Multi-convicted DUI offender charged with killing local deputy and his daughter in crash CNS | CONTRIBUTED

A

multi-convicted DUI offender accused of killing an off-duty local Riverside County sheriff 's deputy and his 19-year-old daughter in a driving-under-the-influence wreck north of San Jacinto was charged today with two counts of second-degree murder.

Scott Brandon Bales, 47, of Moreno Valley was arrested Sunday following the collision that claimed the lives of sheriff 's Corporal Daniel Jacks Jr., 45, and his daughter, Hannah Jacks, both of San Jacinto.

Along with the murder counts, Bales is charged with DUI resulting in great bodily injury and a sentence-enhancing great bodily injury allegation.

The defendant is recovering from his injuries in the sheriff 's infirmary operated by the Riverside University Health System in

Moreno Valley. He was not medically cleared to make a scheduled court appearance at the Banning Justice Center Thursday. Superior Court Judge Mark Singerton postponed Bales' arraignment to Nov. 28.

The defendant is being held on $2 million bail.

In a statement released Monday, the sheriff 's department expressed its collective sadness over the two deaths, noting that Jacks had been a deputy for 14 years.

"Corporal Jacks began his service with the department on Sept.

2, 2008," the agency said. "After graduating the (sheriff 's) academy, he was assigned to the Indio Jail. In May 2014, he was transferred to the Palm Desert Station and the following year transferred back to the Indio Jail."

Jacks attained the rank of corporal in March.

Funeral arrangements were pending. A fundraiser has been

set up to support the Jacks family during these difficult times. The fundraiser can be found at: https:// help a hero.com/c amp aig n/ corporal-daniel-jacks-daughter-hannah-jacks?b clid=IwAR2i6aSHVbbxozVtkmSunoex4N0_JSeRCvaEe63fpCxqeqqVrBd6MbpvviA According to CHP Officer Jason Montez, the collision happened just after 9 p.m. Sunday on Gilman Springs Road just east of Bridge Street.

Montez said that Bales was at the wheel of a Chevrolet Silverado with a front-seat passenger going westbound on Gilman Springs when Jacks' Honda Insight approached from the opposite direction on the two-lane corridor, where there is no barrier forming a center median, only double yellow lines.

Montez alleged that Bales' pickup "crossed over the divided highway and traveled into the

eastbound traffic lane."

The Chevy slammed head-on into the Honda, after which both vehicles came to a stop in lanes, according to the CHP spokesman.

County fire paramedics arrived a short time later and pronounced Jacks and his daughter dead at the scene.

Bales and his passenger, identified by the CHP only as a 45-year-old Moreno Valley man, were taken to the county medical center for treatment of major injuries.

"Bales was determined to be under the influence of an alcoholic beverage at the time of the crash," Montez said.

According to court records, the defendant has three prior DUI convictions -- in 2009, 2011 and 2015. The last one was a felony conviction.

Under California law, a convicted DUI offender who is aware

California recovers pandemic job losses amid economic woes ADAM BEAM | CONTRIBUTED

C

alifornia said Friday it had recovered all of the 2.7 million jobs it lost at the start of the pandemic, a moment that normally would celebrate the end of a downturn but instead was tempered by signs of a wobbly economy amid layoffs in the state’s historically strong tech industry.

The 56,700 new jobs California employers added in October was enough to push the state past the symbolic milestone, led by strong gains in the state’s health care, professional services and leisure and hospitality industries. California has now had positive job growth for 13 consecutive months.

“The pandemic was one of the largest loss of jobs that we have experienced in history,” said Sung Won Sohn, a professor of economics at Loyola Marymount University who follows California’s job market close-

ly. “The recovery was strong enough that we have regained the lost jobs and then some. So to me, this is a significant milestone.”

Despite the job gains, state officials have been warning of a possible economic recession.

Inflation remains stubbornly high, making everything more expensive. The Federal Reserve has increased a key interest rate, which has had a chilling effect on the rest of the economy. Some of Silicon Valley’s best known companies — Facebook, Lyft, Cisco, Salesforce — have announced layoffs. And California government officials announced Wednesday they are anticipating a $25 billion budget deficit next year.

“California has now fully recovered all jobs that were lost to the pandemic-induced recession, but we know this isn’t the finish line,” Newsom said in a statement.

Those competing messag-

es have made it difficult to interpret the health of the state’s economy, which if it were a separate country would be the fifth largest in the world.

California’s pandemic job recovery was notably faster than previous downturns, including the Great Recession, when it took six years for the state to recover all of its lost jobs, according to Michael Bernick, a former director of the California Employment Development Department who is now an attorney with Duane Morris.

But California has been slower to recover all of its lost jobs compared to the rest of the country.

“To some extent, we are lagging behind the U.S. economy,” Sohn said. “The tech sector used to be the workhorse of California’s economy, generating employment. And now it’s become a drag.”

Zachary Davis, who co-owns four ice cream locations and a

café in the beach town of Santa Cruz, laid off 70 of his 75 employees at the start of the pandemic. More than two years later, the shop now has 85 workers.

“Some things are better, some things are worse. Everything is different,” Davis said. “I certainly don’t feel like we’re back to where we were.”

On paper, Davis said the company sales are back to normal.

But the business looks and feels different. Some of their more experienced employees chose not to return to work — a trend that contributed to a nationwide labor shortage. It took a while to find their replacements. Now the company’s workforce is much younger, mostly college students or recent graduates.

“This was a seismic event for the world. ... It almost feels a little crass to be celebrating the fact that we’re still in business when there was tremendous loss of life,” he said. “I feel really luck and I really feel for the people

that suffered a lot more than we did.”

Employment also looks different for Jerry Irvin, who before the pandemic owned his own towing company and part of an auto body shop. The pandemic dried up his business overnight, forcing him to sell his trucks and close the body shop. He went two years without work, surviving from unemployment benefits while fearful for the future of his young daughter.

While he’s no longer a business owner, he did find another job as the forestry project coordinator for the Fresno Workforce Development Board — a job where he helps other people find work.

“I think that makes me more determined to help as many people as I can, because someone helped me,” Irvin said. “If I can express anything, it’s the fact that for everyone not to give up hope, that there is help out there.”

What Monica Roberts Gave the Trans Community ERIEL CRUZ | CONTRIBUTED

M

onica Roberts began tracking violence against the trans community in 2006, long before national organizations, governmental agencies, and, perhaps most important, the media, were paying close attention. Her award-winning blog, TransGriot, aggregated local news, police reports, and community-sourced information. Her no-frills style of reporting and her reputation as a trusted journalist and blogger in the community made her a critical resource. Tapping into a rich network of trans people on social media and tips received via email, Roberts was a go-to for trans activists across the country, particularly during a time when the media wasn’t regularly reporting on the killings of trans people or doing so in a way that honored the lives of those lost.

“Monica was making sure that not only was she cataloging these

murders, whenever there was an article that was written when the person was misgendered, she was able to write the article correctly,” said trans activist Dee Dee Waters, who was also a longtime friend of Monica. “It was really good to have her, as we tried to conquer a lot of this transphobic stuff.”

In West African culture, a griot is a tribal storyteller who acts as an advisor to leaders and serves as a living archive. For more than a decade, Monica offered that crucial service to a community that is often overlooked and mistreated. When I worked at the New York City Anti-Violence Project (AVP), part of my job was to track violence against LGBTQ people, and Monica’s blog was invaluable. She regularly broke stories that went beyond the violence that trans communities disproportionately face. As a growing movement and understanding for trans communities progressed in the aughts, so did

her coverage, with posts about trans people in politics, music, and TV and film.

As individual states act with increasing hostility to trans people—The Washington Post reported that, as of Oct. 13, more than 155 pieces of anti-trans legislation had been introduced this year alone—violence against the trans community is only going to get worse. These laws attack bodily autonomy and self-identification, as well as deny crucial medical care and have introduced harmful discussion about sexual orientation and gender identity.

Which means we need people in the world—from the mainstream media to elected officials to allies of trans and nonbinary people—to sit up, pay attention, and spread the word of the ongoing violence trans people face.

In the fall of 2020, Monica died at 56 years old. Her unexpected death, due to blood clots in her lungs, reverberated throughout the LGBTQ community. The As-

COVID RELIEF FRAUD

NEWS BRIEFS RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CA

OCTOBER JOBLESS FIGURES RELEASED FOR RIVERSIDE COUNTY Despite gains in multiple sectors, Riverside County's unemployment rate was unchanged last month, according to figures released Friday by the California Employment Development Department.

The jobless rate in October, based on preliminary EDD estimates, remained the same as September -4%.

According to figures, the October rate was roughly 2 percentage points lower than the year-ago level, when countywide unemployment stood at 6.1%, as the statewide coronavirus public health shutdowns were gradually eased.

An estimated 46,800 county residents were recorded as out of work in October, and 1,123,500 were employed, according to EDD. Coachella had the highest unemployment rate countywide last month at 9.9%, followed

by Cherry Valley at 7.5%, Mecca at 6.5%, Rancho Mirage at 6.1%, and Hemet at 5.8%.

The combined unemployment rate for River-

side and San Bernardino counties in October was 3.9%, unchanged from September, according to figures.

Bi-county data indicated that payrolls expanded by the widest margin in trade, transportation and utilities, with the bulk of the 12,200 new jobs in the shipping and warehousing space.

Additional gains were documented in the agricultural, construction, financial services, health services, information technology, manufacturing and public sectors, which altogether swelled by 16,300 positions regionwide.

Miscellaneous unclassified industries also grew by roughly 300 jobs, the EDD said.

Officials said that payrolls only declined in the leisure and hospitality sector, which shed 300 positions.

Data indicated that the statewide non-seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate in October was 3.8%.

Fugitive Couple Convicted in COVID Relief Fraud Scheme Returned to SoCal CNS | CONTRIBUTED

A

Southern California couple who fled overseas to avoid lengthy prison sentences in a large COVID-relief fraud scheme have been returned to the United States after more than a year as fugitives, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced Friday.

Richard Ayvazyan, 44, and his wife, Marietta Terabelian, 38, both former residents of Encino, were extradited by Montenegro and arrived at Los Angeles International Airport Thursday night. They are expected to appear briefly in U.S. District Court in downtown Los Angeles on Friday afternoon.n robbery and shooting at an inhabited building. Harris remains in custody pending $1 million bail, the police department stated.

Barnes was located and arrested in Ontario on Oct. 18. He was booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, home-invasion robbery, shooting at an inhabited building and conspiracy.

Barnes has been released on $200,000 bail, according to police.

In June 2021, Ayvazyan and Terabelian were convicted by a federal jury of running a conspira-

While free on bond, they are believed to have fled after cutting off their tracking bracelets on Aug. 29, 2021.

Three months later, they were sentenced in absentia.

Ayvazyan was sentenced to 17 years in prison, and Terabelian was sentenced to six years in prison. U.S. authorities later determined the couple had fled to Montenegro.

Ayvazyan and Terabelian were members of a Los Angeles-based fraud ring who engaged a scheme to fraudulently obtain more

than $20 million in Paycheck Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loan COVID-19 relief funds.

The couple used dozens of fake, stolen or synthetic identities -- including names belonging to elderly or deceased people and foreign exchange students who briefly visited the United States years ago and never returned -- to submit fraudulent applications for about 150 PPP and EIDL loans.

In support of the fraudulent loan applications, Ayvazyan and Terabelian also submitted false and fic-

titious documents to lenders and the Small Business Administration, including fake identity documents, tax documents, and payroll records.

