off from there.”“It’s hard to say when
my interest in photography first came about. I would say about 15 years ago was when it first caught my interest. It kind of just, incubated in me, and I started taking pho-tographs over the summers, just doing it for fun.”
“I found that I am more connected with photographs. They are an extension of what I see.”
Lieu says that he worked with visual arts, painting, and drawing before photography, but found taking photos the most intriguing.
“Photos are like babies. They have personalities of their own and represent ideas of their own,” said a quote on his exhibit.
Lieu works with a Canon Digital I D Mark III. His favorite subjects are land-scapes, urban settings, sports and wildlife. “Those are my interests. The urban setting is all around us. And I have always been an outdoors per-son. Mostly my photographs are all my memories, from different trips and such”
When asked about his life in Laos, Lieu said, “I’m really lucky where I’m at right now. There is no real opportu-nity over there, for anything. Business is not happening, it is very rural. So I am very fortunate and happy.”
At his exhibition were Lieu’s family and friends, in-cluding his parents, brother, sister-in-law, and aunt. Many turned out for the opening night, to enjoy Lieu’s photo-graphic work and a glass of wine. Featured in the display were a variety of Lieu’s pho-tographs, which included pic-tures of nature; birds, trees, and beaches, as well as urban settings, from modern build-ings to French alleyways.
“My photographs are of places where I have mostly traveled in the past. I have shot in France, including Paris, St. Malo, and Chablis. I have some pictures here from Hawaii, but most of my work is done locally, sometimes near the Bay Area or the Central Coast.”
I also had the chance to speak with Deanne Sciar-rotta, long time friend and colleague of Savay’s.
“Bel ieve it or not , I was a substitute teacher for Savay when I first met him. I’ve known him for the past 6 years now. I’m a guid-ance counselor at the high school.”
When asked how it all started, Sciarrotta went into detail about this year’s Tem-ple City High School senior class trip to Yosemite.
“This year, Savay and I were the chaperons for the trip. It’s a week trip north to Yosemite with the seniors,
Temple City Teacher Featured in Photo Exhibitand the two instructors who had been going on the trip weren’t any more. So we went up there. He took his camera with him and I noticed he took many pictures. Now coming back from Yosemite, gas prices had almost dou-bled, and we were like $500 short! So we thought about what we could do to raise the money. But we wanted some-thing different, you know other than the usually sugary stuff. We didn’t want to sell things that you don’t want. And then I remembered his photographs. He had a lot of the students, and of Yosemite. So we decided to try it out. We put some of the photos up on the walls, and began selling them for discount to some of the teachers, and soon enough more people were interested, and his pho-tos became popular amongst the parents.”
“One day we had come here (Heritage Wine Com-pany), to have a drink, and I noticed some surf boards on the wall, I’m a surfer, and I had an idea. I went and asked the girl behind the counter about the display and she said they had an artist of the month. I told her about Savay, and one day they contacted us and said they wanted to feature his photographs. It was very exciting.”
When asked about Lieu, Sciarrotta said, “He’s very tal-ented, and very humble. He’s not the one to go tell anyone about what he’s doing. That’s why I’m here!” she added lightheartedly.
“He’s a good mentor for a lot of young men, and very respected.”
“His photographs are es-pecially unique. He has a way of looking at things that you would typically look at. What he leaves behind after he sees something is amazing.”
“If I could descr ibe Savay and his work, it would be that he is ‘a silent artist with a memorable voice,’” a quote from the display.
Heritage Wine Com-pany, which is hosting Mr. Lieu’s exhibit, is Pasadena’s premier wine bar located in historic Old Town Pasadena. Established in 2002 and now under new ownership, the Pasadena wine shop features a vivid array of varietals from around the world and a com-fortably stylish tasting bar.
All of Lieu’s work is on sale, both at the Pasadena Heritage Wine Company during the month of July, and online at savayonline.com.
Lieu would like to thank Heritage Wine Company for recognizing his work and fea-turing it. When asked about future endeavors he quietly and thoughtfully replies, “the future is a mystery…as it should be.” -Photos By Kyle Khandikian

The Great Tomatoes Race … was just a matter of honor, pride and great achievement for me. I never intended for it to grow into a “dog eat dog” neighborhood competition!
