Cheech museum adds over $29M to Riverside's local economy

Center for Chicano Art & Culture has infused $29 million into Riverside's local economy in its first two years, prompting city officials Friday to call The Cheech a significant economic driver in the city and a magnet for tourists from outside the area.

The Cheech, as it is popularly known, exceeded expectations when this new addition to the Riverside Art Museum drew 227,932 visitors between June 2022 and June 2024, with 90% coming from outside the area, according to the city.

“Partnerships are flourishing in Riverside, but few have proved more fruitful than the public-private moon shot we call The Cheech,” Mayor Patricia Lock Dawson said in her recent State of the City address. “And we have the data to prove it.”

Cheech Marin is among the world's leading collectors of Chicano art, and his extensive collection of paintings, sculptures, photography and video art was donated to the Riverside Art Museum for display in The Cheech.

Officials said The Cheech has become a cultural hub

attracting people from all over the world which in the process supports local tourism, helps lead to job creation and adds to the city's overall economic growth.

“I am so proud of these findings,” Marin said in a statement. “But I'm not surprised. For over 20 years, as my collection traveled the country, we saw museums experience record attendance when our exhibitions opened.

I have always said that Riverside is the next great art town, and this study proves we are

on our way.”

The city hired contractor Costa Mesa-based Boules Consulting LLC to conduct the economic study, which used attendance data, economic metrics, operation records from The Cheech and public records including hotel transient occupancy tax records, officials said.

Officials noted art center's overall economic impact. The study credited The Cheech with adding $2.2 million in

business for local restaurants, $1.5 million into local retail stores and $510,000 into Riverside hotels. In addition to boosting tourism, the art center has made significant contributions to local employment and tax revenue, the study found.

“This spending pattern underscores The Cheech's significant role as a cultural tourism driver, with nonlocal visitors consistently accounting for the majority

Clerk who joined coworker in mishandling court docs sentenced

The second of two former Riverside County Superior Court clerks who mishandled privileged information connected to a criminal case was sentenced Tuesday to one day in county jail, but after receiving credit for time served, she walked free.

Michelle Valdez, 59, of Thousand Palms, pleaded guilty in October to felony conspiracy. The plea was directly to Riverside County Superior Court Judge Joshlyn Pulliam — over the objections of prosecutors, who opposed it.

In exchange for Valdez's admission, the judge reduced her offense to a misdemeanor.

During the defendant's sentencing hearing at the Riverside Hall of Justice Tuesday, Pulliam received confirmation that Valdez had already completed 90 days of community service as a condition of her pre-sentencing agreement with the court. Afterward, the judge imposed a term of one day of incarcera-

Report: Military service members pay more for car loans

By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service

Military borrowers pay higher costs and face greater financial risks than civilian borrowers when taking out credit to buy a car - according to a new report from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The report found service members tend to borrow larger sums, at higher interest rates over longer terms.

Rosemary Shahan, president of the Sacramentobased nonprofit Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety, said yo-yo scams are common - where the victim signs an initial contract on good terms but then the dealer claims the financing fell through.

"And then they say, 'If you don't agree to sign this other contract where we're charging you for a lot of worthless add-ons you don't really want and a higher interest rate,'" said Shahan, "'then we'll report the vehicle stolen, and you'll be in trouble with your command, and it'll ruin your career.' "

The report finds many service members are young and far from family members who might help them negotiate a large purchase.

Last year under former President Joe Biden, the

Federal Trade Commission finalized the CARS rule, which would combat dishonest sales tactics. Automakers sued and last month a federal judge put it on hold.

Shahan said the CARS rule would require dealers to tell you the price up front before you even go to the lot.

"It also has additional protections for military

service members," said Shahan. "It prohibits car dealers from representing that they're somehow affiliated with the military, or have been approved by the military when that's not true, and would also require them to be more honest about the price of the add-ons and actually get your affirmative approval before adding them."

The Federal Trade Commission under the Trump administration will now have to decide whether to stand behind the rule and fight for it in court, or withdraw it.

Report: California students make modest improvements, but lag after pandemic

By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service

California's 5.8 million public school kids have made small gains in 4th grade math and reading since 2022.

They're still behind prepandemic levels, according to new data from the 2024 Nation's Report Card.

Peggy Carr is a commissioner with the National Center for Education Statistics. She said the good news is chronic absenteeism rates, which doubled during the pandemic, are dropping.

"So, some improvement

Since 2019, California grade four math scores are down 2% and reading scores are down 4%.

but not enough," said Carr.

"And this wouldn't be so worrisome if we had not found a consistent and strong correlation between absenteeism and student performance. You have to come to school to learn."

Schools in Los Angeles are a bright spot, with 4th-grade math scores

up 2% from 2019 levels. However, San Diego schools saw a 2% drop.

California students score slightly below the national average in 4th and 8th grade math and reading.

Martin West is vice chair of the National Assessment Governing Board. He noted

that fewer kids are reading for fun, and thinks the rise of screen-based childhood has big implications for education.

