The album is available to pre-order now and the Cure will donate all of their recording royalties from the project to War Child UK — a cause that made Mixes “an even more special release.” Rolling Stone UK is published by Stream Publishing Ltd It follows on from Robert Smith sharing a remix of Deftones’ ‘Teenager’ back in 2020 Deftones frontman Chino Moreno has shared a “cold, dystopic” version of The Cure’s ‘Warsong’ the latest preview of the record has been shared in the form of a ‘Warsong’ cover the new version captures the same charm and atmosphere as seen in the original track although it adds a slightly more sinister feel It peels back the layers of the ‘Songs Of A Lost World’ version to deliver a harsher “I chose ‘Warsong’ to remix as it’s one of those slow-building brooding musical pieces that have always drawn me into The Cure’s music,” Moreno said “My idea with this remix was to strip it back slightly of its organic instrumentation and bring in ridged mechanical percussion and some down-pitched vocals aimed to bring forth the cold/dystopic feel of the song while maintaining the core beauty of what existed.” In a five-star review of ‘Songs Of A Lost World‘ – which went on to be named one of our Best Albums Of 2024 – NME wrote: “Merciless but there’s always enough heart in the darkness and opulence in the sound to hold you and place these songs alongside The Cure’s finest “The frontman suggested that another two records may be arriving at some point but ‘Songs Of A Lost World’ feels sufficient enough for the wait we’ve endured just for being arguably the most personal album of Smith’s career but there’s colour in the black and flowers on the grave.” The world’s defining voice in music and pop culture: breaking what’s new and what’s next since 1952 California schools spend millions on police officers What California can learn from Texas about bilingual education Are California schools becoming more vulnerable to measles Pandemic-era push to ‘build solutions’ must continue How earning a college degree put four California men on a path from prison to new lives | Documentary  Patrick Acuña’s journey from prison to UC Irvine | Video rising risk: Vaccination rates down in California Five Years Later: Covid’s Lasting Impact on Education Calling the cops: Policing in California schools Black teachers: How to recruit them and make them stay Lessons in Higher Education: California and Beyond Five years after Covid: Innovations that are driving results The Chino Valley Unified School District has plans to send the Trump administration a letter requesting that it intervene on matters concerning transgender athletes following a unanimous vote from the school board, according to Spectrum News “The Chino Valley Unified School District is committed to protecting girls’ sports, ensuring parental rights and following federal law,” the agenda item states “We urge immediate federal intervention to prevent further harm to female athletes Chino Valley Unified also plans to file a claim with the U.S Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights A rally was held in response outside of Chino Valley Unified’s board meeting with many expressing their support for transgender students John Fensterwald, Diana Lambert, Emma Gallegos, And Zaidee Stavely The president’s initial budget for fiscal 2025 preserves Title I and funding for students with disabilities but eviscerates other decades-old programs for underserved students Da’Shay Templeton Physical fitness isn’t just a health issue — it’s tied to academic success And too many schools aren't focused on that Su Jin Jez Millions of potential college-goers would benefit if California created a council to assist people in accessing programs that could help them realize their dreams Karen D'Souza For arts students who lost so much as fires swept through the Los Angeles area in January a new musical instrument is a big step back toward normalcy Stay ahead of the latest developments on education in California and nationally from early childhood to college and beyond Sign up for EdSource’s no-cost daily email The annual street improvement project allocates funding each year to rehabilitate the City’s residential and main arterial streets including but not limited to: asphalt grind and overlay City staff evaluates existing road conditions and implements roadway improvements based on the 2021 Pavement Management System Report Pavement Condition Index (PCI) analysis and field investigations The annual project is finalized each spring and the work is generally completed during the summer months due to technical and traffic impact reasons The warmer months pose ideal conditions for the job and a lighter impact on the traveling public when schools are not in session but is not limited to:  Mobilization;