My neighborhood is surely a great cross section of Americana. We all have about the same value houses, cars, wives, etc. Neighbor-hood pride is a top priority for most of us, the worker bees, the tired and the retired.
However, when it comes to pride in flowers, gardens and landscaping we begin to separate the Weekend Weed-ers from the full time horti-culturists. I was identified, for a long time, as the prize Weekend
Weeder on the block. I took a lot of heat for my tidy but bland yard, sickly flow-ers and overgrown shrubs and my no desire to do any gardening. You might say … I have happily been on the dole enjoying the neighbors exquisite f lowers, gracious donations of fruits and veg-etables for many years, always offering flimsy “excuses” and “maybe next year” promises.
Well my best neighbor and soon to become my for-mer over-the-fence friend Ed, decided to take up my threat of “This year I’m going to raise tomatoes plants.” Well Ed’s recognition of my astute-ness for exaggeration decided to pin me to the dirt…right there in front of
my other, Over-The-Fence neighbor. “When Wal-ly” … questioned Ed. Those were two very demanding words requiring a gracious defense. My wife’s snicker encouraged Ed, to offer an
The Great Tomatoes Raceeven larger challenge. Well, Pat, are you going to spade up the back yard?
Now tha t comment wasn’t necessary nor was it funny. Here I am a very busy businessman just trying to get along in the neighborhood and now I am challenged to dig a bigger hole for myself to get out of! The following irritated response suggested that I might be interested in a “tomatoes growing” competi-tion. “Now let me tell you guys this”, I said, “my dad and I had the largest tomatoes in the entire neighborhood, when I was a kid.” Quickly pulling at my arm, Pat chortled, I hear the phone dear, and it’s prob-ably for you. Ignoring this gracious face saving opportu-nity to get out of the contest, my last volley of words did it. “Well Ed, I guess the race is on”…confirmed that the great “Tomatoes Race” was now to officially begin.
Wow, how can planting ten pitiful looking tomatoes plants be so much work, so tir-ing and so expensive. Hiring a handyman to spade up the planting area, plant, fertilize and fence the growing area at a cost of $250. was not a bargain. My calculations indicated that it would take 50 pounds of tomatoes at $5 dollars per pound to hardly break even.
To the best of my knowl-edge I was first to plant the dumb things. “Now Honey”, I said, “in 70 days we will har-vest the winners.” “Oh, No”…Pat replied, “we must water them each evening and talk to them daily.” I told her then she better pray over those Beasts. Her cutesy remark, “they are not Beasts Honey, they are
Beefs”. This also was a very irritating.
As the race progressed my neighbor Ed’s “know ev-erything about
Growing and Planting quickly surfaced. His vines looked like Jack and the Beanstock plants compared to mine. But shortly there-after, the little green balls appeared on my plants first and now my bragging was in full bloom. “Hey Ed”… “Where is your tomatoes? Your plants look like weed vines.” The hurtful remarks that I said to him quieted our friendship for weeks.
Then one night I was awakened by my wife asking if I had left the yard lights on…I got up to see what was going on and I couldn’t be-lieve what I saw. There was my so-called friend, cheat-ing by holding a sunlamp on his tomatoes plants.
My harvesting the win-ning tomatoes shortly there-after had little meaning to me and my bragging rights were really dulled. That is until my neighbor came to the fence and exclaimed that I had been very quiet lately. That he was truly very happy that I won the Tomatoes Race challenge inspite of what he did. I looked at him angrily and waited for his confession. But when he broke the si-lence and melted my anger by explaining that he had used a Sun Lamp on his tomatoes plants to dry and retard their growth. He did this just because he wanted me to “Win the Race” as he is so fortunate to have such a nice neighbor, friend and good sport. Gulp!

Okay, so I’m not refer-ring to the Friends of the Piazza or even all my corpo-rate WF Stagecoach buds.
On the surface, I’m just referencing my vocal “Friends in Low Places” on stage Vegas tribute to good friend Garth Brooks. And you can’t imagine a more appropriate setting and re-ceptive demographic than a bunch of dentists in Sin City. Especially when I turn loose what the late Luciano Pavorotti and I like to call our “instrument.”
