Protesters assert presence during LA City Council meeting

By Eric He/City News Service

Protestersagain attempted to disrupt Tuesday’s Los Angeles City Council meeting, demand ing the resignations of embat tled Councilmen Kevin de León and Gil Cedillo for their role in the City Hall racism scandal before meetings resume, but the council persisted over chants that included: “We don’t want you coming back.”

A couple dozen protesters began chanting as Council President Paul Krekorian started the meeting, slapping benches and shouting. They chanted through the Pledge of Allegiance, through votes, through Krekorian’s attempts to call speakers to the podium for public comment and through council members’ comments on items. For two hours, the protesters never ceased to make noise. Whenever it appeared that their energy was waning, someone would start a chant, and the protest went on.

None of the people who signed up for in-person public comment approached the podium, which was crowded by protesters. Instead, some council members put on earphones to listen to those who called in to give comment, with Tuesday being the first day of a hybrid public comment system that allowed people to call in for testimony.

“Look, this is the nature of democracy,” Krekorian said at a briefing after the meeting. “Sometimes, it’s

messy. Sometimes, people get mad. And you have to try to strike that balance all the time, of people who want to

speak out and ensuring that we maximize people’s ability to actually participate and come here and see what their government is doing.”

De León and Cedillo, who have not attended a meeting in two weeks, were again

absent on Tuesday. Council woman Monica Rodriguez, who was dealing with a family emergency last week, was also absent. The rope separating the horseshoe — where the council sits — from the public was extended by

a few rows, increasing the distance between protesters and council members.

As the protesters chanted, the council members sat fairly emotionless, confer ring with staff and talking to colleagues. The only time

Krekorian asked for the protesters to quiet down was when Councilman Curren Price was about to give his opening remarks after being elected president pro tempore.

“I find it incredibly disrespectful for them to

Monrovian journalist, Ralph Walker, leaves behind momentous legacy

Georgia Valdes gvaldes@beaconmedianews.com

Monrovian resident, Ralph Walker, passed away Oct. 25 due to complications with cancer. According to Monrovian Daily News, he passed away surrounded by loved ones. Walker hosted and co-produced the nonprofit media organization, Commu nity Media of the Foothills with facilities and equip ment available for public use. He also hosted a local, public access broadcast show, “Conversations with Ralph Walker.” He was able to speak with an impressive scope of sources including Rosa Parks and Mohammad Ali.

A former Black Panther of 1960s Chicago, Walker is remembered as an impactful journalist who passed the mic to those typically unheard and/or silenced. A resident since 1988, his coverage focused on history and affairs of the city of Monrovia; a city that is 57% white and only 6% Black.

In 2020, The Monrovia ChangeMakers honored his commitment and contributions to marginal ized communities. Walker expressed a deep passion for civil rights and liberties movements. So, despite the push back he encountered, he pressed on knowing that the pressure was important.

Are you financially prepared if disaster strikes?

Natural disasters — from floods and wildfires to hurricanes, tornadoes and snowstorms — seem to be in the news all too frequently. As you watch or read stories about the challenges facing victims of the latest disaster, you might try to convince yourself that it will never happen to you.

Nearly anyone, however, may be exposed to a natural disaster at some point. Keeping you and your family safe is the ultimate priority but so is mitigating the impact of financial loss. Taking steps to be finan cially prepared for such an occurrence can determine your readiness to handle a life-changing event. Here are some things to keep in mind to help you prepare.

Proper protection in place

There may be no more important step than to make sure you have appro priate insurance coverage that is current and up-todate. This includes property and casualty insurance to protect your home, vehicles and other possessions. You’ll want to make sure your coverage is sufficient for the replacement value at today’s prices. If you believe you could be subject to a flood, you’ll need to look into a separate flood insurance policy provided through the National Flood Insurance Program. It’s important to note, most

traditional homeowner policies do not cover flood damage.

Also, make sure you have sufficient health insur ance in place too should you require medical care following a disaster.

Cash on hand

It isn’t unusual for many of the services we take for granted to be out of commission if a natural disaster should strike the area where we live. For

example, power may be out, which means ATMs will be unable to dispense cash. Internet and cell phone service could be limited as well, making it difficult to conduct any transactions online.

