LA County FD ﬁnds Edison equipment caused Eaton Fire; loan program starts for survivors

caused the devastating Eaton Fire last year, according to a report Tuesday by the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

State and county ﬁre investigators aided by electrical and metallurgical experts investigated the deadly blaze over 18 months and concluded that the cause of the wildﬁre was electrical arcing events that occurred on an out-ofservice Southern California Edison power-line tower.

Investigators used methodology developed by the National Wildﬁre Coordinating Group and found that the Eaton Fire originated on a pile of uncleared dry brush below SCE transmission towers on the spur ridge above the Eaton Wash, according to the Fire Department.

California law requires SCE is to maintain and operate its electrical lines and equipment in a manner that would minimize the risk of catastrophic wildﬁre.

“I recognize that no report or investigation into the Eaton Fire can ease the deep pain and tragedy our residents have endured,” LA

County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said in a statement. “While the cause has been determined, our focus remains on assisting our residents to rebuild their homes and livelihoods, and ensuring lessons learned drive meaningful and impactful change in memory of the 19 lives lost.”

Fire ofﬁcials noted the Eaton Fire's ongoing impact "and the community's need for answers," in addition to afﬁrming a commitment "to transparency and fully support all independent investigations and after-

action reviews."

According to Cal Fire, the blaze caused 19 deaths and destroyed or damaged over 10,000 structures in Altadena, Pasadena, Sierra Madre and La Cañada Flintridge and the San Gabriel Mountains.

"Our hearts are with the Altadena community, and we continue to support them as they recover and rebuild through our Wildﬁre RecoveryCompensation Program," said SCE spokesman David Eisenhauer.

"We received the LA County Fire report and are reviewing it. We have taken our potential role in the start of this ﬁre seriously from the beginning," Eisenhauer said. As we’ve previously said, SCE believes that it is likely that its equipment was associated with the ignition of the Eaton Fire."

The Fire Department report and additional information is on the county's website.

Loan program aims to aid rebuilding

A local nonproﬁt organization and Los Angeles-based bank have launched the ﬁrst zero-interest disaster loan program to help Eaton Fire survivors return to Altadena.

The Gap Rebuild Program by the Altadena Land Initiatives Corp. fills funding gaps for fire-surviving homeowners with zero-interest construction financing from Cathay Bank. Program organizers said it simplifies construction by pairing homeowners with builders selected for their availability, experience, pricing, reputation and commitment to Altadena's recovery.

Lineage estimates 80% of rotting food removed after warehouse ﬁre

Roughly 80% percent of rotting food waste has been removed from the Lineage Logistics Inc. warehouse in Boyle Heights that was heavily damaged in a recent ﬁre, company representatives reported Monday.

Cleanup began July 7 following the June 17-24 ﬁre at the cold-storage facility at 1400 Los Palos St., and Lineage's goal of completing bulk food waste removal from the site is next week, a company statement said.

Work continues around the clock to speed up the cleanup in an attempt to reduce odors, protect public health and provide direct assistance to impacted residents, according to Lineage.

The fire is said to have started because of solar panel maintenance on the warehouse roof by contractor Altus Power Inc., but authorities have not officially determined a cause. The seven-day blaze sent thick smoke into the air and prompted officials to warn nearby residents to stay inside. The city, county and state issued local emergency declarations in the

subsequent days, and area residents have complained of noxious odors and other adverse effects from the ﬁre.

The LA County Department of Public Health investigated the warehouse on July 15 and identified violations that remained outstanding. Inspectors discovered an accumulation of decaying organic waste, wastewater and food residue in two different freezers, as well as live and dead flies in several areas of the facility. At least 20 fly larvae were on the exterior plastic sheeting along the northern perimeter wall, on the nearby sidewalk and on the street along Union Pacific Avenue.

The county has ordered Lineage to:

- Remove and properly dispose of all ﬁre-damaged food, putrescible waste, and other decomposing organic materials from the property in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations;

- Eliminate all actual and potential ﬂy breeding sources, including accumulations of organic debris, contaminated liquids, and any other materials capable

As more unmarried couples buy homes, financial conversations are becoming essential

By Eli Underwood for Underwood Law via Stacker

Owning a home is still a big part of the Americandream.

