Bass shares message of unity ahead of mega sporting events

By Jose Herrera, City News Service

MayorKarenBass

Mondaydelivered a State of the City Address focused on unifying residents and building excitement as the Los Angeles region prepares to welcome the world starting with the upcoming 2026 World Cup.

In a nearly 50-minute speech at Exposition Park, Bass reiterated Los Angeles is entering what she described as the "most extensive and exciting three-year period" of major sporting events, referencing the 2026 World Cup, 2027 Super Bowl and 2028 Olympic Games. She also called on Angelenos to stand in solidarity with one another against individuals seeking to divide the city.

"I have always believed that Los Angeles can move faster than bureaucracy, care deeper than politics and think bigger than the limits we've been told to accept, and I believe that more fiercely now than ever," Bass said. "And, LA, I know we will be ready to welcome the world for the global sporting events, historic celebrations and defining moments that will unfold on our streets, in our neighborhoods and across the city."

N"I also know that we will resist and confront whatever comes our way, whether it is a reckless federal government who tries to say that this city is falling apart and needs the help, and needs to be rescued, or those who (say) that our values are negotiable, anyone who tries to disparage our city, or anyone who underestimates the strength, the unity and the courage of this city, we're not going to stand for it," Bass continued.

Angel City Football Club Co-Founder and CEO Julie Uhrman announced the organization will provide the city $3 million for a three-year initiative with the Department of Recreation and Parks to bolster sports for girls in Los Angeles.

Bass highlighted the city's preparations as the LA area's big events draw nearer. Prior to the start of the World Cup, the Pacific Palisades Riviera Country Club will host the Women's U.S. Open in June.

The funding is expected to help the department launch a so-called Golf for Girls clinic program at public golf courses during the Women's U.S. Open.

Uhrman said the funding could benefit more than 45,000 LA youth.

Police made 51 arrests on Saturday evening, with 47 adults and three juveniles cited and released for failure to disperse, Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman Officer Norma Eisenman told HeySoCal.com. One person was arrested on suspicion of felony evading.

On Friday, five adults and one juvenile were charged with failing to comply with the LAPD's dispersal order,

one individual was charged with assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer and one arrest was for an alleged curfew violation. Saturday'sprotests occurredafterviolence broke out Friday night, when protesters were arrested for throwing objects at federal agents at downtown's Metropolitan Detention Center. A large rally began at 2 p.m. Saturday on the steps of City Hall, 200 N.

Orange County reports new measles case involving toddler

Orange County health officialsFriday reportedanother measles case, this time involving a toddler, just days after confirming an infection in a 19-year-old who had traveled internationally.

Health officials said the toddler does not appear to have been publicly exposed to the virus and had not traveled prior to becoming infected.

In an interview with City News Service, Orange County Health Officer Dr. Regina Chinsio-Kwong declined to provide specifics on the two people infected, but said they were recovering from their illnesses. The 19-year-old and the toddler are unrelated.

By Paul Anderson, City News Service

As cases rise across the nation, Chinsio-Kwong and Dr. Anissa Davis, the deputy county health officer, emphasized the importance of getting vaccinated. They expect cases to rise as it is the most contagious virus.

UC Irvine epidemiologist Andrew Noymer agreed that cases could rise in Orange County.

"We could see more cases for sure," he said. "But whether or not will be like Texas or South Carolina measles outbreaks remains to be seen. I'm tempted to say it won't be because we have good vaccination coverage, but there are pockets of vaccine hesitancy in south county, but I still don't think it will be as bad as Texas or South Carolina."

Anyone already vaccinated should not be alarmed, Noymer said.

"People who have been vaccinated don't really need to change their behavior," Noymer said. "Don't cancel that trip to the mall if you're vaccinated."

Noymer and the doctors also agreed that the measles vaccine is the most effective.

"I'm not losing sleep over this the way I did about COVID-19 six years ago because we have something that we still don't have for COVID, which is an effective vaccine," Noymer said.

measles vaccine is the best vaccine in the vaccine arsenal. So anyone who has been vaccinated has a really high chance of being immune and parents who want to catch up can do so and now would be a great time to have a change of heart, particularly about measles."

Davis said local medical providers anecdotally have been warning about a rise in vaccine hesitancy.

"We're hearing it from providers that clients are asking more questions" about vaccines, ChinsioKwong said.

Most of the cases in California are travel-related as the state is a tourist destination, particularly in Southern California, Chinsio-Kwong said.

Herd immunity is 95% and the state is at that level, but if the vaccinated levels dip even a couple of percentage points it can open the door to a significant measles outbreak, Davis and Chinsio-Kwong said.

In the earlier case, the 19-year-old had traveled internationally before contracting the virus.

Times and locations of possible exposure to the highly contagious virus occurred between 2 and 4 p.m. last Friday at the EoS Gym in Ladera Ranch and the AFC Urgent Care in Ladera Ranch between 3:30 and 6 p.m. Friday and again 5 to 7:30 p.m. Monday, officials said.

