LASD offers tattoo removal for inmates Inmates in the custody of the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department have the opportunity to participate in a tattoo removal program. Tattoos were once considered permanent, but are now possible to remove them using laser treatments. The tattoo program utilizes the latest technology in tattoo removal and it has been a great success. The Sheriff’s Department has implemented new programs such as Education Based Incarceration, the Community Transition Unit, and the Tattoo Clinic. The implementation of these programs is an attempt to reduce recidivism; the rate of inmates committing new crimes. It is the hope that through these programs the inmate’s sense

Deputies administer CPR to 8 year-old boy trapped in washing machine Detectives from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Special Victims Bureau are investigating the circumstances surrounding the discovery of an eight yearold boy found by his parents, unresponsive in a washing machine at their residence, located in the 30500 block of Pansy Court, Castaic on Wednesday, July 31, 2013 at approximately 7:30 PM. The victim’s father pulled the boy from the frontloading washing machine which was filled with water. The boy’s mother had gone to the store, while his father

tended to yard work. When the father realized his son was in the washing machine, he pulled the unresponsive boy from the machine and called 9-1-1. Personnel from the Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Station and the Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to the location. When deputy personnel arrived, they found the child lying in front of the washing machine, unresponsive and not breathing. Deputies administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to the child until the arrival of Fire Department personnel.

The child was resuscitated and transported to a local hospital. He is currently listed in stable condition with his parents by his side. Anyone with information is asked to contact Sergeant Brian Hudson of Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Special Victims Bureau at (877) 710-5273 or SpecialVictims@lasd.org, or if you wish to remain anonymous, call “LA Crime Stoppers” by dialing 800-222-TIPS (8477), texting the letters TIPLA plus your tip to CRIMES (274637), or using the website http://lacrimestoppers.org

Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Medical Services Bureau and the Inmate Services Bureau. The program is overseen by trained medical personnel and initially began with 25 volunteer inmates. The program has grown and currently has treated 276 male inmates and 260 female inmates totaling 536. The Tattoo Removal Program also affects inmates outside the jail system. Many employers have policies or rules regarding tattoos, which would limit job opportunities for the inmate. Tattoos could make it more difficult for inmates to advance in a career or even make it difficult to obtain and keep a job in some fields. “Visible tattoos, espe-

cially those that are gang-related or profane, can negatively impact an inmate’s ability to find employment after their release. An ex-inmate who can find a job is better able to reintegrate into the community, and less likely to end up back in jail. This program helps those inmates that have made the commitment to better themselves while in custody carry that commitment with them as they re-enter our communities,” said Medical Services Bureau Captain Kuykendall. The tattoo removal process uses a laser that produces a short pulse of intense light, which passes through the top layers of skin to be selectively absorbed by the tattoo

pigment. This breaks down the tattoo ink, which is then absorbed by the body, and the tattoo fades. Most patients need between three to eight sessions to completely remove the tattoo. Treatment sessions are scheduled every eight weeks. The Tattoo Removal Program helps give inmates a positive change and has had overwhelming positive feedback from the participants. The tattoo clinic, along with education and vocational training, are part of the Sheriff Department’s programs to help inmates secure employment, and reduce the likelihood that they will commit more crimes in the future.

The march on Washington: A commemoration A celebration of the 50th anniversary of the August 28, 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, a watershed in the struggle for civil rights in the United States will be held at Pasadena Public Library’s Allendale Branch, 1130 S. Marengo Ave. in August. The March, which culminated with Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial, is widely credited with helping to pass the Civil Rights Act (1964) and the Voting Rights Act (1965). On Saturday, August 17 at 2 p.m. Peter Dreier, Occidental College professor and author of The 100 Greatest Americans of the 20th Century: A Social Justice Hall of Fame (Nation Books, 2012), will introduce a screening of the award-winning documentary, Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin. The lead organizer for the March on Washington, Rustin, according to Dreier, used “his immense talents—as an organizer, strategist, speaker, intellectual, and writer—to

effectively challenge the economic and racial status quo. Always an outsider, he helped catalyze the civil rights movement with courageous acts of resistance.” On Saturday, August 31 at 2 p.m. folk singer Ross Altman will present the Musical Legacy of the Great March, a program of folk music originally performed at the March on Washington by Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Len Chandler, and Peter, Paul and Mary. The performance will also include a few songs that became prominent in the months leading up to the March from the 1963 Newport Folk Festival with Pete Seeger and the Mississippi Freedom Singers, and in the aftermath (such as Richard Farina’s “Birmingham Sunday”), and will conclude with a 50th anniversary remembrance of the assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. For more information on the program, contact Shauna Redmond at (626) 744-7260 or sredmond@ cityofpasadena.net.

