Police warn citizens to beware of solicitors for military support

Nov. 5 general election – pundits predict large turnout

The Monterey Park Police Department is warning residents to beware of solicitors and to call the police if contacted by individuals soliciting donations for an organization called "Operation Care Package," in support of deployed soldiers and service dogs. The charity organization is based in Illinois and does not employ door-to-door solicitors.

Police were alerted to the activities of several individuals soliciting door to door in the 1800 Block of Cielito Ave. on Sunday, October 27 at approximately 6:40 p.m. Officers detained a male and three female subjects in a white Toyota Avalon and determined that they were soliciting donations in the area. The driver of the vehicle, Henry William Honis Meyer, 23, of Cypress, was arrested for vehicle code violations and operating a business without a permit. During the investigation, the subjects advised Please see page 2

BY SHEL SEGAL As thousands of San Gabriel Valley residents go to the polls for the general election on Nov. 5, they will be determining the makeup of dozens of municipal organizations in the area, including city councils, school boards and water districts.

There are nine candi-

dates vying for three seats in the race for West Covina City Council in the Nov. 5 general election. And none is currently an elected official.

The nine candidates are: Corey Warshaw, a retired business analyst; Kimberly Caceres, a governmental affairs direc-

Attorney General denies Quo Warranto Case against Glendale Councilmember On October 25, 2013, the City of Glendale received confirmation that the California Attorney General denied the request of two Glendale residents for authorization to bring suit to challenge Councilmember Frank Quintero’s eligibility to serve on Council.

Residents John Rando and Mariano Rodas argued that Councilmember Quintero’s appointment to the City Council violated the City Charter, citing Article VI, Section 12: “No former councilmember shall hold any compensated city office or

FREE

city employment until two years after leaving the office of councilmember.” Their request was submitted for review in May of 2013.

Councilmember Quintero was appointed to the Council seat vacated

by Rafi Manoukian when he was elected as City Treasurer.

On April 23, 2013, the remaining members of Council unanimously voted to appoint Mr. Quintero, who had not run for re-election in the April 2013 election, to the vacant Council position.

Rando and Rodas unsuccessfully argued that

the City Charter prohibited Councilmember Quintero’s appointment.

The Attorney General disagreed, noting that the right to hold public office is a fundamental right and that the provision is not intended to prohibit former Councilmembers from holding elective office in the two-year period after coming off Council.

Rather, the Attorney General concluded, as the City had, that “the provision was aimed at preventing a Council member from improperly Please see page 2

The Internal Revenue Service today warned consumers about a sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, throughout the country.

Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.

“This scam has hit taxpayers in nearly every state in the country. We want to educate taxpayers so they can help protect themselves.

Rest assured, we do not and will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer,” says IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel. “If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatens police arrest, deportation or license revocation if you don’t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn’t the IRS calling.” Werfel noted that the first IRS contact with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail Other characteristics of this scam include: • Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally

use common names and surnames to identify themselves.

• Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim’s Social Security Number.

• Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it’s the IRS calling.

• S c a m m e r s sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.

• Victims hear background noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site.

• After threatening victims with jail time or driver’s license revocation, scammers hang up and others soon call back pretending to be from the local police or DMV, and the caller ID supports their claim.

If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here’s what you should do: • If you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 1.800.829.1040. The IRS employees at that line can help you with a payment issue – if there really is such an issue.

• If you know you don’t owe taxes or have no reason to think that you owe any taxes (for example, you’ve never received a bill or the caller made some bogus threats as described above), then call and

report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1.800.366.4484.

• If you’ve been targeted by this scam, you should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their “FTC Complaint Assistant” at FTC.gov. Please add “IRS Telephone Scam” to the comments of your complaint.

Taxpayers should be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS. The IRS encourages taxpayers to be vigilant against phone and email scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request personal or financial information. This includes any type of electronic communication, such as text messages and social media channels. The IRS also does not ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential access information for credit card, bank or other financial accounts. Recipients should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the message. Instead, forward the e-mail to phishing@irs. gov.

More information on how to report phishing scams involving the IRS is available on the genuine IRS website, IRS.gov.

Officials warn of military support scam Continued from page 1 A new California Appellate case just published August 8, 2013, “Glaski v. Bank of America”, holds that a homeowner can challenge his lender’s right to foreclose by showing that the Deed of Trust never made it into the securitized trust until after the trust’s closing date.

This is the case in most loans made in the last 12 years.

