LAPD’s request for $119M budget increase clears police commission

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE

The Los Angeles Board of Police Commis sioners supported an increase of $119 million for the LAPD’s budget Tuesday for the 2023- 24 fiscal year, which would bring the total general fund budget for the department to $2 billion.

The proposed budget now heads to the mayor and City Council for approval.

A majority of the increase in funding, $105.5 million, would go toward salaries and expenses. The department plans to hire 780 officers and rehire up to 200 sworn personnel through its recall program in an attempt to address “back-to-back years of substantially higher

rates of attrition within our sworn and civilian work force,” Police Chief Michel Moore wrote in a letter to the board.

Moore said the depart ment’s budget request assumes implementation of hiring bonuses, which “will allow the LAPD to remain competitive with surround ing law enforcement agencies” and help offset the high cost of living in Los Angeles.

The department request ed over $63 million in addi tional overtime and recruit expenses.

“The big theme here that I want to stress with this budget is that the staffing

restorations are critical,” Moore told the commission. “Gaining support in those areas are going to improve public safety in Los Angeles. These numbers are ambi tious, but we need to strive to achieve them.”

The department also sought a $35 million increase in sworn overtime, up from $5 million this year. Officials say they need funding to address increases in violent crime and to track down ghost guns.

The department also seeks to rebuild its vehicle fleet, requesting $38 million to replace what Moore described as an aging fleet, and made a $15.6 million

request for two helicopters.

“This is a standard replacement process so that we don’t grow the fleet, but that we retain the fleet,” Moore said.

Councilwoman-elect Eunisses Hernandez said on Twitter that the $119 million should instead go toward expanding the number of mental health profession als who can handle mental health crisis calls instead of the police -- a sentiment that Councilman Mike Bonin agreed with.

“I’ve had LAPD officers tell me they don’t want to deal with folks who have mental health crises, but it’s a majority of their calls,”

Hernandez said.

A couple of commission ers expressed concern that the budget did not go far enough in certain areas.

Commissioner Steve Soboroff believed the budget was underfunded for tech nology and included too many items that police should not be responsible for.

“I look to the day that the line items that have to do with the issues of homeless ness, mental illness, drugs and other issues can be reduced,” Soboroff said.

Commissioner William Briggs, the board’s presi dent, said he wanted the department to aim for more

than hiring 780 new officers, pointing out that several world events -- including the World Cup in 2026 and Olympics in 2028 -- would require additional resources.

“I am extremely concerned that we simply will not have the resources to meet the task that we’re going to be faced with if these are the current numbers that we’re talking about, and they persist,” Briggs said.

Moore replied that the budget was “ambitious yet realistic,” and a “measured effort to improve the effi ciencies and effectiveness of the organization with our professional opinion about what’s realistic.”

Fight for affordable insulin continues during National Diabetes Month

BY SUZANNE POTTER, PRODUCER, PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE

November is National Diabetes Monthand the American Diabetes Association reports at least 3.2 million Califor nians have been diagnosed with the disease.

People with diabetes make up more than 10.5% of the adult population, and another 33%, or 10.3 million people, have high blood sugar levels that signify pre-diabetes.

Dr. Nicole Brady is chief medical officer for UnitedHealthcare. She said the rising cost of insulin is putting many patients in a bind.

“Many of them may even have to make decisions such as, ‘Am I gonna buy food for my family this week or am I gonna spend money on my insulin?’ So it puts them in a very precarious position,” Brady said.

A study by the Health care Cost Institute found the average price of insulin has nearly doubled since 2012. And research published last month in the Annals of Internal Medicine shows that one in five adults with diabetes is rationing insulin to save money.

The Biden administra tion’s Inflation Reduction

Act, which passed this summer, caps the cost of insulin for people on Medicare at $35-per month, starting in January. It also caps their out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs at $2,000 a year, and allows Medicare to negotiate down the cost of drugs.

Brady said starting January 1, UnitedHealth care will eliminate outof-pocket costs for certain prescription medications, including preferred brands of insulin, for people enrolled in standard fully insured group plans.

