Sky High Gas Prices Hit Los Angeles County; $5 a Gallon Looming
By Monday morning prices were reaching close to $5 a gallon in Pasadena.

By Terry Miller By last Friday morning, prices at the pump were already on the rise at hundreds of service stations around Southern California. A decline of more than one million barrels in gasoline inventory on the West
Coast was just one of the alleged reasons for the surge in prices, according to gasbuddy.com. Also, fuel imports into the region have dropped to zero for the first time since March, according to the
website, which cited a report from the Energy Information Administration. The average price of a gallon on gas nationally however is still cheaper than it was at this time last year, according to AAA.
Friday’s average gas prices per gallon around the region. -Los Angeles-Long Beach $3.656 -Orange County $3.625 -Riverside-San Bernardino $3.558
Accrediting Commission Places Pasadena City College Accreditation on ‘Imposed Probation’ Student Distrust of Administration Cited By Terry Miller
Once again, PCC is in the headlines. After a heated couple of years with former President Rocha, who ultimately had to leave, the school is now facing accreditation issues that could seriously affect classes in 2016-perhaps the very future of the campus. Pasadena City College’s accreditation has been placed “on probation” after reviewing the way the school is run, according to the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges. PCC Superintendent Rajen Vurdien sent the fol-
lowing email to our office on Friday evening: “Pasadena City College remains a fully accredited institution. The Commission placed the college on probation following a visit last spring. The college has to address nine recommendations which have to do mostly with implementing an integrated planning and budget model, communications and ensuring the completion of evaluations of faculty and staff.” -Rajen Vurdien, Ph.D., PCC Superintendent and President You can read the action letter as well as the
report on this site: http:// w w w. p a s a d e n a . e d u / accreditation/2015-accreditation-results-and-recommendations.html, or on our website www.pasadenaindependent.com. If the administration does not bring PCC into compliance within the next two years, the commission could terminate its accreditation, according to a letter from the ACCJC sent to Interim President Dr. Robert Miller. The college must respond by October 2016 to show that it has met the commission’s major recommendations.
ACCJC found flaws in the college’s program review, in its adherence to its own ethics policy, in its planning, and in its communication between administrators and staff. Some of the recommendations related to low morale at the community college. In a review of the college’s ethics policy, the commission found a “climate of distrust,” an erosion of “participatory governance,” and a “lack of respect” among employees. PCC instituted its ethics policy as part of Please see page 2
On Monday morning, however, gas stations in Pasadena were demanding upwards of $5 a gallon: a jump of over one dollar from Friday’s price. Please see page 3
Error on Brown Lawn Penalty Stories in Glendale The LA Times story “Gov. Jerry Brown signs bill barring fines for dead lawns during drought” has an error. It incorrectly identifies a city for issuing correction letters for brown lawns and that individual property owners could be subject to criminal sanctions. The story quotes Assemblywoman Cheryl Brown (D-Rialto) that “she is aware of several cities, including Glendale … that have levied fines…” That is an incorrect statement. The City of Glendale has not issued citations, levied fines or criminally prosecuted individuals for brown lawns. Last year the Sacramento Bee incorrectly reported the same when in fact it was the city of Glendora. That story too was corrected but many never saw the correction.
ACLU Wants to Close Prop 13 Commercial Property Tax Loopholes
When Proposition 13 was first approved by California voters in 1978, it was sold as a protection for single-family homeowners. That was, and is, a very good thing. But what voters did not fully grasp was that Prop 13 contained giant loopholes that let big corporations and wealthy commercial property owners avoid paying their fair share of local property taxes, over time shifting the property tax burden to those singlefamily homeowners Prop 13 was meant to protect. These loopholes give tax avoiders an unfair ad-

Massive Mismanagement in West Covina An audit of the city of West Covina has found severe problems of financial mismanagement including improper contracts, bad $1 million real estate transactions and poor hiring practices. The Los Angeles Times reports that an audit covering fiscal years 2011-12 and 2012-13 released Thursday found pervasive administrative and internal accounting deficiencies.
Among the 19 findings was a possible criminal violation for a street repair contract the city hired without proper bidding and a bad real estate deal where the city sold a developer land it wasn’t legally allowed to sell, costing $1 million. City officials say they agree with most of the audit’s findings and that new procedures are being put in place to fix the problems.

