Memories from a radio in Baldwin Park
Registered Nurses at Huntington Hospital voice serious concerns at Thursday rally
On Thursday, November 20, 2014, the City of Baldwin Park, Department of Recreation and Community Services will host a special opening reception at the Arts & Recreation Center located at 14403-B E. Pacific Avenue, adjacent to City Hall from 4:00pm to 8:00pm. The reception is free and open to the public. Hors d’oeuvres and refreshments will be served throughout the evening. The exhibit opens November 17 and runs through December 20. Baldwin Park will explode with color when artist, Rey Armenteros, exhibits his paintings, a series of work which turns memories into fortune-telling cards. Using a unique process in which he assembles his painted memories into “flat toys,” as he views them, Armenteros describes his work as twodimensional sculptures that are built from the parts of paintings. “When I put a painting together, I attempt to get the look of bright plastic,” Please see page 5

Adam Schiff re-elected; Prop 47 passes By Terry Miller Unlike the majority of the nation, election night in California seemed to defy the odds. Democrats prevailed widely across the state in early returns. Jerry Brown gets a fourth term. One big upset, however, was Proposition 47 which voters overwhelming said YES to. This potentially means the release of 10,000 felons from state prison; reduces penalties for stealing guns. Reduces penalties for possession

On November 27, 2013, a federal warrant charging Lopez with Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution (UFAP) was issued in United States District Court in Los Angeles. Following the FTF’s investigation, Lopez was arrested by Mexican police officers working with the FBI’s Legal Attaché in Mexico City, on behalf of the Los Angeles FTF and the LASD. Lopez has remained in custody in Mexico City throughout the extradition process since that time. Lopez was escorted from Mexico by members of the FBI’s Fugitive Task Force, which is composed of agents and officers with the FBI and the Los Angeles Police Department. Lo-
pez was turned over to the custody of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and is expected to be arraigned in Los Angeles Superior Court on the state’s charges. It is anticipated that the United States government will dismiss the federal warrant charging Lopez with UFAP and that he will be prosecuted by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. Mexican authorities, to include the Police Policía Federal Ministerial (PFM) and the Procuraduría General de la República (PGR) assisted in the apprehension and extradition of Lopez. The FBI continues to work with local law enforcement to apprehend violent criminals charged with state crimes who then flee the jurisdiction interstate or internationally.

Board orders audit of alleged duplicate voter registration and irregularities A motion by Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich, unanimously approved by the Board of Supervisors, directed the Auditor-Controller to review the alleged duplicate voter registrations and other irregularities in the voter rolls and report back to the Board in 30 days on the findings. The request is a direct result of a recent report by KNBC News that identified

at least 442, and possibly thousands more, alleged irregularities in the voter role. “Even with the understanding that the process of updating or correcting voter records is complex, it is still incumbent upon the County to ensure the accuracy of voter registration, while preserving the right of every eligible voter to exercise his or her right to vote,” said Supervisor Antonovich.

to El Salvador Wednesday aboard a charter flight coordinated by ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Air Operations Unit. Upon arrival, ERO officers turned the fugitive over to representatives from the Salvadoran national police and Interpol. Rivas-Castro, a documented MS-13 gang member, is wanted in El Salvador for aggravated homicide and criminal association. Salvadoran authorities allege Rivas-Castro and several other MS-13 members shot, stabbed and then decapitated a female MS-13 member they believed informed on the gang. The murder occurred in the community of Jucuapa in eastern El Salvador in September 2011. The Salvadoran arrest warrant charging Rivas-Castro with the murder was issued nine months later. After being alerted about the outstanding warrant by Interpol, Los Angeles-based officers with ERO’s Fugitive Alien Removal Team and the U.S. Marshals Service located and arrested Rivas-Castro in downtown Los Angeles Aug. 22, 2013. He remained in custody at ICE’s contract detention facility in Adelanto pending a decision on his case by the immigration courts. In March 2014, an immigration judge ordered Rivas-Castro removed from the U.S., but he appealed the decision. In August, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed Rivas-Castro’s petition seeking a review of his case, paving the way for this week’s removal. “The allegations in this case are shocking and barbaric,” said David Jennings,
field office director for ERO Los Angeles. “But it’s reassuring to know this suspect will now be held to answer for his crimes. For its part, ICE will continue to work closely with foreign law enforcement to promote public safety and hold dangerous offenders accountable for their actions -- no matter where they commit their crimes.” The second foreign national murder suspect, Erasmo Vinicio Rosa-Mejia, 20, was repatriated to Guatemala Tuesday aboard a charter flight coordinated by ERO’s Air Operations Unit. Upon arriving in Guatemala City, ERO officers turned the fugitive over to awaiting representatives from the Guatemalan National Civil Police. RosaMejia is wanted in Guatemala for his role in the armed robbery of a shop in Olopa in October 2012 that left four people dead and a fifth seriously wounded. ICE officers and members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force took Rosa-Mejia into custody in Pasadena July 25 without incident. In September, an immigration judge ordered the former fugitive deported, clearing the way for his repatriation this week. Since Oct. 1, 2009, ERO has removed more than 700 foreign fugitives from the United States who were being sought in their native countries for serious crimes, including kidnapping, rape and murder. ERO works with ICE’s Office of International Affairs, foreign consular offices in the United States, and Interpol to identify foreign fugitives illegally present in the country.

