    Congratulations Triple Crown Jockey Victor Espinoza of Sierra Madre! VOLUME 9 NO. 24 SIERRA MADRE POLICE SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 2015 APPREHEND WANTED SEXUAL THE TOWN COMES OUT TO BALANCE THE BUDGET PREDATOR Sierra Madre police arrested a man Wednesday morning wanted in Pasadena for sexual battery after a number of residents recognized his picture from news reports that day. Emilio Buch, a known homeless man, was walking down Sierra Madre Boulevard around 8:20 a.m. when Police Sergeant Kenneth Berry said he was flagged down by a resident who saw Buch near Baldwin Avenue. According to reports, Berry also said he had gotten a call from another resident who saw a man matching Buch’s description. Buch was arrested, sitting on a bench, without incident. Pasadena Police say Buch was wanted in connection with an alleged sexual battery on June 6. Police said a homeless woman woke up partially unclothed around 2:50 a.m. She was startled to find Buch asleep behind her with his hand on her inner thigh. Buch fled and was chased by the woman’s boyfriend although he got away. He is being held in Pasadena jail on $100,000 bail. Councilwoman Denise Delmar explains the components of the General Fund to one group at the Town Hall meeting. Photo by S. Henderson “Preserve the past; Inform the Present; able to carefully review every aspect of 3. Individual assessments. This Inspire Our Future”.

  • Undercurrent Book Reviews
    Book Review Roundup from THERE WAS A TIME when great underwater photographers, the likes of Chris Newbert, David Doubilet, Jeffrey Rotmann, Roger Steene and Norbert Wu, pub- lished coffee table tomes of their wonderful photographs, but nowadays, few people buy this type of book. When National Geographic sheds its full-time pho- tographic staff, it indicates what dire straits the publishing business might be in. The digital revolution has changed underwater photography, and now everyone wants to take their own pictures and share them on-line. It has become remark- ably easy. In the wake of this digital revolution, a plethora of underwater pho- tography gurus has sprung up to reveal the differences between photographing through water rather than air, and the solutions to that. Underwater Some of these gurus are self-styled and not necessarily very good, but marine biol- ogist, underwater photographer Alex Mustard is the modern master of what he Photography does, and willingly reveals to others, by way of escorted photo-safaris, how he does it. Instead of producing just a coffee table book of pictures, he is more didactic Master Class in his approach, disguising his superb photos in this book as demonstrations of by Alex how to do it, or as inspiration to others to have a go themselves. It’s a master class and it’s stuffed with information.

    February 26, 2020 Division of the Secretariat U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Room 820 4330 East West Highway Bethesda, MD 20814 Comments of Consumer Reports to the Consumer Product Safety Commission on the Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking: “Safety Standard for Infant Sleep Products” Docket No. CPSC-2017-0020 Consumer Reports, the independent, non-profit member organization,1 welcomes the opportunity to submit comments to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) regarding the agency’s supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking to establish a safety standard for infant sleep products. We commend the CPSC for proposing a rule that would strengthen safety standards for infant sleep products nationwide and align with medical experts’ safe sleep recommendations, all based on a robust and growing body of evidence for how to keep infants safe. Parents and caregivers should be able to trust that all products for infant sleep must meet strong standards to keep babies safe, and right now, this simply is not the case. Accordingly, Consumer Reports strongly supports the proposed standard, with minor modifications, and urges the CPSC to finalize it expeditiously. As a part of CR’s ongoing work to improve infant sleep safety, and working together side by side with consumers across the country, Consumer Reports received approximately 22,650 signatures from people who wished to petition the CPSC in support of the proposed safety standard for infant sleep products. Attached to these comments, please find the names of these people, who collectively send the Commission the following message: We urge the Consumer Product Safety Commission to finalize its strong proposed rules on infant sleep products.