Sky High Gas Prices Hit Los Angeles County; $5 a Gallon Looming Continued from page 1
While gas prices nationwide are apparently on a downward trend, California is experiencing a spike that could see prices top $5 a gallon before easing again, according to analysts. A shortage in oil and other components used in refining California’s unique blend of less-polluting gas was one of the reasons for the price jump, industry analyst Trilby Lundberg said Sunday. A slowdown in imported crude and a refinery shut-down in Torrance also caused wholesale prices to skyrocket, experts said. The highest average price in the nation was $3.66 a gallon in Los Ange-
les as of Friday - a jump of 9 cents, according to Lundberg’s bi-weekly survey. But prices rose another 13 cents in a special survey conducted Saturday, she said. Patrick DeHaan, a senior petroleum analyst at Gas Buddy, told the Los Angeles Times that California had become unattractive to foreign suppliers because prices had been dropping for months. Nationwide, the average price of gasoline dropped 2 cents over the past two weeks to $2.83 a gallon. The average national price for midgrade gas was $3.05, with premium going for $3.22, according to the Lundberg survey.

recommendations made by the accrediting commission in 2009, but a review found “ample evidence that these policies are disregarded and are not enforced.” A scathing Campus Climate Survey given to the schools’ faculty in 2014 showed most believed the administration did not fol-
low its policies and procedures and that it did not operate with transparency. According to the survey, 35 percent of respondents felt PCC was “very poorly” managed. Subsequently a vote of no confidence was initiated. Barbara Beno responded to our request for comment:
Man Found Dead with Gunshot wound in Fully Involved Vehicle Fire Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide detectives are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of a man that occurred in the 8500 block of Olney Street, Unincorporated Pasadena. Detectives have learned that Temple Station deputies responded to a “vehicle fire” call. When deputies arrived at the location they observed a pick-up truck engulfed in flames. As they extinguished the fire they saw an unresponsive man sitting in the front driver’s seat and immediately removed him to safety. When the victim was out of the vehicle they discovered that he was suffering from a gunshot wound to the upper torso. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. A firearm was located
inside the vehicle by deputies. Homicide and Arson/ Explosives detectives are investigating the cause of the fire. They are not actively looking for a suspect(s). The victim’s identity will be released at a later date by Los Angeles County Department of Medical ExaminerCoroner personnel. There is no additional information available at this time. Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500. If you prefer to provide information anonymously, you may call “Crime Stoppers” by dialing (800) 222-TIPS (8477), or texting the letters TIPLA plus your tip to CRIMES (274637), or by using the website http://lacrimestoppers.org.
“Pasadena City College has a new Superintendent/ President, Dr. Vurdean, who has already contacted the ACCJC to discuss the issues at Pasadena City College that led to the Commission’s action’s decision. Dr. Vurdean is no stranger to accreditation issues. He has assured us he’ll be very aggressive
in taking action to bring the college into compliance with quality standards. He’s done this task before, for another College, and we believe he knows how to organize and move a college forward. “You can find more information about Commission’s action on the Pasadena City College website, under
‘accreditation.’ You can find more information as well on the Commission’s website, under our Directory of Accredited Institutions. “Sincerely, “Barbara A. Beno, Ph.D., President of Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges.”

