By Desert Star Staff We are all familiar with Oscar Schindler who used his factory as a cover to save Jewish lives during the Holocaust. Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat, who led successful rescue efforts in Budapest during that era; Chiune Sugihara, a Japanese diplomat stationed in Lithuania, who provided an opportunity for Jews to flee Europe by providing them with transit visas; or Antonina and Jan Żabiński, who hid Jews in their zoo. It is 1945. Allied and Soviet armies are winning more battles against the Nazi
forces. Heinrich Himmler, commander of the S.S. and chief planner of the Jewish genocide, is aware of Germany’s desperate situation. He becomes more receptive to the idea of negotiating the release of prisoners to affect the allies to sign a treaty. On April 20, 1945, a twohour wartime meeting took place between Himmler, and Norbert Masur, World Jewish Congress Swedish delegate. The location for the meeting was Gut Hartzwalde, (thirty miles north of Berlin)

CA Teacher Shortage Persists, Hits High-Poverty Schools Hardest
A new study shows that teachers continue to leave the profession faster than they can be replaced. (szepy/iStockphoto) By Desert Star Staff SACRAMENTO, Calif. — In California and across the nation, districts are struggling to hire enough teachers. And the shortage is getting worse,
according to a new report. There remains a supply gap of about 110,000 teachers nationwide as of last school year, primarily because more teachers are quitting
or switching schools, and fewer people are entering the profession. Emma Garcia coauthored the report from the Economic Policy Institute. She said a lot of the problems
could be fixed with more investment to raise salaries, lower classroom sizes and better fund schools overall. “Working conditions, including pay, school climate and professional development, need to be improved,” Garcia said. California is in the bottom ten nationwide - 44th for per-pupil spending. However the state has spent $200 million over the past few years to attract, train and retain more teachers. A 2018 study by the Learning Policy Institute found the shortages are particularly acute in math, special education, science and bilingual education - and these issues are more severe in high-poverty school districts. It also found that school districts are increasingly hiring under-qualified applicants. Garcia said to reverse the slide and attract bright young
people to the profession, the country needs to give teachers the same respect and earning potential - as they accord other professionals such as doctors and lawyers. “It’s also a matter of societal changes, that we see teachers more like we see other professions, that we value teachers, that we appreciate the work that they do,” Garcia said. Some experts say the years of layoffs and costcutting during the recession discouraged people from becoming teachers and created so much stress on teachers that many opted to leave the profession. The EPI report also found from 2008 to 2016, the U.S. saw more than a 27 percent drop in people completing teacher preparation programs and 15 percent drop in people receiving an education degree.

Education Groups Call for Oversight of CA State Tax Credits
By Desert Star Staff SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Education groups are calling for more sunshine in the Golden State, with a bill that demands greater accountability for the billions of dollars of tax breaks California gives to commercial interests. Senate Bill 468 would sunset many business tax credits by 2023 and require that any extensions be justified with hard data. State legislative analysts would be directed to determine whether the tax credits are really bringing the benefits they promised. “The people of California give enormous tax breaks to a lot of corporations,” said state Sen.

Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, who authored the bill, “and it’s to the detriment of our schools and to the detriment of other policies, like creating more affordable housing and working on wildfires.” SB 468, which has a hearing set for May 1, targets nine of the most generous tax breaks. One, known as the “Water’s Edge” credit, determines how multinational corporations pay their state taxes. Others subsidize airline fuel on international flights or give sales-tax exemptions for animal feed, farm machinery and custom software. Each tax break has its own supporters, many of whom say the state should be morebusiness friendly, not less. The California Department of Finance estimates that, from 2008 to 2021, tax incentives will have cost the state $500 billion. Dennis Meyers, assistant executive director for government
California could join the 30 other states that require periodic re-evaluation of state tax credits. (Karen Roach/AdobeStock) relations for the California School Boards Association, said the analyses would provide lawmakers with the data to decide which tax breaks might have outlived their usefulness. “It could lead to $3 billion more a year, if all of
these show that they’re not producing and not worthy of reinstatement,” he said. “That could lead to significant investment to move that needle in per-pupil funding.” Proposition 98 requires that schools automatically get more funding as the general
fund grows. California ranks 44th in the nation in per-pupil spending, despite being the wealthiest state and the world’s fifth-largest economy. The text of SB 468 is online at leginfo. leglslature.ca.gov.

