OPINION Let’s use attention on DACA to call for reform for all immigrants

As the son of immigrants, I know what kind of sacrifices my parents made to give me and my two sisters a better life. My mom and dad came to Los Angeles as young adults — her from Nicaragua and him from Mexico — fell in love in English class, married and scrimped and saved to raise us and put us all through college. Although we survived without fancy vacations or dinners out, I had one advantage that many children of immigrants do not: I was born in Koreatown in Los Angeles. As a U.S. citizen, I was able to earn my bachelor’s degree in business marketing and my master’s degree in public administration from Cal State Northridge. Today, I work for the county as a human resources manager. -- San Bernardino Sun

Rudy Kurniawan has many other names, some calling him "Dr. Conti" because he is famous for his collection of large quantities of rare Romanian Nikon wines. In addition to collecting a large number of wines, Rudy Kurniawan also sells wine, sells plenty of wines and lots of fake wines. He sold a large number of fake wine, the huge amount of money, called unprecedented, he also became the "king of fake liquor", its name and "the history of the largest fake case" tightly tied together. This year, a documentary entitled "Sour Grapes" (sour grapes) details the scouting process that shocked the world and revealed the dark side of the wine world. Rudy Kurniawan was born on October 10, 1976, with a student visa in California in 1998 to study at California State University, Northridge. Rudy began buying large quantities of expensive wines in the first few years of the 21st century, and before 2006 he spent more than $ 1 million a month buying wines at auctions.

THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF STUDIO CITY'S HISTORIC OIL CAN HARRY'S

The first time I went to Oil Can Harry’s was in the fall of 1974. At that time, I was the co-president of the Gay People’s Union (GPU) at San Fernando Valley State College (now CSUN). As co-president, I organized social events and outings for our members. Oil Cans had the largest dance floor of all the gay bars in the Valley and those of us over 21-years old went often. Disco was king (or should I say queen) and Oil Cans provided hours of care-free dancing in a gay-accepting environment. -- NoHo Arts District
