Nurses on Reopening NY Schools: “A Clear and Present Danger”

By Desert Star Staff NEW YORK -- Nurses are warning that reopening New York public schools for inperson classes risks spreading COVID-19 among students, their families and school staff.

The state has approved bringing students back to

school this fall, although recent reports show young people are significant carriers of the novel coronavirus and can spread it to adults, who are much more vulnerable to the disease.

Judy Sheridan-Gonzalez, president of the New York

State Nurses Association, said they are concerned that the supply of personal protective equipment is inadequate, and that schools haven’t taken other important steps to ensure safe reopening.

“There are issues of transportation that I don’t

think have been worked out, the isolation or the need for shields,” said SheridanGonzalez. “How are people to eat? What would they do if they have a person who becomes positive?”

The nurses association called on state and local officials to postpone in-person classes and to make the investments that would make classroom instruction safe.

Sheridan-Gonzalez said the rapid spread of COVID early in the pandemic showed that planning and preparation for a return to in-person classes needs the active participation of teachers, school administrators and parents.

“One of the many errors that took place in the hospital situation was that the direct caregivers were not involved in the planning,” said Sheridan-Gonzalez, “and certainly were not given accurate information about what the preparation was.”

She emphasized that

additional revenue also is needed to facilitate at-home learning for all students.

Sheridan-Gonzalez pointed out the revenue would be available -- if New York lawmakers pass legislation to tax the types of income that benefit the state’s wealthiest residents.

“There are about five or six separate taxes that could generate billions of dollars of revenue for the State of New York,” said SheridanGonzalez, “to save hospitals from closing, to provide support for families who are paying rent or paying mortgages, create jobs.”

She said she also wants Congress to pass the Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act, which she said would help working-class New Yorkers and mitigate state and local budget shortfalls.

Find a Grill to Fit Your Style W FAMILY FEATURES

hether you’re ready for a grilling marathon or want an easy way to elevate each meal, there’s an outdoor grill to fit your style. Beyond your eating habits and schedule, understanding the many styles of outdoor grills and the benefits of each is crucial to choosing the right one for you.

Get started on your next grilling adven­ ture with advice and tips from chef Jason Morse, Ace Hardware grilling expert and owner and executive chef of 5280 Culinary, about some of the most popular options that can help you turn up the heat.

The Everyday Grill

If you’re always on the go and looking for fast and easy meals that go from prep to plate within 30 minutes, a gas grill may be perfect for you. Gas grills offer fast heat up times, higher temperatures and faster cooking. You can prepare your proteins while the grill heats up and have dinner on the table in next to no time.

Even if you’re still a grill master­in­ training, natural and propane gas grills are practically foolproof. They’re quick to ignite, require less cleanup after cooking and they’re versatile enough to allow for searing, smoking, plank, rotisserie and indirect grilling.

Temperature control knobs offer heat control for even cooking and many models also include built­in thermometers to help ensure your food is perfectly cooked every time.

Hot and fast is what a gas grill delivers, and an option like the Weber Genesis II E­325 Liquid Propane Grill features an exclusive grilling engine, three powerful burners, a grill handle light, enclosed grill cabinet for storage and smart technology compatibility.

Time for Wood-Fired Fun

Wood-fired flavor takes time to create, but you can slice a little off the wait time with a wood pellet grill. These grills have shorter heat up times, medium­to­high temperatures and enhance the food with wood flavor. Wood pellet grills are also good add-on choices for pit bosses and first-timers alike since they can be used to reverse sear or add smoke prior to searing.

Pellet grills cook foods a bit differently than other types of grills. They use wood pellets as fuel, which adds a distinct flavor profile to your foods.

Adjusting the type of hardwood pellets (such as apple, hickory, mesquite or oak) allows you to create a range of different flavors.

An option like the Traeger Ironwood 885 with Pellet Sensor can take your craft to the next level. This grill features a drivetrain designed for fast heating along with a super smoke mode, large capacity (10 chickens, seven racks of ribs or nine pork butts) and technology that lets you keep track of progress without standing over the grill.

