Hunter Biden pleads not guilty in Los Angeles to tax charges By Fred Shuster, City News Service

veteran with a known history of suicidal thoughts showed up at a St. Louis hospital before dawn one morning and was left unmonitored in an exam room for hours. Another was deemed at risk of suicide by a hospital psychiatrist in Washington, D.C., then forcibly discharged, even as he tried to stay, by the same hospital’s emergency department. Another still in Pittsburgh was assigned a behavioral health nurse who failed to complete thorough suicide screenings or review his suicide safety plan, and didn’t follow up when he said he wished he was dead. In all three cases, independent inspectors documented serious failures by the Department of Veterans Affairs. And in all three cases, the veterans involved went on to kill themselves or other people. The lapses were similar to ones examined by ProPublica Jan. 6 in an investigation of the VA’s handling of two veterans with serious mental disorders. Both suffered for years with inadequate care from the same clinic in Northern California, they told reporters. Their stories ended in tragedy. The problems appear to be systemic. Over and over, the hospitals and clinics in the VA’s sprawling health care network have fallen short when it comes to treating people with mental illness. That conclusion emerges from a ProPublica review of all of the reports published by the VA’s inspector general since 2020. That includes 162 regular surveys of facilities and 151 investigations that were triggered by a complaint or call to

the office on a wide variety of alleged health care problems. Issues with mental health care surfaced in half of the routine inspections. Employees botched screenings meant to assess veterans’ risk of suicide or violence; sometimes they didn’t perform the screenings at all. They missed mandatory mental health training programs and failed to follow up with patients as required by VA protocol. One in 4 of the reports stemming from calls or complaints detailed similar breakdowns. In the most extreme cases, facilities lost track of veterans or failed to prevent suicides under their own roofs. Sixteen veterans who received the substandard care killed either themselves

or other people, the review revealed. An additional five died for reasons related to the poor care, such as a bad drug interaction that the reports say could have been prevented. Twenty-one such deaths is a meaningful count even for a health care system that has more than 9 million people enrolled, in the view of Charles Figley, a Tulane University professor and expert in military mental health. The VA has struggled with mental health care for decades, he said. “It’s a national disgrace.” For grieving family members, it is incomprehensible. “It was never my expectation that [the VA was] going to solve his problems,” said Colin Domek, the son of See Mental health Page 12

the veteran in Pittsburgh. “My expectations were that someone who was saying ‘help me’ would receive some kind of help.” The inspector general reports reviewed by ProPublica have limitations. The individual investigations can be narrow. The reports offer only broad suggestions as to whether individuals should be held accountable for breakdowns and provide little sense of whether they actually were. Even together, they don’t capture the full reality of the VA’s 1,300 health care facilities. But they do start to assemble a meaningful picture of the system’s most chronic shortcomings when it comes to treating people

ne day after Hunter Biden’s appearance on Capitol Hill at a committee meeting over whether to hold him in contempt of Congress, President Joe Biden’s son pleaded not guilty Thursday in Los Angeles federal court to unrelated tax charges. Hunter Biden was charged in an indictment returned Dec. 7 on nine federal tax charges for allegedly refusing to pay his taxes, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Biden, 53, of Malibu, “spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle rather than paying his tax bills,” the indictment alleges. The president’s son appeared in the federal courtroom in downtown Los Angeles for a combined arraignment hearing and status conference in the case. “We’re here today because you’ve been accused of a criminal offense,” U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi told the defendant, who appeared relaxed in a dark suit as he sat between his two lawyers. Asked if he understood the nature of the charges, Hunter Biden answered, “Yes, your honor.” A throng of TV cameras awaited Biden’s appearance outside the courthouse. About three dozen reporters watched the arraignment in the judge’s seventh-floor courtroom and in a nearly empty overflow room. See Hunter Biden Page 23

Probation officers on ‘ordered absence’ after incident at juvenile hall By City News Service

ight Los Angeles County probation officers are on leave Thursday following a “significant incident” involving them and detained juveniles at Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall in Downey, Chief Probation Officer Guillermo Viera Rosa announced. Rosa said he was notified Jan. 4 by Eric Strong, the department’s chief safety and security officer, of the incident that occurred in December. No details were released on the nature of the occurrence. Citing anonymous sources, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday that the officers were disci-

plined for standing by idly and allowing a teen detainee was beaten by a group of other youths. One source told the paper the victim of the attack suffered a broken nose and had to be hospitalized. Rosa said Wednesday the eight probation officers were immediately placed on “ordered absence” until further notice. “Sharing this information publicly is an important step forward in my commitment to bring new leadership, transparency, and accountability to the probation department,” Rosa said. “I am committed to providing a safe and secure environment that

gives the youth committed to our care a clear path to rehabilitation. “We are actively identifying and removing those who do not align with our core values and standards to eliminate the negative influences within our organization.” To maintain the integrity of the investigation, the department’s Internal Affairs Office will not be involved in the investigation, Rosa said. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna has agreed to Rosa’s request that the sheriff’s department conduct an independent investigation, Rosa said. The probation department cannot comment

Man faces federal charges of pimping a teen girl in SoCal By City News Service

harges against a 33-year-old man accused of human trafficking of a 15-year-old girl were dismissed Wednesday in Orange County Superior Court because federal prosecutors are taking over the case. Jamaal Neal Curry was charged Nov. 22 by the Orange County District Attorney’s Office with human trafficking of a minor and pimping and pandering for a prostitute younger than 16, all felonies, but that case was dismissed Wednesday, according to court

records. Curry was arrested in Mission Viejo at Crown Valley Parkway and the San Diego (5) Freeway following a traffic stop by Orange County sheriff’s deputies on Nov. 20. On Tuesday, a complaint for transportation of a minor in interstate commerce for prostitution was filed in federal court in Santa Ana. According to an affidavit filed by Homeland Security Special Agent Joe Fenty, Curry was arrested with the victim in the passenger seat of the Chevrolet Cruze the defendant was driving.

When deputies searched the vehicle they found $566 in cash as well as a bag of women’s lingerie and condoms and a Motel 6 key card, Fenty said. Curry told investigators he was on probation in Nevada for pimping and pandering, Fenty said. The victim told investigators she had been working as a prostitute since she was 14, Fenty said. She met Curry in Las Vegas through another woman, who saw the victim crying in a casino, according to the affidavit. The woman intro-

duced the alleged victim to Curry, who allegedly began pimping the teen in Las Vegas. Curry and the teen also had sex multiple times, Fenty alleged. The teen asked Curry to take her to Los Angeles to work as a prostitute there, but she was actually trying to contact her mother, Fenty said. The two set out for Los Angeles, but the plan changed to drive to San Diego. Along the way they stopped at a motel in San Bernardino, where the two had sex again, Fenty

alleged. The two did then go to Los Angeles where they bought marijuana and

Xanax. Then they set off for San Diego and along the way were stopped in Mission Viejo, Fenty said.

