LAUSD to provide all schools with anti-overdose medication

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Responding to recent fentanyl overdoses by students, including the death of a 15-year-old girl in a Hollywood school bathroom, the Los Angeles Unified School District announced Thursday it will make the anti-overdose medication Narcan available at all of its campuses by midOctober.

Doses of Narcan, or naloxone, will also be provided to all LAUSD School

treatment.

The district will receive the Narcan doses free from the county Department of Public Health, according to the LAUSD.

Carvalho said the initial allotment of about 600 units will ensure Narcan is avail able at all of the district high schools and middle schools.

“That alone is not enough,” he said. “Not only do we want to effectively respond to this crisis as

Police officers, Superinten dent Alberto Carvalho said.

“We are experiencing a devastating epidemic. Whether we talk about fentanyl or the many varia tions of fentanyl, there is an abundance of drugs that students are having ready access to,” Carvalho said.

“Effective the second week of October, every one of our schools at L.A. Unified will be outfitted with the appropriate tools, includ ing Narcan available for students who may experi ence a condition of overdose through the consumption, the ingestion of fentanyl in any type of format.”

Narcan, if administered in a timely manner, can counteract the effects of an overdose and allow the patient to resume breath ing. The treatment is only temporary, lasting between 30 and 90 minutes, but is designed to allow first responders to arrive and begin more permanent

an incident occurs. But we actually want prevention. And prevention requires far more than the deployment of Narcan to our schools or in the hands of our officers.”

The superintendent also announced plans for a district-wide education campaign, including a “peerto-peer” effort to teach students about the conse quences of fentanyl use.

“There is nothing better than a student peer to explain the consequences associated with fentanyl to other students,” he said.

He also said the district next week will roll out a massive online and in-person education campaign for parents to allow them to recognize the signs of drug use and learn about the effects of fentanyl. He said the campaign will be done in multiple languages, “hitting every area of our district.”

The district also plans to roll out a safety task force

that will work with school police and other local law enforcement to provide a “greater level of supervi sion” in parks and other areas where students are believed to be obtaining drugs.

“The opioid epidemic is a community crisis, and today Los Angeles Unified is taking concrete action to protect our students -- both by making naloxone readily available and through proac tive education and support,” LAUSD board President Kelly Gonez said in a state ment. “Our board and super intendent are committed to doing everything we can to ensure student safety on our campuses and in our communities.”

The announcement came one day after police confirmed the seventh overdose of a student in the past month from pills believed to have contained fentanyl.

The most recent overdose occurred Saturday morning when a 15-yearold male student at STEM Academy of Hollywood was found unconscious by his mother in their Holly wood home, according to Lt. Letisia Ruiz of the Los Angeles Police Department.

The academy is one of three schools located on the Bernstein High School campus. The boy was treated at a hospital and is expected to survive, officials said.

LAPD Chief Michel Moore told the Los Angeles Times that officers responding to a report of hospitalization of a minor discovered that the boy had ingested a quarter of a pill that he believed to be Percocet but that police said possibly contained fentanyl.

Moore told The Times that 10 pills police seized last week during the arrest of a 15-year-old boy on suspicion of manslaughter

tested positive for fentanyl. He described them as “crude blue M30 pills” believed to be counterfeit pills contain ing fentanyl and produced by illicit labs as a substitute for Percocet.

The 15-year-old boy, a student at Apex Academy, was arrested Thursday for allegedly selling the fentanyl-laced pill that led to the overdose death of 15-year-old Melanie Ramos, a student at Bernstein High School, on Sept. 13. Apex Academy is an independent charter on the Bernstein campus.

Ramos and a 15-year-old female friend both over dosed at Bernstein High, police said. Ramos was found unconscious in the girl’s bathroom and was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. Her friend was hospitalized.

A 16-year-old boy, also a student at Apex Academy, was arrested on his way to

school last week and booked on suspicion of narcotics sales for allegedly selling pills to a Hollywood High School boy at Lexington Park, located a few blocks from Bernstein High, Moore said. Police didn’t identify the boys because they are juveniles.

