of the new ordinances in conjunction with Supervisor Hilda Solis.

The action bans sale of guns or ammunition of .50 or more and the carrying of firearms except by sworn officers on county property, such as parks.

The board also called for the development of an ordinance that would create a 1,000-foot buffer zone between gun stores and "child-sensitive areas" such as schools. It also requested the drafting of an ordinance that would require all privately owned firearms to be kept under lock and key, and one that would mandate liability insurance for gun owners. It also voted to explore the feasibility of developing a county gun database.

of the initial ordinances by county attorneys.

The board also voted to support the bid by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D- California, to reestablish the 10-year national assault rifle ban and to forbid the sale of such firearms and high capacity magazines to those under 21.

Sam Paredes, executive director of the California Gunowners' Association, said he was skeptical the Feinstein measure would pass.

"Ms. Feinstein has been in the Senate for a long time," he said. "She keeps resubmitting the same measure every session. I don't think it will pass the Senate. It certainly won't make it through the House."

Following the recent rash of fatal mass shootings throughout the state, members of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Tuesday

approved a series of new laws tightening regulations on the sale and possession of guns in unincorporated areas.

"We know that blame for

the gun violence epidemic lies with the failure of congressional leaders to pass even the most basic federal gun laws," board Chair Janice Hahn said in a statement

following the vote. "Because they have not acted, we have found actions we can take at the county level to protect lives."

Hahn proposed many

The new and proposed ordinances were the result of a study requested by the board last year in an effort to identify locally enforceable measures to regulate guns. That study led to a drafting

LA council committee recommends stricter lobbying regulations

By Eric He, City News Service

In a step toward reforming Los Angeles’ lobbying ordinance for the first time in decades, the City Council’s ad hoc committee on governance reform recommended approval Monday of an ethics commission report that would place stricter rules on people or organizations looking to impact city policy.

The city’s Municipal Lobbying Ordinance has

not been comprehensively updated since its adoption in 1994, with two prior recommendations by the ethics commission expiring after the council did not take action on them.

But the racist audio leaked last October involving three council members — two now former members — spurred the creation of the special council commit-

tee, which took up the ethics commission’s May 2022 recommendations on Monday.

The committee, chaired by Council President Paul Krekorian, signed off on the recommendations with several amendments. Krekorian noted that lobbying reform was just one of several proposals that were left “to die in the darkness

by never being referred out of the rules committee.”

That committee had formerly been chaired by Nury Martinez, the former Council President who resigned in October for taking part in the racist conversation. Former Councilman Gil Cedillo and current Councilman Kevin de León also took

By Tim Haddock, City News Service

Janet Jackson will open the Hollywood Bowl's summer season, which will also include appearances by The Beach Boys, They Might Be Giants, Kool & The Gang and Village People, along with an array of jazz, R&B, soul and classical performances, the Los Angeles Philharmonic announced Tuesday

"As we look to the next hundred years at the Hollywood Bowl, I am honored and excited to share a season which, to me, speaks of a beautiful future ahead," LA Phil Music and Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel said in a statement. "From timeless music by Mendelssohn, de Falla and Verdi, to modern-day classics by John Williams and Duke Ellington, to the soulfilling sounds of our Pan-American Music Initiative, to the singular energy of Café Tacvba, each of these programs takes us on the kind of magic journey that can only begin at the Bowl."

Janet Jackson's opening night performance will be June 10, also featuring rapper Ludacris and the Youth Orchestra Los Angeles, YOLA.

Other featured performances during the season will be the Beach Boys during the annual Fourth of July fireworks shows, a July 14-15 stint by Kool & The Gang and Village People, a July 16 double-bill of Sparks and They Might Be Giants, and a 90th birthday celebration for Quincy Jones on July 28-29.

Other acts gracing the iconic stage will include Culture Club, Louis Tomlinson, Air Supply, Michael Bolton, Charlie Wilson, Joe Bonamassa, Gladys Knight, Buddy Guy and Maxwell.