Getting there, however, looks very different from what it did for previous generations. People still buy homes today (sales increased by 3.2% in May 2026, according to the National Association of Realtors), but they face higher hurdles, such as the exorbitant cost of living and soaring housing prices.

One way to overcome these hurdles is to buy a home with a partner. Yet, because younger generations (mainly Millennials and Gen Z) are either putting off marriage or skipping it altogether, homeowners are more likely to be unmarried.

A 2024 Zillow report shows that 63% of buyers share ownership of their home with at least one other person, but only half of them co-buy with a spouse. The rest prefer to share with a romantic partner, friend, or even a relative.

Splitting costs makes financial sense, but co-owners need clear agreements to avoid disputes if the relationship ends. Before signing the paperwork, Underwood Law, legal experts in dividing jointly owned property, recommends having an honest conversation about money, ownership, and what happens if life doesn't go according to plan.

What It Means to Own Property With an Unmarried Partner

When hearing about unmarried couples that buy

homes, the mind immediately goes to romantic partners, but this isn’t always the case.

The main issue is that U.S. property laws treat unmarried individuals as separate legal entities rather than a single, blended financial entity. If two people no longer want to be co-owners, they won’t benefit from the equitable distribution of assets that’s common for married couples.

On the plus side, combining two incomes and credit histories allows co-owners to qualify for a larger mortgage and split the high costs of a down payment, property taxes, and maintenance. Plus, instead of throwing money at rent, they build long-term wealth through home appreciation.

Home co-ownership can also offer tax advantages. For example, one partner may choose to itemize deductions (mortgage interest and property taxes) while the other claims the standard deduction, potentially maximizing the household's overall tax savings.

The Real Estate Hostage Situation

No one likes to imagine a good relationship coming to an end, but life is unpredictable. Romantic partners break up, close friends drift apart, and even family members can have fallingouts.

Being tied to someone through a mortgage after the relationship ends may lead to the discovery that

moving on emotionally is much easier than moving on financially. Things can get complicated if one person wants to sell and the other refuses. Unlike a divorce court, which systematically divides assets, there is no automatic legal mechanism to handle a breakup. Misaligned intentions regarding property decisions can lead to a lengthy, expensive legal battle called a partition lawsuit to force a sale.

This situation can be avoided with a legal agreement between co-owners that outlines what happens if their interests no longer align or if one partner’s circumstances change drastically (loss of income, illness, or death).

But to put together this type of agreement, it’s important to have some honest, albeit uncomfortable, conversations.

Conversations to Have Before Searching For a Home

While it’s not unlikely for unmarried couples to buy homes, having honest, open conversations about finances, decision-making, asset division, and the future in general is still a touchy subject.

Expectations

-What does each person envision this partnership to be?

-What are the goals regarding homeownership?

-What type of property are they hoping to buy, where, and why?

-Is there a preferred location? Do each partner’s expectations align?

-What’s the budget for the down payment and mortgage?

- How will disagreements regarding what to buy, repair, or replace be handled?

These questions will help

gauge desires and expectations as joint homeowners. These will serve as future frameworks for future agreements. Otherwise, this will only be a nice talk, with no power to enforce the terms should push come to shove.

Finances

-Income (present and expected) and debt

-Credit scores (they can impact loan terms or interest rates)

-Savings that can go into the down payment, moving expenses, and closing costs

- Monthly costs (mortgage, insurance, utilities) that each party is comfortable supporting

-Financial goals now and for the future

- How much to contribute monthly to the emergency fund

Who Applies For The Mortgage and Who Holds the Title

Pay attention: A name on the mortgage isn’t the same as ownership. The title determines who the owner is.

The mortgage is a financial contract with a lender. It is a promise to repay a loan. Being on the mortgage means being legally obligated to pay for the house, but it confers zero rights of ownership.

The deed is the physical legal document that transfers ownership, and the title is the legal right to use and own the property. Whoever is named on the deed owns the home.

