'Reset' in talks to settle LA County homelessness lawsuit

By Fred Shuster, City News Service

After hearing from the new mayor of Los Angeles, a federal judge Tuesday agreed to allow settlement talks to begin anew between local leaders and a coalition of downtown residents who sued over what they claim is local government's lax response to the homelessness crisis.

Although U.S. District Judge David Carter approved the city's settlement with the L.A. Alliance for Human Rights in June, he said the county's pledge to provide 300 additional beds for homeless people with mental health or substance use disorders "fell short."

The judge also appeared irked at the proposal's lack of a judicial oversight requirement. Without the court's ability to closely monitor the settlement, the proposal is "absolutely worthless," Carter said.

"You can't put a tuxedo on a pig," the judge said from the bench.

Carter allowed for a 90-day extension of settlement talks, which he termed a "reset" that would allow the parties to return to the table to fashion a settlement that goes further than previous efforts.

The hearing in Los Angeles federal court was attended by Mayor Karen Bass, county Supervisors Janice Hahn and Hilda Solis and City Council President Paul Krekorian, among others.

Bass, who declared a citywide state of emergency on homelessness immediately following her election, has pledged to bring 17,000 people living on the streets inside during her first year in

office. She applauded the new start in talks to resolve the L.A. Alliance lawsuit.

"We think this is a new day ... the stars are aligning," she told the court.

In its March 2020 lawsuit, the L.A. Alliance accused the city and county of failing to do

enough to address the crisis. The city's settlement with the coalition was announced in April, but the county waited until September to announce its preliminary agreement with the coalition of Los Angeles business owners and sheltered and unsheltered

residents.

In November, Carter declined to approve the county's part of the settlement, suggesting that more work needed to be done to have a stronger impact on homelessness in the region.

On Tuesday, the judge

said the L.A. Alliance's lawsuit came about after "decades of inaction" resulted in "a spiraling crisis on our streets." As a result of attempts to settle, the "antagonism" that "apparently goes back decades" between local governments has dissipated, Carter said.

Along with the lack of oversight, a sticking point for Carter remains the number of mental health and substance abuse beds the county is willing to provide. Carter said the county must -- through its departments of mental health and public health -- provide for the 40% of the homeless population that suffers from mental illness and/or substance abuse issues.

Without a pledge by the county of far more than 300 beds, "I'm having a very difficult time accepting this agreement on behalf of the people of Los Angeles," the judge said.

Hahn said she was also optimistic about a newly devised settlement that would meet the court's goals.

"It breaks my heart that we had to have a lawsuit on behalf of the most vulnerable (people of the region)," she said. "We are going to work differently from this day forward. We want to solve this problem."

Elizabeth Mitchell, a lawyer representing the L.A. Alliance, said the plaintiffs are "very excited to see what progress can be made in 90 days."

When Carter eventually approves the settlement, he will sign off on the dismissal of the suit.

According to the most recent homeless count by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, there are 69,144 unhoused people living in Los Angeles County, 41,980 of them within the city. About 40% are believed to be suffering from either mental illness, drug addiction or both.

El Monte Union Celebrates Groundbreaking of Mountain View High’s Athletic Field

By Staff

The El Monte Union High School District community celebrated on Jan. 10 the groundbreaking of Mountain View High School’s Athletic Field upgrade, which will include a high-performance rubberized track and field, bleachers, concession stands and restrooms, enhanced landscaping and a grand stadium entrance, the district announced.

The goal of the MVHS Athletic Field Project, which officials expect will conclude in January 2024, is to "provide students with a space that promotes healthy living and school spirit, and will serve as a gathering place for physical fitness activities, athletic events, health and wellness instruction, student performances and school community functions," according to El Monte Union.

“The construction and improvement of the Viking stadium is a vital opportunity for us to continue to foster, nurture and inspire our students’ greatness and adds immense value to our MVHS community,” MVHS Principal Jose Relson L. Bañas said in a statement. “I want to thank our District, project partners,

community members and families for their support of the land of the Vikings. We feel extremely blessed, excited and eager for the moment we get to open the athletic field for our students.”