N. Brand Blvd. in Glendale Continued from page 1

Avery Dennison, which joins Whole Foods Market’s Southern Pacific regional headquarters as tenants in the building, will occupy 54,488 square feet on two floors, which can accommodate more than 200 employees. The 207 Goode building features brand new construction, efficient floor plates and a LEED Gold rating from the U.S. Green Building Council. The iconic Avery Dennison logo will marquee the south side of the building parapet and be visible to motorists traveling on the 134 Freeway. Earlier this year, New York Life also took space in a North Brand office tower at 801 N. Brand, and Nestle continues to anchor the area at their 800 N. Brand location. Another two key occupants, Trader Joes Market and Walgreens, have entered agreements to occupy the property at 101 E. Glenoaks, and provide much desired walking-distance amenities to office workers north of the 134 Freeway. Construction on the two stores is expected to begin this fall. The City of Glendale’s Economic Development

team is working with Avery Dennison, Trader Joes and Walgreens to expedite their openings. “These new neighbors represent another step forward in our efforts to improve the vibrancy of Glendale’s Class A office environment,” said City Manager Scott Ochoa. “Over the past two years, our vacancy rate has gone from as high as nearly 25% to today less than 20% -- and we aren’t done yet. We regard this new activity as further proof that Glendale is thriving in the wake of the Great Recession and highlighting this city as a premier location to do business,” he added, noting that Class A office occupants are a boon to nearby restaurants and stores. CBRE Vice Chairman R. Todd Doney, who represented Avery Dennison in the seven year lease transaction, added, “It was important to Avery Dennison that their new corporate headquarters support the collaborative and strategic needs of the organization. We are delighted to have found them a high-quality building that met their criteria and offered them attractive economics.”

5,495 illegal guns melted down into rebar On Tuesday, July 30, 2013, Sheriff Baca announced the destruction of 5,495 weapons confiscated from criminals in Los Angeles County and collected through the “Gifts for Guns” exchange program. Annually, Gerdau Steel Mill, located in Rancho Cucamonga, donates its furnace, equipment and personnel to convert these weapons into steel rebar. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works also donates the trucks every year that transport the weapons to the Mill. These weapons were melted into steel reinforcing bar (rebar) and ultimately will be transformed into elements of construction for upgrades in freeways and bridges in Arizona, California and Nevada. “Our partnership with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department allows us the opportunity to make an impact in our community,” said Jim Crompton, Vice President and General Manager of Gerdau Steel Mill.

“We are taking weapons that could destroy our community and repurposing them into steel that will literally help build our community.” Twelve law enforcement agencies have contributed confiscated weapons to this program. These agencies include Downey Police Department, Long Beach Police Department, Signal Hill Police Department, Claremont Police Department, El Montel Police Department, West Covina Police Department, Whittier Police Department, Santa Monica Police Department, Bell Gardens Police Department, Culver City Police

Department, El Camino College Police Department and Inglewood Police Department. “These weapons that you see here will never again be used to commit a crime or used to threaten or intimidate an innocent victim,” Baca said.

