Senator Leyva Introduces the “College Access for All Act”

SB 309 Will Enhance High School Student Access to Required Coursework for UC / CSU Admission

By Desert Star Staff SACRAMENTO – To improve college access and preparation for all California students, Senator Connie M. Leyva (D-Chino) today introduced SB 309 to establish a 200 million dollar grant program to ensure that more students successfully complete the University of California (UC) / California State University (CSU) A-G course requirements. This critical legislation will help ensure that more California students are eligible to attend a UC or CSU directly from high school.

SB 309 takes a multipronged approach to increase successful student

access to the UC / CSU A-G course requirements. Most importantly—to increase the availability of A-G courses— it funds 150 million dollars in access grants to local educational agencies with a UC / CSU A-G completion rate of less than 45% of all students. The measure also funds 50 million dollars in successful grants for local educational agencies that have taken on the challenge of incorporating the UC / CSU A-G course requirements into their local graduation requirements. But whose UC / CSU A-G completion remains below 80% overall—with an emphasis on directing funding to those students in

schools and county offices education beginning with 2026-27 school year.

“It is unacceptable that only half of graduating high school students in California meet the coursework requirements to attend a UC or CSU—and even fewer socioeconomically disadvantaged, homeless, English Learner and foster students meet those prerequisites,” Senator Leyva said. “SB 309 will help ensure that all high school students, regardless of where they may live or study, have the opportunity to take coursework that will prepare them to attend a public university here in California. By leveling the danger of not achieving the requisite grade of “C” or better playing field and empowering school districts to better in an A-G course, to fulfill the promise of UC / CSU eligibility. help their students will certainly help to set even The bill also requires more California students parents and guardians, on a path to success.” beginning in 8th grade, to California’s current be notified and educated on statewide high school the UC / CSU A-G course graduation requirements— requirements and their local dating back to the early educational agency’s own 1980’s—are out of alignment graduation requirements and with the minimum admission UC / CSU completion rates.

SB 309 also reemphasizes the requirements to the University of California and the California provision of school districts State University, known as to offer all students a timely the ‘UC / CSU A-G course course of study that fulfills requirements.’ Many local minimum requirements for educational agencies admission to the University of have instituted graduation California and the California requirements beyond State University and expands the minimum statewide that requirement to charter

requirements, and some have gone so far as to incorporate the UC / CSU A-G course requirement.

The contrast between the state’s minimum graduation requirements and the UC / CSU admission requirements—as well as variations across local education agencies—creates inequitable outcomes for California students and their eligibility to attend the UC or CSU. As a result, only half of California high school graduates are eligible for admission to our state’s public universities.

Some of the state’s most disadvantaged students are eligible at even lower rates.

According to the California Department of Education’s most recent data, only 50.9% of all students who graduate from a California public school meet the minimum requirements to attend the University of California or the California State University.

The numbers are worse for the state’s most disadvantaged students: 42.8% for those from socioeconomically needy families, 29.2% for homeless students, 24.7% for English learners, and just 20.1% for foster youth.

Following a Senate Rules Committee referral, SB 309 will be considered by pertinent Senate committee(s) later this spring.

Families of People with Disabilities Get Support

By Desert Star Staff Families with people who have disabilities can sometimes feel isolated because of their experiences.

Siblings of people with physical, developmental or mental-health diagnoses especially have unique experiences, which include challenges and rewards.

Abbey Guza, a licensed clinical social worker who hosts “SibShops,” which provide support for Montana families who have a child with a disability, said siblings

sometimes feel as if some of their parents’ attention is pulled away from them, but ultimately they’re resilient.

“They’re really proud of their ability to help that brother or sister out,” Guza observed.

“And I see a lot of kids who have a really incredible amount of knowledge, often times well beyond their years, about what their sibling with a disability needs.”

Guza noted families can feel alienated and are even more isolated than usual because of COVID-19.

While her SibShops can’t happen in person, Guza will host three virtual sessions with families over the next month, starting with a session for parents and caregivers on Feb. 22.

Grace Lee Banna, whose older sister has a neurodevelopmental disability that has slowed her capacity for picking up new skills, said there are ups and downs with her sister.

“I’ve learned to be more willing to help even though at first I did not want to help at

all,” Banna acknowledged. “But the other half of it is honestly kind of fun to be able to try new things with her and be able to teach others about her, like my friends or anyone that comes across her.”

