Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified adopts a parental notification policy

• October 11, 2023

Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District voted Tuesday night to become the next California district to adopt a parental notification policy.

As it’s written, the policy focuses on mental health, saying a designated school counselor would notify a student’s family if they have a “reasonable cause to believe that an action of a student will avert a clear and present danger to the health, safety, or welfare of the student and others around them.”

But Superintendent Alex Cherniss said it includes instances when a teacher or school staff member becomes aware that a student desires or starts to transition genders, requests to go by a different pronoun or experiences distress because their gender expression does not match their gender identity.

“Gender dysphoria is classified as a mental disorder,” Cherniss said, therefore it falls under the policy as an “action that is concerning the welfare of the student.”

When asked if the policy would require teachers to inform parents if a student identifies as LGBTQ+, Cherniss said: “If the teacher or staff does not deem there to be a clear or present danger to the student, no, they do not have to report it to the family. That is up to the teacher or staff’s discretion.”

Trustees Carrie Buck and Marilyn Anderson criticized the policy’s language as “not clear” since it didn’t explicitly mention students who might be transgender. They requested a second reading in November, but that was denied.

“I think, as someone who is representing the student voice, the language should be specifically outlined in the policy to make sure all students are aware of the policy and what could happen if such things arose,” said Aidan Mintzer, a Yorba Linda High School student who is the student representative on the board.

“Before this, I had no idea what the policy was about,” said Mintzer. “If this does affect me or other students, I believe students deserve to know how it will directly involve them.”

The board voted 3-2 to approve the policy Tuesday, Oct. 10 with Trustees Leandra Blades, Todd Frazier and Shawn Youngblood voting in favor of it.

“This is not a gender notification policy,” said Trustee Todd Fraizer. “This is a parental notification policy. This is not covering one specific issue. Just because politically that is what is being discussed and people want to politicize this, we want to make clear that this is something that will ultimately strengthen the relationship between staff and students.”

PYLUSD now joins several other school districts in California that have recently adopted policies that require school staff to inform parents if their child may be transgender. These policies typically include provisions requiring notification if a student requests to use a different name or pronoun or wishes to change a sex-segregated program like an athletic team or changing facility that differs from their assigned sex at birth.

Orange Unified last month became the first district in Orange County to adopt such a policy.

There, the policy requires a certificated staff member or principal to inform parents if their child, who is under the age of 12, requests to use different names or pronouns or asks to change sex-segregated programs. If the student is older, it is up to the discretion of a school counselor or psychologist to decide if it is appropriate to report the information to the family.

On Oct. 18, Capistrano Unified is set to consider a similar proposal, and many parental rights activist groups say they will attend Tustin Unified’s next meeting to encourage the policy to be addressed there.

Buena Park unveils first Koreatown sign near the entrance of the Source mall

• October 11, 2023

Buena Park’s northern portion was designated as “Koreatown” late last month, and on Tuesday, Oct. 10, city councilmembers unveiled the first signage displaying the new moniker.

The sign was installed on the corner of Orangethorpe Avenue and Beach Boulevard near the entrance of the Source Mall, a mixed-use retail, restaurant and entertainment complex home to several big-name Korean businesses. Councilmember Joyce Ahn described it as the “landmark” of Buena Park’s Koreatown.

“‘Koreatown’ is more than a name; it’s a recognition of a community that has significantly shaped the cultural and economic landscape of Buena Park,” Ahn said. “I am filled with pride as we take this step forward in celebrating our city’s beautiful diversity.”

The city’s Koreatown runs along the section of Beach Boulevard between Orangethorpe and Rosecrans avenues. Additional signage displaying the Koreatown moniker will be placed at key intersections where Beach Boulevard intersects with Artesia Boulevard and Commonwealth, Malvern and Rosecrans avenues.

Just saying no to fentanyl, Orange County joins public awareness push against deadliest opiate

• October 11, 2023

These days, even what counts as positive local news about fentanyl is pretty grim.

For example: Last year, 555 people died in Orange County after ingesting the powerful, synthetic opiate, some after they knowingly took a drug they’d been told was fentanyl and many others because they took a street version of a different drug – anything from Adderall to Xanax – that happened to have a lethal amount of fentanyl in it.

The positive spin? The 2022 death count was about 14% less than the 647 people who died locally of fentanyl in 2021. That was the first year-to-year decline in the nine years that fentanyl deaths have been tracked locally; in the four years prior to 2021, the county saw a five-fold jump in fentanyl deaths.

