California Water Use Drops 27.3 Percent, Exceeds 25 Percent Mandate for June San Gabriel Valley Water Company - Reduced Water Use by 35 Percent in June
- Photo by Ted Jorgensen
By Terry Miller What Speaker of the House, John Boehner failed to realize a couple of weeks ago when he attacked Arcadia for its water conservation efforts was that in California, we care about conservation and do not blame it ( the drought ) on President Obama. The absurd remark left Arcadia city officials almost speechless last month when
the Speaker posted a snarky comment about Arcadia’s “ Going Brown is the new Green” on his Facebook page. In Mid June we shared with our readers a photo depicting Arcadia’s efforts to reduce water usage and the Speaker of the House decided, in his infinite wisdom, to shed some “Republican light” on the drought – even more absurd than a Donald Trump remark, if that’s possible.
Here’s what Speaker John Boehner posted this on his Facebook page: “If ever there was a phrase that perfectly encapsulates liberal environmentalists’ backwards priorities and regressive ideology of restriction and scarcity, it is the one now displayed on a government sign in Arcadia, California: ‘It’s ‘green’ to go brown.’ Visit http://j. mp/1M8kIay to learn more

about what Congress is doing to end President Obama’s man-made water shortage in the West and allow water resources to be managed in a way that actually makes sense.” Arcadia’s illustrious city manager, Dominic Lazaretto, had this marvelous quip to the Speaker’s absurd remarks: “If the Speaker would like to send Arcadia the thousands of acre-feet of water we

A 32-year-old man was sentenced to 42 years and eight months to life in state prison for trafficking several teenage girls for sex in the Long Beach area between 2006 and 2013, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. On Nov. 25, 2014, a jury found Robert Jerome Walker of Compton guilty of six felony counts: four counts of human trafficking of a minor for a sex act and one count each of dissuading a witness from prosecuting a crime and lewd act upon a child in case NA096265. Deputy District Attorney Rachel Hardiman, who prosecuted the case, said Walker was a member of a group of pimps that referred to themselves as the Compton Division. The pimps forced teenage girls to prostitute themselves in the Compton and Long Beach areas, the prosecutor said. According to the prosecutor, Walker made each of his four victims engage in acts of prostitution by using force and threats of violence. The youngest Please see page 2
Board of Supervisors Approves Diversion and Jail Plan
By staff writer District partners with Cal Poly Pomona College of Engineering to strengthen career pathways Baldwin Park Unified is expanding its partnership with Project Lead The Way (PLTW) – the nation’s leading provider of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) curriculum – to deepen student opportunities for career and college pathways.

District leaders say the new curriculum complements efforts by Baldwin Park High’s STEAM Academy, Holland Middle School’s exemplary science program Please see page 2
The Board of Supervisors approved a joint motion on jail diversion by Supervisors Mark Ridley-Thomas and Sheila Kuehl, with amendments by Supervisors Michael D. Antonovich and Hilda Solis. “Resuming the work on the jail plan, coupled with new strategies on diversion, is a step in the right direction and avoids further delays in much needed improvements to the existing jail conditions as well as treatment services for inmates with medical, mental health and drug addiction problems,” said Mayor Antonovich. Supervisor Sheila Kuehl moved to approve Antonovich’s motion regarding
the jail plan by amending the number of beds at Consolidated Correctional Treatment Facility (CCTF) from 4,600 to 3,885 which was approved by Supervisors Antonovich and Mark Ridley-Thomas but opposed by Supervisor Don Knabe with Supervisor Hilda Solis abstaining. Additional amendments to the diversion motion were also offered by Mayor Antonovich and Supervisor Solis and approved by the Board. Mayor Antonovich’s amendment required that development and expansion of treatment services and housing capacity in the community include robust outreach and input
from those residing in the surrounding neighborhoods directly affected. Additional amendments were also approved by the Board. Supervisor Solis’ amendment was to have the name be the “Office of Diversion and ReEntry” instead of the “Office of Diversion” and include greater community representation on the Permanent Steering Committee. The Diversion motion by Supervisors Ridley-Thomas and Kuehl and related amendments follow the recent independent study by Health Management Associates and Pulitzer/Bogard & Associates which recomPlease see page 4

Former Teacher Charged With Unlawful Sex With Students A former substitute teacher at San Pedro High School is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday on multiple charges of unlawful sex with two minors, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced today. Michelle Yeh (dob 8/22/86) is scheduled to be arraigned after 8:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Long Beach Branch of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Department S01. Prosecutors will ask that her bail be set at $250,000. Deputy District Attorney Bob Hight with the Sex Crimes Division is prosecuting the case. Yeh was charged today in case NA102335 with four counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor under 16, two counts of oral copulation of a minor under 16, two counts of lewd act on a child 15 years of age, all felonies involving two male victims. In addition, she is charged with three misdemeanor counts of child mo-
lesting or sexual annoyance involving two additional male victims. Yeh, who became a permanent substitute teacher in February, allegedly pursued relationships with several students that included buying them gifts, taking one to Disneyland and meeting another at a hotel. If convicted, Yeh, who is no longer a teacher, faces up to nine years, eight months in state prison. The case remains under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department.

