Canopy at Citrus Set To Introduce Vibrant Retail and Dining Oasis

By Desert Star Staff INDIO, Calif.– Valley resident Bob Lichter, President of Lichter Equities and his latest venture CANOPY LP, today announced the start of construction on the CANOPY at Citrus, an interconnected, mixed-use shopping and dining enclave. Blending leading retail and trending restaurants together in a creative atmosphere will feature expansive outdoor patios, water features, mature tree canopies, and paths. A unique and defining mixeduse destination, CANOPY at Citrus will be directly connected to Citrus Plaza, one of the most successful

centers in the Coachella Valley, which features record high-volume Ralphs, CVS, restaurants and shops. The lifestyle mixed-use village is set for initial occupancy in the first quarter of 2022.

Grants Help Medical Schools Attract Students of Color

By Suzanne Potter/PNS RIVERSIDE, Calif. -Large grants are helping

medical schools in Southern California improve diversity because although Latinos

are 39% of the state’s population, they make up only 6% of physicians and 8% of

medical-school graduates.

Jeff Kim, program director for the California Wellness Foundation, said his group recently gave $450,000 to support the University of California Riverside School of Medicine’s efforts to enroll and graduate students from communities of color that are historically underrepresented.

“At the current rate of how we recruit and graduate medical students, it would take us five centuries to have enough Latino doctors to match the Latino share of the population,” Kim reported.

The foundation also gave almost twice that amount to the Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science to attract more students and retire some of their medical debt. As a result, both schools are currently expanding their programs. Affirmative action in higher education is illegal

in California, so schools recruit heavily in high schools and community colleges in low-income communities.

Kim explained doctors who come from the community, speak its languages and understand its culture can offer better care.

“Because of historically problematic interactions with health care, certain communities are going to be less trusting,” Kim pointed out. “But if they see people from their community, I think that drives up the quality of care and access to care.”

According to the California Health Care Foundation, the state faces a shortage of physicians. Overall, a problem that is particularly acute in the Inland Empire and San Joaquin Valley.

Lumina Foundation provided support for this reporting.

Israel gets skewered after claiming Ben & Jerry’s ice-cream boycott

By Desert Star Staff A barrage of social media snark has targeted Israel’s president after he bravely compared Ben & Jerry’s decision to stop selling its ice cream in the occupied Palestinian territories to terrorism.

The Vermont-based ice cream brand, which has developed a reputation over the years as a champion of progressive causes, announced earlier this week that it would be “inconsistent” with its values to sell its ice cream in Gaza and the West Bank. The boycott was prompted by “concerns shared with us by our fans and trusted partners,” the left-leaning ice cream maker explained.

The decision sparked both applause and condemnation but, on Wednesday, Israel’s President Isaac Herzog issued a uniquely extreme analysis of the move.

“The boycott of Israel is a new sort of terrorism,

economic terrorism,” Herzog said, as quoted by Haaretz.

“Terrorism tries to harm the citizens of Israel and the economy of Israel. We must. Therefore, we must oppose this boycott and terrorism in any form.”

But his geopolitical assessment of the ice cream blockade received poor reviews on social media, with many comments openly mocking the president’s remarks.

“Terrorism is when I can’t buy Ben and Jerries to eat while I bulldoze Palestinian homes,” quipped one Twitter user.

Another observer joked that Israel might be planning on carrying out missile strikes against Ben & Jerry’s Vermont hometown.

Those who took a more serious approach to the Israeli leader’s comments argued that comparing the boycott to any form of terrorism showed “bad faith” in Tel Aviv.

The pile-on wasn’t

unanimous, however. One reply accused media outlets of twisting Herzog’s words by not stressing that he specifically pointed to Ben & Jerry’s alleged “economic” terrorism.

Israel’s president isn’t

alone in using such strong language to push back against the ice cream company. Earlier this week, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett claimed that Ben & Jerry’s had rebranded as an “antisemitic ice cream.”

Ben & Jerry’s, owned by consumer goods giant Unilever, explained that it would remain in Israel and would only stop sales in areas considered occupied by that country.

More Calls for Pathway to Citizenship for Undocumented Immigrants

By Lily Bohlke/PNS BOSTON -- Immigrants’ rights advocates call on Congress to pave the way to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented people in the U.S. Daniel Pereira, director of communications for the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition, said last week’s federal court ruling from Texas halting new applications to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program amplifies how urgent it is for lawmakers to take action.

He argued that protection from deportation with a pathway to citizenship should be extended to those with Temporary Protected

Status and any other people residing without legal status.

