Authorities arrest alleged killer of sheriff's deputy in Palmdale

After an hours-long standoff, a 29-yearold man was arrested Monday for allegedly killing a third-generation sheriff's deputy who was gunned down near the department's Palmdale station over the weekend.

Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer, 30, was shot around 6 p.m Saturday while sitting in his patrol car near the station at Sierra Highway and East Avenue Q. Sheriff's officials said a good Samaritan stopped to render aid after the shooting and the wounded deputy was taken to Antelope Valley Medical Center in grave condition. He was pronounced dead that night.

Early Monday morning, sheriff's deputies arrested 29-year-old Kevin Cataneo Salazar at his family's home following a lengthy standoff. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said Special Enforcement Bureau deputies took him into custody following a barricade that ended after the SEB personnel used "chemical agents" at the scene. Luna said "numerous firearms" were recovered following the arrest, and deputies seized a darkcolored Toyota Camry that was believed to be linked to the killing.

"Thirty-six hours after the murder of our deputy, the men and women of our department arrested him early this morning," Luna said during a news conference late Monday morning.

Luna said tips from the public led investigators to

the suspect, and he hailed the professionalism shown by deputies involved in the barricade situation and arrest of a person despite knowing the many may have killed one of their own.

"Those special enforcement deputies took the time to try to deescalate this and take this individual peacefully into custody, when they knew our deputy was not afforded the same opportunity," Luna said.

"He never gave our deputy a chance, but yet our men and women gave this individual a chance to take him into custody peacefully. That's the difference between professionals and individuals out there who are targeting not only community members but more importantly law enforcement out on the street."

Luna said a motive for the killing remains a mystery.

"We don't know yet, but we intend to find out," Luna said, adding that Clinkunbroomer was "murdered, ambushed by a coward."

Luna read a statement from Clinkunbroomer's family.

"Our son Ryan was a dedicated hard-working deputy sheriff who enjoyed working here at the Palmdale station," according to the family. "He was proud to work along the side of his partners that he considered brothers and sisters as he sacrificed daily to better the community that he served. Ryan made the ultimate sacrifice in doing so. Ryan was recently engaged to

the love of his life. As our first-born son, Ryan will be greatly missed by his family, friends and the sheriff's department as a whole. Please keep Ryan's family, friends and colleagues in your prayers and respect everyone's privacy during our time of mourning."

Luna again urged residents who may have information related to the shooting to come forward.

"I want to stress that our investigators are still actively working this case," he said. "There's more information that we probably don't know at this time. Every piece of evidence, everything we have, will be analyzed and I do want to stress to our community that although we are extremely confident that we have the right (person) in custody, I am still asking people to come forward and

give us any piece of information that they believe that they have. Why? Because the arrest is only one part of this. We have to get this individual prosecuted now to the full extent of the law, and we need the public's continued help and support in doing that."

County Supervisor Kathryn Barger said she "will not rest" until the deputy's killer is fully prosecuted.

"We need to send a clear message that this type of cowardly attack is not going to be tolerated, not here in the Antelope Valley, nowhere in LA County, quite frankly, nowhere in California, it shouldn't be anywhere in this nation.

"This was an attack on the law enforcement community. An attack on public safety. An attack on

AformerCompton city councilman was arrested Monday on federal charges alleging he and a business associate paid $70,000 in bribes to a member of the Baldwin Park City Council in exchange for that official's votes and support for commercial marijuana permits.

Isaac Jacob Galvan, 36, of Compton, who served on the Compton City Council from 2013 until May 2022, was arrested at his home on a 10-count indictment unsealed Monday, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Special agents with the FBI and IRS Criminal Investigation on Monday also arrested Yichang Bai, 50, of Arcadia, the owner and operator of W&F International Corp., a Diamond Bar-based import-export business and a consulting client of Galvan's who allegedly helped orchestrate the scheme.

The criminal indictment charges Galvan and Bai with one count of conspiracy, one count of bribery and eight counts of honest services wire fraud. The defendants are expected to be arraigned Monday afternoon in Los Angeles federal court.

Both defendants entered not guilty pleas during arraignment hearings in Los Angeles federal court and were granted release on unsecured bonds. A tentative trial date of Nov. 14 was set.

Donald Always, assistant director in charge of

the FBI's Los Angeles Field Office, said the FBI arrested Galvan "for allegedly using his position of power to bribe an elected city official in order to enrich himself and a client."

"As these actions erode the public's trust and harm the communities these officials were elected to serve, FBI Los Angeles will continue to investigate them and those individuals who enable their corrupt schemes," Always said in a statement.

In June 2017, Baldwin Park began permitting the cultivation, manufacture, and distribution of marijuana within its city limits. Soon afterward, then-Baldwin Park City Councilman Ricardo Pacheco, 60, of Baldwin Park, began soliciting bribes from businesses seeking marijuana development agreements and related permits in the city, according to court documents.

In exchange for the illicit payments, Pacheco agreed to use his position in city government to assist the companies with obtaining marijuana permits, including voting in their favor, federal prosecutors said.

According to the indictment, Galvan first paid Pacheco a $10,000 bribe in August 2017 to secure Pacheco's support for a future consulting client's marijuana permit.

Then, after securing Bai's company W&F as a client, Galvan facilitated $70,000 in

Thetwo-and-a-halfyear real estate rollercoaster has calmed in 2023, at least somewhat, as more Americans decide to stay put.

