Riverside County officials respond to Biden ending reelection bid

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

RiversideCounty electedofficials issued statements on the announcement by President Joe Biden on Sunday that he was withdrawing from the 2024 presidential campaign.

Rep. Raul Ruiz, D-Indio, said Biden was "an extraordinary leader. For decades, he has put the needs of America over his own personal agenda, and today's decision is another demonstration of that. I have no doubt that history will treat him as one of America's greatest and most effective Presidents.

"We should all take a moment to reflect on his many accomplishments," Ruiz said.

"While we will need a few days to develop a process that ensures a fair outcome representing the will of the majority of Democratic voters, I intend to support Vice President Kamala Harris," Ruiz added. "As Attorney General, US Senator, and Vice President, she has shown her commitment to all of these principles. And, through her partnership with President Biden, she has developed experience and knowledge unmatched by any other potential candidate. I stand with Kamala Harris and will do everything I can to help her make history, put people over politics, and protect the American Dream."

Republicans were not so laudatory.

"Now that Biden has done the right thing for Democrats, will he do the right thing for the country?" Rep. Darrell Issa, D-Temecula, posted on

"Biden has dropped out. On full display is the complete unstable mess known as the democrat party that thinks it can govern the country," state Sen. Melissa Melendez, R-Murrieta, said on X. "Biden is going to be big mad when he awakens from his nap and finds out he dropped out of the race."

Rep. Mark Takano, D-Riverside, asked Biden to withdraw from the race earlier this month and repeated his call last week, saying the president should "pass the torch" to Vice President Kamala Harris.

On Monday, Takano said on X, "Mr. President, your leadership is inspiring and your vision for our country has made the lives of so many better. It is an honor to work with you to put people over politics."

Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement that Biden "has been an extraordinary, history-making president — a leader who has fought hard for working people and delivered astonishing results for all Americans. He will go

down in history as one of the most impactful and selfless presidents."

Alex Padilla, a Democrat and California's senior U.S. senator, posted, "Today, President Biden put our country first, as he has done throughout his public service career."

Democratic Sen. Laphonza Butler said in a statement, "Our nation owes President Biden a debt of gratitude for his service and patriotism, especially in making such a difficult decision. Thanks to his leadership, the American peoplehavewitnessed historic investments in education, infrastructure, and so much more. The threat to all that progress remains, and we must now do everything we can to ensure Vice President Harris succeeds. There's no one better prepared for this challenge."

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Burbank, who is running for U.S. Senate in the November election against former LA Dodgers player Steve Garvey, endorsed Harris on Sunday.

"It's time for all of us

to unite behind Vice President Harris," Garvey said. "I am excited to endorse her campaign for President — she has the judgment, experience, leadership, and tenacity to take on and defeat Donald Trump. I worked with her when she was our Attorney General, Senator, and Vice President, and I can't wait to work with her as President. There is no better matchup than this superb former prosecutor against this convicted criminal, and she'll prosecute the case against Trump every single day."

In an earlier statement Garvey said Schiff did not do enough when the congressman called on Biden to drop out of the race.

"Biden should resign immediately for the good of the nation," Garvey said. "Under his leadership, we are facing unprecedented international threats, including the ongoing war in Ukraine, the conflict in Israel, and increasing dangers from Iran. Our country deserves leadership that can effectively address these challenges and restore stability at home and abroad. Schiff not demanding his resignation imperils Americans at home and abroad every day."

The Democratic Party may experience a schism between Harris supporters and those who prefer an open competition to be the party's presidential nominee ahead of the Democratic National Convention, set for Aug. 19-22 in Chicago.

Abrush fire that tore through a south Riversideneighborhood, destroying homes and consuming more than 500 acres, was stationary Monday, as residents returned to their properties following the cancellation of evacuation orders.

The "Howarden Fire" broke out just after 1 p.m. Sunday in the area of Hawarden Drive and Mary Street, in a neighborhood known as Howarden Hills, according to the Riverside Fire Department. One firefighter and one civilian suffered minor injuries.

The blaze's forward rate of spread was halted by nightfall Sunday.

More than 80 firefighters from the city, Riverside and San Bernardino counties and surrounding agencies were firming up containment lines and tying off gaps Monday morning, officials said.

The cause of the brusher was still under investigation, but officials told reporters there was a possibility youths playing with fireworks might have inadvertently ignited the blaze, which had scorched 527 acres by the predawn hours Monday.

At least six homes were destroyed and seven were damaged, according to a city

of Riverside statement.

Some 1,500 properties were evacuated at the height of the brusher, McKinster said.

Theevacuatedarea included Eagle Crest Court and Chartwell Drive, Horace Street and Hawarden Drive, Golden Hills and in the area of Barry Road and Via Vista moving towards Trautwein Road and Alessandro Boulevard.

Evacuation orders were rescindedasofMonday morning.

At the height of the fire Sunday afternoon, four Cal Fire water-dropping helicopters and three air tankers were making runs on the brusher. The choppers, including two heavy-duty crane rotorcraft, raced back and forth to retrieve water from ponds at the nearby Canyon Crest Golf Club in the Canyon Crest area of Riverside.

The helicopters' activity spanned nearly five hours, starting just after 2 p.m. and continuing until almost 7 p.m.

No firefighting aircraft were overhead the burn zone Monday.

Officials were slated to provide another update on containment figures Monday afternoon.

In private speech, J.D. Vance said the 'devil is real' and praised Alex Jones as a truth-teller

Riverside County duck sanctuary struggles to save hundreds of hatched balut eggs

By City News Service

Volunteers at a local duck sanctuary are fighting to save as many hatchlings as they can after a "horrible situation" in which hundreds of fertilized eggs were abandoned due to a shipping delay.

The eggs were picked up by about 20 volunteers at a Walmart parking lot in Brea on Saturday, after The Duck Sanctuary was contacted by a woman in possession of about 300 so-called "balut eggs." Considered a delicacy in some cultures, balut eggs are duck eggs that are incubated almost to the point of hatching and then boiled and eaten.

"The story turned out that is was a company that sells balut eggs to clients and that the shipment to them was late and in turn her clients bought them from a different supplier," sanctuary founder Howard Berkowitz wrote in a social media post. "They were left with several hundred fertilized duck eggs and they were starting to hatch."

The odds were against the animals, since they were

not provided with the proper humidity for hatching.

