Here are the California COVID rules changing next week NOURAN SALAHIEH, GENE KANG | CONTRIBUTED

alifornia state health authorities on Monday announced they are loosening some COVID-19 mandates next week, including ending the indoor masking requirement for vaccinated people.

The changes come as the state sees a steady decline in COVID-19 cases numbers following an omicron-driven surge that triggered a statewide return to indoor masking.

Now, though some hospitals are still over capacity, numbers are either plateauing or declining in most of the state, officials said, adding that California has also seen a 65% drop in case rates since omicron’s peak.

“Omicron has loosened its hold on California, vaccines for children under 5 are around the corner, and access to COVID-19 treatments is improving,” State Public Health Officer Dr. Tomás J. Aragón said in a statement. “With things moving in the right direction, we are making responsible modifications to COVID-19 pre-

vention measures, while also continuing to develop a longer-term action plan for the state.”

Starting Feb. 16, Californians will see these loosened COVID-19 rules: MASKING The statewide indoor masking requirement will expire after Feb. 15, moving the state back to previous guidance that mandates face coverings only for unvaccinated people in all indoor public settings, like shops, gyms, bars and movie theaters.

Masks will still be required for everyone — regardless of vaccination status — at higher risk settings like buses, subways, train stations, hospitals, homeless shelters and other congregate living areas.

Children and teachers will also still have to mask up indoors at K-12 schools. (In Los Angeles County masks are also required outdoors at schools.)

However, officials said they’re working on updating the guidance for classrooms.

any California workers will be eligible for COVID-19 supplemental sick leave under a bill signed Wednesday by Gov. Gavin Newsom that extends the paid time off through the beginning of this fall.

“Businesses cannot thrive in a world that’s failing, and that’s why sick leave is foundational.

risdictions can still opt to keep stricter mask mandates.

That’s the case for L.A. County, which is keeping its mask mandate for vaccinated people after the state drops its requirement.

The county last week laid out a plan for loosening mask requirements, and it hinges on the county hitting specific hospitalization and case numbers.

L.A. County Health Director Barbara Ferrer said the county

prefers its plan for loosening restrictions over “an arbitrary date that’s actually not tied to the conditions in the community.”

“I will say, unequivocally, that we should not be lifting a masking mandate when we’re reporting thousands and thousands of new cases every day,” Ferrer said.

“That doesn’t make sense to us.”

The statewide mask mandate had been lifted last year and reinstated in December thanks to the spread of the highly-contagious omicron variant. Meant to last just one month, officials later extended the mandate through February as the surge brought record-breaking infection numbers.

But now, the roaming herds of wild donkeys have spread.

You can see them in people’s backyards in Colton, on the UC Riverside campus and at dusk, crossing busy roads like Redlands Boulevard near the 60 Freeway, even train tracks.

Vehicle vs. donkey accidents are reported as often as once a week, and just last December, 52-year-old Jacqueline Morgan, of Moreno Valley, was killed when she used her car to try to block the corner where another car had hit a burro to prevent another collision. A third vehicle slammed into Morgan, killing her.

The explosion of warehouses and new residential buildings in the area has turned the situation much more dangerous, says John Walsh, from the Riverside County Department of Animals Services.

He explains the problem begins with well-meaning residents feeding the burros, getting them too used to humans and too close to homes, streets and sometimes ve-

Who's responsible for roadside rubbish?

Donald & Doris Silva Donald A. Silva and Doris Y. Tisdale met in Los Angeles, California in 1951 and just after two weeks of dating were engaged. On February 14, 1952, they were married.

Don finished his degree at Woodbury College and went on to start his career with Standard Oil Company. The job would take them various places throughout California and eventually to Anchorage, Alaska in 1957 when oil was discovered in Alaska at the Swanson River Oil Field.

Although the move to Alaska was supposed to be for two years, Don and Doris fell in love with the Last Frontier and stayed 30 years, raising their three children Joel, Donna, and Kelly. They both enjoyed long careers, Don with Standard Oil (which became Chevron) and Doris as a district manager with the Avon Corporation.

After retirement in 1986, they left their beloved Alaska for Hemet, California. They have spent their retirement years traveling throughout the US and abroad. At their current ages of 93 and 91, they are blessed to be healthy and continue to travel, you can’t keep these two still! Both are very active with their church, friends and family.

A True Love Story Never Ends, they will celebrate their 70th in Palm Springs with family.

ew research reveals that items in litter typically originate less than two miles from where they're found—and unless humans remove them, most of these items will never leave the environment.

For the study, researchers from the University of California, Riverside spent a month collecting trash from seven sites across the Inland Empire. They examined its composition, discerned the manufacturers of many items, and thanks to receipts, were also able to determine where the items were purchased.

Most trash items end up on streets only a short distance from where someone bought them. In other words, the majority of litter comes from local sources.

This finding could help cities prevent plastic litter that will eventually taint water and air.

"A lot of people say, 'it's not my trash,'" said Win Cowger, a UCR environmental scientist and first author on the study. "I want to dispel that notion with the evidence we have, at least here in the Inland Empire."

Some people have theorized that wind, water or other factors are responsible for moving litter through urban

areas. This study, published in the journal Environmental Research, was the first of its kind to study local litter in such close detail and identified that humans were the primary means by which it moves from sellers to streets.

To reach these conclusions, 18 undergraduate and graduate students trained

in data collection surveyed up to 3,280 feet of roadside several times a week in Riverside, Moreno Valley, Loma Linda, San Dimas and Palm Desert.

alifornia will remove the indoor mask mandate for vaccinated residents for the first time since December on February 15.

It is the sign many of us have been looking for - an easing of COVID-19 mandates as omicron numbers decline.

"I think a lot of people are feeling happy that we're in the right direction and moving things in that way, but also a lot of nervousness," UCSF Infectious Diseases Specialist Dr. Peter Chin-Hong said.

Due to those nerves, Dr. Chin-Hong thinks many will keep masks on, at least for now, and that might not be a bad thing.

The push for the state to revive the law came

amid an omicron-fueled surge of the virus that drove California’s recent record-setting spike in daily cases. Newsom and state lawmakers reached a deal on a framework late last month.

However, infections are rapidly declining across California, enough so that public health officials announced that much of the state’s indoor masking requirements would be lifted next week.

Three of the victims were found inside a car that crashed at Sunny Dunes and El Placer roads. The fourth victim was discovered in the street on Canon Dr. few blocks away.

Police investigated posts on his social media accounts that appeared to take credit for the murders, but Olvera testified in several instances he was publishing rap lyrics or "fronting" as a "wannabe gangster."

Two police officers who responded on the night of the murders also took the stand.

lated, followed by tobacco products. Correspondingly, the top producers of these items, when they were identifiable, were Philip Morris, Mars Incorporated, RJ Reynolds and Jack in the Box. Because people are responsible for the flow of items from stores onto streets, it can be tempting to blame bad behavior for litter. However, the researchers feel individuals, policy makers, and manufacturers must all work together to solve the problem.

"There has been a lot of emphasis on individual human behavior as the way to decrease rates of littering," said Andrew Gray, a UCR environmental scientist and study author. "In reality, it's just as easy or even more accurate to say that if we didn't produce the stuff in the first place, it wouldn't get into the environment."

On the local level, the researchers conclude that cities have a variety of tools to address the issue. These could include bans on items that frequently end up outside, or an increase in the frequency of street sweeping.

Bans and other preventative measures are suggested because the study also determined that cleaning up litter does not prevent it from reoccurring. Every

was in a store some years ago when I happened upon a mom with two young children in tow. They were being totally grumpy and whiny as only young kids can be, begging just to be let alone to roam the store by themselves. The mother’s young son finally blurted out, “Why can’t we?” to which his mother, in exasperation, shot back, “Because I’m bigger than you are!” End of discussion!

Mom’s rules will be followed!

