Police identify shooter; death toll rises

BY ASHLEY ARCHIBALD Daily Press Staff Writer

PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITY A shooter described by police as heavily armed and “ready for battle” fired off at least 70 rounds of ammunition from an assault rifle in the Santa Monica College Library Friday before law enforcement officials were able to gun him down, authorities said.

The shooter, who has been identified as John Zawahri, 23, was armed with 1,300 rounds of ammunition, a rifle similar to an AR15 assault rifle and an old 44-caliber handgun when he made his way down city streets in a shooting spree, killing four people and gravely injuring one on Friday. Police announced that the gravely injured victim died from her wounds SEE DETAILS PAGE 7 JOHN ZAWAHRI

ital radio service and changes to the software behind iPhones and iPads on Monday as the company opens its annual conference for software developers.

Apple hasn’t said what it will unveil at the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco. But the major announcements are expected during Monday’s keynote presentation. Last year, Apple used the conference to announce its own mapping service, better integration with social networks and improvements to virtual assistant Siri. It also announced thinner MacBooks with highresolution screens. The conference runs through Friday.

This year, Apple is expected to show off a simplified look on iPhones and iPads. If the speculation is correct, it would be the most radical design change since the iPhone made its debut in 2007, showing consumers that phones could do much more than make calls and exchange messages.

This week’s event comes at an important time for Apple. The company’s stock price has fallen amid concerns that another breakthrough product isn’t imminent. Although CEO Tim Cook has said people shouldn’t expect new products until the fall, Apple is likely to preview how future products will function in its unveiling of new services and features.

Monday’s highlight is expected to be an updated version of iOS, the software that runs iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches. It will be called iOS 7 and will come with new devices expected to go on sale this fall.

Owners of recent models such as last fall’s iPhone 5 will likely be eligible for free upgrades.

Icons in iOS now have a three-dimensional look that tries to mimic the real-world counterparts of certain apps. For instance, SEE NEW PAGE 9

‘The Purge’ shocks with $36.4 million opening JAKE COYLE AP Entertainment Writer

NEW YORK The suspense thriller “The

nationwide, and the number of Hispanic children in poverty exceeds that of any other racial or ethnic group. Largely less educated, Hispanic workers are concentrated in relatively low-skill occupations, earning less than the average for all U.S. workers.

“America’s communities have become divided between economic winners and losers,” said Daniel Lichter, a Cornell University sociologist and past president of the Population Association of America. “Increasingly, Hispanics begin life’s race at a decided disadvantage, raising the specter of new Hispanic ghettos and increasing isolation.”

As poor working Latinos settle across the country, fueling local economies in industries such as manufacturing, construction and agriculture, some are left with little room to climb the job ladder.

That holding pattern leads to a cycle of poverty that shows up in the next genera-

Purge” topped the weekend box office with a shocking $36.4 million that doubled industry expectations, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Audiences starved for a horror option flocked to the micro-budget Universal film starring Ethan Hawke. The film’s strong opening performance minted another boxoffice hit for “Paranormal Activity” producer Jason Blum.

Like that horror franchise, “The Purge” was made for relative peanuts — just $3 million — making it an extremely lucrative release for Universal. The studio had expected it to open in the high teens.

“Never did we expect it to open at this level,” said Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal. “This result could not have been forecasted by anybody.”

There has been a dearth of horror films at the multiplex in recent weeks, which Rocco acknowledged was a major factor for “The Purge.” Written and directed by James DeMonaco, “The Purge” is set in a utopic United States in the year 2022, where crime has been eradicated except for one violently cathartic day a year when nearly all mayhem is legal.

The film opened strong with late night screenings Thursday night that alone took in $3.4 million.

“This is exactly the kind of film that stumps all the analysts,” said Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com. “It proves that Rrated horror films, no matter the budget, always have a place with audiences.”

Universal also claimed the second spot at the box office, as the Vin Diesel action flick “Fast & Furious 6” earned $19.8 million in its third week of release. The sixth installment of the street racing series has now earned a total of $202.3 million domestically and $381.7 million internationally.

The Google-promoting comedy “The Internship” opened with $18.1 million, a decent debut for the Fox comedy that reteams “Wedding Crashers” stars Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn.

