zavier Avalos has the distinction of being the first recipient of the Soboba Fire Department Chief Howard Maxcy Sr. Firefighter of the Year award. The accolade was set in motion when the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians opened its state-of-the-art fire station in June of 2019.

The award’s criteria are an ongoing improvement of skills, good attitude, positive impact on fellow crew members and a willingness to go above and beyond. Chief Glenn Patterson said Avalos stood out in many ways throughout the year.

“He is always willing to step up when we need him, signed up for extra-curricular classes, got qualified as a Fireline Paramedic and took assignments in Northern California and even provided haircuts to crew members during the pandemic shutdown,” Patterson said. “He’s shown significant improvement in skill sets, is always happy to be here and walks in with a smile on his face.”

Firefighter/Paramedic Avalos said cutting hair is like a hobby for him and he learned from his mother, who owns a hair salon and barbershop in Colorado.

She also teaches cosmetology classes.

“I watched her ever since I was a little kid,” he said. “Ever since COVID, I’ve cut the hair for many friends and family members.”

Avalos, 25, lived in Colorado for many years before returning to California after high school to live with – and learn from – family members that work for CalFire. He knew that was the direction he wanted to take for his own career and has been grateful for the opportunity to grow with the young Soboba Fire Department.

“I get to learn from different people from different areas and from all levels of experience,” he said. “The work environment is great and I get to work with all the latest technology, take classes that are offered and get tips from everyone around me.

I have learned something from every single person here. And I see something new every day.”

Avalos just completed a swift water rescue class, one of many specialty classes available. He said he was taught from a very young age that education is very important and is always open to studying new things.

He also enjoys getting to know Tribal Members who live at the Soboba Reservation, some who are also employed at Soboba Fire. He said it’s like a small-town environment and he

enjoys getting recognized by its residents.

“I get to learn about the history and culture of Soboba, which is an honor,” Avalos, of Hemet, said.

The station employs 22 staff with seven Fire Captains who each submitted a nomination.

Howard Maxcy Jr. is one of those captains. The award was named in honor of his father, who served as Soboba Fire Department’s first Fire Chief.

Howard “Poncho” Maxcy Sr. was an integral part of Soboba starting its own fire department in 2014. His leadership and expertise created a solid foundation to build upon. He was hired with the California Department of Forestry (CDF) in April 1969.

uesday night's Hemet City Council meeting presented quite a surprise to those of us who cover this twice-monthly event. In closed session, the Council evaluated the performance of City Manager Chris Lopez and came back into public session with a thumbs up on his performance which, for the first time in years, did not result in termination. We have attempted to contact Lopez for comment but have been unable to do so by press time.

The IT presented a highlight reel of recent accomplishments in Hemet, which can now be seen on the City's website.

A couple of dozen citizens were honored for dedication to the City in voluntary roles by the Council and some received commendations from the State for services which have enhanced the City in various ways.

Several nurses from the Hemet Hospital spoke, requesting the City support them in their negotiations with the hospital for better working conditions and other issues, claim-

ing that they were on the verge of a strike if their efforts and demands were not met. Mayor Karlee Meyer reminded them that the City has nothing to do with hospital matters.

The Council received and approved the FY2019/2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. The private auditing company stated that the City was given the highest rating they have to offer, which brought a round of smiles from the council members.

Staff recommended the Council conduct a public hearing, adopt a resolution approving the fiscal year 2020-2021 capital improvement and authorize the finance director to establish total project appropriations per the CIP for new requests.

There was much discussion about the large number of street improvements, including paving and slurry over the past year and projects currently being performed or scheduled for this year. City Manager Chris Lopez made a special effort to thank the Council and staff for their cooperation in accomplishing these goals. The Mayor noted that

Because of who I am as an Asian-Filipina, because of my parents, my aunties, friends, and connected communities of color, these attacks feel more personal.

RIVERSIDE, CA.

Some Riverside County COVID-19 vaccine clinics relocated to improve service Riverside County health officials are relocating several of the COVID-19 vaccine clinic sites to new locations. The changes will take effect at the end of business today (March 19) and the new locations are scheduled to open Monday.

“These changes will help us better serve the residents in Riverside County, especially with additional staff at the Moreno Valley mall site, which will double the capacity,” said Kim Saruwatari, director of Riverside County Public Health.

Here are the changes: --The clinic at Citrus Hill High School will be closed and the staff relocated to the existing clinic at the Moreno Valley Mall (former Sears building).

--The clinic at San Gorgonio Middle School in Beaumont is being moved to the Albert A. Chatigny Senior Community Recreation Center, 1310 Oak Valley Parkway, Beaumont.

--The clinic at the Riverside Convention Center (operated by Curative) is being moved to the former Sears building in Riverside, 6852 Streeter Avenue, Riverside.

“We realize the need to modify vaccination locations with many schools reopening in the near future,” said Board Chair Karen Spiegel, Second District Supervisor. “We are grateful to these school districts that have graciously provided venues to the county team in our effort to vaccinate thousands of Riverside County residents. The new locations will continue to provide convenient sites closer to our residents.”

Police say man called 911 to confess to stabbing his mother A Southern California man who called 911 and said he had just stabbed his mother and accidentally cut himself during the attack was arrested on suspicion of murder, authorities said.

Officers responding to a home in Riverside on Sunday found the woman suffering from multiple stab wounds, said Riverside police Officer Ryan Railsback. Linda Coleman, 62, was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Coleman’s son, 38-year-old Otis James Porter, was taken into custody without incident, Railsback said. It wasn’t known Tuesday if he has an attorney.

An initial investigation determined Porter stabbed his mother during an argument and accidentally stabbed himself in the leg, Railsback said.

Porter was treated at a hospital and then taken to jail. He could face a murder charge.

California may end ‘spousal rape’ distinction in punishment DON THOMPSON | AP NEWS

C

alifornia would end what lawmakers called an archaic distinction between spousal rape and other forms of sexual assault under identical bills backed by proponents on Monday.

