After Winning Recall Election, Newsom Says “Let’s Get Back to Work” Antonio Ray Harvey | California Black Media
It looks like Gov. Gavin Newsom will remain in the office he won in 2018 after he secured an insurmountable lead in votes counted so far in Tuesday’s gubernatorial recall election.
Several media outlets projected shortly before midnight Tuesday that the attempt to remove Newsom from office failed. About an hour after thanking Californians for keeping him in office,
www.rebuildingtogethersv.org
Newsom tweeted, “Now, let’s get back to work.” Larry Elder, a conservative Republican Los Angeles-based talk show host, who was the leading candidate vying to remove Newsom from office conceded the race.

media included the following: Kevin Mullin (D-San Mateo), Assembly Speaker pro Tem tweeted, “A $276 million waste just to reaffirm 2018’s results with an election coming in 2022. The CA recall process must be reformed including elevating the Lt. Guv in the event of a recall. But to avoid partisan power grabs the Governor/LG should be a ticket of the same party (like NY).” Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis wrote, “Thank you California for recognizing that @ GavinNewsom is exactly where he needs to be, in the Governor’s office! His commitment to the people of California is unwavering and I look forward to his continued leadership of our great state!” Rep. Karen Bass (DCA 37) tweeted, “Proud of our governor. Proud of our people. Proud of California.”
A total of 46 candidates were on the ballot to replace Newsom. “Let’s be gracious in defeat,” Elder said after the results started pouring in and it was obvious he had no chance of winning. “We may have lost the battle, but we are going to win the war.” According to preliminary results, just under 65% of the voters have said “no” to recalling Newsom in the special election that is estimated to have cost California taxpayers $276 million. With about 67 % of all votes counted so far, only a little over 35% voted yes on the recall. [Continued on Page 03] Reactions on social

On Thursday September 30th at 6:00pm, I will be joined by representatives from the Contractors State License Board, the California Department of Insurance, and the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation for a presentation and Q&A discussion that will cover a range of some of the most common scams targeting seniors and others. I will also discuss state legislation - including my own bill, SB 461, that has been signed into law - that
will combat this type of fraud. Join our “Consumer Scam Stopper” virtual town hall to learn about how to protect yourself or a loved one from being a victim of a scam. Register to attend the event at www.tinyurl.com/ SD15ScamStopper so that you are prepared to protect yourself and those around you. This Town Hall will be hosted through ZOOM.

Newsom told supporters, although Californians voted “no” to the recall, he wants to focus on all the things they were saying yes to by their votes. “‘No’ is not the only thing that was expressed tonight,” Newsom said. “I want to focus on what we said ‘yes’ to as a state. We said yes to science. We said yes to vaccines. We said yes to ending this pandemic. We said yes to people’s
right to vote without fear of fake fraud or voter suppression.” The gubernatorial recall was the fifth statewide vote Dr. Shirley Weber has overseen since she was appointed Secretary of State on Jan. 19. Throughout the process, Weber, a former Assemblymember who represented the 79th District in San Diego County, says she worked hard to make sure that voter fraud or the talk of fraud would not interfere
in the results of this election. “We worked hard to secure our elections. There’s no evidence of fraud or miscounting,” Weber said on CNN. “As Secretary of State, we’ve been even-handed in how we’ve handled every issue. I was sued by the governor as well as by others because of some of the decisions we made that were fair and just.” Weber’s office has 30 days to certify the recall election once all of the votes have been
counted. If there are any discrepancies, Weber said those issues will be addressed. “I like to say to those that continue to challenge this issue of fairness and so forth, I always say, ‘where’s the evidence?’” Weber said. “We are willing to accept the evidence as it is not just to simply open-ended allegations of fraud and deceptions. Those things are easy to say. But we have yet to get evidence of fraud and deception.”