Police said a fourth person, also likely a student, overdosed at the park last week, but her identity is not known because she left the park after being treated before police could inter view her.

Carvalho said last week that at least six LAUSD students, including three from Sept. 13, have been involved in the use of narcotics.

Moore said the exact number of students who ingested the pills is unknown because police believe others took the drug, survived and may not have sought medical attention.

Riverside County man involved in Jan. 6 Capitol riot pleads guilty to felony

Judge dismisses city of West Covina as defendant in deadly pursuit suit

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Having already dismissed the city of Baldwin Park as a defendant in a lawsuit brought by relatives of a Covina couple killed during a police pursuit, a judge has now done the same with the city of West Covina.

city of West Covina seeking dismissal of the city from the case.

Cameron avenues in West Covina.

A 45-year-old man who was among seven people from River side County charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol pleaded guilty Wednesday to aiding and abetting in the obstruction of an official proceeding.

Andrew Alan Hernandez of Jurupa Valley admitted the felony count under a plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, which agreed to drop five related charges in exchange for the admission.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington, D.C., sched uled a sentencing hearing for Jan. 27. Hernandez is facing a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison, though the term of incar ceration imposed is likely to be much lower.

The defendant remains free on his own recogni zance.

Security surveillance camera images of Hernan dez inside the Capitol Building on the day of the breach show him carrying an American flag with a Go-Pro camera zip-tied to it.

The pictures, collected by the FBI and included in the indictment against Hernandez, revealed he entered the building via the East Rotunda Door, which was forced open, then milled about with others who had entered the Capitol.

He posted a social media message prior to joining the protest outside the Capitol that day, saying, “They are trying to steal the vote and will perfect and protect their fraudulent voting system when in power.”

The defendant proceed ed to the Senate Gallery, snapped a few selfies and exited the edifice 15 minutes later, according to prosecutors.

Hernandez, like the other six Riverside County men charged with disrupt ing the Electoral College vote certification, was not accused of engaging in any act of violence against law enforcement officers during the breach.

He is the third defen dant from Riverside County to enter a plea agreement

with the government.

In March, Kevin Strong, 45, of Wildomar admitted a misdemeanor count of picketing in the Capitol Building. He was sentenced to 24 months probation.

In June, Rafael Valadez Jr., 42, of Indio admitted the same offense in a plea agreement with prosecu tors. He’s free on his own recognizance and is slated for sentencing on Oct. 14.

Derek Kinnison, 40, of Lake Elsinore, Felipe Antonio Martinez, 48, of Lake Elsinore, Ron Mele, 52, of Temecula, and Erik Scott Warner, 46, of Menifee are awaiting disposition of their cases, which involve a mix of felony and misde meanor allegations. Kinni son’s attorney, Nic Cocis, told City News Service in July that he intends to take his case to trial.

The men were part of the larger “Stop the Steal” movement that formed in November 2020.

They’re among nearly 900 individuals nationwide whom federal authorities allege entered the Capitol unlawfully.

The plaintiffs, all family members of the late Edward Louie Contreras and Gracie Contreras, have alleged the negligent actions of three police agencies and the driver they were trying to pull over led to the 2019 deaths in West Covina.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Daniel M. Crowley issued a final ruling Tuesday granting the city of Baldwin Park’s motion to be dropped from the case, which also named as defendants the city of West Covina, the state and Salvador Gomez, the alleged driver of the car that was being chased. The state has jurisdiction over the California Highway Patrol.

In his ruling regarding the city of Baldwin Park, Crowley said the police report indi cated that only West Covina officers engaged in the pursuit and that Baldwin Park officers only reported the police investigation into the pursued vehicle to other law enforcement agencies.

In a final ruling issued Wednesday, the judge agreed with immunity arguments raised by lawyers for the

“At the time of the incident, West Covina had adopted (a vehicle pursuit policy that) meets all require ments of the applicable Vehicle Code section, as it provided guidance on initi ating conducting, terminat ing and reporting a vehicle pursuit,” the judge wrote.

