esidents of communities directly impacted by the Eaton Fire have begun receiving financial compensation from Southern California Edison's, the utility announced Tuesday. The Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program launched on Oct. 29. So far, residents have submitted more than 1,500 claims, with offers extended and accepted and additional payments made by year-end, company officials said. “We are grateful to community partners — neighbors, local organizations and first responders — for their tireless efforts to support recovery,” Pedro Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International, SCE’s parent company, said in a statement. “We committed to helping quickly, too, delivering offers within 90 days and payments within 30 days. Today, we’re making good on

that promise in a fraction of the time, providing muchneeded payments when the community needs it most.” The utility provided program metrics — as of Dec. 15 claims totaled 1,551 filed by 3,293 claimants and household members involved. SCE has extended 27 offers and made one payment. The three most common loss types are nonburn damage at 43% of claims, total loss at 40% and 5% for partial loss claims. Plaintiffs’ attorneys have submitted 20% of claims. According to Edison, the average amount of time to complete the program's claim form is 90 minutes. Participation in the program is voluntary, and claims can be submitted until Nov. 30, 2026. The compensation initiative "is designed to provide fair resolutions and fast payments to eligible individuals and businesses,"

according to the company, which remains focused on processing claims within 90 days "of being substantially complete," providing resources for the public online, by phone and in person and "delivering fair resolutions and fast payments within 30 days, after all conditions have been satisfied." Before starting a claim, review these helpful tools to answer questions you may have about the form or process. Full details about the program's first compensation payment were not available. "It was a smoke and ash claim," SCE spokesman David Eisenhauer said in an email, adding that it was not appropriate to share specific amounts. Financial support for the compensation program is reimbursement from the state's $21 billion Wildfire Fund, and the utility can raise

NO. 255

electric rates to cover costs that exceed $21 billion. The first $1 billion of claims is covered by SCE’s customer-funded insurance. The utility would then seek reimbursement from the state and "continues to have confidence in the wildfire fund and its $22B of claimpaying capacity," Eisenhauer said. Information on the program and filing a claim is on SCE's website. Southern California Edison is one of the nation’s largest electric utilities, serving a population of about 15 million people via 5 million customer accounts in Central and Southern California. Several lawsuits allege SCE equipment sparked the Eaton Fire in Altadena and nearby areas Jan. 7 amid extremely fast winds. The blaze killed 19 people and destroyed or damaged more than 10,000 structures.

f you're homeless, every night is tough, every night a struggle to stay warm and dry and safe. But Sunday evening — Dec. 21, the official start of winter, the longest night of the year — might be toughest of all. Dec. 21 also marks National Homeless Persons' Memorial Day, symbolically observed every year since 1990 on the first day of winter to remember the thousands of unhoused people across the nation who at some point lost that nightly struggle and perished. In Los Angeles, two events were held Sunday to mark National Homeless Persons' Memorial Day, honoring the lives of Southland residents who died while unhoused in 2025. On average, seven unhoused people die every day in Los Angeles, "many of them alone and without acknowledgement," according to the AIDS Healthcare Foundation's Housing Is A Human Right advocacy organization — conducted a candlelight vigil Sunday night in Hollywood. During the 5-6 p.m. vigil at the southwest corner of Sunset Boulevard and Hudson Avenue, members and staff from homelessservice organizations joined members of the public for a reading of names of people who died in Los Angeles "before they could exit homelessness." Archbishop José H. Gomez presided over a

Homeless Persons' Interreligious Memorial at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. Gomez was joined by community, civic and religious leaders who came "together in prayer to remember and honor our brothers and sisters who died while experiencing homelessness during the past year in the Los Angeles and Ventura counties," the archdiocese said. "This year, we will lift up the lives of 1,564 people — among them 84 whose names are unknown — each represented by a candle bearing their name," an archdiocese statement said. The candles were carried into the Cathedral by Catholic and non- Catholic school students, "a sign of hope and shared responsibility across generations and faith traditions," the statement said. During the memorial, Gomez and other religious leaders invited those present "to reflect on our call to walk alongside those who are unhoused, and to renew our commitment to compassion, solidarity, and works of mercy." Attendees were also invited "to take a candle and continue the prayer, entrusting the soul of that person to God's loving care." A statement by the archdiocese noted that, "Since 1990, National Homeless Persons' Memorial Day has been observed each year on December 21, reminding us

aramount Skydance Corp. Monday amended its $30 per share all-cash offer for Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. in an attempt to address WBD's stated concerns regarding Paramount's offer, five days after Warner Bros. Discovery's Board of Directors unanimously rejected it. In the amended offer, Larry Ellison, a co-founder of the technology company Oracle and controlling shareholder of Paramount, has agreed to provide an irrevocable personal guarantee of $40.4 billion of the equity financing for the offer and any damages claims against Paramount. Ellison has agreed not to revoke the Ellison family trust or adversely transfer its assets during the pendency of the transaction. To match the pending transaction, Paramount will increase its regulatory reverse termination fee from $5 billion to $5.8 billion. Paramount's direct wholly owned subsidiary, Prince Sub Inc. extended the expiration date of the tender offer to 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Jan. 21, unless further extended. David Ellison, Paramount's chairman and CEO and the son of Larry