If one co-owner qualifies for the loan (perhaps due to higher income or stronger credit), but both names are on the deed, that person is legally obligated to repay the full debt. Their partner owns half of the home, with zero loan obligations. That's an imbalanced arrangement.

This distinction matters. Get a lawyer involved if there's any doubt about who's on the mortgage versus the deed.

Open Communication and A Solid Agreement

For many couples, buying a home can be a smart financial decision. Before signing on the dotted line, take the time to have the uncomfortable conversations.

All parties should be on the same page about money, ownership, responsibilities, and what happens if circumstances change.

Just as importantly, don't rely on verbal promises or good intentions alone. A home is one of the largest financial commitments most people will ever make, so it's worth protecting with a written co-ownership agreement drafted by a qualified legal professional.

Setting clear expectations from the start may feel awkward in the moment, but it can save both partners significant stress, expense, and conflict down the road.

Afederal judge has scheduledthe antitrust trial over Paramount Skydance Corp.'s proposed $110 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. for next March.

U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguínwrote that the trial will take place from March 2 to March 19 of next year in federal court in Oakland.

The trial dates are significant because after Sept. 30, Paramount will have to pay about $7 million for every day the transaction doesn't close, under an agreement with WBD.

Paramount previously announced that the planned takeover would remain on hold while it defends against antitrust lawsuits filed last

Paramountreported mixed quarterly numbers Tuesday with strong streaming and a continuing drop in traditional broadcast TV viewing. The company also said it "fully expects" the merger to close.

"As it relates to the planned acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, we fully expect the transaction to close and remain focused on preparing for a successful combination once it is complete," Paramount CEO David Ellison wrote in a letter to shareholders.

After the states filed suit July 13, the Writers Guild of

America sued to block the deal on the grounds it would cause harm to writers and shrink the labor market.

The guild alleges Paramount's pending acquisition of WBD would reduce opportunities, lower pay and worsen working conditions for writers. The union argues that the elimination of a key competitor and the creation of a dominant firm would reduce the quantity and variety of theatrical films and television series as the merged company would have a greater ability to reduce output.

Poll shows support for public lands in new Congressional District 40

By Joe Taglieri joet@civicnewsgroup.com

Poll results released Monday showed that public lands are very important to voters across the political spectrum in California’s new 40th Congressional District, which includes sections of Orange and Riverside counties.

Poll participants thought public lands were an important issue both in voters’ personal lives and when forming opinions about their representative in Congress, according to the Power in Nature Coalition.

The survey by Alexandria, Virginia-based North Star Opinion Research showed protecting public lands is an important issue for Democratic, Republican and independent voters. Poll takers reported regularly visiting parks and nature preserves while noting concerns about their maintenance and accessibility.

The poll gathered opinions from 400 registered voters in the newly formed 40th District in the foothills of Orange and Riverside counties from eastern Mission Viejo in OC and southern Corona to Murrieta in Riverside County.

“Supporting policies that protect public lands, and opposing policies that harm them, unites Californians across the political spectrum,” Dan Judy, vice president of North Star Opinion Research, said in a statement. “Republicans, Independents and Demo-

crats alike all visit public lands. This survey confirmed that public lands are one of the rare issues bringing Americans together. Public lands are broadly popular: 88% of voters are more favorable to a member of Congress who supports funding to take care of these places.”

The Power in Nature Coalition highlighted these findings:

• 65% of 40th District voters visit public lands at least a few times per year.

• 87% opposed proposals to sell public lands to private interests and cut off use for residents and visitors to the region.

• 80%, including 68% of Republicans and 82% of independents, said it is unwise to reduce funding and staffing for public lands,

• 79% of poll participants, including 70% of Republicans and 80% of independents, said protecting and preserving public lands and access is an important issue for their vote for Congress in the upcoming election in November.

• 88% were more favorable to congressional representative who supports funding to take good care of public lands, including facilities and park rangers.

