Logo_Full_Color_CMYK.jpg Continuous Learning at the JMZ September 6, 2022 Hello Friends, As an organization, the Friends is dedicated to constantly learning more about the communities served by the Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo (JMZ), as well as how the JMZ and its programming can best address the needs of families, children and educators. As part of this effort, this summer the Friends funded DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) training for staff at the JMZ, as well as Friends’ staff and board members. Lead Consultant of Project 986 Consulting, Carmen Phelps, PhD, hosted two sessions tailored to the needs of the JMZ. For this newsletter, we spoke with Karin Garblik, co-chair of our Access & Inclusion Committee, about the training and how it supports our efforts to promote inclusion at the JMZ. I am excited to share that tickets are now on sale for Halloween at the JMZ!, a special fundraiser and Halloween event the Friends will host for families at the JMZ. Tickets are $30 per person with promo code “EarlyBird” between now through September 30, and $35 per person beginning on October 1. Proceeds from the event will go to the Friends’ Annual Giving Fund, which includes support for programs that expand access to science education in the community. Halloween at the JMZ! will be held on Friday, October 28th, from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. Join us for fun animal experiences and treats throughout the zoo. I hope to see you there! Warmly, Lauren Angelo President, Friends of the Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo Photo courtesy of Lee Harper Continuous Learning: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Training Interview with Friends Board Member Karin Garblik -- Access and Inclusion Committee Co-Chair What were the primary objectives of the DEI training? A priority for us at the Friends is to invest in continuous learning about the communities we serve, and to continue evolving a DEI-aligned approach with our environment. For this initial training, four desired learning outcomes were established, namely: to acquaint attendees with the information and resources to inspire support of DEI values; to familiarize attendees with data points that communicate the necessity of promoting DEI values; to teach contexts in which the JMZ can actively champion DEI values in practice and outcome; and to inspire attendees to continuously engage with educational activities that relate to DEI. To inform these objectives and to make the training as meaningful as possible, JMZ staff were surveyed on the topics they found most important to creating an environment aligned with DEI values. Both sessions emphasized the continuous nature of learning about DEI and the constant work required to create an environment welcoming to all staff and visitors. What did the training entail? More than 45 JMZ staff, Friends staff, board members and committee members were trained across two sessions. The first of these trainings laid the foundations for understanding what DEI is and defined the impact of implicit and cultural bias. The second session dug deeper into what we hope to achieve and what tools we need to develop as far as becoming more diverse, inclusive, accessible, and equitable organizations. The benefits of promoting DEI values in the workplace, from attracting more diverse talent to favorably impacting life outcomes of diverse communities were clearly outlined in both sessions. The training sessions were both interactive and collaborative. Attendees were challenged to discuss what we had learned and encouraged to bring up any additional questions raised while relating the session back to our own experiences. How were these training sessions tailored to the needs of a museum and zoo? Our consultant synthesized best practices in working with educational institutions, government services, and fundraising professionals to create an experience that acknowledged the multi-faceted nature of the JMZ. Attendees were asked to use personal examples and experiences to talk about how institutionally, the JMZ can best evolve into an educational resource accessible to people of all backgrounds. Staff at the JMZ and at the Friends were excited to speak positively about what we do well to drive forward a DEI- aligned approach, as well as what we can do better. What other efforts are underway to invest in continuous learning at the JMZ? We expect to be on this evolving journey for a long time to come, to that end will continue to evaluate opportunities for growth in this arena. As one example, later this year and into 2023, the Friends committed to funding an Evaluation Consultant position who can gather feedback about the communities the JMZ serves and advise on how to become even more accessible to underrepresented visitors. We are excited to see how this evaluation allows us to learn more about meeting the needs of our audience.

The City has already reneged on this by requiring almost everyone--child or adult--to pay $10 to enter the Museum. Now the City is proposing a bait and switch and has suggested raising the fee astronomically. The new Junior Museum and Zoo has done fairly well financially, especially considering it opened a year or so late and is still operating under pandemic-instituted policies that limits the number of attendees to keep people spaced out, and limits the time the Museum is open in order to clean "high touch surfaces." The truly outrageous thing is that the City is not proposing higher fees to to make up the difference in lost revenue between the projected income from the Museum and the actual income. The higher fees have been proposed to make the entrance fees cover the ENTIRE EXPENSES of the Museum and Zoo, so that the City is effectively not paying any of its costs. This is not the arrangement under which the new facility was built. The City of Palo Alto has proudly supported its Junior Museum and Zoo for decades. Now the City doesn't seem to want to support it at all, and sees it just as a financial liability. Unfortunately, this seems part of a trend on the part of City staff to expect the City's arts, recreational, and educational institutions to support themselves or make money for the City. For example, the Children's Theatre program has been cut so drastically that the recently announced "season" for the Children's Theatre includes only 2 shows during the school year that children can participate in. The 3rd show on the "season" is for adult actors to perform for children, a betrayal of the basic principle of the Children's Theatre since its founding.Previously, the Children's Theatre had 4 or 5 school year shows that children could participate in. I urge the City not to raise fees for the Junior Museum and Zoo. In fact, the City got the economics of the fees so wrong (such as underestimating the number of memberships that would be sold and overestimating the number of walkups), that I suggest the City make the Museum free again, as it used to be, and see what that does to attendance and fundraising. I further urge the City Council in general to stop raising fees for, and often slashing, its long-standing programs for children. The City's budget should not be balanced on the back of its educational programs. If you need to make cuts, I suggest you cut your building and technology budgets, and consider why you need to pay the City Manager more than the governor of California, especially when the City Manager and his highly-paid staff seem uninterested in supporting the beloved institutions that have made Palo Alto a special place to live, work, and play in for so long, and seem to see them only as ways to make money for the City in difficult times.

The Draft Housing Element Update will be available for review and comment in October. +++ What is a Housing Element? The Housing Element is a mandatory element, or chapter, of the General Plan that primarily addresses the housing needs of unincorporated Santa Clara County. Housing Element law requires local governments to adequately plan to meet their existing and projected housing needs, including their share of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation. To effectively plan for developing and preserving an adequate supply of housing, local jurisdictions must first understand the housing needs in their communities. Visit our project website for more information. Sign up for project updates here. We look forward to collaborating with you in formulating the County’s housing policies for the next 8 years.