While there is no difference in the maximum penalties, those convicted of spousal rape currently can be eligible for probation instead of prison or jail.

They also may not have to register as a sex offender. The law currently requires anyone convicted of rape to register, but those convicted of spousal rape must register only under certain circumstances such as if the spouse was sentenced to state prison.

“The exact same act by a spouse is treated less punitively” under California law, said Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia, who is carrying one of the bills. “Rape is rape, regardless of marital status or not.”

California is one of 11 states that still distinguish between spousal rape and rape, after Minnesota

most recently eliminated the exception in 2019, according to proponents.

The distinction dates from the days when women were expected to obey their husbands and was “based on the idea that men have a property right of sexual access to the bodies of their wives,” said Stanford University law professor and sociologist Michele Dauber.

“Historically, men could rape their wives with impunity,” Dauber said. It wasn’t until 1979 that a husband was first prosecuted in the United States for raping his wife, she said. Though all states have since made spousal rape illegal, some including California still “treat it as a far less serious crime.”

The traumatic effect on the victim is the same no matter their marital status, California NOW president Kolieka Siegle said in backing the bills.

Until 1975, all states had laws similar to California’s, said state Sen. Dave Cortese, Garcia’s fellow Democrat who is carrying an identical measure.

Both bills would end the spousal

rape exception in the state’s criminal code, so the rape of a spouse would be treated and punished the same as the rape of a non-spouse.

“A wedding license and a wedding ring do not make rape a less serious offense,” said Santa Clara District Attorney Jeff Rosen.

Just under 10% of reported rapes in California are spousal rape cases, Rosen said, though “we know these crimes are way underreported.”

The distinction is particularly antiquated now that many people live together without ever marrying, Rosen said: “It is inherently unfair to allow marital status to be an escape hatch for accountability for rape.”

The bills were also backed by another member of the reform-minded Prosecutors Alliance of California, San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin.

Proponents said they were unaware of any formal opposition.

Neither the California District Attorneys Association nor the California Public Defenders Association commented.

California bill aims to jumpstart ‘microstamps’ on handguns DON THOMPSON | AP NEWS

G

un control advocates are making a new attempt to force the gun industry to comply with California’s unique law requiring individual identifiers on all bullet casings, a mandate that has been toothless since it was approved in 2007.

The law requires gun manufacturers to adopt micro-stamping technology on new types of handguns introduced in California.

The intent was to imprint a unique set of microscopic characters on all cartridge casings when weapons are fired, linking bullet casings to the guns that discharged them.

Gun makers have said the technology is unreliable and to get around the law have not introduced new gun models in the state since the law was passed.

New legislation would expand the law to include weapons used by law enforcement, which are currently exempt. The thinking is that forcing police officers into the marketplace would prompt manufacturers to improve technology so they can sell the weapons to members of law enforcement.

The bill by Democratic Assemblyman Jesse Gabriel, co-founder of the Legislature’s Gun Violence Prevention Working Group, would add law enforcement starting in 2023.

“The main priority here is to really overcome the obstinance from gun manufacturers,” Gabriel told The Associated Press. ”They’ve re-

Mark Oliva, spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation that is the trade association for the firearm industry, said microstamping is an “ unworkable technology.”

It could take up to 10 bullet casings to piece together one complete digital identifier that could determine the weapon that fired the bullets, he said.

“It sounds great on paper but ... it doesn’t hold up. All it does is infringe on the rights of law-abiding citizens and make firearms unavailable to them,” Oliva said.

Moreover, he said, the technology could be easily defeated by sanding the microstamp off the firing pin in much the same way that criminals currently erase guns’ serial numbers.

As a result, Oliva said, “I don’t see how this would to help to solve crime or resolve criminal misuse of firearms.”

The microstamps also would eventually wear off of the firing pins, Oliva said, because law enforcement officers may fire thousands of rounds with their service weapons in training alone.

Last year, California enacted a law easing the requirement for two microstamps on each shell casing to one, with proponents citing legal filings in which the industry said it could meet that standard.

Another bill this year would keep the two-stamp requirement in place until July 2022.

SB 95 Legislation signed to provide paid sick leave Governor Newsom Signs Legislation to Ensure Access to Supplemental Paid Sick Leave for Workers Impacted by the Pandemic GOV.CA.GOV | CONTRIBUTED

B

uilding on the state’s action to expand paid sick days protections for California’s workforce during the pandemic, Governor Gavin Newsom today signed SB 95, legislation to ensure access to up to 80 hours of COVID-19 supplemental paid sick leave for eligible employees, including those advised to quarantine or isolate and those caring for COVID-impacted family members.

“Paid sick leave gives workers the time they need to care for themselves and loved ones while keeping their coworkers, families and communities safe,” said Governor Newsom. “Even as case rates and hospitalizations decline and vaccinations ramp up, we can’t let our guard down and must do all we can to stop this virus from spreading. I thank the Legislature for its continued leadership and commitment to supporting California workers affected by this pandemic.”

SB 95 extends protections through September 30, 2021 and is retroactive to sick leave taken beginning January 1, 2021. Small businesses employing 25 or fewer workers are exempt from the legislation, but may offer supplemental paid sick leave and, if eligible, receive a federal tax credit.

“Protecting the frontline workers that have sustained us all during this unprecedented crisis has been a top priority of our emergency response from the very beginning of the pandemic,” said Senator María Elena Durazo (D-Los Angeles). “By expanding supplemental paid leave, SB 95 will build on this progress by allowing employees across the state

to put their health first without fearing that it might jeopardize their job. This emergency legislation will save lives, help small businesses, and ultimately keep our families and communities safer.”

“Paid sick leave is critical not only for the well-being of our dedicated workforce, but for the safety of their families, customers and communities,” said Assemblymember Wendy Carrillo (D-Los Angeles). “Under AB84/ SB95, workers can rest assured they will be able to take time off if they or a loved one gets sick, need to quarantine or attend an appointment to be vaccinated.