One solution is to make sure you keep a reason able amount of cash safely tucked away in your home so you have money that’s available to use when you need it. During times like

these, most purchases may require cash. Be sure you’ve got sufficient cash on hand that would meet your needs for a few days if you have to contend with such a drastic circumstance.

Protect key documents Important documents should be stored in a safety deposit box at a bank. This includes birth and marriage certificates, Social Security cards, passports, and titles to your home and cars. In

addition, if you have impor tant household information stored on your computer, make certain it is backed up on a hard drive that is in a safe place. Keeping infor mation on a safely stowed thumb drive that you can grab and keep with you in case of emergency may also be helpful.

Maintain an emer gency fund

Your sources of income may be interrupted, either

Horse dead, jockey injured after collision at Santa Anita Park

By City News Service

A3-year-old gelding has died after he was bumped by another horse at Santa Anita Park, dumping his jockey, who was taken to a hospital for evaluation, state horse racing officials told City News Service.

Heaven's Music had 17 career races, including a firstplace finish at Santa Anita in

May. He was hit by Mighty Matt, also a 3-year-old gelding, near the eight pole of Friday's fourth race, with both horses unseating their jockeys.

Mighty Matt walked off, but Heaven's Music suffered an ankle injury and was later euthanized, according to Mike Marten, spokesman for the California Horse Racing

Board.

"Jockey Erick Garcia, who was thrown to the ground, was transported to a hospital for evaluation," Marten told CNS.

Neither horse officially finished the race. An official steward's inquiry into the colli sion was conducted and no change was made.

Heaven's Music is the 11th

horse to die from a racing or training injury at the Arcadia track this year alone. No Ice Cream, another 3-year-old gelding, suffered a "sudden death" during training on Oct. 6, according to the CHRB.

After the completion of Santa Anita's winter-spring season in June, track officials hailed what they called major

improvements in horse safety, and called the facility the safest track in North America compared to those with similar racing and training activity.

CHRB records show a total of nine equine deaths at the track during the winter-spring season.

Park officials called the safety record a 62.5% improve

by an inability to work due to injury or because the business where you are employed may not be able to operate for a period of time. Be sure you have at least six months of living expenses set aside in a liquid, emer gency fund (bank savings account or money market fund) to meet your expenses if you should be unable to work for an extended period of time.

Natural disasters can be devastating in so many ways. While the above tips are some of the ways to financially prepare for a natural disaster, there may be additional actions you can take depending on the severity of the event and your individual circum stances. But remember: the more you can do in advance, the better prepared you will be.

A total of 42 horses died at the facility in 2019, sparking widespread debate about safety issues at the track and about horse racing in general. The uproar led to procedural and veterinary oversight changes at the park.

Riverside County County's top prosecutor incensed over mass criminal case dismissals

Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin Monday denounced Superior Court judges countywide for slicing through their backlogs stemming from past COVID-19 public health lockdowns by dismissing dozens of cases without an apparent willingness to entertain further postpone ments.

Arcadia High School pilots electronic student ID

By AUSD Digital Communications Intern Hayden Wong

Arcadia High School’s App Development Team recently began its pilot program for mobile student IDs utilizing Near Field Communication (NFC) scanners in the school’s library. This innovative tech nology has the potential to streamline identification processes throughout the school district.

NFC allows for shortdistance wireless data transmission, often utilized in mobile payments, such as Apple or Samsung Pay. The phone acts as an NFC tag that sends information to the NFC reader through radio waves.

“Throughout the pandemic, people became much more used to using this technology in stores, and in many cases, it has become second nature,” reflected Arcadia Unified Chief Strategy and Innova tion Officer Greg Gazanian.

This idea of making students’ ID cards acces sible on their phones came from Arcadia High School’s App Development Team. This team produced Arcadia High’s first-ever mobile app in 2017 and continues to maintain the app’s func tions, as well as look for ways to expand its features and usefulness for its users.

It was during a brainstorm ing session on how to improve user engagement in the Arcadia High app that the team discovered an area of opportunity.

“We thought about speeding up the lunch line because, currently, it’s really inconvenient,” Jeffrey Aaron, a junior at Arcadia High School and one of the captains of the app devel opment team, pointed out when speaking about the origin of this idea.