Partnership Between UC Faculty and Mexican Educators Makes Algebra Accessible on Both Sides of the Border Online Bilingual Instruction Is Aligned With Mexican Requirements and Common Core, to Help Teachers Keep Immigrant Students on Track With Math Learning We have all been flummoxed by some kind of math problem, staring blankly at the instructions, muttering “It’s all Greek to me.” But what if the instructions really were in Greek, or some other language you didn’t know? That’s the situation faced by millions of immigrant students in the United States and Mexico, said Patricia Gándara, professor of education at the University of California, Los Angeles and chair of the UCMexico Initiative’s Education Working Group. In California, where bilingual instruction is largely prohibited, secondary students who don’t speak English quickly fall behind, Gándara said. By high school, most new immigrants do not have time to acquire the language skills they need to succeed in advanced classes, or even stay on track for graduation. And the problem is not confined to the United States, Gándara said. “The estimate is that 450,000 U.S.-born citizen kids are now living in Mexico, trying to go to school there. In this regard, Mexico is exactly like the United States, in that it is not clear how to address the educational needs of these students. So many either get pushed out, or become discouraged and drop out of school, which is a disaster for both countries. This is one of the greatest challenges identified by the UC-Mexico Initiative’s Education Working Group, and the intent is to try to bring these education systems into alignment so that one benefit is for the kids to not have to suffer as
a result of moving back and forth across these borders.” Patricia Gandara, the director of UCLA’s Civil Rights Project who created Project Sol speaks to Professor Manuel Rosas Verdín. Enter Project SOL, a bilingual, online curriculum designed to help students understand complex concepts in their own language, even as they are listening to a lesson in a different language. The name is a play on words, Gándara said, because “sol,” which means bright and sunny in Spanish, stands here for Secondary Online Learning. Gándara is co-director of UCLA’s Civil Rights Project, which has created Project Sol. The program has been designed to align with Common Core standards in the United States as well as curriculum requirements in Mexico, Gándara said. The goal is to make the online curriculum available for free this fall and to expand the offerings to additional math courses and sciences. The algebra course is being field tested this summer at West Adams Preparatory High School in Los Angeles, where about 55 sophomores have enrolled in an intensive, five-week program, studying algebra five hours a day, five days a week. Gándara said the only requirement for the program was that students had to be beginning English learners. The classes are taught in Spanish with introduction of English terminology, Gándara said. The program is designed to be used in a classroom, she said, because students typically need support from teach-
ers to effectively learn these concepts. The curriculum helps reinforce their English learning, she said, because the students hear the vocabulary in English and then can toggle on their computers, or look at their worksheets to see an explanation in Spanish. The students have been divided into two classes, each taught by two instructors—Jazmin Rodriguez and Edith Issakhanian, seasoned math teachers from Los Angeles, who have teamed up with math professors Manuel Rosas Verdín and Eric Pulido from the University of Guadalajara, the largest public state university in Mexico. Issakhanian said she fell in love with Project SOL last year, when she used an earlier version. In that class, she said, she did not have access to computers, but she was able to print out the worksheets that corresponded to her lessons and give them to her Spanishspeaking students. “I taught geometry and algebra, and for students who barely spoke any English, the vocabulary was pretty intense,” she said. “I could see they were overwhelmed, but the minute I gave them a worksheet and the instructions were in Spanish, they lit up and were comfortable again.” This summer, the two algebra classes have access to iPads, so the students can actually look up vocabulary words and instructions in real time while the teacher is giving a lesson. The online program also offers lots of activities to help students
Volunteers Sought by Altadena Historical Society; Introductory Meeting at 10 a.m. July 21 An informational meeting for persons interested in assisting the Altadena Historical Society will be held at 10 a.m. Tuesday, July 21, at Society archives in the Altadena Community Center, 730 E. Altadena Drive. “We have many exciting projects in progress and would welcome volunteer help in a variety of areas,” said Jean Phillips, AHS projects coordinator. “Front-desk volunteer;
scanning and cataloging photos, documents and artifacts into our Past Perfect database; interviewing longtime residents for oral histories; and researching requests we get for information about people, homes and Altadena history are just some of the areas that volunteers can assist us with,” Phillips said. “We have had high school and college students volunteering as well as working
adults and retirees,” Phillips said. “We are appreciative of any time and expertise that volunteers can give us.” The meeting will include an overview of the Society and its extensive archives, and an explanation of the projects that volunteers can assist with. Light refreshments will be provided. To RSVP, interested persons may call the Society at 626-797-8016 on Monday, Tuesday or Friday mornings.
understand the concepts. “The students love taking the quizzes; to them, it is like a game even though they are being tested on Common Core standards (in algebra) and getting prepared,” Issakhanian said. “Some of these students have never had an iPad or computer, and they are creating their first email account, so it is more than just learning math for them. They get a whole experience out of it.” Jazmin Rodriguez works with Project SOL students Nataly Delgadillo and Josue Ardon. The University of Guadalajara is excited to join this program, in part because it hopes to someday create degrees that are accredited in both the United States and Mexico, said Guillermo Gómez, executive vice president of the University of Guadalajara Foundation in Los Angeles. Gómez said the university “transformed itself” 20
years ago to better serve its secondary students in Mexico. “Before we were just concentrated in the metropolitan area of Guadalajara, so if you wanted to go to high school or study for a career, you had to leave your hometown and family and move to the city, which unfortunately for many young people was impossible,” he said. The University of Guadalajara created a 15-campus network, making it easier for students around the state to enroll in secondary school or college. In the interim, though, many potential students gave up on a higher education, Gómez said, and opted to migrate to the United States, hoping for better opportunities. The university is trying to reach out to those students, and others who live between the two countries, he said, to help them accomplish their academic dreams. These students live in a
kind of twilight zone, Gómez said, not fluent in English or Spanish, and feeling like outsiders no matter where they live. “Even when they come back to Mexico, they are seen as the ones who left. They may have lived here once, but they are not one of us anymore. So we understand that. We have to design a program that takes into account the difficulties and problems this community has had to face for the last few decades.” Collaborations with the UC-Mexico Initiative and affiliations with programs like Project SOL help bridge that gap, Gómez said, and Issakhanian agrees. When she and her fellow summer school teachers meet together, she said, “the consensus is that this is a great program. It is something I will definitely use for a long time. As a teacher, you have to be excited for a program like this, because it is so beneficial to the kids.”

