Sportswomen Call Renewed Sales of Oil and Gas Leases “Reckless”

By Desert Star Staff Sportswomen with the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) say new sales of oil and gas leases on public lands will hurt Western communities.

But that didn’t stop the Trump administration from

resuming the sales this week after a five-month pause.

Today, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management will put 94 parcels totaling 45,000 acres up for sale.

Those leases are mostly in New Mexico around

the Permian Basin in the state’s southeast corner, an area already experiencing air-quality problems.

Marcia Brownlee, program manager for Artemis, a sportswomen’s initiative at the NWF, said conservation

and recreation should be given equal consideration in such decisions -- even in a state such as New Mexico -- which is highly dependent on oil and gas revenues.

“Which is so vital to New Mexico’s economy,” Brownlee

said. “But right now, the public is being taken to the cleaners by an approach that prioritizes corporate interests over public interests.”

Creating a Stable Back-to-School Routine for Children

By Desert Star Staff If there’s one thing parents know, it’s children thrive on routines. When it seems like everything is changing, routines can create stability.

“When children know what to expect, they don’t feel powerless and out of control,” said Rashelle Chase from KinderCare Learning Centers’ education team. “Children like to plan just as much as adults do. When they know what will happen next, they can set their expectations.”

Routines can also help children regulate their emotions – and avoid meltdowns or outbursts – because their days follow a pattern and are predictable. There’s

typically a sense of comfort in knowing what comes next.

Whether your child’s back-to-school routine includes actually going to school or distance learning, consider these tips to help create a sense of stability.

Set a schedule: Talk with your child about his or her school day and how it will be different. Work together to come up with ways you can both ease into the new routine, whether your child is attending school part time, learning at home or going to a childcare center or program.

Lack of Child Care Leads to Tough Decisions for Parents

The Child Care Is Essential Act would create a $50 billion fund to ensure parents have access to affordable care. (ShunTerra/Adobe Stock)

By Desert Star Staff SUNNYSIDE, Wash. -The COVID-19 pandemic has been even harder on working

parents without child care.

Clara Vazquez of Sunnyside said she’s been looking for affordable

childcare for her seven-yearold son for four years, and that coronavirus has made that search nearly impossible.

NBC PS Nico Payne Starting Monday Riverside County schools can apply for waivers to open for in-person teaching. The waivers would only apply to certain grades and applicants will have to go through a thorough application process. NBC Palm Springs spoke to Riverside County Public health officials who explain the process.

Many families have reported issues with online learning since schools started in the past couple of weeks.

Add that to decreased coronavirus numbers in the county and we could see kids back in the classroom soon.

“At some point, later on, that is something that is possible, but right now that’s just not in the cards,” explained Jose Arballo Jr, Senior Public Information Specialist with

Riverside County Public Health.

The county’s top public health officer will review each application to ensure safety for students and teachers.

Riverside County is still on the state’s coronavirus watch list, which means inperson learning without a waiver is still prohibited.

But officials say we are headed in the right direction and could soon meet the criteria to be taken off the list.

“The positivity rate is somewhere between ten and twelve, but we want to get it to eight. the numbers are down, the hospitalizations are down, ICU cases are down, so those are all looking good,” added Arballo.

As for how soon we could see kids back in classes, it’s unclear exactly how long the application process will take.

“I don’t know if it’s a matter of days or a week or so, but we’ll process those applications once they start coming on Monday as quickly as possible, but again Dr.

Her son is starting distanced learning soon, and Vazquez said she might have to give up caring for one of her clients to ensure her son doesn’t fall behind in school.

“I might end up having to work four hours a week,” Vazquez said. “Which is not like a livable wage for us, just so I can help my son not be behind on school and everything else.”

U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., is the primary sponsor of the Child Care Is Essential Act, which includes a $50 billion fund to support child care.

Catherine White, director of child care and early learning for the National Women’s Law Center, said the childcare system is on the brink of collapse without public funding. The lack of affordable options has an impact on parents and businesses.

“Child care is really

the backbone of our economy,” White said.

“So if we don’t invest, there’s going to be serious implications for all of us.”

White said policymakers have to understand the scope and depth of the shortage.