"When you properly hatch eggs you are always controlling the humidity for them to be ready for life," he said, adding that "they were not given any food or water after they hatched. ... We lost quite a few after picking them up and we continued to lose them as the day went on."

Some of the eggs started hatching in the Walmart parking lot, prompting volunteers to run into the store to buy water and dishes in a frantic effort to get the newborns hydrated.

"We started giving them water and food and quickly most of them started perking up. Unfortunately at the same time we lost over 30 that just couldn't make it," Berkowitz said.

Berkowitz told City News Service on Tuesday that 120 babies were still alive, with 85 at the sanctuary and another 35 in the care of fosters.

The survivors were doing a lot better Tuesday, he said.

"They are doing really,

really well. They're all up and running around and cleaning themselves, which is not what they were doing on day one and day two," he told CNS.

"They look really good today. Getting them the electrolytes really helped."

The sanctuary is seeking donations to help fund the continuing effort to care for the hatchlings and find them homes.

Donations can be made at theducksanctuary.com.

Those interested in fostering a baby duck are advised to contact the rescue. Berkowitz said he provides the food, and the animals require minimal care. They need to be outdoors during the day and indoors at night, and of course they need access to water, which can be provided with a chicken waterer of the kind sold at farm supply stores.

Berkowitz, a biochemist, founded the sanctuary 10 years ago. He's had to move locations a few times due to complaints from neighbors.

The Winchester location

also is temporary; Berkowitz told CNS he's trying to raise the funds to buy a 20-acre property in Aguanga, where he wouldn't have restrictions on the number of animals he could keep.

The sanctuary, which rescues abandoned ducks and geese, has six regular volunteers and another three staff members.

The effort to save so many hatchlings is taking its toll on Berkowitz and the volunteers, who've had to watch so many of the young ducks perish.

"Tonight I laid all of those beautiful little souls to rest," Berkowitz wrote Monday in a post accompanied by video of a burial in his yard. "It took everything I had to say goodbye to these sweet innocents, they shall be free from all the evil that this world offered them. Some only lived 1 day, some 2, and some 3 ... no food, no water, no love ... only to wind up in the hands of the sanctuary and then food, water and most of all ... love was given ... if only for a brief time."

Sen. J.D. Vance, whom Donald Trump named as his vice presidential running mate July 15, told a group of influential young conservatives in a closeddoor speech in 2021 that they should stand up for “nonconventional people” who speak truth, such as Infowars founder Alex Jones.

“If you listen to Rachel Maddow every night, the basic worldview that you have is that MAGA grandmas who have family dinners on Sunday and bake apple pies for their family are about to start a violent insurrection against this country,” Vance said. “But if you listen to Alex Jones every day, you would believe that a transnational financial elite controls things in our country, that they hate our society, and oh, by the way, a lot of them are probably sex perverts too.”

Vance went on, “Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, that’s actually a hell of a lot more true than Rachel Maddow’s view of society.”

He said that every person in attendance for his speech believed “something that’s a little crazy.” In his case, he said, “I believe the devil is real and that he works terrible things in our society. That’s a crazy conspiracy theory to a lot of very well-educated people in this country right now.”

Vance made these remarks at a September 2021 gathering of the Teneo Network, an invitation-only group of young conservatives that counts elected officials, pro athletes, financial executives and media figures among its members. Vance joined Teneo six years ago. ProPublica and Documented obtained a video recording of his 30-minute speech and question-and-answer session, which has not been

previously reported.

Vance’s remarks at the conference — which you can read a transcript of or watch in full at https:// youtu.be/XU7n4id7uSM

— give a rare unvarnished look at his thinking and illustrate how aligned he is with various factions within the conservative and MAGA movements. “I’ll throw out the standard campaign speech,” he began his Teneo talk. “[I’ll] actually just try to level with you guys about what I do see is the big — a few big problems that are in our country right now.”

According to tax records, the Teneo Network’s chairman is Leonard Leo, the legal activist who built a pipeline of lawyers who interpret the Constitution based on the “original intent” of the framers or the meaning of the words in the text when they were written. One of the most influential conservatives of the past three decades, Leo helped confirm all six conservative justices currently serving on the U.S. Supreme Court. Leoaligned judges have pushed to restrict abortion rights and rein in the government’s power to regulate corporations.

Leo has said he views the Teneo Network as a way to extend his influence beyond the judiciary to industries including finance, media, government and Silicon Valley. The network identifies and cultivates conservative leaders in “other areas of American culture and American life where things are really messed up right now,” as Leo put it in a Teneo video.

According to internal Teneo documents, Vance joined Teneo in 2018, several years before he ran for Senate in his home state of Ohio. His book, “Hill-

billy Elegy,” had already become a bestseller, and Vance was a commentator for CNN while running his own nonprofit and investment fund backing startup companies outside of Silicon Valley.

“JD Vance has been part of the organization for at least five years and his appearance at the 2021 Teneo Retreat was well received by many young professional leaders in attendance,” Leo said. A spokesperson for the Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

By the time Vance spoke at Teneo’s 2021 conference, he had joined the race to fill outgoing Sen. Rob Portman’s seat. Despite his past criticisms of Trump, which included calling the former president an “idiot” and comparing him to Adolf Hitler, Vance won Trump’s endorsement in 2022 and cruised to a comfortable victory.

Vance’s connection to Teneo could form a bridge between different factions of the Republican Party that seem to be at odds. Previous news stories have reported that Trump and Leo, who advised the former president on judicial nominees during his administration, are no longer as close as they once were. Russ Vought, a Trump

called a hoax.

ally, publicly denigrated the Federalist Society, the legal networking group Leo and others built into a juggernaut.

Adding Vance to the ticket bolsters the connections between Leo’s network and the Trump 2024 campaign. It also strengthens ties between Trump’s reelection bid and the Project 2025 blueprint, which outlines plans for a second Trump administration, including firing thousands of career civil servants, shuttering the Department of Education and replacing ambitious goals to combat climate change with ramped-up fossil fuel production. In a recent TV interview, Vance said the document contained “some good ideas” but claimed that “most Americans couldn’t care less about Project 2025” and that the Trump campaign wasn’t affiliated with it.

