Chamber Gala goes virtual in successful Zoom event

The 77th Temple City Camellia Festival held its annual kick-off event, Nov. 14.

During the virtual event, General Chairman Kyla Dunn said that she is “truly honored to be se-lected to serve as General Chairman for this very unique year as the Camel-lia Festival has always held a very special place in her heart, and she has made many cherished memories participating in the parade and carnival while grow-ing up in Temple City.”

Ms. Dunn added that

this year’s theme “Every-day Heroes” submitted by Theme Winner Av-ery Hsu, fourth grader at Longden Elementary, fits perfectly for newly re-tired Temple City Unified School District employees Bert Ferntheil and Matt Byers who will both be serving as Grand Mar-shals for the 77th Camellia Festival Parade.

When Bert Ferntheil started as the Band and Orchestra Director at Temple City High School in 1989, the band consist-ed of 30 members, and his

first orchestra featured 25 players and a jazz band of 18. He remembers march-ing in his first CamelliaParade with only 25 bandmembers. Over the yearsthe program flourishedand upon his retirementconsisted of 175 band

77th Annual Camellia Festival will be invirtual format but with same enthusiasm

Oct. 30, 2020 It’s hard to believe that

the holidays are draw-ing near, with 2021 right around the corner. Al-though this year’s cele-brations with family and friends may be different than in years past, the old traditions will continue (with health and safety in mind) and new ones will be created. Likewise, Tem-ple City will continue to host the yearly events that our residents and neigh-bors have come to enjoy, albeit in a virtual, online space. We’re also host-

ing new events in efforts to stay as connected to each other as possible.

And it’s that connection and spirit of commu-nity that’s come through these past few months, even when we can’t gath-er together in person. If we’ve learned anything in the midst of a global pan-demic and extraordinary pressure for social change, it’s that there are still so many signs of hope in people and the promise of

our country and city. We see them every day across our community.

It was es-pecially heart-warming to see nearly 1,000 peo-

ple tune into the virtual Relay for Life on Oct. 3. They came together for a great cause to raise money for cancer research, also while honoring survivors, fighters and those lost to the disease. Thank you to all those who donated, participated or attended

Cooler weather invites thoughts of warm and cozy nights before fireplace

It is finally getting cool-er after a long hot sum-mer. The weather is telling us to sit and have a glass of wine or a warm cup of tea in front of the fireplace. This combination creates a romantic, cozy environ-ment.

A fireplace mantel is a major decorative element of a fireplace. Some man-tels are made of brick, marble, limestone or rus-tic wood.

If you have a real wood-burning fireplace in your house that you have not used in many years, it is recommended that you hire a professional to inspect the chimney

before using it. If you are thinking about adding an indoor or outdoor fire-place to your home, there are rules. Wood-burning fireplaces are no longer legal in newly construct-ed homes in Los Angeles and Orange County. Ac-cording to law, no longer can an open-hearth or wood-burning fireplace be added to an existing

residence or yard; only gas hearths are allowed.

Another option is add-ing a gas-burning fire-place or an electrical one. Even though gas-burning fireplaces do not offer the same feel as wood burn-ing ones, it burns cleaner, is better for the environ-ment and creates more heat at a lower cost than wood-burning fireplaces.

They are also easier to con-struct. Electric fireplaces, on the other hand, are the most cost effective option of all types of fireplaces on the market.

All dry wood burns, but not at the same rate. Some burn slower, hot-ter and cleaner. The best type of firewood burn hot and steady, produce more heat and typically burn more completely. These are hardwoods, such as hickory or ash, rather than softwoods, pine and cedar. Other hardwoods that are the best for burning hotter and longer, are oak, maple, ash, birch, and most fruit trees.

Make sure fireplace meets new laws in existing and new homesFireplaces range from modern to traditional. Whatever the preference, be sure fireplace meets government and Santa’s standards. Gas-burning and electrical fireplaces offer cleaner and less costly options.

A small and traditional fireplace pairs nicely with hardwood floors and a traditional seating area.