Such numbers – and a collective belief that even after the recent dip fentanyl is likely to keep killing locals of all ages races and ethnic backgrounds – have prompted Orange County to join a public awareness campaign called “Fentanyl is Forever.” All five county supervisors and several county health officials gathered in a conference center at the Santa Ana Civic Center on Tuesday, Oct. 10, to talk up the campaign, which includes a multilingual website, live town halls and efforts to boost availability of different versions of the anti-overdose drug naloxone.

Some also offered increasingly personal messages about their contact – and frustration – with the scourge posed by illicit fentanyl.

“The entire board is deeply troubled by the threat fentanyl poses,” said Third District Supervisor Don Wagner.

“The attraction… to users is because it is cheaper,” said First District Supervisor Andrew Do.

“Among Latinos, in California, there was an 85% increase in overdose deaths in 2021 from the year before, and it was the same in 2022,” said Second District Supervisor Vicente Sarmiento. “We know the impacts fall heaviest on people of color.”

“Fentanyl has, forever, taken one of my son’s friends,” said Fifth District Supervisor Katrina Foley. “He and his girlfriend took a Xanax. But one pill can kill and, forever, we no longer have those two with us.”

And Dr. Veronica Kelley, who oversees the county’s mental health and recovery services, noted that the drug has, literally, touched home.

“As a clinician, I know how important is to get the word out,” Kelley said. “And as a mom, who has used Narcan to reverse an overdose of my own child in my home, I know how important it is to have that drug on hand.”

The push is the latest step in what has become a long-running public health battle against fentanyl, which now accounts for roughly nine out of every 10 opioid deaths in the county.

Last month, the county authorized the purchase of 250,000 doses of different versions of naloxone, the drug that can revive people from opioid overdoses. One of those versions, sold under the brand name Kloxxado, is twice as powerful as Narcan and is specifically crafted to take on the chemistry of fentanyl. County officials handed out boxes of Kloxxado at Thursday’s event.

But officials were less specific about how the “Fentanyl is Forever” campaign will affect fentanyl use in the county. Anti-drug campaigns have a mixed history nationally, with once-popular ideas like “Just Say No” and “D.A.R.E.” eventually producing poor to mixed results in actually driving down drug use. And overdose data in counties where the “Fentanyl is Forever” campaign already is in use don’t yet point to big success. In Ventura County, fentanyl overdoses were up 10% last year. In San Joaquin County, the fentanyl death rate was up by about 8% in 2021, the last year records are available. And in Santa Barbara County, where the “Fentanyl is Forever” campaign includes a website, videos and testimonials that are identical to those on the Orange County version of the site (fentanylisforeveroc.org), 114 of the 122 people who died of opioid use last year were felled by fentanyl.

Still, until last year’s downturn in fentanyl deaths, other trend lines suggested local anti-fentanyl strategies weren’t working.

For example, public health data shows that even as fentanyl awareness has been a discussion point in public schools, opioid overdose deaths (about 90% of which now are connected to fentanyl) are shifting younger. Since 2017, people ages 25-to-44 have replaced people ages 45-to-64 as the group most likely to die of fentanyl or any other type of opioid.

Also, even though fentanyl is cheaper than heroin and other opioids, the communities with the highest overdose rates continue to be wealthy areas near the coast and in south Orange County.

The county also has yet to pinpoint data related to some elements of the fentanyl boom. For example, county data doesn’t differentiate overdoses connected to people knowingly taking fentanyl and people dying because a lethal amount of fentanyl was mixed into the drug they were using.

Kelley, the county health official, suggested such data isn’t tracked, but it also isn’t the point of the current public information campaign.

“I would just respond by saying dead is dead,” Kelley said. “We aren’t looking to see if they were trying to get high or not. The important thing to know is treatment works, recovery happens and Narcan can save a life.”

Frumpy Mom: Enjoying some sweaty fun in El Salvador

• October 11, 2023

If you’ve ever wondered if your sweat glands still work, I have a way to test this. It’s called “Visit El Salvador.” This could be the country’s new marketing campaign.

I don’t normally participate in activities that produce much perspiration, or as they called it for ladies in the olden days, “dew.” Occasionally, I’ll sit in the sauna at the gym, but I can guarantee you that I never produced as much dew as I did on our weekend trip to El Salvador.

I know, many of you are thinking to yourself, “El Salvador? Wasn’t there a terrible civil war there?”

This is true. They did have a civil war there during which government-backed death squads shot down their own citizens for the shocking crime of demanding to make more than 15 cents a day picking coffee beans, which was at the time the main crop of the country. The workers were starving while the plantation owners got rich.

Many Salvadorans fled the country back then and came to the U.S. But the war has been over since 1992. The street gangs who used to also plague the citizenry have recently been tossed into jail, and all the people I met seemed quite happy about this, though it remains controversial.