In his Teneo remarks, he bemoaned that decades ago major corporate CEOs reliably donated money to Republicans but now they give heavily to Democrats. He lamented that conservatives had “very few oligarchs on our side,” had “lost every institution in American society” and needed to make corporations “taking the side of the

“So we’ve not just lost the academy,” meaning universities, “which we’ve lost for a long time; we haven’t just lost the media, which has been on the side of the left for a long time; we now find ourselves in a situation where our biggest multinational corporations are active participants in the culture war on the other side,” he said. “It’s really been a few of us over the past few years who have recognized that the big corporations have really turned against conservatives in a very big and powerful way.”

He argued that conservatives needed to take action against corporations that, say, defended abortion rights or punished employees who spoke out against abortion access. “If we’re unwilling to make companies that are taking the side of the left in the culture wars feel real economic pain, then we’re not serious about winning the culture war,” he said.

He said that Americans were “terrified to tell the truth” and “point out the obvious,” including that “there are real biological, cultural, religious, spiritual distinctions between men and women.” He added, “I think that’s what the whole transgender thing is about, is like fundamentally denying basic reality.”

Shortly before he spoke at the Teneo conference, Vance drew criticism when he tweeted that “Alex Jones is a far more reputable source of information than Rachel Maddow.” Jones, founder of the online show Infowars, gained a following with his promotion of conspiracy theories about the Sept. 11 terrorist attack. More recently, judges in several states ordered him to pay $1.5 billion to the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting, which Jones had

Vance told Teneo members that he was “just trolling” with his defense of Jones, but added “that doesn’t mean what I said is in any way untrue.”

“Look, I think there’s a not-terrible chance that one of you is going to be sharing cellblock 12A in Premier Harris’ prison detention camp in a few years,” he explained, seemingly referring to Vice President Kamala Harris. “If we’re going to all end up in that place, we might as well have a little fun while we get there. It’s OK to troll when you make and speak fundamental truths. But, look, I do think what I said was correct.”

If the conservative movement was going to survive, he continued, its members needed to “speak for truth.” He mentioned donors in Ohio who had asked him if he would condemn inflammatory remarks made by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“And I say, ‘Why? Why do you want me to denounce this person?’” Vance said. “‘Well, she believes these crazy things.’ Who cares?” He went on, “Believing crazy things is not the mark of whether somebody should be rejected. Believing important truths should be the mark of whether we accept somebody, and if they believe some crazy things on the side, that’s fine. We need to be OK with nonconventional people.” Update, July 16, 2024: This story has been updated to include comment from Leonard Leo.

Doyouremember when layoffs were unusual? They were a last resort that companies would only take if they had no other choice. Layoffs were shocking. They were a mark of shame on employers who couldn't seem to find any other option.

Today,layoffsare commonplace. In fact, they can be a badge of honor for a company. A company's stock price may go up following a layoff. Layoffs have evolved from a last resort to a first stop on the list of ways to save money.

Layoffs have become so normal that at times executive leadership may fail to mention to anyone that a layoff has occurred. And, the annual reviews that were once used to help improve someone's career are now the first place an employer may look for the best candidates to lay off.

Career corner: The emotional impact of layoffs

All in all, this is inhumane. What is going on for the employee who was walked out the door? Have layoffs been so normalized that these employees are not personally impacted?

The answer is: no. Employees who are laid off for any reason can face career-long ramifications that we often don't think about. It's such a painful topic that those who were laid off often don't talk about it. Or, they may pretend that it's normal.

According to Kyra Bobinet's book, “Unstoppable Brain,” layoffs bring "longterm negative consequences, including health issues, significant mental and financial stress, and a 1.3 to 3 times risk of suicide."

A Harvard Business Review article also noted that, "displaced workers have twice the risk of developing depression, and four times the risk of substance abuse." It also

TBy Angela Copeland angela@copelandcoaching.com

notes the cumulative effect of unemployment. Displaced workers often experience long-term income loss that sticks around for their entire career. "For example, workers laid off during the 1980s recession saw a 30 percent earnings decline, and 20 years later, most of them still earned 20 percent less than peers who retained their jobs."

These are startling statistics. Job loss might be compared to the deal of a spouse. It's losing a big part of your identity that is shocking and hard to recover from. In our achievementbased culture, it can feel like a reflection on who you are as a person. It can feel like a reflection of failed performance.

If you have gone through a layoff, I empathize with your experience. But, do not take too much time off between opportunities.

Start looking as fast as you can. The quicker you find something new, the more you will minimize the financial and emotional impact of the experience. And, the less likely the layoff will follow you through your

career and your finances. Reach out to your loved ones for support. Many people have had similar tough experiences. But, sadly, we often don't talk about it enough.

Study: Lower-income gamblers take greater risks online

he legalization of online gambling increases state revenues, but also leads to irresponsible betting, especially among lower-income gamblers, a report from UC San Diego's Rady School of Management purports Tuesday.

Since the 2018 U.S. Supreme Court decision that allowed states to legalize sports betting, online gambling markets have expanded significantly, with online gaming reaching a record 29.3% of total commercial gaming revenue in the first quarter of this year.

As the Paris Summer Olympics approach,

researchers believe activity will increase on gaming sites such as DraftKings and FanDuel. A total of 16 states have launched legal sports betting markets in the three years since the 2021 Tokyo games.

"Our data show that online gambling legalization leads to more irresponsible gambling spending among lower-income consumers than among higher-income gamblers," said Kenneth Wilbur, professor of marketing and analytics at the Rady School and co-author of the study. "We define gambling irresponsibly as spending a high proportion of their income -- for example, 10% -- on gambling."

By City News Service

Currently, 30 states permit online sports betting with seven of them also allowing online casino gaming (California does not allow online sports betting). The paper's authors looked at data from 32 states over five years -- comparing 18 states that changed online gambling policies to 14 that did not. What they found was that the house (nearly) always wins.

"Of the more than 700,000 gamblers that we studied, 96% percent appeared to lose money to online gambling," Wilbur said. "Only 4% made money from online betting. That is by design. Online gambling platforms often ban or throttle frequent winners'

accounts. There is no right to gamble."

For around 250,000 of those studied, the Rady School researchers could analyze gambling as a percentage of income through direct deposit data.

Canada advises gamblers to spend less than 1% of monthly income on gambling. However, the data revealed that 43% of gamblers studied exceeded 1% of income in gambling months, with 5.3% spending more than 10% of their income on gambling and 3.2% spending more than 15% of their monthly pay.

"Our analysis shows that online gambling legalization leads to far more irresponsible gambling among lower-

income gamblers than among higher- income gamblers," Wilbur said. "These findings emphasize the high financial risk associated with online gambling."