the 60 Freeway were shut down for hours in the Chino area Monday morning after a crash that left two people dead The solo-vehicle collision involving a Tesla Model 3 happened around 2 a.m according to the California Highway Patrol the driver of the Tesla lost control of the vehicle traveled up a dirt embankment and was pronounced deceased at the scene," CHP said in a press release The 21-year-old female driver and a man in his 30s were killed in the crash while a woman in her 20s and a baby were taken to an area hospital Westbound lanes of the freeway reopened by 5:30 a.m The cause of the crash is under investigation The National Day of Prayer will be celebrated in both Chino and Chino Hills on Thursday The theme is “Pour Out to the God of Hope and Be Filled” based on Romans 15:13 Calvary Chapel Chino Valley is one of the organizers of the event to be held at noon on the front lawn of City Hall The gathering will include small group prayer for leaders Calvary Chapel Chino Valley will also have a 7 p.m for the congregation to gather and seek the Lord on behalf of the nation Dessert and coffee will follow the service the Day of Prayer is returning to Chino Hills at the Chino Hills Community Center gazebo Several pastors will lead in prayer for the government Pastor Dennis Hostetler of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills accepted a proclamation during Tuesday’s city council meeting and invited the community to the gathering President Ronald Reagan recognized the first Thursday of May each year as National Day of Prayer Despite having a two-year budget designed to allow the Chino City Council and staff to focus on long-term planning the city’s general fund is in a $6.3 million deficit to say the least,” Mayor Eunice Ulloa said at Tuesday’s council meeting “We’re going to have to roll up our sleeves and tighten our belt.” The council voted 4-0 to approve a $7 million transfer to the general fund to address what is being described by staff as “an urgent need.” The deficit was discovered after the City Council approved the mid-term budget on Jan said the deficit is driven largely by a $15.8 million reduction in development impact fees due to delays in multi-unit development projects such as the 298-unit Chino Creek Apartments which will be built on Chino Hills Parkway in the vicinity of The Commons a 200-unit apartment complex proposed on the northeast corner of Chino Hills Parkway and Ramona Avenue and the controversial 267-unit Eden development proposed on the northwest corner of Euclid and Schaefer avenues Sao said there is an unusually high amount of one-time expenses this year She also said more expenses are coming up before June that are not included in this budget projection City Manager Linda Reich said one of the upcoming expenses is a $1.5 million payment to Caltrans which according to a staff report is due to staff missing multiple contract renewals related to the Pine Avenue connector project the council approved $3 million in expenses that were not included in the mid-term budget analysis including $2 million for the Ayala Park softball fields project and $620,440 for the 60 Freeway landscape maintenance agreement “We have a lot of large item appropriations and a reduction in revenues so the current fiscal year’s operation will end in a deficit,” Ms Mayor Ulloa said the project delays have hit the budget hard “It raises a flag to all of us that one day when we’re built out we’re not going to have those development services incomes coming in,” she said “We cannot rely on those kinds of fees to sustain us.” The mayor also mentioned a “big expense” coming up but said she was hesitant to talk about it and did not return the Champion’s call to discuss it “We clearly knew some of the large developments were not going to come to fruition,” Councilperson Karen Comstock said She requested that budget numbers be brought to the council before decisions are made on projects Chino Hills State Park has stunning views in the springtime The City of Chino Hills recently expressed concern about fire mitigation efforts at the State Park going so far as wanting to visit Sacramento and request an audit It would perhaps have been more informative if the city had contacted anyone in authority at the Park to ask questions directly The City could also have learned something from the Park’s Fire Management Plan which was signed off by Chino Valley Fire District Chief Dave Williams in 2023 By asking questions rather than jumping to the conclusion that the Park is not doing enough the City would have been relieved to learn that it has actually done a good job in planning the County knew the State Park was coming and planned for it keeping housing away from the proposed Park boundary Chino Hills has planned sufficiently well that only one neighborhood is really close to the State Park all neighborhoods in Chino Hills are adjacent to privately owned open space If the City has concerns about defensible space even extensive habitat clearance cannot stop a wind-driven fire where embers can jump miles ahead of the flame front The one area where the Park is close to homes is at the Park entrance at Elinvar and Sapphire and that boundary is separated by a road the land immediately adjacent to the road is owned by the City of Chino Hills where they have actually added vegetation and flammable wood chips as ground cover Finally, the City could have also referenced our Fire Study from 2017 to learn the history and origins of fires in the hills. Please visit hillsforeveryone.org/PDFs/news/hfe-publications/2018-Wildfire-Study.pdf The City would have learned that no fire that started in the State Park (by Edison every major fire that has burned through the Park has come from the outside — housing we know we cannot stop wind-driven fires until the winds die down All we can do is make it harder for our houses to catch fire and to make it safer for firefighters to try to help I hope the City will be more neighborly when communicating with Park staff the City has been a longtime supporter of the Chino Hills State Park Old timers may remember that the other option for the hills was an international airport Claire Schlotterbeck is the Executive Director for Hills for Everyone and a founder of the Chino Hills State Park She has worked for