So, things are looking up there, and the tourism business has improved to the point that there’s actually something to do there except surf. Previously, people mainly vacationed there to enjoy the world-class surf breaks.

I know you’ll be astonished to learn that I don’t surf. I do, however, enjoy flowers and soaking in hot springs, which I know makes me a weirdo, but what can I say?

I’m a major cheapskate, so when I found a temporary deal where I could fly to El Salvador nonstop for $135 roundtrip, well, I said, “C’mon. Let’s go.” That’s how I pick all my trips – based on the availability of ultra-cheap airfares.

Now you understand for that price you can’t wear clothes or use the toilet and you have to fly tied to the wing.

Okay, I’m lying about that part, but we could only bring a small bag that would fit under the seat in front of us, in order to avoid paying exorbitant baggage fees.

I’ve done this type of flight a few times now, and it’s always an adventure to figure out how to cram all my clothes into a tiny case and still have room for my toothbrush and comb. I also need to be able to smash my purse into the case, because I can only get on the plane with “one personal item” the size of a flea.

I look at this as an interesting puzzle, and so far it’s worked out. One key is that I bring a sweater or jacket with capacious pockets, so I can jam as much stuff as possible into them. Trust me, you do not need a jacket in El Salvador because it’s almost on the equator, but it helps you cram stuff.

On the way home, I worried about trying to get my small cache of souvenirs into the same bag, but I figured if necessary I could just pull out the clothes and wear them. There’s no rule against wearing three layers of clothes onto the plane. However, amazingly enough, I was able to get the bag zipped, even with all the stuff in it.

So, you are probably wondering what one does in El Salvador. Well, the country is a green paradise covered with gorgeous rainforests. We hired a guide and driver from EC Tours and did the “Ruta de las Flores,” which goes up into the mountains, where it’s reasonably cool and there really are flowers everywhere. And waterfalls. And volcanoes. And hot springs.

We spent a day at the Santa Teresa Hot Springs resort, which costs the enormous sum of $10 for admission and gives you access to hiking, numerous hot soaking pools, cold soaking pools, and there’s also a restaurant and bar. There’s another hot spring resort next door, but we’ll have to wait for the next trip to check that one out.

We also strolled around cobblestone streets in the cute town of Ataco, enjoying the many murals and drinking delicious local coffee. Until recently, coffee was the primary crop and export of El Salvador, and the culture is everywhere. (Nowadays, I was told that it’s been superseded by sugar cane.)

People are incredibly kind and friendly there, although there isn’t much English spoken. If you don’t speak at least a little Spanish, you’ll spend a lot of time making hand gestures or – for those of you who are tech-savvy – using Google Translate.

The official currency is the U.S. dollar, which means you don’t give yourself a migraine trying to sort out the conversion rate for dollars versus the local currency in your head. Next door in Guatemala, the rate is 7 quetzales to the dollar. Just try to figure that one out quickly while you’re deciding whether to buy a trinket.

It’s so humid there that the slightest exertion meant I was perspiring like a dockworker in summer. After a short walk to a waterfall, I was so wet I had to change clothes, and I never went in the water. But I figure that I probably sweated out 10 years of toxins, so I really can’t complain. I got the sweat lodge experience without having to go into a sweat lodge.

We loved El Salvador, and I’m already planning to go back. It’s a five-hour flight with beaches, volcanoes, rainforest and hikes. Just like Hawaii, except a lot cheaper. Check it out.

Giant engines arrive in LA for long-awaited vertical reunion with Shuttle Endeavour

• October 11, 2023

Los Angeles is getting an historic boost today — actually, two of them.

Two iconic Solid Rocket Motors — the kind that once propelled America’s famed Space Shuttles into orbit — will formally end their freeway journey to the California Science Center in an L.A. spectacle like no other. The mammoth engines chugged along on the Harbor (110) Freeway before dawn Wednesday, Oct. 11,  the last leg of their journey to a new forever home, where they will be displayed with the shuttle Endeavour.

The giant motors — each 116 feet long, more than 12 feet in diameter and both 104,000 pounds — are among the last major components needed in what will ultimately be the only vertical, launch-ready configuration of a shuttle in the world.

After exiting the 110 freeway, the motors travel north along Figueroa Street beginning at 7:30 a.m., from 43rd Place to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. At 8 a.m. the SRMs will pause at Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard before a ceremonial “finish line” at 39th Street at 8:45 a.m.

The public was invited to gather along Figueroa Street, from 43rd Place to 39th Street, to watch what organizers say will be a “momentous arrival,” until 9 a.m.