"I could actually imagine it being something that creates both declines at the bottom and at the same time accelerates students at the top,"

said West, "because screens can be a remarkable source of enrichment if you know how to use them right."

The report card shows there are still huge racial gaps. For example, in 4th grade math, Hispanic children make up 75% of kids who score below the 25th percentile.

Angels opt to extend lease at Angel Stadium of Anaheim through 2032

Angels Baseball is extending its lease at Angel Stadium of Anaheim through 2032. The Angels last week notified the city of Anaheim that they are exercising a three-year extension available to the team under its 1996 lease for the city-owned stadium. The extension is not the result of any long-term discussions between the team and the city, and there are no long-term lease or other talks underway. The extension is one of three three-year extensions available to the team under its lease, which runs through 2029, or potentially 2038 if all extensions are exercised. The Angels have the option of exercising extensions and notifying the city 12 months before Dec. 31, 2029, or earlier. The next extension would have to be exercised

12 months prior to December 2032, or by Dec. 31, 2031.

Fitch affirms AA+ rating of Riverside water system bonds

The bond rating firm Fitch Ratings affirmed the AA+ rating of the utility’s $202.8 million water revenue refunding bonds, $24.1 million variable rate refunding water revenue bonds at AA+/F1+ and classified RPU’s rating outlook as stable, city officials announced Monday. Fitch noted that RPU fulfills its water needs entirely through its plentiful groundwater supplies, but the utility also is well situated to handle emergency needs because of good relationships with the Western Municipal Water District and its parent Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. RPU’s groundwater supplies should be considered a “competitive advantage” in the region, according to Fitch, because other local utilities rely on imported water and as a result have more uncertainty.

Corona student found in possession of firearm

On Friday, a student on-campus at Centennial High School in Corona was found in possession of a handgun and ammunition. A Corona-Norco Unified School District (CNUSD) contracted vendor was conducting unannounced searches of the school campus using narcotic and contraband detection canines. A canine alerted on a student’s backpack and a search of the backpack revealed a handgun. The firearm was unloaded, but next to it was a loaded magazine. The Corona Police Department has full-time school resource officers at all high school campuses and an officer was onsite during the canine search. The officer arrested the student, called for additional resources, and they initiated a School Threat Assessment and Response (STAR) Protocol investigation. If you have information regarding this incident, call School Resource Officer Eric

First 5, Public Health team up to give Ontario preschoolers free dental screenings

Did you know tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease in the U.S.? February is National Children’s Dental Health Month, and First 5 San Bernardino teamed up with the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health’s Smile SBC program to help families make dental care a priority for young children. The “Little Teeth, Big Responsibility” campaign kicked off on Jan. 30 at Hawthorne Elementary School in Ontario, where 48 preschoolers enjoyed free dental screenings, teeth brushing tips and a surprise visit from Potter the Otter. The annual campaign encourages parents and caregivers of young children to start good dental care habits early because healthy baby teeth form healthy adult teeth. This means establishing daily brushing routines, avoiding sugary drinks and taking their baby to the dentist by their first birthday or first tooth.

With

'giving circles,' anyone can be a philanthropist

By Anna Patton, Reasons to be Cheerful via Stacker

When Las Vegas resident Maureen Romitowas nearing retirement, she knew she wanted to give more money to good causes. But there were two problems. First, she was not wealthy: "I couldn't become who I think of as a typical philanthropist in the United States — someone with the last name of Gates or Buffett or Musk, somebody that makes a lot of money."

Second, it was hard to know who to give to. "There were so many different causes, so much need out there," she said. "If I give $25 to one group, and $50 to another, what difference am I making?"

Then she discovered giving circles: groups where members pool their donations and decide together where to allocate them, Reasons to be Cheerful reports. In 2012, inspired by similar efforts in Austin, Texas, Romito set up Impact Las Vegas, a giving circle for women who want to help their community. Members donate a minimum of $1,000 each year, which is pooled into one large grant. Local nonprofits apply, and members whittle them down to one lucky recipient. Last year, having grown to more than 100 members, Impact Las Vegas gave $113,000 to a nonprofit providing school supplies to children in need.

Giving in this way addresses several concerns. The impact of Romito's relatively small gift is multiplied, creating one large grant that can be "transformative" for the recipient. As a donor, she gets to hear about the difference it made, which is not usually possible with much smaller gifts. And choosing an area of focus draws on the combined knowledge and experience of the group.

"That's the wonderful thing — it's really based on the need we see in our own community, and it changes every year," she said.

As old as humanity

Giving circles are widespread — and growing.

Between 2017 and 2023, Philanthropy Together, a U.S. nonprofit that supports this movement, identified nearly 4,000 collective giving groups in the U.S., involving 370,000 people giving more than $3.1 billion. It expects this to double within the next five years.

While the modern American giving circle rose to prominence in the past few decades, the underlying concept is "as old as humanity," said Ilyasah N. Shabazz, who leads operations and communications at Philanthropy Together.