Habib Balian sent out an email after a local paper ran a story on the shortage of cars for the new Gold Line light rail tracks. The forecast shortage of rail cars to service is a reality, according to Balian, even though the Foothill Gold Line from Pasadena to Azusa and Expo Phase
II projects are on time. Last week Metro unveiled the first of 78 rail cars delivered on time by Kinkisharyo International, the firm responsible for manufacturing the light rail vehicles for the county. Both the Foothill Gold Line and Expo Phase II projects are on time for
delivery to Metro next September. Unfortunately, based on an already aggressive schedule, Metro won’t have the 57 rail cars needed to operate both lines at full service for many months past turnover of the lines for testing and pre-revenue service, Balian said.

Former Tournament of Roses’ State Schools Chief Torlakson Rose Queen Evanne Friedmann releases physical fitness test results showing stars in coming-of-age high school thriller california students becoming more fit State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson announced that the percentage of students who met the Healthy Fitness Zone performance standards in all six areas continued to climb this year, according to the results of the 2013‒14 Physical Fitness Test. “It’s encouraging to see our students becoming more fit and healthy,” said Torlakson. “Students have to be healthy and alert to succeed in the classroom, in college, and in their careers, but also to lead a more fulfilling life. That’s why it is so important that all of us—teachers, parents and community leaders—teach our children the importance of eating right, and exercising regularly and following healthy lifestyles ourselves so we can serve as role models.” More than 1.3 million fifth, seventh, and ninth graders took the FITNESSGRAM® during the 2013‒14 school year (Table 1)—a series of six separate tests that measure aerobic capacity,
body composition, abdominal strength, trunk extensor strength, upper body strength, and flexibility. In all three grades the percentage of students who performed all six tests at the highest level increased compared to the last two years. Overall, about 26.6 percent of fifth graders, 33 percent of seventh graders, and 38.1 percent of ninth graders scored at the highest levels, called the Healthy Fitness Zone (HFZ). This represents levels of fitness that offer protection against diseases resulting from sedentary living (Table 3). The multi-year comparison is available on (Table 4). Torlakson, an avid runner and former high school cross country and track coach, demonstrated his commitment to fitness by launching a Team California for Healthy Kids initiative shortly after taking office. The initiative brings together educators, community leaders, athletes, and other celebrities to help schools offer healthy choices to students.
Students also improved in Aerobic Capacity, one of the six areas assessed annually and is considered among the most important gauges of health (Table 2). Aerobic Capacity is the ability to perform large muscle, high-intensity exercise for prolonged periods Please note that the HFZ performance standards for the Body Mass Index (BMI), one of the three body composition test options under Body Composition, were updated for the 2013‒14 fitness assessment period. Thus, current Body Composition scores cannot be compared to previous years. This is the 15th year for reporting physical fitness test results in California public schools. The program was first authorized in 1976 and reestablished in 1995 by Assembly Bill 265. The following year, the State Board of Education designated FITNESSGRAM® as the required physical fitness test to be administered to students in grades five, seven, and nine.

