BNP Paribas Open Cancelled Daytona Everett This year’s BNP Paribas Open at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden has been canceled due to the declaration of a public health emergency for the Coachella Valley because of coronavirus concerns. The tennis tournament, often referred to as the fifth
major and one of the few outside the Grand Slam tournaments with both men’s and women’s play, was scheduled to begin women’s qualifying play Monday and main draw play Wednesday. The seeded women’s players were set to begin play Friday, one day before
Story and Photos by Pat Krause The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens celebrated its Golden Anniversary Gala on Saturday, March 7th. Over 600 people came to celebrate with the staff and volunteers of the Living Desert. The Living Desert and Gardens put on an elegant Gala. Guests entered the complex while listening to the Citrus College Blue Note Orchestra. DJ Baz and African style drummers and music went along with the African Theme. Guests were greeted by men in top hats and tails. This was the golden anniversary, so many guests arrived in black with items in gold, like women’s tops
and scarfs and men’s ties or gold jackets. The cocktail hour was another fantasy area with tall people walking around on stilts and dancers in costumes with large gold wings all around the city. A couple ladies were posing on tall, specially built platforms. Guests were interviewed on TV by Susan Stein of Palm Springs Life Magazine and Peter Daut of KESQ news channel 3. Refreshment stands were stationed all around the area, and guests could have their photo taken by the 50th-anniversary sign. Of course, this is a Living

in holding a large gathering of this size,” Argus said. “It is not in the public interest of fans, players and neighboring areas for this tournament to proceed. We all have to join together to protect the community from the coronavirus outbreak,” he said. Earlier Sunday, the
Riverside County Public Health Department announced the county’s first locally acquired case of COVID-19. County officials said a patient who tested positive was being treated at Eisenhower Health in Rancho Mirage. Continues on Page 17

Your Corporate Success Could Create Failure in the HOA
By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCAL Many talented successful people find themselves continually frustrated with volunteer service on their HOA board, and often are surprised to find themselves in conflict regarding their HOA service. This can be rooted in the failure to understand that HOAs run very differently than businesses, and some of the practices which bring career success are not what the HOA needs. Governing the HOA is very different than running a business. One such difference is the “chain of command.” In one’s career, whether in business, government service, or elsewhere, the hierarchy is vertical – someone supervises you and you supervise others, and you are expected to personally exercise authority quickly and efficiently. In the normal business setting, officers are expected to act, and the decisionmaker is typically a single person. However, in the HOA, the decisionmaker is not one person, it is a group – the HOA’s board of directors. The HOA president has only one vote and needs to obtain the agreement of other directors before a decision is made. The association acts by vote of its board – corporate action is BOARD action. Another major difference is the president’s role. The business corporate president is empowered and expected to
make important decisions about all major operational issues. On the other hand, the typical HOA president controls very little. The HOA president normally sets the agenda and chairs the meeting but is only one of the decisionmakers. So, HOA presidents are coalition builders working to lead the board to a consensus. Some presidents misunderstand their lack of power by misinterpreting HOA bylaws, which often recite the president is to use the powers normally accorded to a chief executive officer - but that must be interpreted in the context of the HOA, not a business. The HOA president normally serves at the pleasure of the board. Unlike corporate presidents, they have no contract, and the HOA officer can be replaced without reason at any time by a board majority. There is no doubt that HOA governance is less efficient than the management of a business. March 11, 2020
However, in the business the officer is paid and in return is also held accountable for the officer’s decisions and actions. In the HOA, the officer is not compensated, and if following proper board process (as opposed to individual actions) is not held personally accountable (i.e. liable) for board decisions. Business executives often are applauded for being action-oriented and quick to make decisions. However, the association president who “takes things into their own hands” may find that such decisions are much quicker and more efficient. However, that president may be exposed to avoidable liability, since the non-profit corporation acts through its board of directors, not one officer. Sometimes the board needs an individual director to act, and so grants specific authority to act. That always should be documented in the
minutes. When circumstances do not permit a board decision before the officer acts, that officer should seek board ratification of that decision as soon as possible, to document the decision was authorized. Another important difference is that the business executive controls – while the HOA officer serves. The HOA president is the lead servant, not the boss. Understand how volunteer service is different, and it just might become smoother. Kelly G.

