Sustainable Arcadia: Officials talk conservation, climate change initiatives By Joe Taglieri

ities throughout the Los Angeles area and increasingly nationwide are taking steps to reduce climate-changing carbon emissions, conserve water and recycle. Arcadia officials shared a rundown of the city's sustainability efforts. “From wildfires to flooding, Arcadia has experienced the devastating impacts of climate change firsthand," City Manager Dominic Lazzaretto said in a statement to Arcadia Weekly. "We have made smart investments into green technology that has improved our bottom line and enhanced operations." Water conservation Conserving earth's most essential resource increasingly has become a higher priority for officials at all levels of government. Deputy City Manager Justine Bruno shared these water-related efforts in Arcadia: Regional stormwater reuse — Arcadia officials led the effort last year to organize a five-city Joint Powers Authority "to capture, treat and reuse stormwater regionally," Bruno said in an email to Arcadia Weekly. The JPA includes Bradbury, Duarte, Monrovia and Sierra Madre. "By working together, the Cities will save hundreds of millions of dollars and capture more stormwater," Bruno said. Tiered water rates — Arcadia established in 2015 a tiered structure for water bills that encourages conservation through seasonal pricing and penalties for overusing water.

Health insurers have been breaking state laws for years By Maya Miller & Robin Fields, ProPublica

Series: Uncovered:How the Insurance Industry Denies Coverage to Patients ealth insurers reject millions of claims for treatment every year in America. Corporate insiders, recordings and internal emails expose the system and its harm. In North Carolina, lawmakers outraged that breast cancer patients were being denied reconstructive surgeries passed a measure forcing health insurers to pay for them. In Arizona, legislators intervened to protect patients with diabetes, requiring health plans to cover their supplies. Elected officials in more than a dozen states, from Oklahoma to California, wrote laws demanding that insurance companies pay for emergency services. Over the last four decades, states have enacted hundreds of laws dictating precisely what insurers must cover so that consumers aren’t driven into debt or forced to go without medicines or procedures. But health plans have violated these mandates at least dozens of times in the last five years, ProPublica found. In the most egregious cases, patients have been denied coverage for lifesaving care. On Wednesday, a ProPublica investigation traced how a Michigan company would not pay for an FDA-approved cancer medication for a patient, Forrest VanPatten, even though a state law requires insurers to cover cancer drugs. That expensive treatment offered VanPatten his only chance for survival. The father of two died at the age 50, still battling the insurer for access to the therapy. Regulators never intervened. These laws don’t apply to every type of health plan, but they are supposed to provide protections for tens of millions of people. AHIP, a trade group that used to be known as America’s Health Insurance Plans, said new mandates are costly for consumers and states, “tie insurers’ hands and limit plan innovation” by requiring specific benefits. Nevertheless, its members take steps to make sure they are following these mandates, the trade group said. State insurance departments are responsible for enforcing these laws, but many are ill-equipped to do so, researchers, consumer advocates and even some regulators say. These agencies oversee all types of insurance, including plans covering cars, homes and people’s health. Yet they employed less people last year than they did a decade ago. Their first priority is making sure plans remain solvent; protecting consumers from unlawful

Arcadia High School, Bruno said. The general public gets "40% use of the turf fields for programming as a result," and the Arcadia Unified School District and the city have several joint-use agreements to share recreational space in order "to meet the needs of the entire community." Arcadia residents can also participate in the city's incentive program that rewards homeowners who achieve significant water savings annually because they have put drought-tolerant landscaping on their properties.

Drought tolerant landscaping — The city invested millions to convert all street medians "from water-intensive turf to drought-tolerant, water-wise landscaping," Bruno said. "This conversion balances aesthetics with function and helps save hundreds of thousands of gallons of water annually." Two Arcadia parks have switched from natural grass to artificial turf has also occurred at two City parks and is planned for a third. "The use of artificial turf over natural grass has saved the City water, hours of upkeep and maintenance, and results in more availability for programming and use," Bruno said.

new county agency aimed at addressing the homelessness crisis received a $660,000 grant to develop and launch a plan to ramp up how affordable housing is built, officials announced last Thursday. The L.A. County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency received the grant from the Southern California Association of Governments. The funds will help the agency establish a plan to guide operations, attract private investment capital and prevent homelessness in the process. "This is such a big moment, a new era toward making housing more affordable for all of us," Supervisor Holly Mitchell, who began her term this year as LACAHSA's first board chair, said in a statement. According to Mitchell, there's a frustration among county leaders with how "difficult and expensive" it is to break the logjam in the housing crisis. "LACAHSA is our firstever regional approach to making housing more affordable across the whole county," Mitchell said. "The award is like rocket fuel to help get us off the ground and make the first projects possible to accelerate how we produce

and preserve affordable homes and prevent people from falling into homelessness." LACAHSA was created by a 2022 state law introduced by then-state Sen. Sydney Kamlager, and is governed by a board of leaders and experts from communities across the county. The grant funds will also support the design of new pilot programs to simplify how affordable housing can be funded and built across the county of Los Angeles, officials said. One affordable housing pilot, for example, will unlock a tax-emption tool that would enable developers to tap into one single private loan -- bypassing the often "complex" public financing and tax credit models that make housing develop in the county so slow and expensive. County officials said the

pilot would correct a "key failure" of the affordable housing financing system, which is the costly and slow "capital stack process" that may force developers to assemble multiple public loans and tax credits over many years -- driving up costs. LACAHSA will "advance equity and prevent homelessness at the scale of the problem, helping people stay housed through countywide programs including eviction protection and rental assistance, and scaling up the preservation and production of affordable housing," officials said. "LACAHSA is the missing piece we've needed for decades in order to tackle our housing crisis with bold, scalable solutions across our whole county," Elise Buik, president & CEO of United Way of Greater Los Angeles,

said in a statement. "We've essentially created a `Metro' for housing -- something L.A. desperately needs in order to solve our housing crisis at the true scale of the problem." The property tax abatement tool is made possible by the state welfare property tax exemption (WTE), in which housing developers can enter into joint development agreements with LACAHSA. By entering into a joint agreement with LACAHSA, developers receive a tax exemption provided they guarantee quality affordable units long-term. As a public agency, LACAHSA can "attract private investment through this tax exemption, acquisition and land banking, and other innovative strategies," according to county officials. Similar approaches have been employed in San Francisco, New York City and Texas.

