Police commission appoints LAPD Chief Michel Moore to 2nd term

By City News Service

On a unanimous vote, Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore was appointed Tuesday to a second five-year term by the Board of Police Commissioners, but he is not expected to serve the full term.

Moore, a 40-year veteran of the department, has served as chief since 2018 when he was appointed by former Mayor Eric Garcetti. His current term ends in June.

Commissioner William J. Briggs II, president of the board, said he looked forward to continuing his work with Moore to ensure that Los Angeles remains safe from both crime and "actions that would harm our own department." Briggs, in a statement after the meeting, called Moore an "exceptional leader" who will "provide much-needed continuity" for LAPD.

Moore did not offer a statement during the meeting after the announcement of the vote, which took place in closed session. Moore told the Los Angeles Times earlier this month that he may only serve "two or three years" in a second term to allow a new chief to handle the run-up to the 2028 Olympic Games. In a statement after the vote, Mayor Karen Bass' office confirmed that plan, saying that "in line with discussions between the mayor and Chief Moore, he will not serve a full five-year term."

"At the appropriate time, in advance of global events like the 2026 World Cup and the

2028 Olympics, a nationwide search will commence and a new chief will be selected."

During a question-andanswer session with commissioners Tuesday, Moore committed to building community trust in his second term.

"We've remained committed to be highly visible and accessible, to ensure that we're not just focused on enforcement, enforcement, enforcement," Moore said. "But rather, we're focused on building community cohesion."

There was some uncertainty on whether Moore would be reappointed leading up to the meeting after Bass did not commit last month to supporting Moore when he requested a second term, noting only that she would meet with the chief.

But the mayor sent a letter to the commission Monday saying she supported Moore's reappointment, with the mayor listing a series of expectations for the department, including mental health training for all officers, increased availability of Mental Evaluation Units and elimination of all-civilian panels in Board of Rights disciplinary hearings for officers.

The commission consists of five appointees by former Mayor Eric Garcetti.

"I believe, all things considered, you've been effective in providing steady leadership to the department during some very unprecedented and challenging times," Commissioner Dale Bonner said of Moore. "I

believe you've been earnest in your efforts to move the department in a better direction."

Moore and the commission heard an hour of public comment regarding the reappointment request ahead of the vote. Many callers criticized Moore and urged the board to vote down the request. The LAPD is facing scrutiny over the deaths of three men following encounters with police in the first three days of the new year.

"My commitment is to keep going at this," Moore said. "To have an optimism that we can continue to see the evolution of policing, where we'll see communities that trust us at a greater level."

In his letter seeking reappointment, Moore cited a desire to address "significant departures of senior staff members" and to improve diversity in senior leadership positions. He also sought to restore "depleted staffing levels" as Los Angeles prepares to host the World Cup and Olympics in the coming years.

A California Community Poll conducted a few weeks ago found that LAPD received a 55% favorability assessment, with 33% having an unfavorable opinion of the department.

Another survey, conducted by Loyola Marymount University, on police and community relations released in September had mixed results.

Trust in the LAPD increased by seven percentage points from 2020. Fifty-eight

percent of respondents said they would trust the department to do what is right "just about always" or "most of the time," compared to 51% in 2020. That figure was below the level of trust in nonpolice alternatives (63%), but higher than trust in city government (47%) and the media (38%).

Just 16% of respondents were "very satisfied" with the LAPD's performance,

with half of those surveyed answering they were "somewhat satisfied." The remaining third were either "not very satisfied" or "not at all satisfied." Two-thirds of Angelenos believed that the LAPD racially profiles Black people at a higher rate than other groups.

The percentage of respondents who described their experiences with LAPD

officers as "mostly positive" also dropped from 47% to 41% over the last two years.

Moore joined the Los Angeles Police Department in 1981. He was promoted to captain in 1998. His assignments included assuming command at Rampart Area following the arrest of Rafael Perez and during the 2000 Democratic National Convention.

American Heart Association reports significant increase in US cardiovascular deaths

By Staff

More people died from cardiovascular-related causes in 2020, the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, than in any year since 2003, with the largest increases in deaths among Asians, Blacks and Hispanics, according to the American Heart Association 2023 Statistical Update.

The association's 2023 Statistical Update reported that the number of people dying from cardiovascular disease, or CVD, in the U.S. escalated during the first year of the pandemic from 874,613 CVD-related deaths in 2019 to 928,741 in 2020.