Crowley further noted that the policy requires all sworn officers must certify in writing they have received, read and understood the rules and that training on the issue is conducted annually.

“West Covina has fulfilled its obligation to establish immunity,” according to the judge.

Crowley was recently granted a motion by the plaintiffs’ attorney, Rodrigo Suarez of the Law Offices of Jacob Emrani, to withdraw as their representative. Suarez said in his court papers that he and the plaintiffs have had “irreconcilable differ ences” about the case since May.

The 55-year-old Edward Contreras and his 53-yearold wife had recently married and were headed home with Gracie’s son on Oct. 12, 2019, when Salvador Gomez, allegedly fleeing police in a stolen Jeep, and the pursuing officers ran a red light and crashed into the victim’s vehicle at Glendora and

All three were ejected. The woman’s son, now 16 years old, survived and is one of the plaintiffs. The suit alleges wrongful death and motor vehicle negligence. The plaintiffs seek unspeci fied damages.

About 9 p.m. Oct. 11, 2019, Gomez, using a knife, forcefully stole a woman’s Jeep in Baldwin Park, the suit states. Police were alerted and the Jeep was seen heading toward West Covina, according to the suit.

The woman’s cell phone, which had a GPS system, was left in the Jeep, the suit states. The Jeep was seen at about 2 a.m. on Oct. 12, 2019, but instead of continuing to track Gomez and avoid a pursuit, the police agencies demanded he pull over even though he posed no threat to anyone and there was no emergency, according to the suit.

Gomez and the pursuing officers, after running a red light, all crashed into the car containing the couple and the woman’s son, the suit alleges.

The plaintiffs believe that none of the police cars had their emergency lights on or their sirens active, the suit states.

Attorneys for the state also have a pending dismissal motion scheduled to be heard on Sept. 30.

LA planning commission recommends ordinance banning oil drilling

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Los Angeles is one step closer to banning oil drilling, with the city planning commission Thursday recommending approval of the proposed ordinance.

The City Council in January unanimously approved a series of recommendations aimed at banning new oil and gas wells. The draft ordinance would phase out all such oil and gas extraction activities by immediately banning new oil and gas extraction and ceasing existing operations within 20 years.

The proposed ordinance will head to council commit tees before moving to the full council.

Councilman Paul Kreko rian, the Budget and Finance Committee chair who first introduced a motion to desig nate oil and gas production as a nonconforming use, said at the commission meeting the ordinance would change the history of Los Angeles.

“L.A. is leading,” Kreko rian said. “We’re leading thoughtfully. We’re leading with thorough, comprehen sive, detailed, carefully drafted policy that hopefully will be the model for the rest of the nation.”

Krekorian responded to concerns over a potential loss of jobs and an increase in gas prices.

He said less than 1% of crude oil processed in Southern California refineries actually comes from wells in Los Angeles, and the loss of oil drilling will not impact gas prices locally.

On jobs, Krekorian said he

believes the era of oil and gas is ending regardless.

“The use of gasoline is going to go away no matter what,” Krekorian said. “That’s the trend that we’re on. So these jobs in local extraction, on the natural process of the economic changes and policy changes that are going on locally and globally, those jobs will eventually be phased out on the natural.”

Under the draft ordinance, operators would not be able to expand their existing sites or extend the life of a well during the 20-year phase-out period.

“Oil drilling has long been a part of our past, but today, we’re sending a clear message: Dirty energy production has no future in Los Angeles,” Mayor Eric Garcetti said in a statement in August. “We are one step closer to getting toxic fumes out of our frontline communities.”

Supporters of the ordi nance believe it will help communities of color, who more often live near drilling sites.

“Communities of color have felt the impact of gas and oil drilling for decades -in their air, water, and overall health,” Council President Nury Martinez said in August. “Local climate change and environmental justice advo cates have been working tire lessly with our council to find solutions that would bring an end to drilling in Los Angeles and now, this goal is finally coming to fruition. As our country faces multiple public health emergencies and count

less natural disasters due to climate change, this move cannot come soon enough for our city and our planet.”

