SuperScooper Firefighting Aircraft to Arrive in LA County Aug. 15
Red Flag Warnings Issued, Brown Declares State of Emergency By terry miller Los Angeles County Fire Department has secured the early arrival of two CL-415 SuperScoopers fire-fighting aircraft leased from the government of Quebec. The SuperScoopers will arrive for service in Los Angeles County on August 15 to help with the anticipated heavy fire season which is upon us.
According to Cal Fire, there are currently21 wildfires burning in the state. The National Weather Service issues Red Flag Warnings and Fire Weather Watches to alert fire departments of the onset, or possible onset, of critical weather and dry conditions that could lead to rapid or dramatic increases in wild-
fire activity. A Red Flag Warning is issued for weather events which may result in extreme fire behavior that will occur within 24 hours. A Fire Weather Watch is issued when weather conditions could exist in the next 12-72 hours. A Red Flag Warning is the highest alert. During these times
West Covina Man Sentenced to Prison for Arson A 43-year-old man was sentenced today to eight years in state prison for setting fires at several restaurant locations through-
out the San Gabriel Valley, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. At today’s court appearance, David Lin of West Covina pleaded no contest to six felony counts: five counts of arson of property of another and one count of arson of a structure in case No. KA108931. In addition to the prison sentence, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Salvatore Sirna also - Courtesy Photo ordered Lin to
register as an arson offender for life. Deputy District Attorney Elizabeth Padilla, who prosecuted the case, said Lin committed arson at numerous restaurant locations between Jan. 27 and Feb. 3. On Feb. 3, the defendant was at Ten Ren’s Tea Time in Walnut when he reportedly entered a bathroom and set the toilet on fire. After he exited the bathroom, a customer entered and noticed a fire, at which point authorities were called. Later that day, police apprehended Lin and arrested him in connection with the incident. The case was investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
extreme caution is urged by all residents, because a simple spark can cause a major wildfire. A Fire Weather Watch is one level below a warning, but fire danger is still high. The type of weather patterns that can cause a watch or warning include low relative humidity, strong winds, dry fuels, the
possibility of dry lightning strikes, or any combination of the above. During heightened fire danger, Cal Fire will place additional firefighters on duty, staff more fire engines, and keep more equipment on 24 hours a day to be able to respond to Please see page 3
As the project continues to move ahead, the Los Angeles Football Club yesterday announced to the Coliseum Commission that they have selected Legends to oversee project management for the new venue and PCL Construction Services, Inc. (PCL) as general contractor to build the to-be-developed stateof-the-art soccer stadium in South Los Angeles. The new development, which will bring $250 million in private investments to South Los Angeles, will be anchored by a new 22,000seat soccer-specific venue. The project, designed by LA-based architectural firm Gensler, will also include up to 100,000 sq. ft. of new restaurants, office space, a conference center and a firstof-its kind world football Please see page 2
Man Charged in Immigration Fraud Case A man accused of posing as a law enforcement officer and defrauding immigrant families to get their loved ones out of custody pleaded not guilty today to burglary and grand theft charges, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. Gregory Chavez (dob 1/22/64) is charged in case BA438365 with 23 counts of grand theft, nine counts of first-degree burglary, four counts of attempted grand theft, two counts of perjury and convicted felon with a firearm, and one count each of second-degree burglary and counterfeit seal. Bail was set at $1.2 million and Chavez is scheduled to return to court Aug. 11 for a preliminary
hearing setting. Dating back to September 2010, Chavez falsely promised he could help immigration detainees with their cases. Chavez, an unlicensed private investigator, often allegedly represented himself as a “special agent” who carried a badge and boasted about working with a team of law enforcement officers. Deputy District Attorney Leonard Torrealba of the Consumer Protection Division said Chavez collected about $75,000 from 21 immigrant detainees’ families but failed to provide any services. None of the detainees were ever released as a result of Chavez’s work, Torrealba added. Chavez was arrested Wednesday at his home in

Porter Ranch. If convicted as charged, Chavez faces up to 32 years in state prison. The case is being investigated by the District Attorney’s Office’s Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement

Pimp Sentenced to Prison for Human Trafficking A 32-year-old man was sentenced today to 42 years and eight months to life in state prison for trafficking several teenage girls for sex in the Long Beach area between 2006 and 2013, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. On Nov. 25, 2014, a jury found Robert Jerome Walker of Compton guilty of six felony counts: four counts of human trafficking of a minor for a sex act and one count each of dissuading a witness from prosecuting a crime and lewd act upon a child in case NA096265. Deputy District Attorney Rachel Hardiman, who prosecuted the case, said Walker was a member of a group of pimps
that referred to themselves as the Compton Division. The pimps forced teenage girls to prostitute themselves in the Compton and Long Beach areas, the prosecutor said. According to the prosecutor, Walker made each of his four victims engage in acts of prostitution by using force and threats of violence. The youngest victim was 11-years-old, the prosecutor added. The defendant, who went by the moniker “Bash Millions,” threatened one of the victims after she testified against one of his partners, defendant Rulie Sprewell in case NA092429. The case was investigated by the Long Beach Police Department.

any new fires. Cal Fire urges Californians to be extremely cautious, especially during periods of high fire danger. It’s important all residents and visitors take steps to prevent wildfires. One less spark could mean one less wildfire. The addition of the SuperScoopers - fixed-wing aircrafts that can carry up to 1,620 gallons of water and take only 12 seconds to scoop water - is a welcome sight in this drought-ridden state. They can be airborne in as little as five minutes and fly three hours before refueling. In addition, an Erickson Aircrane Type I Helitanker was also leased for the 2015 fire season. Capable of delivering 2,200 gallons per drop, it will be also placed into service on Aug. 15th. With wildfires burning across the state – exacerbated by severe drought conditions and extreme weather – Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. Monday declared a state of emergency in California to help mobilize additional firefighting and disaster response resources. “California’s severe drought and extreme weather have turned much of the state into a tinderbox,” said Governor Brown. “Our courageous firefighters are on the front lines and we’ll do everything we can to help them.” In Northern California, the Rocky fire has defied most models and computer simulations, according to California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection . The blaze, which is 12% contained, has already consumed 50 structures, including 24 homes, and 3,100 firefighters have responded to the scene. Feeding on brush and vegetation

parched by four years of drought, the wildfire at one point Saturday devoured 20,000 acres in five hours. Even seasoned fire officials appeared to be bewildered. When it broke out last Wednesday near the shore of Clear Lake, about 110 miles northwest of Sacramento, the Rocky fire appeared to be no different from the other blazes being battled across the state. Its explosive spread is seen as an alarming preview of what could happen in a drought-plagued region. In April, an aerial survey by the U.S. Forest Service estimated that about 5 million trees had died in the Sierra and Sequoia National forests, compared with 300,000 that were counted in the same area last year. Currently, more than

9,000 firefighters are dispatched across the state to battle 21 wildfires.
At least one of the major fires is thought to be arson, prompting officials lo-
cally to reiterate the slogan “If you see something, say something.”
A new California Appellate case just published August 8, 2013, “Glaski v. Bank of America”, holds that a homeowner can challenge his lender’s right to foreclose by showing that the Deed of Trust never made it into the securitized trust until after the trust’s closing date. This issue is now squarely before the California Supreme Court in Yvanova v. New Century Mortgage Corp. This is the case in most loans made in the last 12 years. If the bank foreclosed we should be able to get the homeowner money damages and/or the house back. Or a lawsuit could be filed and a court ruling obtained preventing the court from foreclosing. Recently enacted Sections 2924(a)(6) and 2924.19 of California Civil Code provide the same relief to homeowners. It is highly suggested that homeowners take this window of opportunity to get relief before the banks get Congress to close this door with national legislation. Contact us so we can help you.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank), the Ranking Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and nineteen Members of the California Congressional Delegation sent a letter to FAA Administrator Michael Huerta urging the agency to consider measures to prevent commercial and hobbyist drones from interfering in firefighting operations. Recently, as the “North Fire” threatened cars on the 15 Freeway, firefighting planes had to be rerouted because of five drones flying in the area. This is not the first instance, as it was reported that this was the fourth time in just the past few weeks that drones had interfered with efforts to fight a wildfire in Southern California. Schiff and the Members are recommending that as part of the finalization of the rule to regulate the operation of small commercial drones, the FAA should consider requiring technological measures that would prevent the operation of drones in a manner that interferes with first responders. In the letter, they write: “As commercial drones become more widespread, the U.S. Forest Service and state forestry services are likely to experience an increase in civilian operated drones interference with emergency first responders. We understand the FAA is in the process of finalizing rules to regulate the operation of small commercial drones, and we urge you to use this process to incorporate measures directed at preventing the operation of drones in a manner that interferes with first responders. We believe this review should include the possibility of requiring technological measures, such as “geofencing,” in commercially available drones that prevent them from being flown within a geographic area where they are likely to interfere with firefighting activities, as well as the study of other proven drone mitigation technologies. The FAA should also consider a campaign to ensure that civilian drone operators understand the dangers of operating drone in restricted airspace, and the potential harm that this irresponsible behavior could cause.” The letter was signed by Reps. Grace Napolitano (DNorwalk), John Garamendi (DFairfield), Scott Peters (D-San Diego), Tony Cárdenas (D-San Fernando Valley), Jim Costa (D-Fresno), Doris Matsui (DSacramento), Ami Bera (D-Elk Grove), Jared Huffman (D-San