Jen Banna, Grace Lee’s mother, is coordinator for the Montana Family to Family Health Information Center, based at the Rural Institute for Inclusive Communities, which helps families navigate health care and also help providers, state agencies and lawmakers understand the

needs of families who have children with special needs.

“We believe that the health of the family, including the mental health, is improved when we provide resources that help families cope better with the special conditions that their kids have,” Banna explained.

The deadline to register for Guza’s SibShop, which is hosted by the Montana Family to Family Health Information Center, is Monday.

Riverside County Stocks Trout at Lake Cahuilla

Board of Directors to extend our lease for Lake Cahuilla for one year,” said Supervisor Perez. “It has been some time coming, and we welcome the resumption of trout fishing at Lake Cahuilla. We invite families to come out, use precautions such as wearing

masks and remaining physically distanced from others, and enjoy a day at our Lake Cahuilla Veterans Regional Park.”

Another stocking is expected on February 8 and on consecutive Tuesdays through March 23. A full stocking schedule can be found on the Web page for the county park, https://www.

rivcoparks.org/lake-cahuillaveterans-regional-par.

This was the first restock since September 2020. The delay in stocking was due to several factors. The primary factor was a bacterial infection that impacted trout stocking throughout the southwestern area of the U.S. The county recently entered into a contract February 5, 2021

with a new vendor to supply fish at the county’s recreational lakes: Lake Cahuilla, Lake Skinner and Rancho Jurupa.

The trout restocking was able to move forward as a result of successful lease negotiations with the Coachella Valley Water District and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, that extended the county’s

lease through March 2022.

Admission fees to the park directly contribute to the cost of fish stocking at the lake.

The county park, the first in the county park system named in honor of veterans, is open from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

Retirement Brings With It Extra Time; How To Make The Best Of It

By Desert Star Staff Singer Jim Croce longed to put time in a bottle.

Retirees aren’t always certain what it is they long to do with time, but one day they stop working and find they have a barrelful of it.

“People often are so focused on making sure they are financially ready to retire that they forget to plan for what they want to do in retirement,” says Patti Hart, co-author with her husband, Milledge, of The Resolutionist: Welcome to the Anti-Retirement Movement.

“And they may have more time to fill than they realize. Life expectancy has grown, and retirements that last 20 years, 30 years, or longer aren’t that unusual.

So you have to start thinking, what will you do with your time? How do you envision your days playing out?”

For the Harts, the answers to those questions involve the “anti-retirement movement,” where retirement is more than a rocking chair on a front porch or endless hours of golf.

“We did leave our careers, but we would never call ourselves retired,” Milledge Hart says. “We are busier now than we’ve ever been.

The difference is that we are busy doing what brings us joy rather than what advances our careers.”

But the transition isn’t always easy, which is why the Harts recommend finding efficient ways to manage that extra time the post-career years bring.

Patti Hart cautions that time management does not have to mean blocking out every minute.

“For most people, it is just setting goals and priorities, then making sure you plan for how you are going to accomplish them,” she says. “It is being productive with your time.”

To do that, the Harts suggest putting yourself into the mindset you had in your working years, such as: Use a calendar. People in a corporate setting rely on calendars to manage their obligations, and retirees can as well. “Too often, people just think they will remember that they have yoga on Tuesday and Thursday and volunteer at the animal shelter on

Wednesday,” Patti Hart says.

“But then they add a lunch here or a board meeting there and pretty soon find themselves scurrying from activity to activity.” Checking a calendar each day also lets people know they may need to pull back if they are overcommitted or need to find activities to add if too many empty hours are going to waste.

Make a to-do list. A todo list helps ensure nothing gets forgotten. Milledge Hart says, just be flexible because the list is a tool to keep you on track, not a ball and chain to imprison you. “If you’d rather do something else today, feel free to move items to another time or just skip them altogether,” he says. “It’s your list, so it’s your call.”

Treat everything like a business appointment. The calendar and the to-do list can be filled with things that would never have made a

These are your preferred ‘appointments’ now and are equal in importance to board meetings or conference calls.”

Adapt your system as your needs change. Some people begin retirement doing all the things they had been putting off, such as traveling or fishing more. “But that first burst of activity usually begins to wear, and you realize you want more from this stage of life,” Milledge Hart says. “At that point, it makes sense to reevaluate your resources and goals. Be aware of how you feel about certain activities and be ready to drop some and pick up others as your

time and interests change.”