requires heavy lifting So when the New Mexico County Insurance Authority formed its own captive city risk manager Taylor Horst relied on John Chino to get the job done after helping us get the resources marshaled to set up a captive insurance company John worked to connect us with the resources within his firm necessary to put in place a reinsurance structure for the new captive,” Horst said John even went as far as to put me in contact with an attorney who took us through the private letter ruling process.” This effort — and Chino’s connections — led the IRS to issue a private letter ruling that the county associations’ captive doesn’t have to pay federal income taxes Chino’s connections and endless trove of resources make him a standout broker for many clients: “You hear the terms ‘lawyer’s lawyer’ or ‘doctor’s doctor.’ John — he’s the broker’s broker,” said Derek Bryan Chino makes himself a resource for his clients: “His superpower really is knowing his stuff but then also being able to teach it so others can understand,” said Deborah Callahan he showed Callahan’s pool the value in taking its sexual abuse and molestation claims from occurrence to claims made he had to educate the board on what that meant John worked to help the board understand the intricacies of moving from occurrence to claims made,” said Callahan All 2024 Power Broker Winners 2024

operations of a Japanese insurance company with a 350-year legacy This year six brokers were selected as Nonprofit Power Brokers Risk managers have one primary goal: managing today’s toughest risks by utilizing the best insurance options available Traditional policies such as general liability workers’ compensation give risk managers the basis for coverage and provide peace of mind should a loss or claim arise The savvy risk manager knows that an effective coverage plan also requires flexibility and adaptability That’s why many look to alternative risk solutions to bolster their risk management strategies “Alternative risk solutions can help risk managers strike the balance between control and adaptability in their risk management solutions,” said Robert Curtis offer an extra layer of control and range in terms of coverage and protection that go beyond traditional insurance to help businesses more effectively manage and transfer risk were created in direct response to client feedback meaning they have been created with clients’ specific risks and needs in mind For those looking at ARS as a risk a management tool it’s important to understand the benefits they provide for businesses the importance of engaging with insurance partners and how organizations can initiate ARS strategies to deliver enterprise value and build corporate resilience ARS offer a level of flexibility for businesses That’s because they are designed to adapt to the individual client’s needs offering innovative and custom-built options to enhance risk management strategies These types of solutions also give businesses an opportunity to allocate funds where they are most needed Every business operates on a budget; having the ability to really look at where money is going and make sure it’s being utilized where it’s needed most is paramount “As risk managers aim to control and mitigate risks effectively ARS can help introduce flexibility into risk management strategies enabling companies to adapt—and even thrive and hold a competitive advantage,” Curtis said more complex organizations truly benefit from ARS due to their intricate risk profiles that require sophisticated solutions Incorporating ARS into the mix enables a more granular view on managing those risks “International operations are prime candidates due to the variety of risks they face across different jurisdictions and markets That kind of risk profile necessitates flexible risk solutions and that out-of-the-box thinking that comes with alternative risk solutions,” said Curtis He also noted that those looking into ARS are often businesses that possess a degree of risk management sophistication These operations already utilize traditional risk strategies but turn to ARS to become more innovative in their approach The important question risk managers should be asking is which ARS is the right fit for the risk it’s not “one size fits all.” There are different program types to consider customizable and strategic risk transfer option structured solutions are designed to focus on a single product line over multi-year agreements “These solutions are often very bespoke meaning they will be tailor-made for the specific organization looking into the structured solution,” Curtis