Jewish federation of the Greater San Gabriel and Pomona valleys presents the ‘Folk Collection’ The Jewish Federation of the Greater San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys is proud to announce that THE FOLK COLLECTION WILL PERFORM AT THE JEWISH FEDERATION ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 4. “We are truly privileged to be able to perform the great folk tunes of the 60’s for audiences throughout the West,” says Mike Sirota, who sings as cantor at Temple Ami Shalom in West Covina. Sirota is a member of The Folk Collection, which will be performing at the Jewish Federation on Sunday, August 4 at 4:00pm. The group’s Tony Unger, Ed Labowitz and Mike Sirota, grew up in the 1960’s, when they fell in love with the story songs and 3-part harmonies of that acoustic era. Bob Packham, the group’s Bassman, joined a few years ago. Unger and Labowitz, who is a Los Angeles entertainment lawyer when not touring with the group, have been a duo on and off since the mid 60’s at Hollywood

High School in Los Angeles. Sirota joined the group in 2003. “This music is like fine wine. It just gets better as the years go on,” says Unger, who is a senior Baptist pastor in Palmdale when not performing with The Folk Collection. Much of their repertoire is familiar to audiences of all ages. With songs like “This Land is Your Land,” “Blowin’ in the Wind,” “Greenback Dollar,” and “City of New Orleans,” the group encourages audiences of all ages to join them in song. The Folk Collection recently added a medley of TV western theme songs from the 50s – familiar again to young audiences who have seen these shows on cable TV. “Although several of us write music, we mainly perform tunes the audience knows and can sing along with us,” says Ed Labowitz. “We are pleased to present The Folk Collection at the Jewish Federation,” says Executive Director, Jason Moss. “Their music is a testa-

ment to the enduring quality of this upbeat and universal American music. And the best way to enjoy it is to sing, hum, and clap along with them. Bring your kids. They will have a great time, too.” “We grew up loving this sort of music, and the turnouts at our shows confirms that there are many baby boomers, as well as older and younger folks, who really like listening to words and harmonies – and joining in when the mood and song fit. We put on a show centered around folk music and good clean jokes,” says Unger. Packham adds, “Our shows are family friendly. We get a real kick out of watching teenagers, who reluctantly come to our show as a favor to a parent or grandparent, and then leave smiling and humming tunes we sang.” Tickets are $36 for premier, and $18 for general seating. For tickets, or more information, contact federation@jewishsgpv.org or (626) 445-0810.

Outdoor "Summer of Sound" 2013 Music Party - Aug. 17 MUSE/IQUE, known for its counter-conventional performances that feel more like parties than formal concerts, wraps “Summer of Sound” 2013 with “Lose Your Senses with Ellis Hall” featuring Hall, Tower of Power’s lead singer and keyboardist who electrifies with his five octave range and tears it up with the Selah Gospel Choir to unchain the soul sounds of great musicians like Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and even Bach, Beethoven and Vivaldi on Saturday, August 17, 2013, 7:30 pm, outdoors at Caltech’s Beckman Mall in Pasadena. They join Caltech physicist Sean Carroll and MUSE/IQUE Artistic Director Rachael Worby, who conducts the MUSE/ IQUE Orchestra for a pure out-of the-box adventure that also celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Maurice Sendak’s “Where the Wild Things Are” with a world premiere of a dance set to the score of Spike Jonze’ critically acclaimed film adaptation of the beloved children’s book. Gates open at 5:30 pm for dinner (ordered in advance) or bring-your-own picnics, with table seating and plentiful free parking. In signature MUSE/ IQUE fashion, Worby adds a twist to the 90-minute concert. “The thrust is pure Motown energy laid down by the master, Ellis Hall, who is blind, like his mentor Ray Charles,” Worby explains. “We are infusing the repertoire with works by some of Ellis’s classical music influences, the hearing impaired Beethoven among them, as we link earlier classical music to the best of American Motown.” From the vast library of Motown favorites, Ellis performs such Ray Charles hits as Georgia on My Mind, You Don’t Know Me, I Can’t Stop Loving You, Let the Good Times Roll and Hit the Road, Jack, as well as America the Beautiful, Marvin Gaye’s I Heard It Through the Grapevine, Stevie Wonder’s My Cheri Amour, and Ain’t No Mountain High Enough by Nick Ashford