and Santa Fe School’s focus on STEM, especially technology. The STEAM Academy, which includes arts as well as STEM topics, is one of three career academies at Baldwin Park High School. The program provides interdisciplinary instruction around its STEAM theme. Signature projects include an egg drop, bridge-building and vehicle-building contests. Topics weave through math, history, English and social studies. “Project Lead The Way adds a vital engineering component to our program,” Principal Anthony Ippolito said. “Together, these elements are really helping us to ensure students have the knowledge and skills to pursue college and career pathways.” Baldwin Park’s efforts to strengthen college and career pathways helped earn the school a California Gold Ribbon – the state’s highest award – in 2015. Ippolito said the programs offered at Holland and Santa Fe will work in conjunction with Baldwin Park’s engineering program and could even help prepare students for the high school’s Medical Academy, which has a sports medicine focus. Holland Middle School,
which earned a state Gold Ribbon this spring for its effective science instruction, will offer the Gateway program’s foundational class in engineering modeling and design as an 18-week program in fall and spring, allowing up to 50 students to take part. In 2016-17, Holland will add a foundational program in automation and robotics; specialized courses may follow the next year. “We’re building a pipeline of opportunities for our students that will continue in high school and eventually lead to college,” Principal Michael Rust said. “We’re dedicated to giving these students every opportunity under the sun to succeed.” At Santa Fe School – a smaller campus with about 400 students in grades three through eight – programs will be offered to more than 30 eighth-grade students as an elective and incorporated into science classes taken by all fifthgraders, Principal Margie Clark said. In addition, the school is looking to launch a PLTW club to help spark student interest. “The goal is to get students excited about these opportunities,” Clark said. “I think they’ll be amazed at all the things they can create, especially with the robotics elements.”

