Under the provisionally approved compact, caregivers would receive an immediate 75-cent hourly wage increase following implementation of the new terms, then another 75-cent hike in January 2024, and a final $1 increase in January 2025.

An investigation was continuing Tuesday into the fatal shooting by sheriff's deputies of a Moreno Valley man with schizophrenia.

The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday tentatively approved a three-year agreement guaranteeing modest hourly wage increases for Riverside County In-Home Supportive Services

caregivers, whose ranks the county has been trying to increase.

In a 5-0 vote, the board signed off on a wage growth plan, as well as increased appropriations for health

"In-home workers perform a critical service to help elderly and disabled residents safely stay in their homes," Board Chairman Kevin Jeffries said.

The shooting occurred around 12:30 p.m. Monday in the 25400 block of Filaree Avenue, where deputies responded to a call from the man's mother, who said her son was acting aggressively toward her and was under the influence of an "unknown substance," according to the sheriff's department.

Sheriff's officials said they approached the man, 33-yearold Jesus Antonio Rodriguez, who ran to his bedroom and yelled at deputies from the doorway. Rodriguez continued acting in an aggressive and uncooperative manner, sheriff's officials said, and he then grabbed a baseball bat with "sharp metal spikes on the end."

Deputies twice deployed a stun gun, to no avail, after which Rodriguez "advanced towards the deputies," who opened fire, sheriff's officials said.

"Lifesaving measures were taken by deputies and then paramedics, but Rodriguez was pronounced deceased at the scene," according to the sheriff's department.

Deputies involved in the shooting were placed on paid administrative leave while an investigation is conducted. It was unclear how many deputies were on the scene and how many opened fire. No deputies were injured.

Rodriguez's relatives told reporters on the scene that he was having a mental health crisis, and noted that deputies had been called to the home before for similar issues.

"The cops have been to my mother's house so many times that they know he's schizophrenic," the man's sister, Isabel Rodriguez, told ABC7. "She disclosed to them that he had a BB gun -- it wasn't a gun. It was a BB gun. ...

"There's no reason they couldn't have Tasered him. They could have used a different kind of method, especially since he's schizophrenic."

Janet Jackson's opening night performance will be June 10, also featuring rapper Ludacris and the Youth Orchestra Los Angeles, YOLA.

Other featured performances during the season will be the Beach Boys during the annual Fourth of July fireworks shows, a July 14-15 stint by Kool & The Gang and Village People, a July 16 double-bill of Sparks and They Might Be Giants, and a 90th birthday celebration for Quincy Jones on July 28-29.

The shot LeBron James scored to break the NBA scoring record will go down as an iconic moment in Los Angeles Lakers history, in Los Angeles sports history.

James scored on a fadeaway jumper with 10.9 seconds left in the third quarter of Tuesday night's game against the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder at Crypto.com Arena and passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA's all-time scoring leader with 38,388 points.

It was a shot on par with Magic Johnson's baby hook to win Game 4 of the 1987 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics. It matched the shot Derek Fisher made with 0.4 seconds left to win Game 5 of the 2004 Western Conference Finals against the Sacramento Kings. It was as big as any of the shots Kobe Bryant made in his 81-point game in 2006 against the Toronto Raptors. It was as unstoppable as any of the sky hooks AbdulJabbar made in his career with the Lakers.

After the game, James, who scored 38 points in his team's 133-130 loss to the Thunder, said he wanted to add a signature touch to his record-breaking basket.

"I know a lot of people wanted me to go to the skyhook to break the record or one of my signature

dunks," James said after the game. "But my fadeaway is a signature play as well. I was able to get it and touch nothing but the bottom of the net."

Abdul-Jabbar witnessed the record-breaking moment from the stands. He was one of several celebrities who were in attendance for the game. Denzel Washington, Jay-Z, Bad Bunny, LL Cool J, Usher and Andy Garcia were on hand for the historic moment in NBA history. Lakers legends James Worthy, Bob McAdoo and Johnson, along with Dwyane Wade, who played with James on two NBA championship teams with the Miami Heat, were also in the arena for the game.