Oscar-winning composer John Williams will return to the Bowl again July 7-9 for his annual "Maestro of the Movies" performances, featuring works from his career including "Star Wars," "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Jaws."

The Bowl will also play host to several film screenings with live musical accompaniment. This year's slate includes "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" on June 24, "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" on Sept. 1-2, and "2001: A Space Odyssey" on Aug. 3.

Also returning will be the popular "Sound of Music" sing-along, hosted by Melissa Peterman, on Sept. 16.

The shot LeBron James scored to break the NBA scoring record will go down as an iconic moment in Los Angeles Lakers history, in Los Angeles sports history.

James scored on a fadeaway jumper with 10.9 seconds left in the third quarter of Tuesday night's game against the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder at Crypto.com Arena and passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA's all-time scoring leader with 38,388 points.

It was a shot on par with Magic Johnson's baby hook to win Game 4 of the 1987 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics. It matched the shot Derek Fisher made with 0.4 seconds left to win Game 5 of the 2004 Western Conference Finals against the Sacramento Kings. It was as big as any of the shots Kobe Bryant made in his 81-point game in 2006 against the Toronto Raptors. It was as unstoppable as any of the sky hooks AbdulJabbar made in his career with the Lakers.

After the game, James, who scored 38 points in his team's 133-130 loss to the Thunder, said he wanted to add a signature touch to his record-breaking basket.

"I know a lot of people wanted me to go to the skyhook to break the record or one of my signature

dunks," James said after the game. "But my fadeaway is a signature play as well. I was able to get it and touch nothing but the bottom of the net."

Abdul-Jabbar witnessed the record-breaking moment from the stands. He was one of several celebrities who were in attendance for the game. Denzel Washington, Jay-Z, Bad Bunny, LL Cool J, Usher and Andy Garcia were on hand for the historic moment in NBA history. Lakers legends James Worthy, Bob McAdoo and Johnson, along with Dwyane Wade, who played with James on two NBA championship teams with the Miami Heat, were also in the arena for the game.

After James scored the record-breaking basket, the game stopped for about 10 minutes for a brief ceremony to commemorate the moment. James hugged his family, wife, mother and three children, and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver congratulated James for breaking the record.

James thanked the Lakers' fans and posed for pictures with Silver and Abdul-Jabbar.

James entered the game needing 36 points to pass Abdul-Jabbar for the scoring record. He scored 20 points in the first half of the game and added 16 points in the third quarter. His 14-foot fadeaway at the end of the

third quarter was the shot that put him over the top.

"I just played the game as it is supposed to be played tonight, as I've always done. Didn't press myself. ... When it comes to the record I felt pretty good, good rhythm," James said. "To break the record, I was able to get to a good spot on the floor where I am really comfortable with and get to one of my patented fadeaway shots."

He finished the game with 38 points on 13-of-20 shooting and made four 3-pointers. He added seven rebounds, three assists and three steals.

After the game, he paid homage to NBA greats, Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Oscar Robertson, Elgin Baylor, and Johnson and Abdul-Jabbar.

"I could be up here all night talking about these great legends," he said.

"For me personally it's an honor to just be named with the greats, being in the conversation with the greats who played this game before me and some of the greats that's playing right now."

The scoring record stood for 38 years, set by AbdulJabbar in 1984 when he passed Chamberlain. The 38-year-old James was born about nine months after Abdul-Jabbar set the scoring

My wife and I agree that if we were young and had a newborn son, we’d name him Brandon in honor of Brandon Tsay, the local hero who did what is the foremost duty in all societies: To protect one’s fellow humans from harm.

Brandon Tsay risked his own life when he confronted and wrestled away the gun from the man who, just minutes before, had shot 20 people (11 fatally) in a Monterey Park ballroom.

And we’d make sure that our son never forgot that remarkable young man whose name he bore.