Anita Golf Course, perhaps he will understand the true facts about our drought and Arcadia’s tremendous efforts to conserve.” This being an aside, California is making major strides in reducing usage: The Governor’s office this week released some encouraging stats that prove that while in a historic drought, California can still save water. With record-breaking heat throughout much of the State in June, Californians continued to conserve water, reducing water use by 27.3 percent and exceeding Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr.’s 25 percent mandate in the first month that the new emergency conservation regulation was in effect. “Californians understand the severity of the drought and they are taking action, as shown by the numbers released today,” said Felicia Marcus, Chair of the State Water Resources Control Board. “We didn’t know if the positive showing in May was due in part to cooler temperatures. This report shows that residents knew they had to keep conserving even during the summer heat and they kept the sprinklers off more than they would in a normal year. That’s the right attitude as we head into August and September heat--in the drought of the century with no certain end date.” Despite being the hottest June on record, California’s urban water suppliers exceeded the statewide conservation goal, saving 59.4 billion gallons (182,151 acre-feet), as compared to the same time in 2013. June conservation efforts put the State on track to achieve the 1.2 million acre feet savings goal by February 2016, as called for by the Governor in his April 1 Executive Order. Water suppliers have made significant Investments in their education and outreach programs to
communicate the need to conserve to their customers. June’s enforcement statistics highlight the growing awareness of how water is used locally as a result of these programs. Water suppliers reported that their compliance and enforcement programs saw an almost two-fold increase in the number of complaints of water waste which resulted in a big jump in reported penalties. Monthly water use reports are required by the emergency water conservation regulation, and are provided to the State Water Board by urban water suppliers. Urban water suppliers are expected to meet, or exceed, their individual conservation standard starting in June and continuing through February 2016. The year 2013 serves as the baseline for determining water savings statewide. The current report is posted here. June Highlights: The percent of water saved by the State’s large urban water agency suppliers decreased from 29.1 percent in May to 27.3 percent in June, in same-month water use comparisons of 2015 to 2013. June 2015 was the warmest June on record. The amount of water saved in June 2015 (59.4 billion gallons) is six times more than the amount of water saved during the same month in 2014 (9.6 billion gallons), when the State’s voluntary 20 percent conservation goal was in effect. The June 2015 savings are 15 percent of the statewide savings goal of 1.2 million acre feet of water needed by February 2016. 265 water suppliers, serving 27.2 million people met or exceeded their conservation standard.

40 percent of all urban water suppliers reduced their water use by 30 percent or more. In April, water suppliers began reporting on their compliance and enforcement efforts to promote conservation and reduce water waste. The June statistics demonstrate community and water supplier commitment to identify and correct wasteful practices: 43,942 water waste complaints were reported statewide (by 371 suppliers), compared with 28,793 complaints reported in May (by 353 suppliers); 35,295 formal warnings were issued for water waste statewide (by 307 suppliers), compared with 36,082 formal warnings in May (by 279 suppliers); and 9,582 penalties were issued statewide (by 52 suppliers), compared with 1,928 penalties issued in May (by 49 suppliers). By the end of June, four suppliers (one percent) had not imposed mandatory irrigation restrictions, and 19 suppliers (five percent) reported that they still allow outdoor watering seven days a week. The June urban water supplier enforcement statistics can be found here. June’s Top Performers “In normal years, water
use rises dramatically in the hot summer months. But this year, during the hottest June on record, Californians proved that that they have the ingenuity and commitment to meet this challenge,” said Marcus. “Agencies have stepped up to the plate to engage with their customers and it shows. The public knows how bad the drought is, and agencies need to help them know what to do. Letting lawns go golden, taking shorter showers, and other actions can pay off in greater urban water security in the event of more dry years, but, at the same time, we need to be clear that trees should be watered.” Dozens of communities achieved conservation levels of more than 30 percent in June 2015. Some of these stand-out communities include: Menlo Park (Bay Area), California Water Service – Antelope Valley (High Desert) and Arvin Community Services District (Tulare Lake Region). These high achievers include both inland and coastal communities, proving that it can be done. Suppliers demonstrating remarkable performance included: Los Angeles County’s Antelope Valley Waterworks District (District #40) - realized a 42 percent
reduction in June water use, nearly doubling the 22 percent savings achieved in May. The District has implemented penalties for excessive water use and a drought surcharge to discourage excess water use. San Gabriel Valley Water Company - reduced water use by 35 percent in June, 1.5 times greater than the 23 percent reduction recorded in May. San Gabriel Valley’s Stage 2 drought restrictions and penalties were approved by the California Public Utilities Commission on June 22, 2015. Santa Clara Valley Water District - set a 30 percent savings goal for its service area in March 2015 and 9 of its 11 urban water suppliers, including the San Jose Water Company and the City of San Jose, exceeded the 30 percent goal in June, leading to an overall savings rate of 35 percent for the District. Yorba Linda Water District - implemented Stage 3 of its drought ordinance effective June 1st, creating penalties for excessive water use, and working closely with its cities, homeowner associations, and school districts to curb water use. The result was a 38 percent reduction in use, surpassing its 35 percent reduction achieved in May.