“State of the Child” Honors CA Leaders’ Commitment to Kids’ Well-Being
By Desert Star Staff LOS ANGELES - California is taking action on multiple fronts to combat Trump administration policies that the state sees as harmful to children, according to State Attorney General Xavier Becerra. Becerra was among those honored yesterday at the “State of the Child” 2020 event. Mayra Alvarez, president of The Children’s Partnership, notes that California’s AG has launched multiple lawsuits to protect access to healthcare and public benefits. “That really demonstrates California’s leadership, in upholding our values of diversity and family and community that make sure we put our children front and center,” says Alvarez. Becerra condemned the administration’s new “public charge” rule for sowing confusion among immigrant families - leading
many to needlessly withdraw from programs that benefit their U.S.-born children. He also criticized attempts to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census, which eventually were nixed by the courts. The event also honored Gianinna Perez, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s senior adviser on early childhood. Alvarez praises Newsom’s decision to create a new agency dedicated to young children. “A new Department of Early Childhood Development would really bring education and health together to really take a comprehensive whole child, whole family approach,” says Alvarez. This year’s State of the Child event commemorates the 25th anniversary of founding of The Children’s Partnership, a nonprofit that has successfully pushed for extra funding in

Trust Still High for CDC, Doctors in Coronavirus Outbreak
More than three-quarters of Americans believe the CDC and doctors will help reduce their risk from coronavirus. (JHDT Productions/Adobe Stock)
By Desert Star Staff EUGENE, Ore. -- Despite these politically divided times, Americans still are ready to listen to health officials during the coronavirus epidemic. That’s according to a February survey from the University of Oregon, which finds trust is high in doctors, and in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Ellen Peters, director of the university’s Center for Science Communication Research, says respondents’ politics predicted their trust in politicians - but not health officials. “Even among conservatives, President Trump was not the most trusted,” says Peters. “It turns out that
among conservatives and liberals alike, the most trusted were the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as people’s doctors.” The survey says 80% of people who identified as “conservative” and 75% of “liberals” said they trusted the CDC to reduce the risk of the coronavirus outbreak. Similarly, 80% of conservatives and 77% of liberals have faith in their doctors. In Oregon, there are three confirmed cases of novel coronavirus, according to authorities. The survey also found people trust their own ability to reduce their personal risk. But Peters notes that folks still need accurate
information they can act on. “If they get these messages from trusted sources, that’s likely to have more impact on them,” says Peters. “They’re going to be more likely to follow those recommendations of the proper techniques to be using -- to do things like wash your hands, cover your coughs and sneezes, etc.” In the past week, the Trump administration has said it will tighten control over health officials’ messaging on coronavirus. Peters says it isn’t clear how that will affect trustworthiness, but it could slow news at a time when information needs to be released quickly.
Community Challenge Grants Promote Livable Cities By Desert Star Staff SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Projects that promote livability for people of all ages may be eligible for thousands of dollars in grants as part of the Community Challenge grant program from AARP.

I-10 Construction Between Banning, Cabazon Includes Lane, Ramp Closures
By Ceci Partridge NBC PS Highway construction along Interstate 10 between Banning and Cabazon will resume Monday, and Caltrans advised motorists to be prepared for lane and ramp closures during the nighttime and early morning hours throughout the week.
The I-10 Pavement Rehabilitation Project, dubbed the I-10 Tune-Up, is a three-phase project spanning nearly 20 miles from Pennsylvania Avenue in Beaumont to the Highway 111 interchange in Palm Springs. Daytime work, which is restricted to the eastbound
center median, is scheduled daily from 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, between Eighth Street in Banning and Main Street in Cabazon and includes no lane closures, according to Caltrans. But lane closures could possibly bring each direction down to one lane at times between Banning and Cabazon from 7 p.m. to 6:30 a.m., Monday through Friday, where crews will be working in the center median, as well as doing shoulder work. Intermittent ramp closures are also scheduled throughout the week at three ramps in Banning: 22nd Street, Malki Road and Hargrove. The ramps could close anywhere
between 7 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. No daytime lane closures are currently planned, said Terri Kasinga, a Caltrans spokeswoman. The I-10 Tune-Up includes the replacement of guardrails, repaving lanes Nos. 3 and 4, replacing slabs in lanes Nos. 1 and 2 and upgrading various on- and off-ramps to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Construction began in February and is scheduled to wrap up by the end of 2022. The first phase spans from Eighth Street in Banning to Main Street in Cabazon. The next phase will include roadways between Beaumont and Banning, and lastly, from Cabazon to Highway
111 in Palm Springs. The $210 million project is paid for predominately with Senate Bill 1 money, also known as the “gas tax.” The remainder is through federal funds, as well as a sliver of additional state funding, according to Caltrans. Temporary crossover lanes will be constructed at times, which will include thinnerthan-traditional lane widths. The speed limit will also be reduced to 60 miles per hour. For more information, visit http://www.i10tuneup. com and sign up for project alerts, or call the construction hotline 833-i10-TUNE. Source: NBC Palm Springs