California’s essential workers who have not had the privilege to stay home during the pandemic are deserving of protections that ultimately save lives. Combined with other initiatives implemented by the state to support workers and their employers, paid sick leave will help ensure California remains on the right track as we

Staff recommended authorizing the City Manager to execute the attached Memorandum of Understanding between the City and Service Employees International Union for the three-year period of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2022 and adopt a Resolution amending the Fy20/21 Budget in support of this agreement and authorize the

Finally, directed staff to continue with all-risk property coverage, no additional appropriation required. Directed staff to participate in all or a portion of the balance of the property programs listed; authorize finance director to record a supplemental appropriation for the prorated amount of any additional programs the City will participate in.

Finally, the Council approved the legal services agreement with Cole Huber LLP with periodic reviews.

Last but not least, the various council members gave their reports on committee assignments as well as ad-hoc committees—none of these required actions at this time since they merely reported not agenda items for approval.

As city council meetings go, this one was particularly important in that the Council seemed to be pleased with the performances of both the City Manager and the City Attorney. For Hemet, that can be considered an improvement over the past. When the entire Council is on the same page, the City always profits. Just sayin' russtystrait@gmail.com

He was amazed by the skill of these young athletes - flying through the air with lay-ups and slamdunks - not to mention their incredible running and shooting skills.

Signatures are in. What you need to know about the Gavin Newsom Recall Effort NICOLE NIXON | CONTRIBUTED

time Newsom received enormous backlash for attending a group dinner at the French Laundry, a posh Napa Valley restaurant, while urging Californians not to gather with people outside their household.

T

he signatures are in — organizers behind a push to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom say they’ve submitted more than enough names to force an election to potentially oust the governor.

If it qualifies for the ballot, the election would be California’s first gubernatorial recall in nearly two decades and is sure to be an expensive one. Here’s what you need to know about the effort to recall and replace Newsom.

WHAT IS A RECALL AND HOW DOES IT WORK? California is one of 20 states that allows voters to recall their governor. The last time this happened in California was in 2003, when Gov. Gray Davis was recalled and replaced by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

To put a gubernatorial recall on the ballot, organizers must collect signatures equal to 12% of votes cast in the most recent gubernatorial election — that means they need at least 1,495,709 signatures from registered voters.

If a recall qualifies for the ballot, a special recall election will be held. Voters will be asked two questions: • Should the elected official be removed from office?

• If the official is removed, who should take their place?

nians vote to recall Newsom, he will be removed from office — even if no replacement candidate receives more than 50% of the vote.

WHY IS NEWSOM BEING RECALLED? Organizers of the current recall movement say there are a list of reasons Californians signed their petitions: frustration over Newsom’s handling of the pandemic and business restrictions, worsening housing and homelessness crises, high taxes and cost of living, and more.

“This is about Gavin Newsom and his failed policies that have put us in the state of despair we are in today,” said Orrin Heatlie, the main proponent of the recall effort.

HOW IS NEWSOM RESPONDING TO THE RECALL? Newsom has painted the recall movement as driven by political extremists, anti-vaccine activists, and national GOP figures who despise California politics. He’s launched a campaign to fend off the challenge, which he’s branded “the Republican recall.”

But this isn’t the first time Newsom’s critics have tried to recall him — many elected officials in the Golden State face recall petitions, though they rarely make it to the ballot.

In fact, six separate recall papers have been filed against Newsom since he took office in 2019.

al from the state to begin gathering signatures in June 2020.

They initially got 160 days to do that, which means they would have been required to turn all their petitions in by mid-November.

Proponents had hoped to spend last summer gathering signatures at festivals and other large events. But, as they told a Sacramento Superior Court judge, that became difficult to do when COVID-19 struck.

The judge granted the campaign a 120-day extension of their original signature-gathering deadline. That gave them plenty of extra time to organize and collect voter signatures.

Political observers point out that the deadline extension came in November, around the

POLITICAL CARTOONS

If more than 50% of voters answer “yes” to the first question, Newsom will be recalled, and the candidate who wins the most votes will replace him. A governor who is the subject of a recall cannot run as their own replacement. That means if a majority of Califor-

WHEN WILL WE KNOW IF THERE WILL BE A RECALL? AND WHEN WOULD WE VOTE ON IT? Organizers of the current recall effort say they turned in a total of 2,117,730 signatures — well above the threshold of nearly 1.5 million — by the March 17 deadline. County election officials have until April 29 to verify those signatures — meaning we should find out by the end of April if a special recall election will be heading to the ballot.

If there is a recall, campaign experts with California Target Book say it would likely take place later this fall, in November or December (see more on this below).

WHO’S RUNNING? A handful of Republican candidates have already announced their intention to run. They include former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, businessman Jon Cox and former Rep. Doug Ose. If the recall qualifies for the ballot, there will likely be many, many more candidates — in 2003, the ballot listed a total of 135 gubernatorial hopefuls.

WHO’S SUPPORTING THE RECALL AND WHO’S AGAINST IT? A number of groups and individuals have already donated money toward either support-

“Because the People Must Know.”

Public Notice advertising plays a unique role both in American history and in the process by which this country’s democracy is preserved.

Its one premise is that people must be informed if they are to govern themselves competently. Public Notice advertising first came into being with the Congress of 1792. That body, recognizing its responsibility to the people, required the Postmaster General to advertise for bids for the construction of new post offices.

From that inauspicious beginning to the publication requirements in federal, state and local laws today, government officials have come more and more to understand their obligations to inform the public through Public Notice advertising. Newspapers over the years have been the vehicle by which these obligations have been fulfilled. They will continue to be as long as the public demands that it be informed frequently and by the best means possible.

Prepare the popcorn: AMC opening more movie theaters MICHELLE CHAPMAN | AP NEWS

I

t’s showtime! AMC Theatres says it will have 98% of its U.S. movie theaters open last Friday as a bunch of theaters reopen in California.

Even more theaters are expected to open by March 26.

AMC said that more than 40 of its locations in California are reopening beginning on Friday.