The Burbank City Council held a joint meeting with the Park, Recreation and Community Services Board and hotly debated a proposed project to build a new Boys & Girls Club facility on the grounds of city park property, specifically at the Larry L. Maxam Public Park. The Boys & Girls Club of Burbank and Greater East Valley wants the city to consider a proposal to give them permission to build a new center that will take up 16,000 square feet of public park open space. If given approval, the non-profit will raise the necessary funds to construct the new multipurpose facility that they plan on sharing with the city during non-club hours. The Boys & Girls Club Board of Directors noted that their current center is “maxed out” and that a new main club site will allow for their organization to serve more underprivileged youth in Burbank. The Park, Recreation and Community Services Board, requested this joint meeting in order to ask the Council for direction in whether or not they should partner with the Boys & Girl Clubs and negotiate a contract for park space or identify other solutions to help the organization serve the community. During the council’s
discussion, council members Emily Gabel-Luddy and Will Rogers voiced their support for going forward with the proposal and for staff to look at the necessary details for a negotiation. “The Boys & Girls Club provides free services, so it’s the kind of civic support and organization without which we would have to find a way to support it ourselves,” stated councilman Gabel-Luddy. “There won’t be city dollars involved in building the facility, and the location is in a focus neighborhood with a much higher density,” she continued. “I think that what we’re looking at is a mission that’s consistent with the mission of our Parks Department itself.” Mayor Bob Frutos and council member Dr. David Gordon were not supportive of giving up park property to the non-profit. The mayor told council members that while he supports the organization, he does not believe the city giving up open space for one nonprofit over another would be in the best interest of all of the residents in the city, especially for future generations. “I just can’t see myself supporting giving up 16,000 square feet to any non-profit. I need to support the General Plan 2035,” stated the mayor. “It’s requested and we agreed for
protection of open space. I know in the report it says, “under-utilized,” but you know what? We have to be flexible for the future.” Mayor Frutos and Dr. Gordon both recommended that the city help the organization find an alternative for a new main club site, like the closed post office building on San Fernando Road. The Boys & Girls Club noted that even though they will raise the necessary funds to build the proposed facility, they need a memorandum of understanding to move forward with their fundraising. Councilman Rogers called a motion for the staff to bring back a report on the terms and conditions of a real estate deal at Maxam Park with the Boys & Girls Club that will be appropriate in developing an MOU. Dr. Gordon called a substitute motion for the city to help the non-profit find an alternative space for a new facility. His motion was defeated by a 3-2 vote. The original motion was approved by a 3-2 vote. Vice Mayor Jess Talamantes, who stated earlier in the meeting his reservations about giving up open space useful for sports teams, voted in favor of Burbank continuing the discussion of a deal with the Boys & Girls Club. The city council staff will first report on the terms and conditions at a closed council meeting.

Local Control Returning to Ontario Airport San Bernardino County Supervisor Curt Hagman commended Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, Ontario Mayor Pro Tem Alan Wapner, and all the local elected officials who petitioned Los Angeles World Airways to return Ontario International Airport to local control as the historic agreement in principle was announced today at the Airport. “Setting Ontario Airport free has been my top priority since being elected to the Board of Supervisors last year,” noted Hagman. “This settlement of the lawsuit against Los Angeles World Airways provides for control of the Airport by the Ontario International Airport Authority (OIAA) by next year, with reasonable reimbursement to the City of Los Angeles for their investment in airport facilities. As a Member of the OIAA and the County Supervisor representing the Ontario region, I will continue to make this transformation my personal priority.” In addition
to Supervisor Hagman, the OIAA consists of Ontario City Councilmen Wapner and Jim Bowman, former Riverside Mayor Ron Loveridge, and Orange County Business Council President Lucy Dunn. The agreement in principle announced Aug. 6th is the roadmap to a formal Settlement Agreement that will terminate the lawsuit filed in 2012 by Ontario against Los Angeles World Airways and the City of Los Angeles. The Settlement Agreement is expected to be completed in 60 days. It will then be presented for approval by the Cities of Ontario and Los Angeles, the OIAA, and the Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners. The OIAA will file an application with the Federal Aviation Administration, who will review the OIAA’s fitness to operate the Airport along with the Transportation Safety Administration. This review and approval is expected to be completed by mid-2016. Supervisor Hagman also supported in the meeting of
the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Transportation Committee a revised staff forecast for 2016-40, calling upon Ontario Airport to more than double its current passenger count. The new forecast range for Ontario Airport of between 11 and 19 MAP (million annual passengers) passed overwhelmingly. “The transition to local control announced today will provide major momentum for revival of our Airport,” said Hagman. “The severe decline in Ontario Airport usage since the Recession has cost our region $400 million annually and resulted in 8,000 lost jobs. Not only can we make that up through controlling our own destiny, but innovative development and marketing of the Airport will put us at the top of that forecasted growth range. I’m excited to be part of the Ontario Airport’s leadership, and will put my private sector experience to work in maximizing its potential.”
