Tafoya demonstrating the Matterport camera to the students.
Students from Monrovia High School game design and engineering classes are working today with Dionisio Tafoya of Dionysus Creative, LLC, to create a 3D digital walk-through of the historic Anderson House.
There is also post-filming work that needs to be done before the walk-through will be available online. Tafoya estimated that could take a few weeks.

Jett has been spending time with a foster family and they absolutely rave about him. They’ve shared that he gets along well with their dog and likes everyone he meets. Jett is described as “easy-going and affectionate.” At only 50 pounds, Jett is big enough to hang with the big dogs and small enough to curl up next to you on the loveseat!
Jett is a young six years old, which makes him eligible for the Seniors for Seniors program; his adoption fee is waived for an adopter over 60.
The adoption fee for dogs is $150. All dog adoptions include spay or neuter, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccines.
New adopters will receive a complimentary health-and-wellness exam from VCA Animal Hospitals, as well as a goody bag filled with information about how to care for your pet. View photos of adoptable pets and schedule an adoption appointment at pasadenahumane.org. Adoptions are by appointment only, and new adoption appointments are available every Sunday and Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. Pets may not be available for adoption and cannot be held for potential adopters by phone calls or email.

City manager, Dylan Feick reports there has been new damage to Canyon Park, a mudslide on Cloverleaf, and the threat of mudslides in upper Monrovia. He writes:
“I am growing more concerned about the saturation of our hillsides and their propensity for flooding. Earlier today, we experienced a significant mudslide on Cloverleaf Drive just before Hidden Valley. The debris blocked the roadway and gas service had to be shut off for the debris removal. We will be covering the exposed hillside and placing k-rails in case more hillside comes down, which is quite likely. City crews are reporting more flood damage within Canyon Park and along Lower Clamshell Trail, as well as falling trees throughout the community.”
February 11, 1916. This is Henry Kabierskie, director of the Monrovia Feature Film Company. John H. Bartle and H. J. Cornes sold 154 acres on Gold Hill to the company for $34,000. "Henry Kabierski, an experienced director attached to the company, had pronounced the location as one of the best in Southern California for the purpose of filming pictures, the air, light, and altitude being ideal for the purpose." A set representing San Francisco was built and burned in a scene. Locals acted in the productions and their homesand other buildings in Monrovia were used as sets. "A large platform was first built on Gold Hill to be used for inside scenes and a number of the old mining camps were reconstructed, such as Hangtown, Sutter's Mill and Sutter's Fort." See John L. Wiley, History of Monrovia, p 150-155. From the Myron Hotchkiss collection. See full details here.