The couple then used the fraudulently obtained funds as down payments on luxury homes in Tarzana, Glendale and Palm Desert. They also used the funds to buy gold coins, diamonds, jewelry, luxury watches, fine imported furnishings, designer handbags, clothing and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

No. 1, animal style, fries … and a Diet Coke. Then another No. 1 with, just regular, but ketchup and mustard instead of the spread and no onions and a Coke. And then a kid’s burger. Plain.

Just the meat and the bun.

But could — could you do like some pickles on the side, like a bag of pickles in a fry bag? Yes? OK, great …”

Listening to the driver of the car in front of me rattle off how they like their InN-Out in the days leading up to one of the busiest travel days of the year, I realize I’m at the literal center square of In-N-Outs: Kettleman City.

Kettleman City, an unincorporated town of 1,245, is smack dab in the middle of the drive between San Francisco and Los Angeles,

or, if you are going east or west, between San Simeon and Bakersfield.

And this time of year, the town’s population seems to double during the day, with buzzy motorists making their way throughout the state.

As hungry travelers come off Interstate 5 or pass through it on Highway 41, the signature In-N-Out arrow is most prominent on the town’s skyline of fast food offerings.

Part of the Kettleman City In-N-Out’s appeal is its key geographic positioning.

It's at 33464 Bernard Drive, on a horseshoe frontage road that passes a Wienerschnitzel, Little Caesars and Baja Fresh. Make a right at the McDonald’s, and there you’ll find a long driveway that leads to In-N-Out’s oversized parking lot, adjacent to a new Tesla charging station.

only at the first turnout off the bisecting freeways, but it’s also atop a gradual slope where you can see over the parking lot, past the chain’s signature double-crossing palm trees, and all the way down into the endless shimmering flats of the Central Valley.

On this day, just a week away from Thanksgiving, the Kettleman City In-NOut was busy and close to

capacity during the lunch rush.

The oversized parking lot was two-thirds full, and the drive-thru line snaked out onto the side streets. Those wanting to get out of their cars for a bit and stretch their legs were greeted with a line of folks out the door.

Soboba Provides Hearty Thanksgiving Meals to Area Families SOBOBA BAND OF LUISEÑO INDIANS | CONTRIBUTED

T

wo thousand families in the San Jacinto Valley are going to have a Thanksgiving feast to remember due to the generosity of the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians through its Soboba Foundation. For the fourth consecutive year, Foundation members have coordinated the event with assistance from local school district representatives and Soboba Casino Resort staff.

This collaboration provides struggling and grateful families with all they need to enjoy the holiday.

San Jacinto Unified School District was able to distribute vouchers to 800 families at its school sites as well as Betty Gibbel Regional Learning Center, St. Hyacinth Academy, San Jacinto Valley Academy and 65 for the Valley Community Pantry. Hemet Unified was able to give 1,000 families the opportunity to enjoy this generous donation and included sites in outlying areas such as Anza and Idyllwild. About 200 meal boxes were provided to various nonprofits.

On Nov. 17, close to 100 volunteers spent the afternoon distributing food to voucher holders who drove through the San Jacinto Unified School District’s main parking lot, as well as directing traffic and checking in each vehicle. All food items were delivered on pallets by the district’s nutrition services person-

nel. Each food box was filled with a 20-plus pound frozen Butterball turkey, six-pound cans of corn and green beans, cranberry sauce, four pounds of frozen mashed potatoes, stuffing mix and a three-pound can of turkey gravy. A 12-count package of fresh dinner rolls and a frozen pumpkin pie rounded out the meal fixings.

SJUSD’s Family & Community Engagement Specialist Carla Adame trains and supports the family liaisons at most of the school sites. They are the ones responsible for identifying and selecting the neediest of families to receive one of the Thanksgiving dinner donations.

“We definitely saw an increase in requests this year.

We try to be sensitive to the demographics in determining who gets served,” Adame said. “My favorite part of this event is looking inside the cars and seeing if there are kids that I can say hi too since that is who this is for.”

Each box carries an approximate value of $120 had the families purchased the items outright and Soboba Foundation Coordinator Andrew Vallejos said it was important to help out this year due to inflation affecting everyone. He said he was happy that Sysco was still able to provide a good price on everything and that the Soboba Foundation was able to come together and make this happen again this year.

“The Tribe is fortunate

to be in a position to give back at a time when there is so much uncertainty in the economy,” Soboba Tribal Council Chairman Isaiah Vivanco said. “Even now when food prices are up, we are happy that we are able to provide Thanksgiving dinners so families can enjoy this special time together and not have to worry about the cost of the meal.”

Soboba Tribal Council Vice-Chairwoman Geneva Mojado stayed busy at the pallet of pumpkin pies, making sure each roll cart that made its way down the assembly line of food items got what was needed.

After all items were placed into one large box marked with a Happy Thanksgiving sticker, other volunteers hoisted them into waiting vehicles.

“I enjoy seeing everyone come together for this event each year,” Mojado said. “We are grateful that we can help the community and students and their families are grateful, too. You can hear it in their voices when they thank us as they drive up.”

Soboba Tribal Council Secretary Monica Herrera said, “During this time of reflection as we prepare for the holiday, our Soboba family wants to provide other local families with a full meal to enjoy, despite these hard economic times.”

“It warms my heart to see all these families smiling and saying thank you as they receive their box of food,” Soboba Founda-

tion President Dondi Silvas said.

SJUSD Superintendent David Pyle volunteered to help fill the food boxes that were loaded into trunks and back seats of vehicles that drove through the District Office parking lot in two lanes.

“An incredible tradition has continued for yet another year,” Pyle said.

“The support our families receive throughout the year on behalf of Soboba is unmatched yearround and truly magnified during the holiday season. Providing over 800 Thanksgiving meals to many of our neediest families is yet another example of Soboba’s above and beyond service to the San Jacinto Unified School District. We are hopeful this tradition will continue for many years to come.”

The following day, Hemet Unified School District’s main office set up a distribution center so chosen families could drive through and receive their boxes, which were prepackaged by HUSD nutrition services employees. The Business Services department was highly involved in the entire process, including creating different signage and banners to remind families that Soboba was behind the turkey meals they were receiving.

Soboba Tribal Council Treasurer Daniel Valdez pitched in to help for a second day. “It’s great to be back again this year. I

always love contributing when I can,” he said.

Catie Stanley, who is the marketing director for Soboba Casino Resort and a Hemet-San Jacinto Chamber of Commerce board member, recruited a dozen volunteers for the first day of distribution and at least 10 for the second day at HUSD. All sported turkey drumstick headbands and special Thanksgiving tee shirts.

“As a community member myself, I love this event,” Stanley said. “It is so much fun being able to see the people we are giving back to and we get to work together with our team members.”

Soboba Casino Assistant General Manager Jason Cozart was one of those that volunteered his time both days. Also a Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians Tribal member, he enjoys being able to help out each year.

“Our doing this brings a lot of relief to families who are struggling,” he said. “Anything we can do to help is a blessing. It also gives our team a chance to work together with the Foundation, it’s a team effort.”

As the Coordinator of School, Family & Community Partnerships, Miriam Ortiz said she feels everyone at HUSD who was involved with the event helped refine the processes so things were running smoother this year.

Emily Shaw, who is HUSD’s Director of Wellness and Community Out-

reach, said, “I think the support that Soboba provides to our community is immeasurable. We are so grateful for their partnership because without them, we wouldn’t be able to do this. They always go over and beyond.”

Soboba Foundation Treasurer Julie Arrietta-Parcero said she likes the fact that they are always able to help someone else out. Foundation Secretary Antonia Briones-Venegas worked alongside Julie to keep the line of cars moving as items were placed in the vehicles, two at a time on each side of the canopy-covered pallets of food items.

“I like knowing that there will be kids that won’t go without because we are able to give them this food,” Antonia said. “To me, family gatherings for whatever reason mean a lot. I’m glad we do this.”

Another benefit to SJUSD recipients was the inclusion of a care bag that included hand sanitizer, COVID-19 test kits and other items for a safe gathering. Those items tied into a door hanger that was put in each box, reminding parents and guardians that “Attendance Matters” and the importance of keeping children home if they are sick but verifying all absences for possible follow-up by the District Nurse or school health office staff. HUSD also offered at-home COVID-19 test kits to each family as they checked in upon arrival.

About 2,000 families are wished a Happy Thanksgiving as they drive through Soboba’s turkey meal distribution events at SJUSD and HUSD on Nov. 17 and 18.

Soboba Tribal Council, Soboba Foundation and Soboba Casino Resort members join with other volunteers to provide turkeys and all the trimmings to needy families at the Hemet Unified School District’s main offices on Nov. 18.

sociation of LGBTQ Journalists (NLGJA) lauded her groundbreaking journalism, and the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) posthumously inducted her to its hall of fame. Her blog now lives on as an archive, and more digital content will be produced by Transgriot LLC under the leadership of Waters, with plans to continue additional reporting on the issues facing Black trans Americans.

The legacy she left is one of watching out for and taking care of her community, especially in moments when it seemed as if few outside of the community were listening or taking action. In one of Monica’s last posts on anti-trans violence, she documented the murder of Selena Reyes Hernandez, who was shot and killed by 18-yearold Orlando Perez after she disclosed that she was transgender to him. “She is the sixth Latinx transperson to die in 2020 and the 14th transperson this year, but I’m just now finding out about this May 31 murder because of misgendering of her by the Chicago medical examiner, Chicago PD and the Chicago media,” wrote Roberts on her blog. “Even her family went there in disrespecting her in death, choosing to bury her in her native Mexico under her deadname.”

In 2019, the American Medical Association (AMA) and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) called the killings of trans Americans an epidemic following at least 28 homicides in 2018 and 25 homicides in 2019. “According to available tracking, fatal anti-transgender violence in the U.S. is on the rise and most victims were black transgender women,” said AMA board member S.

could be even higher due to underreporting and better data collection by law enforcement is needed to create strategies that will prevent anti-transgender violence.”

Since then, homicides of trans people have doubled to historic levels of violence with limited media attention or public outcry. In 2020, there were at least 44 homicides of trans and nonbinary people, and 57 in 2021, and 33 so far through this year, according to Sue Kerr, a blogger and social worker who is one of the few individuals tracking violence against trans folks.

“When Kathryn Newhouse was killed in Georgia, nineteen, murdered by her father. And she’s AAPI, she’s autistic, and she has mental health issues. All these intersections, no one wrote about it,” Kerr said about a murder that happened March. “The one thing I’ve noticed that’s a big difference from when I was writing these in ‘14, ‘15, ‘16, is that people on the ground, usually the friends of the deceased, are all over the media.”

This was the case for 28-year-old Brazil Johnson, who was shot and killed in Milwaukee, Wis., in June. Johnson’s family and friend’s described her to a local outlet as “kind-hearted.” The family and friends of 50 year-old Nedra Sequence Morris, who was killed in May, organized a vigil on her behalf to demand justice. The friends and community of trans people, commonly known as chosen family, now serve as unofficial media spokespersons, and become advocates for their friends, or loved ones after death.

There are a handful of individuals and organizations across the country tracking the violence against trans people. The Anti-Violence Project (AVP) continues to lead a national coalition of organizations doing data collection on anti-LGBTQ

violence. TransLashMedia, led by trans media personality Imara Jones, marks each trans individual’s death on their Instagram channel. HRC also tracks anti-trans violence and releases an annual report.

Every year the constant has been an emphasis from advocates to say “at least” alongside any number about the murder of trans people—knowing that with the limited available tracking, there are names of trans people whose stories go untold.

