UC, Union continue negotiations following strike

By City News Service

Negotiations continue in the effort to end the strike by University of Cali fornia teaching assistants, graduate student instructors, tutors and readers.

About 48,000 workers, including 17,000 student researchers, at UCLA, UC Irvine, the eight other Univer sity of California campuses and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory went on strike Monday, seeking higher salaries and greater annual raises, free public transit passes, improved child care benefits and greater job security.

The strike is the nation's largest since 2019, the largest at any academic institu tion, and first by postdoc toral scholars and academic researchers, according to local president Rafael Jaime.

"The current univer sity proposal would set the standard for graduate academic employee support among public research universities," Ryan King, associate director of media relations, University of Cali fornia Office of the President, said in a statement. "Under our proposals, wages for UC academic employees would be among the top of the pay scale among the top public research universities, and more comparable to private universities such as Harvard, MIT, and USC."

Negotiators for the UAW

Local 2865 and the university system on Tuesday discussed benefits related to green

transit, according to local president Rafael Jaime. The union has proposed public

transit passes, subsidies for the use and purchase of bikes and e-bikes, and other incentives for the use of alternative transportation.

University negotiators said they are still discuss ing e-bike discounts with their vendors and would "make efforts" to establish

transit passes, according to Jaime. The union proposed a compromise in the hope of reaching an agreement.

"The university contin ues to negotiate with flex ibility and an open mind," King stated.

More than 50 negotiat ing sessions have been held, many taking place over Zoom, including Tuesday's.

The university has proposed to the union

"enlisting the assistance of a neutral private mediator so that we can achieve a compromise,” King’s state ment read.

“...At this point, the priority should be round the clock bargaining in good faith as opposed to switch ing to a mediation process. We remain willing and able to meet with the university on an ongoing basis to reach a resolution,” Jaime said.

TRAVEL

Chun Shui Tang: Home of the humble boba drink

By Eloin Barahona Garcia eloinbarahona@yahoo.com

In the heart of Taichung, Taiwan is where the roots of a teahouse chain called Chun Shui Tang lie. Located in the western part of the city, the original Chun Shui Tang teahouse sits on a modest street, surrounded by modern offices and busi nesses. On first glance, it looks like a novelty, like something that belongs in a different time period. But in reality, Chun Shui Tang is the purported birthplace of one of the most popular drinks in the world: boba drinks.

As an alternative to the many Starbucks and coffee shops in the States, boba drinks have been a welcome choice. The boba pearls are chewy and slightly sweet, adding texture to the act of drinking iced drinks. When coupled with tea, which isn’t as sweet, the taste is subtle and pleasant. There’s a variety of colors and styles of boba these days, but the classic dark brown pearls are the go-to for many.

The creation of boba drinks for Chun Shui Tang dates back to the 1980s, when founder Han-chieh Liu got the idea after return ing home from a trip to Japan. After being served cold coffee, Liu thought of attempting the same at home with tea instead. Once iced tea became a staple of the teahouse, there was a desire to continue innovat ing further. The revelation of iced tea created the building blocks of what would come next.

Xiuhui Lin, a manager at Chun Shui Tang in 1985, continued to experiment with what could be done with iced tea by mixing in tapioca pearls. One day of experi mentation led to the creation of the now famous drink that is known worldwide. These days, you can go to any corner of Southern Cali fornia and find a shop that sells boba drinks. They’ve expanded from simple iced teas to juices and blended drinks; you’ll almost always be able to add as much boba as you want to them.

But Chun Shui Tang

continues to be the original, authentic way to enjoy boba drinks. A sit down experi ence at the aging teahouse is unlike anything. It trumps what many tea shops in the States offer, simply because its approach is a bit more

refined. The exterior of the shop looks rustic with the giant wooden sign outside and aging architecture. But that rustic charm is only there to bolster your dining experience.

Entering the doors of the

shop leads you to a world where the past and present combine into a pleasant, homey environment. You can sit outside and enjoy the peaceful streets of Taichung while sipping on some milk tea, but the interior is worth walking into. The architecture is equal parts wood and concrete and they combine nicely to create a relaxing atmosphere for the customer.

The workers are

constantly attending to customers and working briskly to bring orders out in a timely manner. Know that if you order here, you’re likely to get your food and drink promptly. The front and back of the store are segmented, with a tasteful fountain that adorns the furthest corner of the store. The back of the store has an invitation written on the wall for visitors to try and create their own drinks in a

class that the tea shop offers. You’ll want to learn after experiencing Chun Shui Tang’s famous iced teas with boba mixed in.