“Southland residents highly value their public lands as the pressures of urban life and urban infrastructure limit opportunities to enjoy nature,”

Melanie Schlotterbeck, conservation consultant for Hills For Everyone and Power in Nature's Southland regional lead, said in a statement.

“Opportunities for recreation are both limited and prized by recreational enthusiasts. The stunning San Mateo Canyon Wilderness is just one of those locations where visitors can enjoy breathtaking views, see the headwaters of a coastal watershed, and see wildlife like deer, cougars, and grey foxes.”

The 40th District is known for natural beauty and rolling foothills, like those found in San Mateo Canyon Wilderness and Cleveland National Forest’s Trabuco District, which contain the headwaters of Trabuco Creek and a population of Southern steelhead trout, coalition members said. Other significant public spaces are within the Santa Ana Mountains, including Casper’s Wilderness Park and O’Neill Regional Park.

Those parks protect lands via Orange County's park system and provide a home to the state-threatened mountain lion. District 40 also has the Coal Canyon Ecological Preserve and southern portions of Chino Hills State Park, which have the northernmost stand of Tecate cypress trees. The trees are found in only 20 places worldwide, according to the coalition.

“Mountain biking in

Orange County is one of the greatest experiences anyone can have,” David Browning, president of the Orange County Mountain Bike Association, said in a statement. “That’s why members of OCMTBA are passionate about keeping public lands protected and trail systems accessible for everyone to enjoy. We helped fight off Congress’ proposed public lands sell-off last year, opposed the firing of land managers, and we’re still standing up against the rollback of the Roadless Rule and other attempts to take away access to our backcountry.”

This survey was conducted June 16-22. The margin of error for the full sample is plus or minus 4.9%, according to North Star, which is a national public opinion research firm that does surveys and focus groups for associations, nonprofit organizations, corporations and Republican candidates for office at all levels of government.

More information on the poll's methodology and results is available online via tinyurl.com/3htpuy2z.

Sometimes it takes days and even weeks to call an election in the Golden State, mostly because it takes time to count tens of millions of mail-in ballots.

The California Voter Foundation just published a list of ways to speed up the process. Mail-in ballots

arriving on or after Election Day tend to slow down the count considerably, according to the foundation.

Kim Alexander, founder and president of the foundation, said voters can really help out by turning in ballots earlier or voting in person.

"We're hoping voters

By Suzanne Potter, Public News Service

will get into a new habit of turning in their ballot a little bit earlier," Alexander advised. "We suggest the Saturday before the election, and if they can turn that ballot in in person, that's even better."

The foundation supports two new bills, currently in appropriations committees,

to make best practices available in all counties. One bill would allow people to bring a mail-in ballot to the polls on Election Day and have it tabulated immediately. Another would make it easier to verify a signature through an online portal if the ballot is challenged because the signature on the

The boundaries of California's 40th Congressional District were significantly redrawn by Proposition 50, which voters approved in November. The measure put forth by Gov. Gavin Newsom was a mid-decade effort to counter redistricting in Texas designed to increase Republicans in the House of Representatives. District 40's redrawn boundaries combine portions of Orange County and the Inland Empire, forcing incumbent Republican Reps. Young Kim and Ken Calvert to face-off against each other for the seat.

Proposition 50 turned Calvert's 41st District heavily Democratic, forcing him to switch races and run for the 40th District seat.

Experts suggest ways to speed up ballot counting in California

envelope is not sufficiently like the one on a driver’s license.

Alexander added in many recent elections, the delays in calling a winner have given oxygen to false claims of voter fraud.

"That further undermines voter confidence," Alexander explained. "Having our races

called more quickly by the media shortens the amount of time available for bad actors to share mis- and disinformation about our elections process."

The foundation suggested shortening the time counties have to “cure” a challenged ballot from 22 days to 14.

Applications open for Rose Parade court; Tournament of Roses signs with UTA

By Staff

The Pasadena Tournament of Roses is now accepting applications for the 2027 Rose Court, the organization announced Monday.

Members of the court for the annual Rose-themed parade and college football bowl game serve as ambassadors for the Tournament of Roses, the Pasadena community and the greater Los Angeles area, Tournament officials said. Court members participate in community activities and gain experiences designed to build self-confidence and encourage service.