It’s important to remember that violence against marginalized communities does not begin with murder. It starts with the acceptance, both passive and deliberate, of increasingly hateful rhetoric, which fuels legislation and emboldens people to commit acts of violence. Trans people, disproportionately Black trans women, are facing violence on the streets and from intimate partners, family, or co-workers, and from legislation that aims to dehumanize and ultimately eliminate trans people from the public space.

There’s a growing animus against trans people that manifests as violence in real life, and we must call it out for what it is.

Every year, on Nov. 20, the LGBTQ community remembers the lives of those lost for the Transgender Day of Remembrance.

This year—and every year after—Monica will be remembered as a ferocious leader who cared enough to look out for the needs of her community. She was not only taken too soon, and her absence from our movement will be felt immensely, her care and love for her community always remembered. The way to honor her legacy is for all of us to take up part of the work of documenting, amplifying, and paying attention to the attacks trans people are facing. We cannot stand by idly. We must demand justice.

t’s been said it’s not happy people who are thankful, but thankful people who are happy.

Thanksgiving celebrations are tailor-made to create happy memories. It’s not just about the great food, but also the fellowship, fun & the holiday atmosphere itself. But this year, Thanksgiving may have been a difficult year to celebrate. Most years, we pile up the food and start planning the big dinners.

But these days, I’m hearing that some folks actually had pizza for their main course. It seems inflation hit a favorite holiday.

But no matter what you dined on, I hope you made memories and loved the people you were with!

There’s a funny Thanksgiving story that appeared in the Reader’s Digest years ago that has turned into a classic! It seems the day before Thanksgiving, an elderly man in Phoenix called his son in New York and said to him, “I hate to ruin your day but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing - 45 years of misery is enough.”

“Pop, what are you talking about?” the son screams.

“We can’t stand the sight of each other any longer,” the father says. “We’re sick of each other, and I’m tired of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her.” Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone.

“Like heck they’re getting divorced,” she shouts. I’ll take care of this.”

She calls Phoenix immediately and screams at her father, “You are NOT getting divorced. Don’t do a single thing until I get there. And I’m calling my

brother back and we’ll both be there tomorrow; until then don’t do a thing - do you hear me?” and hangs up. The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. “Okay honey,.” he says, “they’re both coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own way.”

Pretty funny stuff. But the truth is, even though Thanksgiving is a fabulous time to celebrate friends & family, the holiday itself had a pretty rough start. Did you know that Thomas Jefferson was not in favor of George Washington’s push for a national Thanksgiving celebration?

Jefferson referred to the idea as “The most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard of.”

Thanksgiving didn’t become an official “date” until Lincoln signed a proclamation making it the last Thursday in November in 1863. But the Thanksgiving date wasn’t fixed, so back then presidents could decide a different date for each year. This was finally changed in 1939 when FDR signed a bill into law stating that the holiday would be celebrated on the 4th Thursday of every November.

Abraham Lincoln is the president responsible for pardoning a turkey at Thanksgiving when he pardoned his son Tad’s pet turkey.

And just one more turkey story — Americans buy more than 244 million turkeys each year for Thanksgiving. However, there are still leftover turkeys. So in 1953 Swanson came up with a clever way to use the leftover turkeys.

They sold them as part of a packaged meal that people could heat up later. We now refer to those as TV dinners.

And, just for the record,

SUSAN BECKETT | Courtesy Photo. the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is the biggest day for bar and liquor sales in the U.S., ahead of the Super Bowl or New Year’s Eve! So, what’s up with that? Too much time contemplating the relatives, or what? Who knows?

An interesting story is told of a man who found a barn where Satan kept his ‘seeds’ ready to be sown in human hearts.

He found that the seeds of discouragement were more numerous than the others and were easily grown. But when pressed, Satan reluctantly admitted that there was one place in which he could never get them to thrive. “And where is that?” asked the man. Satan replied, “In the hearts of thankful people.”

Apparently thankfulness has its payoff!

Someone once noted that it isn’t so much what’s on the table that matters, as who’s in the chairs! But above all - let’s not forget the One from who ALL blessings flow. Psalms 107 sums it up perfectly: “Give thanks to the Lord for He is good and His love endures forever?”

Happy Thanksgiving!

Why you need dental insurance in retirement.

Many Americans are fortunate to have dental coverage for their entire working life, through employer-provided benefits. When those benefits end with retirement, paying dental bills out-of-pocket can come as a shock, leading people to put off or even go without care.

Simply put — without dental insurance, there may be an important gap in your healthcare coverage.

When you’re comparing plans ...  Look for coverage that helps pay for major services. Some plans may limit the number of procedures — or pay for preventive care only.  Look for coverage with no deductibles. Some plans may require you to pay hundreds out of pocket before benefits are paid.  Shop for coverage with no annual maximum on cash benefits. Some plans have annual maximums of $1,000.

Medicare doesn’t pay for dental care.1

Previous dental work can wear out.

That’s right. As good as Medicare is, it was never meant to cover everything. That means if you want protection, you need to purchase individual insurance.

Even if you’ve had quality dental work in the past, you shouldn’t take your dental health for granted. In fact, your odds of having a dental problem only go up as you age.2

Early detection can prevent small problems from becoming expensive ones.

Treatment is expensive — especially the services people over 50 often need.

The best way to prevent large dental bills is preventive care. The American Dental Association recommends checkups twice a year.

Consider these national average costs of treatment ... $217 for a checkup ... $189 for a filling ... $1,219 for a crown.3 Unexpected bills like this can be a real burden, especially if you’re on a fixed income.

STEPPING DOWN FROM HOUSE

Pelosi, dominant figure for the ages, leaves lasting imprint CALVIN WOODWARD AND NANCY BENAC | CONTRIBUTED

T

here are two searing scenes of Nancy Pelosi confronting the violent extremism that spilled into the open late in her storied political career. In one, she’s uncharacteristically shaken in a TV interview as she recounts the brutal attack on her husband.

In the other, the House speaker rips open a package of beef jerky with her teeth during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection, while on the phone with Mike Pence, firmly instructing the Republican vice president how to stay safe from the mob that came for them both.

“Don’t let anybody know where you are,” she said.

That Pelosi, composed and in command at a time of chaos, tart but parochial-school proper at every turn, is the one whom lawmakers have obeyed,

tangled with, respected and feared for two decades.

She is the most powerful woman in American politics and one of the nation’s most consequential legislative leaders — through times of war, financial turmoil, a pandemic and an assault on democracy.

Now, at 82, in the face of political loss and personal trauma, she decided her era was ending.

Pelosi stood in the well of a rapt House on Thursday and announced she would not seek a Democratic leadership position in the Congress that convenes in January, when Republicans take control of the chamber. Pelosi, who will remain a member of the House, took her time revealing the news, looking back over an improbable career and recalling her first visit to the Capitol at age 6 with her congressman father.

“Never would I have

thought that I would go from homemaker to House speaker,” she allowed. On her future, she told reporters: “I like to dance, I like to sing.

There’s a life out there, right?”

Polarizing and combative, Pelosi nevertheless forged compromises with Republicans on historic legislation.

Across the policy spec-

trum, whether you liked the results or not, she delivered votes that touched ordinary lives in many ways. Among them: how millions get health care, the state of the roads, the lightened burden of student debt, the minimum wage, progress on climate change that took over a decade to bear fruit.

HATE! HATE! HATE! RUSTY STRAIT | SENIOR REPORTER

O

ur country has been besieged with hate crimes in the last ten years. Last night there was another one in a city with all kinds of security, including a critical United States Air Force facility. Take a look and prepare: 2012: The Dikh Gurdwara shooting in Wisconsin - the shooter, a skinhead band leader who had a history with white supremacy. It was categorized as domestic terrorism by authorities.

2013: The Boston Marathon Bombing killed three and injured 264.

Two brothers were responsible. One was killed in a gun battle with police and the other received a death sentence.

2015: The Charleston Church Massacre, the gunman author of a racist and anti-Semitic manifesto prior to the attack was convicted in December 2016 on charges of federal murder, attempted murder and hate crimes.

2016: The June 26th, 2016 shooting spree at the Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, by Omar Matee, who killed 49 people and wounded 53 more. He claimed his attack in the name of ISIS, although he had no previous connection with ISIS. 2017: White supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, by anti-semites shouting, “Jews will not replace us.”

There were scores of injuries and three deaths—a senseless attack by white supremacists.

2018: Pittsburgh synagogue shooting is the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. History. The attack at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh by an avowed White Supremacist.

2019: White supremacist shootings in El Paso, Texas that left 22 people dead and 26 injured.

2022: The most recent hate crime occurred at a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs on November 20th. The perpetrator, 22-year-old Anderson Lee Aldrich is well known for

his bad behavior by the police over a period of years.

There have been hundreds of such shootings with fewer casualties.

Families like yours and mine are losing loved ones and all we hear is how terrible it is. When will we, the people who love this country, put an end to it? These killers have all had encounters with the authorities at some time in their past and are well known. Somebody is not watching for them to strike in a larger manner, killing off more innocent people.

You say, “It couldn’t

happen in the San Jacinto Valley.” Really? Why are we so isolated from hate?

I hear hate-mongers every day in our coffee shops.

There isn’t a club owner in this valley that isn’t on edge that such a thing could and may well happen to us. What do we do then? We can’t go on forever saying it can’t happen to us. Wake up, folks - disaster could be just around the corner and it may be one of your beloved ones out having a good time at night which could be missing from your holiday dinner table.

POLITICAL BRIEF Facebook still banning Trump — for now — despite campaign DAVID KLEPPER | AP NEWS

Donald Trump may be running for president, but he still can’t use Facebook.

The social media platform has no plans to reinstate Trump’s account following the former president’s announcement that he will seek a second term in the White House, the company confirmed Wednesday. Trump was kicked off Facebook following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Trump may not have to wait long to get back on the site, however. His suspension from Facebook is set to be reconsidered in January, two years after it was first imposed.

One change will be immediate: As a candidate, Trump will no longer be subject to Facebook fact checks. That’s because under Facebook rules, comments by elected officials and candidates for office aren’t subject to fact checks on its site. The Associated Press participates in Facebook’s independent fact-checking program.

Throughout his tenure as president, Trump’s use of social media posed a significant challenge to major social media platforms trying to balance the public’s need to hear from their elected leaders with worries about misinformation, harassment and incitement of violence.

Following the Jan. 6 riot, Trump was also kicked off Snapchat, Twitter and Instagram, which is owned by Facebook parent company Meta. Trump’s ability to post videos to his YouTube channel was suspended.

YouTube spokeswoman Ivy Choi said Wednesday the company had no plans to lift the suspension.

Twitter’s new owner, Elon Musk, has said he

disagreed with the platform’s decision to bar Trump following the Jan. 6 attack. Musk said no announcement about reinstating banned users will be made until a content moderation council has reviewed the issue Twitter did not respond to questions about whether Trump’s candidacy will impact the decision. Since his suspension, Trump has started his own social media platform, TruthSocial, and said he has no plans to rejoin Twitter if allowed.

The platforms would be justified if they extend their restrictions on Trump or make them permanent, said Heidi Beirich, founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism and a member of the Real Facebook Oversight Board, a group that has criticized Meta’s response to extremist content and misinformation.

“The big problem is treating candidates as if they’re in a special category and deserve special treatment,” Beirich said.

“If you have a set of rules, it should apply to everyone.

The decision shouldn’t be a struggle.”