There are credible reasons we have rules, regulations and laws. It reminds me of a difficult time in the Old Testament when the land was in a state of unrest and turmoil. The Israelites had turned away from God and did “what was right in their own eyes.” In the book of Judges, we find this phrase used seven times!

We’re not talking about people who chose to do wrong - they actually chose to do right. The problem was they chose for themselves what was right — and wrong. They alone made that decision. It turned out to be a recipe for disaster.

But doesn’t this sound exactly like the condition the United States is in today?! We are in a state of unrest, distress and confusion, all because we, ourselves, have decided what is right - from the president to city mayors on down. Never mind the laws - we now individually decide truth.

We will do what is right in our own eyes. As a nation, we have fallen away from God and we are in distress!

What a mess!

No person has the right to decide what is right and wrong. No preacher has that right; no church has that right, no young person, no government, no

time researchers came to survey, they also cleaned the sites up, only to find a similar volume of trash when they returned.

"There's a broken window theory some people subscribe to, that trash begets trash. However, we find even if you keep a place clean the accumulation is really consistent so other actions to prevent litter in the first place are needed," Cowger said.

To further understand how trash moves onto roadsides and how to clean it up, the researchers are planning additional studies in Long Beach, California and in Oregon. In addition, Cowger is working on a universal index of trash survey terminology to help connect this study with others like it.

One of the issues with connecting similar trash data sets is the difference in language used to describe garbage. For example, 'sachet' is the term East Asian coun-

tries use for what Americans refer to as wrappers—an item frequently represented in litter piles. Cowger's index would help unify the terms, so the worldwide causes and impacts of litter could be better understood.

Action on this issue is of critical importance. Plastic can release harmful chemicals into the surrounding soil, which can make their way into ground water and surface water. While larger plastics harm animals and decrease the aesthetic appeal of the built and natural environment, microplastics also shed from larger items as they break down. These are emerging contaminants of concern with a wide range of potential adverse effects on human health.

"There's a more systematic approach we need to take as humans to decide what gets produced, because eventually, it all gets into the environment," Gray said.

Gandhi said.

She suggests these metrics include four criteria: • ICU capacity in the region having at least 20% capacity left signaling low COVID hospitalizations • Having at least 75% total hospitalization capacity • 10/100,000 new admissions for COVID per day in a region. (50/100,000 is the metric for the flu) • Mask optional option, but clear guidance from health leaders of what masks are best Based on some of these same metrics now, Dr. Gand-

hi believes it is safe to remove the mandate.

And like when other countries changed restrictions, she thinks this mandate reversal is a reward for decisions residents made to get here.

"They said, 'We would like to tell you that the vaccines work and in a way, we're rewarding you for getting vaccinated by showing that we got through the omicron wave so much better because we had higher immunity, and thank you Californians, and here's your reward to go back to more normal life.'"

tendees will be required to check for vaccine status or negative coronavirus test results.

L.A. County also requires vaccine verification at outdoor mega events of 5,000 or more attendees, and that includes major venues like

She adds that Donkeyland has been doing an incredible job, despite no government money, to deal with the animals.

"I don’t even know how to thank them," Cheatham

tearfully said as he looks at the two green hillsides where they are setting up fencing to keep the animals from the road. "These wild donkeys are part of our heritage, and will now be able to roam in peace and out of harm’s way."

But moving the animals will take some time and legislative logistics. The animals are protected by Federal law.

Supreme Court, no gay community, no feminist has that right; God only has the right to decide what’s right and wrong. Proverbs 14:12 tells us, “There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”

A writer - Toba Beta penned this insightful writing of law: “If you violate laws of God, you’re a sinner.

If you violate laws of men, you’re a criminal. If you violate your own laws, you’re pathetic.” Kinda funny but pretty true!

In 1992, Dennis Lee Curtis was arrested for armed robbery in South Dakota.

Curtis though, apparently had scruples about his thievery - in his wallet, police found a sheet of paper on which he had written rules for himself - guidelines for his robberies.

• I will not kill anyone unless I have to.

• I will take cash and food stamps - no checks.

• I will rob only at night.

• I will not wear a mask.

• I will not rob mini-marts or 7-Eleven stores.

• If chased by a vehicle, I will not put the lives of innocent civilians on the line.

• I will rob only seven months out of the year.

But “doing what was right in his own eyes” proved to be pretty pathetic, and when Curtis stood before the judge, he was convicted by a higher set of laws.

The truth is, that without a God-centered standard for right and wrong, without any absolute plumb line, we will always be off track. We need to see how truly limited we are without the Lord on our side! With such a lack of knowledge that we have about how this world works, why would we ever think that we know better than God?

There’s a story about a national magazine that assigned a photographer to take pictures of a large forest fire. He was told a small plane would be waiting for him at the airport to fly him over the blaze. The photographer arrived at the airstrip and sure enough, there was the plane. He jumped in with his equipment and shouted, “Okay - let’s go!” The pilot, looking tense, turned the plane into the wind and soon they were high in the air, though flying erratically.

“Fly over the south side of the fire,” said the photographer, “and make several low-level passes.” “Why?” asked the nervous pilot?

“Because I’m going to take pictures!” yelled the photographer. “I’m a photographer - we take pictures.”

The stunned pilot replied, “You mean you’re not the flight instructor?” Oops!

Having a good flight instructor on board would be the ultimate security for any pilot, much the same way God’s laws provide security for our daily life!

Cecil B. DeMille once made this striking comment, “Man has made 32 million laws since the Commandments were handed down to Moses on Mount Sinai… but he has never improved on God’s law.” Just some scruples to chew on!

makes it unlawful to kill, capture or possess an undomesticated burro. Usually, not even state or local governments can take any action to manage the herds.

So just rounding them up is not an option.

But since these animals are not on Federal land, Riverside Animal Services is working on a management plan, allowing local animal control agencies to have limited management authority, including re-

moving wild donkeys from private land, if requested by the property owner, or catching them to castrate them, before re-releasing them.

But the problem will continue if drivers continue speeding on the roads that cross the donkey’s habitats, and the animals will continue to get too close to roads if people don’t stop feeding them.

The best thing to do is to let them be, says Walsh.

But if you see an animal in a situation where they can get injured, or have been, please call The Riverside County Department of Animals Services at 951-358-7387.

How will the county use $239M in federal funding? Child care, housing homeless people, infrastructure projects TOM COULTER | CONTRIBUTED

Biden-Harris Administration Will Cover Free Over-the-Counter COVID-19 Tests Through Medicare CMS.GOV | CONTRIBUTED

T

he Riverside County Board of Supervisors signed off Tuesday on a broad plan allocating the county’s initial $239 million in American Rescue Plan relief funds — though many of the funds’ precise uses, as well as how much will go to initiatives in the Coachella Valley, have yet to be determined.

Child care, non-profit aid and housing for people who are homeless are among the areas to be addressed through Riverside County’s share of the $1.9 trillion law signed by President Joe Biden in March 2021.

The plan adopted unanimously by the supervisors marks a starting point in the process, as the county has until the end of 2024 to use most of the funds, and until the end of 2026 for infrastructure projects, which are earmarked to receive the largest allocation — $82 million — of the bucket of items identified by the county.

The board initially approved the allocations in October, but the latest breakdown approved Tuesday reflected some substantial changes, such as an additional $12 million for infrastructure projects and $12 million less for county revenue backfills.

“We will continue to fine-tune those buckets as we work through the process over the course of this first allocation of ARPA funds, and then, specific allocations or expenditures are coming to the board in other ways,” Riverside County CEO Jeff Van Wagenen told the board Tuesday.

While many of the funds’ specific uses have yet to be identified, a few preliminary projects have already gained county approval. For example, in January, the board approved $5.74 million in ARPA money to assist the City of Palm Springs in acquiring a navigation center to assist individuals in need of housing.

HELP FOR EASTERN COACHELLA VALLEY? With much of the funding still on the table, a few people testified to the board Tuesday urging county officials to use the money to boost infrastructure in unincorporated areas of the eastern Coachella Valley.