The groundbreaking ceremony included a performance by the MVHS cheer team, the pledge of allegiance led by Associated Student Body President Mariana Barbosa and speeches from Bañas, EMUHSD Superintendent Edward Zuniga and EMUHSD Board of Trustees President Ricardo Padilla.

MVHS students, families, staff and community members were in attendance, as were representatives of local elected officials who presented the school district with certificates of recognition.

“These projects would not be possible without the support of the community; Measure HS was strongly supported by members who understand the importance of facility improvements for our students in order for them to perform at their highest levels,” Padilla said in a statement. “This project is a reminder that we are

all united in our efforts to provide our students with quality education and stateof-the-art facilities. The future looks bright for our Vikings and on behalf of the Board of Trustees, we look forward to seeing the progress of this project throughout the year.”

The MVHS Athletic Field Project is the latest in a series of improvements to facilities throughout EMUHSD, according to the district. These modernizing upgrades are supported by funding totaling $190 million, which primarily comes from voterapproved Measure HS that district trustees approved in October 2018.

“Thank you to our Board of Trustees and community members for their generous support of the Measure HS bond, which has allowed us to invest in providing our students with safe environments that include the latest infrastructure and technology,” Zuniga said. “With these upgraded spaces, we give our students a chance to feel proud of their surroundings and help them to further achieve their academic and personal success.”

Assemblyman Holden introduces legislation on health care 'ghost networks'

By Staff

California Assemblyman Chris Holden on Friday introduced legislation that aims to end “ghost networks” and health care provider inaccuracies by reinforcing current policy with accuracy guidelines, benchmark goals, and effective enforcement methods.

A “ghost network” is a health insurance directory that includes medical professionals who are unable to meet the health care needs of patients they claim to be equipped to serve. Another issue is the care providers listed in the directory are actually out of a plan's provider network, even though they are designated as being in-network because of their inclusion in the plan directory.

“Ghost networks should not be something we accept as reality,” Holden said in a statement. “The issue here is not the quality or the cost of care, but the actual access. This bill provides solutions for Californians struggling to find their unique care needs by making the information given to them accurate and accessible.”

California has one of the nation’s strongest laws on health plan provider directories, with existing law requiring health insurance providers to pay for out-of-

network care if a consumer relied on a directory to receive those health care services.

Holden, a Democrat who represents Pasadena and communities in northern Los Angeles County, cited recent studies that indicate some health plans have inaccuracy rates as high as 80%, and major plans such as Anthem and Kaiser have inaccurate information for 20% to 38% of providers. As a result, the resulting inaccurate rosters of health care providers are referred to as “ghost networks” because they do not actually exist.

“If a health plan’s provider directory is not up-to-date, someone may end up paying more for their care, or not be able to access proper care at all,” Jose Torres Casillas, policy advocate for the consumer advocacy group Health Access California, said in a statement. “Improving compliance laws are a key way that the state can ensure that these directories are accurate. We thank Assemblymember Holden for introducing AB 236 to ensure that these directories are audited regularly so California health consumers can have faith that they are getting the best information possible to make decisions for their care.”

The 2023 Real Estate Market And You

While California has regulations for provider directories, consumer protections are not effectively enforced, according to Holden. The Department of Managed Health Care has taken just five enforcement actions, each resulting in small fines for violators. For a lot of health insurance companies, there is not much incentive to adhere to existing rules on care provider directories because of the infrequency and fiancial insignificance of fines levied.

If enacted, Holden's AB 236 would work with health care providers to incentivize compliance and would ensure that the information provided to plan enrollees is accurate.

The proposed law seeks to establish specific benchmarks for health plans provider directories: 60% accuracy by Jan. 1, 2024 and 80% accuracy by Jan. 1, 2025, according to Holden. AB 236 would also require annual audits and verification by health plans of provider directories for accuracy of all required information.

“Health is an important facet to help our communities thrive,” Holden said in a statement. “Affordable, accessible and quality care for all Californians is what we want.”

Education poll: Parents reject culture war; want to get back to basics

By Suzanne Potter, Producer , Public News Service

announced in his first address as U.S. House Speaker that he wants to combat what he describes as "woke indoctrination" in public schools. But a new poll shows very few voters consider that to be an urgent priority. A survey commissioned by the American Federation of Teachers finds that improving students' academic achievement rates much higher.