The full letter is below: Dear Administrator Huerta: We write to express our strong concerns regarding the increased reports of civilian drones interfering with wildfire suppression activities. We urge the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to consider all the tools at its disposal to prohibit this dangerous and irresponsible use of civilian drones, which have already endangered the lives of civilians and firefighters. As you may be aware, the U.S. Forest Service, as well as the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, have had to delay or abort a number of wildfire suppression flights due to commercial drones. This happened most recently during “North Fire” near Cajon Pass when firefighting operations had to be halted shortly before the wildfire jumped Interstate 10 because of a recreational drone, causing motorists to abandon their cars and flee for their lives. First responders must have the ability to address wildfire activities quickly and be uninhibited by unforeseen circumstances, such as a civilian flying their commercial drone in the vicinity. Not only do these drones put first responder pilots’ lives at risk, they also prevent these firefighters from helping to contain wildfires and put the lives of ordinary citizens at risk. For example, a June 25th Los Angeles Times article reported that a DC-10 Air Tanker and two smaller planes were forced to divert and drop their fire retardant cargo elsewhere due to
a commercial drone flying in the area. Not only did this cost taxpayers between $10,000 and $15,000, it shut down further missions and allowed the wildfire to spread. In the early stages of a wildfire, time is of the essence and even an hour of delay can be the difference between containment or an uncontrollable burn that destroys thousands of acres and threatens lives and property As commercial drones become more widespread, the U.S. Forest Service and state forestry services are likely to experience an increase in civilian operated drones interference with emergency first responders. We understand the FAA is in the process of finalizing rules to regulate the operation of small commercial drones, and we urge you to use this process to incorporate measures directed at preventing the operation of drones in a manner that interferes with first responders. We believe this review should include the possibility of requiring technological measures, such as “geofencing,” in commercially available drones that prevent them from being flown within a geographic area where they are likely to interfere with firefighting activities, as well as the study of other proven drone mitigation technologies. The FAA should also consider a campaign to ensure that civilian drone operators understand the dangers of operating drone in restricted airspace, and the potential harm that this irresponsible behavior could cause. With California in the middle of a multi-year drought, we can expect to see more wildfires that threaten the lives and homes of many families. We urge the FAA to ensure that our first responders battling these fires are not inhibited in any way from carrying out their duties. Thank you, and we look forward to working with you on this critical issue.

Parolee Runs From El Monte PD-Surrenders A parolee ran from officers last Thursday, jumped on the roof of a business but later surrendered. One of the officers recognized the man from a previous contact. Officers checked and found out the man had an arrest warrant for a parole violation. El Monte PD said the
man jumped onto the roof of a mini market in the 2700 block of Peck Road. Police evacuated the businesses and customers in the strip mall, asked the fire department for a ladder and called for a K-9 unit and a helicopter. An officer with crisis negotiation training joined
his colleagues on the roof where the suspect surrendered without incident. Anthony Rios, 38, of El Monte was arrested on suspicion of violating parole and possession of drug paraphernalia. He is being held without bail at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles.
Rep. Chu Hosts Roundtable With Local Small Business Owners On August 5th, Rep. Judy Chu (CA-27) hosted U.S. Small Business Administrator Maria Contreras-Sweet in Pasadena to tour an area business and meet with local entrepreneurs. The visit came just one week after Rep. Chu called attention to the expiration of the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) 7(a) lending program
which provided more than $2 billion in capital to the 27th district since 1990. The House voted to increase authorization of the 7(a) program on July 27. “Small business is the backbone of our economy, creating two out of three new jobs in the U.S. The San Gabriel Valley in particular is built on small businesses and
Two Children Released From Hospital After Tree Falls on Them Two children hospitalized after a pine tree fell on them were released from Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center this weekend, according to a release sent out by Pasadena Fire Dept Lisa Derderian, spokeswoman for the Pasadena Fire Department, said the
boy was released Saturday while the girl was discharged Sunday. Both will be recuperating at home, she added. Eight children were injured when a 70-foot tall Italian Stone pine tree fell last Tuesday near the Kidspace Children’s Museum at 480 N. Arroyo Blvd. Two of
the children were taken to the hospital in critical condition. The children had finished their daycamp activities and were waiting to be picked up that afternoon. Pasadena, which has its own arborist, hired an independent arborist to investigate the incident.
our success is based on their success. This is why I believe it is so critical that SBA Administrator Maria ContrerasSweet heard directly from the exemplary businesses here today.