All of the launch components — the shuttle Endeavour (which is already there but still horizontal), rocket boosters and massive fuel tank — will be included in the vertical display of the in the $400 million Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center.

Science Center officials in July officially began the process of creating the vertical display, in what they have dubbed a “Go for Stack” process.

On Wednesday, the rocket motors, which are being donated by Northrop Grumman, made the final leg of their journey from the Mojave Air and Space Port north of Lancaster, where they have been in storage. The engines spent the day on the road on Tuesday, spending an overnight stop at an undisclosed freeway-adjacent site.

The public was invited to view the arrival as the motors are hauled off the freeway and driven along Figueroa Street and into the Science Center.

It is a kind of moment that has become familiar in L.A., as years after NASA’s shuttle program ended, the region has become a kind of home for the iconic relic, with stunning visual moments to boot.

Many will remember 2012, when the awe-inspiring image of the Endeavour, atop a 747, in the Southern California skies made the final leg of a journey that began in Florida and ended with a 12:51 p.m. touchdown at Los Angeles International Airport.

And the arrival of the motors on Wednesday will occur 11 years to the day that the shuttle Endeavour began its captivating cross-town journey from LAX to the Science Center, where it was on display — albeit horizontally — until December last year, when preparations began for the vertical display to come.

The final component will be the delicate move of the shuttle itself across Exposition Park and the use of a crane to lift it into its vertical display, which will tower 200 feet into the air. The complex that will house the display will then be constructed around it, with opening planned in 2025.

Endeavor was the last of the space shuttles to be built — NASA’s replacement for the Challenger, which broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, killing all seven crew members aboard.

On Friday, take note of the traffic before you venture out:

A series of road closures are under way around Exposition Park from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. If you are visiting Expo Park during the road closures, enter the park by driving northbound on Hoover Street from Martin Luther King Boulevard.

OC Israelis, Palestinians mourn those killed following surprise Hamas attack

• October 11, 2023

Following the deadliest attack on Israel seen in decades and the launch of an intense bombing campaign in Gaza, Orange County Jewish and Palestinian leaders say they condemn the attacks and mourn the lives lost.

It is estimated at least 1,900 people have died in the escalating war. Hamas militants attacked Israel Saturday morning, launching thousands of rockets and flooding into neighborhoods near the Gaza border, slaying residents and taking hostages.  Israel has responded with airstrikes and sealing off the Gaza territory.

Analysts of the long-standing conflict between Israel and Palestine see it as a “turning point… with far-reaching repercussions.”

Several hundred people crowded the outdoor pavilion of the Merage Jewish Community Center of Orange County in Irvine on Tuesday night for a gathering to show support for Israel hosted by the Jewish Federation of Orange County.

Local rabbis led the crowd in an opening prayer for the state of Israel. “Israel is our beating heart, and right now it is bleeding,” one said.

Erik Ludwig, president and CEO of Jewish Federation of OC, said there is “no justification for acts of terrorism. They are pure evil, and all decent people have a responsibility to condemn them.

“The Jewish community here in OC will stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel as it does what it needs to do to defend its citizens and defeat Hamas,” he said. “You being here is standing up.”

Israel Bachar, the Israeli Consul General to the Pacific Southwest, called the Hamas attack the “darkest time in modern history.”

“Seeing slain Jews evokes ghosts of the past,” he said. “This is the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. This attack is a crime against humanity.”

Rabbis also called on elected officials to publicly raise their support for Israel and to stand up against growing antisemitism abroad and at home.

U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla and Rep. Katie Porter of Irvine sent video messages, with Padilla echoing calls for more U.S. government support and Porter saying, “We cannot remain idle as Israel suffers attacks.”

Among the local leaders attending were Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris, state Sen. Josh Newman, Fifth District Supervisor Katrina Foley, Third District Supervisor Don Wagner, chair of the OC Board of Supervisors, and Irvine Police Chief Michael Kent.

The Hamas attacks in Israel happened as the Jewish community was celebrating the weeklong festival of Sukkot, also known as the Feast of the Tabernacles.

Tania Weinkle brought her children to the rally. She talked about the importance of bringing children to these community solidarity events and talking to them about things like antisemitism, war and genocide. She said it’s “important for them to understand what we face as being part of the Jewish community.”

Local Palestinians and supporters in Orange County are also mourning the attacks.

Rashad Al-Dabbagh, the founder and executive director of the Arab American Civic Council in Anaheim, condemned the Hamas attacks, while pleading for the U.S. government to “approach threats to Palestinian lives with the same concern and urgency” as Israeli lives.