Last week I attended the Invisalign Summit at the beautiful Palazzo in Las Ve-gas. The theme was “Seize the Day” and even though “Make ‘em an offer they can’t refuse” seemed more fitting, Carpe Diem worked just fine for this assembly of friends in high places.
Like I’ve shared before, I’m a huge fan of Invisalign; see it as the most exciting
FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES OR PFIM
innovation out of dentistry since Dental Disco Days (and no, I’m not blaming dentistry for Disco.)
Inv isa l ign basica l ly straightens teeth without the use of metal orthodontic braces. The approach no-tably allows realignment of teeth without hygiene com-promises, serving some folks who wouldn’t or shouldn’t go the tradit ional route. These days, Invisalign works for about 80% of prospec-tive orthodontic patients. And this year, Invisalign celebrated its one-millionth case (www.Invisalign.com receives more than 200,000 visits per month.)
So attending the Sum-mit was an awesome oppor-tunity to learn from the best and aside from my budding Karaoke career, nothing floats my boat like listening and growing.
And my next Facebook best friend in high places is
Dr. David Ostreicher from Levittown, New York (he doesn’t know yet.) Ostre-icher has more energy than a Chihuahua on speed and he’s way funnier. Even re-minds me of my Uncle John-nie when calls crooked teeth “cock-eyed.” My next install-ment here will have more to say about cock-eyed teeth and general health issues.
Doc Ostreicher is about as smart as they come and generously shares a highly developed sense of humor. Don’t know about you guys, but my research buddies and me believe you actually retain info more effectively when you’re having fun. And maybe that’s why my brain was absorbing Doc O’s presentation the way it used to before Bolton hit the airwaves. I ask you, who have you heard use a Komodo dragon as the metaphor of choice express-ing the relationship of peri-
odontal disease and systemic disease?
Doc O even touched on a subject I’ve presented here. I wrote about using “periodontal disease” as opposed to silly sounding “gum” disease. Doc thinks periodontal disease sounds silly too; doesn’t sound scary enough. Like, heart attack and cancer sound scary and they don’t need “disease” on the end to confirm it.
Doc thinks acronyms like AIDS, FHD, and STD are scary too. “Back in The Day, ADD just meant wacky kids.”
So one night Doc O woke up turned to his pad and pencil and wrote out “Putrefying, festering in-fection in the mouth” or PFIM.
Sounds scary enough to me.
And you can get it from cock-eyed teeth.
Stay tuned.

CITY MANAGER’S WEEKLY REPORT For the Week Ending Noon on Thursday July 16, 2009
Cathy Burroughs, Interim City Manager
TEMPLE CITYGeneral Council Information
1. Rainbow Yeung from the AQMD has provided information on a GreenTech Connect Forum & Expo which will be held August 3-4, 2009 at the Pasadena Convention Center. Please let Management Services know if you would like to attend so she can process the registration.
2. Bryan Ariizumi, Adam Gulick and I met with representatives from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority to discuss a countywide congestion mitigation fee program. The San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) initiated a pilot study to demonstrate how a congestion mitigation fee program would be implemented. As part of the pi-lot study, MTA is meeting with agencies in the San Gabriel Valley to confirm information and to identify local projects.
After meeting with MTA, staff will request two additional streets within the City be in-cluded on their Preliminary Regional Transportation Network. This document is used as the basis for project eligibility. Staff will request Temple City Boulevard and Lower Azusa Road be added to the document.
I have placed a copy of the Congestion Mitigation Fee Feasibility Study Report in the Council’s office for your review. A summary of study is included with your packet.
3. The Parks and Recreation Commission will be forwarding a recommendation to the City Council regarding the City’s 50th anniversary. The Commission would like to take the lead in planning activities, events, and programs to celebrate the City’s 50th anniversary next year. The Commission would work with staff and other community members over the next several months to develop ideas for the celebration.
All five Commissioners are very interested and excited about the project. The Commission was advised that if they are all involved, all discussions must be held at noticed meetings and open to the public. I support the Commission’s recommendation as the members of the Parks and Rec-reation Commission have a great deal of experience among themselves, and they would greatly assist staff in planning and organizing the community activities and functions. With the additional duties I have taken on, I haven’t had the time to begin planning for the 50th anniversary and time is running short.
The Commission’s recommendation will be on the Council’s August 4th agenda for your consideration.