and Valerie Simpson. The Selah Gospel Choir presents an a cappella version of the traditional spiritual Swing Down Chariot, popularized over the years by such diverse artists as Elvis Presley, Randy Travis and Ronnie Milsap, and the MUSE/IQUE orchestra performs works by Bach, Beethoven and Vivaldi. The evening also pays tribute to Sendak's classic children’s book, “Where the Wild Things Are,” which has touched millions of souls around the globe since it was published in 1963, with the world premiere of a new dance commissioned for the occasion and set to Carter Burwell’s score for Spike Jonze’ film adaptation of the fanciful and much-loved work. Finally, Caltech scientist Sean Carroll adds his own spin on the science of soul. A gifted science communicator, Carroll is theoretical cosmologist specializing in dark energy and general relativity who has appeared on such notable television programs as History Channel’s The Universe, Science Channel’s Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman and Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report, MUSE/IQUE, known for its inspired, unexpected live music events, connects master artists with new voices across a limitless range of styles. Its counter-conventional performances, which feel more like parties than formal concerts, link musicians with great thinkers and compelling visual, cinematic and dance artists. In the two years since MUSE/IQUE was founded by Artistic Director Rachael Worby, it has grown from one performance with a handful of devoted followers to a major cultural presence that reaches vast audiences. Its considerable membership currently numbers more than 500 people. In the fall and spring, MUSE/IQUE presents “Uncorked” evenings at unconventional locations, and in the summer MUSE/IQUE features three outdoor "music parties" at Caltech's Beckman Mall, all curated by the innovative and visionary Worby.

Among MUSE/IQUE’s guest artists are Jessye Norman, Charlie Haden, Patti Austin, Mary Wilson, Flea, Rickie Lee Jones, Ellis Hall, Matt Haimovitz, Angela Bassett, Arturo Sandoval and more. Uncorked's “pop-up” venues have included Pasadena's Phoenix Decorating Center (where Rose Parade floats are constructed), Art Center College of Design Sculpture Garden, Castle Press (one of the nation's largest printing presses), backstage at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium and others. KIDS/IQUE!, a primary element of the organization, serves boys and girls, ages 12 to 18, in the San Gabriel Valley’s network of foster care services by presenting ongoing interactive experiences with professional musicians and other artists designed to compliment the service goals of the foster care facilities even as they allow MUSE/IQUE to reach otherwise underserved youth. Other outreach programs include free and low-cost tickets for students and community groups, and "Free For All," a free annual concert featuring a fusion of music with family friendly surprises. Caltech's Beckman Mall is located at 332 S. Michigan Ave. Pasadena CA 91106. Plentiful parking is free. To reserve a catered dinner that can be picked up on site, please contact Perfect Equation Catering at (626) 5295585. Concert tickets begin at $10 per person with top tier seating, $96 per person, available to MUSE/IQUE members at the $1,000+ contribution level; students with ID are $10. MUSE/ IQUE membership, which ranges from $250 to $2,500, includes a variety of special benefits including priority seating and services. For tickets and membership information, please call 626539-7085 or visit www.museique.com. This event will take place on Saturday, August 17, 2013, 7:30 pm Caltech's Beckman Mall, Pasadena with Table Seating for Dining and Picnicking

Boutique luxury at Shore Hotel By Greg Aragon There are hotels with great amenities and there are others with perfect locations. And then there are those that have both, such as the Shore Hotel in Santa Monica. This modern ocean-front property sits on one of the hippest streets in Los Angeles, while overlooking an historic pier and an exciting, eclectic city. What more could a traveler want? Well, how about a fun and creative Mexican restaurant attached to the property for good measure. My getaway to Shore began recently when a friend and I checked into a chic suite at the 164-room hotel. Highlighted by a balcony with sweeping views of Santa Monica Pier, the ocean and the resort pool, the room was luxurious yet efficient. Like all Shore guest rooms, ours featured lighting, temperature and other controls that are automatically adjusted as visitors leave and enter the

room, using the room key, which doubles as a personally programmed RFID (radio frequency identification). Built to stringent certified Gold LEED standards, the boutique hotel is ideal for environmentally-conscious hotel goers who don’t want to sacrifice a lavish experience. Besides cool green features, the room boasted a large flat screen TV, wireless Internet, big king bed, with 100% pure Egyptian cotton sheets, and a very unique glass enclosed shower that allows bathers to watch TV or look outside while getting clean. Beyond the rooms, the hotel boasts a heated pool and Jacuzzi in a beautiful open air atrium, with plants, trees, fire and water features –all of which face the pier and busy Ocean Blvd. And next to the pool and Zen Garden is the hotel’s signature restaurant Blue Plate Taco, where we enjoyed a wonderful outdoor dining experience. Offering still more ocean views, Blue Plate Taco is a healthy, authentic update to the classic taco

