Clarifying protections against retaliation in the workplace awaits Governor’s signature Assemblymember Roger Hernández announced AB 2751 passed the Assembly Floor on a 53-1 concurrence vote. This measure makes a number of clarifying and clean-up changes to AB 263 (Employment retaliation: immigration-related practices) signed into law last year. “Last year, with the passage of my bill AB 263 employers are prohibited from using immigration status against workers who exercise their rights under the California Labor Code or local ordinances. This year, AB 2751 makes a number of clarifying changes to AB 263 to continue protecting workers against intimidation by any employer,” said Hernández. AB 2751 makes it unlawPlease see page 3

Public urged to use extreme caution due to drought conditions CAL FIRE offers fireworks safety this Fourth of July

With the Fourth of July holiday on its way and summertime road trips on the minds of many California drivers, the California State Board of Equalization (BOE) announced today that starting July 1, 2014, the excise tax rate on gasoline will go down to $0.36 per gallon. The new rate of $0.36 – down from $0.395 – was reached after the Board voted unanimously at its February 2014 meeting to lower the rate for the 2014-2015 fiscal year, which ends June 30, 2015. While Californians will be paying less in state excise tax at the pump starting July 1, that doesn’t necessarily mean it will translate into lower gasoline prices. Other factors, such as world crude oil prices, also affect California’s gasoline prices. “I wish we could lower the excise tax rate on gasoline even more, and that it would result in a corresponding decrease in gas prices,” said BOE Chairman Jerome

Many Californians and visitors will be celebrating our nation’s independence this July 4th holiday with fireworks but CAL FIRE urges extreme caution during California’s drought emergency. It can take hundreds of thousands of gallons of water to control

a large wildfire. Effective July 1, 2014, CAL FIRE Chief Ken Pimlott ordered a ban on open burning throughout the 31 million acres of state responsibility area protected by CAL FIRE due to the elevated threat of wildfire caused by the drought emergency.

Also unveils new LCFF funding snapshot

Local educational agencies can now see the highly anticipated first official calculations of $42 billion in school funding they will receive under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson announced today. The calculations for school districts and charter schools are displayed in the traditional funding exhibits, plus a new “LCFF Funding Snapshot.” “California’s new funding formula puts more deci-

sions about education funding where they belong—in the hands of schools, parents, and teachers—and dedicates more resources to students most in need,” Torlakson said. “The information we are providing today will help administrators, teachers, and parents as they work together to help all students succeed.” The LCFF was enacted as part of the 2013 Budget Act and provides a new method of funding local educational agencies (LEAs). LEAs now receive

base funding for all students and additional funding if they serve students who are learning English, in foster care, or are low income. For most of this current year, LEAs have been receiving funds based on estimates by California Department of Education staff, while the state agency reprogrammed its systems and LEAs gathered and reported the data required to do the new LCFF calculations.

Film and Television Job Creation Act passes final policy committee AB 1839, the California Film and Television Job Retention and Promotion Act of 2014, cleared a major legislative hurdle today, passing the Senate Governance and Finance Committee by a vote of 6-0. The legislation, authored by Assemblymen Raul Bocanegra (D-Pacoima) and Mike Gatto (D-Los Angeles), and co-authored by more than 65 other legislators, would expand and improve the state’s current program to keep production jobs in California. “I remember when our communities lost all the good aerospace jobs,” said Gatto. “Losing major employers really harms local families and our state economy. This effort is a rare example of government taking proactive steps to ensure well-paying jobs stay in our communities.” California’s film and television industry has faced increasing competition in recent years from subsidies by other states and countries. Since its creation in 2009, the Cali-