Court Tentatively Blocks ‘Remain in Mexico’ Rule for Asylum Seekers
By Desert Star Staff TUCSON, Ariz. -- Despite a ruling that could allow asylum seekers now waiting in Mexico into Arizona, social service agencies don’t expect a huge influx across the border. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the Trump administration’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, but only within its jurisdiction in Arizona and California. The policy forces asylum seekers to stay across the border until their court hearings. Connie Phillips, president and CEO of Lutheran Social Services of the Southwest, said they are prepared to assist migrants entering Arizona and other states, and are expecting a manageable, “metered” flow of asylum seekers. “There was a point when there was more than 1,000 people a week being
released into central Phoenix. And those numbers now have dropped back to the more normal number of 100, 150, 200,” Phillips said. The Ninth Circuit’s ruling will go into effect this Thursday, March 12, unless the U.S. Supreme Court agrees to review the lower court decision. For the migrants, asylum is an uphill battle. A Syracuse University study found in 2019, only about 30% of applicants were ultimately granted asylum status. Plaintiffs in the case tentatively agreed to an “orderly unwinding” of the decision, to avoid a massive surge of the 60,000 asylum seekers now in Mexico. Phillips added fewer may be admitted because U.S. officials have streamlined the hearings process. “There’s less chance of people being released to their

The Trump administration sent additional U.S. Army troops to border areas last week because of an initial rush to cross into the U.S. after the ruling. Human rights
groups call the stay-in-Mexico policy “inhumane,” forcing people to stay in unsafe refugee camps or on the streets as they wait weeks or months for a hearing.
Education Advocates Say Cyber Charters Spend Millions on Ads
By Desert Star Staff Cyber charter schools appear to be spending millions of dollars in taxpayer money on advertising, but at least one refuses to show the details. Commonwealth Charter Academy is one of the biggest cyber charters in the state and recruits students through extensive and expensive advertising. But the school responded to a Right to Know request by claiming details about those expenses are “protected trade secrets” and turned

over documents that were heavily redacted. According to Susan Spicka, executive director of Education Voters of Pennsylvania, those documents still revealed some disturbing numbers. “The cyber charter school is spending, on average, probably $7 million to $8 million a year on contracts with lobbying and public relations firms and on services,” she points out. Spicka says state law needs to be changed to
require transparency in the way charters spend nearly $2 billions of taxpayer money every year. Cyber charters receive the same amount of taxpayer money per student as brickand-mortar public schools. Spicka calls the advertising budget excessive and says the public has a right to know how those funds are being spent. “We don’t know if they’re using this money to try to skew their enrollment,” she states. “Are they focusing March 11, 2020

Are they trying to exclude some students or student populations?” Spicka says the $8 million spent on advertising could have hired 80 or more teachers in underresourced classrooms or hundreds of teachers’ aides. Spicka wants to see the law changed to require that all charter school advertising state that it was paid for with taxpayer dollars and to require charters and school districts to post those expenses
online for the public to see. “I think most Pennsylvanians would be really surprised to learn that cyber charter schools are using the property tax dollars they get to fund protected trade secrets of these high-priced lobbying and advertising firms,” she states. A bill was introduced last year to require that all charter school advertising referring to tuition stipulate that it is taxpayer funded, but the bill did not come to the floor for a vote.

Colorado’s Community Health Centers Prepared for Coronavirus
By Desert Star Staff ALAMOSA, Colo. -Community Health Centers in Colorado are expected to play a critical role in the nationwide response to the coronavirus known at COVID-19. In addition to underscoring the importance of washing hands and covering up when you cough or sneeze, Evelyn Wiant, a communications specialist with Valley-Wide Health Systems, says if you do experience serious flu-like symptoms, before heading to the clinic, it’s a good idea to contact your primary care provider. “And asking if it’s a good time to come in for a test,” she explains. “Because one thing we don’t want to do is fill up waiting rooms with people with upper respiratory illness symptoms, who are sneezing all over other patients.” At this point, Wiant says unless you have traveled overseas or been in close
contact with someone who has, a fever, a runny nose and coughing are most likely a common cold or flu. Colorado’s health centers are in regular communication with the national CDC Coronavirus Response Task Force, and Wiant says centers have trained for these scenarios and are ready for any challenges ahead. Health centers provided critical front-line care during outbreaks of H1N1 and other infectious diseases. But because centers are operating with temporary funding passed by Congress in December, they face yet another fiscal cliff. Wiant says without permanent funding, it’s increasingly hard to attract and retain the staff needed to respond during times of crisis, especially for centers such as Valley-Wide operating outside of large metropolitan areas. “It’s very hard for community health centers to