There are long traditions of mutual aid and solidarity among marginalized communities, and giving together occurs in many cultures — from "tandas" in Mexico to "gehs" in Korea and "sou sous" in West African countries.

"They have a different name, but it's the same core principle of collective giving and collective generosity," Shabazz said.

Today's giving circles vary widely. Some involve groups of friends; others are more formalized, with hundreds of members. Some focus on a locality; others are united by identity, such as the group of Black philanthropists supporting Blackled nonprofits, of which Shabazz is a member. Some require significant outlay, but many set the bar much lower — like the Cornwall Women's Fund in the U.K., whose members need only commit to £10 per month.

What they all do is challenge conventional notions of what it means to be a philanthropist.

"When we talk about philanthropy, we think of the big tech billionaire — that kind of world," said Emma Beeston, a U.K.-based philanthropy advisor who set up a giving circle in her hometown, the Bath Women's Fund. "I think the joy of giving circles is they counter that: It's not just one person saving the planet, it's actually in our communities. How do we come together to make

things better? How do we do that with relatively modest sums that lots of people have access to?"

Giving circles may also offer safety in numbers, Beeston said — because getting into philanthropy can attract scrutiny and even criticism. And they remove the need to be an expert in any particular area, since members commit to learning together. Indeed, many of those joining giving circles are new to philanthropy. With generosity apparently declining in both the U.S. and the U.K., encouraging these newcomers may be more important than ever.

Neglected causes

The LA Latino Giving Circle invests in grassroots, Latino-led organizations in Los Angeles that address racial disparities and inequality. Among its members is 33-year-old Steven Almazan, whose parents immigrated from Mexico, and whose own education was supported by Latino professionals.

"This is my way of giving back," he said.

Anyone able to donate $1,000 annually can join, and much of Almazan's work in encouraging new members involves "demystifying" the concept of philanthropy.

"We want to be clear that anyone can be considered a philanthropist, no matter their wealth," he explained. "This is philanthropy for the people, by the people, and there's something beautiful about that."

That approach also influences who gets funded. Less than 1% of U.S. philanthropic money goes to Latino communities, Almazan pointed out.

"So, we've developed this mantra: if traditional dollars are not going to Latino communities, then philanthropists like ourselves, from our community, are going to invest in Latino communities," he said.

Last year, the group gave nearly $40,000 to Somos Familia Valle, an LGBTQ+ organization working on racial, gender, and economic

justice.

The focus on causes overlooked by mainstream philanthropy is common among giving circles, according to research in 2023 by Philanthropy Together and others. Possibly connected to this, giving circles are particularly popular among demographics less represented in billionaire giving: 60% of the groups it studied were made up entirely of women, with donors of color making up a "substantial" proportion.

Schools of democracy

The benefits of giving circles go beyond hard cash: Members might offer time or expertise, too. The LA Latino Giving Circle also encourages civic engagement, for example, by facilitating discussions between its members and local policymakers.

Even discussions within groups may have wider benefits. Deciding which causes matter most is often tied to personal values, and there is rarely one right answer. Such decisions need to be made collectively — whether by consensus or majority vote — meaning giving circles are "schools of democracy," according to Philanthropy Together.

Shabazz said this is good both for "personal growth" and for wider society: "We're participating in a democratic process and flexing those skills."

Other benefits cited by

givers are the sense of belonging and community, as well as the chance to grow one's professional network. They may also feel a stronger sense of agency. In one study of Latino giving circles, 68% of members said they felt more confident about being able to change their community, and around three-quarters realized their voice mattered on social issues.

Challenges

Modern giving circles are not just popular in the U.S. China has seen momentum in the past decade. Singapore and Germany are also worth watching, Shabazz said. But the concept remains relatively unknown. A 2018 study identified just 65 giving circles in all of Europe; U.K. circles are still quite rare.

Nor are they always easy to run — not least because they rely heavily on volunteer time. It can be harder to attract members where people feel less connected to the place: Las Vegas, for instance, is a very transient city, Romito said.

And even though they're seen as more democratic than top-down models of philanthropy, giving circles aren't perfect. Women-only groups seem to prioritize certain causes, such as children's rights or health care, Romito noted, meaning things like culture or the environment get much less attention.

Nor are they immune to criticism. One giving circle recently faced backlash for what nonprofits described as an onerous and stressful application process that only resulted in one winner. Shabazz said that Philanthropy Together encourages giving circles to consider equity and justice throughout their processes.

For their biggest fans, the challenges are well worth it. Romito, now 70 years old, described the experience as "probably one of the most rewarding things I've ever done." That's partly because she has been able to put her skills gleaned from a career in HR to good use, working on processes and organizational development.

But above all, she feels she is contributing in a meaningful way.

"It makes me feel so grateful that I have this way of making a difference in my community, when I don't have a ton of money," she said. "I do feel now like I may be related to Bill Gates or Warren Buffet. That's just as good."