Guy Molyneux, pollster and partner at Hart Research Associates, said the hot button issues, like so-called "critical race theory," may stir up the base, but they are low-priority for the majority of voters.

"Banning CRT, giving parents the right to decide what children learn," Molyneux said. “Prosecuting teachers as charged child abusers if they teach CRT, allowing parents to have books they consider offensive removed from school libraries - just one voter in 10 thought that was a priority at all."

The survey reported voters' and parents' second highest-rated priority is to help students navigate life challenges. California Governor Gavin Newsom's proposed budget holds the line on education funding, despite a projected budget deficit. The California Federation of Teachers said in a statement its key priorities will be addressing staffing shortages and lowering class sizes.

Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, said the culture wars are part of a divisive political strategy that does not resonate with voters.

"Voters overwhelmingly say, 'Get back to basics," Weingarten said. Invest in public schools, deal with the teacher and the nurse and the guidance counselor shortages. Get educators the resources they need to create safe and welcoming environments.'"

McCarthy has signaled he will call for major spending cuts rather than raise the debt ceiling in the coming weeks. He has not specified whether those proposed cuts will target education.

Congressman Kevin McCarthy from Bakersfield announced in his first address as U-S House Speaker that he wants to combat what he describes as "woke indoctrination" in the schools. But Suzanne Potter reports a new poll shows very few voters consider that to be an urgent priority.

To be without a home to call one’s own must be one of the most harrowing conditions imaginable. And now, to see in the Monrovia Weekly the photo of a homeless man in a wheelchair magnifies the tragedy of homelessness a thousand times.

If that photo reflected society in a third world country, we’d gaze at it with pity. But let’s look at it as our national disgrace because that poor man lives (or better said, survives) here in our USA, the richest country on Earth.

How can our legislators spend, with a clear conscience, billions of taxpayer dollars to upgrade nuclear weapons? Well, silly me, the answer is simple: They never look at the homeless, never hear them, or feel their misery. Of course not!

Those politicians are too busy making laws to benefit corporations and the rich. And their only hope is that the homeless who are in wheelchairs will never vote.

Let us praise Mayor Karen Bass and the LA County Board of Supervisors for taking steps to redeem this shameful civic negligence.

Monrovia Old Town report: New year, new you?

By Shawn Spencer shawn@girlfridaysolutions.net

We are two weeks into the new year and recovering from the busy holiday season. I am just starting to be confident in what day it is, hence, no article last week (my apologies). Decorations are put away. We are finally writing the date correctly and — hopefully — sticking to the resolutions we made on New Year's Eve. What is it about the new year that makes us want to focus on being healthier, better versions of ourselves? Whether you want to eat healthier, drink less, lose weight, volunteer more, quit smoking or take up a hobby, self-improvement is never a bad idea. However, despite their big plans, many people will fail to reach the goals they set for themselves in the new year.

If this sounds like you, don’t be too hard on yourself. Even if you do not reach your goals, setting these resolutions is still a good idea. First, you are setting an intention. You are being open and honest about your current condi-

tion and what needs to be done to get you to your preferred condition. This intentionality will set you on a better path, right off the bat. Secondly, optimism feels good. Making new year’s resolutions fills us with hope and engagement in our future. This positivity is always beneficial. Tomorrow can’t really be better if we don’t believe that it can be.

There is also some inherent responsibility tied to our resolutions. Chances are we have family and friends that may be directly tied to the resolutions we make. Making healthier choices keeps us around longer for our loved ones. Working harder and/or smarter makes us better co-workers, etc. Lastly, your positive goals can work to inspire others to also be better. Sometimes, whether we realize it or not, we try harder and do better when we are with people doing the same.

If you haven’t made any resolutions yet, it’s not too late. If you have already

derailed, do not fret! January isn’t over. It’s kind of like the five-second rule...just get back on track! Strive, every day, to reach the goals you have set for yourself. Even if you don’t keep every resolution, the act of making them is a positive step in the betterment of yourself. Show yourself some grace and forgive yourself if you veer off course. Change is hard. Making new habits takes time.

