Been there, done that


Scrubbing History Away

 
Looks like John ( I'll sell it for the right price ) Pena is having his men, scrub off what's left over from the Historic Letters. That once read CLARK BROS. GARAGE, well since he's scrubbing the old off, he should have the letters painted back on. It won't be the same, but what the heck, it would look nice. 

Life with Porky

 
Hi everyone I like to take a minute to talk about the summer heat, and our pets. Well already the temperature is getting warmer and warmer, and it's a good time to make sure that your pets, are being taken care of. My job here is to make sure Nikki our Security Dog has fresh cool water to drink and a good place to lay down, during these hot days.
And you kid's when you get hot and thirsty, instead of reaching for a soda, ask your folk's for a nice glass of cold water Hmm. Ren and I always reach for ice water, when we are working in the yard. 
OK that's all, and remember to take care of our other family members Bye!

The Ultimate Thriller is based on Michael Jackson's "Dangerous" and "Bad" concert tours and features iconic songs like "Black or White," "Beat It," and "Billie Jean." Fronting the show is Fabio MordĂ , who has been portraying Michael for more than 10 years. MordĂ  is supported by an expert dance squad choreographed by Jackson's own beloved dance experts and friends Mic Thompson and LaVelle Smith Jr. Together with an electrifying band and Jackson's personal audio consultant Michael Prince, this world-class troupe is working hard to keep Michael Jackson's legacy alive and live up to his standards of perfection. Lavelle Smith Jr. decided to begin working with The Ultimate Thriller because "I believe if anyone is going to do anything in tribute to MJ, they should do it on his level, meaning as close to perfect as possible. Everyone in The Ultimate Thriller is extremely talented and hard-working. I love to close my eyes and listen, because it really takes me back. I also love sharing my knowledge with them the way MJ did with me." For all the artists involved, this tour is about more than nostalgia. It is about carrying on the magic, music and energy Jackson brought to the world. "After touring extensively through Europe," says Robert Hyman, The Ultimate Thriller show producer. "we played a few shows in the States and the fans went crazy! We even had to add security for the safety of our Michael. Now, we have partnered with Columbia Artists Theatricals to kick off an official U.S. tour that is sure to thrill fans and help keep Michael Jackson's memory alive." Featuring an unbeatable combination of live musicians, an incredible light display, authentic costumes and showstopping choreography, The Ultimate Thriller brings the magic of Michael Jackson's legacy to life.

Public Defender from Upland Charged with Social Security Theft


The United States Attorney's Office said Wednesday the woman is charged with a fraud scheme that spanned over a dozen years, and netted her more nearly $130,000.
An Upland woman who has represented alleged criminals in the Riverside County court system is now facing serious allegations herself.

60-year-old Audrey Owens, a deputy public defender for the county, surrendered to federal authorities Wednesday, and appeared before a federal magistrate at the U.S. District Court in downtown Riverside.  After posting a $25,000 property bond, she was released from custody.
The attorney– who now faces up to 10 years in federal prison– is accused of taking a total of $129,795 in social security benefits from a bank account that belonged to her dead grandmother, according to federal affidavit.

The U.S. Attorney's Office alleges Owens collected her grandmother's social security payments for more than 12 years, from June 2000 through August 2012.

"After her grandmother’s death, Owens changed the address of a joint account she shared with her grandmother and continued to receive social security payments intended for her grandmother," a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office said.  "Owens allegedly used these social security payments to pay bills and to pay expenses that included contributions to the Riverside County Employee Campaign."

Owens came to the attention of the Office of the Inspector General for the Social Security Administration last summer, after agents confirmed that SSA retirement insurance benefits had been deposited into a bank account shared by the defendant and her grandmother, Pollie Gayden, who died in May 2000, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Prosecutors said the SSA ran a check on Gayden's status when records showed she had passed 100 years of age. Benefits abruptly stopped last September when the government received a copy of the woman's death certificate, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Owens allegedly told investigators that she believed the money being deposited into the Kansas City bank account was from her father's veterans' benefits, not Social Security.
"I don't want to go to jail," the woman allegedly told social security investigators, according to court documents.  "I don't want my career destroyed...I'm happy it's done with... I've had lots of sleepless nights over this"
The deputy public defender said she used the funds to cover health care- related expenses for her father, an Alzheimer's patient, but also acknowledged using the money "for her own needs, such as for rent and utility bills," court papers allege.
Her father died in December 2006.
"She knew at the time that it was wrong to take and spend what she believed constituted (her father's) VA funds after his death; however, she did so anyway," the complaint alleges.
The items for which Owens allegedly wrote a check out of the shared account included a $300 contribution to the Riverside County Employee Campaign, a booster group for the roughly 17,800 people employed in county government.
The defendant is due back in U.S. District Court in Riverside on July 17.