Proposition 19 passed in the recent election by receiving approximately 51% of votes and will take effect Feb. 16.

Under current law (pre-Prop 19), there are great benefits for par-ents who want to trans-fer property to their chil-dren yet avoid property tax reassessment. For ex-ample, a married cou-ple can pass property to their three children and avoid property reassess-ment, when transferring (1) their personal resi-

Be aware of Proposition 19; new law takes effect Feb. 16

dence and (2) other prop-erties with a combined as-sessed value of $1 million dollars per person.

For example, if Dad and Mom bought a house in 1980 for $200,000, and two rental proper-ties later for $300,000 and $600,000, Dad and Mom could likely transfer all property to son and to daughter without prop-erty tax reassessment, regardless of the current market value of all prop-erties.

Prop 19 changes that

rule by allowing people age 55 and older, disabled people, and wildfire vic-tims to keep their proper-ty tax basis when moving. Further, Prop 19 changes the parent-to-child ex-clusion in our previous example to only apply to Dad and Mom’s personal residence if son or daugh-

ter actually moves into the home.

As a result, many peo-ple are now considering transferring property to children before Prop 19 takes effect.

The benefit of transfer-ring now is that children have the opportunity to re-ceive more property while

keeping the parents’ prop-erty tax basis.

However, the larg-est negative of trans-ferring property now is losing an income tax ben-efit to receiving property through inheritance called “step up in basis.” Put sim-ply, inheriting property often allows the recipient to avoid paying capital gains income tax.

Other negatives of transferring property now are losing control of the property (the prop-erty is no longer Dad or Mom’s property), liability consideration of the per-

son who owns the proper-ty (what if son causes a car accident?), and necessity of filing a gift tax return.

In summary, Prop 19 has changed property tax rules in California.

For additional infor-mation, please speak with your legal or tax advisor.

Making Dentistry FunBy Jack Von Bulow, DDS

Jack Von Bulow, DDS, was named Top Den-tist by Pasadena Magazine (2011-2013). Temple City Dental Care is located at 9929 E. Las Tunas Drive, Temple City, CA 91780. Phone him at 626-285-3161 or visit his Web site at www.templecitydental.com.

So, it’s that time of the year when, no mat-ter what’s happened since Jan. 1, we’re encouraged to slow down, take a breath, and contemplate grati-tude.

And 2020 has been a rough ride; arguably, the roughest in the last 100 years.

We’ve stayed at home, kept our social distance, watched way more televi-sion than recommended, but hopefully read way

Worry less about what you can’t control and be grateful for what you havemore as well. A trip to the store has been an event to be planned carefully.

A trip to the dentist might not have happened from St. Patrick’s Day to the Fourth of July.

And if we were lucky, we’ve stayed healthy.

The Covid-19 virus continues to sometimes steal away our sense of smell and taste.

The masks we wear to protect our families and

community seem to make our listening more of a challenge and the words we use are maybe more selective.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen so many expressive

beautiful eyes.The Coronavirus has

had an impact on all of our senses.

But literally being robbed of our sense of

touch; as in, sharing a hug or shaking or holding hands, just doesn’t seem fair.

I don’t know about you guys, but for me, loneliness is a condition that prompts me to look back at things like family, friendships, and relation-ships captured in expe-riences that will never be forgotten.

But for me, on reflect-ing, the last eight-nine months have also served

as a reminder of things I’ve taken for granted.

I want more of those unforgettable experiences to relive.

And rather than be overwhelmed or blind-sided by all the stuff we can’t control, I’m going to be more intentional about looking for possibilities.

A valued mentor once suggested, “What you’re looking for is somewhere out there looking for you.” Why not keep looking?

The Temple City Co-alition (TCC), honored as Outstanding Commu-nity Organization by the Chamber at its gala last month, continues to help the homeless and needy in Temple City during the COVID-19 pandemic. TCC provides a weekly hot meal, grab & go style due to the pandemic, each Sunday afternoon at the Temple City United Meth-odist Church.

Using donated funds, TCC is able to purchase ready-to-go meals from neighboring restaurants, thus helping the business community as well as pro-viding nutritious food to those in need.