nited States Rep. Tony Cárdenas, D-North Hollywood, has announced Monday he will not seek reelection and will endorse Assemblywoman Luz Rivas in the 2024 election. The Los Angeles Times reported Rivas, D-North Hollywood, will run for the seat in Congress that represents the 29th District located in the San Fernando Valley. Rivas, 49, told the Times she is tired of the "constant state of dysfunction" the Republican Party has exhibited since the ouster in October of Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy. "Our constituents are paying the price," Rivas said in a Saturday phone interview with the Times. "Residents of the San Fernando Valley deserve a member of Congress that will focus on their needs, like I have in the state Legislature." Rivas is vying to be the first Latina to represent the district in Congress. Cárdenas became the first Latino to represent the district in 2012 when he was elected to Congress. "Luz is a genuine public servant who has dedicated herself to delivering opportunities for the Valley," Cárdenas told the Times. "She gets things done, and has always put working families first. I am proud to support Luz for Congress." Rivas became a member of the California Assembly in 2018 following the resignation of Raul Bocanegra, who was the subject of a sexual harassment investigation. Rivas chairs the Natural Resources Committee in the Assembly and secured millions of dollars in funding for her district. She is the author of 18 bills, 11 of which became laws.

Southland politicians remember former first lady Rosalynn Carter By City News Service

outhland officials were paying tribute to Rosalynn Carter Sunday after the former first lady died at the age of 96. "My condolences to President Jimmy Carter and the entire Carter Family on the passing of Mrs. Rosalynn Carter, the strong, loving, and supportive wife of President Carter," Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Los Angeles, posted on X. "Rosalynn Carter worked side by side with her husband President Carter in his efforts to bring peace around the world and in the building of homes for low-income Americans. Rosalynn Carter was a leader in her own right, as a longtime advocate for mental health. The Carters have always been recognized for their kindness, compassion, and generosity. Rosalynn Carter will be missed but never forgotten!" Waters added. "I always admired Rosalynn Carter and her decision to use her platform as First Lady to champion mental healthcare and women's rights," LA County Supervisor Janice Hahn said. "She and President Carter were the perfect team, and my prayers are with him and the entire Carter family as they mourn her passing." Carter died Sunday in Plains, Georgia, according to the Carter Center. Officials had announced Friday that she had entered hospice care.

Jimmy Carter, the nation's 39th president, is also said to be in hospice care. He is 99. "A champion for mental health, human rights, and equality, Rosalynn Carter lived a life full of compassion and service. My heart is with the entire Carter family as they mourn this tragic loss," posted Rep. Katie Porter, D-Irvine. "First Lady Rosalynn Carter will be remembered for her unwavering love of our nation and her inspiring love of her family, especially her soulmate President Carter. Keeping the former President and their loved ones in my prayers," said Jessica Millan Patterson, chairperson of the California Republican Party. The Richard Nixon Foundation in Yorba Linda said "The Nixon Family is saddened by the passing of First Lady Rosalynn Carter. "Over the course of her long and productive life, she worked tirelessly on behalf of those living with mental illness, the less fortunate, women and children, and oppressed people across the globe. During her years in the White House, Mrs. Carter represented the United States with dignity and warmth, both at home and on numerous trips abroad," the foundation's statement continued.

Whether wielding a hammer on a Habitat for Humanity project or employing her unique brand of gentle but firm diplomacy in countries around the world, she was an effective champion for peace and justice for people everywhere." Former first lady Melania Trump wrote that Rosalynn Carter "leaves behind a meaningful legacy, not only as first lady, but as a wife and mother. We will always remember her servant's heart and devotion to her husband, family, and country. May she rest in peace." Former first lady Michelle Obama released a statement that read in part: "Guided by her abiding faith and her commitment to service, Mrs. Carter used her platform in profoundly meaningful ways.

And she remained a champion for those causes -- and many others like building affordable housing for those in need and caring for our nation's caregivers -- in the more than four decades that followed. President Joe Biden said Rosalynn Carter "walked her

own path, inspiring a nation and the world along the way. "Throughout her incredible life as first lady of Georgia and the first lady of the United States, Rosalynn did so much to address many of society's greatest needs. She was a champion for equal rights and opportunities for women and girls; an advocate for mental health and wellness for every

person; and a supporter of the often unseen and uncompensated caregivers of our children, aging loved ones, and people with disabilities," Biden continued. "Above all, the deep love shared between Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter is the definition of partnership, and their humble leadership is the definition of patriotism. She lived her life by her faith."