Hundreds of Santa Clara County volunteers to join the 37th California Coastal Cleanup on September 18, 2021 SAN JOSE - The 37th Annual California Coastal Cleanup Day will return to in-person gatherings at sites in Santa Clara County this Saturday, September 18. On this day, Californians will take to streets, parks, creeks, streams, rivers, and the coast from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. to help prevent singleuse plastic items and other litter from polluting our environment and flowing into the ocean. Volunteers can choose to stay close to home and
clean up around their neighborhood or local natural areas or join a small group of volunteers at one of the organized cleanup sites throughout the county. Last year during Coastal Cleanup month, Santa Clara County volunteers participated in socially distanced cleanups and picked up over 47,000 pounds of trash from neighborhoods and creeks. Statewide, some 17,000 volunteers removed over 150,000
pounds of trash. Since 1985, more than 1.6 million volunteers have removed over 26 million pounds of trash. Valley Water continues to encourage volunteers to recognize Coastal Cleanup Day by cleaning up wherever they are, whenever they can. Trash on our streets and in local creeks and parks can quickly become ocean pollution once the rains arrive and wash that trash into stormwater systems and ultimately out to the

County of Santa Clara Increases Resources to Help Families Fleeing Afghanistan Santa Clara County is expected to receive approximately 300 refugees in the next 12 months SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIF.— The County of Santa Clara is preparing to assist about 300 refugees in the coming months, many of whom are fleeing political turmoil in Afghanistan after the country was taken over by the Taliban last month. On Tuesday, the County
Susan Ellenberg. “As a County, it has always been part of our core values to be a place of refuge for those in need and this is absolutely a moment when we can and should be reinforcing that mission.” Supervisor Otto Lee, who is a retired U.S. Navy commander and served
whatever assistance they need to seek safety for themselves and their families.” The measure approved on Tuesday authorizes to use up to $750,000 in one-time funding, along with annual contract increases from $185,000 to $250,000 for each of two refugee service
Board of Supervisors approved a measure asking the administration to find additional funding to provide resettlement assistance that covers housing, food, employment, and transportation needs for newly arriving refugees. “These services forge a critical lifeline for arriving families and will provide support and care during an extraordinarily traumatic and unsettling time,” said Supervisor
as the chief of Drawdown Material Policies in Iraq in 2009, called it heart wrenching to witness the chaos in Afghanistan. “Many of these refugees are Afghans who served the American military as translators,” said Supervisor Lee. “Despite the risk of persecution, they supported American military interests. During this time of crisis, we must step up and respond urgently to provide
providers: the Jewish Family Services of Silicon Valley (JFS SV) and the International Rescue Committee (IRC). The funding will help meet the higher demand for services. Approximately 300 refugees are expected to arrive in the next 12 months, compared to about 50 refugees who resettled in Santa Clara County over the past year. “Santa Clara County has served as a resettlement location for
other communities fleeing persecution and danger,” said Miguel Márquez, Chief Operating Officer of the County of Santa Clara. “Coming together to help others during their most trying time is one of our greatest strengths as a community. This is who we are; this is where our diversity and cultural richness comes from.” In Santa Clara County, about 50,000 residents (or one out of every 40) are refugees who have relied on local resettlement services. Shukran Nazari is one of those refugees. After working for almost a decade for the U.S. Army and the American embassy in Afghanistan, 27-yearold Nazari left his home country in 2016 to escape threats made against his life. He arrived in Santa Clara County with his wife and two small children – and nothing more than a suitcase of clothing. While relieved to find safe harbor, he quickly realized they did not have even a single kitchen utensil to eat a meal, or diapers for his 3-month-old son. “We had nothing.
Everything was new for us and there was no one to navigate us. We had to pay out of pocket when my 3-month-old son got sick because we did not have health insurance,” Nazari said. “Housing needs, kitchen supplies, blankets, serving dishes – we appreciated everything that was given to us. It is a blessing to be here; we thank God and the people who have helped us.” With the help of resettlement services from JFS SV, he was able to build a life for his family without the daily fear of persecution. But, Nazari says, the chaos in Afghanistan remains on his mind every minute of each day. He described a family member’s house in Afghanistan, recently sprayed with bullets by the Taliban. His relatives remain in hiding and are safe – for now. “No one over there is safe. Not my family, not anyone else’s family,” Nazari said. “People who are being evacuated from Afghanistan need every single thing, including diapers, clothes, kitchen supplies. Please, whatever you can do, try to help.”

