Teachers union and LBUSD negotiate raises, Board approves Anita W. Harris Senior Writer
During its April 28 meeting, the Long Beach Unified School District (LBUSD) Board of Education approved agreements with the Teachers Association of Long Beach (TALB), granting retrospective salary increases plus a one-time bump to employees. The LBUSD Board unanimously approved agreements with TALB—a union representing 3,700 LBUSD teachers and staff—granting retrospective raises and a one-time “off-schedule” salary increase. The Board approved separate agreements for K-12 employees and early-childhood educators and staff that TALB had ratified on April 20. The Board also approved the same increases for non-represented teachers and management. Per the agreements, in June, qualifying LBUSD employees will receive a salary increase of 1% for the 2019-20 school year, retroactive to July 1, 2019. They will also receive an additional 2% increase for the 2020-21 school year, retroactive to July 1, 2020. As of July 1, regular paychecks will reflect both salary increases. In addition, in September, those employees will receive a one-time payment of 2% of their annual salaries from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021. see RAISES page 3

BACK FOR SECONDS? Tens of thousands in LA County overdue for second COVID shot City News Service Southern California Local News
While Los Angeles County continues to show progress in its COVID-19 vaccination efforts, figures released Monday show that nearly 278,000 people in the county may be overdue for their second dose, possibly due to concerns about side effects or a belief that one shot is enough. As of last week, more than 4.4 million people in the county have received at least one vaccine dose, and nearly 2.6 million had received a second dose, according to Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer. But county figures showed 277,902 people were considered overdue for their second dose. “There are many reasons why this number might be showing up,” Ferrer said. “One is that some of these doses are actually second doses for people who received first dose outside of L.A. County. Another is that people have simply forgotten to get their second dose. Some people may have been put off by side effects of their first dose or feel that one dose is as effective as they need and is going to be enough protection.” She urged people due for their second shot to get it, stressing that while one dose of the Pfizer and Moderna see VACCINE UPDATE page 7

Pet of the week:
Koda
Huskies are noted for their escape artistry, and Koda seems to be no exception. Koda was brought in to the shelter as a stray, and he’s now ready to be someone’s pet forever. He can be a little shy at first, but once he’s out of the kennel and senses good times, he’s energetic and active. He’s just a year old and is neutered. Adoptions are conducted through appointment, so call 562-570-PETS or email PetAdopt@longbeach.gov to meet Kratos. Ask for ID#A6557. (This rescue encouraged by the usual suspects.)

Records obtained from the Long Beach Fire Department show that calls to service for fires have increased recently. 2020 had more calls for fires than any other year in the past decade, a total of 2,430 calls. “Our call volume has continued to increase,” Heflin said. “Over the years, we continue to see an evolution of the calls to service that we continue to provide. The scope of calls for service has consistently increased.” The Long Beach Fire Department addresses a large variety of blazes: apartment fires, boat fires, brush fires, dumpster fires, garage fires, grass fires, house fires, stove fires, oven fires, vehicle fires, even mailbox fires. Heflin said that, as Long Beach’s population continues to grow, so does the frequency of fires. “The reality is, these are things that we, as a large city, are prone to,” he said. In 2020, the majority of calls for fires were listed as “unknown” fires, followed closely by trash fires, brush fires and vehicle fires. “We will continue to meet those needs and continue to meet those calls
for service,” Heflin said. “Even though some of our fire departments are extremely busy.” The National Fire Protection Association lists the top causes of fires as cooking, heating, electrical, smoking and candles. The association has a number of tip sheets on fire prevention. These sheets range from mitigation efforts for people with disabilities to safety and preparedness. “I love the sheets,” he said. “They’re really great and packed full of information, whether it’s cooking fires, whether it’s electrical fires, heating fires, smoking or candles, but then you even get into the seasonal fire causes.” Heflin said that, in the wake of increased calls for fires, the department continues to focus on an all-risks all-hazards approach, which focuses on capacities and capabilities that are critical to preparedness for a full spectrum of emergencies. This approach has allowed the department to adapt to the ever-changing emergency needs of the city. “It’s pretty significant,” he said. “That’s a testimony to the dedication and the level of service that we provide. Dedication, meaning that individuals, people that put the uniform on every day and go to work to serve the community.”