Career corner: The stories we tell ourselves

By Angela COPELAND angela@copelandcoaching.com

Interviewing for jobs is hard. Getting an interview is hard. This is especially true when you don't know someone already at the company where you're applying. Through the process of automated email rejections to our job applications, we try to make sense of it all. It's human nature to try to piece together what we can't see. It helps us to feel more in control. It helps to try to perform better the next time, if only we understood what went wrong now.

When I hear from job seekers, they are almost always beat down. It's a lot like dating. The entire process can be rough until you find the one person you happen to click with. Until that point, the experience is a sea of rejections and unanswered questions. When you ask a job seeker why they weren't hired, you'll hear common themes. "I didn't meet the minimum number of years of experience required." "I've never worked

in that industry before." "They weren't impressed with my job history."

What is interesting is what comes next. If you ask the same jobseeker how they received this feedback, they didn't. Very often, they never got a job interview. But, because the job description was so extensive, it's easy to find a spot where their experience didn't align with the job posting. That's right. They deducted that they weren't a match based on what they know about the role.

The problem is, this logic is flawed. Don't get me wrong. The job seeker could be correct. But, more than likely, a human never saw their job application at all. Unfortunately, the system of applying online is flawed. And, beyond that, online job postings allow hundreds of people to apply to a single posting with just a few clicks.

Sadly, job searching has evolved into a numbers game. In order to find a new

job, I suggest job seekers try to set a goal to apply to 100 jobs. The number seems high, but it's about increasing your odds. The more applications you put in (for roles you're a fit for), the more likely you are to get an interview. The more often you have a friend refer you to a role who already works at the company, the more likely you are to get an interview. The more often you email the hiring manager directly, the more likely you are to get an interview. Getting an interview is key. If you don't speak

to a human, it's possible a human never saw your resume. That's why applying to so many jobs is important. And, that's why going the extra mile by tapping your network is important. Set goals, and stick to them. When you are rejected, try to accept that a large part of the problem is the system. Every rejection should not be taken as a personal attack, but as a message to keep applying to other opportunities.

LA County looks to expand accessibility of doula services

By City News Service

Continued Krekorian

part.

T

he county Board of Supervisors Tuesday unanimously supported a program to expand doula services across the area by making them more accessible and conducting outreach to increase the size of the doula workforce.

"Across the nation, maternal and infant mortality rates are exponentially higher for Black people than any other group," Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell, who introduced the motion, said in a statement. "Doula care is shown to improve pregnancy experiences and birthing outcomes. We must increase awareness of doula services for mothers and families across the county and expand our workforce to be more representative of our communities most in need. This motion helps us achieve this by investing inSleeping newborn. | Photo by Carlo Navarro on Unsplash

the success of our new doula Medi-Cal benefit."

The motion approved by the board directs the Department of Public Health to work with other agencies -including the Department of Health Services and the AntiRacism, Diversity and Inclusion initiative -- and report back in 60 days with a plan to create a "hub" for doula service providers, making their services more readily available. It also calls for an outreach program to recruit more doulas, who provide

support for pregnant women during labor, childbirth and beyon

According to Mitchell's office, doula services have been found to reduce the rate of pre-term and Caesarean births and decrease symptoms of postpartum depression. Her office also noted that the Black infant mortality rate in the county is triple the rate of white infants, and the Black maternal mortality rate is four times that of white maternal mortality.

Monrovia Unified to host first ever School Showcase on Feb. 16

By Staff

Krekorian, who did not mention Martinez by name, promised to “one-byone” take up the topics for discussion.

“We’re at least going to make every effort to bring them to the light of day,” Krekorian said.

The ethics commission recommended setting a compensation limit of $5,000 received in a calendar year before someone must register as a lobbyist. Of the 10 largest cities in the country, only Los Angeles does not have a lobbyist registration threshold that is based on compensation.