more pedestrian-friendly and sustainable community,” said Michael Nilsson, Senior Mobility Planner in the City’s Community Development Department (CDD). The Public Works Department will work closely with CDD to plan, design and construct the City’s first Green Street Demonstration project. It will consist of the installation of trees, bioswales within curb extensions and midblock crossings within the project area, focusing on improving water quality, pedestrian safety, and aesthetics in the area. One specific project proposed as part of the grant is an enlarged pedestrian crossing with a new landscaped parkway on the southern end of Harvard Street at Maryland Avenue. This

improvement will result in a shortened pedestrian crossing that will directly connect the proposed main entrance of the Central Library with the Marketplace Parking Garage, further enhancing improvements associated with Central Library’s renovation. The estimated cost of the demonstration project is approximately $2.9 million. Additional funding sources have been identified including $1.9 million in State of California Gas Tax Funds, which will be utilized to complete the project. It is anticipated that planning for the project will occur from late 2014 through mid-2015, with construction of the project to begin sometime in midlate 2015.

ful for any employer to threatened or file a false report with any state or federal agency. Also, the $10,000 civil penalty enacted in AB 263 is to be paid directly to the aggrieved worker who filed the claim. Last year, AB 263 was signed into law which allows a civil action by an employee or other person who is the subject of an unfair immigrationrelated practice, and would authorize a court to order a suspension of the business license for up to 14 days of a person who violates these provisions for a first violation, up

to 30 days for a second violation, and up to 90 days for a third or subsequent violation. This bill also protects against retaliatory practices such as an employer to e-verify a worker, or even re-verify the worker. Immigrant workers are more likely to experience wage and work hour law violations. Approximately 76 percent of immigrant workers worked off the clock without pay, while over 85 percent did not receive overtime pay. AB 2751 now heads to the Governor’s Desk to await his signature.

The Monterey Park Press has been adjudicated as a newspaper of general circulation in court case number ES016580 City of Monterey Park, County of Los Angeles, State of California.

The City of Glendale received a $997,900 grant from the California Strategic Growth Council to create a Green Streets Demonstration Project in the downtown area. The project’s scope includes Harvard Street between Brand Boulevard and Isabel Street, and on Louise Street between Maple Avenue and Wilson Avenue. Project funding is possible through the Proposition 84 Urban Greening Grant, which primarily focuses on improvements to storm water and “greening” of urban environments. Forty grants were awarded out of 184 project proposals received from across the state. “Glendale’s ability to secure this competitive grant is a testament to the City’s commitment to creating a

fornia Film and Television Job Retention and Promotion Act prevented as many as 51,000 well-paying jobs from leaving the state, and helped generate $4.5 billion in economic activity. Despite the program’s success, figures from the U.S. Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics show that from 2004-2012, California lost more than 16,000 film- and television-industry jobs, resulting in more than $1.5 billion in lost wages and economic activity. “We can’t sit by and watch a $17 billion dollar a year sector of our economy leave California,” said Bocanegra. “This expanded and improved program will go a long way towards making California more competitive with other state’s programs. I appreciate the Committee’s support of AB 1839 today and look forward to seeing it continue through the legislative process and ultimately protect California jobs.” The bill now goes to the Senate Appropriations Committee.

NASA sets new dates, media coverage for saucer-shaped test vehicle flight NASA's Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator (LDSD) project plans to fly its rocketpowered, saucer-shaped landing technology test vehicle into near-space from the U.S. Navy's Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) on Kauai, Hawaii, later this week. NASA has identified five potential launch dates for the high-altitude balloon carrying the LDSD experiment: June 28, 29, 30, July 1 and 3. The launch window for Saturday, June 28 extends from 8:15 to 9:30 a.m. Hawaii Standard Time (11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. PDT / 2:15 to 3:30 p.m. EDT). The test will be carried live via Ustream and simulcast on NASA Television. The vehicle originally was scheduled for its first test flight earlier in June, but unacceptable weather conditions prevented the launch. On launch attempt days, journalists are invited to PMRF to watch the liftoff and flight. Journalists who did not previously acquire base clearance but would like to attend the event must arrange access in advance by contacting the U.S. Navy's Pacific Missile

