Riverside supervisors OK hiring security firms to make safety improvements

By City News Service

The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday authorized the Riverside County Executive Office to hire two firms at a total cost of $900,000 to assess and address identifiable security threats to employees and make facilities safer for dayto-day operations.

In a 5-0 vote without comment, the board signed off on the agreements with Salinas-based Aanko Technologies Inc. and Wilsonville, Oregon-based Foresight Security Consulting Inc. Each compact will be in effect for three years at a "not-toexceed" price of $450,000 apiece.

"In recent past, some departments within the county have experienced threats made against facilities and employees," according to an Executive Office statement posted to the board's agenda. "These incidents have ranged from threats directed at individ-

ual employees to damaging county property and equipment. This growing concern has underscored the urgent need to evaluate the safety and security of the public buildings, parking facilities and employee workspaces."

According to the agency, "expert threat assessment services" are needed — over and above the law enforcement input already available through the sheriff's department — to handle all of the required evaluations and modifications.

"It is crucial for the county to adopt a comprehensive and coordinated approach to security," the EO stated. No specific examples were cited of employees endangered on the job or while going to and from countyowned and operated buildings, nor did the supervisors request that Assistant Executive Officer for Public Safety Michelle Paradise provide any.

Officials said that just

over 300 vendors who provide security-oriented services were solicited for bids on the contracts, but only the two selected firms followed through.

According to the agreement with Aanko Technologies, the company will provide a thorough assessment of the configurations of county facilities to scope out entrances, perimeters, parking lots and other physical locations where changes might enhance security.

Aanko will also be responsible for improving the county's background check system for employees, examining how visitors are screened, setting up emergency drills and "incident response protocols," as well as establishing self-defense training programs and internal reporting mechanisms to mitigate potential threats within the county workforce.

Documents indicated

Foresight Security Consulting's tasks will somewhat overlap Aanko's with a few redundant assignments, while also changing "badge access control systems," which have surfaced recently as a problem, highlighted in an Office of Auditor-Controller report that showed some terminated employees have continued to enjoy use of their building badges after their dismissals.

Foresight's personnel will also be focused on narrower "workplace impacts" from domestic abuse and sexual harassment, offering training to employees on how to achieve resolutions.

The firms' three-year contracts, ending Sept. 30, 2027, will be eligible for automatic renewals.

All of the costs will be covered through the EO's fiscal year appropriations, without drawing down county discretionary income, documents stated.

Multiple cities to pay more for Riverside County animal control services

By City News Service

The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved a series of cost increases to contracts with five cities that rely on the Riverside County Department of Animal Services for animal control enforcement and shelter space.

In a 5-0 vote without comment, the board cleared the changes sought by the department in its agreements with the cities of Indio, Cathedral City, Perris, Rancho Mirage and San Jacinto.

"The county has a comprehensive Animal Services Department that not only helps safeguard domestic animals but also provides resources to the community to assist pets, pet owners, as well as public safety regarding domestic animals," the agency said in documents posted to the board's agenda.

Officials wrote that a rate study was initiated to determine whether the county was netting "full cost recovery" for its animal control services, and the conclusion was that a "more balanced approach" was required to enable the contracting municipali-

LA84 report highlights gaps in play equity and barriers to youth sports

By City News Service

Astatewidereport found that nearly two-thirds of schoolaged children, particularly in the Inland Empire, Central Valley and far northern parts of California, fail to meet federal guidelines related to physical activity, officials announced Friday.

During a State Senate Education Committee Hearing at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood Friday morning, the LA84 Foundation released the findings of its 2024 California Play Equity Report, a study of statewide play equity, youth participa-

tion and physical activity levels. National research firm EVITARUS collected data for the report.

The aim of the report is to establish a new baseline for play equity, a concept of ensuring all children regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, zip code or socioeconomic status have access to play and physical activity, according to the LA84 Foundation.

According to the report, California's youth are not moving enough. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S.