The researchers seek to provide the data to state legislatures as some -- such as New York and Illinois -consider expanding legalized gambling.

Study authors found gambling helpline calls did increase as gambling became legal in the 14 states analyzed, most notably in New York; however, suicides did not increase.

The authors write that suicide data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, while informative, has

limitations in measuring gambling-related suicides. State coroners generally do not document gambling as a contributing factor in suicide records, likely because they do not observe decedents' gambling activity. Ultimately, the authors conclude that legalized gambling has both pros and cons.

"On the positive side, states can generate revenue, potentially reduce illegal gambling and make it easier for individuals to seek help for gambling problems," they write. "On the downside, increased accessibility and participation can lead to higher rates of problematic gambling behavior."

Politics take center stage at national convention for educators

By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service

Afterahistoric weekend,politics turned out to be the major topic Monday at the national convention of more than 3,500 teachers union members.

The American Federation of Teachers, which is holding its biennial conference in Houston, is one of the groups to endorse Kamala Harris for President.

Randi Weingarten, president of the federation, praised the Biden/Harris administration's commitment to public education, while accusing Republicans of undermining workers' rights and attacking academic freedom.

"When the history books are written about this moment, let them record that we the people united,

mobilized, and voted down this existential threat to democracy and freedom," Weingarten stated.

Conservatives have argued public employee unions are too powerful.

Weingarten criticized the Trump administration's support of school vouchers, arguing they largely help wealthy families pay for private or religious schools, diverting funds from public education.

The union leader also slammed efforts across the country to ban controversial books in school libraries and restrict teaching on history, social justice and climate change.

"They fear what we do: The teaching of reason, of critical thinking, of honest history, of pluralism," Wein-

garten asserted. "Because their brand of greed, of power, of privilege cannot survive in a democracy of diverse, educated citizens."

Cassondra Curiel, a middle school English teacher and president of the United Educators of San Francisco, believes the administrations of Gov. Gavin Newsom and President Joe Biden have improved education funding in recent years, but said much more needs to be done.

"Pre-COVID, California was the 46th funded public education system in the country and post-COVID, we've now risen to 36th," Curiel pointed out. "As the fifth-largest economy in the world, we really have a moral obligation to fund

public education like we mean it."

Leaders at the conference also called for stricter gun laws, to reduce the likelihood of school shootings going forward.

Report: California giant sequoia groves in peril after megafires

wo new studies find that without sustained intervention, California may permanently lose big sections of old-growth giant sequoia groves. The majestic trees only grow on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada. Since 2015, 20% of them have died, mostly in three megafires in 2020 and 2021.

David Soderberg, Ph.D, a biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey and a study co-author, said the blazes incinerated many of the older, seed-bearing trees.

"You're getting much larger patches of fires burning at what's called high severity. So, you have this kind of bad combination for the sequoias where many more of the mature trees are dying, and there are many fewer of the seedlings regenerating," he explained.

The studies show there are substantially fewer seedlings than in the past, and those that germinate are imperiled by drought and heat stress linked to climate change. The Giant Sequoia Lands Coalition partners have planted more than 500,000 native seed-

By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service

lings in severely burned areas where reproduction has been insufficient.

Paul Ringgold, chief program officer with the Save the Redwoods League, said the idea is to give forest regeneration a head start.

"When you're planting seedlings, you're planting trees that have been grown in the nursery for two years or more. They're more robust than a seedling that is sprouting from a seed, giving it a little bit of an edge against the impact of drier, hotter summers," he said.

Old-growth sequoia

are the world's largest trees and depend on fire to reproduce. But Ringgold noted that past fire-suppression efforts have led to a buildup of excessive fuel loads in the forests. So, extensive projects are underway to clear out dead vegetation and make the groves more resilient to fire.

Hate crimes against membersofthe LGBTQ+ community have risen for the second year in a row, according to the latest "State of Pride" report from the California Department of Justice.

Between 2022 and 2023, the report showed hate crimes motivated by antiLGBTQ bias increased more than 86% across the state.

Toni Newman, chair of the nonprofit Trans Can

Anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes rise in California

Work, explained the importance of finding solutions.

"The death of trans women in the United States remains a critical issue highlighting racism, transphobia, and systemic violence," Newman emphasized. "(For) transgender women, particularly those of color, there's disproportionatelyhigh rates of violence."

So far in 2024, the Human Rights Campaign has tracked 20 violent

By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service

deaths of transgender and gender-expansive people, about half at the hands of intimate partners. It said 70% were people of color, and 35% were Black transgender women.

Becky Monroe, deputy director of strategic initiatives and external affairs for the California Civil Rights Department, wants victims to know they can call the new hotline at 833-8-NOHATE or go to the website

CAvsHate.org.

"We provide services in over 200 languages if people call," Monroe explained. "If you go on our website, we have a statewide network made up of hundreds of community-based organizations that are able to serve."

California versus Hate connects callers with trauma-informed counselors. Monroe added they can refer victims to law enforcement upon request.

California political analysts project close race as Biden endorses Harris

By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service

Californiapolitical analysts predict the race for president will tighten since President Joe Biden has dropped out and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.

If elected, Harris would be the first Black woman and first person of Asian descent to ascend to the highest office in the land.

Lynn Vavreck, professor of political science at the University of California-Los

Angeles, predicted it will re-energize the race on the Democratic side.

"There will be a flood of money coming into whatever the new ticket is likely to be," Vavreck pointed out. "The race will once again tighten to be somewhere around 50/50. That will roll us into the Democratic convention. And from that point forward, it's not that long until early voting starts."

Harris has vowed to "earn

and win" the nomination at the Democratic National Convention, which starts in Chicago on Aug. 19. It is unclear if anyone will challenge Harris for the nomination, or whom she might choose as a running mate.

Mark Baldassare, survey director for the Public Policy Institute of California, noted Harris previously served as a U.S. Senator from California, Attorney General of the Golden State, and District

Attorney for San Francisco.

"This is somebody who has a long history of public service at the local, state and national levels," Baldassare emphasized. "And of course, spent three years as the vice president, which is very relevant (to) somebody who would step into the Oval Office and become president."

Harris is a strong supporter of abortion rights, voting rights, social justice and environmental causes.