Reporters who have previously received access clearance from the U.S. Navy for the LDSD launch also are invited to return, but must contact Alford by 11 a.m. on Friday, June 27, to have their access to the facility reactivated. Reporters must arrive at the PMRF main gate, each balloon launch attempt day, no later than 7 a.m. for escort onto the base. Journalists should

follow the LDSD mission website for daily launch window dates and times. Reporters will be escorted off the base following the balloon launch. Decisions to attempt launch of the LDSD test will be made the day before each launch opportunity date. NASA will issue launch advisories via the mission website, media advisories and on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/ NASA_Technology and https://twitter.com/NASA.

change thing was part of the new regime because we’re doing so many different things here, besides the speedway,” Stokes said. “Things like car shows, the X Games … yesterday, we had 200 people going to the stockcar school. And besides Saturday night races we have our advanced driving dynamics thing. It’s a street survival school.” And while NASCAR racing every Saturday night from April through October is still the center’s bread and butter, Stokes said there is another type of racing that brings fans out in droves. “We’re called the House of Drift,” he said. “There’s a big drift event every year. It sells the place out, 20,000 people. They kind of make a bunch of smoke and turn cars sideways. It’s an acquired taste, but it’s cool.” Stokes added he really can’t believe how big drifting is getting. And it’s really good for the center. “We have a deal where guys come out – we’re not training them – but they come out and do some practice and we had 850 pay 10 bucks a person and watch drift guys practice,” he said. “They can talk to them and (the drivers are) like heroes. Almost 20 cars came to practice.” He added weekly drag racing is also big at the center. “(Recently,) we had a couple hundred cars and a couple thousand people

watching,” he said. “It’s just amateur people who are having fun driving their cars an eighth of a mile – which is only 660 feet – against the lights.” While NASCAR races were not run during the 2012 season, Stokes said that was the lone aspect of the center that took a year off. “We never really closed,” he said. “There was a transitional period a few years ago when our former operators filed (for bankruptcy). The fella now who has the master lease on everything – whose name is Jim Cohan – had the driving school. “The day (of the bankruptcy) he went to the property owners and talked to them about keeping the driving school going. He had bookings he needed to keep … We did this in a partnership with the property owners and we had the drag strip. That never shut down.

We didn’t run NASCAR racing for one year, but we came back with NASCAR racing the next year with all the full services.” Stokes said while the fans were somewhat upset for the 2012 season being cancelled, they have come back, and that’s partly because there is no other paved short track in Southern California where racing junkies can get their fix. “They all were bummed there was no NASCAR racing … Paved racing went away in Southern California for a year,” he said. “There was (Auto Club Speedway), but that’s two big races a year, not the weekly thing. We have 18 nights of NASCAR and 40 nights of drag racing.” (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com. He can be followed via Twitter @segallanded.)

a fire caused by your activities.” California has a zero tolerance for the sale and use of illegal fireworks. Illegal fireworks include sky rockets, bottle rockets, roman candles, aerial shells, firecrackers and other types that explode, go into the air, or move on the ground in an uncontrollable manner. It is illegal to sell, transport, or use fireworks that do not carry the “Safe and Sane” seal, as well as possess or use any fireworks in a community where they are not permitted. If convicted, a violator could be fined up to $50,000 as well as sent to jail for up to one year. There are nearly 300 communities within California that allow “Safe and Sane” fireworks. “Every year CAL FIRE and fire departments across California respond to fireworks-related incidents that hurt people and cause dam-

age to property and natural resources, ” said State Fire Marshal Tonya Hoover, CAL FIRE – Office of the State Fire Marshal. “If you are going to use fireworks, check with your local fire department first to make sure they are allowed in your area. If they are, use only fireworks that carry the State Fire Marshal’s ‘Safe and Sane’ seal.” CAL FIRE is asking the public to take the following precautions: • First check that fireworks are allowed in the area of use • Make sure the firework has the State Fire Marshal “Safe and Sane” seal • Purchase only from legitimate organizations authorized to sell • Have a bucket of water, sand or garden hose available at firing site • Read all instructions before use