“As this ruling shows, it’s not enough,” Pereira asserted. “We need something more permanent, more stable and more viable in the long term. So we would love to see, for the broader population of immigrants in the United States, a pathway to citizenship over the long term.”

Pereira noted the ruling leaves DACA recipients with uncertainty but does not cancel permits for the roughly 700,000 so-called Dreamers. And people who are eligible to renew or in the process of renewing their permits can still do so.

The Trump administration attempted to end DACA in 2017, and no new applications were accepted until the U.S. Supreme Court restored the program in 2020.

The administration then tried to halt new applications and make recipients renew their applications after just

one year instead of two.

But that also was blocked, and thousands of people recently have applied.

Pereira urged residents to make their support known.

“I think that we’ve got a great delegation in Washington right now for

this,” Pereira remarked. “But keep putting on pressure and letting the people in the Congress know that, you know, a pathway to citizenship is the end goal here and something that’s going to make lives better for everyone.”

President Joe Biden said the federal government would appeal the decision on DACA and added the Department of Homeland Security soon plans to propose a new rule to fortify the program.

Global Hacking, Europe and US condemn broader ‘Chinese hacking.’

By Desert Star Weekly The Norwegian government has claimed that Chinese hackers were responsible for a cyberattack on the country’s parliament in March this year and called on Beijing to tackle and prevent such “malicious” activities.

In a statement on Monday, Norway’s Foreign Minister Ine Eriksen Soereide said that an investigation into an attack on the national parliament’s email system on March 10 concluded that the attack “was carried out from China.”

She said that several of Norway’s allies, the European Union and Microsoft, had also confirmed the country’s intelligence services findings. The attacks had targeted a security hole in Microsoft’s Exchange software, the minister said.

“This is a serious

incident which has hit our most important democratic institution,” she noted.

Eriksen Soereide said the Chinese ambassador to Norway had been summoned to discuss the issue, adding that she hoped Beijing would take the matter very seriously.

“Chinese authorities must prevent such attacks from taking place,” she stated.

The minister’s comments came as the UK, US, Canada, and the EU accused China and its Ministry of State Security of a global cyber hacking campaign linked to Microsoft’s earlier attack.

“The cyberattack on Microsoft Exchange Server

by Chinese state-backed groups was a reckless but familiar pattern of behavior,” said British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab in a statement on Monday.

In March, Microsoft announced that a cyber breach had affected tens of thousands of computers worldwide. The firm blamed

“a group assessed to be state-sponsored and operating out of China.”

The Chinese government is yet to respond to Monday’s

accusations but has previously denied Microsoft’s claims of involvement.

CA Budget, Tax Credit are Windfalls for Families with Children

By Suzanne Potter/PNS SACRAMENTO, Calif.

-- Huge new aid programs are beating back poverty in the Golden State, especially

among families with children.

Gov. Gavin Newsom just signed a raft of budget bills that included another $640 by the end of the month

and three rounds of federal stimulus payments.

Mike Herald, director of policy advocacy for the Western Center on Law and Poverty, said the supports boost parents who lost jobs during the pandemic.

“We are lifting a lot of low-income families,” Herald remarked. “They’re getting real financial assistance in the $5,000-$7,000 range, and, believe me, it’s going to make a big difference in people’s lives.”

The California Comeback Plan, as Newsom calls it, also puts $5.2 billion toward rental assistance, so families can apply to get all their back rent paid and even get a few months ahead. for CalWORKS families, on Last week, parents top of the $600 payments started receiving payments already sent to those in the of up to $300 a month per CalWORKS and Supplemental child as part of the Biden Security Income programs administration’s expanded

By Desert Star Weekly SACRAMENTO) The California Earthquake Authority (CEA) applauds the introduction today of legislation led by members of California’s congressional delegation, which would exclude from federal taxation disaster-mitigation grants from an entity established by a state, such as the $3,000 grants CEA provides California homeowners through the Earthquake Brace + Bolt(EBB) program.

Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Alex Padilla (D-CA), together with Senators Burr (R-N.C.) and Tillis (R-N.C.), introduced Senate Bill 2432, the Disaster

Mitigation and Tax Parity Act. U.S. Representative Mike Thompson of California (D05), along with bipartisan cosponsors from several states, today formally introduced identical legislation in the U.S. House.

“We commend the bill sponsors for their hard work on this legislation and for recognizing that homeowners should not be forced to pay a tax penalty for making their homes safer and more resilient to earthquakes, wildfires and windstorms,” said CEA CEO Glenn Pomeroy. “It is refreshing to see members of both political parties working together to solve a common problem.”