While most places serve you your drink in a plastic sealed cup with a thick straw, Chun Shui Tang opts for a fountain glass. While it might seem like a slight difference, the change from plastic to glass enhances the experi ence just a bit more. The size of the fountain glass makes you feel like you’re getting your money’s worth and the way milk tea froths slightly just adds some aesthetic appeal to your drink. The milk tea is made in a shaker as opposed to being poured out from a container, which creates the aforementioned froth that the tea has.

When you couple the excellent boba drinks with the food offerings the shop has, the visit to Chun Shui Tang feels absolutely complete. It’s easy to not think too hard about the value of some good french fries or fried chicken pieces, but you will after trying them here. For anyone who wants actual food, don’t worry because the store is ready to accommodate you. The noodle dishes on offer are fantastic and include dry (noodles without broth) and soup noodles. Biting into some hot noodles while enjoying boba milk tea is simply fantastic.

The curious traveler should definitely make a stop in Taichung to experience what Chun Shui Tang has to offer. The popularity of boba drinks cannot be understated and as such, a visit to Chun Shui Tang is a must when visiting Taiwan. Exploring the origins of such an iconic style of drink is almost neces sary for any foodies that pride themselves on their taste for boba drinks. The tea shop may have many loca tions in Taiwan and abroad, but its roots are all the more interesting to visit in such a humble area as Taichung.

Pasadena Department of Transportation receives $187K bicyclist safety grant

By City News Service

The City of Pasadena Department of Trans portation’s efforts to enhance safety for bicy clists citywide has received a financial boost thanks to a $187,000 grant from the Cali fornia Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) for its Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program.

The grant funds will be used for a pedestrian and bicyclist safety outreach program to help raise aware ness of the dangers and consequences of vehicular speeding.

A November 2020 study on traffic patterns conduct ed by Department of Trans portation staff found that average speeds were at least 1 to 2 miles per hour faster during post-Safer at Home Order months compared to the same time in 2019 and remains faster to this day.

These increased speeds had a measurable effect on pedestrian- and bicycleinvolved crash data.

Transportation data from 2019-21 revealed that speeding is a growing primary collision factor in pedes trian- and bicycle-involved crashes. Unsafe speed rose as a primary collision factor in these crashes to 15.4%, up 5.5% from 2019.

Education and outreach efforts funded by the OTS grant will help promote safe driving behaviors by emphasizing the need to drive at safe speeds in order to keep all road users safe. Safety infor mation will be distributed to community members at high-traffic locations across the city. Physical media, such as transit signage, will also be utilized, and digital outreach materials will be

shared across the City’s social media channels.

This grant will be administered in coordina tion with the OTS grant that was recently awarded to Pasadena Police Depart ment.

The OTS grant also provides for a traffic database software upgrade that will allow transporta tion staff to better analyze and evaluate traffic safety behavioral data at locations where pedestrians, bicy clists and motorists travel.

Both the educa tion outreach and traffic database upgrade provide an opportunity for the City of Pasadena to potentially reduce the percentage of pedestrian- and bicyclistinvolved collisions, and reduce the number of fatali ties and severe injuries.

Rex Richardson to become Long Beach's 1st Black mayor

By City News Service

Long Beach City Coun cilman Rex Richardson will be the city's first Black mayor, with Council woman Suzie Price conceding the race Tuesday.

Richardson, who is the city's vice mayor, had 42,697 votes in Monday's update, compared to 34,531 for Price, a lead of 55.29% to 44.71%.

"The votes are still being counted in all of the LA County races, including the Long Beach mayor's race. And, although there remain an unknown number of votes still to be tallied, the trend is going in the wrong direction for our campaign," Price said in a statement. "It appears that the people of Long Beach have spoken and selected Vice Mayor Richardson as our next mayor. I wish him nothing but success on the journey ahead.

"I am incredibly proud of the campaign that we ran and how hard each and every one of our supporters, staff, friends and family worked to fight for what they believed in. As a young kid trying to learn a new language in a

new country, I could never have dreamed of running for mayor in one of this country's greatest cities. This is the essence of democracy and the heart of the American dream.

"I love the city and will always work hard to make it a better place," added Price, 49.