FedEx to Pay $1.75 Million Settlement for Environmental Violations
Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey announced today that Federal Express Ground Package, Inc. has been ordered to pay $1.75 million as part of a settlement in an environmental prosecution. The settlement stems from claims that Pennsylvania-based FedEx Ground was illegally transporting and storing hazardous waste, failing to adequately train its employees regarding the proper handling of the waste and failing to appropriately dispose of the waste, Deputy District Attorney Daniel Wright of the Environmental Crimes Section said. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, working jointly with 15 other district attorney’s offic-
es, filed the suit in Sacramento County Superior Court. Judge Raymond M. Cadei signed the stipulated judgment on July 28. The judgment is the culmination of a civil enforcement lawsuit initially filed July 1, 2014 in Sacramento County and led by the district attorneys of Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, San Diego, Butte, Fresno, Humboldt, Santa Barbara and Solano counties. Prior to June 1, 2013, FedEx was not immediately identifying and then properly transporting or storing hazardous waste as it was moved between its facilities in accordance with California law, prosecutors said. Under the final judgment, FedEx must pay $1.75 million: $1.5 million
in civil penalties; $155,000 in reimbursed funds to the investigative and law enforcement agencies; $85,000 for a supplemental environmental project; and $10,000 to inform its customers of waste minimization techniques and improved packaging. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office will receive nearly $190,000 from the settlement that will be used for enforcement of consumer protection laws. N E W S R E L E A S E FedEx also will be bound under the terms of a permanent injunction prohibiting similar future violations of law. The company was cooperative during the investigation.
Amnesty for Overdue Fines at the San Bernardino Public Library
The San Bernardino Public Library will waive fines for overdue materials that are returned in acceptable condition to the Feldheym Central Library and its three branch libraries from Saturday, Aug. 22 – Thursday, Aug. 27. “The San Bernardino Public Library Board of Trustees hopes this goodwill gesture to the community, as part of Feldheym Library’s 30th anniversary celebration, will also lead to the return of
books, DVDs and other materials to help our collections. The library has had limited funds for new book purchases over the past several years since the national economic crisis of 2008 and the city’s bankruptcy declaration in 2012,” said Library Director Ed Erjavek. Patrons wanting to return materials to Feldheym and the Rowe, Inghram or Villaseñor branches are asked to return materials directly to
the library staff when the libraries are open, so staff can determine whether the materials are in acceptable condition to waive the charges from the patron’s accounts. Fines will not be waived for items returned in library bookdrops. Library hours are available at the library’s website at www.sbpl.org . Information is available from Feldheym staff at 909381-8201 and when libraries are open.