Thousands of years ago, it is said that the Babylonians were the first to celebrate the New Year and make resolutions. Their ancient celebration often involved crowning a new king or

reaffirming loyalty to the existing king. Their “resolutions” were promises to the gods to pay off their debts or return borrowed items. If the Babylonians kept their word, the gods bestowed them with bountiful crops and blessings. If they did not keep their word, then they would fall from the grace of their god, which I am certain was a dreaded fate. Virginia Slims said it best: “You’ve come a long way, baby!” And boy, have we!

So, cheers to us! May we strive to do and be better every day! Happy New Year! May 2023 bring you everything you need and hope for.

Vehicle electrification creates job opportunities for disadvantaged SoCal workers

By Larry Buhl for Capital and Main. Broadcast version by Kathryn Carley for California News Service reporting for the Capital and Main-Public News Service Collaboration

Last year Armando (who requested that his last name not be used) was working as an addiction counselor when a parole officer came to his office with a flyer announcing a new nine-week training course in electric bus manufacturing technology. The company promised not to discriminate against the formerly incarcerated, among whom are some of his clients. “I wanted to see the class so I could explain it to my clients and maybe recommend it, and make sure they understood the opportunity,” Armando told Capital & Main. “And then I thought, ‘Man, this is a good company with good pay and benefits, and it’s in a growing field.’”

Armando signed up for the class himself, and after completing it last October, he was offered a position as a battery technician at Proterra at over $20 an hour, an entry level salary higher than he was earning as a counselor, with a potential to increase quickly.

True to its word, the company didn’t discriminate against him because of his past drug addiction. Armando, 52, who has been clean for five years, did have to compete with job candidates who didn’t have dings on their record and had experience in manufacturing. Now, after only six months, Armando’s eyeing a supervisory position. He’s also been helping the company screen candidates and mentoring those taking the pilot course.

“I want [students] to

understand that you can’t be late or get high or do anything stupid on the job,” Armando said. “There’s expensive equipment, and you could kill yourself if you’re careless. Some of these students never had real jobs, and I like people to get a second chance. But you have to take the nineweek course seriously.” The gratitude Armando feels toward the company that gave him a chance has made him work even harder, he said.

The program at Proterra is the fruit of a community benefit agreement (CBA) between the company, United Steelworkers Local 675, L.A.based nonprofit Jobs to Move America, and a coalition of community organizations that established standards for training, supporting and hiring job candidates from nontraditional backgrounds. They give them a chance at skilled union jobs in the growing field of green manufacturing.

A CBA is a legally binding agreement between community groups and a developer, or a company, that spells out specific benefits to the local community. Typically a CBA will be signed for a large development project, such as a new stadium, where the developer promises affordable housing, infrastructure improvements or living-wage jobs — or all of the above — in order to get a project with public investment launched. It’s a way for communities, especially marginalized ones,

to leverage their influence and ensure they aren’t left out of economic development. When CBAs apply to private companies, they’re slightly more complex, especially if a union is part of the negotiations. Government funding may be included, too, to provide workforce development.

In the case of Proterra, a Silicon Valley-based, venturecapital backed company with a zero emissions bus manufacturing plant in City of Industry, east of Los Angeles, the CBA that was signed in 2020 commits the company to hiring 50 new employees from harder-to-employ groups, including veterans, the previously incarcerated and single parents. The company also agreed to provide a customized pre-hire training program for these groups, through Citrus College, giving highly motivated job seekers a strong overview of cutting-edge electric bus manufacturing technology. So far two cohorts have finished these classes, and more than a dozen graduates have been hired full time.

Proterra and the union received $650,000 to pay for the training and stipends from the California Workforce Development Board’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, a pool of money from the state’s cap-and-trade program. That money also pays for a training stipend and supportive services like transportation or child care so that students will face fewer obstacles to completing the course.

Proterra is the second battery-powered bus manufacturer in California to enter into a CBA, giving a leg up to potential workers who are typically excluded from union jobs in manufacturing. China-based BYD signed a similar agreement in 2017 when its factory in Lancaster, just north of Los Angeles, unionized under the Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers (SMART) Local 105. With a nearly $1 million investment from California’s High Road Training Partnership, and an additional $650,000 training grant BYD now offers a six week preapprenticeship, and qualified graduates of pre-apprenticeship move on to a rigorous three-semester apprenticeship class taught through Local 105 and Antelope Valley College.