“We need at least $9.6 billion every month for the duration of this crisis,” White said. “And $50 billion is just the sort of short-term stopgap to get us through the next five to six months of keeping our system alive.”

For Vazquez, the need is simple.

“I need to find a place where I can put my son,” Vasquez said. “So they can take care of him and make sure that he’s in a safe environment, and where I know that they’re going to be monitoring him on his schoolwork, and making sure he’s getting his school day done while I’m at work.”

Riverside County Schools Can Apply For In-Person Learning

Kaiser will be very thorough and it’s just not going to be a matter of the applications being reviewed quickly and as he said this is not a rubber stamp.”

School districts who

do not apply for the waiver will have to wait till riverside county is off the state’s watch list for 14 days Source: NBC Palm Springs

Wright contends mergers have given some large health care systems a near-monopoly in individual counties, and he thinks the public interest -- not profit -- needs to be paramount.

“If we’re going to have this consolidation transformation of our health care system, we want there to be public oversight, and not have these deals only be considered in private boardrooms,” he said.

SB 977 has already been approved by the state Senate and needs a full vote of the Assembly to advance to the governor’s desk.

IU Research Reveals Downside to Disinfectant Cleaners

By Desert Star Staff Some disinfecting cleaners being used to prevent the spread of COVID-19 actually could leave behind potentially dangerous chemicals.

Scientists from Indiana University compared dust samples collected from residential homes in June 2020 with previous samples collected in 2018 and 2019.

Report co-author Amina Salamova, associate research scientist for the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana UniversityBloomington, said a class of chemicals called “QACs” that are used as disinfectants were found in much higher concentrations in the samples collected after the outbreak.

She said elevated exposure to QACs has been linked to increased risks of asthma and skin irritation.

“Obviously we’re not suggesting that you should stop disinfecting your environment in the situation of the pandemic,” Salamova cautioned. “Just be careful about what you use and use as it’s advised on the product label, as it’s advised by the CDC and the EPA. Don’t overuse it.”

Other research has linked the compounds to reproductive and developmental problems in animals.

Salamova said the research found disinfecting cleaning wipes had much higher levels of QACs than cleaning sprays. She noted alcohol-based cleaners might be a safer alternative.

help create a sense of routine and stability. Even if your child is learning at home and could stay in pajamas all day, something as small as getting dressed in school clothes and brushing teeth before sitting down for lessons can signal it’s time to study.

Be flexible: The things that make school fun – whatever that may be for your child – aren’t at home.

However, there are some things you can do at home, like eat a snack while studying or play with toys, that you cannot do at school that make learning more enjoyable. Be sure to build breaks into your child’s day. Knowing there will be something fun after the next lesson can give your child something to look forward to and help him or her settle down to complete the task at hand. Plus, those breaks can be an opportunity for parents to get some work done, too.

Talk with your child and with his or her teachers: Perhaps those 30 minutes of reading don’t have to be done midmorning when your child is restless. Instead, maybe your family could do

30 minutes of reading before bed when your child is calmer.

Talk it out: Nearly everyone is experiencing strong emotions right now whether it’s in reaction to an abnormal start to the school year or other factors that impact daily life. The difference is adults can contextualize a situation and adjust their reactions.

Children haven’t yet mastered those skills, so they react based on whatever nugget

of information they have.

Home is a safe place for most children, which means they know they can express their feelings freely. That may mean slamming laptops or books down in frustration, yelling or using hurtful words.

Your child might be upset because he or she doesn’t understand the schoolwork or might be afraid for safety or the safety of loved ones during these uncertain times.

Pelosi says Biden should NOT ‘dignify’ Trump with a debate

By Desert Star Staff House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, thinks her party’s nominee Joe Biden shouldn’t dignify President Donald Trump with a debate, because he disrespects the office and has engaged in “skulduggery” during the current election.

“I don’t think there should be any debates,” Pelosi (D-California) told reporters on Thursday. “I wouldn’t legitimize a conversation with him, nor a debate in terms of the presidency.”

Debates should not be about “skulduggery on the part of somebody who has no respect for the office he holds, much less the democratic process,” Pelosi said, using an archaic term for underhanded behavior or trickery.