stand and gets its inspiration from the fresh, coastal cuisine found in seaside towns throughout Mexico. The food is created in a large open kitchen and is highlighted by an exciting variety of tacos, ceviches, grilled seafood and meats, salads, soups and inventive salsas. Our meal began on the patio, with Mexican beers, fresh guacamole and chips. We then shared a tasty beet salad, while watching the giant, lighted Ferris wheel at the Santa Monica

private, nonprofits without the financial ability to offset the adverse impact without hardship,” Judd said. By law, SBA makes EIDLs available when the U. S. Secretary of Agriculture designates an agricultural disaster. Secretary Tom Vilsack declared this disaster on July 31, 2013. Businesses primarily engaged in farming or ranching are not eligible for SBA disaster assistance. Agricultural enterprises should contact the Farm Services Agency (FSA) about the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) assistance made available by the Secretary’s declaration. However, in drought disasters nurseries are eligible for

SBA disaster assistance. Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA’s secure Web site at https://disasterloan. sba.gov/ela.

Deputies first responded to the home after a male inside the called 9-1-1 to report the shooting. Homicide detectives have since learned that

premium tequila from the restaurant’s bar. After dinner, we took a short walk to the legendary 3rd Street Promenade, where we did a little bar hopping, before concluding the evening at a British pub called the King’s Head. The next morning I worked out in the hotel’s fitness center and then joined a couple friends for breakfast at The Ivy (www. theivyrestaurant.com). Located steps from the Shore Hotel, The Ivy serves up

classic American, Italian and Regional dishes in a romantic atmosphere with patio and terrace dining. For my breakfast I had coffee and a delicious plate of Juevos Rancheros, with eggs, corn tortillas, black beans and salsa. The Shore Hotel is located at 1515 Ocean Avenue, Santa Monica, 90401.

Child support programs help parents be successful August is ‘Child Support Awareness Month’ serving to remind parents that providing child support is one of the many ways they demonstrate love for their children. The California Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) is commemorating the month by recognizing California’s 51 local child support agencies in counties across the state, as well as the courts that collectively provide the services necessary to help children get the financial and medical support they are entitled to in a fair and consistent manner statewide. “Our mission is to collect money owed to families so that children have the security and support they need, but we recognize that some parents face challenges to making their child support payments including underemployment, re-entry after incarceration, or other challenges. Local child support agencies, through partnerships, can play an important role for parents trying to be successful in making consistent child support payments,” said Kathleen Hrepich, Interim Director of DCSS.

Parents who are past due on child support payments are encouraged to stop by their local child support agency. When appropriate, child support professionals provide their customers with referrals to other programs for crisis intervention, social services, workforce programs and community organizations that can help address non-child support needs. Each county is different, and they strive to address the unique characteristics of their community with links to programs that can assist parents so that they can be more successful in meeting their child support obligations.

Children have the right to be supported by both parents for their financial, medical and emotional needs. The California Department of Child Support Services, together with the local child support agencies, collected a combined $2.3 billion in distributed collections during the past federal fiscal year ending in September 2012. That’s a $48 million increase over the previous federal fiscal year. Of that, $1.8 billion was distributed directly to families, and $500 million was distributed to the state and federal governments for recoupment of public assistance and foster care expenses.

FBI Continued from page 1

The law enforcement activity was part of a national initiative known as Operation Cross Country VII took place in 76 cities in the United States and led to the rescue of over 100 minors. Over 150 suspects were arrested for allegedly transporting minors for the purposes of prostitution, among other violations. More than 230 agencies participated in Operation Cross Country VII. In the four counties that fall within the jurisdiction of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office, two minors, ages 15 and 16, were rescued, and four pimps were arrested. As part of these efforts, investigators also partner with experts in the field of human trafficking to seek evidence of sex trafficking where adults, as well as minors, are being victimized. “The FBI is proud to partner with local law enforcement agencies whose personnel encounter the victimization of minors through prostitution in their cities on a routine basis,” said Bill L. Lewis, the Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office. “The FBI is committed to the identification and rescue of minor victims and to hold accountable through either state or federal prosecution those who exploit children for financial gain.” To date, the FBI and its task force partners have recovered more than 2,700 children from the streets across the United States. Nationally, investigations and the subsequent 1,350 convictions have resulted in lengthy sentences, including 10 life terms, as well as the seizure of more than $3.1 million in assets. Task force operations usually begin as local enforcement actions that target truck stops, casinos, street “tracks,” and websites that advertise dating or escort services, based on intelligence gathered by officers working in their respective jurisdictions. Initial arrests are often violations of local and state laws relating to prostitution or solicitation. Information gleaned from those arrest-

