San Bernardino County homeless census shows flattening numbers, but unsheltered homelessness increases

By Staff

The homeless population in San Bernardino County increased 1% during the past year, compared with a 26% last year and 6.6% the year before, officials announced Wednesday.

Data from the county’s Jan. 25 Point-in-Time Count showed the homeless population added 42 people, totaling 4,237 from 4,195 last year. The count also showed a 3.1% decrease in the number of individuals that had temporary living arrangements in a public or private shelter at the time of the count.

However, the number of unsheltered homeless individuals increased by 79 individuals, or 2.6%, compared

with 2023 data.

“This data shows a flattening of our homeless numbers, which is a promising sign that we are heading in the right direction,” 4th District Supervisor Curt Hagman said in a statement. Hagman and 5th District

Supervisor Joe Baca Jr. serve on the County Homelessness Ad Hoc Committee.

“The County of San Bernardino is taking significant strides to address this issue head-on,” Baca said in a statement. “We are investing in projects

like Kern Street and Pacific Village to provide essential services like substance use treatment and recuperative care beds. These efforts are crucial for improving the health and well-being of our community.”

In September, Board of Supervisors Chair Dawn Rowe started the formation of the ad hoc committee under the direction of the county’s Chief Executive Officer Luther Snoke. The committee’s purpose was to explore the root causes of homelessness and provide recommendations to the board on policies, strategies and partnership options to address the issue, officials said.

Earlier in 2023, supervisors approved a $72.7 million Homelessness Spending Plan, with an additional $20 million “reserved for bridging the gaps in current

projects,” according to the county. This augmented the San Bernardino County Behavioral Health Department’s efforts to get nearly $89 million in grant funding to establish or expand facilities and the number of shelter beds.

Over 500 volunteers including county supervisors went throughout the county on Jan. 25 for the annual homeless census.

The count and a “subpopulation survey” was a collaborative exercise involving the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership, the County Office of Homeless Services and the Institute for Urban Initiatives.

A total of 24 cities and towns contributed staff time and office space for volunteer training and deployment.

Corona eighth grader ties for ninth in National Spelling Bee

By City News Service

An eighth grader from Corona was eliminated in the eighth round of the Scripps National Spelling Bee Wednesday, finishing in an eight-way tie for ninth, three places higher than last year.

Avijeet Randhawa misspelled Abitibi, the name of a lake in Canada on the Ontario-Quebec border and a river in eastern Ontario. He spelled it “Abatibby.”

With the bee limited to students in eighth grade or below, this was Avijeet’s final bee.

The eight spellers who spelled their eighth-round words correctly advanced to Thursday’s finals. There are two Californians in the finals — Shrey Parikh, who completed sixth grade at Day Creek Intermediate School in Rancho Cucamonga last week, and Rishabh Saha, an eighth grader at Herbert H. Cruickshank Middle School in Merced.

Avijeet reached the semifinals for the second consecutive year on Wednesday when he correctly answered his fifthround multiple-choice word meaning question, “A person described as woozy is:” by selecting “experiencing dizziness, mild nausea, or weakness.”

In the sixth round, he correctly spelling larid, a bird of the family Laridae. He correctly answered his seventh-round word meaning question, “What does it mean to be mercu-

IE reaction swift to verdicts against former President Trump

By City News Service

One of former President Donald Trump’s biggest boosters in the Inland Empire Thursday dismissed the notion that the guilty verdicts in the ex-commanderin-chief’s felony trial will keep him from winning the November election, while a congressman said the jury’s findings proved he wasn’t “above the law.”

“I’ve got news for you, a guilty verdict isn’t going to keep Donald Trump from being the 47th president,” former state Sen. Melissa Melendez of Lake Elsinore said via Twitter. “You may want to get used to that idea now. MAGA.” Melendez, who was termed out of office in 2022 and a vocal backer of Trump throughout his presidency, reacted within minutes of Thursday’s verdicts coming out of New York City in the so-called “hush money case” related to exporn star Stormy Daniels.

The Manhattan jury of five women and seven men found the former president guilty of all 34 charges tied to falsification of business records. Prosecutors alleged Trump provided $130,000 to attorney Michael Cohen for his payments to Daniels to keep her quiet about relations with the defendant prior to the 2016 election.

Cities with the fastest-growing home prices in the Riverside metro area

By Stacker

The real estate frenzy spurred by the coronavirus pandemic continues, though at a slower pace. Buyers are still competing for a limited supply of housing, driving up prices for affordable properties.

In April, the typical home value in the United States was $359,402 — 4.4% higher than the year before.

Increasing mortgage rates have slowed growth, with prices even declining in some places. But some areas are still seeing price jumps compared to the year before.

Using Zillow data, Stacker compiled a list of cities with the fastest-growing home prices in the Riverside metro area, which consists of cities in Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Cities are ranked by their one-year price change as of April 2024.

Is AI as capable as humans? Here's how far artificial intelligence has come

By Wade Zhou, Verbit via Stacker

n early 2021, the internet becametransfixedby picturesof"avocado armchairs."