Live-stream Brings Sights & Sounds of Coachella
Large-scale art installations are a massive part of Coachella. Photo courtesy of Getty Images. By Robert Kinsler What better way to prep for hitting Weekend 2 of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival than watching hours and hours of coverage of Weekend 1 via YouTube’s three channels of continuous live-streamed performances and artist interviews? Most of the Weekend 1’s high-profile performances staged April 12-14 were streamed, so music fans who were unable to hit the festival at Empire Polo Club in Indio were able to see and hear the parade of artists showcased at the event. Goldenvoice has announced Weekend 2 (April 19-21) will also be livestreamed — go to Coachella. com for all the details. Also, the online coverage provided viewers with a close-up look at many of the one-of-a-kind, large-scale art installations set up on the expansive grounds. Here are some of the musical highlights yours truly caught over Weekend 1 courtesy of the live-stream: Kacey Musgraves made the most of her first-ever appearance at Coachellafest, performing most of her multiGrammy winning album “Golden
Hour” on Friday. Countrified pop tunes “Oh, What A World,” “Butterflies” and “Lonely Weekend” were among the shining songs she delivered flawlessly during her crowdpleasing set. In what would be the first of many high-profile guest appearances that artists would showcase over the fastmoving weekend, Musgraves welcomed 90-year-old internet star Baddie Winkle to the stage for her set-ending “High Horse.” A R I Z O N A was terrific on Saturday afternoon, thrilling with the uplifting originals “Let Me Touch Your Fire,” “Summer Days,” “Annie,” “I Was Wrong” and more. This is a young group out of New Jersey I definitely plan to catch for the first time when I hit Coachella this weekend. The group blends pop, alt-rock and dance styles with confidence and passion. Weezer was a featured artist at this writer’s first Coachella experience in 2005, performing on an impressive weekend bill that included Coldplay, Keane, New Order, and Nine Inch Nails. Fast forward to 2019, and much has changed; modern rock is no longer central to the festival and Weezer is now a bona fide veteran act. But make no mistake; the Los Angeles
quartet killed it during an hourlong hits-heavy set on the main Coachella stage on Saturday night, clearly outdistancing the set I caught 14 years earlier. Taking the stage with a driving “Buddy Holly,” singer-guitarist/ frontman Rivers Cuomo and company tore it up with “Hash Pipe” and upped the power quotient when the two members of Tears For Fears (Curt Smith, Roland Orzabal) came on stage
to perform an energetic cover of “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” (a featured cut on Weezer’s “Teal Album” released earlier this year). TLC’s Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas joined Weezer for a cover of “No Scrubs” from that same covers album, and the millennials went nuts when the band performed its faithful cover of Toto’s “Africa.” Australian troupe Tame Impala thrilled throughout their Saturday night headlining appearance at the festival, performing an enthralling 90-minute set of psychedelic pop from across their catalog. Singer-guitarist Kevin Parker noted at one point: “Guess what? This is our fourth Coachella...we came to play for all you guys.” The group then performed a dreamy take on the classic “It Is Not Meant To Be.” Other cuts delivered included gems “Let It Happen” and “Elephant” as well as newer selections “Patience” and “Borderline.” Billie Eilish not only lived up to the hype that led up to her appearance on Saturday night but in a virtual instant (with her opening cut “Bad Guy”) proved
she will undoubtedly be a top draw at any high-profile future music fests where she appears. Performing in the wake of the release of her full-length debut “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” the 17-yearold singer-songwriter jumped and sang and artfully shared haunting moodscapes with the maturity of a tunesmith twice her age. What’s more, Eilish’s genre-defying sound draws no comparisons to any other artist performing today. I can’t wait to catch her set on April 20. This year marks the third time that Scottish trio CHVRCHES has performed at Coachella. The group didn’t waste its return to the fest for another round on Sunday, kicking off its tour in support of the newly-released disc “Love is Dead.” That album’s material was well-represented in the 45-minute set, including intoxicating versions of “Get Out” that launched the outing. Other highlights included the pulsating “Leave a Trace,” tender “The Mother We Share” and the catchy dance track “Here With Me” where they were joined by guest Marshmello.

Disney’s ‘Dumbo’ Flies High at the El Capitan
The one hour animated Disney film “Dumbo” was released in 1941. Now 78 years later a two-hour liveaction remake, directed by Tim Burton, has flown into movie theaters across the nation. In the new version, written by Ehren Kruger, Dumbo is still a baby elephant with oversized ears who learns to fly, but this time his mouse mentor has been replaced by the children of Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell). Holt was a star rider with the Medici Circus, owned by Max Medici (Danny DeVito), before Holt left to serve in World War I. As the story begins, Holt returns to the circus still wearing his uniform. He has lost one arm during the conflict in France but still wants to perform his old act. Unfortunately, due to financial hard times, the circus had to sell his horses. Now that his act is no longer in the show, Max gives him a new job which is caring for the circus elephants. This includes Mrs. Jumbo who is about to give birth. When her baby is born with huge ears, Dumbo
is regarded as a little freak. Fortunately, Holt’s children, Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins) take the baby pachyderm under their wing and discover, with the aid of a feather, that Dumbo can fly. Sadly, due to an accident, Mrs. Jumbo is locked up, leaving Dumbo without his mother. Then, as in 1941 original, he comes to visit her as “Baby Mine” is sung. Soon Dumbo’s ability to fly makes headlines, and the very wealthy V.A. Vandervere (Michael Keaton) enters the scene accompanied by the beautiful French aerialist Colette Marchant (Eva Green). He wants Dumbo to be the headline attraction at his amazing amusement park “Dreamland.” He succeeds by buying the Medici Circus to acquire Dumbo. But what will happen to Dumbo, his mom and Holt and his two children? “Dumbo” is rated PG for peril, action, some thematic elements and scenes of jeopardy involving the little elephant which might be too intense for very young viewers. “Dumbo,” now playing