The rise in the number of CVD deaths in 2020 represents the largest single-year increase since 2015 and surpassed the previous high of 910,000 in 2003.

“While the total number of CVD-related deaths increased from 2019 to 2020, what may be even more telling is that our age-adjusted mortality rate increased for the first time in many years and by a fairly substantial 4.6%,” Dr. Connie W. Tsao, chair of the Statistical Update writing group, said in a statement.

“The age-adjusted mortality rate takes into consideration that the total population may have more older adults from one year to another, in which case you might expect higher rates of death among older people," said Tsao, who is also a Harvard Medical School professor and cardiologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.

"So even though our total number of deaths have been slowly increasing over the past decade, we have seen a decline each year in our ageadjusted rates – until 2020. I think that is very indicative of what has been going on within our country – and the world – in light of people of all ages being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially before vaccines were available to slow the spread.”

The largest increases in the number of cardiovascular-related deaths occurred among Asian, Black and Hispanic people — populations most impacted in the early days of the pandemic, according to the AHA.

“We know that COVID-19 took a tremendous toll, and preliminary data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have shown that there was a substantial increase in the loss of lives from all causes since the start of the pandemic. That this likely translated to an increase in overall cardiovascular deaths, while disheartening, is not surprising. In fact, the Association predicted this trend, which is now official,”

AHA President Dr. Michelle A. Albert said in a statement.

“COVID-19 has both direct and indirect impacts on cardiovascular health. As we learned, the virus is associated with new clotting and inflammation," said Albert, the admissions dean and a professor at the UC San Francisco Medical

School. "We also know that many people who had new or existing heart disease and stroke symptoms were reluctant to seek medical care, particularly in the early days of the pandemic. This resulted in people presenting with more advanced stages of cardiovascular conditions and needing more acute or urgent treatment for what may have been manageable chronic conditions. And, sadly, appears to have cost many their lives.”

According to Albert, who is the director of the CeNter for the StUdy of AdveRsiTy and CardiovascUlaR DiseasE, or NURTURE Center, at UCSF and a leader in health equity and adversity research, the larger increases in the number of coronary heart disease deaths among adults of Asian, Black and Hispanic populations appear to be linked with the people most often infected with COVID19.

“People from communities of color were among those more highly impacted, especially early on, often due

to a disproportionate burden of cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension and obesity. Additionally, there are socioeconomic considerations, as well as the ongoing impact of structural racism on multiple factors including limiting the ability to access quality health care,” Albert said. “The American Heart Association responded quickly at the beginning of the pandemic to address the impact of COVID-19 and focus on equitable health for all. The Association launched the first-ever rapid response research grants calling on the research community to quickly turn around transformative science; established a COVID-19 CVD hospital registry through the Get With The Guidelines quality initiative; and also made an unprecedented pledge to aggressively address social determinants while working to support and improve the equitable health of all communities. We are empowering real change that will save lives.”

Cardiovascular disease

such as obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure, all of which also put people at increased risk for COVID. Many of the studies noted identify specific gender, race and ethnicity disparities. Disparities don't solely occur among age, sex and racial or ethnic groups, according to the Statistical Update's writing committee. While the Update has been including a variety of social factors affecting health data in its report, the commentary noted that data from other underrepresented populations, such as LGBTQ people and people living in rural vs. urban areas of the U.S. are still lacking. The commentary authors note the lack of scientific research and cumulative data on the impacts of social identity and social determinants.

includes coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure and hypertension/high blood pressure, according to the AHA. Coronary heart disease includes clogged arteries or atherosclerosis of the heart, which can result in a heart attack, and is the leading cause of death in the U.S.

Stroke continues to rank fifth among all causes of death behind heart disease, cancer, COVID-19 and unintentional injuries or accidents, the AHA reported. COVID-19 made the list of leading causes of death for the first time in 2020, the most recent year for which final statistics are available from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The 2023 AHA Statistical Update includes many references to COVID-19 and its impact on cardiovascular disease. Data points and scientific research findings are inserted throughout most chapters of the document, including those related to the risk factors for heart disease and stroke

“We know that to address discrimination and disparities that impact health, we must better recognize and understand the unique experiences of individuals and populations. This year’s writing group made a concerted effort to gather information on specific social factors related to health risk and outcomes, including sexual orientation, gender identity, urbanization and socioeconomic position,” Tsao said. “However, the data are lacking because these communities are grossly underrepresented in clinical and epidemiological research. We are hopeful that this gap in literature will be filled in coming years as it will be critical to the American Heart Association’s goal to achieve cardiovascular health equity for all in the U.S. and globally.”