Two Burbank-born talents will be featured on the big screen when the acclaimed coming-of-age high school thriller As Night Comes begins its weeklong Los Angeles theatrical release at Laemmle's prestigious Music Hall in Beverly Hills on Friday November 14, 2014. The film from Illuminate Pictures, which is conveniently located in Burbank-adjacent Hollywood in the Cahuenga Pass, stars Evanne Friedmann (iCarly) and was co-written by Ryan Koehn. A then 16-year-old Ryan collaborated and cowrote As Night Comes with veteran filmmaker Richard Zelniker, lending an unwavering authenticity to the feature film. As Night Comes follows troubled new kid, Sean Holloway, who falls in with a group of teenage outcasts called 'The Misfits,' under the wing of its charismatic leader, Ricky. On the eve of Halloween, Ricky’s anarchist plan for revenge spirals out of control, culminating in brutal violence, and ultimately Sean’s fight for survival and freedom. “I think what As Night Comes portrays are realistic characters that you’d find in high school. The outcasts who don’t fit in, the more popular kids who are trying to act a certain way to be cool, and the teachers who do their best to moderate it all,” said Ryan who is currently in the USC MFA Writing for Film and Televi-

sion program and believes this film is for anyone who ever for one second hated high school, or felt like they didn’t fit in. “I think we’ve all felt at one time judged for who we are or how we feel. There’s a certain alienation that comes from that which is possibly at its peak in high school, when the worst thing you could do is stand out. Ironically, it’s after we grow up and move on that we realize that the thing that makes us stand out is the best thing about us.” Evanne, the former 2010 Tournament of Roses’ Rose Queen, who stars as Sarah, the good-girl love interest of a struggling Sean, agrees. “I can absolutely relate to the film. Identifying where you belong in High School/Middle School was a main theme for myself. I was always trying to put myself in a group. Was
I cool? Was I a nerd? An artsy kid? Did I belong with the theatre kids? Did I belong with the sarcastic kids? Was it wrong to drink at parties, or was I cool if I did that?” said Evanne who continues to study her craft at USC as well. “Hopefully, when people watch this movie, they will try to see others’ actions through that person’s eyes, and perhaps have a greater understanding that people attempt to cope with the pain in their life however they can.” As Night Comes, described by Director Richard Zelniker as “a dark, gritty look into the turbulent underworld of high school rebellion” also stars Luke Baines (The Ever After), Myko Oliver (Castle), Stacia Hitt (Neighbors) and Jesse Kove (Bunyan) among others. Following its theatrical run, As Night Comes will be available via VOD on December 5, 2014.

of “date rape” drugs. The proposition was strongly opposed by prosecutors, law enforcement, and the business community and by crime victims and sexual abuse victims. Rep.Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) who was returned by a large percentage released the following statement after being reelected to represent the 28th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives: “I’m very grateful to the voters of the 28th Congressional District for the opportunity to continue serving them. In the upcoming session, I will
again focus on restoring our economy, creating jobs, and helping small businesses succeed. It is also clear that voters are deeply dissatisfied with the paralyzingly dysfunction in Congress, and I will do all I can to find common ground with my colleagues from both parties, not only in fixing our economy, but also in the key national security challenges facing our country.” Judy Chu also beat out Jack Orswell with 58.6% despite the considerable opposition she had recently with her proposed NRA. In other election news: Jim McDonnell easily beat
Paul Tonaka for the top cop job in the county. Ed Chau garned 60.8 percent of the vote for Assembly District 49. John Chiang was elected California Treasurer. Tom Torlakson was re-elected as State Superintendent of Schools with 52% of the vote. Measure 1 Funding Water Quality passed with 66.8% of the vote. Proposition 45 Healthcare Rate Change was defeated as was Prop. 46, Doctor Drug Testing. Prop 47 passed with 58.5% of the vote. In Senate district 22, Ed Hernandez was a clear winner with 64% of the vote.

Smart Women Smart Money
By Emmy Hernandez Certified Financial Planner® Practitioner Attorney at Law Emmy, this may be a foolish question but can I put my house or another property I own into my IRA? This question is actually a rather common one. The answer is an unfortunate ‘No’. IRAs are retirement savings accounts where
monies are put in and invested tax differed for future income. Previously owned tangible assets such as real estate, jewelry or artwork cannot be placed in an IRA. For 2014, the standard contribution limit into an IRA is $5,500 per year. I don’t know of many houses worth so little. Such financial transactions are considered selfdealing and are prohibited behaviors for an IRA. So says the IRS code section 4975. I cannot determine from your question what the intent for putting your residence in the IRA would be. A living trust may be what suits your needs. But, no one may engage in an IRA transaction that benefits them in any way other than potential investment gains. Residing in a property owned by your IRA would
be in direct conflict with this. Additionally, one cannot transfer previously owned assets into an IRA in exchange for an equally valued cash withdrawal. You cannot lend money to your IRA to buy property or guarantee a loan taken by your IRA. This doesn’t mean an IRA cannot use its funds to invest in real estate. There are several avenues to do so. Investments in real estate may not be appropriate for all investors, so be sure to speak with a Certified Financial PlannerTM to discuss the benefits and any potential risks.