Weekend Warrior Charcoal

Charcoal can add depth to the flavors brought about by grilling your food.

While this grill type takes a little more time to get the fire established, it is a practical choice for large groups and ideal for an afternoon to kick back and enjoy the process. Charcoal grills are some of the most economical options, but still provide a traditional grilling experience perfect for classics like juicy steaks or backyard favorites like burgers and dogs with flavors that can make nearly everyone happy.

Charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal provide the fuel, heat and smoky flavor this kind of grilling is known for by cooking low and slow or on high heat for searing. While there are plenty of different charcoal grills to choose from, one popular option is The Big Green Egg XL. It’s a

August 19, 2020

high-quality, versatile and easy-to-use outdoor cooker, offering a variety of cooking methods from traditional grilling and smoking to baking and roasting as well as precise temperature control and an efficient design to make lighting the charcoal simple.

With its selection of gas, charcoal and smoker grills and grilling accessories that can help turn your cooker into a wood-fired pizza oven, charcoal wok station or smashburger grill, a retailer like Ace Hardware is a one-stop-shop for all your outdoor cooking needs. You can also up your grilling game with rib racks, chicken thrones, Planchas (griddles) and more.

Ways to Use Charitable Deductions Effectively

By Janice Gough Now is a great time to consider gifting strategies for the next several years to maximize the tax changes for deduction purposes. The 2017 tax reform legislation package made several changes that make it especially important for “charitably inclined” people to carefully evaluate their charitable giving plans under the new law. While many people evaluate their plans to give to charity around the holidays each year, for 2020, you must consider gifting strategies for the next several years to maximize the tax

benefits of your generosity.

While obtaining tax benefits may not be the primary motivating factor for your gifts to charity, the federal tax deduction for charitable contributions can prove valuable at tax time—and, with smart planning, there’s no reason why you would need to forego these tax benefits under the new tax law.

Changes in Tax Reform Effecting the Charitable Contribution Calculus The 2017 tax reform legislation roughly doubled the standard deduction to $24,000 per married couple and $12,000 per individual. This tax law change also limits the value of itemized deductions so that fewer people will itemize under the new tax law.

For example, the deduction for state and local taxes was capped at $10,000, and the mortgage interest deduction was limited to interest on (new) mortgages of $750,000 or less. Thus some people have fewer reasons to itemize.

The charitable contributions deduction, itself, was left intact. However, you are required to itemize to claim a deduction for gifts to charity. This could exempt many taxpayers

from receiving a deduction for charitable donations, without careful planning.

One’s income-based limits restrict the charitable contributions deduction from exceeding 50 percent of adjusted gross income (AGI).

Also, if you make non- cash gifts in 2019, 30 percent of AGI is allowed if the donation is subject to capital gains treatment. The fashionable gift of appreciated stock is subject to this restrictive 30 percent limit. Despite these limits, the wealthy may still benefit from donating appreciated stock. One can even generate tax savings by giving the stock instead of selling it and paying the associated tax. Furthermore, donating appreciated stock allows one to make a more substantial gift because the appreciation in the stock’s value is essentially donated pre-tax.

Because of the expanded standard deduction, many may consider using a “bunching” strategy to consolidate charitable gifts into a single year, to cross the standard deduction threshold and itemize. For example, if you typically donate $15,000 per year to charity, you may want to consider donating $30,000 in 2021 and forgoing the

donation in 2020. Doing this would entitle you to claim the itemized deduction in 2020, rather than potentially missing out on the deduction in both years and possibly placing you in a lower tax bracket.

If you enjoy continuous support to your charity and are concerned that the bunching technique will leave the charity without a regular gift during “off” years, An easy solution would be to Set up a donoradvised fund, which would help you to achieve your goal, and maximize the tax benefits of your gifts. A donor advised fund is an account set up with a financial institution that can be funded with a large donation in a single year, however, allows you to direct funds to the charity or charities at your discretion to continue to provide a “more- steady” stream of support to the charity.