I’m writing today with several requests to improve safety on our streets, especially for bike riders. 1. Please refresh the red no-parking paint at 410 Sheridan Avenue. People are regularly parking in front of the fire hydrant and in the red zones next to the entrance/exits to 410 Sheridan’s garage ramps. When we come up the garage ramp to turn onto Sheridan, we can’t see oncoming traffic when cars are parked at the red curb. That is why they are painted red. This is dangerous and a fresh coat of paint could help. 2. Could you (or Caltrain?) clean the litter from the on/off ramps that serve the Oregon Expressway and Alma Street intersection? They are cluttered with litter both large and small. It is disgusting. 3. On your website you have a five-year maintenance plan for maintaining our streets. Because we are trying to reduce car emissions, traffic, parking and noise in Palo Alto, I strongly suggest that the City create a maintenance plan that prioritizes the maintenance and safety of our bike lanes. In particular, the bike lanes on our main north/south and east/west bike routes, such as Bryant, Cowper, Ross Road, Loma Verde, East Meadow, Charleston, and Channing should be on a higher priority than a once-every-five-year maintenance schedule. Example: I ride my bike at least three times a week from the Cal Ave business district to the Ross Road YMCA. The condition of the bike lane on Loma Verde going east between Bryant and Middlefield has lots of cracks (some quite wide) in the bike lane. These are dangerous! A child would be at risk of falling off their bike if their tire went into those cracks. An inexperienced adult rider, maybe someone contemplating riding to work or running errands on a bike would be put off if they felt unsafe. They wouldn’t bother with biking and would choose to drive. We talk about getting people out of their cars, but unless they feel safe they aren’t going to switch to bicycles. How can they feel safe if our primary bike routes are in poor condition? Maintaining our bike routes, especially the major connectors between different parts of town, should be a high priority for the City. I suggest that the main bike routes be regularly assessed for maintenance issues — including repainting bike symbols when they’ve been half destroyed due to some street work or due to aging/fading. They shouldn’t be on a five-year maintenance schedule. 4. Years ago I asked Jaime Rodriguez about resurfacing Ash Street between Cal Ave and Sheridan. He said the plan was to resurface it the next year. Well, that has to be about 6 or 8 years ago! Our Mayfield neighborhood has many four-story buildings and our many residents range from seniors with walkers from the Sunrise Senior Living Center to families with children, to students and faculty at Stanford, to average citizens like me. Ash Street is a mess of cracks, holes, and bumps and it has been in terrible condition for years. According to the maintenance schedule on your website, Ash Street won’t be resurfaced until 2024! That is too long to wait. Ash street carries a lot of residential bike and car traffic as well as traffic to the Cal Ave business district. We need your help to make this street safer for all. Can you please expedite its resurfacing? Thank you for giving my suggestions your consideration. I believe we must reduce car traffic in order to address climate change. To do that, we must make it possible for people to switch from their cars and onto their bikes and public transportation. Our streets need to be safe in order to do that. Once residents experience safe riding it won’t be so hard to change.

Bay Area and State Labor Force Still Below Pre-Pandemic Levels but Where Will Workforce Growth Come From. The state has more than 200,000 fewer workers than in the month before the pandemic started and the Bay Area has more than 50,000 fewer residents in the workforce. Though the recent pace of job growth has been encouraging, it is not clear where new workers will come from with low unemployment already and low population growth. Perhaps the new school year going back towards normal will allow parents who dropped out to return to the workforce. And it is possible that more workers can come from remote locations so the Bay Area and state can see job growth without more residents working. Job openings remain high and sectors like air travel are constrained by lack of enough workers California Labor Force and Unemployment Feb 20 April 20 July 21 July 22 Labor Force 19,536,400 18,651,200 19,016,300 19,326,800 Employed Residents 18,733,800 15,685,900 17,609,600 18,568,200 Unemployment 802,500 2,965,200 1,406,700 758,700 Unemployment Rate 4.1% 15.9% 7.4% 3.9% Source: EDD, seasonally adjusted 385 Homer Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94301 • phone (650) 321-8550 • www.ccsce.com 5 Metro Area Labor Force (Thousands) Metro Area Feb 20 Apr 20 July 21 July 22 Oakland 1,402.2 1,332.2 1,362.5 1,382.7 San Francisco 1,043.3 978.0 987.1 1,032.5 San Jose 1,087.7 1,039.8 1,051.4 1,086.1 Santa Rosa 256.0 241.0 244.9 249.5 Napa 72.5 66.3 70.1 70.6 Vallejo 207.5 200.4 200.9 201.2 San Rafael 137.9 123.5 131.0 131.2 Bay Area 4,207.1 3,981.2 4,047.9 4,153.8 Source: EDD, not seasonally adjusted A Welcome Uptick in Housing Permits Permits levels in the first six months of 2022 exceeded 2019 and 2021 levels though East Bay permit levels were below earlier levels. The other counties showed large year over year gains. In addition, now there are almost daily reports of new housing projects being proposed and approved though it is often a long step until these units are completed and on the market. Bay Area cities are updating their Housing Elements currently and learning about the requirements to meet their RHNA goals. It is possible that the RHNA and update process is encouraging cities to loosen development standards and to approve more projects. While the current growth in permits is a positive sign, these levels are still below the RHNA targets for the region. More needs to be done. 385 Homer Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94301 • phone (650) 321-8550 • www.ccsce.com 6 Residential Building Permits Thru June Bay Area Housing Building Permits First Six Months of the Year Year Permits Alameda 2019 3309 Contra Costa 2019 1546 2021 3592 2021 2070 2022 2344 2022 1455 Marin 2019 149 Napa 2019 99 2021 118 2021 170 2022 200 2022 561 San Francisco 2019 1995 San Mateo 2019 945 2021 1294 2021 732 2022 2399 2022 1242 Santa Clara 2019 2527 Solano 2019 612 2021 2650 2021 864 2022 3589 2022 1026 Sonoma 2019 1216 Bay Area 2019 13201 2021 972 2021 13511 2022 1331 2022 14838 Source: CHF and CIRB Air Travel Up but Well Below Pre-Pandemic Levels in the Region Passenger levels are up over 2021 levels but still well below 2019 totals for the first six months of the year.

I received a call from Joe, asking me to let our Neighbors Abroad community know. Barbara was a strong leader of Neighbors Abroad, and led the organization across many years, often in times where interest waned. Barbara and Joe were a team as co-presidents, and they loved Neighbors Abroad, and also our strength today. There are too many gatherings at their home for me to count, and too many calls to the City assuring the interests of Neighbors Abroad within our City. A perfect example of Barbara at work is captured in Weekly from 2013 as the organization capped 50 years. I adore this picture of her. We all send our love to Joe, and know that his sons are with him now. We will celebrate her life, but now is the moment to take in her passing. My condolences to Joe and his family.