Ellison, said in a statement, ``Paramount has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to acquiring WBD. Our $30 per share, fully financed all-cash offer was on December 4th, and continues to be, the superior option to maximize value for WBD shareholders. ``Because of our commitment to investment and growth, our acquisition will be superior for all WBD stakeholders, as a catalyst for greater content production, greater theatrical output, and more consumer

choice. ``We expect the board of directors of WBD to take the necessary steps to secure this value-enhancing transaction and preserve and strengthen an iconic Hollywood treasure for the future." Netflix and Warner Bros. announced their proposed deal that would include Warner's film and television studios and the HBO and HBO Max brands. Netflix has more than 300 million subscribers worldwide. With HBO Max folded

in, that number would jump past 420 million, giving the company a subscriber base unmatched by any other premium streaming service. When completed, the deal will make Netflix a Hollywood juggernaut bigger than The Walt Disney Co. Netflix is offering about $27.75 per Warner Bros. Discovery share in a cashand-stock deal and will take on more than $10 billion in company debt, putting the transaction's value at $82.7 billion.

A

high-profile afteraction report from the Los Angeles Fire Department on last January's Palisades Fire went through several drafts that minimized the department's failings both before and after the deadly blaze broke out, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday. The newspaper said it obtained copies of seven drafts prepared before the

final report was issued on Oct. 8. Among the changes, according to the Times: -- LAFD officials removed language saying that the decision not to fully staff and pre-deploy all available crews and engines ahead of the historically strong winds that were forecast for the day of the fire "did not align" with the department's procedures during red flag days, and said

instead that the number of engine companies put in place "went above and beyond the standard LAFD pre-deployment matrix." -- A section on "failures" was renamed "primary challenges." -- An item saying that personnel violated national guidelines on how to avoid firefighter deaths and injuries See Palisades Fire Page 13

was scratched. -- A passage alleging that some crews waited more than an hour for an assignment on the day of the fire was removed. -- An early passage containing the following language was removed: "If the Department had adequately augmented all available resources as done in years past

Population drops in LA County, OC in fiscal year 2025; increases in San Diego, Inland Empire

CA community groups work to prevent violence as ICE continues raids

os Angeles County remains the most populous county in the state, but its population saw the largest decline during fiscal year 2025, partly due to impacts of the Palisades and Eaton wildfires and a significant decrease in international migration, according to data released Friday by the California Department of Finance. Los Angeles' population as of July 1 was 9,867,045 — down from 9,895,529 in 2024, a decline of 0.29%, data showed. San Diego, the state's second-most populous county, had a population of 3,336,081 persons in fiscal year 2025, an increase of 0.32% over 2024's figures, according to the Department of Finance. The county's population of 3,325,274 last year increased by 10,807 in 2025, data showed. Orange County, meanwhile, ranked the third-most populous county in California, with a population of 3,174,565

this year from 3,175,995 the previous year, a decrease of 0.05%. Riverside, the state's fourth-most populous county, had a population of 2,485,007 persons in fiscal year 2025, an increase of 0.20% over 2024 figures. The county's population of 2,479,957 last year increased by 5,050 in 2025, data showed. Overall, California's population grew by about 19,200, or 0.05%, in the fiscal year, reaching 39,529,000 people, the department found. The 0.05% increase marks the third year of population growth for the state following two consecutive years of declines during the pandemic. With the Trump administration's immigration policy, and deaths returning to longterm trends, California is likely to experience slower growth over the coming several years, according to the state finance department. The state's 10 largest counties — including Los

Angeles, San Diego, Orange and Riverside — represent 72% of California's population. Seven of the 10 counties with 1 million or more people had positive population growth, leaving three, including Los Angeles and Orange counties, with population loss. LA County had the largest numeric decline — almost 28,500 people in fiscal year 2025. The decrease was driven by higher domestic migration due to impacts of nine destructive wildfires, especially the Palisades and Eaton fires, and a significant decrease in net international migration, according to the finance department. Across the state, net international migration reached 126,000 people in the year ending July 1, a significant gain in overall population growth. However, negative net domestic migration still outweighed the gains, resulting in a net total migration loss of over 89,000 residents, the department stated.