BYD also pledged to recruit 40% of its workers from disadvantaged or marginalized groups from the local community. Its apprenticeship program took three years to develop but has now graduated 20 people, with 25 more in the pipeline.

After apprenticeship, graduates can enroll in college with credits under their belt. They can get an OSHA card as well as something no other company in California offers — an Industrial Manufacturing Technician credential that is recognized nationwide.

“We want to give them a career, not just a job,” said BYD trainer and SMART orga-

nizer Willie Solorzano. “With the credential, they could go into any manufacturing company, but the idea is to work for BYD.”

Meanwhile, Proterra is in discussions with its union to establish an apprenticeship program similar to BYD’s, going beyond the pre-employment training it’s offered since 2020.

Hector Huezo, a senior staffer at Jobs to Move America, said candidates at both electric bus manufacturers are recruited from community organizations, including the Anti-Recidivism Coalition, alcohol and drug diversion programs and faith based groups. Through an enforceable commitment in the CBA, the companies won’t discriminate against workers for prior incarceration.

“We create the expectation that [job seekers] will get a fair shot,” Huezo said.

All potential candidates for the courses, which are a prerequisite to employment at either company, must be screened through the Los Angeles County Workforce Development agency. And with the help of JMA and workers like Armando, the final list is whittled down to 20 for each course. Manufacturers get the final say in who’s hired, and the agreements do not preclude the companies from hiring job seekers applying through traditional channels.

“The companies agree to be open to interview and offer

jobs to our candidates,” Huezo said. “We ID these people from the onset and look for the barriers they may face so that during training their issues will be addressed, so they will be job- ready and be able to compete with candidates with more advantages.”

Not everyone will finish the courses and not everyone who finishes the courses will be hired. Huezo added that companies must explain why they didn’t hire a certain candidate. “There may be legit reasons,” he said.

Out of Proterra’s first class, only five of 12 students received job offers at the company, and one has since been terminated. The hiring record for the second cohort, which ended in December, was better: Out of 12, 10 got job offers. Huezo said the first class started in the fall of 2020, before the CBA was finalized and case management for the trainees was in place. Now with stronger efforts to recruit, plus more active case management, Huezo anticipates an even better placement record for the latest class.

Typically, county job centers have a light, almost hands off approach to workforce development, Huezo said. “We offer full case management and follow up to see what [candidates] need and if they are ready to be employed.”

‘Mr. Yunioshi’ explores the question of what roles actors should choose to play

May S. Ruiz MayChu@att.net

Mr. Yunioshi is a character in the 1961 movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” which was adapted from Truman Capote’s novella of the same title.

Mickey Rooney, wearing heavy make-up and mouth fittings, depicted Mr. Yunioshi as a clumsy Japanese photographer who bumped into furniture. Rooney’s interpretation — a ludicrous caricature — has since become the topic of much critical commentary.

In retrospect, it was a monumental mistake to cast Rooney as an Asian man. However, it can be argued that during the Golden Age of Hollywood, representation hadn’t entered our collective consciousness and movie studios mainly hired known “stars.” In 1957 Yul Brynner played King Mongkut of Thailand on stage and later in the film adaptation of “The King and I.” Katherine Hepburn was cast as an Asian woman in the 1944 drama “Dragon Seed.” Luise Rainer even won an Academy Award for her role in yellowface in the 1937 film “The Good Earth.” That didn’t make it right, of course, but it was the reality at that time.

A reversal of that situation is what’s in store in “Mr. Yunioshi.” We’ll have the chance to see for ourselves how an Asian American playwright and actor imagined what Rooney was thinking to arrive at his depiction of the character when the play opens at the Sierra Madre Playhouse on Jan. 27. Running through February 5, “Mr. Yunioshi” was written by J. Elijah Cho who also performs the titular role.

