Upland: Former Defender Sentenced to One Year

STAFF REPORTS

Upland – An Upland attorney was sentenced this week to one year and one day in federal prison for stealing $129,795 from the Social Security Administration (SSA) after her grandmother died in 2000.

Audrey Owens, 61, was a deputy public defender for Riverside County, retiring just last September. She pled guilty in March to two counts of theft of government property, admitting that she swindled the government for 12 years. On Mon., June 2, Owens was sentenced by United States District Judge, Virginia A. Phillips.

According to court documents, from June 2000 through August 2012, Owens fraudulently obtained Social Security benefits intended for her grandmother, who died in May 2000. After her grandmother’s death, Owens changed the address of a joint account she shared with her grandmother and continued to receive the dead woman’s payments.

Owens “devised and executed a plan to illicitly obtain significant amounts of SSA benefits intended for her deceased grandmother,” prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memo filed with the court. “Indeed, within just one week of her grandmother’s death, [Owens] sprang her plan into action by immediately removing her father’s name off of the [grandmother’s] Kansas City account and changing the address of record to her own address in Upland. This allowed her to continue to receive SSA benefits, undetected, for over 12 years, totaling more than $129,000. She was only stopped when SSA began to suspect fraud – otherwise, the theft would have likely continued indefinitely and resulted in even greater losses.”

The investigation in this case was conducted by the Social Security Administration, Office of the Inspector General, Office of Investigations.

STAFF REPORTS

Eastvale – A warm, welcoming attitude, along with a passion for helping and connecting with patients is what separates Dr. Dan Vasile at DV Urgent Care from the rest.

Vasile owns and operates five Inland Empire Urgent Care Facilities, including the DV Urgent Care & Occupational Health in Eastvale, and Skin Envy Med Spa & Weight Loss in Rancho Cucamonga.

“Being a doctor was my calling since childhood,” says Vasile. “It takes painstaking determination and long hours to be an effective doctor. Each and every day I’m surrounded with people from all walks of life and through medicine, I’m able to touch their lives in a way that others can’t.”

DV Urgent Care offers treatments for a wide range of symptoms and ailments for both urgent care and walk-in patients. Facilities treat ailments from fevers, colds and flu, to burns, cuts and scrapes, to breaks and sprains – and everything in between. There is also a focus on women’s health issues and minor surgeries.

“Our patient’s well-being always comes first,” says Vasile. “Our mission is to provide unilateral care and treatment to the communities we serve. Our five urgent care clinics are staffed with highly trained medical professionals who are ready to serve you. We are always ready to offer you first class service when you need it the most,” he added.

One of the major concerns facing people today is the high cost of medical treatment and that is of deep concern to Vasile.

“At all of our urgent care clinics, we truly believe that money should not be a deciding factor when it comes to getting the medical treatment you need. We offer very competitive pricing and will work with you to get you the treatment you deserve at a price you can afford,” says Vasile.

Vasile also operates Skin Envy Med Spa & Weight Loss, which offers monthly discounts on services such as laser hair removal, Botox, microdermabrasion and weight loss treatment. Other treatments include a wrinkle therapy, liquid face lift, skin tightening, facials and chemical peels.

All of the DV Urgent Care clinics treat patients from children to the elderly and all patients are welcome on a walk-in basis.