“So we’re really, really hoping that eliminating the out-of-pocket expense for insulin helps reduce that financial burden and that people will be able to be better adherent to their medications and take them more regularly,” Brady said.

Brady also provided some tips on improving your quality of life while on an insulin regimen. She advised that people reduce sugary, processed foods, limit alcohol, avoid smoking and exercise regularly.

“Moving and using those muscles helps burn blood sugar and keeps those levels manageable. And

we know it can also help a multitude of other condi tions like heart disease and high blood pressure, and that activity actually just makes us all feel better,” she said.

Diabetes care was on the midterm ballot this year in California. Voters rejected Prop 29, which would have required a nurse practi tioner, doctor or physi cian’s assistant on site at all dialysis clinics while patients are receiving care. The measure was supported by unions but vigorously opposed by the dialysis industry, which argued that the increased costs would force clinics to close.

The state Coastal Conservancy will vote this week on a strate gic plan to guide how hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars get spent over the next five years. The future of Califor nia’s 1,100 coastline is at stake.

Liliana Griego, senior coastal program manager with Audubon California, said funds should go to projects that play to the strengths of indigenous people’s knowl

edge and connection to the land.

“We’re emphasizing equity, specifically to ensure that tribes are receiv ing long-term funding for co-management of various coastal habitats, with the end goal of returning ances tral lands to tribes,” Griego said.

California Audubon, The Pew Charitable Trusts and Coastal Policy Solutions submitted public comments on the draft plan - asking

that accessibility for underserved communities be prior itized - including programs to improve public transit opportunities and provide multilingual signage.

Griego said the Conser vancy also should fund programs that combat the effects of climate change on the coast.

“Sea-level rise is a major threat,” she said, “and so we really want to see land get acquired more inland so that as the sea levels are rising,

wetlands are able to have room to migrate inland.”

The groups are also promoting so-called “blue carbon” programs to restore coastal habitats such as wetlands, tidal marsh and eelgrass beds with native plants that sequester carbon as they grow, provide a buffer for sea level rise, and rebuild habitat for birds migrating on the Pacific Flyway.

Film highlights water struggle between rural high desert and LA

BY SUZANNE POTTER, PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE

Press

Anew film about the transfer of water from the high desert to Los Angeles - called “Without Water” - has just been released on the internet. The film highlights the struggle between the community around Long Valley, which is between Mammoth and Bishop Cali fornia - and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.

The LA DWP has court permission to terminate longstanding water leases and limit irrigation water in Long and Little Round valleys.

Matt McClain, campaign manager for the Keep Long Valley Green Coalition,

said that would endanger wildlife, fish, cattle grazing, tourism, and Native American cultural sites. So advocates are asking for at least 2.8 acre feet of water per year going forward.

“We’re trying to have dialogues with them to say, hey, look, this is the number that we think would be at a minimum equitable for you to supply ratepayers in Southern California while maintaining our wetlands up here,” McClain said.

In a statement, the LA DWP said it “continues to provide water to ranchers in Mono County as it has historically done, and the amount of irrigation water is based on its operational

needs and water condi tions.” The agency also asserted that Los Angeles is one of the most waterefficient cities in the world.

Environmental groups say Mono County’s water should not be used to maintain suburban land scaping. The agency bought land and water rights in the Eastern Sierra back in the early 1900s.

McClain said if the water flow is reduced, many of the area’s native plants will give way to invasive cheatgrass, which will dry up in the summer and create a huge fire hazard.

“That would be cata strophic,” McClain said. “Certainly because there’s

the community of Crowley Lake and Hilton Creek right there. But also it could get so intense that it would burn that landscape and then destroy the seed bed and everything else with it. We could see that landscape just not recover perma nently.”

The courts have ordered the LA DWP to do an envi ronmental assessment before changing the water deliveries. The agency is expected to announce its plans early next year. The 21-minute film has won multiple awards at film festivals this year. It can now be streamed on the “Keep Long Valley Green” YouTube and Vimeo.

