinstein was always 
a class act.”

Parks & Public Works

Annual Tree Maintenance with Mariposa Landscaping

 Earlier this week, Mariposa Landscaping completed the 
removal of 19 dead trees in the public right-of-way that were 
approved for removal by the City Council earlier this month. 
This work is part of the City’s Multi-Year Tree Maintenance 
and Planting contract. The City seeks to balance public 
safety with preservation of the City’s urban forest, and only 
removes trees when the tree is no longer viable and there 
is no other option except removal. Additionally, Mariposa 
will begin their annual grid pruning of City-owned street 
trees on October 9th, in the portion of the City from Lacy 
Park north to City limits and east to Sierra Madre Boulevard 
(see map for details). This annual tree trimming will ensure 
resident safety and preserve the City’s aesthetic beauty.

Fire Department Recent Happenings

On Wednesday, September 26 the San Marino Fire 
Department provided an In-Service, fire life safety training 
for the staff of Huntington Middle School. The training 
included bleeding control, use of tourniquets, automatic 
external defibrillators, CPR and live fire training. The Fire 
Department previously provided training to Carver staff on 
September 12. Training for Valentine and San Marino High 
School staff is scheduled for October.

Meetings 

Design Review Committee Meeting

Wednesday, October 4 at 6:00 PM; Barth Room and Zoom.

 
Five Acres 35th Annual Golf 
Classic: “Homecoming Tailgate” 
led by Co-chairs Danny Reaume 
and Joey Reaume was held 
September 18. The collegiate-
themed golf tournament was 
followed by an auction and 
dinner that all took place at the 
San Gabriel Country Club.

 Five Acres Board Chair Sue 
McGuirl welcomed guests at 
dinner, and introduced the 
Reaume brothers. “These men 
dedicate their time, energy, and 
resources to Five Acres when 
they are already busy with their 
own work and ever-growing 
families. Danny and Joey, we’re 
thankful for your involvement 
and for helping Five Acres care 
for other families and children 
in our community.

 With 106 golfers and 150 
guests in attendance, golfers 
had a chance to enjoy on-course 
activations like Don Francisco’s 
carajillo station and tailgate 
food items, with games of corn 
hole to take a break during the 
daytime tournament. Guests, 
on the other hand, could bid 
on activities such as a duck 
hunting trip, a Cabo vacation, 
a Mammoth trip, and a paella 
dinner and cocktail-sipping 
experience. 

 Some notable moments of the 
event’s program consisted of a 
cocktail hour in the evening, 
an awards ceremony, DJ, tasty 
libations, and an opportunity 
drawing that featured a bar 
cart with an assortment of 20 
wines and spirits, including 
a Don Francisco’s gift basket. 
Inspired by a tailgate barbecue, 
guests feasted on a combination 
plate of pepper-crusted tri-tip 
with Burbon demi glaze and 
blackened salmon with mango 
salsa served on a cedar plank, 
accompanied with roasted 
fingerling potatoes, seasonal 
vegetables, gourmet breads and 
butter, and a dessert station with 
churros, brownies and lemon 
bars.

 Many guests wore high school 
letterman jackets or college 
football team logos to represent 
the school spirit theme, making 
unexpected connections with 
other attendees.

Pasadena Symphony 
Kicks off 2023-24 Season

Rose Bowl Game Tickets 
are Now Available Online

 The Pasadena Symphony 
opens its 96th season on 
Saturday, October 21 at 
Ambassador Auditorium 
with both matinee and 
evening performances at 
2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. The 
six-concert series of Classical 
Music’s Greatest Hits, will 
open with Tchaikovsky’s fate-
filled Symphony No. 4. Highly 
sought-after conductor Brett 
Mitchell returns to kick off 
the 2023-24 season as one 
of six Artistic Partners to 
take the podium this season 
for the orchestra’s Music 
Director search.

 Pasadena’s most anticipated 
opening night of the concert 
season will showcase the fresh 
talent of Armenian Violinist 
Diana Adamyan (pictured) 
on Mendelssohn’s Violin 
Concerto. First Prize winner 
of the 2018 Yehudi Menuhin 
International Competition 
and the 2020 Khachaturian 
Violin Competition, 
Adamyan has been deemed 
“one of the new generation’s 
most promising and gifted 
young concert soloists” by 
The Violin Channel.

 The 23/24 season ushers 
in the Pasadena Symphony’s 
fourth annual Composer’s 
Showcase, featuring work 
by emerging and established 
living composers. The 
Kennedy Center’s first 
composer-in-residence, 
Mason Bates’ Garages of the 
Valley will open the program, 
taking inspiration from the 
great inventors of our time 
who dreamed up the digital 
age in the most low-tech of 
spaces dotting the landscape 
of Silicon Valley. The magical 
intersection between music 
and technology is a central 
theme of Bates’ work, 
including his GRAMMY-
winning opera The (R)
evolution of Steve Jobs.

 The Pasadena Symphony 
provides a vibrant experience 
specially designed for the 
music lover, the social 
butterfly or a date night out. 
Celebrate opening night 
in style in the Symphony 
Lounge, a posh setting along 
Ambassador Auditorium’s 
beautiful outdoor plaza,

prepared menus for both 
lunch and dinner, fine wines 
from The Michero Family, 
and music before the concert 
and during intermission.