“We mourn the tragic loss of life. All people deserve to live in peace and safety, which requires that we address the root of the problem,” Al-Dabbagh said. “We must support a future where everyone lives in peace, with equal rights and dignity. In doing so, we must first support justice by lifting the blockade on Gaza, ending the apartheid system and ending the occupation. There is no peace without justice.”

In a joint statement, students from the Palestinian-led SouthWest Asian North African organization at Cal State Fullerton said they were “heartbroken” at the attacks, and showed support for any Palestinian students being harassed for speaking out.

“Palestinian people have endured an immense amount of pain, suffering and violence. The power in their resilience speaks volumes,” they said.

Rida Hamida, a first-generation Palestinian American Muslim and the executive director of Latino and Muslim Unity in Anaheim, said communities “are in mourning due to the loss of innocent lives. Every life is precious” and the conflict is raising more attention to the Palestinian experience in the occupied territories that “the world has turned a blind eye to since 1948.”

“We have to muster the courage to recognize that Palestinian lives matter,” she said. “We call for unity and to recognize every life deserves humanity and every life is sacred.”

At Tuesday’s gathering in Irvine, Hannah Rosenberg, 26, from Congregation Shir Ha-Ma’alot in Irvine, stood emotional with her sign: “I stand with Israel.”

Rosenberg, whose father is a rabbi, called Israel her “home away from home.” She recalled visiting the country and seeing Israelis and Palestinians together “side by side in peace.”

“So many people here want peace, both Israelis and Palestinians,” she said. “Hamas is not Palestine. Palestine and Israel have been together side by side for years, and that is how it should be.”

Disneyland raises prices for most daily admission tickets and all annual passes

• October 11, 2023

Disneyland raised prices nearly across the board effective today, Oct. 11, for every type of ticket except the most basic day pass, which will remain $104 per day. The highest daily admission price, usually charged on the busiest days, increased 8.4%, from $179 to $194, for a one-park, one-day pass.

Prices also went up for Magic Key annual passes, parking and Genie+ cut-the-line benefits.

“We are constantly adding new, innovative attractions and entertainment to our parks and, with our broad array of pricing options, the value of a theme park visit is reflected in the unique experiences that only Disney can offer,” Disney wrote in a published statement about the increases.

The Disneyland Resort typically hikes its prices about once per year. Park-goers who are willing to pay the increases tend to hope that the higher cost will reduce overcrowding.

“Going up?” Disneyland expert Dusty Sage, who runs the popular MiceChat blog, said. “While many ticket tiers are going up as much as 16%, the lowest cost $104 one-day/one-park base ticket remains the same as it has been since 2019, and with more dates at that lower price.”

Sage added that “Disney has become very clever about taking the sting out of price increases. This year’s round of ticket inflation is tempered by a new $50 child’s ticket offer.”

The Anaheim resort officials recently unveiled a discounted child’s ticket offer for kids ages 3-9. It’s only good for visits between Jan. 8 and March 10, 2024. Starting at $50, discounted tickets can be purchased beginning Oct. 24.

Day passes

Price hikes on regular daily tickets and multiday passes vary from $5 to $65, depending on the offering. This represents increases from 3.9% to 15.7%

Single-day tickets for one park are priced according to their expected popularity, with seven different pricing levels.
The cost of a single-day ticket remains at $104 for the least-busy weekdays, but all others will cost visitors more.
With the increase, daily admission prices will be $104, $119, $134, $154, $169, $184 or $194, depending on the day.

Magic Key annual passes

There are four levels of annual pass, depending on blackout dates and perks. The new price structure increases from 3.1% for the priciest Inspire pass to 21.5% of the midlevel Enchant pass.

Inspire pass: $1,649, up $50
Believe pass: $1,249, up $150
Enchant pass: $849, up $150
Imagine pass: $499, up $50

Parking

It will now set you back $35 to park a passenger car at the theme parks, up $5 for most types of parking. Most hotel parking also went up $5.

Downtown Disney is the only parking cost that remains unchanged, at $10 for the first hour to a maximum of $66 for the day, without validation.

Other changes

Genie+ cut-the-line day passes now cost $30, up from $25, when bought in advance. Day-of passes vary in cost. Two more rides — Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway and The Little Mermaid — will be added to the plan.

The Park Hopper add-on, which allows visitors to visit both parks in the same day, increased for multi-day passes, up $5 to $15 depending on the number of days. The single-day park-hopper addition remains $65, with no price increase, so park-hopper tickets will run $169-$259 per day.

“A family of four visiting Disneyland during the busy Christmas season will pay $1,156 for tickets, park-hopping access and front-of-the-line Genie+ access,” Sage said. “Call it “Funflation.”
