For nearly 20 years, the stepsons of Palisades Media Group CEO Roger Schaffner were employed at his ad agency. There was just one problem. Managers at the now-defunct company say the stepsons didn’t perform their duties and rarely showed up for work. lat.ms/3wb9ize
They said the same thing about another person close to the CEO: his housekeeper. Former employees said they were unaware what work she actually performed at the once prominent player in the Hollywood advertising business. lat.ms/3wb9ize
One of the two stepsons was a creative designer and the other was an account coordinator, according to an organization chart. They were each paid $65,000 a year, said a person with direct knowledge of their compensation. lat.ms/3wb9ize

Jose Diaz’s grave lies in an elevated section of Calvary Cemetery in East Los Angeles, with views of the 60 Freeway and the Metro Gold Line. From here, you can see a good section of the Eastside.
What you can’t sense from here is how Diaz’s death profoundly changed L.A. His final resting place is one of thousands of long-forgotten tombs in one of the city’s oldest cemeteries.
On Aug. 2, 1942, the 22-year-old was found on the side of a road in what’s now Montebello with a fractured skull, a broken finger, pants pockets turned inside out and stab wounds to his abdomen. Diaz, who had just left a party where a fight broke out, died hours later.
Amid a heat wave that could push temperatures to 110 degrees in some areas of California, power grid officials issued a statewide Flex Alert for Wednesday.
The alert, which is a call for voluntary electricity conservation, will be in effect from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., officials with the California Independent System Operator said.
The eastbound lanes of the 210 between the 605 Freeway and Irwindale Avenue will shut down from 10 p.m. on Wednesday and the closure is expected to last through 5 a.m. on Tuesday.
The TV production class at El Monte’s Mountain View High School caught 14-year-old Cris Abrego’s attention — only he thought he’d be learning how to build TV sets.
“When I found that it was actually to make television, I was blown away,” Abrego said. lat.ms/3PtLA8c
That class would prove instrumental in shaping ambitions that would take him beyond El Monte.
Today, Abrego is one of Hollywood’s few high-ranking Latino executives, overseeing U.S. and Latin American operations for reality TV juggernaut @banijaygroup. lat.ms/3PtLA8c
“I’ve seen how hard it is to get into this business,” Abrego said.
He’s also familiar with assumptions made about Latinos. “I’ve had enough keys thrown at me while standing by a valet stand.” lat.ms/3PtLA8c