EBB grants, which are already exempt from taxes at a state level, provide funds for owners of vulnerable older houses in high-seismichazard areas whose homes need to be strengthened with a seismic retrofit. Currently, suppose Californians receive a mitigation grant funded

by FEMA. In that case, the money is exempt from federal taxes, but if they receive a similar grant funded by the state, they must pay federal taxes on the funds. This bill would eliminate that disparity.

“This bill’s passage would be great news for the EBB program because it would remove a tax penalty that could deter Californians from

federal Child Tax Credit.

Herald said that because funds are going out monthly, it is a game-changer instead of all coming at tax time.

“This will help to provide more financial stability,” Herald asserted. “They’re going to have more money every month in their accounts to be able to pay bills and put food on the table. And this is something that advocates have wanted for a long time.”

And the help for children doesn’t stop there. California has also added 100,000 new slots to the state-funded childcare program and raised what it pays childcare operators to encourage more of them to reopen as the pandemic subsides.

The budget also includes a significant funding increase for K-through-12 schools.

seeking retrofit grants,” said CEA Chief Mitigation Officer and EBB Executive Director Janiele Maffei. “EBB has now helped strengthen more than 15,000 California homes against earthquake damage, and as we look for ways to help more Californians

strengthen their homes— particularly Californians with lower incomes and in under-served communities— we want to be sure we’re offering them stronger safer homes and peace of mind, not higher tax bills.”

ICU Patients with Covid-19 Double In Riverside County NBC PS News Services The number of coronavirus patients in intensive care units in Riverside County more than doubled over the last week, health officials said Wednesday.

According to the Riverside University Health System, 30 ICU patients with the virus are being treated countywide, increasing 16 from seven days ago. The total number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 symptoms in the county is 155, up 61 from last week.

Last month, county health officials switched from daily to once-a-week data updates as part of an overhaul to their coronavirus “dashboard” to make tallies easier to track.

The agency said 4,657 deaths from virus-related

complications had been recorded in the last 16 months, up to ten from last week.

The aggregate number of COVID cases recorded since the public health documentation period began in March 2020 is 304,060, increasing by 1,991 from last week.

The number of known active virus cases is 2,392, up 891 from last week’s figures. According to the County Executive Office, the active count is derived by subtracting deaths and recoveries from the current total. Verified patient recoveries countywide are 297,011.

California Poison Control Warns Residents Poison Oak is Abundant Now

By Desert Star Weekly San Francisco – California Poison Control System (CPCS) warns California residents to be on the lookout for poison oak. It is a severe threat, especially to those who are allergic to the plant.

Poison oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum) is found mainly in the state’s western regions, growing from sea level to the mountains. Grassy hillsides, forests, recreation areas and coastal locations are home to the plant.

Identifiable by its climbing vine-like appearance, the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources describes poison oak as forming a dense, leafy shrub from one to six feet high.

Leaves typically consist of three leaflets, with the stalk of the central leaflet being more prolonged than those of the other two, and it has either glossy or dull leaves. (Photo by Eric Poelzl/Parks Conservancy) “There’s a saying, ‘Leaves of three, let it be,” among hikers. But, in addition to contact with the plant itself, people can contract poison oak by touching clothing, shoes, gloves, pets and tools.

Even smoke from burning plants can irritate,” says Dr. Rais Vohra, Medical Director for the Fresno/Madera Division www.desertstarweekly.com

of CPCS. He added exposure in allergic individuals will result in a rash about one to six days after coming in contact with the leaves that itches and then forms water blisters. The fluid from these blisters does not transmit poison oak as many people think. However, repeated exposure does, unfortunately, increase sensitivity. Poison oak tips include: • Wear boots, gloves and long pants when hiking.

• Stay on trails away from the brush where poison oak plants grow.

• If you are exposed to poison oak, wash the area thoroughly with lukewarm water and apply rubbing alcohol which may wash away the oil from the plant.

• Wash all clothing, tools and pets that have been exposed to the plant.

• Calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream can help stop the itching, as can antihistamines.

• Do not scratch the rash as that can cause infection.

• Get immediate medical attention if you have trouble breathing or swallowing; the rash covers much of your body; you have many blisters; or swelling occurs, especially of the eyelids, face or genitals.