"We're looking for applicants who bring diverse strengths and perspectives — whether they're natural public speakers, youth leaders, academic stars or community and school leaders," according to a statement from the Tournament of Roses.

Applicants need not have every quality because Rose Court members are chosen

to represent a diverse panel of ambassadors, event organizers said.

Each Rose Court member receives a $7,500 scholarship.

Eligible applicants must live and attend school full time in the Pasadena Area Community College District or one of seven additional eligible ZIP codes, including in Eagle Rock, Highland Park, San Gabriel and Alhambra.

Initial applicant interviews are set for Sept. 5 and Sept. 8 at the Tournament House, 391 S. Orange Grove Blvd. in Pasadena.

Officials said the 2027 Rose Court will be announced Sept. 28, with the 108th Rose Queen to be crowned Oct. 27.

Next year's Rose Court will process down Colorado Boulevard during the 138th Rose Parade and attend the College Football Playoff quarterfinal at the 113th Rose Bowl Game, both set for Jan. 1.

More information about eligibility requirements and the application are available at tournamentofroses.com/ about/rose-court.

PToR signs with UTA

The Tournament of Roses announced last week it has acquired representation by United Talent Agency.

The Beverly Hills-based agency will represent the Pasadena Tournament of Roses and the Rose Parade as the nonprofit organization seeks to broaden the reach of one of the region's most enduring New Year's Day traditions.

"The Tournament of Roses proudly produces both the Rose Parade and the Rose Bowl Game, creating one of the most recognized New Year's Day celebrations in the world," PToR CEO David Eads said in a statement. "UTA brings deep expertise at a time of rapid change across the media industry, and we look forward to working together to ensure the Rose Parade continues

The Rose Parade and its floral floats, marching bands, equestrian units and musical performers have appeared annually in Pasadena for over 135 years.

Last year's event generated 34 million domestic viewers across linear tele-

vision and streaming platforms, including 27 million traditional television viewers, 2.2 million streaming viewers and 5.2 million TikTok viewers, according to the Tournament of Roses.

USC releases ﬁndings on soil, ocean contamination from LA ﬁres

By City News Service

Nineteen months after the wildfires erupted in Pacific Palisades and Altadena, USC researchers Tuesday announced findings showing elevated lead levels in some neighborhoods while concluding that most firerelated chemicals detected in coastal waters returned to typical levels within months.

The findings are part of USC's Contaminant Level Evaluation and Analysis for Neighborhoods project, known as CLEAN, which analyzed more than 6,000 soil samples collected from more than 3,000 households and more than 900 seawater samples.

to partner with the Tournament of Roses on this iconic event."

Tournament officials said the parade is broadcast domestically and in more than 70 countries.

Researchers said the fires released lead into the environment, but preexisting contamination from sources such as lead-based paint at older homes makes it difficult to distinguish fire-related contamination from existing pollution.

The report also found no evidence of countywide post-fire contamination from other metals that generated concern after the fires, including arsenic, mercury and hexavalent chromium.

According to the study,

"Communities deserve clear, science-based information about their environment after the LA fires," Dr. Erika Garcia, a USC Keck associate professor and environmental epidemiologist who advises the CLEAN project, said in a statement. "With clear data about what is in their soil, LA residents can make more informed decisions about engaging in possible risk reduction strategies or perhaps their minds will be put at ease knowing that their soil lead is not at a level of high public health concern."

lead concentrations varied widely across individual properties, with one soil sample on average containing about twice as much lead as another collected just a few feet away. Researchers said the findings underscore the importance of testing individual properties.

"Every property is different," said Josh West, a USC Dornsife professor of Earth sciences and a principal investigator on the CLEAN project. "Lead levels can vary substantially even within a single yard, so testing your own soil remains the best way to understand potential exposure."

The CLEAN Waters team also monitored Southern California beaches and coastal waters for 18 months, finding that nutrients, metals and hundreds of fire-related compounds increased in the weeks after the fires before

returning to more typical levels within several months.