"The big story for the last couple of months has been lack of inventory due to mortgage rate lock-ins," Redfin chief economist Daryl Fairweather said. "Now that rates are above 7%, it doesn't make sense for a lot of people to sell."

Lack of inventory is the main culprit behind the affordable housing crisis. The reasons behind this are complex, including a construction worker shortage. But another factor is at play: Older Americans are staying in their homes longer and buying more homes than ever. Essentially, they're hoarding the few homes that might otherwise be available and driving up prices on the ones that are.

Stacker analyzed data from the Federal Reserve, the National Association of Realtors, and other sources to show how the baby boomer generation affects housing affordability in the U.S.

This past spring, the number of homes changing hands dropped to the lowest levels since the start of the pandemic and has barely budged. Yet prices remain high, as the total number of homes for sale hit the lowest level on record in July, according to Redfin.

Prohibitive asking prices and record-high mortgage rates keep many potential buyers out of the market. But older Americans who have been in the real estate game longer have more equity and, therefore, more cash to spend.

In the first quarter of 2023, people born between 1946 and 1964 had $18 trillion in real estate assets, more than three times the value held by millennials, those born between 1981 and 1996, who held about $5 trillion worth, according to the Federal Reserve.

"If you're retired and you paid off your mortgage or close, it's easy for you to stay put, but it's also easy for you to cash in and have a different

lifestyle," Fairweather said. "The equity makes it so they have two really good options: They can stay and have low mortgage payments, but they also have this other great option where they can cash in their equity if they're able to move to somewhere more affordable or downsize."

Boomers hold the largest share of real estate wealth

Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, have controlled the lion's share of the real estate market for nearly a quarter of a century. This feat is impressive for a group that isn't even the largest generation by population.

In 2000, when boomers were between 36 and 54, they owned roughly the same amount of real estate as their parents' generation did at that time in their lives. Since then, boomers have held on to their real estate wealth as the Silent Generation divested or died. In part, that's because they were able to buy their first homes earlier, allowing more time to build that equity.

Close to a third of baby boomers owned their home when they were 25, compared to 27% of Gen Xers and 28% of millennials when they were that age, according to Census Bureau data analyzed by Redfin. Gen Z has it slightly better, with 30% of 25-yearolds owning their homes in 2022—though 40% of them got help from their parents, some of whom are boomers.

They own more homes than a decade ago

Americans—especially white, wealthy, and educated ones—are living longer. Today, boomers are between the ages of 59 and 77.

"Part of why people are staying in their houses longer is because they're healthy enough to do it," said Maureen Henry, deputy director of the International Longevity Center-USA at Columbia University.

The vast majority of older Americans prefer to remain in their homes for as long as possible. Nearly 90% of adults between the ages of 50 and 80 say it is important for them to age in place, according to

By Elena Cox, Stacker

a 2022 University of Michigan survey.

"Nobody wants to live in a nursing home," Henry said.

In 2011, when boomers were between the ages of 47 and 65, they owned about 2 in 5 homes, according to Census Bureau data. A decade later, not much has changed.

Nursing homes lose favor

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the potential dangers of institutional living. (As of Aug. 20, 167,922 nursing home residents have died from the virus, according to CDC data.) But even before then, the stigma was growing.

Besides that, long-term care is also expensive. The median cost of a semi-private room in a nursing home facility is about $95,000 per year, according to American Health Care Association and the National Center for Assisted Living. For comparison, assisted living communities typically cost around $54,000 per person annually.

Private insurance and Medicare cover a finite number of days in skilled nursing facilities, usually used after hospital stays. Only low-income people who

require high levels of care are eligible for Medicaid, which covers 60% of the current nursing home population.

Instead, aging adults are opting for independent living communities, which offer assisted living amenities but allow for autonomy and privacy.

Boomers go on buying spree

Not only are the boomers hanging on to what they have longer than in the past, but they're also buying more homes than other generations. Over time, the Silent Generation has declined as a share of overall buyers—as have Gen X, who are in their more stable, child-rearing years.

Bucking the trend, the share of boomer buyers spiked from 2022 to 2023.

While some are downsizing to more manageable homes, others are becoming snowbirds and owning separate homes for the summer and winter months. Still others are deciding to try their hands at real estate investing, scooping up homes to use as rentals. (But becoming an Airbnb host may not be the easy passive

income many had hoped.)

Cost is top of mind for buyers of all ages, and with a limited number of affordable homes available, they're all competing for the same places. The difference is boomers buying a condo in Tampa or a casita in Scottsdale can usually pay full price in cash, unlike firsttime buyers, who may have been saving up for a down payment for years and are limited by the size of their home loan.

"The root problem is lack of supply, specifically of starter homes. The 'missing middle' entry point into the market has gone away,"

Fairweather said, referring to homes larger than an apartment but smaller than a single-family home, such as duplexes or townhomes.

Those homes, traditionally built for first-time buyers, are also attractive to older adults living on a fixed income.

"Most people don't have enough in savings to support themselves for an indefinite number of years," Henry said. "[They] have to make decisions for risk."