Interviewed by email, Cho informs me that he knew acting was his calling the first time he saw Ke Huy Quan in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” and in “The Goonies.” When he graduated from high school on a military base in Korea, one of his aunts gave him a copy of Stephen King’s “On Writing.” King’s book was what motivated him to write

plays that he could ultimately perform himself when he went on to study Theatre Performance at the University of South Florida.

Cho’s role as Wonderboy on AMC’s “Halt and Catch Fire” was his introduction to American audiences. He says, “Halt is, to date, my biggest acting credit, and I’m so grateful to have been a part of a show that I’m also a huge fan of. What I’m best known for right now is this YouTube video from Jubilee Media, ‘Do All Asian Americans Think Alike?’ I’ve been recognized a few times for that, which

most pointed to example of yellowface in cinema and people have protested screenings of ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ because of his scenes. I don’t think of myself as an agitator, but I thought it was a subject that a lot of people (myself included) felt strong feelings about and that maybe humor and empathy could be used to help us navigate a way through it.”

Cho adds, “I think it can be hard for an actor to decide what roles they choose because they have very little say in the opportunities they are given. I think writing

is weird and fun. I’m hoping soon I’ll be known for ‘Mr. Yunioshi’!”

Asked when he created “Mr. Yunioshi” and what prompted him to, he replies, “I wrote Mr. Yunioshi after my time on ‘Halt…’ was over but I had the idea before then. The play was written as sort of a humorous but heartfelt response to a local theater gatekeeper and also the limited roles and opportunities specifically for Asian American actors. I hope someday other Asian actors will see and want to do the show for their communities.

I think Mickey Rooney is the

helps, but it comes with its own set of responsibilities. I believe an actor’s responsibility is to live truthfully under imaginary circumstances. And it certainly helps when you’re given a bit of control over those circumstances.”

As to the audience takeaway, Cho says, “Empathy! I think that’s the big thing I hope audiences take from ‘Mr. Yunioshi.’ I also hope they laugh and that they can leave some things behind, if that makes sense. I’ve had a few people tell me they thought I’d be angrier, but I don’t want to hate Mickey Rooney. I mean, I’ll

make fun of him, but I think audiences can tell if it’s mean. And I don’t want to put more meanness out there.”

I ask him if the role gets easier now that he’s performed it a few times, and he responds, “It’s a solo performance, so it’s only me on stage the entire time; and that’s challenging in a lot of ways. I’ve performed it a lot now and I feel like each show has prepared me a bit more mentally and emotionally for the next. It has gotten easier and while it is exhausting, I’m always so excited to perform it for people!”

So what’s next for him?

Cho says, “I’m writing a few new things — a horror comedy pilot and a horror screenplay among them…I’ve also got a few things for stage that are in the works. The next thing for me will be a sketch show at the Pack Theater with my team, ‘Surprise B*tch!’ (or ‘Surprise Beach,’ if we think there will be children present but it’s a late enough show that I think we’re okay…).”

While Mr. Yunioshi is a comedian, at the core it examines thought-provoking questions: Should actors have the opportunity to play ANY role? Could there ever have been a “right” way to

play it? What compels an actor to play a character that they really shouldn’t be playing?

“Mr. Yunioshi” is what Cho imagined informed (however ill it was) Rooney’s acting choice in his portrayal of a fictional Asian character. He treated his subject with kindness and compassion — he showed that Rooney’s intent was simply to make the audience laugh. And many people did when the film was first released. But we have since evolved as a society and we now recognize that insensitivity is no laughing matter.

Parade, service events, Unity Walk, cathedral Mass mark King Day

By StevenHerbert

Martin Luther King Jr. Day was marked Monday by the 38th Kingdom Day Parade, service projects, a Unity Walk in Santa Clarita, a program at the California African American Museum and a Mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels.

The three-mile parade began at 10 a.m. on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, just west of Western Avenue, proceed west to Crenshaw Boulevard and then south to Vernon Avenue, concluding near the K Line’s Leimert Park Station. The theme was “America, the Best Hope of the World.”

Hundreds of people lined the parade route, with days of rain finally letting up and the skies clearing for the procession.

The grand marshal was George C. Fatheree III, the leader of a team of attorneys who secured the return of Bruce’s Beach to the descendants of Willa and Charles Bruce nearly a century after it had been taken by Manhattan Beach as a result of racial animus.