Tataviam Tribe gets back over 500 acres of LA County land By City News Service

banking group is donating more than 500 acres of “historic ancestral land” in northern Los Angeles County to the Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians, officials announced Wednesday. Land Veritas, a Californiabased mitigation bank owner, is donating the land to the Tataviam Land Conservancy, a nonprofit organization formed by the tribe in 2018. Tribe officials said the donation marks the first time in more than a century that they will regain ownership and stewardship over a portion of their original territory. The conservancy will explore ways to further preserve the land, which is

adjacent to an environmental mitigation bank, including a permanent conservation easement. A small portion of the acreage includes unpaved roads and a building pad that the tribe plans to use for educational instruction. “We are deeply grateful to Land Veritas and (Land Veritas President) Tracey Brownfield for reconnecting us to our ancestral territory,” Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians President Rudy Ortega Jr. said in a statement. “The significance of this donation goes beyond property ownership. It’s a restoration of heritage and a commitment to environmental stewardship.” The tribe’s homeland

once spanned more than 1.5 million acres, extending from the Antelope Valley to the Pacific Ocean. By 1900, however, tribe officials say they were rendered “landless” through “unjust land dispossession.” “Protecting this land and preserving its natural splendor from development have been personal priorities for me,” Brownfield said. “I firmly believe there’s no better steward or protector of this land than the tribe. Their profound respect for the environment and cultural legacy makes them the most deserving custodians of this cherished landscape.” More information about specific plans and uses for

the land will be shared by The Tataviam Land Conservancy and the Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians at a later date as part of their 2024 planning. Wednesday’s announcement builds on the tribe’s recent agreement with California State Parks to formalize cooperation within the tribe’s ancestral lands. The Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians is a native sovereign nation of northern Los Angeles County composed of a coalition of lineages originating in the Santa Clarita, Simi, San Fernando and Antelope valleys. The Tribal Administration Office is in San Fernando.

total of 145 firearms were confiscated by security checkpoint personnel at five Los Angeles-area airports last year, prompting a warning Wednesday from law enforcement officials for gun owners to familiarize themselves with the rules governing travel with weapons. “Travelers should know that TSA can levy a civil penalty for bringing a firearm to a security checkpoint,” Transportation Security Administration Federal Security Director Jason Pantages told reporters during a news conference at Los Angeles International Airport. “The amount of the penalty, which can be as high as $15,000, depends on whether the firearm was loaded. And 87% of the firearms discovered here at LAX are loaded.” Authorities said 145 firearms were brought to TSA checkpoints last year at LAX, Long Beach Airport, Hollywood Burbank Airport, John Wayne Airport in Orange County and Ontario International Airport. LAX led the way, with 81 firearms discovered, up five from the previous year. Nationwide, more than

Mom of YouTube star Piper Rockelle seeks dismissal of young influencers’ suit By Bill Hetherman, City News Service

lawsuit filed on behalf of 10 young social media influencers alleging sexual battery, negligence and other claims against their former manager — Tiffany Rockelle Smith, the mother of 16-year old YouTube personality Piper Rockelle — should be dismissed, Smith’s lawyers argue in new court papers. The Los Angeles Superior Court complaint names as defendants Smith, her business Piper Rockelle Inc., and Hunter Hill, identified in the suit as the 20-something live-in boyfriend of the 42-year-old Smith and the primary director, editor and cinematographer of Piper Rockelle’s content for her YouTube channel. In court papers filed Wednesday with Judge Michael P. Linfield, defense attorneys maintain that the plaintiffs were helped rather than harmed by their association with the defendants. “There is no doubt that plaintiffs took advantage of Piper and used her influence to grow their own media presence and YouTube channels,” the defense lawyers maintain in their court papers. According to the suit, however, the plaintiffs were never fully compensated for their work, despite the fact that their contributions, including the use of their names, images and likenesses on Piper’s YouTube channel generated several hundred thousand dollars per month for the defendants. The allegations in the amended suit originally filed in January 2022 include sexual battery, civil conspiracy, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violation of common law right of publicity, intentional interference with contractual relations and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage. The suit seeks at least $2 million in compensatory damages, plus punitive damages. “These kids have been taken advantage of financially and in some cases physically and sexually abused,” plaintiffs’ attorney Matthew S. Sarelson said in a previous statement. “This lawsuit seeks to remedy the egregious conduct of Piper’s handlers. YouTube has created an enormous opportunity to create wealth, but there’s always going to be people gaming the system to harm competitors. Our clients are just kids. They’re good kids with big futures. A part of their childhood, a part

of their innocence, has been stolen.” The suit alleges Smith inappropriately touched one female plaintiff often, including rubbing her exposed thighs and moving her hand toward her private parts and constantly spanking her buttocks. Smith also once tried to spit in the same plaintiff’s mouth and on her face when Smith was on top of her after the girl awoke morning, the suit alleges. Smith many times boasted to the plaintiffs and others that she is the “Madam of YouTube” and a “Pimp of YouTube” and that she made child pornography, the suit states. During a trip to a local post office with another plaintiff, Smith, after mailing several of her daughter’s soiled training bras and panties to an unknown individual, said, “Old men like to smell this stuff,” according to the complaint. After their alleged experiences with Smith, the plaintiffs left to either focus on building their own YouTube channels, collaborating with each other or other individuals on video content, or exploring and honing other talents such as singing, dancing, social media influencing, entrepreneurship and acting, according to the suit. But in their court papers, the defense attorneys maintain the plaintiffs’ mothers had a concrete plan in place: “Plaintiffs’ mothers, the quintessential stage moms ... plotted to take down Piper and her family in order to increase their own children’s social media presence by, among other things, publicly humiliating Piper and targeting her mother.” The plaintiffs’ mothers’ scheme “knew no bounds,” according to the defense attorneys’ court papers.

“Not only did they falsely accuse Smith of engaging in improper conduct with minors, but they coached and encouraged other witnesses to also make up stories that would cause the most embarrassment and make them cancel her — which is exactly what happened because Google demonetized Piper’s YouTube channel shortly after plaintiffs publicized their stories,” the defense lawyers maintain in their court papers. In a sworn declaration in support of the dismissal motion, Smith denied any wrongdoing. “I did not expose plaintiffs to lewd or otherwise inappropriate conduct or acts at my home,” Smith says, adding that she always emphasized transparency. “On those occasions when filming occurred at my home, plaintiffs always had the consent of their parents and there were always other adults present, including plaintiffs’ own parents, who were responsible for the supervision and care of their children,” Smith says. When Smith heard or saw bad behavior or discussion among the children, Smith told them to stop right away, she says. Between 2018 and the time the plaintiffs stopped collaborating with Piper, Smith did not receive any complaints from the young influencers or their parents, Smith says. Smith says she never dabbled in child pornography. “I do not know how to embed a video on a porn site and I would never embed anyone’s video or content on a porn site,” Smith says. “I soon discovered that this was happening to Piper as well. I have no idea who embedded plaintiffs’ or Piper’s videos on porn sites.” Hearings on the defense dismissal motions are scheduled March 26 and 28.

