Fearless Iranian youth lead demands for end to ‘bloody’ dictatorship

Georgia Valdes

“ Zan, Zendegi, Azadi” (“Women, Life, Freedom”) is the chant coined by Kurdish women fighting for autonomy in the early 2000s. Today, it is elevated by protest ers in Iran who, despite incredi ble violence and rolling internet shutdowns, demand an end to the Islamic regime following the Sept. 13 arrest and subse quent death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, also known by her Kurdish name Jîna Emînî. Her life ended at the hands of Iranian morality police after detainment for “improperly” wearing her hijab. Once again, young women, and even children, are risking and losing their lives at the front of the charge.

As of this report, protests have spread to at least 19 cities in Iran and 233 have been reported dead, but human rights groups assume more deaths have gone unreported.

“(Military) violence has even reached the point of beating and arresting a pregnant woman in the street and attacking a primary school for girls whose ages are between 7 and 12-13 years old, and their videos have been broadcast on the internet, and there are many reports of arresting high school students in schools,” an anonymous Iranian told Hey SoCal on Oct. 13. “People don’t have any weapons and they fight with their handmade weapons but (the) government uses real weapons, toxic fumes and

bullets.”

The individual’s identity is protected for fear of retribu tion.

Amini’s tombstone Kurdish inscription reads, ¨Jîna gyan to namirî. Nawit ebête remz¨(Beloved Žina (Mahsa), you will not die. Your name will become a code.) “#Mahsaa mini” hit social media and as anger grows so does the outreach, as of this reporting the hashtag use has surged well into the millions. Iranian officials continue to try and block internet access, but tech savvy Iranians have managed to break past barriers to send messages and videos all over the world.

On the ground, to minimize bloodshed and increase demonstrator stamina, protes tors’ tactics have been random ized and sporadic. These types of demonstrations are able to mobilize and scatter quickly. Otherwise, the cause relies on media exposure and attention from the online world commu nity.

“In Iran, everyone helps others in some way. We prevent the arrest of others by informing on social networks, distributing leaflets and the (forming a) wall (around) the leader of the demonstration,” the anonymous source said, “Our concern is the closure of virtual networks and severe filtering of the government's use of violent suppression tools. Communication in Iran at this time has been difficult,

most of the time the internet is completely cut off and it is not possible to bypass filter ing, and some times of the day using some filter breakers it is possible to communicate with low internet speed.”

The U.S. eased internet sanctions on Sept. 23, and President Biden released an Oct. 3 statement support ing protests stating, “This week, the United States will be imposing further costs on perpetrators of violence against peaceful protestors. We will continue holding Iranian officials accountable and supporting the rights of Iranians to protest freely.” This, ANON source said, is not enough. In their opinion, political leaders of Iran should be restricted from traveling and benefiting from Western

economics.

“According to the opinion of the majority of the people of Iran, (Western countries) have supported (the Islamic regime). The president, despite the opposition of the Iranian people in Iran and the Iranians in America, easily travels to America and brings a souvenir truck for his family. Despite the ban on the entry of American goods for ordinary people, even the entry of American vaccines was banned for ordinary people and caused the death of many people in the beginning of the CORONA pandemic. We know that banning (President Ebrahim) Raesi from travel ing to America is against the rules of the United Nations but this person is a criminal and he committed crimes so there is no reason to deal

with him according to law. In addition, many officials and their children have dual citi zenship in the United States and European countries and have bank accounts in the United States…it is the request of the Iranian people, and the United States can say whether it supports the Iranian people for this request or not. Not with words but with actions.”

For Iranians, including Iranian-American academic activist Neyereh Tohidi, profes sor emerita and former chair of gender & women’s studies and the founding director of the Middle Eastern and Islamic studies at Cali fornia State University, North ridge, the issue has moved past the possibility of elected refor mation, and that this mobiliza tion of resistance by the youth

in Iran is on course for possible revolutionary change.

“Many people boycotted the elections because they have become convinced that the elections are not working. This regime is not capable of reforming itself,” she said, “We have 3 million university students. We have 6 million high school children. These are themselves, majority, over whelming majority of them are against this regime. All of them young, fearless and fed up and frustrated and angry. Not only because they have been humiliated, (but) they have been repressed, oppressed (from) having a normal life or living like a young person. Their dress code, what music they listen to, what leisure

LA Council elects Paul Krekorian as president amid continued turmoil

By Eric He/City News Service

The Los Angeles City Council elected Paul Krekorian as its new president Tuesday, follow ing a four-hour meeting that was held virtually due to COVID-19 exposure after last week's meetings were disrupt ed by protesters amid the City Hall racism scandal.