this is a good choice for them.” The current stopgap funding measure is set to expire May 22, which would put critical public health services at risk as the nation struggles to respond to the
potentially deadly outbreak. The American Academy of Family Physicians recently called on Congress to make long-term funding for health centers a top priority.
ICE Agents on Campus Subject of Memo to Albuquerque Schools
Albuquerque, a self-identified “Immigrant Friendly City” said the number of individuals arrested and detained there by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents increased dramatically early last month. (afsc.org) By Desert Star Staff ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- A memo will soon go out to principals in New Mexico’s largest public-school district, reminding them about the district’s policy on U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The Albuquerque school district has the most kids in the state, and its policy prohibits federal agencies from coming onto a school campus
unless they have a warrant. Brandon Baca, who manages the district’s Refugee and Newcomer Supports Program, says the memo follows a February statement from city officials
referencing a “recent surge” in local arrests by ICE. “It was in response to the activity that we’ve seen throughout the city,” says Baca. “There has been about a ten-fold increase in the number of detentions by ICE in Albuquerque.” The memo instructs principals not to defy ICE agents, but instead call their supervisor or school district police should ICE officers demand access to school property. ICE has not acknowledged increased activity in Albuquerque, but the federal government has said it will increase its presence in major sanctuary cities as the Trump administration seeks to put pressure on the sanctuary city movement. Baca says the memo which states that schools are meant to be safe places for all children, including those believed to be in the country
illegally - was implemented in 2006. But he adds the district wants principals to educate students about their rights, so they can defend them should it be necessary. “Because there’s been this increase, we felt it would be a good time, because we know that that’s going to be deeply affecting our schools very soon, and probably already has begun to affect a lot of our schools.” Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller signed the city’s “immigrant-friendly” resolution in April 2018, limiting resources the city can use to enforce federal immigration laws. The resolution has been controversial, as the Trump administration has warned it could make the city ineligible for millions of dollars in federal grant funding to fight violent crime.

ID Democrats in Spotlight Ahead of Presidential Primary
By Desert Star Staff BOISE, Idaho -Idaho Democrats on Tuesday will help shape the presidential race. But as the state’s population explodes, it’s unclear what role Democrats will play on a statewide level going forward. Former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont are in a tight race for the Democratic Party nomination and looking to pick up as many of Idaho’s www.desertstarweekly.com
20 delegates as they can. In the 2016 caucuses, Sanders captured more than three-quarters of votes in Idaho. Jaclyn Kettler, a political scientist at Boise State University, says results could be different this year because Idaho Democrats have moved from a caucus to primary system. She points to the caucuses’ problems. “Some of them had just incredibly long lines,” she explains. “Some people
couldn’t actually stay to cast a vote in the caucus. So having the primary’s going to open it up, make it much easier for people to participate.” The Republican and the Constitution parties also are holding primaries on Tuesday. Idaho has been one of the nation’s fastest-growing states over the past decade, and some Democratic Party officials are contemplating a bluer future for the state. Democrats picked up three state House seats in March 11, 2020
2018, which had a historic number of voters for midterm elections in Idaho. But Kettler says Democrats’ increases are in concentrated areas, and it’s unclear if new Idahoans lean to the left or are split between left and right. “There’s, perhaps, some positive momentum, but it’s been a very long time since there’s been a statewide Democratic elected official,” she states. “So, you know, while there has been some
positive movement, it’s still a very Republican state in terms of who’s in office.” Republicans hold all the statewide offices in Idaho, as well as super majorities in the House and Senate. The last Democratic governor was Cecil Andrus, whose second stint as governor lasted into the mid-1990s. A Democratic Party presidential candidate hasn’t won Idaho since Lyndon Johnson in 1964.