The inefficiency of the lunch line is often caused by students either forget ting their ID cards at home and having to punch in their ID numbers on the number pad. Additionally, given the free lunch services provided this year, students are more willing to line up for lunch.

Aaron explained that having the option to use a digital ID card speeds up the identification processes utilized throughout the Arcadia High campus, as

students typically have their phones on hand, and scanning a mobile ID only takes a second. This would provide students with an alternative option that could lead to more effi ciency at the counter and shorten up the line.

After finishing their primary testing of the NFC scanners at the library, the app development team now aims to expand this beyond the library or even through out the school district, such as the ASB office, cafeteria, and more. For example, Aaron elaborated, without the NFC scanners, students would have to tell the ASB counter their ID numbers, possibly having to repeat it and then have the staff type them out on their computer. But with the scanners,

students would place their phone on it, and when the scanners turn green, the process is complete.

“Extending that ease of use to our school sites would be helpful,” said Gazanian. “Based on the results of the pilot, we will be able to explore using this technology anywhere where ID cards are required.”

To use this new program, students must first download the Arcadia High School App from the Apple Store or the Google Play Store. Next, students would have to sign in with their school-provided Google account and click “Scan for NFC” when one is ready to scan. Lastly, a student would place their phone on the lower half of the NFC reader.

There are, however, always challenges when implementing new tech nologies like these.

Arcadia High’s App Development Team origi nally designed the code so it would work for Android phones. They soon realized that the app didn’t work with Apple phones as Apple's system blocked the usage of third-party NFC applications. The team realized it had to redesign its code for it to work on both operating systems.

“We had to completely redo the NFC reader framework and the code to support both Android and iOS,” recalled Aaron. “This also required us to rewrite part of the AHS app that contained NFC.”

In addition to rede

signing the code, the team also had to incor porate security features to prevent people from misusing others’ student IDs. One such feature is the required Google sign-in to the Arcadia High School App. This allows the app to recognize who is using the NFC feature and ensures the correct student ID is being scanned.

“In order to use the ID cards, they have to sign in with a Google account,” stressed Aaron. “Then the app knows that it's your card.”

In the future, Arcadia High’s App Development Team is looking to employ this technology in smart watches, such as the Apple Watch or the Galaxy Watch, as it will be another acces sible way of using the NFC scanners.

“It's truly amazing the opportunities that we have at Arcadia, espe cially the fact that we can propose ideas to people in our administration and then improve the school in ways that most benefit the students,” celebrated Aaron.

Career Corner: Scary interviews aren't just for dreams

By Angela COPELAND angela@copelandcoaching.com

Monrovia Old Town report: Coming to a ballot near you!

By Shawn Spencer shawn@girlfridaysolutions.net

Happy Halloween! In celebration, I want to share one of my frightening job interview stories.

Years ago, I interviewed for a job in Pittsburgh. I flew in late at night, with the interview scheduled first thing the next morning. As I unpacked, I realized I had forgotten the pants to my suit. My mind was racing as I went through the options of what to do.

Could I wear the pants I’d flown there in? No, they were sweatpants. Could I call a cab to take me to a mall? No, it was late and everything was closed. Could I have a pair of pants shipped to me from home? No, all the shippers were closed for the day.

This brainstorming went on for an hour. I wracked my brain as I tried to think of a creative solution to this big problem.

It turned out, packages could be dropped off directly at the airport until around midnight for FedEx, and could be delivered by six the next morning. The only

catch was getting the pants to the airport.

My apartment manager was the only one with a key to my apartment, but I didn’t have her phone number. So, I called a neighbor who was friends with another neighbor who had a dog that the building manager walked every day. I knew he would have the building manager’s phone, and I knew my other neighbor had the dog owner’s phone number.

After a few calls, I found the building manager’s phone number. I called and asked her to give my key to a friend who was willing to drive the pants to the airport. My friend entered my apartment and called to locate the correct pair of pants. Then, he drove them to FedEx, and mailed them.

Afterward, I alerted the hotel desk to contact me the moment the pants arrived—which they did. The interview went smoothly and nobody noticed anything unusual.

One of the questions they asked was, “Tell us about a time you encountered a

problem and were able to find a creative way to solve it.” It was the perfect oppor tunity to share my story. The interviewers were both surprised and impressed. What started as a nightmare turned out to be a big win!