Krekorian will be immedi ately tasked with leading the council through a turbulent stretch, with Councilmen Kevin de León and Gil Cedillo facing intense calls to resign for their involvement in a recorded conversation that included racist comments and discussions over favor able redistricting that led to former Council President Nury Martinez resigning her council seat last week. De León and Cedillo have been under mounting pressure to resign since the release of the tape Oct. 9.

Krekorian -- elected on a 10-0 vote, with de León, Cedillo, Curren Price and Monica Rodriguez absent -- stressed collaboration in his first remarks as council president, in a likely attempt to contrast with Martinez's efforts on the leaked tape to work behind the scenes to consolidate power during redistricting, as well as comments she made insulting her colleagues.

"The presidency will be a collective enterprise," Krekorian said. "It is criti cally important to me that our leadership includes disagree ment. Because that's how we move forward as a community. By listening to each other and working together."

Krekorian, speaking in front of a virtual background of the council chamber, said he will make efforts to reduce the power of the council presi dent.

"The era of unilateral deci sion-making on this council ... that ends today," Krekorian said. "Through this work, we make clear that no one in this city ever again feels excluded or belittled, demeaned or disrespected, or left behind by the people that they elected to represent them."

Krekorian, 62, has served

on the council since 2010 and is in his third term represent ing the 2nd District, which covers a wide swath of the central San Fernando Valley. He chairs the Budget and Finance Committee. Kreko rian previously served in the state Assembly, winning election in 2006 after a 20-year career as an attorney in the private sector.

In what appeared to be an effort to show unity, each of the 10 council members mentioned Krekorian by name as they voted in favor.

Mayor Eric Garcetti applauded Krekorian's election in a statement, calling him a "committed and conscientious leader who can bring a smart, collaborative, and effective approach to a painful moment when Angelenos deserve steady leadership on the City Council."

"I am confident that he'll assemble a leadership team of bridge builders, and I'll work

closely with the council to help heal the wounds caused by the hateful words of a few," Garcetti said.

The vote was preceded by roughly three-and-a-half hours of public comment, with many residents using their time to once again demand that de León and Cedillo step down immedi ately.

The council operated through most of the meeting with 10 members present, the minimum to establish a quorum. Rodriguez left partially through the meeting due to a family emer gency. Price, who was also a contender for the council presidency, did not attend, saying he was protesting the decision to hold the meeting virtually. With de León and Cedillo absent, the meeting would have ended had any remaining member chosen to leave.

"I made a conscious

decision to not attend this morning's council meeting because as a city leader, I could not support a virtual hearing that silenced the public outcry and shut out Angelenos who continue to reel from this breach of trust," Price said in a statement.

Krekorian hinted that Price could play a role in the new council leadership team, stating that Price will play a key role in bridging divisions made worse by the leaked recording.

Councilman Marqueece Harris-Dawson moved to elect Krekorian as president, and it was seconded by Coun cilman Bob Blumenfield.

Harris-Dawson said Krekorian "has a track record of conducting processes to include lots of voices: ones that he agrees with, ones that he doesn't agree with."

"Mr. Krekorian is the right person to lead us right now as council president," Blumen

field said. "But not to rule us, but to lead us. To work with us as a team."

The council also voted to begin the process of placing a measure on the 2024 ballot or sooner that would create an independent redistricting commission for both the city and the Los Angeles Unified School District and to explore a ballot measure that would increase the number of council districts in Los Angeles.

A couple of dozen protest ers gathered outside City Hall, trying to enter the locked building during the meeting and chanting "No resigna tions, no meeting." The protesters were confronted by police in riot gear, and a video posted by Spectrum News on Twitter showed one officer grabbing a protester on the back of the neck to keep him out of the building as another protester was trying to push him into City Hall.

Acting President Mitch

O'Farrell presided over an empty chamber except for staff and media, as the council conducted business for the first time in a week after disruptions forced the adjournment or cancellation of two meetings last week.

Tuesday's meeting came one day after O'Farrell said he would remove de León and Cedillo from their committee assignments.