Currently, the city defines a lobbyist as anyone who engages in lobbying activity for 30 or more hours in a threemonth period, but the commission noted it poses a compliance and enforcement challenge because tracking hours can be difficult.

The change would be important in order to more “capture individuals that are paid substantial amounts of money that are spending little amounts of time reaching out to city officials,” according to David Tristan, executive director of the ethics commission.

Another recommendation would require lobbyists to identify their positions on the matters about which they are lobbying.

On fundraising, the commission called for requiring disclosures when lobbyists distribute political fundraiser solicitations to 15 or more people, a reduction from the current 50-copy threshold.

Several neighborhood council representatives called into the meeting to point out a recent incident in which a lobbyist spoke at a neighborhood council meeting without identifying himself. One of the commission’s recommendations — later amended by the committee to include all city personnel — was for lobbyists to disclose themselves and the identity of their client when communicating in any way with neighborhood councils.

— mandating lobbying records are maintained for five years;

— requiring that lobbyists disclose themselves and their client when giving public comment or communicating with city personnel;

— prohibiting lobbyists from delivering or bundling campaign contributions for elected officials or candidates for office;

— including issues not presented in a council file or official report in the term “city matter,” if a lobbying entity or their client brings it up, and

— removing clients of lobbyists from being defined as a “restricted source” under the governmental ethics ordinance.

The committee also sought a report on how the city could mandate disclosure of anyone who is being compensated to speak on an issue at a public meeting, beyond lobbying activity.

Councilwoman Nithya Raman, vice chair of the committee, who proposed most of the amendments in an October 2022 motion, called the ethics commission’s recommendations a “thoughtful and necessary set of improvements to the municipal lobbying ordinance.”

“We’re giving the public more of a window into what happens at City Hall, about how decisions are made, about who is influencing those decisions,” Raman said. “They have a right to know. I feel like there is no clearer moment, no more urgent moment for us to take action than right now.”

Separately, the committee voted 6-0 to oppose Senate Bill 52, proposed legislation in the state legislature to establish an independent redistricting commission in Los Angeles. The legislation, introduced in December, appears to run parallel to the City Council’s own efforts to reform its redistricting process.

Monrovia Unified School District announced that they are hosting its inaugural School Showcase event on Thursday, Feb. 16, at Monrovia High School. Current and prospective students and families are invited, as are community members and alumni. The event will allow everyone to learn more about Monrovia’s award-winning schools, programs and partnerships.

In addition to discovering all the opportunities the school district has to offer, guests will also enjoy student performances and tasty treats from food trucks. Enrollment and employment information will also be available for those interested in joining Monrovia Unified School District.

The Feb. 16 event will be taking place from 6 p.m. through 8 p.m., located at the Monrovia High School Event Center on 845 W. Colorado Blvd.

For more information, you can get in touch with the district office at (626) 471-2031.

Regarding gifts, the commission called to close a loophole that would allow a client of a lobbyist to make gifts, as that restriction applies to the lobbyists but not to their clients — who have the “greatest interest in the outcome of a city decision.”

The commission had also proposed broader exemptions for nonprofits, but the committee decided to eliminate a $2 million annual gross receipts threshold as well as a condition that organizations providing “assistance to disadvantaged people without charge or at a significantly below-market rate” would be exempt from registering as a lobbying entity.

Other amendments made by the committee to the report include:

John Wickham, assistant chief legislative analyst, told the committee that the office was in the process of preparing a detailed report on the process of creating an independent redistricting commission. He said the council would have to consider several key issues, including the length and term of the commission, the number of commissioners, how much independence the commission would have and how to integrate the potential expansion of the council with changes in the redistricting process.

Even if SB 52 is passed, it is unclear whether it would immediately apply to the city of Los Angeles because the redistricting process is defined in the city charter — which can only be amended via an election.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City Council will consider whether adoption of the proposed Zoning Code Amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15061(b)(3), the “common sense rule” that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and that where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Since the proposed changes are limited to procedures and requirements for Planned Developments and do not pertain to any specific land use permissions or development standards, there is no possibility that the amendments will have a significant effect on the environment.

PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: On September 28, 2022, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and recommended approval of the environmental determination, adoption of the required findings, and approval of the Zoning Code Amendment to eliminate the ability for future Planned Development applications to be submitted to the City.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council will hold a public hearing to receive testimony, oral and written, on the proposed Zoning Code Amendment and environmental determination. The hearing is scheduled for:

Date: Monday, February 27, 2023

Time: 5:30 p.m.

Place: City Hall Council Chambers, Room S249

100 North Garfield Avenue

Public Information: Any interested party or their representative may appear at the meeting and comment on the project.

Gustavo Dudamel leaving LA Philharmonic for New York Phil in 2026

record on April 5, 1984.

Lakers forward Thomas Bryant, who was on the court with James when he broke the record, said it was "absolutely amazing."

"It doesn't happen in a lifetime — someone breaks the scoring record that no one thought would ever be broken," he said.

Lakers coach Darvin Ham said after the game James' teammates wanted to see him break the record, and that might have been a distraction and led to the Lakers' loss.

"The focus was more about trying to get LeBron to the record as opposed to just playing natural basketball. We just had too many mistakes," Ham said. "It sucks we didn't get the win on a night like this. There's a lot of things to pull from it, a lot of things to take away. I'm happy LeBron was able to accomplish what he accomplished."

career rebounds and 91st in career blocks. He has averaged 27.2 points per game in his 20 seasons in the NBA and is averaging 30.0 points per game this season, becoming the oldest player to average 30 points per game. He has 38,390 points in his career. He said he didn't want to wait another game to break the record.

"Tomorrow's not promised. I had an opportunity to do it tonight and I was going to try and make it happen," James said. "I was superefficient and I was able to get it done."

Mayor Karen Bass ordered Los Angeles City Hall to be lit in the Lakers' colors of purple and gold Wednesday after James set the record.

Gustavo Dudamel, the music and artistic director for the Los Angeles Philharmonic since 2009, will leave the organization in 2026 to assume the same position with the New York Philharmonic, it was announced Tuesday.

"Today, above all, I am grateful," Dudamel, 42, said in a statement released by the New York Philharmonic. "I am grateful to the musicians and leadership of the New York Philharmonic as we embark upon this new and beautiful journey together. As the great poet Federico García Lorca said: `Every step we take on earth brings us to a new world.'

"I gaze with joy and excitement at the world that lies before me in New York City," he said.

Dudamel has previously conducted 26 concerts with the New York Philharmonic, dating back to 2007. He will conduct three performances in New York May 19-21 of Mahler's Symphony No. 9, according to the NY Phil.

"This is a dream come true for our musicians, our audience, and certainly for me," NY Phil President/ CEO Deborah Borda said in a statement. "The coming together of a great orchestra, a visionary music and artistic director, and our transformed hall promises the richest of futures."

Dudamel, a Venezuela native, also currently serves as the music director of the Opéra National de Paris and

His flamboyant style as a conductor and passion for music is credited with leading a resurgence of the LA Phil and enhancing access to music for youth and underserved communities.

"Since he first took the stage at the Hollywood Bowl as the music and artistic director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 2009, Gustavo's passion and musicianship have thrilled millions of people around the world," LA Phil CEO Chad Smith said in a statement.

"From programming some of the most ambitious works ever staged, inspiring the orchestra to reach new levels of artistry, expanding the limits of Walt Disney Concert Hall, and demonstrating the power of music to change people's lives through YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles), Gustavo has left indelible marks on classical music, the LA Phil and Los Angeles. We are deeply proud of what we have achieved, and will continue to, under his guidance.