Advocates push CA to list Joshua Trees as endangered species

BY CALEIGH WELLS FOR KCRW. BROADCAST VERSION BY SUZANNE POTTER FOR CALIFORNIA NEWS SERVICE REPORTING FOR THE KCRW-PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE COLLABORATION

Colleges turn to data analytics to smooth path for transfer students

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE

The California Fish and Game Commission delayed the decision again today over whether to grant state protection to the western Joshua tree. The petition to protect the plant under the California Endan gered Species Act (CESA) was submitted in 2019. If it is listed, it would be the first species to earn protection in the state because of climate change.

But the process has been contentious. And even when the decision is made, the fate of the plant is far from sealed.

How to save a tree

A member of the public must make a case to the California Fish and Game Commission that a species needs protection. In this case, the case is over the western Joshua tree, which primarily grows in Califor nia.

Their champion is Brendan Cummings. As conservation director for the Center for Biological Diver sity he’s litigated plenty of endangered species cases. “Fifteen or so years ago, I did the ... litigation that forced the Bush administration to protect the polar bear under the Federal Endangered Species Act.”

But this species is personal. He’s got dozens of them in his backyard in the town of Joshua Tree. “If you look around us here, the adult Joshua trees we’re seeing were recruited into the population under a climate that no longer exists,” he says.

But the case he’s making isn’t easy. Millions of these

trees are still spanning thousands of square miles. Listing a species means businesses and residents must either avoid killing it if possible, or move it, or pay a fee if it must be killed. With so many trees left, that could be burdensome.

Kelly Herbinson says it’s worth the trouble. She’s the co-executive director of the Mojave Desert Land Trust, whose whole mission is to set aside acres of desert habitat for preservation.

“What we’re seeing right now is unprecedented. This is serious. And I don’t know that that’s always obvious if you’re not doing this every day and working on the land every day,” she says.

At lower elevations, the western Joshua tree is facing the effects of the worst drought in more than a thousand years. “If you were to go to, say, the West Mojave, or even areas nearby where the drought has been really bad, I mean, they’re mostly brown,” she says.

In its middle elevations, the Joshua tree has been separated into small island habitats by decades of development as the human population in the desert continues to grow. That cuts off genetic flow between populations and creates problems like what LA’s mountain lions are facing.

And then of course, at its middle and higher elevations, the Joshua tree is facing a threat it rarely encountered before -increased wildfire.

On a protected parcel of land across the street from where Herbinson works,

a stray cigarette in 2020 burned most of the Joshua trees on a quarter of the 600 acres that the Mojave Desert Land Trust saved from becoming a housing development.

“That is not something that happened histori cally,” she says. “There’s this massive overgrowth of invasive plant species that are blanketing the desert and creating this massive fuel load. And then it dries out because we’re in a drought. And then you just have this carpet of dried-up plants that are ripe to burn.”

There’s also the problem of the tree’s lifelong partner: the yucca moth. They’re completely reliant on each other to survive.

The moth lives under ground at the base of its tree for years, waiting for it to flower, and in the spring when it finally does, it emerges and pollinates the tree in exchange for food and a safe place to produce larvae.

But as the climate changes, scientists have found that the moths aren’t reproducing like they used to.

The California Depart ment of Fish and Wildlife spent months studying the trees. Their job is to provide all the data and expertise that the commission needs to make a decision. In June, the department determined that there isn’t compelling evidence that the western Joshua tree is in danger of going extinct in the foresee able future. It said the plant has time to adapt to climate change.

Almost all of the peer-reviewed scientists disagreed. At the meeting in June, hundreds of members of the public showed up to throw in their opinion too.

Local politicians, the local water board, building developers, and labor unions all argued that listing an abundant plant in the desert as endangered would hurt development and jobs.

National politicians, conservationists, scientists, local residents, and tribal groups all made the case that the western Joshua tree is disappearing, and needs to be protected.