Administration
1. Staff has confirmed interviews with Bob Murray and Associates for July 30th. Mr. Mur-ray will meet with each Council member individually to discuss the current issues, challenges, and opportunities facing the City and the expectations for the new City Manager. He will then meet with the Council as a body at 7 p.m.
2. The deadline for applications for the new part-time Parking Control Officer positions was last Thursday, July 9th. Over 70 applications were received. Staff is in the process of reviewing the applications. We expect to conduct oral interviews before the end of the month.
3. Oral interviews for the Public Services Manager position have been scheduled. We had a very strong candidate pool for this position and are very optimistic. Although the Council initially indicated the position would remain vacant until a new City Manager was hired, I am concerned that we may lose some of the very qualified candidates if we don’t move ahead. Additionally, the City has several large CIP projects on the book, some of which should be going out to bid soon. If the oral interviews result in 2-3 excellent candidates, and if it appears that a new City Manager will not be on board within the next month or so, I would request the City Council allow me to hire the new Public Services Manager.
Community Redevelopment Agency
1. Robert Paz from Avant Garde will be providing an update on the expansion of the Re-developing Area at the next Council meeting. See Joe Lambert’s comments below.
The indicated writers have submitted the following items. All have been reviewed and ap-proved (but may have been edited) by the City Manager.
Department of the City Clerk (City Clerk Flandrick)
1. The City Council recently made appointments to fill one vacancy on the Parks and Recre-ation Commission and three vacancies on the Planning Commission. Peggy Miller was appointed to the Parks and Recreation Commission, and Ed Chen, Patrick Horton and Manuel Valenzuela were appointed to the Planning Commission. Both Commissions will be reorganizing this month to select a Chairman and Vice Chairman.
The full Commissions now consist of the following members:
Parks and Recreation Planning Commission
Dan Arrighi Ed ChenNanette Fish Patrick HortonChristopher Goad Tom O’LearyAndrea Olivas Jerry SeibertPeggy Miller Manuel A. Valenzuela III
Department of Management Services (Assistant to the City Manager Flod)
1. The City has received its draft 2008 Annual Report to the California Integrated Waste Management Board from the City’s consultant. The preliminary trash diversion rate (i.e. recycling rate) of Temple City for calendar year 2008 is about 66%, which means a full two-thirds of all the trash generated in Temple City is recycled! This is quite an accomplishment, and largely attributed to the use and efficiency of the Athens Material Recycling Facility (MRF).
Department of Parks & Recreation (Dir. of Parks & Recreation Director Bur-roughs)
1. The Performing Arts Pavilion has been reserved for a wedding ceremony on Saturday, July 18 from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Staff has been assigned in support of the function.
2. Tickets are selling fast for this year’s Dining Under the Stars “Hollywood Nights”. We are thrilled to have 15 food establishments represented this year. New additions include Alex DiPeppe’s Italian Restaurant and Edible Arrangements. Don’t forget to request any additional tickets you might need from Debbie as soon as possible.
3. The first of three Movies in the Park will be shown this Friday at Live Oak Park. “The Jungle Book” will be shown beginning at 8 p.m. on a giant screen south of the Community Cen-ter.
4. Construction continues on the new multipurpose/office facility at Live Oak Park. This week the contractor is trenching for the conduit that will connect the new building with the Com-munity Center. The conduit will be for such items as computer networking, security systems, phone systems, etc. Due to the trenching, which runs through the parking lot, access to the Community Center has been difficult. During the first few days the only access to the Community Center was from the south. We have requested the contractor open up at least one area of the sidewalk to al-low access directly from the Bogue Street parking lot into the building.
Department of Community Development (Community Development Manager Lambert)
Avant Garde will be making a presentation at the July 21st City Council meeting, they are scheduled on the CRA Agenda. Avant Garde will provide the Agency members with an update of their activities including a preliminary review, and a schedule for final recommendations regard-ing a potential expansion of the Community Redevelopment Agency Project Area. They will also present the status of the economic development activities performed and present economic devel-opment recommendations for the future.
2. Tenant improvement plans for Super A Foods at 5595 Rosemead Boulevard were submit-ted for Building Plan check on Tuesday, July 14. This is the site of the former Albertsons grocery store. Super A Foods hopes to be open by late autumn for the coming holiday seasons.