After James scored the record-breaking basket, the game stopped for about 10 minutes for a brief ceremony to commemorate the moment. James hugged his family, wife, mother and three children, and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver congratulated James for breaking the record.

James thanked the Lakers' fans and posed for pictures with Silver and Abdul-Jabbar.

James entered the game needing 36 points to pass Abdul-Jabbar for the scoring record. He scored 20 points in the first half of the game and added 16 points in the third quarter. His 14-foot fadeaway at the end of the

third quarter was the shot that put him over the top.

"I just played the game as it is supposed to be played tonight, as I've always done. Didn't press myself. ... When it comes to the record I felt pretty good, good rhythm," James said. "To break the record, I was able to get to a good spot on the floor where I am really comfortable with and get to one of my patented fadeaway shots."

He finished the game with 38 points on 13-of-20 shooting and made four 3-pointers. He added seven rebounds, three assists and three steals.

After the game, he paid homage to NBA greats, Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Oscar Robertson, Elgin Baylor, and Johnson and Abdul-Jabbar.

"I could be up here all night talking about these great legends," he said.

"For me personally it's an honor to just be named with the greats, being in the conversation with the greats who played this game before me and some of the greats that's playing right now."

The scoring record stood for 38 years, set by AbdulJabbar in 1984 when he passed Chamberlain. The 38-year-old James was born about nine months after Abdul-Jabbar set the scoring

My wife and I agree that if we were young and had a newborn son, we’d name him Brandon in honor of Brandon Tsay, the local hero who did what is the foremost duty in all societies: To protect one’s fellow humans from harm.

Brandon Tsay risked his own life when he confronted and wrestled away the gun from the man who, just minutes before, had shot 20 people (11 fatally) in a Monterey Park ballroom.

And we’d make sure that our son never forgot that remarkable young man whose name he bore.

Career corner: The stories we tell ourselves

By Angela COPELAND angela@copelandcoaching.com

Interviewing for jobs is hard. Getting an interview is hard. This is especially true when you don't know someone already at the company where you're applying. Through the process of automated email rejections to our job applications, we try to make sense of it all. It's human nature to try to piece together what we can't see. It helps us to feel more in control. It helps to try to perform better the next time, if only we understood what went wrong now.

When I hear from job seekers, they are almost always beat down. It's a lot like dating. The entire process can be rough until you find the one person you happen to click with. Until that point, the experience is a sea of rejections and unanswered questions. When you ask a job seeker why they weren't hired, you'll hear common themes. "I didn't meet the minimum number of years of experience required." "I've never worked

in that industry before." "They weren't impressed with my job history."

What is interesting is what comes next. If you ask the same jobseeker how they received this feedback, they didn't. Very often, they never got a job interview. But, because the job description was so extensive, it's easy to find a spot where their experience didn't align with the job posting. That's right. They deducted that they weren't a match based on what they know about the role.

The problem is, this logic is flawed. Don't get me wrong. The job seeker could be correct. But, more than likely, a human never saw their job application at all. Unfortunately, the system of applying online is flawed. And, beyond that, online job postings allow hundreds of people to apply to a single posting with just a few clicks.

Sadly, job searching has evolved into a numbers game. In order to find a new

job, I suggest job seekers try to set a goal to apply to 100 jobs. The number seems high, but it's about increasing your odds. The more applications you put in (for roles you're a fit for), the more likely you are to get an interview. The more often you have a friend refer you to a role who already works at the company, the more likely you are to get an interview. The more often you email the hiring manager directly, the more likely you are to get an interview. Getting an interview is key. If you don't speak

to a human, it's possible a human never saw your resume. That's why applying to so many jobs is important. And, that's why going the extra mile by tapping your network is important. Set goals, and stick to them. When you are rejected, try to accept that a large part of the problem is the system. Every rejection should not be taken as a personal attack, but as a message to keep applying to other opportunities.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the WILL or estate, or both of RALPH ALFRED CASTRO.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that ANTHONY R. CASTRO be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

Board approves relaxation of payment terms for cannabis dispensaries

By City News Service

Young man accused of killing Desert Hot Springs man to stand trial

By City News Service

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved the relaxation of payment terms required by conditional use permits granted to four marijuana dispensaries under construction in different parts of Riverside County, enabling the owner of the businesses to postpone satisfying a bill in excess of $1 million.