Research links climatechange impacts to depression in high schoolers By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service

ew research found natural disasters and pollution linked to climate change are contributing factors to high rates of anxiety and depression among young

people. Researchers from San Francisco-based Hopelab consulted experts and interviewed youth climate activists to determine how climate effects like wildfire, extreme heat, drought, flooding, and air pollution are affecting young people's mental health. Emma Bruehlman-Senecal, research lead for Hopelab, is the author of the group's Climate Generation blog. "We are focusing on climate change because Hopelab's mission is to support the mental well-being of young people, particularly those from communities that have been underinvested in," Bruehlman-Senecal explained. "It's clear that climate change is deeply impacting youth mental health, particularly the well-being of youth of color." Hopelab's findings recommended more funding for youth-led activism but also to make mental health services more accessible by locating them in places where young people spend time, such as schools and community centers. Another Bay Area nonprofit, YouthTruth, paired up with the Sonoma County Office of Education to survey students over the past eight years. Jessica Progulske, YouthTruth lead for the county, said after 2017, when thousands of homes burned down in a series of wildfires, reports of depression and anxiety shot up. "Some of the early research around resiliency indicates that the ability to do something about it, as a student, has the potential to offset some of the later health risks associated with childhood adversity," Progulske noted. "In spite of climate change and climate anxiety and dread that comes with it." The Community Foundation of Sonoma County launched the Environmental Justice Coalition, which partners groups of students with a mentor to work on local environmental issues. Jimmy Simpson Jr., director of partnerships for YouthTruth, said the disruption of the wildfires, followed by COVID, took a toll early on. "There was a definite correlation between students significantly impacted, relating to less positive perceptions around engagement in school," Simpson reported. "As well as their sense of belonging, and academics." More recent surveys showed while the immediate effects of the firestorm have lessened, episodes of anxiety and depression continue to affect school performance.

Career corner: Thank you for all you do By Angela Copeland angela@copelandcoaching.com

he holidays are here again. Along with the turkey, the stuffing, and the loved ones, there’s more to consider. This season is a time of giving thanks. In every job I have ever had, I have felt most thankful for those I work with each day. It's not the work that makes things special. It's not the perks that come with the job. It's the people. And, it is those we work together with who allow our success to grow collectively. So often at work, we forget to thank one another. Because a task is expected of someone, we assume it should be done with no complaints, and with no thanks. Each task is simply a box to be checked. In reality, colleagues can choose whether or not to help us. And, they can choose how much to help us. Whether or not it's said, each person is putting some piece of themselves into their work each day. They are doing their best in spite of challenges. They're working hard even when things are tough at home, or when they don't feel their best. So often, the only thing they need in return are a few words of thanks. Thanking someone is easy. It's free. And, it's an investment in

your work relationship. How can you give thanks at work? There are many ways, and no one option is the correct one. You will likely want to use a combination of methods. First, thank someone in person. When you see them in the hall or when you meet one on one, give them a verbal thank you. Be specific. If they've done something to help you, mention it. Tell them you appreciate their help. Another great option is to thank or praise someone in front of a group. This often makes the most sense during a work meeting on

a project that the person has helped you with. As you present an update, you may make a brief mention of the person or team who helped to make the work possible. This allows people to feel like they're receiving credit for their work. It helps them to understand that you truly value their work. You can also thank someone via email, either individually or as part of a group message. This can be another nice way to recognize their work. And, if you want to do something extra special, you might consider a handwritten note. Or, you may want to get your

colleague a small gift. Or, you may want to consider taking them to lunch. Giving thanks can come in many forms. But, we can all agree that it's important to acknowledge others. Work is hard enough. Why not take a little time to acknowledge one another? It is good for everyone, and it can even be good for the company's bottom line. Employees who feel appreciated are more dedicated and are harder workers than others. Angela Copeland, a leadership and career expert, can be reached at www.angelacopeland.com.

Southern California unemployment rates rise slightly in October By City News Service

os Angeles County's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose to 5.2% in October, up slightly from a revised 5.1% in September, according to figures released Friday by the state Employment Development Department. The 5.2% rate was above the 4.7% rate from October 2022. In Orange County, where seasonally adjusted numbers were not available, the October unemployment rate was 3.7%, the same as the previous month. Statewide, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 4.8% in October, 4.7% in September and 4.1% in October 2022. The comparable figures for the nation were 3.9% in October, 3.8% in September and 3.7% a year ago. Total nonfarm employment in Los Angeles County increased by 51,900 positions between September and October to reach nearly 4.7 million. The private education and health services sectors led the way, adding a total of 15,500 jobs, according to the EDD. Riverside area Despite gains in the regional economy, Riverside

County's unemployment rate ticked up last month, according to figures released Friday by the California Employment Development Department. The countywide jobless rate in October, based on preliminary EDD estimates, was 5.2%, compared to 5.1% in September. According to figures, the October rate was roughly a percentage point above the year-ago level, when countywide unemployment stood at 4.1%. An estimated 60,300 county residents were recorded as out of work last month, and 1,100,700 were employed, according to EDD. Mecca had the highest unemployment rate countywide in September at 12.6%, followed by Coachella at 11%, Cherry Valley at 9.3%, Rancho Mirage at 7.4% and Desert Hot Springs at 7.2%. The combined unemployment rate for Riverside and San Bernardino counties — the Inland Empire — last month was 5.1%, up from 4.9% in September, the EDD said. Bi-county data indicated that payrolls only declined in miscellaneous unclassified industries, which shed

about 200 jobs. The information technology and mining sectors were unchanged, while the public sector swelled by 8,000 positions regionally, mainly as a result of educational institutions going back to regular schedules following summer recess. That represented the largest single-sector increase. Payrolls also grew in the agricultural, transportation, hospitality, health services, professional business services, financial services, construction and manufacturing sectors, which altogether added an estimated 19,000 jobs, according to

figures. The documented monthto-month rise in Riverside County's unemployment rate was apparently due to year-over-year statistical adjustments and related factors. Data indicated the statewide non-seasonallyadjusted unemployment rate last month was 4.8%. San Diego County The unemployment rate in San Diego County increased to 4.2% in October, up from a revised 4.1% in September 2023, and above the year-ago estimate of 3.3%, according to figures released Friday by the state Employment Development