There have been 588 confirmed cases in the nation this year, and 2,267 last year, the highest annual case count in more than three decades, officials said.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health announced Friday the confirmation of the first measles case in a Los Angeles County resident since August.

The patient, who was not identified, had recently traveled internationally, according to the department. There are no identified public exposure locations in Los Angeles County outside of a health care setting. Affected health care facilities are directly notifying patients and staff who may have been exposed.

"Anyone planning domestic or international travel — or hosting visitors — should be fully vaccinated at least two weeks beforehand," Davis said.

"Adults and others who are not immune remain at risk, especially as outbreaks continue across the country and worldwide. Vaccination is the best protection."

Common symptoms of the virus are fever, cough, red-water eyes, and a rash that usually starts on the head and spread. The virus spreads through the air and by direct contact with someone who is infected. An infection can be spreading the virus four days before the rash is noticed.

It can take up to four

days before a rash occurs. Before that the infection could be confused with the flu or any other type of illness, Davis said.

Chinsio-Kwong warned against trying other remedies.

"We don't want measles parties," Chinsio-Kwong said.

A purposeful infection may develop immunity but in some rare cases it can lead to longterm complications down the line that can be deadly.

Some older residents may have only gotten one shot when they were a child, which should be enough to help ward off infection, Davis said. But it's still a good idea to get a booster if you go traveling, she added.

Chinsio-Kwong also implored medical providers to quickly alert county health officials when they suspect they have encountered a measles infection. That can help with the surveillance necessary to warn others and get them vaccinated before symptoms show up. A shot before symptoms can help mitigate the illness or prevent it.

Chinsio-Kwong warned against heavy doses of Vitamin A, which was a remedy some in Texas sought.

"It's not a treatment for measles," Chinsio-Kwong said. "It can be toxic at high levels."

The best plan is to call a doctor when you're ill and follow their guidance, Chinsio-Kwong said.

Bad Bunny wins album of the year

By City News Service

BadBunnymade GrammyAwards history Sunday night, capturing the evening's top prize of Album of the Year for "Debí Tirar Más Fotos" — the first-ever best album Grammy winner sung entirely in Spanish.

The Puerto Rican-born singer, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, began his acceptance speech in Spanish, saying what translated to "Puerto Rico, believe me when I tell you that we are much bigger than 100 by 35" — a reference to the island's size — "and there is nothing we can't achieve."

Switching to English, he went on to say, "I want to dedicate this award to all the people who had to leave their homeland to follow their dreams."

It was one of numerous immigration-related references made by various artists Sunday night during the televised ceremonies from the Crypto.com Arena, where the major awards on "Music's Biggest Night" were handed out.

Earlier, while accepting the Grammy for best música urbana album, Bad Bunny said in English, "Before I say thanks to God, I'm going to say ICE out. We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans."

Meanwhile, in other major awards at Sunday's 68th annual Grammys, Billie Eilish won Song of the Year for "Wildflower," written with her brother, Finneas O'Connell; and Compton-born rapper Kendrick Lamar, with SZA, captured Record of the Year — which recognizes the artist — for "Luther."

"No one is illegal on stolen land," Eilish said in accepting her award. "(Expletive) ICE is all I want to say."

Lamar also took Rap Album of the Year for "GNX."

Combined with his Album of the Year award, he now has 27 career Grammys — breaking Jay-Z's previous mark of 25 for most Grammys by a rapper.

Pop Vocal Album of the Year went to Lady Gaga for "Mayhem," while the Grammy for Pop Solo Perfor-

mance went to Lola Young for "Messy."

The best new artist Grammy went to Olivia Dean. Meanwhile, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande's duet "Defying Gravity" from the film "Wicked" won for best pop duo/group performance, beating out "Golden" (from "KPop Demon Hunters") by Huntr/x.

The eligibility period for this year's Grammy nominations was Aug. 31, 2024 to Aug. 30, 2025. That timeline eliminated Taylor Swift's hit release "The Life of a Showgirl" from consideration — but it will be eligible for the 2027 Grammys.

Earlier Sunday, the Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony took place at the Peacock Theater, where the bulk of the day's 95 awards were be presented.

The main event of "Music's Biggest Night" was hosted for the sixth and last time by comedian Trevor Noah.

Sunday also marked the start of a historic week for Bad Bunny, who's also set to headline the halftime show at next Sunday's Super Bowl.

Unique Valentine’s Day Ideas to Spark Romance and Connection Singles & Social Events

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, couples everywhere are looking for meaningful ways to celebrate their relationship. While classic gifts like chocolates and roses never go out of style, the true magic of the holiday comes from spending quality time together. Whether you’re a pair of students celebrating your very first Valentine’s Day or partners marking decades of love, thoughtful experiences can make the day truly unforgettable. For couples who appreciate the arts, an evening at a play, live concert, or even a cozy movie night can add a touch of romance and glamour. If sentimentality

is more your style, consider recreating a cherished memory — revisiting your first date location or reimagining a favorite shared moment with a creative twist.