Facebook initially placed a 24-hour suspension on Trump’s account on Jan. 6 after he praised the rioters who stormed the Capitol. Facebook creator and CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced an indefinite suspension on Jan. 7, adding that “the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great.”

The company’s quasi-independent oversight board upheld the ban but directed Facebook to set a time limit. The ban is now set to expire Jan. 7, 2023.

OPINION

Thursday, November 24 - Wednesday, November 30, 2022

DEAR ABBY ADVICE Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

DEAR ABBY: My husband passed away two years ago. I hope you can give me some advice on how to deal with my 53-year-old daughter who never left home.

We generally get along well. She does freelance art, but doesn’t earn much. She contributes only $30 a month.

Also, she has a driving phobia, so she doesn’t drive. She expects me to drive her to various places.

She only has cyber friends. She wants to travel, but doesn’t want to go alone and keeps pushing me to go with her, although I don’t really want to. I have suggested group tours, but she hesitates to go alone. I feel pressured to keep peace and go along with her desires. How should I handle this?

- PULLING BACK IN NEVADA DEAR PULLING BACK: You have protected and enabled your daughter far too long. Tell her that her dependence on you has become too much. She must overcome her driving phobia (or at least take advantage of public transportation) and her fear of travel without you. Unless you have provided for her financially in the event of your death, how do you think she will survive living as a virtual shut-in with no employment and life skills? There are psychotherapists who specialize in ridding people of phobias. While she’s there, your daughter should also get help to gain a degree of independence, even if it’s about 30 years late.

DEAR ABBY: Recently, my three adult children chipped in to send their aunt dinner for her birthday.

She’s 79 and doesn’t need anything; she doesn’t even go out. Financially, she’s in good shape. They placed the order, and it came to $95. Well, Abby, my elderly mom went crazy! She thought that was too little to spend on their aunt.

I think my kids were very thoughtful. They are all trying to build their lives. One has two kids, a house and a mortgage. The other just got engaged and is saving for the wedding. The third is saving for her future. My mother thinks her grandchildren should give her gifts and money. I think she should expect money from her own kids, not the grandkids. I hung up on her when she attacked my children. She always thinks she’s right. Your thoughts?

- LIVING WITH A DIFFICULT MOM DEAR LIVING: Was Auntie satisfied with the meal?

Your mother may think she is always right, but she was wrong to criticize the amount your children spent on dinner for their aunt. That she would then announce she expects gifts and money from them is beyond presumptuous. The decision about what to give is up to the giver, not the recipient.

DEAR ABBY: My strongest “love language” is physical touch. For 23 years, my husband gave hugs galore to any and every woman, but never to me. The word “never” is not an exaggeration. He has recently begun to change and try to be better. Now he does hug me as much as I want. But when he hugs other women, it still feels like a knife through my heart.

He says the hugs mean nothing to him, but I question why, if they were so insignificant, he couldn’t give me even one for more than two decades? How do I get over feeling hurt when he hugs other women? Is there something wrong with my perspective on this? I’m not sure if I’m being too sensitive.

- FINALLY WORTH HUGGING DEAR FINALLY: Too sensitive? There is nothing wrong with your “perspective.” For 23 years your passive-aggressive husband chose to withhold a gesture of affection you requested, while showering other women with it. It’s “nice” that he’s finally willing to make the effort to hug you but, frankly, it seems a bit late. It may take a therapist to help work through your justified hurt and anger over this. My advice is to start now.

AMERICAN THINKER

Breaking the back of inflation requires energy policy changes

ALLAN J. FEIFER | CONTRIBUTED

M

y first blush takeaway from the mid-terms is how disaffected so many of us are. Feeling poorer through inflation is just depressing.

This includes the psychological damage felt when your loved ones are also hurting.

Our society is inarguably in steep decline with no end in sight.

But what if there was a way to immediately change such a negative outlook? I can conceive of a way to fix the most basic problem that led us to where we are today.

One which won’t have the Treasury print more worthless dollars in an attempt to make you feel better or that supports the bastards that did this to us in the first place?

What can we do that would change the current dynamic and slay the inflation monster in no more than a year or two? See the cost of oil and natural gas decline to what they were before the Biden election.

We must recognize that we are in an economic war with some very bad actors.

We’ve made some unforced errors that have now come home to roost. High oil and gas prices - high energy prices - have pulled the rug out of the American economy and our psyches in several key ways: 1. A lack of energy independence forces us into unwanted and unacceptable globalist practices 2. High energy prices translate into more government authority and power 3. Expensive energy causes, by itself, a significant slice of our inflation 4. Expensive energy prices lead to a loss of jobs at home, both from the energy production side and the manufacturing sector 5. Our nations become poorer when energy prices are high 6. There is no substitute for oil, no matter what politicians would have you believe These points are not a se-

cret, kept away from policymakers and others that pull the levers of power. So, why is it this way? Politicians and those always present Destroyers must hold your attention, making you ever fearful, dependent, and despondent so that you continue to be easy to manipulate to accept their policies and actions. Such people are your enemies.

We are kissing up to the likes of Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela, the Ayatollah Khamenei of Iran, Putin in Russia, and MBS in Saudi Arabia. These are terrible options for our democracy caused by awful policy mistakes made by Biden. Inevitably, concessions were/ are being made against our best interests. Dealing with outright enemies, or even potential enemies carries a cost that cannot honestly be quantified or verified. We are bearing our throats to some of the worst actors in the world. What good can come of that?

Wouldn’t we rather not be forced to make that Devil’s bargain in the first place?

We should be independent of foreign energy, both in peacetime and especially when we are at war. But, did you know that Biden has now drawn down half of our Strategic Petroleum Reserve to boost his favorables?

Even more threatening is the dramatic reduction of our reserve of Diesel Fuel; that is down to 25 days!

If the supply of Diesel for trucks and engines were cut off tomorrow, widespread panic would ensue in many urban environments.

Ever heard of the term Stalking Horse? The government uses energy price issues to divide us along our various fracture lines. On the Left, high energy prices work to force people into the use of “Green Energy”, already a lightning rod issue. On the Right, enforced high energy prices represent the government reordering our economy in a manner that most find unacceptable.

It does not help when President Biden tells us what he intends. On November 6th, Biden said “No more drilling and plans to shut

down coal power all across America.” Coal, oil, and gas represent 79% of our total energy use today. These are the words of a raving maniac, who believes it is better to live in the dark than maintain our place in world markets.

High energy prices dramatically affect our cost of living. Not just for gas or heating oil, but also all the derivative products like plastics, pharmaceuticals, shipping, and travel to name a very few of the tens of thousands of petroleum-based products we need to maintain our standards of living.

The path forward to much less expensive oil is an innovative, “all of the above” Marshall Plan.

1. Announce to our citizens (and the world) a Presidential Directive announcing a National Emergency on Energy. That action, plus a freeze on many existing regulations would unleash energy companies to produce more oil, natural gas, and other technologies as if we were at war and such supplies were needed for our survival. Which they are!

2. I would further subsidize new, near-term technologies such as nuclear to better help us become energy independent. Such actions should be national priorities, irrespective of your beliefs on global warming.

Take a look at Lockheed’s Skunk Works project for a truck-mounted and safe nuclear generator. Why don’t we hear more about this?

Look at how France has historically built and used nuclear power safely and at much less expense and in half the time we do.

3. Sponsor innovation through a system, not of grants, but of rewards based on meeting short, intermediate, and long-term goals that will ease our dependence on any one source of energy.

4. Guarantee our allies’ energy independence as well, so they also are not dependent on the bad actors of the world. Only through

energy independence of the free world will world tensions start to recede. Energy must no longer be a club or a bargaining chip to be used on other nations. We must position ourselves to guarantee supply. This must be a mission we must move to accomplish at light speed.

5. Our nation has the largest provable coal reserves in the world must learn how to turn coal into an acceptable fuel (for example) once again. Our Chinese enemies are still building dirty new coal plants at a rate of 2 a month, while we contemplate shutting down ours without replacing the base load energy they provide.

It’s a dangerous world out there and this is how to fix it, even if President Biden is unlikely to follow any of these policies. If there were less competition around the globe for energy supply, we might actually have less war, less suffering, and peace to give way to a better world for all. This is an aspirational goal everyone should be able to get behind.

We used to do the hard and necessary things but we seem to be unable to do them any longer. I suggest that this be our next moonshot. Let us serve the world with bountiful energy at affordable prices, while making a profit for shareholders.

There are two worlds we can live in. One that is fanciful and does not exist. The other may not be as easy, but it’s the hard decisions that make a difference and challenge us to be our best.

Which will we choose?

The fact that we have a President who won’t do any of these things is not important. We must be a nation of ideas so that we can have debates that can change minds. The marketplace of ideas will eventually win.

God Bless America!

The residents of Hemet West Mobile Part are mad as hell and they’re not going to take it anymore RUSTY STRAIT | SENIOR REPORTER

I

’ve been hearing from mobile park seniors over the past few months about rent increases. Most seem to feel a 2% per year raise is sufficient, while most have been around 5%.

The residents at Hemet West are furious. I sat down with Larry Graves, President of the Homeowners Association, a few days ago and he unloaded the tenants’ grievances about recent notices of rent increases from the LLC that owns the property, property handed down from the previous owners.

“Most of the people who live in the park have a rental agreement,” Mr. Graves explained. “I’ve been here more than

twenty years and my rent has more than doubled.”

The current lease has a 5 percent cap and that’s been the same for years because of adherence to the Riverside County Consumer Price Index. If the owners of Western States Mobile Home Park prevail, that will be no more as of January 1, 2023, according to Mr. Graves.

The owners notified us all on November 1st that we are getting a new lease for the coming year, removing the Consumer Price Index as a guide on the increase. That will up the rent and also add 10% for any capital improvements, that, plus the rent increase, adds up to 20% overall. Senior citizens can’t handle that on a fixed income. That’s bad news for all of us.

The residents have banded together and coughed up enough money to retain out of town attorney’s well experienced with mobile home laws.

In their recent meeting, it was agreed that the attorneys would be writing a letter to the owners requesting that the new lease be rescinded and to continue on as always. A class action suit seems to be the next stop if they refuse.

Graves said, “They can’t throw the whole park out into the streets” He also added that none of the tenants have signed the newly proposed agreement.

The original owners were older and more understanding than the current ones. “We loved them so much that we set aside

one day a year for Homeowner Appreciation Day.” The Home Owners Association has also approached the City of Hemet to see if there is anything they can do to help.

You can bet that every mobile park in the city has an eye on this situation and will act accordingly if the owners get their way at Hemet West. It might be smart of the Home Owners Associations at Parks in the Valley, along with their tenants to help Hemet West folks if this goes to court. Just sayin’. rustystrait@gmail.com There is also a ‘no arbitration’ clause in the newly proposed lease, which gives the owners total control of the tenants’ rights.

What Californians Are Grateful For in the Golden State SOUMYA KARLAMANGLA | CONTRIBUTOR

T

he end of the year tends to make us all a little reflective. The long, dark evenings allow time to contemplate what we’ve accomplished, where we’re headed and, especially with Thanksgiving approaching, what we’re most grateful for.

Today I’m diving into that last topic and, since this is a newsletter about California, specifically what we appreciate about the Golden State.

For months, you’ve been writing me about why you love your corner of California, despite the earthquakes, fires and other disasters we often hear about, despite the high cost of living, despite the traffic. I’ve received hundreds of lovely tributes to Montecito, Newport Beach, Mariposa, Sebastopol and

PELOSI from B1

Even former Republican Speaker Newt Gingrich, a self-described “partisan conservative who thinks that most of her positions are insane,” said Pelosi had a “remarkable” run.