Department. Last month's rates compare with an unadjusted unemployment rate of 4.8% for California and 3.6% for the nation during the same period. According to the EDD, between September and October, total nonfarm employment in San Diego County increased by 15,500 jobs to reach 1,582,700. Seasonal increases drove up government employment by 6,200 for the largest month-over advance. Most of the gain for October was concentrated in state — up 3,800 — and local government — up 2,300 — as staffing levels in public educational institutions increased, the EDD data showed. Additionally, retail gained 2,300 jobs monthover, accounting for around two-thirds of the 3,400 job increase in trade, transportation, and utilities. Private education and health added 3,100 jobs. Those industries which lost jobs in the monthover-month data include construction, down 1,000; manufacturing, down 500; and other services were down 400.

Between October 2022 and October 2023, nonfarm employment in San Diego County increased by 26,500 or 1.7%. As has been par for the course over the past several years, leisure and hospitality represented the largest year-over growth, increasing by 11,100 jobs. That growth was divided between accommodation and food services, up 6,900; and arts, entertainment and recreation, up 4,200. Arts, entertainment and recreation saw a 14% year-over increase. Private education and health services reported an addition of 10,100 jobs with the entirety attributed to a 10,400 gain in health care and social assistance, with 300 jobs lost in private educational service. Leading the year-over decline was professional and business services, down 3,800. Most of the job reductions were in administrative and support and waste management and remediation services. Other industries that reported job declines include manufacturing, with a loss of 1,800, and information with a loss of 600.

High interest rates, low inventory keep SoCal October home sales flat By City News Service

ome sales in Southern California were essentially flat in October, as the cost of borrowing remained high and housing inventory continued to be tight, the California Association of Realtors reported Friday. In the Los Angeles metro area, the median sale price of a single- family home was $785,000 last month, up from $780,000 in September, and an increase from $742,000 in October 2022, according to the association. Los Angeles County saw

single-family home prices of $893,650 in October, a drop from $914,640 the previous month, but a rise from the $854,560 median sale price reported one year ago, CAR determined. Orange County's $1.27 million median sale price for a single-family home last month showed a drop from $1.31 million in September. However, in October 2022, similar houses sold for $1.16 million, the association reported. In October, the Los Angeles metro area's ratio of

new houses for sale to new houses sold was 2.9, a rise from 2.8 in September. The ratio in October 2022 was 3.5, according to CAR's survey. Time on the market last month was 23 days. For Los Angeles County, the ratio was 2.8 last month, 2.7 the previous month, and 3.6 in October 2022, CAR determined. Homes were on sale for 21 days in October before being sold. In April, Orange County saw a ratio of 2.3, with the same figure the previous month, and 2.8 in October

2022, the association reported. Homes were on the market last month for 21.5 days. Statewide, October's median home price was $840,360, down 0.4% from September and up 5.3% from October 2022, the report concluded. Sales of existing singlefamily homes in California remained below the 250,000unit pace for the second consecutive month. The annual decline was the 28th straight drop, but the decline was the smallest in the last four months, CAR said.

Is it safe to drive after eating Thanksgiving turkey? By David Straughan, Stacker

round the U.S. each November, Thanksgiving is marked by people getting together with friends and family and enjoying a festive meal. For many, turkey is a central component of that meal. The traditional centerpiece of the Thanksgiving meal has a long and widely held reputation for bringing down the energy levels of those who consume it, and promoting the urge to hit the couch for a post-meal nap. But just as traditional to Thanksgiving as turkey is the use of cars to get people to and from wherever they are celebrating. Each year, traffic spikes around the country as nearly 50 million people take to the highway to travel throughout the long weekend. With the elevated number of cars on the road during the Thanksgiving holiday, Automoblog wanted to see if the reported effects of turkey consumption make it more dangerous to drive. And while it doesn't appear that eating turkey on its own can significantly impair one's driving ability and make it more likely to get into an accident, there are still very real factors related to holiday meals and celebrations that substantially increase the chances of a deadly collision. The sort-of-true myth of tryptophan The idea that eating a holiday-sized helping of turkey can induce a state of sleepiness is a common trope. This drowsinessinducing poultry property is attributed to the presence of tryptophan, an essential amino acid. Tryptophan functions as a precursor to several compounds, including the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin. Consumption of tryptophan has been observed to lead to drowsiness and related symptoms in scientific studies.

Photo by Claudio Schwarz on Unsplash

A meta-study published in 1983 titled "Effects of L-tryptophan on sleepiness and on sleep" examined the results of more than 40 studies over a 20-year period. It determined "[t] he weight of evidence indicates that L-tryptophan in doses of 1 g or more produces an increase in rated subjective sleepiness and a decrease in sleep latency (time to sleep)." However, while tryptophan consumption has been linked to an increase in sleepiness, that doesn't mean that the turkey is the only – or even primary – culprit on the plate for the post-meal sedation many people report feeling. For starters, the amount of tryptophan in a typical 3-ounce portion of turkey – 250 to 310 milligrams – falls well short of the 1-gram dose cited in the meta study. Taking seconds or even thirds of the bird still isn't enough to reach the amount used on test subjects. Turkey also isn't the only thing on the table that contains tryptophan. The compound is present in nearly all proteins – in fact, chicken has a higher concentration of tryptophan than turkey. In short, tryptophan can induce a state of drowsiness and turkey does contain tryp-