“Why else would he try to undermine the elections in the manner in which he is doing?” she added, presumably reasserting her

claim from last week that Trump and the Republicans were “enemies of the state” for opposing universal voting by mail and allegedly “defunding” the US Postal Service.

She also said that Trump would “probably” act in a way that is “beneath the dignity” of the presidency, adding that he “does that every day.” For example, she cited his “stalking” of Hillary Clinton during one of the debates in 2016.

Pelosi isn’t exactly a stranger to disrespectful gestures, from sarcastic clapping to ripping up her copy of Trump’s State of the Union speech this year.

Though she insisted that Biden’s campaign does not share her position on the debates, her remarks were quickly interpreted as running interference for Biden by conservatives convinced the former vice president is either unwilling or unable to

face Trump on the stage.

Biden managed to deliver his speech at last week’s Democratic convention without any verbal or physical gaffes, unlike every unscripted online appearance he has made from the

basement of his Delaware home over the summer.

Trump has repeatedly insinuated that the 77-yearold’s mental acuity isn’t what it used to be, and on Wednesday said both he and Biden should be tested for

drugs before the debates.

Even some of Biden’s senior advisers have argued he was better off staying in the basement and not engaging with the general public.

Potential for New Nuclear Testing Brings Up Old Harms to Idahoans

By Desert Star Staff BOISE, Idaho -- Restarting discussion about nuclearweapons testing is on the table in Washington, D.C., even as Idaho still was waiting to recognize the harms from testing in the 20th century.

Senior White House officials say it could bring China and Russia to negotiations over nuclear arms. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., won approval to add $10 million for testing in the National Defense Authorization Act for next year. However,

Hannah Smay, a Snake River Alliance board member, pointed out that southern Idaho felt the health effects of fallout from Nevada tests of the 1950s and ‘60s.

“Idaho has, for a long time, been a ‘sacrifice zone’ for downwind contamination,” she said, “as well as a storage place for nuclear waste that comes with the production of nuclear weapons.”

The National Cancer Institute has identified southern Idaho counties as having some of the highest

radiation exposure rates from Nevada tests. However, the state wasn’t included in a compensation fund for “downwinder” communities passed three decades ago. In eastern Idaho, the Idaho National Laboratory processes nuclear waste from across the country.

Before testing would restart, Smay said, communities affected by nuclear testing should have a chance to speak up.

“Having a lot of transparency from the

agencies -- from the Department of Energy, from the Idaho National Lab and from those in the administration who are floating this idea of resuming nuclear testing -- will allow communities to have their input,” she said.

More than 70 scientists and scholars have signed a letter urging the administration not to go forward with nuclear testing. Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., has introduced the Preserving Leadership Against Nuclear Explosives Testing

(PLANET) Act, which would prohibit the use of funds for nuclear-weapons tests.

The National Cancer Institute report is online at cancer.gov, the scientists’ letter is at sciencemag. org, and the PLANET Act is at markey.senate.gov.

French waiter Stabbed for turning Afghan man away for not wearing a mask

By Desert Star Staff A brutal assault has shaken France’s Le Havre. A restaurant waiter received a grave stab wound for asking a customer to put his mandatory face mask on before entering a beachfront restaurant.

Wearing a face covering is obligatory in public places across France, but defending the rule or reminding people about it may spark a drama such as the one that occurred in Le Havre’s port city this Wednesday.

A 29-year-old Afghan man burst into a local restaurant overlooking a serene seaside beach in the late afternoon.

The visitor – drunk and not wearing a mask – was met by a waiter who “asked him to put one on,” local media reported, citing the police.

The brief altercation was apparently a prelude to violence. The man left www.desertstarweekly.com

the restaurant for a while before returning and stabbing the waiter with a knife.

Some in the vicinity could not stand back and watch the waiter bleed, it turns out.

An off-duty member of CRS, France’s auxiliary police, intervened and apprehended the knife-wielding assaulter, but was also injured in the confrontation. Both victims were rushed to the hospital, with police saying the waiter’s wound was “serious” but not life-threatening. The suspect was arrested by police who launched a criminal investigation.