ed frequently uncovers organized efforts to prostitute women and children across many states. FBI agents further develop this evidence in partnership with U.S. Attorney’s Offices and the U.S. Department of Justice’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section so that prosecutors can help bring federal charges in those cities where child prostitution occurs. The following is a recent local example (Orange County) of successful prosecution at the federal level: On June 26, 2013, Eric Wells was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for transporting minors for the purposes of prostitution (18 USC 2423(a). Wells’ co-defendant, Tonisha Moore, was sentenced on July 9, 2013, to 70 months in federal prison and eight years’ supervised release for transporting minors for the purposes of prostitution. The couple recruited minor victims, ages 14 and 17, in Las Vegas in March/ April 2012 and transported them to Phoenix, Arizona and Orange County, California, for the purposes of prostitution. Wells and Moore were indicted in May 2012 and both pled guilty in May/June 2012. The FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office works throughout the year with a variety of law enforcement partners in multiple cities across the seven-county area comprising the Central District of California. Local departments participating in Operation Cross Country VII are listed below:

• Ontario Police Department • Pomona Police Department • Riverside Police Department • Hemet Police Department • Los Angeles Police Department (Hollywood & 77th) • Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (Compton) • Inglewood Police Department • Anaheim Police Department • U.S. Homeland Security Investigations; Immigration Customs Enforcement • Department of Child and Family Services • Los Angeles County Probation • Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office • Orange County District Attorney’s Office • Riverside District Attorney’s Office • San Bernardino District Attorney’s Office The task forces will present cases to the District Attorneys in each county where arrests were made and will consult with the United States Attorney’s Office to determine where federal charges are possible. The FBI’s National Innocence Lost Initiative was established in 2003 to address criminal enterprises involved in the domestic sex trafficking of children. The program combines the resources of state and federal law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, social service providers, and non-governmental organizations; and training is provided with the assistance of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

National Night Out in Glendale - August 6

Farewell to a special colleague Star News reporter Janette Williams We'll miss you Janette Lamb Williams, for 22 years a popular reporter and editor for the Pasadena Star-News, died unexpectedly at her Monrovia home recently. She was 68. "The Star-News lost both its heart and its soul" with Williams' death, Editor Frank Girardot said. "It is a truly devastating blow to all of us who know and loved Janette." “Williams, a native of Scotland, began her journalistic career at British newspapers including the Paisley Daily Express, once interviewing the nascent Rolling Stones in the early 1960s. When she and her husband, the late Brian Williams, moved to Canada and then the United States in the 1980s as part of his work with international engineering firms, she put her journalism on hold while her

two children, Andrew and Fiona, were young. But when the family settled in Arcadia, Williams began writing for a chain of weeklies owned

by the Star-News in 1991, and soon was promoted to the daily paper. Over more than two decades at the Star-News, she covered essentially every beat

the paper has, from crime to city halls to high culture. She was promoted to city editor, and also worked on the city desk of sister paper the San Gabriel Valley Tribune, before returning to writing in recent years, mainly covering local cultural institutions including the Huntington Library and the Norton Simon Museum.” The newspaper said. “We often would see Williams on assignment at all sorts of events” said Beacon Media photographer Terry Miller. “She was always delightful and usually had a bloody funny story to tell… usually off the record.” “We shared a similar heritage both being from the UK, I’ll miss her smile, sense of humour and genuine concern for her fellow man.” Miller concluded.