California is expected to open 52 of its 54 locations

by Monday. The Leawood, Kansas-based company is preparing to resume operations at the rest of its California locations once the proper local approvals are in place. AMC previously opened more than 500 of its theaters elsewhere around the country.

Movie theaters all over shuttered their doors a year ago as the coronavirus pandemic swept the globe. While some movie theaters have opened over the past few months with limited capacity and enhanced safety proto-

cols, the announcement

by AMC — the nation’s largest movie chain — to open nearly all of its U.S. theaters by month’s end means more people will have more locations to choose from if they want to see a film on the big screen.

AMC’s announcement is welcomed by movie fans not only because more of them will get to return to AMC’s reclining seats and stadium style format, but because it means the company has hopefully put the worst behind it.

It was only in June that AMC cautioned it may not survive the coronavirus pandemic, as its theaters closed and film studios started releasing more movies directly to viewers on streaming services.

But AMC stayed the course, slowly opening its theaters in states over the past several months when it was allowed to and pivoting its business. One of its outside-the-box moves included renting out theaters for private movie screenings to a limited

number of people.

Analyst Eric Wold of B. Riley Securities said in a recent client note that he continues “to see an attractive setup for an attendance and box office rebound into 2022 on an impressive, blockbuster-fueled film slate.” He increased the company’s price target to $7 from $5.50.

Shares of AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. rose more than 3% to $14.03 in afternoon trading on Thursday. In the year to date the stock is up over 500%.

More theaters opening will also mean more jobs for people to go to. AMC spokesman Ryan Noonan says the company is welcoming back employees who were working for it prior to theaters being shut down, as well as bringing in new workers.

All will be trained on its cleaning and safety protocols, which include social distancing and automatic seat blocking in each theater, mandatory mask wearing, hand sanitizing

stations, upgraded air filtration, contactless ticketing and mobile ordering for food and drinks.

AMC’s theater reopenings are part of the entertainment industry’s gradual road to recovery as states begin loosening restrictions and more people receive vaccinations. Earlier this month, movies reopened in New York City, a top market both for blockbusters and smaller films looking to get good word of mouth.

And last week California announced that Disneyland will be able to open next month and new public health rules would allow live concerts at stadiums and sports arenas to reopen with limited attendance April 1.

The industry reopenings were reflected in key economic data: the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ latest report says that in February, most of the job gains that occurred were in the leisure and hospitality industries. Employment in those sectors increased by 355,000.

3. Shooter (2007) A marksman living in exile is coaxed back into action after learning of a plot to kill the President. After being double crossed for the attempt and on the run, he sets out for the real killer and the truth.

4. The American (2010) Among assassins, Jack is a master craftsman. When a job in Sweden ends more harshly than expected for this American abroad, he vows to his contact Pavel that his next assignment will be his last.

5. The Wall (2017) Two American Soldiers are trapped by a lethal sniper, with only an unsteady wall between them.

HOUSING MARKET

Hot housing market fuels a rise in homeowners’ equity ALEX VEIGA | ASSOCIATED PRESS

T

he red-hot U.S. housing market is paying off for many homeowners, even those who aren’t looking to sell their home.

On average, homes with a mortgage gained $26,300 in equity in the last three months of 2020 versus a year earlier, according to real estate information company CoreLogic. That average gain is the highest since 2013, the firm said.

CoreLogic said homes with a mortgage account for about 62% of all U.S. properties. Taken together, the home equity for those properties surged to more than $1.5 trillion, an increase of 16.2% from a year earlier.

The surge in homeowners’ equity can potentially make a positive impact on borrowers’ finances; for one thing, it creates a buffer against potential financial hardship, such as job loss.

And homeowners could opt to put some of the gains to use, giving a boost to the economy.

“In our view, these strong equity gains are a clear positive for homeowner balance sheets, as well as for overall additional consumer spend-

ing, should homeowners be desirous of tapping a portion of their equity gains,” Jonathan Woloshin, a real estate and lodging analyst at UBS, wrote in a research note last week.

Rising home values and low mortgage rates spurred many U.S. homeowners to refinance and cash in some of the equity in their home last year. Homeowners pulled out $152.7 billion in equity, an increase of 41.7% from 2019 and the highest refinancing cash-out dollar amount since 2007, according to mortgage buyer Freddie Mac. Homeowners also tapped into the equity in their home via a home equity line of credit, or HELOC. The volume of HELOCs more than doubled in 2020 from a year earlier to $74.9 billion.

Low mortgage rates, strong demand and a record low inventory of homes for sale nationwide have fueled home sales and pushed home prices higher since last summer.

Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes climbed 5.6% in 2020 from a year earlier to 5.64 million, the highest level since 2006 at the height of the housing boom, according to the Na-

tional Association of Realtors. The national median home sales price jumped 12.9% to $309,800.

The strong demand for homes continued in January, with sales ticking up 0.6% from December and almost 24% from a year earlier. By the end of January, however, the supply of homes on the market nationally was down to a record-low 1.04 million units. That amounts to a 1.9 months’ supply. A balanced housing market tends to have a 6-month supply. The Realtors group issues its February home sales data next week.

When home equity rises, it reduces the risk that a homeowner with a mortgage will end up “underwater” on their loan, meaning they owe more on their mortgage than their home is worth. That can happen when a home’s value declines, or when the size of the mortgage increases, say when someone takes out a home equity loan.

Homes in California, Idaho and Washington saw among the biggest average increases in annual equity gains in the fourth quarter: $54,500 in California, $48,500 in Idaho and $47,000 in Washington

Even a robust housing market with rising prices can’t limit the risk of a homeowner ending up underwater on their home loan entirely.

In the fourth quarter, some 410,000 U.S. residential properties were underwater on their mortgage, according to CoreLogic.

That’s a 21% decline from the same period in 2019, when 1.9 million homes, or 3.6% of all properties with a mortgage, were in negative

equity, the firm said.