explained This type of solution is structured so that it can meet the client’s capital needs and adjust to the “peaks and valleys,” as Curtis put it The main goal is to help manage volatility in the market while creating capital efficiency Parametric solutions are becoming more popular thanks to the inherent transparency built into its ARS model This type of coverage activates based on predefined parameters such as weather-related perils or cyber events ensuring faster payouts in the event of a claim Not only are the activation criteria clearly outlined but the data used to measure and determine payout amounts is also specified upfront This level of clarity and efficiency makes parametric solutions an appealing option for policyholders seeking prompt and reliable financial support “Parametric agreements have known triggers built into the coverage the insured already knows what to expect,” Curtis said Insurers have also been looking at parametric to expand into new markets and risk areas where non-physical damage risk are prevalent for clients “As data collection continues to increase at an exponential rate the ability to expand development and customization on parametric programs to reduce basis risk grows with each new program,” Curtis said Captives are a solid ARS option for businesses looking to manage and insure their own risks but they are experiencing an uptick in interest for some of today’s more pressing risks Curtis noted more companies are looking at captives to manage their cyber exposers or their supply chain risk—two areas where they might be running into coverage obstacles in the traditional marketplace if they are using the captive to insure some of these more prominent risks is there a different way to buy reinsurance,” he said “Here’s where we’re seeing activity as more captive owners look to evolve their captives moving forward.” integrated solutions cover multiple lines of coverage with a shared limit integrated solutions can ease the administrative burden and provide clarity of coverage contributing to their growth in popularity among clients They can also act like a comprehensive umbrella policy that encompasses multiple lines of coverage This approach not only promotes efficient capacity by allowing shared limits across various lines requiring only one renewal every three years instead of managing multiple “Instead of buying a separate tower for casualty and financial lines clients will turn to integrated solutions to buy a shared limit It turns into a more efficient way of buying capacity and having more stable capacity over time,” Curtis shared It’s important that businesses choose the right ARS that fits their needs Curtis recommends that risk managers place three key strategies at the forefront of their decision making: being open-minded and taking a collaborative approach to development “Risk managers should remain open to exploring ARS looking at both the traditional and non-traditional options as part of their overall risk management strategy,” he said Communicating with stakeholders and having transparent conversations around ARS will give everyone a better understanding of the end goal When engaging with C-suite executives and board members it is essential for risk managers to articulate the potential benefits of adopting these solutions including cost savings and capital management “Risk managers need to be able to communicate how these programs are going to work internally and the value they bring to the business,” noted Curtis Effective communication will lead to collaboration because the groundwork will be laid in those early conversations around ARS benefits Working together with the internal team and external insurance partners will result in the best outcome “By co-creating a solution with a client we can ensure that the program effectively meets its risk management needs today and evolves as the organization and its needs change These solutions are designed to be dynamic so they continue to be relevant and impactful over time,” explained Curtis Different ARS bring different solutions to the table The right insurance partner will help its client achieve its ARS goals while addressing any risk management questions that arise along the way the alternative risk solutions team is always thinking about what their clients need The insurer recognizes the risk environment is always changing The demand to find better solutions for long-standing resilience is paramount and ARS can give clients a risk management boost “Our ARS team was established in direct response to client feedback that highlighted the need for customized solutions that reflect these dynamics We listen to our clients and recognize that as the risk environment becomes more volatile our clients need different options to take on tomorrow with confidence,” said Curtis Curtis and his team can work deals anywhere around the globe They also come with extensive knowledge of international risks that need to be addressed making the ARS underwriting process run smoothly “When I’m developing a program I make a point to reach out to our local underwriters They know what that specific area’s risks are and what will help the client It’s a truly collaborative partnership with Liberty,” he said And that collaboration benefits clients who are looking to hone in on their risks and find customized solutions through ARS offerings “If a client comes to us with a problem they’re trying to solve we can co-create a customized program that works best for them,” said Curtis To learn more, visit: https://business.libertymutual.com/corporate-resilience/ This article