Driver killed in head-on collision in Fullerton

A 28-year-old Fullerton man was fatally injured when the speeding Honda Civic he was driving swerved to avoid hitting another car and slammed head-on into a Nissan Pathfinder, police said Saturday. The accident took place at about 9 p.m. Friday near Richman Avenue and Orangethorpe Avenue, according to the Fullerton Police Department. Arriving officers found that a white 2006 Honda Civic and a grey 2016 Nissan Pathfinder had been involved in the collision, and both had significant front-end damage. Police said the initial investigation indicates that the Civic was traveling east on Orangethorpe approaching Richman "at a high rate of speed" when it served into oncoming traffic, apparently to avoid rear-ending another eastbound vehicle traveling in front of it at a slower speed.

Angels’ Shohei Ohtani to miss rest of regular season

Injured Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani will miss the rest of the season, the team announced Saturday, raising the distinct possibility that the unique two-way superstar has played his last game with the Angels. Ohtani, who will be a free agent after the season, injured his right oblique while taking batting practice at Angel Stadium on Sept. 4. He's missed the team's last 11 games, and his locker at the stadium was cleaned out after Friday's 11-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers. Ohtani, a home run-slugging outfielder who also pitches, tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow on Aug. 23 and is expected to undergo surgery for that injury. His future as a pitcher is somewhat in doubt given that he previously had arm surgery in 2018.

Twoheys to celebrate 80th anniversary as a family-owned local landmark

By Guest Contributor

Twohey’s Restaurant, a staple of the San Gabriel Valley dining scene, is proud to announce its 80th anniversary as a family-owned local landmark. Since its founding in 1943, Twoheys has proudly been serving the community with its signature dishes and fountain specialties, and creating memorable experiences for generations of customers.

To commemorate the milestone anniversary, Twoheys is hosting a series of special events in September. Throughout the whole month, specialty handcrafted cocktails were created to commemorate the last 80 years, including "The Nifty Fifty," "Rockin 80’s" and "The Celebration."

From Sept. 20-24, both adults and kids alike can enjoy a .80 cent mini sundae with the purchase of an entrée. To kick off the 5-day event, on Wednesday, Sept. 20 from 11 a.m. through 2 p.m., there will be live music by Woodie and the Longboards and a display of antique cars hosted by Trompers of Eagle Rock Car Club. On Sunday, Sept. 24, there will

be a Family Night from 5 to 7 p.m. with fun activities for the entire family.

These celebrations symbolize the restaurant's deep roots in the community, its commitment to continuing to serve, and connecting with its customers for generations to come.

"We're thrilled to be celebrating 80 years in business," said owner Tanya Christos. "It's truly an honor to be a part of this community. We wish to thank our loyal customers for making it possible for us to keep our doors open all these years."

The well-known eatery has added an updated twist on the American diner experience with alfresco dining, a Happy Hour menu, and a full bar with hand-crafted specialty cocktails. Classic American fare, from the original menu and current favorites, features soups/ salads, sandwiches/clubs/ melts, traditional specialties, classic burgers, onion rings, daily specials and a full breakfast menu served until 3 p.m. each day. Vegetarian and vegan selections are also available.

Twoheys expanded

Modeled after our beloved city historian and treasurer, Steve Baker, our new bear is perched at the northern tip of Old Town.

Mr. Monopoly Samson sits on the northeast corner of Myrtle and Foothill, grandly welcoming all who enter Old Town. Our city can dedicate a building to Steve, a bench, or a hundred other things, but this bear is just perfect: Dapper and distinguished and just so darn cute. Just like Steve.

If you didn’t know Steve, he was the most interesting man in Monrovia. He knew everything there was to know about Monrovia and the surrounding area. His walking tours of Old Town and Live Oak Cemetery were not only informative but funny and so much fun! As reported here

Monrovia Old Town report: Beary special tribute

By Shawn Spencer shawn@girlfridaysolutions.net

Since the 14th Amendment (Section 111) bars any person from holding federal or state office if they have engaged in insurrection or rebellion, isn’t it logical that even

previously, Steve Baker’s former home and neighboring property will soon be renovated into a lovely bed & breakfast.

Saxony Holdings purchased the properties from Susan Baker, Steve’s sister. Susan could have easily sold the properties for much more than they were purchased for, but Saxony’s promise to maintain the architectural integrity of the homes was much more important to her. Saxony Design Build will be overseeing the renovations, and I am completely confident that Steve will be thrilled with the results. This will be a wonderful addition to Monrovia. I’m just thrilled to see the properties under the loving care of Saxony. Steve Baker is utterly irreplaceable, but it brings me and many others great joy to see his legacy live on

in so many ways around Monrovia.

Not in Old Town, but still Monrovia, we have a new park coming soon. Local builder and developer, the Hale Corporation, generously donated an 8600-sf parcel of land to the city of Monrovia for the purpose of building a new park. Located on Huntington Drive, behind the new Chick-fil-A and Starbucks, this new park needs a name! The city of Monrovia has opened up nominations. If you have a great idea for a name that captures the heart of this park, then please visit the city’s website, fill out an application and submit it no later than 5 p.m., on Thursday, Sept. 28. The name should resonate with Monrovia and its community. Name ideas like Chickbucs, Starb-filA, Chickington Drive and

other over-used jabs need not apply.