Globally, cardiovascular disease continues to be the no. 1 killer, taking the lives of more than 19 million people each year. However, the risk factors that lead to heart disease and stroke continue to disproportionately impact certain populations in the U.S. as well as around the world.

WHY DOES PRICE MATTER?

Re: “Remaining Monterey Park shooting victims identified” (Jan. 26 issue)

By reason of also being a ballroom dancing aficionado, I became acquainted with Valentino Alvero, who was one of the victims of the deranged shooter who took the lives of eleven Lunar New Year celebrants in Monterey Park.

Besides Monterey Park, Valentino often graced the San Gabriel Elks’ dance floor with his presence, where he was admired by all of its members as a real gentleman — friendly towards all and never aloof. And we all enjoyed seeing him dancing with his lovely dance partner.

Farewell, Valentino — and Godspeed. I’ll honor your memory, as well as that of all the other dancers who died with you prematurely, by living my life with a deeper awareness of its impermanence — and loving with more tenderness all those whom I cherish.

Monrovia Old Town report: Shooby Dooby Doooo

By Shawn Spencer shawn@girlfridaysolutions.net

Love is in the air, and what better way to experience it than a carriage ride through lovely Old Town Monrovia? This romantic ride is available for one night only on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14. Rides are available from 5-9:30 p.m. The cost is $40 per ride and each ride is 15 minutes long. Call 626-256-8246 to reserve your spot before this lovefest sells out.

Speaking of love, as most of you know, our beloved Steve Baker, city treasurer, historian and all-around amazing man, passed away in April of 2022. Since his passing, many have been trying to find a way to honor him in the city where he was invaluable, completely irreplaceable and so loved.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the upcoming development of his Ivy properties into a bed and breakfast. While I cannot wait for that project to move

forward, there is more fantastic news. A group of organizations have found a wonderfully fitting way to honor Steve. A “Steve Baker Bear” will be added to our collection of citywide art in public places bears. The Steve Baker Bear will don a top hat and tails, which was Steve’s signature look, especially when giving his historic tours through town. A GoFundMe page has been set up to raise funds for the installation and long term maintenance of the bear. Placement of the Steve Baker bear is still under consideration. To donate to this wonderful cause, please visit www. gofundme.com/f/stevebaker-bear. This will be our best bear yet.

On Feb. 13, our annual State of the City will be held at LOOK Cinema. Join your city leaders and community members at 6 p.m., and learn about all of the wonderful things

our city has accomplished on behalf of Monrovia and its residents in the past year. You will also get a peek at things to come for Monrovia in 2023. This is a great way to be “in the know” when it comes to important things happening in our city. This event will also be shown on KGEM and their YouTube channel, so you can watch it at your convenience in your PJs if you prefer.

On Feb. 5, the Monrovia Duarte Black Alumni Association will kick off Black History Month. The kickoff will be at the Duarte Historical Museum from 2-4 p.m., at 777 Encanto Parkway in Duarte. On Feb. 11, the MDBAA will hold a Black History Month Health Fair and Workshop from 10 a.m.–2 p.m., at the Monrovia Community Center. There will be workshops covering various health related topics, such as holistic living, cancer awareness, heart healthi -

ness, life coaching and more. Don’t miss these free events. Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to your health!

Finally, on Feb. 19, join the Monrovia Historical Society from 2-4 p.m., for their open house and grand re-opening of the newly restored George H. Anderson House. The ribbon cutting is scheduled for 2:15 p.m. Admission is free and no RSVP is necessary. Light refreshments will be provided. If you have kept track of this project over the years, then you won’t want to miss this unveiling. For more information, call Sandy Burud at 626-675-8323.

Enjoy these beautiful, crisp Monrovia days! Our mountains look majestic and are so green and beautiful. Thanks to all of this rain, a.k.a. weather, we are going to have a gorgeous spring. Enjoy, but don’t go hosing down your driveway just yet!

Alhambra honors hero who disarmed Monterey Park mass killer

By City News Service and Staff

Aweek after the slaying of 11 people at a Monterey Park dance studio, the neighboring city of Alhambra held a daylong Lunar New Year festival Sunday, including a special ceremony honoring the man who disarmed the Monterey Park gunman.

Brandon Tsay, 26, received a "medal of courage" from the Alhambra Police Department and other honors, including from Los Angeles County Assessor Jeff Prang, during a ceremony on the festival's main stage.