Image FEC United Faith Pillar Devotional September 5, 2022 PRAY FOR AMERICA! The main reason why America has been the most blessed nation in the world is because we chose God as our guiding light toward a free country. Now is the time for us to pray fervently, boldly, and with faith that we will be restored to the God-fearing nation we were established to be. One of our best weapons is prayer—God is listening! Below are powerful prayer topics (buckle up—it is time to get serious) to declare and believe through faith that God is with us and our nation will be saved (Refer to Daniel Chapter 5 as a reference): Pray… That a day of reckoning (The settlement of penalties for their unlawful actions) is coming! That those who have desecrated (to divert from a sacred purpose) our covenant with God must go That those who call evil good or good evil must go and cannot rule over us That those who try to compete with God, disregarding His word saying their ways are better must go in Jesus name, and they will completely fail and be replaced with righteous leaders That those who totally disrespect what is holy and sacred must go That those who distort the identity of who God is—They must go. We forbid any of you to rule over us That those who have polluted the nation with Baal doctrine (Baal was a cruel, sensuous, and revolting false god whose worship involved sexual degradation and lewdness) be detested and replaced by the true living God of love That those weighed on God's scales and found wanting (they have rejected God's calls of mercy. This is serious. It is life and death.) They must go. That what was stolen from God's house and God's people must be returned and those that stole these things cannot lead us That Anyone who God says does not measure up must go That God will take away power from Baal leaders and give it to whom He chooses That those who toasted Baal in departments and systems (both in government and business) all over this nation will see the writing on the wall! God will now interrupt your plans and parties! That babbling confusion and panic is coming to Baal leaders That dominoes will fall, and files will be found and opened exposing evil. That Christ himself will start an avalanche of exposure and destruction of the plans made to destroy this nation. Knees are about to knock as their exposed wickedness is revealed That America will reconnect to its covenant roots, which will produce righteousness that exalts our nation again That American shall be saved! We believe God's promises! We Trust God! (These topics were given as a nationwide call for believers to pray and decree over our nation by Tim Sheets of Oasis Church)Daniel 5 Belshazzar's Feast 1 Later, King Belshazzar held a great feast for a thousand of his nobles, and he drank wine with them. 2 Under the influence of the wine, Belshazzar gave orders to bring in the gold and silver vessels that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, so that the king could drink from them, along with his nobles, his wives, and his concubines. 3 Thus they brought in the gold vessels that had been taken from the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem, and the king drank from them, along with his nobles, his wives, and his concubines. 4 As they drank the wine, they praised their gods of gold and silver, bronze and iron, wood and stone. The Handwriting on the Wall 5 At that moment the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. As the king watched the hand that was writing, 6 his face grew pale and his thoughts so alarmed him that his hips gave way and his knees knocked together. 7 The king called out for the enchanters, astrologers, and diviners to be brought in, and he said to these wise men of Babylon, "Whoever reads this inscription and tells me its interpretation will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around his neck, and he will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom." 8 So all the king's wise men came in, but they could not read the inscription or interpret it for him. 9 Then King Belshazzar became even more terrified, his face grew even more pale, and his nobles were bewildered. 10 Hearing the outcry of the king and his nobles, the queen entered the banquet hall. "O king, may you live forever!" she said. "Do not let your thoughts terrify you, or your face grow pale. 11 There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him. In the days of your father he was found to have insight, intelligence, and wisdom like that of the gods. Your father, King Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and diviners. Your own father, the king, 12 did this because Daniel, the one he named Belteshazzar, was found to have an extraordinary spirit, as well as knowledge, understanding, and the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve difficult problems. Summon Daniel, therefore, and he will give you the interpretation." Daniel Interprets the Handwriting 13 So Daniel was brought before the king, who asked him, "Are you Daniel, one of the exiles my father the king brought from Judah? 14 I have heard that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that you have insight, intelligence, and extraordinary wisdom. 15 Now the wise men and enchanters were brought before me to read this inscription and interpret it for me, but they could not give its interpretation. 16 But I have heard about you, that you are able to give interpretations and solve difficult problems. Therefore, if you can read this inscription and give me its interpretation, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck, and you will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom." 17 In response, Daniel said to the king, "You may keep your gifts for yourself and give your rewards to someone else. Nevertheless, I will read the inscription for the king and interpret it for him. 18 As for you, O king, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar sovereignty and greatness, glory and honor. 19 Because of the greatness that He bestowed on him, the people of every nation and language trembled in fear before him. He killed whom he wished and kept alive whom he wished; he exalted whom he wished and humbled whom he wished. 20 But when his heart became arrogant and his spirit was hardened with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne, and his glory was taken from him. 21 He was driven away from mankind, and his mind was like that of a beast. He lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until he acknowledged that the Most High God rules over the kingdom of mankind, setting over it whom He wishes. 22 But you his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this. 23 Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. The vessels from His house were brought to you, and as you drank wine from them with your nobles, wives, and concubines, you praised your gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you have failed to glorify the God who holds in His hand your very breath and all your ways. 24 Therefore He sent the hand that wrote the inscription. 25 Now this is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN. 26 And this is the interpretation of the message: MENE means that God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end. 27 TEKEL means that you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient. 28 PERES means that your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians." 29 Then Belshazzar gave the command, and they clothed Daniel in purple, placed a gold chain around his neck, and proclaimed him the third highest ruler in the kingdom. 30That very night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeansi was slain, 31and Darius the Mede received the kingdom at the age of sixty-two.

County of Santa Clara Housing Element Update Dear Community Member, Thank you for your continued engagement in the County of Santa Clara’s 2023 – 2031 Housing Element Update. Join us to get an update on our project status! You are invited to attend our next Community Workshop and provide input on site selection for housing development and the strategies and policies goals to address the need for housing at the local level. The Project Team will provide a brief informational presentation followed by ample time for discussion. Date: September 7, 2022 Time: 6:00pm – 7:30pm Join Online Join by Phone: +1 699 900 6833 | Meeting ID: 961 9566 5945 This meeting follows two Community Workshops held in July that sought input on housing opportunities and challenges to be addressed through Housing Element Update strategies and policies. If you missed it, visit our project website to view meeting recordings and summaries. The Draft Housing Element Update will be available for review and comment in October. +++ What is a Housing Element? The Housing Element is a mandatory element, or chapter, of the General Plan that primarily addresses the housing needs of unincorporated Santa Clara County. Housing Element law requires local governments to adequately plan to meet their existing and projected housing needs, including their share of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation. To effectively plan for developing and preserving an adequate supply of housing, local jurisdictions must first understand the housing needs in their communities. Visit our project website for more information. Sign up for project updates here. We look forward to collaborating with you in formulating the County’s housing policies for the next 8 years.