Riverside nonprofit's volunteers help hurricane-ravaged Georgia

By City News Service

Volunteers from a Riverside-based nonprofit that provides fuel to operate vehicles, electric generators, stoves and other necessities in the aftermath of natural disasters were in the Southeast United States Monday to distribute petrol to aid victims of Hurricane Helene.

"The Fuel Relief Fund is on the move," the nonprofit said on its website. "We are on the ground now in Homerville, Georgia, providing free fuel to communities impacted by Hurricane Helene."

Organizers were expected to provide regular updates on distribution efforts via fuelrelieffund.org.

"When a disaster strikes, fuel, like food and water, is a crucial resource," according to FRF.

In addition to gasoline, the nonprofit distributes coal and related energy products. The organization has been involved in nearly two dozen on-the-ground relief campaigns internationally for the past several decades.

According to published reports, Helene, a Category 4

hurricane, has left a path of destruction over 800 miles long since making landfall near Perry, Florida, in the Sunshine State's Panhandle late Thursday night.

The death toll associated with the cyclone stands at 121 as of Monday afternoon.

The National Weather Service said the hurricane triggered torrential down-

pours as it plowed northward, generating almost 12 inches of rain in 48 hours over Atlanta, replacing a record that stood for nearly 150 years.

The storm has had wideranging impacts across Georgia and the Carolinas, knocking out power to millions, destroying bridges, flooding homes — some

of which literally floated away from subdivisions — and shutting down major travel corridors, according to reports.

The remnants of the storm are dissipating. Current damage estimates range from $140 billion to $160 billion. Additional information is available at usa.gov/hurricane-helene.

Indio receives tree-planting grant from Imperial Irrigation District

By City News Service

Indio has been awarded a $30,000 grant from the Imperial Irrigation District to plant droughtresistant trees in Miles Avenue Park, city officials announced Friday.

The "Tree for All - Public Green Space Grant" will be used to plant over 40 trees well suited to the desert climate, such as Tipu trees and Indian Rosewood.

In addition to aesthetic purposes, the trees are intended to create environmental benefits, such as efficient water usage, air quality and more shade,

according to city officials.

"The addition of these trees to Miles Avenue Park represents an important step in our efforts to create a sustainable, livable environment for our residents," Mayor Lupe Ramos Amith said in a statement. "This project aligns perfectly with our long-term strategy to enhance public spaces while addressing the pressing challenges of climate change and sustainability."

Officials said the project is expected to be completed by the end of

Shooter of 2 Jewish men in West Los Angeles sentenced to prison

By City News Service

AformerRiverside resident who shot two Jewish men after they left synagogues in the Pico-Robertson district last year less than 24 hours apart was sentenced Monday to 35 years in federal prison.

Jaime Tran, 30, pleaded guilty in June in downtown Los Angeles to all charges against him: two counts of hate crimes with intent to kill and two counts of using, carrying and discharging a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

"After years of spewing antisemitic vitriol, the defendant planned and carried out a two-day attack attempting to murder Jews leaving synagogue in Los Angeles," Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said in a statement.

"Vile acts of antisemitic hatred endanger the safety of individuals and entire communities, and allowing such crimes to go unchecked endangers the foundation of our democracy itself. As millions of Jewish Americans prepare to observe the High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the Justice

Iknow that the news has been shared. It’s been shared on social media. The Monrovia Weekly has also shared the news. It’s been in the Los Angeles Times, the Pasadena Star News and the San Gabriel Tribune. Yet, I can’t help but share it once more.

Department reaffirms its commitment to aggressively confronting, disrupting and prosecuting criminal acts motivated by antisemitism, or by hatred of any kind. No Jewish person in America should have to fear that any sign of their identity will make them the victim of a hate crime."

Both victims survived the attacks.

Tran admitted espousing antisemitic beliefs and making violent threats toward Jewish people. For example, in 2018, he left dental school after making hate-filled statements about other students whom he perceived to be Jewish.

From August to December 2022, Tran's antisemitic statements escalated and he used increasingly violent language, including against a former classmate whom he repeatedly called and texted with messages such as "I want you dead, Jew. Someone is going to kill you, Jew" and "Burn in an oven chamber," according to his plea agreement filed in LA federal court.

