Community: New $100 Bill

Hi Pepperdine Libboard,

Federal Reserve Board Issues Redesigned $100 Note

The Federal Reserve on recently began supplying financial institutions with a redesigned $100 note that incorporates new security features to deter counterfeiters and help businesses and consumers tell whether a note is genuine.

Distance, demand, and the policies of individual financial institutions will influence how quickly the redesigned notes reach businesses and consumers around the world.

 

“The new design incorporates security features that make it easier to authenticate, but harder to replicate,” said Federal Reserve Board Governor Jerome H. Powell. “As the new note transitions into daily transactions, the user-friendly security features will allow the public to more easily verify its authenticity.”

 

The Federal Reserve, U.S. Department of the Treasury, U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and the U.S. Secret Service partner to redesign Federal Reserve notes to stay ahead of counterfeiting threats.

 

The redesigned $100 note includes two new security features: a blue 3-D security ribbon with images of bells and 100s, and a color-changing bell in an inkwell. The new features, and additional features retained from the previous design, such as a watermark, offer the public a simple way to visually authenticate the redesigned $100 note.

 

Consumers worldwide are advised that it is not necessary to trade in older-design $100 notes for new ones. It is U.S. government policy that all designs of U.S. currency remain legal tender, regardless of when they were issued.

For more information about the new design $100 note, as well as training and educational materials, visit www.newmoney.gov

Community: The Man Behind Red Ribbon Week

Hi Pepperdine Libboard,

Red Ribbon Week began in 1985 to commemorate the death of DEA, Special Agent Enrique "KiKi" Camarena.

For over four years, Special Agent Camarena was assigned to Guadalajara, Mexico, where he was hot on the trail of the country's largest marijuana and cocaine traffickers. Special Agent Camarena was also extremely close to unlocking a multi-billion dollar drug pipeline. On February 7, 1985, Mexican drug traffickers, kidnapped, brutally tortured, and murdered Special Agent Camarena.

Special Agent Camarena gave his life in the fight against drugs, as well as opened up millions of people's eyes to the dangers of illicit drugs and the international scope of the drug trade.

Red Ribbon Week was created in Calexico, California in Camarena's hometown, where residents began wearing red ribbons to remember and commemorate his ultimate sacrifice. The Red Ribbon soon gained momentum across California, as well as throughout the rest of the country. The Red Ribbon Week event was officially formalized in 1988, when President Ronald Reagan and Mrs. Reagan served as the Red Ribbon Week honorary chairpersons.

This week, millions of Americans celebrate the man behind the symbol and remember his ultimate sacrifice in fight against illicit drugs. Red Ribbon Week has been a leading force all over the United States to get communities to educate youth and encourage participation in drug prevention.

During this week, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Success Through Awareness and Resistance (STAR) Unit, has participated in Red Ribbon Week activities by visiting schools and speaking at their assemblies about the origins of Red Ribbon Week, as well as the dangers of drugs and alcohol.

Red Ribbon Week is also an excellent time for parents to talk with their children about drugs, their dangers, and consequences. Many parents may not feel the need to do so at such an early
age, but it is never too early when it comes to drugs.

This week we remember all the fallen officers who fought against the war on drugs.

Contact your local police station or local library for Red Ribbon Week drug prevention activities.

Community: Internet Child Porn - 5 Arrests. Investigation Continues. LA County Cyber Crimes Task Force

Hi Pepperdine Libboard,

A six week investigation by a Los Angeles County Cyber Crimes Task Force has culminated in the arrest of five suspects in a wide ranging case involving the possession and distribution of child pornography over the Internet.

On Wednesday October 23, 2013, and Thursday October 24, 2013, task force members served search warrants at homes in South Los Angeles, Palmdale and Fullerton, and businesses in the Cities of Baldwin Park, and Whittier. Evidence linking the suspects to the distribution of child pornography was recovered from each of the locations.

The first four suspects who were arrested are identified as 19-year-old Rolando Garcia of South Los Angeles, 43-year-old Mario Aburto of West Covina, 72-year-old Jon Johnson of Fullerton, and 53-year-old Soraya Solimano of Palmdale. Rolando Garcia, Mario Aburto and Jon Johnson were arrested for suspicion of possessing and distributing child pornography. Soraya Solimano was arrested for suspicion of possessing a controlled substance.

A fifth suspect, 52-year-old Gregory MacClean of Palmdale, was arrested Friday morning (10/25/13) for possession and distribution of child pornography. Suspect MacClean had previously fled when investigators attempted to contact him at his workplace in Whittier, and then failed to show up at a pre-arranged meeting with investigators. He then turned himself in on Friday.