Were vetting questions presented to the vetting pool of hand picked participants or member figuratively of a jury pool… Did anyone from the general public review the jury pool candidates, for any biases with respect to Andrew Bender, or favorable comments concerning his leadership? In any jury selection, prejudices, biases, demonstrated by anyone would be quickly removed from the jury pool by opposing counsel…voir process etc…. If so, lets disclose what those questions were in the interest of transparency. And the FULL disclosures and BIO’s of the participants Sue (mind boggling) reporter Dremann failed to report. https://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2022/07/26/andrew-binder-selected-as-new-palo-alto-police-chief Why? shes soft and favors her colleague Darryl Savage a PaloAltoonline.com reporter and I might add a former FBI agent. Mark Sent from my iPad On Sep 2, 2022, at 3:22 AM, Palo Alto Free Press <paloaltofreepress@gmail.com> wrote: Aram, The pattern of ongoing Palo Alto Police violence is clearly established even after 20years. Equally true is the soft kit glove approach to the actual criminal charges filed by then DA George Kennedy then, no relationship to John F. Kennedy. This is born out by the fact that district attorney Jeff Rosen has filed misdemeanor charges against former police sergeant Wayne Benitez in the well documented video beating of Gustavo Alvarez’s in his mobile home in 2018. Again, misdemeanor charges. It should become clearly seen and noted even by the ordinary citizen that if you or I or for that matter a man or woman off the streets of Palo Alto would beat a law enforcement person, would he or she be faced with simular misdemeanor charges? I think not! We would be looking at felony charges with perhaps a million in bail… Now, let me direct your attention to now newly appointed Palo Alto Police chief Andrew Binder. Whether he believes it or not, he finds himself leading a department steeped historically in acts of police brutality and makes no mention of how he plans to lead or curb the status quo. I believe, his vetting for this position was tainted and the cards were stacked in his favor by a set of hand picked politicly motivation individuals unbalanced in understanding the need for unadulterated leadership. Andrew Binder is cut from the same mindset cloth as past PAPD chiefs. That of brutality and out of control departmental violence.

That ruling was going to apply to California's tough rules to get a permit. So last night in the Assembly, a bill was voted on to re-impose our tough rules to get a permit to carry a gun, but it failed by one vote. So now, easier to get a gun permit in California. 2) KCBS says the City of Walnut Creek has closed some parks and open spaces for the duration of this heat wave. It is too risky for personnel to be out looking for people and rescuing them if, for any reason, including the heat, they are incapacitated. Fresno might consider similar action. It will be 112 degrees in Fresno on Tues., Sept. 6, 2022. People S/B inside in the AC in that heat, not out doing a meditation hike or looking for people. This is to protect the rescuers. L.

Equally true is the soft kit glove approach to the actual criminal charges filed by then DA George Kennedy then, no relationship to John F. Kennedy. This is born out by the fact that district attorney Jeff Rosen has filed misdemeanor charges against former police sergeant Wayne Benitez in the well documented video beating of Gustavo Alvarez’s in his mobile home in 2018. Again, misdemeanor charges. It should become clearly seen and noted even by the ordinary citizen that if you or I or for that matter a man or woman off the streets of Palo Alto would beat a law enforcement person, would he or she be faced with simular misdemeanor charges? I think not! We would be looking at felony charges with perhaps a million in bail… Now, let me direct your attention to now newly appointed Palo Alto Police chief Andrew Binder. Whether he believes it or not, he finds himself leading a department steeped historically in acts of police brutality and makes no mention of how he plans to lead or curb the status quo. I believe, his vetting for this position was tainted and the cards were stacked in his favor by a set of hand picked politicly motivation individuals unbalanced in understanding the need for unadulterated leadership. Andrew Binder is cut from the same mindset cloth as past PAPD chiefs. That of brutality and out of control departmental violence.

Hi Palo Alto City Council, Today the FAA announced that lead free aviation gas is now available for piston aircraft. Appreciate if the Palo Alto City Council could ban leaded avgas being used at PAO airport. Multiple research studies have shown the lead avgas used at airports such-as PAO causes lead poisoning in our youth. The new approval by the FAA removes any need to use leaded avgas at PAO.

To: Loran Harding <loran.harding@stanfordalumni.org> Thursday, Sept. 1, 2022 To all- Unreal price on a car from a car broker? Yikes. Big alleged DMV crackdown on one Clovis broker. Allegedly!! These are allegations only. Your ownership of the car may turn out to be unreal: Maybe better to buy through more established channels. I can buy cars coming off of GM executive try-out periods at good prices, but I'd be super careful there even when dealing directly with GM. Might have to fly someplace to pick it up. Clovis car dealer inching towards prison for $1 million fraud - ABC30 Fresno My boss, Bob Lake, the Assistant Treasurer of GMAC in its Executive Office in New York, bought a new GM car every year at a big discount and then GM gave him a new car every year. Every three months, the brass would all trade these cars among themselves. They'd write a report for GM about the car. Likes, dislikes, issues, etc. I took one of Lake's cars, a big Buick, from N. New Jersey up to Montreal, then up to Quebec City. Perfect little stone French town. I Looked way down on the St. Lawrence Sea-Way from the ramparts there. Then back down through Jackman, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Mass., Conn., and back to Harrington Park, NJ. Took one down to D.C. for three days once too. Bob said that the neighbors all thought they were in the Mafia, with all the new cars all the time. Lake was a Phi Beta Kappa and a Lt. Col. in the Army Reserve, so that probably dispelled their fears. L. William Harding Fresno, Ca.