The recommendations from the council’s Budget and Finance Committee approved in January also included:

-- having the Los Angeles Office of Petroleum and Natural Gas Administration and Safety hire an expert to conduct an amortization period for existing wells, a prerequisite to decommission ing existing oil fields to allow the oil company to recoup its investment if it hasn’t already; and

-- having that same office create a framework for plugging and remediating abandoned oil wells, which can leak hydrocarbons and methane, with the intention of having the oil companies bear the responsibility.

The city of Los Angeles has 26 oil and gas fields and about 5,274 oil and gas wells, accord ing to the planning depart ment. Seventeen drill sites are either active, idle, or perform ing gas drill operations.

“There are oil and gas facil ities in nearly every section of the 503 square miles of the city,” Vincent Bertoni, director of the department, wrote last September to the City Council Budget and Finance Commit tee.

Nearly one-third of Los Angeles’ oil and gas wells exist outside drill sites and are dispersed throughout the city, Bertoni added, citing data by the California Geologic Energy Management Division.

Many community groups have lobbied Los Angeles to stop oil drilling, citing the harm it has on communities, which is disproportionately felt in working-class communities and communities of color.

Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed new rules last October, under which new oil wells or drilling facilities in California would have to be at least 3,200 feet from homes, schools, hospitals, nursing homes and other “sensitive locations.”

Newsom cited the impacts that toxic chemicals have on communities, including asthma and birth defects. The proposal is undergoing an economic analysis and public comment before taking effect. The governor has also called for a statewide phase-out of oil extraction by 2045.

A USC study published in April linked living by urban oil wells with wheezing and reduced lung function, symptoms disproportionately borne by people of color in Los Angeles. In some cases, the respiratory harm rivals that of daily exposure to second hand tobacco smoke or living beside highways spewing auto exhaust, the researchers found.

The study focused on drilling sites in two South L.A. neighborhoods, Jefferson Park and North University Park, yet could have implications elsewhere in the region. About one-third of L.A. County resi dents live less than one mile from an active drilling site -- and some live as close as 60 feet.

Efforts to assist San Bernardino County residents impacted by flooding continues

BY STAFF

San Bernardino County opened a Local Assis tance Center last Wednesday at the Yucaipa Community Center to provide resources for resi dents impacted by the severe flooding that struck the communities of Oak Glen, Crestline and Forest Falls.

Remnants of Hurricane Kaye produced up to 2.4 inches of rain within an hour over the communities of Oak Glen and Forest Falls and Crestline on Sept. 12.

On Sept. 15, after several days of searching, the San Bernardino County Fire Department’s Urban Search and Rescue Team found the body of 62-year-old Doris Jagiello who was unac counted for after a mudslide overtook her home in Forest Falls.

“While this was not the desired outcome, the Sheriff’s Department hopes finding Jagiello will bring some measure of closure to Jagiello’s family and aid in their healing process,” the department said in a news release.

At least 11 homes were destroyed or received major damage by debris flow and approximately 3,000 resi dents were impacted.

At the Local Assistance Center, residents learned

about County and state resources that may be able to assist them in the recovery and rebuilding process.

“We had flooding at my house where I live in Cres tline,” said resident Frank Padilla. “Behind the house is a big hill and this last rain storm was so bad that it just flooded straight down and came into the house and it’s quite literally destroyed the house.”

“Today, I got a lot of help,” Padilla said. “There were a lot of different parts of the County here, the Red Cross and volunteers. I’m one of those people that has a hard time asking for help. I was raised in an era where you just tough it out and go through it. Just getting to talk to someone for a couple minutes was even helpful.”

Representatives from the departments of Aging and Adult Services, AssessorRecorder-Clerk, AuditorController/Treasurer/Tax Collector, Behavioral Health, District Attorney Bureau of Victim Services, Land Use Services, Public Health, Public Works, Transitional Assistance Department, and Veterans Affairs appeared at the event to provide support and information.