In November 2022, Tran emailed two dozen former

classmates a flyer containing antisemitic propaganda, including a statement blaming the COVID-19 pandemic on a Jewish conspiracy.

As a result of previous mental health holds, Tran was prohibited from purchasing firearms as of last year. In January 2023 in Phoenix, Tran asked someone to buy two firearms for him. Tran selected the firearms and paid $1,500 in cash to the person, who then

purchased them, prosecutors said.

Tran acknowledged that on the morning of Feb. 15, 2023, he used the internet to research locations with a "kosher market," and planned to shoot someone near such a market because he believed there would be Jewish people in the area.

Tran drove to PicoRobertson and shot a Jewish victim wearing a yarmulke as he was leaving religious services at a synagogue.

OPINION

Believing the victim was Jewish, Tran shot him at close range in the back, intending to kill him. Tran then drove away from the scene.

The next morning, Feb. 16, 2023, Tran returned to the Pico-Robertson area, intending to shoot another Jewish person. Tran shot a second Jewish victim, also wearing a yarmulke and leaving a synagogue after attending religious services.

Tran shot the victim at close range, intending to kill him, as the victim crossed the street. Tran again left the scene.

Law enforcement arrested Tran on Feb. 17, 2023, and he has remained in custody.

The Jewish Federation Los Angeles issued a statement declaring it is "grateful" for the sentence.

Said U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada: "Targeting people for death based solely on their religious and ethnic background brings back memories of the darkest chapters in human history. Such hate-fueled violence has no place in America. We hope the sentence imposed today sends a strong message to all in our community that we will not tolerate antisemitism and hate of any sort. For those who engage in hate crimes, the punishment will be severe."

LA City Councilwoman Katy Yaroslavsky, whose district includes the area where the shootings occurred, said the "sentencing brings a measure of closure to our community, but we know the pain caused by these vile acts of antisemitism lingers."

"As we move forward, we must redouble our efforts to ensure our Jewish community, and all communities of faith, can worship without fear," Yaroslavsky said.

"We thank the LAPD, FBI, and the United States Attorney's Office, whose joint efforts led to today's result," the statement said. "Our community appreciates the swift filing of federal charges, thorough investigation, and successful prosecution of this hate crime. We hope today's decision helps to bring closure to the victims and their families and makes our broader Jewish community feel protected."

Monrovia Old Town report: Simply glorious

By Shawn Spencer shawn@girlfridaysolutions.net

My dear friend, Gloria Lynn Crudgington, passed away on Sept. 25. On her birthday of all days. I’m not sure how I feel about that. Part of me is devastated that she passed on her birthday. The other part of me is just plain tickled. Gloria always said she was going to go out her way, on her terms; and darn it, she did just that.

I know that Gloria passed peacefully, with her beloved husband by her side, which is just the way she wanted it. Gloria sure was a force to be reckoned with. She was sweet as pie but took no s--t from anyone. She was, honest to God, one of the true “good ones.” She wasn’t involved in public service to further her career. She didn’t serve on our City Council for her own benefit. She worked tirelessly for the betterment of Monrovia and all who call

it home. I could list her many accomplishments and the incredibly vast number of committees, conferences and meetings she was a part of. I can fill pages with her success stories. But I will simply say “Thank you, Gloria.” Thank you for all you have done for our beautiful city. Thank you for your friendship and your countless words of wisdom. Thank you for letting me be a part of your story.

Gloria was a riot. She had a helluva sense of humor and it sometimes took me by surprise. If you knew Gloria, chances are you heard her

say something to the effect of “In my 30 years of being a marriage and family therapist, I became extremely adept at conflict resolution.” Boy, did she ever. I know that not everyone loved every member of the City Council at some point, but there is a reason some of them were referred to as the Dream Team or the Trifecta. They were such a cohesive group that worked really well together, although her “conflict resolution” skills came into play many times, especially during the Covid Zoom meetings. (I’m pretty

sure that Becky might have stepped in a few times to resolve a few minor conflicts, but I’ll save that story for later.)