Community mem-bers have sewn cloth face masks for guests who do not have one when they come to pick up their meal.

Other community members have donated hygiene items, socks, and underwear.

Guests in need of shampoo, lotions, tooth-paste, or toothbrushes stop by a table, one person at a time, to receive these items when they come for the meal.

The work of the Co-

Community support helps TCCoalition support homeless

alition goes beyond just physical needs of food and personal items. Most of all, TCC gives encouragement to those who are discour-aged when housing doesn’t come quickly or job inter-views fail.

And they rejoice to-gether when they hear good news.

Even in the current situation, the brief week-ly meeting offers the op-portunity to connect and share their stories.

TCC recently heard that a long-time homeless friend who has been with the Coalition since the be-ginning now has a place to stay and will start working.

The Temple City Coa-lition, aka Neighborhood Table, is a non-profit 501(c)(3) all volunteer community of various faiths, races, cultures working together to make the neighborhood a better place for everyone.

During this pandem-ic, TCC also continues to provide hot showers Tues-days through Saturdays, weekly laundry assistance and light case manage-ment, in addition to the weekly hot meal.

For more information about services or to make a donation, phone 626-286-3129.

Make season brighter for homeless with donation

for moral support. While traditional trick-

or-treating was off the table this year for Hal-loween, the city created new events that were fun, family-friendly and safe. Families participated in the first door decorating contest, dressing up their front doors, porches and entryways for the holiday. Winners received trophies and goodie bags for their efforts. And because it’s not Halloween without candy for the kids, the city pivoted to offer a drive-through Halloween expe-rience this year with con-tactless pickup at several booths. For an extra sur-prise this year, there was a special “golden ticket” in a treat bag for a brand-new bike, donated by Kiwanis Club.

In November, we will honor veterans as we do every year in a mostly online Veterans Day cel-ebration. The day begins with a 15-minute vintage plane flyover at 11 a.m., Nov. 11, viewable from most homes within city limits. Temple Citians are also submitting pictures of a veteran or an active

duty service member for a commemorative slide show.

Other residents have requested lawn signs for the holiday with a mes-sage of “Remembering all who served.” For more information on Temple City’s virtual events and offerings, phone 626-579-0461 or visit templecity.us/vrc. Also, follow the City’s social media accounts (we’re @ConnectWithTC on Facebook, Twitter and In-stagram) for updates on upcoming events.

As we all know, all these changes to our usual tra-ditions are happening in order to keep our friends, loved ones and neighbors safe as we enter our eighth month of this pandemic. Cases of COVID-19 are once again spiking glob-ally during a fall wave. Though quarantine fa-tigue might be setting in for some, we need to re-double our efforts to keep the virus count low in our community. It’s crucial to keep washing our hands, wearing masks, avoiding large gatherings and keep-ing a safe, physical dis-tance from others not in our “bubble.” Continue to

check temp-lecity.us/coro-navirus for updates and pandemic-re-lated situation summaries.

It’s also the start of flu season, and it’s important to stay healthy as both the seasonal flu and COVID-19 will be circu-lating in the community. You can give you and your family members an extra chance at protection by getting a flu shot. To find a flu immunization near you, phone your doctor, your local pharmacy or go to www.vaccinefinder.org. To find a free or low-cost flu immunization, call 2-1-1, visit a Los Angeles County Public Health Clinic or a seasonal outreach clinic.

And finally, as we ap-proach our Thanksgiv-ing holiday, it gives us a moment to reflect on the things that we are truly grateful for. My family has traditionally spent Thanksgiving visiting rel-atives in Arizona. It’s a time to relax, share a great meal and catch up on fam-

ily news and hap-penings. This year, we plan on staying close to home with our sons, but I’m sure there will be plenty of phone calls and perhaps a “Zoom meet-ing” with extended family. We’re sure to exchange good cheer and more

than a few texts, chatting about the day when we can finally get everyone together for a big group hug.