State agencies included the California Gover nor’s Office of Emergency

Services, the Contractors State Licensing Board, the Department of Insurance, the Franchise Tax Board and the Department of Motor Vehicles. The American Red Cross, Disaster Legal Assistance Collaborative, the City of Yucaipa, Team Rubicon, Tzu Chi, United Methodists (UMCOR), United Policyholders, and Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters (VOAD) also attended the event to offer help.

The Board of Supervi sors voted to approve an emergency proclamation last week which allows the County to request state and federal assistance to assist responding agencies in the ongoing debris flow response and recovery efforts.

Assistance may also be available for the restoration of damaged infrastructure. The County will be collect ing information from resi dents and businesses that incurred damage from the debris flow to allow state and federal agencies the opportunity to determine what assistance may be made available.

The County opened a hotline at (909) 356-2563 for residents impacted by the flooding to call for resources and information.

Mistrial declared as jurors deadlock in Orange County murder trial

BY PAUL ANDERSON/CITY NEWS SERVICE

Ahearing is scheduled for Oct. 3 in a Santa Ana courtroom for attorneys to discuss how to go forward with the case against a 32- year-old man charged with gunning down a bookie he worked with in a Huntington Beach parking lot.

Orange County Superior Court Judge Richard King declared a mistrial Thursday in the trial of Dennis Tri Gia Dang. Jurors, who deliberated for seven days, acquitted Dang of first-degree murder but deadlocked between second-degree murder and voluntary manslaughter. Seven of the jurors voted for second-degree murder and five opted for volun tary manslaughter.

Dang was charged with murder with sentenc ing enhancements for discharge of a firearm causing great bodily injury and the personal use of a firearm. He is accused of fatally shooting 48-yearold Linh Ho of Westminster at about 12:15 p.m. on Oct. 20, 2019, at Magnolia Street and Warner Avenue.

The defendant’s father, Jimmy Dang, was a “good friend of Mr. Ho,” said Senior Deputy District

Attorney Janine Madera, who added that Ho earned a living as a bookie and ran a “tight operation.”

Dennis Dang worked as a “kind of middleman” bookie, recruiting bettors and collecting debts for Ho, Madera said in her opening statement of the trial.

“The defendant shot Mr. Ho in the temple while sitting in the victim’s car in a parking lot” next to a “soup and noodle” restau rant, Madera said.

The two had worked together for about eight years and Dang often owed his boss about $10,000 to $20,000, “which in the world of gambling is really routine,” but the two had issues when Dang’s debt ballooned to about $55,000, Madera said.

In text messages between the two, it appeared Ho was concerned Dang was avoiding him, with Ho at one point saying, “I hope you’re not playing me, bud,” Madera said.

After clubbing with his close friend Casey Ngo and others, Dang had a late breakfast with them on the day Ho was shot, Madera said.

Ngo told authorities

that Dang “has a gambling addiction,” and he thought the defendant owed Ho $65,000, Madera said.

“He knows the victim is upset about the money he is owed,” Madera said. “And that (Ho) has threatened the defendant.”

Dang asked Ngo to go with him to meet with Ho after breakfast, Madera said.

Dang and Ngo drove to the meeting place in Huntington Beach at about noon, but before they went, they stopped at Dang’s home so he could get a gun and backpack and change clothes, Madera said. He claimed the backpack was stuffed with $2,000 to $3,000 in cash, she added.

Dang had Ngo park in an area behind the restau rant with no view of Ho’s vehicle, Madera said.

The prosecutor screened surveillance video for jurors that showed the defendant get into Ho’s Escalade for less than a minute and then pop out and run, Madera said. Dang, who hid the gun, told Ngo beforehand to get ready to drive away, the prosecutor added.

The victim had asked to meet in a public place and did not bring a weapon, the

prosecutor noted.

The defendant went back to Ngo’s home after the shooting and changed into a third set of clothes, Madera said.