Also, here’s a lastminute reminder to get your tickets to the 8th annual Monrovia Chamber Beer, Wine & Music Festival. The festival is from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. this Saturday, Sept. 23, at Library Park. Things you can expect from this event: great local beers, wines from around the world, live music, food trucks, wonderful restaurants within walking distance and a fun crowd. Tickets are $40 presale and $50 at the door. I pour at this event every year and let me tell you, it’s a lot of fun that you won’t want to miss out on! If the weather lands on the warmer side, please remember to bring a hat and to stay hydrated. Hydrated with water, not just beer and wine. Trust me on this.

a fresh graduate from law school could easily convince a jury that Trump is guilty of insurrection, and should be punished accordingly?

Why, I wonder, is it

taking so long and costing so much money to send that aspiring despot to prison — where he should have been sent long ago?

While enjoying a refreshing glass of iced tea – and maybe a sandwich – on the balcony of M.G. Rawls’s home, you may get a sighting of a black bear. Or maybe a mountain lion. A review of her security camera from the previous night’s outdoor activity might show nocturnal creatures having a free run of the creek that abuts her property.

They are the inspirations for the characters that inhabit “The Sorts of Pasadena Hollow,” a trilogy of young adult books created by Rawls in 2019 (Sorts are people who can transform into animals). Her first book, “Hannah’s Fires,” at 166 pages, follows a teenager’s story as she settles into her new home in Pasadena Hollow. The second installment, “Tony’s Tales,” is 224 pages and focuses on Hannah’s first friend there. The last in the series is “Henry’s Hopes,” which is 332 pages long and has just been released on Amazon as an ebook. It chronicles the life of an elderly Tongva shaman, one of the earliest residents in the area, who also serves as a mentor for the young Sorts.

Rawls graciously invited me for lunch followed by a short interview for a second article about her books. I mention that each of the three books became increasingly longer, and ask if she planned it that way or if more ideas just came to her as she

M.G. Rawls

trilogy with ‘The Sorts of Pasadena Hollow: Henry’s Hopes’

May S. Ruiz MayChu@att.net

wrote.

“My initial thought was always to have three books but the audience would start at 5th grade and they would mature as I went along,” Rawls replies. “At the same time, it would help me, since I was a new writer, to be able to write in a way that I was comfortable with with each book. So you can see my progression through my work – it starts out simpler, then gets more complicated. I was always hoping that the reader who liked the book in 5th grade would like the next in 6th, and so on, as they were reading. I was writing it for middle schoolers and older.”

“With the exception of a few supporting characters, the main people in ‘Henry’s Hopes’ were already part of the first,” Rawls adds. “One of the comments I received from readers is that there are so many to keep track of, so I included a list and description of characters at the beginning of each book.”

“Did the idea to write a book set in your neck of the woods happen organically or was there a particular moment or instance when it occurred?” I query. Rawls replies, “The inspiration for this series came from an article in the L.A. Times –which I included in ‘Hannah’s Fires’ – about an engineer who was convinced there were half-lizards living deep under the ground with a cache of gold and arranged to

dig for it. I was so intrigued by that article and it motivated me to create these characters.

“Besides that, most (not all) of the animal events in my books have their genesis in reality. In the first book, for example, there’s a raven who tries to steal Hannah’s bracelet and pretends he hurt his wing to try to get sympathy from her because he likes her. About 10 or 15 years ago, my husband found what he thought was an injured juvenile raven. We took it in for the night and the next morning there was such a squawking outside, it woke us up. Dozens of ravens were on our fence and across the street staring at us – it was clear what they wanted. We brought out the juvenile and he flew off unhurt.

“I had been nurturing this story in my mind since we moved here in 1988. When the idea to write these books happened, all the stories that have accumulated over the years living here started coming back to me,” she continues. “In 2019, I began writing them as notes on my iPhone in the early morning and they got longer and longer. Finally, I started pruning it out and thought ‘This is interesting.’ It gave me comfort – it was a world I could escape into.”

Unlike some popular fantasy young adult books set in dystopian worlds, the Sorts live in a utopian society. Rawls intentionally

created an inclusive world where everyone is accepted. Without calling attention to it, she ensured there was representation for people of diverse races, ages, and sexual orientations.

At the end of “Henry’s Hopes,” we find Lydia as the voice for the characters and the narrator of events we’ve been following. It comes as a surprise. And yet it’s because she isn’t a Sort – not in spite of it – that makes her the logical storyteller. As Rawls says, “The events that happen are everyday occurrences for the Sorts so they don’t find

them interesting. But they’re not normal activities for Lydia so she’s fascinated by them. Being an investigative reporter, she thinks of them as a mystery to be unraveled.”

Rawls’s characters grow with her as she matures in her writing. While she starts out tentative in “Hannah’s Fires,” she gets more confident in “Tony’s Tales,” and reaches her stride in “Henry’s Hopes.” In the same vein, a reader slowly gains insight into them and inevitably becomes invested in Hannah, Tony, Henry, and all the Sorts in Pasadena Hollow… and

feels sad that there won’t be another book to look forward to. But Rawls also leaves a huge gap where a reader can infer that events will have transpired, leaving the possibility open for her to pick up where she left off.

As with painters and other artists, authors cede control of their work once it’s out there for the public to make of it what they will. So we can imagine for ourselves milestones happening during that gap – or how their journey continues – if Rawls decides that the Sorts’ story ends where it does in her book.