tophan, but not enough on its own to make it responsible for the sleepy feeling that sometimes follows the holiday meal. Feeling drowsy after a big meal? It's not (just) the turkey's fault We've established that the levels of tryptophan in turkey aren't enough on their own to make you drowsy. However, that doesn't mean that Thanksgiving dinner won't leave you ready for a snooze. While the turkey specifically won't mean you're destined for the couch, eating a meal – and especially a large one – absolutely can. According to a blog on non-profit library JSTOR, the main couch-inducing culprit is insulin. Eating food produces a rush of insulin in the body, and larger meals produce more insulin. Insulin affects several receptors in the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that controls nervous and endocrine system functions. Among those is the production of orexin, a neurotransmitter that is believed to serve as a stimulant and affect wakefulness. Studies have shown that the presence of insulin can inhibit the production of orexin, and therefore a person's alert-

ness. It is this rush of insulin that occurs after eating that can make a person feel drowsy or sleepy, according to the article, which says: "As it happens, orexin neurons in the hypothalamus are inhibited by insulin. The bigger the meal, the more glucose there is in the blood, more insulin is produced, which reduces the production of orexin. Lethargy ensues." However, this response is common to any meal, not just Thanksgiving. While lethargy may indeed ensue after the holiday meal, that meal on its own shouldn't make drivers substantially more sleepy than any other meal. This means that, following a few helpings of turkey, drivers can most likely exercise just the same levels of caution as they would after a normal dinner. The real danger is any alcohol you might consume with dinner You may indeed find yourself a little sleepy after chowing down on turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and other Thanksgiving meal classics. But neither the turkey nor the sizable portions of foods you might consume are likely to leave you muddled to the point of interfering with your

motor or cognitive skills. However, something else that diners commonly pair with that meal irrefutably can. Alcohol is a part of the holiday meal for many people. And while it may help some get into the holiday spirit and feel more comfortable around company, it is also the single leading cause of automobile deaths. According to data from the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA), alcohol played a role in 97,597 traffic fatalities between 2012 and 2021 – nearly 30% of all traffic fatalities. That translates to an average of 39 alcoholrelated traffic deaths every single day, or one every 37 minutes. Consuming alcohol and driving substantially increases the risk of an accident at any time of year. But during the holidays, the risk is even greater. The increased probability of accidents when alcohol is involved, combined with a higher number of vehicles, means that – by sheer number – the number of accidents is almost certain to go up. However, according to NHTSA data, alcohol plays a factor in even more accidents during Thanksgiving than during other times.

During non-holiday times, the NSC observed that alcohol played a role in an average of 34% of fatal accidents between 1982 and 2020. That average rate climbs to 39% during the Thanksgiving holiday. With already-elevated risk during Thanksgiving, don't make it worse Driving is inherently risky at any time. An average of 41,528 people died in automobile accidents each year in the U.S. between 1990 and 2021. The NSC found that an average of 115.4 people die in an automobile accident per day during the Thanksgiving holiday – slightly more than the average non-holiday day and even more than during Christmas or New Year's holidays. Your best bet is to avoid the roads entirely if possible. But for people who are taking the opportunity to gather with loved ones, other modes of transportation, like flying or rail travel, may just not be realistic in a country built around the use of private cars. If you must drive during the long Thanksgiving weekend, the science says it's probably OK to fill up on turkey before doing so. Even so, if you do feel drowsy after downing dinner, it's good to trust your judgment and wait until you feel alert enough to deal with the increased risk of holiday driving. However, if you decide to mark the occasion with a drink or two, your judgment shouldn't come into play. There is simply no reason to get behind the wheel after drinking and risk your ability – or that of others in your car or on the road – to relish a few servings of turkey with family and friends next year.

NOVEMBER 23-NOVEMBER 29, 2023 11

Health insurance denials often takes a backseat. “They just honestly don’t have the resources to do the type of auditing that we would need,” said Sara McMenamin, an associate professor of public health at the University of California, San Diego, who has been studying the implementation of state mandates. Agencies often don’t investigate health insurance denials unless policyholders or their families complain. But denials can arrive at the worst moments of people’s lives, when they have little energy to wrangle with bureaucracy. People with plans purchased on HealthCare.gov appealed less than 1% of the time, one study found. ProPublica surveyed every state’s insurance agency and identified just 45 enforcement actions since 2018 involving denials that have violated coverage mandates. Regulators sometimes treat consumer complaints as one-offs, forcing an insurer to pay for that individual’s treatment without addressing whether a broader group has faced similar wrongful denials. When regulators have decided to dig deeper, they’ve found that a single complaint is emblematic of a systemic issue impacting thousands of people. In 2017, a woman complained to Maine’s insurance regulator, saying her carrier, Aetna, broke state law by incorrectly processing claims and overcharging her for services related to the birth of her child. After being contacted by the state, Aetna acknowledged the mistake and issued a refund. That winter, the woman gave birth to a second child, and Aetna did it again. She filed another complaint. This time, when the state made Aetna pay up, it also demanded broader data on childbirth claims. Regula-