The commission reached a stalemate in June, and then on Wednesday, they decided unanimously to delay the decision again, to leave room for more tribal consultation.

Cummings says he is not surprised by the delay. But even if the commission lists the western Joshua tree next year, he doubts the fight will end there either.

“If they vote to protect Joshua trees, various business interests will undoubtedly sue, trying to overturn that protec tion. And conversely, if the commission votes against protecting Joshua trees, I will sue, attempting to overturn that unlawful, unscientific decision. So the future of the species is likely to be contested for the next few years,” he says.

For now, the Joshua tree has temporary protection, since it is a candidate species for CESA. The commission will revisit the decision in February 2023.

Some local colleges and universities in Southern California are turning to data analyt ics to streamline their programs, so students can transfer more easily from two- to four-year schools.

The Transfer GPS software is being used at two community colleges, Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga and San Bernardino Valley College, to help students who want to transfer to Cal State San Bernardino and not lose credit for the coursework they’ve already done.

Carlos Ayala, president and CEO of the nonprofit Growing Inland Achieve ment, said Transfer GPS helps schools trouble shoot.

“You’re able to actually visualize where students are ‘stopping out’ of particular programs,” Ayala pointed out. “And so then, faculty can make adjust ments so that it’s easier for students to flow through the program.”

The program is funded by the College Futures Foundation and is a collabo ration between the John N. Gardner Institute, Growing Inland Achievement, and the three schools. Growing Inland Achievement released a study on why

students drop out, and found the top four reasons include financial struggles, confus ing pathways to success, lack of mental health and social support, and fear of academic failure.

Robert Rundquist, dean of institutional effectiveness at Chaffey College, said the Transfer GPS program tries to pave a student’s pathway to success by promoting an integrated four-year plan instead of a “two-plus-twoyear” model.

“We’ve just never had that lens to be able to see both the pathway design and the actual student coursetaking behavior, to better understand what’s happen ing along these journeys,” Rundquist explained. “Not just in theory, but also in practice.”

A 2017 study from the federal Government Accountability Office found more than a third of college students transferred schools over a five-year period.

Ayala added he hopes to expand the Transfer GPS program to many more schools in the next few years.

20 celebrations this holiday season besides Christmas

BY JODY ELLIS, STACKER

When it comes to winter holidays, Christmas takes up a lot of air space. In 1870, Christmas was declared a federal holiday and is now one of the most popular holidays in the United States, as well as being widely celebrated in other countries.

But Christmas isn’t the only holiday celebrated during the winter season. There are a plethora of other holidays that are culturally significant to their countries of origin, some of which have festiv ities that far exceed even the most ostentatious Christmas celebration.

From religious festivals to ceremonies honoring the change of seasons, as well as secular events that take place in many differ ent countries, Stacker gathered information from various sources to compile a list of fall and winter holidays celebrated all over the world. These include holidays celebrat ed on a national and local level, religious days, and long-standing cultural traditions.

The five-day event takes place on the 15th day of the month of Kartik in the Hindu calendar, which falls in October or November. Celebrants light clay lamps, said to represent the destruction of anything negative in one’s life, and celebrate the goddess Lakshmi, who is purported to bring wealth and good fortune.

Kwanzaa

Kwanzaa, which is observed from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1, is a holiday that celebrates African culture and community. With activities focused around what is called the Nguzo Saba (The Seven Prin ciples) celebrating traits such as collective work, creativity, and purpose, communities join together with feasts, music, dance, and a continued commit ment to cultural values.

Hanukkah

The Jewish festival of Hanukkah is an eight-night celebration that commem

orates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem during the Maccabean Revolt. It begins on the 25th of Kislev on the Hebrew calendar, which usually occurs in November or December. Celebrations include meals with tradi tional foods, the lighting of the menorah, and eight nights of games and gifts.

Chinese New Year

The Chinese New Year marks the start of the lunar new year, which occurs sometime between Jan. 21 and Feb. 20. Also known as the Spring Festival, it is considered one of China’s most important celebra tions, with each year being named after one of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac. Festivities include fireworks, parades, and performances. The holiday closes with a lantern festival.