Generated by OpenAI's DALL-E artificial intelligence system, the images appeared on the screen after the simplest of prompts: a human user typing "avocado armchair." The results were surreal, shockingly realistic and marked a turning point for AI. Despite the unusual request, DALL-E had no problem conjuring up images that fit the bill.

Three years later, artificial intelligence continues to improve. Verbit used data from academic research to see just how far AI is progressing.

Today's AI can produce images that are virtually impossible to distinguish from photographs or human-created drawings, raising reasonable concerns. Artists worry about their economic futures, for one, while the proliferation of artificially generated images and videos of real people has caused lawmakers to start drafting bills to combat nonconsensual "deepfakes."

penning an email, humans simply can't compete with the processing speed of AI.

In other areas, AI still falls short. Empathy, the depth of human emotion, self-awareness and creativity are all areas where many might hope AI never catches up.

of tasks. The data shows remarkable improvements in abilities in recent years.

Image generation is just one area in which AI use is exploding. Computers have made huge strides in other domains, from text generation and coding to creating music. Nowhere is AI more impressive than with its speed: Whether writing a song, producing artwork or

AI is improving rapidly

One way to track the development of artificial intelligence systems is to see how well the tech has performed on benchmark tests over time. Researchers at Contextual AI tracked the performance of several AI systems on a diverse group

AI systems have come to surpass humans on tasks such as image and speech recognition and even reading comprehension. The numbers also highlight where machines still lag behind people when it comes to areas such as reasoning and computer programming.

Another way to measure AI performance is to see how well it does on academic exams. One experiment, conducted by researchers at the University of Minnesota Law School, saw researchers give ChatGPT — which was using its GPT-3.5 system — multiple choice and essay questions, then blindly grade the responses along with exams from real students. Researchers found that the AI scored a C+, enough to pass the class.

A different group of researchers examined how ChatGPT performs on the bar exam. GPT-3.5 failed, scoring only at the 10th percentile. Meanwhile, GPT-4, a newer and more powerful AI model, fared much better on the exam, scoring in the 90th percentile.

But AI is still not quite human

Any person who could perform as well as AI on these benchmarks would look like a genius. Yet despite strong performance across all of these metrics, modern AI systems are still lacking in a number of key ways compared to humans.

One obvious shortcoming of current AI systems is the so-called "hallucination

problem," where the system confidently fabricates false facts backed by imaginary sources. Humans are also prone to making up facts, but are generally aware if that's the case.

Another serious shortcoming of currently existing AI systems is limited memories. They can have a hard time processing a large text source, such as a long book, and can become seemingly less intelligent in extended conversations. They also cannot generally remember things said in other discussions, which hampers their learning ability.

Perhaps the biggest weakness current artificial intelligence systems have is their inability to reason. "Large language models" such as ChatGPT are built to predict the next word in a sequence. They do not understand complex reasoning nearly as well as humans do. This limits their ability to work on complicated problems requiring multiple steps.

Science fiction often portrays robots as exceptionally skilled at logic, but poor at anything that involves the subjective, such as creating art. Yet, as of 2024, at least, the very opposite seems true of AI in the real world.

Gov. Newsom hosts AI summit in San Francisco

By Staff

Gov. Gavin Newsom and representatives from a wide range of professions and industries met Wednesday in San Francisco and online at the Joint California Summit on Generative AI.

Technologists, government officials, academics and leaders from organized labor and civic organizations were among the panelists and speakers at the symposium on the emerging technology known as artificial intelligence, or generative AI.

“California is the globe’s artificial intelligence leader, and today’s summit continues to showcase the state’s commitment to innovation,” the governor said in a statement Wednesday. “GenAI is here and developing quickly — our innovation hubs and state leaders are quickly evolving to use it equitably and responsibly so it benefits all Californians.”

California officials along with Stanford University and UC Berkeley organized the summit, which was live-streamed online and mandated in Newsom’s September 2023 GenAI Executive Order that included direction to pursue a partnership with universities. Specifically, the summit was developed and organized by the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development; the California Government Operations Agency; the UC Berkeley College of Computing, Data Science, and Society; and the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, or Stanford HAI.

Summit panelists

discussed how AI currently is and will in the future affect how work gets done in California’s future. They also highlighted the technology’s potential to help deal with problems such as the climate crisis and discussed possible solutions to infrastructure barriers that could impede such AI-fueled attempts at problem-solving.

Officials said California will play a key role in the future of artificial intelligence, which “will have enormous implications across society.” The state has 35 of the world’s 50 leading AI companies, “high-impact research and education institutions,” and 25% of AI patents and conference reports.

“We want to ensure the future we are building with generative AI puts humanity at the forefront,”

Jennifer Chayes, dean of the UC Berkeley College of Computing, Data Science, and Society, said in a statement. “California provides a vibrant environment for AI development. We have a window of opportunity to collectively pursue a measured approach that incentivizes innovation while ensuring safety.”