"The fires left a clear signal in the ocean, but it wasn't a permanent one," USC Dornsife Biological Sciences Assistant Professor Noelle Held said. "We were able to track how fire-related chemicals moved through coastal waters and

watch many of them decline over time."

USC said the research builds on earlier studies of heavy metals in beach sand and seawater and provides a broader picture of how wildfire debris affected coastal ecosystems.

Researchers also released

a home and yard guide to help residents reduce potential exposure to contaminants and said the CLEAN project has expanded its sampling efforts to examine lead concerns following the Boyle Heights warehouse fire. The guide can be found at https://www. consortium-science.com/.

Latest UCI poll shows Orange County evenly divided between gubernatorial candidates

By City News Service

Anew poll of Orange Countyvoters released last week by UC Irvine's School of Social Ecology shows residents evenly split between the Democratic and Republican candidates for governor, further emphasizing how purple the county has become politically.

A poll of 809 Orange County voters June 9 through June 12 shows Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton narrowly leading former Attorney General Xavier Becerra by a 47% to 44% margin with a 4.2% margin of error.

UCI professor Jon B. Gould, dean of the School of Social Ecology, said there has been statewide polling "that gives Becerra a fairly wide margin, which is why results in Orange County are so interesting because it shows what a purple county it is now... It is more moderate conservative than the rest of the state."

In fact, Orange County is unusual nationally as well, Gould said.

Of the 25 largest counties by population in the country, Orange County is one of three that are this evenly split, Gould said.

"What makes it more interesting is where we're seeing different groups going," Gould said. "For example, Latinos traditionally have been a very Democratic group, but over the last two to four years we've seen them split between Democrat and independent."

Asian-Americans in the county have traditionally been "fairly Republican," but now are "polling very much independent or no party preference," Gould said.

Another interesting trend is how younger voters are skewing more progressive, but drifting more toward independent than Democratic voters, Gould said.

"That is a reflection of young people disillusioned by

politicians" no matter their affiliation, Gould said.

A majority of younger voters in Orange County told pollsters they favor socialism over capitalism, and while they are drifting away from the Democratic Party "they cannot stand Trump."

The younger voters are "left of center" as well as "disillusioned with leadership," Gould said.

Housing is a top concern with 61% naming it as one of the most important issues facing the state, according to the poll. That puts it well ahead of homelessness and gas prices at 46%, and government spending at 40%.

The cost of housing tops the list for every group surveyed, Gould said.

"The cost of living broadly defined is the number one issue," Gould said.

President Donald Trump's approval rating among Gen Z voters was at 14% in the poll with 53% of Boomers favoring the president,

according to the poll. But 45% of Gen Z voters say they will definitely cast a ballot in November compared with 87% of Boomers.

Overall, Trump's approval rating was 35%.

Latino voters support Becerra, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate, by 54% to 37% in the poll. AsianAmerican voters back Becerra 50% to 41%.

About half of Latino voters plan to cast a ballot, and 59% of Asian-American voters plan to head to the polls, compared with 82% of white voters, according the poll.

Men back Hilton by 14 points while women support Becerra by eight points.

The poll also showed that voters think the country is going in the wrong direction. The numbers have

remained the same over the past few years with 65% saying the U.S. was on the wrong track in 2023, 61% in 2024, and 62% in March and 66% according to the survey released last week.

Fifty-eight percent of the respondents said the state is on the wrong path.

As for Orange County, 42% say it is on the right path.

As of last week, the Los Angeles Zoo has four new baby Boer goats ready to greet visitors, who can meet and pet them.

The four female Boer goat kids can be seen at the ranch area within the Winnick Family Children's Zoo. Boer goats originated from South Africa, and their name comes from the Dutch word "boer," which means "farmer." Boer goats arrived in the United States in the early 1990s and quickly became popular for farming and livestock shows.

Guests can visit the four baby goats alongside the

"People love visiting the goats, and we are excited to expand the experience and watch our guests' reactions,"

Dominick Dorsa II, director of animal care for the L.A. Zoo, said in a statement.