Antonio Villaraigosa announces bid for California governor

By City News Service

Former Los Angeles

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosaannounced Tuesday that he is running for governor of California in 2026, billing himself as a "proven problem solver."

"California is a state where anything is possible with hard work and determination," Villaraigosa said in an 86-second announcement video. "But our future depends on our willingness to face our biggest chal-

lenges. I believe we need a problem solver to lead our state. That's why I'm running for governor."

Villaraigosa went on to tout his record as Assembly speaker from 1998- 2000 and mayor from 2005-13.

The 71-year-old Democrat pledged as governor to "balance the state budget, make sure our neighborhoods are safe and our kids have great schools. I'll bring down costs for small businesses and

middle-class families."

Villaraigosa finished third in a field of 32 in the 2018 gubernatorial primary with 13.3% of the vote behind fellow Democrat Gavin Newsom, then the lieutenant governor, who received 33.7% and Republican businessman John Cox, who received 25.4%.

Other Democrats in the 2026 race for governor include Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, the first to declare her candidacy,

state Sen. Toni Atkins, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond and former Controller Betty Yee.

Attorney General Rob Bonta is weighing a bid.

On the Republican side, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco is weighing a run, while Leo Zacky, vice president of Zacky Farms, and former judge Jimmy Parker have declared their candidacies.

Fallen WW II serviceman's remains to be repatriated in Riverside

By City News Service

The remains of a U.S. ArmyAirCorps sergeant killed during a bomb run over Germany in World War II will be returning to American soil Thursday, and a nonprofit organization Tuesday asked Inland Empire residents to consider paying tribute to the serviceman when his casket is borne to a Riverside mortuary.

"We reach out to the community ... to ask for your support lining the route with flags to honor this hero as he is returned home to receive the honors he deserves," said Laura Herzog, founder of Garden Grove-based Honoring Our Fallen.

Tech Sgt. Donald V. Banta of Los Angeles was killed in action over Gotha, Germany, on Feb. 24, 1944.

The 21-year-old flight engineer was aboard a B-24J Liberator that was shot down amid heavy anti-aircraft fire. Two of his fellow crew members escaped before the four-engine bomber went into a steep dive and hit the ground, exploding on impact. Banta and the other men with him perished, according to details provided by the 703rd Bombardment Squadron, 445th Bombardment Group, at the time.

Herzog said German forces recovered remains found in the wreckage and buried them in a local cemetery.

Anthropologists from the U.S. Defense POW/MIA

Accounting Agency recovered the remains and conducted mitochondrial DNA testing which, last September, confirmed the remains belonged to Banta, she said.

Militaryofficials arranged for the return of the remnants, which will arrive at Ontario International Airport early Thursday afternoon.

The estimated time of departure from the aerodrome to Arlington Mortuary is 3:30 p.m.

According to Herzog, the

route to the mortuary will begin at Moore Way, turning east onto Airport Drive, then southbound on Haven Avenue, where the hearse will proceed for several miles until reaching Mission Boulevard, where it will head east again, ending at Hayes and Taft streets, in the mortuary parking lot.

Details on his burial services were not disclosed. More information is available at honoringourfallen.org.

1,700-acre blaze near Corona 98% contained; Homeland fire fully contained

By City News Service

A1,710-acre wildfire that erupted just east of Interstate 15 and south of Corona was 98% contained Tuesday and no longer posing a threat to surrounding homes.

The non-injury Eagle Fire was reported just after 2 p.m. Sunday in the area of Eagle Canyon and Cajalco roads, along the boundaries of the unincorporated community of El Cerrito, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.

The agency said that as of Monday, crews were making steady progress encircling the fire, which was no longer burning in the direction of homes, prompting public safety officials to cancel previously issued evacuation warnings for the area.

At the height of the blaze, 15 engine crews and six hand crews — numbering over 100 firefighters — were on the fire lines.

Evacuation orders and warnings were issued throughout multiple residential zones between El Cerrito and Lake Mathews. However, all of the orders were lifted by 9 p.m. Sunday, downgraded to warnings.

Several Cal Fire air tankers and one water-dropping helicopter made a series of runs on the blaze, but were also summoned to assist with the nearby "Hawarden Fire" burning in Riverside's Hawarden Hills neighborhood on Sunday. That blaze has since been contained after destroying or damaged more than a half-dozen homes.

There were no reports of impacts to residential properties in the vicinity of the Eagle Fire.

The cause of the fire was under investigation.

Homeland blaze fully

contained

A brush fire that erupted on the north end of Homeland, charring an estimated 15 acres and prompting several road closures, was 100% contained Tuesday.

The non-injury Juniper Fire was reported at 5 p.m. Monday in the area of Juniper Flats and Mapes roads, just north of Highway 74, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.

The agency said multiple engine and hand crews from the county, Hemet Fire Department and neighboring agencies were sent to the location and encountered flames moving rapidly through medium vegetation to the east.

By midnight, the blaze was fully contained. Crews were slated to spend most of Tuesday mopping up and knocking down any remaining hot spots, officials said.

Check Your Number

The fire had jumped Juniper Flats, spreading into a ravine and disrupting traffic on the two-lane road, which the California Highway Patrol shut down from the highway going north. Officers also closed Gilmore Road

south of St. Clair Road for public safety.

Two Cal Fire air tankers and two water-dropping helicopters from Hemet- Ryan Airport less than 10 miles away initiated runs on the brusher, enabling firefight-

ers to halt its forward rate of spread by nightfall. No homes or other structures were damaged.

Cal Fire prevention officers were dispatched to investigate whether the blaze had been intentionally set.

Man who killed friend after slap gets 42 years to life in prison

By City News Service

Aconvictedfelon who gunned down a 39-year-old San Jacinto man after the victim slapped him during an argument was sentenced Monday to 42 years to life in state prison.

A Riverside jury in May convicted Melvin Mario James Landry, 42, of San Jacinto of second-degree murder for the slaying of Gilbert Wah in 2020. Along with murder, the panel convicted Landry of sentence-enhancing gun and great bodily injury allegations.

During a hearing at the Riverside Hall of Justice Monday, Riverside County

Superior Court Judge Bernard Schwartz imposed the sentence required by law.

In January, a Banning jury deliberated two days before deadlocking on the murder and other charges, only finding the defendant guilty of being a felon in possession of a firearm. That led to the District Attorney's Office moving forward with retrying the case.