He isn’t alone in using violence to challenge France’s mask-wearing order. Earlier this month, a Parisian using a launderette said he was beaten by a pair of men with baseball bats after asking a customer to put on a mask.

In July, a bus driver in

Bayonne’s French city was assaulted by a mob after he reportedly demanded that they cover their faces and show their tickets before boarding the bus. The driver was left brain dead, prompting August 28, 2020

some of his colleagues to refuse to go to work in protest over the brutal attack.

France has recently moved to task riot police with enforcing mask-wearing after a local spike in Covid-19

cases was reported in Marseille. The news comes as the country’s coronavirus tally surpassed 291,000, and over 30,500 people have so far lost their lives due to the pandemic.

Profs Assess Trump’s Standing in NH Ahead of Friday Rally

By Desert Star Staff New Hampshire is a crucial swing state, and President Donald Trump is holding a rally on Friday in Manchester.

According to news website FiveThirtyEight, Trump is trailing Democratic nominee Joseph Biden here by about 8%, similar to national trends.

Dante Scala, a political science professor at the University of New Hampshire, said Trump needs to win over Granite State college-educated men and rural voters and a key group favoring Biden.

“Senior voters, people who are 65 and over,” Scala said. “Compared to four years ago, Joe Biden so far has been doing better among seniors than Hillary Clinton did.”

Trump is slated to speak

near Manchester-Boston Regional Airport Friday at 6:00 p.m. Scala thinks Trump’s best strategy is to focus on the economy, arguing he’s the better candidate to restore it pre-COVID heights.

Professor Andy Smith, director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, noted before the pandemic, it was a booming market. Most political analysts expected Trump to win re-election.

But now, Smith isn’t sure, and not because of the large percentage of “independent” voters in New Hampshire; about 40%.

“You can register Republican, Democrat, or undeclared,” Smith said.

“And if you look at those people who are registered ‘undeclared,’ they roughly break out about 35% to

genuinely independent.”

Smith said most real independents are less

likely to vote and pay less attention to politics, including going to a rally.

Warsaw Zoo begins medical marijuana trial

By Desert Star Staff In Poland’s capital, Warsaw, the zoo is planning a first-of-its-kind experiment to treat grieving and

stressed-out elephants with CBD oil, following the loss of their alpha female.

The three remaining African elephants at the

zoo will receive small liquid doses of a dozen drops of CBD oil, two or three times a day, through their trunks or mixed into their food.

CBD is derived from a cannabis plant compound and does not contain THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis. Therefore, it is as unlikely to induce euphoria in the already passive pachyderms as it is to cause any adverse side effects.

The substance has been used widely to treat dogs and horses, but this ground-breaking pilot project will examine its effects on much larger animals and, more specifically, on their stress hormone levels.

Zoo staff has taken feces, saliva, and blood samples to monitor the stress hormone cortisol level before dosing them and watch this over the coming months and years.

“This is probably the first initiative of its kind for elephants,” Agnieszka Czujkowska, the veterinarian in charge of the zoo’s animal rehabilitation department’s

project and head.

It can take months or even years for elephants to cope with loss and re-establish social hierarchy. The zoo’s herd recently lost its matriarch, Erna, and the gentle giants have been stressed out ever since, with elevated cortisol levels detected in the remaining three animals.

“It’s an attempt to find a new, natural alternative to the existing methods of combating stress, especially pharmaceutical drugs,” Czujkowska said. “Contrary to what some would imagine, the elephants won’t be using cannabis pipes, nor will they be getting huge barrels of it!”

It’s estimated it will take two years before the experiment yields any conclusive results. If the pilot project proves successful, the Warsaw Zoo may expand CBD oil use to rhinos and bears.

Border Patrol Agents Arrest Convicted Felon Sex Offender

By Desert Star Staff CALEXICO, Calif. – U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the El Centro Sector arrested a man on Saturday convicted of a sexual offense.

The incident occurred at around 4:50 a.m. when agents patrolling approximately one mile west of the Calexico West Downtown Port of Entry encountered a man suspected of illegally entering the United States. The man was placed under arrest and transported

to El Centro Sector’s rally point for further processing.

Records checks revealed that the man, a 50-year-old illegal alien from Mexico, had a conviction on December 18, 2006, for “Lewd or Lascivious Acts with a child under 14 years old” out of San Bernardino, California.