When Ngo asked what happened, the defendant kept brushing him off until he finally said, “He was tripping so I had to pop him,” Madera alleged.

Ngo then threw him out of the house, Madera said.

“This case is about what happened inside that car,” Madera said.

When police questioned Dang he initially denied being at the crime scene until he was confronted with surveillance video evidence, Madera said. Then Dang changed his story to say Ho “grabbed his hand” and he panicked, Madera added.

“He never says he (Ho) had a gun or that he thought he had a gun,” Madera said.

Eventually, Dang wrote a letter of apology to the widow, the prosecutor said.

“If you use your common sense you’re going to find the defendant murdered the victim and did not act in self-defense,” Madera said.

Ricardo Nicol III, told jurors that his client would testify in the trial, but the defendant later changed his mind.

The defense attorney predicted the evidence is “going to support a very strong case for selfdefense.”

Dang grew up in West minster and about a year before he earned a degree in criminal justice at UC Irvine he went to work for Ho, Nicol said. His father, who had a machine shop for a family aircraft business, met Ho as a customer, Nicol said.

Dang’s father enjoyed watching professional football games that he bet on with his friends, and Ho eventually would become friends with Dang and joined the NFL watching parties, Nicol said.

Nicol said it is impor tant for bookies to let their clients know that if they don’t pay up on lost bets they could be punished.

“They want people to know they’re serious,” Nicol said.

Dang’s “problem” was many of his clients were his college buddies, so he was reluctant to push them to pay off debts, Nicol said.

“He didn’t have it in him to threaten his buddies,” Nicol said.

There were times Dang just covered the debts of his clients, “hoping his friends would pay him back,” Nicol said. “It was almost like a little Ponzi scheme.”

Ho “wasn’t happy about it and this is when the tensions began,” Nicol said.

Dang knew Ho usually had a gun in the glove compartment of his car, and Ho advised Dang to get a gun and show it to his customers so they would get the hint, Nicol said.

“Dennis was starting to get worried” as his debt mounted, Nicol said. “He didn’t know what Mr. Ho would do.”

Then Ho gave Dang a deadline, which was the day after Ho was shot, Nicol said.

Ho texted him, “Don’t blame me for what happens to you,” Nicol said.

Dang and Ho got into a heated argument in the Escalade and the defendant told police he was fright ened, Nicol said.

“He says there was a struggle in the car and he was scared,” Nicol said. “He believed he needed to protect himself.”

Arcadia’s Foothills Middle School earns National Blue Ribbon recognition

BY STAFF

Arcadia Unified School District’s Foothills Middle School has earned coveted honors from the U.S. Department of Education as a 2022 National Blue Ribbon School. Foothills Middle School is one of only 10 schools in L.A. County, one of only 29 schools in California, and one of only 297 schools in the nation to earn this recognition.

“We are profoundly grateful and humbled that Foothills Middle School has been distinguished as a National Blue Ribbon School,” shared Dr. Ben Acker, who has served as the school’s principal since 2014. “This recog nition is an important celebration of the endless work our school’s educa tors, counselors, and staff engage in to create safe, student-centered learning environments that foster belonging and promote the positive personal, academic, social, and emotional development of every one of our students.”

Of the nearly 135,000 public and private elemen tary, middle, and high schools that operate nation wide, only 297 schools achieved a spot in the U.S. Department of Education’s 39th cohort of National Blue Ribbon Schools. Blue Ribbon honorees were selected for their overall academic performance or for progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups, as explained by the U.S. Department of Education.

“I’m so proud of our

Foothills Middle School team for the caring and consistent work they do daily in support of nurtur ing the growth of the whole child,” said Arcadia Unified Superintendent Dr. David Vannasdall. “As a district, we are grateful for our reputation of academic excellence and have continued to place an increasing emphasis on the social and emotional well-being of our students, which involves a great deal of collaboration and support between all of our schools. It’s so special to see that work honored and recognized.”

