Modesto migrant shelter providing legal aid to kids 2 days after pressure from lawmaker

in Local Roundup

After an inquiry by California Rep. Josh Harder, a shelter for migrant children in Modesto is providing required legal services to the kids.

The shelter houses immigrant children facing legal proceedings over whether they can stay in the U.S. It opened about two months ago and reportedly did not provide legal services to the children until Wednesday night.

The Office of Refugee Resettlement, which contracts with local facilities to house the migrant children, is required by law to offer legal services for the children. The agency received $100 million for immigration-related services, including legal assistance for child migrants, from Congress earlier this year.

Does the rainbow flag have a place on city-owned flagpoles in Turlock?

in Local Roundup

Article from The Modesto Bee

Turlock officials have postponed a request to raise the rainbow flag on city property in support of LGBTQ+ people.

Supporters said the move would reinforce Turlock’s commitment to diversity in the wake of the Straight Pride event in Modesto last month.

“Just a simple flying of the flag would say so much,” resident Jeannie Robinson told the City Council on Tuesday evening.

The request would require a change to a policy, adopted in 2017, that limits what flags can fly, City Attorney Doug White said. Only the American, California and Turlock flags are generally allowed at city buildings and parks. Military flags can fly at Central Park, which has a war memorial, and at the Public Safety Facility.

California’s Trump-blocking environmental bill may be delayed in fight over water

in Local Roundup

It started out as a bold effort by the California Legislature to prevent the Trump administration from rolling back protections for the environment and labor.

The bill, proposed by one of the state’s most powerful Democrats, would attempt to negate every environmental regulation proposed by President Donald Trump’s administration for the duration of his term or terms. It has a clause that would expire the day he leaves office in 2025 if he wins a second term.

Now, in the waning days of the legislative year, the debate over Senate Bill 1 has become a classic fight over California water. Facing fierce lobbying from well-financed water districts, the bill’s author, Senate President Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, acknowledged Tuesday that the bill might get pulled from consideration until next year.

Four Nurse Practitioners Accused in Calif. Death Certificate Project

in Local Roundup

In addition to publicly calling out 64 physicians for overprescribing dangerous drugs, the California's Death Certificate Project has now threatened the licenses of four nurse practitioners for negligence after an investigation linked their prescribing to patients' fatal overdoses.

One of the accused, Sharon Anne Whittemore of San Bruno, was prompted to surrender her license after the board found she was grossly negligent and incompetent in her prescribing. In particular, she prescribed large quantities of oxycodone to a patient who was found dead in his home from an overdose one day after he filled her prescription.

The 50-year-old male, named "KP" in the California Board of Registered Nursing's accusation, had been admitted for spinal fusion therapy to the University of California San Francisco's Spine Clinic, where Whittemore worked. At discharge on May 11, 2012, he was given prescriptions for 200 oxycodone/acetaminophen tablets for pain and an undetermined amount of clonazepam for anxiety. On June 13, a few days before KP's scheduled follow-up appointment, he called and spoke to Whittemore, who wrote him another prescription for 360 oxycodone/acetaminophen tablets, an amount the board called an "excessive amount of oxycodone."

City Council approves more cannabis agreements

in Local Roundup

A second round of development agreements with participants in the cannabis pilot program were approved by the Turlock City Council on Tuesday, furthering the process for two out-of-town dispensaries that hope to set up shop on Golden State Boulevard.

Development agreements, used in conjunction with conditional use permits, allow for the regulation of cannabis businesses by determining the standards and conditions that will govern development of the property. In terms of cannabis, development agreements between local jurisdictions and commercial cannabis properties typically include a “public benefit” amount, designed and intended to offset or mitigate any potential impacts of the project on the community.

On Tuesday the Council approved two development agreements: one with Evergreen Market, a company based out of Washington and another with Perfect Union, which currently operates four stores in both Sacramento and Marysville.

Sac-area football teams fall to powers from out of area; did that affect Bee rankings?

in Local Roundup/Sports

The thing about rankings is losses to quality teams do not equate to despair, nor do they hurt a team’s status come Sac-Joaquin Section playoff time.

Strength of schedules matter for our Bee rankings and those from our friends at publications such as Cal-Hi Sports, MaxPreps, NorCalPreps and others.

Capital Christian remains No. 4 in these rankings because it lost to a team that very well might have beaten everyone in this region, a 24-6 setback to state-ranked power Vista Murrieta.

Rocklin lost to Damonte Ranch of Reno, a state power in the Silver State, and remains firm in our rankings. Whitney fell at Central Section No. 1-ranked Central of Fresno, so no shame there. Same with Placer falling in the final seconds to storied Cardinal Newman of Santa Rosa.
