Azusa gang leader sentenced to 20 years The leader of a gang that committed serious hate crimes against African Americans in Azusa was sentenced Monday to 20 years behind bars. The Feds say 48-year-old Santiago Rios, who is known as “Chico,” was the leader of the Azusa 13 gang in 2008 and 2009. He pleaded guilty in May to conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and conspiracy to violate the civil rights of area black men and women. On June 2011, a federal grand jury indicted Rios and 50 other members and associates of Azusa 13, which is a Latino gang. Authorities alleged that the gang committed raciallymotivated crimes against black people from assaults to robberies and also used racist graffiti to harass African Americans.

The annual search for a King and Queen and their Royal Court to reign over the 69th Annual Camellia Festival of Temple City began on Saturday, January 12, 2013, when first grade boys and girls participated in the Royalty Play Day. The preliminary judging was held at the Community Center at Live Oak Park under the direction of the Parks & Recreation Department of Temple City and the Camellia Festival Committee. The first grade partici-

pants were judged on their attention span, getting along with others, following directions, general appearance, poise and personality. Judges remain anonymous, are not Temple City residents, and do not have any connection with the City of Temple City. The children were known only by the number they wore. Play day is a fun time for the children as they play games, sing songs, make a craft, and have the experience of talking into a microphone. The Royal Court mem-

bers selected for the 69th Camellia Festival are: Princess McKenna Kemper Cleminson Elementary School Princess Gabriella Pedraza La Rosa Elementary School Princess Samantha Womack Longden Elementary School Prince Christopher Koyamatsu St. Luke Catholic School Prince Lucas Cole De Paula Emperor Elementary School