National Night Out is set for the evening of Tuesday, August 6, 2013. This is a community-driven event where neighbors meet neighbors to share concerns, strategies and ideas for safer communities. The Glendale Police Department partners with event hosts to coordinate and plan events. A neighborhood event can be as simple as a gathering on a lawn with refreshments, or as elaborate as a neighborhood potluck with raffle prizes. Last year was our biggest, with a total of 51 events citywide and we would like to have even more in 2013! Organize with your neighbors to come together to take a stand against crime, drugs and disorder in Glendale neighborhoods. Members of the Glendale City Council and City officials visit these events to hear concerns and ideas, and to get to know the community. If you are interested in hosting an event, please visit our event website at www. glendalenno.com or call

PRESCRIBING FOR SLEEP APNEA? YOUR DME COMPANY LETTING YOU DOWN? If you’re frustrated with your DME provider, find out why thousands of physicians prefer “Classic”

Why Classic?

We relieve you from the burden of answering day-to-day equipment issues.

“Sleep” is our specialty. That’s right, no oxygen, scooters, wheelchairs, beds or other DME. We supply only PAP equipment and related replenishment supplies. This allows us to be real experts in what we do and to concentrate on delivering the patient care that matters. The fact we serve more than 18,000 patients over 18 states and are growing rapidly is testament to our focus and commitment to delivering timely setup and having happy and compliant patients.

able to continue to collect usage data.

Compliance through great patient care

When calling patients we use data generated from our proprietary Download on Demand® software. This takes the raw data streams from patient’s modems, parses the data to produce compliance reports containing key data points and a graph that our clinicians use so that they can have an intelligent conversation with the patient based on that patient’s actual use of their equipment. Of course patients can (and do!) call in to our patient care center for help and advice from our clinicians at any time.

is what really sets us apart from the pack. Our licensed respiratory professionals (respiratory therapists and registered sleep techs) work with patients from the time of setup and throughout their therapy with one goal in mind…to ensure they quickly adapt to their therapy and stay compliant over time.

Our CPAP Circle of Care® program

was carefully designed to achieve this. The first step of the program is for one of our licensed respiratory therapists to complete the setup faceto-face with the patient, either in their home or their doctor’s office, usually within 72 hours of approval. Our R/T will set the machine to the prescription and then educate the patient on its use, care and maintenance. And educate the patient on what to expect over the first days and weeks of their therapy. We set up all patients on the highest quality machines fitted with wireless modems (regardless of insurance). And we leave the modems on the machine indefinitely so as to be

Interested in learning more? www.classicsleepcare.com

After setup patients are passed to our patient care center for ongoing compliance care. Our licensed clinicians make outgoing calls at 72 hours, 30 days and 90 days after setup to interdict any problems patients may be having. A field R/T will make a re-visit to a patient in their home where a problem cannot be resolved over the phone.

Download on Demand® - Driving Compliance

Our goal is to have happy, compliant patients while taking the brunt of the every-day questions patients invariably have. This relieves the burden from our referring physician’s offices who otherwise have to deal with this call volume, and depending on the experience of the doctor in this field, may not be able to answer typical questions the patient has regarding equipment issues (e.g. how to fix a leaking mask).

Skeptical?

So you’ve heard it all before? All the DME’s brag that they’re the best and have a great compliance and supply replenishment program.... everybody talks the talk...so who do you believe? Your patients...that’s who! We’ll prove it to you. Send us two or three patients and then ask your patients about the care they received and their opinion of the process... then compare the results to your existing DME provider. Talk to your staff about the interaction they have with our office. Look at our documentation. Reach out to Bill Kleiman (contact info below) to set up an inservice over lunch with your staff to go over our program and answer any questionvs you may have.

Not currently screening for Sleep Apnea?

If you are not currently screening your patients for sleep apnea and would like to learn more about how we can help you, please call.

liance Program PAP Comp

The prescribing doctor receives documentation by eFax (or electronically via EMR system integration), starting with confirmation of receipt of the referral through every touch we have with the patient. This includes a copy of the 2-page compliance reports containing our Download on Demand® data and a copy of the notes made by our clinician during a call. Our proprietary systems automate the flow of documentation keeping referring doctors completely informed about their patients’ progress and ensure physicians have the documentation they need for follow-up consultations with their patients.