‘Clueless’ is 25! Would Moviegoers Miss a Big-Screen Party for the Era-Defining Comedy? As If!
By Desert Star Staff DENVER, - It’ll be the phattest high school reunion ever when Cher Horowitz and the Class of 1995 come back to the big screen as Fathom Events and Paramount Pictures celebrate the 25th anniversary of writer-director Amy Heckerling’s film “Clueless” for three days only this May. Tickets are available beginning today at www. FathomEvents.com or at participating movie theater box offices. “Clueless” will be accompanied by a totally classic featurette about the teen slang (“What-ever!”) created for the film that became part of the American vernacular. “Clueless” will play on May 3 at 4:00 p.m. www.desertstarweekly.com
and 7:00 p.m., then again on May 4 and 6 at 7:00 p.m. both days (all local times) in more than 700 movie theaters nationwide. A full list of theater locations is, like, totally available on the Fathom Events website (theaters and participants are subject to change). Initially released in July 1995, “Clueless” stars Alicia Silverstone as Cher Horowitz, whose school life, fashion sense, and obsession with matchmaking all combine in a comedy loosely based on Jane Austen’s Emma – updated to late 20th century Beverly Hills. Silverstone leads a sparkling cast that includes Paul Rudd, Stacey Dash, Brittany Murphy, Elisa Donovan, Justin Walker, Donald Faison, Breckin
Meyer, Jeremy Sisto, Wallace Shawn, and Dan Hedaya. From the start, “Clueless” charmed both audiences and critics, with The New York Times calling it “as eye-catching and cheery as its star,” and Variety hailing it as “a fresh, disarmingly bright and at times explosively funny comedy.” In the quarter of a century since its release, “Clueless” has become a quintessential part of popular culture – and
March 11, 2020
a movie as cherished as Cher imagines herself to be. Entertainment Weekly included “Clueless” on its list of “New Classics,” and, in 2009, named it one of the best comedies of the previous 25 years. And … hell-o? It gets better: The BBC has ranked “Clueless” as one of the 50 best comedies in movie history. The film is also available on Digital and Blu-ray. “Whether you’re seeing it
for the first or the hundredth time, Clueless remains one of the funniest and most charming movies – while never losing its satirical bite or wonderful view of the world as it existed 25 years ago,” said Fathom Events VP of Studio Relations Tom Lucas. “We couldn’t be more delighted to bring it back to the big screen if Cher herself had asked us.” Source: PRNewswire

WITH LADY BEVERLY COHN
“The Burnt Orange Heresy” – A Mystery Thriller
Italian director Giuseppe Capotondi’s directing career kicked off at age 23. He cut his teeth on music videos and over 250 TV commercials, subsequently winning international awards. The Burnt Orange Heresy, his second feature, is a fascinating Hitchcockian mystery that has more twists and turns than a salted pretzel. Capotondi’s casting is superb with Claes Bang as James Figueras, an art critic whose successful days are behind him. He fills his time, giving lectures to uninformed art audiences, which changes quickly when he meets Berenice Hollis, played by Elizabeth Debicki. Their romantic adventures takes them to the magnificent Lake Como home of Joseph Cassidy, a wealthy art dealer played by Mick Jagger. He commissions James to steal a painting from the reclusive, famous artist Jerome Debney, played by the iconic Donald Sutherland. Once James and Berenice meet this eccentric artist, the story does a 360. It takes off into the most unexpected, dark places with James’ desperation catapulting him into a complicated web of deceit out of which there is no escape. When you think you’ve figured it out, along comes another totally unexpected, shocking turn of events that will leave you on the edge of your seat to the final frame and beyond. Director Capotondi and Claes Bang sat down for an interview with a small group of select journalists, and the following has been edited for content and continuity.

5 Ways To Make Failure The Best Thing That Ever Happened To You
By Desert Star Staff Steve Jobs once said that getting fired from Apple – the global tech giant he co-founded – was the best thing that could’ve ever happened to him. In Jobs’ case, starting anew removed the burdens of success that he felt at Apple and freed him to enter a new and productive creative period. Jobs’ reflection on his career path illuminates the adage, “When one door closes, another door opens” – but with a twist that applies to many people trying to move on from a significant setback, says Chuck Crumpton (www. chuckcrumpton.com), author of The Jagged Journey: A Raw & Real Memoir about the NonPerfect Path of Life & Business. “The key,” Crumpton says, “is not getting stuck in the long hallway between the closed door and new door opening. That can happen due to the piled-up mental clutter of your failures. “Don’t let that happen. Instead, learn from those failures and let that knowledge free you to be your best. Ask yourself, ‘Have you had enough failure in your life to understand what success really is?’ ” Crumpton offers five ways to learn from past failures
and find lasting success: Do a deeper dive than you did last time. “Too many people take big jobs with good salaries while not thoroughly researching the company and the extent of the challenge they’re getting themselves into,” Crumpton says. “You might like the thought of overcoming and making it work, but you have to do the homework and honestly assess if there are too many headaches involved.” Know who you are. What have your failures told you about yourself? Crumpton says, be honest with yourself. Was the position a poor fit, did you overreach, or did the experience shed light on your strengths and weaknesses and what you need to be productive, happy, and successful? “Sometimes failure is a matter of simply falling short, and from that realizing where our real strengths lie for the next and better opportunity,” Crumpton says. “One of the best things about failure is it can give us a clearer sense of who we are and what we want. And that realization can be energizing and inspiring.” Know who your friends are – and aren’t. Crumpton says your first rule should