A short time after Price's concession, the 39-year-old Richardson issued a state ment proclaiming victory.

"Long Beach voters had a choice between two public servants who have worked every day to make our communities a better place to work, live, and raise a family," he said. "I want to commend Council member Suzie Price for sharing her ideas for the future of our city. She and I share a love for Long Beach and want to ensure every resident is safe and thriving. I look forward to collaborating with her and her supporters to unify our city and move us forward.

As Long Beach's next Mayor, I will focus on tackling our city's biggest challenges and working daily to make City Hall more responsive to resi dents' needs. I look forward to

getting started with our tran sition."

Richardson will replace Robert Garcia, who was elected the U.S. House of Representa tives in California's 42nd District last Tuesday after serving two terms as Long Beach's mayor.

A former student body pres ident at Cal State Dominguez Hills and union organizer, Rich ardson became the youngest

person to serve on the Long Beach City Council after his election in 2014.

He lives in North Long Beach with his wife and two daughters. He is expected to be sworn in on Dec. 20.

Price, a former criminal prosecutor and victims' rights advocate, was also elected to the Long Beach City Council in 2014.

Pasadena’s Mark Ladd appointed as superintendent of Hollywood Bowl

By City News Service

The Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation has appointed Mark Ladd to serve as superintendent of the Hollywood Bowl, officials announced.

"It is a great honor to receive this appointment," Ladd said following Friday's announcement. "I look forward to serving in a stew ardship role and continuing the tradition of constant improvement at this historic facility."

Since 1994, Ladd has served in the dual role of assis tant superintendent for the venue and associate director of Hollywood Bowl Opera tions, where he was recently promoted to director.

The Hollywood Bowl is managed on behalf of Los Angeles County by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Asso ciation.

"We are delighted that Mark Ladd has been promoted to serve as only the third ever appointee to hold the position of Superintendent, Hollywood Bowl," said Chad Smith and David Bohnett, CEO and CEO Chair, respectively, of LA Phil. "His incredible knowledge and passion for the iconic Hollywood Bowl will continue to serve audiences and artists

alike as we move into the second century of this beloved Southern California venue's tradition."

Prior to joining the Holly wood Bowl staff, Ladd was the operations coordinator at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and Sports Arena. His experience also includes several New Year's Day Rose Bowl Games, multiple Super Bowls, and the 1984 Olympics, according to officials with Los Angeles County Parks & Recreation.

He lives in Pasadena, is married and has two adult children.

"I am excited about the appointment of Mark Ladd as the director superintendent of the Hollywood Bowl," County Supervisor Kathryn Barger said. "This beloved perfor mance venue is an asset in the Fifth District that requires thoughtful stewardship. Mark offers a long history of committed service to the Bowl and its visitors. I look forward to working with him so that we can continue our coordinated community engagement strat egies. I am pleased we share a common vision, and both prioritize soliciting communi ty feedback to address sound, traffic, and long-term mitiga tion projects."

Villanueva lashes out at critics, concedes defeat

By City News Service

Adefiant Sheriff Alex Villaneuva conceded defeat Tuesday, Nov. 15 in his re-election bid, but in doing so, he again lashed out at his critics for pushing what he called "false narratives" about his leadership of the department.

Villanueva has been consistently trailing former Long Beach police Chief Robert Luna as results from last week's election continued to be tallied. Updated vote totals released Monday by the county Registrar-Recorder/ County Clerk's Office showed Luna with a lead of 324,837 votes, up from 259,184 when the last update was released on Saturday.

The results from last Tues day's election currently stand at 987,730 votes for Luna, or 59.8%, and 662,893 for Villan ueva, or 40.2%.

There are an estimated 655,300 ballots left to be processed, according to the clerk's office. Another update of the voting totals is expected to be released Tuesday after noon.

"I want to wish the incoming sheriff well," Villan ueva said during an afternoon news conference. "I want him to succeed for a simple reason -- the safety of the community depends on him succeeding. The welfare of every single person on the department depends on him succeeding.

"... Again, we wish Mr. Luna well, and like I said before, the narrative of the political establishment and the media is not the narrative of the people who are strug gling to survive day by day. ... That disconnect is real."

He added, "One thing I've learned also is that speaking truth to power is not without risks. I remember a politician that I met early on, they told me you can be a reformer or you can be reelected. You've got to pick one. I'm proud to say I'm a reformer. I have no desire to abandon who I am, my principles, just to get elected.