Walnut Council Corner 05.28.14

BY RAYMOND MENDOZA

Walnut – Walnut City Council members met Wed., May 28 for their final meeting of the month, which sparked heated discussion about the parking situation at Mount San Antonio College from nearby residents.
The meeting began when City Council members awarded residents Mary Lee Saint John and Vic Saint John for their active membership in the Walnut Walkers club, which promotes healthy activity from senior citizens in the city. Mayor Tony Cartagena thanked the two for their work with the club and helping with its growth, outgoing spirit, and healthy attitude.
“Every Sunday night, Mary Lee makes individual phone calls to every walker on the list, reminding and encouraging them to show up,” Cartagena said. “Because of her commitment, the Walnut Walkers are currently an active and energetic group with about 40 members to promote exercise and staying healthy.”
After the award presentation, the City Council approved the May 14 meeting minutes and Resolution No. 14-25 for the City of Walnut allowing certain claims and demands in the amount of $1,117,762.36.
The council then began its discussion of the parking structure construction at Mt. SAC, with a staff report from City Attorney, Mike Montgomery.
Public outcry for a Council discussion has been ongoing for several months, with residents complaining about the lack of parking at the community college and students parking in nearby neighborhoods.
“It’s parking has overflowed in the community through the years, as a result of probably outgrowing its original capacity,” Montgomery said.
Montgomery noted that Measure RR was approved in November 2008 for the $350 million bond issued to make improvements to the campus, which included a parking structure for more than 200 spaces. He said that cities have minimal authority for structures established in community college campuses. Montgomery also said that after years of planning and tests, the campus is entering its final stages before construction starts in 2015.
Residents then had the chance to ask questions pertaining to the progress of construction on the parking structure. Residents also questioned the limits of capacity at Mt SAC, stating that the population of the school has become so large that its facilities are no longer able to support the number of students.
Complaints from Walnut residents filled the council chamber pertaining to noise pollution, actual pollution, overcrowding, and unsafe traffic hazards caused by students.
With all the concerns of the residents, Cartagena then appointed Bob Pacheco and Mayor Pro Tem Nancy Tragarz to meet with the administration from Mt. SAC sometime in June to discuss matters pertaining to resolving overcrowding issues.
City Council officially adjourned at 8:45 p.m., with plans to hold its next meeting on June 11 at 7 p.m. in the City Council chambers, located at 21201 La Puente Road.

Eastvale: Got Walmart?

BY K.P. SANDER

Eastvale – Talk of a Walmart coming to Eastvale has been around the town for quite some time. The property at the southeast corner of Archibald and Limonite is the destination of the project, which is still in the preliminary planning phase, as in, can this really happen?

According to the City of Eastvale’s Public Information Officer, Michele Nissen, Walmart is still a go. The popular retailer is currently in negotiations with Southern California Edison over a 66KV line that sits on Archibald Avenue. Apparently SCE wants Walmart to relocate the line when the road is widened, but Walmart is not keen on spending the $1 million to get it done. Once an agreement has been reached in this regard, the actual planning stage can begin. It could be a year before it comes before Eastvale’s Planning Commission.

According to their website, Walmart operates nearly 11,000 stores in 27 countries, including 282 retail establishments in California. They employ 2.2 million employees, or associates, worldwide, and expect fiscal year 2014 sales of approximately $473 billion. Their mission is to help people around the world save money and live better, and try to keep integrity as the cornerstone of their operations from retail transactions to community giving and global responsibility. But Market Watch (Wall Street Journal) has recently noted that the company has reported five straight quarters of declining same-store sales in the U.S., with Sam’s Club sales dropping for two straight quarters. Should we be concerned?

As if this weren’t enough, CNNMoney recently reported that the National Labor Relations Board challenges that Walmart “unlawfully threatened, disciplined and/or terminated workers for engaging in legally protected strikes and protests.” At the heart of this challenge are 60 workers – 19 of whom were fired – who walked off the job in strikes aimed at better pay and benefits in 2012 and 2013. The U.S. Government will have a say in whether this was all done legally, and Walmart could be forced to reinstate the terminated workers and provide them with back pay depending on the outcome of forthcoming court dates. And legalities are part of the norm in any business, especially in one of this size, however the decision could have an effect on employer/employee relationships everywhere.

Despite the recent ruckus, the retail giant could still be a boon to Eastvale by bringing a potential $1 million in sales tax revenue to the City, and another way to “roll back prices” for more than 57,000 Eastvale residents – as well as those in nearby Chino and Ontario. If they can re-gauge their target markets in alignment with new initiatives to better sales, Walmart may indeed help Eastvale save money and live better.