If the bank foreclosed we should be able to get the homeowner money damages and/or the house back. Or a lawsuit could be filed and a court ruling obtained preventing the court from foreclosing. Recently enacted Sections 2924(a)(6) and 2924.19 of California Civil Code provide the same relief to homeowners.

It is highly suggested that homeowners take this window of opportunity to get relief before the banks get Congress to close this door with national legislation.

police that they were staying at a motel in Cypress while operating as solicitors in the Monterey Park and Montebello area. They were in possession of receipts for the organization that appeared to be legitimate, along with brochures. Meyer told officers that the solicitors keep 25% of all donations. Subsequent investigation revealed that Meyer does not work for the charity organization; the investigation is continuing.

Meyer admitted to a

prior allegation of soliciting, breaking and entering, trespassing, and criminal threats in Asheville, North Carolina, after police investigated a group of subjects who were soliciting magazine sales door-to-door.

The City of Monterey Park requires all individuals conducting business within city limits to purchase a business license. Residents should always verify the identification of solicitors and legitimacy of charity organizations before mak-

ing donations. It is common for criminals to prey on compassionate citizens with causes such as military support, especially during the holiday season. Individuals going door-to-door may also be looking to burglarize unoccupied residences.

Monterey Park citizens are encouraged to contact the police regarding solicitors in residential areas.

For more information please call the police department's non emergency line at 626-573-1311.

using his office to gain nonelective City employment.”

The California Attorney General’s office concluded that it did “not consider the [legal] question to be a close one” and agreed with the City

of Glendale that the public interest is best served by denying the request to sue. The Attorney General’s opinion ends the matter, and ensures that the City does not have to expend valuable time

and resources to defend an unmeritorious lawsuit.

Councilmember Frank Quintero’s will serve on the City Council until June 2014, at which time a special election will be held to fill that seat.

21 California condors have been treated for lead poisoning this hunting season in California.

Veterinarians at the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens say three birds were critically sick when they arrived according to the Associated Press. “They were malnourished, had stopped eating and had

a disease that causes the stomach to stop moving food.” According to Dr. Curtis Eng The birds are trapped twice a year to check for lead poisoning. The condors the lead in carcasses of animals shot by area hunters.

California has a new law ( albeit effective 2019) that will ban lead ammunition.

Phase B2 Gold Line “shovel ready” by 2017 With the Gold Line extension from Pasadena to Azusa opening in 2016, officials are already planning the next phase of the project.

Speaking at a kickoff breakfast at the Doubletree Hotel in Claremont on Oct. 23, Habib Balian, president of the Metro Gold Line Extension Construction Authority, said Metro is hoping to build an additional 12.5 miles to Azusa.

“We’re here to talk about Phase 2B, kicking off the work to have it shovel ready by 2017,” Balian said. “That will allow us to go out to the community, work with the artists, designers and planners to make sure we design and plan a project that can be constructed that is very sensitive to the community, takes advantage of all the opportunities there are in the community, including transit-oriented development. We’re doing all that thinking well in advance of the project.”

Bailan said he expects

By SHEL SEGAL that phase of the project to be completed by 2022.

He added the extension is good economically for all the cities along the route.

“They’re huge for rejuvenating the cities all along the Foothill extension,” he said. “These are towns that have historic downtowns that were here since Henry Huntington built the railroad, that were formed along all of these stations and had the cities turned their backs on since the railroads went away.

We’re going to rebuild all that with this transit system.

We’ll have an opportunity to encourage transitoriented development, roughly raising billions of dollars for these cities long term.”

In addition, Balian said while building the Gold Line is expensive, it is worth it in terms of employment.

“This project will have 6,000 jobs in total and about 2,500 in construction alone,” he said. “This project will cost about $950 million all the way to Montclair. The money is to

be determined. It needs to be designed and planned so we can compete for money in 2016. It’s expected there will be another potential sales tax measure on the ballot sometime in the future and we’d like to be included in that.”

Balian also said the train will be an inexpensive, convenient way to travel throughout the San Gabriel Valley.

“People are looking for an alternative,” he said. “They’ve never had an alternative before. Metrolink is not convenient for everyone.

It’s expensive and the timing isn’t always right.

It doesn’t take you to Pasadena. It’s infrequent and not everyone wants to go to downtown L.A. This is pretty regular service, running every seven to 10 minutes to provide you with a way that is guaranteed to get you to your office or the Westside or wherever you’re going.”