Rebecca Zaragoza, a regional policy manager with the Leadership Counsel for Justice and Accountability, an organization focused on equity issues in the east valley, suggested $30 million of the ARPA funds should go to upgrade the area’s power grid

system, following several major outages, including one in late August in the North Shore area that left hundreds of residents without power for multiple days.

“Outdated and unreliable electric infrastructure has been badly damaged in the past, due to severe weather events that cause power outages for days at a time, leaving people without air conditioning, medical equipment, Internet access and even food,” Zaragoza told the board.

The outage in August, which was due to major thunderstorms in the North Shore area, resulted in roughly 1,400 residents losing power, causing the Board of Supervisors to declare a state of emergency in the area. The incident was the latest in what local activists describe as an ongoing infrastructure issue impacting other areas of the east valley, such as Thermal.

s part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s ongoing efforts to expand Americans’ access to free testing, people in either Original Medicare or Medicare Advantage will be able to get over-the-counter COVID-19 tests at no cost starting in early spring. Under the new initiative, Medicare beneficiaries will be able to access up to eight over-the-counter COVID-19 tests per month for free. Tests will be available through eligible pharmacies and other participating entities. This policy will apply to COVID-19 over-the-counter tests approved or authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is the first time that Medicare has covered an over-thecounter test at no cost to beneficiaries. There are a number of issues that have made it difficult to cover and pay for over-thecounter COVID-19 tests. However, given the importance of expanding access to testing, CMS has identified a pathway that will expand access to free over-thecounter testing for Medicare beneficiaries. This new initiative will enable payment from Medicare directly to participating pharmacies and other participating entities to allow Medicare beneficiaries to pick up tests at no cost.

CMS anticipates that this option will be available to people with Medicare in the early spring.

Until then, people with Medicare can access free tests through a number of channels established by the Biden-Harris Administra-

alifornia lawmakers’ plan to bring back COVID supplemental paid sick leave, but it won’t cover small business workers.

A bill on its way to Gov. Gavin Newsom would require large employers in California to offer workers up to 80 hours of COVID-related paid sick leave.

But there’s a catch: The bill, which the Legislature passed Monday, doesn’t apply to small employers with 25 or fewer workers. That exemption — which California’s 2021 COVID sick leave law also included — applies to more than 90% of companies in California and leaves at least 1 in 4 workers without access to the

IN ADDITION: Medicare Advantage plans may offer coverage and payment for over-the-counter COVID-19 tests as a supplemental benefit in addition to covering Medicare Part A and Part B benefits, so Medicare beneficiaries covered

AMERICAN THINKER The Inconvenient Truth About Electric Vehicles JERRY KORTH | CONTRIBUTED

America may be headed for a new type of energy crisis. While fracking technology still gives us relative energy independence, there is a distinct possibility that an electricity energy crisis awaits us. What if the demand for electricity significantly exceeds the supply over the next decade? We’d have soaring prices and rolling brownouts. That crisis could easily be triggered by the electric vehicles (EVs) Biden’s administration is pushing.

By his Executive Order and an associated Action Plan, Biden’s administration calls for 50% of all new vehicles sold in America by 2030 to be EVs. That means an additional 50 million new EVs on the road in the next nine years, all in an effort to lower Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, namely CO2.

On December 13, 2021, the administration announced its plan to spend $7.5 billion to construct 500,000 EV charging stations throughout the US. The plan’s funding comes from the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure & Jobs Act Biden signed on November 15, 2021.

Then, on January 20, President Biden signed Executive Order 13990— Executive Order on Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis. This EO includes a wide range of environmental policies including vehicle fuel economy standards. The scariest of those policies is a set of new regulations from the EPA called SAFE, which stands for The Safer Affordable Fuel Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Final Rule for Model Years 2021-2026: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalize updated Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) and greenhouse gas emissions standards for passenger cars and light trucks and establish new standards, covering model years 2021 through 2026.

FUN FACT: These standards, imposed on car manufacturers, set the minimum average fuel economy limit (i.e., 40 miles per gallon) for their entire fleet of vehicles. A gas-powered fleet alone cannot meet these standards. Instead, car companies must sell more EVs to increase their fleet-wide average fuel economy. One way is to hawk EVs as more fuel-efficient.

On the EPA-mandated sticker on new EVs, you’ll see a fuel economy designation called MPGe (Miles Per Gallon equivalent). It’s usually greater than 100, making unwary consumers believe the vehicle is several times more fuel-efficient than a comparable gas guzzler.

However, EVs are not really several times more fuel-efficient (but that’s a topic for another day).

Americans bought or

leased about 15 million new cars and light trucks in 2021 and that number is forecasted to grow to 17 million by 2030. Assuming a ramp-up in EV sales from 2.3 million in 2021 to 8.5 million in 2030 (50% of 17 million), there would be 50 million more new EVs plugged into our electrical grid.

The big question, then, is where vast amounts of so-called “clean energy” come from to charge all those EVs and what will it cost consumers.

FUN FACT: The current average price of electricity that residential consumers pay is $.14 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), although it varies from $.09 to $.23 per kWh based upon local supply and demand. Imagine if the price of electricity in your area increased by 50%. Or worse, imagine there is no electricity to heat and cool your home or…charge your brand-new EV. Most major auto manufacturers (and a few trendy new ones) are rushing to market with all-electric vehicles.

However, they are not spending billions on EV development because of consumer demand.

Instead, onerous CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) and EPA imposed GHG emission standards force them into the EV market.

The NHTSA (National Highway Transportation Safety Administration) latest proposed CAFE standards directly respond to Biden’s Executive Order 13990 and call for a whopping 8% per year increase (up from the current 1.5% per year) in average fleet fuel economy from 2024 to 2026. That’s an average increase of 12 miles per gallon above the 2021 standard. Eventually, gas-powered vehicles alone won’t be able to meet these standards, making EV’s the only real alternative.

In the next few years, Biden’s administration will allocate $5.0 billion to individual states and award another $2.5 billion to selected contractors to facilitate installing 500,000 new charging stations. Simultaneously, the administration will use various regulatory means—e.g., CAFE standards, GHG standards, and EV tax credits—to put 50 million new EVs onto the road by 2030.

Unfortunately, America won’t have the electricity needed to charge those EVs unless new and expanded fossil fuel-based power plants are built now.

The average EV consumes over 25 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electrical power to go 100 miles or 3,000 kWh to go 12,000 miles per year.

That means an additional 150 billion kWh of electricity to charge 50 million new EVs. In 2020, total U.S. retail electricity sales to end-use customers were about 3.7 trillion kWh (3,700 billion kWh). An additional 150 billion kWh would be a 4% increase in total de-

wenty-five percent of the American workforce was unemployed. Soup lines prevailed throughout the nation. Veterans of World War I, the war to end all wars, marched on Washington, D. C. demanding the pensions they were promised by the government. They were badly mistreated by the likes Douglas MacArthur. Millionaires were bankrupted by the market collapse. Grown men who were previously employed in good positions were selling apples on street corners or begging for a few cents as they held out their tin cups, awaiting the generosity of anyone with a penny to spare.

In the farmlands of the middle west, dust storms destroyed corps and laid the fields barren for years to come. The Okies (poor people from Oklahoma and the dust bowl) moved west to the sunshine of California, hoping to find some work

and keep their families from freezing from the blistery cold plains winters.

Men took to riding freight trains and setting up camps along the way - always looking for some employment to send money home to their wives and children since welfare would not help a family if an able-bodied male resided in the home, even though there was no labor for him to apply his body.

What did we do? We loved one another. We shared what meager food we had with total strangers off the streets. Why did we do that? Because we, as a nation, knew that to survive, we had to stick together - to share our shelter and kitchen tables and the warmth of our hearts. In my grandmother’s house, folks we called aunts and uncles who were no actual kind of ours. Thousands of grandmothers found a place at the table for someone less fortunate.