Attendees, who included people affiliated with the federal and state governments, Fortune 500 companies and universities in the U.S. and abroad, discussed how to “responsibly implement and incorporate shared benefits of AI into the next wave of investments, discoveries, and partnerships,” according to the governor’s office, which highlighted these featured

panel speakers: NVIDIA Head of Strategic Initiatives Louis Stewart, Databricks Chief Technology Officer Matei Zaharia, U.S. General Services Administration Administrator Robin Carnahan, California Government Operations Agency Secretary Amy Tong, California Labor and Workforce Development Agency Secretary Stewart Knox and the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development Director Dee Dee Myers. Incoming university leaders at Stanford and UC Berkeley, respectively President Rich Lyons and Chancellor Jonathan Levin, also took part in the event.

“With AI’s potential to radically transform every industry and every society, it’s critical that we design machine intelligence to be human-centered and benevolent,” Stanford HAI Co-Director Fei-Fei Li said in a statement. “For this to happen, we must invest more in the public sector, to help shape the development and path of this technology to serve humanity. With Stanford HAI’s multidisciplinary approach that balances diverse expertise across disciplines, we are delighted to play a role in this timely summit of government, industry, academia and civic organizations working in concert for not just the betterment of California, but the greater good of humanity.”

Panels took place and were filmed for video streaming at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, according to UC Berkeley. The event had more than 100 attendees.

Ocean expedition seeks to map California biodiversity

By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service

Marineresearchers just wrapped up the first of three ocean expeditions off the coast of Southern California to map the biodiversity and support efforts to safeguard ocean animals from harmful fishing practices.

The nonprofit Oceana recently teamed up with a company called Blancpain to map and photograph undersea life around the Channel Islands.

Geoff Shester, California campaign director and senior scientist for Oceana, said the area is threatened by fishing gear from huge set gillnets.

"This type of fishing is a series of nets that can be over 20 football fields long," Shester pointed out. "It catches everything from gray whales and humpback

whales to sea lions, and a whole variety of sensitive fish and shark species."

The California Fish and Game Commission is considering rules which would reduce bycatch in the set gillnet fishery. Set gillnets are banned in state waters off the mainland but still allowed around the Channel Islands and in federal waters starting three miles offshore.

On May 22 conservation groups celebrated the International Day for Biological Diversity. Shester asserted the Channel Islands' biodiversity makes the area the Galapagos of North America.

"We've got these amazing kelp forests teeming with life; deep-sea coral and sponge gardens that are just as colorful as anything you

might see in a tropical coral reef," Shester pointed out. "Once people realize what's at stake here, I hope that results in more of a drive to conserve these special areas."

He added the mission also collected water samples for DNA analysis, did scuba diving surveys of habitat and fish diversity, piloted a new underwater vehicle and collected samples to detect potential microplastics in the water column.

Dollar Tree announces acquisition of 170 former 99 Cents Only locations

By City News Service

Fans of the recently shuttered 99 Cents Only stores across the Southland received a glimmer of retail hope Wednesday when the owners of competitor Dollar Tree announced that the company has acquired leasing rights for 170 of the closed locations.

“As we continue to execute on our accelerated growth strategy for the Dollar Tree brand, this was an attractive opportunity to secure leases in priority markets where we see strong profitable growth potential,” Michael Creedon Jr., Dollar Tree’s chief operating officer, said in a statement. “The portfolio complements our existing footprint and will

provide us access to high quality real estate assets in premium retail centers, enabling us to rapidly grow the Dollar Tree brand across the western United States, reaching even more customers and communities.”

According to the Virginiabased Dollar Tree, the leases it acquired were for former 99 Cents Only locations in California, Nevada, Arizona and Texas. The company did not provide a specific list of locations, however, Bill Read of the real estate firm Retail Specialists published a list online that includes dozens of locations across Southern California.

The Commerce-based operators of 99 Cents Only

stores announced in April that the company was closing all 371 of its locations, and it immediately began holding liquidation sales that led to rapid clearing of store shelves.

CEO Mike Simoncic said in a statement at the time that “the last several years have presented significant and lasting challenges in the retail environment, including the unprecedented impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, shifting consumer demand, rising levels of shrink, persistent inflationary pressures and other macroeconomic headwinds, all of which have greatly hindered the company’s ability to operate.”

The 99 Cents Only stores were founded in 1982.

Dollar Tree officials said the company could reopen some of the locations as early as this fall.

UCLA basketball legend Bill Walton dies

HallofFamerBill Walton, college basketball’s Player of the Year in all three of his varsity seasons at UCLA when he led the Bruins to two NCAA championships, died May 27 at his home in San Diego after a prolonged battle with cancer, the NBA announced. He was 71.

During an injuryplagued NBA career, Walton also was a member of two championship teams, the MVP of the 1977 finals and 1977-78 season.

Walton’s Bruin teams won their first 73 games, as UCLA extended its winning streak to 88 games, the NCAA men’s basketball record. During his three varsity seasons — freshman were ineligible to play on the varsity level when Walton entered UCLA in 1970 — the Bruins went 49-0 in Pauley Pavilion, as part of a 98-game home winning streak that spanned the 1970-71 through 1975-76 seasons.