Harvey Weinstein pleads not guilty to sex-crime charges in CA

By Desert Star Weekly Fresh from being extradited to California from a New York prison, disgraced Hollywood movie producer Harvey Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to 11 sex-crime charges, including four counts of rape, in Los Angeles.

Defense lawyer Mark Werksman entered the plea on Weinstein’s behalf on Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Weinstein, the co-founder of the once-powerful studio Miramax, was shackled and brought into the courtroom by sheriff’s deputies in a wheelchair, wearing a brown jail jumpsuit and a Covid-19 mask pulled down under his nose.

Fresh from being extradited to California from a New York prison, disgraced Hollywood movie producer Harvey Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to 11 sex-crime charges, including four counts of rape, in Los Angeles.

Defense lawyer Mark Werksman entered the plea on Weinstein’s behalf on Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Weinstein, the co-founder of the once-powerful studio Miramax, was shackled and

brought into the courtroom by sheriff’s deputies in a wheelchair, wearing a brown jail jumpsuit and a Covid-19 mask pulled down under his nose.

In California, Weinstein is accused of sexual assaults on five unidentified actresses and models. The alleged incidents occurred from 2004 to 2013, mainly in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills hotel rooms. He faces charges of rape, forcible oral copulation, sexual battery by restraint, and sexual penetration by use of force.

“The big picture is that these allegations stem from many years ago, and that’s the problem the district attorney’s office is going to face,” Werksman said.

“And that’s the problem all of these accusers face, in that they brought allegations that can’t be substantiated or corroborated by any forensic evidence, any contemporaneous reporting, any credible witnesses.”

Werksman told Judge Sergio Tapia that he would file a motion to dismiss three charges, saying they were beyond the statute of limitations. He called those charges “baseless” and “from long, long ago.” He

added that he’s confident Weinstein will be acquitted if given a fair trial.

Los Angeles prosecutors obtained a grand jury indictment against Weinstein in March, so they won’t need a preliminary hearing to show probable cause that the allegations are true.

That means the case will be able to advance to trial relatively quickly. In addition, Weinstein’s extradition agreement reportedly includes a provision that the trial begins

by November unless the defendant waives that right.

‘The carrot or the stick?’

By Desert Star Weekly A CNN executive has hinted that there need to be more forceful measures to increase Covid vaccine uptake in the US after grumbling about the issue in an email that he mistakenly sent to a conservative activist.

The peculiar message was revealed by Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who showed a screengrab of the email in question.

“FW: #NEWS: A majority of unvaccinated Americans say they’re unlikely to get the Covid-19 vaccine, regardless of outreach efforts,” read the email’s subject line.

The author of the email, identified by Carlson as CNN’s Washington bureau chief, wrote to a colleague: “This is the point re: carrot vs. stick. The carrot is no longer going to work...”

Although the Fox host didn’t identify him by name, CNN’s Washington bureau is currently headed by the network’s senior vice president, Sam Feist.

The suggestive commentary likely would have remained shielded from public scrutiny had the CNN bigwig in question not accidentally sent it to Charlie Kirk, a popular conservative activist and commentator.

CNN confirmed the authenticity of the email but insisted that there was nothing newsworthy about its contents. www.desertstarweekly.com

“The email, mistakenly sent to Kirk, was simply acknowledging that current vaccination incentives are losing steam,” the network said in a statement.

Kirk appeared on Carlson’s program to discuss the strange email.

“Is it CNN’s stated position now that they’re going to try to administer medicine under the threat of punishment?” the conservative pundit asked.

Then, referring to the “carrot vs. stick” analogy used in the email, Kirk wondered aloud: “What does the stick look like in CNN’s world?”

Reacting to the segment on Twitter, CNN’s Brian Stelter argued that Carlson had twisted the email to push an “outright lie” about the news network.

“CNN has 4,000 staffers.

One exec sends an email about vaccine hostility, opining that ‘the carrot is no longer going to work.’ Carlson obtains it. And his show turns it into an outright lie: ‘CNN WANTS TO USE A ‘STICK’ ON THE UNVACCINATED,’” Stelter wrote.

The Biden administration aimed to have 70% of US adults receive at least one Covid shot by July 4. Around 66% of American adults have had their first dose, while 57% have been fully vaccinated.

Among the general population, 49% are fully inoculated. While

no federal mandates force Americans to get jabbed,

July 23, 2021

Extradition proceedings were halted last year because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Weinstein’s lawyers had argued unsuccessfully for his transfer to California to be delayed further on “humanitarian” grounds, given his medical ailments.

Werksman asked on Wednesday for a health examination of Weinstein, citing such concerns as his client’s vision.