ommunity groups are stepping up to try to prevent violence and abuse as ICE raids continue across the Golden State. The nonprofit Nonviolent Peaceforce is training local groups in ways to help keep the community safe, by warning undocumented people away from any imminent enforcement actions, especially if they are near a school or workplace. Roz Lee, head of Mission U.S. for the nonprofit Nonviolent Peaceforce, said the group is taking action. "We are committed to helping people reduce the risk of harm," she stressed. "So the preparedness is having the tools to de-escalate violence, to interrupt violence, to prevent violence." The training also covers safety teams, de-escalation, and basic street medicine. People who are at risk of being detained, including green card holders and citizens,

should know that they don’t have to answer questions without an attorney and can seek help from community organizations. In addition, bystanders have the right to film what is happening as long as they don’t obstruct the agents. Lee added that sometimes simply having witnesses creates accountability, giving everyone involved the incentive to do things peacefully and by the book. "Nonviolent Peaceforce is present with immigrants and their families in and around

courts so that people know their rights, that they feel less alone, and have observers in the room when harmful practices occur," she continued. Nonviolent Peaceforce works with a number of local groups in the San Diego area, notably the City Heights Community Development Corporation, Universidad Popular, Detention Resistance, the Labor Solidarity Action Network; Indivisible 49; the UCSD Labor Center; Pillars of the Community; and the North County LGBTQ Resource Center.

Advocates press for action to reduce traffic fatalities in California, across US By Chaseedaw Giles for KFF Health News. Broadcast version by Suzanne Potter for California News Service reporting for the KFF Health News-Public News Service Collaboration

K

ris Edwards waited at home with friends for his wife, Erika “Tilly” Edwards, to go out to dinner, but she never made it back to the house they had purchased only four days earlier. Around 9 p.m. on June 29, a hit-and-run driver killed Tilly as she walked to her car after a fundraiser performance in Hollywood. “I’ve just got to figure out how to keep living. And the hard part with that is not knowing why,” Edwards said of his wife’s death. Despite local, state, and federal safety campaigns, such as the global Vision Zero initiative to eliminate traffic fatalities, such deaths are up 20% in the U.S. from a decade ago, from 32,744 in 2014 to an estimated 39,345 in 2024, according to data from the Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Although traffic deaths have declined since peaking at 43,230 in 2021, the number of deaths remains higher than a decade ago. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, the Pew Research Center found, Americans’ driving habits have worsened across multiple measures, from reckless driving to drunken driving, which road safety advocates call a public health failure. They say technology could dramatically reduce traffic deaths, but proposals often run up against industry resistance, and the Trump administration is focusing on driverless cars to both innovate and improve public safety. “Every day, 20 people go out for a walk, and they don’t return home,” said Adam Snider, a spokesperson for the Governors Highway Safety Association, which represents state road safety offices. American roads have become more dangerous than violent crimes in some cities: Los Angeles, San

Francisco, and Houston are among the major cities that now report more traffic fatalities than homicides. In 2024, the Los Angeles Police Department reported an estimated 268 homicides and 302 traffic deaths, the second consecutive year that the number of people killed in collisions exceeded the number of homicide victims, according to Crosstown LA, a nonprofit community news outlet. San Francisco reported more than 40 traffic deaths and 35 homicides in 2024. In Houston, approximately 345 people died in crashes and 322 from homicide. “Simply put, the United States is in the middle of a road safety emergency,” David Harkey, president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, testified during a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee hearing this summer. Out of 29 high-income countries, America ranks at the bottom in road safety, Harkey said. “This spike is not — I repeat, is not — a global trend. The U.S. is an

outlier.” In January 2017, thenMayor Eric Garcetti joined 13 other L.A. city leaders in pledging to implement the Vision Zero action plan and eliminate traffic deaths in the city by 2025. Instead, deaths have increased. An audit released in April that was commissioned by the city’s administrative officer found that the level of enthusiasm for the program at City Hall has diminished and that it suffered because of “the pandemic, conflicts of personality, lack of total buy-in for implementation, disagreements over how the program should be administered, and scaling issues.” The report also cited competing interests among city departments and inconsistent investment in the city’s most dangerous traffic corridors. Mayor Karen Bass’ office did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Last year, California state Sen. Scott Wiener

proposed a bill that would have required new cars sold in the state to include “intelligent speed assistance,” software that could prevent vehicles from exceeding the speed limit by more than 10 mph. But the bill was watered down following pushback from the auto industry and opposition from some legislators who called it government overreach. It was ultimately vetoed by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, who said a state mandate would disrupt ongoing federal safety assessments. Meanwhile, the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, an influential automotive lobby, this year sued the federal government over an automatic emergency braking rule adopted during the Biden administration. The lawsuit is pending in federal court while the Department of Transportation completes a review. Even before Donald Trump was sworn in for his second term, the alliance appealed to the president-elect in a