Walnut – This month, 5th Graders presented year-end research projects during the Exhibitions at C.J. Morris and Castle Rock elementary schools.

 

The end-of-the-year event is the culmination of the students’ K-5 learning experience at the international schools. 95 C.J. Morris students voted to choose the topic of Homelessness, based on one central idea: children worldwide face many challenges and risks. Each team chose an area to research and spent several weeks on their presentations. Topics included homeless in our community, state, country, and world. Each group developed an oral presentation, technology and creative component, and action plan for families, at the event held on May 15.

 

“We can all help homeless children all over the world and give them happiness,” said Team Action members, Joshua McBride, Eddie Cabrera, Kyle Tchen, Abbey Arzola, and Ginger Alvarez.

 

The team suggested several ideas to help out, including sending money to shelters, giving gift cards, donating clothing, food, or adopting homeless children. The group also made t-shirts, wrote a song, and created an iMovie for their project. They agreed they got to know each other and liked working together during the past weeks.

 

At Castle Rock Elementary, 5th Graders presented “Sharing the Planet” inquiry-based research projects during their I.B. Exhibition held on May 22. 86 students used their IB skills, attitudes, and attributes acquired in the elite program.

 

15 groups researched the topics of their choice, based on modern-day issues ranging from Water Usage to Renewable Energy and Global Warming. Presentations included display boards, technology and artistic components, mathematical data to support their findings, and action plans. Students created videos, hosted live debates, and were eager to answer questions after the program.

 

Rowland Heights: Alvarado Is “School To Watch”

BY GINA K. WARD

 

Rowland Heights – The National Forum to Accelerate Middle-Grades Reform announced one hundred and sixteen exemplary middle-grades schools in Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Virginia have been named “Schools to Watch” as part of the recognition and improvement program. Having established partnership with education leaders in these states, the Forum announced the names of schools in each state that meet its strict criteria. Rowland Unified School District is proud that Alvarado Intermediate is one of only five schools in California to be re-designated as a “Schools to Watch” for three times. Alvarado Intermediate will be recognized at the Schools to Watch Conference in the Washington, DC area June 26- 28.

“It’s very exciting to be heading to Washington D.C. and to have Alvarado Intermediate represent California and Rowland Heights,” said Karen Magana, Principal of Alvarado. “I look forward to sharing this recognition with all students, parents, staff and community and I thank everyone for their support and commitment to our motto, Matadors Motivated by the Spirit of Excellence.”

Each “Schools to Watch” school was selected by state leaders for its academic excellence, its responsiveness to the needs and interests of young adolescents, and its commitment to helping all students achieve at high levels. In addition, each school has strong leadership, teachers who work together to improve curriculum and instruction, and a commitment to assessment and accountability to bring about continuous improvement.

Linda Hopping, Chair of the National Forum’s Schools to Watch Oversight Committee stated, “These schools demonstrate that high-performing middle grades schools have a clear focus on academic growth and achievement. They also recognize the importance of meeting the needs of all of their students and ensuring that each and every child has access to a rigorous, high-quality education. We are proud to have these schools serve as models from which others can learn.”

Launched in 1999, Schools to Watch began as a national program to identify middle-grades schools across the country that were meeting or exceeding 37 criteria developed by the Forum. The Forum web site (http://www.middlegradesforum.org) features detailed information about the selection criteria. The National Forum to Accelerate Middle-Grades Reform is an alliance of 40 educators, researchers, national associations, and officers of professional organizations and foundations dedicated to improving education in the middle grades.

Alvarado Intermediate serves grades 7th and 8th Grade students and was first named a Model Middle School in 2004, then re-designated in 2007, 2011 and again in 2014.  It is a recognized and award-winning “School of Excellence” on a national and state level