But that was good enough only for fourth place behind two hold-overs: “Fast & Furious

In nation’s breadbasket, Latinos stuck in poverty GOSIA WOZNIACKA Associated Press

FRESNO, Calif. On a warm spring day, farmworker Cristina Melendez was bedridden and unable to make her way back into the asparagus fields of central California for the kind of backbreaking work she’s done since childhood.

The 36-year-old mother of seven was desperate. Her bank account had been at zero for months, the refrigerator was nearly empty, and she didn’t have enough to cover the rent. Lacking health insurance, Melendez couldn’t see a doctor or afford medication, so her illness dragged on — and another day came and went without work or pay.

A native of Mexico who was smuggled into the United States as a child, Melendez had once dreamed big: to be a bilingual secretary, to own a house and a car, to become a U.S. citizen.

Agriculture, she hoped, would be the springboard to a better life — for her and her U.S.-

born children, the next generation of a family whose past and future are deeply rooted in the fertile earth of America’s breadbasket.

California’s San Joaquin Valley is one of the richest agricultural regions in the world, with Fresno County farmers receiving a record $6.8 billion in revenues last year. But the region also consistently ranks among the nation’s most impoverished. Sometimes called “Appalachia of the West,” it’s where families, especially Hispanic immigrants and their children, live year after year in destitution.

This divide causes concern because of what it may foretell as the nation’s Hispanic population explodes and the U.S. moves toward becoming a majority minority nation.

Census data show that non-Hispanic whites will cease to be a majority somewhere about the year 2043. The shift is largely driven by high birth rates among Hispanics as well as by declines in the aging white population.

Already there are a record number of Hispanics living below the poverty line

PUBLISHER Ross Furukawa

Too close for comfort Editor:

When MSNBC first reported the incident of a shooting in Santa Monica in which five people died including the suspect and many others were wounded, I called my daughter to alert her about what was going on, but she did not answer the cell phone.

A short while later she called back telling me that Edison Elementary School was having a field day at Virginia Avenue Park and that she and my two grand children were there when a bus was being shot at as she had just walked to get pizza for everyone.

She ran back to the park to find all the children in a panic, and my grand son came on the line to explain he had heard very loud gun shots, and a lot of them. I asked about my grand daughter and he said she was crying.

Later that night my grand daughter called to tell me how frightened she was, and I told her I understood her fears and that she did a very good thing by hiding behind a tree in the park.

I really want to thank the teachers of Edison Elementary School and the staff at Virginia Avenue Park who gathered up the children when the shooting began and rushed them all indoors to relative safety!

I deeply regret the loss of life and injury to everyone, in yet another senseless act of carnage that plagues our nation, this time closer to me and mine and the community in which I was raised and now my children and grand children’s home.

Stewart Resmer Wayne, NJ

Not the way to behave Editor:

Someone should tell the bystanders shown on the news how completely inappropriate it was for them to stand in front of news cameras mugging and talking on their cellphones so their friends could see them on TV. Grow up! People were shot and killed and you’re standing there laughing and acting like 6 year olds!

I fear for our country if these are the leaders of tomorrow!

Susan Petersen Federal Way, Wash.

Be kind to each other Editor:

There have been 4,810 gun deaths since Sandy Hook according to the Twitter feed @GunDeaths and now there have been more after the shootings in Santa Monica. Each one of those deaths is devastating and the grief affects loved ones for a lifetime. We may not be able to implement sensible gun laws today but we can do our small part by doing an act of kindness, saying hello to a stranger, and/or avoiding conflict. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain by remembering the humanity of this world.

Northeast Neighbors are angry

ross@smdp.com

EDITOR IN CHIEF Kevin Herrera

I

ATTENDED

A

MEETING

OF

THE

Northeast Neighbors (NN) last Monday evening. Everyone in the packed Montana Avenue Library community room was angry.

Angry about the larger developments being encouraged under the recently adopted Land Use and Circulation Element (LUCE) along Wilshire Boulevard. Angry about the truly hideous, five-floor, mixed use project proposed for 2919-23 Wilshire Blvd. (Jerry’s Liquor). And, angry about the expanding number of “outsider” vehicles occupying neighborhood parking spaces.

The folks living between Wilshire and Montana and 22nd Street and Centinela Avenue complained that the kinds of community benefits called out in the LUCE and required for new developments don’t really benefit their neighborhood. They’re right.