3. The Planning Commission meeting of July 14 was cancelled due to a lack of scheduled public hearings for that date. The next Planning Commission meeting is scheduled for July 28, 2009. I would like to welcome our new Planning Commissioners: Ed Chen, Patrick Horton, and Manuel A. Valenzuela III.
Department of Financial Services (Financial Services Manager Molina)
The Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office Annual Report has been released and unfortunately, Temple City was not among the top ten cities with the greatest magnitude of change in assessed valuation. Out of the 88 Los Angeles County Cities listed, 43 of them reported a negative percent change in assessed valuation. Temple City had a positive change of 1.3%. The annual report will be in the Council office for your review.
Now that we have completed fiscal year 2008-2009, the finance department is working at com-pleting all the work necessary for the annual audit. Auditors from Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. will start their on-site audit on September 8, 2009, and are usually here for about two to three weeks.
Auditing Standards No. 114 recommend that the auditors make the Council aware of the risks that are addressed by the audit process. Included in your packet is a letter from Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. in regards to this auditing standard.
Department of Public Services (Public Safety Offi cer Ariizumi)
1. Our storm water consultant, John Hunter and Associates, will be in Temple City the last week of July conducting a Daily Generation Rate Study. Basically, they will be collecting litter along pre-designated streets to ensure the City is in compliance with the Trash Total Maximum Daily Levels (TMDL). After the trash is collected, it will be sorted then disposed of at the City Yard.
Division of Public Safety
The rabies clinic held last Friday was a huge success. Dr. Pavlik and Dr. Matevosyan from Community Companion Animal Hospital vaccinated approximately 387 dogs and one cat, and staff issued 187 dog licenses. Thank you to Councilmember Cynthia Sternquist, P & R Commis-sioner Dan Arrighi, and all staff who helped make the event a success.
The San Gabriel Valley Animal Joint Powers Authority-Executive Board met on Wednesday. During the meeting, the JPA Executive Board and the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society signed the agreement for animal control services. The agreement will be on the August 4th City Council agenda for City Council approval.

WHBQ-TV in Memphis, as the host of Mars Patrol, a sci-ence-fiction themed children's television program. It was at his tenure with WHBQ that Martindale became the host of the TV show Teenage Dance Party where his friend Elvis Presley made an appearance. Following Presley's death in 1977, Martindale aired a na-tionwide tribute radio special in his honor. Martindale has hosted numerous game shows, including What's This Song?, Gambit, Headline Chasers, High Rollers, The Last Word, Great Getaway Game, Trivial Pursuit, Shuffle, Boggle, Jum-ble, Debt, and most famously Tic-Tac-Dough. In addition, he was the creator of Bumper Stumpers. As of today, he is the second television person-ality to have hosted 15 game shows, behind fellow veteran game show host, Bill Cullen, who had hosted 23.
After the speeches and accolades from numerous state and local official repre-
sentatives including a personal appearance from State As-semblyman Anthony Portan-tino, guests were invited in for birthday cake and a world class barbeque at the hands of Lee Shimmin, wearing his trademark cowboy hat. Shim-min was Chamber President in the year 2000.
The smoke filled pit at the Chamber added to the festive atmosphere on an exception-
ally warm summer evening. As Lee Shimmin and his able assistants grilled up hamburg-ers and hot dogs, the line grew forever long as word of the mouthwatering BBQ spread as quickly as the charbroiled smoke.
Executive Director Beth Costanza and her staff did an exceptional job keeping the wine glasses filled and the party going strong.

Last week Beacon Me-dia News printed the story of musician and single dad Jake Lenaburg who was mugged on his way to an ATM to make a deposit. Not only was his money stolen, but the muggers also destroyed his guitar, an action that was particularly hurtful as he was supporting himself and his 5 year old daughter as a street musician while he worked his way through nursing school.
Shortly after the story appeared, one of our readers contacted a staff member to ask if anyone had yet donated a guitar to the struggling mu-sician. No one yet had, but with the promise of anonym-ity, the caller said he and his wife had a guitar they wanted to give the young man.
By Friday morning of last week, the guitar was in this newspaper’s Monrovia office

and its amazed recipient was hurrying to the office. Im-mediately upon being handed the beautifully hand-made Aria instrument, he sat down and began tuning it. Shortly thereafter sweet cords were sounding through the office.