New Tax Research Shows Immigrants Helps Economy By Desert Star Staff Just in time for Tax Day, a new internet tool shows the tax contributions of immigrants around the country. It shows that in Missouri, immigrants paid $2.3 billion in taxes in 2017. The data disproves the myth touted by President Donald Trump and others, that immigrants are a drain on the U.S. economy. Andrew Lim is director of quantitative research with the nonprofit group New American Economy, which researched federal stats from the American Community Survey to produce an analysis by state for its “Map the Impact” web page. “We found that the net economic benefit of immigrants in Missouri is $630.1 million,” Lim said. “They’re adding more to the economy than they are taking in public services.”
The net economic impact measures the amount of money immigrants - both legal and undocumented - use in public services, from education and healthcare, to public safety and prisons. It compares those figures to how much they pay in income and sales taxes and the economic activity that prompts. The researchers found Missouri has almost 260,000 residents who are immigrants - just over 4 percent - who had $6.3 billion in spending power in 2017. Across the country, undocumented immigrants paid more than $27 billion in taxes in the same year. Lim also pointed out immigrant workers are crucial to many sectors of the economy. “As workers they fill critical gaps in the labor market, both at the high end - thinking about doctors, computer engineers, bio-technicians
A new internet data tool shows that DACA-eligible immigrants alone paid almost $1.8 billion in state and local taxes in 2017. (Alene Yukusheva/Adobe Stock) - but also at a lesser skill level, which are equally as important,” he said; “so, as farm workers, as construction workers, people who work in
hospitality and restaurants.” He added Missouri also is home to more than 15,000 immigrant entrepreneurs, whose
businesses employ about 167,000 people. The Map the Impact report is available at NewAmericanEconomy.org.
Paid Family-Leave Bill Faces CO Senate Panel
Colorado workers could be eligible for up to 12 weeks of paid family leave to care for a newborn child, if lawmakers approve SB 19-188. (Maxpixel) By Desert Star Staff A proposal making its way through the state Legislature would create a statewide insurance pool to allow nearly all workers to be with family
when health issues arise. Kathy White, deputy director at the Colorado Fiscal Institute, said the vast majority of Coloradans currently do not have access
to paid family leave. That often means people have to make a choice between a job and spending time with a newborn baby or caring for a sick family member.
“It’s a policy that ensures that the people who are least likely to have access to paid leave today are able to participate and they are able to get those benefits,” White said. Nationally, just 13 percent of workers have access to paid family leave. To pay for the policy, Senate Bill 188 says employers and workers would contribute less than 1 percent of payroll into a pool that could be tapped to pay qualified workers a portion of their weekly wage. People earning $50,000 a year would contribute roughly $3.68 a week. Critics argue the costs could be too high for businesses operating on thin profit margins. White said the proposal is supported by more than 100 organizations including small businesses and maternal
Rental Housing Costs Rising Faster than Wages By Desert Star Staff CASPER, Wyo. — Rents are on the rise in Wyoming and across the nation, according to a new report from Apartment List. Almost half of renting households nationally spend more than 30 percent of their gross income on rent, qualifying them as “cost burdened” by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Wyoming Housing Network housing counselor Charlie Jackson said it’s getting much harder for people to find housing at costs that meet the national standard.

