Riparian Habitat Workshop 
Come and help us recreate our riparian habitat and infiltration 
basin! We will be setting up an ideal water harvesting swale that 
will slow, spread, and infiltrate rain water using stone and native 
plants. You will learn what makes the system work, how to manage 
and benefit from run-off water that would otherwise be lost to the 
homeowner. 
August 22 
Xerigation Tour 
Xerigate don’t irrigate! Learn spot-on watering techniques to 
achieve the best results for your landscape. In this workshop we will 
discuss how different types of soil absorb water, correct irrigation 
emitters for your yard, and 
strategies to irrigate problem spots and irregularly shaped beds. 
We will visit the Crescent Farm for a demonstration of how we 
converted lawn into a beautiful, evergreen, low-water landscape 
through appropriate plant selection and accurate irrigation. 
Convert your yard into a proper California landscape and save 
money on water bills! 
September 19 
Sheet Mulching Workshop 
Using what you have on hand or can source locally is truly 
sustainable gardening. This workshop will show you how using 
cardboard and mulch will build fertile productive soil. This is also 
a proven method for removing your lawn and reducing the weed 
load as you transition into a water wise landscape. There will be a 
visual presentation and a hands-on activity where you will actually 
help us to build our new Crescent Farm.

GOVERNOR SIGNS GATTO’S 
BILL GRANTING CHILDREN 
ACCESS TO AILING PARENTS 
Legislation inspired by Kerri Kasem, daughter of 
radio personality Casey Kasem, who was denied 
visitation rights to her now deceased father. 
SACRAMENTO, CA – Today, Assemblyman Mike Gatto’s (D-Glendale) 
legislation to provide access for adult children who wish to visit an ailing 
parent was signed into law by Governor Brown, culminating almost twoyear’s 
worth of work on this issue. The legislation, AB 1085, will provide 
legal recourse for children who are denied access to a parent, by their 
parent’s current spouse or another family member. 
With divorce and remarriage common, there is a possibility of conflict 
between a subsequent spouse and a child from an ailing parent’s previous 
marriage. Current law provides no remedial mechanism for children or 
relatives to petition a court for visitation. 
“Conflict among family members is the last thing our loved ones want 
to see as they approach their final hours,” said Gatto. “I hope this bill will 
help decrease the heartache and stress of families already facing difficult 
circumstances.” 
AB 1085 would give judges authority to direct, or grant, a conservator 
the power to enforce senior’s right to receive visitors, telephone calls, and 
personal mail. This will be an important mechanism for families attempting 
to connect with elders for what is often the last time. The measure also 
will require caretakers to give notice of an elder’s death to certain family 
members. 
Assemblyman Gatto developed the legislation with several adult children 
who have been denied access to their ailing parents, including radio and 
television personality Kerri Kasem, current co-host of the “Protect Your 
Family” and “Gurvey’s Law” talk shows on KABC Radio. Kerri is an 
outspoken advocate of visitation rights for adult children as a result of her 
struggle to see her beloved father, broadcasting legend Casey Kasem, who 
struggled with poor health before his passing last year. After sharing her 
struggle to see her father on various media outlets, Kerri and Assemblyman 
Gatto received thousands of communications from across the country of 
similar stories of heartache. Recently, FoxNews.com reported about how 
other states are following Assemblyman Gatto’s footsteps on this legislation. 
“AB 1085 will provide hope to families experiencing isolation of a loved 
one by giving the court a way to provide visitation,” said Kasem. “I want to 
thank Assemblyman Gatto, and the Kasem Cares team that worked closely 
with him, for bringing more awareness to the issue of elder abuse through 
the passage of this important legislation.” 
Mike Gatto is the Chairman of the Consumer Protection and Privacy 
Committee, and the longest-serving current member of the State Assembly. 
He represents California’s 43rd Assembly District, which includes Burbank, 
Glendale, La Cañada Flintridge, La Crescenta, Montrose, and the Los 
Angeles neighborhoods of Atwater Village, East Hollywood, Franklin 
Hills, Hollywood Hills, Los Feliz, and Silver Lake. www.asm.ca.gov/gatto 
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE 
RANKING MEMBER SCHIFF 
STATEMENT ON NUCLEAR 
AGREEMENT WITH IRAN 
Washington, DC – Today, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank), the Ranking 
Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, 
released the following statement: 
“Throughout the long standoff with Iran over its nuclear program, 
I have expressed my preference for a diplomatic solution that would 
prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. To accomplish this, I 
have supported a series of ever tightening American sanctions and efforts 
to rally the international community to isolate Iran, raising the costs of 
Iran’s enrichment program and helping to dry up a portion of the funding 
Iran has used to carry out its nefarious conduct in the region and beyond. 