What’s the biggest misunderstanding in the modern workplace? It’s that HR is your friend.

You’ve probably heard the rumors. HR is there to help you. If you’re having a problem with a coworker or your boss, you should call HR. They’ll sort it out for you. They’re there to help the little guy. HR will stick up for you.

Does this sound familiar? If so, your HR department has done a great job with their own PR. And, it makes sense. HR departments want you to feel comfortable with them. They also often help to facilitate things like company holiday parties. They help with responsibilities that almost feel paternal, such as helping with health insurance, performance reviews, and vacation.

But the truth of the

Sean Baker won the Directors Guild of America award for "Anora," Saturday, eclipsing Edward Berger for "Conclave" and James Mangold for "A Complete Unknown."

Since 1948, there have only been eight times that the winner of the DGA award for feature film directing has not gone on to win the Oscar for best director. The most recent time was in 2020, when Sam Mendes won the DGA Award for "1917," but the Oscar went to Bong Joon Ho for "Parasite."

Christopher Nolan won the DGA Award and the Oscar last year for "Oppenheimer."

Career corner: HR is not your friend

matter is a little different. HR is there to protect the company. You heard that right. HR is responsible to protect the company, not the employees. And, in situations where the company is protecting an employee, it’s because they are hoping to protect the company from a potential lawsuit.

You heard me right. I know it can be shocking, but it’s true. So, how can this impact your job, and what should you do?

Many employees who are having a problem with a colleague or boss will turn to HR for help first. They’ll call at the first sign of trouble. HR will welcome the employee with open arms. The employee will feel comfortable to vent all of their frustrations about their boss.

The problem is, this can backfire fast. One minute, you feel like they're enlist-

ing the help of HR. The next minute, they've got their eye on you, and your boss isn't happy. I don't think I've ever heard of a situation where going to HR resulted in an improved situation with a boss. But, I've heard of many situations where someone was fired or pushed out shortly after talking to HR. On top of looking out for the company's best interest, HR is not made up of therapists. They're not there to help sort out personality differences.

Now, don't get me wrong. If you are being harassed or something illegal or dangerous is going on, HR may be the answer. But, for many other issues, they are not.

Rather than go to HR, you should start by trying to talk to the person directly. Although it can be hard, direct conversations can sometimes help to resolve problems and increase trust. If this doesn't work or is not an option, you may want to consider speaking to the person above your boss. Or, you may want to talk to someone else in a leadership

role. Sometimes, those in leadership can help you to navigate a tricky situation. I know work can be tough. I've been there. But, call a friend. Call a therapist. Call your mom. But, think hard before you call HR. They are not there to be your friend.

'Anora' wins Directors Guild, Producers Guild awards

By City News Service

Angela Copeland, a leadership and career expert, can be reached at www. angelacopeland.com.

In the comedy series category, Lucia Aniello won for "Hacks."

In the category of movies for television and limited series, Steven Zaillian took home the prize for "Ripley." Ang Lee, best known for helming films including "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," "Brokeback Mountain" and "Life of Pi," received the DGA's Lifetime Achievement Award.

On the small screen, FX's Emmy winner and awardsseason favorite "Shogun" won in the drama series category.

A complete list of winners is online at dga.org "Anora" also was the winner of the coveted Producers Guild of America Award for best motion picture Saturday evening, an honor that traditionally foretells success on Oscar night.

The PGA honor is traditionally a strong indicator of which film will win the best picture Oscar. Since the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences expanded from five to 10 nominees in 2010, only four films have won the best picture Oscar without first winning the PGA Award.

Last year, both honors went to "Oppenheimer."

This was the second time in two nights the comedy-drama about the beleaguered marriage between Anora (Mikey Madison), a sex worker, and Vanya Zakharov (Mark Eydelshteyn), the son of a Russian oligarch, won a best picture award. "Anora" also had won at Friday's Critics

Choice Awards.

The PGA's animated film winner was "The Wild Robot." It also won at the Critics Choice Awards.

On the small screen, "Shogun" took home the hardware for the drama series prize. The comedy winner was "Hacks." Both also won at the Critics Choice Awards.

The 36th annual Producers Guild Awards was presented at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Century City. The guild previously partnered with the Entertainment Community Fund to establish a relief fund for producers of film, television and emerging media impacted by the Los Angeles-area wildfires. A portion of proceeds from the PGA Awards will also be donated to the fund.

California lawmakers look to block ICE near schools, advocates sound the alarm

By Alex Gonzalez, Producer, Public News Service

Californiastate lawmakers are taking action to enact safeguards against federal immigration enforcement.

Last year, state Sen. Lena Gonzalez, D-Long Beach, introduced Senate Bill 48, which would block immigration enforcement from happening near schools. It would also seek to keep California's status as a sanctuary state, which also is one of the things on President Donald Trump's chopping block.

Data show that more than 1 million U.S. citizen children in the state live with at least one undocumented family member.

Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner, executive director and CEO of the social welfare group MomsRising, said they're hearing from folks and students around the country who say Trump's directives are inciting fear in children and families that could have

short- and long-term consequences.

"A terrified child in a classroom full of fearful children can't learn or thrive, and that creating a climate of fear at schools harms every child," she said. "We will demand that our government acts humanely and with compassion."

Rowe-Finkbeiner said her organization has successfully worked with teachers to defeat book bans as well as supporting the need for civil and LGBTQ+ rights education in schools. She said this immigration fight will be no different.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta recently issued guidance to students and educators. He wants to remind people that all children, regardless of immigration status, have the right to equal access to education -which, through the Family and Education Rights and

Gaby Pacheco, president and CEO of TheDream.US, a national scholarship fund for undocumented students, said the stress children are facing today is "unimaginable." She added that the constant threats of raids at schools and the scare tactics being used are horrifying and inhumane, but added that now is not the time for people to back down.

"Immigrants are the easiest group to blame, the last ones to (get) help and the first to be discarded," she said. "We've seen it time and time again, and yet our children -our immigrant childrencontinue to dream."

Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, has said that any potential raids on schools would be assessed on a "case-by-case basis," and determined based on national security or public safety threats.

SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE NO. 2025-01

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONROVIA, CALIFORNIA AMENDING TITLE 17 (ZONING) OF THE MONROVIA MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS TO COMPLY WITH RECENT CHANGES TO STATE LAW, AND FINDING THE ORDINANCE TO BE EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT

This is a summary of the above entitled Ordinance of the City of Monrovia, which was read by title only and introduced by the Monrovia City Council at its regular meeting on January 21, 2025 by a vote of 5 in favor (Becky Shevlin, Larry Spicer, Dr. Tamala Kelly, Sergio Jimenez, and Edward Belden) and 0 opposed. The Ordinance was adopted by City Council on February 4, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, 415 South Ivy Avenue, Monrovia, California. This summary has been prepared and published in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 36933.

The State Legislature enacted another series of housing bills that collectively amended State law regarding accessory dwelling units (“ADUs”) and junior accessory dwelling units (“JADUs”). The overall intent of those bills was to increase potential ADU development on residential lots by further reducing local barriers and streamlining the ministerial review process. In order to comply with State law, the proposed Ordinance updates the City’s existing regulations pertaining to ADUs and JADUs.

PROJECTDESCRIPTION: The Applicant is requesting approval to construct three (3) residential units attachedgarages, retaining walls and a newdebris basin overa 7.8 acre parcel, which will be further into fourlots,one parcelfor each unitand one forthedebrisbasin. To facilitate theproposed development, the Project would remove the existing residence, outbuildings, and low dam and retention Access tothe Project would be provided bythe extension of the pre-existing private way that serves 343,347, and349 Highland Place.

A Tentative Parcel Map (TPM2024-0001) is required for the subdivision of the project site into four lots. A Conditional Use Permit (CUP2025-0001) is required for the use of a pre-existing private way for new Lots 1, 2, and 3. A Minor Determination (MIND2025-0001) is required to ensure the use of the preexisting private way is consistent with Monrovia Municipal Code Section 16.08.135 with respect to the number of total lots a pre-existing driveway will serve. Lastly, multiple Exceptions (ME2025-0003 and ME2025-0004) and Administrative Changes (SP2025-0001) to the Madison Specific Plan – “C Modified” development standards are proposed to address development constraints, such as topography and native vegetation that is unique to the project site, in order to reduce grading impacts and the overall project footprint. Specifically, the following yard/setback exceptions from residential development standards and administrative changes are requested.

•An Exception to allow less than a 35-foot front yard setback on Lot 4;

•An Exception to allow less than a 25-foot west side yard setback on Lots 2 and 3;

•An Exception to allow less than a 25-foot east side yard setback on Lots 3 and 4;

• An Administrative Change to allow a minimum lot width of less than 150 feet on Lots 2, 3, and 4;

• An Administrative Change to allow a reduction in the minimum building separation requirement of 90 feet on Lots 2, 3, and 4;

• An Administrative Change to allow a walled trash enclosure outside of the front yard setback

Specifically, Ordinance No. 2025-01 amends Section 17.44.005 of the Monrovia Municipal Code to update its provisions in compliance with State law regarding when a proposed ADU or JADU meets the State-mandated minimum development standards (“Streamlined Permit Process”), or the City’s local development standards (“Alternative Local Standards”).

The proposed Ordinance also includes updates to the number of units allowed on a lot with a single-family dwelling structure or a multi-family dwelling structure. In addition, as part of the Alternative Local Standards requirements, Ordinance No. 2025-01 contains updated objective design standards to require architectural consistency between an ADU and an existing or proposed primary dwelling.

Ordinance No. 2025-01 also amends the definition of “Apartment, Efficiency” in Section 17.04.080 of the Monrovia Municipal Code to reduce the minimum unit size from 220 square feet to 150 square feet to comply with State law.