Hand-, footprints of Japanese rock star Yoshiki unveiled at Chinese Theatre By City News Service

he handprints and footprints of the rock star Yoshiki were unveiled Tuesday in the forecourt of the TCL Chinese Theatre, nearly four months after he became the first Japanese artist to put them in cement. “Sometimes, my hands feel very fragile. Sometimes, my hands feel very strong. So does my heart. I’ve been going through some kind of mental upheaval, but my fans bring me back to a positive place,” Yoshiki said at the 11 a.m. ceremony. Born Yoshiki Hayashi on Nov. 20, 1965, in Tateyama on Japan’s largest island Honshu, Yoshiki is a rock drummer, composer and

classically trained pianist. Yoshiki and lead vocalist Toshi, a friend since their childhoods, formed the rock band X in 1982, which has sold more than 30 million albums, singles and videos and sold out the 55,000seat Tokyo Dome 18 times, according to its website. The group changed its name to X Japan in 1992, broke up in 1997, reunited in 2007 and performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2018. X Japan released its first single in eight years in July, “Angel.” Yoshiki formed the supergroup The Last Rockstars in 2022 with X Japan lead guitarist Sugizo, Hyde,

the lead vocalist of the rock band L’Arc-en-Ciel and duo Vamps, and the guitarist Miyavi. The group is scheduled to perform at YouTube Theater at SoFi Stadium on Aug. 29. Yoshiki’s projects have included a song dedicated to the 10th anniversary of former Japanese Emperor Akihito’s reign in 1999 and the official theme song for the Expo 2005, which was in Nagoya, Japan. Yoshiki performed with an orchestra at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood in October, the same month he also performed at the Garden Theater in Tokyo, Royal Albert Hall in London and Carnegie Hall in New

York City. Yoshiki is the designer of the high-fashion kimono brand Yoshikimono. He joined Napa Valley-based winemaker Michael Mondavi in launching the Y by Yoshiki wine brand in 2009. Yoshiki directed the documentary film, “Yoshiki: Under The Sky,” which premiered Sept. 5 in Tokyo and features live performances by The Chainsmokers, St. Vincent, Sarah Brightman, Scorpions, Hyde, Sugizo, the Japanese boy band SixTones, Jane Zhang, Lindsey Stirling and Nicole Scherzinger. It will be streamed on Prime Video beginning in May.

DA declines to charge pitcher Julio Urías with felony; misdemeanor possible By City News Service

he District Attorney’s Office declined to file any felony charges against former Dodger pitcher Julio Urías stemming from his September arrest outside BMO Stadium in Exposition Park on suspicion of domestic violence, but he could still face a possible misdemeanor case. County prosecutors referred the matter to the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office for consideration of whether a misdemeanor charge is warranted. A spokesman for the City Attorney’s Office told City News Service on Wednesday that the office had not yet received the case. Urías, who became a free

agent at the end of the 2023 season, was arrested Sept. 3 by Exposition Park police following a much-publicized soccer match between LAFC and Inter Miami — featuring star Lionel Messi — at BMO Stadium. He was released the next morning on $50,000 bail. According to a District Attorney’s Office charge evaluation worksheet dated Tuesday, the alleged victim in the case was Urías’ wife, who was not identified. “They engaged in an argument whereby the defendant pushed the victim against and fence and pulled her by the hair or shoulders,” according to the document.

“Neither the victim’s injuries nor the defendant’s criminal history justify a felony filing. The case is accordingly referred to the city attorney for misdemeanor filing consideration.” The 27-year-old Urías was placed on administrative leave by Major League Baseball days after his arrest, and the Dodgers issued a statement saying the team was cooperating fully with the investigation. “The Dodgers take all allegations of the kind in this case very seriously, and we do not condone or excuse any acts of domestic violence,” the team said. Urías was 11-8 during

the 2023 season with a 4.60 earned-run average. He began his Major League Baseball career with the Dodgers in 2016, and has a lifetime record of 60-25 with a 3.11 ERA. He was suspended for 20 games in 2019 by MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred for an incident in the parking lot of the Beverly Center on May 13 of that year. TMZ reported that a witness called police saying that Urías was arguing with a woman and shoved her to the ground. Officers responded to the scene and spoke with the woman, who denied anything physical took place, insisting it was nothing more

than a heated argument. Urías was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor

domestic battery in that incident, but no charges were filed.

Radio station KBLA to lead $2M Climate Justice Campaign By City News Service

lack-owned media company SmileyAudioMedia is set to launch a new $2 million, 12-month climate campaign aimed at empowering communities of color, among other goals, it was announced Friday. SmileyAudioMedia’s flagship LA-based radio station, KBLA Talk 1580, will lead the effort in collaboration with public and private partners such as the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Metro, the Port of Los

Angeles, CalEndow, California Community Foundation, the Sierra Club and the South Coast Air Quality Management District. Other partners are expected to be announced later on during the campaign. “The harsher impacts of climate change weigh heavily on communities of color,” Tavis Smiley, KBLA’s chief visionary officer and host of the nationally syndicated “Tavis Smiley” show, said in a statement. “In these underserved communities, families

are less likely to have air conditioning, shade trees, bus shelters, water and energy effective appliances and other infrastructure that’s critical to mitigate a changing climate.” A news conference was scheduled for Friday at 10:30 a.m., at the MLK Memorial Tree Grove inside Kenneth Hahn State Park to offer more details on the initiative. The Climate Justice Campaign aims to center the voices of communities of color in the climate

conversation, connect at-risk fellow citizens with advocacy organizations, increase climate health literacy and highlight frontline climate justice advocates of color. During the next 12 months, there will be a robust schedule of climatethemed broadcasts and special programming, as well as four free community events per quarter, two town halls broadcast nationally from Los Angeles, and a social media and marketing campaign,

according to the statement. Going Public PR, a Black-owned and femaleowned communications and branding agency, will lead the coordination of the events. “As the most `trusted, credible and reliable’ media source in Southern California for African Americans and beyond, our talk station is committed to do more than just talk in these troubled times,” Smiley added. “There is a clear connection between Dr. (Martin Luther) King’s

moral consistence on the notion of reverence for human life or the interconnected nature of life and the future of our world house.” He continued to say that on this MLK holiday weekend, “KBLA assigns itself the task of elevating the climate conversation by amplifying the voices of those who are most impacted by the climate catastrophes we are all witnessing in real time. In a real sense, climate is king.”

AARP California honors advocate for people experiencing homelessness

hursday, AARP honored a California woman whose journey to the U.S. inspired her to open a shelter for people experiencing homelessness. Betty Kwan Chinn escaped persecution and homelessness in China decades ago and fled to Hong Kong and then the U.S. Chinn said many people welcomed her with open arms, so she decided to find a way to give back. “I tell myself somehow, sometimes, I will do something good for this country,” Chinn explained. “Because people are so kind to me.” Chinn settled in Eureka and started feeding people experiencing homelessness out of her own pocket after noticing her son’s classmate was always hungry. Her nonprofit, the Betty Kwan Chinn Homeless Foundation, now feeds 500 people per day. She oversees five shelters, including a small housing village made from old shipping containers, plus a day center with a commercial kitchen and wraparound services. Chinn’s shelters employ 22 people and all but two are former clients, giving them a chance to pay it forward. “I really like to volunteer,” Chinn noted. “I encourage anybody and get yourself the chance to do something for other people. You never know how you affect other people.

ontinuing their awards season dominance, “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” were among 10 films nominated Friday for the coveted Producers Guild of America Award for motion pictures, which traditionally foretells success on Oscar night. Also nominated for the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures were “American Fiction,” “Anatomy of a Fall,” “The Holdovers,” “Killers of the Flower Moon, “Maestro,” “Past Lives,” “Poor Things” and The Zone of Interest. The PGA honor is traditionally a strong indicator of which film will win the best picture Oscar. Since the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences expanded from five to 10 nominees in 2010, only four films have won the best picture Oscar without first winning the PGA Award. For animated films, PGA Award nominations went to “The Boy and the Heron,” “Elemental,” “Spider-Man:

Across the Spider-Verse,” “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.” For television programs, PGA nominations for drama series producers went to “The Crown,” “The Diplomat,” “The Last of Us,” “The Morning Show” and “Succession.” For comedies, nominations went to “Barry,” “The Bear,” “Jury Duty,” “Only Murders in the Building” and “Ted Lasso.”