(Comfortable seating, space for distancing, gorgeous acoustics). Works by J.S. Bach, Jaco Wong, John Christopher Wineglass and João Luiz Rezende. Emmy-award winning composer John Christopher Wineglass’ work Alone Together is the composers’ response to the social issues we have all been facing during the pandemic, ranging from not being able to perform together to systemic racial disparities. Cocommissioned by the San José Chamber Orchestra, Fresno Philharmonic, Pacific and Monterey Symphonies, this will be the Northern California premiere. Wineglass is currently Composer-inResidence with The Monterey Symphony. Young Bay Area composer Jaco Wong’s somewhat metaphysical take on the function of time during quarantine,
September 18, 2021 Page 5 Olēka, commissioned by SJCO, receives its World Premiere performance. Olēka — (n.) the awareness of how few days are memorable. As daily routines get more mundane during quarantine, our perception of time warps and becomes hopelessly inaccurate. An idea derived from the Holiday Paradox: individual days may feel unbearably long, yet the entire year seemed to have drifted away quickly without any of us noticing. The evening’s performance concludes with the West Coast premiere of João Luiz Rezende’s harp concerto Recife an homage to the rhythms, dancers, and musicians from Recife in Brazil marrying elements of Baroque structure ‘with Brazilian elements’ and features harpist Bridget Kibbey. Orlando Sentinel writer Matthew J. Palm offered this description from the premiere performance; ”The concerto bursts with drama. When Kibbey raps on her harp’s frame, complementing the other percussive elements, it seems as though some unknown force is knocking on the door; you don’t know what’s waiting there, but you’re eager to find out.” Called the “Yo-Yo Ma of the harp,” by Vogue Senior Editor Corey Seymour, Bridget Kibbey is in demand for her innovative, virtuosic performances that expand the expressive range of the harp. Collaborating
with some of today’s top artists, she crosses genres to emphasize the harp’s role through centuries and cultures of music. Photo of Bridget Kibbey courtesy of the artist. About San José Chamber Orchestra The San José Chamber Orchestra, a professional string-based ensemble of 19+ players, presents a series of 7–9 programs per season.

Mosquito treatments pose minimal risk to people, pets, animals, and the environment when applied by a licensed vector control professional following label instructions. Those who would like to take extra precautions can keep family and pets inside during the treatment, with windows and doors shut during the duration of the control treatment (approximately three hours). By sunrise, the insecticide will quickly break down with the sunlight. Since the District applies insecticides at the Ultra-Low Volume (ULV), individuals aren’t likely to breathe or touch anything that has enough insecticide on it to be harmful. Those with chemical sensitivities may want to consult their physicians for additional recommendations. All control materials utilized in our mosquito control program are approved by the Federal and State Environmental Protection Agencies and are widely used by Vector Control agencies throughout California.

For information on West Nile virus activity in California, please visit www.westnile.ca.gov. Health Effects of West Nile Virus Since the arrival of West Nile virus to California in 2003, 7,360 people across the State have contracted the disease; 339 of those cases were fatal. In 2020, there was one human WNV related fatality; 2015 was a record year for fatalities in the state with 55 deaths. WNV infection does not cause symptoms in most people; however, for some individuals it can cause fever, headache, body aches and, in severe cases, significant neurological damage or death. Adults older than 50 years and individuals with certain chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, and kidney disease are most at risk for serious complications. The District has a dedicated team that inspects locations throughout the county for mosquito breeding, searches for new sources, and eliminates any immature stages of mosquitoes.

Positive West Nile Virus Mosquitoes Found in Portions of Palo Alto and Mountain View [Continued from Page 07] The public can also assist in preventing the spread of West Nile virus by taking the following prevention measures. On your property: • Dump or drain standing water weekly. Mosquitoes need stagnant water to lay their eggs and spend three out of four life stages in water. • Drain, remove, or turn over anything that can hold water, such as flowerpots, planter bases, bird baths, toys, cans, rain gutters, pet dishes, buckets, and old tires. Fix leaky water faucets and sprinklers. For more information on