Benefits are mostly channeled to general community improvements including affordable housing; bicycling, pedestrian and bus amenities; day care centers; etc.

Neighbors were most upset about the growing street parking shortage. Non-residents looking for free parking such as people working or shopping along Wilshire — at Whole Foods and St. John’s Health Center, for example — are encroaching deeper into single-family neighborhoods.

Attendees told city planners that size, density and insufficient parking standards under consideration for future Wilshire development will exacerbate neighborhood traffic and parking issues. Decoupling onsite parking from apartments and condos would mean even less on-street parking.

After the meeting, I chatted with neighbors and noted the prime community benefit is more and more housing. It, especially affordable housing, is driving the demand for development. This means larger developments, more people, more cars, more traffic and increased parking demand. I called it the proverbial elephant in the refrigerator that everyone pretends doesn’t exist including planning staff, slow-growth council persons and planning commissioners alike.

My neighbor’s response: “Oh, we can’t go there. That’s politically incorrect.” But, if we don’t “go there,” our neighborhoods will suffer as a result of policies that’ll contribute to a poorer “quality of life” for residents.

Nothing should be off the table — especially that which is a major factor in the city’s accelerating growth rate.

“City Hall doesn’t listen to us,” neighbors said over and over. Right, again. Unfortunately, the idealized, ill-advised fixes City Hall offers will, in reality, make things much worse.

THE HANDWRITING’S ON THE WALLS

I’m really enthusiastic about the work of a group of everyday citizens who call themselves Beautify Lincoln. Led by Evan Meyer, a board member for the Ocean Park Neighborhood Association, the group is “spearheading a grassroots urban improvement and streetscape beautification project primarily through art, in the form of murals designed by local luminaries and painted by the artists, myself, and other motivated volunteers.”

Evan and his team have contacted commercial property owners and offered to beautify local businesses for free. They coordinate wall space with artists, obtain the paint and supplies and get the work done.

It’s a great idea — initiated by local citizens not the government. In fact, City Hall has been conspicuously absent from this project. Maybe that’s why it’s working so darned well. My hat is off, way off, to all those involved.

Beautify Lincoln has already been recognized by one of the world’s major “street art” websites. Melroseandfairfax.blogspot.com posted, “The project is win/win/win because the community looks better, the walls are free to the businesses (which they love), and the artists love the exposure. We also dig that Meyer calls the streets, ‘the best gallery in the world.’”

Congratulations to Evan, his team, Naylor Paints in Venice and forward thinking, community-minded businesses and property owners on Lincoln Boulevard. Go to www.beautifylincoln.com for more information.

TIME FOR A ‘TIME OUT’

Council members Kevin McKeown, Tony Vazquez and Ted Winterer have placed an item on Tuesday night’s council agenda that would put further action on three high-rise projects proposed for Downtown Santa Monica on hold until at least a draft Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) is approved.

City staff is recommending establishing key Downtown locations called “opportunity sites” that would provide substantial leeway in development standards including much taller buildings than permitted by present code.

Among the more controversial projects announced are a 21-floor tower proposed for the renovated Fairmont-Miramar Hotel at Ocean Avenue and Wilshire and another 22-floor hotel tower designed by noted architect Frank Gehry at Ocean Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard. A third high-rise hotel features a 15-floor tower designed by the Jerde Partnership for FelCor Lodging Trust, owner of the Wyndham Hotel (formerly Holiday Inn) at Ocean and Colorado avenues.

The hysteria generated by the proposed high-rises, says McKeown, “Have created a disruptive distraction that will make it difficult for us residents to be effective in deciding what we really want for all of Downtown.”

McKeown suggests that anything planned over 84 feet tall (which exceeds current zoning codes) should be put on hold so work on the DSP can go forward without the distractions arising out of debate about the three high-rise hotels slated for the area.

“The heated controversies they’ve engendered are making it difficult for the Planning Department to engage the public effectively on the Downtown Specific Plan,” he emailed.

A draft DSP would provide a guideline for development standards for the entire Downtown and include possible caps on height and density. The “time out” is a good idea and well worth full council and public support. The council must shut the barn door before all the cows escape.

I said the same last year when a number of proposed projects in the Bergamot area were under consideration before a Bergamot Specific Plan was adopted. Piecemeal planning is bad planning.