“In the same way that making good financial investments provides you with additional capital, investing your time wisely provides you with more time to do things you really want to do,” Patti Hart says. “ And that will make your life so much better.”

How to Teach Children About Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

By Desert Star Staff Children develop their identities right alongside their abilities to crawl, walk, talk and recognize letters. There’s also a common misconception that children are “colorblind.”

However, studies have found children can show signs of racial bias at an early age, with psychologists from Northwestern University finding children as young as 4 may be picking up on cues of intolerance from adults around them. Children may not understand prejudice or racial bias, but from their earliest days, they absorb and mimic attitudes that are held by the adults in their lives.

“For children, differences are a way of learning about themselves and others, a way of building their sense of self and a place in their family and community,” said Dr. Elanna Yalow, KinderCare Education’s chief academic officer.

“Children will naturally look to their parents and caregivers

for explanations about the diversity they see in their world and what those differences can or should mean. That’s why it’s so important to help even the youngest children learn how to embrace diversity in a way that’s respectful and celebrates different cultures, backgrounds and experiences.”

Understanding and addressing issues of diversity, equity and inclusion can be challenging, which is why some parents may shy away from having these conversations with their children. Yalow offers these tips to help parents lay the foundation for honest and developmentally appropriate discussions.

Start by acknowledging differences. To ignore differences among people is to ignore a part of the person. When children ask, “Why does…?” questions, rather than shy away or tell them, “We don’t ask those

questions,” embrace the moment and answer in simple, direct language. For example, explaining that melanin creates different skin tones or people may use wheelchairs because their legs work differently, and they need help moving around.

By answering their questions,

children can learn differences aren’t bad or embarrassing – they’re what make each person unique and special.

Reflect the diversity of the world within your own home. Books are an easy way to help children learn about diversity because stories are natural conversation starters.

Look for books with diverse main characters who have different races, ethnicities, backgrounds and abilities, and reflect a number of family structures. As you read together, talk about the differences and similarities between the characters and your children using simple, clear language. It’s important to ensure your children see themselves in the toys, books and media around them.

Children feel welcome and important when their identity and their families’ identities are represented in their world.

Build empathy. Go beyond the common refrain, “put yourself in someone else’s shoes,” and ask your

children why it is important to understand other people’s perspectives. Help your children think of times they learned something about someone else and how that knowledge helped them be better friends or family members. Empathy can help children comprehend the lasting, harmful impact inequality and exclusion can have and show them why it’s important for them to understand, respect and appreciate differences.

“Learning about and celebrating diversity, equity and inclusion are lifelong commitments,” Yalow said.

“Children have the benefit of approaching these topics with a fresh perspective and a strong sense of what’s fair and unfair – skills that will help them build a better future for everyone.”

Hitler’s toilet seat, looted from the Bavarian retreat, up for grabs

By Desert Star Staff A toilet seat looted from the Nazi leader’s personal bathroom is being auctioned off by the family of a New Jersey soldier who took it as a humorous reminder of Hitler’s failed plans to dominate other nations.

According to the lot description, the weird memorabilia comes from the Berghof residence in Berchtesgaden. A US soldier named Ragnvald C. Borch was a liaison with the French 2nd Armored Division and became one of the first Allied troops to reach the building in early May of 1945.

By this time, Hitler himself was already dead, and his residence was heavily damaged by bombings and a fire set by retreating Nazi soldiers, but some of his things remained intact and were plundered.

Borch’s share of the loot

DesertSTAR

was a couple of oil paintings, a World War I armored vest and the toilet seat. According to the family legend conveyed by his son Michael, when a fellow military police trooper asked him why he wanted the latter trophy, he responded: “Where do you think Hitler put his ass?”

The two-piece seat and lid and other “souvenirs” were sent back to Borch’s wife and remained on display in the basement of his home in New Jersey. The local media wrote about it, as evidenced by a newspaper clipping that is offered along with some wartime photos of Borch and other memorabilia as part of the same lot.

Admittedly, the Nazi downfall relic didn’t get the same attention as the infamous ‘Hitler’s toilet,’ which was taken from the scrapped aviso ship ‘Grille’ and ended up in a New Jersey gas station. But the

saleroom Alexander Auctions says their offer is a “one-of-akind piece,” unlike the toilet, which was perhaps one of a dozen installed on the yacht.