tors discovered that the insurer had miscalculated claims related to more than 1,000 births over a four-year period. Aetna issued refunds totaling $1.6 million and agreed to pay a $150,000 fine if it failed to follow conditions listed in a consent agreement. It was a rare victory. The potential fine, though, constituted less than .002% of the $6.63 billion in profit recorded by Aetna’s parent company, CVS Health, that year. Aetna spokesperson Alex Kepnes said the company resolved the matter in 2019 to the state’s satisfaction. Kepnes declined to answer why the insurer failed to fix the issue after the first complaint. Patients often don’t know what care they’re entitled to under state mandates. And one survey found that 86% of people with health insurance don’t know which government agency to call for help. Knowing how to navigate the system can make all the difference to patients socked with giant medical bills. In December 2022, Samantha Slabyk felt a sudden sharp pain in her lower right abdomen. The San Marcos, Texas, resident took herself to an outpatient emergency clinic, but after a CT scan revealed she had appendicitis, doctors sent her in an ambulance to a nearby hospital. “Everyone indicated that this was an emergency situation that needed to be dealt with promptly,” Slabyk said. Texas has long had a law requiring insurers to cover medical treatment needed by patients in emergencies. Yet that month, her insurer, Ambetter, wrote in a letter that it would not pay the $93,000 bill because the appendectomy took place at an outof-network facility. Slabyk was studying to be a physician’s assistant

and had been an EMT. Her fiance’s brother-in-law worked in medical billing and gave her advice on how to push back, as did her mom — whose cancer diagnosis meant she often interacted with health insurers. These connections and experiences gave Slabyk an unusual grasp of her rights and how the system works. Still, every time she reached someone at Ambetter, she felt like she was being stonewalled. Slabyk felt lost. By June, she was so fed up she decided to submit a complaint to the Texas Department of Insurance. Five days later, she received a call from an Ambetter employee apologizing and saying they would process the procedure as an emergency and pay up. Centene, Ambetter’s parent company, did not respond to emailed questions or a phone call seeking comment. (The state informed Slabyk it closed the complaint.) “I was around a lot of people who were knowledgeable and giving me very good advice,” Slabyk said. “And so if you’re just like, on your own, not in the health care system whatsoever, I mean, I just, I can totally see giving up.” California had to pass not one but two laws to compel insurers to pay for infertility treatments. And one lawmaker said insurers are still saying no often enough that he’s considering introducing a third. After legislators began requiring such coverage in 1990, some health plans took a narrow view. They refused to pay to preserve eggs, sperm or reproductive tissue for patients facing treatments for diseases like cancer that could impair their fertility. Some patients were delaying chemotherapy to try to get pregnant beforehand or going into debt to pay for treatments out-of-pocket. Regulators

forced insurers to pay in some cases, but elected officials worried that other patients were being denied this care. State Sen. Anthony Portantino worked with colleagues to amend the law in 2019, clarifying that these treatments must be covered. Even so, insurers have been putting up roadblocks. “Some of the insurers are taking a very strict approach that it has to be chemo,” said Portantino, who is a Democrat. For instance, patients who need cancer surgeries that could leave them infertile have faced denials. Portantino said he plans to work with California’s largest health insurance regulator to clarify that fertility preservation must be covered more broadly. If that does not work, he said he will turn to legislation once again. Other regulators are trying to bolster enforcement on the front end. Health insurers submit annual filings to the states where they operate, detailing the treatments and services the company will and won’t cover. Regulators check these policies to figure out whether an insurer is complying with state

mandates. In Vermont, the insurance department is using federal grant money to work with an outside company to improve these reviews. Through staff training and education, the department hopes to catch insurers not following state laws before Vermont residents face wrongful denials. Not all health plans have to follow state mandates. About 65% of employees who get insurance through their jobs work for companies that pay directly for health care. Those companies often hire insurers solely to process claims. Known as self-funded plans, they are regulated by the federal government and exempt from state coverage requirements. Employers increasingly are turning to these types of plans, which tend to be cheaper, partly because they don’t have to cover care that states require. (The federal government also imposes coverage mandates, but state laws can be more robust.) For patients, this can mean fewer protections from denials. When 57-yearold Sayeh Peterson, a nonsmoker, was diagnosed with stage 4 lung

cancer, her doctors ordered genetic testing to identify the cause. Those tests revealed that a rare gene mutation was, in fact, the culprit for Peterson’s disease and gave doctors the information they needed to create a treatment that targeted the mutation. Her state, Arizona, requires insurers to cover such testing, but Peterson’s UnitedHealthcare plan was self-funded by her husband’s employer, so the law didn’t apply. She and her husband were left with more than $12,000 in bills. In response to questions, UnitedHealth spokesperson Maria Gordon Shydlo wrote that “there is not enough medical evidence to support use of all those tests.” As Peterson undergoes a treatment plan tailored to the genetic test results, she is continuing to appeal the denials months later. “We’re told that we have this great insurance,” Peterson said. “But then they deny coverage for the testing that determined what my treatment would be. How do you even get your head around this?” Republished with Creative Commons License (CC BY-NC-ND 3.0).

Port of LA officials report cargo handling continues to grow By City News Service

argo volume rose by 7% in the month of October, an improvement compared to last year, Port of Los Angeles officials announced Friday. In total, the port processed 725,775 twentyfoot equivalent units, TEUs, in October. Loaded imports landed at 372,455 TEUs, and increase of 11%, and loaded exports came in at 121,277 TEUs, an increase of about 35% -- compared to October 2022. Empty containers totaled 232,043 TEUs, which declined by 8% compared to the same period last year. "Our terminal operators, labor and other stakeholders have worked hard to earn cargo market share back over the last three months," Gene Seroka, executive director of the port of L.A., said Friday during a briefing via Zoom. "Additionally, November is also shaping up to be a

strong month as we see a final holiday push and warehouse replenishment." Serkoa noted that between August through October the San Pedro Bay ports increased their market share containerized imports from Asia, rising to 46% from 42% last year. "Although there is still lots of room to improve here, we're starting to see more cargo headed back our way. The driving force behind these rising imports continues to be the robust state of our nation's economy," Seroka said. He noted, "The consumer price index declined to an annualized rate of 3.2% through October -- that's the lowest annual rate in more than two years." November is expected to be one of the port's better months of 2023, Seroka said. "Our data indicates that we'll handle about 800,000