Sean St. Peter, operator of the Cannabis 21 chain, was the subject of a brief public hearing focused on his operations in the unincorporated communities of Bermuda Dunes, Highgrove, Mead Valley and Winchester.

Following a short presentation by the county Transportation & Land Management Agency, and a word of thanks from St. Peter, the board unanimously authorized modification of the development agreements tied to each of his four outlets, which the board first approved in 2020 and 2021.

The amendments specifically strike a requirement that St. Peter satisfy all the predetermined public benefit payments to the county "prior to the first grading permit

or the first building permit" being issued and instead allow him to complete the payments as a "final condition prior to occupancy" of the businesses.

The TLMA had recommended that the board accept the changes.

St. Peter owes the county a total of $444,871 under the development agreement for the Bermuda Dunes operation, $166,109 for the Highgrove location, $180,608 for the Mead Valley dispensary, and $260,454 for the one in Winchester.

The Bermuda Dunes outlet will be a 13,969-squarefoot facility at 39225 Washington St.; the Highgrove business — the first one approved — will be a .33-acre vending site at Center Street and Stephens Avenue; the Mead Valley outlet will be on a 1.27-acre lot in the area of the Cajalco Expressway and Harvill Avenue; and the Winchester shop will be an 8,400-square-foot facility near California Avenue and Highway 74.

TLMA officials said construction and renovations are in progress at several of

the locations.

St. Peter did not specify publicly why he sought the changes.

The conditional use permits and development agreements for each are valid for 10 years.

Board Chairman Kevin Jeffries complained last year that most of the dispensaries that the board had authorized in unincorporated areas were behind in construction, and one in Lakeland Village had been entirely abandoned, leaving behind a half-finished structure marred by graffiti and refuse.

Jeffries called for a halt to further permitting of cannabis outlets until the ones approved were further along in development. TLMA officials have not brought any permit proposals forward since.

The county's 2018 Marijuana Comprehensive Regulatory Framework, codified under Ordinance No. 348, provides for steps that prospective businesses must take to be eligible for permits. Safety and health safeguards are part of the regulatory stipulations.

ALa Quinta man will be arraigned next week on a murder charge stemming from the shooting death of a 20-yearold man whose body was found in the open desert of Desert Hot Springs.

At the end of a preliminary hearing Monday, Riverside County Superior Court Judge Edward Forstenzer ruled there was sufficient evidence to warrant a trial for Jose Manuel Angel Arellano, 23, on the murder charge. A post-preliminary hearing arraignment was set for Feb. 16.

Arellano is accused in the slaying of David Joaquin Murrieta of Desert Hot Springs, according to Sgt. Rick Espinoza of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. According to court records, 27-year-old Gabriel "Vago" Magdaleno is also accused in the case, but was charged separately from Arellano with murder and a sentence-enhancing allegation of discharging a firearm causing great bodily injury.

According to Espinoza, deputies from the Palm Desert sheriff's station investigating a missing person case discovered human remains on Jan. 21,

2021, in the area of Mission Lakes Boulevard and Little Morongo Road.

Sheriff's Detective Martin Alfaro testified in Arellano's preliminary hearing Monday that Murrieta's body was found with three gunshot wounds -- one entering from the back of his head, one from the left side of his head and one from the right side of his chin -- in a shallow grave under a set of metal springs in the open desert.

Alfaro said Arellano drove from Tijuana, Mexico, to the Palm Desert sheriff's station on Feb. 17, 2021, to tell "his side of the story" and alleged that his friend, Magdaleno, was the one who shot Murrieta on Jan. 14, 2021.

According to Alfaro, Arellano said the trio were at Murrieta's house before they all left in the defendant's truck and drove toward Indio. At some point while Arellano was driving on Intestate 10 approaching Cook Street, Magdaleno and Murrieta began arguing, Alfaro testified.