African American Cultural Center of Long Beach searches for stories of local Black military heroes for exhibit Kristen Farrah Naeem

Staff Writer
he African American Cultural Center of Long Beach (AACCLB) is asking local African American residents to share their families’ military histories for a new permanent exhibit. “If you have a military hero in your family that you think we should include, please, please reach out,” Judy Seal, a member of AACCLB’s Finance Committee, said during the center’s semi-annual meeting over Zoom on Tuesday, April 27. Recognition of Black military members is long overdue, with many veterans having been denied promotions to higher ranks and awards during their enlistment. Segregation was an everyday part of the armed forces until the practice was outlawed in the military in 1948. Infamously, Nazis who were captured by the United States government during World War II were treated better than Black US troops. Among many other examples, Nazis were able to sit in better train cars than Black US troops when traveling, and could drink

combat, African American workers also significantly contributed to the war effort in civilian roles. The former Long Beach Naval Shipyard, which operated from 1943 to 1997, played a major role in attracting African American families to the area during the Great Migration, a period of time from 1915 to 1970 where over 6 million African American people left southern US states and relocated to cities in the Northeast, Midwest and West. “The naval shipyard was seen sort of as a place to make a better living, to provide for their families and their children. So my mom and dad packed up in late 1939 and made their first visit to Long Beach with my dad seeking work at the Naval Shipyard,” Sharon Diggs-Jackson, AACCLB chairperson, said. She noted that, by 1950, around 40 of her family members had migrated from Alabama to Long Beach and
Southern California. “The naval shipyard– it opened doors for so many of our African Americans and it provided the type of jobs, and the security and the ability to be able to purchase a home that they had been looking for. Our Long Beach Naval Shipyard has played a significant role in the African American development here in Long Beach,” Diggs-Jackson said. Although the AACCLB doesn’t have a permanent location yet, it will start the beginning stages of organizing the exhibit while at its temporary home in a space provided by Evelyn Knight. “This is a permanent exhibit, and so, though we are in a temporary location right now, we are still going to focus on the first stage of bringing those heroes to light which will also involve having some conversations– conversations with vets,” Tasha Hunter, interim president of AACCLB’s Board of Directors, said. The exhibit will be funded by a grant awarded to AACCLB by the Long Beach Navy Memorial Heritage Association in 2020. The grants are awarded to “qualified historic preservation projects in the City of Long Beach,” according to the Long Beach Community Foundation’s website. The exhibit will recognize individuals in the Long Beach community, as well as others outside of Long Beach. “It was exciting to be able to apply for this grant where we’ll get to recognize our military heroes, our Black, our African American military heroes that helped us get and receive some of the liberties that we have today,” Hunter said. The AACCLB can be contacted by calling (562) 276-0818 or by emailing info@AACCLB.org

continued from page 1 “Given the difficulties that our students and employees have endured during our nation’s worst pandemic in a century, a priority for our district leadership was to offer a meaningful increase in compensation […] to help retain and encourage our amazing and resilient staff,” Superintendent Jill Baker said in a bargaining update last month. LBUSD teacher salaries start at about $59,500 annually. The Board also approved three memoranda-of-understanding (MOU) with TALB regarding collaborative co-teaching, training and professional development, and support for teachers who change assignments. Steve Rockenbach, LBUSD director of employee relations and ethics, said the MOU for training included five days of paid professional development prior to the start of the school year, which LBUSD conducted for the first time last summer.

Students listen to the teacher at the recently reopened Alvarado Elementary School in Signal Hill on March 29, 2021.
During its April 28 meeting, the Long Beach Unified School District (LBUSD) Board of Education learned that elementary students who fell behind in Fall 2020 can attend in-person summer school. LBUSD will soon invite the approximately 5,000 elementary school students who received below-standard grades in reading and math in Fall 2020 to participate in an in-person summer school program. The support, enrichment and accelerated-learning (SEAL) program will run from June 28 to July 23. Students will attend in-person classes on elementary-school campuses for 3.5 hours of direct instruction Monday through Friday over the four weeks. With an overarching theme of
“imagining a better world,” students will focus on reading, writing, math, hands-on science and creating art. Dual-immersion language options for kindergarten through second grade will be offered at some schools. Dr. Damita Myers-Miller, director and principal supervisor of the program, said the focus will be less on remediation and more on sparking interest through interactive learning. “We knew that our students had disrupted learning,” she said. “We needed to really think about how we were going to bring that curiosity, that engagement, and that love of learning back for our students.” Students will also receive incentivizing take-home educational supplies, including a “literary backpack” with four or five diverse texts, a microscope, ruler, jump rope, frisbee, fuzz balls and art projects, Miller said.