Putting on the Ritz in Rancho Mirage By Greg Aragon Like a castle on a hill, the new Ritz Carlton Rancho Mirage sits on a bluff above the Palm Springs desert, enchanting guests and enticing visitors. The resort, which opened this past May, is pure luxury and relaxation, rolled into a 244-room retreat, with three gourmet restaurants, three pools, a spa, gift shop, lush vegetation, incredible views and atmosphere, and much more. A friend and I began a recent getaway to the Ritz by checking into a elegant and spacious suite overlooking the town of Rancho Mirage and the Santa Rosa Mountain range. To get to the room, we strolled through a gorgeous lobby, highlighted by limestone accents, hardwood floors, a cactus garden atrium with desert plants and rocks, and a large fireplace. In the room we discovered more luxury. The first thing that hit me was a walkin shower next to a huge tub with wooden blinds looking into the main room. From the
tub, guests can watch the big screen TV or talk to someone on the bed, while taking a soak. The room also boasts a comfy lounge chair, minifridge, coffee/espresso maker, office desk with free Wi-Fi, a king bed, heated shaving and makeup mirror and plush robes. But my favorite part of the suite was the balcony overlooking the Palm Springs valley and the desert landscape directly below. From this vantage point, I could sit outside sipping wine, almost touching cactus while breathing in fragrant desert air and absorbing majestic views. Beyond the room, I found savory sustenance at the State Fare Bar & Kitchen, the resort’s Californianinspired gourmet restaurant. Featuring an open kitchen design, the State Fare serves farm, ranch and fishery items rarely available in a restaurant setting. Dining highlights include the State Fare Prime Burger with Fiscalini HopScotch cheddar with onion/ bacon jam; fresh vegetable spreads with grilled flatbread, coveted prime steaks and seafood, and à la carte Sunday Brunch. Our meal began with
house-made pickled vegetables, followed by a tasty sweet corn soup, with roasted corn and chilies and chipotle cream; and a fresh, “Salmon Crudo” appetizer with king salmon, olive oil and aleppo chile. For the main course I enjoyed large and tender scallops with red beet risotto, roasted beets and mustard greens. My friend devoured a succulent grilled flat iron steak with herb butter and a side of French fries. The State Fare Bar & Kitchen also boasts outdoor seating, overlooking the desert and mountains, and a hip, eclectic bar with cocktails using boutique spirits from small-batch distilleries, and cask-conditioned and bottled carbonated libations hand-prepared in individual batches. After dinner we explored more of the hotel property. Set on a plateau 650 ft above the Coachella Valley, the 23-acre resort was designed to keep the Ritz Carlton’s signature brand of glamour, while also incorporating the inherent beauty of the surrounding California desert. Throughout the interiors and the exterior grounds, there is an emphasis on natural,
soft earth-toned colors, tactile materials, stacked stone, limestone, woods and coppers, all mixed with native plants and trees, and water features. The architecture captures a seamless transition between the hotel and landscape. One of the my favorite spots at the resort is the fire pit located next to the resort’s long, rectangular reflecting pool. Here, with the valley floor spread out beneath, guests can sip cocktails and take in the beauty of Rancho Mirage, which is one of the
most exclusive towns in the Palm Springs area. Another great spot is the Ritz-Carlton Spa, where I had a rejuvenating full-body massage. The full-service spa offers unique treatments such as a Diamond Hydration Lifting Facial, a Quiro Golf Massage, Spirit of the Mountains body treatment for one or two, Hammock Massages, and a gentleman’s Rat Pack Facial using black diamond dust. The spa occupies a freestanding structure with an out-
door terrace waterfall, cliff-top yoga/meditation mesa, and a fitness center with TechnoGym equipment, OMNIA workout circuitry, yoga, Pilates and one-on-one assisted stretching. For outdoor lovers, the resort also offers great hiking directly from the perimeter of the hillside property, with guided morning nature walks available for guests.

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 (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 018138-CA.