Knock Drones from Fire Zones Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Glendale) and Senator Ted Gaines (R-El Dorado) July 9th announced bipartisan plans to introduce urgently needed and important new legislation that will protect forests, property and the lives of citizens and firefighters. Senate Bill 167 will make it a serious state crime to fly a drone over a wildfire. “I’m pleased to join
ence between life and death or a tract of homes going up in flames. To think that someone would interfere with firefighting efforts to get a sneak peek at the fire or to post a drone video on YouTube is an outrage that is deserving of punishment and condemnation,” said Senator Gaines. Currently, the Federal Aviation Administration typically issues temporary

with Senator Gaines to introduce legislation that will punish criminals who ignore the safety of our emergency response professionals and the people they are trying to protect,” said Assemblyman Gatto. “There can be no patience with persons or groups who would risk others’ lives in this way.” “California is a scorched, drought-dried tinderbox that is facing unprecedented fire risk right now. We need every firefighter, every shovel, every bulldozer and air tanker working together to battle wildfires. If drones are getting in the way of that effort they need to be grounded immediately,” said Gaines. Gaines and Gatto are responding to the disturbing string of reports indicating that private drones operating over wildfires have interfered with reconnaissance aircraft or tanker aircraft dedicated to containing those blazes. The planes were forced to reroute or land, in some cases having to discharge their critical, flame-retardant loads in areas not affected by fire and wasting crucial materiel. Forest Service officials have also voiced concerns that drones could interfere with the deployment and safety of the “smokejumper” crews who parachute into remote wildfire areas. “Hundreds of families in my district alone have lost homes to wildfires. In 2013, our nation mourned the deaths of 19 firefighters in Arizona who died fighting one of these blazes. One tanker drop could literally be the differ-
flight restriction over disaster or hazard areas, to protect people and property on the ground, protect the operation of disaster relief aircraft, and to prevent unsafe congestion of sightseeing or other aircraft above the disaster site. There is no state penalty for violating these federal restrictions. California law dictates that it is a misdemeanor to interfere with the lawful efforts of a firefighter or company to extinguish a fire, punishable by a fine of up to $1,000. SB 167 will charge offenders a vastly increased penalty for the violation and will also consider adding incarceration as a penalty when the offense involves unauthorized drone use. Gaines believes drones hold great promise for wildfire suppression when used properly by the agencies tasked with extinguishing the blazes. He supports the implementation of new technologies in construction materials, communications, surveillance and other advances to keep Californians safe from fire. But he had harsh words for the lone wolf operators putting lives and property at risk. “First I want everyone to know that flying drones in these areas is dangerous and wrong. Let’s get the word out as far and wide as we can – immediately – to help keep our people and firefighters safe” Gaines went on. “But this penalty will help ensure safe skies. And if we need to make it higher or add different punishment to keep these rogue drones out of fire zones then I will push for that. Public safety comes first.”

Jewish Federation of the Greater San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys Presents a New Musical, Montaigne By joseph charney
The J*Fed Players Community Theater Ensemble, under the umbrella of the Jewish Federation of the Greater San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys’ Cultural Arts Program, present their 9th production, Montaigne, a new musical by Joseph Charney. We are pleased to present this debut production. Its author, composer and lyricist, Mr. Charney is an accomplished musician, lawyer and playwright, to name but a few of his many talents. A new and unusual student appears on a High School campus just weeks before prom and graduation, changing the lives of all who meet him -- and his own. The boy, Montaigne, continuously makes observations of his fellow students, writing his thoughts about each and every one of them in his journal. As he records his reflections regarding his fellow students, Montaigne gains insights into his own
complex relationship with his parents while taking the other students on a voyage of their own discovery of who they are and what they can be. On the surface, Montaigne is a glimpse into modern High School life and a teenager’s quest to understand his roots. But
siastically punctuates the journey through this delightful musical. Montaigne will run in August at the First Church of the Nazarene (3700 Sierra Madre Blvd., Pasadena, CA). Performance dates are Saturday, August 1 at 8:00 p.m., Thursday, August 6 at
at a deeper level, it is about how we communicate with each other - face-to-face or through our machines - and the power of words, when honest, direct, and richly expressive from the heart, which help us discover who we are. The music touches every emotion, and enthu-
7:30pm and Saturday, August 8 at 8:00 p.m.Ticket prices are: $20 General, $10 Students and are available on our website at: www.jewishsgpv.org/forms. For questions, please contact Cantor Judy Sofer at jsofer@jewishsgpv.org or (626) 445-0810.