"From our earliest days, the LA Phil has been a trailblazer, boldly embracing the new, welcoming the world's greatest artists to our stages and redefining the role of an orchestra in our community. The search for our next music director will be conducted with this same spirit as we define the future of our organization," Smith said.

to him transcending the world of classical music, crossing into the world of Hollywood with voice roles in the film "Trolls World Tour" and "The Simpsons," and appearances in the series "Mozart in the Jungle" and "Sesame Street."

He conducted the score for Steven Spielberg's adaptation of "West Side Story," and also conducted the opening and closing credit scores for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." He also led the LA Phil in a 2019 performance at the Academy Awards. In addition, Dudamel conducted the LA Phil in performances with Christina Aguilera and Billie Eilish and Finneas.

Born Jan. 26, 1981, in Barquisimeto, Venezuela, the son of a trombonist and a singing teacher, Dudamel began reading scores by the time he was 10 years old.

He is a product of "El Sistema," Venezuela's acclaimed youth program of immersive musical training. When he was 12, he was hired as an assistant conductor with the Amadeus Chamber Orchestra in Barquisimeto.

Dudamel won a Grammy in 2012 for best orchestral performance for conducting "Brahms: Symphony No. 4." In 2016, Dudamel became the first classical musician to participate in the Super Bowl halftime show, conducting members of Youth Orchestra Los Angeles.

He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2019.

James has won four NBA championships, including one with the Lakers in 2020 during the pandemic. He was asked after the game how his record- breaking game ranks against other games in his career.

"Championships will always sit at the top for me because that's just where I come from," James said. "I don't know where it sits. I've done some incredible things in this league and I hope I can do some more incredible things before I'm done."

James, a four-time NBA MVP, is fourth in career assists, ninth in career steals, 32nd in

"What you've done -- the breaking of one of the most monumental records in sports -- will be heard throughout our city and around the world," Bass said in a video. "I'd be remiss if I didn't also acknowledge an LA Legend — Kareem Abdul-Jabbar — who held this record for decades. I am so glad to see that though the record holder is changing hands, it remains in our city of champions.

"So LeBron, on behalf of the people of Los Angeles, I want to congratulate you. We are so proud of your journey thus far, and all that you will continue to do in pursuit of greatness — both on and off the court."

Arcadia council approves inflatable play area at Santa Anita Mall

Biden, in State of Union, lauds hero who disarmed Monterey Park shooter

By City News Service

The Arcadia City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved a temporary operating permit for a FunBox inflatable play area in the parking lot of The Shops at Santa Anita Mall.

The play area is designed for children under 12, but there are no age restrictions, city staff members reported. The FunBox will run from March 1 through May 23 and operate from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

FunBox is administered by Hallier Investments, according to the city staff report. This temporary outdoor facility will be larger than the play area located inside the mall near the food court. The facility can accommodate up to 400 people, but FunBox representatives expect a maximum of 330 people to attend per allotted time slot, city staff reported.

FunBox patrons purchase time-slot tickets online or at the site for 1.5-hour designations.

In response to a question from Councilwoman Sharon Kwan who asked if the other FunBox locations in Woodland Hills and

Torrance have had any incidents involving vehicles colliding with the play area, a FunBox representative said no crashes have occurred to date.

"In the past we haven't had any accidents," Josué Lovos told the council. "We have an eight-foot perimeter fence around, we also block off some of the parking lanes so we won't have any traffic close to our site."

The play area's electrical generator "shall be enclosed and protected from public access," and "all electrical cords shall be free from defects and be appropriately protected," according to the staff report.

Several city agencies including the fire and police departments, Engineering Services Department, Planning and Building Services and the Public Works Services Department reviewed the FunBox application, according to the staff report. "No concerns were raised by any of the departments for the requested permit."

Arcadia's agreement with FunBox also provides city entities with legal indemnification.

Gun laws

of 11 people in a shooting at a Monterey Park dance studio, the deadliest mass shooting in county history.