• Never alter, modify or enhance fireworks – use only in the manner intended • Make sure fireworks have proper clearance from flammable materials including dry grass and brush CAL FIRE has already responded to over 2,500 wildland fires this year, a large increase in the average number of fires for the same time period. Residents are urged to visit www.ReadyforWildfire. org for tips on how to prepare their homes and family for wildfire. The website also links to important water saving tips, a resource critical to the control of wildfires. Governor Brown has called on all Californians to reduce their water use by 20 percent and prevent water waste – visit saveourH2O.org to find out how everyone can do their part, visit drought. ca.gov to learn more about how California is dealing with the effects of the drought.

On June 18, 2014, the Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District and the San Gabriel Valley Water Company partnered together to present the Baldwin Park City Council with a $100,000 water efficiency grant for retrofit of the Barnes Park Splash Pad. Director Bryan Urias, representing Division 5 of Upper District, which includes the City of Baldwin Park, was joined by Dan Arrighi, Water Resources Manager for the San Gabriel Valley Water Company, for the joint check presentation to the city council. With this grant, the City of Baldwin Park will retrofit the existing spray pool at Barnes Park with a water recirculating system that will reduce the city’s water usage at the site. “Saving water is very critical, especially in times of drought,” stated Director Urias before the council. “We must do everything we can to reduce our overall consump-

tion of water so that we may weather these dry times and preserve the precious resources we have.” Construction of the project is currently underway and is expected to be completed in early August 2014. Once completed, the retrofit will allow the Barnes Park Splash Pad to operate as a more water efficient system. The new water efficient pump is anticipated to save approximately 25,000 gallons of water per day, which equates to an approximate city saving of $8,000 per year in water costs. Despite significantly less water being used each day, the Barnes Park Splash Pad will continue providing the residents and children of Baldwin Park with a fun and safe activity to enjoy the cool waters on hot summer days. The water efficient retrofit of the Barnes Park Spray Pool will serve as a model to the greater community showing that the

City of Baldwin Park, Upper District, and the San Gabriel Valley Water Company are committed to making conservation a part of everyday life. Upper District’s mission is to provide a reliable, sustainable, diversified and affordable portfolio of high quality water supplies to the San Gabriel Valley; including water conservation, recycled water, storm water capture, storage, water transfers and imported water. Upper District services nearly one million people in its 144 square mile service territory. Governed by a five member elected board of directors, Upper District is a member agency of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. Annually, more than 78 billion gallons of water is used in Upper District’s service area.

The state Legislature appropriated $2.1 billion toward the LCFF transition effort, which is included in the $42 billion in LCFF calculations released today. An additional $4.75 billion is slated for LCFF transition in the 2014-15 school year, which represents a significant investment in California public schools. The LCFF Funding

Snapshot provides people a “one-stop shop” to find information and is a significant step toward transparency and accountability. Instead of visiting several different Web pages, people may download the new LCFF Funding Snapshot from one Web page. The document provides a concise twopage summary of the main components of the LCFF transitional funding. The report provides information on each LEA’s attendance, LCFF entitlements, and funding sources. The data are also translated graphically in color-coded charts.

The LCFF Funding Snapshot may be downloaded as a Portable Document Format or exported into an Excel spreadsheet. The California Department of Education completed the reprogramming of its systems and developed the LCFF Funding Snapshot through existing staff and resources. To access these reports for school districts and charter schools, visit the LCFF Funding Snapshot Web page.