Both men had guns in their hands during the argument, and Arellano said Magdaleno felt disrespected, according to a declaration in support of Magdaleno's

arrest warrant filed by Alfaro.

"Arellano told me that he saw Magdaleno shoot once at victim Murrieta in the back of the head and subsequently saw him shoot him two additional times after," Alfaro testified Monday.

The defendant then drove to the location where they ended up burying Murrieta with a shovel that was in the back of the truck, Alfaro said.

Arellano subsequently went to a house on Sixth Street to get rid of his clothes by burning them before driving his truck to Mexico, Alfaro said.

According to inmate records, Magdaleno was arrested Dec. 13, 2022, and he remains held at the Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside on $1 million bail. A declaration in support of his arrest was filed by Alfaro on Aug. 18, 2022, according to court records.

Arellano remains held at the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta on $1 million bail.

Arellano does not have any documented felony convictions in Riverside County. Magdaleno pleaded guilty to two counts of robbery in 2014 in Riverside County.

Officials take preemptive steps to prevent 'Super Bloom' chaos in Elsinore

By City News Service

Man charged with molesting Moreno Valley girl several times

ALake Elsinore canyon where a rich poppy bloom may be taking shape — certain to attract throngs to the area — will be closed to the public for the duration of the bloom as a safety precaution and to prevent a repeat of the "nightmare" scenario that played out during the last "super bloom" four years ago, officials announced Tuesday.

"We are working to keep the public safe. Our community's safety is our main focus," Lake Elsinore Mayor Natasha Johnson said during a news briefing adjacent to the Walker Canyon Trailhead. "Walker Canyon is closed to all visitors."

Johnson was joined by Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, representatives from the California Highway Patrol and others to make the announcement.

The mayor said that the current bloom, which is still in the incipient stage, does not appear to have anywhere close to the same brilliance or dimensions of the one that occurred in 2019. But the city wanted to implement a "keep out" policy ahead of time, lest outsiders be tempted to swarm the city and its environs, as happened four years ago.

"The 2019 bloom became a national ... and international phenomenon," Johnson said. "Numerous problems occurred on our trails and roads. There were Disneyland-size crowds wanting to see the poppies. This (bloom) is day and night compared to 2019. Yet here we are again, talking about another large bloom."

According to the mayor, the memories of the prior event remain vivid, and that's what prompted the city to opt for a hard closure, rather than attempt to make accommodations.

"The last time was like out of a movie," she said. "There was not a neighborhood that wasn't impacted by the gridlock. Our five freeway exits into the city

were jammed. The freeway was completely stopped, with people getting out of their cars. Our first responders were having challenges getting through traffic. Our residents did not a have a quality of life for several weeks. The flowers were beautiful, but the scene was a nightmare."

Bianco called the newly announced hard closure part of an "educational and enforcement response."

"But we will have zero tolerance for people who are here trespassing," the sheriff said. "This is a response to what we had last time, with the amount of people, who had no regard for the residents or properties around here. Last time, there were many injuries, and we had to conduct many rescues. We're doing everything we can to prevent that this time."

He noted that vehicles will be impounded and towed if they're parked illegally in the vicinity of Walker Canyon, and individuals who ignore the closure signs going into the canyon will be subject to arrest.

California Highway Patrol Lt. Craig Palmer reminded motorists that the freeway shoulders are to be used "for emergencies

only" — not for stopping to take pictures or video.

"It's incumbent on every member of the community to do their part," he said.

Lake Elsinore City Manager Jason Simpson pointed out that an alternate means of viewing the poppy bloom is via the city's Walker Canyon camera: http://63.42.216.178:8088/ axis-cgi/mjpg/video. cgi?resolution=640x480.

The Riverside County Parks & Recreation Department also offers maps of potential bloom sites. The web portal is www.rivcoparks.org.

The Walker Canyon hillsides remain mostly green at this point.

The 2019 "Super Bloom" occurred in the wake of major winter rainfall, some of it damaging.