"This is a moment where the City Council gets to re-earn Los Angeles' trust," said Maia Ferdman, project manager at UCLA's Initiative to Study Hate and a consul tant in intergroup relations, before Tuesday's meeting.

"It's both structural, and it is cultural. This is not just a question of a couple of people on the council. It's also a question of: `Can we trust our leaders?' So there's a lot hanging in this moment right now and how our leaders respond."

Fernando Guerra, profes sor of political science at Loyola Marymount University, told CNS on Monday that the new president should only commit to serving until the elections in November, after which there could be as many as four new council members. Guerra said the new president will have to re-envision the role, especially because of Martinez's resignation.

"A lot of it is about norms, and it always starts at the top," Guerra said. "It's not just a functionary (role) that sets the agenda, makes committee assignments. It's about setting the values, of what the council and the city is all about."

Krekorian pledged to continue holding meetings even if de León and Cedillo continue to resist calls to resign. He said the council can't allow two members who have "dishonored their offices" to hold the business of the city hostage, though he will keep pushing for resignations.

"We cannot wait to continue to do the business of Los Angeles," Krekorian said.

He ended his speech with: "Let's get to work."

Paul Krekorian.

Duplication error results in some Riverside County voters receiving 2 ballots

Some voters in Riverside County will receive two mail-in ballots for the Nov. 8 general election -- a mis take that Registrar of Vot ers Rebecca Spencer said Monday was caught after the ballots had already been mailed.

Tohidi’s research focuses on gender, Islam, and feminism and ethno-religios movements as well as civil society building, democracy and human rights with a focus on Iran and Azerbaijan. She served as a consultant for two UN agencies (UNICEF and UNDP) on issues concern ing children and women’s status in the Caucasus and Middle East. She believes that the intersection of econmic pressure, ethnic (Kurdish) and gender discrimination and the patriarchal regime’s abuse fuels Iranian youth’s anger and resolve in these protests. According to World Bank data, Iran’s 2021 unemployment rate is 11.5% and inflation was at 30.6% in 2020. Yet, worker strikes, including in the oil and petroleum industry, are holding strong for the cause.

“The Regime is afraid of the working class. They need them. So when (the government) try to take on the streets, they get scared,” Tohidi said, “(The) young generation doesn’t see a future for themselves. Their parents (are not) gonna be even able to support them. They have to find work and rely on their own jobs. Unem ployment is rising, especially among women, especially among educated women…they are fighting not only for the dignity (but) for their freedom, but also because economically they have nothing to lose.”

Former president Obama criticised his own response to previous protesting, includ ing the 2009 Iranian Green Movement. Currently, the Biden administration is navigating the possibility of a nuclear deal with Iran but activists call for a pause in negotiations as the uprising continues.

In an interview with PBS’ Firing Line, Iranian journal ist Masih Alinejad said, “You cannot be pro-democracy, you cannot say that we are for women’s rights. You cannot say, we care about freedom of expression, but at the same

Fearless Iranians

time, send billions of dollars to autocracy, to dictators. This nuclear deal is going to empower Revolutionary Guards, the killers, the murder ers. And that is why I’m angry with the U.S. government.”

According to an Oct. 17 HAARETZ report, a nuclear deal is far from occurring. For Tohidi, the movement is only in its beginning and the world should tread carefully so as not to repeat political mistakes, incite state violence or overshadow the voices of the oppressed.

“We don't want to do what we did in Iraq…what (the U.S.) can do is more political support, technological support, which is very important. We really need to compensate (for) this shutdown of the internet. And sure, America can do that with information security, or hacking or all sorts of ways to sabotage the regime. It doesn't have to be like putting soldiers in Iran,” she added, “Of course it is against the national inter ests of Iranians for the regime to have (a) bomb and it is against the national interests of I would say everybody. But on the other hand, if Biden comes into a compromise with the regime and agreement about sanctions, and about this nuclear issue, then they are going to pay lots of money back to Iran. And that money can strengthen this regime. So we are worried about that. It's a tricky question. Honestly, I don't have an answer to that except to say that Biden should wait until this movement becomes stronger. And when the movement becomes stronger, then Biden can have a better negotiation with the regime. Or the regime’s hands become very weak, because when people are uprising against it, they cannot ask for a lot of money. This regime is bloody and has done so many criminal things … it’s really a challenge for many of us to see how we can end this regime

without getting into a civil war or bloodshed.”