LGBTQ Center welcomes new executive director Carlos Torres Karla M. Enriquez
I
Digital Editor
t took a five-day drive across the country from Pittsburgh to Long Beach, but the LGBTQ Center’s new Executive Director Carlos Torres has begun his tenure and is getting acquainted with the community. Serving as an introduction to the Long Beach community, Torres held a virtual conversation with drag queen and comedian Jewels, taking time to also engage with those tuned in. The Thursday, April 22 conversation delved into Torres’ background, his vision as the LGBTQ Center moves forward and other developments. Torres was named the new executive director in late February after a nationwide search following the Center’s decision to not renew former director Porter Gilbert’s contract. Before coming to Long Beach, Torres was the interim director at the Persad Center, an outpatient mental health facility created to meet the needs of the LGBTQ community in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Torres has a vision for how the Center will continue operating health services. “[They] will continue to go strong,” Torres said. “We are working to enhance the services that we provide to the community. We are working on a
vaccination clinic for our community, related to COVID-19, we’re working on a PrEP clinic.” Torres also noted that the Center is working on providing primary care for transgender people. “We have a program right now making sure that trans individuals have the accurate information about sexual health,” Torres said. “And they have access to resources needed to protect themselves going forward.” The program also connects transgender people to other resources such as housing, employment, food and transportation. For the first time, the Center has a director of development, Myron Day, who has a history of helping organizations diversify fundraising efforts and resources. As a result, a few events are being planned including QFilms, the possible return of the Black and White Ball, Pride events and an AIDS walk. Torres announced that the plan is to have QFilms in person this year, with a virtual and drive-in component. “I wish I could take credit for Myron being part of our team,” Torres said. “But I’m certainly grateful that they’re a part of our team.” Torres also noted plans to find a new home for the ever-expanding programs and services of the LGBTQ Center.
More information on this development will be forthcoming. Engaging with the community present for the virtual event, Torres answered some of the audience’s most pressing questions, including where Torres saw the Center in the next few years. “I envision the Center in a beautiful new space where we can house all of our services,” Torres said. “Services for youth and families, services for our older adults, services for people seeking mental health, services for people seeking primary care. We’re dreaming big.” The Center has a five-year strategic plan and Torres hopes to double the annual income from $2 million to $4 million, although he did not address how during the event. Torres, who hails from Puerto Rico, also addressed what his role and the organization’s role would be in supporting staff members of color. Last year, former employees wrote an open letter to the Center’s board detailing a “hostile workplace and a culture of misogyny against Black and non-white women of color” by former director Gilbert. “As a person who is of Latino descent, the issue of equity and inclusion is very important to me,” Torres said. “It is important for me that our staff

The Center, he said, should be a “beacon of hope.” “I’m being purposeful about those actions,” Torres said.“Making sure that the people on staff right now and the people that will be on staff tomorrow and the day after are reflective of the communities we serve.”

Letters must be 500 words or fewer. The Signal Tribune will publish no more than one “pro” letter and one “con” letter on a particular topic in a single issue. The Signal Tribune does not print letters that refer substantially to articles in other publications and might not print those that have recently been printed in other publications or otherwise presented in a public forum. Letters to the editor and commentaries are the opinions of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the Signal Tribune or its staff. Although the editorial staff will attempt to verify and/or correct i nformation when possible, letters to the editor and commentaries are opinions, and readers should not assume that they are statements of fact.