If you have reached age 70 1/2, and are taking required minimum distributions (RMDs) from an IRA type account, the “qualified charitable distribution” (QCD) strategy can be a great strategy to donate and benefit taxwise. These gifts are made directly from the IRA to the charity, and they serve to reduce the client’s RMD for the year. Simply ask the

investment company to direct funds of RMD to the charity. A QCD provides substantial tax benefits because the donation directly reduces the client’s tax liability with no need to itemize.

For example, if you are required to take a $50,000 RMD and elect to direct $20,000 to charity, your taxable income from the IRA is limited to the $30,000 balance—reducing the tax bite. It potentially causes you to move to a lower income bracket.

Conclusion There is no one-size-fits-all approach to charitable giving.

With careful advance planning, most donors can continue to support the charities of their choice while still obtaining substantial tax savings.

Embracing Virtual Meeting Function – Now and Later

By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCAL Many months now into the pandemic, some associations have stopped conducting board meetings. That is a mistake on many levels, but also completely unnecessary.

Boards do not need to govern in secret, avoiding the Open Meeting Act. Many inexpensive platforms are widely available to help HOAs conduct open and virtual meetings.

There are many platforms, and Zoom, Ringcentral, Webex, GoToMeeting, and TeamViewer are some which I have used.

Most have a free limited service version and a reasonable monthly subscription with more and enhanced features.

Here are some things to consider for HOA virtual board meetings: 1. Don’t assume this is only useful during the pandemic. HOAs may find that the option of virtual attendance in the future may increase communication and member participation. Plan on keeping the technology after live meetings are okay again.

2. Pay attention to the setup. I attended a meeting recently where the organizer forgot to give themself full control over attendees with

the ability to mute or even disconnect someone when necessary. One homeowner was long-winded and habitually talked over others in meetings. Every time the organizer muted the attendee, the attendee unmuted themselves, repeatedly disrupting the meeting.

3. Think about the sound.

One problem with mixed live/ virtual meetings is that multiple unmuted microphones at the same time will create feedback or very distracting echoes.

Also, a single laptop, tablet, or smartphone may not have an adequate microphone to pick up all the board deliberations.

A short-term solution is to make sure that the physically present directors cooperate to make sure only one microphone is on at a time.

This will slow the pace of the deliberation, but that is not always a bad thing. A longterm solution is to purchase a separate conferencing microphone/speaker to provide a single source for the audio component of those in the meeting room.

Many manufacturers have such devices, including Owl Labs, Dell, Jabra, Polycom, and others, and are priced from less than $200 to just under $1,000 for models which include cameras.

4. Think twice about recording meetings. Most August 19, 2020

meeting platforms have an option to record sessions.

However, the important facts from the meeting should be sufficiently recorded in the written minutes of the meeting. The commentary and deliberation itself may best not be recorded, because sometimes recording can intimidate and even squelch participation by those afraid to “say the wrong thing.”

5. The meeting rules still apply. Whether someone is participating from their den or in the clubhouse, the HOA’s meeting rules should be enforced. Disorderly virtual meetings are a nightmare.

6. Alert virtual participants that poorly functioning devices or poor internet connections may make it hard for some users to be heard or seen and may be prone to freezing.

Announce before the meeting that poor connections will not hold up the rest of the meeting.

7. Necessary documents such as the agenda and any other documents for members to see should be properly uploaded in advance. Screen sharing is a good backup.

8. Have a roster handy to ensure that only members log in.

9. Stay on topic and keep the meeting moving.

Have great virtual board meetings and consider keeping this connection along with live attendance when we all have the choice again.

HOROSCOPES ARIES

It would be good to study our solar system, the Earth, the kingdoms and humanity’s origins (esoterically). As you learn about the unfoldment of humanity’s three levels of awareness developed here on Earth – how it occurs, why, and our behaviors when we are awake (Soul directed), you will learn more about your own self-identity. True knowledge creates freedom of true expression. You will then identify as one who aspires to free humanity.

Note: you need a group.

TAURUS You have been attempting to create new environments that nurture humanity’s future.