Officials were caught off-guard by the surge of visitors to the city, Decker Canyon, Horsethief Canyon and the Alberhill community. During the weekend before the official start of spring, tens of thousands of people converged on the area, jamming Interstate 15, turning shoulder space into temporary parking, as well as clogging the Ortega (74) Highway and lining residential streets, virtually trapping locals, including Riverside County

By City News Service

Supervisor Kevin Jeffries and then-state Sen. Melissa Melendez, in their homes.

Law enforcement initially attempted to close roadway access to Walker Canyon, but that didn't stop people from hiking into the hills.

Within a week, officials designed a transportation and traffic control plan, providing shuttle bus access to the poppy fields, with designated parking areas.

The bloom took a tragic turn when CHP Sgt. Steve Licon, a motorcycle patrol supervisor, was struck and killed while working extra hours to provide traffic enforcement along I-15 on Saturday, April 6, 2019.

Licon, 53, was in the process of writing a ticket when he was hit by then36-year-old Michael Joseph Callahan, who was driving under the influence and speeding in his sedan along the shoulder of southbound I-15, just north of Nichols Road, to get around stopand-go traffic.

Callahan was sentenced to 15 years to life in state prison in October 2021.

The bloom began to fade by early April 2019 and was all but gone later that month as conditions turned hot and dry. Poppies didn't carpet hillsides in 2020, 2021 and 2022 due to the drought.

A55-year-old man accused of sexually assaulting a Moreno Valley girl and possibly perpetrating similar assaults elsewhere was charged Wednesday with two counts of lewd acts on a minor under 14 years old.

David Anthony Padilla was arrested and booked into the Smith Correctional Facility in Banning Friday following a Riverside County Sheriff's Department investigation.

Padilla, who is being held on $500,000 bail, was slated to make his initial court appearance Wednesday afternoon at the Riverside Hall of Justice.

According to sheriff's Investigator James Merrill, detectives received information last week that the defendant had allegedly committed unspecified lascivious acts on a child, identified in court documents only as "C.B.," in the 11000 block of Hummingbird Place, near Swan Street, in Moreno Valley.

Merrill said sufficient evidence was gathered to obtain an arrest warrant for Padilla, who was taken into custody without incident at the intersection of Swan and Pigeon Pass Road Friday night.

Court documents allege that the defendant molested C.B. last June and December. The circumstances behind the alleged assaults, including the defendant's relationship, if any, to the victim were not disclosed.

Merrill said Padilla is additionally under investigation for alleged sexual assaults in the city of Upland and in Hawaii.

The defendant has no documented prior felony convictions in Riverside County.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City Council will consider whether adoption of the proposed Zoning Code Amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15061(b)(3), the “common sense rule” that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and that where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Since the proposed changes are limited to procedures and requirements for Planned Developments and do not pertain to any specific land use permissions or development standards, there is no possibility that the amendments will have a significant effect on the environment.

PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: On September 28, 2022, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and recommended approval of the environmental determination, adoption of the required findings, and approval of the Zoning Code Amendment to eliminate the ability for future Planned Development applications to be submitted to the City.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council will hold a public hearing to receive testimony, oral and written, on the proposed Zoning Code Amendment and environmental determination. The hearing is scheduled for:

Date: Monday, February 27, 2023

Time: 5:30 p.m.

Place: City Hall Council Chambers, Room S249

100 North Garfield Avenue

Public Information: Any interested party or their representative may appear at the meeting and comment on the project.

record on April 5, 1984.

Lakers forward Thomas Bryant, who was on the court with James when he broke the record, said it was "absolutely amazing."

"It doesn't happen in a lifetime — someone breaks the scoring record that no one thought would ever be broken," he said.

Lakers coach Darvin Ham said after the game James' teammates wanted to see him break the record, and that might have been a distraction and led to the Lakers' loss.

"The focus was more about trying to get LeBron to the record as opposed to just playing natural basketball. We just had too many mistakes," Ham said. "It sucks we didn't get the win on a night like this. There's a lot of things to pull from it, a lot of things to take away. I'm happy LeBron was able to accomplish what he accomplished."

career rebounds and 91st in career blocks. He has averaged 27.2 points per game in his 20 seasons in the NBA and is averaging 30.0 points per game this season, becoming the oldest player to average 30 points per game. He has 38,390 points in his career. He said he didn't want to wait another game to break the record.