M.I.A: Monarch butterflies have been in sharp population decline over the last two decades — a process that has accelerated in just the last few years — due to habitat loss.

Where did they flutter to?

Bill Wright, Erie, Pa.

The monarch butterfly, royally adorned in black, white and reddish-orange and able to migrate as far as 2,800 miles, is a true wonder of nature. Each year monarchs travel from Canada and the U.S. to hibernate in the forests of central Mexico. But in recent years the monarchs have been in sharp population decline due to habitat loss, eradication of the plants it depends upon and other environmental factors.

The decline in monarchs has been going on for two decades, but the last few years have been particularly worrisome. Mexico’s National Commission of Natural Protected Areas reports a 59 percent decline in the area of forest there occupied by overwintering monarchs since December 2011. Meanwhile, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) reports that overwintering populations along the California coast have shrunk from over a million individuals counted at 101 sites in 1997 to less than 60,000 at just 74 sites in 2009. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature, which maintains the “Red List” of

endangered species around the world, recognizes the monarchs’ annual migration as an “endangered biological phenomenon.”

According to Monarch Watch, an educational outreach program based at the University of Kansas that engages citizenscientists in monarch monitoring and conservation efforts, habitat destruction is one key driver in the monarch’s demise: “New roads, housing developments and agricultural expansion…all transform a natural landscape in ways that make it impossible for monarchs to live there.” Also, drought and record-high temperatures in North America in 2012 triggered an earlier-thanusual monarch migration. This disrupted the butterflies’ breeding cycle by drying out their eggs prematurely.

The hot weather has also reduced the nectar content of the milkweed plants that monarch larvae depend on. In addition, milkweed is becoming scarce due to farmers’ increasing reliance on herbicides. Most of the soy and corn crops grown in the U.S. are genetically engineered to resist herbicides.

This means even more chemical sprayingand far fewer milkweed plants. Nectar producing plants that attract adult butterflies are facing a similar fate, further complicating survival for the monarch.

It won’t be easy to stem the tide of human

EARTH TALK FROM PAGE 5 development that threatens the species’ long term survival. In 2008 the Commission for Environmental Cooperation, set up under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) to help the U.S., Canada and Mexico coordinate on environmental initiatives, published its North American Monarch Conservation Plan to establish a conservation blueprint for the butterflies.

Key aspects of the plan include the creation of incentives for the conservation of overwintering sites and the restoration of breeding habitat throughout the butterfly’s extensive range.

We have you covered In the meantime, the Mexican government has worked with WWF and other groups and made strides in restricting logging in areas critical to monarch populations. And in the U.S., monarch habitat restoration work in California and other parts of the U.S. have helped provide the butterflies some relief. Whether these and other efforts are enough to rescue the monarchs remains to be seen.

FOR ALL TO SEE: Weapons, ammunition and ammo clips found in a black bag carried by the suspect during Friday’s shooting spree were put on display for reporters on Saturday.

DETAILS FROM PAGE 1 on Sunday.

She was identified as Marcela Dia Franco, 26. She was in a red SUV when the suspect shot and killed her father, Carlos Franco, and injured her. She had been at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center since the shootings.

Zawahri entered the college campus and opened fire in the library, attempting to hunt down a group of people who stacked items against the door of a room and hunkered down in an attempt to protect themselves from bullets piercing the drywall around them.

“It’s miraculous that these people were not injured,” Santa Monica Police Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks told reporters Saturday during a press conference at the Public Safety Facility.

At that point, three officers, two from the Santa Monica Police Department and one from the Santa Monica College Police Department, caught up to him and engaged in a gun fight which he did not survive.

Had the gunman lived, he would have turned 24 years old on Saturday, Seabrooks said.

The entire shooting spree was over within 10 minutes.

Another person of interest who was taken into custody Friday was cleared of blame. He had gone onto the campus in a “poorly timed effort to be a good Samaritan,” she said. The man apparently wanted to rescue his girlfriend, who is a student at SMC. Seabrooks laid out a chilling scene, describing how the suspect, dressed all in black and armed to the teeth, left a home on the 2000 block of Yorkshire Avenue in flames, shot one woman driving by the residence and forced another to drive him toward the SMC campus.