This, from a fellow “troublemaker with a gavel,” as she called herself. He flamed out; she didn’t.

“Totally dominant,” Gingrich said of her in an interview. “She’s clearly one of the strongest speakers in history. She has shown enormous perseverance and discipline.”

FEW SURVIVE Those qualities are essential if you don’t want to be run out of town, as was a succession of modern Republican speakers, back to Gingrich. It’s one thing to herd sheep. It’s another thing altogether to herd Democrats and all their messy factions.

Pelosi dealt with conservative Blue Dog Democrats, the liberal women of the Squad, the Out of Iraq Caucus — not to mention old-guard legislators who treated their committees like fiefdoms.

Many of the above, at one point or another, earned her look of icy disapproval, well practiced and not always reserved just for the other side.

“Politics is tough,” she said in 2015, “but intraparty? Oh, brother.”

Squad member Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, not always Pelosi’s biggest fan, spoke Thursday of how Pelosi had “served as a beacon of hope” to her and her family when they migrated from Somalia.

Omar, at times the subject of “send her back” chants during Donald Trump’s rallies, recalled that Pelosi had invited her to join her on a 2019 trip to Africa “to represent how far we have come as a country.”

Princeton political scientist Frances Lee said there’s no doubt Pelosi was a “truly great legislative leader, among a handful truly in command. She’s really had her party in the House of Representatives in hand.

The difficulty of managing them should not be underrated. It didn’t always look pretty but she held the party together.”

Pelosi prevailed — for nearly 20 years as House Democratic leader including nearly eight as speaker in two separate stints — with hard-nosed sentiments like these: “Whoever votes against the speaker will pay a price.” — to Democrats who resisted her push for a select committee on climate change early in her speakership.

“Nobody’s walking out of here saying anything, if they want to keep an in-

the state as a whole.

As one reader put it: “If we ever left California, we would just leave the country.”

Here’s some more of what you shared, lightly edited: “In 1973, my wife and I visited the Bay Area from Madison, Wis. We stayed with different friends for several weeks and one day my wife came back from an outing and said she’d rented an apartment. I completely understood. We were smitten by the Mediterranean climate, the stunning beauty of the coast, the way locals valued the outdoors and prioritized spending time in it.

And we constantly noticed how in getting acquainted with people no one asked us where we had gone to college — the obligatory sorting process we knew so well from the East Coast and Midwest.

So open, so refreshing.

I hitchhiked back to Mad-

ison, closed our apartment, bought an old car, loaded all our worldly goods into a U-Haul trailer, and when I got back to Oakland and the new apartment we both started looking for jobs.

California does that kind of thing to people. We’ve raised a family, retired and traveled the world for 15 months without coming back home.

But nothing satisfies more than my connection to the place that we call California.”

— Richard Bunce, Berkeley “Here in South Lake Tahoe, I step outside or anywhere in town, and it is a respite of beauty. There’s always a cool feel to the air, a boon for this postmenopausal woman. I can drive to the Bay Area for a wonderful change of scenery, even as all those other Californians are heading to Tahoe for the same reason.” — Merlyn Oliver, South Lake Tahoe

“In September 1982, we came to Ocean Park in Santa Monica with two backpacks, $2,000 and youthful optimism. We’ve walked beside, cycled along, swam in, worked near and dawdled at the edge of the Pacific ever since. Californians are diverse, inclusive, open to ideas and in love with the natural beauty of its mountains, deserts and, of course, the Pacific. We’re on this earth for just a little while, and California’s warmth, beyond its fine weather, has fed our spirit these four decades. Eureka! We struck gold making it our home.”

— Susan O’Brien, Santa Monica “My family has been in California for over 170 years, and every time I’m gone from California, I miss it so badly that I cannot even listen to ‘I Left My Heart in San Francisco’ without be-

ing clutched by longing to be home. I love all of it — flying into the beautiful cooling fog of San Francisco, smelling the dry air tinged with oak and dust in the Sacramento Valley, seeing the jacaranda and bougainvillea blooming in Southern California, watching the ocean crash onto the beach on the Sonoma Coast, meandering through the Santa Ynez Valley, skiing at Tahoe and seeing the lake from the top of a ridge and on and on. It can be maddening and contradictory and disappointing, but it’s always beautiful and interesting and welcoming, and it’s always home.” — Michelle Oroschakoff, Rancho Santa Fe

tact neck.” — to negotiators trying to work out a 2007 House-Senate compromise to restrain pork, according to the notes of John A. Lawrence, her then-chief of staff and author of a new insider book on her speakership, “Arc of Power.”

Sometimes, she could snap her lawmakers into line without a word.

A flick of her hand was all it took to silence Democrats who cheered when the House first passed articles of impeachment against Trump. It was an occasion for sobriety and Pelosi was a stickler for institutional decorum.

But not always.

She ripped up her copy of Trump’s 2020 State of the Union speech, on the dais behind him, on camera. The theatrical protest at one of American democracy’s prime rituals raised questions about whether Pelosi, in that moment, had become what she despised in Trump.

Afterward, she said she had extended her “hand of friendship” to him when he arrived but he did not take it. “He looked a little sedated,” she added. As she read quickly through her copy of the speech while Trump delivered it, she stewed over the lines and decided to take action.

“He has shredded the truth in his speech, shredded the Constitution in his conduct — I shredded the address,” she said crisply. “Thank you all very much.”

it simply to raise money, and it worked. Then they used her in ads to attack Democratic congressional candidates. Some of those worked, too, At least publicly, she would never attribute the attacks to the fact she’s a woman, Lawrence said.

“She would say, ‘They did it because I’m effective.’”

Then “pretend to flick dust” off her immaculate jacket.

“Darth Nancy” was a quaint, faraway insult by the time the pro-Trump mob came looking for her that Jan. 6. Their sign at the Capitol said “Pelosi is Satan.”

Rifling through her desk in the abandoned speaker’s office, they found a pair of boxing gloves.

Pink ones.

If not, you’re headed to the medicine tent.”

Some of the toes squashed by Pelosi belong to Jane Harman, a fellow Californian who long ran in the same circles as the speaker. She returned to Congress in 2001 after a two-year gap, armed with a written promise from Democratic leaders that she could reclaim her seniority and become chair of the sought-after Intelligence Committee if the party took control of the chamber.

When Democrats did so in 2007 and Pelosi became speaker, she bumped Harman from the committee, citing term limits that had not always been evenly applied. Harman believes the real reason was that Pelosi was under pressure from liberals not to give the job to someone who had supported the war in Iraq.

“I think, looking back, that she was under pressure from the left not to promote somebody who had voted for the war.”

Still, Harman, who left Congress in 2011 to lead the Wilson Center think tank, allows that Pelosi has “a very good political radar and she has kept the caucus together.”

When Pelosi entered Congress in 1987, men chaired all the House committees and no women had led one since the 1970s, by the reckoning of House historians. In the 1970s, the most popular committee chair appointment for women in the House was to lead the Select Committee on the House Beauty Shop before that panel vanished at the end of that decade.

Under Pelosi, women took over more panels and gained weightier assignments while the speaker worked to advance authority for minorities in her ranks as well as their numbers.

“She led in a way that did set the stage for other women and open the doors for their potential,” said Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Woman and Politics, at Rutgers University. “Things have moved. And she is a big part of that.”

ocratic leaders from the same era still in charge.

“No brewing rebellion,” said Lee at Princeton, but “a sense that maybe it is time.”

Leon Panetta, former CIA and Defense chief and chief of staff to President Bill Clinton, had nothing but praise for Pelosi’s leadership and skill but said she “probably could have spent more time building a stronger bench in terms of leadership in the House and trying to make sure that others could follow in her path. That becomes a question mark now as to just exactly who’s going to be able to replace her.”

Panetta met her in the 1980s when he was a congressman from California and she was getting started as a Democratic fund-raiser extraordinaire after her family had moved to that state. She had already learned lessons about transactional politics as the politically engaged daughter of Thomas J. D’Alesandro Jr., a three-term Baltimore mayor and five-term member of Congress from Maryland.

Her prowess in persuading people to open their wallets on behalf of Democratic candidates was one of the keys to her success.

Harman calls those dollars crucial to the “big tent” that Pelosi erected for her caucus and to her ability to hold sway over it — “a $1.25 billion tent.”

Michigan Rep. Fred Upton, a Republican who was in the same freshman class with Pelosi and is retiring from Congress, said of her: “This is why the Democrats had more money than God. She was magic, and I don’t think she lost a vote.”

Gingrich tacks on other elements of her power: “Her fundraising, her ability to inspire intense loyalty, her willingness to punish people who don’t do what she wants.”

“As a professional, you have to have great respect for her ability to acquire and wield power and her ability to build what was an effective machine,” he said.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement that despite their many disagreements, “I have seen firsthand the depth and intensity of her commitment to public service. There is no question that the impact of Speaker Pelosi’s consequential and path-breaking career will long endure.”

In Pelosi’s reign, nothing was left to chance — even her clothing was curated to send a message: She paired a black dress worn during the Trump impeachments with a gold pin depicting the mace of the House, a symbol of her power. When she swooshed out the doors of the White House after one particularly pointed encounter with Trump, her sunglasses and burnt-orange winter coat were

quickly the stuff of social media memes.

On Thursday, for the big reveal of her plans, Pelosi wore suffragette white and her mace brooch.

Pelosi told reporters the attack on her husband, Paul, also 82, last month made her inclined to stay in leadership, so as not to give extremists the satisfaction of seeing her leave.

She might have hung in, she indicated, if Democrats had won a majority.

The attacker, who police say had come looking for the speaker, fractured her husband’s skull with a hammer. Pelosi said she is working through “survivor’s guilt.”

Could there be a third-generation Pelosi headed to Congress after the speaker and her father?

It’s long been thought that Nancy’s daughter, Christine, would be at the front of the line for the congressional seat whenever Pelosi decided to retire.

In her time, Pelosi went beyond domestic politics to stake a claim to congressional influence in foreign policy on behalf of the House as an institution, pointing her gavel outward in a way speakers had rarely done.

Well beyond her annual Mother’s Day visits to women in combat overseas, Pelosi traveled to foreign leaders with a mission to project U.S. stability, particularly during the unpredictable Trump years but also before and after.

She traveled secretly to Kiev early in the Russia-Ukraine war and caused some grief in the Biden administration with her diplomatically dicey visit to Taiwan this year.

Pelosi had a history of standing up to China. In her first foreign trip after being elected to Congress in 1987, she joined other U.S. lawmakers in 1991 in unfurling a banner at Tiananmen Square after Chinese authorities crushed pro-democracy demonstrations there in 1989. Her recent Taiwan visit was another slap at Beijing.

For all her clout in government, Pelosi was an unpopular figure in the country overall. In a Pew Research Center poll conducted in late June and early July, only about a third of respondents had a favorable opinion of Pelosi, while 6 in 10 were unfavorable toward her.

Most Democrats and Democratic leaners — about 6 in 10 — were thumbs up about her, though she lagged Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, both rated favorably by three-quarters of Democrats. About 9 in 10 Republicans viewed her unfavorably.

Through it all, she went at practically everything as if it had a best-before date. After all, she would say, “Power is perishable.”

Washington is “the perishable city.”

THE VILLAINIZATION In 2007, Republican President George W. Bush opened his speech as the “first president to begin his State of the Union with these words: Madam Speaker.” He grinned, she beamed, an ovation followed.