"Tomorrow's not promised. I had an opportunity to do it tonight and I was going to try and make it happen," James said. "I was superefficient and I was able to get it done."

Mayor Karen Bass ordered Los Angeles City Hall to be lit in the Lakers' colors of purple and gold Wednesday after James set the record.

Gustavo Dudamel, the music and artistic director for the Los Angeles Philharmonic since 2009, will leave the organization in 2026 to assume the same position with the New York Philharmonic, it was announced Tuesday.

"Today, above all, I am grateful," Dudamel, 42, said in a statement released by the New York Philharmonic. "I am grateful to the musicians and leadership of the New York Philharmonic as we embark upon this new and beautiful journey together. As the great poet Federico García Lorca said: `Every step we take on earth brings us to a new world.'

"I gaze with joy and excitement at the world that lies before me in New York City," he said.

Dudamel has previously conducted 26 concerts with the New York Philharmonic, dating back to 2007. He will conduct three performances in New York May 19-21 of Mahler's Symphony No. 9, according to the NY Phil.

"This is a dream come true for our musicians, our audience, and certainly for me," NY Phil President/ CEO Deborah Borda said in a statement. "The coming together of a great orchestra, a visionary music and artistic director, and our transformed hall promises the richest of futures."

Dudamel, a Venezuela native, also currently serves as the music director of the Opéra National de Paris and

His flamboyant style as a conductor and passion for music is credited with leading a resurgence of the LA Phil and enhancing access to music for youth and underserved communities.

"Since he first took the stage at the Hollywood Bowl as the music and artistic director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 2009, Gustavo's passion and musicianship have thrilled millions of people around the world," LA Phil CEO Chad Smith said in a statement.

"From programming some of the most ambitious works ever staged, inspiring the orchestra to reach new levels of artistry, expanding the limits of Walt Disney Concert Hall, and demonstrating the power of music to change people's lives through YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles), Gustavo has left indelible marks on classical music, the LA Phil and Los Angeles. We are deeply proud of what we have achieved, and will continue to, under his guidance.

"From our earliest days, the LA Phil has been a trailblazer, boldly embracing the new, welcoming the world's greatest artists to our stages and redefining the role of an orchestra in our community. The search for our next music director will be conducted with this same spirit as we define the future of our organization," Smith said.

Dudamel's personality led

to him transcending the world of classical music, crossing into the world of Hollywood with voice roles in the film "Trolls World Tour" and "The Simpsons," and appearances in the series "Mozart in the Jungle" and "Sesame Street."

He conducted the score for Steven Spielberg's adaptation of "West Side Story," and also conducted the opening and closing credit scores for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." He also led the LA Phil in a 2019 performance at the Academy Awards. In addition, Dudamel conducted the LA Phil in performances with Christina Aguilera and Billie Eilish and Finneas.

Born Jan. 26, 1981, in Barquisimeto, Venezuela, the son of a trombonist and a singing teacher, Dudamel began reading scores by the time he was 10 years old.

He is a product of "El Sistema," Venezuela's acclaimed youth program of immersive musical training. When he was 12, he was hired as an assistant conductor with the Amadeus Chamber Orchestra in Barquisimeto.

Dudamel won a Grammy in 2012 for best orchestral performance for conducting "Brahms: Symphony No. 4." In 2016, Dudamel became the first classical musician to participate in the Super Bowl halftime show, conducting members of Youth Orchestra Los Angeles.

He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2019.

James has won four NBA championships, including one with the Lakers in 2020 during the pandemic. He was asked after the game how his record- breaking game ranks against other games in his career.

"Championships will always sit at the top for me because that's just where I come from," James said. "I don't know where it sits. I've done some incredible things in this league and I hope I can do some more incredible things before I'm done."