“This example was from Hitler’s personal February 5, 2021

bathroom, from as close to a ‘throne’ as the dictator would ever get,” it said.

Whether the unique appeal is strong enough for someone to blow at least $5,000 on the seat remains to be seen. An

earlier attempt by the same auction house to sell the bar from ‘Grille’ was unsuccessful.

Sellers hoped to get at least $150,000 for the globe-shaped piece of fuehrer furniture, but no bid was made on it. www.desertstarweekly.com

CVS Health to Administer COVID-19 Vaccines at 100 Pharmacy Locations

By Desert Star Staff California is among an initial 11 state rollout and part of its larger plan to expand access to COVID-19 vaccines at CVS Pharmacy locations across the country.

Building on the company’s comprehensive efforts to help slow the spread of the virus, CVS Health (NYSE: CVS) will begin to administer COVID-19 vaccines to eligible populations on Thursday, February 11, at 100 CVS Pharmacy locations across California.

For CVS Pharmacy locations that will begin to offer COVID-19 vaccinations on February 11, appointments will become available for booking as early as February 9 as stores receive shipments of the vaccine.

Supply for the state’s limited rollout, which is sourced directly from the federal pharmacy partnership program, will be approximately 81,900 total doses.

Participating CVS Pharmacies are in communities throughout

California, including Agoura Hills, Bakersfield, Carmel, Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Clovis, Eureka, Huntington Beach, Irvine, La Jolla, Los Angeles, Modesto, Monterey, Newport Beach, San Diego, San Francisco, Sonoma, Sunnyvale, Ventura and Yuba City. As more supply becomes available, the company will expand to more locations and offer additional appointments.

“One of our greatest strengths as a company is our presence in communities

across the country, which makes us an ideal partner for administering vaccines in a safe, convenient, and familiar manner,” said Karen S. Lynch, President and Chief Executive Officer, CVS Health.

“We continue to be grateful for the commitment of our frontline colleagues whose dedication has allowed us to deliver care and peace of mind throughout the pandemic.”

Vaccines at participating CVS Pharmacy locations in California will be available to individuals meeting state criteria, confirmed by the state in advance of the rollout. Patients must register in advance at CVS.com or through the CVS Pharmacy app, and people without online access can contact CVS customer service: (800) 7467287. Walk-in vaccinations without an appointment will not be provided.

The availability of COVID-19 vaccines in California is part of an initial 11 state rollout. It includes approximately 335 CVS Pharmacy locations across Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York,

Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. Vaccines will eventually be available at CVS Pharmacy locations throughout the country, subject to product availability, with the capacity to administer 20 – 25 million shots per month.

In addition to making COVID-19 vaccines available in local pharmacy locations, CVS Health continues to make progress in its effort to vaccinate residents and staff at more than 15,000 long-term care facilities across California.

As made clear by regularly updated data CVS Health makes publicly available, first doses at all facilities in the state that selected CVS Health to provide COVID-19 vaccinations will be complete by mid-February, with second doses well underway.[1] Multimedia assets, including b-roll and still photography from a longterm care facility and in-store COVID-19 vaccinations, are available. More information on steps CVS Health has taken to address the pandemic is available at the company’s frequently updated COVID-19 resource center.

Report: Biden Relief Package Could Reduce Child Poverty

By Desert Star Staff President Joe Biden’s proposal to expand the Child Tax Credit would help reduce child poverty and extend the credit to nearly half of all Black and Hispanic children, according to new analysis by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.

Amy Hanauer, executive director for the institute, said the move will help working people in Nebraska who actually pay a larger share of their income in payroll, sales and other state and local taxes, but don’t earn enough to pay federal income tax.

“The changes to the Child Tax Credit no longer punish you for being in that situation,” Hanauer explained.

“And they say, ‘OK, your child deserves a credit,’ just like any upper-middle-income child would deserve a credit.”

Hanauer emphasized expanding access to the cash-back credit, part of

the administration’s COVID relief plan, would put an additional $2,200 on average into the pockets of 99% of Nebraska families with children. Previously, only wealthy and middle-income families could claim the credit.

Critics warned Biden’s relief package would increase the budget deficit and give money to people who are not currently struggling economically.