“Incomes haven’t increased as rapidly as the cost of housing,” Jackson said. “It’s getting to the point where it’s hard even for a two-income family to be able to afford safe and affordable housing.” In Wyoming, the energy industry has long created hot markets, which hit permanent residents especially hard. Jackson said rents in Douglas, for example, are extremely high today - if you can even find a vacancy. She said it’s become next to impossible to even find space in area campgrounds. However, Wyoming ranked better than costly East and West Coast markets.
Renters in California’s Bay Area city of Fremont must earn a six-figure salary to afford a median-priced one-bedroom apartment. Jackson said to afford an average two-bedroom rental in Wyoming, workers need to make $16.46 an hour. And she noted for those living on Wyoming’s minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, even if two workers in a household put 100 percent of their earnings toward rent, there still would not be enough. Jackson said rising rents leave many Wyoming families struggling to pay for basic needs, forcing April 19, 2019
difficult trade-offs. “Which makes it very difficult to put food on the table, to pay for any unexpected medical expenses,” she said. “We see a lot of people being evicted because they are unable to pay their rent because they needed a simple car repair.”
and public health groups. She added that polling of business owners, sole proprietors, entrepreneurs and voters has shown broad support for the measure. “These programs have operated in some states successfully for decades. So I think the time is just now,” she said. “We clearly know what the problem is, we clearly know what the solution is, and Senate Bill 188 is just the path to get us there.” White said states that have paid family leave have seen better health outcomes for mothers and children, better outcomes for aging family members needing care, and more secure long-term financial stability, especially for women. The measure is set to be heard Tuesday by the Senate’s Appropriations Committee.
In 2016, there were more than 71,000 renter households in Wyoming. Jackson said the waiting list for a federally subsidized Section 8 twobedroom apartment that her group manages in Casper is at least six months, and can be as long as two years in other parts of the state. Nationally, just 1-in-4 people who qualify for federal housing assistance, public housing or vouchers actually get help.

LGBTQ Groups Praise New Adoption Anti-Discrimination Bills
By Desert Star Staff LANSING, Mich. — LGBTQ advocates are speaking out in favor of three bills just introduced in the state Legislature that would outlaw discrimination on the basis of religion or sexual orientation by state-funded adoption and foster-care agencies. The bills would reverse laws passed in 2015 that allowed such practices in the name of religious freedom. Erin Knott, executive director at the group Equality Michigan, is among the bills’ supporters. “The interests of children who are placed in foster care or adoption should be the top priority, and not the interests of the adoption agency,” Knott said. “Sexual orientation has no place or relevance in the decision about whether or not a couple can provide a good
supportive home for a child.” Senate Bill 275 would allow same-sex partners to adopt each other’s biological or adoptive children. Senate bill 273 would bar church-based child-placement agencies from refusing to adopt to couples of a different religion; and SB 273 and SB 274 would allow governments to hold agencies accountable in cases of proven discrimination. Southfield Democrat Jeremy Moss, who is Michigan’s only openly gay state Senator, said religious agencies should be free to follow their faith, but not with public funds. “We’re not preventing A new package of bills on LBGTQ adoption would reverse laws passed in 2015.

US Justice Department releases Mueller report
By Desert Star Staff The US Department of Justice has released the full report on special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into claims President Donald Trump colluded with Russia. The two-year probe ‘did not establish’ any collusion happened. Attorney General William Barr announced the report’s release at a press conference on Thursday morning. He repeated several times that the report establishes that neither Trump nor any other American “conspired or coordinated” with Russia’s supposed effort to influence the 2016 election. That effort, the report claims, consisted of the Internet Research Agency’s alleged social media manipulation, and the GRU’s supposed hacking of DNC emails and handing them over to WikiLeaks. Both have been repeated almost from the moment of Hillary Clinton’s surprise loss to Trump in 2016. The report does outline contacts between Russians and Trump associates, mostly related to business or of exploratory nature. “The Russian contacts consisted of business connections, offers of assistance to the campaign, invitations for candidate Trump and Putin to meet in person, invitations for campaign officials and representatives of the Russian government to meet, and policy positions seeking improved USRussian relations,” it says. None of those alleged contacts are sufficient to bring charges, the report admits. The released report says there’s “substantial evidence” that Trump fired FBI director James Comey,

DesertSTAR
who subsequently became a prominent ‘Resistance’ hero, for refusing to say Trump wasn’t under investigation publicly. The report claims Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr has “direct contact” with WikiLeaks during the presidential campaign. WikiLeaks allegedly sent Trump Jr the password to access putintrump. org, which appears to be a website peddling the ‘Russiagate’ narrative. Wikileaks asked Trump Jr to tweet a link to the leaked emails of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, which Trump Jr did four days later, the report claims. Mueller has already indicted 13 Russians he claimed were IRA “trolls” and 12 alleged GRU hackers, and
made no recommendations for further indictments in the final report. Russia has repeatedly denied having made any effort to influence the 2016 election. The report focuses on two main issues: Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia to tip the scales of the 2016 US presidential election, and his alleged efforts to obstruct the investigation into it. Mueller is bringing no charges on either of those but has not fully “exonerated” Trump on the obstruction allegations. The release of the full report has been craved by anti-Trump ‘Resistance’ Democrats and media alike, clinging to the Russia collusion allegations which have become known in the conservative camp as the ‘Russiagate’ conspiracy
The released version of the Mueller report is redacted to protect sensitive Grand Jury material, information theory. They have slammed on intelligence sources and Barr’s summary, as well as his materials, as well as private pre-release press appearance, information on third parties, as efforts to spin the report’s and data on investigations release in a way that would that are still ongoing. absolve Trump of blame.