In the past few years, a few people I hold dear have passed away. I was sad that I hadn’t spent time with those people in the recent weeks or months prior to their passing. I will always be grateful that I was able to attend the ribbon cutting of Crudgington Station, with Gloria in attendance. I will always cherish the time we spent together, and I am so thankful to have been able

to say goodbye to her. But Gloria’s story isn’t over. Only the narration will change. Every hike in our Wilderness Preserve or through town will be another beautiful page, thanks to her. She is simply unforgettable.

Gloria’s celebration of life will be held at Live Oak Cemetery on Oct. 10, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. Services are immediately followed by a repast at the Monrovia Community Center in the Kay Dalton Room. Gloria wanted her celebration of a wonderful life, well lived, to be open to all that wish to attend.

By City News Service

Anumber of state and city officials on Monday attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony marking completion of the second phase of the Palm Springs Navigation Center, operated by Martha's Village and Kitchen.

The ceremony began at 11 a.m. at 3589 McCarthy Road.

Among the scheduled speakers were Palm Springs Mayor Jeffrey Bernstein, members of the City Council, Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Palm Desert, and Hafsa Kaka, a senior advisor to California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Other anticipated speakers include Riverside County Supervisor V. Manuel Perez, Assemblyman Greg Wallis, R-Rancho Mirage, Martha's Village and Kitchen CEO Rosa Verduzco and Greg Rodriguez of the county's Housing and Workforce Solutions Department.

ricated modular transition units, according to a statement from city officials. Of those, 75 units have been marked for unhoused residents, 10 are designated for transitional-aged youth, and the remaining five units are reserved for families.

Residents will be able to utilize services to deal with issues such as mental health, domestic violence

and substance abuse, according to the statement.

The city opened the Early Entry Facility in March, which operates next door on a referral-only basis from the Palm Springs Access Center.

A full list of services available and further updates on project checkpoints can be found at EngagePalmSprings.com.

River A516164

River is a calm and gentle 3-year-old Husky who’s looking for a loving hom. River’s demeanor is easygoing and relaxed, making him a great fit for a family looking for a sweet, low-maintenance companion. He’s well-behaved on the leash and enjoys leisurely walks where he can explore the world around him at his own pace. River is consistently gentle and polite. He knows basic cues like sit and down and responds well to treats, taking them gently from hands. While he’s not overly interested in toys, he enjoys enrichment activities and gentle pets, especially scritches to his chest. River is a social boy who enjoys meeting new people, including children, and is very tolerant of handling. He rarely barks, preferring to calmly observe the world around him. River’s calm nature and affectionate personality make him a wonderful companion for someone seeking a gentle, loving dog. River and all other pets at Pasadena Humane will have their adoption fees waived on Saturday, October 12!

Kaylee A475491

Kaylee is an eight-year-old pit bull with a heart as soft as her sweet, squishy face! Don’t let her age fool you—Kaylee may be a bit arthritic, but she’s still got plenty of pep in her step when it comes to chasing squirrels (though her slow and steady approach might suggest she’s more into “observing” them than catching them). Kaylee is all about snuggles and affection. She’s the kind of dog who will happily rest her head in your lap and give you a little kiss as a thank you. Her tail wags like a metronome when she’s being petted, and she’s more than happy to settle in for a cozy nap by your side after a leisurely stroll in the park. This sweet girl is easy to handle and loves treats, though she’s not exactly the most delicate when it comes to taking them—let’s just say she’s enthusiastic about snack time! She’s also a big fan of squeaky toys and plushies, which she’ll joyfully toss around, proving that playtime is still very much a part of her routine.

‘Artistic Spectrum: A Symphony of Diversity’ shines in Placentia

On September 7, the Chinese University Alumni Association Alliance of Southern California (CUAAASC) hosted its highly anticipated cultural event, “Artistic Spectrum: A Symphony of Diversity,” at the PYLUSD Performing Arts Center. Now in its third year, this annual showcase has become a hallmark of the Alliance’s commitment to creativity, diversity, and community engagement.