ORDINANCE NO. 1019

A SUMMARY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 1.12.010, CHANGING THE DATE OF THE CITY’S GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION FROM THE STATEWIDE PRIMARY ELECTION OF EACH EVEN-NUMBERED YEARS TO THE DATE OF THE STATEWIDE GENERAL ELECTION IN EVEN-NUMBERED YEARS AND ADJUSTING THE TERMS OF OFFICE ACCORDINGLY

On September 9, 2023, the City Council of the City of Rosemead introduced for first reading, by titles only, Ordinance No. 1019, amending municipal code section 1.12.010, changing the date of the city’s general municipal election from the statewide primary election of each even-numbered years to the date of the statewide general election in even-numbered years and adjusting the terms of office accordingly.

In order to remain in compliance with Senate Bill 415 by changing the date of the General Municipal Election to the date of the statewide general election of each even-numbered years; it is necessary to extend the terms of two Council Members by eight months from March to November, to align with a Statewide General Election cycle, and extend the terms of three Council Members by five months from June to November, to align with a Statewide General Election cycle on November 3, 2026.

Code Amendment - Section 1.12.010 of the Rosemead Municipal Code is hereby amended to read:

“1.12.010 - General Election

Pursuant to Section 1301 and 10403.5 of the California Elections Code and as authorized thereby, the City’s general elections shall, commencing on the next statewide general election of November 3, 2026 and henceforth, be held on statewide general election date in even-numbered years.”

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD ON OCTOBER 2, 2023

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Rosemead Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing on Monday, October 2, 2023, at 7:00 PM, at Rosemead City Hall, located at 8838 East Valley Boulevard, Rosemead. Remote public comments will be received by calling (626) 569-2100 or via email at publiccomment@cityofrosemead. org by 5:00 p.m. on October 2, 2023. A live phone call option may also be requested by calling the number provided above. All comments are public record and will be recorded in the official record of the City. If you have a request for an accommodation under the ADA, please contact Ericka Hernandez, City Clerk, at (626) 5692100. CASE

ter 17.40 (Cannabis Facilities, Cultivation, and Deliveries) of the Rosemead Municipal Code (RMC) up to compliance with Senate Bill 1186 (Medicinal Cannabis Patients’ Right of Access Act), which will become effective January 1, 2024. To be in accordance with State law, MCA 23-02 will update the City’s existing regulations for deliveries of medicinal cannabis and permit a non-storefront, delivery-only medical cannabis retail use in the M-1 zone with a Conditional Use Permit.

The public hearing for MCA 23-02 was originally scheduled for the regular Planning Commission Meeting on September 18, 2023. However, the meeting was cancelled.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: MCA 23-02 is not a project pursuant to Section 15378 of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, because the activity undertaken involves general text amendments that would not cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and does not meet the definition of a “Project” under CEQA. The proposed Code Amendment is also exempt from CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the text amendments will have a significant effect on the environment.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 65009(b), if this matter is subsequently challenged in court, the challenge may be limited to only those issues raised at the public hearing described in this notice or in written correspondence delivered to the City of Rosemead at, or prior to, the public hearing.

For further details on this proposal, please contact Annie Lao, Associate Planner, at (626) 569-2144 or alao@cityofrosemead.org. In addition, the Planning Commission Agenda and Staff Report will be available on the City’s website under “City Calendar” (www.cityofrosemead.org) at least 72 hours in advance of the public hearing. Any person interested in the above proceedings may appear at the time and place indicated above to testify in support of, or in opposition to, the item(s) indicated in this notice.

Police investigate man's death at Long Beach elementary school

By City News Service

An investigation was continuing Wednesday into the death of a man who was carrying a sledgehammer as he climbed over a fence at a Long Beach elementary school, where he was quickly confronted and detained by a group of bystanders.

Long Beach police said officers initially responded around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday to the 6700 block of Orizaba Avenue, between Paramount Boulevard and Obispo Avenue, near the Artesia (91) Freeway, on a report of a home invasion, but they were quickly redirected to McKinley Elementary School near Paramount Boulevard and 68th Street.

Police said a man a sledgehammer had climbed a fence and entered the school's parking lot. As the suspect attempted to enter the campus, he was pulled down and detained by

a group of men, police said. Arriving officers found the suspect still being detained by one of the men, and placed the suspect in handcuffs.

According to police, the suspect became unresponsive moments after the arrest and officers began administering life-saving measures until the arrival of Long Beach Fire Department paramedics, who pronounced the suspect dead at the scene.

LAPD officers expand lawsuit allegations over photo releases

By City News Service

One of the large groups of LAPD officers with sensitive assignments who have sued the city, alleging their safety was affected by the release of department photographs earlier this year through the California Public Records Act, is now making additional allegations, including malpractice by the City Attorney's Office.

The cause of death will be determined by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner, police said.

Police said because the suspect died while handcuffed, the situation is being investigated as an in-custody death by homicide detectives.

But police insisted there was no use of force during the arrest. It was unclear if he may have been injured prior to officers' arrival.

Prior to the department making the photos available, the officers went to great lengths to keep their identities concealed, according to the amended Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit filed Monday on behalf of about 143 current or retired plaintiffs identified only as Jane and John Does.

The officers serve in or were previously assigned to such units as the Major Crimes Division, the ATF Gun Violence Reduction Task Force, the Gangs and Narcotics Division and human trafficking, the updated suit states.