Miami, Miami Beach and the suburb of Kendall, Florida, had an average negative home equity share that was among the biggest nationally at 6.3%.

The underwater mortgages at the end of December represent roughly $280.2 billion in mortgage debt, down 2.6% from a year earlier, CoreLogic said.

When a mortgage is underwater, the homeowner often can’t qualify for mortgage refinancing and has

little recourse but to continue making payments in hopes the property eventually regains its value.

Many economists expect home prices to continue rising this year, which bodes well for homeowners with underwater mortgages. Should U.S. home prices increase by 5%, then some 216,000 homes would regain equity, CoreLogic said. If the reverse happens, nearly 300,000 homes would slip into negative equity, the firm said.

BOULDER, COLORADO

Officials: Gun in supermarket shooting bought 6 days earlier PATTY NIEBERG, THOMAS PEIPERT AND COLLEEN SLEVIN | AP NEWS

P

olice on Tuesday identified a 21-year-old man as the suspect who opened fire inside a crowded Colorado supermarket, and court documents showed that he purchased an assault rifle less than a week before the attack that killed 10 people, including a police officer.

Supermarket employees told investigators that Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa shot an elderly man multiple times Monday outside the Boulder grocery store before going inside, according to the documents. Another person was found shot in a vehicle next to a car registered to suspect’s brother.

Authorities said Alissa was from the Denver suburb of Arvada and that he engaged in a shootout with police inside the store. The suspect was being treated at a hospital and was expected to be booked into the county jail later in the day on murder charges.

Investigators have not established a motive, but authorities believe he was the only shooter, Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty said.

In Washington, President Joe Biden called on Congress to tighten the nation’s gun laws.

“Ten lives have been lost, and more families have been shattered by gun violence in the state of Col-

orado,” Biden said at the White House.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer vowed to bring forward two House-passed bills to require expanded background checks for gun buyers. Biden supports the measures, but they face a tougher route to passage in a closely divided Senate with a slim Democratic majority.

The suspect purchased the assault weapon just six days before the shooting, on March 16, according to the arrest affidavit released Tuesday. It was not immediately known where the gun was purchased.

The shooting came 10 days after a judge blocked a ban on assault rifles passed by the city of Boulder in 2018. That ordinance and another banning large-capacity magazines came after the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, that left 17 people dead.

A lawsuit challenging the bans was filed quickly, backed by the National Rifle Association. The judge struck down the ordinance under a Colorado law that blocks cities from making their own rules about guns.

A law enforcement official briefed on the shooting said the suspect’s family told investigators they believed Alissa was suffering some type of mental illness, including delusions. Relatives described times when Alissa told them people were following or chasing him, which they said may have contributed to

the violence, the official said. The official was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.

The attack sent terrorized shoppers and employees scrambling for cover. It was the nation’s deadliest mass shooting since a 2019 assault on a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, where a gunman killed 22 people in a rampage that police said targeted Mexicans.

SWAT officers carrying ballistic shields slowly approached the King Soopers store while others escorted frightened people away from the building, which had some of its windows shattered. Customers and employees fled through a back loading dock to safety. Others took refuge in nearby shops.

Multiple 911 calls paint a picture of a chaotic, terrifying scene, according to the affidavit.

One caller said the suspect opened fire out the window of his vehicle. Others called to say they were hiding inside the store as the gunman fired on customers. Witnesses described the shooter as having a black AR-15-style gun and wearing blue jeans and maybe body armor.

By the time he was in custody, Alissa had been struck by a bullet that passed through his leg, the affidavit said. He had removed most of his clothing and was dressed only in shorts. Inside the store, he had left

But friends say behind the motorcycle and leather jacket, he was one of the sweetest young men you will ever meet.

“I think behind the leather jacket and the roughness, was really, a really sweet young man,” said Rose Lupinacci, an assistant principal at Fairview High School, where Stong graduated in 2019.

Stong worked at the King Soopers supermarket in Boulder and was frequently seen in the self-checkout line.

“He would always make a point to say hi,” said Lupinacci. “A lot of times, students may not want to see their assistant principal outside of school, but Denny made a

olice have identified the 10 victims who died after a gunman went on a shooting rampage in a crowded supermarket in Boulder, Colorado. The victims include three employees at the King Soopers grocery and a 51-year-old police officer who responded to the scene of the attack.

The 21-year-old suspect was taken into custody Monday and has been charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder. Police said the suspect was injured by gunfire and hospitalized in stable condition.

President Joe Biden extended his condolences to the families of

the victims. “Ten lives have been lost and more families have been shattered by gun violence in the state of Colorado,” Mr. Biden said Tuesday.

Here’s what we know about the victims of the mass shooting: ERIC TALLEY, 51 Talley, an 11-year veteran with the Boulder Police Department, rushed to the scene of the shooting at the grocery store, where he was fatally shot.

Talley was a father of seven and loved his community, Boulder Police Chief Maris Herold said in a news conference. Herold called

shooting.

“I believe he had a knife that he had on him to cut the assailant, and that’s why he was bleeding,” said his friend Logan Smith. “He’s a hero.”

An affidavit also said the suspect, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, had been struck by a bullet that passed through his leg.

Lupinacci said reports of Stong trying to stop the gunman are exactly what she’d expect from him.

“Denny would be the kid that would go… he wouldn’t run away from shots. He’d go toward them.

And he’d try to take out the guy, or God, yes, he would try to help people,” Lupinacci said.

his efforts at the shooting “heroic” and said, “he’s everything that policing deserves and needs.”

His sister, Kirstin, remembered her brother on Twitter: “My heart is broken. I cannot explain how beautiful he was and what a devastating loss this is to so many.

Fly high, my sweet brother. You always wanted to be a pilot (damn color blindness). Soar.”

At 40, Talley quit his computing job and joined the Boulder Police Department. “He felt a higher calling,” Herold said. He’s remembered as a cop who saved lives, including a mother duck and her ducklings trapped in a drainage ditch.