Limited or anthology series scoring nods were “All the Light We Cannot See,” “Beef,” “Daisy Jones and the Six,” “Fargo” and “Lessons in Chemistry.” The 35th annual PGA Awards will be presented Feb. 25 at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Hollywood.

Higher education spared huge cuts in Gov. Newsom’s budget proposal By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service

ducation advocates in California say they’re breathing a sigh of relief after higher ed was spared big cuts in Gov. Gavin Newsom’s new budget proposal. The governor’s office projected a $38 billion budget deficit, which it said will be resolved through a mix of reserve funds and budget trimming. “Gov. Newsom’s budget proposal really upholds his commitment to maintaining investments in K-12 and in higher ed,” said Jessie Ryan, executive vice

president of the Campaign for College Opportunity. “The budget proposal largely protects students from devastating cuts.” The budget does, however, cut a loan program designed to help universities and colleges build more affordable student housing, and it reduces the MiddleClass Scholarship funding by $289 million. Newsom’s proposal also does not include funds for the Cal Grant equity framework, which would have given an extra 150,000 lowincome students access to

Cal Grants. Ryan said the cost of college is a huge obstacle for many families. “Families are questioning the value of college,” she said. “An expansion of financial aid funding would have been a really important tool to provide lowincome, first-generation students and students of color with some certainty that college is within reach.” Newsom’s proposal also cuts a $300 million state contribution to a new immunology research facility planned at UCLA.

UCLA adds sports leadership, management program By City News Service

he UCLA Anderson School of Management announced Monday the creation of a Sports Leadership and Management Program. University officials said the program, which will begin this spring, is designed to provide inspiration, education and access to graduate and undergraduate students, including student-athletes interested in pursuing careers in the global business of sports. The UCLA Sports Leadership and Management Program will be housed in UCLA Anderson's Center for Media, Entertainment & Sports and offer a sports leadership and management specialization for MBA students as well as courses tailored to UCLA's undergraduates, including its more than 700 student- athletes, according to the university. UCLA alum Andy Campion will serve as program director, leveraging

his nearly three decades of experience in the sports and entertainment industries, including working for 17 years in executive leadership positions at Nike Inc., where he's still employed, and 11 years with the Walt Disney Co. He also serves on the boards of the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics organizing committee (LA28), Starbucks and the SpringHill Company. Campion and his wife Shelby, who made a donation to support the new program at UCLA, are also minority owners of Real Salt Lake of Major League Soccer and the Utah Royals of the National Women's Soccer League. "Shelby and I have long believed that education, engagement in sport and financial opportunity are what everyone needs and deserves to live their best possible life," Campion said in a statement. "The ecosystem of sports is massive, growing and dynamic, while also

serving as an inspiring and unifying cultural force. Our ambition is that this program will connect UCLA's diverse and talented students, on a broad scale, to the economic opportunity and potential for social impact offered by a career in the business of sports." Campion is working with Professor Sanjay Sood, faculty director of the Center for Media, Entertainment & Sports, on the syllabus for the program's first course, to be offered later this academic year. The program is expected to support faculty research, beginning with a white paper series that will address how to grapple with strategic issues in the sports industry, university officials said. Additionally, part of the program will include events that bring members of the sports industry together as a community for student access. "We could not ask for better partners in the

creation of this innovative new program than the Campions," UCLA Anderson Dean Tony Bernardo said in a statement. "Together, we aim to build an unparalleled program that will benefit not only our students, but also our hometown of Los Angeles and the global sports and entertainment communities." According to UCLA, the

program will include strategic partnership initiatives with organizations such as LA28 to support the Olympics; executive education courses with Real Madrid football club; and programs with Los Angeles' professional sports teams. UCLA officials noted that the university boasts 121 NCAA championships and its students have earned 270

Olympic medals, according to the university. Working in close collaboration with UCLA's renowned athletics program and drawing on the strength of Los Angeles' sports and entertainment industries, the program will afford unparalleled access to leaders across the ecosystem of sport, school officials stated.

California schools to benefit from federal grant to buy electrical buses By City News Service

our school districts across the state, including the Los Angeles Unified School District, are set to benefit from a federal grants program to invest in electrical school buses, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced Monday. The EPA announced the selection of 67 applicants throughout the country to receive nearly $1 billion through its Clean School Bus Program Grants Competition. In total, California was awarded $88 million that will support LA Unified, Kern High School District, Porterville Unified School District and San Diego Unified School District. The program is intended to help grantees purchase more than 2,700 clean school buses in 280 school districts, serving over 7 million students across 37 states. "Every school day, 25 million children ride our nation's largest form of mass transit: the school bus. The vast majority of those buses run on diesel, exposing students, teachers, and bus drivers to toxic air pollution," Vice President Kamala Harris said in a statement. She added, "As part

of our work to tackle the climate crisis, the historic funding we are announcing today is an investment in our children, their health, and their education." Additionally, the program is intended to strengthen the economy by investing in American manufacturing and workforce. The Clean School Bus Program — created through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and modeled after the Clean Commute for Kids Act that Sen. Alex Padilla, D-California, introduced in 2021 — is expected to provide $5 billion over five years to support the transition to zero-emission and low- emission school buses. Over 400,000 public school buses travel more than 4.3 billion miles each year to help 23.5 million children get to and from school, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "A successful day of learning for our students starts with a diesel-free commute each morning," Padilla said in a statement. "I've seen firsthand the harmful health and respira-

tory impacts polluted air from outdated buses can cause our children, having grown up riding dieselpowered school buses in Pacoima." "Modernizing our bus system is a crucial investment in our children, our health, and our environment. That is why I championed the inclusion of the Clean School Bus Program in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which is now helping California schools make the much-needed transition to electric bus fleets," he added. According to Padilla's office, through the funding, LAUSD is expected to acquire 50 electrical buses; Kern High School District is expected to acquire 39 buses; Porterville Unified is expected to purchase 35 buses; and San Diego Unified is expected to purchase 30 buses. Two third-party companies that contract with California school districts to provide bus services also received grants. Zum Services, Inc., received funding for buses for the Los Angeles Unified, San Francisco Unified, Alameda Unified and Oakland Unified School

Districts. Also, First Student, Inc. received funding for buses for Long Beach Unified School District, Palm Springs Unified School District, Riverside Unified School District, Fallbrook Union, Orange County Department of Education, and Los Angeles County Office of Education. Prioritized school districts in low-income, rural, and/or Tribal communities make up approximately 86% of the projects selected for funding, accord-

ing to the EPA. "Today we're once again accelerating the transition to electric and low-emission school buses in America, helping to secure a healthier future where all our children can breathe cleaner air," EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan said in a statement. Grantees will work with their EPA Regional Project Officers to finalize project plans and purchase their awarded new buses and eligible infrastructure. The EPA is also partner-

ing with the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation to provide grantees with robust technical assistance to ensure effective implementation. The EPA is currently accepting applications for the 2023 Clean School Bus Rebate Program until Jan. 31. EPA encourages applicants not selected for the 2023 Clean School Bus Grant Program — and those that did not apply — to participate in current and future funding rounds.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of the outstanding lien 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.