Thinking of ditching your mask? City provides guidelines Emma DiMaggio Managing Editor
The State of California is loosening mask mandates to align with new federal guidance that says fully vaccinated people can gather outdoors or dine at an outdoor restaurant without face coverings.
Under new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance, people can walk, run, bike or hike outdoors with members of their own household without a mask—regardless of whether they are vaccinated. People who are vaccinated can also shed their masks for small outdoor gatherings and outdoor dining from

other households. “It’s important that everyone [vaccinated or unvaccinated] should continue to wear a well-fitted face covering and take precautions in public indoor settings and in crowded outdoor settings in venues,” City Health Officer Anissa Davis said. Mayor Robert Garcia and Davis announced the news at a press conference on April 28, urging unvaccinated residents to sign up or walk in to one of many vaccine distribution sites across the city. The City also announced that they’ve nearly doubled the hours of operation for vaccinations at the Long Beach Convention Center site. The site is now open Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. No appointment is needed to receive a vaccine at the site. “We continue to see tremendous growth in our vaccination numbers,” Garcia said in a statement. “By increasing non-appointment availability options and making it even easier to receive the vaccine, we hope to see those numbers go up even more.” Nearly 60% of Long Beach residents ages 16 and up are vaccinated.
Illustration by Emma DiMaggio | Signal Tribune
As of yesterday, the City had administered 175,694 first doses and 114,900 second doses. To be considered “fully vaccinated,” a person receiving the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines must be at least 14 days out from their second dose. For the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, residents must be at least 14 or more days out from their first dose. Garcia noted that walk-ups for vaccines have slowed down recently, but that the City is pivoting to new models—such as mobile vaccine clinics— to ensure hard-to-reach communities are vaccinated.
He said the City is currently working with the Long Beach Unified School District to set up vaccine clinics at schools so parents and students 16 and up can get vaccinated. Davis urged all residents to avoid medium and large gatherings whether or not they’re vaccinated. The Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are not 100% effective. These vaccinations are highly effective in protecting against severe illness and death, but cannot fully prevent the contraction of COVID-19. City News Service contributed to this report.
SETTLES,
continued from page 1 Wilson encouraged the entire council to attend, especially given the past year’s Black Lives Matter protesting sparked by Floyd’s death and the April 20 court decision finding that former police officer Derek Chauvin had murdered him. “Especially in light of the discourse that’s going on in our community and in the world at large, […] it’s a great opportunity for a lot of healing,” Wilson said. “To focus on our future, and our future together.” In 1981, Settles was a 21-year-old football running-back at Cal State Long Beach. He was also African American. SHPD officers, who were white, said they found Settles dead in his jail cell—hanging by a mattress-cover around his neck—two hours after they’d stopped him for speeding. They’d arrested him when he refused to state his name or show his driver’s license, they said. Claudine Burnett, author of several books on local history—most recently, “African Americans in Long Beach and Southern California: A History”—describes in a June 2020 Signal Tribune column testimony by a fellow inmate that he heard Settles being beaten. He also said he had not seen a mattress cover in Settles’s cell. A coroner’s jury ruled Settles’ death a homicide in September 1981, Burnett recounts. A crowd of 1,500 to 2,000 gathered in front of the station to protest the SHPD in December that year. However, a subsequent hearing by a grand jury recommended no officers be prosecuted due to insufficient evidence. “The Settles case was ultimately settled out of court, with both parties refusing to disclose the amount awarded to the family, though some sources claim $760,000 others $1 million,” Burnett found. Former Signal Hill Accounting Manager Joy Getz responded to Burnett’s column, stating that besides the undisclosed settlement, the City never made reparations for Settles’s death. “For years, the City of Signal Hill has tried to erase its ugly history of racism and police brutality,” Getz wrote. “Ron Settles was just as much a victim as George Floyd when he was beaten and hung.”

vaccines does offer some protection, it’s not complete. She said the county is also seeing continued declines in hospitalizations among residents 65 and older and in the severity of cases in people that are hospitalized, demonstrating the effectiveness of the shots. “Getting everyone fully vaccinated, which means two doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine if that’s the vaccination you received, or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, is the best hope for seeing these positive trends spread even more widely across all our communities,” she said. “The flu-like symptoms that many people have for a very short while after vaccination are signs your immune system is working.” “And while one dose does offer some protection, it is not as strong a level of protection as what two doses offer,” Ferrer said. “So if you’re overdue for your second dose, come back to us and let’s together spread better health throughout the county.” Ferrer said that in many cases, the county has contact information for people who have not returned for a second dose, and will be conducting outreach. “Unfortunately, we don’t have that information for everybody,” she said.