"It is enriching for both our guests and the animals, and the close encounters help foster empathy for wildlife and create meaningful connections to nature."

The Boer goat kids were born six months ago at

Covina High School as part of their Future Farmers of America program. Students cared for the goats' mothers while they were pregnant and assisted with the care of the kids before they arrived at the zoo.

Angie Bacon, FAA advisor and agricultural science teacher at Covina High School, said their program started in 1948. The school remains the only FAA chapter in the San Gabriel Valley with around 200 participating students.

Bacon said the school is fortunate to have a Boer goat breeding program that gives

students hands-on experience working with large livestock. She added that the program prepares students for careers in animal health

Altadena is our home. We founded ALI because homeowners deserve a clear, community-driven solution to rebuild and stay," Altadena Land Initiatives Corp. co-founder Ursula Hyman said in a statement. "Preserving homeownership is essential to protecting the character and stability of our neighborhoods."

For homeowners who want to rebuild, the gap between available insurance proceeds and the actual cost of rebuilding reaches 40%-50% of total rebuild costs, amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars that FEMA, insurance companies, SBA loans and other recovery resources have failed to close, ALI reported. The result is families must choose between high-interest debt, selling their homes or moving away from the

ALI's "first-of-its-kind model" involves purchasing each loan the moment it is issued, serving as the financial engine behind each family's rebuilding effort.

In addition to the loan, ALI personnel works alongside each family through insurance reviews that help maximize the resources currently available to them.

People assume that if you have insurance, you can rebuild. That is just not the case for us or for many families we know,"

homeowners and program participants Nate and Molly Perkins said jointly in a statement. "There is a staggering gap between what it costs to rebuild and what families have. ALI gave us a path forward with the confidence that we can rebuild our lives when we thought we had run out of options."

Cathay Bank employees, attorneys, builders, people from nonprofits, disaster case managers and community members came together to establish the program infrastructure from

scratch, much of it contributed pro bono, according to ALI. As homeowners receive financial settlements from Southern California Edison and repay their loans, that capital is recycled into new financing for the next family ready to rebuild.

"We believe community investment goes beyond traditional lending," Cathay Bank President and CEO Chang Liu said in a statement. "It means taking the initiative to create something new when the situation demands it. We are

proud to have developed the financing infrastructure that makes this program possible, and we stand with Altadena families as they rebuild their homes and their futures."

According to ALI, the Altadena loan program is a blueprint with the potential to change how communities recover from disaster, with the aim of bringing families home faster and on terms that hold up over the long term.

TThe Huntington holds ﬁrst Sunday Supper Series: 'This Filipino American Life'

heHuntington’s opening program in its "This Land Is … Sunday Supper and Conversation Series" featured the podcast "This Filipino American Life," exploring the culture of the Philippines and Filipino American food, storytelling and legacy through historical archives, discussion, artmaking and a tasting menu by Justin Foronda of HiFi Kitchen.

Co-presented by The Huntington and the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, the evening event on July 26 was hosted by the team from This Filipino American life podcast. Attendees pondered on the theme of "This Land Is ..." and shared their lived Filipino experience in the United States.

"This Land Is … Sunday Supper and Conversation Series" was conceived by Nenette Luarca-Shoaf, The Huntington’s Director of Education and Public Engagement. By email she discussed how it came about, her collaborators and what programs are in the series, among other things.

“I first had the idea for the series a little more than a year ago as we brainstormed programs for The Huntington's 'This Land Is ...' initiative,” Luarca-Shoaf recalled. “Institutionally and within the Education division, we wanted to create opportunities for learning history while also reflecting on how those histories have shaped who we are today. I kept thinking about a family dinner or kitchen table and the way that current events and serious issues can be

discussed by people with differing opinions, and how food can help to soften the edges of those encounters.

“As plans developed for the ‘Filipino Food Magic’ program in March, I had the chance to meet Joe Bernardo over lunch with research fellow Cathy Ceniza Choy and Huntington curator Linde Lehtinen,” LuarcaShoaf said further.