Because we shared and cared, we survived and went on to become the strongest

and freest country in the history of the world.

THE COVID PANDEMIC We have experienced an epidemic more violent and more killing than the notorious Flue epidemic of 1917-1918. Millions of lives have been lost. In America, the government came to our aid during the first year of the onslaught. Unemployment checks flowed into our coffers; evictions were halted. People were not thrown out into the streets. How did we react?

We have become fat and sassy. We no longer love one another. Hate pervades the population. The economy is now booming. We have inflation due to the lack of available products. Imports from China (where most of our electronic products come from) are backed up at our ports because there is a lack of stevedores to unload the ships and a shortage of truck drivers to carry the product to its intended destination. Why is that? We have grown lazy.

Instead of appreciating the help from the government,

we have become redolent and lazy and expectant of more. It is a labor market.

Jobs are begging. Instead of picking up where we left off, we want more. Selfishness leads to greed. Greed leads to envy, dissatisfaction and blame. We pick fights with anybody who disagrees with us or shares a different point of view. We have lost our sense of neighborliness.

We claim to want privacy a house for one that is suitable for a family of 10. Are crazy? We hate our leaders.

We blame everybody else for our false miseries. The blame belongs to the face in the mirror. We have lost our moral compass. I ask one question “We were better off as a people, during the Great Depression or now during the COVID era?”

I know my answer. How about you?

GUEST COMMENTARY

What do they cost you?

SUE SAVAGE | CONTRIBUTED

his speech was given Feb 8, 2022 at City Council meeting. Last night, Hemet’s City Council, City Manager and City Attorney said nothing when I finished speaking.

Here is your Hemet City Treasurer’s speech: My name is Sue Savage, I am Hemet’s City Treasurer whom the citizens of Hemet voted for and elected a year ago.

You overturned the vote of the people in March of last year and appointed the City Manager to invest Hemet citizens’ money.

Not a single City Council member has made an attempt to restore the vote of the people nor show some respect for the taxes Hemet citizens must pay.

Last January I gave four treasurer reports. One of the reports was: “ Hemet is not poor. Where is all the money coming from?”

First, A little history. Six years ago, Hemet was investigated for bankruptcy by the state of California. Then Hemet passed measure U,

taking Hemet‘s portion of sales tax from $.01 to $.02, doubling Hemet’s share of sales tax. Back then Hemet had $57 million in the bank.

Everyone talks about how poor Hemet is. Our police department stands up here meeting after meeting and begs for a raise. Our city employees have marched with picket signs begging for a raise. All of us drive on our Hemet streets and we know what they’re like.

Does a city going from $57 million then to about $155 million now sound like a poor city to you? Two years of the pandemic has left other cities complaining about no money.

Last year’s Treasurer Report asked: “where is all this money coming from? And how do we know it actually isn’t even more?”

Hemet’s City Council appointed City Manager, Chris Lopez, and Staff, Lorena Rocha, to invest Hemet taxpayer dollars. Chris Lopez and Lorena Rocha have not made a report on Hemet’s money in 11 months. Tonight, as city treasurer, again I ask: “Where are the legally required Treasurer Reports

for the last 11 months?”

The citizens of Hemet are forced by City Council to pay Hemet taxes. The taxpayers deserve a report on their money.

So, tonight, Hemet’s Treasurer is giving a “Mini-Treasurer report”.

Last year, $117,005.11 in interest was paid to Hemet citizens in January. Hemet had $107,601,742.42 million in the bank and I was investing as City Treasurer.

This year $66,505.61 in interest was paid to Hemet citizens in January. Hemet has $155,279,811.16 million in the bank. The City Manager, Chris Lopez and Finance Director, Lorena Rocha are doing the investing.

Hemet earned $50,499.50 less under Lopez/Rocha than when I was investing. Why? Because Malcolm Lilienthal, Joe Males, Russ Brown, Linda Krupa and Karlee Meyer overturned the vote of the people.

Hemet has more money in the bank, during the pandemic. This year alone, Hemet has $47,678,068.74 more in the bank. Christopher Lopez and Lorena Rocha earned half the interest

SUE SAVAGE: Hemet City Treasurer working hard for Hemet citizens. | Photo by City of Hemet. on nearly $50 million dollars more in the bank.

What is Christopher Lopez, Lorena Rocha, Malcolm Lilienthal, Karlee Meyer, Joe Males, Russ Brown, Linda Krupa and Stephen Graham costing Hemet citizens?

The $155 million Hemet citizens have in the bank could be earning 2 1/2 million dollars in annual interest. This is costing Hemet citizens $208 Thousand each month.

Let me repeat, $208,000 every month is the cost to Hemet citizens.

It would be nice if the City Council, City Manager and Finance Director could show respect and earn Hemet citizens their 2 1/2 million dollars interest on their money. Better yet, put the Treasurer back in charge and put her to work earning the interest.

KEEPING IT REAL

Putting an End to District Attorneys’ Conflict of Interest Related to Police S. E. WILLIAMS | CONTRIBUTED

O

n February 19, 2021, SB 710, the District Attorneys: Conflict of Interest legislation was introduced in the California legislature.

The bill, if successfully passed and signed into law, will require district attorneys across the state who have taken political donations from police unions, to recuse themselves from cases involving police officers or sheriff deputies—a conflict of interest that is of course, more than obvious.

However, since the bill’s introduction on February 19, 2021 it has remained stalled in the Appropriations Committee of the state As-

sembly since last August, “held in committee and under submission.” What this means is that the bill’s author and committee members want to work on or discuss the bill further and to date, the bill remains stuck in the Appropriations Committee.

A WORKING RELATIONSHIP It is understandable that district attorneys and police must work together due to the nature of their jobs. It is also understandable that prosecutors often rely on police as their primary witnesses and they work together often on a daily basis.

The problem or conflict in this regard is that district attorneys accept financial political support from unions

or associations representing police officers and sheriff deputies.

In the meantime, many fighting for criminal justice reform believe district attorneys’ reliance on such campaign support impairs their ability to be objective when it comes to cases involving police officers which often becomes even more suspect because these same unions frequently provide legal defense for officers accused of the inappropriate use of force or other illegal actions while on duty.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The primary role of the District Attorney is to protect the community he or she is elected to serve. However,

S.E. WILLIAMS | Courtesy Photo. too often we witness more protection being given to accused officers–most who do not even live in the communities where they work–by local district attorneys, than the residents of the communities these district attorneys

The organization also recommended the allocation of $9 million in ARPA funds to support wastewater and drinking water projects within eastern Coachella Valley communities, along with $10 million for a mobile home replacement, improvement and buyer-assistance program, including a specific allocation to assist in the relocation of residents of the Oasis Mobile Home Park in Thermal.

days. Early in the pandemic, the federal government was reimbursing employers for COVID sick leave, including small employers. But in September 2021, both the state law and the federal reimbursements for additional paid COVID leave lapsed.

“Both state and federal leaders are to blame here for being short-sighted and not anticipating the need for additional paid leave,” said Kristin Schumacher, senior policy analyst for California Budget and Policy Center.

California Department of Public Health guidelines say that workers who are exposed to COVID or test positive should quarantine or isolate for at least five days.

“When people don’t have paid sick days, they will work sick — and that’s a real danger,” said Jenya Cassidy, director of California Work and Family Coalition, which advocates for paid leave policies. This new bill is the product of compromise, she said, and it will wind up helping a lot of workers if it gets signed into law.

But, she said, “obviously if we’re trying to do this for public health and for the health and well-being of workers and their families, then why would anybody be exempted? Nobody should be exempted.”

In 2020, our electric power generation makeup was 40% natural gas, 19% coal, 20% nuclear, 8% wind, 7% hydro, 2% solar, and 4% other fuel sources, meaning roughly 60% of our electricity comes from fossil fuels and another 27% comes from nuclear and hydroelectric power plants. The administration doesn’t plan to build new nuclear or hydroelectric plants.

were elected to serve and protect.