Adventurous duos might enjoy stepping outside their comfort zone with a dance lesson, whether it’s learning the cha-cha, samba, or elegant ballroom moves together. If a slower pace sounds more appealing, working on a puzzle side by side can be a calm, intimate way to connect and unwind.

Food lovers can turn dinner into an experience by planning a progressive meal, enjoying appetizers,

entrées, and dessert at different restaurants, or opting for a cozy staycation close to home. Outdoor enthusiasts might prefer a scenic hike, a stroll through nature, or a fun-filled outing at a local skating rink.

For couples seeking a deeper connection, volunteering together for a cause you both care about can be a rewarding way to give back while strengthening your bond. No matter how you choose to celebrate, Valentine’s Day is ultimately about sharing moments that bring you closer and create memories you’ll cherish long after the day has passed.

Valentine’s Day Ideas to Celebrate Friendship and Fun

Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples— it’s also the perfect excuse to celebrate the incredible friendships that add joy, laughter, and support to our lives. Galentine’s Day, typically observed on February 13, is all about honoring those bonds and creating meaningful memories with friends. Whether you’re planning a low-key get-together or a full day of festivities, there are plenty of ways to make it special.

For a relaxed and cozy celebration, consider hosting a themed brunch or

dinner party. Think heart-shaped waffles, build-your-own charcuterie boards, or a potluck where everyone brings a favorite dish. Add a playful touch with costumes, candles, or a curated playlist to set the mood.

Feeling creative? Try a DIY night, such as candle making, flower arranging, or a paint-and-sip evening at home. These hands-on activities encourage conversation and leave everyone with a keepsake to remember the day. If you prefer getting out of the house, booking

a group workshop or craft class can be a fun change of pace.

For friends who love to unwind, a selfcare night is always a hit. Face masks, mini manicures, and mocktails or champagne can turn an ordinary evening into a mini spa experience. On the more adventurous side, consider planning a group fitness class, dance lesson, or even a friendly bowling or trivia night to spark laughter and lighthearted competition. Food-focused outings are another Galentine’s favorite. Schedule a dessert

crawl, coffee-hopping afternoon, or reservations at a favorite restaurant you’ve been meaning to try together. For something more meaningful, volunteering as a group or writing heartfelt notes of appreciation to one another can be a powerful way to celebrate friendship.

No matter how you choose to celebrate, Galentine’s Day is about connection, support, and shared joy—because great friendships deserve to be celebrated just as much as romance.

OPINION

Monrovia Old Town report: Roll credits

By Shawn Spencer shawn@girlfridaysolutions.net

Here’s a plot twist no one saw coming. I am deeply saddened to announce that LOOK Cinema has permanently closed in Old Town. The Texas based company has confirmed that their Glendale location will remain open, but Monrovia, Downey and Redlands locations all abruptly closed over the weekend. While U-Hauls were filled with furniture and equipment, the Company said they are busy trying to provide support and resources to the unknown number of employees that are suddenly out of a job.

The theatre is a large space to fill. Sure, it could house shared office space or a suite of offices, but is that what we want? Personally, I dread going to the mall. I sure as heck don’t want to go there to watch a movie. Can another company swoop in and save the day? We need a sequel! Sadly, the glitz and glam of Hollywood is fading. And like so many that were devastated by the COVID 19 pandemic, the movie industry appears to have a bad case of long COVID. Like so many brick and mortar stores that have permanently shuttered in the last year for reasons such as bankruptcy, shifting consumer behavior, the economy, Amazon, etc., how can the movie industry survive? Over 15,000 businesses closed in 2025: RiteAid, Foot Locker, Forever 21, Party City, Joann Fabrics, to name a few. That number does not include the small mom and pop stores that

are the heartbeat of many neighborhoods. How can a movie theatre be expected to not just survive, but thrive when the same movies can be purchased on Amazon Prime for a mere $19.99?

This brings out the worry in many community members. We are already reeling from the pending closure of Gene’s. Now people are noticing empty buildings, and a sense of worry is starting to set in. Small town businesses often have a seasonal ebb and flow of traffic and revenue. It takes focus, agility and a keen business to succeed in such endeavors. But if you haven’t noticed, Monrovia is in a growth phase. These apartment buildings that are going up lickity-split are not

empty. While many are not a fan of these developments, the people that live in them need to eat. They need to shop. They need to see a darn movie and have a Gene’s pastrami dip! Where the people are, the businesses will come. I am not worried about Monrovia. Change may be upon us, and we all know change is hard. But sometimes change is necessary. What’s the saying? Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous in the end.

Please continue to support the local businesses that support you, feed you, clothe you and make your life better. I know that they value and appreciate your patronage more than big business does.

Arlo is a calm, loving pup with a soft heart and an easygoing spirit. He may get a little stressed in new situations (car rides and rainy days aren’t his favorite!), but he handles it all with quiet patience and a gentle outlook. Once he settles in, Arlo loves to relax, explore, and soak up the peaceful moments. In his foster home, Arlo is a total sweetheart — respectful, wellmannered, and happy to simply be near his people. He enjoys sniffing around new spaces, naps on soft carpets, and meeting new friends with a calm, steady confidence. He’s also a great student: he’s started practicing crate time, learning loose-leash walking, and adjusting beautifully to new routines. Arlo is the kind of dog who just wants to feel safe, warm, and loved. If you’re looking for a mellow, affectionate companion who will quietly brighten your days, Arlo might be the perfect match. And, he is available for a 10-day adoption trial!