TEUs as we see both a final holiday push and some warehouse replenishment beginning to happen," Seroka said. The National Retail Federation expects to see record levels of spending this holiday season -- an estimated growth between 3 to 4% compared to last year's numbers. Seroka also announced the return of Zim Integrated Shipping Services, relaunching an express service from South China direct to L.A. "We're pleased to welcome back Zim and its eCommerce Express service back to the Port of Los Angeles," Seroka said. "This is the fastest, most efficient route for trade with Asia." Steve Hughes, president and CEO of HCS International, joined Seroka for Friday's briefing. According to Seroka, Hughes' consulting company works with

major auto parts suppliers. He also sits on the FMC Shipper Advisory Committee, representing both the Motor Equipment Manufacturers Association and the Auto Care Association. Hughes said the automotive aftermarket includes independent automotive repair shops, tire shops, gas stations, oil and lube shops,

body shops and various parts stores for US distributors. He noted the automotive aftermarket represents $477.6 billion of the U.S economy and there are about 503,000 businesses employing 404.7 million automotive professionals. "We're on the verge of returning to pre-COVID normality, if you will,

Hughes said. He added, "... Inventory levels will be fully normalized by the first or second quarter of next year. So you'll start to see more consistent return of ordering." Hughes relayed that he expects the automotive aftermarket to stay strong in 2024, and experience an increase in shipments.

AQMD issues more notices of violations against Chiquita Canyon Landfill By City News Service

ollowing an investigation into the Chiquita Canyon Landfill near Castaic, a regulatory agency Friday announced it issued two notice of violations to the facility for failing to properly dispose of a liquid that produced a foul odor when mixed with other chemicals. Officials with the South Coast Air Quality Management District — a regulatory agency responsible for improving air quality for large areas of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, and Coachella Valley — confirmed the two notice of violations it issued last week was the result of an investigation of the facility to identify the cause of a "strong, foul" odor that has impacted nearby residents for several months. Waste Connection Inc., which operates the Chiquita

Canyon Landfill, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. According to the AQMD, the foul odor emanating from the facility is the result of leachate, which is formed when liquid such as rainwater filters through the soil and leaches, or draws out, chemicals when it comes into contact with buried waste. Additionally, inspectors determined that the facility did not submit a landfill excavation management plan before beginning excavation activities to remove leachate from the site. "The investigation revealed that the facility's leachate collection and storage system was malfunctioning and that the company failed to notify the agency as required by air quality regulations," the AQMD said in a statement.

In April, the AQMD noticed an increase in odor complaints that agency investigators traced back to the landfill, located at 29201 Henry Mayor Drive. Since then, the AQMD has received more than 5,700 odor complaints and issued about 100 notice of violations to the 639-acre landfill for public nuisance. Of the two new notice of violations, one was for failure to maintain the leachate collection and storage system in good operating condition, failure to report the breakdown of equipment and other permit condition violations. The other notice of violations was issued for failure to submit a landfill excavation plan, the AQMD said in a statement. Notice of violations can result in civil penalties. In some cases, the company

can choose to implement voluntary measures to reduce emissions or, otherwise, prevent further violations. If no settlement is reached, a civil lawsuit may ultimately be filed in superior court. In September, the AQMD hearing board issued an order of abatement to address the

odor. It required the facility to investigate the cause of the reaction, which is creating elevated levels of dimethyl sulfide, or DMS, and to take steps to reduce the impact to the community until there's a way to eliminate the odor. In response to community concerns, Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger

opened a $2 million fund for affected households to apply and receive cash assistance to buy swamp coolers to swap for air conditioners, install weather-proof doors and windows and add insulation. The landfill is permitted to accept 6,200 tons of solid waste per day and operates from 4 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The real property described above is being sold subject to the right of redemption. The redemption period within which real property may be redeemed ends 90 days after the sale. 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 the 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. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916) 939-0772 (Nationwide Posting and Publication) for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case TS# 2022-4153. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the schedule sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an "eligible tenant buyer," you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an "eligible bidder," you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (916) 939-0772 (Nationwide Posting and Publication), or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case TS# 2022-4153 to find the date on which the trustee's sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than fifteen (15) days after the trustee's sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than forty-five (45) days after the trustee's sale. If you think you may qualify as an "eligible tenant buyer" or "eligible bidder," you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. The beneficiary of said Lien hereto executed and delivered to the undersigned, a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell has been recorded. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the County where the real property is located. Date: 11/09/2023 Association Lien Services, as Trustee P.O.