In the 1973 championship game against Memphis State, Walton made 21 of 22 shots for 44 points, a championship game record, as UCLA won its seventh consecutive championship and ninth in 10 seasons.

“It’s very hard to put into words what he has meant to UCLA’s program, as well as his tremendous impact on college basketball,” UCLA coach Mick Cronin said. “Beyond his remarkable accomplishments as a player, it’s his relentless energy, enthusiasm for the game and unwavering candor that have been the hallmarks of his larger than life personality.

“As a passionate UCLA alumnus and broadcaster, he loved being around our players, hearing their stories and sharing his wisdom and advice. For me as a coach, he was honest, kind, and always had his heart in the right place.”

Walton was the first player selected in the 1974 NBA draft by the Portland Trail Blazers, but had an injury-plagued professional career, playing at least 60 games in only three seasons, but did lead Portland to the championship in 1977.

Walton signed a sevenyear, $7 million contract with the then-San Diego Clippers in 1979 after missing the previous season because of a foot injury. He played only 14 games for the Clippers in his first season with the team after refracturing the navicular bone in the fourth 1979 exhibition game. He missed all of the 1980-81 and 1981-82 seasons, after undergoing several surgeries on his injured foot.

helping Boston to the NBA title. His another injury limited him to 10 games the following season.

Walton spent the 1987-88 season on the injured list. He attempted a comeback in February 1990, but injuries intervened and he retired as a player.

Walton overcame a stutter to become an Emmywinning broadcaster. He began his broadcasting career in 1990 as an analyst on Clippers’ telecasts on the Prime Ticket regional sports network, working alongside longtime playby-play broadcaster Ralph Lawler.

“I never had a better friend and there are hundreds of others who feel the same way,” Lawler wrote on Facebook. “He

in the 1982-83 season, playing in 33 games. He remained with the Clippers through the 1984-85 season, their first in Los Angeles, then was traded to the Boston Celtics.

Walton played a careerhigh 80 games for the Celtics in the 1986-87 season, received the Sixth Man of the Year Award,

Fast food inflation: Which chains are hiking their prices the most?

By Chris Lewis, Stacker

It's no secret that things just keep getting more expensive. From home prices to personal goods, the cost of living in the U.S. has increased 22% since 2019, leaving consumers searching for ways to combat rising costs.

As Americans scramble to find better ways to budget, one historically walletfriendly option, fast food, is becoming less and less of a cost-saver. In fact, fast food price hikes have outpaced the national inflation rate in some instances, prompting backlash online and on social media.

Have fast food prices really changed so dramatically? And if so, by how much? FinanceBuzz, is always looking for ways to save money and wanted to better understand how much a trip to the drive thru was really costing consumers. To find out, FinanceBuzz collected pricing data from a dozen popular fast food restaurants over the past decade and calculated how much prices have risen compared to the national inflation rate.

How does fast food inflation compare to actual inflation?

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the cost of goods in the U.S. has risen 31% since 2014, meaning $100 in 2014 dollars is worth $131 in 2024 dollars. Much of this change has happened in the past 5 years — inflation is up 22% since 2019.

So how do the average menu price increases at popular fast food chains compare to those rates?

The restaurants FinanceBuzz evaluated raised prices by 60% on average between 2014 and 2024. That means they've raised prices at a rate nearly double the national rate of inflation.

Five different restaurants — McDonald's, Popeyes, Taco Bell, Chipotle, and Jimmy John's — raised their prices at more than double the national inflation rate. McDonald's raised prices so much that their average menu prices increased more than three times the national rate of inflation.

Beyond the golden arches, the data reveals more than a 75% price increase at Popeyes, Taco Bell, and Chipotle over the past 10 years. Subway and Starbucks, on the other hand, kept prices the most stable of any major chain, but still outpaced national inflation. Here are some notable examples.

Gold-tier prices at the Golden Arches: McDonald's prices have risen the most

The worst offender for dramatic price increases is McDonald's — a chain that recently went viral for all the wrong reasons. An $18 Big Mac combo garnered so much attention online that the McDonald's CEO promised affordability on a recent earnings call. According to our data, prices at McDonald's have doubled since 2014, with an average price increase of 100%.

Overall, this rate is more than triple the national inflation rate during the same time. One illustrative example is the McChicken sandwich: once a staple of the chain's $1 menu in 2014, the sandwich now costs $3

across the McD's menu. What Rising Fast Food Prices Mean for Consumers

Though incremental changes in fast food prices may not seem like the highest dollar-value changes to consumers' wallets, they are an illustrative example of a new financial reality in the U.S. — your dollar doesn't go as far as it used to and American families need to figure out how to make it work.

Another place many Americans have been feeling the squeeze is with auto insurance. As premiums have risen more than 20% in the past year, many are scrambling to find cheaper car insurance options. And like with fast food, the premium hikes tend to hurt lower income earners the most.

Some are turning to credit cards to make up the gap. After a few years of declining balances, credit card debt has climbed back to an all-time high. Cards that have balance transfer incentives and 0% intro APR offers look especially enticing to anyone who is trying to close a gap on their

Other former value menu items, like the McDouble and a simple order of medium fries were among the most egregious price increases

weekends or find higherpaying jobs. With no easy solution and no relief in sight, inflation is likely to remain a top concern for Americans heading into this year's presidential election. In fact,a recent FinanceBuzz survey found that inflation is the top financial issue among American voters right now.