Close relationships between district attorneys’ offices and the police has led criminologists, those who advocate for civil liberties, legislators, as well as families of those killed and injured by police, to call for an end to this conflict of interest.

In 1984 the California Supreme Court found in People v. Conner that a conflict of interest exists, “… whenever the circumstances of a case evidence a reasonable possibility that the DA’s office may not exercise its discretionary function in an even-handed manner. Thus, there is no need to determine

But some of those requests, such as the one for an improved grid system, may not comply with federal spending guidelines from the U.S. Department of Treasury.

Van Wagenen said the existing guidelines allow for infrastructure spending on water, sewer and broadband projects, though he noted there is federal legislation under consideration that could

tweak those rules.

Fourth District Supervisor V. Manuel Perez, whose district covers the Coachella Valley, said the federal money “may seem like a lot,” but added: “At the end of the day, it’s not enough — it’s never enough.”

He pointed to recent state funding for a Coachella Valley Water District infrastructure project in Mecca as an example of a partnership that allows regional stakeholders, such as the Coachella Valley Housing Coalition, to leverage money and bring in adequate housing to the area.

“The (federal) money only goes so far, and we have to prioritize, so I look forward to sitting down with our team and continuously sitting down with CVWD and (Imperial Irrigation District) and … all these other entities, so that we can get the most bang for our buck and help support our folks as much as possible,” Perez said.

In total, the allocations for Riverside County earmark funding for the following items:

“This employee threshold was part of finding compromise with employer organizations and legislators concerned about the economic impact of the pandemic on small businesses,” said Senate President Toni Atkins, a San Diego Democrat, in a statement.

Sen. Toni Atkins has taken at least $1.8 million from the Labor sector since she was elected to the legislature. That represents 20% of her total campaign contributions.

issues, and supply chain snafus.

Business plans have been upended with each new wave of the virus, and while companies like Amazon, Apple, Tesla and UPS have seen their stock soar during the pandemic, profit margins for many small businesses have worn thin.

Larger employers generally have more cash on hand and easier access to credit, so they might have an easier time adapting to new costs, said David Nelson, director of public policy for California Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce.

“If the exemption was not put in place for small businesses, a mandate like that likely could have been the death knell for many small businesses, especially minority small businesses,” said Nelson. He estimates that the average Asian American and Pacific Islander-owned business in California has between four and 12 employees.

But leaving small businesses out entirely wasn’t the only option lawmakers had to soften the impact.

California will have a $21 billion surplus for the coming budget year, based on the Newsom administration’s projections.

Seemingly everyone involved in California state politics has their own idea for how to spend it.

That includes small business ad-

vocates, who say the state could have reimbursed small business owners for providing additional paid sick leave to workers.

“We recognize, especially with another historic surplus in the budget, that there are ways that the administration could make this place that small business owners are in much easier,” said Bianca Blomquist, California policy director for the advocacy group Small Business Majority.

Other small business groups opposed the bill, despite the exemption for small employers.

“There’s this assumption by the progressives in the Capitol that employers are not doing their part,” and making leave available, said John Kabateck, California state director for the National Federation of Independent Businesses.

“California is rich with employee leave programs,” he said, pointing to a list of leave programs, many of which do not apply to workers exposed to COVID-19, such as time to serve on a jury, or for victims of domestic violence to file restraining orders.

Jim Relles, a florist in Sacramento, is glad the new leave requirement won’t affect his business if it’s signed into law. He’s got 19 employees and said it’s been hard to keep up with shifting requirements during the pandemic.

A new paid leave policy would

BAD FOR SMALL BUSINESS WORKERS The vast majority of businesses in California have four or fewer employees according to data from California’s Employment Development Department. Workers at smaller companies earn lower wages, on average, than employees at larger firms, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

That’s concerning because nationally, workers with household incomes under $25,000 were 3.5 times as likely to miss a week of work due to COVID-19 compared to workers with household incomes of $100,000 or more, according to analysis from the Economic Policy Institute.

GOOD FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS Small businesses have been buffeted around by closures, staffing 2.2 GW, and the largest coal-powered plants, like the Robert Sherer power plant in Georgia, can generate 3.5 GW of continuous electric power, at full capacity. But because electricity can’t be stored and, because the demand fluctuates dramatically with the weather and the time of day, power plants operate at only about 40% of their maximum output capacity, on average. Thus, a 2.2 GW plant operating at 40% capacity generates about 7.7 billion kWh of useable electricity in one year (2.2 GW x 40% x 8760 hours/year).

Wind and solar power will continue to grow but such power plants are not nearly large enough to provide the continuous power needed to meet the demand of 50 million additional EVs. For perspective, the capacity of America’s largest wind farm, Alta Wind Energy of California, is 1.5 gigawatts (GW) and the cawhether a conflict is ‘actual’ or only gives an ‘appearance’ of conflict.”

From another perspective, although current guidelines are designed to ensure that prosecutors are disqualified whenever there is a conflict of interest that would impede defendant’s right to a fair trial, there are no current guidelines in place to prevent conflicts of interests when it comes to a prosecutors’ ability to fairly investigate and prosecute a police officer who allegedly commits a crime while on duty. This remains a roadblock to justice for those abused by rogue officers, especially those in Black and Brown communities.

As noted in the draft, SB 710 “is intended to eliminate the conflict of interest between prosecutors

pacity of America’s largest solar farm, Solar Star of California, is .6 GW. Worse, they only generate electricity when the wind blows and the sun shines. Therefore, wind farms typically operate at less than 50% capacity and solar farms typically operate at only 25% of capacity A huge 1.5 GW wind farm (32,000 acres) operat-

ing at 50% capacity will generate about 6.6 billion kWh of useable electricity per year (1.5 GW x 50% x 8760 hrs./yr) and a huge .6 GW solar farm will only generate about 1.3 billion kWh per year (.6 GW x 25% x 8760).

Here’s the bottom line: There isn’t nearly enough electrical power available or in the pipeline

A CALL TO ACTION During the worst days of the COVID-19 pandemic and in the wake of the 2020 Uprising, governments, businesses, nonprofits and others were running over one another to express commitments to work toward greater equity.

WHAT OTHER COVID PROTECTIONS DO SMALL BUSINESS WORKERS HAVE? Small business employees who are exposed to COVID at work have significantly more protections than workers who get exposed or sick outside of work.

Under California’s COVID-19 workplace rules , workers who get sick due to a workplace exposure are supposed to be sent home with full pay until they’re able to return to work. If an employer offers more sick days than the minimum of three that workers are granted by state law, then they can ask workers to use those additional sick days to quarantine or recover.

Workers who are sure they were exposed to COVID outside of work don’t have the same pay protection, but they might be eligible for other programs, such as disability insurance. The state has a website to help workers figure out what sort of leave they’re eligible for based on their situation.

Cassidy, from the Work and Family Coalition, said she hopes small business owners are working paid sick leave for COVID into their budgets: “It really seems like being able to support workers should be a very basic cost of doing business.” to fuel 50 million new EVs by 2030. That would require an additional 150 billion kWh’s per year of deliverable electricity. Even the largest power plants only deliver about 8 billion kWh’s per year.

To achieve the administration’s climate change policy goals for EVs, America must build and commission about 20 large new fossil fuel-powered plants or several dozen large new wind and solar farms. That’s impossible by 2030 because large power plants take years to plan, build and bring online. Which means 2030 will either collapse the energy grid or result in a lot of cars that won’t go.

He’ll take the stage with Dr. Dre, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige.

ANALYSIS AND DATA

There's No Running From RON: 87% Agree eClosings Are Faster & Cheaper

MBA reports that 2022 will see a 30% drop in mortgage originations, driving lenders and title companies to seek ways to streamline operations and increase ROI KATIE JENSEN | CONTRIBUTED

KEY TAKEAWAYS • The study found that lenders can save up to $444 per loan and title agents up to $100 per loan with RON, producing positive ROI. • 87% of those in the study indicated that eClosing may help close more loans with the same or fewer staff.