I don’t remember if I got that job, but I do remember that the interview went well.

The lesson: When it comes to job interviews, don’t expect everything to go perfectly. There’s often something that will go wrong. If you can plan on that thing, it’s much easier to roll with the punches and have a positive experience.

Interviewing is not about answering every question correctly. The hiring manager is more likely to remember how they felt about you than how you answered each question. It’s like going to a live comedy show. You don’t remember each joke, but you remember whether you had a good time.

If you haven’t read your election voter guide yet, you might not be aware of Measure MM. The follow ing is informational only and is in no way me suggest ing how YOU vote. I find that a lot of people skip items they are unsure about. I’ll admit it. I’ve done it. A lower court judge on the ballot? I skipped it. Measure MM is different though, as it pertains directly to our school district.

Measure MM is a bond you’ll find on the November ballot. Its purpose is to gain voter approval for a $75 million dollar bond that will have a total payback of approxi mately $141,000,000.00. The School District would be utiliz ing financing which is similar to that of a home purchase. To the median homeowner in Monrovia, this would cost approximately $130 a year ($30 per $100,000), while the bond is outstanding.

Monrovia is the second oldest city in the San Gabriel Valley. According to an archi tectural firm hired by the district to assess our schools, it was determined that our schools and facilities need over $300 million dollars worth of repairs and upgrades.

The most recent 2006 bond was used to meet the growing needs of Monrovia High School. The remaining schools have not benefitted from any funding since the early 1970s. If Measure MM passes, funds will be used to

repair and upgrade the infra structure — the roofs, HVAC, plumbing and much more. There will also be safety and security upgrades that, in today’s climate, are urgent.

What does this mean for homeowners? Well, aside from the cost of approximately $130 per year, it will mean that the schools in Monrovia will be well-improved. Currently, the schools house children throughout the day and offer family and community events during off hours.

My kids played soccer at Clifton every weekend for years! But what is it that drives people to want to move to or purchase a home in a particu lar city? Major factors are usually the cost of living, the amenities of the city, the crime rate, and often, the quality of the schools in the district. Schools play an integral role in a homebuyer’s decisionmaking process. Addition ally, the National Bureau of Economic Research has found a definite tie between school expenditures and property values in every city. Long story short: an excellent school district will increase your property value and the desir ability of your community.

Measure MM funds will not pay for teachers or support staff. The funds will be used to improve safety and security, which we all discuss fervently whenever there is a tragic school shooting or like we just did during recent

Monrovia school campus lockdowns. The funds will also be used to obtain new equip ment and enhance career technical education. Schools will be upgraded to be more healthy, accessible (ADA) and equitable.

There will be repairs to the HVAC units, the pipes, roofs and other areas of infra structure. Drought-tolerant landscaping will be installed as well as turf fields. There will be energy upgrades, asbestos removal, simple upgrades like paint and many other improvements.

I’m not sure how I will vote on this measure, just yet. I don’t own a home, so I am considering abstaining. However, I do have children in the district, so I am consid ering fully supporting this measure. I do believe it has great merit. This isn’t just putting lipstick on a pig. These upgrades and improvements are long past due and necessary for the safety, security and educa tion of our children.

Again, this column is not meant to sway you, but to bring this measure to your attention. Please take a moment to visit yesformon roviashools.com to learn more about Measure MM prior to election day. I’m also open to any advice on whether or not I should vote on this or abstain, as a renter in Monrovia. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

He was overthrown in the

completely ignore every thing that’s been going around,” Jay Daniel, an inde pendent activist who came to support the protests, told City News Service.

Daniel added that the council members were contradicting themselves by attending the meetings after calling for de León and Cedillo to resign.

“What message are they sending when they’re trying to resume with these meetings?” Daniel said, pausing briefly from slapping the bench and yelling at the council. “We’re already having trust issues and then this happens.”

But the council contin ued with the city’s business.

Aside from electing Price to second-in-command, the council also voted to set a date in April for a special election to fill the vacant seat in the Sixth District left by former Council President Nury Martinez’s resignation.

“If we were not meeting, the people of the Sixth Council District would be disenfranchised,” Krekorian said. “A quarter of million people would be without representation, and that would not change if the council did not meet.”