James, a four-time NBA MVP, is fourth in career assists, ninth in career steals, 32nd in

"What you've done -- the breaking of one of the most monumental records in sports -- will be heard throughout our city and around the world," Bass said in a video. "I'd be remiss if I didn't also acknowledge an LA Legend — Kareem Abdul-Jabbar — who held this record for decades. I am so glad to see that though the record holder is changing hands, it remains in our city of champions.

"So LeBron, on behalf of the people of Los Angeles, I want to congratulate you. We are so proud of your journey thus far, and all that you will continue to do in pursuit of greatness — both on and off the court."

According to the county, there are roughly 38,000 IHSS workers countywide as of the current fiscal year.

Caregivers provide direct assistance to low-income seniors and the disabled who are living independently, including meal preparation, bathing, medication dispensation and other on-site care.

Some caregivers are related to the residents who receive services under the system, which is state-mandated.

The Department of Public Social Services has been running an ongoing recruitment campaign to swell the IHSS workforce due to rapidly increasing demand.

Officials have said that the greatest need is in the Coachella Valley, as well as in the communities of Anza, Blythe, Hemet and Idyllwild.

City officials last week began a series of events to mark Black History Month.

Palm Springs will host 11 events in total this month, beginning with a reception at the Palm Springs Art Museum that was held on Feb. 2, according to Palm Springs communications director Amy Blaisdell.

The free event featured the James O. Jessie Desert Highland Unity Drill team and Drum Squad.

Saturday evening at the Hilton, 400 E. Tahquitz Canyon Way.

Individuals and organizations who have contributed to the success of African-American achievements were recognized through the night, organizers said.

At 6:30 p.m. Thursday, a performance of "The Other Side" will be held at the art museum's Annenberg Theatre, presented by Empower You Entertainment and the county's National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Youth Council.

Deputies from the Morongo Basin sheriff's station responded to Indio Avenue and Canterbury Street in Yucca Valley at 10:12 a.m. Sunday to a report of a box trailer fire, according to the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department.

Authorities said that when deputies arrived to the scene they attempted to contact a man they believed started the fire, but he fled and led deputies on a lengthy pursuit.

"The pursuit lasted approximately 35 minutes and came to an end at the Whitewater Cutoff, north of the 10 Freeway in Palm Springs, when the suspect attempted to drive off the freeway and the vehicle became disabled," the San Bernardino sheriff's department said in a statement. "A lethal force encounter occurred, and the suspect was hit by gunfire."

The Riverside County Sheriff's Department will investigate the lethal force encounter further, authorities said.

Famed Dickens Fest returns to Riverside later this month

By City News Service

The celebrated Riverside Dickens Festival will be held during the last weekend of this month, transforming the downtown space into Victorian-era London, with an assortment of characters and shows reflective of author Charles Dickens' life and times.

The 30th annual fest will be centered along the

Main Street pedestrian mall, between Mission Inn Avenue and 11th Street, on Feb. 25 and 26.

"We have spent 30 years educating the public about this intricate point in history, each year striving to bring more," according to the festival's website. "This will be our biggest year yet. There is something for everyone ... all

weekend, and you won't see the same thing twice!"

The entire event was nearly nixed in February 2021 amid the coronavirus public health lockdowns, but organizers managed to throw together a virtual presentation featuring profiles of Dickens' stories and other entertainment online. In-person activities returned last February.

The 2023 fest schedule is still being ironed out, but past celebrations have featured theatrical performances, pageants, music, speeches, historical recreations and children's activities. Visitors often encounter actors representing Dickens, Queen Victoria, Bram Stoker, Mark Twain, H.G. Wells, Oscar Wilde, Edgar Allen Poe, Louisa May Alcott,

Jules Verne, Emily Bronte, Mary Shelley and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle -- to name a few. The formal opening is slated for 10 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 26, during which a "grand parade," populated by Dickens' characters and other Victorians, will be staged along Main Street near the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa.

Merchants will sell food

and wares reminiscent of a 19th century London bazaar during the fest, interspersed with caroling and dancing, around the pedestrian mall.

A number of events will be centered outside the Riverside Historic Courthouse, 4050 Main St.