You know we must turn our attention to new ways of living in community, new ways of building, new ways of growing (catching, finding, preparing, etc.) food. Your intelligence and great love for humanity produce a fertile ground for understanding what humanity needs to maintain health and well-being. You guard resources carefully for the times ahead. You know what’s needed. Soon you will need others to assist you.

GEMINI Observing your life you will see great dualities occurring.

Dualities are good. They produce self-awareness.

When you’re self-aware, you are able to blend opposing forces into a unified whole.

You are Hermes, Mercury,

AUGUST 19 – 25, 2020 ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST BY RISA D’ANGELES

messenger of the gods.

Always speak from the heart.

When you do so, others begin to emulate you and this helps in the creation of Goodwill and Right Human Relations. Then Venus appears, and love and beauty, too, in your world.

CANCER At times you’re self-conscious, attempting to hide under your shell like a tortoise or a scarab, a holy creature signifying rebirth. There’s a turtle here that, on hot days, comes to the door. He waits patiently for the door to open and to be offered a banana.

He enters the house, eats and then rests awhile in the cool dark shadows. Later, he walks back to the door and waits patiently again for the door to open. Rested and refreshed, he re-enters the world. You are to be like that turtle.

LEO To many you are often a “field of fire”, a burning ground, filled with fiery intentions and a fiery will to be seen, heard, praised, recognized, known and understood. What most people don’t realize is that you hide your spirit behind these aspirations. You can be called narcissistic, a mirror gazer, one focused on the self alone.

Some of us, however, know that you are learning how to identify yourself, learning to create, learning how to rule and lead, and that you stumble along, falling, most of the time. Here, let us help you.

VIRGO

So often, your actions are misunderstood. Virgos, no matter what they are doing, no matter what others think, always hold a secret, always pregnant with new realities, new ideas, new ways to order and organize the world.

They are true servers. Virgos eventually realize everyone carries a different light (or darkness) and each person is aspiring to be the “water bearer”. Virgos are now caring for and tending to the new Aquarian light to be birthed at 2020 winter solstice.

LIBRA You’re developing a sense of self on your own. Without this step, you would feel controlled by others. Now no one is controlling you. Libra looks to others for a sense of self.

Relationships define Libras.

As they juxtapose (compare, contrast) self to the “other”, a Libran sense of self comes forth. Human contact releases Love/Wisdom within the life of a Libra. We must let them be, allow them to sort out realities and achieve independence.

Then they becomeexalted.

SCORPIO Scorpio is known for depth of feeling, being alone and isolated (at times). To proceed on the evolutionary (back to spirit) path, Scorpios must develop the higher mind (Soul’s wisdom), which can distribute the Plan of God to the world. In other words, Scorpios must withstand the heat of the Sun while standing on the mountaintop,

collect the light and anchor it upon Earth. You are to reveal through this light, all the mysteries you’ve encountered.

In this life, your last lives and all the rest of your lives to come. Ponder upon this.

SAGITTARIUS The life of a Sag reveals so many influences at work. In Sag, the higher and lower selves (personality and Soul) attempt fusion. When this seems to fail, questioning and confusion come forth.

During Leo, the diffused light in Cancer (nourishment) becomes the focused light of the Soul. To fuse and balance your personality with the Soul (ending confusion), recite the Soul invocation daily (ceaselessly). “I am the Soul.

I am Light Divine. I am Love.

I am Will. I am Fixed Design.”

Because you know you’re not your body, emotions, or lower mind. You are a Soul.

CAPRICORN Whenever there is conflict (occurring now everywhere on Earth), a new learning is coming about; the previous harmony is being disrupted so a new harmony can emerge.

Perhaps you experience inner conflict between personal aspirations and the needs of others. You find yourself always shifting and reorienting your needs so the “little ones” are nurtured. Actually, you’re a mentor for others to transform, to grow in awareness and to stand in a state of grace...where you stand, always. You are valuable.

AQUARIUS You’re in an interlude in order to balance, consider and choose your next creative outlet. This isn’t a time for excessive interactions. It’s a time to modify your energies, focusing on your creative endeavors and the creative use of your will. Often you see and hold opposing forces in check while also attempting to hold a position of balance.