• Some states and organizations remain vehemently opposed to RON, such as Texas-based American Association of Notaries and some notary associations in California. These organizations believe that RON hurts notaries and low-income people.

• In 2022, lenders and title companies are seeking ways to streamline operations, grow market share, remain competitive, and improve borrower experience while providing increased ROI. Notarize, the online notarization platform, announced that MarketWise Advisors, LLC released an independent study of the impact of eClose with Remote Online Notarization (RON) via Notarize. The study found that lenders can save up to $444 per loan and title agents up to $100 per loan, producing

positive return on investment (ROI) as they can be closed faster, with fewer errors and more money that can be saved than an in-person or legacy paper process.

When using RON, lenders benefit from direct time elimination, transactional quality improvement, and direct costs associated with mail, printing, shipping — as well as reduced risk of lost documents. Lenders and title agents agree they can close loans faster and with fewer people involved while improving overall loan quality by reducing critical errors, avoiding missed signatures and unnecessary rework.

Full eClosed loans also reduce funding time during post-closing to the secondary market and results in an improved return on investment.

Overall, 87% of those in the study indicated that eClosing may help close more loans with the same or fewer staff. Lenders doing hybrid eClosings experienced a 99 minute reduction. Lenders who leverage online notarization for a full eClosing saw a reduction of 157 minutes per transaction.

Title agents saved up to 104 minutes on their part and experienced improved lender communi-

cation, ease, and reduced time during the closing.

Other major findings in the study was that eClosings lead to gains in operational efficiency, improved loan quality, and 31% reduction of errors.

Time is money in the mortgage industry and lenders experienced an increase in ROI across the entire eClosing life cycle, saving up to seven days in

the processing and funding cycle and decreasing the cost by $174 per loan.

Even the migration from hybrid to full eClosings provides financial and operations benefits.

Lenders who transitioned from hybrid to RON got $211.97 in total impact, a 37% uplift. Lenders transitioning from hybrid with eNote to full eClose (online notarization,

eVault, and eRegistry) realized about $444 in total impact, providing a 91% uplift. Meanwhile, title agents who transitioned to online notarization for eClosings saved about $100 due to reduced time, increased loan quality, and elimination of paper and shipping costs.

The push to use RON and eClosings came with the onset of the pandem-

ic. Title agents needed to reduce in-person visits, forcing that sector of the industry to transition into a digital framework and leave the legacy paper process behind. In May 2021, Congress passed the SECURE Notarization Act in reaction to the global crisis; however, it has yet to be-

CALIFORNIA STATE

Corcoran Global Living Announces Partnership with Gradus Capital, Inc. RISMEDIA | CONTRIBUTED

C

orcoran Global Living has announced it has acquired an ownership interest in Gradus Capital, Inc., the parent company of Innovative Title Company and HomeData Disclosure Services, Inc. Since first launching in the Reno/Lake Tahoe and the San Francisco Bay Area nearly two years ago, Corcoran Global Living has grown across California, Nevada, and Ohio. Its expansion approach has been selective and strategic in identifying and partnering with like-minded, visionary leaders in creating the collaborative culture of the company and its associated services and affiliations, the company stated.

“As we continue to deliver on our growth strategies, we look for ways to positively influence the real estate transaction experience for our associates and clients,” said Michael Mahon, CEO of Corcoran Global Living. “Our investment in a key provider of title services gives us an opportu-

nity to help evolve the real estate transaction even beyond the role of a brokerage and to create a more seamless experience.”

Gradus Capital, Inc. was founded in 2013 by Brian Hurley, former president of Stewart Title of California and a co-owner and operator of multiple California title and escrow companies.

Innovative Title Company, a Gradus Capital subsidiary, is licensed as an underwritten title company in 25 major California counties.

“I believe in the power of partnerships,” said Hurley, president of Gradus Capital and Innovative Title.

“As the real estate business works toward a future-state that better understands and models the needs of homebuyers and sellers, having strategic guidance and participation from front line brokerages and agents is key to building a long-term settlement strategy.”

According to the American Land Title Association, the title insurance industry has seen a “flurry of mergers and acquisitions” through the end of 2021 and into 2022 because of an

extremely active mortgage and real estate market, according to a recent article on bizjournals.com. Hurley confirmed that multiple parties were interested in Gradus Capital and its subsidiaries.

“I was fortunate to have many partnership options,” Hurley said. “From large settlement providers seeking to shore up scale before a cyclical shift, to proptech and fintech companies seeking points of entry to the residential real estate market, interest in Gradus Capital was unusually high.

I chose the team behind Corcoran Global Living, not only because of their impressive track record, but also because our vision for market evolution is fully aligned.”

“This partnership brings us more than a settlement service offering,” added Mahon. “With Brian, we have a partner who shares our core values, helps us facilitate a better experience for clients and associates alike, and furthers our commitment to best serve the communities we call home.”

CROSSWORD ANSWER

from C1

Festivities kick off Friday, February 11 beginning at 4 p.m. and features the raising of the flags, a proclamation reading from Cathedral City Mayor Ernesto Gutierrez, followed by live entertainment and the opening of the carnival and tequila tasting garden.

In addition to a giant Ferris wheel offering views of the entire city and surrounding area, the threeday carnival, also will feature rides, entertainment, and games for all ages, on the festival lawn in front of City Hall. Attendees will enjoy assorted crafts from a variety of artisans, a car show, and a mix of gourmet food trucks.

Guests 21 and older can enjoy the tequila garden located in Town Square Park, which features a highend cocktail experience, tequila tasting, and voting for the inaugural Taste of Jalisco Gold Medal Tequila Awards. A highlight of the weekend will be entertainment from the Jalisco Community Stage featuring local and regional musical groups and live acts celebrating Mexican art and culture.

“We are thrilled to sponsor the 6th Annual Taste of Jalisco Festival. The sister city relationship that Cathedral City has had for over 25 years with Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico helps us all reinforce the importance of connectivity, inclusion and cultural celebration. Agua Caliente Casino Cathedral City is proud to be part of the festival and this community,” shares Michael Facenda, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Agua Caliente Casino Cathedral City.

Headlining the festival is Ballet Folklorico de Los Angeles (BFLA) and Mariachi Garibaldi de Jaime Cuéllar with a special performance of “Mexico Lindo.” These two professional ensembles teamed up in 2017 to recreate “Tale as Old as Time” from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast and BFLA also received international acclaim for their 90th Annual Academy Awards performance for Disney’s Pixar movie, Coco. “Mexico Lindo” is a glorious musical journey that tells the stories

SUPER BOWL from C1 ters, but also at festivals like Taste of Jalisco. So far this year they have tours scheduled in North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Arizona, Idaho, Oregon, and throughout California.

Mexico Lindo is a show that features music and dance from various regions throughout Mexico. Each region has its own unique music and costumes. Audiences will delight in the variety embodied by this show. All the songs performed in this program will be very familiar to those who have grown up in a Mexican household.

There are segments in the show where Mariachi Garibaldi de Jaime Cuellar performs alone, in tribute to famous Mexican singers such as Vicente Fernandez, who passed in December, and Pedro Infante.

“Sister cities are so important as they bring the element of Cultural Exchange to the attention of both communities, in this case Cathedral City and Jalisco. Through this lens, attendees can sample the food, crafts, dance and music of a culture that may already be beloved to them, or for some attendees be the first opportunity to explore,” stated Liebowitz.

Event hours are Friday from 4 to 11 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Taste of Jalisco Festival is sponsored by the City of Cathedral City; Agua Caliente Casinos; Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP; and Entravision. Festivities take place in downtown Cathedral City, at 68600 East Palm Canyon Drive and parking is free. For more information about the Taste of Jalisco Festival, visit tasteofjalisco.com.

come law. Until it does so, states have been choosing whether or not to allow this implementation.