Tsay confronted 72-yearold gunman Huu Can Tran when Tran walked into the Lai Lai Ballroom and Studio in Alhambra on the night of Jan. 21. Unbeknownst to Tsay at the time, Tran had just shot 20 people -- 11 fatally -- at a dance studio in Monterey Park less than 20 minutes earlier.

Tsay attacked the gunman and wrestled away his weapon in a struggle captured on surveillance video that has gone viral. After being disarmed, the gunman fled. Tsay has been hailed as a hero by state and local officials, even receiving a phone call Thursday from President Joe Biden.

"I wanted to call to see how you're doing and thank you for taking such incredible action in the face of danger. I don't think you understand just how much you've done for so many people who are never even going to know you," Biden told Tsay. "But I want them to know more about you."

Tsay repeatedly thanked Biden for the phone call, saying, "For you to call, that's just too comforting to me."

He later added, "I appreciate your words of kindness. Thank you, President Biden."

Biden told Tsay, "You have my respect."

"You are America, pal. You are who we are," Biden said. "America's never backed down. We've always stepped up, because of people like you."

In an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America" last

week, Tsay said that when he saw the gunman walk into the Lai Lai studio -- which his family operates -- he thought, "I was going to die here."

Tsay said the gunman was "looking around the room" as if he was "looking for targets."

"He started prepping the weapon and something came over me," Tsay said. "I realized I needed to get the weapon away from him. I needed to take this weapon, disarm him or else everybody would have died.

"When I got the courage, I lunged at him with both my hands, grabbed the weapon and we had a struggle. We struggled into the lobby, trying to get this gun away from each other. He was hitting me across the face, bashing the back of my head."

Tsay said he used his elbows to try to dislodge the gun from the man's hands, and eventually after a life-ordeath struggle, he managed to grab the weapon and point it at the man. He said he yelled at the man to "get the hell out of here," threatening to shoot.

"I thought he would run away, but he was just standing there contemplating whether to fight or to run," Tsay said. "I really thought I would have to shoot him and he came at me. This is when he turned around and walked out the door, jogged back to his van. I immediately called police with the gun still in my hand."

Tsay said he did not recognize the gunman. He was left shaken by the violent

encounter.

"I was shaking all night. I couldn't believe what happened," he told ABC. "A lot of people have been telling me how much courage I had to confront a situation like this. But you know what courage is? Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the ability to have adversity to fear when fearful events happen such as this.

"In crises like this, the people need courage, especially the victims, their friends, their families. My heart goes out to everybody involved, especially the people in Star Dance Studio and Monterey Park. I hope they can find the courage and the strength to persevere."

The Alhambra Lunar New Year Festival featured music, dance performances, cultural performances and other activities

The event also included a remembrance ceremony to honor the victims of the Monterey Park shooting, which occurred following that city's Lunar New Year Festival. Organizers noted that in light of the shooting, Sunday's festival would be "slightly more subdued" than usual.

"Creating community is an important goal under any circumstance," John Bwarie, CEO of the Alhambra Chamber of Commerce, said in a statement ahead of the festival. "Now we find that the ties between us matter most, because we can face this tragedy together and rise above it."

Avid bike riders will have the chance to participate in the 45th Annual L.A. Chinatown Firecracker Run (LACFR) to be held on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 18 and 19, 2023. One of the largest and oldest running races in the U.S., this year’s event incorporates a 40-mile bike ride through Pasadena which starts and ends at the Chinatown Plaza on Broadway. The bike ride route includes Linda Vista Avenue, Woodbury Road, New York Drive, Huntington Drive, Sierra Madre Boulevard, Mission Road, Altadena Drive, among other streets in the San Gabriel Valley. More information is available at firecracker10k. org/bike.

If you’re not a bikeriding enthusiast, though, there are still events you can join, like a 5K or 10K run/ walk; even children and dogs can be part of the fun with the 1K kiddie and PAW’er dog run/walk. Registration is open on RaceJoy App and the fee is $30 to $65; participants can attend in person or virtually.

Each registered participant receives a commemorative 2023 Firecracker race bib, exclusive collectible finisher’s medal, limited edition commemorative t-shirt, goody bag, and much more. Additionally, participants and their guests will enjoy the Lunar New Year Celebration in the heart of historic Chinatown with an opening ceremony filled with lion dancers and the traditional lighting of 100,000 firecrackers.

expo includes vendors and booths as well as a new Chalk Art Festival and Boba Garden.