The proposed Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because the Ordinance implements the provisions of Chapter 13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code and is therefore exempt from CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.17.

Mock trials

featured Santiago High School of Corona, Valley View High School of Moreno Valley, Murrieta Valley High School, MLK High, Notre Dame High and Poly High of Riverside, as well as Great Oak High School of Temecula and Temecula Valley High School.

The teams that emerge from that meet will move on to the semifinal round on Thursday at the Riverside courthouse. The final round is slated for Tuesday, Feb. 18, also in Riverside.

As of press time the school district had not announced the four teams that advanced to the semifinals.

The meets generally are not open to the public, except by special permission of the Superior Court or Office of Education.

The contest, which regularly draws about 400 students for the initial rounds, returned to in-person activities instead of virtual ones in 2023 after the public school system rescinded COVID-driven restrictions on gatherings that were in place during the 2021 and 2022 events. The 2020 competition was held prior to the school closures.

The Office of Education, in partnership with the Constitutional Rights Foundation, Riverside County Bar Association and the Superior Court, sponsor the competitions annually.

The county began holding student-level mock trials in 1983. More than 14,000 youths have participated since then, organizers said.

This year's contest has challenged participants to successfully argue the fictitious case of People v. Gold, involving an alleged kidnapping amid a heated local political race in the make-believe community of Emerald Bend, California.

The defendant, Logan Gold, is accused of abducting his wife's rival candidate in a city council election to prevent the victim from appearing for a scheduled debate.

Students have been tasked with analyzing forensic evidence, admissibility of statements, possible due process infringements and other matters during the trials.

Teams consisting of eight to 25 students play

the parts of deputy district attorneys, defense attorneys, bailiffs, witnesses, clerks and investigators. Contestants are given an allotted time, generally four to six minutes, at each stage of a proceeding, including opening and closing statements and cross-examinations.

Practicing attorneys and judges assess students' performance, awarding points in accordance with criteria established for the contest.

"Mock trial has a rich history in Riverside County with ... current legal professionals, who credit their experience in mock trial with instilling a passion for the law at an early age," Gomez said.

Students from public and private high schools may take part.

The 2025 championship team will represent the county in the California Mock Trial Competition, tentatively scheduled for March 14-16 in Los Angeles.

Poly High won the county's 2024 contest — the 20th championship title for the school.

Forecasters: Rainstorms barrel toward Inland Empire, bringing flood risks

By City News Service

Heavy rain — and snow — are on the way and will saturate the Inland Empire, beginning midweek, as storms roll out of the Pacific Wednesday aboard an atmospheric river, forecasters said.

"This plume of moisture is rather deep, so confidence is high that Wednesday, we'll get widespread rain spreading across the entire region," the National Weather Service said in a statement. "There may be some decrease in rain late Wednesday into Thursday morning. Then a second plume of moisture arrives Thursday with a more organized trough to provide a little more energy and precipitation output, lasting through Friday."

The chances of rainfall throughout the region are better than 80% Thursday to Friday, according to meteorologists. "Orographics will come into play with lifting over mountains, enhancing the rainfall there," the NWS said in a statement. "This will be especially effective in the mountains of San Bernardino County. Snow levels will be rising as the precipitation arrives. Some snow could fall at 5,500 feet Wednesday morning before the snow levels rise to over 7,000 feet Wednesday night and over 8,000 feet late Thursday."

The Weather Service cautioned that the strength

LGBTQ+ History and Archives of the Desert seeks interview subject nominations

By City News Service

The Palm Springs-based LGBTQ+ History & Archives of the Desert is seeking interview subjects as part of its "Oral Histories Project," the organization announced Wednesday. Selected nominees will undergo an initial screening before scheduling a recording session at KGAY radio studios or

remotely, the communitybased archive said Tuesday evening.

This project, spearheaded by a subcommittee led by KGAY CEO Brad Fuhr, seeks to "capture and preserve the oral histories of the community which are a vital part of the history of the Greater Palm Springs area."

"Through our efforts to uncover and share LGBTQ+ history, we aim to illuminate the stories and experiences of those who fought for LGBTQ+ rights, fostering empathy and understanding while working towards a future where everyone can flourish, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity,"

of these low pressure troughs is greater than what the region has experienced so far this winter.

"This will be definitely our wettest storm period in the past year," the agency said. "The deep moisture of both of these waves raises concerns for flooding, especially in recent burn scars."

No advisories had been posted as of Monday morning.

The NWS predicted 2 to 3 inches of rain likely in valleys and other lowlands west of the inland mountain ranges Wednesday to Friday, while desert locations may see anywhere from .5 to 1.5 inches over the same period.

"Snowfall above 8,000 feet could pile up to 18 inches or so, but less than 3 inches below 7,000 feet," according to the agency.

High temperatures in the Riverside metropolitan area Wednesday will top out in the mid 50s, with overnight lows in the low 40s.

The temperature bands will be almost identical for the Coachella and Temecula valleys.