According to an agency trial brief, on the night of July 23, 2020, Wah, his wife, Octavia Wah, and Landry got together at the victim's house at 801 S. Camino Los Banos to "drink alcohol and smoke marijuana."

to Landry as a "pussy" and "bitch" — demeaning terms used to describe the defendant's relationship with his wife, according to the prosecution's brief.

from leaving, but he got away from her. She called 911, and patrol deputies converged on the location.

Sheriff's Sgt. Ken Thurm said as personnel were gearing up to begin a search, Landry "returned to the scene and surrendered."

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.

The typical home value in the United States was $360,310 in May, 3.9% 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.

Stacker compiled a list of cities with the fastest-growing home prices in the Riverside metro area using Zillow data. Cities are ranked by their one-year price change as of May 2024.

30. Mentone — 1-year price change: +$32,425 (+6.8%); 5-year price change: +$187,935 (+57.9%); Typical home value: $512,785 (#42 most expensive city in metro)

29. Winchester — 1-year price change: +$33,629 (+5.2%); 5-year price change: +$236,053 (+53.7%); Typical home value: $675,242 (#14

23. San Bernardino — 1-year price change: +$37,703 (+8.4%); 5-year price change: +$192,000 (+64.9%); Typical home value: $487,930 (#46

The defense said in its brief that Landry was in the midst of a divorce from his wife, Sylvia Joshua, because "he was caught cheating" on her. He was also suffering depression from the recent death of his mother.

As he, the victim and Octavia drank and smoked long into the night, tensions escalated due to Gilbert Wah's references

Shortly after 3 a.m. on July 24, Wah became aggressive, slapping Landry across the face. The defendant did not hit back, but instead went to his Dodge Durango pickup, grabbed a semiautomatic handgun, then returned to the house and confronted Wah, firing a single shot into his heart, prosecutors said.

The victim died on the spot.

His wife struck Landry and attempted to stop him

The defendant had a prior misdemeanor conviction in Riverside County for driving under the influence. He had a felony conviction in another jurisdiction, but the offense wasn't listed.

Court papers indicated Wah, too, had a record, including battery on a peace officer in another state, as well as a fraud conviction locally.

ORDINANCE NO. 2246

AN INTERIM ORDINANCE EXTENDING URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 2245 - PROHIBITING PERMITS FOR LAND USE ENTITLEMENTS WITHIN THE MCCASLIN BUSINESS PARK TO CONSIDER ADOPTING A SATURN PARK SPECIFIC PLAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MONTEREY PARK LAND USE ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN

The City Council for the City of Monterey Park does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1: This Ordinance is adopted pursuant to Government Code §§ 36937, 65858, and other applicable laws.

SECTION 2: Findings. The City Council finds, determines and declares as follows:

A. The City may adopt and enforce all laws and regulations not in conflict with the general laws and the City holds all rights and powers established by California law.

B. On June 17, 2020, the City Council approved the Land Use and Urban Design Element to the Monterey Park General Plan (the “2020 LUE”). Thereafter, the 2020 LUE was placed onto the November 3, 2020 ballot as Measure JJ. Following voter approval on November 3, 2020, the 2020 LUE (via Ordinance No. 2198) became effective on December 2, 2020.

C. Section 3(A) of Ordinance No. 2198 authorizes the City Council to implement the 2020 LUE by, among other things, adopting zoning regulations. Section 4 of Ordinance No. 2198 provides that Measure JJ must be interpreted to be consistent with all applicable law; Section 6 of Ordinance No. 2198 provides that Measure JJ must be broadly construed to achieve the voter’s intent in approving Measure JJ.

D. Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”) Chapter 21.14 was added by Measure D on April 14, 1998 (via Ordinance No. 1933). Measure D provided zoning regulations for the area identified as McCaslin Business Park.

E. The Regulating Plan of the General Plan Land Use Element (Figure LU-4 to the 2020 LUE) renamed this area as “Saturn Park” with a designated land use of “Innovation/Technology.” Goal 25 of the 2020 LUE directs the City Council to revitalize Saturn Park as a destination business park for high-quality service industry, research and development, and emerging industry jobs. This directive is further refined via Policy Nos. 25.1 to 25.3.

F. The 2020 LUE also provides that the City Council should ensure flexible zoning regulations; support local businesses; maintain a proactive economic development program; and invest in commercial corridors (Policy Nos. 1.1 to 1.4).

G. The City’s Housing Element reflects the City’s desire to encourage construction of housing that is attainable for households of all income levels. Among other things, the City Council determined that the City should take proactive actions to increase the availability of dwelling units on underutilized properties (see, e.g., Section 5(C) of Resolution No. 2022-R90, adopted November 16, 2022).

H. It is anticipated that the Saturn Park Advisory Review Committee (“SPARC”) will consider incorporating a residential component into the SPSP to help enhance the Innovation/Technology land use designation identified in the 2020 LUE. Among other things, this would:

1. Allow employees to live near their workplace, reducing vehicle trips.

2. Allow companies to offer subsidized housing as an employee benefit and amenity to attract talent.

3. Facilitate a live-work-play environment where residential, office, and recreational spaces coexist.

4. Foster closer social connections and a sense of community among employees who can interact more freely outside of work.

5. Align with the post-pandemic shift towards more flexible and hybrid workplace models.

I. Such efforts are reflected in “real world” developments such as the West Edge in Los Angeles (https://westedgela.com).

J. Additionally, the California Legislature is seeking various methods for promoting housing such as AB 1532 (Haney, 2023) which, were it approved, would allow office conversion projects by right within all zones. While this “Office to Housing Conversion Act” failed to advance within the Legislature, it represents the latest legislative path taken by the Legislature to encourage more housing within local jurisdictions.

K. A review of the 2020 LUE, the Certified Housing Element (March 30, 2023), and MPMC Chapter 21.14 shows that the existing zoning regulations are inconsistent with the voters’ vision for Saturn Park; the zoning regulations must be reconciled with the most recent voter directives in Measure JJ, the California Legislature’s directives (as reflected in the City’s Certified Housing Element), and California law.

L. In April 2024, the Planning Commission considered conceptual renderings and land uses for Saturn Park during two meetings. Thereafter, on May 22, 2024, the City Council created the SPARC to receive and implement

community input for drafting a Saturn Park Specific Plan (“SPSP”).