Meet Piloncillo! This handsome guy is a joy to have by your side. Although he came to Pasadena Humane as a stray, this one-year-old pit bull has shown nothing but his sweet and adventurous side. He’s great in the car, walks nicely on a leash, knows his “sit” command, and loves a good hike! When Piloncillo is out and about, you can expect a prancy walk, lots of sniffing, and the occasional adorable play bow to passing dogs. Piloncillo is a curious pup who’s still figuring out the world — sometimes new things can make him pause — but he recovers quickly with calm reassurance. Once he’s comfy, he’s all about the pets, chest scratches, and hanging out right by your side (bench seat included!). If you’re looking for a fun, sweet, outdoorsy young dog who just needs a little confidence-building and a lot of love, Piloncillo might be your guy.

WHEREAS, Government Code Section 36937(b) expressly authorizes the City Council to adopt by a four-fifths vote an urgency ordinance for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health or safety.

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL MONTE, DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The facts set forth in the above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full.

SECTION 2. The “2026 Los Angeles County Building Code” means and refers to Los Angeles County Code Title 26 and the amendments to the 2025 California Building Code, as adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on November 25, 2025.

SECTION 3. The “2026 Los Angeles County Electrical Code” means and refers to Los Angeles County Code Title 27 and the amendments to the 2025 California Electrical Code, as adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on November 25, 2025.

SECTION 4 The “2026 Los Angeles County Residential Code” means and refers to Los Angeles County Code Title 30 and the amendments to the 2025 California Residential Code, as adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on November 25, 2025.

SECTION 5 The “2026 Los Angeles County Plumbing Code” means and refers to Los Angeles County Code Title 28 and the amendments to the 2025 California Plumbing Code, as adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on November 25, 2025.

SECTION 6 The “2026 Los Angeles County Mechanical Code” means and refers to Los Angeles County Code Title 29 and the amendments to the 2025 California Mechanical Code, as adopted by the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors on November 25, 2025.

SECTION 7. The “2026 Los Angeles County Green Building Standards Code” means and refers to Los Angeles County Code Title 31 and the amendments to the 2025 California Green Building Standards Code, as adopted by the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors on November 25, 2025.

SECTION 8 The “2026 Los Angeles County Existing Building Code” means and refers to Los Angeles County Code Title 33 and the amendments to the 2025 California Existing Building Code, as adopted by the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors on November 25, 2025.

SECTION 9 The purpose of this Urgency Ordinance is to amend the City of El Monte’s Municipal Code by adopting by reference, pursuant to California Government Code Sections 50022.2 through 50022.10, the 2026 Los Angeles County Building Code (Title 26), Electrical Code (Title 27), Plumbing Code (Title 28), Mechanical Code (Title 29), Residential Code (Title 30), Green Building Standards Code (Title 31), and Existing Building Code (Title 33), which adopted by reference and amended Parts 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 10, and 11 of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, the 2025 California Building Standards Code, and the findings supporting those amendments.

SECTION 10. Based on the recommendations and findings contained in this Urgency Ordinance and the accompanying staff report, the City Council hereby finds and declares that those certain amendments, with supported findings, adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to the 2025 California Building Standards Code are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions existing within the City of El Monte, which include, but are not limited to the following:

1. The City is subject to relatively low amounts of precipitation, very low humidity levels, and extremely high tem-

peratures. These climatic conditions are conducive to the spread of drought conditions and fires.

2. The City is in close proximity to the San Andreas Fault and other earthquake faults within the County of Los Angeles. The height limits on accessory structures are reasonably necessary because such structures are not otherwise subject to a building permit and design review, and as a result they are not subjected review for compliance with the Code's seismic structural building standards.

The aforementioned geologic and climatic conditions have also contributed to the loss or damage of 262 homes in the Anaheim fire of 1982, 71 homes in the Baldwin Hills fire of 1985, 33 homes in the Porter Ranch fire of 1988, 162 homes in the Santa Barbara fire of 1990, 3300 homes in the Oakland fire of 1991, 2,232 homes in the Cedar fire of 2003, 1500 homes in the Southern California wildfires of 2007; and more recently, 1,311 structures were lost in the Dixie fire of 2024, over 9,000 home in the Eaton Fire and 6,837 homes in the Palisades Fire. These fires resulted in the tragic loss of lives along with enormous property losses.