Currently, many are left wondering what they can do to support the protesters in Iran. Action items from the Persian diaspora include:

Nationwide protest – Host a protest against the Islamic regime in solidarity.

Donate to support VPNs and other boundary breakers that protesters use to commu nicate with the world through encrypted messaging soft wares such as Telegram.

There are many includ ing the Torproject, a nonprofit organization working to provide private internet access. It provides download instruc tions in many languages including Farsi.

Focused and intentional social media presence. Follow accounts that elevate protester experiences and demands. Many Persian Americans, including actress and writer Nazanin Nour, advocate for this consistent social media engagement for the cause.

Write to senators and U.S. government officials to submit letters to the Biden administration in support of U.N. Investigative Mechanism to investigate crimes against humanity by the Islamic Republic.

Stay up to date on the progress of events and work to understand the history of the Iranian Revolution.

For the diaspora, this pivotal moment is terrifying yet exciting. Persians living outside of Iran work to stay in contact with their loved ones as the world witnesses their bravery.

“We are hopeful, but we are worried too. It is a mixed feeling because it is possible that (the regime) is going to crush this.,” Tohidi said, “But it’s not reversible. Meaning that (the) things that have happened (and) the ideas that have been shared publicly – it has caused a paradigm shift that the regime can’t reverse.”

LA Board to send letter in support of Iranian protesters

By City News Service

The Los Angeles Board of Supervisors agreed Tuesday to send a letter to President Joe Biden in support of protesters in Iran advocat ing for women’s rights and greater social, civil and political freedoms.

Proposed in a motion by Supervisors Hilda Solis and Sheila Kuehl, and unanimously approved by the board, the letter will commend the Biden admin istration for sanctioning Iran’s morality police and security and government officials, and express L.A. County’s opposition to the Iranian government’s efforts to restrict its citizens’ internet access.

The letter will also proclaim the county’s “support of women’s rights in Iran and for Iranians protesting for women’s rights and freedom abroad

and here in the United States.”

Last month, a woman named Mahsa Amini died in police custody in Tehran after being detained and beaten by Iran’s religious morality police for not wearing a hijab properly.

In Iran, women are required by law to wear hijabs in public.

Mass protests around Iran erupted after Amini’s funeral. Under the slogan “women, life, freedom,” protesters have called for a number of reforms, including the end of Iran’s morality police, the end of Iran’s mandatory hijab law, and even the end of the country’s religious govern ment establishment.

Solis said the women and girls leading the protests in Iran are inspiring for the fight for women’s rights everywhere.

L.A. County is home to the largest Iranian popu lation outside of Iran. Sympathy protests and demonstrations in support of the protests in Iran have been regularly held around Southern California since the protests in Iran began.

According to the Iran Human Rights group, 215 people, including 27 children, have been killed by Iranian government forces and Iranian police since the protests began last month.

“This is not just one woman’s case, this is a reform movement now led by young women, old women, all women across all of our different commu nities,” Kuehl said. “I hope that this serves as a wake-up call for oppressive regimes worldwide, and I don’t let us escape in that panoply.”

OPINION

Monrovia Old Town Report: It takes a village

By Shawn Spencer shawn@girlfridaysolutions.net

These past weeks, I have been greeted daily by some of our city staff. They have been busy little bees, as usual. They have been hanging seasonal banners, decorat ing for the fall, trimming, and cleaning. You name it; they have been doing it. This morning, on my way into the office, I saw two staff members scrubbing the sidewalk with soap, water and a scrub brush. I’m used to seeing Athens power washing our sidewalks, so I said, “Helping out Athens today?” They laughed and said, “Nope. Cleaning up after someone’s dog.” Of course, I posted a brief rant on social media to which a kind-hearted neighbor replied, “Maybe it was a coyote.” Seeing the good ... I love our community!

We have department after department of staff dedicated to the upkeep of our town and the enrich ment of our environment. The staff at the Community Center does a spectacular job bringing us family fun events all year long. They work tirelessly to decorate Old Town, staff events for our enjoyment and coor dinate so many different activities and gatherings. I have worked closely with them, and I still have no idea how they do what they do. They are such a gift to our community. The name “Community Center” is so aptly put, but it just does not do them justice. I’d like

to get them all capes with a big M on it.