THE OPPOSITION Some states, or mainly the notarization organizations in those states, remain vehemently opposed to RON, such as Texas-based American Association of Notaries and some notary associations in California. These organizations believe that RON hurts notaries and the public.

Notary public Matt Miller, for instance, is the head of Oppose AB 199 — an organization that opposes RON legislation nationwide, but especially within his home state of California. Miller contends that online notarization is not secure, and it opens the door to notary signings done under duress. He also points out cases of online fraud that compromises people’s personal information.

“A lot of people don’t understand that these platforms…they don’t have their own server farms, nor do they host their own data,” Miller said. “All that video, all that journal data, all of those documents are then

They were looking for an agent and gave Liebowitz a call a few months later.

Mariachi Garibaldi de Jaime Cuellar is their partner organization, and so they both joined her roster at the same time.

Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Blige and Lamar join a list of celebrated entertainers who have played during Super Bowl halftime shows, including Beyoncé, Madonna, Coldplay, Katy Perry, U2, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson,

Jennifer Lopez, Shakira and most recently, The Weeknd.

“I’m still thinking I’m in a dream because I can’t believe that they will let a real hip-hop artist grace the stage in an NFL Super Bowl,” he said. “We’re just going to wait for that moment and put something together that’s spectacular, and do what we’re known for doing and add on to the legacy.”

pushed out to Amazon Web Services.”

Miller also points out that RON has an adverse economic impact on notaries and low-income people. He contends that it's unfair to local notaries, who often work part time for low fees, because now notaries can compete across state lines. It also hurts members of the public who do not have access to computers or cannot afford the RON platform fees.

“The consumers in the world aren’t as tech savvy as we take them for,” Miller said. “And most notaries tell me that you have to walk someone through how to use their webcam for the first time.”

So far, their opposition has had little effect beyond Louisiana and California, but it may certainly grow. A number of states have yet to embrace RON and eClosings, such as Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Maine, Massachusetts., Oregon, Rhode Island, and West Virginia. The remaining states allow the use of RON closings.

According to the recently-published Q3 Mortgage Bankers Association’s

(MBA) Performance Report, the cost of originations is increasing, and with higher interest rates and low housing inventory, the MBA reports that 2022 will see a 30% drop in mortgage originations compared to last year. This is driving lenders and title companies to seek ways to streamline operations, grow market share, remain competitive, and improve borrower experience while providing increased ROI. “Consumer expectations have shifted to digital-first, and that’s an incredible opportunity for the lender and title industries to be at the forefront of both what consumers want and what is also most financially and operationally efficient,” said Terri Davis, general manager of real estate at Notarize. “eClose is the final frontier of real estate, and we’re seeing the incredible ROI, both in the numbers and in consumer feedback, of those who fully embrace eClosing mortgages with online notarization. Wherever an organization is on their journey to go digital, Notarize is the partner to achieve your goals and provide a smooth path towards success, savings and efficiencies.”

Soboba Tribal Preschool Adds Innovation to Classrooms SOBOBA BAND OF LUISEÑO INDIANS | CONTRIBUTED

W

hen Bridget Lowe was asked to research curricula that could better serve the students at Soboba Tribal Preschool, she was happy to find one that coincided well with the new “Smart Boards” that had been installed in each of the classrooms.

Lowe is in her fifth year of teaching at Noli Indian School and currently teaches math, which has always been her passion.

Noli’s principal, Donovan Post who is also serving as director of the preschool, selected Lowe to be the Curriculum Coordinator at both sites to provide extra support in that area.

“I lead the selection process, adoption and implementation of new curricula,” she said. “I support teachers in the use of curricula and related classroom programs.”

In the simplest terms, curriculum (singular for curricula) is a description of what, why, how and how well students should learn in a systematic and intentional way. The curriculum is not an end in itself but

rather a means to fostering quality learning.

Lowe said the kindergartners are using Benchmark Advance, while the other classes are using levels of Ready to Advance appropriate to their grades/ages.

Ready to Advance integrates language arts, mathematics, social studies and science into a rigorous, cohesive academic program.

In kindergarten, Eureka Math has been adopted for mathematics.

The “top-notch curricula from Benchmark Education” is the one that has been chosen for the preschool and the staff there couldn’t be happier. To meet the demands of the Common Core State Standards, new curricula was necessary, and this one seems to be a good fit for students and teachers.

“Previously, teachers were creating their own units of study,” Lowe said.

“Benchmark Education is a leading publisher of English-Language Arts curricula. Their programs run up to grade 6.”

Locally, this curricula is being used by Hemet Unified School District in grades TK-5 and in Murrieta Valley Unified School

Teacher Sierra Vivanco and kindergartner Thomas Velasquez discuss one of the features of the interactive whiteboard used in their classroom.

District for grades 2-5.

Lowe said among the many deciding factors in choosing Benchmark Education were the rich text experiences, close reading, interventional options and digital components. There are authentic literature selections included from many cultures, including Indigenous peoples. The language learning is a separate subject being taught by teachers from their own planned units of study. This is typical as world languages

are not a component of the standards for English-Language Arts.

Although the teachers and students have enjoyed working with the new curriculum in conjunction with the newly installed Smart Boards, there has been a little bit of a learning curve.

“A learning curve is always expected with a largescale change,” Lowe said.

“The teachers and classroom aides have been enthusiastically using the new

Pre-K teacher Amanda Vallin shows many different ways the curriculum about the letter B can be reinforced using the interactive whiteboard.

program, and that really helps the students adapt.

The students see their excitement, and it gets them excited, too.”

Benchmark Education president Tom Reycraft said, “Proven time and again in field research, our programs help boost reading proficiency under the new state standards. Since our inception in 1998, our mission has remained to provide classroom-tested solutions that help educators differentiate instruc-

tion and enable every student to achieve success.”

“I have prior work experience as a training coach for several curriculum companies; Benchmark happens to be one of them,” Lowe said. “I was able to use my own expertise to provide professional development for the teachers and classroom aides.”

Since 2019, Lowe has also been the Google Coordinator at Noli and took on that same position at the preschool since she began working with Post at that site about two years ago.

“The position began as the Google administrator and has grown into other instructional technology support, including Clever single sign platform at the preschool and Smart Board support at both sites,” Lowe said.

State-of-the-art interactive whiteboards were installed at the preschool at the start of the current school year. A lot of work happened behind the scenes last summer to get ready for students to return to in-person learning.

An interactive whiteboard is just as it sounds:

California will reward volunteering college students with aid — but spend half the money on overhead MIKHAIL ZINSHTEYN | CONTRIBUTED

A

new California volunteer financial aid program for college students is using less than half of its budgeted money on actual student aid.

Should this money support an expensive volunteer program or go to students directly?

A new California program to financially reward college students for volunteering has drawn national attention — but less than half of its budgeted money is going to actual student aid.

The California Volunteers College Corps program, backed by $159 million in mostly state money, promises to award up to $10,000 to 6,668 low-in-

The California Volunteers College Corps program, backed by $159 million in mostly state money, promises to award up to $10,000 to 6,668 low-income students who volunteer in K-12 education, on climate action or to reduce food insecurity. | Contributed Photo.

come students who volunteer in K-12 education, on climate action or to reduce food insecurity.

That only works out to $66.7 million for students, though. So where is the other $92 million going?

Mostly it’s going to hiring and administrative costs despite no guarantee the program will continue past 2024. Some experts think that money split makes sense because students could benefit

from training and there’s a chance the program would get additional funding in the future. Other experts think the money should go directly to students, so fewer of them will have to work on top of their other responsibilities.

“I think this is a classic question of is it better to give a person a fish or teach them how to fish,” said Nora Silver, a professor who studies nonprofits at UC Berkeley’s business school and herself led a volunteer program.

To her, the program does both: It gives students money directly and includes a lot of programming to train students and connect what they learned as volunteers to the job market.