" ... I've faced adversity throughout my career in law enforcement because I've always spoke truth to power,

never batted an eye. And in our meetings, our executive meetings, every meeting that we had when we had to make a decision the very first thing was, `what's the right thing to do.' And the second thing was, OK, make it happen. ... Every adversity I've faced through out my years in law enforce ment has always propelled me to a bigger stage, a bigger audience and a bigger voice."

Villanueva's voice cracked slightly with emotion as he wrapped up his roughly 20-minute remarks, saying, "If there are people who think somehow we're defeated, quite the opposite. We're walking out of here with our heads high. We accomplished the mission we set out to be, we could have used probably four more years to solidify it, but we set a very high standard."

Following Villanueva's concession, Luna issued a statement, starting with "Thank you, L.A. County."

"I'm deeply honored and humbled that you have elected me as your next sheriff. With your vote, you have entrusted me with a clear mandate to bring new leadership and accountability to the sher iff's department. And that's exactly what I will do.

"I want to offer my best wishes to Sheriff Villanueva and his family. And I look forward to working with the talented and courageous sworn and professional staff of the sheriff's department who are dedicated to keeping our communities safe."

During his concession news conference, Villanueva blamed his loss on what he called a sweeping misinfor mation campaign and the use of "false narratives" focused on issues including alleged deputy gangs, his alleged resistance of oversight by the county and Civilian Oversight Commission and other alle gations of internal harass ment and retaliation against purported whistleblowers.

He said he was victimized by a "weaponized political machine" operated by the county, which he described as a "corrupt criminal enterprise."

He then rattled off a

list of what he called major accomplishments during his tenure, including address ing homelessness, revising body-worn camera program, reinstating the issuance of concealed weapon permits and managing the jail system during the COVID-19 pandemic.

His defeat marks the second straight election in which an incumbent sheriff was unseated, something that hadn't occurred for roughly a century prior. Villaneuva ousted Sheriff Jim McDonnell four years ago.

The candidates ran a spirited campaign, with Luna attacking the incumbent over his torrid relationship with the county Board of Super visors and accusing him of ignoring the issue of deputy gangs within the department. Villanueva has deflected such criticism, saying his battles with the board show he is a fierce defender of the depart ment and its deputies, and insisting that he has gone to great lengths to attack and ban alleged deputy cliques in the agency.

Villanueva's victory four years ago came with strong backing from reformminded community groups and Democrats. But over the past four years, Villanueva's support among those groups has waned as he repeatedly clashed with the Democratdominated Board of Supervi sors over funding and policy

matters.

Villanueva has also repeatedly defied subpoenas to appear before the Civilian Oversight Commission and refused to enforce the county's COVID-19 vaccination mandate among his deputies and department employees.

Luna has argued during the campaign that the sheriff's department is being "misman aged" by Villanueva and said he will work to restore trust in the agency. He also touted his position as an outsider with no connections to the sheriff's department.

Luna said he will work to "modernize" the sheriff's department and its jail system and improve the mental wellbeing of deputies and employ ees.

Andrés Dae Keun Kwon, policy counsel and senior organizer with the ACLU of Southern California -- which has been critical of Villan ueva's leadership -- issued a statement hailing the vote.

"The people of L.A. County have spoken," Kwon said. "Sheriff Villanueva's removal from office, coupled with the overwhelming approval of Measure A, is an indictment of the sheriff's abuse of authority and a clear mandate for real sheriff accountability."

Measure A, approved on last week's ballot, gives the county Board of Supervisors the authority to remove an elected sheriff from office "for cause."

In her ruling of Nov. 5, Superior Court Judge Elaine Lu explained that Sheriff Alex Villanueva ignored three subpoenas in 2021 to testify before the Civilian Oversight Commission, which required him to provide sworn testi mony.

And LA County attorney Harvinder Anand wrote: “Indeed. Sheriff Villanueva has flatly declared he will not agree to be placed under oath under any circumstance.”

Conversely, Villanueva’s attorney stated that “the COC’s demand that the sheriff testify under oath is inexpli cable because the sheriff has agreed to voluntarily appear …”

This is very perplexing: If the sheriff has now agreed to testify (under oath, how else?) why did he not agree to testify in 2021?