Two weeks after the release of the leaked record ing from the October 2021 conversation that included racist comments and redis tricting maneuvers, de León and Cedillo have defied wide spread calls for resignation

that range from President Joe Biden and Gov. Gavin Newsom to nearly all of their council colleagues. Martinez resigned a few days after the recording was leaked.

“We’re in a position right now, because of the action of three members, that the council is really struggling to move forward to function in a normal way,” Krekorian said.

On Oct. 12, the last time the council had a meeting at City Hall, protesters chanting “No resignations, no meeting” effectively forced the council to adjourn without starting the meeting. The following meeting on Oct. 14 was canceled, and then the council met virtu ally last week after two of its members tested positive for

COVID-19.

During last week’s meetings, several callers asked for a hybrid option for public comment, pointing out that many people who would like to address the council had to be at work or otherwise could not make a midmorning trip to City Hall. These could include older adults and people experienc ing homelessness.

“I understand the pain,” Price said at the news briefing. “I understand the frustration people are feeling. I’m proud the presi dent adapted some technol ogy today to help us get through that in a way that we haven’t done before.”

Krekorian said he never considered having police clear the chamber,

as the council did over the summer under Martinez when protesters disrupted meetings over an item concerning homeless encampments. All of the council members could hear what was happening during the meeting, accord ing to Krekorian, though very few words were audible to the public sitting in the chamber over the chants. The meeting was audible on the live stream, and the council heard from 122 callers during an hour and 45 minutes of public comment.

The council president admitted that those attend ing in-person not being able to hear was “a problem” and said he would revisit the situation. The council meets next on Wednesday.

Krekorian said that if a member of the public wanted to give in-person testimony, he would “hope that the people who are trying to prevent that from happening would allow other members of the public to come down and speak.”

He stressed that clearing the chamber would be a last resort. Hearing people yell profanities was “uncomfort able,” but part of the demo cratic process, he said.

“As long as we can continue to do our business, that’s where I’m going to draw a clear line,” Kreko rian said. “People can vent. People can yell. People can be rude. That’s OK. People can’t stop the business of the City Council of Los Angeles.”

the paswsive community of people that didn’t want to be involved in situations. To stir up that mind. To create movement. Because without movement, we have stagnation,” he said. “When you want to create a change, you’ve got to move forward with what you were blessed with. I was blessed with the ability to engage in conver sation.”

In 2009, Walker was honored by Monrovia City Council for his outstanding contribution to local jour nalism. For his work, Walker was honored with the 1999 Community of the Foot hills Producer of the Year,

NEWSthe 2000 Members Choice Award from the viewers, the 2001 Members Choice Award from the viewers, the 2001 W.A.V.E. - Western Access Video Excellence, Meet the Mayor, and the Lara Laramendi Blakely 2009 Monrovia City Council Award for 15 Years of Service to the community through KGEM.

In an interview with Hanna Nielson for HeySoCal, Walker said, “its like being a vehicle for positive change. I use it to educate, in a civic manner, all walks of life in the same breath. The viewing audience is not primarily black, which is unique. I look at the pros and cons of issues. I’m not afraid

to talk about anything that’s going on, business, social, political. For some child out there, it’s important witnessing a black man hold his own in the media.”

Walker was a consistent contributor to Beacon News Media through Monrovia Weekly. His contributions ranged from conversa tions about race to local city government coverage. Former editor and photog rapher, Terry Miller, remem bers him as a “great friend” to the publication.

“He knew the under served, were really under served. And he made sure that people got recogni tion for where recognition was not ever forthcoming,

especially for black people. So he was a remarkable guy,” Miller said. “He was incredible to work with. He would be just a true gentle

man, but he wouldn't stop asking. I mean, he would bug you. Some people didn't like that very much. Because he was, you know,

assertive when he wanted to get information…but he was just an astounding guy who really cared about the history of Monrovia.”

Monkeypox and COVID-19 hurt the U.S. - It’s no coincidence

By Steve Chiang, El Monte

As of September 23, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 24,841 cases of monkeypox have been iden tified in the U.S. since the beginning of May. California has reported the most cases with 4,886 followed by New York with 3,842. Experts call for continued vigilance on other potential outbreaks.