Firefighters found two bodies in the home, one of which has been identified as the shooter’s father, 55-year-old Samir Zawahri, a longtime resident of Santa Monica. The other was the gunman’s brother, Christopher Zawahri, 24.

As he traveled toward SMC, the suspect shot indiscriminately, striking a Big Blue Bus and one woman that police said may have been trying to intervene.

John Zawahri then shot at the SUV the Franco family was traveling in, causing it to crash near SMC. Another woman on the SMC campus, described as white and in her 50s, was also shot and killed. She has not be identified.

Law enforcement officials displayed a black duffle bag, rounds of ammunition, ballistic body armor and an extra receiver for a 223 rifle. Police are not releasing information about the ownership or origin of the weapons. The rifle used in the shooting has been sent to the Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Office for analysis.

They also showed photographs of the shooter entering the library, and of multiple magazines of ammunition surrounded by splashes of blood.

Seabrooks added that SMPD officers had an encounter with the shooter in 2006, but could not elaborate because he was a minor at the time. He was enrolled at SMC as recently as 2010, police said.

She did say that the murders appeared to be premeditated.

“Any time someone puts on a vest, of some sort, comes out with a bag full of loaded magazines, has an extra receiver, has a handgun and has a semi-automatic rifle, carjacks folks, goes to a college, kills more people and has to be neutralized at the hands of the police, I would say that that’s premeditated,” Seabrooks said.

The Main Campus will be open for business as of 7 a.m. Monday, Vasquez said, and finals being given on the Main Campus, which were disrupted by the shootings, will take place at that time.

For staff, faculty and students that need help or support in the wake of the incident, counselors will be available on the Bundy Campus between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Sunday, and potentially all month long on the Main Campus.

People may also call a 24-hour Crisis Care Support Line at (866) 315-7370.

Lines have not been too busy said Bill S., one of the 23 counselors available, but anyone that calls in will receive support and help getting a “more substantial follow up” to the phone call.

“There’s limits to what you can provide on the phone,” he said.

Community members who live in the Pico Neighborhood, where the shootings took place, are also struggling to make sense of the violence that broke out so near their homes on Friday.

Oscar de la Torre, a school board member, lives 200 feet away from the house in which the bodies were found and could see the flames engulf the building from his bedroom window.

“The whole community is traumatized,” de la Torre said. “People witnessed the shooter.”

At the same time, de la Torre was proud of the way his neighbors reacted, immediately calling law enforcement officials, providing the license plate number of the stolen car and tending to the wounded.

Residents are currently trying to arrange some kind of block party or other community event to heal some of those wounds.

Still, de la Torre struggles with how to explain the events to his young son, who was with him and his wife when they returned home not long after the shooter had continued his rampage.

“It’s disturbing,” de la Torre said. ashley@smdp.com Daniel Archuleta contributed to this report.

NEW FROM PAGE 1 the icon for the Notes app looks like a yellow notepad and the Contacts app is represented by a leather-bound address book. The speculation is that Apple will do away with that theme in iOS 7. Instead, icons will look plain and simple, offering more consistency from app to app. The new design is likely to favor black and white elements rather than splashes of color.

While design modifications could help Apple distinguish its devices from rival phones and tablets, they risk alienating longtime users.

Microsoft’s radical makeover of the Windows operating system in October was meant to give the company a stronger presence on tablet computers, but it ended up confusing many people who had become accustomed to using the old operating system on traditional desktops and laptops.

IDC blamed Windows 8 for accelerating a decline in PC sales.

Apple riled users of its gadgets last fall when it kicked out a beloved app using Google’s mapping service and replaced it with its own Maps app. Travelers complained of misplaced landmarks, overlooked towns and other problems. What was supposed to be a triumph for Apple served to underscore Google’s strength in maps. Apple CEO Tim Cook issued a rare public apology and promised improvements.

Apple may use iOS 7 as an opportunity to update its Maps app. Other features in iOS 7 may include new ways to do things through gesture commands.

Apple is also expected to debut a streaming music service dubbed iRadio.

Apple is a pioneer in digital music sales.

The debut of its iTunes music store in 2003 gave people an easy, legal way to obtain music for their iPods. Apple persuaded the

major recording companies to join its efforts as a way to thwart online piracy. What started with a catalog of about 200,000 songs has grown to tens of millions today. The iTunes store is now the leading U.S. retailer of music.