JANUARY 15- JANUARY 21, 2024

Mental health with mental illness. The VA declined requests for an interview for this story. In a statement to ProPublica, VA press secretary Terrence Hayes said “there is nothing more important to VA than providing highquality mental health care to Veterans” and that the agency was “grateful” to the inspector general’s office for its oversight. He noted that last year, more than 80% of veterans who participated in VA surveys reported being satisfied with the mental health care they received through the agency. In a separate statement, VA Inspector General Michael Missal said, “Our reports have repeatedly illustrated that it is critical that [Veterans Health Administration] leaders remain vigilant to problems, ensure care is coordinated, and take swift, responsive actions that address root causes and promote accountability.” The VA’s health care system is the nation’s largest. The agency operates about 170 medical centers and 1,100 outpatient sites, and it provides counseling services at some 300 facilities known as vet centers. In the last fiscal year, the VA provided mental health services to about 2 million veterans, according to agency figures. The system has notable strengths. The VA has played an important role in developing treatments for conditions such as posttraumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury, and provides critical training opportunities for psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers nationwide. But the number of suicides among veterans has remained stubbornly high, ticking up to 6,392 in 2021, the most recent year in agency statistics. And acts of violence by veterans with mental illnesses have continued making news, including two mass shootings in Atlanta last year alone. Experts told ProPublica the failures revealed in the inspector general reports point to broad problems, including inadequate mental health staffing, outdated policies and the inability to enforce high standards across a large, decentralized health care network. “It’s a very sad thing,” said M. David Rudd, a psychology professor at the University of Memphis for whom the Rudd Institute for Veteran and Military Suicide

Prevention is named. “You can sit here today and predict with great accuracy how many deaths there are going to be over the next five years. Yet there are unlikely to be any meaningful, significant changes.” When there are allegations of patient care issues, mistakes or policy violations inside a VA health care facility, it is often up to the agency’s independent inspector general to investigate. The office can then write a report explaining what happened and offering recommendations for improvement. Facilities typically follow the recommendations. The inspector general’s reports don’t name the veterans or any doctors or nurses — a deliberate choice intended to protect their privacy. They obscure gender and specific dates, too. In several cases, however, ProPublica was able to match details from the reports with information contained in news stories or lawsuits and interview the veteran’s relatives. One of those cases involved Kenneth Hagans, a 60-year-old father of four who served as a private in the Army in the early 1980s. In September 2021, Hagans showed up at the John Cochran Veterans Hospital in St. Louis complaining of bladder problems and depression, records show. By then, he had been receiving care at the facility for more than two decades and treated for substance abuse and suicidal thoughts. The nurse who first saw Hagans that morning determined he was not at risk of self-harm. But instead of using the computer to call up a questionaire to assess his risk of suicide, the nurse recited the questions from memory, then left Hagans unmonitored in an exam room. The nurse claimed to have notified the on-call physician, who was “resting” on a stretcher in another exam room when Hagans arrived, according to the inspector general report on the case. But video footage did not support that claim, the report said. A second nurse alerted the physician an hour after Hagans’ arrival. But the physician was feeling the effects of a vaccine and slow to respond, the physician told investigators. An hour after that, Hagans was found dead in the exam room. He had used a cord to take his own life. The inspector general

report, which was published in June, found that the nurse had failed to monitor Hagans and that the nurse and physician were responsible for a delay in his care. It also raised questions about the quality of the suicide screening Hagans received. (Later, when asked by investigators to recall the questions on the assessment by memory, the nurse could not, records show.) Additionally, the report drew attention to an email sent by an emergency department leader regarding the inspector general’s investigation into Hagans’ death. “Everybody needs to know this is NOT the opportunity to air grievances,” the leader wrote to a staff physician. “The [inspector general] will be trolling for evidence of leadership and administrative malfeasance that allowed a veteran to kill himself in our [emergency department]. Appropriate responses to direct questions are: yes, no, I don’t know, and I don’t remember. BOOM!” The inspector general recommended that the medical center standardize its processes for suicide screenings and monitoring patients — and that local leaders in St. Louis investigate the possible interference in the inspection. In a written response to the report, facility director Candace Ifabiyi did not challenge any of the inspector general’s findings and said she agreed with the recommendations. Hagans grew up as one of eight siblings in Hammond, Louisiana. As a kid, he hopped onto trucks bound for New Orleans and hung out in the French Quarter. He saw an opportunity in the Army, his son Graie told ProPublica. But in the years that followed, he struggled with drug addiction and homelessness. He was in and out of his children’s lives. Hagans never talked about any traumatic experiences he had while serving in the military, Graie said. But in 2017, he started getting help for posttraumatic stress disorder stemming from that period in his life. The treatment, which he got through the VA, was making a difference, Graie said. “He was learning about the impact of PTSD on his life,” he said. “Some things were making more sense about his behavior.” Graie was stunned to learn the circumstances of his father’s death, he said. His call with a hospital official that day raised

questions. Shouldn’t the VA hospital system that treated his father for psychiatric issues have been familiar with his mental health history? Shouldn’t the staff have kept an eye on him? Hagans’ death could have and should have been prevented, Graie contended. “There’s an institutional and structural failure if what happened to my dad can happen inside a VA hospital,” he said. In a statement to ProPublica, the VA St. Louis Health Care System expressed its “deepest condolences to Mr. Hagans’ family and friends.” The statement added that health system leaders had established standard policies for suicide screenings and monitoring patients, and initiated “appropriate personnel action” for individuals involved in the case. The health system declined to share specific details. Hagans’ case was not an anomaly, ProPublica’s review of records found. Many of the breakdowns in care involved problems with screenings for the risk of suicide and violence. Screenings are simple; they generally entail asking a patient a few questions about their thoughts and actions to assess their potential of self-harm or violence. But research has shown they can help save lives. Screenings played a key role in the case of Nicholas Domek, a former Army engineer and demolition expert whose three decades in the military included serving overseas in Opera-

tion Desert Storm and in the Army Reserves. In 2018, Domek attempted suicide and was admitted to the Pittsburgh VA’s inpatient mental health unit. He also attempted to kidnap his former domestic partner and, in early 2019, was readmitted to the mental health unit for homicidal thoughts. The VA gave Domek a designated behavioral health nurse practitioner; the two met monthly after his second hospitalization. The nurse practitioner documented Domek’s thoughts of suicide after each of their four visits, according to the inspector general report. But there was no evidence the nurse practitioner did a thorough suicide risk assessment or reviewed Domek’s suicide safety plan as protocol dictates. Two weeks after Domek’s last meeting with the nurse practitioner, Domek killed the former domestic partner, Mary Jo Kornick. He then killed himself. The nurse practitioner could not remember why no risk assessment was done, the report said. The inspector general determined the nurse practitioner had copied and pasted information from prior visits throughout his records, making them difficult to follow and interpret. Domek’s son Colin told ProPublica the nurse practitioner should have done more. He said the nurse practitioner knew about his dad’s plans; he had been in the room when his father See Mental health Page 13