letter to support consumer choice. Under Trump, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is prioritizing the development of autonomous vehicles by proposing sweeping regulatory changes to test and deploy driverless cars. “Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards were written for vehicles with human drivers and need to be updated for autonomous vehicles,” NHTSA Chief Counsel Peter Simshauser said in September in announcing the modernization effort, which includes repealing some safety rules. “Removing these requirements will reduce costs and enhance safety.” Some Democratic lawmakers, however, have criticized the administration’s repeal of safety rules as misguided since new rules can be implemented without undoing existing safeguards. NHTSA officials did not respond to requests for comment about Democrats’ concerns. Advocates worry that

without continued adoption of road safety regulations for conventional vehicles, factors such as excessive speed and human error will continue to drive fatalities despite the push for driverless cars. “We need to continue to have strong collaboration from the federal, state, local sectors, public sector, private sector, the everyday public,” Snider, of the Governors Highway Safety Association, said. “We need everyday drivers to get involved.” It took nearly a month for police to track down the driver of a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen allegedly involved in Tilly’s death. Authorities have charged Davontay Robins with vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence, felony hit-andrun driving, and driving with a suspended license due to a previous DUI. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is out on bail. Kris Edwards now tends to the couple’s backyard garden by himself. Since his wife’s death, he has experienced sleep deprivation, fatigue, and trouble eating, and he relies on a cane to walk. His doctors attribute his ailments to the brain’s response to grief. “I’m not alone,” he said. “But I am lonely, in this big, empty house without my partner.” Edwards hopes for justice for his wife, though he said he’s unsure if prosecutors will get a conviction. He wants her death to mean something: safer streets, slower driving, and for pedestrians to be cautious when getting in and out of cars parked on busy streets. “I want my wife’s death to be a warning to others who get too comfortable and let their guard down even for a moment,” he said. “That moment is all it takes.” Chaseedaw Giles wrote this story for KFF Health News.

CA offshore wind gets a boost as moratorium struck down

n California and across the world, too many children go to school and adults go to work without the proper glasses to help them succeed. Now, nonprofit organizations are stepping in to help. The World Health Organization has predicted that by 2050, more than 2 billion people across the globe will live with vision impairment. That impairment could be prevented, or is yet to be addressed, for at least 1 billion of them. Blair Wong, board president of GoodVision USA and International, a nonprofit providing eye care and free glasses in 11 countries, explained that vision care is an economic multiplier because every $1 invested yields $28 in economic benefits.

"By giving people a chance with vision, they get better jobs and have greater impact economically on their own family structure, as well as contributing to their communities," Wong outlined. GoodVision trains people in local communities to manufacture simple glasses and they travel to remote communities to provide basic optical care. Experts said 90% of vision loss is in poor and middleincome countries and children with vision loss are 2 to 5 times less likely to receive formal education. Additional data show as of 2020, about 160 million people worldwide were already blind, or had moderate to severe vision impairment, because they lack proper optical care.

In the Golden State, children enrolled in Medi-Cal get free glasses and optical care. The state has teamed up with nonprofits like “Vision to Learn” to offer eye exams in public schools, something Wong stressed is key to children’s futures in school and beyond. "It just seems so unnecessary in the world to have major populations not have access to a prescription and a simple pair of glasses that would help them to be more productive," Wong argued. Vision to Learn got its start in California. Last year, it helped more than 100,000 students in 14 counties, providing 30,000 eye exams and 25,000 pairs of glasses. GoodVision USA contributes to our fund for reporting on health issues.

roups that promote offshore wind power are hopeful that a big win in court will convince the federal government to consider permitting new projects. This week, a federal judge struck down President Donald Trump’s day-one executive order that halted all offshore wind approvals and argued that the Biden administration unfairly favored renewable energy over oil and gas. "Now each individual project is still going to have to continue the route it's on," said Benjamin Collings, offshore wind advisor for the nonprofit Elected Officials to Protect America. "For example, projects like in the Port of Humboldt, they can continue without being permanently stopped, which the White House was

trying to do." California has five offshore wind projects in development: two off of Humboldt Bay and three off the coast of Morro Bay. Companies are doing environmental studies as they prepare to apply for state permits. Collings described Trump’s campaign against offshore wind as damaging on many levels. "For states like California to reach their goals on reducing carbon output, offshore wind projects are a big part of that equation," he said, "and in the long term you're talking about jobs, and billions of dollars of investment at stake." Stephen Kullman is a commissioner and board president of the Humboldt Bay Harbor Recreation and Conservation District,

which is building a marine terminal at the port to receive offshore wind power in the future. Even though the project lost $435 million in federal funding, he said it is important to move forward. "It'll really help rural communities who are in need of economic development," Kullman said. "It will help remediate legacy industrial toxins along the bay. It will help redevelop industrial lands." It is unclear whether the administration will appeal the federal court ruling invalidating Trump’s moratorium on offshore wind projects. More than 250 elected officials from across California have signed a letter from Elected Officials to Protect America in support of offshore wind energy.