Couple Charged With Child Abuse, Man Accused of Killing Toddler A couple accused of physically abusing the woman’s two young children, leading to a toddler’s death, was charged yesterday, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. Samuel Aguilar (dob 6/11/92) has been charged with five felony counts: one count each of murder, assault on a child causing death and injuring a girlfriend and two counts of child abuse in case NA102339. Aguilar’s girlfriend, Jessica Rey Cereceres (dob 8/30/90), has been charged in the same case with two felony counts of child abuse. Aguilar is scheduled to be arraigned tomorrow in Department S01 at the Los An-
geles County Superior Court in Long Beach. Prosecutors will ask that the defendant’s bail be set at $1.28 million. Cereceres appeared today for arraignment, but the court appearance was continued to Aug. 27 in Department S01 at the Los Angeles County Superior Court in Long Beach. Her bail has been set at $200,000. Prosecutors said Aguilar and Cereceres lived together as boyfriend and girlfriend with the female defendant’s two small children. At the time of the incident, the two boys were one and two years old. On Aug. 10, 2014, the 2-year-old was brought to the hospital for treatment of body trauma and was later
pronounced dead, prosecutors said. Law enforcement began an investigation into the child’s death and discovered the 1-year-old also had injuries to his body, prosecutors added. After a year-long examination of reports and evidence, authorities charged Aguilar and Cereceres in connection with the children’s injuries. N E W S R E L E A S E If convicted as charged, Aguilar faces a possible maximum sentence of life in state prison, while Cereceres could be in prison for up to 7 years and eight months. This domestic violence case is being investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department

Probate Notices NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF VERNA IRENE SCHEIERN aka VERNA I. SCHEIERN aka VERNA SCHEIERN Case No. MP006949
On Monday, Aug. 10 at approximately 9:27 a.m., Los Angeles Sherriff’s Department Deputies from Santa Clarita Valley Station attempted to stop a white Ford box van, driving erratically near Magic Mountain on southbound I-5 (Golden State Freeway). The deputies ran a check on the license plate which revealed the vehicle was stolen out of Lemoore, California and a pursuit ensued. The Sheriff’s Department requested California Highway Patrol assistance, and shortly after the CHP took over the pursuit. The chase continued on the southbound I-5 through multiple CHP areas at speeds up to 80 mph. The suspect driver made multiple rapid unsafe lanes changes in an attempt to evade officers. As the suspect’s vehicle approached stopped traffic at the south-
bound I-5 south of the I-10 (San Bernardino Freeway), the vehicle abruptly swerved onto a dirt shoulder. The vehicle continued on the dirt shoulder colliding into a concrete barrier wall. The force of the collision pushed the concrete wall into opposing traffic lanes of the transition road. The suspect fled from the stolen vehicle on foot across two lanes of traffic on the transition road, continuing up the dirt embankment and into a residential neighborhood of Boyle Heights. CHP officers gave chase as the suspect attempted to camouflage himself between trash cans. The suspect was subsequently taken into custody without further incident and without injuries. Cal-Trans responded to the scene to repair and move the damaged section of concrete barrier from the roadway. Officers conducted
an inventory of the stolen van and found approximately 1,650 gallons of stolen diesel fuel contained within five large marked containers, with value of over 5,000 dollars. The driver was identified as 27-year-old Jose Ramirez from Pacoima, California. He was booked into L.AP.D.’s Metropolitan Detention Center on charges ranging from evading a police officer and unlawful taking/driving of a vehicle to Grand Theft. Every single pursuit is carefully considered as conditions change. CHP officers are extensively trained to terminate each pursuit in the safest manner possible. As a Department, we constantly evaluate the risk versus gain of pursuing and apprehending a fleeing vehicle always keeping in mind the priority of public safety.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.