Student access to quality computer science education prevails Assemblyman Curt Hagman’s (R-Chino Hills) computer science education bill, Assembly Bill 1539, was unanimously passed by the Senate Education Committee, with a vote of 5-0. AB 1539 would encourage the Instructional Quality Commission of the Department of Education to develop content standards for teaching computer science in grades K-12 and recommend them to the State Board of Education for adoption by July 31, 2019. “I would like to thank

the members of the committee for their support of this measure,” stated Assemblyman Hagman. “Guaranteeing that computer science education is being taught throughout our schools is critical given the growth and influence of California’s technology sector. Content standards in computer science will ensure that students are equipped with the necessary tools to be successful in this industry. I am glad that we are one step closer to establishing these standards.”

Currently, enrollment in computer science in California is extremely low, as is continued interest in the subject. In 2010, only 4,500 computer science degrees were awarded in California public schools, while there were over 27,000 new computing and technology jobs in California alone. These fields are among the fastest growing in the nation and the demand for a qualified workforce emphasizes the need for more robust computer science standards in California.

Sierra Madre Civic Club participates in the Fourth of July Festivities With the Fourth of July fast approaching Sierra Madre’s Fourth of July Committee is finalizing plans for two days of festivities. The Sierra Madre Civic Club has again volunteered to coordinate the Fourth of July games. At 11:00 AM, following the parade, there will be a community picnic and celebration in Sierra Vista Park, 611 E Sierra Madre Blvd, Sierra Madre. The games will begin at 12:30PM. Participants will take part in everything from three-legged races, sack races, wheelbarrow races, and the bunny hop (for ages 6 and under) to the shoe toss, the egg (not hard-boiled!) toss and the water balloon toss. Chair Pat Alcorn emphasizes that the games are for the entire family since with the exception of the bunny hop, all the races and the shoe toss have different contests for participants in different age groups. Indeed, some of our fiercest competitors last year were the adults while the kids were the ones who laughed the

most. The egg toss and the water balloon toss are for competitors of all ages and, as the messiest of the contests, generally attract the most participants and elicit the most shouts and laughter. Ribbons will be awarded to the winners in all age groups, but really, everyone who participates comes away with a smile looking for all the world like a winner. In addition to coordinating the games in the Park, the Sierra Madre Civic Club will again be selling their famous (at least in Sierra Madre) confetti eggs- hollowed out egg shells, filled with confetti, and covered with tissue paper. Look for Club members in Memorial Park on July 3, pulling a little red wagon along the parade route on July 4, and in Sierra Vista Park at the community picnic and celebration. The confetti eggs will cost $1 for a half dozen, $2 for a dozen, and $3 for a carton of 18 eggs. Buy early before we run out so you don’t miss the fun of hitting someone with an

Rep. Schiff op-ed in the Advocate: Ride on in the fight against HIV and AIDS By Adam Schiff Published June 23, 2014 Life-changing, moving, inspiring – just some of the words that my constituents used to describe the AIDS/ LifeCycle ride when I announced that I would be a cyclist on the 545-mile bike ride down California’s coast. They were right, and then some. Let me tell you how this story began. I have the honor of representing a large LGBT community, and I had been to the Los Angeles LGBT Center and seen the amazing work it does every day. It is no exaggeration to say that the center not only improves the lives of my constituents but, in many cases, has saved those very lives. The ALC ride benefits the L.A. LGBT Center and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. To some, this is a disease that is on the decline and is becoming less deadly — but the reality is much different. While dramatic improvements have been made in treatment and prevention, there are still more than 1.1 million people in the United States living with HIV, more than 30 million worldwide, and another 50,000 are diagnosed every year. While the quality of life and longevity of those with HIV have improved dramatically since the early days of the epidemic, the disease still compels our dedication to fight here and around the world. A little more than a year ago, Lorri Jean — the incredible executive director of the L.A. LGBT Center — invited me to speak at the closing ceremony of ALC, dedicated to the riderless bicycle. The riderless bicycle is a deeply moving and potent symbol for those that we’ve lost to AIDS, who can no longer take the ride. I remember reading the script and being touched so deeply: “As this riderless cycle passes you, please take the hands of those around you. As our connection builds, it symbolizes our strength not only to remember, but to come together to ensure that the lives we’ve lost are not lost in vain.” Afterward, as I talked with the riders and constituents who had participated, I remember thinking that if the legislative calendar ever allowed me to participate in the ride, I would love to do so.