Commercial insurance rates continue to see modest increases in 3Q but hurricane season may lead to potentially significant losses Sign up for our R&I One weekly newsletter I am by no means an expert in the financials of housing and rental markets but I have years of experience in being crushed with insane rental rate increases Like so many others in California and other states in our country I live daily with a financial guillotine that rests on my neck as I grapple with grocery prices and the dreaded rent increase which I brace myself for each June when my lease renewal comes up I felt the guillotine press deeper two months ago when my rent increased to $3,100 per month a slew of surprise fees pop up on my service bill such as last year’s $10 charge for the privilege of parking in my own garage I have had to pay $30 a month for a company that picks up my trash from my porch and walks it over to the Waste Management bin so the corporate landlord can “check the box” to comply with the organic waste state mandate 64-gallon Waste Management organics container for the entire complex of 220 units I make a habit of lifting the lid on this container when I walk by and I burst out laughing each time I still have to pay my $28 monthly trash fee—a total of $58 a month in trash fees (double dipping I call it) compared to households in Chino Hills that pay $28.64 per month I just found out today that starting with my next lease renewal a new fee will be added to my monthly rent: a 1GB Internet speed “for only $60 a month.” The declaration came with the usual “we’re so excited to announce” as well as the “assurance” that the new fee will not exceed the rent amount permitted under the California Tenant Protection Act I might as well say the quiet part out loud and hope the consequences won’t haunt me or evict me I live in the Eagle Canyon Apartments in northern Chino Hills at the intersection of Peyton Drive and Chino Avenue one of the largest publicly traded owners and operators of rental apartment properties in the country When I became single in 2014 after living on the wooded Bayberry Drive for decades I visited every apartment complex in Chino Hills and fell in love with Eagle Canyon The complex was built in 1985 so the beautiful trees have had 39 years to mature It feels like I live in a mountain community with towering pines and green slopes that give me a beautiful view from almost every window quiet community with a friendly and attentive property staff and pathways for hiking on the perimeter of the property My rent was $1,700 per month and utilities were reasonable when I moved in but a rapid acceleration began to occur a few years later and ballooned out of control after COVID with my rent increasing well over $100 each year My fellow residents in Chino Hills are seeking night jobs and establishing side hustles to make ends meet It is heartbreaking to see residents evicted after years of living in a rented home and suffering from sticker shock as they look for another place to live Our children are overwhelmed with student debt long after they graduate and buying a home is getting further out of reach Many of my friends in Chino Hills are sacrificing their retirement funds to keep their kids I’ve been subscribing to financial publications as I attempt to understand what is going on but all I see is that rents are showing little signs of easing and that middle and even high-income renters are becoming “rent-burdened.” None of the articles talk about the added “junk fees” such as the garage fee the “valet” trash fee for a fake organics pickup and anything else they can add to the already insanely high rents Equity Residential was named in two lawsuits last year over allegedly participating in a scheme with other landlords to illegally raise prices through the third-party company RealPage Inc that supplies property management software to operators of apartment buildings the Department of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit claiming that RealPage’s pricing algorithm enables landlords to share confidential competitively sensitive information to align their rents The complaint alleges that in a free market these landlords would otherwise be competing independently to attract renters based on pricing This makes sense but will the end result have any impact on us at all I don’t claim to understand market monopolies and price controls but I think I know price gouging when I see it Officials representing the Animal Resource Center of the Inland Empire are shown after the city council voted to join the agency Shown in center is executive director Clinton Thacker with Jodi Kroeger the Chino Hills City Council decided to end its longtime relationship with the Inland Valley Humane Society (IVHS) on Tuesday The contract will continue for another two years until it expires and the