Assembly Committee Votes for Quicker Reports of Neglect or Abuse
Legislation authored by Senate Minority Leader Bob Huff (R-San Dimas) that will lead to faster reports of possible child abuse and neglect cases continues to receive unanimous support, passing out of the Assembly Human Resources Committee July 14th. SB 478, sponsored by Los Angeles County and the County Welfare Directors Association, would create a pilot program for Internet-based reporting of child abuse and neglect to child protection agencies. “The changes spelled out in this legislation are absolutely essential for the well-being of so many atrisk children,” said Senator Huff. “By virtually eliminating wait times, an online reporting system will increase efficiencies at every level of the non-emergency and emergency response services. SB 478 will be an excellent resource to help county social workers assess and respond to child abuse and neglect cases in a timely manner.”
Child welfare agencies continue to grapple with significant increases in the volume of child abuse and neglect reports being made by telephone. Some calls are placed on hold for long periods of time, often resulting in dropped calls. SB 478 creates a voluntary program for certain geographic counties, specified by the Department of Social Services and the County Welfare Directors Association, where non-emergency online reports of possible child abuse and neglect can be reported quickly and more efficiently. Nine states - Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Nevada, Tennessee and Texas currently operate online child abuse and neglect reporting systems. Their reporting shows increased efficiencies within multiple jurisdictions. “I’d like to thank Senator Huff for authoring SB 478 and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors for their support of
online child abuse reporting for selected mandated reporters, such as those in law enforcement, hospitals and schools,” said LA County DCFS Director Philip L. Browning. “As a child protection agency that handles over 200,000 phone calls every year, our agency will benefit greatly by having this online reporting option which will improve efficiency, reduce on-hold times and increase productivity for our social workers and mandated reporters.” SB 478 has earned the support of the California State Association of Counties (CSAC), the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Urban Counties Caucus, Children’s Law Center of California, and the Junior Leagues of California. Senator Huff serves as the Senate Republican Leader and represents the 29th Senate District covering portions of Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino Counties.

Sheriff Relieves More Jail Personnel of Duty and Launches Internal Investigation of Inmate Allegations of Abuse On Friday last, ten jail personnel with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department were relieved of duty and a number of others were reassigned to other duties pending further investigation. The personnel relieved of duty include two lieutenants, one sergeant, one senior deputy, four deputies and two custody assistants. “I expect every member of the Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Department to perform at the highest standards of professionalism. Immediately upon learning of troubling allegations of possible neglect of an inmate at the Inmate Reception Center, my Department’s executives relieved ten jail employees of duty, including supervisors. The investigation into this incident is ongoing and will be thorough. It will not only focus on
employee actions, but also on corrective policies and procedures,” said Sheriff Jim McDonnell. The alleged incident began when the involved inmate was booked in at the Inmate Reception Center (IRC) on June 19, 2015. Allegations included the inmate not being provided food and being handcuffed for a lengthy period of time following a force incident during which the inmate reportedly assaulted a female deputy. The inmate ate upon entry to the jail, but was allegedly restrained for approximately 32 hours; during that time he received medical attention and a cup of water. On June 27, 2015, the inmate filed a complaint and an investigation began. The complaint was brought to the attention of Sheriff McDonnell on Thursday, July 9th and a decision re-
garding personnel actions was made within 24 hours. The Sheriff’s Internal Criminal Investigations Bureau and Internal Affairs Bureau have been asked to investigate the entire matter. The Office of Inspector General and Federal Bureau of Investigation were also notified. Notification was sent yesterday to all custody personnel assigned to IRC reminding them of protocols regarding restraint, checks and feeding of inmates and additional training has been ordered. Further corrective action is pending. “I am deeply committed to providing the highest levels of constitutional care to those in our charge and will quickly address and remedy any conduct, policies or practices that do not meet this expectation and high standard,” added Sheriff Jim McDonnell.