Our Public Works Department is this city’s secret weapon; its best kept secret. I’m going to out them right now. This brings to mind the old Army slogan from the ‘80s: “We do more before 9 a.m., than most people do all day.” Public Works is responsible for the day-to-day running of the well-oiled machine that is Monrovia: water, sewer, streets, sidewalks, parks, transportation. So much! No one ever says, “Hey, great job!” These are the

people that only get called out when a lightbulb is out or a tree branch is covering a street sign. They should be thanked every day, but we don’t really know they are there because they are THAT good. I love the countdown clock on the city’s website that shows that not only is Public Works working 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, they are responsible for 9,300 water services, 90 miles of streets and 122 acres of parks. Thank you so much!

Obviously, my space here is limited and I cannot

thank every city staff member. Our council is made up of five incredible members that genuinely care about this city and us, its residents. We are truly blessed to have amazing police and fire depart ments. They are all wonder ful, hardworking, caring and dedicated to our safety and well-being. Our police and fire chiefs Alan Sanvic tores and Jeremy Sanchez are exceptional leaders of exceptional teams. We also have a Community Devel opment Department that takes immense pride in

maintaining the integrity, history and charm of our beautiful city. Monrovia is proud to be McMansionfree. The Gem of the Foot hills, for sure!

Again, I can’t mention every staff member here. Each person plays an integral role in making Monrovia so very special. Each person deserves a sincere thank you. I will, however, end this Hallmark Special with a shout out to one city staffer in particular: Mr. Dylan Feik. He joined us in 2019 and Monrovia said, “Hold

my beer.” He was tossed into the deep end with the Bobcat Fire and then COVID. Dylan has proven to be a thoughtful, caring and extraordinary city manager. He is calm, cool and collected under pressure. He is compassionate and he makes himself avail able to all. He is not just an employee of Monrovia, he is a community member, a neighbor. I know I am not alone when I say how lucky we are to have him repre sent Monrovia. Thank you, Dylan. For all that you do! You are a class act.

RE: ‘Nury Martinez resigns from LA City Council …’ (Oct. 13 issue)

If those three repentant politicians, Nury Martinez, Kevin de León and Gil Cedillo, are sincerely remorseful for

displaying their bigotry, they should do something exem plary to redeem themselves — besides saying how sorry they are.

Those three office holders have achieved laudable success in their political careers — but like

Send your letters to tmiller@beaconmedianews.com - Please be brief.

many others, they too have fallen from grace.

Nevertheless, their serious blunders should not, in my opinion, permanently close the curtain on the stage of their life. So, like a terrible accident or a serious illness from which the patient

takes a long time to recover, anyone who causes his own downfall must make diligent efforts to restore his (or her) good name.

If I were Martinez, De León, or Cedillo, this is what I’d do to gradually recover my reputation: I’d become

a social worker or a teacher, and insist on working in poor Black neighborhoods.

I’m sure that the Black folks I’d help, or the parents of the Black children I taught, would not only forgive my trespasses, but they’d grow to love me as much as the

father of the prodigal son loved him when he returned home after he had strayed from the right path. From my own experi ence, most people have the gift of forgiving.

‘Meet in Shanghai, Share the Future’ conference in LA previews 5th annual China International Import Expo

The fifth China Interna tional Import Expo (CIIEE) will be hosted in Shanghai on Nov. 5, 2022 which is the key event highlighted during the “Meet in Shanghai, Share the Future” confer ence.

To address the upcoming China International Import Expo and send a warm welcome to California’s participating enterprises and organizations, the “Meet in Shanghai, Share the Future” conference was hosted on Oct. 13 in downtown Los Angeles by the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce and co-organized by World Trade Center Los Angeles and Shanghai Foreign Investment Development board. The conference aimed to promote trade between Los Angeles and Shanghai, which are the twin cities of trade, business, and culture. Bringing together over 80 change makers, the list included the representative of the CIIE exhibitors, Cali fornia state and county offi cials, Chinese government consulates, and industry leaders from both countries.

Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles Erin Bromaghim expressed that Shanghai and LA, the two largest

ports of their countries, have many great oppor tunities to work with one another. In her address, she summarized the feats of LA’s technological advancement in develop

ing clean energy transpor tation, such as the newly opened K Line. Bromaghim highlighted advancements in the manufacturing industry for fashion and tech as well as the sports

entertainment industry. Through these highlights, she acknowledged and encouraged the strength ening of the bond between the U.S. and China.