SECTION 11. Declaration of Urgency. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 36937(b), this ordinance is hereby declared to be an urgency measure necessary for the immediate protection of the public health, safety and welfare. The City Council hereby finds that there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare regarding the City Buildings and Construction Code. Unless the City Council adopts an urgency ordinance, the 2025 California Building Standards Code will remain effective without the amendments necessary to preserve the public health, safety and welfare in the City of El Monte until such time as the amendment to the code can become legally effective through the standard process of ordinance adoption. This will result in a gap in the implementation of the more stringent City building codes necessary for the City of El Monte due to the City’s unique climatic, geological and topographical characteristics. The City Council hereby finds that such a gap in the implementation of said more stringent Code regulations will result in an immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare of the City of El Monte. The City Council hereby finds, determines and declares that the immediate preservation of the public health, safety and welfare necessitates the enactment of this ordinance as an urgency ordinance and hereby shall become enforceable upon adoption.

SECTION 12. Based on the foregoing, and by a four-fifths vote, the City Council hereby introduces and adopts this Urgency Ordinance, adopting by reference the 2026 Los Angeles County Building Code (Title 26), Electrical Code (Title 27), Plumbing Code (Title 28), Mechanical Code (Title 29), Residential Code (Title 30), Green Building Standards Code (Title 31), and Existing Building Code (Title 33), which adopt by reference and amend the 2025 California Building Standards Code Parts 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 10, and 11 of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations.

SECTION 13 To satisfy California Government Code Sections 50022.3 and 50022.4, the City Council also sets a follow-up public hearing for February 11, 2026 at 6:00 PM in the City Hall Council Chambers located at 11333 Valley Boulevard, El Monte, CA 91721, after which the City Council may amend, adopt, or reject this Urgency Ordinance.

Dorano Jewelry makes special days sparkle

May S. Ruiz MayRChu56@gmail.com

Gold is considered a safe haven during times of uncertainty and recent geopolitical instability has sent the price of gold soaring. But long before the huge demand for it grabbed news headlines, the enduring value of gold inspired songs from Neil Young’s “Heart of Gold” to Harry Styles’s “Golden.” The metal — universally enjoyed as a piece of jewelry — symbolizes beauty, longevity, power, status and wealth.

For Garen Avetisyan, proprietor of Dorano Jewelry store on Huntington Drive in Arcadia, jewelry and the craftsmanship behind it are his life’s work. Creating memorable pieces are a source of pride and joy for this immigrant from Armenia who now calls Glendale home.

Avetisyan’s story is that of very immigrant’s journey from their homeland to a new place to build a new life. Born and raised in Yerevan, Armenia, he started working in the jewelry business when he was 18. In 2012, at the age of 37, he and his family migrated to California and the following year he opened Dorano Jewelry.

Making jewelry is an art and skill that Avetisyan honed back in Armenia. He relates, “I had family members in the jewelry business and I always enjoyed watching them work, so I decided to follow in their footsteps. I took private jewelry courses in Armenia and also spent

years observing, reading and educating myself on the profession and training. I still continue to expand my knowledge to this day.”

Uprooting oneself and beginning anew in a foreign country is a huge challenge and Avetisyan knows it only too well.

“I began looking for a storefront for my jewelry business soon after my family and I came to California,” Avetisyan recalls. “Since I had only been in America for such a short period of time, I had no credit history. Therefore, a lot of people turned me down despite the fact that I was willing to pay for a few months in advance. It was very difficult to gain people’s trust. I stumbled across one location in Arcadia and spoke to the owner directly. Thankfully, after our conversation, he decided to give me a chance and that’s how my shop opened in Arcadia in early 2013.”

The moniker he gave to his shop — Dorano Jewelry — is a portmanteau of sorts and has a special meaning.

Reveals Avetisyan, “I always admired the Italian language and used it as an inspiration for my store name. ‘Oro’ is Italian for gold and ‘d’oro’ refers to something made of gold. I incorporated these words and created the unique name of ‘Dorano.’ I believe it reflects the elegance and timelessness associated with gold jewelry.”

While finding the location

for his shop was a fortuitous initial step, making a success of the business seemed an unsurmountable undertaking early on. He struggled to make ends meet yet he persevered.

Avetisyan says, “The first few years were very difficult for me because I was starting over in a new country and speaking a language not native to me. I had no connections, no reputation and didn’t know a lot of people. But I chose to continue this journey because I felt a huge responsibility to continue my life's work that I had begun in Armenia. I didn’t view this

USC Arcadia Hospital receives

The Thomas and Bebette Coleman Foundation has pledged $500,000 to USC Arcadia Hospital as a token of gratitude for exceptional care provided to a family member, hospital administrators said last week. The donation will support a wide range of initiatives that include technology upgrades, enhancements to

surgical services and medical training programs. "There is tremendous comfort in knowing a loved one is being cared for by hospital staff who truly cares when there are no family members in the room," according to a Coleman Foundation statement. "USC Arcadia Hospital’s doctors, nurses, and staff provided

passion of mine only as a job but also a skill that had so much history and hard work behind it. I had confidence in myself and my ability and I knew that if people gave me a chance, they would also recognize value in my work.”