Pressed for time? 7 smart tips for last-minute holiday parties, according to event planners By Gemma Z Price for CANOPY via Stacker

W

hile the holidays are a magical, albeit hectic, time to connect and celebrate with your community, pushing to meet your end-of-year goals can feel overwhelming — especially if your company get-together is still languishing on your to-do list. To help, event planning professionals Suzanne Zadeh, head of partnerships for TEDAI, and Ami Alexander-Ponce, events manager at San Francisco co-working space CANOPY, offered their expertise. They shared actionable strategies for planning a lastminute office party that feels polished, intentional, and memorable — and one that’ll be talked about into the new year and beyond. Lock the venue, set the date, then shrink the scope Size and ambiance matter. Choosing a venue that can accommodate all of your guests is important, but it shouldn't be so large that it feels disconcertingly empty during quieter moments. Opt for fully equipped, designforward spaces that require minimal décor. “If you're unsure how many people will attend, we recommend opting for a slightly larger floorplan encompassing a range of defined spaces, so your guests have room to mingle without feeling cramped or exposed. Look for venues that offer intimate lounges, outdoor areas and larger spaces to gather,” says Alexander-Ponce. Choose a single, striking concept informed by your culture, team size and budget Avoid sprawling productions with lots of moving parts. Instead, choose one engaging idea that everyone in your office will enjoy! Cohesion reads as sophistication. Engaging group activities like an escape room, a show, or ice skating are excellent ideas for employee appreciation and team-building if you have an active team. For

a more relaxed gathering, consider a holiday lunch or happy hour with clear visual cues and festive refreshments — think winter florals, nonalcoholic eggnog, and cranberry brie bites. “Recently, I’ve hosted a ‘Great Gatsby’ gala and glamorous Casino Royaleinspired affair for large groups and an intimate hot cocoa bar and caroling with a live jazz band for smaller teams. When planning, I always look for private

able for finding backups in case of last-minute cancellations and managing day-of hiccups. Festive food and drinks are a must — consider how to best accommodate dietary restrictions and define your alcohol and bar policies in advance. Grazing board buffets can be set up in venues without a kitchen, food prep, or dining space. Mobile mixologists are a great stand-in for a fullservice bar.

member clubs or the best co-working spaces near me — many have flexible floor plans and a dedicated events team that can help me pull together a polished gathering at short notice," Zadeh says. Lean on event planners with a solid network of pre-vetted partners If you’ve slept on planning early, a skilled events team can quickly bring top vendors together at short notice. Look for someone with a proven track record and a robust network of top talent — they'll be invalu-

Decide on a budget, and stick to it When planning an impressive holiday party, it can be all too easy to go over budget — venue costs, decorations, entertainment, staffing, and food and beverage bills quickly add up. Before you start booking vendors or placing orders, define your upper spending limit and let the experiences that matter most to you and your company guide your decision-making. “It's absolutely possible to throw a talk-of-the-town party without breaking the

bank with a clear budget and deadline. … If entertainment is the focus, we suggest swapping a chef-driven multicourse sit-down meal for catered hearty appetizers — and recommend our favorite suppliers — to free up budget for a performer or artist,” says AlexanderPonce. Keep the program light, prioritize music and lighting early A tight timeline leaves little room for complicated activations, and long speeches don’t fit the festive vibe. Simple is better. Think a brief toast from leadership, a small awards moment, or a single interactive element like the host leading a cocktail demo. Candles, uplights and warm LEDs create instant ambiance, and lighting vendors often have lastminute availability because setups are quick. On the flip side, DJs and small ensembles book up as fast as venues. If the entertainment calendar is full, consider curating a playlist that can be delivered through a quality sound system — or ensure your event planner has it covered. “Music and lighting are often last on the list, but both make a significant impact on the tone and success of any

party. If the venue has bright overhead lights, you can source table lamps and large electric candles affordably on Amazon or in big-box stores — remember that most venues don’t permit open flames. Ad-free Spotify is a great resource in a pinch — there are myriad playlist styles to choose from, and they’ll keep on running for the length of your event,” says Alexander-Ponce. Create a personal touch or lasting keepsakes — host a craft table, book a photo booth, or hire a photographer Take-home physical or digital goodies are an excellent way for your guests to reflect, year-round, on the good times you shared during the holidays and keep your brand top-of-mind. “Booking a local maker to guide guests in making festive ornaments or accessories encourages guests to express themselves and connect. Professional photography and videography, or booking a photobooth, are great ways for your guests to capture and share the moment, showcasing your event and brand to wider audiences via social media,” says AlexanderPonce. Communicate clearly, and graciously, with your

team — send invites at the earliest opportunity It’s December, so schedules are already well-packed — the sooner you let your community know about your event, the better. Even if you don't have everything nailed down, send a "Save the Date" so your community can block their schedules and make any necessary arrangements. Include all relevant details on invitations, such as the party's date, time, and location, whether there's a dress code, if guests can bring plus ones, and any valuable tips regarding parking or rideshare options. “If you’re planning your event, you can email invitations via marketing platforms you're already using in your operations, such as Mailchimp or HubSpot, or via a dedicated online invite specialist like Paperless Post, where guests can see other RSVPs and post comments to build excitement. Free, text-based app Partiful was named Google Play's Best App of 2024. No more convoluted group chats!” says Zadeh. This story was produced by CANOPY and reviewed and distributed by Stacker.