You explain this to others standing on the “razor’s edge.”

Carefully you lead the way down the mountain to safety.

PISCES A love-filled state will seem to touch your mind and heart this month. The Sun expresses itself through your ability to work through any necessary difficulties, disharmony and/ or strife, Eventually these produce within you a new state of harmony. Home is where we find you. Wherever you are, a sense of home begins to form around you.

You offer truth and reality while radiating healing and wholeness. However, everyone will not understand this. Have courage. Remain poised.

CA Group Plans High School Voter Registration Week

Seventy percent of 18-to-24-year-old Californians in a recent YouGov survey say they are registered to vote. (Adobe Stock/Darylann Elmi)

By Desert Star Staff LOS ANGELES -- Civic engagement groups are planning a week-long virtual push next month to register high school students to vote.

The latest survey from the University of California

4

DesertSTAR

shows an upswing in civic participation among 18-to24-year-old Californians.

More than half say they intend to vote in November, compared to a youth turnout of less than 40% in 2016.

But new voter registrations

have sharply declined since the pandemic began.

Laura Brill, founder and director of the Civics Center, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit working to improve youth voting rates, wants to reverse that trend.

August 19, 2020

“We’re just going to miss out on the energy and enthusiasm and creativity of these recent graduates and other other young people,” Brill said.

Motor Vehicle Departments, where eligible California voters are automatically registered unless they opt out, have been closed to stop the spread of the coronavirus. And concerts and sporting events -- places where, without the pandemic, there would have been registration drives with voter information -- have been cancelled.

The online High School Voter Registration Week event starts September 21.

Brill said there’s a misconception that historically low youth participation rates mean younger voters are either apathetic or self-centered.

She disagrees, and said lots of young people really care about each other, their families and their communities.

“A lot of what stands in the way is lack of a cultural

context in which they can really see themselves participating,” she said.

California is one of 15 states that allows pre-registration, so 16- and 17-year-olds can fill out forms that become active when they turn 18. Brill said this system also gives young people time to understand their roles as voters.

“People think there couldn’t be much that happens in high school because kids aren’t 18 yet. But there’s a lot of organizing and action and development of civic engagement,” she said.

In the last two years, California’s pre-registration rate has grown from just under 10% to just over 17%.

Brill said she hopes through efforts like next month’s registration week, more and more high school students will take advantage of the opportunity.

Get Curious About Your Cat’s Health

By Desert Star Staff Adopting and fostering pets continues to trend as people across the nation add furry friends to their families for company during these unprecedented times. However, building a bond is just the first step to pet ownership; curiosity and care for your pet’s health lasts its entire life.

Strong bonds with pets are among the more positive outcomes of being in quarantine. Nearly 40% of people agree they couldn’t have made it through quarantine without their pets, according to a survey by Royal Canin. However, of the more than 90 million cats in United States households, more than half do not receive a yearly veterinary exam, according to the American Pet Products Association.

Cats are typically stoic, so if they are giving obvious www.desertstarweekly.com

Teachers Paying for PPE Out of Pocket

At least $116 billion is needed to equip public schools - with masks, plexiglass, cleaning supplies, test kits and other safety measures - to stop COVID-19’s spread. (Olgierd Rudak/Flickr)

By Desert Star Staff As students head back to school, some Colorado teachers are raising their hands with safety concerns.

Kevin DiPasquale, a Denver-area 8th-grade STEM teacher and member of the American Federation of Teachers Colorado, said he’s eager to be back in a classroom with his students.

But he does not believe all schools are prepared to reopen safely, due to a lack of resources and the absence of a cohesive national strategy.

DiPasquale said teachers have had to find their own personal protective equipment (PPE) and pay out of pocket.

“Today I picked up face shields for masks for further PPE protection, and my students are coming on Monday,” DiPasquale said.

“The rest of my building is still waiting for Plexiglas dividers.”

Safety concerns over reopening schools have been downplayed by the Trump administration.