Wiggle Waggle Walk Time Sept. 27 Get your walking shoes on and grab a leash, it’s Wiggle Waggle Walk time! Animal lovers and their canine friends are invited to the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA’s 17th Annual Wiggle Waggle Walk – a community fundraiser for animals – at Brookside Park adjacent to the Rose Bowl. Organizers hope to raise $400,000 from the event, which will provide food, shelter and medical care to homeless animals, nearly 12,000 of which are taken in by the PHS every year. The Walk will start at 8 a.m. on Sunday, September 27. Thousands of people and their dogs are expected to take part in the walk. Form a team, join a team, or register as an individual. Walkers can choose either a one-mile or three-mile route around the outside of the Rose Bowl stadium before enjoying a free Pet Expo at Brookside Park. Participants do not need a dog to join the fun, just a desire to help animals. “The Walk is our biggest fundraiser of the year and so much fun for everyone,” says Carol Kirby, Chairman of the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA’s
Board of Directors. “It’s inspirational to see thousands of people and over a thousand dogs all gathered together to help the animals in our community.” Participants are encouraged to fundraise for the animals by creating personal web pages through the Wiggle Waggle Walk website and asking family, friends and co-workers for donations. Non-walkers, and those unable to attend the event, can also create fundraising web pages through this site. Entrants who raise $75 will receive an official Wiggle Waggle

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE T.S. No.: 14-0491 Loan No.: *******479 NOTE: THERE IS A SUMMARY OF THE INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT ATTACHED [PURSUANT TO CIVIL CODE Section 2923.3(a), THE SUMMARY OF INFORMATION REFERRED TO ABOVE IS NOT ATTACHED TO THE RECORDED COPY OF THIS DOCUMENT BUT ONLY TO THE COPIES PROVIDED TO THE TRUSTOR] YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 2/12/2007 AND MORE FULLY DESCRIBED BELOW. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check payable at the time of sale in lawful money of the United States (payable to Attorney Lender Services, Inc.) will be held by the duly appointed Trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. Trustor: SUSAN JANE STONE, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN Trustee: ATTORNEY LENDER SERVICES, INC. Recorded 2/21/2007 as Instrument No. 20070369910 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California, Date of Sale: 8/14/2015 at 11:00 AM Place of Sale: By the fountain located at 400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona, CA 91766 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $526,929.50 The purported property address is: 3611 LAS PALMAS AVENUE GLENDALE, CA 91208 A.P.N.: 5611-003-069 The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county wherein the real property is located and more than three (3) months have elapsed since such recordation. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Trustee’s 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. 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 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 714-730-2727 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.servicelinkasap. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, 14-0491 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. Date: 6/29/2015 ATTORNEY LENDER SERVICES, INC. Diane Weifenbach, Trustee Sale Officer 5120 E.

The U.S. Geological Survey awarded approximately $4 million this week to four universities – California Institute of Technology, University of California, Berkeley, University of Washington and University of Oregon – to support transitioning the “ShakeAlert” earthquake early warning system toward a production stage. USGS also provided an additional $1 million to purchase new earthquake early warning sensor equipment. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank), who helped secure the funding in both FY 2015 and 2016 for a west coast earthquake early warning system, commented: “I’m delighted to see
that the USGS has moved forward with implementation of the early earthquake warning system. It is critical that the West Coast implement an earthquake early warning system that will give us a heads up before the ‘big one’ hits, so we can save lives and protect infrastructure. We are constantly reminded of our vulnerability—with tremors, earthquakes and aftershocks rattling our homes and business—and even a few seconds of warning will allow people to seek cover, slow or stop trains, pause surgeries, and more. Congress has made clear the importance of the system and our continued commitment. But the fed-
eral government cannot, and will not, fund this system alone. It’s time for our West Coast state governments and local partners to do their part with matching funding for this invaluable system.” A limited system developed by Caltech, UC-Berkeley, the University of Washington, and the University of Oregon in conjunction with the United States Geological Survey (USGS), has already been deployed and has proven that the early warning technology is sound. It will cost an estimated $38.2 million to build out a full system for the west coast, with annual operating and maintenance costs of $16.1 million.