After Talley’s death, residents and first responders lined the streets in Boulder for the procession of his body. Others in the community paid their respects with a makeshift memorial, bringing flowers and signs to his car outside of the Boulder Police Department.

President Joe Biden praised Talley’s courage in a speech at the White House on Tuesday.

“You know when he pinned on that badge yesterday morning, he didn’t know what the day would bring,” Mr. Biden said. “He thought he’d be coming home to his family and his seven children.

When the moment to act came, Officer Talley did not hesitate in his duty, making the ultimate sacrifice in his effort to save lives.

That’s the definition of an American hero.”

RIKKI OLDS, 25 Olds, who worked as a manager at the King Soopers grocery, was remembered by her family as a loving, hard-working person who was “truly one of a kind.” Her uncle, Robert, issued a statement Tuesday saying “no one could replace the happiness” she brought her family.

“Our family is suffering a great loss, and we will get through this together one day at a time,” he said in a statement. “On behalf of our family, thank you for honoring Rikki’s legacy and the light she was in this world. Our hearts go out to the other victims’ families who are going through the same grief we are.”

Olds was dedicated to her career, Robert said, and she “strived to be the best manager she could be to her work family.”

KEVIN MAHONEY, 61 Mahoney’s daughter, Erika, mourned her father on Twitter, saying he “represented all things love.”

“I’m so thankful he could walk me down the aisle last summer,” she wrote Tuesday. “I am now pregnant. I know he wants me to be strong for his granddaughter. I love you forever Dad. You are always with me.”

LYNN MURRAY, 62 Murray, a retired mother of two and an Instacart employee, was working when she was killed at the grocery store. The company’s founder and CEO, Apoorva Mehta, sent condolences to Murray’s family.

ing happened and immediately thought of Stong, hoping he wasn’t hurt.

“I heard the shots because I was in the parking lot,” she said.

“The very first face that came to my mind was his face, and I was like, ‘Oh God, no, I really hope it’s not him.’”

The 20-year-old Stong was the youngest of 10 people killed in the shooting.

An avid model plane builder and an active member of the Boulder Aeromodeling Society, Stong’s ultimate goal was to become a pilot, according to friends.

“We at the club are shocked and deeply saddened to learn of his passing as well as all of the innocent individuals who perished yesterday,” BAS President Aidan Sesnic said. “It’s shocking to see events like this so close to home.” forcement and the King Soopers team to assist in any way we can,” Mehta said. “We’ve reached out to the shopper’s family to offer our support and resources during this unimaginably difficult time.”

Hope Cotten, a family friend of Murray, told CBS Evening News about the last time she saw Murray, just minutes before the shooting started. They were laughing about “cauliflower and whatever else” before she exited the store.

When her little sister called her about the shooting, she realized Murray was still inside.

“I just want Lynn’s legacy to not be this moment, none of these people,” said Cotten.

DENNY STONG, 20 Stong was paying for his lunch when the shooting broke out, his friend, Dean Schiller, told CBS News. Schiller was live streaming from inside the grocery store and didn’t know his friend would be among the victims.

At 20, Stong was the youngest victim of the shooting.

“He was a really smart kid,” Schiller said. “He was trying to be an airline pilot who wanted to be a commercial airline pilot - that was his dream.”

TERI LEIKER, 51 Leiker worked at the King Soopers grocery store for 31 years before her death. She was an avid sports fan and enjoyed being with University of Colorado fans at sporting events.

A friend told CBS Denver she was one of the “most innocent, caring and loving” individuals they’d ever met.

Leiker was also a member of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, who expressed heartbreak over her loss.

“As the union for the brave Colorado grocery workers caught in the crossfire of this tragic shooting, UFCW is heartbroken and our prayers are with our members, their families, and the loved ones of all the victims,” a representative for United Food and Commercial Workers Union stated Tuesday.

TRALONA BARTKOWIAK, 49 Bartkowiak moved to Colorado over a decade ago to manage her family’s company. Her friends and family remembered her as a gifted artist who always had a smile on her face.

“Every time you saw her, she had a smile on her face,” her cousin, David, told CBS Los Angeles. “I don’t think I ever saw her angry.”

David said she grew up with him in Southern California, where she helped raise him. “It’s just really sad that she’s gone,” David said. “It’s unbelievable. She had the biggest heart. She’s the most loving person I’ve ever met in my life, and it’s just so devastating.”

After learning her car was parked at the scene of the shooting, he watched hours of news coverage for updates on his cousin.

He later found out about her death from Bartkowiak’s mother.

But late that night, David received a phone call from her mother, who told him about her death.

“She was the backbone of this family,” he said. “She’s the back-

THE LOWRY COLUMN

COVID Relief Bill: Bad Policy, Bad Faith

RICH LOWRY | COLUMNIST

RICH LOWRY | Courtesy photo.

Both the Congressional Budget Office and Goldman Sachs are projecting rapid economic growth in 2021. As states open back up, nearly 20% of the U.S. population has received at least one vaccination shot.

This isn’t to say that all is well.

There is an estimated $420 billion hole in the economy, although, as even center-left critics of the bill have noted, you don’t need a $1.9 trillion bill to fill it.

The latest bout of spending is spread around willy-nilly on Democratic priorities and constituencies.

Take public education, where Democratic-allied teacher unions dominate. It’s not clear why any additional spending is necessary, given that tens of billions of education funding from prior COVID relief bills are still unspent, even as many districts have already begun to reopen for in-person instruction.

Nonetheless, the bill spends roughly another $130 billion on K-12 education, which will be spread out over years. The CBO projects more spending for elementary and secondary education will occur in fiscal year 2026 than this fiscal year.

The $350 billion in aid to states and localities comes despite state and local tax revenue being down only a tick through much of 2020 compared with the year before.

According to widely cited Moody’s economist Mark Zandi, the state and local funding gap will be roughly $60 billion through fiscal 2022. Still, states and localities

J

oe Biden has signed what may well end up being the biggest accomplishment of his presidency, an enormous $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill.