unincorporated areas of the west end of San Bernardino County to become a member of the Animal Resource Center of the Inland Empire (ARC) ARC will open a temporary animal shelter on July 1 at 1630 Shearwater Street in Ontario and is expected to open a permanent facility in mid-2027 at 13107 Campus Avenue in Ontario across the street from the Chino Auction between Riverside Drive and Chino Avenue Councilman Brian Johsz voted against the proposal stating that he wasn’t comfortable with the City of Ontario holding a 53 percent voting structure on the board of directors compared to 15 percent for Chino Hills Chino will have a 20 percent voting structure The percentage is based on the financial contributions made by each member agency towards ARC capital and operating costs “It’s a lot of money to spend to have one city with a majority,” Councilman Johsz said the city would pay $150,000 for the initial costs for land acquisition and the phase one design which amounts to $12,500 per year for 12 years The city would also pay $150,00 for a truck and horse trailer The total capital cost share would be $8.25 million Operating costs would be $900,000 per year and would be reduced by revenues collected from dog license fees and other fees or fines assessed for shelter operations The revenues will be pooled and allocated based on each agency’s membership percentage IVHS President/CEO Nikole Bresciani told the council her agency is more cost effective with 75 years of experience “We urge you to save taxpayer funds of $8.5 million and not contract with ARC,” she said I felt the meeting was just a formality as there was really no accountability to vetting out the estimated cost to joining ARC when every conversation we have had with city staff has been concerns about our cost to Chino Hills.” Bresciani noted that the majority of the council had wanted a seat on the board of directors at the IVHS “Absent our board being able to grant a seat I was confident the council would choose ARC because of its desire to have control of operations,” she said “This vote was not about lack of service or cost of the contract but a desire for control—and that control is coming at a premium price to the taxpayers.” The IVHS will look forward to remaining the city’s local humane society until July 1 ARC Executive Director Clinton Thacker responded “I don’t have a comment about my thoughts on the decision because we were just there to answer questions,” he said — The Anderson Union High School District is well known for its opposition of California's SAFETY act a law designed to protect LGBTQ students from being outed to their parents alongside the Chino Valley Unified School District argues that the act infringes on parental rights Anderson Union High School District filed a lawsuit against the state claiming the Safety Act violates parental rights by allowing students to conceal their sexual orientation or identity The case is currently pending a judge's decision according to lawyers from the Liberty Justice Center the Chino Valley Unified School District recently concluded a similar legal battle The state of California did not appeal a court decision that upheld Chino Valley's authority to notify parents when their children request changes to their official or unofficial records The Liberty Justice Center has declared a victory for parental rights although admitted that both sides of this legal battle had separate wins and losses senior legal counsel at Liberty Justice Center says "The win looks like Chino Valley being able to notify parents in a roundabout way but still being able to know about when their child changes their records and keeping parents involved in their children's lives." not everyone agrees with parent notification policies at school expressed concerns about the implications for teachers "There's so many moving parts to how do you force a teacher to do that," Stevens said "What disciplinary action happens to a teacher for not doing that The policy has to then include what happens to a teacher or staff member who doesn't follow that policy." The legal battle began in August 2023 when Attorney General Rob Bonta sued to prevent schools from forcibly outing students regarding pronoun and name changes the Superior Court of California required Chino Valley Unified School District to update its policy The revised policy maintains the district's requirement to notify parents within three days after a child's request for a record change but removed language that required staff to notify parents when a student uses a different name or facilities that differ from their sex at birth The court argued that this part of the policy violated the U.S Constitution's Equal Protection Clause and was discriminatory Chino Valley Unified School District will continue to use its revised parental notification policy the Anderson Union High School District's case with the Liberty Justice Center awaits a judge's decision We would like to thank Nilesh Patel for submitting incredible photos of his favorite San Bernardino County destination in Chino Hills and is located at 15100 Fairfield Ranch Rd Learn how to describe the purpose of the image (opens in a new tab) Leave empty if the image is purely decorative