With 180 performers and 50 alumni volunteers contributing both onstage and behind the scenes, the event provided a vibrant platform for the alumni to showcase their artistic talents and collective vision. Liza Russell, President of CUAAASC and Vice President of the Xidian University Alumni Association of the US, highlighted the event’s significance. “The essence of art is its diversity and inclusivity,” she said. “This aligns seamlessly with our mission and the multicultural fabric of Los Angeles. 'Artistic Spectrum' embodies our dedication to showcasing a wide range of artistic expressions, from traditional opera to contemporary dance, serving as a crucial platform for cultural exchange.”

Liza Russell, President of CUAAASC

& Vice President of the Xidian University Alumni Association of the US Director and Host Sarah Sun introduced the evening's highlights, emphasizing innovative formats such as the miniature musical “Zhang San’s Song,” the skit “Gentleman Swan Lake,” and the modern dance piece “If After the Rain.” The opening segment, “Homeland,” featured 56 actors from various cities, showcasing the dedication and hard work that went into the challenging rehearsal process.

Jessica Liu, First Vice President of the Alumni Alliance and Deputy Chair of the Organizing Committee, expressed heartfelt gratitude to the contributors. “Our prepara-

tions began in March and spanned five to six months,” Liu noted. “The dedication of

our volunteers and sponsors has been extraordinary. We hope this performance will

inspire even greater participation in future events.”

Prior to the show, representatives from the four hosting alumni associations shared insights into their contributions. Cindy Wu from the Xidian University Alumni Association introduced the classical dance “Hidden Dragon,” emphasizing its martial arts influences and themes of resilience and unity.

The evening kicked off with “Homeland,” an evocative piece that stirred deep nostalgia among attendees.

Mystic Incho’s rendition of "Love Song," complemented by an original English rap, added a modern twist. The classical dance "Hidden Dragon" captivated the audience with its intricate choreography, while

Shirley Xu’s modern dance piece powerfully conveyed the emotional turmoil of heartbreak. Li Zhentao’s vocal performances of "Pastoral" and "Return to Sorrento" received enthusiastic applause, further elevating the evening.

"Homeland" Featured Soloist Bella Wang, Alliance Arts Department & Executive Committee

Spanning nearly two hours, “Artistic Spectrum” featured 18 performances, including songs, dances, comedic skits, musical theater, instrumental pieces, Chinese Opera, and fashion shows. Each act showcased the exceptional talent and creativity within the Alliance. As the event concluded, the director and performers exchanged heartfelt bows, leaving the audience profoundly moved and appreciative of the remarkable cultural celebration.

The success of “Artistic Spectrum” reaffirmed the Alliance’s pivotal role in bridging diverse artistic traditions and fostering community spirit. The event not only celebrated the talents of its participants but also strengthened the Alliance’s mission to promote cultural understanding and unity through the arts.

Man accused of prowling Menifee apartment houses charged with burglary

By City News Service

A29-year-oldman accused of prowling around Menifee apartment complexes in an attempt to commit burglaries, going into one residence and fleeing when the occupants awoke, was charged Tuesday with first-degree burglary and other offenses.

Irving William Firtha Morrison of Menifee was arrested Thursday by Menifee Police Department personnel during a stakeout.

Along with burglary, Morrison is charged with sentence-enhancing allegations of engaging in violent conduct and perpetrating acts that pose a "serious danger to society."

He pleaded not guilty during an arraignment

Tuesday afternoon before Riverside County Superior Court Judge Jeff Zimel, who scheduled a felony settlement conference for Oct. 9 at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta.

Morrison is being held in lieu of $35,000 bail at the Byrd Detention Center.

According to the Menifee Police Department, detectives initiated an investigation in early September after receiving reports of an unknown man clad in dark clothing, roaming through apartment buildings in the predawn hours, grabbing door handles and pushing on doors to find ones that weren't locked.