"Due to the photo release, plaintiffs now reasonably fear retribution from ... extremely dangerous criminals, which may involve harassment, intimidation, injury and death to themselves and their families," the revised suit states.

The initial complaint filed Sept. 5 alleged negligence and failure to perform a mandatory duty. The revised complaint adds causes of action for legal

malpractice by the City Attorney's Office, invasion of privacy, public disclosure of private facts, negligent infliction of emotional distress and breach of contract.

Mayor Karen Bass has called the photo release an "egregious mistake," and LAPD Chief Michel Moore "has made several public statements regarding this reckless breach," according to the updated suit.

LAPD officers with concealed identities had a reasonable expectation of privacy, according to the amended suit, which additionally states that the impacted officers are in a state of constant stress which they did not have

prior to the photo release.

The plaintiffs have all performed undercover operations and/or plain clothes surveillance, according to the amended suit, which seeks economic and emotional distress damages, plus attorneys' fees and costs.

Last week, a separate group of more than nearly 700 officers filed a similar lawsuit against the city.

The LAPD released the officers' images through the CPRA after a request by a Knock LA journalist. The Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, an activist group, then put the photos and other information of about 9,000 officers into a publicly accessible database in March.

UCLA Library receives $4.2M political cartoon collection

By City News Service

Aworld-class collection of political cartoons andcaricatures created between 1690 and 2022 has been donated to the UCLA Library by Michael and Susan Kahn, it was announced Tuesday.

The Michael and Susan Kahn Political Cartoon Collection encompasses more than one million political cartoons and caricatures, from 11,000 drawings, prints, ephemera, bound and unbound periodicals, books and research, in 30 languages and from 59 countries. The collection is valued at $4.2 million.

Numerous top political cartoon artists are represented. Among them is Rollin Kirby, who received

a 1929 Pulitzer Prize for an illustration satirizing New York's infamous Tammany Hall political machine, the original of which is in the collection.

"As a form of political discourse, cartoons not only convey an extraordinary amount of information, but they can also cause historical events,"

Michael Kahn said in a statement. "My hope for the collection is that it will benefit generations of scholars and researchers across disciplines as well as members of the general public."

Kahn, who earned his bachelor's degree in political science from UCLA in 1970, co-authored the

book "Puck: What Fools these Mortals Be," which was published in 2014.

The couple also gave $370,000 to the library to organize, describe and comprehensively catalog the collection, and is donating an additional $250,000 to establish a 10-year interdisciplinary education initiative for the study of graphic arts as political speech, bringing the total value of their gift to nearly $5 million. The gift to fund the initiative was made in honor of Ginny Steel, the Norman and Armena Powell University Librarian, who is retiring in December.

"The Kahns' foresight to fund an education initiative to activate the gift of

their extraordinary collection of political cartoons is truly remarkable, and I am deeply touched that they chose to honor my work with this gift," Steel said in a statement. "At a time when political misinformation in the form of memes is proliferating online, this collection will help students develop critical thinking skills, and information and media literacy."

As the subject matter for academic courses, cartoons can challenge students to decode complex meanings at the intersection of visual and verbal languages, officials said. The materials invite scholars to draw insights from multiple academic disciplines, includ-

ing political science, history, art history, communications and information studies.

"Cartoons provide access for students to the attitudes of reading publics in times past, offering nuanced

expressions of ideology and sentiment in hybrids of image and text," Christopher Gilman, the library's digital curriculum program coordinator, said in a statement.

Black Lives Matter calls for removal of LAPD Chief Moore

By City News Service

TheLosAngeles chapter of Black Lives

Matter and relatives

of people killed by the Los Angeles Police Department called for the removal of Police Chief Michel Moore Tuesday, for what they termed his lack of leadership and failure to serve the city's Black community.

"We are here because our community continues to be abused," Pastor Stephen "Cue" Jn-Marie of The Row Church said during a news conference outside LAPD headquarters downtown, on the day of the city's Police Commission meeting. "We have family, after family, after family — we've been coming to this commission since 2015, and some of us even before that."

Melina Abdullah, co-founder of BLM, said in a blunt message: "We're here today to call on Michel Moore's removal." She said added that the LAPD does everything from "stealing debit cards to stealing lives."

Neither Moore, the LAPD nor Mayor Karen Bass' office immediately responded to a

request for comment.

The Board of Directors of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, the union that represents LAPD detectives and officers, called BLM-LA's action as "yet another half-backed stunt disguised as a serious solution."

"With all the published financial and nepotism accusations swirling around the BLM leadership, we suggest they get their own house in order and focus on actually accomplishing something, anything, that will make L.A. safer," the LAPPL said in a statement.

Abdullah said that so far this year, the LAPD has shot 27 people and at least 17 have died, though Moore gave slightly different numbers at the commission meeting.

Moore did not respond to the protesters' call for his firing at the meeting, but he did update the commission on police shooting numbers.

"Year to date, we've now had 25 officer-involved shootings. The number last year was 27," he said. "Our

fatal officer-involved shootings are at 13 this year. Last year, that number was 13 as well. And our four-year average is just over nine."

Abdullah mentioned that the sister of James Mincey, who died at the hands of the LAPD in 1982, was standing among them.