“I realized that I was making progress when customers would visit the shop and share that they were recommended by my other clients,” continues Avetisyan. “I was excited that word of mouth was growing because it meant I was building trust with the community. As more people became happy with the work and product I was

such compassionate and quality of care for our family member at a time when we didn’t have the resources to support the hospital. This gift is a token of our gratitude for treating our family member like a queen when she was just another patient coming through the doors. We will always remember the kindness, the thought-

providing them with, I knew that all the struggle was worth it and continued to work just as hard.”

“Dorano Jewelry is unique due to our deep expertise and detailed attention to each client, Avetisyan declares.

“The staff is skilled across all aspects of the business, including custom designs, appraisals, repairs, sales and more. Thus, customers receive all services in one place quickly yet efficiently. This helps us ensure consistency and quality, and build close relationships with all our guests. We hold ourselves to a high standard and has maintained this benchmark of care since day one.”

Many people think bespoke jewelry is prohibitively expensive — a misconception that Avetisyan immediately clarifies.

“Custom jewelry is definitely affordable at Dorano Jewelry,” Avetisyan claims. “The most requested items are engagement rings and wedding bands and we offer a large variety of options and customizable details to best fit our clients’ budget. Whether they are simple elegant designs to more intricate pieces, we work very closely with all clients to ensure they receive the best quality within their budget.”

Asked if there’s one particular piece he has created over the years that is memorable, Avetisyan quickly replies, “A client wished to design a custom ring based on a lost heirloom left behind by the

client’s ancestors. We worked closely together to maintain the sentimental value of the ring based on the client’s memory and description of the heirloom. Our goal was to preserve its history while also customizing the ring to best fit the client’s style and needs. We used an amethyst for the center stone and incorporated Indian symbols reflected through shape and detailing, referring to custom 3D designs to guide us. We achieved a refined and timeless finish.”

“I specifically remember the extensive research involved with this piece,” expounds Avetisyan. “To fully understand what the client wanted and realize the client’s vision, I studied symbolism and cultural meaning to best design the historical elements with accuracy and respect. I had the chance to explore this cultural background, making the piece challenging to make but with a rewarding outcome. It was one of the coolest projects I completed, learning a lot in the process.”

Having a piece of jewelry created by Dorano Jewelry means acquiring something that evokes significance for the person wearing it. Whether it’s to celebrate Valentine’s Day, a birthday, a wedding or anniversary, jewelry makes any special occasion sparkle. But it can also be just a practical, wearable investment — and jewelry makes even the everyday shine

fulness, and the exceptional service of the hospital and we are committed to ensuring all patients receive the high level of care as our family member.”

Distribution of the funds from the Temple City-based foundation will take place over five years, providing $100,000 annually, according to the hospital.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The Planning and Community Development Department is bringing forward Amendments to Title 17 (the Zoning Code) of the Pasadena Municipal Code (PMC) and the City’s South Fair Oaks Specific Plan. This includes changes to the following:

3) Zoning Code Section 17.40.180 (Walls and Fences), to update standards related to fences for certain uses.

THE PETITION requests the decedent's will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on Feb. 19, 2026 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 11 located at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, CA 90012.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the

issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

1. NEGLIGENCE

DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL

Plaintiff, HAROLD KAYE JR. HICKS, an individual (hereinafter “Plaintiff”) alleges as follows:

PARTIES

1. Plaintiff is a natural person who at all times relevant herein was a resident of Los Angeles County, California.

2. Defendant LGL, INC., (hereinafter, “LGL,”) a California corporation with its principal place of business in Irvine, California, County of Orange.

3. Defendant FAF, INC., (hereinafter, “FAF,”) a Tennessee corporation with its principal place of business in Greenville, Tennessee, County of Greene.

4. Defendant OC EXPRESS, INC. (hereinafter, “OC EXPRESS”) a California corporation with its principal place of business in Cerritos, California, County of Los Angeles.

5. Defendant, ALOYSIUS DIMITRI NNADOZIE. (hereinafter, “ALOYSIUS”) is a natural person who at all times herein mentioned was a resident of the County of San Bernardino.

6. Plaintiff is ignorant of the true names and capacities of defendants sued herein as DOES 1- 50, inclusive, and therefore sue these defendants by such fictitious names. Plaintiff will amend this Complaint to allege their true names and capacities when ascertained.

7. Defendants LGL, INC., FAF, INC., OC EXPRESS, INC., ALOYSIUS DIMITRI NNADOZIE, and DOES 1-50 may be

15. Defendant LGL, INC., FAF, INC., OC EXPRESS, INC., and DOES 1-50 did so negligently hire, train, supervise, and retain its employee and agent Defendant driver, ALO-YSIUS DIMITRI NNADOZIE, and did negli-ently provide him, and entrust him, with Defendant’s Vehicle, a dangerous instrumentality, with the prior knowledge that he lacked the skill, training, experience, expertise and temperament to safely operate said dangerous instrumentality on a public roadway, and was unfit to do so, directly and proximately resulting in severe injuries and damages to Plaintiff.

16.

HICKS, as required by California Labor Code sections 3700 et seq., thereby exposing Plaintiff to increased risk of uncompensated injury and demonstrating Defendants’ pattern of negligence and disregard for safety regulations. As such, Plaintiff is authorized to pursue civil action directly against his employer under Labor Code section 3706.