Other notable fastflation examples

Taco Bell

Average price increase: 81%

Notable price hikes:

In 2014, hungry customers could get an entree, such as a burrito, bowl, or tacos, for less than $6.75 on average. Those same meals all cost $10.50 or more today. And while guac has always cost extra, it costs 64% more now than it did 10 years ago ($1.80 to $2.95 on average).

Starbucks

A Doritos Locos Taco went from an average price of $1.39 in 2014 to $2.59 in 2024 (+86%), while a Cheesy Gordita Crunch has doubled in price from $2.49 in 2014 to $4.99 today. The Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, which went from an average cost of $1.59 in 2014 to a presentday price of $3.69. That's a 132% increase.

Chipotle

Average price increase: 75%

Notable price hikes:

Interesting, some beloved Starbucks menu items have kept pace with inflation, such as their Chai Tea Latte (+30%) and their Mocha Frappuccino (+32%). Even better for Starbucks fans and their wallets, costs for certain items such as a Caffè Latte (+22%) and Caramel Macchiato (+17%) have actually risen slower than inflation, which makes them a better deal now than they were a decade ago.

Trump conviction predictably splits Southland reactions on party lines

By City News Service

Southland reaction was swift Thursday to the conviction of former President Donald Trump, and predictably on party lines, as Democrats hailed the decision as a case of nobody being above the law, while Republicans blasted the entire trial as politically motivated.

“This is a reminder that no one is above the law, not even a former president,” Rep. Jimmy Gomez, D-Los Angeles, wrote on social media immediately following the verdict. “A jury of his peers — not his political opponents — weighed the evidence and believed there was enough to convict him. No grand conspiracy, only the truth: Trump is a criminal.”

Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, added, “In America, no one is above the law: not the rich, not the powerful, and certainly not any former President of the United States.”

Larry Elder, a longtime Los Angeles radio talk show host who ran a short-lived campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, blasted the jury’s decision.

“The verdict is an outrage,” Elder said. “A monster has been unleashed. And if Democrats don’t think Republican AGs and DAs can’t unleash law fare on Democrat politicians, think again.”

Elder’s comments echoed those of Trump himself, who emerged from the New York courtroom Thursday and blasted the entire criminal trial as a “disgrace”

and a “rigged trial” led by a “corrupt” judge.

“I’m a very innocent man,” Trump said, decrying the case as a political maneuver to derail his presidential campaign.

“Our whole country is being rigged right now,” Trump said, later adding, “We’ll keep fighting the fight til the end, and we’ll win.”

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson called it “a shameful day in American history.”

“This was a purely political exercise, not a legal one,” Johnson said. “The weaponization of our justice system has been a hallmark of the Biden administration, and the decision today is further evidence that Democrats will stop at nothing to silence dissent and crush their political opponents.”

The Orange County Republican Party issued a statement saying the trial “has been marred by political bias” from the start — “from cherry picking a Biden donor to serve as judge in one of the most liberal districts in the country to jury instructions that baffle any attorney in America.”

“The icing on the cake is the judge has chosen to wait for sentencing until four days before the Republican National Convention where we will nominate Donald Trump. This is election interference plain and simple,” according to the OC GOP. “This verdict will rightfully go to appeal

where normal order should be restored to restore not only justice but the broken confidence in our legal system. The ultimate jury will be the American people on November 5th when voters will judge the failed Biden administration.”

Jessica Millan Patterson, chair of the California Republican Party, called it

a “dark day for our justice system and our nation.”

“From the very beginning, this was a politically motivated case brought by a far-left district attorney,” Patterson said. “Despite Democrat-led efforts to interfere with the presidential election, Americans will have the final say this November when they

re-elect President Trump and send him back to the White House to fix the many failures of the Biden administration and put our nation on a pathway to success.”

Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts, with jurors finding he falsified business records to cover up hush money paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to silence her contentions during the 2016 presidential campaign that she had a sexual encounter with Trump about 10 years earlier.

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Burbank, insisted the case was about criminal conduct, not politics.

“Today, 12 ordinary American citizens found a former president guilty of dozens of felonies,” Schiff wrote on X. “Despite his efforts to distract, delay and deny — justice arrived for Donald Trump all the same. And the rule of law prevailed.”

The Orange County Democratic Party warned, however, “This is no time to rejoice. This is a time to reflect on how we as a people have arrived at this point and — more importantly — how we move forward together.”

Democrat Tony Thurmond, the California superintendent of public instruction, echoed the theme of nobody being above the law.

“But while this is a tremendous step for demo-

cratic norms and the rule of law in this country, there is still much more work to do to ensure this dangerous criminal does not re-enter the White House next year,” Thurmond wrote.

Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Long Beach, said in a statement, “This guilty verdict confirms what we have long known — Donald Trump is a con man and a criminal who has consistently exploited our country for his own personal gain. No one, not even a former president, is above the law. Meanwhile, the MAGA Republican Majority will continue to support and uplift Trump as their leader instead of condemning this serious criminal behavior.”

Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Los Angeles, wrote on X, “My predictions came true! I predicted three years ago at a speech with the Human Rights Campaign that Stormy Daniels would be the one to get Trump, my faith in the criminal justice system has been strengthened.”

Rep. Gil Cisneros, D-Los Angeles, said in a statement, “The decision in this case reaffirms our nation’s commitment to accountability and integrity in public service. No one, regardless of their status of position, is above the law. As we reflect on this moment, let us recommit ourselves to the ideals that define our democracy: equality, justice and the pursuit of truth.”

ABC 7 reported Ontario Police Department officers responded to reports of a shooting in the area of Euclid Avenue and Sixth Street around 8:30 p.m. Thursday.

Ontario Police Cpl. Eliseo Guerrero told City News Service.

“Upon their arrival, the officers found one man with a gunshot wound,”

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. It was not immediately clear what prompted the shooting.

“The investigation is still in its preliminary stages. The {LAPD officer} is cooperating with the investigation,” Guerrero said.

The off-duty officer was taken to a hospital with unspecified injuries in stable condition. Guerrero told City News Service it was unclear how the officer sustained his injuries.

“The Los Angeles Police Department is aware of an officer involved shooting, involving a Los Angeles police officer in the city of Ontario earlier this evening. The Los Angeles Police Department is fully cooperating with the investigation,” the LAPD said in a statement.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD ON THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 2024

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Rosemead City Council will conduct a public hearing on Thursday, June 27, 2024, at 6:00 PM, at Rosemead City Hall, located at 8838 East Valley Boulevard, Rosemead, California 91770. Remote public comments will be received via email at publiccomment@cityofrosemead.org by 5:00 p.m. on June 27, 2024. Interpreters will be available to assist members of the public that speak Chinese (Cantonese & Mandarin), Spanish, and Vietnamese. All comments are public record and will be recorded in the official record of the City. If you have a request for accommodation under the ADA, please contact Ericka Hernandez, City Clerk, at (626) 569-2100.

The Rosemead City Council is evaluating the potential of transitioning from a general law city to a charter law city. A general law city is bound by the state’s general law, regardless of whether the subject concerns a municipal affair. A charter city has supreme authority over “municipal affairs” and thus can govern on matters of the City. Under the proposed charter, the City would retain its council-manager form of government. Matters of municipal affairs that would be modified under the proposed charter include term limits, prosecuting authority, economic development matters, purchasing and contracts authority, and preference for Veterans in awarding contracts permitted by law.

Before submitting the proposed charter to the voters, the City Council must hold at least two public hearings on the charter as required by Government Code Section 34458. The first public hearing was held on Tuesday, May 28 at 7:00 p.m. and the second required meeting is scheduled to take place in a special meeting on Thursday, June 27, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chamber.

For further details on this proposal, please contact Ericka Hernandez, City Clerk, at (626) 569-2100 or ehernandez@cityofrosemead. org. In addition, the City Council Agenda and Staff Report will be available on the City’s website under Agendas and Meetings and under the “City Calendar” (www.cityofrosemead.org) at least 72 hours in advance of the public hearing. Any person interested in the above proceedings may appear at the time and place indicated above to testify in support of, or in opposition to, the item(s) indicated in this notice.

DERS: 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. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWN-

Compliance checks targeting sex offenders net 3 arrests

By City News Service

ARiverside County Sheriff’s Department sweep targetingregistered sex offenders in the southwest county region to confirm their compliance with parole and probation requirements netted three arrests, authorities said Thursday.

Deputies supported by District Attorney’s Office personnel conducted the operation at “numerous residences” Tuesday in French Valley, other unincorporated communities surrounding Murrieta and in Temecula, according to sheriff’s Sgt. Joe Narciso.

Sex registrants are required under California Penal Code section 290 to notify authorities in local jurisdictions when and exactly where they have established

residency. The law also prohibits an offender from having contact with minors, other than relatives, as well as imposing other restrictions.

“Three sex offenders were found in violation of their court-ordered probation terms and were arrested for the violations,” Narciso said.

Joseph Edward Hernandez, 20, and Matthew Charles Lopez, 41, both of French Valley, along with Scott Allen Miller, 42, of Temecula, were all booked into the Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta on suspicion of probation violations.

Lopez is being held without bail, while Hernandez is being held on $50,000 bail. Miller posted a $50,000 bond and was released from custody Wednesday.

“The (sheriff) aggressively pursues prosecution of those sex registrants who fail to comply with their registration requirements and probation or parole terms,” Narciso said.

Additional sweeps are planned on undisclosed dates.

Anyone with concerns that a registrant may be in their neighborhood and out of compliance with state law may contact the Riverside County District Attorney’s Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement — SAFE — Team at 951-723-3595, or send an email message with details to reportanoffender@rivcosafe. org.

Further information on offenders is available via the state’s Megan’s Law web portal: www.meganslaw. ca.gov.