St. Lucia’s Day Celebrated in Sweden, Norway, and Swedishspeaking parts of Finland, St. Lucia’s Day takes place on Dec. 13, in honor of St. Lucia, an early Christian martyr who was killed by the Romans in 304 A.D. The festival includes the selection of a girl to represent St. Lucia, who then walks at the head of a procession through the town, singing traditional songs. The holiday is also celebrated in parts of Italy, where St. Lucia is consid ered the patron saint of Syracuse in Sicily.

Día de los Muertos

Commonly known as Day of the Dead, the Mexican holiday of Día de los Muertos takes place during the first two days of November. While many think of it as being similar to Halloween, it is a celebration of the lives of family members who have passed away, commemorated with costumes, song and dance, food, parades, and offer ings to lost loved ones. This important indig enous celebration was recognized by UNESCO in 2008, who added it to the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Las Posadas

Las Posadas, a Mexican holiday that takes place between Dec. 16 and Dec. 24, honors the journey of Joseph and Mary as they made their way from Nazareth to Bethlehem. The festival includes a small child dressed as an angel, leading a proces

sion of children through town as they go to various homes, seeking lodging for Joseph and Mary. Each stop includes songs and scripture readings and ends with a Mass service and the children breaking open piñatas full of candy and toys.

Chung Yeung Festival

The Chung Yeung Festival celebrated in Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan takes place on the ninth day of the ninth month using the Chinese lunar calendar, which is usually around midOctober on the Western calendar. During the festival, families climb the nearby hills to visit the graves of their ancestors, a tradition that is more than 2,000 years old and comes from the legend of Jing Huan, a man who took his family into the hills to visit and subsequently survived the slaughter of his entire village.

Lohri

The Lohri festival, held each year on Jan. 13, is celebrated in Northern India and marks the end of the winter when the sun changes its course. Cere monies include building large bonfires and tossing candies and sesame seeds into them while singing and dancing until the fire goes out, and children go door to door singing the praises of Dulha Bhatti, the Punjabi version of Robin Hood, who stole from the rich and gave to the poor.

St. Nicholas Day

Celebrating the Chris tian saint who sold every thing he owned to give money to the poor, St. Nicholas Day, also known as the Feast of St. Nicholas, is observed on Dec. 6 and is celebrated throughout much of northern Europe. Traditions include leaving small gifts and treats in shoes. While still consid ered a different entity than our modern-day Santa Claus, many of the tradi tions of Santa originated with the legends of St. Nicholas.

Omisoka

Omisoka is the Japanese New Year, and like the Western version of New Year’s, is celebrated on Dec. 31. It is consid ered one of the most important holidays in Japanese culture, second only to Jan. 1, known as Shogatsu or Japanese New Year’s Day. Celebrating the close of the old year and ushering in the new

Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras, otherwise known as Carnival, kicks off every year on Jan. 6, marking the end of the 12 Days of Christmas and the start of several weeks of parties, parades, fire works, music, and general entertainment. The merri ment continues until Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent. In the U.S., the biggest celebration takes place in the city of New Orleans, where marching bands take over the streets, and masquer ade balls take place throughout the districts. Carnival is also observed in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Venice, Italy, among other places.

Boxing Day Celebrated primar ily in the U.K. and other European countries, Boxing Day takes place on Dec. 26. Traditionally a day off for servants and the day when their employers would give them a “Christmas box” or monetary gift, modern Boxing Day customs include sporting events such as full programs of top-tier inter national football leagues, shopping, and a holiday from work. In some coun tries, Boxing Day is cele brated as Saint Stephen’s Day, a religious holiday honoring the first Christian martyr.