As fate would have it, and much sooner than I expected, I discovered that this year’s ride coincided with a district work period without votes in Congress. So I signed up with only a few weeks to prepare. The ALC takes months of training, a good working relationship with your bike, and enough time to raise a respectable amount of money for a good cause — eradicating AIDS in our lifetime and supporting those living with HIV. I batted an impressive 0-3 on all counts. While I had done several triathlons over the last few years and was a regular biker, the races I had done were only Olympic distance — meaning the biking component was only 25 miles. On the ALC, we would be biking an average of 80 miles a day for seven days, and clocking over 108 on day 2 alone. I was seriously unprepared. On top of that, the bike that I rode during training for the ride never made it to San Francisco, so I would be setting out on this trek on a bike without even knowing how many gears it had. Nonetheless, I set off. What an adventure. From an early start at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, we made for the coast — almost 2,500 riders and a host of roadies who did everything from set up camp, haul gear, prepare food, and take care of medical needs to cheer and inspire us all the way. It was an extraordinary group and an incredible production. We road through hills and scenic valleys, along the coast to Half Moon Bay and on to Santa

Cruz, then it was off to farm country — Salinas and Atascadero — before returning to the coast of Ventura, down to Malibu and concluding in West Los Angeles. At night we camped on the beach, at county fairs or state campgrounds. We ate our meals together, compared injuries together, mourned accidents together, told “war stories” and off-key jokes. And we were inspired together, by the beauty of the state which we appreciated all the more because it came with each hard-earned revolution of our wheels, and by the grit and wit of our fellow riders and roadies. We were a traveling community, raising an impressive $15 million to fight HIV and AIDS, with many riders sporting bicycles adorned with laminated photos of lost loved ones. Last year, Lorri Jean told me the story of a mother who had disowned her son when he revealed to her that he had AIDS and was dying. That mother later came to recognize the tragic nature of that decision. That story, more than anything else, made me want to ride. His pain, dying alone and without her. Her pain, losing a son, and the agony of her regret. At the top of one of the last big hills of the ride, a simple sign said, “Your pain is tribute to their suffering.” To me, that said it all — let’s put an end to HIV and AIDS. Ride on. REP. ADAM SCHIFF (D-Calif.) serves as the vice chair of the LGBT Equality Caucus in Congress and represents the 28th Congressional District.

The Social Whirl

California successfully concludes field test of new assessments, State Schools Chief Tom Torlakson announces

Arcadia Women's Club

More than 3 million students participate in trial run of modern computer-based tests to be in place next year Smarter Balanced Field Test has concluded, capping 12 weeks of test-driving new computer-based assessments that will be fully operational next year, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson announced. More than 3.1 million California students—among four million nationwide—took part in the tryout of the new assessments. “Thanks to this trial run, California’s students and schools are headed into our new assessments next year with confidence about what they can expect,” Torlakson said. “The field test gave us an opportunity to measure the quality of test items, determine our technological readiness, and experience a whole new way of testing. Now we know that the system as a whole is in very strong shape, and we know where local challenges lie in time to address them.” Student responses from California, 20 other states, and the Virgin Islands will undergo a rigorous evaluation process to gauge the accuracy and fairness of the nearly 20,000 test questions before the Smarter Balanced assessment becomes operational in the spring of 2015. This is to ensure that the Common Core-aligned assessments are valid, reliable, and fair measurements of college- and career-readiness for all students. The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) is enlisting participants who will help determine achievement levels, also known as performance levels, for each grade and subject area through both an In-