Two of Long Beach’s longtime Jewish nonprofits merge, will host town hall Emma DiMaggio Managing Editor
After over 70 years as separate organizations, Jewish Long Beach and the Barbara Ray Albert Jewish Community Center (AJCC) will merge into one. Unanimously passed by the boards of both agencies, the integration of the two nonprofits will signal “the dawn of an exciting and unprecedented new era for our Jewish community and its agencies,” said Jewish Long Beach CEO Zach Benjamin. Before the merge, Jewish Long Beach partially funded the AJCC through one of its grant programs, meaning the two organizations were integrally tied together long before the merge. “The missions are really complementary,” Benjamin said. “We share a commitment to ensuring that our area remains an environment where Jewish life can thrive and advance, really across the lifecycle from generation to generation.” Tracing its roots back to the 1929 creation of Jewish Welfare Funds, Jewish Long Beach follows the model of a Jewish Federation. These federations helped fund the movement of Jewish refugees fleeing persecution from Europe during the early- to mid20th century. Once World War II concluded and these groups had resettled, organizations like Jewish Long Beach shifted their focus. “We started really focusing on serving the local Jewish community’s needs and then evolved over the decades to serve the broad community from a Jewish value system,” Benjamin said. While Jewish Long Beach focuses on the creation and distribution of strategic grants and leadership development, the AJCC serves as a community-facing organization. “[The AJCC] serves more as a com-

Both Jewish Long Beach and the Alpert Community Center are housed in the Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Jewish Long Beach Campus, located to the East of Signal Hill. munity center, as a physical space, to gather and engage in community cultural activities,” Benjamin said. The AJCC provides early childhood education, after-school programs, summer camps, fitness and aquatics activities. Conversations about merging the two nonprofits have been brewing for years. “Amid the pandemic, it became very clear that this was the right decision for both organizations,” said Deborah Goldfarb who retired in 2019 as the CEO of the Jewish Federation and Jewish Community Foundation. She was recruited out of retirement in August of 2020 to serve as the interim executive director of the AJCC. Benjamin said that, although both organizations were able to have a “tremendous positive impact” during the pandemic, the two organizations wanted to make sure they’d be able to weather the storm during future crises. “We’ll be able to be even more efficient, effective and impactful in our ability to serve the community,” Benjamin said. “If those firewalls that currently—and have always existed— between us, from an operational standpoint, are just lifted.” He said that the community should expect the same quality of programming and services. For residents who have questions about the merge, the two organizations will be holding “Dream With Us,” a virtual town hall meeting to outline the integrated structure, mission and vision, and consolidation process. The town hall will take place on Wednesday, May 5 at 7 p.m. via Zoom. More information is available at www. JewishLongBeach.com.

istered 172,348 first doses and 111,693 second doses of the vaccine as of April 24, with 46,984 additional commitments to receive the second dose. According to state figures, there were 411 people hospitalized in the county as of Monday, with 102 people in intensive care. Dr. Christina Ghaly, the county’s health services director, noted again that the hospitalization figures may be inflated, because people admitted to hospitals for completely unrelated reasons may wind up testing positive for the virus due to an earlier infection.
County officials resumed administration of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines over the weekend, with required warning materials about rare instances of blood clots. The county’s chief science officer, Dr. Paul Simon, said Friday the county had about 13,000 doses of the J&J vaccine on hand, while another 25,000 doses may be in the possession of other providers such as pharmacies and health centers that receive allocations of vaccine directly from the state or federal governments. An advisory committee for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended Friday that the J&J vaccine re-enter circulation, with a warning about potentially dangerous blood-clotting that occurred in 15 people—out of about 7 million doses administered nationwide—and prompted a hold on the vaccine earlier this month. Within hours, the committee’s recommendation was adopted by the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration, clearing the way for administration of the vaccine to resume. “To end this pandemic, we need to use every dose we have—and the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is a critical piece of that strategy,” Garcetti said.