For the weekend, skies will clear, with mostly sunny conditions region- wide, and the mercury generally will climb back into the upper 60s and low 70s during daylight hours, dipping to around 40 at night, forecasters said.

said Archives co-founder David Gray. "Our ultimate goal is to create a society that embraces equality and justice, nurturing empathy and compassion, contributing to a more inclusive world."

Local residents can nominate themselves or others by visiting lgbtqpshistory.org.

Famed Dickens Festival returns to downtown Riverside next week

By City News Service

The celebrated Riverside Dickens Festival will return to downtown Riverside next week, boasting entertainment reminiscent of Victorian-era London and the life and times of author Charles Dickens.

Most of the 32nd annual fest's activities will be held Saturday, Feb. 22, and Sunday, Feb. 23, in White Park, at the intersection of Chestnut and 10th streets.

"Step back in time and join us for a magical journey to the Victorian era at the Riverside Dickens Festival," according to DickensFest. com. "Enjoy immersive historical re-enactments, captivating performances, literary discussions and interactive workshops that celebrate Victorian life here and in England. This event promises fun and educational experiences for all ages."

The unofficial opening of the festival will take place

the night of Friday, Feb. 21, at First Congregational Church, 3504 Mission Inn Ave. The exclusive event, titled "An Evening in a Victorian Pub," will include ale, wine, barbecue meatballs, "Les Folies Rouge" and "The Trial of Mr. Pickwick" -- a character from Dickens' 1836 novel, "The Pickwick Papers."

The main fare will get underway Saturday morning in White Park, where an "Authors' Salon" will be on display, featuring the works of Jane Austen, Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde, Sir Richard Burton and others performed by actors. There will additionally be parades, live music and whodunit mysteries to solve. Toward the end of each day, "Knighting Ceremonies" presided over by Queen Victoria and her royal retinue are planned. Merchants will additionally

be selling food and wares that resemble a 19th century London bazaar, interspersed with caroling, dancing and games.

Last February, the hosting venue was the Jensen Alvarado Historic Ranch & Museum, near Flabob Airport in Jurupa Valley. The decision to relocate the event from its traditional place along the Main Street pedestrian mall, between Mission Inn Avenue and 11th Street in Riverside, was cost-driven.

Organizers said setting up security barriers and cordoning off streets required paying escalating municipal fees that the fest couldn't afford. The Alvarado Historic Ranch & Museum, part of the Riverside County Park & Open Space District, offered a more economical option.

Access to White Park will require tickets for admission, which can be purchased

at events.humanitix. com/2025-rdfwhitepark.

The fest was nearly nixed completely in February 2021 amid the COVID lockdowns,

but organizers managed to throw together a virtual presentation featuring profiles of Dickens' stories online.

In-person activities returned in February 2022.

Man suspected of inappropriate relationship with a minor arrested

By City News Service

A56-year-oldLa Quinta man suspected of engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a minor and methamphetamine possession has been taken into custody, authoritiesannounced Friday.

Rolando Garza was taken into custody Feb. 7 around 1:50 p.m. following the execution of a search warrant by the Riverside County Anti-Human Trafficking Task Force, with the assistance of Coachella Valley Violent Crime Gang Task Force personnel in the 50-000 block of Calle Quito in La Quinta, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.

Garza was booked into the John J. Benoit Detention Center on suspicion of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, oral copulation with a minor and possession of methamphetamine, sher-

iff's officials said. Anyone with additional information regarding the alleged inappropriate relationship was urged to call RCAHT Task Force Lead

tion in county jail, but then credited Valdez with time she had already spent behind bars immediately after she was arrested, permitting the defendant to go free.

Her co-defendant, 49-yearold Angela Franz of Thousand Palms, was sentenced in December by Superior Court Judge David Gunn under a similar arrangement that resulted in "terminal disposition" — no probation, community service or other requirements imposed on her.

Franz's plea had also been directly to the court, and as in Valdez's case, the judge reduced her conspiracy charge from a felony to a misdemeanor. The District Attorney's Office objected to the deal.

According to prosecutors, the two women were assigned to the Larson Justice Center in Indio when the offenses occurred in January 2020.

Prosecutors said a law enforcement officer submitted a search warrant request and asked that the docu-

ments remain under seal due to confidentiality concerns and to prevent the investigation from being compromised.

A judge signed the warrant the same day and ordered it sealed, according to the DA's Office.

"Franz pulled the warrant from the court system, printed it, and then provided it to Valdez," according to an agency statement released after an indictment against the pair was unsealed. "Both defendants had been court

clerks for several years and would know that reviewing, printing and sharing a sealed court document in this manner would be against the law."

A possible motive was not disclosed.

The case was taken before the 19-member county grand jury in June 2022, resulting in the indictment against both women, neither of whom had prior misdemeanor or felony convictions.

Soon afterward, their state employment ended.