"Several (security) recordings of this individual were shared on social media plat-

forms," police spokesman Chase Coburn said.

He said that, in one instance, the prowler "entered an occupied home through an unlocked door but quickly fled when the residents awoke."

Detectives began carrying

out surveillance operations where they expected the prowler to appear and hit pay dirt in the early morning hours Thursday in the 30400 block of Town Center Drive, near Park Plaza Avenue, Coburn said.

"Detectives observed a

subject matching the description of the person described in the previously reported incidents," he said. "When detectives attempted to contact the subject, he fled, and a short foot chase occurred before he was taken into custody."

No one was injured.

Morrison has no documented prior felony convictions in Riverside County. Coburn said the incidents serve as a reminder to residents "to keep their doors locked, even while at home, and report any suspicious activity directly to police."

Students countywide to join National Walk & Roll to School Day Maintenance on 12 San Bernardino bridges to last through February

By City News Service

Elementary and middle schoolstudents throughout Riverside County will forgo riding to school one day next week and take a stroll or roll instead in recognition of National Walk & Roll to School Day — part of an effort to promote youth exercise and pedestrianfriendly neighborhoods.

Youths from at least 20 schools countywide are expected to take part in the annual event on Oct. 9, during which parents, teachers and community- based volunteers form "walking school buses" to shepherd children to their campuses, according to organizers.

Students are also encour-

aged to ride bicycles.

"National Walk & Roll to School Day offers an amazing opportunity for families to build stronger community bonds," Banning police Lt. Brandon Smith said. "This event not only promotes pedestrian safety and advocates for safer routes for walking and biking to school, but underscores the importance of boosting physical activity among children and prioritizing their safety. It's a wonderful way to come together and make a positive impact on our children's wellbeing."

The walks will generally begin at about 7 a.m. on Oct. 9. To date, campuses

in Banning, Jurupa Valley, Menifee, Palm Springs, Perris, Riverside, Temecula and Winchester have registered for the event.

Organizers said walking programs promote a reduction in childhood obesity and stress the importance of pedestrian access and safety in traffic corridors.

Students, parents, guardians and teachers were reminded to stay on marked walking paths or sidewalks, use crosswalks, remain vigilant when going through right-of-ways and try to wear visible clothing for the benefit of motorists.

ties to "continue to receive uninterrupted service" while the Department of Animal Services was adequately compensated for use of its personnel and facilities in the current fiscal year.

That resulted in modifications to the five cities' contracts, with the county seeking to hike fees 5% across the board, which the supervisors authorized Tuesday. Under the amended terms, which take effect immediately and expire on June 30, Cathedral City will owe a total of $317,904 for animal control services, while Indio will owe $1.15 million, Perris will owe $474,141, Rancho Mirage $34,610 and San Jacinto

$939,087.

The cities did not send representatives to speak ahead of the board vote.

Erin Gettis, the Department of Animal Services' former director, signed the request for contract adjustments prior to leaving the helm last week to take an administrative position with Riverside University Medical Center in Moreno Valley.

Her nearly three years as director were plagued by criticism of policies that animal welfare activists argue led to the county's having the highest sheltered pets "kill rate" nationwide since 2022.

Caltrans will be conducting preventative maintenance on twelve bridges along Interstate 215 and Route 66 (5th Street) between Iowa Avenue and University Parkway. Work is expected to last through February 2025.

To minimize impacts to most drivers, work will occur Mondays through Fridays during the overnight hours, from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Drivers are advised that lane connector and ramp closures may take place within the project area, which will impact travel times.

“Structural improvements are critical for maintaining our roadways,” said Catalino Pining, Caltrans District 8 director. “These upgrades keep our infrastructure safe and supports longterm usability for all drivers.”

The project will include applying methacrylate, polyester concrete overlay, creating better vertical clearance and updating signs.

Drivers are reminded to reduce speed in and around the work zone.