With iTunes, people buy songs or albums to download to computers, phones and tablets. But streaming services such as Pandora and Spotify have emerged as popular alternatives for listening to music.

Pandora relies on its users being connected to the Internet at all times and plays songs at random within certain genres for free. The service is supported by advertising. It is the most similar service to the one Apple is expected to announce Monday The difference is that Apple is expected to feature a seamless way for listeners to purchase songs through iTunes.

The announcement could further cement Apple as a leader in digital music and cut into Pandora’s status as the most-listened-to Internet radio service.

But Apple faces a new type of competition that it didn’t have when it debuted iTunes. Rival Google Inc. started an ondemand subscription music service called All Access last month. The service joins Spotify, Rhapsody and others that give subscribers the ability to pick and choose specific songs and albums from a catalog of millions for playback on computers, tablets and smartphones. Such services allow songs to be saved on mobile devices for playback outside of Internet connectivity as long as the user keeps paying a monthly fee — usually $10 a month in the U.S. Apple Inc. faces more competition on phones, too. Phones running Google Inc.’s Android system have surpassed iPhones in sales. In addition, new phones running Microsoft Corp.’s Windows Phone 8 system and Research In Motion Ltd.’s BlackBerry 10 have started going on sale in recent months. second week.

Even with the unexpected success of “The Purge,” the box office was still down from last year, when “Madagascar 3” and “Prometheus” both opened. But Superman comes to the rescue next weekend with the debut of Zac Snyder’s highly anticipated “Man of Steel” for Warner Bros.

Dergarabedian expects the film to open above $100 million.

POVERTY FROM PAGE 3 tion of U.S. citizens. With poverty stunting childhood development and stymieing educational attainment, experts say many Latino children are on track to remain stuck in low-skilled, underpaid jobs.

Harvard economist George Borjas projects that the children of today’s immigrants will earn on average 10 percent to 15 percent less than nonimmigrant Americans, with Latinos in particular struggling. The trend could have broad repercussions.

“Much of the nation’s labor force growth, its future growth, will come from the Hispanic community,” said Mark Hugo Lopez, associate director of the Pew Hispanic Center, pointing to research showing that childhood poverty affects education and jobs.

“This not only has implications for Latino families, but for the nation as a whole.”

The cycle is especially evident in the fields, vineyards, orchards and groves of the San Joaquin Valley, which stretches about 250 miles between the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles. Thousand-acre farms dominate, thriving on a system of dammed rivers, drained lakes, advanced fertilizers and pesticides. Despite agriculture’s modernization and its steadily growing revenues, surprisingly little has changed for the workers themselves.

Farmers have always relied on hiring racial or ethnic minorities ranked at the bottom of society. Valley crops once were harvested by Chinese, Japanese, Punjabis, Filipinos, Mexican braceros, southern Europeans, African-Americans and the white American Dust Bowl arrivals that were an exception to the immigrant mold. Today’s crops are picked primarily by Hispanic immigrants like Melendez or their American-born children.

Hispanics account for half the population in Fresno County, and one-third of them live in poverty. Nationally, 1 in 4 Latinos lives below the poverty line, the second-highest percentage of all ethnic and racial groups, after blacks. That compares with an overall national rate of 15 percent and a rate for whites of about 10 percent.

Nowhere are these differences more apparent than in Fresno, California’s fifth-largest city and the state’s unofficial agricultural capital.

Fresno’s north side — home to bankers, doctors and teachers — is dotted with gated communities and McMansions with manicured lawns. It boasts newly paved streets, bike lanes, generous sidewalks, a popular mall and parks.

Melendez’s neighborhood in southeast Fresno is a world away. Children on bikes crisscross cracked streets, their gutters strewn with trash. Shabby apartment complexes stretch for blocks. Melendez’s three-bedroom home sits on the bottom floor of one such complex, shared

by Latino immigrants and Hmong refugees.

Melendez’s journey here began with her father, who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally in the late 1970s to pick oranges. He returned to Mexico within a year, but Melendez’s mother, Maria Rosales, then came to pick grapes, almonds and peaches.

“People told me I would be sweeping dollars with a broom in California, but what I swept were only pennies,”said Rosales, 60, who is now a U.S. citizen and still lives in Fresno.