"I intend to do whatever is possible to protect Los Angeles County residents, particularly following the tragedy in the First District community of Monterey Park," Solis said. "Gun-related violence will continue to cause mass damage, trauma, and harm if we do not take the necessary steps at all levels of government. This includes supporting key gun safety legislation like Senator Feinstein's recent action to reinstate the assault weapons and high capacity magazine ban. Today, living in the United States of America means being at risk of becoming a victim of a mass shooting. To that end, time is of the essence."

President Joe Biden took time during his State of the Union address Tuesday evening to salute Brandon Tsay, the hero who wrestled a gun away from the Monterey Park mass shooter and likely prevented a second tragedy from occurring in nearby Alhambra.

Biden also used the moment to call for increased gun control.

“Two weeks ago, during Lunar New Year celebrations, he heard the (Lai Lai Ballroom) studio’s front door close and saw a man pointing a gun at him,” Biden said of Tsay, who was among the guests in first lady Jill Biden’s viewing box Tuesday night in the U.S. Capitol’s House chamber.

“He thought he was going to die, but then he thought about the people inside. In that instant, he found the courage to act and wrestled the semi- automatic pistol away from a gunman who had already killed 11 people at another dance studio. He saved lives.

“It’s time we do the same as well,” the president added. “Ban assault weapons once and for all.”

It marked the second time since the Jan. 21 Monterey Park tragedy that Biden lauded the 26-yearold Tsay. In a phone call two weeks ago, Biden thanked Tsay for “taking such incredible action.”

“I wanted to call to see how you’re doing and thank you for taking such incredible action in the face of danger,” Biden told Tsay at the time. “I don’t think you understand just how much you’ve done for so many people who are never even going to know you. 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 to comforting to me.”

Biden also told Tsay, “You have my respect” and

“You are America, pal. You are who we are. America’s never backed down. We’ve always stepped up, because of people like you.”

On the night of Jan. 21, Tsay confronted and disarmed gunman Huu Can Tran at the Lai Lai Ballroom and Studio in Alhambra, shortly after Tran shot 20 people — 11 fatally — at another dance studio in Monterey Park. Tsay’s family runs the Lai Lai studio.

Monterey Park City Councilman Henry Lo, who was mayor when the shooting occurred, also attended the speech, as a guest of Sen. Alex Padilla, while Juily Phun, a niece of one of the fatally wounded Monterey Park victims, attended as a guest of Rep. Judy Chu.

Tsay, Lo and Phun — the niece of 67-year-old shooting victim Muoi Dai Ung — were also special guests Tuesday morning at a State of the Union reception in Washington honoring Monterey Park, hosted by the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus.

Chu, a former Monterey Park City Councilwoman and three-time mayor before she was elected to Congress, is chair of the caucus.

Tsay was originally invited to the State of the Union by Chu last month, but shortly thereafter reportedly was asked by the president himself to be his guest — prompting Chu to

joke to Tsay during a “medal of courage” ceremony in Alhambra, “I can’t believe you turned me down for the president.”

Lo, the former Monterey Park mayor and now a District 4 councilman, led the city in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, saying at one point, “Our priority is to make sure that those victims, their family members are given the resources they need to heal. … Together, we can overcome this tragedy.”

Said Padilla, “It’s an honor to be joined by Councilman Henry Lo at this year’s State of the Union address. Henry’s leadership has been instrumental in honoring the lives of those we lost in Monterey Park and helping the community heal after such a devastating loss.”

Padilla, D-California, also called for Congress to pass “sensible, nationwide gun safety laws” — a call that was echoed by Lo in a statement released by Padilla’s office.

“It is urgent that we take federal action to ensure that no other community in America has to mourn lives lost to senseless gun violence,” Lo said.

“The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act was an important step to protecting our communities, and I thank Senator Padilla for his continued advocacy at the federal level for commonsense gun safety reforms that will keep our communities safe.”
