A press release issued by SMPD Captain Henry Amos, stat- ed, “In early 2022, the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Taskforce forwarded the Sierra Madre Police De- partment a cyber-tip regarding downloaded child pornog- raphy. After a thorough follow-up investigation, a suspect was identified. On April 20, 2022, the Sierra Madre Police Department served a search and arrest warrant at a residence in the City of Sierra Madre, collecting electronic devices and other evi- dence. Suspect Eduardo Carralero has been taken into cus- tody and is currently being held at Los Angeles County Jail for possession of child pornography.” Since that time, Carralero has been released on bail. In October, 2021, Jared Mason was also arrested by SMPD and booked and charged with possession of Child Pornog- raphy as well as charges for possession of a firearm without a serial number and illegal possession of an AR 15. Both defendants are in their 20’s with court dates pending. Even though the California legislature has made crimes against children a priority - stating that they should be brought to trial as soon as possible - LA County District At- torney Gascon’s policies do not follow the states mandate or guidelines. Another possession of child pornography case involving a long time Sierra Madre resident in 2020 has not yet been adjudicated. The accused was released from cus- tody without bail on Gascon’s watch. According to the ICAC Taskforce, “the best tool we have to prevent Internet crimes against children is education.” On their website the statistics on Sextortion, the online exploita- tion crime directed towards children, is staggering. (Sextor- tion (icactaskforce.org)). It is unknown the origin of the pornography in the incidents mentioned above, however, parents are encouraged to be- come educated and to educate their children on how to pro- tect themselves against internet predators. The ICAC website is an excellent resource for information on how to protect children Internet Safety - ICAC (icactas- kforce.org). City's 2022 Water Distribution Solar Energy Project is the first of its kind in the 88 cities of Los Angeles County On Earth Day, Friday, April 22,2022, Sierra Madre made history! Sierra Madre became the first cityin Los Angeles County to install a Photovoltaic Solar ground-mount system of solar panels near the groundwater replenishment ba- sins, City Yard, and water produc- tion facilities. The project, known as Sierra Madre's 2022 Water Distribution Solar Energy Project will absorb and convert sunlight directly into electricity. The project is estimated to offset 948,332 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy from the Water Department’s production facility. The savings account for approxi- mately 38% of the energy use in the production and distribution of the City’s water supply. In addition, the Solar Project will eliminate 693 tons of CO2 emissions and save 1,457 barrels of oil per year. The panels will consume no fossil fu- els and pro- duce no air emissions. As promised, the ground mount system has little to no impact in modifying the scenic view of the San Gabriel Mountains. Appropriately, on Earth Day, May- or Gene Goss,the city council and Congresswoman Judy Chu, State Senator Judy Chu and LA CountySupervisor Kathryn Barger cut the ribbon indicating the completion of the project. Construction began in late Janu- ary, 2022. For additional infor- mation on the project and its im- pact go to: http://mtnviewsnews. com/old/mvnews/v16/ MVNews_2022_01_29.pdf S.