By Terry Miller
Several months back I received a book from publicist Kathleen Kaiser. The non-fiction piece written by a British author, Ivor Davis immediately grabbed my attention. Aside from being a huge Beatles’ fan ( who isn’t)… the author’s name rang a familiar bell in this reporter’s memory bank. I seem to recall my late father, Henry Miller talking fondly of an Ivor Davis, years ago. Could it be the same bloke? A British journalist writing about my favorite band of all time, the Beatles? I contacted the publicist, who in turn contacted Ivor and within a few minutes I was on the ‘phone to one of my dad’s journalist friends from back in the 1960’s. Neither of us could believe after all these years that a simple email could bring back so many incredible memories. Ivor Davis worked for the Daily Express and my dad for The Daily Telegraph, London. Both were transferred as foreign correspondents for their skills at their respective newspapers. Ivor arrived in 1964, literally with the Beatles and my dad (and his family, including me) arrived the following year in NY, 1965 on The Queen Mary. The two young journalists from Fleet Street were assigned to many big stories in the 1960’s including Patty Hearst; Charlie Manson Trial , Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King’s assassination among many others. The two men got to know each other well over the years and became fast friends. But for Ivor Davis, his biggest story of all time was his tour with the Beatles in 1964 – the premise for his new book: “The Beatles and Me. On Tour.” Ivor’s publicist immediately sent me a copy of the book and within two days I was reading perhaps one of the most personal and poignant books I had ever read on the Fab Four. Ivor’s sense of humour comes through with a brilliant wit and insight as he unlocks his proverbial memory bank from all those years ago to reveal the real Beatles and the madness that was Beatlemania. The book really is one
of the most engrossing pieces of non-fiction you’ll ever read about the mop tops… if ever there was a ‘page turner’ this is most certainly is it. When he gets to the second tour of America, the lads meet Elvis….I’m not going to ruin the book for you…but you’ll be undoubtedly be flabbergasted when you read the real story. The meeting of the two biggest names in music was in the works for over a year. Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis’ manager, and Brian Epstein, the Beatles manager, had met, communicated and finally came up with a day and place when the Fab Four could meet their idol, Elvis. The “Summit” as it was called, would allow no photographers or recorders. Actually no press was to attend but the Beatles brought along a writer the (NME) New Musical Express and British journalist Ivor Davis, at the time covering the Beatles American Tour for a second year. Davis was the west coast reporter for the London Daily Express. He’d spent Summer 1964 traveling and living with the Beatles during the maelstrom that was their first American tour. Now back for round two crisscrossing America, Beatles manager Epstein invited Davis to join the group as they dodged fans, sped around in limos, partied and played to the biggest crowd ever at New York’s Shea Stadium.( As an aside…yours truly, my bother Colin as well as my dad were supposed to be there for that historic gig…He had press credentials….alas my father gave away the tickets saying “ I didn’t know you boys were big fans of the Beatles…”) We didn’t talk to him for years after this declaration of guilt. Back to Elvis: What Ivor didn’t expect was walking into Elvis’ home one hot summer night with the Fab Four, their crew of 3 roadies, publicist and Epstein. August 1965 was a rough time in Los Angeles. The Watts Riots had destroyed much of South LA. Davis had been covering them 24/7, grabbing sleep when he could. Then the madness that was the Bea-
tles arrived and he was off to document their second conquering of the States.
“By 1965, I was covering major stories across the U.S. for the Daily Express,” said Davis. “When I was assigned to travel with the Beatles for a second time, I was much more prepared for what lie ahead—screaming girls, very late nights, racing around in limos and on private planes. The only good thing was the length of the tour, just two weeks instead of the long 34 days I’d traveled with them in 1964. “When Brian (Epstein) finally ironed out the details of an Elvis meeting with Colonel Parker, I had few expectations. I was called over to the Beatles rental home on St. Pierre and told that the “Summit” was on. I arrived to only learn things were on hold. Elvis wasn’t ready. We all waited, especially the boys. John and Paul were huge fans of Elvis, buying of his records as teenagers in Liverpool. Elvis was a major influence according to John.” Davis recounts the full evening, the uncomfortable first meeting, awkward silences, the eventual jam session, the gambling, and more in his recent awardwinning memoir The Beatles and Me On Tour. A lifelong journalist, Davis spins this monumental meeting for what it was—five guys trying to live in the crazy world of rock and roll. Ivor Davis’ book is on sale wherever good books are sold. If you’re a music lover and what to see what it was really like to be backstage and essentially a fly on the wall with the Beatles during the height of Beatlemania, there is none better than Davis’ The Beatles and Me. Davis’ also was the official ghost writer for George Harrison during the tour… music magazines in the UK like New Musical Express and Melody Maker and hundreds of smaller publications were eager to get first hand stories from the four lads from Liverpool…Ivor Davis had to convince a reticent Harrison to go along with the plan. Go buy this book and inwardly digest a slice of magical musical history.