FEC United Commerce Pillar Newsletter September 1, 2022 "One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered. The people curse him who holds back grain, but a blessing is on the head of him who sells it." Proverbs 11:24-26 Pain Points Are Business Opportunities Watch What's Already Happening in Europe As Germany falls apart (or as Michael Yon puts it, commits suicide), watch what's happening, see where the pain points are, and compare the situation with what's going in America (and remember it won't be the same for all the states; we have quite a variety of natural resources, political situations, and local economies across the states.) Heat and Energy Are there business opportunities at these pain points, where you could reduce the pain and stabilize society? For instance, do you see where people might be unable to afford fossil fuels this winter? Are woodburning stoves available there? If not, do you or does someone in your network have the metalworking skills to build them? Forest fires of past years have left a lot of acres of seasoned wood in the mountains. Can you find a way to get firewood to non-forested, high-density population areas if needed? Security What about security? By the time people, or better yet, neighborhoods, need security help, they want to already know who you are, and that you know what you're doing. Tell your networks what you could help them with. Food Likewise, this is the time to sound out potential suppliers and distributors for food chains. Or to update what you've already figured out - many people have been learning more about gardening and farming and now could be suppliers as well as consumers. (Others are realizing they want to learn - do you have gardening consultants in your network?) Here's a practice problem for you to start with: this is the season to figure out how to help get zucchinis from those who have too many to those who'll use them! Microbusinesses Maybe you are ready to be a microbank locally - to take over the debts people owe to big corporations, to work with them as a local person they know, to get those debts paid off? Or not - why lend out money at today's value if you get paid back with next year's less valuable money? But you can still help those in debt, for instance by setting up microlending circles. Support your community with other micro options that could work as businesses. For instance, microschools, learning pods, or various other options can provide an exit plan from the schools now starting up again with little to no improvement from last year. What about microlibraries for the books and documents that woke libraries are getting rid of? Act Now! Yes, You! An article in ZeroHedge reminds us: "But the reality is that no one needs to wait for an election, or for some politician to ride to the rescue. Most of us as individuals lack the authority or resources to fix national problems on a grand scale. But we absolutely have the power, and a multitude of tools at our disposal, to set ourselves up for success...." "We can certainly hope the Crisis of the 21st Century ends with voters coming together and electing a responsible government. But in the meantime, there are countless steps that anyone can take to improve their own lives which don't require any politician to save the day. Rather, all that's needed is a little bit of education, and the will to take action. That's what a Plan B is all about." Starting Brushfires of Freedom And this article from American Thinker reminds us to keep throwing sand in the gears of destructive systems: "No matter how small your personal act of defiance against tyranny, it is consequential in ways you may never know. Every Biden sticker next to a gas pump reminding Americans of Democrats' war on domestic energy production is a 'brushfire.' Every shared video showing crossdressing men stealing victory from female athletes is a 'brushfire.' Every email highlighting evidence of 2020 election fraud is a 'brushfire.' Every political cartoon mocking the World Economic Forum's 'Great Reset' agenda to usher in global communism is a 'brushfire.' Every religious gathering protecting the sanctity of life and rejoicing in God is a 'brushfire.' Every private conversation calling out 'climate change' as a Trojan horse for maximizing State control over the economy is a 'brushfire.' Setting small fires wherever you can makes a difference." Key Takeaways 1. Watch what's happening elsewhere before it gets here. 2. Work for your community; it's your own neighborhood you might be saving! 3. No effort is too small. Business and Economic News How the cattle industry came to be run by a monopoly. What is going on with housing? "One thing that is clear, people should take a cautious approach when they decide to make one of the biggest purchases of their lifetime." "So it's great to see that business owners are drawing the line. Put the issue in the laps of the elected officials, and use your taxes as a weapon. After all, you are paying for the police, and it's the political class tying their hands." Building the Parallel Economy Join like-minded businesses and find like-minded customers with the People's Chamber of Commerce. Agricultural business ideas small businesses could expand into - including side products such as rabbit manure for gardens, sheep/goats for natural mowing/fertilizing, or cosmetic snail slime? Or maybe you could help other businesses get started in small agriculture with agricultural equipment rental or construction of pens/coops/sheds/etc. I Want to Help FEC United! Get Involved!

Featuring photographs, film, and video spanning the 20th century, the exhibition focuses on work made since the 1970s, the time period after the term “Asian American” was coined in 1968. Arising as part of constituent communities’ efforts towards self-definition, autonomy, coalition- building, and education concerning their long histories in the United States, the term speaks directly to the concepts of identity and representation in both political and socio-cultural terms. At Home/On Stage is premised on the idea that photography, film, and video are key mediums in considering histories of representation. The mediums have been historically deployed both in the advancement of and in rebuttal to problematic or absent media depictions and as image-making tools used both by private individuals and for public consumption. The exhibition is organized thematically into two sections accordingly. “On Stage” responds to the lack of accurate, positive representation of Asian Americans in hegemonic American visual and performing art through Asian American artist portraits and conceptual projects re-appropriating found art historical and cinematic imagery. “At Home” responds to the same pernicious stereotypes in another way by showing Asian Americans in their private, family lives, which are both very “American” and deeply connected to Asian and Asian American culture. “Although the two sections of the show may seem quite disparate,” Dethloff notes, “taken together, they remind one that identity is influenced, formed, and transformed through the intersection of one’s home life and public life—one’s family, community, and society—over time and in varying ways.” The exhibition features primarily permanent collection artworks and celebrates several new acquisitions made collaboratively by Dethloff and Aleesa Alexander, the Cantor’s assistant curator of American art and co-director of the AAAI. “Over half of the works in the exhibition are new acquisitions,” Dethloff remarks. “It’s been a privilege to collaborate with Aleesa on these acquisitions, which also advance my own collecting goals of diversifying the Cantor’s photography collection and responsibly building a collection of new media. I’m excited for future opportunities to continue to add influential Asian American photographers, filmmakers, video and digital artists to our collection.” The exhibition also features select loans, including material from Stanford Libraries Department of Special Collections. Including the work of professional and amateur Asian American photographers working in earlier periods, these loans allow the exhibition to better demonstrate the role photography has historically played in documenting Asian American life, arts, and culture and in shaping Asian American individual, family, and community identity. In the works on display from the collections of the Cantor as well as those from Special Collections, there will be a strong showing of work by Asian American artists working on the West Coast, in California, and the Bay Area, including Ricardo Ocreto Alvarado, Patty Chang, Michael Jang, Reagan Louie, May’s Photo Studio, Irene Poon, Miljohn Ruperto, Stephanie Syjuco, Gloria Wong, Chao-Chen Yang, and Lai Yong. Several other Asian American art world figures, visual artists, and practitioners of the performing arts are represented in the works on view, including but not limited to sculptor Isamu Noguchi, actress Isabel Rosario Cooper, actress and dancer Ota Hisa (stage name Hanako), art collector Kimiko Powers, painter Miné Okubo, and designer and sculptor Wah Ming Chang. This exhibition is organized by the Cantor Arts Center. We gratefully acknowledge support from the Halperin Exhibitions Fund.

Join us to get an update on our project status! You are invited to attend our next Community Workshop and provide input on site selection for housing development and the strategies and policies goals to address the need for housing at the local level. The Project Team will provide a brief informational presentation followed by ample time for discussion. Date: September 7, 2022 Time: 6:00pm – 7:30pm Join Online Join by Phone: +1 699 900 6833 | Meeting ID: 961 9566 5945 This meeting follows two Community Workshops held in July that sought input on housing opportunities and challenges to be addressed through Housing Element Update strategies and policies. If you missed it, visit our project website to view meeting recordings and summaries. The Draft Housing Element Update will be available for review and comment in October. +++ What is a Housing Element? The Housing Element is a mandatory element, or chapter, of the General Plan that primarily addresses the housing needs of unincorporated Santa Clara County. Housing Element law requires local governments to adequately plan to meet their existing and projected housing needs, including their share of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation. To effectively plan for developing and preserving an adequate supply of housing, local jurisdictions must first understand the housing needs in their communities.