Cathedral City High School lockdown lifted after prank call

By City News Service

Cathedral City High School was temporarily placed on lockdown Tuesday after a prank call.

The Cathedral City Police Department received the call at around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to a department statement. The male caller claimed to be in the area and threatened to “shoot up the

school,” Sgt. Jeffrey Barnett said.

A group of officers then arrived at the school and placed the campus on lockdown, while others searched the perimeter of nearby Nellie Coffman Middle School. After “clearing the school of any threats and further investigation,” officers concluded

Oscar-nominated screenwriter honored on Palm Springs Walk of the Stars

By City News Service

The Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce commemorated Academy Award-nominated screenwriter, producer and LGBTQ+ community advocate Ron Nyswaner on Thursday with the 470th star on the Palm Springs Walk of the Stars.

Nyswaner is likely best known for his work on “Philadelphia,” starring Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington, which celebrated its 30th anniversary of a wide release this year. The legal drama was nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the 66th Academy Awards.

He is also the recipient of GLAAD, National Board of Review, and Writers Guild of America awards, in addition to BAFTA, Emmy, and Golden Globe nominations.

He has also received accolades for his activism, including a Steve Chase Humanitarian Award, the Los Angeles LGBT Center’s Vanguard Award, and the Ryan White Youth Service Award.

Other works from Nyswaner across genres and mediums include “’My Policeman,” “Murder on Middle Beach,” “Smithereens,” “Mrs. Soffel,” “Soldier’s Girl,” “The Painted Veil,” and contributions to acclaimed series such as “Ray Donovan” and

“Homeland.” Many of these projects address contemporary sociopolitical issues, especially those related to the LGBTQ+ community, and Nyswaner has been praised for “bringing the challenging conversation surrounding HIV/AIDS to mainstream media,” according to a Chamber statement.

that the threat resulted from a prank call, according to the CCPD.

The lockdown ended approximately 30 minutes later, according to Barnett.

Anyone with information regarding the incident was encouraged to call the Cathedral City Police Department at 760-770-0300.

“Guilty on all 34 counts,” Rep. Mark Takano, D-Riverside, a steadfast opponent of the former president, said via Facebook. “Today’s decision shows that no one, even a former president, is above the rule of law.”

Trump’s supporters have argued the allegations and trial were politically motivated and undertaken for the sole purpose of derailing his chances of having another shot at the White House. His critics have pointed to the trial’s revelations as further proof of his shady dealings and misconduct.

“Americans who believe that justice should be blind to politics and administered equally should be concerned with today’s outcome,” Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Corona, said. “It’s alarming that our criminal justice system continues to be taken advantage of by partisan prosecutors, who want to use the power of their office to influence our democratic elections.”

Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Temecula, said the charges against

“Fellow Travelers” actor Jelani Alladin and executive producer Robbie Rogers, former soccer player and the first openly gay male athlete in any major North American sports league, were invited to speak at the ceremony.

“We are immensely excited to be a part of honoring Ron Nyswaner for his work in not only entertainment, but for his longtime activism for the LGBTQ+ community,” Palm Springs Chamber CEO Nona Watson said in a statement.

In 2023 he created and produced his most recent work, the Peabody Awardwinning limited series “Fellow Travelers.” Based on a Thomas Mallon novel, the miniseries explores “the volatile romance of two men who meet in 1950s Washington D.C., just as Joseph McCarthy and Roy Cohn initiate the Lavender Scare,” as well as broader queer American history.

Trump “should never have been brought.”

“A trial never should have happened,” he said. “(There was) a judge that can’t be trusted. And now (there’s) a tear in the fabric of our justice system that won’t soon be repaired.”

Sentencing is set for July

11. The Republican National

Convention is scheduled mid-July in Milwaukee.

“This was a rigged, disgraceful trial, and the real verdict is going to be Nov. 5 by the people,” Trump said in a statement. “They know what happened here, and everybody knows what happened here. I’m a very innocent man.”

Ontario Museum, Chaffey Community Museum present ‘The Art of Healing’ exhibit

By Staff

The Ontario Museum of History & Art and the Chaffey Community Museum of Art biennial joint exhibition this year explores the intersection of art and healing. Through commissions from contemporary artists and select artworks from the San Antonio Hospital Collection, “The Art of Healing” exhibition pays homage to local community institutions as well as influential medical figures, including the first Ontario woman doctor, Dr. Idris H.B. Gregory. The Ontario Museum will showcase “The Art of Healing: Holistic Expressions,” and Chaffey will present “The Art of Healing: Highlights from

the San Antonio Hospital Collection.” The exhibition opens on Thursday, June 27, and closes on Oct. 20. The museums will hold a community reception on Sunday, June 30, from 2 to 4 p.m.

Inspired by San Antonio Community Hospital’s architectural transformation during the 1950s-70s to improve its patients’ recovery process, Ontario Museum will transform its North Wing galleries, formally offices for the City of Ontario’s Public Health department, into communal healing spaces through a series of immersive installations, large-scale artworks, and participatory art commissions from contemporary

artists including: Amabelle Aguiluz, Flora Kao, Caylin Yorba-Ruiz, Denise Silva, Melissa Ellyn Watkins, and others.