Moreover, is Villanueva trustworthy? If he now has

agreed to voluntarily appear, why did Judge Lu have to issue an order directing him to be in court on Dec. 12 to show why he should not be held in contempt of the subpoenas …? Well, obvi ously because he preferred to wipe his nose with the three previous subpoenas.

In all societies (both prim itive and civilized) throughout history, people in authority are deemed worthy of respect – but only if they deserve it. And to earn respect, their first obligation is to obey the law.

So why does Villanueva, of all people, have contempt for the law? He must know that a subpoena is “a writ command ing a person designated in it to appear in court; sub poena.”

I trust that he learned at the police academy that “sub poena” is a Latin term used in American jurispru dence which means “under penalty.” So why was he not penalized back in 2021? What then made him above the law?

California provides $15M grant to support 500 unhoused women on Skid Row

By City News Service

The state of Califor nia is providing $15 million in funding to support 500 unhoused women living on Skid Row, officials announced Tuesday.

The funding is the state's first direct investment in Skid Row, according to Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's office.

Delivered through the state's Encampment Resolu tion Funding Program, the money will be used to provide outreach and services that include housing and health care. It is expected to help two-thirds of the unhoused women and their families living on Skid Row, officials said.

"Skid Row is the epicenter of the homelessness crisis in

our city -- and we're bringing every available resource to bear in serving our unhoused neighbors in this commu nity," Garcetti said. "This investment will help to bring the safety and stability that every Angeleno deserves to hundreds of women and their families."

The state program was created to help fund local efforts to ensure the safety and well being of people living in encampments. The grant can be used for services such as outreach, engage ment, housing navigation and workforce development.

The funding came together through a partner ship with the state, the city and county of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Homeless

Services Authority and Downtown Women's Center.

Stephen David Simon, interim executive director of LAHSA, said the funding continues "significant invest ment and goal alignment" between the state, city and county that took place during the coronavirus pandemic.

"I am extremely grateful to Governor Newsom for this funding, which will change the lives of hundreds of women and their families in Skid Row," Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis said. "I look forward to continuing our work with the city of Los Angeles, the state, and our nonprofit partners to offer pathways to permanent housing options for the Skid Row community."

This story was originally published by ProPublica.

The price of oil produced in Califor nia this year reached its highest level in a decade. President Joe Biden is releas ing millions of barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to keep prices in check. And fossil fuel compa nies’ earnings are so high that Gov. Gavin Newsom has called for a windfall tax on their profits.

It might seem like a lucra tive time to drill for oil in the Golden State. Yet, some of the world’s largest oil companies, several of which have done business in the state for more than a century, are selling assets and beginning to pull out of California.

Even with strong cash flow in the short term, produc ers have more to gain from offloading wells and the associated liability — chiefly expensive environmental cleanup — than from pumping more oil and gas, experts say.

By Mark Olalde, Co-published with Los Angeles Times

“This is the kind of deal you see when an industry is in its twilight,” said Andrew Logan, senior director for oil and gas at Ceres, a nonprofit focused on sustainability in companies and markets.

Some industry experts, lawmakers and environmen talists are concerned about the recent deals, noting that the sales shift environmen tal liability from corporate powerhouses to less-capi talized firms, increasing the risk that aging wells will be left orphaned, unplugged and leaking oil, brine and climate-warming methane. They see a threat that the state’s oil industry could repeat a pattern seen in other extractive industries like coal mining and lead to taxpayers bearing cleanup costs.

California Assemblymem ber Steve Bennett, a Democrat who has long worked on oil policy, has seen oil companies in his Ventura district walk away from environmental liability. “It gets passed on

to a smaller company and to a smaller company until someone declares bankruptcy and the public is stuck with the cleanup bill,” he said.

IKAV Enters the Fray Supermajors Shell and ExxonMobil recently agreed to sell more than 23,000 wells in California, which they owned through a joint venture called Aera Energy, to German asset management group IKAV for an estimated $4 billion. Aera accounts for about a quarter of California’s oil and gas production, largely from pumping in Kern and Ventura counties.

Shell and ExxonMobil say the deal will strengthen their businesses.

But Greg Rogers, an attorney and accountant who researches the oil and gas industry, said the deal allows the sellers to shed decommis sioning costs. “You got bad assets with big liabilities, and you can get rid of both at the same time. That’s a win for Exxon and Shell,” he said.

IKAV will inherit a port folio littered with wells past their prime. Nearly 9,000 Aera wells were idle as of early October, meaning about 38% of the company’s unplugged inventory isn’t producing oil or gas, according to state data.