be to treat everyone the way you want to be treated. But that’s not always reciprocal. “You can’t forget who treated you poorly, who you couldn’t trust, and what you learned from that,” Crumpton says. “The friends you make and the work relationships that worked help us learn more about the type of people we want to be associated with. Who challenged you in a good way? Who made you think and grow as a result? And just as important are knowing the toxic types, you don’t want to be around and drag down the culture.” Remember your survival instincts. “Even in an experience that ended up in failure, we can draw strength and confidence from memories of making the best of a tough situation,” Crumpton says. “And if people blamed things on you, but you gave your best effort at the time, you can build on that focus toward success in your next opportunity.” Don’t share your secret. “Many people have been burned by telling someone near the top of a company their innermost desires for personal growth, future plans, etc.,” Crumpton says. “Keep it to yourself until you’re ready to

However, when it comes to fire and carbon monoxide safety, you can never be too prepared. Whether you are just beginning to take a stronger safety-first approach or looking to upgrade existing home safety equipment, keep these tips in mind as you spruce up your home for the season. Don’t Just Check Batteries, Check the Alarm: It’s a good idea to review your safety equipment and ensure everything is in good working order at least a couple times each year. For example, every type of smoke alarm must be completely replaced every 10 years whether it’s hardwired into your home or operates on a battery. New smoke alarms commonly come with built-in 10-year batteries, meaning no battery changes, but it’s a good idea to test the units regularly. In fact, most manufacturers recommend weekly. You can also use this time to double-check the gauge on your fire extinguishers, replace batteries in flashlights, test security systems and replenish first-aid kits.

2017. The anthemic “Count On Me” and “Good Times” may well be the highlights on the glorious album, but other standouts abound. Guitarist Brian Elmquist, lead vocalist Zach Williams and multi–instrumentalist Kanene Donehey Pipkin continue to deliver their soaring three-part vocal harmonies and stellar musicianship this time out but there is a burgeoning power in the depth of the lyrics and growth that shines bright across “Half Moon Light” from start to finish. The sophisticated “Wonder,” sumptuous “Wash It Clean,” driving “Friends” and delicate “Dust Settles” and “August” are among this writer’s other favorites.

The arrangements are potent, with blasting horns, in-the-pocket rhythms, sublime backing vocals and Hunter’s top-tier talent enhancing every cut across the fantastic Bosco Mann-produced disc.

NY Educators: Community Schools are the Future By Florina Rodov NEW YORK -- When Latoya Ramjit struggles to make ends meet, she turns to a food pantry that provides milk, juice, cereal, fresh fruit and vegetables, and even cleaning supplies and hygiene products. She doesn’t have to travel far, because it’s at her daughter’s elementary school, P.S. 67, just steps from their apartment in the Fort Greene community in Brooklyn, New York. Ramjit, who’s president of the PTA, helped found the pantry four years ago, certain it would become indispensable at a school where 99% of students are low-income and some are homeless. The food pantry at P.S. 67, also known as the Charles A. Dorsey Community School, is stocked by the Food Bank for New York City. This relationship, along with an alliance with Partnership with Children, which provides wraparound services including mental health care, has helped transform P.S. 67 from a failing school in danger of closing to a thriving community school that’s a hub of services for students, their families, and the neighborhood. The idea behind community schools is that poverty, housing instability, trauma, and subpar health care impede students’ ability to learn, so schools must mindfully address these challenges. While about 5000 community schools exist nationwide, they’re most prevalent in New York City, where Mayor Bill de Blasio launched the $200 million Community Schools Initiative in 2014 with the goal of creating 100 community schools. Over time, they’ve grown to 267 schools serving 135,000 students in low-income areas. According to a three-year study by the Rand Corporation released in January, they’re working. Community schools are improving graduation rates and math scores, while reducing chronic absenteeism and disciplinary incidents. And they’re expanding across the country. This particular reform is a departure from the punitive accountability, standardized testing, and school choice education reforms of the past 20 years that have disregarded poverty’s impact on test scores, shut stakeholders out of the decision-making process, applied market solutions to schools that function on the basis of human relationships not profits and losses, and diverted funding from public schools to privately managed charter and voucher schools. In her new book, Slaying Goliath: The Passionate Resistance to Privatization and the Fight to Save America’s Public Schools, education policy analyst and historian Diane Ravitch illustrates that these corporate education reforms have resulted in stagnant test scores, a narrowed curriculum, attacks on teachers, and