“We drew a lot on Joe's knowledge of Filipino diasporic history and were inspired by objects in The Huntington's collection that photography curator Linde Lehtinen — one of the curators of the exhibition and someone who has been adding to the depth of our library collection relating to the Philippines — brought to our attention. One example is a scrapbook in The Huntington collection that visitors can see in the 'This Land Is ...' exhibition," Luarca-Shoaf explained. "It belonged to Domingo Salas, a Filipino chauffeur working in the first half of the 20th century and includes clippings from his life in Southern California as well as memories of home in the Philippines. We thought about the ways in which different generations document their lives and share their stories with the next generations, and also the way that food connects us to our memories and our heritage.

“Working with Justin Foronda of HiFi Kitchen has been exciting as well, as he understood what we were trying to do in showing how culture continues but also evolves, and he was able to

create dishes that accompany each era of Filipino American history,” added Luarca-Shoaf.

Through the series, Luarca-Shoaf wants to bring together people from diverse backgrounds to learn from one another’s stories, find their common ground and use history and creativity to look ahead. She hopes that partaking in a meal will help people create a sense of community and joy in the process. Taking their cue from Salas, her team will be making their own scrapbook pages during the program to document the evening and the ideas, memories and experiences from their time together.

A total of three suppers and conversations have been planned for this year. On the last week of August, the program will feature Zocalo Public Square and discuss community-based agriculture. The LA Commons will take center stage on the first Sunday in October and look into healing in relationship to land and the connections between Leimert Park and Altadena.

Luarca-Shoaf’s collaborator on this program, Joseph Bernardo, was one of the three original founders of This Filipino American Life podcast. He earned a doctorate degree in Filipino American history and culture, a subject he had been studying for years. After leaving academia, he discovered podcasting as an ideal forum to share ideas and discuss issues affecting the Filipino American community in a fun and entertain-

Health officials said they were monitoring corrective actions and conducting regular inspections to make sure Lineage was comply-

ing way. He approached Ryan Carpio, who worked with him at Mayor Eric Garcetti’s office, about starting a podcast; Carpio loved the idea at the outset.

Elaine Dolalas, who ran her own podcast — the nowdefunct "Oblivious Nerd Girl’s Great Idea" — joined the team as a counterpart to Bernardo and Carpio’s perspective. She also brought on board her husband Mike, who had helped produce her previous podcasts and, like her, was also involved in LA’s Filipino American community. The Filipino American Life podcast was born and the three have been co-hosting it since. In 2024, Carpio stepped down and the team brought on Kat Carrido-Bonds.

The Sunday Supper and Conversation featuring "This Filipino American Life" was

a sold out event and had a long wait list. It took place at an outdoor venue — The Huntington’s Kitchen Garden — on a sweltering evening. The temperature was 93 degrees F which was made even hotter because of the humidity. But not one of the people there complained about it.

Bernardo led attendees through the shared history of the Philippines and the United States. Lehtinen provided context for the images in the plexiglass frames on each table that pertained to the events being discussed. Attendees enjoyed the food prepared by Foronda.

Luarca-Shoaf and her collaborators — Lehtinen, Bernardo and his This Filipino American Life podcast co-hosts, Foranda and his HiFi Kitchen team —

methodically planned each segment of the event, which they pulled off superbly. They even managed to import Manila weather that reminded some of us of our homeland.

It’s worth noting that the Sunday Supper and Conversation series is part of The Huntington’s celebration of the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence from British rule and, incidentally, marks the day the Philippines gained independence from American sovereignty on July 4, 1946. The United States freed the Philippines 80 years ago, but many Filipinos today still feel a deep connection to America. For while the U.S. severed its hold over the Philippines, the ties that bind the two countries are forged within the hearts of the Filipino people.

ing with the orders. The Public Health Department also issued a directive to the company on June 29 requiring mitigation work in Boyle Heights and other communities affected by the warehouse fire and decaying food.

Last week health officials said penalties would increase from $500 for each

citation to up to $2,000 a day for ongoing health violations at the site.

The company reported its community support efforts total more than $3.3 million.