17. As a direct and proximate result of the acts and omissions of Defendants, and each of them, Plaintiff was injured in their health, strength, and activity, sustaining injuries to their bodies and person, all of which said injuries have caused and continue to cause Plaintiff great physical and mental pain and suffering. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that these injuries will result in some permanent disability to them, all to their general damages in an amount which will be stated according to proof at trial.

18. As a direct and proximate result of the acts and omissions of the Defendants, and each of them, and the injuries resulting there-from, Plaintiff necessarily employed physicians and surgeons for medical examination, treatment, and care of these injuries, and incurred medical and incidental expenses. Plaintiff will also have to incur additional like expenses in the future, all in amounts presently unknown to them.

Queen Mary ships reunite in Long Beach for 1st time in 20 years

Aroyalmaritime reuniontookplace

MondayinLong Beach, as the Queen Mary 2 ocean liner anchored alongside her historic namesake, the Queen Mary, for the first time in 20 years.

Queen Mary 2 is on a worldwide voyage, and recently completed its first crossing of the Panama Canal. The ship pulled alongside the Queen Mary Monday morning, and the two vessels shared a whistle salute. Queen Mary 2 is outfitted with a refurbished whistle from the Queen Mary.

"Welcoming Queen Mary 2 to Long Beach during our 90th anniversary year is an extraordinary honor, and watching the rendezvous this morning was a once-in-a-generation sight," Steve Caloca, managing director of the Queen Mary, said in a statement. "This historic moment reflects the enduring bond between the Queen Mary's past and present and continued role as a living symbol of ocean travel, innovation, and preservation."

The Queen Mary debuted in 1936 and was retired in 1967, ultimately taking up

celebrations in public parks across every Council District for the duration of the World Cup. All 34 competition days will be broadcast on large, mobile LED trailers.

Bass further announced the launch of a Clean Corridors initiative to boost beautification efforts along major city streets, in particular in areas near watch party and activation sites. Volunteers are encouraged to sign up and help with trash pickup, graffiti removal and landscaping. The initiative is similar to Bass' Shine LA program, which similarly coordinates volunteers to clean and beautify targeted locations set for the 2028 Olympic Games.

A Shine LA event will be held Saturday, focusing on the Hansen Dam Recreation Center in the San Fernando Valley. The site will serve as an official Los Angeles World Cup 2026 Fan Zone.

In her speech, Bass touted what she deemed to be her accomplishments in reducing unsheltered homelessness, enhancing public safety, and revitalizing downtown and rebuilding the fire-ravaged Pacific Palisades.

Unsheltered homelessness has reduced since 2023, according to data from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority annual homeless count. Critics dispute the

residents in Long Beach, operating as a hotel, restaurant and tourist destination.

Queen Mary 2 made her debut in the 1970s.

After the two ships' historic meeting Monday morning, Queen Mary 2 continued into the Port of Los Angeles to dock overnight.

Queen Mary 2's current World Voyage is a 108-night journey to 30 ports, including stops in San Francisco, Hong Kong, Singapore, Cape Town and Sydney.

"This iconic rendezvous pays a powerful tribute to Cunard's enduring legacy and

the spirit of ocean travel," Katie McAlister, president of Cunard cruise line said in a statement. "Queen Mary 2's reunion with the original

The mayor's milliondollar Inside Safe program, an encampment resolution initiative, has also been criticized for its cost, as well as its ability to rapidly provide permanent housing.

officials have reported a slight increase in homeless deaths for two consecutive years.

The homeless mortality rate stood at an average of seven deaths per day, according to an annual report on mortality rates among the unhoused community published in March 2025.

The report covered mortality rates and causes of death for the homeless population between 2017 and 2023. Meanwhile, the Los

The mayor also touted that the city has expedited the entire rebuilding process without compromising safety for Palisades residents seeking to rebuild from last year's wildfire, among other initiatives to support the community.

Fire survivors have also criticized Bass and the Los Angeles Fire Department for their handling of the fire, citing issues with overall preparedness, as well as transparency of an altered fire after-action report, among other things.

Bass also used her speech to criticize the Trump administration's aggressive and widespread tactics in addressing illegal immigration.

Bass recalled when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents began their raids in the city and later across Los Angeles County in June 2025.

"During those long summer days, neighbors

looked out for neighbors.

Communities formed rapidresponse networks. People stood together -- to protect human beings they had never met. I felt so proud to be an Angeleno," Bass said.

"While the National Guard has since left, the brutality of the raids has not. Raids continue every day in Los Angeles. And with them have come the devastating losses of life," Bass continued.

The mayor cited the deaths of LA native Keith Porter, and Minnesota residents Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, who were fatally shot by ICE and Border Patrol officers.

"Staying silent or minimizing what is happening is not an option. This adminis-

tration does not care about safety. They do not care about order. And they certainly do not care about the law. This senseless death, lawlessness, and violence must end. And so must ICE's presence in Los Angeles," Bass said in her remarks.