“He’s going blind in one eye,” the lawyer said.

Starting in 2017, Weinstein was accused of

sexually assaulting dozens of actresses and other young women and of using pressure tactics to silence his victims.

Some of his accusers, such as actresses Rosanna Arquette and Heather Graham, said Weinstein threatened to block them from getting film roles if they didn’t do what he wanted.

“Anyone who abuses their power and influence to prey upon others will be brought to justice,” Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon said in a statement on Wednesday.

medical facilities, universities and other institutions have created their own compulsory vaccination rules.

Washington’s Covid czar Dr. Anthony Fauci recently

raised eyebrows after suggesting that local mandates would eventually require most Americans to get vaccinated if they want to be part of society.

lung cancer diagnosis can bring a host of emotions and questions, and “now what?” is one of the first. Assembling the right care team and creating a treatment plan designed uniquely for you is important to get you on the right track.

One of the first things to understand is that not all lung cancers are the same.

Comprehensive biomarker testing can identify specific mutations (also known as genetic “drivers”) in your cancer called biomarkers. These mutations cause cancer to grow and spread in different ways.

Learn more about comprehensive bio­ marker testing and how it can help you uncover the appropriate treatment options available with this information from LUNGevity Foundation.

What is Comprehensive Biomarker Testing?

Comprehensive biomarker testing is used for people living with non­small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to determine the presence of particular mutations or proteins in tumors.

It is the first step in precision medicine and helps ensure a patient gets matched to the right treatment at the right time based on the cancer’s biomarker status.

This testing is a way for a health care team to gather as much information as possible about a patient’s unique NSCLC, ideally before treatment begins. To be comprehensive, biomarker testing must test for all biomarkers that are recommended for your type and stage of NSCLC, based on the most current clinical guidelines.

The results of these tests help determine whether any of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration­approved NSCLC targeted therapies or a particular immunotherapy drug is right for you as part of the treatment plan. Sometimes a new treatment being tested through a clinical trial may be recommended based on which biomarker is found in the cancer. Comprehensive biomarker testing is most often used to plan treatments for advanced-stage NSCLC.

What Steps Should be Taken to Complete Comprehensive Biomarker Testing? n

Talk: Knowing your biomarkers can help your health care team treat your unique type of NSCLC. The first step is to talk to your health care team about comprehensive biomarker testing so you don’t miss any potentially crucial information or treatment options. It is important to ask for comprehensive biomarker testing so your doctor tests for all recommended biomarkers.

You’ll also want to explore whether comprehensive biomarker testing is

covered by your private insurance, Medicare or Medicaid plan.

Test: Your medical team will test for all recommended biomarkers that could be causing your NSCLC to grow and spread. Comprehensive biomarker testing results can take four weeks or longer, but they can help your health care team understand more about your specific type of cancer.

Treat: Comprehensive biomarker testing results can help inform your individualized treatment plan and pro­ vide information necessary for your health care team to determine treatment options specific to your cancer type.

How is Comprehensive Biomarker Testing Done?

Tissue biopsies are the only way to confirm a diagnosis of lung cancer; they are also the standard way to detect driver mutations.

There are many different biopsy techniques that can be used to obtain the tumor tissue.

After the tumor tissue is collected, it is sent to a laboratory for testing. In comprehensive biomarker testing, driver mutations in multiple genes are tested for at the same time, rather than one mutation at a time, including not only the ones with approved treatments, but also other known driver mutations.

This is because some of the driver mutations without currently approved treatments may have treatments being tested now or in the near future. Testing positive for a biomarker that currently does not have an approved treatment may make you eligible for a future treatment option or an available clinical trial.

Comprehensive biomarker testing results are analyzed by a pathologist and recorded in a pathology report. It is a good idea to get a copy of your pathology report for your own information and have it available to show other doctors, if necessary.

From Diagnosis to Making a Difference Stephen Huff, a professional baseball player turned history teacher, was 29 and two months away from marrying the love of his life, Emily, when he was diagnosed with stage IV non­small cell lung cancer. He was in shock, but his fiancee and mother became advocates who learned about comprehensive biomarker testing.

His oncologist wanted him to join a clinical trial for an experimental treatment, but his family insisted they wait for the biomarker testing results before deciding on a treatment path. That’s how they learned he was ALK positive, a rare mutation that can be treated through targeted therapy.

Huff has been on the same targeted therapy for three and a half years. Since his diagnosis, he and Emily got married, bought a house and expanded their family.