This $5 million Bridge Preventive Maintenance Project is funded through Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

Animal control

the Rancho Mirage-based Walter Clark Law Group, is seeking a permanent injunction against the Department of Animal Services' humane euthanasia programs.

Clark called it a "groundbreaking case" that's predicated on the 1998 Hayden Act. That legislation, authored by then-state Sen. Tom Hayden, D- Santa Monica, states in part, "no adoptable animal should be euthanized if it can be adopted into a suitable home."

On Sept. 17, the board approved a $2.69 million contract with Austin, Texas-based Outcomes for Pets LLC to scrutinize animal services' operations and recommend steps to correct problems, including

shelters operating beyond capacity. The chief consultant will be Kristen Hassen, whom the county Executive Office lauded in documents

for her "expertise in animal shelter management and strategic planning."

Jurupa Valley issues drinking water warning

By City News Service and Staff

Authorities in Jurupa ValleyonFriday issuedadrinking water warning after a positive case of E. Coli was found at a local water source, then lifted the warning a day later when testing indicated the water was safe.

A positive test sample of the fecal indicator was found Wednesday, according to the Jurupa Community Services District. The sample was found before disinfection took place and was subsequently removed from the water system, authorities said.

The sample was not found in the distribution system nor the treatment system, but in a contained water source, the JCSD said.

Residents in the affected areas were urged to boil their tap water before drinking. The affected areas can be

found at the JCSD website.

The district advised residents that it is safe to bathe and wash as long as no one swallows water and if residents don't have weakened immune systems.

The JCSD distributed more than 1,000 cases of bottled water Friday afternoon and was expected to

distribute an additional 2,000 cases Saturday at the following locations: the corner of Iberia Court and Space Center Court, the northeast corner of Camino Real and Mission Boulevard and district headquarters at 11201 Harrel St.

More information can be found at www.jcsd.us.

Department of Health and Human Services recommend youth ages 6 to 17 get at least 60 minutes of exercise each day, but more than two thirds of kids, about 66%, are engaged in sports or other activities.

Nearly 10% of California youth are "never active." Less than 2 in 5, about 39%, of kids have physical education daily at school, the report says. About 58% of parents surveyed were unaware that physical education was not fully funded in schools.

Rates of physical activity are lowest for Latinas and Black/African American girls, as well as Latino youth overall and kids with disabilities. Youth with household annual incomes of $50,000 or lower, and those located in the Inland Empire also face similar challenges.

In the last two years, about one-third of youth participating in sports declined due to issues with the cost of participating, some children are not interested and others may not have the time commitment.

Parents who participated in the study say finances can be a barrier to keep their kids in sports. Nearly two-thirds, or about 63%, of parents reported they struggled to afford costs associated with sports such as equipment, uniforms, among other things.

"Sports, play and movement are essential for a child's physical, emotional, social and academic development. Disparities in access to play can perpetu-

Play equity

ate and exacerbate existing inequalities," Renata Simril, president and CEO of the LA84 Foundation, said in a statement.

"The 2024 Play Equity Report expands on research the LA84 Foundation has conducted since 2016 in LA County," Simril added. "It's a roadmap that allows us to track statewide progress in play and movement now and into the future."

While challenges remain to bolster youth participation in sports and physical activity, the report highlights two key findings to do so.

Organized sports and structured play can boost levels of regular exercise for children. Youth with physical education every day or those who are active in at least one organized sport are more likely to move five times per week or more, according to the report.

Additionally, participants of the study expressed strong support for elected officials and the state to invest in more opportunities

for sports and other physical activities.

"This report reminds us how critical play and movement are for the overall development of our kids. In combination with academics, play, sports, and physical activity, all play a vital role in nurturing their physical, social, and emotional growth," said state Sen. Josh Newman, D-Fullerton, said in a statement.

Last year, Newman authored Senate Bill 291 to ensure a uniform standard for recess across California's schools.

"The benefits of unstructured play and peer-to-peer social interactions offered by recess are more important now than ever," Newman added.

Simril noted that with global sporting events coming to Southern California, such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the state should use the economic opportunity to support youth sports and physical activities.