“From Aguiluz’s unconventional fiber sculptures to Kao’s deeply personal, immersive installations and Silva’s dream-like murals, all these artists interpret the topic of healing through their artistic practice,” said Samantha Herrera, assistant curator of exhibits. “Their inventive designs and artmaking processes extricate the inherent potential of the human mind and body to heal itself. In so doing, they offer alternatives to aid and challenge conventional medical interventions.”

“The Art of Healing: Highlights from the San Antonio Hospital Collection,” will pay homage to the San Antonio Community Hospital located initially in North Ontario (now Upland). The exhibit includes works by Phil Dike and other significant artists living and working in the Pomona Valley.

The Ontario Museum of History & Art is located at 225 S. Euclid Avenue, Ontario, CA 91762. The hours are Thursday and Friday, noon to 4 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission to the museum and exhibit is free. To learn more about “The Art of Healing” visit, www.ontariomuseum.org.

Spelling Bee

rial?” by selecting, “characterized by unpredictable changeableness.”

Avijeet began Wednesday’s quarterfinals by correctly spelling procellous, an adjective meaning stormy. Of the 148 spellers who advanced to the quarterfinals from the original field of 245, the largest since 2019, 89 were eliminated in the fourth round.

The Auburndale Intermediate School student began the bee Tuesday by correctly spelling raclette, a Swiss dish of melted cheese, typically eaten with potatoes. He then chose the correct answer to the vocabulary question,

“What is a moratorium?” by selecting “a delay officially set by some authority.”

Avijeet advanced to the quarterfinals by correctly spelling palynological, an adjective related to a branch of science dealing with pollen and spores, in Tuesday’s third round at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland. There were 54 spellers eliminated in the first round, 15 in the second and 28 in the third.

Avijeet was eliminated in the eighth round of last year’s bee when he misspelled pridian, an adjective meaning of or relating to a previous day or to Tuesday, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. He spelled it

Homelessness

assisted the count by providing “time, knowledge and expertise regarding locations of homeless persons,” and several nonprofit organizations, faith-based groups, homeless-services providers and county departments also helped.

Point-in-Time Count volunteers used the Esri’s Survey 123-ArcGIS software platform to record data.

“A digital survey form was designed to simplify the surveyor’s experience as only relevant questions were displayed based on the answers input, eliminating the need for surveyors to devote time and effort to determining which questions to ask and resulting in a streamlined survey-

ing experience,” according to the county. “An added benefit of using digital surveys was the capture of location information. When a survey was conducted, the global positioning system (GPS) location of the surveyor’s mobile device was captured, providing the geographic location of where the survey took place, and opening opportunities for mapping and analyses.”

Three families sheltered via Operation Shelter Me

Three families with children living unsheltered in the city of Victorville and surrounding unincorporated areas of San Bernardino

County were located and immediately connected to housing on May 24 by the sheriff’s Homeless Outreach Proactive Enforcement Team, or HOPE, county officials announced.

The families were among 80 people, who included 10 military veterans, contacted during a daylong effort by the sheriff’s department known as Operation Shelter Me.

The HOPE Team referred 67 individuals to services, and 16 were connected to a service, officials said. More than 75% of the individuals contacted were open to receiving assistance.

“While service capacity is limited, the teams will continue to work with this

population to get them into services as they become available,” according to a county statement.

The purpose of Operation Shelter Me is to connect staff with the county’s unhoused residents and provide them housing, medical care and mental health treatment. During the May 24 operation, the HOPE Team focused on individuals with the most severe mental illness to get them connected with “restorative mental health pathways.”

In June 2023, San Bernardino County opted into Laura’s Law, which is also called Assisted Outpatient Treatment. The state law provides court-ordered treatment for people who

“predian.”

Avijeet was among nine spellers tying for 12th last year.

Avijeet qualified for the national bee by winning the Riverside County Spelling Bee in March, correctly spelling crescendo as the final word.

This was the eighth and final time a member of the Randhawa family competed in the national bee. A member of the Randhawa family won all eight county bees since 2016. The 2020 bee was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Avijeet’s sister Aisha competed in the national

bee from 2016-19, with her best finish coming in 2018 when she tied for seventh. His sister Lara was among 10 spellers tying for 13th in 2022 and reached the quarterfinals in 2021.

Avijeet enjoys playing the video game Minecraft, pickleball, drums and guitar and building large Lego structures. In his free time, he often plays basketball and goes on brief walks. He likes to watch animals as they explore and live their lives. The bee was scheduled to conclude Thursday. No speller from Riverside County has won the bee.

have been hospitalized or incarcerated and have histories of violence to themselves or others. Deputies identified two individuals as possible Laura’s Law referrals during the most recent outreach effort and referred them to the Department of Behavioral Health for evaluation and possible treat-

ment services. California Senate Bill 170 provides funding to the sheriff’s department for homeless outreach efforts. Officials advised residents who know of individuals experiencing homelessness to call the HOPE Team at 909-387-0623 or email hope@sbcsd.org.