Person Panel and an Online Panel. SBAC will convene approximately 500 educators from the member states to determine these levels. Like other member states, the California Department of Education (CDE) and California higher education segments have recruited California educators to be included in the SBAC In-Person Panel. The selected participants will be assigned to a specific segment depending on their content area expertise, experience, and/or grade levels taught. The Online Panel will allow for broad participation by parents, teachers, school and district administrators, college faculty and administrators, and business/community leaders. Participants must register prior to September 19 at the Online Panel for Achievement Level Setting Web page. In addition, the CDE will be distributing post-testing surveys and conducting focus groups to provide a look into local educational agencies’ experience with the testing systems, best practices, and perceptions of readiness for online testing in 2015. Various stakeholders will be included in the surveys and focus groups, including district and county testing and technology coordinators, teachers, parents, and students. Results will help determine what additional resources or assistance might be needed to prepare for future online testing. During this spring’s trial run, students in grades three through eight and most eleventh graders, plus a sampling of ninth and

tenth graders, completed tests in English-language arts and mathematics based on California’s Common Core standards. The new standards were adopted by California in 2010 to encourage critical thinking, complex problem solving, and deeper knowledge of subjects. Students also engaged in performance tasks, which were extended activities that measured their ability to integrate knowledge and skills across multiple standards—a key component of collegeand career-readiness. Each school had been assigned a six-week window during which students took the test that was estimated to take approximately 3.5 hours per student to complete. The test was administered over multiple sessions of 45-minutes each or in shorter or longer sessions as appropriate for the students and the school. No student, school, district, or statewide scores will be produced from this year’s assessment. Rather than a sampling of students, California tested all of its eligible students, resulting in the largest field test by far of any participating state in the nation. The state had sought and was subsequently granted a waiver by the federal government in March that allowed it to forego the usual state accountability assessments thus avoiding a “doubletesting” of its students. For more information, please visit the California Department of Education Spring 2014 Smarter Balanced Field Test Web page or the Smarter Balanced Field Test Questions and Answers Web page.

Gas prices Continued from page 1

E. Horton. “But the adjustments, authorized by the Legislature and administered by the Board of Equalization, are mandated to be revenue neutral, and historically have shown little impact on the overall price consumers pay at the pump.” The adjustment of the excise tax on gasoline stems from laws enacted in 2010 known as the “fuel tax swap” (AB x8 6 and SB 70). The

swap requires revenue neutrality, meaning motorists pay no more or less state tax on gasoline purchases than they would have paid prior to the swap. The new laws lowered the sales tax on gasoline to 2.25 percent and raised the excise tax by an amount projected to equal the sales tax that otherwise would have been collected under the old tax structure (see graphic at above for ex-

ample and watch this video www.boe.ca.gov/taxprograms/excise_gas_tax.htm). The excise tax rate – set by March 1 of each year for the coming fiscal year – is based on estimates of projected price and gallons to be purchased provided by the Department of Finance and IHS Global Insight, an internationally-recognized firm that provides economic and financial data.

Emmy, I updated my IRA’s beneficiary after reading your column. Thank you. Now I’m considering adding my granddaughter as a secondary beneficiary, after my wife. Do you foresee any potential problems? I appreciate the positive feedback. Let me reiterate the importance of keeping IRA beneficiary forms up to date. Many events may require beneficiary changes: retirement, marriage or divorce, new children or grandchildren, or converting to a Roth IRA. Beneficiary forms can get lost, forgotten or neglected over time. Also, longtime account holders sometimes make changes that effectively open new accounts with new account numbers. When no beneficiary form is located, the IRA may have to go through probate court.