told the nurse practitioner he intended to kill both himself and Kornick, he said. Colin Domek described his father as a hard worker who enjoyed fishing and geocaching, a recreational activity in which participants search for hidden objects outdoors. He loved being a soldier, Colin said, and the whole family took pride in his service. One year at Christmastime, they decorated their tree with tiny paratroopers. The family was on the local news when Domek deployed to Iraq. More recently, though, Nicholas Domek had had his left leg amputated and struggled with depression, Colin said. He’d started seeing a mental health professional and trying medications. “In his mind, the VA was going to take care of him,” Colin said. “It was never a thought to see someone outside the VA. That was never on the table.” The tragedy ravaged a second family. Kornick was a loving mother and grandmother who worked at a home for older people, her daughter Sherry Kornick told ProPublica. She loved to laugh and play pranks. She made up songs to make people smile. She was killed the day before Mother’s Day. “I don’t even want to celebrate Mother’s Day” anymore, Sherry said, breaking down into tears. “And I realized it’s not fair to my kids who want to celebrate me.” In its investigation, the

Mental health inspector general determined the nurse practitioner had made similar missteps with at least seven other patients and had copied and pasted “significant sections of notes” from prior evaluations in 97% of the 143 patients’ health records it reviewed. The report on the case recommended that the VA’s Pittsburgh health system consult with its human resources and legal teams to “determine whether personnel action [was] warranted.” The facility director agreed with the recommendation but noted the nurse practitioner retired in January 2022. In a statement to ProPublica, the Pittsburgh health system said it was “devastated when [it] learned about the challenges Mr. Domek faced and took immediate action to prevent another Veteran from having a similar experience.” That included developing a refresher training program for suicide-risk evaluation and management as well as a new template for electronic health records. Other VA facilities missed screens, too, ProPublica’s review found. At one Arizona hospital, a social worker didn’t screen a veteran who called to reestablish mental health care, instead referring the veteran for psychological diagnostic testing. The veteran wasn’t offered treatment for a month and later died by suicide. A South Carolina hospital didn’t do a suicide risk assessment on another veteran who was being released from its inpatient mental health unit as VA policy requires. That veteran also died by suicide. There were other cases,

too, in which veterans with serious behavioral health issues were overlooked or didn’t get the help they needed. The VA Medical Center in Houston, for example, lost track of a veteran with chronic schizophrenia who sought treatment at the facility’s emergency room in 2020 for back pain. The veteran was found off-site four days later in cardiac arrest and died the next day, according to an inspector general report. In interviews with the investigators, hospital staff said the veteran had been shuttled between departments due to possible COVID-19 symptoms and then wandered off. In a statement to ProPublica, Houston health system leaders said the situation did not “represent the quality health care southeast Texas Veterans have come to expect from Houston VA” and that they had improved their COVID screening processes and trained employees on wandering patients. At the VA Medical Center in Washington, D.C., a psychiatrist found a veteran with drug withdrawal symptoms to be at moderate risk of suicide and recommended in-patient treatment. The psychiatrist walked the veteran to the facility’s emergency room for follow-up. But doctors there didn’t read the psychiatrist’s notes and determined the veteran should be discharged. When the veteran refused to leave, an attending physician called the VA police and was heard saying the veteran could go shoot himself. The veteran died from a selfinflicted gunshot wound six days later. Hospital leaders agreed

with the findings in the inspector general report and noted that the physician who made the insensitive remark was replaced as a contract provider. They told ProPublica in a statement that a second physician on contract had resigned from the facility. Experts say such missteps often stem from the fact that employees are overworked and undertrained. Demand for mental health services within the VA has been surging, and the system has long endured mental health provider shortages. A survey published by the inspector general in August found that more than three quarters of the VA’s 139 networks of hospitals and associated clinics had reported “severe” shortages of psychiatrists, psychologists or both. Separately, a report from the Government Accountability Office from 2022 concluded that onefifth of all large VA health care facilities failed to meet requirements that mental health providers be available within primary care settings to help assess veterans and follow up with their care. The facilities said “persistent staffing challenges” were largely to blame. The VA is far from the only health care organization that has had difficulty filling critical behavioral health positions amid a national shortage of providers in recent years. But Carl Castro, a professor at the University of Southern California and director of its Center for Innovation and Research on Veterans and Military, said the VA in particular has struggled to compete for providers.

“The system doesn’t pay them enough money,” he said. “It works them to the bone. That’s why it is hard to recruit people.” Indeed, in exit interviews, VA psychologists cited insufficient pay, too much work and job stress as among the top five reasons they left their positions, according to data published by the VA in October. The VA, for its part, has steadily increased its funding for mental health over time, federal budget data shows. In 2022, the figure surpassed $13 billion, up from about $6 billion a decade earlier. In 2022, mental health was about 13% of the total health care budget. In 2012, it was about 12%. Agency leaders have acknowledged that growing the mental health workforce is a priority. They recently announced a targeted hiring initiative intended to bring 5,000 new mental health professionals into the system over the next five years. The agency also boosted the pay range available for staff psychiatrists last year and is offering more flexible schedules to employees to help battle burnout, it said. “We are fully engaged in a multi-faceted strategy to attract qualified candidates, leverage all flexibilities and incentives to meet the workforce needs, and monitor staffing ratios and other data regularly to help inform facility staffing priorities and decisions,” the agency said in a statement to ProPublica. Aside from staffing issues, experts said the VA struggles with consistency across its huge system, which is broken down into 18 regional networks and

dozens of smaller hospital systems, each with its own leaders and policies. “If you’ve seen one VA facility,” said Alyssa Hundrup, a director on the Government Accountability Office’s health care team, “you’ve seen only one VA facility.” The national policies alone have generated confusion, the reports showed. According to the inspector general’s office, two of the handbooks describing the mental health policies all VA facilities must follow had been outdated for years. One was missing the agency’s most recent guidance on managing patients at risk of suicide or suffering from PTSD or major depressive order. Dr. Sandro Galea, dean of the Boston University School of Public Health who chaired a congressionally mandated committee on the treatment of PTSD in military and veteran populations a decade ago, said the individual tragedies highlight the need for a wholesale look at the VA’s mental health care system “to identify gaps and holes.” “That needs to happen,” Galea said. “It’s clearly time.” Emma Dash is sure something needs to be done. Her husband, a 33-year-old Army veteran named Brieux Dash, was struggling with PTSD when he was involuntarily committed to West Palm Beach VA Medical Center in 2019. He took his own life during his stay. Dash had been a wheeled vehicle mechanic in the Army from 2006 until 2015. He deployed to Iraq twice, his Army records show. When he returned home the second time, he

was different, Emma said. He would scream in the middle of the night. Sometimes, he erupted into violence in his sleep. Emma, who worked in the West Palm Beach VA medical center’s pharmacy department, had her husband committed to the medical center’s inpatient mental health unit once before, she said. “It got him back to being him,” Emma recalled. So when he attempted suicide at home in 2019, she followed a similar course of action. The VA’s inspector general later found that a nursing assistant who had been assigned to do patient safety checks every 15 minutes the day Brieux Dash died had also carried out other tasks contrary to unit protocol. In addition, video cameras that were supposed to help monitor patients hadn’t worked in years. The findings shocked Emma, who had believed the facility was the best equipped to help her husband. She sued the VA in 2022 and settled for $5.75 million last year, an amount her lawyer characterized as “historic.” In a statement to ProPublica, the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center said it installed sensor alarms and new surveillance cameras after Dash’s death and added a new checklist to address environmental risks for patients on inpatient mental health units. “Anytime a Veteran in our care dies by suicide,” the statement said, “it is heartbreaking.” Emma Dash had a simple message for the VA, she told ProPublica: “Do better!” Republished with Creative Commons License (CC BY-NC-ND 3.0).