“With oil being over $100 a barrel, any well that would’ve come back has likely come

back,” Logan said, adding that long-idled wells are simply “orphan wells in waiting.”

In an email, Aera spokes person Kimberly EllisThompson said the company is capable of managing its large portfolio of idle wells.

“Since 2019, when new idle well management program regulations were published,

we have met or exceeded the requirements for retiring idle wells,” she said. The company has decommissioned and plugged nearly 1,000 wells on average every year since then, she said.

new owner, manages about $2.5 billion in energy-focused assets. News releases on the Aera sale quoted Constan tin von Wasserschleben, IKAV’s chairman, saying, “We advocate a co-existence between renewable and conventional energy for decades to come.”

As the world increasingly shifts to cheaper renewable energy to address climate change, IKAV has been snapping up oil and gas wells from supermajors exiting the market. The firm, which once focused exclusively on renew able energy, began expanding into oil and gas in 2020 when it purchased BP’s gas assets in the San Juan Basin, spanning New Mexico and Colorado.

The deal was part of BP’s push to divest $10 billion in assets, including aging American gas fields.

BP declined to comment.

If it’s not profitable to return wells to production, they need to be plugged. But if a company doesn’t plug its wells before walking away, wells are orphaned and the cleanup costs ultimately fall to taxpayers and current operators through fees.

This has happened with thousands of wells in Cali fornia and hundreds of thou sands, or more, across the country.

For example, the Greka group of companies left more than 750 wells for California to plug when its wealthy owner began pushing his businesses into bankruptcy in 2016 and retired to his Santa Maria winery. And a subsidiary of one of the country’s largest mining companies, FreeportMcMoRan, left dozens of likely orphaned wells, state records show, even though the company brought in nearly $23 billion in revenue last year.

Greka’s CEO didn’t respond to a request for comment, and a Freeport spokesperson said the company is working with the state to verify details about its orphaned wells.

To minimize the govern ment’s exposure if wells are orphaned, producers must put up a bond, typically held as cash or a surety policy.

The bonds act like a security deposit: The company gets its bond back if it cleans up its mess, but the govern ment keeps the money if the company orphans its wells.

Newsom has called for an end to all oil extraction in the state by 2045, but his adminis tration has yet to use another tool to hold producers respon sible for cleanup.

California has the author ity to ask for an additional $30 million in financial security from a single operator but only requires Aera to hold a $3 million bond. As a result, Aera’s bonds cover less than half a percent of the $1.1 billion that ProPublica esti mates it would cost the state to plug the wells based on the average cost to California for past well plugging. (That estimate does not include the additional cost of full surface remediation.)

California Oil and Gas Supervisor Uduak-Joe Ntuk said in a statement that his agency reviews bonds for all oil companies in the state but did not say whether the amount of Aera’s financial security would be increased through the sale.

Aera, Shell and Exxon Mobil did not respond to a question about the gap between their bonds and the estimated cost to plug their wells. IKAV did not respond to requests for comment. In an email, ExxonMobil spokesper son Meghan Macdonald said that “when we make divest ments, we always try to work with partners like Aera and IKAV who are also committed to a lower-emissions future.”

Costs vary widely, but states have paid $100,000 or more to plug wells — and the same to clean up surface pollution — meaning there’s a significant gap between what’s needed and what Cali fornia has available in bonds.

“If they don’t have the financial resources when it comes time to plug those wells, there’s a possibility that the public will be left holding the bag and paying those costs even though it’s the company that made the profit from selling the oil,” said Hollin Kretzmann, an attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity.

Oil companies

Who Will Be Liable?

More than 240,000 wells have pierced the state since the late 1800s, when Southern California’s first producing well spouted oil near where Dodger Stadium now stands. Of those, more than 5,300 are “orphan, deserted, and potentially deserted wells,” according to data the Califor nia Geologic Energy Manage ment Division published in September.

Many on that list belong to individuals who died long ago or companies that dissolved in the shuffling of corporate paperwork. However, some responsible parties are still around but no longer legally liable after offloading their wells through sales and bank ruptcies.

So who will be responsible for cleanup?

California is unique because state law allows regulators to call on former operators such as Shell and ExxonMobil to help pay for plugging onshore oil wells if they are later orphaned, even by a different owner. But companies have escaped responsibility under this stronger legal standard by exploiting loopholes such as a porous bankruptcy code.