Although she maintained a genial relationship with the Bush family — especially the elder George Bush — Republican campaigns seized on her as the perfect foil early on and never let go. She was pilloried as “Darth Nancy” in the 2006 campaign and the villainization got much uglier, complete with gun imagery, as the years passed and politics became more toxic.

“She was, she is, the personification of the San Francisco liberal,” Lawrence said in an interview.

“It was made to order for them.”

But “with her there was a viciousness. The fact that she fit that bill so perfectly — a smart, attractive, effective woman ... they knew they could caricature and stigmatize things about her, her appearance and style, in a way that was a very effective dog whistle of misogyny.”

Republicans often did

THE DO-LOTS CONGRESS Over the years, Pelosi honed the art of aiming high, then disappointing one faction of her party or another without losing her core of support. Rare is the major achievement that was as far left as the party’s left wing wanted it to be.

But many are the major achievements. She settled for an “Obamacare” bill that did not give everyone the option of government health insurance, but did, over time, fundamentally expand access to health care.

As financial institutions and large segments of the economy sank into the Great Recession, with the 2008 election looming, she settled for a Bush-era stimulus package that essentially bailed out Wall Street — when liberal Occupy Wall Street activists had very different ideas.

She delivered Democratic votes to help even some Trump initiatives get over the line, like early COVID-19 pandemic relief, before swinging behind President Joe Biden on some of the most far-reaching legislation since Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society push in the 1960s.

And Bono, who worked with Pelosi over the years on combating AIDS, said in a statement to the AP after a performance Thursday night in Scotland: “When the story of the end of AIDS is written, Nancy Pelosi’s name will stand out in boldface.”

“I am honored to have learned so much from her grit and grace, and to call her a friend,” he added.

For all the accolades, Pelosi crushed a multitude of toes along the way.

“Her instincts are to find a path and if you happen to be standing in the hole, she’s going to treat you like a running back,” said political scientist Cal Jillson at Southern Methodist University. “If she can go through you, fine.

THE PELOSI CEILING Because of the speaker’s longevity, however, many other up-and-comers in the party besides Harman have discovered they could only rise so far before hitting the Pelosi ceiling. The top job simply hadn’t been available.

Pelosi faced none of the questions about sharpness or stamina that dog Biden, 80 on Sunday. She still races around Congress, in high heels, at a pace that people half her age can find hard to match.

But even before the elections, concern had grown in the ranks about the crowd of older Dem-

We Cancel Timeshares for You Many people believe their timeshares cannot be canceled, but they often can be.

Our founder and CEO, Chuck McDowell, has successfully fought in federal court for the right to help timeshare owners — like you — out of their “binding” agreements. Whether you were misled or pressured, you may have an easy exit.

How Does the Cancellation Process Work?

• Start with a FREE consultation to discuss your needs.

• If we see that the circumstances of your agreement qualify you to exit the timeshare, you’ll be assigned a specialist to walk you through gathering documentation.

• Our Resolution Department then works quickly to have your timeshare and related fees permanently terminated.

"While October's sales and price results were weaker than what we've experienced in the past couple of years and could slow further in the upcoming off-season, the market bottom could be in sight," CAR President Jennifer Branchini said. | Courtesy Photo of Renee Schiavone/Patch.

Home Sales Fall In Riverside County, But Prices Stay High In October, home sales countywide were down 19.2% compared to September and were off 42% compared to a year ago, according to CAR. CNS | CONTRIBUTED

S

ales of existing homes in Riverside County dropped by double digits last month, while the median price of a single-family home was virtually unchanged, the California Association of Realtors said Wednesday.

In October, home sales countywide were down 19.2% compared to September and were off 42% compared to a year ago, according to CAR. The association's Unsold Inventory Index for October indicated that the median time a property was on the market in the county before it sold was

28 days. Statewide, it was 23 days.

"While October's sales and price results were weaker than what we've experienced in the past couple of years and could slow further in the upcoming off-season, the market bottom could be in sight," CAR President Jennifer Branchini said. "Homes are still selling relatively quickly at 23 days on the market, one in four homes is selling above list price due to limited inventory, and with median price growth remaining positive in four of the five price segments, home prices are holding up reasonably well."

The median home price

countywide in October was $599,990, compared to $600,000 in September, according to CAR. On a year-over-year level, the price was 3.4% higher; in October 2021, the median price of an existing single-family property was $580,000, data showed.

Statewide, the median price last month was $801,190, compared to $821,680 in September -- down 2.5%. In October 2021, the statewide median price was $798,440, reflecting an anemic year-overyear rise of .3%.

The median represents the point at which half of homes sell above a price, and the other half below it.

Airbnb aims to convince more people to rent out their homes DAVID KOENIG | AP NEWS

C

onvinced that the boom in leisure travel is permanent, Airbnb aims to expand its listings by convincing more people to turn their homes into short-term rentals.

The company said Wednesday that it will increase the amount of liability coverage for hosts, up to $3 million, in a play for owners of nicer houses in high-cost places such as California. It will also pair newbies with a “superhost” to guide them through the process of becoming a short-term landlord, from signing up through welcoming their first guest.

More listings would not seem to be Airbnb’s biggest challenge.

CEO Brian Chesky says the San Francisco compa-

IN-N-OUT from A2

Investors worry that consumers paying more for food, gas and housing — and facing predictions of recession — will cut back on discretionary spending like travel, hurting Airbnb.

Some current hosts are worried that might already be happening. Last month, a post on a Facebook page for Airbnb “superhosts” asked, “Has anyone seen a huge decrease in bookings over the last 3 to 4 months? We went from at least 50% occupancy to literally 0% in the last two months.”

Other hosts on social media have suggested theories ranging from a fragile economy to pentup travel demand finally running out, and some think the problem might be that Airbnb already has too many listings.

AirDNA, which tracks short-term-rental num-

bers, said Airbnb listed nearly 1.4 million rentals in the U.S. in September, a 23% jump from a year earlier and 9% over 2019. Nearly two-thirds were added since 2020.

The trends are similar for global listings.

Chesky said in an interview that Airbnb has enough hosts now — he didn’t say it has too many — but needs more because leisure travel will keep growing. And, he said, a recession could push more people to turn their homes into Airbnbs. After all, he likes to point out, Airbnb launched during the great recession in 2008.

“People are pulling back spending in tons of areas, but not travel,” he said. “And with a looming recession, we felt like more people than ever are going to want to make extra money.”

Potential hosts sometimes hesitate, Chesky said, because they are uncomfortable having strangers in their homes.

The company’s response is to triple the amount of coverage for hosts — from $1 million to $3 million — against damage, including to vehicles, boats and a wider range of art on the property.

Chesky is betting that will persuade more owners of nice homes to list them on Airbnb.

“Exactly, and home values have increased since we wrote the $1 million plan,” he said. “We just noticed more than 20% of the homes on Airbnb, and maybe even more than that, were over the $1 million limit in value.”

The company said it is also launching a system to verify the identity of guests and flag potential

parties, immediately in the U.S. and Canada and worldwide by next spring.

Chesky said the system is “not a silver bullet,” and he didn’t provide many details but said in the U.S. it will include a check of criminal and sex-offender records.

In the meantime, the company is working on a plan to display the all-in price of a stay up front on its app and website — an amount that would include cleaning fees, which can be very high and only appear later in the booking process.

Chesky said he didn’t want to bar or cap cleaning fees — that’s a decision for hosts, he said.

But including fees in the upfront price — and in the order in which search results are displayed — “is going to correct the market,” he said.

it’s time for lunch. When you leave for Tahoe, Auburn is where you’ll want to stop for a snack.

“Or an even weirder example: I did the Wildflower Triathlon on the [Central Coast] a few years back and all I wanted after was In-NOut. We got in the car and drove about 75 miles north to the first one. And there, as soon as I got out, everyone is athletes from the race, in their lycra. For some reason, when you’re on the road, everyone is always thinking InN-Out.” By now, you probably know some version of In-NOut’s story almost as well as you know your order. The (still) family-owned, never-franchised burger stand was founded in 1948, at the beginning of the post-war freeway boom, in the Los Angeles suburb of Baldwin Park. Since then, it has grown into 358 locations in five states — California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Texas — all within a day’s drive from its Irvine headquarters.

In-N-Out corporate head-

quarters is notoriously cagey about location placement and the amount of business done. They did not respond to SFGATE’s requests for details on the Kettleman City restaurant.

In-N-Out is now overseen by the only grandchild of founders Harry and Esther Snyder. The company’s current president is Lynsi Snyder, 40, whose current side venture is the military-themed Christian organization Army of Love, with a mission to “act as an outstretched arm of the body of Christ to embrace people in need of direction, encouragement, prayer, discipleship, healing, training, and freedom” according to its website.

The fast food company has a simple base menu: burgers, fries, drinks, shakes. Over time, it has transformed into an art form of infinite possibility, thanks to its legendary and beloved “secret” items.

Roselynn Nixon, en route with her family from Disneyland back to the Bay Area, said their favorite order is

always on their mind while on the road. Kettleman City is the stop as well, a marker of how far they’ve come and how far they have to go.

“It is the midway point,” she said. “Time to get out and recharge.”

She meant that, literally.

The vacationing family was taking advantage of the Tesla charging station as they fueled themselves up on burgers and fries. On the way down the previous Saturday, they had also stopped in Kettleman City, but the In-N-Out, they said, was too busy, so they had to settle for McDonald’s.

“This one’s always pretty full, for good reason,” Nixon said. “We’re in no hurry, but today was easier than the weekend. It’s a good place to stop but, you know, you probably don’t want to stay too, too long.”

She’s right. Kettleman City might not be the place most motorists want to stay for a while and by design, it isn’t.

Most notably, the region has made headlines for the effects of the nearby Kettleman

Hills Hazardous Waste Facility, owned by garbage giant Waste Management, just 4 miles west of the In-N-Out parking lot.

Along with its proximity to Interstate 5, the toxic waste site has been linked to birth defects and even deaths here since it opened in 1982.

The town, which is 95% Hispanic, began in the 1920s as a place to live for those working in the nearby oil fields.

It’s now mostly residents who work in the rest stop section of town or in the surrounding farmlands.

“I think everyone enjoys stopping here, it’s certainly a place we like to come,” said Michelle Peterson. She and her husband recently moved from Long Beach to Nipomo on the Central Coast. “We love In-N-Out, but there are always stories behind these towns; there’s always something going on, a little more than meets the eye.”

Boise residents Jason Holm and Dylan Lindsey came to Kettleman City after repairing refrigeration equipment during the week at Delano

Farms. This time, they decided to skip In-N-Out to instead sample the fare at nearby Bravo Land, a 32,000-square-foot frontier town-themed restaurant and attraction from the owners of Bravo Farms, the Van Ryn family.

Holm and Lindsey noshed on burritos and seasoned fries as they sat next to a shooting gallery featuring an animatronic bear beckoning would-be players.

“In-N-Out is great, but that line man,” Holm said.

“You know, coming from Boise where we’ve had a lot of our ... traffic imported [from] here, it’s nice to take a break from sitting in a line of cars.”

Indeed, Bravo Land and its Wild West aesthetic may be an alternative for folks who stop over in Kettleman City and see only taillights at the In-N-Out this holiday season. But for some, the wait is also part of it.

“It’s the anticipation, right?” Sam Maslin said, smiling. “I guess you caught us at a time of being eager, hopeful for the future.”

ing at the pre-holiday rush as they stopped at the In-NOut, en route to a holiday of their own.