President Donald Trump has claimed the coronavirus does not pose a large risk for children. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has stated, without evidence, children block COVID-19.

In the final two weeks of July, more than 97,000 U.S. children tested positive for the coronavirus, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association. At least 86 children have died from COVID-19 since May. DiPasquale does not think risks to children should be taken lightly.

“When we have certain areas of our country that are shutting down because it’s just not safe, but schools are being encouraged or even sometimes strong-armed into opening, it points to a larger issue of the value of education and educators in our country today,” DiPasquale said.

The American Federation of Teachers estimates at least $116 billion is needed for masks, plastic shields, cleaning supplies, test kits and other safety measures,

to stop the virus’ spread.

In May, the U.S. House passed the HEROES Act, which included funding for schools, but aid packages stalled in the Senate.

President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders last weekend, but none addressed public school funding.

In the meantime,

DiPasquale said teachers and staff will do their best, and bear extra costs, to stay safe.

Singer-songwriters Shine On New Albums

The challenges of 2020 have created a perfect climate for talented singersongwriters to create great music. Look no further than a trio of superlative summertime releases available now...

Like those Fitchuk’s knockout touch in

Edwards’ sound is a blend of Americana, pop and folk blended into a signature style that is displayed majestically across “Total Freedom.” Information: KathleenEdwards.com.

Lovers of traditional blues will want get a listen to the 20 tracks on the Cody Dickinsonproduced collection which thrives on great songs and outstanding musicianship along with a heavy dose of mystery that adds to the magic of the

set (just listen to the potent title track). A celebration of the enduring genre explodes via the glorious Chicago blues-styled “Bone Deep,” a track bolstered

by Magic Mark Lavoie’s blues harp playing. While blues is definitely the defining impression across the album, there are plenty of rich shades explored across “John the Revelator.” Indeed, the funky horns-rich “It Takes a Man,” the New Orleans R&B offering “Ophelia (Oh, I Feel Ya)” and tender ballad “Applejack Brandy” are welcome inclusions on disc one; the wistful “Song for Peter,” dramatic “Language of Angels,” lovely “Moonstone Lady,” alt country rocker “Motel Laws of Arizona” and rousing “The Sun Also Rises” are among the nuggets that grace disc two. Among the illustrious artists who contribute to the power of the ambitious “John the Revelator” are the aforementioned Dickinson (the North Mississippi Allstars great plays drums, bass, guitars, electric washboard and more on the album), guitar master Samantha Fish, vocalist Risse Norman, Sarah Morrow (former trombonist for the late Ray Charles and a bandleader for Dr. John), along with many other notables.

enjoy: Mary Chapin Carpenter, Rosanne Cash Tell me more: There is a warmth and reassurance about listening to acclaimed singer-songwriter Mary Chapin Carpenter’s rewarding return “The Dirt And The Stars.” The 11-song disc is the five-time Grammy winner’s 16th studio album and another crucial addition to her celebrated discography. Written before the pandemic gripped the U.S earlier this year, the album’s songs resonate as the New Jersey native brings listeners into the intimacies of her life with some songs, and a greater understanding of the world and our place in it elsewhere.

“Farther Along and Further In” is the sumptuous opener, her superb soprano voice delivering revealing literate insights about her heart and spirit as the musical soundscape slowly arcs from a single acoustic guitar to an exquisite mix of piano, and full Americana band dynamics. The title of “It’s Okay To Be Sad” says plenty, but the song’s melancholy is offset by a joyful drive and bright melodic chorus. The nuanced and sparse “Where The Beauty Is” and “Asking for a Friend,” wry rocker “American Stooge,” buoyant “Secret Keepers” and sweeping title track are among the standouts on the disc. Every song on Artist: Mary Chapin the album rings true and Carpenter Carpenter’s powerful delivery Title: The Dirt And The Stars adds additional eloquence (Lambent Light Records) with each note.

Schools Look for Continued Flexibility to Keep Children Fed

By Desert Star Staff COLUMBUS, Ohio -Hunger-fighting groups in Ohio and other states are asking Congress to extend waivers that are helping to feed children as the coronavirus pandemic rages on.