Recently, U.S. medias have published articles criti cizing the U.S. government’s failure in combating the monkeypox pandemic. This reflects the fragility and inequity of the U.S. health care system. According to an article published on Politico, senators from both parties slammed the federal government’s response to the monkeypox outbreak during a congressional hearing on September 14, criticizing the slow vaccine rollout in the critical early stages of the spread and the enduring vaccination gaps in communities of color.

The criticism comes as the Biden administra tion scrambles to contain an outbreak that has so far infected more than 28,061 Americans, with the most cases identified around the world. The government should have learned from almost three years of the COVID pandemic and been

prepared for anything.

Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) even criticized, “By every measure, the response from the Biden administra tion on the monkeypox crisis has been a cata strophic failure.”

As political stances tend to be opposed, the two parties have frequently engaged in tug-of-war around nucleic acid testing, social distancing, wearing masks, resumption of work, distribution of medical supplies and the provisions of the relief bill, which delayed the implemen tation of anti-epidemic measures.

The U.S. implements federal, state and local government governance, which makes it more diffi cult to timely integrate and dispatch epidemic prevention resources. In addition, the U.S. lacks an effective national public health information system for pandemic response, making it difficult for the federal government to manage regional variations in supply and demand for vital resources.

The failure of the U.S. health care system has not only plunged itself into a public health crisis, but also seriously affects its allies and many countries around the world. The U.S.

inflation has increased significantly in recent years and the Federal Reserve has hiked federal funds rates 4 times in 2022. Americans and many people from other countries have suffered from surging energy, food and other living cost. Many economists have pointed out that high inflation is the result of a series of domestic and foreign policies of the U.S. government.

The overlapping outbreak of COVID-19 and monkeypox in 2022 has revealed serious flaws within the U.S. health care system. Featured with expensive medical costs, unequal access to health care and racial disparity issues. Neither the Afford able Care Act (ACA) nor the newly enforced Inflation Reduction Act will change anything intrinsically. The giant pharmaceutical enter prises in the U.S. have long taken a monopoly position in the health care market and there exist collusion among groups such as health insurance companies, pharmaceutical compa nies and health insurance management agencies. The U.S. government never truly challenged its position due to a lack of political support. Instead, the choice of differ ent health acts has actually been a bargaining chip in the bipartisan game.

El Monte Police Department announces death of Chief Ben Lowry

Funeral arrangements were pending Tuesday for El Monte Police Department Chief Ben Lowry, who died from unspecified health issues, according to a department statement.

Lowry died Monday. He was 45.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Lowry family during this difficult time," Acting Chief Jake Fisher said in a statement.

"We are all at a loss and mourning a great leader, man, husband, son, friend and colleague," Fisher added. "Chief Lowry's dedication and commitment to the department and the resi dents of El Monte will never be forgotten. Throughout his tenure, he showed his

love for the city of El Monte, leading with compassion and unity. I am grateful to have known and served with Chief Lowry for many years."

Lowry's career began in 2000 with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Depart ment, and he had been with the El Monte Police Depart ment since 2002.

Lowry was appointed interim police chief in December of 2021 and was officially appointed chief in June of 2022 following his leadership after the fatal shooting of El Monte Police Department Corporal Michael Paredes and Officer Joseph Santana.

Of their deaths, Lowry said, "I've heard the only way

to take the sting out of death is to take the love out of life."

During his years of service with the El Monte Police Department, Lowry had a number of roles within the Field Services Division, Administrative Services Division, Patrol Division, Traffic Safety Bureau, Community Relations Office, School Resource Officer program, Detective Bureau, Gang and Narcotics Unit and Records Bureau.

Funeral and memorial arrangements have yet to be announced. A memorial procession took place Monday afternoon, traveling between Foothill Commu nity Presbyterian Church in El Monte to Forest Lawn Cemetery in Covina Hills.

The Los Angeles Police Department's Major Crimes Division has opened an investigation into the leaked conversation that led to the City Hall racism scandal to determine if the conversation was recorded illegally, LAPD Chief Michel Moore said Tuesday.

"The department has initiated a criminal investigation into an allegation of eavesdrop ping relative to the (Los Angeles County Federation of Labor) meeting involv ing then-Council person Nury Martinez, Council member Gil Cedillo and Council member Kevin de León and the Fed President, Mr. (Ron) Herrera," Moore said Tuesday during media availability.