Some experts question whether Shell and ExxonMo bil would be required to pay if the wells they are selling to IKAV are ultimately orphaned, saying their ownership of the wells through a separate company, Aera, might shield them from liability.

“Exxon and Shell do not directly operate those wells. There’s corporate structuring going on in between,” Rogers said. And IKAV now adds another layer of corporate paperwork, holding the wells it acquired in New Mexico, Colorado and California through companies that were registered in Delaware shortly before the sales.

Alongside Aera, two other companies — Cali fornia Resources Corp. and Chevron — account for the vast majority of California’s oil and gas production, and they too are shrinking their positions in the state. Cali fornia Resources, which has been in and out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy in recent years,

sold most of its Ventura Basin operations in November 2021. Chevron recently sold its California headquarters and plans to consolidate some of its unused Bakersfield office space as it shifts employees to Texas. Reuters reported in early October that Berry Corp., another large oil company that for many years has operated in California and Utah, was considering selling.

Berry did not respond to a request for comment.

Shell acknowledged its California wells were over valued, suggesting the wells are even nearer to the end of their economic life than previ ously predicted. The company is wiping as much as $400 million off its books through the sale via an impairment charge.

Shell has been shedding assets in part to hand off associated greenhouse gas emissions. A 2021 Dutch court ruling ordered it to significantly reduce emis sions, although the company has appealed the ruling. Zoe Yujnovich, the company’s upstream director, said in a news release about the sale of Aera that Shell will instead be “focusing on positions with high growth potential.”

For its part, ExxonMobil plans to focus on oil and

natural gas that costs less to extract, Liam Mallon, presi dent of ExxonMobil Upstream Co., said in a news release announcing the sale to IKAV.

Large public companies are handing off oil and gas assets around the country. Between 2017 and 2021, more than a quarter of oil and gas mergers and acquisi tions took public companies private, with private equity often involved, according to a study conducted by the Environmental Defense Fund. The report voiced concern that private companies are less transparent and have less incentive to protect the envi ronment.

California Is Just the Beginning

With more than 2 million unplugged oil wells believed to be scattered across the U.S., California is the tip of the iceberg.

A massive boom in American oil and gas produc tion over the past 15 years spurred by technological advances in hydraulic frac turing and horizontal drilling unlocked previously inac cessible geologic formations. But the shale revolution and current market highs buoyed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine won’t last forever.

Longtime petroleum

reservoir engineer Dwayne Purvis laid out the reality at a recent conference. This shale revolution revitalized only some oil fields, and more than 90% of the country’s unplugged wells are either idle or minimally producing and unlikely to make a major comeback, according to his research.

“The bulk of the wells are producing from plays where there is no hope of another deus ex machina,” Purvis said, referencing nearly depleted oil fields.

The oil industry also faces an impending decline in demand from the shift to renewable energy and the trend toward banning the sale of new internal-combustion engine cars, as well as plans to phase out drilling in metro areas.

“The overall industry is being assaulted right now through policy changes at the state and federal level. That’s the story writ large,” Rogers said. “The industry is dying.”

LA County DA won’t charge LASD deputies who fatally shot Dijon Kizzee

By City News Service

Monrovia Old Town report: Thankful & grateful

By Shawn Spencer shawn@girlfridaysolutions.net

Two Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies involved in the fatal shooting of a 29-year-old Black man in the Westmont area will not face any criminal charges, with a report released Tuesday by the District Attorney’s Office concluding the shooting could be reasonably considered selfdefense.

The Aug. 31, 2020, shooting of Dijon Kizzee, who was initially contacted by deputies while riding a bike on the wrong side of the road on East 110th Street, was one of several deputy shootings that sparked protests across the South land that year, including multiple gatherings outside the South Los Angeles Sher iff’s Station.

But in a report from the District Attorney’s Office Justice System Integrity Division released Tuesday but dated Nov. 10, the office concluded that Deputies Christian Morales and Michael Garcia “reason ably believed, based on the totality of the circumstances, that force was necessary to defend against a threat of death when they initially fired their weapons, and there is insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reason able doubt that Morales’ or Garcia’s final shots were not fired in lawful self-defense or defense of another.”

According to the report, Kizzee discarded his bicycle when deputies attempted to stop him for riding on the wrong side of the street and

fled on foot. The deputies caught up to him about a block away, with Morales pursuing Kizzee for a short distance before the suspect “appeared ready to surren der,” according to the report.