The Fine Arts Club of Pasadena Celebrates century of promoting visual art and music Aspiring artists and musicians in the Greater Pasadena area have been supported by The Fine Arts Club of Pasadena for 100 years. A gala blacktie event celebrating the organization’s founding in November, 1913, was held at Caltech’s Athenaeum on Friday, October 4, 2013.

Pasadena Mayor Bill Bogaard was among the dignitaries celebrating the organization’s Centennial.

He presented The Fine Arts Club of Pasadena with a Commendation from the city, and thanked the organization for its accomplishments and its support of the Arts in Pasadena.

The primary purpose of The Fine Arts Club of Pasadena is “to encourage the creation, execution and appreciation of work in all branches of the fine arts; to promote enjoyment of the arts, and to grant awards and other financial aid to deserving artists.”

Over the years scholarship awards have been given to those talented in varied musical instruments, voice, drama, and all genres of art, including glass and jewelry art.

The mission of The Fine Arts Club of Pasadena is grounded in the belief that the arts are vital to our culture and artists deserve support. By serving its mission, the organization

Left to right: Jason Sturman, Robert Barbera, Sebastain Zacharia, Nazy Tavoloki, Andrew Tavoloki. Seated: Jo Barbera, Monica Zacharia. –Courtesy Photo

hopes to enrich the cultural life of our community and to encourage each artist’s unique individual expression.

The festive Centennial evening began with an art exhibition during the reception, provided by three of the Club’s members – Susanne Belcher, Patricia O’Hearn, and John Selleck. Each artist displayed examples of his and her unique talent.

The evening’s performing artist was award-winning pianist, composer and arranger Paul Anthony Romero.

Accompanying him were Angelique Lucia (soprano), Stefan Smith (viola), Todd Stroik (baritone) and Brock Summers (saxophone).

Their performances included a century of melodies in honor of the

Fine Arts Club, and an original composition by Mr. Romero written for the occasion.

During the evening the Fine Arts Club President Robert A. Farley inducted Stephen McCurry, Executive Director of the Pasadena Conservatory of Music, as an Honorary Member.

On display and included in the dessert was a three-foot tall Centennial Cake – a long cylinder of cake that when sliced revealed concentric circles, like the growth rings of a tree, created by Paul Gauweiler, and referred to as the King’s Baumkuchen Cake.

Hoover Dam and Memorial Bridge

By Greg Aragon There are some structures that are so massive and awe-inspiring that they must be seen in person to truly appreciate. The Hoover Dam and its new neighbor, the Mike O’Callaghan – Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, are a couple of them. Like the Great Wall in China, the Egyptian Pyramids or the Panama Canal, these incredible edifices are a testament to determination and manmade hard work.

I recently visited dam and bridge while on a getaway to Las Vegas. It was a last minute excursion from “sin city,” but turned out to be the highlight of the entire trip.

Built between 1931 and 1935, the 726-ft tall Hoover Dam is located in Black Canyon, about 30 miles southeast of Las Vegas. It spans the Colorado River between Arizona and Nevada and is operated by the Bureau of Reclamation, which is in charge of things such as flood control; water storage, hydro-

electric power; recreation; and fish and wildlife habitat.

While touring the dam, I learned that it is a concrete arch-gravity type. This means that the water load from the Colorado River is carried by both gravity action and horizontal arch action. To built it, it took a total of 21,000 men, with about 3,500 on-site daily.

It also required 5,000,000 barrels of cement, as well as the construction of many miles of associated roadways and railroads to move materials.

The first thing that struck me when seeing the giant water barrier was the amount of concrete that went into it. I read that there are 4,360,000 cubic-yards of concrete in the dam, its power plant and related facilities. This much concrete could pave a 16 ftwide highway from San Francisco to New York City.

And speaking of concrete, the new Mike O’Callaghan – Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge next to the dam has got its own impressive stats. Opened in 2010, the 2,000 ft-long structure is the main section of the Hoover Dam Bypass Project, which spans Black Canyon, connecting Arizona and Nevada. Besides being

the world’s highest concrete arch bridge, and is the first concrete-steel composite arch bridge built in the US. It incorporates a 1,060 ft-long, twin-rib concrete arch, which is the widest concrete arch in the Western Hemisphere.

At 840 ft above the Colorado River, it is the secondhighest bridge in the coun-

try, after the Royal Gorge Bridge. It was named after former Nevada Governor Mike O’Callaghan, and Pat Tillman, who left a promising career as an NFL football player to serve in the Army in Afghanistan, where he was killed. The bridge serves both cars and pedestrians.