“We’re on our way to get married,” said San Francisco resident Sam Maslin, who was taking bites of his double-double. “Well, we’re doing the ceremony in Palm Springs anyway, Indian Wells.”

His partner, Lauren Maslin, who grew up in Arizona, said that the Kettleman City In-N-Out is “just kind of the place you go to in California when you’re moving up and down the state. I learned that from him.”

The couple shared a laugh, saying In-N-Out doesn’t leave anything up to chance.

Sam continued to speculate that In-N-Out’s locations are all “very strategically placed.”

“I’ve actually given this some thought,” he said, “Like when you get up and leave SF in the morning to go to Southern California, this is the place you’ll be at when

ny is taking steps to make price more transparent when consumers browse Airbnb listings, and he predicts that will reduce sky-high cleaning fees that many hosts tack on well into the booking process — a major complaint of consumers.

The company also continues to try to crack down on large parties at rentals, a few of which have turned violent. And it faces efforts to increase regulation of short-term rentals.

Through it all, Airbnb has fared better than most travel companies during the pandemic. This month, it reported a record $1.21 billion profit for the third quarter. Its stock fell, however, because earnings and bookings were less than Wall Street expected and the company gave a cautious fourth-quarter outlook.

Gunman kills 5 at gay club, is subdued by patrons THOMAS PEIPERT AND JESSE BEDAYN | AP NEWS

A

22-year-old gunman opened fire inside a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs, killing five people and leaving 25 injured before he was subdued by “heroic” patrons and arrested by police who arrived within minutes, authorities said Sunday.

At least two firearms, including a “long rifle” used during the shooting, were found at Club Q after the Saturday night attack, police said.

On its Facebook page, the club called it a “hate attack.”

Investigators were still determining a motive and whether to prosecute it as a hate crime, said El Paso County District Attorney Michael Allen. Charges against the suspect “will likely include first-degree murder,” he said.

Police identified the gunman as Anderson Lee Aldrich, who was in custody and being treated for injuries.

A man with that name was arrested in 2021 after his mother reported he threatened her with a homemade bomb and other weapons, authorities said. They declined to elaborate on that arrest. No explosives were found, authorities said at the time, and The Gazette in Colorado Springs reported that prosecutors did not pursue any charges and that records were sealed.

Authorities were called to

Club Q at 11:57 p.m. Saturday with a report of a shooting, and the first officer arrived at midnight.

Joshua Thurman said he was in the club with about two dozen other people and was dancing when the shots began. He initially thought it was part of the music, until he heard another shot and said he saw the flash of a gun muzzle.

Thurman, 34, said he ran with another person to a dressing room where someone already was hiding.

They locked the door, turned off the lights and got on the floor but could hear the violence unfolding, including the gunman getting beaten up, he added.

“I could have lost my life — over what? What was the purpose?” he said as tears ran down his cheeks. “We were just enjoying ourselves.

We weren’t out harming anyone. We were in our space, our community, our home, enjoying ourselves like everybody else does.”

The gunman was confronted by “at least two heroic people” who fought and subdued the suspect, said Police Chief Adrian Vasquez.

“We owe them a great debt of thanks,” he added.

Detectives also were examining whether anyone had helped Aldrich before the attack, Vasquez said.

Police did not give further details on the other guns found at the scene.

Of the 25 injured, at least

seven were in critical condition, authorities said. Some were hurt trying to flee, and it was unclear if all of the victims were shot, a police spokesperson said.

The shooting rekindled memories of the 2016 massacre at the Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, that killed 49 people. Colorado has experienced several mass killings, including at Columbine High School in 1999, a movie theater in suburban Denver in 2012 and at a Boulder supermarket last year.

It was the sixth mass killing this month and came in a year when the nation was shaken by the deaths of 21 in a school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

Club Q is a gay and lesbian nightclub that features a drag show on Saturdays, according to its website. Club Q’s Facebook page said planned entertainment included a “punk and alternative show” preceding a birthday dance party, with a Sunday all-ages drag brunch.

Drag events have become a focus of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and protests recently as opponents, including politicians, have proposed banning children from them, falsely claiming they’re used to “groom” children.

Attorney General Merrick Garland was briefed on the shooting and the FBI was assisting police with the investigation.

President Joe Biden said that while the motive for the

shootings was not yet clear, “we know that the LGBTQI+ community has been subjected to horrific hate violence in recent years.”

“Places that are supposed to be safe spaces of acceptance and celebration should never be turned into places of terror and violence,” he said. “We cannot and must not tolerate hate.”

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who became the first openly gay man in the United States to be elected governor in 2018, called the shooting “sickening.”

“My heart breaks for the family and friends of those lost, injured and traumatized,” Polis said. “Colorado stands with our LGTBQ community and everyone impacted by this tragedy as we mourn.”

A makeshift memorial sprang up Sunday near the club, with flowers, a stuffed animal and candles and a sign saying “Love over hate” next to a rainbow-colored heart.

Seth Stang was buying flowers for the memorial when he was told that two of the dead were his friends.

The 34-year-old transgender man said it was like having “a bucket of hot water getting dumped on you. ... I’m just tired of running out of places where we can exist safely.”

Ryan Johnson, who lives near the club and was there last month, said it was one of only two nightspots for the LGBTQ community in conservative-leaning Colo-

rado Springs. “It’s kind of the go-to for pride,” the 26-yearold said of the club, which is tucked behind other businesses, including a bowling alley and a sandwich shop.

Colorado Springs, a city of about 480,000 located 70 miles (112 kilometers) south of Denver, is home to the U.S. Air Force Academy, the U.S. Olympic Training Center, as well as Focus on the Family, a prominent evangelical Christian ministry that lobbies against LGBTQ rights.

The group condemned the shooting and said it “exposes the evil and wickedness inside the human heart.”

In November 2015, three people were killed and eight wounded at a Planned Parenthood clinic in the city when authorities say a gunman targeted the clinic because it performed abortions.

“Club Q is devastated by the senseless attack on our community,” the club post-

ed on Facebook. “We thank the quick reactions of heroic customers that subdued the gunman and ended this hate attack.”

The CEO of a national LGBTQ-rights organization, Kevin Jennings of Lambda Legal, pleaded for tighter restrictions on guns.

“America’s toxic mix of bigotry and absurdly easy access to firearms means that such events are all too common and LGBTQ+ people, BIPOC communities, the Jewish community and other vulnerable populations pay the price again and again for our political leadership’s failure to act,” he said in a statement.

The shooting came during Transgender Awareness Week and just at the start of Sunday’s International Transgender Day of Remembrance, when events around the world are held to mourn and remember transgender people lost to violence.

Elizabeth Holmes gets more than 11 years for Theranos scam MICHAEL LIEDTKE | AP NEWS

D

isgraced Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes was sentenced Friday to more than 11 years in prison for duping investors in the failed startup that promised to revolutionize blood testing but instead made her a symbol of Silicon Valley ambition that veered into deceit.

The sentence imposed by U.S. District Judge Edward Davila was shorter than the 15-year penalty requested by federal prosecutors but far tougher than the leniency her legal team sought for the mother of a year-old son with another child on the way.

Holmes, 38, faced a maximum of 20 years in prison.

Her legal team requested no more than 18 months, preferably served in home

confinement.

“This is a very heavy sentence,” said Rachel Fiset, a defense lawyer who has also been involved in health care cases.

Holmes, who was CEO throughout the company’s turbulent 15-year history, was convicted in January in the scheme, which revolved around the company’s claims to have developed a medical device that could detect a multitude of diseases and conditions from a few drops of blood.

But the technology never worked, and the claims were false.

Theranos was dashed “by misrepresentations, hubris and just plain lies,” the judge said.

“This case is so troubling on so many levels,” Davila said. “What was it that caused Ms. Holmes to make the decisions she did? Was there a loss of a

moral compass?”

Holmes’ meteoric rise once landed her on the covers of business magazines that hailed her as the next Steve Jobs. And her deception was persuasive enough to draw in a list of sophisticated investors, including software magnate Larry Ellison, media mogul Rupert Murdoch and the Walton family behind Walmart.

She sobbed as she told the judge she accepted responsibility for her actions.

“I regret my failings with every cell of my body,” Holmes said. She promised Davila she would devote the remainder of her life to trying to help others.

Holmes’ attorney, Kevin Downey, indicated she would appeal the sentence.

Holmes and her family left the courthouse by a side entrance and managed to evade reporters and pho-

tographers.

Before handing down the sentence, Davila reflected on Silicon Valley’s transition from an agricultural hub populated by farmers and ranchers to a “crucible of innovation” brimming with bright-eyed entrepreneurs dreaming of changing the world.

Recalling the humble beginnings of technology pioneer Hewlett-Packard in a small garage in Palo Alto — the same city where Theranos was based — he spoke wistfully of “honest, hard work.”

“That, I would hope, will be the legacy and continuation of this valley,” the judge said.

Amanda Kramer, a former federal prosecutor who is now a defense attorney, described the sentence as “the equivalent of neon, flashing billboard” offering “a reminder the long-term

consequences of fraud far outweigh any short-term gains.”

The sentencing in the same San Jose courtroom where Holmes was convicted on four counts of investor fraud and conspiracy marked another climactic moment in a saga that has been dissected in an HBO documentary and an award-winning Hulu series.

Her lawyers argued that Holmes was a well-meaning entrepreneur who is now a devoted mother.

Their viewpoints were supported by more than 130 letters submitted by family, friends and former colleagues praising Holmes.

Davila suggested that the letters might have struck a different tone had the writers seen and heard all the evidence shown to the jury.

Prosecutors also wanted Holmes to pay $804 million

in restitution — an amount that covers most of the nearly $1 billion that she raised from investors. But the judge left that question for a future hearing that has not been scheduled.

While wooing investors, Holmes leveraged a high-powered Theranos board that included former Defense Secretary James Mattis, who testified against her during her trial, and two former secretaries of state, Henry Kissinger and the late George Shultz, whose son, Alexander submitted a statement blasting Holmes for concocting a scheme that played Shultz “for the fool.”

Alexander Shultz made a brief appearance Friday to lambaste her for terrorizing his son, Tyler, a former Theranos employee turned whistleblower who helped

gle man. The property address and other common designation, if any, of the real property is purported to be: 830 San Ynez Dr., Hemet, CA 92543, APN 446-182009. The undersigned trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Sale is: $12,240.79. The opening bid at the foreclosure sale may be more or less than this estimate. In addition to cash, trustee will accept a cashier's check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn on a state or federal credit union or a check drawn on a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. If tender other than cash is accepted, the trustee may withhold issuance of the Trustee's Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. In its sole discretion, the seller (foreclosing party) reserves the right to withdraw the property from sale after the opening credit bid is announced but before the sale is completed. The opening bid is placed on behalf of the seller. Said sale shall be made, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Lien, advances thereunder, with interest as provided in the Declaration or by law plus the fees, charges and expenses of the trustee. THIS PROPERTY IS BEING SOLD IN AN "ASIS" CONDITION. If you have previously received a discharge in bankruptcy, you may have been released from personal liability for this debt in which case this notice is intended to exercise the secured party's rights against the real property only. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER AND ALL OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

If you wish to learn whether this sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916939-0772 or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com using the file number assigned to this case: V2108054. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an "eligible tenant buyer," you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an "eligible bidder," you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case V21-08054 to find the date on which the trustee's sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee's sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee's sale. If you think you may qualify as an "eligible tenant buyer" or "eligible bidder," you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the sale shall be subject to the following as provided in California Civil Code Section 5715: "A non judicial foreclosure sale by an association to collect upon a debt for delinquent assessments shall be subject to a right of redemption.