Kizzee was holding a green towel in one hand and a red jacket in another at the time, the report stated, and raised his hands as Morales approached. But when the deputy tried to grab his hands, “Kizzee struck Morales in the face,” accord ing to the report, prompting Garcia to run to assist his partner.

“The struggle caused Kizzee to drop a Ruger 9mm pistol on the ground, between him and Morales, as they stood inches apart, face to face,” the report states.

“Kizzee bent down and picked up the pistol. Morales stepped back, drew his weapon, and fired multiple shots at Kizzee, who turned away from Morales and fell to the ground, substantially out of view of the surveillance camera. According to both deputies, Kizzee went to the ground but began reaching for the pistol, ignoring their commands to stop. Morales and Garcia fired several more rounds in rapid succession, followed by a slower series. Garcia fired the final shot several seconds after the preceding shot.”

In total, Kizzee was shot 16 times, according to the repo

An attorney for Kizzee’s family claimed last year that

Kizzee did not die instantly, but was “writhing on the ground in pain when officers opened up on him.”

“Witnesses said that he never threatened any officer with anything,” attorney Carl Douglas said while announc ing a multimillion-dollar damages claim against the county. “And then, once that gun dropped to the ground, witnesses say that the training officer fired four times, striking Mr. Kizzee in his chest. And after Mr. Kizzee fell to the ground, witnesses say the other officer joined and they both opened up and struck Mr. Kizzee’s body more than 16 different times.”

Earlier this month, Sheriff Alex Villanueva held a news conference alleging that the DA’s investigation into the Kizzee shooting was one of four that had already been concluded earlier this year. He accused District Attorney George Gascón, of whom Villanueva has been highly critical, of withhold ing the reports until after the Nov. 8 election, unwill ing to release a document that cleared his deputies of wrongdoing prior to the vote.

The DA’s Office issued a statement in response flatly denying the sheriff’s allegations, saying all such reports go through a chain of command and are not finalized until Gascón or his designee signs off on them and the families involved are notified.

Please join in with your community, THURSDAY, Nov. 17, from 5-9 p.m., at Library Park. It is sure to be a lot of fun for the entire family! There will be live perfor mances, 30 community booths, a special guest to help with our tree lighting ceremony and a truck petting zoo that the kids will love. Be thankful with your neighbors and rejoice that you are part of an amazing community.

Here's one that I’m super excited for: ice skating is coming to Old Town. Friday nights at the Pasadena Ice Skating rink were epic in the early ‘80s. A DJ, cute boys asking you to slow-skate to a Whitney Houston song in the dark with twinkling lights? Yes, please! So, the Old Town Monrovia rink probably won’t be like that, but I still plan on skating. Do I still “got it”? We shall see. Beginning Friday, Nov. 25 through Sunday, Nov. 27, from 5-9 p.m., we will have not one but two ice skating rinks at Library Park. One

for the bigs and one for littles. This will be a firstcome, first-served event that is open to all ages. The fee is $8 for 20 minutes of skating time. Don’t forget your socks. I cannot wait for this! Every time I think we’ve had all the fun we can here, our awesome city staff says, “hold my iced James Brown” and plans something amazing like ice skating. My fingers are crossed that they bring us a springtime roller rink because I still have my leg warmers and big gold hoops and I have no problem throwing my hair in two ponytails and embarrassing myself.

And then, before you know it, it will be Thanks giving. Hug your family, hug your friends, call them, text them, email them an “I love you”. Be thankful and be grateful for all that you have. While we can always have more, conversely, we can always have less. Often want and need are two separate things. True abundance can show itself

in feelings of happiness, good health, having a sense of purpose, vitality and so many other ways. One of my favorite quotes is from Deepak Chopra: “Anything that is of value in life only multiplies when it is given.”

No matter how or with whom you celebrate Thanksgiving, take a moment to give thanks. My heart is always so full this time of year. There is so much to be thankful for. Aside from my kids, family and friends, I am very thankful for this communi ty that I love so much. I love the view of our mountains and the amazing trails we can hike — the bears that wander down. I love our beautiful historic homes.

I love Old Town and being able to work there every day.

I love that our city has staff that go above and beyond to make this such an amazing place to call home. And I’m very thankful and grateful for the many wonderful people I have met here that I am lucky enough to call friends.