"We're here today because the stolen lives have to stop. The killing of Black people and killing of Angelenos at the hands of police has to stop," Abdullah said.

Abdullah said Moore is "causing a great pain and harm" to the city. She noted that BLM-LA tried multiple times to remove Moore when Eric Garcetti was mayor, and tried asking Bass to let Moore's term expire.

"We're now saying we can't let another day go by, another life be stolen, without rising up as a city and saying Moore must go. No more Moore," Abdullah said.

Bianca Brown — the younger sister of Jessica Brown, a 35-year-old woman shot and killed by

an LAPD officer after she allegedly assaulted people with a metal pipe in Tarzana — spoke during the news conference, which was her first time publicly speaking about her sister's death.

Neighbors reportedly said they had several troubling encounters with Jessica Brown, and they believe it stemmed from mental health issues.

Brown said her sister was like a mother to her and did everything she could to take care of her. She struggled to speak and stopped as she could not hold back her tears.

Paula Minor, a member of BLM-LA, emphasized that most shootings by police involve people who are experiencing a mental health crisis. She also said the LAPD has a de-escalation policy but officers do not always follow the policy, and cited poor management.

"No CEO of a corporation of that size that has many examples of mismanagement or examples of irresponsibility would be

allowed to remain in that position," Minor said. "We disagree with the amount of money the LAPD has, but if they have that, it needs to be managed correctly, efficiently, according to the procedures and to reduce the number of killings to get to the root of corruption."

Minor also referenced the ongoing federal investigation of the Mission Hills

LAPD Gang Unit as another alleged example of Moore's failed leadership.

After the news conference, a small number of BLM-LA members joined the 9:30 a.m. Police Commission meeting to urge the commission to oust Moore. Abdullah said they would begin obtaining signatures for a petition to remove Moore.

Council confirms Pasadena transportation chief as new GM for LADOT

By City News Service

The Los Angeles City Council Tuesday confirmed Pasadena Transportation Director Laura Rubio-Cornejo as the new general manager of the LA Department of Transportation.

Without discussion, the council voted 12-0 to appoint Rubio-Cornejo, who was nominated by Mayor Karen Bass on Aug. 29. Council members Heather Hutt, Curren Price and Katy Yaroslavsky were absent during the vote.

"I look forward to working with General Manager Rubio-Cornejo to continue to improve our transportation system here in Los Angeles while working to prepare our city for major upcoming events that will draw visitors from around the world," Bass said in a statement after the council vote. "She will be a champion for critical safety improvements and will help the department focus on real solutions for historically disadvantaged neighborhoods while delivering a high-level of customer service Angelenos."

In response to her appointment, Rubio-Cornejo

said she was honored and ready to work in "close collaboration with the community to deliver transportation services to Angelenos."

Rubio-Cornejo will be taking over the position from Connie Llanos, who served as interim general manager of DOT the past 14 months. Rubio-Cornejo is set to begin on Sept. 25.

Bass said Llanos has provided "steady and thorough leadership for this department," adding, "Her service to the people of this city has bettered Los Angeles for millions of Angelenos every day."

The first Latina to serve in the role, Llanos made equity and inclusion top priorities by advancing active and public transportation projects, helping to improve streets after and creating the department's first joint English and Spanish glossary of transportation terms for Angelenos, according to the mayor's office.

The council's fivemember Transportation Committee convened earlier Tuesday morning in a special meeting to consider RubioCornejo's appointment.

The committee voted 4-0 in support of Rubio-Cornejo's appointment, and held a lengthy discussion about how she plans to lead the department. Yaroslavsky, who sits on the committee, was absent during the vote.

"I ended up in transportation because I had a real interest in improving communities and working in disadvantaged communities, particularly communities of color," Rubio-Cornejo told the committee.

Hutt, who chairs the committee, asked RubioCornejo how she felt about the idea of "scaling up" because she is coming from Pasadena, a smaller city compared to LA.

Rubio-Cornejo said she was responsible for overseeing the planning and environmental clearance of rail corridor projects throughout LA County when she worked for Metro. She said she learned to understand each community and work closely with local elected officials and community-based organizations to bring forward projects.

"My role is really to set that vision, provide the guidelines

and support to allow my staff to carry out their work," she said. "My role is to be there to help them achieve that work, whether it's removing obstacles, making them aware of certain challenges they might not be privy to, but also to provide them the support and resources they need."

Councilwoman Traci Park mentioned how DOT has a significant number of vacancies, particularly among traffic-enforcement officers.

"On the Westside, we see the consequences of that every day, especially in our parking challenged neighborhoods," Park said, who represents the 11th District.

Rubio-Cornejo said addressing vacancies starts with understanding the obstacles to filling those positions. As general manager, she added, she would be responsible for meeting the transportation needs of the community while being responsive to the direction of the mayor and council.

"But it's also to make sure that employees and staff have the resources and that they feel valued and feel protected," Rubio-Cornejo said.

Park asked for her

perspective on community engagement, as it relates to moving projects forward.

Community engagement is essential for "acceptance of a project," Rubio-Cornejo said.

She noted that having a community engagement program should be something every project has, even projects that have completed the planning process.

"We have to go back out and remind the community of the history of the project, why that project is needed and also what construction will look like because construc-

tion can be uncomfortable and inconvenient," RubioCornejo said.