Homeless Memorial Day — on the coldest and darkest night of the year — of the sacred dignity of every human life and our shared responsibility to ensure that no one is forgotten." In March, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health released a report saying the county's homeless mortality rate had plateaued for a second straight year in 2023 — the latest available data. It called the news a significant development due in large part to a reduction in drug overdoses. The DPH's sixth annual report on mortality among people experiencing homelessness showed there were 2,508 deaths of unhoused individuals in 2023. From 2021 to 2022, the mortality rate increased by 2%, followed by a 1% increase from 2022 to 2023. While the most recent report found the mortality rate remained high at 3,326 deaths per 100,000 people, county officials noted that it has leveled off compared

That reflected a drop from 2024's "point in time" figures of 75,312 homeless people in the county, including 45,252 in the city — a second straight year reflecting a slight drop. Still, officials noted the ongoing crisis remains at a formidable scale, and that more work remains. "But 72,308 people are still living without permanent shelter. We can, and must, do more," county Supervisor Lindsey Horvath said in July. "At this pace, it would take three centuries to end homelessness in Los Angeles County. Every day, seven lives are being lost on our streets — an unacceptable reality that demands bold, coordinated action."

to a previously devastating increase of 56% from 2019 to 2021. "It's good news that the rate has leveled off, but it's still very high, and we're working collectively with many partners to decrease the mortality rate over the next three years," William Nicholas, director of DPH's Center for Health Impact Evaluation, said in March. Overall, according to the 2025 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count — conducted between Feb. 18 and 20 throughout the Los Angeles County, with results released in July — there were 72,308 homeless people in the county, including 43,669 in Los Angeles.

is the season to drive sober, according to Long Beach police, who Monday announced the arrest of one person who apparently did not get the memo. Despite warnings from law enforcement agencies across Southern California and promises of beefed-up enforcement, one motorist was snared at a DUI checkpoint in Long Beach and another four were arrested on suspicion of DUI offenses at a checkpoint in Riverside County. A checkpoint set up at Artesia Boulevard and Cherry Avenue between 6 p.m. Friday and 1 a.m. Saturday resulted in five citations for unlicensed operation of a vehicle and one DUI arrest. Officers screened 157 drivers and vehicles out of 249 that passed through the checkpoint, according to the Long Beach Police Department.

In Riverside, a checkpoint operated on University Avenue east of Ottawa Avenue between 6 p.m. Friday and 2 a.m. Saturday saw two people arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, one on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and/ or drugs and one on suspicion of DUI of an unspecified drug or drugs. Another 38 drivers were

arrested on suspicion of unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle or driving with suspended or revoked privileges. A total of 723 vehicles passed through that checkpoint. Police reminded everyone to plan ahead, use ride-hailing apps and never drive under the influence of alcohol and/ or drugs during the holidays and every day.

Pasadena council OKs 'optimized' plan for carbon-free electricity By Staff

P

asadena took another step toward carbonfree electricity this week with the approval of a formal plan to achieve the goal by 2030. The City Council on Monday unanimously approved the Optimized Strategic Plan, wich officials described as "a forward-looking framework that will guide Pasadena Water and Power to meet the goals of Resolution 9977, sourcing 100% of Pasadena’s electricity from carbon-free resources by the end of 2030." Officials also hope to optimize affordability, rate equity and service reliability while realizing the goal. “This is a defining moment for Pasadena’s energy future. The Optimized Strategic Plan reflects our community’s values and our shared commitment to climate action,” PWP General Manager David Reyes said in a statement. “We thank the City Council for their leader-

ship and support in adopting this plan, which will guide our decisions and ensure transparency as we move forward in achieving Pasadena’s clean energy goals. The OSP is the result of extensive collaboration, thoughtful analysis, and meaningful community engagement.” For more than a decade, Pasadena has exceeded California’s renewable energy mandates, officials said. These latest guidelines for switching to clean energy stem from PWP’s December 2023 Power Integrated Resource Plan, which called for the city-owned utility to develop the optimization plan "to operationalize the policy goals into clear, actionable steps." The OSP highlights strategies to pursue goals set in Resolution 9977, which the council adopted in early 2023. Officials said the aim is to best position Pasadena to achieve carbon-free electricity

while maintaining reliability and limiting cost increases for PWP customers. "The plan emphasizes expanding local solar generation, investing in clean community-owned projects, and modernizing infrastructure to support a resilient and sustainable energy future," according to the city. "Shaped by input and coordination among City Council, staff, technical experts, and the community, the OSP brings together policy coordination, technical modeling, fiscal responsibility, and stakeholder perspectives into a single implementation strategy." For additional information and to access the Optimized Strategic Plan, go to PWPweb.com/OSP. PWP provides electricity to over 65,000 customers in Pasadena and water to nearly 38,000 households and businesses in Pasadena and nearby communities in the San Gabriel Valley, according to the city.