“In the coming days I will be examining the terms of the agreement 
hammered out by Secretary Of State John Kerry and his team, with 
particular attention to the verification regime that is central to ensuring 
that Iran cannot cheat. Whether I can support the agreement will 
hinge on our ability to verify that Iran is complying, and whether we 
have timely access to any site of Iran’s potential nuclear development 
activities, including venues controlled by the Iranian military. It will also 
be necessary for the United States and our partners to get an accurate 
accounting of Tehran’s nuclear program from its inception. Additionally, 
I will be looking at the sequencing of Iranian actions and any loosening 
of sanctions and the mechanism for re-imposing them -- the so-called 
‘snap back’ provisions -- should Tehran fail to meet its commitments. 
“The nuclear program has always been the greatest threat from 
Iran, but not the only one, and I also remain deeply concerned about 
Tehran’s actions in the region -- from its efforts to dominate Iraq and 
Lebanon, to prop up the Assad regime in Syria, to back the Houthi 
rebels in Yemen, to its unrelenting hostility to Israel and its support 
of terror around the world. I will also be examining any relaxation of 
UN sanctions on Iran’s acquisition of weapons or missile technology. 
“Given Iran’s long record of duplicity and the consequence of Iran’s 
getting a bomb or having a greater economic power to project its destructive 
influence, we cannot be too careful, nor can we afford to take Tehran at its 
word. 
“As the terms and consequences of this agreement become clear during 
the period of Congressional review, I would urge my colleagues to give 
the measure the serious thought it deserves. If the agreement is flawed it 
should be rejected; at the same time, we must not compare the proposal to 
an ideal, but rather to any credible alternative. Will rejection of the deal lead 
to additional sanctions and an Iran willing to concede more, or to renewed 
enrichment and a path to war? These are the stakes and our decision should 
be made with sober thought and a minimum of partisan demagoguery.”

ASPEN FOODS RECALLS 
FROZEN, RAW, STUFFED & 
BREADED CHICKEN PRODUCTS 
DUE TO POSSIBLE SALMONELLA 
ENTERITIDIS CONTAMINATION 
WASHINGTON, July 15, 2015 – Aspen Foods, A Division of 
Koch Poultry Company, a Chicago, Ill. establishment, is recalling 
approximately 1,978,680 pounds of frozen, raw, stuffed and breaded 
chicken product that may be contaminated with Salmonella 
Enteritidis, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and 
Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. 
The frozen, raw, stuffed and breaded chicken items were produced 
between April 15, 2015 and July 10, 2015 with “best if used by” dates 
between July 14, 2016 and October 10, 2016. To view a full list of 
recalled products, please click here (XLS). The brands associated 
with this recall include: 
Acclaim 
Antioch Farms 
Buckley Farms 
Centrella Signature 
Chestnut Farms 
Family Favorites 
Kirkwood 
Koch Foods 
Market Day 
Oven Cravers 
Rose 
Rosebud Farm 
Roundy’s 
Safeway Kitchens 
Schwan’s 
Shaner’s 
Spartan 
Sysco 
The product subject to recall bears the establishment number “P- 
1358” inside the USDA mark of inspection. This product was 
shipped to retail stores and food service locations nationwide. 
FSIS was notified of a cluster of Salmonella Enteritidis illnesses 
on June 23, 2015. Working in conjunction with Minnesota State 
Departments of Health and Agriculture, FSIS determined that 
there is a link between the frozen, raw, stuffed and breaded chicken 
products from Aspen Foods and this illness cluster. Based on 
epidemiological evidence and traceback investigations, three 
case-patients have been identified in Minnesota with illness onset 
dates ranging from May 9, 2015 to June 8, 2015. FSIS continues to 
work with the Minnesota Departments of Health and Agriculture 
as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on this 
investigation. 
Consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause 
salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne 
illnesses. The most common symptoms of salmonellosis are 
diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within 12 to 72 hours after 
exposure to the organism. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Most 
people recover without treatment. In some persons, however, the 
diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. 
Older adults, infants, and persons with weakened immune systems 
are more likely to develop a severe illness. Individuals concerned 
about an illness should contact their health care provider. 
FSIS and the company are concerned that some product may be in 
consumers' freezers. Although the product subject to recall may 
appear to be cooked, this product is in fact uncooked (raw) and 
should be handled carefully to avoid cross-contamination in the 
kitchen. Particular attention needs to be paid to safely prepare and 
cook these raw poultry products to a temperature of 165° F checking 
at the center, the thickest part and the surface of the product. 
This frozen, raw, stuffed and breaded chicken product was labeled 
with instructions identifying that the product was raw and included 
cooking instructions for preparation. Some case-patients reported 
following the cooking instructions on the label and using a food 
thermometer to confirm that the recommended temperature was 
achieved. Therefore, FSIS advises all consumers to treat this product 
like a raw chicken product. Hands and any surfaces, including 
surfaces that may have breading dislodged from the product, 
should be cleaned after contact with this raw product. Also, keep 
raw poultry away from other food that will not be cooked. Use one 
cutting board for raw poultry and a separate one for fresh produce 
and cooked foods. 
Consumers with questions can contact the company directly at 
(844) 277-6802.