Lenaburg’s comment was a repeated “Thank them from the bottom of my heart,” addressed to the anonymous donors.
A visibly moved Lenab-urg left the office with his new classical guitar and a huge smile on his face.
The story, however, didn’t stop there. Our illustri-ous editor, also who happens to be quite the guitar player, noted that as a street musi-cian a classical guitar was good but a steel string would be the best for his particular individual’s needs.
On Monday, an email appeared in the editor’s in box. It was an offer of yet
another guitar for Jake, this time a steel string.
Our diligent editor re-plied back to this potential donor (who also wishes to remain anonymous) and thanked him for the mag-nificent and charitable offer but said a classical guitar had already been donated. E mails were exchanged and the donor insisted on giving Jake this guitar even though he already had received one from another very generous reader. He noted that with his donation, perhaps Jake could teach his daughter to play guitar and they two of them could duet.
By Wednesday morning, t his guitar complete with a hard case appeared at our of-fice for Jake. This was a steel string acoustic electric made by Fender.

TEMPLECITYTRIBUNE.COMMake Your Voice Heard.
As a note broker, I’ve had my share of notes that I simply couldn’t do anything with. Here’s one I was presented with recently:
A delinquent seller carry back note secured by com-mercial property in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The seller/note holder had received payments like clockwork for 2.5 years, and then, the
tenant of the 3,000 sqft warehouse started defaulting on his lease. In the interim, the property buyer/owner had lost her job, so she had no way of making the payments on the note.
The note holder no longer lives in Florida, she lives in Southern California. This was a headache she just wanted out of . . . if she could get at least 50% of the loan balance.
Most commercial prop-erty is heading toward a world of hurt. Even assuming that once the defaulting tenant was evicted, another tenant paying $3,000 a month could quickly be placed, the maximum value of the property at a 12 cap was something like $300,000.
So, I told the note holder that she would be very lucky to get 50% of the value of the property, or $150,000, and asked if she still wanted me to keep working on finding a buyer. She said ‘yes.’
I sent the note profile out to several buyers, and got virtually no response. No one wanted a commercial note in Florida that was in default.
So, I decided to give up . . . NOT.
I started thinking about other ways that the problem could be solved. If the seller
would be willing to put the property on the market and sell, I could negotiate a short sale on behalf of my client, the note holder, and she would walk away with more than she could possibly hope for on the secondary trust deed market.
So, I posted a referral on Active Rain (a social network-ing site for real estate profes-sionals). I communicated with 3 or 4 agents in West Palm Beach, and told them about the situation. As it turned out, one of them happened to know the owner personally.
They went to their friend about putting the property on the market, with a guaranteed short sale approval that would leave some money on the table for her. Nope . . . she wouldn’t do it. Somehow, without per-sonal or rental income, she was going to find a way to keep the property. Hmmm.
OK, let’s go with the flow . . . what if I could find a pri-vate lender that would give the owner a hard money loan? Then I would simply negotiate
a short refinance (say around $150,000?), and still get my client what she wanted, leav-ing the owner in possession of her precious commercial property.
I don’t have the final word on this deal yet . . . I’m still wait-ing for the story to play out, but it’s fun to realize how many different ways there can be to create a solution. Note brokers and real estate brokers can of-ten help each other out.

Many parents who work or are looking for work must arrange for care of their chil-dren under 13 years of age during the school vacation.
Here are five facts the IRS wants you to know about a tax credit available for child care expenses. The Child and Dependent Care Credit is available for ex-penses incurred during the lazy hazy days of summer and throughout the rest of the year.
The cost of day camp can count as an expense towards the child and de-pendent care credit.
Expenses for overnight camps do not qualify.
Summertime Tax Tip 2009-03If your childcare pro-
vider is a sitter at your home or a daycare facility outside the home, you’ll get some tax benefit if you qualify for the credit.
The actual credit can be up to 35 percent of your qual-ifying expenses, depending upon your income.
You may use up to $3,000 of the unreimbursed expenses paid in a year for one qualifying individual or $6,000 for two or more qualifying individuals to figure the credit.