Palisades Fire in preparation for the weather event, the Department would have been required to recall members for all available positions unfilled by voluntary overtime, which would have allowed for all remaining resources to be staffed and available for augmentation, pre-deployment, and prepositioning." The final report said the LAFD "balanced fiscal responsibility with proper preparation for predicted weather and fire behavior by following the LAFD predeployment matrix." The LAFD did not comment for the Times story, and did not immediately respond to a request for comment from City News Service on Saturday. "Today's reporting makes clear that accountability is optional when after-action reports are conducted in-house with oversight by political appointees," Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez said in a statement issued Saturday. "After-action reports are meant to provide a compre-

hensive and transparent assessment of key leadership decisions to ensure proper accountability. If these reports are purposefully watered down to cover up failures, it leaves Angelenos, firefighters, and city officials without a full understanding of what happened and what needs to change. "After-action reports must be independent to ensure honest assessments in order to avoid repeating disastrous errors and to protect our communities in the future," Rodriguez added.

Despite the revisions, the final report was still critical of the LAFD, finding that the agency's response to the unfolding disaster was hampered by limited resources and leadership and communication challenges. The fire erupted on Jan. 7, driven by hurricane-force Santa Ana winds. One of the most destructive wildfires in Los Angeles history, it burned 23,448 acres and destroyed much of the exclusive Pacific Palisades community, destroying about 6,800 structures and killing 12 people.

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

LEGALS

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 CA2500292801 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 CA2500292801 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.

Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party.

You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective. However, you may use community property, quasicommunity property, or your own separate property to pay an attorney to help you or to pay court costs. NOTICE ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTH INSURANCE: Do you or someone in your household need affordable health insurance? If so, you should apply for Covered California. Covered California can help reduce the cost you pay towards high quality affordable health care. For more information, visit www.coveredca.com. Or call Covered California at 1-800-300-1506. WARNING-IMPORTANT INFORMATION California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property. ÓRDENES DE RESTRICCIÓN ESTÁNDAR DE DERECHO FAMILIAR En forma inmediata, usted y su cónyuge o pareja de hecho tienen prohibido: 1. llevarse del estado de California a los hijos menores de las partes, o solicitar un pasaporte nuevo o de repuesto para los hijos menores, sin el consentimiento previo por escrito de la otra parte o sin una orden de la corte; 2. cobrar, pedir prestado, cancelar, transferir, deshacerse o cambiar el nombre de los beneficiarios de cualquier seguro u otro tipo de cobertura, como de vida, salud, vehículo y discapacidad, que tenga como beneficiario(s) a las partes y su(s) hijo(s) menor(es); 3. transferir, gravar, hipotecar, ocultar o deshacerse de cualquier manera de cualquier propiedad, inmueble o personal, ya sea comunitaria, cuasicomunitaria o separada, sin el consentimiento escrito de la otra parte o una orden de la corte, excepto en el curso habitual de actividades personales y comerciales o para satisfacer las necesidades de la vida; y 4. crear o modificar una transferencia no testamentaria de manera que afecte la asignación de una propiedad sujeta a transferencia, sin el consentimiento por escrito de la otra parte o una orden de la corte. Antes de que se pueda eliminar la revocación de una transferencia no testamentaria, se debe presentar ante la corte un aviso del cambio y hacer una entrega legal de dicho aviso a la otra parte. Cada parte tiene que notificar a la otra sobre cualquier gasto extraordinario propuesto por lo menos cinco días hábiles antes de realizarlo, y rendir cuenta a la corte de todos los gastos extraordinarios realizados después de que estas órdenes de restricción hayan entrado en vigencia. No obstante, puede usar propiedad comunitaria, cuasicomunitaria o suya separada para pagar a un abogado que lo ayude o para pagar los costos de la corte. AVISO-ACCESO A SEGURO DE SALUD MÁS ECONÓMICO: ¿Necesita seguro de salud a un costo asequible, ya sea para usted o alguien en su hogar? Si es así, puede presentar una solicitud con Covered California. Covered California lo puede ayudar a reducir el costo que paga por seguro de salud asequible y de alta calidad. Para obtener más información, visite www.coveredca. com. O llame a Covered California al 1-800-300-0213. ADVERTENCIA-IMFORMACIÓN IMPORTANTE De acuerdo a la ley de California, las propiedades adquiridas por las partes durante su matrimonio o pareja de hecho en forma conjunta se consideran propiedad comunitaria para fines de la división de bienes que ocurre cuando se produce una disolución o separación legal del matrimonio o pareja de hecho. Si cualquiera de las partes de este caso llega a fallecer antes de que se divida la propiedad comunitaria de tenencia conjunta, el destino de la misma quedará determinado por las cláusulas de la escritura correspondiente que describen su tenencia (por ej., tenencia conjunta, tenencia en común o propiedad comunitaria) y no por la presunción de propiedad comunitaria. Si quiere que la presunción comunitaria quede registrada en la escritura de la propiedad, debería consultar con un abogado. DAVID JAMES MARCUM 1005 W. ALBERTA STREET ANAHIEM, CA 92805