With his other priorities likely to molder in the Senate, the spending will probably stand as a signature statement of Biden’s approach to governance -- and it should be a damning one.

The legislation is a misnomer; it is neither a COVID nor a relief bill.

Only a tiny portion of the spending in the bill goes toward vaccinations and other priories directly related to the pandemic.

Much of the rest of the spending is not well-suited, or even designed, to respond to current economic conditions, which are increasingly favorable.

Democrats are telling themselves that it’s like 1933, when we were in the midst of a depression, whereas it’s more like 1983, when we were coming out of a punishing recession.

Or to put it another way, the Biden bill is reacting to the wrong spring. It is no longer the cataclysmic spring of 2020, with the economy shuttered and nothing to fight the virus except social distancing and masks, but the much more hopeful spring of 2021, with the economy opening back up, COVID cases steeply declining and vaccinations ramping up massively.

Jobless claims have decreased, and personal incomes are higher than when the pandemic started.

will be showered with money, after more than $500 billion in aid to states and localities last year.

The bill spends $86 billion bailing out union-negotiated multi-employer pension plans.

Transportation gets tens of billions of new spending, which by its nature doesn’t happen quickly, and more than $30 billion goes to expanding Obamacare, a long-term Democratic policy goal.

It’s doubtful that the checks of $1,400 to individuals are necessary; it is more supply -- i.e., businesses being closed or supply chains disrupted -- than demand that is hampering the economy now.

The continued elevated unemployment payments make unemployment more lucrative than employment for many people, and will discourage a return to work at the margins.

For all that, the bill is popular.

From where Biden sits, why not spend as much as possible under the rubric of “COVID relief ”? To paraphrase Rahm Emanuel, a pandemic is a terrible thing to waste.

Assuming the bill doesn’t cause some disastrous unintended consequence, it will allow Biden to take credit for a roaring economic recovery that is already building.

This might be shrewd politics, but it is not evidence-based or bipartisan governance. It’s getting while the getting is good, and assuming that no one will notice.

THE FRANKEN COLUMN

Presidential Cliches BOB FRANKEN | COLUMNIST

H

ow is the first hundred days of a presidency like Valentine’s Day? Valentine’s is a Hallmark concoction; the first hundred days is a news concoction -- a reason for papers, magazines, broadcasters, narrowcasters, social media and anti-social media to ramp up entire sections of their papers and fill the screen with graphics and analyses that have catchy titles like “Biden His Time -- 100 Days.”

It’s arbitrary, particularly since, to quote then Vice President Joe Biden whispering in President Barack Obama’s ear as he signed health care reform into law, a “big f***ing deal” has taken place in half that time. At 50-ish days, the Biden team has successfully passed through Congress a nearly $2 trillion pandemic rescue plan called, cleverly enough, the American Rescue Plan, with almost no Republican support.

Expect a nonstop victory lap.

In fact, it has already started. The legislation became law a day early when the legal scutwork went faster than expected, so President Biden signed it right away. “We want to move as fast as possible,” said chief of staff Ron Klain.

Then it was on to the nationwide TV speech in prime time. Was it gloating when he promised to have enough vaccine available for every arm in America by May 1?

Not IN everybody’s arm, that will take a lot of time. But still, by July 4 we should be on our way, said the president, to “not only mark our

independence as a nation, but we begin to mark our independence from this virus.” The keyword here is “begin.”

That was not to say that they skipped the White House celebration with every Democrat in the world present. That may be a slight exaggeration, but the way it laid out, after the bill was signed, it got not one, not two, but three televised news hits. That was not counting the Sunday talk shows and, the following week, a bunch of as many photogenic events across the country as President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris can cram in before people get tired of hearing about COVID relief.

Lost in all this is the fact that the key vaccines to all this had been developed under a remarkable “Operation Warp Speed,” which was approved and pushed by the administration of President Donald Trump. He may have foolishly bungled the response, but Warp Speed was a Donald Trump production.

Still, Republicans are busy changing the subject, talking about anything but the highly popular pandemic package.

But a politician’s work is never done, and soon it will be on to the next issue, where the two sides will work on a mammoth infrastructure package. Or the one side, if bipartisanship turns out to be impossible there too. Whichever, the Biden people have been around the track a few times, so they know to take advantage of momentum.

And they also know how to stick

BOB FRANKEN | Courtesy photo. it to their opponents, reminding them that it was the tumultuous Trump administration, particularly its leader, that was singularly responsible for the half-millionplus COVID deaths in the United States. Many, if not most, of them could have been prevented by decisive action early on. Instead, we got ignorant bumbling over the warnings of experts, personified

by Dr. Anthony Fauci, who, if he was that kind of person, could say, “I told you so.”

That’s why the one-year anniversary of the World Health Organization declaring a pandemic was so somber in this country. Trump’s response was to shut down U.S. cooperation with WHO’s efforts.

Still, we in media latch on to the political cliches, like a hundred days and 50 days and, one more, a president’s “honeymoon.” That one may be valid, considering how the honeymoon with Joe Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump, lasted about one day, if that, when he picked his first fight over inauguration crowd size.

Boulder Police Chief Maris Herold identified the slain officer as Eric Talley, 51, who had been with the force since 2010. He was the first to arrive after responding to a call about shots fired and someone carrying a rifle, she said.

Homer Talley, 74, described his son as a devoted father who “knew

the Lord.” He had seven children, ages 7 to 20.

“We know where he is,” his father told The Associated Press from his ranch in central Texas. “He loved his family more than anything. He wasn’t afraid of dying. He was afraid of putting them through it.”

The other dead ranged in age from 20 to 65. They were identified as Denny Stong, 20; Neven Stanisic, 23; Rikki Olds, 25; Tralona Bartkowiak, 49; Suzanne Fountain, 59; Teri Leiker, 51; Kevin Mahoney, 61; Lynn Murray, 62; and Jodi Waters, 65.

The attack in Boulder, about 25 miles (40 kilometers) northwest of Denver and home to the University of Colorado, stunned a state that has seen several mass shootings, in-

cluding the 1999 Columbine High School massacre and the 2012 Aurora movie theater shooting.