At 13, Melendez, along with two of her sisters, joined her mother in California, having trekked with a smuggler across the border. The family settled in a small farmworker town in Fresno County. After school and on weekends, Melendez and her sisters SEE LATINOS PAGE 11

LATINOS FROM PAGE 10 picked the grapes that surrounded them.

“It was loneliness. It was sadness,” Melendez said. “I hated grapes.”

Melendez dropped out of high school to get married and to get away from working the vineyards, but she and her husband soon separated. Though she spoke good English, she still lived in the country illegally and lacked a high school diploma, barring most employment. She again turned to the fields.

When Melendez can work, she picks every type of crop, from asparagus and grapes to chili peppers. In the offseason, she ties vines and trims branches.

Paid by the hour, Melendez generally receives California’s minimum wage of $8.

But whenever possible she works “piece rate,” getting paid a set amount per box or bucket picked. Running through the fields to pick as much as she can, she once grossed about $3,000 for a few weeks of work.

But lean months with no work inevitably follow such windfalls. Without legal status, Melendez can’t file for unemployment. She obtains food stamps for her U.S.-citizen children, but otherwise receives little government help. To make ends meet, she sometimes peddles barbecued beef, tamales and beauty products door to door and rents a room to a friend.

“That’s what I have, and that’s what I make do with,” she said, “because the process of doing something else is difficult.”

Her children know this, too. Her eldest sons, age 18 and 21, have high school diplomas but no jobs. The oldest, Cristian, started attending Fresno City College’s automotive technician program with the help of a loan but then dropped out. Last winter, with help from a local employment program, he got a

two-month job at a bakery. He’s also filled temporary positions in maintenance and at a vacuum cleaner company.

Now a parent himself, with a 3-year-old son to support, Cristian said he’s desperate to find something permanent. He worked as a farmworker in high school and last year picked peaches, nectarines and grapes. He eventually hopes to get a business degree and open a tattoo parlor and smoke shop, but still fears following in his mother’s footsteps — never finding a way out of the fields.

“I don’t want to work in the fields, busting my ass for low pay. That doesn’t make sense,” he said.“But if I don’t find work soon, we’re low on income, so I’m going to have to go to the fields.”

In Fresno, advocates and experts for years have noticed the inextricable relationship between agriculture, the Hispanic community and poverty, and sounded the alarm. But little has been done to tackle the root of the problem.

“The number of working people in poverty is increasing, and we’re falling further behind in education and health. We need to reverse that trend. Otherwise we’ll continue to be seen as a poor area with bad statistics,” said Caroline Farrell, executive director of the Valley-based Center on Race, Poverty & the Environment. “And it will get worse. ...

We won’t have a sustainable community.”

Fresno’s mayor, Ashley Swearengin, hopes to reverse the trend and last year led a citywide program called Learn2Earn, which helps residents earn their high school diplomas and encourages them to pursue higher education and job training.

“We’re talking about changing the mindset of people who think this is their lot in life, this is all they are ever going to do,” said Linda Gleason, who leads Learn2Earn. “It’s about tapping into people’s internal motivation — and showing them education and a better job are not impossible dreams.”

When You Hear About a Personal Injury or a Personal Injury Lawsuit, What Does It All Mean?

A

personal injury is a type of harm that an individual suffers as a result of someone else’s wrongful act or omission (failure to act when they should have).The types of injuries suffered vary depending on the circumstances and can include,among others,broken bones,lost sight,severed limbs,and death.Also,the wrongful injury causing event could be something caused without fault or intentionally.An example of an unintentional harm is when somebody accidentally rear ends the car in front of them because they simply were not paying attention.This is commonly referred to as negligence.Negligence,in a nutshell,means that a person either did something or did not do something, which resulted in someone else getting hurt.The actual legal requirements are a little more complex,but this simplified explanation will work for now.

Regarding personal injuries caused by the intentional or reckless acts of others,intentional acts include rape, assault,battery,and other types of physical and emotional abuse.Examples of reckless conduct that can cause harm to innocent people are drunk driving,discharging a firearm in public or detonating explosives in public places.

Whether we are talking about personal injuries caused by negligent,intentional or reckless acts,the law generally provides that victims of such conduct who suffer harm are entitled to compensation.And in some instances,victims are also eligible to receive punitive or exemplary damages to ensure that the person or business that caused the harm in the first place does not repeat its bad conduct.More about punitive damages in a minute.For now,let us talk about injury compensation.