“It shows that as a country we’re still capable of great things,” Fatheree told ABC7 along the route. “We showed it’s not too late, we can get it done. It’s fitting that we’re here on Dr. King’s birthday, this celebration, it’s about doing what’s right. One of my favorite Dr. King quotes is `the time is always right to do right,’ and that time is right now.”

This was the first time the parade will be on Martin Luther King Jr. Day since 2020. The 2021 parade was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic. The 2022 parade was initially canceled due to the severity of serious spikes in COVID-19 hospitalizations, then rescheduled on June 20, the day the federal Juneteenth holiday was observed.

The USC Trojan Marching Band participated in the parade for the first time along with the new all-Black majorette team Cardinal Divas of SC. The Los Angeles Unified

School District All District High School Honor Band also participated, along with the marching bands from Centennial, Compton and Crenshaw high schools.

Other participants included equestrian units from the Equine Advisory Council, Elite Horseback Riders Club and Urban Saddles; the Crenshaw Christian Center Drill Team and Drumline, the Kim Eung Hwa Dance Company and Tommy the Clown, credited as the creator of the clown-based dance style krumping.

Among the dignitaries taking part were Mayor Karen Bass, Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore, Los Angeles County Supervisors Lindsey Horvath and Holly Mitchell, Reps. Maxine Waters and Sydney Kamlager, Sen. Steve Bradford, Los Angeles City Councilmen Marqueece Harris-Dawson and Curren Price, LAUSD Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho and Board of Education member George J. McKenna III.

“It’s always the feeling of joy, celebrating Dr. King’s

legacy,” Bass told ABC7 during the parade. “But it’s a time to get energized and re- committed to what he was fighting for to begin with. And this year we always ask ourselves at this time of the year what would Dr. King say? What would Dr. King think? And just imagine Dr. King coming to Los Angeles and seeing thousands of Angelenos sleeping on the street. He would expect everybody in Los Angeles to step up and deal with that situation, so that’s what I’m calling on people to do.”

A variety of service projects were also planned throughout Los Angeles County to fulfill the goal set by Congress in 1994 to make the day a “day on, not a day off,”

The nonprofit volunteer action center L.A. Works held a Day of Service from noon3:30 p.m. at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, where volunteers created urban greening kits and assembled disaster preparedness materials.

The event also included a food festival with vegan food, the opportunity to learn about local efforts to combat

climate change and a family zone with volunteer activities designed for children.

King spoke at the Coliseum in 1964.

The volunteer organization Big Sunday conducted its 11th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Clothing Drive & Community Breakfast from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. at 24th St. Elementary School in South Los Angeles. Volunteers were expected to collect and assemble 2,023 cold-weather clothing kits that include sweatshirts, T-shirts, hats, scarves, gloves and socks for people who are struggling.

Big Sunday volunteers also undertook several improvement projects for and with the 24th Street Elementary School community, including indoor mural and gardening projects, according to David Levinson, Big Sunday’s founder and executive director.

Service projects in Long Beach organized by the leadership program Leadership Long Beach included:

— a sock drive; — letter-writing to senior citizens;

— pulling weeds, mulching

areas to prevent weeds from resurfacing and planting native plants at Willow Springs Park;

— planting succulents for participating businesses, painting planter boxes, picking up trash and street cleaning on Fourth Street;

— picking up trash, painting the picnic area, restoring playground sand and pressure-washing the basketball courts at MacArthur Park;

— painting trash cans in the Santa Fe Business Corridor;

— watering the 100 baby trees planted in Long Beach’s Westside in November; and — restoring sidewalks in Long Beach’s Westside.

Santa Clarita held its second annual Unity Walk in celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day at Central Park, focusing on King’s legacy and contributions to the nation.

Several speakers celebrated King’s life and work, encourage attendees to embrace King’s core values of faith, education, nonviolence, love, leadership, community and hope and participate in a

day of service.

The theme of the program at the California African American Museum in Exposition Park for Martin Luther King Jr. Day was “MLK: A Legacy of Service.”