Subject: HIGH VALUE OF ETHNIC STUDIES FOR ALL Souce: Professor Russel Jeung, Phd, SFSU Date: 8/31/022 From: Allan Seid Stop AAPI Hate Header Friend, Thanks to the hard work and successful advocacy of Asian American and Pacific Islander educators, students and parents across the nation, more K-12 students than ever will be taking ethnic studies courses this fall. Ethnic studies teaches students about the histories and cultures of marginalized groups, including AAPI communities. It looks different in every classroom. In a literature class, integrating ethnic studies could mean teaching stories written by writers of color. In a U.S. history class, it could mean a more intentional focus on the history of Black Americans or Asian Americans. Whatever the context, ethnic studies has a big impact on students and educators alike — and not just in terms of academics. In fact, research shows that ethnic studies can help all students by: Promoting understanding and compassion for others, including fellow students Building critical thinking skills and understanding of racism and race relations Increasing student involvement in civic engagement and advocacy Ethnic studies is an essential step toward addressing anti-Asian hate because it helps us learn more about AAPI histories, and unlearn racism and racial prejudice. For this reason, we are committed to bringing ethnic studies into classrooms nationwide. Last week, Illinois became the latest state to prioritize ethnic studies, adding Asian American studies to its K-12 school curricula. Click here to learn more about it — and the growing national movement in support of ethnic studies.

Especially since I had just seen an elderly gentleman walking by with his cane, I went quickly to look and indeed there had been a fall. I spoke with the gentleman (Bob) and told him I was going to call 911 based on what I observed. I’m writing to thank you and your team for: • a 911 operator who was very clear in her communications and instructions and who stayed on the line until the paramedics arrived • nearly immediate response by the paramedics • a paramedics team led by Captain Aguilar who were respectful and caring of the 91 year old who had fallen • paramedics who quickly attended to his immediate needs while asking him questions, assessed him, and determined further actions. While the incident is indeed unfortunate, the care this morning is one of the things we have to be grateful for about living in Palo Alto. Thank you and kindly share my gratitude with Captain Aguilar and his team.

The 74-year-old victim was reportedly walking along Madison Avenue near East 52nd Street at around 11 a.m. when she was “punched without provocation” by the suspect, the Philippine Consulate General in New York said in an advisory. Most of the high profile cases of unprovoked assaults against Filipinos in New York City that have been reported to or monitored by @PHinNewYork involve elderly women like this 74-year-old kababayan who figured in this random attack on Wednesday. https://t.co/pWXRvai0cZ — Elmer G Cato (@elmer_cato) August 26, 2022 More from NextShark: After divorce, Chinese man sues ex- stepson for $5,200 as compensation for raising him Consul General Elmer Cato shared a video clip of the unprovoked attack in a Twitter post which shows the old woman falling to the ground after being hit by what appears to be a female attacker. “Most of the high profile cases of unprovoked assaults against Filipinos in New York City that have been reported or monitored involve elderly women like this,” Cato wrote in his tweet.

While the incident is being investigated by the NYPD Hate Crime Task Force, no further information has been revealed about the victim or the incident as of this writing. PDFA spokesperson Ma. Teresita Daza told reporters that the number of hate crimes against Filipinos has reached 43, most of which occurred in New York City, Manhattan and Queens.

To the Member of the Palo Alto City Council Re: Accessory Dwelling Unit The discussion concerning housing and accessory dwelling units, gave me two major concerns: I question the idea that accessory dwellings should be allowed to have basements. This of course, means once again that ground water will have to be pumped out. It will not only further lower the level of the ground water but also intensify the contamination of the remaining ground water by increasing the toxicity ratio. Many people have moved away from Palo Alto and some businesses relocated their main offices. I see many “for rent” signs and wonder therefore if the housing problem is easing as a consequence. Seems that Palo Alto needs affordable housing. It will cost quite a bit to build these accessory units, bringing fees to the City of Palo Alto, profit to the lender and commissions to real estate brokers. But will it really benefit the people who need housing the most?

Chantal Page Palo Alto City Council 250 Hamilton Ave Palo Alto, CA 94301 Aug 30, 2022 Dear City of Palo Alto Council Members, I’m writing as a startup operator, owner, and resident of Palo Alto, CA. The recently floated idea by Vice Mayor Lydia Kou of repurposing the Palo Alto Police Station located at 275 Forest Ave (behind the City Hall located at 250 Hamilton Ave) for housing as a homeless shelter is an impractical idea as a solution to a well-known systemic problem. The location of the Police Station on Forest Ave is in downtown Palo Alto, which has recently suffered as a consequence of the pandemic, and it is still getting back on its feet. In addition to commercial interests, the neighborhood is not built to support more unsheltered persons and it will undoubtedly cause a depreciation in home values. (Shall I mention the other lingering issue of RV squatters throughout the city?) While I am aware of the difficulties in finding a solution, I think whomever deems this idea a good one, needs to get back to the drawing board. While I don’t have a singular solution, there are a number of organizations like HomeKey / Life Moves across the country who receive money from HUD during NOFA funding cycles in the Continuum of Care format. These organizations probably are worth talking to on a larger scale (e.g., across the country) to identify the best solution (as well as observe what has clearly failed, so as to avoid it). We urge the council not to move forward with this idea because it would certainly cause irreparable harm to businesses in the nearby area, as well as to residents. Please feel free to contact me with any further questions or comments in regards to these concerns. Thank you for your time and service as Council Members to the City of Palo Alto.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links. ________________________________ I think it would be helpful for the City Manager’s review to include the requirement that the City Manager be more accountable to residents. An idea for achieving this is to dedicate 15 - 30 minutes of each CC meeting to an “Ask the City Manager” session. As is, the City Manager makes remarks, but those are scripted and the content is almost always information that is available through other resources. What we don’t hear much about is the status of critical issues such as recruiting for key positions, patterns of criminal activity (such as theft of particular vehicle brands), updates on negotiations such as the business license tax, status of the utility refunds, status of major projects, information about state water restrictions or air quality, etc. The City Manager should be available to answer questions so that the public - and Council members - can hear unscripted answers regarding important issues. This would also give the City Manager and City Council the opportunity to hear, publicly, what is of concern to residents. 15 - 30 minutes a week is not a big ask.

FEC United Education Pillar Newsletter August 30, 2022 Our Children Do Not Belong to the State It often feels like the rights of others supersede the right to raise your children as you see fit. With competing worldviews being pushed and forced on our children, parents need to not only reinforce their values at home, but understand the values of those who spend 7 hours a day (or more with extracurricular activities) with their children. Parents need to demand that schools are neutral in their presentations and expectations of materials used in schools. Demand that our children are protected from deviant ideology and their innocence protected. Schoolchildren Are Not 'Mere Creatures of the State' - Robert Pondiscio, Commentary Magazine What are your children being exposed to in their classroom? Take the time to review their reading lists. Get involved in your district curriculum review process.