What can the law do for you if you have suffered personal injuries caused by someone else? In a perfect world, the need to bring a lawsuit to receive compensation for your injuries would not be necessary because the person who caused the harm would apologize and then endeavor to pay for the damage they caused.The current Court system requires,and actually prefers,that those responsible for harming someone else accept responsibility and pay to the victim reasonable compensation.

Reasonable compensation includes such things as lost wages,lost future wages if the hurt person can no longer do their job,the payment of past and future medical bills,and the costs of future and ongoing care if the person can no longer care for themselves.There are additional items that constitute reasonable compensation but the list can be infinite because each person and each harm is unique.

Regarding punitive damages, the imposition of punitive damages is designed to prevent more people from getting hurt.The prevention aspect of punitive damages is to create a “sting” to the defendant.A proper “sting” is only effective if the defendant feels it financially. Stated differently, generally, punitive damages are determined on an ability to pay basis.

So do not be surprised when you hear or read about a jury that made a big punitive damage finding because it likely means that someone got hurt real bad or died, the defendant did something really bad, and the defendant has the financial wherewithal to pay the damages.

As a public service announcement, be leery of the argument and those promoting it that customers pay when there are big punitive damages awards.

This is not really accurate because safe business practices actually save money in the short and long terms.And do not forget, we live in a civilized society and quick profits should never trump personal safety and well-being. Pass it on.

Why personal injury or victim compensation lawsuits? A lawsuit is necessary because sometimes those responsible for causing harm do not take responsibility for the harm.The Court case is designed to address issues of fairness. If the bad person caused the harm, the jury is empowered by law to tell that bad person to fix it.The concept is simple and injury victims should not be frowned upon because they were forced to file a lawsuit in the first place.After all, they did not ask to get hurt.

One more thing,if you have been hurt be someone else,or you know of someone who has been hurt by someone else,make sure medical attention is the first thing on everyone’s mind.Take care of the injuries first.Worry about lawyers and lawsuits as a last resort and trust that the person or business that caused the harm will fix it.If not,then call a lawyer.To ensure that you receive what the law provides for your situation and injuries,be sure to seek the assistance of a lawyer.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: ★★★★★Dynamic ★★ So-So ★★★★ Positive ★ Difficult ★★★ Average

This year you will become even stronger. Once you decide on a set path, there will be no stopping you. Listen to what others share, even if there is an underlying bias. A partner or dear friend plays a significant role in your year. If you are single, you will meet people with ease. A friendship suddenly could become more. If you are attached, dote on your sweetie more often, as you tend to be too me-oriented. CANCER is a spendthrift, and sometimes can be a bad influence.

GETTING STARTED There are many strategies to solving Sudoku. One way to begin is to examine each 3x3 grid and figure out which numbers are missing.

Then, based on the other numbers in the row and column of each blank cell, find which of the missing numbers will work. Eliminating numbers will eventually lead you to the answer.

SOLUTIONS TO YESTERDAY’S PUZZLE

■ The Food and Drug Administration proposed recently to limit the quantity of tiny "mites" that could occupy imported cheese, even though living, crawling mites are a feature desired by aficionados. ("Cheese is absolutely alive!" proclaimed microbiologist Rachel Dutton, who runs the "cheese laboratory" at Harvard University.) In fact, cheese is home to various molds, bacteria and yeasts, which give it flavor, and sellers routinely use blowers to expel excessive critters, but the FDA now wants to limit them to 6 bugs per square inch.

However, according to a May report on NPR, lovers of some cheeses, especially the French Mimolette, object, asserting both an indifference to the sight of mites creeping around -- and a fear of taste-loss (since the mites burrow into the hunk, aerating it and extending the flavor).

■ Energy West, the natural gas supplier in Great Falls, Mont., had tried recently to raise awareness of leaks by distributing scratch-andsniff cards to residents, demonstrating gas's distinctive, rottenegg smell. In May, workers cast aside several cartons of leftover cards, which were hauled off and disposed of by crushing -- which released the scent and produced a massive blanket of odor over downtown Great Falls, resulting in a flurry of panicked calls to firefighters about gas leaks.