It’s difficult, but we must believe in the notion that our sacrifices these past few months will not only make us stronger, but also bring us closer together as a nation and community. For those who have lost loved ones, our heart and prayers go out to you. Remain strong, stay healthy and may God bless all of you this holi-day season.

If you have any thoughts or questions for me, please feel free to phone me at 626-285-2171, ext. 4111 or email [email protected]. Cordially, Tom Chavez, Mayor

members, three orchestras and two jazz bands. One of the many highlights during his time as band director include two ap-pearances in the Tourna-ment of Roses Parade in 2004 and 2015.

In addition, Mr. Fern-theil and second Grand Marshal Matt Byers col-laborated yearly on Tem-ple City High School Mu-sical production. The pit orchestra was recognized

five times in recent years with JRAY Awards for Best All Student Orches-tra.

Mr. Byers attended Temple City Schools and returned in 1984 to de-velop a district-wide vo-cal arts program that has been featured all around the world.

He directed choirs covering grades 4-12 and over the past 34 years transformed the Brighter Side Singers into a show

choir, leading them on 28 performance tours across the globe. Having per-formed as a student in the high school musicals one of his highlights became producing 34 Temple City High School musicals, and directing 18 of them as well.

He had so much fun with the high school shows that he developed the Summer Junior Mu-sical Program. In 1998 he served as Honorary

Grand Marshal of the Ca-mellia Festival Parade, and in 2016 he was named Los Angeles County Teacher of the Year.

The Camellia Festival Committee believes that Mr. Ferntheil and Mr. Byers embody this year’s theme “Everyday Heroes” and are proud to have them serve as Grand Mar-shals for 2021.

Camellia Festival Pa-rade: The Temple City Ca-mellia Festival Committee is looking forward to a unique festival year, con-tinuing many of the tradi-tions that the community has embraced during its

77-year history. While there will not be

a Carnival this year, there will be a Camellia Festival Parade.

All protocols set forth by the Los Angeles De-partment of Public Health will be followed, and in light of the changeable na-ture of the Health Depart-ment Orders, final deci-sions regarding the event may not be solidified until mid-January 2021. You are encouraged to visit the Camellia Festival website www.CamelliaFestival.org for the most up to date infor-mation regarding the 77th Camellia Festival, includ-

Estate Planning at-torney and Temple City High School graduate Samuel Ledwitz wants to stress that this is the time to get a living trust and have your heirs avoid the courts alto-gether.

Not having a living trust, Mr. Ledwitz said, most likely forces your heirs to go through pro-bate, a public process that decides the fate of your estate. And that process is taking much longer than it used to.

“Probate could take one to two years,” he said. “It has to be pub-lic. You have to take out newspaper publications. There are other fees: bond fees, appraisal fees and court fees. So, with a $500,000 estate, the

fees could be more than $26,000, including the executor and attorney fees.”

What should some-one do to avoid probate?

“We can avoid the amount of time with most of the cases by cre-ating a living trust,” Mr. Ledwitz said.

“A living trust makes sure your wishes are carried out the way you wanted them to be in a very private manner.”

But what makes a liv-ing trust private and just having a will public?

“Living trusts fall under contract law, not will law, so there’s no probate,” he said.

“Probate means to prove a will. Where there’s a will, there’s a

probate.”Not having a will nor

a living trust also can trigger a probate pro-cess, he said.

“If you have no will, you’re also a candidate for probate,” he said. “The fees depend upon the attorney, but they usually run between $1,000 and $2,000 for an estate plan. Even on just a $300,000 estate, you’ll save in the ratio of 9 to 1.”

If you would like to discuss any aspect of a proper Estate Plan, please phone The Law Offices of Bezaire, Ledwitz & Associates at 626- 398-0100 or log onto www.SmartEs-tatePlans.com.

According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical prob-lems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away alto-gether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To order a FREE Special Report, call toll-free 1-888-300-4632 and enter 3003. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn’t cost you the sale of your home.

Virtual Camellia Festival going small with fewer floats

Some much-needed holiday cheer is on its way back to Temple City, with a trio of fan-favorite tra-ditions slated to return to the community in ways that ensure safe yet festive fun for the whole family.