Be cautious ofopening attachments and clicking on links. View this email in your browser Logo State Funds Project Homekey Palo Alto LifeMoves and the City of Palo Alto move forward with transitional housing project Dear Palo Alto City Council, Palo Alto Community Fund is thrilled to share that longtime nonprofit partner and Dave Mitchell Impact Grantee, LifeMoves, in partnership with the City of Palo Alto, has been awarded $26.6 million in State funding to expand services for the unhoused in Palo Alto through an innovative transitional housing facility which includes wraparound services. Located at 1237 San Antonio Road in Palo Alto near the Palo Alto Baylands, Homekey Palo Alto will provide a dignified transitional step for unhoused residents on the path to stable housing. LifeMoves will develop this interim housing shelter with 64 individual units and 24 family units—supported by comprehensive on-site services. The State grant award is a part of a California wide effort to sustain and rapidly expand housing for those currently homeless or at risk of homelessness. PACF is honored to be a part of this journey with LifeMoves through a $100,000 Dave Mitchell Impact Grant. In December 2021, PACF committed this grant, pending State project approval, in support of Homekey Palo Alto as part of the City of Palo Alto/LifeMoves application for State Homekey funding. This landmark project is made possible through public-private partnership. In addition to the State of California Homekey Program, the County of Santa Clara and the City of Palo Alto, local private contributions have been made by the Palo Alto Community Fund, Sobrato Philanthropies, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati Foundation, and a growing number of private donors. Slated for completion in late summer 2023, Homekey Palo Alto will be operated by LifeMoves, which will provide intensive, customized case management for clients including counseling, employment, and housing search services with the goal of paving a dignified path to self-sufficiency. Thank you for your continued support and dedication to giving where you live. With deep gratitude, Lisa Van Dusen, Executive Director Read the full press release here.

San Jose house: $2.1 million Date:Monday, August 29, 2022 11:46:15 PM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Monday, August 29, 2022 To all- 1200 sq. ft house in San Jose near Cupertino sells for $2.1 million. Built in 1957 and cost. origin. $24,000. Something like that will happen one hour from San Jose on a luxurious HSR train too. So this is at one end of the one-hour ride on HSR between Fresno and San Jose. Fresno will be at the other end of that one hour ride. What will that do to Fresno home prices? They will soar in value just by the money becoming available to connect Merced to Gilroy to San Jose. Photos: San Jose grandma house sells for $2M (siliconvalley.com) Who won't be one hour from Diridon Station in San Jose by HSR? Seattle, Portland, Salem, Eugene, Boise, Reno, Salt Lake, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Long Beach, not Sacramento for quite a while yet. Who ever thought that homes in Fresno would explode in value by connecting Fresno to San Jose in one hour by a high speed train? It cannot happen fast enough. It should not be a multi-generational project, like the pyramids or the Cologne Katedral in Koln. Wir brauchen es jetzt, wir brauchen es bald. Deutschland hat ein gross HSR system. Auch Frankreich, Spanien, Italien, Japon haben es. We defend them all and we go without. Thanks, Uncle Sam. CAHSRA needs $11 to 13 billion to build the Merced to Gilroy to San Jose link. That money should have been ear-marked in the Infrastructure bill, but Shumer blackmailed his fellow senators into giving the lion's share of the rail money in the bill to the NE corridor. We need our Senators to blackmail some senators into giving big additional money to California's high speed rail to make us whole. Those were California tax dollars that Shumer did us out of. Hey Shumer, that sort of stinks. L. William Harding Fresno, Ca.

Glad I live in NW Fresno with no steep, brush-covered hillsides or dead forests anywhere nearby. Notice in this article a disagreement between the insurance industry and the California Insurance Commission over Calfiornia State regs as to how homeowers' insurance premiums are set, given the wildfires. Prop. 103 says you look back at historical experience. The industry wants to use algorithms. California homeowners could continue losing insurance as wildfire threat looms – Orange County Register (ocregister.com) State Farm now offering added wildfire protection in Arizona, California and Washington: Look at this. Great idea. You'll be impressed. My house has now been insured by State Farm since August 15, 2021. I put a new roof on it in July, 2021. My house and both cars now with State Farm. Excellent prices and service. I strongly recommend State Farm: State Farm Now Offering Added Wildfire Protection in California, Arizona and Washington I'll make my pitch here again for this: There was a 747 tanker being used in California up until ~a year ago, operated by a private Co. in Colorado. Last I heard, they went BK. "Global Supertanker" I think it was called. It was used on the "Camp Fire" (?) in N. California, I believe. Operated out of McClellen (?). They are all set up to service it with water and retardant. It can carry 19,000 gal. of retardant per flight. Now there is still a DC-10 doing this work, so the news media says that "air tankers are being used" hoping that people won't notice it is the DC-10 and not it plus the 747. My idea: California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, NM, Arizona and Australia should form a consortium to buy and operate 50 such 747s to fight wild fires. (Australia is not one of the United States). The last time States co-operated like that was in 1860 when ~12 States seceeded from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America, the CSA. That tells us that it can be difficult to get big, multi-State agreements on anything. But one is needed wrt these wild fires. If the planes cost $100 million each to buy and convert, 50 would be $5 billion Spread over all of those States, it would be do-able. No airline in the US is still flying the 747, but some abroad are. Many are in bone-yards in Arizona ?, New Mexico, Spain and one former Soviet Republic. The "Blanco-Lirio Channel" run by Juan Brown had a good video showing the 747 and the DC-10 being reprovisioned at McClellen during the Camp Fire.. Find it on Youtube. Recently KCBS-SF interviewed a woman named Wilkerson who is an adjunct professor at UC Davis Ag Extension and chair of a commission on prescribed burns in California. She said "you know" ten times in four minutes, but she was interesting. Maybe hear it on www.KCBSradio.com on their "Ask and Expert" program. She contends that with all of the dead and dying trees we have that way more prescribed burns are needed in California. They don't help our air quality, but if they cut down on the huge fires, it seems like a good idea. L. William Harding Fresno, Ca.

Our wonderful group of interns who worked with us this summer have made meaningful contributions to our League’s Voter Services and Advocacy teams. Led by the incredible Megan Swezey Fogarty, this group made such an impact that we sincerely hope to continue the program next summer. This Fall, we will have eight membership gatherings to talk about the League and to have meaningful conversations with each other. With the support of one of our interns, these eight meetings have been scheduled and will be held in neighborhoods across the city; a League Board member will be present at each one. Thanks to those who are graciously hosting the gatherings. Please don’t miss our Fall Kickoff to be held October 2 at the Foster Museum. A film screening, Suppressed and Sabotaged: the Fight to Vote, will be a highlight of the event. Our thanks to Myra Lessner for organizing this wonderful event. And thanks to Paula Collins for putting on our first very successful DEI workshop. This is the culmination of League’s determination and commitment to DEI and we continue to do this important work. We are launching a new website in ClubExpress! Check out the new look and features at lwvpaloalto.org. We continue to use more of the ClubExpress capabilities to track membership, pay dues, find volunteers, etc. A big thanks to Hannah Lu, Rachel Kellerman, and Cari Templeton who have all worked on this project. On October 1, our Board members will have a retreat; stay tuned for more updates. We also produced a paper directory this summer. If you wish to have one, please let us know. See you in September!