Day of Tradition Day of Tradition, or Día de la Tradición, is an Argentinian holiday that takes place on Nov. 10. It celebrates the gaucho culture and commemo rates poet Jose Hernan dez, a journalist and politician who was most well known for his opus, “Martin Fierro,” a poem that emphasizes the role of gauchos in Argentina’s history. Events include barbecues, concerts, music, horsemanship shows, and cultural events, culmi nating in a large gaucho parade held on the Sunday nearest to Nov. 10.

Bon Om Touk

The Cambodian Water Festival, or Bon Om Touk, is celebrated in November, during the full moon of the Buddhist month of Kreuk.

Sap is a major natural resource for Cambodia, providing fish and rich silt deposits to fertilize crops. As the rainy season ends and the lake level goes down, parades, boat races, and fireworks honor the event for three days, all meant to ensure a bountiful year ahead.

Día de Candelaria

Taking place on Feb. 2, Día de Candelaria, also known as the Presentation of the Lord or Candlemas, is widely celebrated by various Christian denomi nations in countries such as Mexico, Spain, and France. The holiday is thought to have originated in ancient times during the spring equinox, eventually evolving into a religious event based on biblical scriptures and represent ing the presentation of the infant Jesus at the temple. Traditions include taking figures of the Christ child to the church for blessings, as well as bringing candles to blessed and used later in the home.

Lantern Festival

The Lantern Festival is celebrated in China on the 15th day of the first month on the Chinese calendar, which usually falls sometime in February on the Western calendar. Marking the end of the Chinese New Year, it symbolizes family togeth erness, forgiveness, and peace. Activities include lighting and displaying

Waitangi Day is the national day of New Zealand, celebrated on Feb. 6 and commemo rating the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, New Zealand’s founding document. Annual events include Māori cultural performances, live music, and traditional foods, as well as the yearly launch ing of the world’s largest Māori ceremonial war canoe, which is carried out and blessed by members of the local tribe.

Guy Fawkes Day

Celebrated in the U.K. on Nov. 5, Guy Fawkes day is a remembrance of Guy Fawkes, who was arrested as being part of a plot made by Catholic conspirators to kill King James I. Initially intended as a celebration of the failure of what is known as the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, it became more of a political and religious statement of the unrest between Catholics and Protestants. Modern Guy Fawkes traditions include bonfires and fireworks, and due to its proximity to Halloween, many people combine elements of the two holidays and don costumes as part of the festivities.

Giants roam Woodland Hills for holiday toy drive event

BY GEORGIA VALDES

From Nov. 18 - Dec.

18, gentle giants will roam the grounds of Pierce College in Woodland Hills. “Dinosaurs in the Valley” premiered with over 100 life-like and life-size Triassic, Jurassic and Creta ceous dinosaurs ranging in size from tiny babies to adults standing 40 feet tall and spanning 70 feet long.

This outdoor, immersive event is a self-paced walk through, as visitors hike steps away from moving, “breathing” dinos. The terrain through the hoard follows the progression of the dinosaur species over thousands of years. This ranges from the pelycosaur species, like the Dimetro don, a large mammal reptile hybrid with a prominent sail on its back, to the triple horned Triceratops with its cub.

Before walking through the Mesozoic era, visitors are invited to donate to a child in need via Motor s4Toys. Motors4Toys is a local charitable founda tion dedicated to provid ing a holiday season to children throughout the community. The founda tion donates 100% of all funds and toys collected. All gifts donated should be unwrapped and new toys

for children between the ages of infant-18 years old. All toys can be brought to the main entrance during event hours and placed in the collection bins.

The realistic animatron ics were brought to SoCal by Dino Don, Inc. The company namesake, Don “Dino” Lessem, is an excavator of the largest dinosaurs in the world, consultant to Disney and Universal theme parks and advisor for Steven Spielberg’s “Jurassic Park.” The author of over 50 books, Lessem works to keep the experience scien tifically accurate so that children can truly grasp the importance of these extinct creatures.

To conceptualize this better, Lessem uses the human body as a measure of time. If the Earth began at your feet, then, “(Mankind) is the length of a split end of hair on top of your head. Dinosaurs are from your nose to you forehead. Thats 63 million years…These are biggest successes that walked the earth,” Lessem said.