Nor does she find the

total costs of the program out of whack. The budget details to build out the network of colleges and nonprofits — including career, academic and financial aid advising for student volunteers — are “necessary to offer a well-functioning program,” said Silver.

RELATED: The flipside of that argument is to just give out the fish — or cash — directly to students. That’s what Robert Shireman would have preferred. He’s a higher-education director at the nonprofit Century Foundation and had a senior position overseeing higher-education policy in the Obama administration.

“I would have plowed the money directly into financial aid based on need

and not a new temporary service program,” said Shireman, who noted that many low-income students already work to afford college.

The program is set to last two years, though Gov. Gavin Newsom suggested at a Jan. 18 press event that he’d ask the Legislature to expand the program “if this thing works.” Part of the money will go toward an external evaluation of the program.

Silver thinks the goal is expansion. The program reminds her of the early days of AmeriCorps, the federal volunteer service created in the 1990s. “I don’t think anybody’s going into this saying this is a two-year program,” she said.

a digital whiteboard with interactive enhancements.

Lowe said teachers and students are really enjoying this new technology and all the opportunities it provides to the learning environment. Students can use it for a drag-and-drop activity to practice sorting words by vowel sounds or read along in their books as the words are highlighted on the large monitor in front of them.

Teachers can lead their class in a real-time creation of a graph or use the interactive whiteboard in a collaboration meeting to analyze data and record ideas.

“The possibilities really are endless,” Lowe said. Teachers continue to learn alongside their students who are always finding creative and exciting ways to use the new technology.

WHERE DOES THE MAJORITY OF THE MONEY GO? Almost all of that $92 million that’s not going directly to students is meant for program costs, according to a budget CalMatters received from California Volunteers, the state office running the program. Forty-five colleges and universities — nearly all public — will share the money.

Of that, $77 million is for a whole array of operations work to build up the volunteer program. That includes money for the colleges whose students will be in this program to develop their local programs and partner with the nonprofits where students will work.

Costs include: • hiring consultants and staff, acquiring extra office space and IT equipment; • recruiting the actual student volunteers and funding the nonprofits where they’ll do their volunteer work; • providing students career and academic advice plus training events; • and an external evaluator, who’ll be hired at a later

“It makes our job a little easier,” Ana Garcia said.

Teaching the three-year-old classes, she said the Benchmark curriculum makes it easier to present the material to her students. Having the interactive whiteboard allows her to access materials in front of the students instead of having to go to a computer to do so. Lessons can be adapted creatively to meet the needs of all the students.

“Because I’ve always taught ages 3 to 5, I look at the 3s as a ‘tween’ because they still want to be little but also want to be more independent. They are so fun,” Garcia said.

Melissa Arviso, who team teaches with Garcia, said the new whiteboard gets the children’s attention more.

Everything is linked to the computer so they can read along with their lap books as well as count and recite colors and other lessons

that appear on the 85-inch screen. Their morning class has 20 students and the afternoon session has 12.

Post said when he took over as preschool director he assessed what was needed to enable staff to do their jobs in the best way to benefit the students. Because technology plays such a big role in the life of children these days, it was an easy transition for them to get used to having such interaction in their classrooms.

Amanda Vallin is the Pre-K teacher and she likes the new tools because she can add things into the lesson since the boards are connected directly to the internet. If they are learning about bears, she can show a video about them to reinforce the topic, for instance. She can also use her computer to add interactive games that expand on what is already available in the curriculum.

date, to assess the volunteer program.

Another $15 million is reserved for California Volunteers personnel.

Not only is the program a way for students to give back to their community but it’s also an opportunity that allows students to be “learning about a career and also earning while learning that career,” said California Community Colleges Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley.

But a state program for connecting students to careers already exists. Last year’s state budget injected $200 million into a new work-study program for college students, with $300 million more planned for this year.

fulfill their hours, they’ll be paid as if they’re campus employees through their college or university’s payroll system. Even if students don’t volunteer the full 450 hours, they’ll receive a prorated amount of the initial $7,000. But to receive the final $3,000, students will need to complete the full 450 hours of service.

Unlike the federal AmeriCorps, undocumented students may participate in the California volunteer program. State officials want 20% of the volunteers to be undocumented students who receive state financial aid. They’re eligible for the same $10,000 available to other students, but their pot will come from state dollars only, while federal funds will cover a portion of $3,000 other students will be awarded.

But all that extra money may create a headache for some volunteers. The $7,000 volunteers work toward counts as income, which may “impact a stu-

HOW WILL STUDENTS GET MONEY AND WHEN? Student participants will begin volunteering through the program fall of 2022.

Upon completing 450 hours during the academic year, each will get $10,000.

The money is split up into two buckets — $7,000 paid out regularly and a final lump sum of $3,000 after a year of service. As students

Kindergarten teacher Sierra Vivanco said the board is super useful and the touch screen capabilities make it fun for all the students to participate. She said the Eureka Math program allows her to monitor a child’s progress to see if they are grasping the

concepts and she can present the same information with a different approach to help them understand it, if needed.

She has incorporated a writing companion that pairs up with Benchmark Education that helps children comprehend what they

are reading and this has made the lessons more engaging for the students. Another way Vivanco utilizes the new technology is with a “dot cam” (document camera) which is a small camera connected to her desk computer that can transmit images to the large monitor.

Amber Young is her classroom aide and Vivanco said they make a really good team. Young was a teacher for 20-plus years and this is Vivanco’s first year of teaching so they are learning from each other, Young said.

“We’re really thrilled to bring these opportunities to our students and are already seeing the positive impacts of these resources,” Lowe said. “We look forward to 2022 with new achievements from our students.

It is still very early in the adoption, but preliminary informal assessments are showing promising results.”

dent’s financial aid,” reads a program FAQ . Campuses are urged to work with their financial aid offices to “mitigate any impact” for students. Also, the $7,000 is taxable income, meaning taxes will be deducted each paycheck.

Only full-time students will be eligible for the service program.

The College Corps state volunteer program builds on a smaller effort California launched in 2020 , about six months into the COVID-19 pandemic.

Though that smaller effort had the goal of attracting 250 students, ultimately 199 participated, according to performance review data that Julie Goggins, a California Volunteers spokesperson, shared with CalMatters. And some — 7% — didn’t complete their full hours of service and so weren’t awarded the full amount for which they were eligible. Most students — 90% — also acquired professional development skills, according to performance review assessments. Some colleges from the pilot round are also participating in College Corps.

A BIGGER BIG PICTURE The budget for the volunteer program makes sense, but the devil’s in the details, said Alexandra Graddy-Reed, a professor who studies nonprofits at the University of Southern California. She likes that students who volunteer will receive various layers of advising. It’s another way for the colleges and the state to expose those low-income students to opportunities wealthier students often already receive through their families’ connections, Graddy-Reed said.

All those services require more personnel and hiring people is expensive, which helps explain the program costs, she said. The mix of volunteerism and various advising “sounds good to me” as a way to spend tax dollars, Graddy-Reed added. Still, she’ll want to see the specific hiring decisions colleges will make at the local level and whether most of the operational funding will be for College Corps or for general campus operations.

Campus-level contract amounts won’t be available until the summer, accord-

ing to Goggins.

Some campuses have begun advertising their programs. UC Davis and three other Sacramento-area colleges will share up to $16 million for about 1,000 student volunteers. Fresno State and Fresno City College will bring on about 120 students over two years.

Shireman, who preferred to have the money instead go directly to some of the poorest college students. pointed out that Newsom vetoed a bill last year that would have given cash awards or fully covered tuition to more than 100,000 additional college students.

Newsom and lawmakers have dramatically expanded the state financial aid program in other ways that give students aid directly, like cash and grants to fully cover tuition. But those are all ongoing programs, while the money for the volunteer program is just two years. From a publicity standpoint, it’s probably better to create a temporary program, such as College Corps, than to briefly expand access to ongoing grants only to have them disappear soon after, Shireman mused.