Orange County board approves $3M for homelessness pilot program By City News Service

range County supervisors Tuesday approved spending $3 million on a pilot program to help homeless families. Half of the funding comes from federal American Rescue Plan Act funds to help local governments affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The other half comes from the county’s general fund. The aim of the program

proposed by Orange County Supervisor Vicente Sarmiento is to focus on about 250 families, helping needy residents hang on to their housing. The program will provide case management to help the needy families receive a variety of county services such as job training, financial literacy education, food and other necessities. The $1.5 million of

ARPA funds to be spent on the program comes from the money allocated to Sarmiento’s district. Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Doug Chaffee said he looks forward to seeing how the program develops. “This is a pilot program and like many pilot programs there are adjustments as you go, so there’s a lot of unknown, but I commend this effort,” Chaffee said.

“We need to help people become economically stable so they can move forward and not need more assistance. ... I want to see where this goes. Again, I support it.” Supervisor Katrina Foley said, “What we’re talking about is a very targeted approach in order to gather some data to figure out what works and what doesn’t work.”

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the County where the real property is located. 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 postpone-

JANUARY 15- JANUARY 21, 2024 21 ments 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 (916)939-0772 or visit this internet website http://search.nationwideposting.com/propertySearchTerms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA2300289238 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 Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction if conducted after January 1, 2021, pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (916)939-0772, or visit this internet website http://search.nationwideposting.com/propertySearchTerms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA2300289238 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid.

LAPD announces ‘hate incident’ as new category for online community reporting By City News Service

he Los Angeles Police Department is expanding its Community Online Reporting Service system Friday to include the category of “hate incidents” in an effort to combat the “under-reporting of biasmotivated incidents” that fall short of being considered crimes. LAPD Chief Michel Moore announced the expansion to the CORS program at a news conference at police headquarters on Thursday morning. The CORS system was launched in 2016, and allowed community members to file reports on incidents such as traffic collisions and a limited category of crime reports online, Moore said. During the year of its launch,1,300 reports were submitted through CORS, Moore said. Since then, CORS has expanded to include nearly two dozen types of reports that community members can file online. In 2023, community members submitted more than 131,000 such reports online, Moore said. On Jan. 1, an addition to the CORS system took effect, and now, community members have the option of filing reports of “hate incidents” online, Moore said. Moore noted that the type of incident would be an action “not amounting to a crime” in which a person in the community is targeted in a way that could include an epithet or a gesture related to a

victim’s sexual orientation, race, religion or ethnicity. “It is a matter that we want to know about,” Moore said. “The challenge is, that with the lengthening response time, that people attempting to report a non-crime — but a significant matter that concerns them, creates fear and apprehension in those communities — (it) was taking, at times, hours for us to reach (them) because of the limited resources, because of more pressing matters, meaning crimes of violence that were in progress, or various crimes that had just occurred.” To file a report or to see a list of the types of reports that can be filed through CORS, go to www.lapdonline.org/file-a-policereport/ . Authorities stressed that if a crime is in progress, people should call 911. According to the LAPD, the type of “hate incident” that would be appropriate to report under the expanded online program would be defined as follows: “Hate Incident: A hate incident is any noncriminal act, including words, directed against a person(s) based on that person’s actual or perceived protected characteristics. Hate incidents do not violate criminal law statutes. Hate incidents are generally protected free speech under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.” The following types of police reports had been

previously included in the online reporting program: -- Harassing Phone Calls: Any person who repeatedly, with the intent to annoy, telephones or makes contact by means of an electronic communication. For example, immediate hang-ups, obscene

language, emails, text messages with no known suspects. -Lost Property: Personal property that was unintentionally left by its true owner. For example, property left behind at an unknown location or left behind with no attempt to

retrieve it. -Vandalism: Any person who maliciously damages, destroys or defaces the property of another person. For example, knocking over a mailbox, spray- painting a wall, or throwing a rock through a window. -Theft: Personal property taken from a publicly accessible location. For example, a package is taken from your porch; or, you left your wallet behind in a restaurant, but when you attempted to go back to retrieve it, the wallet was no longer there. -- Theft from Vehicle: Theft from an unlocked or locked vehicle. -- Minor Traffic Collisions: Minor injuries and you have exchanged information. -- Hit and Run: Damage caused by another vehicle in which the driver should have left information or fled the scene without stopping to provide information. -- Vice Tips: Tips may be reported, and filer may remain anonymous. -- Narcotics Tips: Tips may be reported, and the filer may remain anonymous. -- Identity Theft. The incidents must meet the following criteria in order to report them online: -- The incident is not an emergency. -- The incident occurred within the city of Los Angeles. -- The person filing must be at least 18 years old.

-- No one was injured as a result of this incident. -- There are no known suspects. -- The incident did not occur on the state highway. -- No firearms were involved in the incident. -- The person filing must have internet access and an email address. Once a report has been submitted report, the filer will immediately receive a temporary report number and be able to print a copy of the report just made. All incidents reported using the Community Online Reporting Service will be reviewed, on average once every 24 hours — possibly longer on weekends and holidays — and upon approval will become an official police report. If further investigation of the reported incident is needed, the filer will be contacted by email or telephone. Once the report has been approved, an LAPD report number will be issued and a copy of the final report will be emailed back to the filer. The LAPD cautioned people that providing a false police report is a crime. “Anyone filing a false police report may be prosecuted under California Penal Code section 148.5 PC. Filing a false police report is punishable by imprisonment in county jail not exceeding 6 months, or by fine not exceeding $1,000, or by both,” police said in a statement.

five years of investigating with no new evidence — and two years after Hunter paid his taxes in full — the U.S. Attorney has piled on nine new charges when he had agreed just months ago to resolve this matter with a pair of misdemeanors.” Described in the indictment as a Georgetown- and Yale-educated lawyer, lobbyist, consultant and businessperson, Hunter Biden served on the board of a Ukrainian industrial conglomerate and a Chinese private equity fund during the time of the tax allegations. “He negotiated and

executed contracts and agreements for business and legal services that paid millions of dollars of compensation to him and/or his domestic corporations, Owasco PC and Owasco LLC,” according to the indictment. In addition to his business interests, the defendant was an employee of a multinational law firm, the document states. At the time of the now-defunct plea deal in Delaware, Biden said he had forgotten to pay his taxes during a period when he was in the grip of drug addiction.