For more information, including rules for claiming this credit for your spouse or a dependent age 13 or
over who is not able to care for himself or herself, check out IRS Publication 503, Child and Dependent Care Expenses. This publication is available on the IRS Web site, IRS.gov.

Five Tax Facts about Summertime Child Care Expenses
had donated yet another beautiful musical instrument, Lenaburg rushed to the of-fice and when he saw the Fender he said: “I’m blown away; wow….I can’t believe how generous your readers are. Thank You! Thank You, from the bottom of my heart. My palms are sweating…this is incredible!”
Lenaburg plans on writ-ing a song and a letter of thanks to all who reached out and helped a fellow human being during a difficult time.
Words sometimes are
Jake and his daughter Vivinity.
inadequate to express such emotions and seeing Jake Leanburg’s sprit soar after receiving these generous gifts, this endowment of music has obviously restored his faith in humanity.
In this tight economy, Lenaburg is hoping to do something with his school career and really make a dif-ference and help people. The nursing student, who hopes to finish in about a year, can once again concentrate on making a better life for his 5 year old daughter Vivinity.

ARCADIA For the period of Sunday, June 28, through Satur-
day, July 4, the Police Department responded to 943 calls for service of which 142 required formal investigations. The following is a summary report of the major incidents handled by the Department during this period.
Sunday, June 28:Around 2:35 a.m., a car with two flat tires
was seen at Lynrose and Tyler and a traffic stop was initiated. The female driver indicated that she had hit a curb earlier, and officers detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage on her breath and person. A field sobriety test was conducted, and it was determined that the 35-year-old His-panic was operating the vehicle while under the influence and was taken into custody.
Units responded to the 800 block of Fairview around 11:00 a.m. in reference to a de-ceased person. A 59-year-old woman appeared to have committed suicide by overdosing on prescription medication, and a note was found at the residence.
Monday, June 29:Between 5:30 p.m. on June 28 and 7:12 p.m.
on June 29, an auto burglary occurred at 160 El Dorado. Unknown suspect(s) broke a car win-dow in order to retrieve a purse.
A residential burglary occurred between 6:40 a.m. on June 22 and 8:15 p.m. on June 29 in the 2500 block of Florence. Unknown suspect(s) pried open a rear sliding glass door to make entry. Once inside, the suspect(s) ransacked rooms and fled with an unknown amount of property.
Tuesday, June 30:Units responded to a business in the 12300
block of Lower Azusa in reference to a com-mercial burglary. Unknown suspect(s) entered the building by removing a window pane by unknown means. The suspect(s) then ransacked an office and stole computer equipment.
Between 7:00 a.m. and 9:20 p.m., a residen-tial burglary occurred in the 700 block of Arca-dia. Unknown suspect(s) broke a rear door of the residence, ransacked rooms, and stole a large amount of jewelry, cash, and traveler’s checks.
Wednesday, July 1:Around 12:25 p.m., a victim came to the
station to file a fraud report. The victim checked his bank account online and discovered an un-authorized $900 transaction to JC Penney. It appeared that unknown suspect(s) had obtained the victim’s personal information and created a fake check in order to make payment.
A traffic stop was conducted in the 00 block of East Colorado around 2:40 p.m. for code viola-tions. A 35-year-old male Hispanic driver was contacted and investigation revealed that he had a suspended driver’s license and 3 outstanding misdemeanor warrants. The man was arrested and a handgun was later discovered inside his vehicle. The driver admitted to stealing the handgun, and he was charged with grand theft,
carry concealed weapon in vehicle, suspended driver’s license, and outstanding warrants.
Thursday, July 2:Around 2:15 a.m., officers were dispatched
to Lounge 1020, located at 1020 South Baldwin, regarding an assault with a deadly weapon. The victim advised that he was involved in an argu-ment with a male African-American bouncer, and the bouncer later struck him in the head with a metal object. The suspect fled the scene right after the attack.
A 33-year-old male Asian was arrested for battery on a cohabitant in the 2800 block of Win-throp around 9:53 p.m. During an argument, the husband struck his wife in the face.
Friday, July 3:Shortly after 8:30 a.m., units were called to
the 200 block of West Norman in reference to a fraud report. The victim advised that on July 1, a bank employee called and advised that a female African-American in Nevada was trying to cash a $6,500 check from his account. He was able to put a stop payment on the check so the suspect did not receive any cash. Later in the day, the victim went to his bank and discovered that several checks, totaling $17,800, were cashed without his permission.