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. All bids are subject to California Civil Code 2924h and are sold "AS-IS". 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.

rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 844-693-4761 or visit this internet website www.awest.us, using the file number assigned to this case 25011474 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.

Sierra Madre Playhouse announces 2026 season By Staff

S

ierra Madre Playhouse’s 2026 season, entitled “Small Stage, Big World,” refers to the venue’s intimate 99-seat capacity and the wide ranging globallyinspired programming that will fill its stage from January to December 2026. For the first time since its inception, Sierra Madre Playhouse will add a selection of opera and author events as well as a comedy series to a lineup of more than 90 programs, hosting more than 150 curtains over the course of the year. “The 2026 season continues the Playhouse’s transformation into a vibrant, multi-genre home for artistic expression, where every performance, from Irish drama to Indian classical music to hip-hop opera, reveals new avenues of creativity,” stated Artistic and Executive Director Matthew Cook. “In a time when audiences crave both belonging and discovery, Sierra Madre Playhouse offers both. Here, art is not distant—it’s shared, up close, and vibrant. Stories, music, and movement turn our stage into a global meeting place where bold programming and meaningful collaborations connect communities across borders and generations.” Two Artistic Residencies Announced Cook, who has championed artistic collaborations throughout his tenure at Sierra Madre Playhouse, announced two new residencies during the 2026 season. Violinist Martin Chalifour — the recently retired principal concertmaster of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, whose 30-year tenure with the orchestra is the longest in its history — becomes a resident artist at Sierra Madre Playhouse, presenting two programs that display dramatically different sides of the violin, “The Romantic Violin” (Feb. 14-15) and “History of the Tango” (April 10-11). The second residency features Brightwork Newmusic, a chamber program that blurs the line

between pop and the avantgarde music (Feb. 28); a musical voyage across the Pacific’s Ring of Fire, spanning music from Peru to Cambodia (April 3); an exploration of the ever-evolving relationship between technology and art that encompasses new works generated by humans and through AI algorithms (Aug. 22); and, in a nod to the upcoming Midterm Elections, a concert of provocative and deeply human works inspired by civic life and social change (Sept. 26). Opera to Ring in Historic Venue This season, the Sierra Madre Playhouse introduces its first-ever Opera Series, highlighting the art form’s myriad contemporary and traditional styles with several distinctive opera programs. They include The Opera Buffs, showcasing rising opera stars (March 7-8); Source/Filter, reimagining Domenico Cimarosa’s comic intermezzo “Il maestro di cappella” (The Music Director) (May 30); Paul Salerni’s “Haunted”, a one-act dance opera based on poetry by California’s former Laureate Dana Gioia (June 5-6); and Babatunde’s “Hip Hopera,” an inventive blend of opera and hip hop created by and starring the acclaimed Nigerian-American opera singer Babatunde Akinboboye (Aug. 29). Author Series Launched In Sierra Madre Playhouse’s inaugural Author Series, six writers are slated to bring the written word from the page to the stage, among them Kristina Wong (“Auntie Kristina’s Guide to Asian American Activism”) (April 18); Vijay Gupta (“Restrung: A Memoir of Music and Transformation”) (June 12); Anaheim Poet Laureate Camille Hernandez (June 20); and Dana Gioia, former California Poet Laureate and Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts (Aug. 1 and Nov. 20). Comedy Takes Center Stage Although the venue has brought comedy acts to its stage in recent years in an informal manner, Cook says

Sierra Madre Playhouse’s maiden Comedy Series, being introduced this season as well, officially thrusts humor into the limelight with 11 dedicated nights of comedians, beginning with the hilarious Asian American improv and comedy troupe Cold Tofu (Feb. 21). Other comedy shows to be announced (March 10, April 7, May 5, June 2, July 28, Aug. 18, Sept. 8, Oct. 13, Nov. 17, Dec. 15). Dance Companies Showcased Diavolo Architecture in Motion opens the series, defying gravity with its unique amalgam of precision, movement, acrobatics, architecture, and athleticism (Jan. 31). Thủy Vân Dance Company celebrates the folk, regional, and ethnic-minority dances from across Vietnam, bringing to life the country’s rich cultural traditions with stunning choreography (Feb. 22).