Traditionally, the State of the City address comes in April, as the city's budget process begins. Bass is also expected to give a second, more traditional State of the City address in mid-April. Los Angeles mayors typically give their State of the City address in the spring to detail their priorities, tout accomplishments and discuss the release of the city's budget for the next fiscal year.

Completion nears for 101 Freeway wildlife crossing

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing over the 101 Freeway has received nearly $19 million to provide the final push needed to complete the project, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Monday.

The crossing in the city of Agoura Hills on U.S. Highway 101 (Ventura) Freeway, west of Liberty Canyon Road, is the first of its kind in California and will offer a safe route for wildlife across the much-traveled freeway, according to the governor's office. Officials and supporters of the crossing hope it will reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions and support long-term species viability by enabling movement.

"The Annenberg Wildlife Crossing is an ambitious project, one that bridges the gap between conservation and urban development," Newsom said in a statement. "The crossing will make life safer for both Los Angeles

wildlife and drivers frequenting US 101 — and will ensure people and animals can thrive together for generations to come."

The California Transportation Commission allocated $18.8 million to complete the crossing from the Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program. The

infrastructure, officials said.

The wildlife crossing project is a public-private partnership that utilizes the expertise and leadership of dozens of organizations and institutions to protect and restore wildlife habitats in Southern California, according to Newsom's office. After more than 30 years of conser-

program began in 1989 to fund projects that address environmental impacts that require changes to existing transportation facilities and

vation work in the area, the wildlife crossing will reconnect protected lands in the Santa Monica Mountains and the Sierra Madre Range on

both sides of the freeway. This expansion of interconnected conserved lands and waters will protect and restore biodiversity while also supporting transportation infrastructure.

The bridge for animals over the freeway will feature coastal sage scrub plants that are native to the Santa Monica Mountains. The project's environmental

Anti-ICE protests

after some threw "bottles, rocks and industrial size fireworks" at law enforcement officers, according to the department.

Several anti-ICE rallies were also held Friday and Saturday in Southern California locales, including Pasadena, Baldwin Park, Compton, El Segundo, Culver City, Torrance and Aliso Viejo.

After violent clashes occurred Friday, First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said he requested more federal agents to LA to protect federal property.

"The violence and destruction of property directed at our federal properties in downtown Los Angeles last night is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. I have authorized federal officers to arrest anyone engaged in violence on the spot," Essayli said.

"We're not playing," he posted later Saturday on social media. "We have surged federal officers to protect our property and our employees. I have authorized probable

cause arrests for those who break the law, and they will be charged federally."

In an extensive internet post, President Donald Trump also pledged to protect federal property during protests.

"I have instructed Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, that under no circumstances are we going to participate in various poorly run Democrat cities with regard to their protests and/or riots unless, and until, they ask us for help," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "We will, however, guard, and very powerfully so, any and all federal buildings that are being attacked by these highly paid lunatics, agitators, and insurrectionists.

"Please be aware that I have instructed ICE and/ or Border Patrol to be very forceful in this protection of federal government property," Trump continued. "There will be no spitting in the faces of our officers, there will be no punching or kicking the headlights of our cars, and

there will be no rock or brick throwing at our vehicles, or at our patriot warriors. If there is, those people will suffer an equal, or more, consequence.

"I am informing local governments, as I did in Los Angeles when they were rioting at the end of the Biden term, that you must protect your own state and local property," the president continued. "In addition, it is your obligation to also protect our federal property, buildings, parks, and everything else. We are there to protect federal property, only as a back up, in that it is local and state responsibility to do so."

It was not immediately clear Monday if federal officers made any arrests related to the protests over the weekend. Federal authorities did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Two officers suffered minor injuries, according to published reports.

LAPD officials said Friday that vandalism during the

restoration strategy includes 12 acres of open space and 50,000 native plants, officials said.

The state has provided $58 million in funding for the public-private Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, which Caltrans is facilitating, while philanthropy has contributed more than $34 million, according to the governor's

On Earth Day 2022, Newsom joined the late Wallis Annenberg for the project’s groundbreaking. Annenberg was inducted into the California Hall of Fame, shortly after she died in July at age 86.

protests was being documented. Police asked all property owners and managers to also document acts of vandalism and report them via lapdonline.org.

LA Mayor Karen Bass said violent protests invite a stronger federal presence.

"I think the protests are extremely important, but it is equally important for these protests to be peaceful, for vandalism not to take place,"

Bass said late Friday. "That just hurts the city. That does not impact the administration in any kind of way that is going to bring about any type of change. ... If the protest gets violent, that is exactly what I believe this administration wants to see happen, because then don't be surprised if the military re-enters our city."

The demonstrations were part of a nationwide day of action in response to the fatal

shootings

federal officers in Minneapolis. Protest organizers have called for the defunding for ICE. On Monday, Archbishop Jose H. Gomez designated Wednesday as a "Day of Prayer for Peace in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles." A "Mass for Peace" is scheduled for 12:10 p.m. at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown LA.