Martin Breidspre

cher, COO of the LA Area Chamber of Commerce, pointed out that the LA Chamber of Commerce has been dedicated to facilitat ing international trading and providing access,

advocacy and support to local businesses since 1888.

Trading between China and California has been notable in both import and exports. Last year, China was Cali fornia’s third largest export destination, bringing in approximately $150 billion.

Michael McClune, senior director of international trade of WTCLA, demon strated how the investments from LA and Shanghai have been proactively facilitat ing the economy of both regions. Chinese companies such as Tencent, Wanda, and Alibaba are paying an estimated $290 million in wages. Conversely, American companies like Disney and Tesla are launch ing business initiatives in Shanghai. McClune hopes that more U.S. companies would go into China to expand their business.

Andre Morgan, co-chair of CAFF and CATF, producer of Academy Award-winning film “Million Dollar Baby,” said that for anyone consid ering doing business in China, he would recommend starting in Shanghai. The municipal government is very thorough and proac tive in encouraging the growth of international businesses.

Newsom says COVID-19 emergency declaration to end in February

By City News Service

California's COVID-19 state of emergency will be lifted on Feb. 28, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Monday, saying the timeline will ensure the state's healthcare system can withstand any possible winter surge of virus infec tions.

According to Newsom's office, the timeline will also give state and local officials time to prepare for the phaseout.

"Throughout the pandemic, we've been guided by the science and data -moving quickly and strategi

cally to save lives," Newsom said in a statement. "The state of emergency was an effective and necessary tool that we utilized to protect our state, and we wouldn't have gotten to this point without it. With the operational prepared ness that we've built up and the measures that we'll continue to employ moving forward, California is ready to phase out this tool."

The emergency decla ration, imposed at the onset of the pandemic, was aimed at expediting state

acquisition of materials such as personal protective equipment and setting up

testing centers and later vaccination locations.

According to the gover

nor's office, the state has administered roughly 81 million vaccine doses, distributed 1 billion units of PPE and processed 186 million tests, while also allocating billions of dollars to hospitals, commu nity groups and schools to respond to the pandemic -- as well as distribut ing billions of dollars in stimulus payments to resi dents, renters and small businesses.

When the state Legisla ture reconvenes, Newsom will seek statutory changes allowing nurses to continue

dispending COVID-19 therapeutics and continue allowing laboratory workers to solely process COVID-19 tests.

"California's response to the COVID-19 pandemic has prepared us for whatever comes next," state Health & Human Services Agency Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said in a statement. "As we move into this next phase, the infrastruc ture and processes we've invested in and built up will provide us the tools to manage any ups and downs in the future."

Alex Villanueva: Latest whistleblower case ‘yet another frivolous lawsuit’

By City News Service

Sheriff Alex Villanueva responded Tuesday to the latest whistle blower case brought against him as well as Los Angeles County, calling a sheriff's lieutenant's allegation Villan ueva quashed an investiga tion into a police dog's death part of "yet another frivolous lawsuit."

Lt. Joseph Garrido's Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit was filed Monday and alleges whistleblower retaliation, civil rights violations, violation of the state Civil Code, intention al infliction of emotional distress, defamation, false light and defamation.

Garrido seeks at least $5 million in general damages and another $5 million in special damages.

In a response with a caption, "Advisory: Yet Another Frivolous Lawsuit," Villanueva downplayed Garrido's case.

"Several months after a criminal and administra tive investigation began regarding alleged miscon duct by Joseph Garrido, he has filed a lawsuit and claimed whistleblower status," Villanueva said. " Absent from this lawsuit is any explanation as to

why Mr. Garrido suppos edly witnessed misconduct, yet took no action for years until after he was under investigation."

Garrido worked in the Special Enforcement Bureau and oversaw the Canine Services and Special Enforcement details. His lawsuit states that he supported and donated money to the campaign of one of Villanueva's rivals, retired sheriff's depart ment veteran Eli Vera, in the June primary; spoke out against the denial of explosive breacher pay to some deputies, forcing the department to shell out $3 million; and reported the death of a police dog, Spike, who allegedly succumbed to overheating after being left in a hot car by his sher iff's department sergeant handler.

Garrido alleges Villan ueva quashed an investiga tion into the dog's death to avoid "bad media" for himself and the department.

"Shockingly, Villanueva did not even do a tribute, internally at LASD and/ or publicly, for Spike, and talk of Spike's years of loyal service before his tragic death," Garrido's court

papers state.