While its clear he loves all the dinos in his collection, the Argentine dinosaur, Lessemsaurus sauropoides, or “Lessem’s Lizard,” was named in

honor of his contributions to dinosaur research and holds a special place in his collection. The creatures could grow to over 30 feet tall and weigh up to 8,000 pounds. Today in Woodland Hills, it can be spotted among the pack climbing the trunk of a tall palm to reach its dinner. According to Lessem, its a dino’s size that dictates its diet.

“These guys are really big guys and could only eat plants. And they can only have a tiny head. It sounds counterintuitive, but the only way to get really enormous is to have a small head. A T Rex is big but these guys are 10 times bigger than a T Rex,” he explained.

“As you get bigger in size, if you’re chewing then your head gets so big with the muscles. The volume gets so enormous that you can’t support yourself anymore. So there’s a limit. Well, it turns out to be 40 to 50 feet. If you have a weenie head and a walnut sized brain, you could swallow the food and just shovel it down.”

For visitors, food and drink cannot be brought into the venue; so, whether you’re big or small, to make the most of this experi ence be sure to have a meal beforehand.

Activities include a dig for fossils, giant dinosaur eggs to climb into, dinosaur story-time and dinosaur dance parties. Premium activities are an addi tional fee and include facepainting, bounce-house inflatables, slides, dinosaur scooters, T. rex ATV and Jeep rides and interactive photo opportunities that put you deep into the Land of the Lost Giants.

For those who need it, specific sessions with sound and light adjust ments designed to be less overwhelming for sensory sensitivities is available.

For the thrillseekers, “Dino saurs in the Valley - After Dark” starts at sundown. The space will be lit up with additional lasers and lights.

Timed entry tickets available with entry every half hour. Tickets start at $24.99 per person, and children under two, along with military members and veterans, enter free. The cost includes event parking. Event hours range from 8 a.m. -8 p.m. and vary per day, so check the website for available dates/time slots. The sensory friendly session are on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., Nov. 19 and 26, and Dec. 3, 10, and 17.

Report: Hispanic-serving institutions produce highest economic mobility

BY SUZANNE POTTER, PRODUCER, PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE

Higher-education experts are promot ing a new way to rank colleges and universi ties, proposing an Economic Mobility Index to measure whether the school creates a path to the middle class, instead of the traditional rankings.

The nonprofit think tank Third Way released its EMI rankings this spring, and California State UniversityLos Angeles, and California State University-Domin guez Hills took the top two spots in the U.S., with Cali fornia State Universities in Bakersfield, Stanislaus, Fresno, and San Bernardino in the top 10.

Nicole Siegel, deputy director of education for Third Way, said it is because they provide the best return on investment for the highest number of students.

“The reality is selectiv ity and historical prestige have long been prioritized over student outcomes,” Siegel contended. “But if the primary purpose of postsecondary education is supposed to be to catalyze an increase in economic mobility for students, we need to elevate the schools that are actually succeeding in this goal.”

The top 10 schools on the EMI are all Hispanic Serving Institutions, where Hispanics make up at least 25% of the student body. Some highly selective schools such as Harvard

also provide a big jump in earnings potential, but they serve very few low-income students.

Research from the group Excelencia in Education showed in the U.S., 559 schools qualify as Hispanic Serving Institutions, and 66% of Hispanic students are clustered in 18% of schools.

Alam Hasson, interim vice provost at Fresno State University, said one secret to their success is a personal approach to student reten tion.

“When we admit a student, we’re making a commitment to do every thing that we can to ensure that they can be as success ful as they can be,” Hasson stated. “And every student is different.”

The school with the highest percentage of Hispanic students in the state, at 92%, is Imperial Valley College. Schools enrolling the largest numbers of Hispanic students include East Los Angeles College, California State UniversityFullerton, California State University-Northridge, and the University of California Riverside.

Support for this report ing was provided by Lumina Foundation.
