Few rewards paid out in crime cases
AD Quality Auto 360p 720p 1080p Top articles1/5READ MOREPettersson scores another winner, Canucks beat Kings“We would never characterize it as a waste of time,” said Capt. Kyle Jackson, commanding officer of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Robbery Homicide Division. In Los Angeles, city and county lawmakers enjoy broad latitude when selecting which crime investigations merit cash incentives for tipsters. “The larger the amount of money they put up, the more impressive it’s going to be to the public at large — or put more simply, to the voters,” said Gilbert Geis, professor emeritus of criminology, law and society at UC Irvine. The crimes chosen for rewards tend to be high-profile killings that involve very young or very old victims, often of gang violence; slayings of police officers or sheriff’s deputies; or hate crimes. For more news and observations about crime in Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, check out the Daily News’ crime blog by clicking here. Fewer than 10 percent of the rewards offered by Los Angeles City and County officials to help solve crimes end up being paid out. Offering rewards is older than Wild West “Wanted” posters. Despite the widespread publicity and heartfelt pleas from grieving relatives such offerings typically garner, records show that a monetary reward has less than a 1 in 10 chance of being given out in Los Angeles and L.A. County. Since 1985, the Board of Supervisors has advertised more than 275 rewards worth nearly $3 million combined. Tips from the public have helped lead to convictions in 27 cases, resulting in about $317,000 in payouts. The city’s reward offers have steadily grown to roughly 100 rewards a year at a maximum of $75,000 each; about three are collected annually, city officials said. The newspaper also found that other Southland jurisdictions are reluctant to use public funds for crime information, saying they can’t afford it. But authorities in Los Angeles and L.A. County remain convinced the effort is worthwhile if it helps convict even a few criminals. 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.

NHL notes: Boulton’s flagrant hit upsets Tampa Bay
AD Quality Auto 360p 720p 1080p Top articles1/5READ MOREWalnut’s Malik Khouzam voted Southern California Boys Athlete of the Week With the home fans booing the dismal performance, Boulton delivered a flagrant elbow to the side of Ranger’s head. Boulton received a game misconduct, and Ranger staggered off the ice. “I’m not sure how he is,” Tortorella said, shaking his head. Atlanta’s Andy Sutton already is serving a four-game suspension for his hit on Toronto’s Darcy Tucker near the end of a 9-1 loss last Friday. That game turned especially ugly in the third period, beginning with Boulton’s hit on Eric Lindros with the game already long decided. That sparked a melee that led to the ejection of Boulton and two other players. Hotel evacuated: The New York Rangers were forced to evacuate their Long Island hotel just hours before their 5-4 loss to the rival New York Islanders when a man wearing a surgical mask dumped a chemical on the floor and then drove away. The chemical later was found to be harmless, and no one was injured. Dishing it out: The Dish Network pulled OLN from its system after the cable channel failed to provide NHL games to the nation’s second-largest satellite television provider. An EchoStar Communications Corp. spokesman said the network did not show games Oct. 10-11 and Monday and Tuesday as advertised. OLN set a requirement that the channel must be seen by 40 percent of a cable or satellite TV system’s viewers in order for it to broadcast the NHL games. It said Dish Network has failed to meet that requirement. Injury update: Maple Leafs captain Mats Sundin said he’s confident he’ll make a full recovery from his eye injury. Sundin’s lower orbital bone was broken when he was hit in the face by a puck two weeks ago. He said his blurry vision is getting better although he hasn’t ruled out surgery. “It’s all positive at this point. There’s no problems with my vision. It’s going to come back. It’s just a matter of time,” Sundin said. 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations! You’re all set! Atlanta’s Bob Hartley was seen going into Tortorella’s office after the game, but the Tampa Bay coach wouldn’t say what they discussed. “None of your business,” Tortorella said, before storming away to the team bus. Tampa Bay coach John Tortorella launched into an expletive-filled tirade at Atlanta’s Eric Boulton after Thursday’s 6-0 victory in Atlanta, upset that the Lightning’s Paul Ranger was taken out by what he called a cheap shot just 2 minutes from the end of the game. “The … guy should be playing in the … East Coast Hockey League, but instead he takes out a … NHLer,” Tortorella said. “He’ll be suspended, but who … cares? No one wants to see him on the ice anyway.” 
Valley pride
There’s a lot to be proud of in the San Fernando Valley these days. Not that there ever wasn’t, but it was sometimes hard to tell with all the neglect from the rest of the city. Indeed, the Valley has been the historic victim of the bad habits of generations of city leaders who used us as a trash can. Things sure have started to change. The Orange Line busway will open Saturday – the first major public transportation project in Los Angeles since the Red Line subway that barely gets to the Valley. The sensible and attractive 14-mile east-west busway has generated excitement from North Hollywood to Warner Center. Meanwhile, the $43 million Los Angeles Children’s Museum has broken ground at Hansen Dam, and will be the very first major museum located in the Valley. The 57,000-square-foot center’s exhibits were designed by Edwin Schlossberg, and the site promises to be architecturally important and innovative. Once the new performing arts center at California State University, Northridge, opens in 2010, there won’t be a corner of the Valley without some cultural attraction. Throw in the just-opened Air Force One exhibit at the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley (a spiritual, if not geographic, extension of the Valley), and we’ve got the start of a cultural revolution. There’s plenty else to be proud of in this vast region, from the revitalized Van Nuys Boulevard and Valley City Hall to the three city college campuses that each grow and innovate to fit their students’ needs. But these larger projects bring more than the local attention. Residents have always understood the appeal of living on the north side of the Santa Monica Mountains; now others are recognizing it as well. This is a credit to the years of hard work by Valley residents to make their local elected officials and City Hall treat the community with the respect it deserves. The achievements are real signs of progress, but a lot of work remains to be done. The community ought to be encouraged by what’s going on and energized to get better organized to provide the Valley with its fair share of police and other city services. It’s a good time to be a Val, and it will get even better if more people get involved.