Rubio-Cornejo emphasized a need to address safety for commuters and pedestrians, as well as transportation employees.

"Streets should be safe for an 8-year-old, it should be safe for an 80-year-old, and if I don't feel comfortable sending my children out, then how can I expect everyone else to do the same?" Rubio-Cornejo said. "My vision is about improving safety and access."

law abiding residents of Los Angeles County who believe in and support law and order."

There was no immediate word on where Salazar was being held, or on his bail.

The Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs announced Monday that those wishing to donate to assist the slain deputy's family can send funds to the website www.alads.org/ donate.

Clinkunbroomer was believed to have been stopped at a red light when he was shot.

On Sunday, Luna said a car that was seen pulling alongside Clinkunbroomer's patrol vehicle before speeding away in what he

called "widely circulated video" was being considered a "vehicle of interest." He described it as a 2006-12 dark gray Toyota Corolla.

A dark gray Corolla was seen Monday morning being removed from outside the suspect's home.

Luna noted Saturday night that the slain deputy's father and grandfather had also been deputies, and that Clinkunbroomer had gotten engaged just four days before his death.

"He didn't deserve this," Luna said "This is so unfair. We're hurting because we lost somebody. It hurts bad. It sucks, just to put it bluntly. Our hearts absolutely go out to his family."

Luna struggled to hold back his emotions while discussing what he described

as a targeted ambush killing.

"He was just driving down the street," Luna explained. "And for no apparent reason — and we're still looking into the specific reasons — somebody decided to shoot and murder him, I'm assuming at this point, because he was in uniform. That, to me, is sickening. That's not who this community is and that's why we stand up here collectively together really asking our community for your assistance as we move forward."

Anyone who witnessed anything related to the shooting, especially in the area of Sierra Highway at around 6 p.m. Saturday, was urged to call the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500, or Crime

Stoppers at 800-222-8477.

In response to the killing, multiple agencies announced on Sunday they were offering rewards for information leading to the killer. LA County and the city of Palmdale each offered $100,000, while ALADS put up another $50,000 in reward money.

Hundreds of people attended a vigil in memory of the fallen deputy Sunday night.

Luna said Clinkunbroomer was an eight-year veteran of the department and had been with the Palmdale station since July 2018. He served as a field training officer, which Luna said is a role reserved for only "the best of the best."

Last week, Clinkunbroomer's mother Kim Etzel

Clinkunbroomer posted several photos of her son and his fiancé on Instagram with the message: "We are so excited to add to our family. Congrats to our son Ryan and his fiancé Brittany."

During an overnight procession, law enforcement officers escorted Clinkunbroomer's body to the Los Angeles County coroner's office.

The last Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy shot and killed in the line of duty was Sgt. Steve Owen, 53, a 29-year department veteran who worked out of the Lancaster station and was shot while investigating a reported break-in on Oct. 5, 2016.

Deputy Alejandro Martinez died July 28, several months after he

was struck by a wrong-way vehicle while training with dozens of colleagues near the sheriff's STARS Explorer Academy law enforcement training center in Whittier in November 2022.

The driver, 22-year-old Nicholas Joseph Gutierrez of Diamond Bar, told reporters that he fell asleep at the wheel.

Deputy Steve Belanger died on Feb. 6, 2018, from a gunshot wound sustained on Dec. 10, 1994, when he was ambushed while conducting a traffic stop in the 18400 block of La Guardia Street in Rowland Heights. Doctors were unable to remove the bullet from Belanger's brain, and he remained under constant medical care and confined to a wheelchair until he died.

bribes from Bai to Pacheco. Pacheco served on Baldwin Park's city council from 1997 until his resignation in June 2020, and he was the city's mayor pro tempore in 2018.

Galvan allegedly paid the bribes in exchange for Pacheco's political support of and promise to deliver Baldwin Park's approval of marijuana permits for W&F. Pacheco then delivered, voting in favor of W&F's marijuana permit and later voting in favor of W&F's bid to relocate its operations.

Throughout the scheme, Galvan and Bai allegedly took steps to cover up their illegal payments to Pacheco by concealing Bai and W&F's connection to the payments for Pacheco. For example, Bai collected checks from third parties who owed him money and then — at Galvan's direction — gave Galvan the checks with blank payee lines. Galvan then gave the

Bribery scheme

checks to Pacheco, who then arranged for them to be cashed, either by him or third parties.

If convicted of all charges, Galvan and Bai would face up to five years in federal prison for the conspiracy count, up to 10 years for the bribery count and up to 20 years in prison for each honest services wire fraud count, prosecutors said.

Pacheco pleaded guilty in June 2020 to one count of bribery for accepting tens of thousands of dollars in bribes — including $20,000 in cash — from a Baldwin Park Police officer working at the FBI's direction, in exchange for the councilman's political support of the Baldwin Park Police Association's contract with the city. Pacheco's sentencing hearing is scheduled for June 17.

In November 2022, prosecutors secured a guilty plea to a bribery charge from Gabriel Chavez, 66, of Upland, a former San

Bernardino County planning commissioner who admitted to funneling bribes through his company to Pacheco in exchange for the politician's votes and influence over the city's cannabis permitting process. Chavez's sentencing hearing is scheduled for Dec. 11.

According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, both Chavez and Pacheco have signed plea agreements in which they have agreed to cooperate in the government's ongoing investigation.