Oyewole Kemi A. Oyewole is a Ph.D. candidate studying education and organization studies at the Stanford Graduate School of Education. Her research centers on understanding leadership development and organizational learning to advance equitable education reform. Beyond her scholarship, Kemi enacts her commitment to community uplift by mentoring young people, volunteering with civic organizations, and building her faith community. The Spelman College alumna believes in the power of diverse coalitions, workers' rights, and radical imaginings. Kemi will discuss a multi-level advocacy framework that combines interpersonal, organizational, and governmental engagement for a layered, sustainable approach to policy change. The model is based on her personal journey and leadership as the graduate fellow in-residence at Stanford's Otero Public Service and Civic Engagement Theme Dorm. At a moment of political polarization and partisan gridlock, using a variety of approaches offers us the small successes necessary to continue empowering voters and expanding democracy. Kemi will then introduce the film: “Suppressed and Sabotaged: The Fight to Vote” and moderate a discussion and Q&A following the viewing This powerful documentary from Brave New Films is about the growing threat of voter suppression and election sabotage to our 2022 midterm elections. The film focuses on the recent wave of laws being enacted in a number of states and how the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race between Stacey Abrams and Brian Kemp provides a case study for understanding today’s voter suppression laws across the country. It ends with an urgent call to action. This is a great chance to reconnect, bring guests, introduce them to the League of Women Voters Palo Alto and learn more about our advocacy and voter services committees.

Summer Interns: A New Strategy In a new collaboration with Youth Community Service (YCS), the League hosted three summer interns from the local area. Grace Johnson (Claremont McKenna), Brisa Moreno-Alcocer (UC Davis), and Tyler Ratcliffe (Duke University) worked alongside Board members to update materials, publish a membership directory, organize fall voter services and member events, and support development of the new website, among other projects. All three rated their experience as excellent, hoping in the future the internship could last longer and be scheduled when there are more events. Hosting interns is a wonderful way to share the League’s mission with the next generation. In the words of one intern, “This has been an amazing experience and I am honored to be one of the first interns for the League. I hope this program continues!” August 2022 Board Meeting Highlights The Board reconvened after a summer break.

Our Gun Violence Prevention Committee met with the Giffords Law Center to map out efforts to prevent gun violence. Our Housing and Transportation Committee continues to monitor the city’s Housing Element and will be examining approaches to housing finance which create or preserve permanently affordable housing for all. Please consider joining our committees if any of these topics interest you. State The deadline for bills to pass both houses is midnight, Wednesday, August 31. Recent bills supported by LWVC: Criminal Justice Reform: The Racial Justice for All Act (AB 256) would permit people harmed by convictions tainted by racial bias to vacate the conviction. The California Mandela Act (AB 2632) would place limits on solitary confinement beyond 17 hours. Campaign Finance Reform: SB 1439 would extend to 12 months the period in which local elected officials may not accept contributions over $250 from parties with an interest in a local decision and would require public disclosure of contributions before the local decision is made. AB 775 would preclude the use of pre-checked boxes to sign people up for recurring campaign contributions. Climate: If Gov. Newsom signs SB 922, it will exempt certain projects from CEQA, including bike lanes and bus or rapid-transit projects. SC Resolution 53 declares a Climate Emergency. Housing: AB 1466 is now law. It requires county recorders to remove racist language from deeds. AB 2817 would provide $1billion rental assistance to unhoused citizens for permanent housing, based on pilot projects showing that rental subsidies of $200-$500 per month result in stable housing. Education: AB 469 is now law. It requires the Student Aid Commission to help all students complete the Federal Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). National LWV of Missouri sued Missouri to stay the enforcement of a law which criminalized voter engagement efforts, violating equal protection and the fundamental right to vote. Anyone who assists with more than 10 voter registration applications who fails to register with the state or be a registered voter is subject to severe criminal sanctions. The law prohibits “soliciting” a voter to obtain an absentee ballot, denying Missouri voters the help they need to vote and stifling LWV and NAACP voter registration activities.

Of particular interest, it contains a number of climate provisions that will support an equitable transition away from fossil fuels. Here’s a sampling of those provisions. 1. The bill gives a legal boost to the EPA’s authority to regulate greenhouse gasses under the Clean Air Act—the most extensive updates to the Clean Air Act since 1990. 2. The bill helps low- to moderate-income houses replace their gas appliances with clean, efficient electric alternatives. 3. Purchasers of used EVs qualify for a credit of up to $4,000, if the pre-owned vehicle costs $25,000 or less and is more than two years old. Income limits apply to the EV tax credit—$150,000 for a single earner, for example. 4. The bill also expands the Clean Energy Loan program, providing up to $350 billion in additional federal loans and loan guarantees for energy and automotive projects and businesses. Energy experts call this the “sleeping giant” of the bill that could spur development of additional clean energy sources, among other technology investments. 5.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links. Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone 6 Daily Post Monday, August 29, 2022 Police dogs needed? Dear Editor: On Wednesday, 1 met with Palo Alto's new police chief, An- drew Binder, to discuss important po- lice practice issues. My first priority was to persuade the chief of the pos- sibility that the department — which currently has no canines on the force after the two previous canines, Balko and Bohdan retired — not reestablish a canine unit. It costs the city $500,000 a year not including the expense to pay off and defend lawsuits like the infa- mous Joel Alejo case. I provided the chief with a number of articles on the extreme danger of police canines, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning 2020 piece "Mauled: When Police Dogs Are Weapons," a compelling 13 -part series that traces th use of police canines from slavery - to�the present. Police canines continue to be used disproportionately on African -Ameri- cans and often result in severe or even deadly injuries. Finally, on the subject of canines, I asked that the 36 -second video, and all other police digital footage, of the Oct. 10, 2021 police canine attack on Palo Alto resident Alexander Furrier be re- leased to the press and community. Other topics discussed included: • whether to shelve Tasers; • the need to recruit black officers to the command staff; • a vetting process to ensure that mem- bers of white nationalist organizations do not end up on the police payroll. • And the creation of a police com- munity advisory board subject to the Brown Act (the law requiring open meetings with some exceptions). I'm looking forward to my next meeting with the chief. Aram James Palo Alto