San Bernardino sheriff's deputies do homeless outreach operation

By Staff

Arecent outreach operation by county sheriff's deputies in San Bernardino's unincorporated areas and surrounding areas resulted in nearly two dozen people experiencing homelessness receiving referrals to assistance programs and "follow-up professional services," county officials said last week.

On Jan. 31 from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., the sheriff’s Homeless Outreach Proactive Enforcement, or HOPE Team conducted another Operation Shelter Me outing in the San Bernardino area.

This initiative aims to connect staff with unhoused residents, offering them housing, medical and mental health treatment services. During this operation, the team focused on

individuals with significant mental illnesses with the goal of linking them with "restorative mental health pathways," according to a county statement.

Deputies located 27 county residents who were unhoused and provided 19 individuals with referrals to assistance programs, officials reported. The HOPE Team connected "two individuals with follow-up professional services."

In June 2023, the county opted into Laura’s Law, also known as Assisted Outpatient Treatment, which provides opportunities for court-ordered medical treatment options for people who have histories of hospitalization, incarceration or violence. Deputies, however, did not identify any potential

candidates for assisted outpatient treatment during the Jan. 31 outreach effort.

The HOPE Team and other outreach workers will do similar operations countywide throughout the next year with funding from the Community Concerns program. Officials said "this special funding" approved by the Board of Supervisors enables the sheriff’s department "to address topics of concern, such as homelessness and mental illness, for county residents," officials said.

To report individuals experiencing homelessness who need services, authorities asked the public to contact the HOPE Team by phone at 909-387-0623 or via email at hope@sbcsd. org.

Pretrial motions set Thursday for man accused of fatally stabbing his mom

Pretrialmotions were slated to begin Thursday ahead of jury selection for the trial of a Riverside man accused of fatally stabbing his 62-year-old mother.

Otis James Porter, 41, was arrested immediately after the alleged 2021 attack on Linda Coleman at her apartment in the 4200 block of Monroe Street, near California Avenue.

Porter is charged with first-degree murder and a sentence-enhancing allegation of using a deadly weapon — a knife — in the commission of a felony.

During a status hearing Monday at the Riverside Hall of Justice, Riverside County Superior Court Judge Joshlyn Pulliam conferred with the prosecution and defense regarding scheduling, and the two sides indicated they would try to be prepared to move forward with proceedings starting Thursday, provided there's a courtroom available to which Pulliam can assign the case.

Porter is being held in lieu of $1 million bail at the Robert Presley Jail.

According to Officer Ryan Railsback of the Riverside Police Department, the defendant and his mother got into an argument that escalated into physical violence on

Cheech museum

By City News Service

the afternoon of March 21, 2021, and Porter allegedly grabbed a knife and stabbed her numerous times.

"He also stabbed himself ... causing injuries to one of his legs," Railsback said. The reason for the argument was not disclosed.

Porter called 911 after his mother collapsed, telling a dispatcher that he had attacked her and injured himself in the process, according to Railsback. He said patrol officers arrived within a

couple of minutes and took the defendant into custody without a struggle.

Officers attempted CPR on Coleman, and Riverside Fire Department paramedics also tried to keep her alive until reaching Riverside Community Hospital, but she was pronounced dead on arrival.

A benefit concert in May 2022 and the ¡DESCUBRA! event in January 2023 drove demand higher than normal in the hospitality and transportation sectors, which increased the city's

hotel transient occupancy tax revenue by $1.4 million, or 16.4% more than the previous year.

“The Cheech has been a point of pride for Riversiders since it opened more than two years ago,” Mayor Pro Tem Sean Mill said in a statement. “Now we know that our investments are paying off, and The Cheech is helping to inject money into our local economy from outside the area.”

Construction and renovation of The Cheech, which is in the space that

formerly housed the city’s Main Library, provided an $18 million economic boost, officials said, adding that print and television media coverage of The Cheech reached more than 14 million people. Officials estimated that media attention was "valued at the minimum of as much as $890,000."

The Cheech began as “Papel Chicano Dos,” a 2017 exhibition at the Riverside Art Museum that featured art pieces from Marin’s collection. The

now-flourishing art and cultural center opened in 2022 as a partnership between the city, the Riverside Art Museum and Marin.

The 61,420-squarefoot museum showcases more than 500 works by prominent Chicano artists. Previously The Cheech Marin Collection was shown at more than 50 art institutions throughout the United States.

With the right strategic planning, The Cheech is poised to increase its

cultural and economic impact, the study found.

“The Cheech has substantial growth potential,” according to the study. “As Riverside continues to grow and diversify, the museum can expand its role in both the city’s cultural and economic landscape. By maintaining innovation in programming, fostering local collaborations, and securing diverse funding sources, the museum has the opportunity to strengthen its position as

a key cultural institution and a driver of community engagement and economic growth.”

“This is just the beginning,” Patricia Reynolds, president of the Riverside Art Museum Board of Trustees, said in a statement. “We have a dynamic array of exhibitions and programs planned for the future. There is always something new to see at The Cheech.”