Beginning the evening of Dec. 4, Temple City will turn into a glowing winter wonderland as lights go on along Las Tu-nas Drive and at City Hall, Tem-ple City Park and Live Oak Park. As the month pro-gresses, be sure to visit the city’s sparkling cen-terpiece: Temple City Park’s 100-foot redwood tree.

Temple City’s annual Holiday Decorating Con-test is the perfect oppor-tunity to show off a pen-chant for design.

All residences and businesses located within Temple City limits are eli-gible to enter the free con-test, with the exception of those named winners in 2019.

Registration for the contest is not required; those wishing to enter must only decorate their home or business and leave all decor and lights up and on from 5-9 p.m., Dec. 9. A team of judges will circulate Temple

City in search of the community’s most festively adorned properties.

Winning homes and businesses will receive a Holiday Decorating Contest lawn sign the week of Dec. 21, as well as have photos of their dazzling displays shared across the City of Temple City’s digi-

tal platforms.Finally, don’t

forget to keep an eye out for a crew of season-al visitors who will be touching down in Temple City this Decem-

ber. During Temple City’s month-long Elf Scavenger Hunt, which runs Dec. 1-30, elves will be placed on a weekly basis at local parks and business win-dow fronts around the city.

Clues for where to find the Golden Elf will be re-leased on the City’s Hol-iday Cheer webpage on Mondays, Dec. 7, 14, and 21. Be the first to spot the Golden Elf, snap an Elf-fie (that’s an elf selfie, for those new to the game) and email it to the Parks & Recreation Department (rrodriguez@templecity.

us), and you could qualify for a prize

from the City. All winners and prizes will

be announced on Fridays.

“It’s in-e v i t a b l e that the

holidays this year will be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and our chief concern is that everyone stays safe this season,” said Temple City Mayor Tom Chavez.

“However, our holiday programming is a testa-ment to the fact that some traditions are unshake-able.

We take comfort and pride in being able to extend some holiday warmth and good tidings to all Temple Citians this winter.”

Dear Community Members,It is with a great deal of sadness that I inform

you that Ms. Josette Temple, the daughter of Wal-ter P. Temple, the founder of our City and the last Temple, passed away the morning of Oct. 28, at the age of 83. We understand that she collapsed and passed quickly.

Rachel LaSota, Historical Society president, was contacted through her relationship with the Home-stead Museum and was advised that Josette’s god-son and cousin’s son were making arrangements.

Josette was a lovely person, and I am glad that I came to know her, initially through the Camellia Festival and then through other organizations she supported.

I spent quite a bit of time with her at the 2020 Festival Parade, again informed her that, as long as she was able, we wanted her to be in the Parade every year.

It was such an honor to have her part of our Temple City Tradition.

In 2016 Josette was honored with the first Wom-an’s Club of Temple City Humanitarian Award and became an Honorary Life Member.

Club Members were honored when taking a tour of the Workman-Temple Homestead Muse-um organized by Carole Rodenbucher (who has been in frequent communication with Josette with Woman’s Club Wednesday) when she joined us for the day.

It made seeing Temple history even more rel-evant with her presence, and it is now a special memory we can all share.

It was perhaps the Historical Society of Temple City that Josette was the most passionate about. She attended as many general membership meet-ings as she could, supporting the organization with her presence as well as book signings of “Gentle

Temple City says goodbye to Josette Temple, last namesake of cityMs. Josette Temple

November 27, 1936 – October 28, 2020

Artist Of The San Gabriel Valley: California Preserved Through The Life And Paintings Of Walter P. Temple Jr.” published in 2004.

She continued to reside in La Puente, and support-ed and remained involved with the Workman-Temple Homestead as she was able.

We will miss her smiling face, and the joy she shared simply by being in her presence. May she rest in peace.

(The clear popular favorites were “Schitt’s Creek” and “The Mandalorian”). The two chambers will be hosting a Holiday Networking Mixer, Dec. 17 (see flier Page 2). Bring your best elevator pitch.