"Our Major Crimes Division is conducting that, and we will bring our results to the appropriate prosecuting agency upon completion of that investi gation."

The investigation was begun at the request of "individuals that were present at that meeting." He was asked, "So, Nury Martinez, Gil Cedillo, the president of the L.A. Fed and Kevin de León came to the LAPD and asked for an investigation into it?" Moore replied, "Yes."

"They approached the department on Friday, this past Friday, and requested that we conduct an inves tigation into the illegal recording of their private conversation," Moore said.

"The department imme diately dispatched detec tives to conduct recorded interviews of the individu als and our investigation will continue as to the facts and circumstances of how the meeting occurred and information from the victims of why they believe the recording was unlawful and also understanding from them the assertion that it was not with their permission."

Late Tuesday, a spokes

LAPD investigates leak that sparked council racism scandal

By City News Service

person for de León said the council member did not request an investigation.

It remains unknown who recorded the year-old, racism-filled conversation that took place at the offices of the L.A. County Federa tion of Labor, and who leaked it some two weeks ago -- triggering a series of events that led Martinez to step down as City Council president and then quit the council altogether, and de León and Cedillo to face relentless calls for them to resign as well.

The calls have come from virtually all their council colleagues, Mayor Eric Garcetti and as high up as President Joe Biden.

Herrera stepped down as president of the L.A. County Federation of Labor shortly after the leaked conversa tion became public.

City News Service was not immediately able to confirm who filed a report that prompted the LAPD probe.

Earlier this month, in an email sent to some of its union affiliates and first obtained by the Los Angeles Times, the L.A. Fed said there was "a serious security and privacy breach" at its offices. The federation also noted that the "illegal recordings" were posted online, but the orga nization was "successful at getting the posts removed and the unidentified user suspended."

The email stated that the federation is investigat ing the source of the leak and will "make sure these crimes are prosecuted to the full extent of the law."

California is a "twoparty consent" state, meaning that all parties - - not necessarily just two -- participating in a conver sation must give their approval for the conversa tion to be recorded. Viola tors could face both civil and criminal penalties.

De León has resisted calls for him to step down,

while a spokesman for Cedillo has repeatedly said the councilman is "at a place of reflection" - - though Cedillo only has a few weeks left on the council after losing his re-election bid.

Martinez and de León both made racially charged remarks during the conver sation as the group was discussing the politically sensitive process of redraw ing council district bound aries.

The conversation first appeared on Reddit before being removed from the social news aggregation, content rating and discus sion website.

Among other comments in the recorded conversa tion, Martinez belittled Councilman Mike Bonin, who is white and has a Black son, and criticized the child for his behavior at a Martin Luther King Day parade -- saying Bonin's son was misbehaving on a float,

which might have tipped over if she and the other women on the float didn't step in to "parent this kid."

"They're raising him like a little white kid," Martinez said. "I was like, `This kid needs a beatdown. Let me take him around the corner and then I'll bring him back."'

Martinez also called the child "ese changuito," Spanish for "that little monkey."

De León also criticized

Bonin, saying "Mike Bonin won't f---ing ever say peep about Latinos. He'll never say a f---ing word about us."

De León also compared Bonin's handling of his son at the MLK Parade to "when Nury brings her little yard bag or the Louis Vuitton bag."

"Su negrito, like on the side," Martinez added, using a Spanish term for a Black person that's considered demeaning by many.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF SHARON ELIZABETH MYERS

Case No. 22STPB10247

To all heirs, beneficiaries, cred-itors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be inter ested in the will or estate, or both, of SHARON ELIZABETH MYERS

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Karrie L. Rourick in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES.

THE PETITION FOR PRO BATE requests that Karrie L. Rourick be appointed as personal represen tative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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 approval.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and per sons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of PERLA SUSANA LEON

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Diana Viteri Perez in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Diana Viteri Perez be appointed as special administrator with general powers to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.

The independent administra-tion authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objec-tion to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on Nov. 23, 2022 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 5 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 ap-pearance 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 repre sentative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issu-ance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the Califor nia 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 knowl-edgeable in California law.