public school closures, which devastate communities. Since becoming mayor in 2014, de Blasio has moved away from his predecessor Mike Bloomberg’s tactic of closing low-performing public schools and replacing them with smaller schools and new staff. Though Bloomberg touted a 42% increase in graduation rates as a result of his reforms, his claim deserves greater scrutiny. A veteran teacher in Upper Manhattan who asked to remain anonymous recalled that credit recovery programs were rampant during Bloomberg’s regime. Pressured to increase graduation rates, administrators persuaded students to make up a year’s worth of failed classes by doing a worksheet packet, writing a few essays, and taking online quizzes where they could easily look up the answers. “After they submitted this mediocre work to their teachers, we were told to pass them,” the teacher said. It resulted in the high graduation rates Bloomberg is publicizing in his bid for the White House. It’s emblematic of a corporate education reform movement that’s tall on rhetoric but short on results. However, a resistance is growing across the country: Parents are opting their kids out of standardized testing, communities are protesting the closing of neighborhood schools, and stakeholders are marching with striking teachers for better funding in the Red for Ed movement. The expansion of community schools can be considered part of this resistance, and their common-sense approach of providing wraparound services and prioritizing stakeholder engagement are precisely what Ravitch and other experts advocate for. In fact, a deal to create 30 community schools was in the agreement that ended the LA teachers’ strike a year ago. During de Blasio’s Jan. 28 news conference at P.S. 67 to celebrate the findings of the Rand report, Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza said that community schools happen “in an organic way, not to the community but with the community.” Echoing the importance of stakeholder involvement, PTA president Ramjit said, “The adage ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ is true here at P.S. 67,” noting that more parents have gotten involved with the school since it became a community hub. In addition to the food pantry that’s open to families twice a month, the school also offers students onsite dental exams, vision screenings, and an asthma case manager. Each community school forms an alliance with a community-based organization that addresses its unique needs. For P.S. 67, that organization is the aforementioned Partnership with Children, which stations a community director at the school to concentrate on attendance