Hanauer argued lawmakers now opposed to sending $1,400 in direct payments to workers had no concerns about expanding deficits when tax cuts put $50,000 on average into the pockets of America’s wealthiest families.

She believes Biden’s plan will help struggling families, and state and local economies.

“We’re making sure that the poorest people and those who really need it get help,” Hanauer contended. “But

Expanding access to the Child Tax Credit is projected to provide 99% of Nebraska families with children an additional $2,200 on average. (Arek Socha/Pixabay) we’re making sure that this is really something that is helping almost all of us. And that will in turn be reinjected right back into the economy, because people have been

holding back on spending.”

In addition to cash payments and the Child Tax Credit expansion, Biden’s plan also calls for increasing the Earned Income Tax Credit.

Hanauer added these three measures would send targeted relief to the bottom 60% of taxpayers, who would see an average benefit of $3,500.

New coalition launches bid for Cancer Patients Bill of Rights

By Desert Star Staff DUARTE, Calif. – Today, as communities and organizations across the globe commemorate World Cancer Day, a coalition of organizations are announcing a new campaign called Cancer Care Is Different, spearheaded by City of Hope, a world-renowned National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center, American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, California Chronic Care Coalition and International Myeloma Foundation. The campaign’s goal is to raise awareness about the adverse impact for patients that restricted access to leading cancer treatment centers, where the most advanced, life-saving therapeutics are available, causes, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to urge passage and adoption of a Cancer Patients Bill of Rights in the California Legislature.

The resolution, Senate Concurrent Resolution 11 (SCR 11), is authored by state Sen. Susan Rubio (D-Baldwin Park) and was introduced in the state Senate today.

“For many cancer patients, the best chance of being cured is the early chance at a cure,” Rubio said. “Despite remarkable advances in cancer science creating more effective treatments and cures, too many cancer patients continue to suffer from a lack of access to specialty care. That lack of access is unfortunately even more pronounced among our most vulnerable and disadvantaged communities. The Cancer Patients Bill of Rights recognizes that cancer patients should receive appropriate, timely and equitable access to www.desertstarweekly.com

expert cancer care.”

“With our valued partners, City of Hope is proud to drive this effort to increase cancer patients’ access to the proper expertise and to make them aware of their rights to appropriate treatment options,” said Joseph Alvarnas, M.D., a hematologist-oncologist at City of Hope. “These needs are heightened by the reality that cancer is a complex and rapidly evolving field that requires ongoing access to the most recent knowledge, therapeutics and technology.

The consequences of limited or delayed access to this expertise, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, are significant and can lead to misdiagnoses that can often mean unnecessary exposure to toxic chemotherapy agents, suffering or avoidable death.” Alvarnas serves as vice president of government affairs and senior medical director for employer strategy at City of Hope.

More than 187,000 Californians are diagnosed with cancer annually and thousands of these new cancer patients are misdiagnosed or placed on treatment regimens that are inappropriate or ineffective for their condition.

Cancer Patients Bill of Rights includes: · Cancer patients have a right to fully understand their diagnosis and be informed about treatment options in culturally appropriate and understandable language. · Cancer patients have a right to a transparent and timely process that ensures direct access to an oncology specialist, diagnostic testing and accurate interpretations of those tests.

· Cancer patients have a right to timely access to cancer subspecialists who have expertise in the treatment of their subtypes of cancers when complex decisions are needed · Cancer patients have a right to direct and prompt access to medical treatments for pain management and other services that support their overall health. · Cancer patients have a right to direct access to a National Cancer Institutedesignated comprehensive cancer center and leading academic medical centers

‘Put All The Chicken In The Bag’

Restaurant customer turned away for not wearing mask returns with a gun.

By Desert Star Staff A maskless gunman held up a restaurant in Pasadena, California. Rather than emptying the cash register, the suspect demanded chicken that he had been refused because he wasn’t wearing a face covering.

Enjoy the rest of 2021.

According to the staff at Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles, the chicken heist occurred after a man was told to leave the establishment because he refused to wear a mask in accordance with Covid-19 guidelines.

The enraged customer reportedly stormed out before later returning with a gun… and his food order.

Robert Gonzalez, who

“The guy just said, ‘Put all the chicken in the bag,’” Gonzalez told local news channel KTLA. “I understand we got some good chicken, but man!”

The hungry gunman then grabbed several bagged takeout orders that were already prepared, Gonzalez said.