M. On May 23, 2024, representatives from 1980 Saturn met with the Mayor, City Manager, City Attorney, Assistant City Manager, and Community Development Director to plan for a data center at that location – which is a permissible use pursuant to MPMC Chapter 21.14 but inconsistent with the 2020 LUE land use designation for Saturn Park. Additionally, on January 11, 2024, the City’s Community Development Department received applications for a conditional use permit and design review for a data center proposed at 1977 Saturn Street.

N. As set forth in the City Council staff report dated June 5, 2024, it is anticipated that the SPARC would conclude its meetings in August or September of 2024 and provide the City Council with its recommendations regarding the SPSP at that time. The SPSP would implement the 2020 LUE as to Goal 25 and the Innovation/Technology land use designation.

O. Without the enactment of this Ordinance, the voter’s vision for revitalizing Saturn Park via Measure JJ and the 2020 LUE would be thwarted: pending applications for land uses currently allowed by MPMC Chapter 21.14, if approved, would lock in certain types of land uses for the foreseeable future.

P. The City Council determines that the MPMC requires updating to protect the public against health, safety, and welfare dangers caused by multiple applicants relying upon outdated land use regulations. The City needs additional time to prepare, evaluate and adopt reasonable regulations to implement the voter’s direction in Measure JJ and to ensure such regulations are applied in a nondiscriminatory manner.

Q. To prevent frustration of these studies and the implementation of new regulations, the public interest, health, safety, and welfare require enactment of this Ordinance. The absence of this Ordinance would impair the orderly and effective implementation of contemplated MPMC amendments, and any further authorization of these uses within the City during the period of the moratorium may conflict with or frustrate the contemplated updates and revisions of the MPMC.

R. Based on the foregoing, the City finds that that this Ordinance is necessary in order to protect the City from the potential effects and impacts of outdated land uses and the accompanying impacts from traffic and commerce on City streets, impacts on parking availability in the business areas of the City, the aesthetic impacts to the City, and other similar or related effects on property values and the quality of life in the City’s neighborhoods.

S. The City Council further finds that this moratorium is a matter of local and City-wide importance and is not directed towards any business that currently seeks to utilize MPMC Chapter 21.14.

T. On June 18, 2024, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 2245, prohibiting permits for land use entitlements within the McCaslin Business Park to consider adopting a Saturn Park Specific Plan in accordance with the Land Use Element of the General Plan. That ordinance will expire on August 2, 2024 (45 days after adoption).

U. The City Council further finds that additional time is necessary to allow for public outreach efforts to conclude before providing additional direction to staff related to Saturn Park, including, without limitation, the creation of the SPSP.

SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. Adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.) because it establishes rules and procedures for operation of existing facilities; minor temporary use of land; minor alterations in land use; new construction of small structures; and minor structures accessory to existing commercial facilities. This Ordinance, therefore, is categorically exempt from further CEQA review under CEQA Guidelines §§ 15301; 15303, 15304(e); 15305; and 15311. Further, the adoption of this Ordinance is also exempt from review under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3) because the Ordinance is for general policies and procedure-making. This Ordinance does not authorize any new development entitlements, but simply establishes policies and procedures for allowing the previously approved project to be constructed. Any proposed project that will utilize the changes set forth in this Ordinance will be subject to CEQA review as part of the entitlement review of the project. The Ordinance will not adversely impact the environment and is therefore exempt from the provisions of CEQA. SECTION 4: Interim regulations. The following provisions are adopted as interim requirements for issuing permits pursuant to the MPMC for land uses within Saturn Park, and any construction or operation in the City in conflict with these provisions is expressly prohibited:

A. Restricted Activities. For a period of 90 days after adoption of this Ordinance, the City will not issue any permit or land use entitlement to any person or entity for constructing, placing, or operating within the McCaslin Business Park, i.e., Saturn Park utilizing MPMC Chapter 21.14. The City Manager, or designee, must review any application for a permit or land use entitlement to determine compliance with the provisions of this Ordinance. City employees, and City boards and commissions, are directed to refrain from accepting or approving any application for any land use entitlement, including, without limitation, use permits,

variances, building permits, licenses and certificates of occupancy, necessary for constructing, placing, or operating within the Saturn Park area, and to refrain from issuing approvals for any land use entitlement for any pending applications already received. These restrictions do not apply to construction projects with active building permits and any emergency repairs or replacement of an element of a building, structure, utility system, or equipment that is essential to protect the public health, safety and welfare. These prohibitions will remain effective for 90 days following adoption of this Ordinance.

B. Exempted Activities. During the effectiveness this Ordinance, or any extension, the City may issue any permit or land use entitlement to any person or entity for constructing, placing, or operating within the McCaslin Business Park, i.e., Saturn Park, only if the criteria in this Section 4 are satisfied. The City Manager, or designee, must review any application for a permit or land use entitlement to determine compliance with the provisions of this Ordinance. City employees, City boards and commissions, and the City Council are permitted to accept, process and approve certain applications for land use entitlements, including, without limitation, use permits, variances, building permits, licenses and certificates of occupancy, necessary for constructing, placing, or operating within the Saturn Park area, only for development applications that: (1) were filed with the City before April 15, 2024; (2) include or are amended to include a development agreement per Chapter 21.44 of the Monterey Park Municipal Code; and (3) obtain City Council approval of the development agreement before, or concurrent with, approval of the project entitlements proposed in the timely-filed application. This exemption will remain effective for the term of this Ordinance, and any extensions.

SECTION 5: Construction. This Ordinance must be broadly construed to achieve the purposes stated in this Ordinance. It is the City Council’s intent that the provisions of this Ordinance be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Ordinance.

SECTION 6: Enforceability. Repeal of any provision of the MPMC does not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before this Ordinance’s effective date. Any such repealed part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of this Ordinance.

SECTION 7: Validity of Previous Code Sections. If this entire Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, any repeal or amendment of the MPMC or other city ordinance by this Ordinance will be rendered void and cause such previous MPMC provision or other the city ordinance to remain in full force and effect for all purposes.

SECTION 8: Severability. If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the city council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.

SECTION 9: Publication. The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of Monterey Park’s book of original ordinances; make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting; and, within fifteen (15) days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law.

SECTION 10: Report. Pursuant to Government Code § 65858, the City Manager, or designee, must prepare a report for City Council consideration describing the measures taken to address the conditions which led to adoption of this Ordinance. This report must be provided to the City Council so that it may be considered and issued not later than 10 days before this Ordinance expires. The report was made available to the City Council and public on July 3, 2024, posted at the City’s posting places and at the City’s website.