The Los Angeles County Cyber Crimes Task Force consists of Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputies, as well as members of the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This investigation was conducted with the assistance of the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force. ICAC was started by the United States Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, in 1998. Its primary goals are to provide state and local law enforcement agencies with the tools to prevent Internet crimes against children, to encourage multi-jurisdictional cooperation, and to educate law enforcement, parents, and teachers. The ICAC task force seeks to identify distributors of child pornography on the Internet, whether delivered on-line or solicited on-line and distributed through other channels, and to apprehend sexual predators who solicit victims on the Internet through chat rooms and other methods. Currently all fifty states participate in ICAC.

In this case, investigators proactively sought out persons offering to distribute child pornography on the Internet. Once sources were identified, investigators then actively downloaded videos and photos from the sources. After confirming it was illegal child pornography, investigators determined the locations from which the images were distributed, then linked them to the suspects who were doing the distributing. The arrests followed. The investigation is continuing.

Hundreds of photos and videos of children between 1 and 16 years old engaged in sex acts with adults were recovered by investigators. There is an ongoing effort to identify and help the children who are victims of these crimes, and who are believed to be located throughout the world.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact Los Angeles County Sheriff's Detective John Howard at 818-576-8884. Or if you wish to remain Anonymous, call "LA Crime Stoppers" by dialing 800-222-TIPS (8477), texting the letters TIPLA plus your tip to CRIMES (274637), or using the website http://lacrimestoppers.org

Community: In the Line of Duty: 99 Years Ago in L.A.: Deputy Constable Anthony Couts. EOW 10/25/1914

Hi Pepperdine Libboard,

Deputy Constable Anthony Brian Couts EOW 25 October 1914

By Lt. John Stanley, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (2013)
________________________________________

He was to be married within days, and it was his intention to give up his job as a deputy constable before he exchanged vows and begin a new career. But, on the eve of what was to be his last day in law enforcement, twenty-three year old Deputy Constable Anthony Brian Couts agreed to perform one final act as a peace officer as a favor to a friend. It proved to be a fatal decision.

On August 19th, 1914, Mrs. May Thornton and J.W. Ferguson, a former miner now in the rooming house business, purchased the property at 222 ½ N. Main Street in downtown Los Angeles as a joint venture. On September 23rd, they took possession of the property but had problems with the previous tenants. This required that they go to court and seek an injunction. Deputy Constable Couts arrived on September 25th at the direction of the local justice of the peace in his official role to oversee the disposition of the building's furniture. It was at that time that Couts first made the acquaintance of Mrs. Thornton, Mr. Ferguson and Mrs. Thornton's daughter Edna Neathameyer. Deputy Constable Couts reportedly impressed all parties. But he particularly impressed young Miss Neathameyer. Couts told her that should she ever encounter any problems to give him a call and he would respond to assist her.

Late Saturday evening on October 24th, 1914, Edna witnessed a heated argument between her mother and her business partner Mr. Ferguson. Edna called Deputy Constable Couts and requested that he come to the property to intervene in the dispute. After receiving the phone call, Couts's fiancée Corina Rogers purportedly urged him not to go. The Los Angeles Times even recorded a supposed dialog between the two as Corina attempted to dissuade him from going and prevailed upon him to remain with her:

"Don't go, Tony," she said when the interruption came. "I must," was his answer. "But I don't want you to," she insisted with the command of a bride-to-be."

Couts rode his motorcycle the short distance from his fiancee's residence at 512 E. Twelfth Street to the north Main Street address. The dispute between the two property owners was concluded by the time Couts arrived, but he still went to Ferguson's room to talk with the man. The conversation took place in the hallway just outside of Ferguson's door and was overheard by Manuel L. Machado a man employed by Ferguson as a handyman to make the property ready for occupancy. Just as this was to be Couts last day as a peace officer, it was also to be Machado's last day as a tenant and employee of Mr. Ferguson. He was discharged by Ferguson earlier that day and was granted one last night in the house before being turned out.

Machado came out of his room and began a heated exchange with Couts in the hallway that, according to all who testified about it at the coroner's inquest, had nothing to do with the dispute between Mrs. Thompson and Mr. Ferguson, but rather about inappropriate remarks Machado made toward Miss Neathameyer. Again, the Times records a back and forth account of their dispute that today seems ripped from the script of a melodrama. Miss Neathameyer's testimony at the inquest provides the most detailed record of the dispute between Couts and Machado. She did not hear Machado's initial comment to Couts, but she did state she heard the deputy constable's response and the rest of the conversation.