According to its website, the U.S. Department of Education further explains that the National Blue Ribbon School award affirms the hard work of students, educators, families, and communities in creating safe and welcoming schools where students master challenging and engaging content.

“I applaud all the honorees for the 2022 National Blue Ribbon Schools Award for creating vibrant, welcoming, and affirming school commu nities where students can learn, grow, reach their potential, and achieve their dreams,” said U.S. Secre tary of Education Miguel Cardona. “As our country continues to recover from the pandemic, we know that our future will only be as strong as the education we provide to all of our children. Blue Ribbon Schools have

gone above and beyond to keep students healthy and safe while meeting their academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs. These schools show what is possible to make an enduring, positive differ ence in students’ lives.”

Foothills Middle School is one of 11 schools in the Arcadia Unified School District. According to Arcadia Unified’s website, all schools in the district are unified by a collective purpose, which is “To chal

lenge and inspire students to make a positive and profound impact on their world.”

Arcadia Unified has remained committed to its mental health initia tives by ensuring that each Arcadia Unified school has at least one full-time school counselor to provide proac tive approaches to student social-emotional develop ment and wellness. Likewise, the district also offers char acter education programs, such as “The Leader in Me”

for students in TK-8 grade, and has adopted “restor ative practices,” which are techniques geared towards community-building in classrooms and schools.

Additionally, Arcadia Unified has consistently been ranked by Niche in the top 1% of the best school districts, school districts with the best teachers, and the best places to teach in the United States, Califor nia, and Los Angeles. Each Arcadia Unified elementary and middle school has also

been recognized as a Cali fornia Distinguished School by the California Depart ment of Education.

Foothills Middle School will receive its official Blue Ribbon award during a ceremony to be held in Washington D.C., on Nov. 3. More details on the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program may be accessed on the U.S. Depart ment of Education website, and for additional informa tion about Arcadia Unified, visit www.ausd.net.

Inland Empire business activity is declining, but the downturn is not occurring at the same pace as the rest of the nation, UC Riverside economists said Thursday.

The UCR School of Business’ Center for Economic Forecasting & Development released its quarterly Inland Empire Business Activity Index, showing that area busi nesses experienced a 1.6% growth rate during the second quarter of 2022 -- the most recent data available -- a steep drop from the 4.7% expansion in the first three months of the year.

Despite the significant contraction, the rate still contrasted markedly with the negative 0.6% rate for the nation as a whole during the same quarter, according to the report.

Successive periods of sliding gross domestic product reflect that the country may already be in the early stages of a recession, according to some economists.

The UCR economic forecasting team said the financial head winds should not derail prospects for regional growth going forward, with predictions that local business activity will continue to expand between 2% and 3% over

the next 12 months. “The steadiness of the

Inland Empire’s overall economic recovery and its forecast for continued growth has been partially driven by the strength of its largest industry, trans portation and warehous ing, which boomed during the pandemic years but is now starting to slow,” Center for Economic Fore casting Research Manager Taner Osman said.

He cautioned that another economic driver, real estate, is losing steam, cooling “substantially due to rising interest rates,” contributing to weaken ing business activity.

The high cost of living in Southern California,

exacerbated by accelerat ing inflation, is a deter rent to drawing workers to the region, unlike other parts of the country, the center said in its firstquarter report.

Forecasters said earlier this year that the region had largely recovered the jobs lost during the coronavirus public health lockdowns of 2020 and part of 2021.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Planning and Community Devel opment Department is bringing forward for consideration a Zoning Code Amendment to amend Title 17 (the Zoning Code) to modify regulations pertaining to Planned Developments.

Since the proposed changes are limited to proce dures and requirements for Planned Developments and do not per tain to any specific land use permissions or development standards, there is no possibility that the amendments will have a significant effect on the environment.

APPROVALS NEEDED: The Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing and consider recommendations on the proposed Zoning Code Amendment. The Planning Commission recommenda tion will be forwarded to the City Council. The City Council will make a final decision at a separately-noticed public hearing.