Monday’s attack was the seventh mass killing this year in the U.S., following the March 16 shooting that left eight people dead at three Atlanta-area massage businesses, according to a database compiled by The Associated Press, USA Today and Northeastern University.

It follows a lull in mass killings during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, which had the smallest number of such attacks in eight years, according to the database, which tracks mass killings defined as four or more dead, not including the shooter.

Biden announced that flags

nationwide would be lowered in memory of the victims — an order that comes just as a previous flag-lowering proclamation expired for those killed in the Atlanta-area shootings. Together the two orders mean near-continuous national mourning for almost two weeks.

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT NEXT? County election officials are verifying the signatures submitted by recall organizers to make sure they belong to registered voters and there aren’t any dupli-

cates.

According to the most recent validation report from the Secretary of State’s office, county election officials have verified 1,188,073 of 1,454,710 signatures so far, for a validation rate of 81.6%.

Election officials must verify all the submitted signatures by April 29 — which means we should know by the end of April whether the recall election will go to the ballot. But there are a few things that need to happen before the signatures can be certified and a special election called.

If enough signatures are veri-

fied to hold a recall election, state law allows a period of time for people who signed the recall petition to remove their name if they wish. After that, there is a period for the Department of Finance and the Joint Legislative Budget Committee to estimate and review the costs of a special recall election.

Once that happens, the Secretary of State will call a special election to put the recall questions before voters. California Target Book estimates that based on the deadlines, that election would likely take place between Nov. 15 and Dec. 5.

magazines holding more than 10 bullets and its law requiring background checks to buy ammunition, decisions that the state is appealing to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez in San Diego is also considering throwing out the state’s ban on assault weapons.

Aside from the microstamping requirement, the groups object to a provision of the law that would require the state to remove three models of handguns from its ap-

proved list for every new model allowed to be sold in California starting July 1, 2022. That will continue to choke off consumers’ choice in violation of gun owners’ constitutional rights, the suit contends.

Firearms Policy Coalition president Brandon Combs, one of the plaintiffs, said “we see no chance that law enforcement will allow the government to make them follow the same rules that citizens must.”

No other U.S. state has either

the microstamping law nor the law enforcement requirement, but Gabriel said the most-populous state’s requiring technology for law enforcement should change that.

“We’re going to create a market for microstamp guns. There are 86,000 active law enforcement officers in the state of California.

Folks are going to want to sell to them, want to be able to compete in that market,” Gabriel said.

“This is technology that benefits law enforcement, that is going to

help them in their investigations.”

And at a time when shootings by police are under a new level of scrutiny, gun violence prevention advocates the Brady Campaign and its youth affiliate Team ENOUGH said the microstamps would help with investigations and provide additional transparency anytime officers fires their weapons.

Associations representing sheriffs, police chiefs and rank-andfile officers said they were reviewing the proposed legislation.

ployees in the food sector, and later enacted paid sick days protections for every employee exposed to or positive for COVID-19. From the beginning of the pandemic, the Administration has taken action to

protect and support California’s workforce, including expanding access to job-protected Paid Family Leave and workers’ compensation; more resources for critical child support services for essential employees and vul-

nerable populations; additional weekly unemployment benefits; and support for employees to isolate and quarantine outside their home. The Administration has also built a pipeline of personal protective equipment to

help workers stay safe on the job and expanded testing and health plan reimbursement for the essential workforce.

COVID-19 vaccines and there is no applicable copayment, coinsurance or deductible.

Medicare Advantage (MA): For calendar years 2020 and 2021, Medicare will pay providers directly for the COVID-19 vaccine (if they do not receive it for free) and its administration for beneficiaries enrolled in MA plans. MA plans are not responsible for paying providers to administer the vaccine to MA enrollees during this time. Like beneficiaries in Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage enrollees also pay no cost-sharing for COVID-19 vaccines.

Medicaid: State Medicaid and CHIP agencies must provide vaccine administration with no cost sharing for nearly all beneficiaries

during the public health emergency (PHE) and at least one year after it ends. Through the American Rescue Plan Act signed by President Biden on March 11, 2021, the COVID vaccine administration will be fully federally funded. The law also provides an expansion of individuals eligible for vaccine administration coverage. There will be more information provided in upcoming updates to the Medicaid toolkit at: https://www.medicaid. gov/state-resource-center/downloads/covid-19-vaccine-toolkit. pdf.

Private Plans: CMS, along with the Departments of Labor and Treasury, is requiring that most private health plans and issuers cover the COVID-19 vaccine and its administration, both in-network and out-of-network, with no cost sharing during the public health emergency (PHE). Current regulations provide that out-ofnetwork rates must be reasonable, as compared to prevailing market rates, and reference the Medicare reimbursement rates as a potential guideline for insurance companies. In light of CMS’s increased Medicare payment rates, CMS will expect commercial carriers to continue to ensure that their rates are reasonable in comparison to pre-

vailing market rates.

Uninsured: For individuals who are uninsured, providers may submit claims for reimbursement for administering the COVID-19 vaccine to individuals without insurance through the Provider Relief Fund, administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).

resents an increase from approximately $28 to $40 for the administration of single-dose vaccines, and an increase from approximately $45 to $80 for the administration of COVID-19 vaccines requiring two doses. The exact payment rate for administration of each dose of a COVID-19 vaccine will depend on the type of entity that furnishes the service and will be geographically adjusted based on where the service is furnished.

These updates to the Medicare payment rate for COVID-19 vaccine administration reflect new information about the costs involved in administering the vaccine for different types of providers and suppliers, and the additional resources necessary to ensure the vaccine is administered safely and appropriately.

CMS is updating the set of toolkits for providers, states and insurers to help the health care system swiftly administer the vaccine with these new Medicare payment rates.

These resources are designed to increase the number of providers that can administer the vaccine, ensure adequate payment for administering the vaccine to Medicare ben-