The man was sentenced to three years of confinement and for his conviction.

Additionally, the man had been previously

ordered removed from the United States on September 15, 2008.

The man was processed criminally for 8 USC 1326 Reentry of Removed Aliens.

In the fiscal year 2020, El Centro Sector Border Patrol agents have arrested and removed 44 individuals either convicted or wanted on sexual offense charges after they entered the United States illegally.

FAMILY FEATURES

f there’s one constant this year, it’s change. With another school year comes even more change, but you can help your family make a smooth transition with some planning and preparation.

Allow time for adjustments. After months of later bedtimes and laidback schedules, kids and parents alike need a little time to adjust to a new mindset. Start gradually dialing back bedtime and scheduling time for educational activities and lunchtime a few weeks before school begins.

This gives you plenty of time to work out any glitches while avoiding the resistance and disruption that more abrupt changes can bring.

Map out a visual guide. Especially after spending more time at home, having everyone headed in different directions may feel a bit overwhelming. This may be particularly true if your school model requires non-traditional scheduling or if you’re making a return to a more rigorous

extracurricular activity schedule. For younger kids and those who learn better by seeing than hearing, a visual representation can help illustrate how schedules will be changing. Color coding by person or activity can help everyone understand who should be where and when.

Make evenings easier. A household with school-age kids is seemingly bustling all the time, but evenings are often especially busy with activities, homework and other commitments competing for attention. Gathering everyone around the table for a meal may be a challenge, so when you do succeed, give yourself permission to shave time where you can. For example, keeping disposable tableware on-hand lets you skip the cleanup on nights you don’t want to do dishes and spend more time assisting with science projects and cheering on athletic teams. Premium options like Chinet Classic White plates are strong enough for the heaviest, messiest meals so you don’t have to worry about spills and leaks.

Set a positive tone. Transitions happen more easily when the destination is exciting and appealing. Help kids get excited about a return to school by talking about what they’re looking forward to and offering reassurance about their concerns. Allow kids to put a personal touch on supplies they’ll be excited to use, such as a new backpack or headphones for online learning. Put simply, model positivity for students to mirror as they head into a new school year.

Spend family time together. At the end of each day, once everyone is done with school and work, make some time for a physical activity the whole family can participate in. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood to get some fresh air or a game of tag or soccer in the backyard, getting active together can be an easy way to spend time winding down and bonding.

How you begin each day sets the tone for the hours that follow. Put yourself on course for a successful, stress-free day by eliminating hassles and introducing some tricks to make each morning as convenient as possible.

Find a routine that works: Numerous parenting experts recommend routines for children, but they’re beneficial for grownups, too. A regular routine takes the guesswork out of what comes next so you can go through the motions of getting ready before your brain is fully engaged. There’s no perfect order for getting things done, just find what works best for your family. With a little trial and error, you can create a system that gives you peace of mind that every box gets checked before the family scatters in different directions each morning.

Wake up prepared: Even the best routines sometimes go awry, so it’s a good idea to plan ahead and minimize the impact. Using the evening to ensure each student has everything he or she needs for the next school day eliminates a lot of commotion in the morning. Designate a place for school items, whether it’s a hook or spot by the door for backpacks or a cubby near the home school space.

Use the same approach to select and lay out clothes for everyone before bed.

Rev up all your senses: Creating positive energy can be a whole-body experience. Add some upbeat music, throw open the blinds and get that coffee brewing. Signaling to your senses that it’s time to take on a new day can help you shake off any lingering drowsiness and shift into a more productive mode. It’s an approach that is both practical and fun, so you’re setting a positive tone for the whole family.

Take your java on the go: It’s not always realistic to sit and savor your first cup of coffee, but that doesn’t mean you should sacrifice your morning energy burst. Many experts suggest avoiding coffee on an empty stomach, so taking it on the go and using your limited time to grab a bite to eat is a better alternative. Brew your cup and go with an option like the Chinet Comfort Cup insulated hot cup, which has double-layer insulation and an easy fit snap-and-go lid to make taking your coffee on the road (or around the block on a morning walk) convenient and comfortable.