SECTION 11: Effective Date. This Ordinance will become effective immediately upon adoption pursuant to Government Code §§ 36937 and 65858 for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety, and welfare.

SECTION 12: Expiration Date. Urgency Ordinance No. 2245 is hereby extended pursuant to Government Code Section 65858 for 90 days past the initial expiration date of Urgency Ordinance No. 2245 so as to extend the moratorium until June 17, 2025, unless a subsequent ordinance is adopted by the City Council that extends this date.

PASSED AND ADOPTED this 17th day of July, 2024.

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.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866) 266-7512 or visit this internet website www.elitepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2467977. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (866) 266-7512, or visit this internet website www.elitepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 24-67977 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Man allegedly armed with machete shot dead by deputies in Jurupa

By City News Service

Ahomeless man armed with a machete was fatally shot by sheriff's deputies Friday when they attempted to take him into custody for allegedly threatening park rangers in Jurupa Valley.

The shooting occurred about 7:30 a.m. along the Santa Ana River bottom, near the intersection of Crestmore Road and 34th Street, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.

Lt. Deirdre Vickers said rangers from the county Park

and Open Space District were cleaning up an apparent transient encampment when the suspect, whose name was not immediately released, allegedly brandished a machete and a large pipe at them, prompting the rangers to seek assistance from patrol deputies.

"Deputies located the male," Vickers said. "Deputies gave him commands to drop the weapons, but he refused to comply."

She said the deputies deployed a less-lethal device to subdue the suspect, but it

had no effect.

"The male, still armed with the machete, continued to behave erratic and assaultive toward the deputies, and a deputyinvolved shooting occurred," the lieutenant said.

The man was mortally wounded and taken to a Riverside hospital, where he died a short time later.

The deputies weren't injured, nor were the rangers.

The deputy who fired the fatal shot was placed on paid administrative leave

Report: Riverside County's jobless rate rises

By City News Service

Despite gains in some sectors of the regional economy, Riverside County's unemployment rate rose back above 5% last month, according to figures released Friday by the California Employment Development Department.

The countywide jobless rate in June, based on preliminary EDD estimates, was 5.4%, compared with 4.4% in May.

According to data, the June rate was slightly above the year-ago level, when countywide unemployment stood at exactly 5%.

The combined unemployment rate for Riverside and San Bernardino counties — the Inland Empire — in June was 5.3%, up from 4.3% in May, the EDD said.

Bi-county data indicated that payrolls expanded by the widest margin in trade, transportation and utilities, which added an estimated 3,100 jobs last month, many of them in warehousing.

Additional gains were recorded in the agricultural, construction, financial services, health services, hospitality, information technology and manufacturing sectors, which altogether grew by 5,000 jobs, according to the EDD.

Miscellaneous unclassified industries added about 200 positions.

The public and professional business services sectors contracted, losing 1,300 jobs, data showed.

The mining sector was unchanged.

The statewide non-seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in June was 5.3%.

pending the outcome of an investigation conducted by the sheriff's Force Investigations Detail, whose members include District Attorney's Office personnel.

The deputy's name wasn't released.

Homeless encampments are strewn throughout the river bottom, both within the city limits of Jurupa Valley and Riverside. The county and city have implemented regulations effectively barring the camps, but while some are dismantled, others take their place year-round.

MOfficers impound 14 dogs in Sky Valley after owner found dead

By City News Service

arking a third "hoarding-like situation" in two weeks, Riverside County Animal Services officers impounded 14 dogs from a Sky Valley property with a deceased owner where dozens more canines were found, officials said Tuesday.

Officers were contacted Sunday after the landlord of a ranch on Vee Bee Road between Dillon Road and 19th Avenue was found unresponsive, according to the statement. Five Great Danes were discovered near the man's body, leading authorities to reach out to Animal Services.

The officers are scheduled to return to the property to remove "dozens" of additional dogs, according to the statement, which estimated the total number of dogs at approximately 50, mostly smaller breeds.

The landlord's sister relinquished ownership of the dogs.

Lt. Luis Rosa expressed concern that the animals could face heat- related injuries or death as his team continued roundup efforts Monday. In the meantime, residents of the property were providing the dogs with food and water as Animal Services continues to collaborate with rescue partner groups for transport missions — one of which is already in the works, according to the statement. "Rescue missions such as this are a vital part of our portfolio of positive outcomes" Riverside County

Animal Services Director Erin Gettis said. "Other states and organizations are in need of animals for adoption and it is wonderful when we can work with these community partners to make it happen."

The Sky Valley incident was the third such hoarding case handled by the agency since mid-July. Officers impounded another approximately 50 dogs, including several dead dogs, from a Thermal property on July 11, and rounded up 20 dogs from an Indio residence on July 12.

San Bernardino County sheriff’s op helps 3-dozen unhoused people

By Staff

Sheriff'sdeputies recently connected 36 individuals in Fontana and nearby unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County with referrals to assistance programs in the latest outreach operation to help people get housed, officials reported July 18.

The sheriff’s Homeless Outreach Proactive Enforcement Team in a July 12 operation located 39 people experiencing homelessness and provided 36 with referrals to assistance programs, according to the county. Deputies linked eight individuals with follow-up professional services.

The outreach effort was part of Operation Shelter Me, which "aims to connect staff with unhoused residents and offer them housing, medical and mental health treatment services," county officials said in a statement. "During this operation, the team focused on those with the most significant mental illness to get those individuals linked to restorative mental health pathways."

Despite limited service capacity, the sheriff's teams will continue to work those suffering from severe mental health issues into services as they become available, officials said.

In June 2023, San Bernardino County signed onto Laura’s Law, also referred to as assisted outpatient treatment. The law provides opportunities for court-ordered community treatment pathways for people who have been hospitalized or jailed and have histories of violence.

Deputies did not encounter any individuals who appeared to be candidates for assisted outpatient treat-

ment during the July 12 operation, according to the county.

Deputies will continue operations of this type throughout the county over the next year with Community Concerns funds provided by the Board of Supervisors.

"This special funding allows the Sheriff’s Department to direct resources towards addressing topics of concern, like homelessness and mental illness, to county residents," officials said.

To report individuals experiencing homelessness who need services, call the HOPE Team at 909-387-0623 or email hope@sbcsd.org.