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 knowl-edgeable 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.

erty address is: 2503 RISA DRIVE, GLENDALE, CA 91208 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 5653-027-012 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. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 619-846-7649 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan. com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-22-947931SH. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 619-846-7649, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-22-947931-SH to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE OWNER-OCCUPANT: Any prospective owner-occupant as defined in Section 2924m of the California Civil Code who is the last and highest bidder at the trustee’s sale shall provide the required affidavit or declaration of eligibility to the auctioneer at the trustee’s sale or shall have it delivered to QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION by 5 p.m. on the next business day following the trustee’s sale at the address set forth in the below signature block. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

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. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916)939-0772 or visit this internet website http://search. nationwideposting.com/propertySearchTerms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA2300288942 Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction if conducted after January 1, 2021, pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (916)939-0772, or visit this internet website http://search.nationwideposting.com/propertySearchTerms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA2300288942 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the

Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney.

he U.S. Coast Guard intercepted a "suspicious vessel" near Malibu and detained 23 people allegedly trying to enter the country illegally, authorities said Tuesday. The suspects were taken into custody Monday, according to the Coast Guard. "While on a routine patrol, the crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Blackfin detected a suspicious vessel operating off the Malibu coast," a Coast Guard news release said. Air and sea support personnel sent to the scene "detained 23 undocumented non-citizens attempting to enter the country illegally," the Coast Guard said. "These overloaded vessels are inherently dangerous, and our extensive partnerships in the area are essential to keeping boaters safe and enforcing the nation's customs and immigration laws," said Cmdr. Keith Robinson, the chief of law enforcement at Coast Guard Sector Los Angeles-Long Beach.

Watts area officials call for ‘transparency' after fatal CHP shooting By City News Service

n investigation continues Tuesday after a video began circulating that appears to show a California Highway Patrol officer fatally shooting a man who had been walking on the Glenn Anderson (105) Freeway in the Watts area while the agency said the man used a stun gun against the officer. Los Angeles City Councilman Tim McOsker, state Sen. Steven Bradford and Assemblyman Mike Gipson, who all represent the Watts area, issued a joint statement Monday following the Sunday shooting. They said that, while the full details have not come out, a bystander took video of the encounter, in which the man was on the ground and the CHP officer fired multiple times, hitting the man following a scuffle. McOsker called the video "shocking" and said the shooting must be "fully investigated expeditiously."

"The community deserves transparency on the circumstances around this incident and I will work with my stateelected counterparts to keep our community apprised of any results of the investigation," McOsker said in the joint statement. "My prayers go out to the whole community who have been impacted by this and I join my fellow elected officials and civic leaders in asking for peace at this time." After the elected officials issued their statement, the CHP issued a statement saying its Communications Center received multiple calls at 3:16 p.m. Sunday of a pedestrian walking against traffic on the westbound side of the freeway near Wilmington Avenue. A South Los Angeles CHP officer arrived on scene at 3:27 p.m., and made repeated verbal attempts to persuade the pedestrian out of the traffic lanes, who ulti-

mately refused, the statement said. Due to the immediate danger to the motoring public, the CHP stopped all westbound traffic, the statement said. The was identified as Jesse Dominguez, 34, by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner's office. As the officer approached Dominguez, a struggle ensued on the freeway and Dominguez was able to access a stun gun he had in his possession, activated it and used it against the officer, according to the CHP. "Following the pedestrian's use of the weapon against the officer, and in fear for his safety, the officer fired his service weapon, striking the pedestrian," the statement said. Dominguez died at a hospital, according to the medical examiner. Bradford, D-Gardena, in the statement said the

shooting "appears to be an unnecessary use of deadly force," and that the community deserves answers. He added, "If the roles were reversed, people would be immediately calling for murder charges. I call on the California Highway Patrol and the Department of Justice to be transparent and for the community to be

calm and patient during the investigation." Gipson, D-Carson, who noted he was a "son" of the Watts community, said in the statement that while all the facts that led to the shooting are not known, "justice should be our focal point." Attorney General Rob Bonta on Monday

announced the Department of Justice's California Police Shooting Investigation Team is investigating and will independently review the incident, in accordance with state mandates. Upon completion of the investigation, it will be turned over to DOJ's Special Prosecutions Section, Bonta's office said.

The Huntington acquires historic Goya painting By City News Service

he Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens has acquired a historic portrait by Spanish master Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes, better known simply as Goya. The Portrait of José Antonio Caballero, Second Marqués de Caballero, Secretary of Grace and Justice will be on display starting next Wednesday, Nov. 29, in the Huntington Art Gallery, museum officials announced Monday. Painted in 1807, the artwork was created at a time when Goya was renowned for his portraits of the Spanish nobility, just before the Napoleonic invasion of Spain profoundly altered the nature of his later work, according to the museum. While The Hunting-

ton holds a number of Goya's etchings and aquatints, the Portrait of José Antonio Caballero is the first Spanish oil painting to join The Huntington's art collection and museum officials said it will complement its extensive library of materials on Spanish imperial history. The masterpiece was acquired through a gift from The Ahmanson Foundation. "Once again, The Ahmanson Foundation has proven to be an invaluable strategic partner, helping us reach our goals of broadening our collections with significant works and inviting new, interdisciplinary connections," Huntington President Karen R. Lawrence said. "We couldn't be more grateful to them for

making possible the acquisition of such a superb and historically significant masterpiece." Goya is celebrated for his ability to capture each subject's unique personality as well as their grandeur and political power -- albeit with an occasional layer of satire, museum officials said. He is also acclaimed for his flickering, impressionistic brushwork and, in his later years, revolutionary subject matter. "Portrait of José Antonio Caballero is historically fascinating and a prime example of Goya's genius as a portraitist," said Christina Nielsen, the Hannah and Russel Kully Director of the Art Museum at The Huntington. The sitter in the Goya painting, José Antonio Caballero, was of minor

nobility in Spain, according to the museum. He studied law and held four secretary positions with the royal court. Goya painted the portrait when Caballero was the secretary of state and had just inherited the title of Marquis de Caballero from his uncle. In the portrait, the man is depicted in a decorative uniform and seated in a red armchair. He looks directly at the viewer, with his right hand at his waist and his left hand holding papers. The portrait will be installed in The Huntington Art Gallery, the former residence of founders Henry E. and Arabella Huntington, in a paneled room that was once Henry Huntington's private office.