A King study group session began with the playing of a recording of King’s 1967 speech at Riverside Church in New York City, “Time to Break the Silence,” followed by a group discussion about how his words relate to the present.

Storytellers from the Los Angeles Public Library will read children’s books about King and how to build a better world from 12:30-1 p.m.

The Inner City Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles will perform a tribute to King from 2-3 p.m.

The program also includes family activities, craft-making and food trucks.

A Mass commemorating King’s call for service will be celebrated by Archbishop José H. Gomez at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels at 3 p.m.

In his proclamation declaring Monday Martin Luther King Jr. Day President Joe Biden said, “On this day of commemoration, service and action, let us hold up a mirror to America and ask ourselves: `What kind of country do we want to be?’

“Will we honor Dr. King’s legacy by rising together — buttressed by each other’s successes, enriched by each other’s differences and made whole by each other’s compassion? I believe we can.

“It will require constant care for our democracy, stubborn faith in this great experiment, and a commitment to stamping out discrimination in all forms. It will demand honest reflection about how far we have come and how far we have yet to go to be the best version of ourselves.

“But like Dr. King, I know that there is nothing beyond this nation’s capacity and that we will fulfill the promise of America for all Americans — perfecting the union we love and must protect.”

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as

a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

Notice To Potential Bidders: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

training in a conference room at Proterra last month, an instructor from Citrus College reminded students that they should contact her if they expect any difficulty with getting to class on time — an acknowledgement that many may have responsibilities like child or elder care, or may lack reliable transportation.

The group of 20, some wearing masks and social distancing, included those with working knowledge of manufacturing tools like torque wrenches. Two were women, and two were employees at Proterra, who were there to provide assistance.

Dr. Michelle Yanez, the principal of My Workforce Solutions, developed the current Proterra training with Citrus College, and said that one lesson learned is to give students more hands-on training, rather than lectures, something akin

to an apprenticeship model. She’s also helping JMA and Proterra bring other employers into their network who will consider job seekers not chosen by Proterra, ideally green employers or those in the electric mobility sector.

“Another change that we made was we interviewed in a panel style on recruitment day so that all the interviewers could hear the interviewees at once,” Yanez said.

Those included Proterra’s HR director, a representative from L.A. County Workforce Development and Armando. She added that the training will continue to strengthen the relationships among all the stakeholders.

In an email, Yanez added that the college, county workforce development and Proterra generally do not know what each other does and how to work with one another. “My role is to bridge them and translate their needs to help them work together. For example, Citrus College and Proterra may not

fully understand about WIOA training dollars but they do know that L.A. County provides supportive services and incentives for employers to train and hire their participants. For workforce development, partners have to change their mindset, and we’re seeing that.”

Stakeholders say EV bus manufacturing is a natural place for CBAs, because green manufacturing is a high growth industry, and companies expect to hire many more workers in the coming years. Beyond California’s climate goals, the Los Angeles City Council passed a resolution officially supporting legislation mandating that 100% of vehicles sold in the state be zero emission by 2030. One local transit company, Foothill Transit, purchased 30 electric buses from Proterra last year. With the wider region’s plans for zero emission vehicles, there’s reason to believe the company will need more skilled workers soon.

In an email, Shane Levy, a Proterra spokesperson, said approximately half of trainees who completed the program have been hired full time. “Recruitment strategies to attract, hire, train and retain employees from all backgrounds strengthens our workforce, identifies key talent and benefits the communities where we live and work.”

Yanez said that, in theory, CBAs could work in any manufacturing company. “They must be employerdriven to be successful. It’s good if the company says, ‘If someone trains them we will hire them,’ and good if the company trains them too. But sometimes they put the cart before the horse; some training programs result in no jobs.” She also said a

community college partner is important, as well as funding, which could come from the employer, or in the case of BYD and Proterra, from state and federal dollars.

Buoyed by the early successes at Proterra and BYD, Jobs to Move America is working to bring similar community benefit agreements to other areas of the country, including regions less hospitable to unions.

“We are not a coalition for minimum wage jobs,” Huezo said. “Once people get in jobs, we want them to get good benefits. A piece of this [training] is giving workers [the chance] to decide for themselves if the union is right for them.”