Don’t rely on your financial institution’s recordkeeping; keep personal copies of all your financial documents. IRA owners should give their heirs copies of beneficiary forms ahead of time, because missing the RMD deadline for an inherited IRA imposes an onerous 50% penalty. Now, to address your question: The devil’s always in the details and I don’t know enough about your particular situation. Generally, your wife as your beneficiary has more flexibility when assuming control of your IRA. She can remain the beneficiary and easily access the account if she’s younger than 59 ½. Alternatively, she can rollover your IRA into her preexisting or newly created IRA and postpone mandatory distributions until she’s 70 ½. The rules remain the same as if this account were hers all along. She will pay a 10% penalty for withdrawing before 59 ½. When the beneficiary of an IRA is not a surviving spouse, a few new rules come into play. First, your granddaughter cannot rollover your IRA directly into her name. The IRA must be retitled to indicate that this is now an inherited IRA. If funds are moved into a new IRA account, your granddaughter must initiate a "trustee to trustee" transfer. Otherwise, the IRS will

consider the transfer as a total distribution subjected to full taxation and effectively ending the IRA. Non-spouse beneficiaries must begin taking distributions by Dec. 31 of the year after inheriting. However, your granddaughter can stretch the withdrawals across her own life expectancy. Smaller withdrawals taken over many years can allow the IRA's pretax value to increase and postpone taxable distributions. Finally, your wife can chose to disclaim your IRA as her inheritance. She has up to 9 months after your passing to do so. In this case, ownership would transfer to the contingent beneficiary - assumably your granddaughter. This option would postpone the need to make this important decision now. Your family could delay assessing the pros and cons affecting your IRA’s transfer (e.g. Generation Skipping Taxes) until the time comes. For a more specific answer, contact a qualified financial advisor. Please email questions to smartwomen@ehfinancial.com or call my office at 626943-8833. Informational purposes only.

Assemblymember Chris Holden (D-Pasadena) recognized Kyle HausmannStokes of Pasadena as the 41stAssembly District’s Veteran of the Year. Kyle Hausmann-Stokes is a former U.S. Army Staff Sgt. who served five years in the Army’s Airborne Infantry and as a Squad Leader and Convoy Commander during a yearlong combat tour in Iraq. Hausmann-Stokes was awarded the Bronze Star for his actions under fire. “I am proud to honor Kyle Hausmann-Stokes for his heroic deeds in combat and his continuing efforts to aid his fellow soldiers who are struggling to adjust following their return from combat,”

said Assemblymember Holden. “We owe Kyle a debt of gratitude for his service to our nation both on the battlefield and at home.” After returning from Iraq, Hausmann-Stokes entered the directing program at USC School of Cinematic Arts. He later founded a film/video/ web production company (blue3llc.com) through which he has produced a wide variety of commercials and PSAs for large-scale campaigns and national television broadcast, primarily for the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs. One of Kyle’s first films (“Now, After”), is an autobiography about

his struggles with postdeployment readjustment, and is nationally recognized as one of the most powerful short films about PTSD. Kyle is frequently booked to exhibit the film and give keynote presentations about PTSD to various institutions and organizations within the academic, law enforcement and government sectors. Most recently, Kyle co-founded VFT: Veterans in Film & Television (vftla. org), an educational and networking nonprofit for current and former members of the military working in the entertainment industry, and remains highly active with its programs, events, and growing 1,500+ membership.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at

the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (888) 988-6736 or visit this Internet Web site: salestrack. tdsf.com, using the file number assigned to this case A544558 A. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney.

On July 31, 2014 at 09:00 AM, Vineyard Ballroom at Doubletree Hotel Los Angeles-Norwalk, 13111 Sycamore Drive, Norwalk, CA 90650, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded on December 9, 2005 as Instrument No. 05 3021856 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California, executed by SANDRA L MENDOZA, A SINGLE WOMAN, as Trustor(s), MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. as nominee for ENCORE CREDIT CORP, A CALIFORNIA CORPORATION as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 13611 RAMONA PARKWAY, BALDWIN PARK , CA 91706 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $510,191.62 (Esti-

mated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address www.