Roughly half of Ohio school districts are starting fall classes either fully or partially remote, which makes it more difficult for traditional schoolbased nutrition programs to reach children in need.

Kimmy LoVano, director of advocacy and public education for the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, says greater flexibility is needed for take home, pick-up or meal distribution programs.

“The less red tape there is around these programs, the more efficiently we can get meals out to kids, especially as things change,” she states. “If schools are open now but they close later on in the fall, having some of these waivers in place now will make it significantly easier to for us to respond.”

DesertSTAR

More than 1,300 organizations have signed a letter asking the U.S. Department of Agriculture to extend several waivers through the Families First Coronavirus Response Act to ensure continued access to meals in the school year.

One example, says LoVano, is the need for a waiver to allow after-school meal programs to skip the enrichment activity that is currently required.

“It’s difficult to require kids to do an activity when kids can’t be in close proximity to one another, and when we’re providing a grab-andgo meal,” she points out.

LoVano also maintains, with record numbers of Ohioans turning to food banks for assistance, that the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program should be strengthened.

“For every one meal that is provided by food banks, SNAP provides nine,” she points out.

Grab-and-go meals have been helpful in expanding the reach of traditional school nutrition programs during the pandemic. (Adobe Stock) “So, SNAP is a critical tool in fighting the high rates of food insecurity that we’re seeing.

you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. Notice To Property Owner: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

Peacock Premium Offers Plenty of Free Movies Hi, there, dear readers. I hope you’re all staying well.

However, with the coronavirus lurking out there, many of us are homebound. So it’s been a time for reading, maybe cleaning and watching movies via HBO Max, Netflix, and Hulu. But if you are looking for something new entertainmentwise, you might want to check out Peacock Premium, NBCUniversal’s on-demand streaming service, which debuted nationwide on July 15.

Peacock Premium” offers hundreds of classic movies from Universal and countless shows from NBC like “Saturday Night Live.” More than 13,0000 hours of movies and shows with advertising are available for free on Peacock. However, for $4.99 a month, a Peacock Premium subscription will provide you access to exclusive content.

If you hate commercials, Peacock Premium Plus will

remove most ads for $9.99 per month, which is excellent; however, a Peacock Premium subscription does not offer as much as other on-demand services like Amazon Prime Video, Hulu or Netflix.

One day after they air, NBC’s primetime series will be available on Peacock.

The network will also provide content from such live TV shows as “The Today Show,” “The Tonight Show” starring Jimmy Fallon and “Late Night With Seth Myers.”

Some shows from other networks like “Downton Abbey,” “Ray Donovan,” and “Pawn Stars” will also air on the Peacock Network.

There are also about a dozen exclusive series and documentaries that can only be viewed on Peacock like Dale Earnhardt Jr’s documentary series “Lost Speedways” and “Psyche 2: Lassie Come Home,”

a new film that continues the USA mystery series.

Hundreds of movies from Universal Pictures are currently available on the Peacock Network, but many recent studio releases are presently absent due to agreements with FX and HBO. For example, some critical Universal pictures like “Fast and Furious” and the charming animated “How to Train Your Dragon” are currently on competing services like HBO and Amazon Prime, but eventually, they too will be available on Peacock.

On the plus side, Peacock

provides decades of classics like Alfred Hitchcock and 2013’s “Lone Survivor.”

And the new service has promised that upcoming movies like “Trolls World Tour” will eventually come to Peacock.

Attention sport’s fans.

If you don’t have access to NBC Sports, you will also be able to use the Peacock Network to watch live Premier League matches and the 2021 Olympics.

On the downside, Peacock doesn’t offer support for 4K and HDR video or

Dolby Atmos sound, all provided by Netflix. Amazon Prime and Disney Plus.

Note: Android users get access to Peacock Premium for a limited time at no additional cost. Just download Peacock on your Android device, sign up for a free Peacock account, and receive an email with a promotional code for up to 60 days of Peacock Premium, courtesy of Google. Now if only we could be as mobile as our mobile devices.