Around 9:48 a.m., while on routine patrol, officers located a vehicle with a warrant attached to the license plate. A traffic stop was conducted at Huntington and Cortez and a 66-year-old male Caucasian was arrested for unlicensed driver, no proof of insurance, and a $30,000 outstanding misdemeanor warrant.

around 6:29 p.m. in reference to an assault with a deadly weapon. Investigation revealed that a male suspect threatened a co-worker and a secu-rity guard with a pitchfork. A private person’s arrest was made, and a 25-year-old Hispanic was taken into custody without incident.
Between 8:00 p.m. and 11:32 p.m., a 2004 Chevy Classic LP was stolen from the 1100 block of Sunset. The following day, the victim’s step-brother, an 18-year-old African-American, was arrested in San Gabriel for vehicle theft, and the car was subsequently recovered.
MONROVIA During the last seven day period, the Police De-
partment handled 580 service events, resulting in 106 investigations. Following are the last week’s highlighted issues and events:
Mental Evaluation On July 4 at 2:21 a.m., a male subject en-
tered the Monrovia Police Department station lobby. An officer walking by observed the sub-ject pressing up against the glass window.
When the subject backed away, he dis-played a very large kitchen knife and held it over his head. He was yelling loudly. Officers in the field responded to the station and contained the front lobby area. They were able to calm the subject and convinced him to put the knife down. The subject was detained and began making paranoid and delusional statements. He was transported to a mental health facility for evaluation.
Commercial Burglary /
Foot Pursuit. On the evening of July 4, an officer on
patrol observed three male juveniles running north through a business parking lot in the 100 block of West Foothill. Two of the subjects were carrying merchandise from the store. When the officer yelled at them to stop, they dropped the merchandise and fled. The officer broadcast the description of the suspects and pursued them on foot. Patrol units and the Foothill Air Support Team helicopter responded, but they were not able to locate the suspects. The special enforce-ment team officers reviewed the video from the store to get a better description of the suspects. They patrolled the area and located the three male suspects walking south on Mountain. They were detained. The officer who saw them run-ning from the store positively identified them as the same suspects. The two suspects who carried the stolen merchandise out of the store had prior arrest history and were charged with burglary and taken to Eastlake Juvenile Hall. The third subject, who was not carrying merchandise out of the store, was charged with resisting and delaying an officer. He was later released to his father with a citation.
Water Problem On July 4 at 8:48 a.m., officers were dis-
patched to the area of Fifth and Colorado regard-ing a large amount of water flowing. Officers arrived and tracked the water to a residence in the 400 block of South Fifth. Public works was notified and responded to turn the water off to the residence.
Assault On July 6 at 7:32 p.m., officers responded
to the 1700 block of South Mayflower regarding two female adults fighting. As officers arrived, they saw a white truck leaving the area north-bound on Mayflower and stopped it. There were two females in the truck and they admitted to being involved in a fight. Another female subject was located in front of the apartment building where the fight had occurred, and had what ap-peared to be a stab wound to her shoulder. All parties and the truck were searched, but no knife or cutting instrument was found. The statements from all parties involved were inconsistent. In-vestigation continuing.
Attempted Murder. On July 7 at 8:46 a.m., a car pulled onto
Lime Avenue in front of the Monrovia Police Department with a female victim who had been stabbed eleven times by her husband. Officers rendered first aid until Monrovia Fire Depart-ment paramedics arrived to care for the victim, who was then taken to a hospital for treatment. Officers were dispatched to the suspect’s house, where they searched the house for the suspect, then located and preserved the crime scene. An-other officer responded to the hospital with the victim and her son. Investigation continuing.
Burglary in Progress. On July 8 at 7:20 a.m., officers responded to
the 300 block of West Huntington regarding a vehicle burglary that just occurred in the parking lot. The suspect left prior to the officers arriving on scene. While the officers were responding, the reporting party provided dispatch with the suspect’s vehicle description and direction of travel. While responding to the call an officer located the suspect vehicle and performed a traffic stop. An officer had the witness do a field-show up and the suspect was positively identified. The suspect was arrested and booked on various charges including burglary and petty
theft with a prior.