The redemption period within which the separate interest may be redeemed from a foreclosure sale under this paragraph ends 90 days after the sale."

Public Notices in this newspaper help me participate in my community.

State law requires government entities at all levels, from water districts to city councils and school boards, to place notices of many of their activities in a legal newspaper. This is a legal newspaper. I subscribe to it, and I read it.

I read legal notices to find out when those people will meet, what rules and laws they’re talking about and when I can offer my two cents worth.

Would a similar notice posted somewhere on the internet alert me to what’s going on around here?

The answer to that is obvious.

No, it would not.

Musk restores Trump’s Twitter account after online poll ALEX VEIGA | AP NEWS

E

lon Musk reinstated Donald Trump’s account on Twitter on Saturday, reversing a ban that has kept the former president off the social media site since a pro-Trump mob attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as Congress was poised to certify Joe Biden’s election victory.

Musk made the announcement in the evening after holding a poll that asked Twitter users to click “yes” or “no” on whether Trump’s account should be restored. The “yes” vote won, with 51.8%. Previously, Musk had said Twitter would establish new procedures and a “content moderation council” before making decisions to restore suspended accounts.

“The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated. Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Musk tweeted, using a Latin phrase meaning “the voice of the people, the voice of God.” Shortly afterward Trump’s account, which had earlier appeared as suspended, reappeared on the platform complete with his former tweets, more than 59,000 of them. His followers were gone, at least initially, but he quickly began regaining them. There were no new tweets from the account as of late Saturday, however.

Musk restored the account less than a month after the Tesla CEO took control of Twitter and four days after Trump an-

The Wall Street Journal expose the flaws in the company’s blood-testing technology.

The judge gave Holmes more than five months of

When you leave for Tahoe, Auburn is where you’ll want to stop for a snack.

“Or an even weirder example: I did the Wildflower Triathlon on the [Central Coast] a few years back and all I wanted after was InN-Out. We got in the car and drove about 75 miles north to the first one. And there, as soon as I got out, everyone is athletes from the race, in their lycra. For some reason, when you’re on the road, everyone is always thinking In-N-Out.” By now, you probably know some version of InN-Out’s story almost as well as you know your order.

nounced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential race.

It is not clear whether Trump would actually return to Twitter. An irrepressible tweeter before he was banned, Trump has said in the past that he would not rejoin even if his account was reinstated.

He has been relying on his own, much smaller social media site, Truth Social, which he launched after being blocked from Twitter.

And on Saturday, during a video speech to a Republican Jewish group meeting in Las Vegas, Trump said that he was aware of Musk’s poll but that he saw “a lot of problems at Twitter.”

“I hear we’re getting a big vote to also go back on Twitter. I don’t see it because I don’t see any reason for it,” Trump said. “It may make it, it may not make it,” he added, apparently referring to Twitter’s recent internal upheavals.

The prospect of restoring Trump’s presence to the platform follows Musk’s purchase last month of Twitter — an acquisition that has fanned widespread concern that the billionaire owner will allow purveyors of lies and misinformation to flourish on the site. Musk has frequently expressed his belief that Twitter had become too restrictive of freewheeling speech.

His efforts to reshape the site have been both swift and chaotic. Musk has fired many of the company’s 7,500 full-time workers and an untold number of contractors who are re-

sponsible for content moderation and other crucial responsibilities. His demand that remaining employees pledge to “extremely hardcore” work triggered a wave of resignations, including hundreds of software engineers.

Users have reported seeing increased spam and scams on their feeds and in their direct messages, among other glitches, in the aftermath of the mass layoffs and worker exodus.

Some programmers who were fired or resigned this week warned that Twitter may soon fray so badly it could actually crash.

Musk’s online survey, posted on his own Twitter account, drew more than 15 million votes in the 24 hours in which it ran.

Musk conceded that the results were hardly scientific. “Bot & troll armies might be running out of steam soon,” he tweeted Saturday morning. “Some interesting lessons to clean up future polls.”

It’s not the first time he’s used Twitter polling to make business decisions.

Last year he sold millions of shares of his Tesla stock after asking his followers whether he should.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York responded to Musk’s poll on Trump by tweeting video of the Jan. 6 insurrection. She tweeted Friday that when Trump was last on Twitter, it “was used to incite an insurrection, multiple people died, the Vice President of the United States was nearly

assassinated, and hundreds were injured but I guess that’s not enough for you to answer the question. Twitter poll it is.”

Trump lost his access to Twitter two days after his supporters stormed the Capitol, soon after the former president had exhorted them to “fight like hell.” Twitter dropped his account after Trump wrote a pair of tweets that the company said cast further doubts on the legitimacy of the presidential election and raised risks for the Biden presidential inauguration.

After the Jan. 6 attack, Trump was also kicked off Facebook and Instagram, which are owned by Meta Platforms, and Snapchat.

His ability to post videos to his YouTube channel was also suspended. Facebook is set to reconsider Trump’s suspension in January.

Throughout his tenure as president, Trump’s use of social media posed a significant challenge to major social media platforms that sought to balance the public’s interest in hearing from public officials with worries about misinformation, bigotry, harassment and incitement of violence.

But in a speech at an auto conference in May, Musk asserted that Twitter’s ban of Trump was a “morally bad decision” and “foolish in the extreme.”

Earlier this month, Musk, who completed the $44 billion takeover of Twitter in late October, declared that the company wouldn’t let anyone who

freedom before she must report to prison on April 27 — a window of time that should enable her to give birth to her second child before she is incarcerated. She gave birth to a son shortly before her trial started last year.

If Holmes’ pregnancy had a role in determining her sentence, the decision could prove controversial.

A 2019 study found that more than 1,000 pregnant women entered federal or state prisons over a 12-month study period; 753 of them gave birth in

custody.

According to a 2016 survey by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, more than half of women entering federal prison — 58% — reported being mothers of minor children.

Kramer said it seemed clear that Davila did not allow the pregnancy to sway his judgement. His sentence “was a lesson about justice being blind, whether you are woman, a mother, a powerful figure, you are still going to be treated equally under the law.”

In-N-Out corporate headquarters is notoriously cagey about location placement and the amount of business done. They did not respond to SFGATE’s requests for details on the Kettleman City restaurant.

In-N-Out is now overseen by the only grandchild of founders Harry and Esther Snyder. The company’s current president is Lynsi Snyder, 40, whose current side venture is the military-themed Christian organization Army of Love, with a mission to “act as an outstretched arm of the body of Christ to embrace people in need of direction, encouragement, prayer, discipleship, healing, training, and freedom” accord-

The fast food company has a simple base menu: burgers, fries, drinks, shakes. Over time, it has transformed into an art form of infinite possibility, thanks to its legendary and beloved “secret” items.

Roselynn Nixon, en route with her family from Disneyland back to the Bay Area, said their favorite order is always on their mind while on the road. Kettleman City is the stop as well, a marker of how far they’ve come and how far they have to go.

“It is the midway point,” she said. “Time to get out and recharge.”

She meant that, literally. The vacationing family was taking advantage of the Tesla charging station as they fueled themselves up on burgers and fries. On the way down the previous Saturday, they had also stopped in Kettleman City, but the In-N-Out, they said,

POLL: Elon Musk said Saturday he will reinstate Donald Trump’s account on Twitter, reversing a ban that has kept the former president off the social media site since a pro-Trump mob attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as Congress was poised to certify Joe Biden’s election victory. (Nov. 19). | Courtesy Photo Screenshot of Twitter via HSJC had been kicked off the site return until Twitter had established procedures on how to do so, including forming a “content moderation council.”

On Friday, Musk tweeted that the suspended Twitter accounts for the comedian Kathy Griffin, the Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson and the conservative Christian news satire website Babylon Bee had been reinstated. He added that a decision on Trump had not yet been made. He also responded “no” when someone on Twitter asked him to reinstate the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ account.

In a tweet Friday, the Tesla CEO described the company’s new content policy as “freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.”

He explained that a tweet deemed to be “negative” or to include “hate” would be allowed on the site but would be visible only to users who specifically searched for it. Such tweets also would be “demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter,” Musk said. ___ This story has been corrected to reflect that the yes vote was 51.8%, not 51.2%.

ert Leach described the Theranos scam as one of the most egregious white-collar crimes ever committed in Silicon Valley. In a scathing 46-page memo, Leach urged the judge to send a message to curb the hubris and hyperbole unleashed by the tech boom of the last 30 years.

Even though Holmes was acquitted on four counts of fraud and conspiracy tied to patients who took Theranos blood tests, Leach also asked the judge to factor in the health threats posed by Holmes’ conduct.

Evidence submitted during her trial showed the tests produced wildly unreliable results that could have steered patients toward the wrong treatments.

Holmes lawyers painted her as a selfless visionary who spent 14 years trying to revolutionize health care. They asserted that Holmes never stopped trying to perfect the technology until Theranos collapsed in 2018.

They also pointed out that Holmes never sold any of her Theranos shares — a stake valued at $4.5 billion

in 2014. “Where did all the money go? To building technology,” Downey said.

In court documents, Downey also asked Davila to consider the alleged sexual and emotional abuse Holmes suffered while she was involved romantically with Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani, who became a Theranos investor, top executive and eventually an accomplice in her crimes.

Balwani, 57, is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 7 after being convicted in a July trial on 12 counts of fraud and conspiracy.

was too busy, so they had to settle for McDonald’s.

“This one’s always pretty full, for good reason,” Nixon said. “We’re in no hurry, but today was easier than the weekend. It’s a good place to stop but, you know, you probably don’t want to stay too, too long.”

She’s right. Kettleman City might not be the place most motorists want to stay for a while and by design, it isn’t. Most notably, the region has made headlines for the effects of the nearby Kettleman Hills Hazardous Waste Facility, owned by garbage giant Waste Management, just 4 miles west of the In-N-Out parking lot.

Along with its proximity to Interstate 5, the toxic waste site has been linked to birth defects and even deaths here since it opened in 1982. The town, which is 95% Hispanic, began in the 1920s as a place to live for

those working in the nearby oil fields. It’s now mostly residents who work in the rest stop section of town or in the surrounding farmlands.

“I think everyone enjoys stopping here, it’s certainly a place we like to come,” said Michelle Peterson. She and her husband recently moved from Long Beach to Nipomo on the Central Coast. “We love In-N-Out, but there are always stories behind these towns; there’s always something going on, a little more than meets the eye.”

Boise residents Jason Holm and Dylan Lindsey came to Kettleman City after repairing refrigeration equipment during the week at Delano Farms. This time, they decided to skip In-NOut to instead sample the fare at nearby Bravo Land, a 32,000-square-foot frontier town-themed restaurant and attraction from the

owners of Bravo Farms, the Van Ryn family.

Holm and Lindsey noshed on burritos and seasoned fries as they sat next to a shooting gallery featuring an animatronic bear beckoning would-be players.

“In-N-Out is great, but that line man,” Holm said.

“You know, coming from Boise where we’ve had a lot of our ... traffic imported [from] here, it’s nice to take a break from sitting in a line of cars.”

Indeed, Bravo Land and its Wild West aesthetic may be an alternative for folks who stop over in Kettleman City and see only taillights at the In-N-Out this holiday season. But for some, the wait is also part of it.

“It’s the anticipation, right?” Sam Maslin said, smiling. “I guess you caught us at a time of being eager, hopeful for the future.”