In retaliation, the department reversed a promotion Garrido had been granted, made the plaintiff the subject of a trumped up criminal investigation and told his neighbors in a letter that he had stolen a vehicle, destroying his career and slandering his name, his court papers state.

But a copy of a memo attached to Villanueva's statement explains that a sheriff's department captain reviewed the animal's death and concluded that the sergeant "followed the protocols" in place for all police dog handlers and was not negligent. The sergeant's car had previ ously had problems with its air conditioning, according to the memo.

According to Garrido's lawsuit, his emotional distress has kept him out of work for months and he has been "constructively termi nated" by the county.

Cmdr. Allen Castellano, former Assistant Sheriff Robin Limon and retired Chief LaJuana Haselrig are among those who have also filed whistleblower lawsuits against the county and Villanueva.

City of Monrovia Monrovia City Council 415 South Ivy Avenue Monrovia, CA 91016

In conjunction with this Housing Element Update, the City is also undertaking an update to the General Plan's Safety Element to align it with recently enacted State Laws and adopt new climate adapta tion and wildfire strategies. Lastly, the City developed a new En vironmental Justice Element for the General Plan to comply with Senate Bill (SB 1000) and Senate Bill (SB 244). The purpose of the Environmental Justice Element is to address public health risks and environmental justice concerns of those living in disadvantaged communities as defined in Government Code, §65302(h)(4)(A), many of which are the result of geographic or procedural inequities. Since these policy documents do not specifically authorize the con struction of any development, nor do these documents specifically indicate where and when specific housing projects will occur, this Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) examines the potential environmental impacts at a programmatic level.

ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS: Environmental issues related to the proposed project were fully analyzed in the IS/MND, which is a document that provides the public and decision makers with specific information regarding the environmental effects associated with the project. The IS/MND also identifies mitigation measures that will re duce the project's potentially significant effects.

A public hearing will be held by the City Council of the City of Monrovia at 7:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter as possible on Tuesday, November 1, 2022 to consider adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) and the adoption of the Focused General Plan Update which includes the 2021 2029 Housing Element Update, the new Environmental Justice Element, and the Safety Element Update.

Adjusting your spending to deal with inflation

It’s no secret that many Americans are experienc ing shrinking savings as high inflation persists. While many people have come to terms with rising costs, there are minor adjustments that can make a big difference to help reduce the sting on your finances. Here are some tactics to consider.

Pare back on convenience services. During the pandemic, many of us turned to conve nience services that come at an extra cost. Did you get in the habit of takeout delivery from your favorite restaurants? Are you paying to have your groceries delivered? Are you shopping online and spending extra for shipping? You might be surprised by how you can save by running your own errands.

Cancel unused subscrip tions and memberships. Do you subscribe to multiple stream ing services? Are you getting packages in the mail from box subscriptions that became popular during lockdown? Are you paying for one or more club memberships that you’re not using? Decide what you can live without, then cancel any that aren’t necessary and keep more dollars in your bank account each month.

Look for deals. Talk to your cell phone provider to review your plan. Shop around for better rates on home and auto insurance and bundle if it makes sense. Consider eliminating cable or satellite if you can get by with a cheaper entertainment alternative. Coupons, rebates, and thrift ing are back in fashion.

Don’t pay for your own money. Stop paying conve nience fees charged by many ATMs. Check with your bank to locate cash machines with no fees. Many grocery stores offer cash back options if you need a few bills in your wallet.

Avoid late fees. Pay your bills on time to avoid late fees. Enroll in automated payments whenever possible so you don’t have to worry about forgetting payment deadlines.

Postpone big-ticket purchases. If your vehicle is still a good runner, and your appliances are working, put off plans to trade in for newer models. With prices surging, you’ll pay top dollar for inven tory that is still scarce due to supply chain challenges. For financed purchases, higher interest rates will drive up your overall cost.

Stick to the essentials. If you can curtail indulgences,

for now, you’ll do your budget a favor. If you’re going to the store, make a shopping list to resist impulse buys.

Review your housing expense. You may not have much control over your monthly rent or mortgage payment, but you can address the extras. It may be time to let go of your covered parking space or the extra storage unit. Consider getting a roommate to share costs. Downsize if you can no longer afford your current living arrangement.

There’s no way to know just how long this period of high inflation will last. Never theless, taking these steps can help you save money.