(Mike Hickey/@manabouttownnyc) issues and parental involvement, allowing Principal Kyesha Jackson to focus on academics. Partnership with Children also provides social workers and counselors who connect families to legal and housing resources. Furthermore, they run in-class workshops that help students navigate their feelings, which helped Ramjit’s daughter overcome her shyness. And they provide individual counseling and group therapy that uses art to work through trauma. The focus on mental health is grounded in neuroscience, according to PWC’s CEO Margaret Crotty. The Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University found that the trauma of food insecurity, homelessness, violence, and other adversities causes chronic stress. Without intervention, chronic stress becomes toxic stress, a neurological condition affecting the parts of the brain that enable kids to focus on their studies and behave in school. The Harvard center found that toxic stress can lead to depression, substance abuse, diabetes, cancer, and other chronic illness later in life. A preventive measure is connecting students to social workers who provide consistent, nurturing care. This whole child approach tackles physical, socio-emotional, and academic needs equally. While benefiting individual students, it also addresses systemic concerns. For example, restorative discipline practices such as positive reinforcement, talking circles, and community building instead of zerotolerance policies including suspensions and expulsions create a supportive school culture, according to Derek Anello, PWC’s VP of Programs. They also mitigate the chance that students will end up in the school-to-prison pipeline, which refers to the punitive discipline that starts in pre-K and pushes kids out of school, onto the street, and into the criminal justice system. Boys of color and those with special needs are disproportionately affected, but girls of color also face biased disciplinary action. Community schools also emphasize attendance. Obviously, students have to be March 11, 2020
present to learn, but it goes deeper than that. When kids are absent a lot, chances are there’s trouble at home: Perhaps a family’s been evicted or there’s no heat in their apartment in the dead of winter. By identifying these issues, community directors are able to connect families to services that can help them. Conversely, when attendance is up, it’s sometimes the result of enrichment classes that students enjoy, which informs the school’s decision to offer more of them. That’s because community schools prioritize student engagement. During the news conference at P.S. 67, Mayor de Blasio asserted, “Kids enjoy school and can’t wait to get there!” referring to classes such as art and robotics that spark creativity, and Freedom School, a summer literacy and cultural program that helps children avoid summer learning loss. This is a response to the standardized testing craze that forced schools to “teach to the test,” crowding out untested subjects and killing kids’ joy for learning. “Our children are more than just scores; they’re human beings,” Councilman Mark Treyger, a former teacher, declared, implying that focusing primarily on tests is dehumanizing. Historian Ravitch has gone even further, calling it educational malpractice on numerous occasions. Encouragingly, math and English scores are up at P.S. 67, as are attendance rates. Meanwhile, discipline incidents are down. Across the 113 (out of 267) community schools Rand studied over three years, it found improvements in attendance, math scores, and graduation and promotion rates. Among elementary and middle community schools, disciplinary incidents were down compared to non-community schools. Furthermore, behavioral incidents declined among Black students and students with disabilities. But disciplinary incidents among high school students didn’t decline. And while math scores improved, English scores did not. Still, the results are promising enough for Treyger to declare, “Every school should be a community school.”
The key to making this happen is patience, combining community schools with other programs, and a financial investment mixed with careful implementation. When a reporter asked de Blasio about the lack of progress in English scores, he explained that change happens slowly-child by child and school by school. Furthermore, he was confident that the collaboration with other programs such as Pre-K for All, 3-K for All, Computer Science for All, and AP for All will continue to move the needle. But careful execution is vital: An earlier initiative, Renewal, was rolled out haphazardly and failed to produce the desired results despite its $773 million cost. Still, money is essentialwithout proper funding, good outcomes are impossible in NYC or anywhere else. “Our kids have endless potential,” de Blasio said. “If we help them tap it, they have endless potential.” Community schools also emphasize student engagement with classes like art and robotics, as well as a summer reading program that kids enjoy. New York City Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza says the results at P.S. 67 and other community schools in the city are impressive. “Increases in graduation rates, on-time matriculation to the next grade level, early signs of increases in math achievement, significant reductions in chronic absenteeism - because we know that in order for students to learn, they have to be in the school.” Educators say the keys to community schools’ success are financial investment and careful implementation. There are now about 5,000 community schools open nationwide. This story was produced with original reporting from Florina Rodov for YES! Magazine.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: MARIA V. CELAVA, CASE NO. PRIN1802198. To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of MARIA V. CELAVA. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by MANUELA ROJAS f.k.a. MANUELA CELAYA, in the Superior Court of California, County of RIVERSIDE. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that: MANUELA ROJAS f.k.a. MANUELA CELAYA, be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: APRIL 23, 2020 at 8:45AM in Dept. PS3 located at 3255 E. TAHQUITZ CANYON WAY, PALM SPRINGS, CA 92262. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Petitioner: DORIAN L. JACKSON, ESQ. 21151 S. WESTERN AVE.

The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If 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. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

Conservative Judges Hold Sway in Supreme Court Abortion Case
By Desert Star Staff LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -After hearing oral arguments last week, the U.S. Supreme Court is now considering whether a Louisiana law requiring doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a local hospital can stand. President of NARAL Pro-Choice America Ilyse

Houge said the court’s current makeup is a major factor determining whether these types of restrictions will become easier to push through in states such as Arkansas. She said when the Supreme Court heard an identical case in 2016, it ruled in favor of a Texas clinic. “This is the first abortion case that the court will
hear with Brett Kavanaugh sitting, and I think we’re going to see whether he not only respects women and our individual decision making and our health, but also whether he accepts precedent,” Houge said. The Supreme Court is expected to issue a final decision on the case in June. Houge said the case is

significant because it could give the green light to other states to push similar laws. “If the court allows this law to stand, what it means is that states around the country could start shutting clinics down,” she said. According to the Guttmacher Institute, as of March 1, a slew of new abortion restrictions went
into effect in Arkansas, including a ban on the use of telemedicine to administer medication used to terminate a pregnancy and the requirement that women receive in-person counseling and wait 72 hours before the procedure is performed.