"Anyhow Couts said, 'Well, you have got nothing to talk about because you have been throwing slurs to both of the women here. You have no right throwing slurs like you have.' So Machado says, 'I didn't.' Then I was there to see and said, 'Yes, you did.'"

The argument between Couts and Machado grew more heated as Miss Neathameyer's continuing testimony documented. "Couts finally said, 'I think you had better come along with me and settle this business over to the police station.' Machado said, 'I will have your star taken away from you.' Couts said, 'Well, maybe I can have yours taken away, too. We had better go over to the police station and settle things.'"

At this point Couts grabbed Machado by the left arm. The young deputy constable was tall and broad shouldered and described in the Times as was powerful enough to lift four men. This assertion notwithstanding, what was certain was that Machado was not going to break free from Couts's grip by physical force. Couts purportedly took a couple of steps toward the door with Machado in tow when the man pulled out a handgun and shot Couts in the stomach. Couts pushed himself away from Machado and attempted to run for the door. Machado shot at him twice more as he fled. One bullet went harmlessly through a plate glass window, but the other struck the young deputy constable in the back and he staggered out to the street.

As fortune would have it, LAPD Officer C.F. Fordice was standing outside the building. He testified at the coroner's inquest that he heard the first shot, but thought it was a car backfiring. When he heard the next two shots he realized he was hearing gunfire. He stepped in front of the entrance to 222 ½ Main Street just as three or four people quickly exited, including the wounded young deputy constable. Couts told him that he had been shot and that the perpetrator was still inside. Officer Fordice called in the incident and then entered the property and took Machado into custody without incident.

Remarkably, a short time later, while Couts was at the hospital lying prostrate on a cot awaiting surgery, Machado and he had another conversation; this time it was in the presence of LAPD Officer T.H. Zeiglar. Couts positively identified Machado as the man who shot him and Machado freely admitted to Zeiglar that he had done so. Zeiglar testified that Machado told him, "Yes, I shot him. I shot him three times… He came up there and was going to take my star away from me and I told him that I was an officer just the same as he was. I wouldn't stand for it."

Machado had been given a badge as a special deputy sheriff, an honorary award. Meanwhile, Couts was a full time deputy constable. It is ironic that Machado was given a badge of any kind. As he awaited trial, it was learned that he was a convicted felon. From March 24, 1905 to November 24, 1906 Machado served time in Folsom Prison for forgery. The photo of him was taken by state correctional personnel during his time in prison on that charge. His prison identification number is attached to his shirt.

Machado's true nature was at the root of the argument between him and Couts. Zeiglar testified that after Machado confessed to him that he shot Couts and stated his rationale for doing so, Couts countered that Machado was jealous of his relationship with Edna Neathameyer and that Machado had also offered the girl five dollars to have sex with him. Machado's attempt to solicit sex from Edna was the real reason Couts wanted to take Machado to the police station. When Officer Fordice testified at the inquest after Officer Zeiglar, he stated that Machado told him that it was Couts who offered Edna five dollars to have sex with him and he was in the process of putting Couts out of the building when the altercation occurred.

Edna was sitting in the gallery as Fordice testified. She immediately cried out that this was not true and that it had been Machado who made this statement. She was put back on the stand to corroborate this assertion and stated under oath, "Mr. Machado was the one that asked me if I wanted to make a five. I told him no, that I wasn't that sort of a girl and he said, 'O, well, if you don't want to, all right.' Then he comes back later and he shakes his fist and he says, 'Well, gee, if I was a girl, I would get out and make all the money I could.'"

Machado's conflicting statements and the testimony of the witnesses were used against him at his trial. He was convicted of manslaughter for slaying Deputy Constable Couts and sentenced to ten years in San Quentin.

Anthony Brian Couts's great aunt was Arcadia Bandini de Stearns Baker, prominent Los Angeles land baroness, and he was one of her heirs. His older brother Robert Couts testified at the coroner's inquest and identified his body. Robert would later join the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department as a deputy, perhaps to honor his brother's sacrifice. Unfortunately, in 1920, tragedy would once again strike the Couts family when the body of Chalmers Couts, Anthony's middle brother, was found under a pile of hay in Coyote Pass about a mile from the Midwick Country Club in Alhambra.

The rooming house at 222 ½ N. Main Street and all the other buildings around it were torn down in 1926 to make way for the Los Angeles City Hall which stands on the site today.

Deputy Constable Couts's sacrifice was lost to history for almost a century. We honor him today on the ninety-ninth anniversary of his death for his service to the citizens of Los Angeles County.

The Sheriff's Department is seeking any living relatives of Deputy Constable Couts to represent him next May at the Los Angeles County Memorial Ceremony. If you can provide any information in this regard, please call the Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau at 323-267-4800.