An article in the Belmont High School Alumni News in 2022 chronicles LACFR’s humble beginnings in 1978 when Belmont High School (Home of the Sentinels) alumnus Edmund Soohoo (class of 1966) and Helen Young, founding member of the Echo Park Lotus Festival, put their heads together to figure out what else they could do to celebrate the Lunar New Year besides the Golden Dragon Parade already being held annually. She suggested a marathon or a bike race but he thought Chinatown’s streets are probably too hilly for a full marathon, but a 10K would probably work. So he ran with the idea; he started researching and asking who could help organize such an event.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that it took a village to get the first event off the ground — as the Alumni News article recounts. Soohoo contacted a colleague, Fred Honda, who was head of municipal sports for Recreation and Parks; Honda introduced Soohoo to Bob Burke, director of the LAPD Police Olympics, a runner on their long-distance relay team, and a founding member of the California Police Athletic Federation Board of Directors. Burke (1932-2015) then connected Soohoo to Andy Bakjian and Mel Schlossman (1925-1980). Bakjian (1914-1986) was the head track coach at Jefferson High School and led his team to the 1964 CIF California State Meet team title. He later

became the Commissioner of Officials for the So Cal Association of the AAU in 1969, and he chaired the panel that selected the officials to work the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in L.A. Schlossman taught at Fairfax High School and coordinated cross country and track and field events for LAUSD. The four of them began organizing the first Firecracker 10K.

After a year of planning, Soohoo and his crew were ready to launch the race. To spread the word about the new run, volunteers made and distributed leaflets, putting them on car windshields and handing them out to participants at local runs and small races. Wilbur Woo (1916-2012), president of Chinatown’s Cathay Bank, gave Soohoo his personal check to cover the cost of the first t-shirt order.

For that initial 10K in 1979, just over 1,000 runners lined up at Chinatown’s

Central Plaza. Over the years, additional events were added to encourage participants of all ages and interests. Today, Firecracker events include a 5K run/walk, a bike ride, a kiddie run, and a PAW’er dog walk. Participation has grown to nearly 10,000. The event is no longer just a local one; every year, Firecracker L.A.-sponsored events attract hundreds of newcomers to Chinatown.

Interviewed by email, LACFR’s Secretary and Founding Board Member Edmund Soohoo talks about the organization’s initial membership to its present day goals. While Belmont High School’s 2022 student population is made up of 87 percent Hispanic and Latino Americans, with Asian Americans making up the second largest group at 7 percent, he clarifies, “At the time of the organization’s founding the student body was more diverse — with

whites, Japanese, African Americans, Chinese, Italians.

The initial committee grew to include Latinos, whites and Japanese as well. All of us belonged to community organizations that included members from other races, cultures as well as their other community advocates supporting each other.”

The Firecracker Run attracted attention from the beginning. Soohoo states, “The event drew a wide, diverse audience from day one. It was an opportunity for the greater running community to experience running in a historic community through the scenic and hilly route in Elysian Park.”

In time, what started as a 10K run expanded to what it is today. Soohoo explains, “The kiddie run came about organically. We grew as our runners started families and wanted to involve their children as well. The PAW'er

walk came about much later, as many of our committee members had pets, dogs, and thought it would be a good addition to support healthy lifestyles.”

Soohoo anticipates a bright future, “Each generation — including millennials and Gen Zs — finds their way to events that promote healthy lifestyles, in historic communities, that are authentic with real people from the community and fun for the entire family. Through more marketing, social media, and building upon our assets, we will expand this event. And allowing the next generation to take responsibility to grow Firecracker in their own creative ways!”

It’s heartwarming how a simple idea that a handful of Sentinels conceived came to blossom into such a hugely successful event. Being fit and healthy has never been more fun!

Monrovia Chamber raising money for Steve Baker memorial

To honor Monrovia’s beloved and ubiquitous city treasure and historian Steve Baker, who passed away in April of 2022, the Monrovia Chamber of

Commerce is raising money to install and maintain a “Steve Baker Bear.”

According to the Chamber, contributions from local organizations is paying

for the bear and contributions from the GoFundMe fundraiser will help pay for “long-term maintenance for years to come.”

As part of Monro-

via’s efforts to display art in public places, the city installed multiple Samson the Bear statues — honoring the famous hot tub-loving black

bear — around town. The proposed Steve Baker Bear will include a top hat and tails, designed after Baker’s signature outfits. As of yet, no location placement has

been decided for the bear.