Hunter Biden A courtroom deputy then requested his plea. “Not guilty, your honor,” the president’s son answered. Biden’s arraignment Thursday came a day after the House Oversight Committee in Washington was set to vote on the contempt matter — only to be sidetracked when Biden made his appearance. The committee had recommended that Hunter Biden be held in contempt for not complying with a subpoena to sit for a closeddoor deposition as part of the panel’s impeachment inquiry into the president. Hunter Biden has said he’s

willing to testify publicly, but not behind closed doors. Ultimately, he departed Wednesday’s House hearing after about 10 minutes as Republican and Democratic committee members squabbled over whether to let him address the panel. He left without doing so. The impeachment investigation stems from claims the president was involved in or benefited from his son’s foreign business dealings. Regarding the federal tax charges, the 56-page indictment says that, between 2016 and Oct. 15, 2020, “the defendant spent this money on drugs, escorts and girl-

friends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes.” Hunter Biden faces as many as 17 years in prison if convicted of all the charges. He faces three felony counts, including tax evasion, and six misdemeanor counts of failure to pay taxes. The president’s son is also under indictment on federal gun charges in Delaware that allege he broke laws against drug users having guns in 2018. In July, he had agreed to plead guilty there to two

misdemeanor tax counts and acknowledge a firearms violation without a conviction, receiving no jail time. But the deal collapsed when the judge questioned its terms and refused to sign off on it. His attorney, Abbe Lowell, said in a statement when the tax charges were announced that “based on the facts and the law, if Hunter’s last name was anything other than Biden, the (previously announced firearms) charges in Delaware, and now California, would not have been brought.” Lowell said, “Now, after

Authorities seek other potential victims in sexual assault cases By Terri Vermeulen Keith, City News Service

uthorities asked for the public’s help Tuesday in identifying any other alleged victims of a man arrested in connection with the rape and sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl in her Culver City home and a man charged in a separate case in which he is accused of impersonating a police officer, sexually battering a woman in her car and robbing her in Long Beach. “We believe that given their history, both of them may have additional victims out there,” Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón told reporters at a news conference Tuesday. Kern County resident Marcos C. Maldonado, 35, was charged Monday with two felony counts each of rape of a child victim under 14 and sexual penetration by use of force on a victim under 14, along with one count of sodomy by use of force on a victim under 14 involving the alleged attack Dec. 2 on the girl. The complaint alleges he committed the offenses during the commission of a burglary and that he “engaged in the tying or binding of the victim or another person.” Culver City Police Chief

Jason Sims said, “We do not believe that Maldonado, the suspect in this case, had any prior contact with the family prior to this crime. We believe he entered the residence through an unlocked sliding door.” It is unclear how many hours Maldonado was allegedly inside the home, the district attorney said, adding that the defendant allegedly went into the house in the early morning hours and that authorities believe he left at about 7 a.m. after telling the girl there was a man with a gun outside the home and that her family would be killed if she reported what occurred. DNA evidence helped to link Maldonado to the “disturbing and tragic sexual assault,” and he was arrested last week on the Golden State (5) Freeway after leaving a downtown Los Angeles hotel and boarding a bus that was heading for Bakersfield, according to the Culver City police chief. “While we have no reports of additional crimes of this nature in the Culver City area, we are collaborating with other law enforcement agencies to identify any additional victims,” Sims said.

Maldonado “does have a prior felony conviction and a criminal history, but no prior sex crime convictions,” according to the police chief. The district attorney said Maldonado has been arrested multiple times in Kern County, saying “there are some incidents that he was arrested and the cases were not filed for sexually related conduct so we believe that this may be a pattern.” Maldonado pleaded not guilty Monday to the five felony counts and remains jailed while awaiting his next court appearance Feb. 15. Maldonado could face life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted as charged, according to Gascón. In a separate case, Martin Lopez, 55, of Los Angeles, is accused in a Dec. 27 attack on a woman who was confronted by a man claiming to be a police officer while walking to her car in Long Beach, the district attorney said. “He ordered her to open her car door and sit in the passenger seat and she complied, believing him to be a real police officer,” Gascón said, telling reporters that the assailant allegedly demanded the woman’s

wallet, phone and purse and allegedly displayed what the woman believed to be a handgun when she tried to stand up. The suspect drove away after a good Samaritan intervened, according to the district attorney, who said police are attempting to find that person. Lopez was arrested Jan. 4 after detectives spotted him driving in Long Beach, said Don Mauk, Long Beach Police Department’s Deputy Chief of Investigations. Handcuffs and a fake badge were recovered when two search warrants were

subsequently served, Mauk said. He described Lopez as having an “extensive criminal history for violent felonies.” The deputy chief noted that a second alleged victim in Los Angeles has also been identified, telling City News Service that Lopez allegedly “identified himself as a police officer and then committed a different type of crime — a financial type of crime.” Lopez is set to be arraigned Jan. 24 on one felony count each of sexual battery by restraint, second-degree robbery

and attempted kidnapping to commit another crime involving the alleged attack in Long Beach. The criminal complaint alleges that Lopez has convictions from 1996 for kidnapping and robbery and from 2008 for assault with a deadly weapon and robbery. Anyone with further information about Lopez was asked to call Long Beach police at 562-570-7368, while anyone with information about Maldonado was asked to contact Culver City police at 310-253-6302 or by email at tips@culvercity. org.

Science Center crews lift massive fuel tank for shuttle display By City News Service

he assembly of an upright, launch-ready display of the space shuttle Endeavour at the California Science Center was another step closer to completion Friday, as crews lifted a massive external fuel tank into vertical position, but it still needs to be lifted again and shifted into its permanent location. Crews at the Science Center had planned to begin the lifting of the 65,000-pound tank, known as ET-94, late Thursday night, but the operation was delayed by winds. Overnight and during the early morning hours, crews were able to attach the tank to a large construction crane, which lifted ET-94 vertically and over a wall of the under-construction Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, which will house the one-of-a-kind shuttle display. As of Friday morning,

the tank was sitting upright near the future display, but it will still need to be lifted one more time and dropped into its exact position — nestled between two 149-foot-tall rocket boosters that have been in place vertically since early December. Officials were hoping to accomplish that move Friday morning, but with winds again becoming a factor, the operation was put on pause, in hopes of resuming the move late Friday night. On Wednesday, a “selfpropelled modular transporter” was used to slowly move the large orange tank approximately 1,000 feet through Exposition Park and into position for its crane ride. It took roughly two hours to move the massive tank, which is 154 feet long and 27.5 feet in diameter. ET-94 is the last remaining flight-qualified external

tank in existence. The twin rocket boosters that were installed upright in December are each 149 feet tall, including the aft skirts — or base — of the boosters, along with the 116-foot-long rocket motors and the “forward assembly,” or cone-shaped tops. The addition of ET-94 to the vertical display will leave the star attraction — the shuttle Endeavour itself — as the only component left to move. It was unclear exactly when the shuttle will be moved from its existing horizontal display and lifted upright. Science Center officials said only that the move will occur in the “coming weeks.” The Endeavour had been on display horizontally at the Science Center for more than a decade. Public access to the shuttle, however, ended on Dec. 31 so prepa-

rations could begin for its eventual move to the new exhibit, which will be the only launch-ready display of a former NASA space shuttle in the world. Science Center officials have dubbed the monthslong effort to create the vertical shuttle display as the “Go For Stack” process. The shuttle launch display will be the centerpiece of the 200,000-squarefoot Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, which will nearly double the Science Center’s educational exhibition space. The building will include three multilevel galleries, themed for air, space and shuttle. The new facility will also house an events and exhibit center that will house large-scale rotating exhibitions. An opening date for the $400 million center has not yet been determined.