For those who want a

more in depth look at the Hoover Dam, there are daily tours, which include a 1-hour guided tour of the powerplant, intake towers, passageways within the dam itself, and admission to the Visitor Center. Inside the Visitor Center there are rare maps and dam artifacts as well as a short film on construction,

and an observation deck with great views of Lake Mead, which was formed by the creation of Hoover Dam. Near the Visitor’s Center there is a gift shop and cafe.

PRESCRIBING FOR SLEEP APNEA? YOUR DME COMPANY LETTING YOU DOWN? If you’re frustrated with your DME provider, find out why thousands of physicians prefer “Classic”

Why Classic?

We relieve you from the burden of answering day-to-day equipment issues.

“Sleep” is our specialty. That’s right, no oxygen, scooters, wheelchairs, beds or other DME. We supply only PAP equipment and related replenishment supplies. This allows us to be real experts in what we do and to concentrate on delivering the patient care that matters. The fact we serve more than 18,000 patients over 18 states and are growing rapidly is testament to our focus and commitment to delivering timely setup and having happy and compliant patients.

able to continue to collect usage data.

Compliance through great patient care

When calling patients we use data generated from our proprietary Download on Demand® software.

This takes the raw data streams from patient’s modems, parses the data to produce compliance reports containing key data points and a graph that our clinicians use so that they can have an intelligent conversation with the patient based on that patient’s actual use of their equipment. Of course patients can (and do!) call in to our patient care center for help and advice from our clinicians at any time.

is what really sets us apart from the pack. Our licensed respiratory professionals (respiratory therapists and registered sleep techs) work with patients from the time of setup and throughout their therapy with one goal in mind…to ensure they quickly adapt to their therapy and stay compliant over time.

Our CPAP Circle of Care® program

was carefully designed to achieve this. The first step of the program is for one of our licensed respiratory therapists to complete the setup faceto-face with the patient, either in their home or their doctor’s office, usually within 72 hours of approval. Our R/T will set the machine to the prescription and then educate the patient on its use, care and maintenance. And educate the patient on what to expect over the first days and weeks of their therapy. We set up all patients on the highest quality machines fitted with wireless modems (regardless of insurance). And we leave the modems on the machine indefinitely so as to be

Interested in learning more? www.classicsleepcare.com

After setup patients are passed to our patient care center for ongoing compliance care. Our licensed clinicians make outgoing calls at 72 hours, 30 days and 90 days after setup to interdict any problems patients may be having. A field R/T will make a re-visit to a patient in their home where a problem cannot be resolved over the phone.

Download on Demand® - Driving Compliance

Our goal is to have happy, compliant patients while taking the brunt of the every-day questions patients invariably have. This relieves the burden from our referring physician’s offices who otherwise have to deal with this call volume, and depending on the experience of the doctor in this field, may not be able to answer typical questions the patient has regarding equipment issues (e.g. how to fix a leaking mask).

Skeptical?

So you’ve heard it all before? All the DME’s brag that they’re the best and have a great compliance and supply replenishment program.... everybody talks the talk...so who do you believe? Your patients...that’s who! We’ll prove it to you. Send us two or three patients and then ask your patients about the care they received and their opinion of the process... then compare the results to your existing DME provider. Talk to your staff about the interaction they have with our office. Look at our documentation. Reach out to Bill Kleiman (contact info below) to set up an inservice over lunch with your staff to go over our program and answer any questionvs you may have.

Not currently screening for Sleep Apnea?

If you are not currently screening your patients for sleep apnea and would like to learn more about how we can help you, please call.

The prescribing doctor receives documentation by eFax (or electronically via EMR system integration), starting with confirmation of receipt of the referral through every touch we have with the patient. This includes a copy of the 2-page compliance reports containing our Download on Demand® data and a copy of the notes made by our clinician during a call. Our proprietary systems automate the flow of documentation keeping referring doctors completely informed about their patients’ progress and ensure physicians have the documentation they need for follow-up consultations with their patients.

IF YOU OBJECT to the grant-ing 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 dece-dent, 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 date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the Califor-nia Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowl-edgeable 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. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Said sale will be made, in an ‘’AS IS’’ condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. 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 a 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 lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1-800-2818219 or visit this Internet Web site www. recontrustco.com, using the file number assigned to this case TS No. 12-0034395.
