Los Angeles residents are panicking over copper wire thieves knocking out their phone service and leaving them with the bill. Over the last few months, Hacienda Heights neighbors have lost most of their landline services after thieves have been tampering with utility poles and other parts of the city infrastructure. Seventy-nine-year-old Michael Weiner told the Los Angeles Times that he's still been receiving bills from his phone company, Frontier Communications, despite not being able to get a dial tone for six months. Moreover, he and his neighbors haven't been receiving updates on repairs.

The pastors will examine the delicate balance between liberty and responsibility, illustrating how true Christian freedom empowers believers to live out their faith with joy and purpose. Additionally, they will reflect on how this freedom shapes our daily lives, influencing our decisions, relationships, and overall perspective on life.  The Rev. William Cwirla, pastor of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Hacienda Heights, CA, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to discuss the concept of Christian freedom. 

Today we have Hacienda Heights, California's own, comedian Bert Hung. Having worn many hats in his life and reasonable newer to stand up, Bert tells me all about growing up as the middle child to immigrant parents and not really fitting in so great with American culture nor Asian “fobby” culture either. Growing up there was tennis and Chinese chess, but also Ren and Stimpy and South Park and eventually he discovered Russell Peters, as well as someone who's influenced pretty much everyone speaking into a microphone on a podcast. Of course that's the one and only Joe Rogan. instagram.com/berthungcomedy/, instagram.com/peoplewelovepodcast, instagram.com/adamchoit, twitter.com/adamchoit, peoplewelovepodcast.com

In this episode, we discuss how myths of suburbia, the American West, and the American Dream informed regional planning, suburban design, and ideas about race and belonging in California's East San Gabriel Valley as found in James Zarsadiaz's debut monograph Resisting Change in Suburbia: Asian Immigrants and Frontier Nostalgia in L.A. Published by the University of California Press in October 2022, Resisting Change in Suburbia recently won the Organization of American Historians' Lawrence W. Levine Award, which is an honor acknowledging the year's best book in American cultural history. Throughout the six chapters, Zarsadiaz illustrates the demographic transitions of the suburbs making up the East San Gabriel Valley from the 1960s through the 1990s and how these communities, despite racial and class differences, sought to protect their connections to a perceived ideal of country living away from LA's ever-expanding metropolitan center. Zarsadiaz constructs the region's history of settlement, quite literally, from the ground up by taking us through the development of master plans neighborhoods emulating a rural suburban American experience such as Phillips Ranch and Rowland Heights, to the regulations on architectural aesthetics following the arrival of Asian residents found in Chino Hills and Walnut, to the dueling narratives of whether to incorporate or not incorporate found in Hacienda Heights and Diamond Bar. In short, Resisting Change in Suburbia “serves a window into the mindset, perspectives, and lives of typically upwardly mobile suburbanites” (15) of the East San Gabriel Valley and how the suburbs they lived in “grappled with spatial, demographic, and political change in the late 20th and early 21st centuries” (4-5).

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - Pope Francis is exhibiting “marked improvement” after being admitted to the hospital on Wednesday with difficulty breathing, which was later diagnosed as bronchitis. On Friday, the Vatican said that Pope Francis may be discharged from the hospital on Saturday after responding well to treatments yesterday and sharing a pizza dinner with those assisting him. “Pope Francis spent the afternoon at [Gemelli Hospital] devoting himself to rest, prayer, and some work duties,” Holy See Press Office Director Matteo Bruni told reporters Thursday evening. “As part of scheduled clinical checks, the Holy Father was found to have a bronchitis infection that required the administration of antibiotic therapy through infusion, which produced the expected effects with a marked improvement in his state of health. Based on the expected course, the Holy Father could be discharged in the coming days.” This update comes after Bruni said mid-Thursday that the pope “rested well overnight” and that “the clinical picture is progressively improving.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253988/pope-francis-has-bronchitis-but-is-resting-and-improving-vatican-says https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253992/vatican-pope-francis-had-pizza-dinner-may-leave-hospital-tomorrow The US and Canadian bishops released statements Thursday praising the Vatican's repudiation of the “doctrine of discovery,” which has been used in the past to justify European colonialism in the Americas and throughout the world. The doctrine of discovery is a philosophical, political, and legal theory that posits that European colonizers have the right to expropriate indigenous lands and property. The theory has been said to have its origin in certain 15th-century papal bulls including Dum Diversas, Romanus Pontifex, and Inter Caetera, and has been invoked by many, including the US Supreme Court in the 1823 case Johnson v McIntosh. On Thursday, a joint statement of the Vatican's Dicasteries for Culture and Education and for Promoting Integral Human Development formally denounced the doctrine of discovery, saying it “is not part of the teaching of the Catholic Church” and that the Church “repudiates those concepts that fail to recognize the inherent human rights of indigenous peoples.” Both the US and Canadian bishops echoed the Vatican's sentiment expressed in the joint dicastery statement, saying though the Church has defended the rights of the weak and poor throughout history, “many Christians have committed evil acts against Indigenous peoples for which recent popes have asked forgiveness on numerous occasions.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253987/us-and-canadian-bishops-join-vatican-s-condemnation-of-colonialist-doctrine-of-discovery An empty tabernacle that was bolted to the wall has been stolen from the residence of the late Los Angeles Auxiliary Bishop David O'Connell, who was murdered in his Hacienda Heights, California, home in February. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253985/tabernacle-stolen-from-murdered-bishop-david-o-connell-s-residence Today the Church celebrates Blessed Jane of Toulouse, a 13th-century French woman known for her chastity and service to the poor, and who is considered to be the first member of the Carmelites' third order, which is open to laypeople. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/bl-jane-of-toulouse-193

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - Thousands gathered Friday for the funeral of slain Los Angeles Auxiliary Bishop David O'Connell, who was remembered as “a friend of Jesus Christ” and the poor. Archbishop José Gomez presided over the funeral Mass, held at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles. Speaking briefly at the conclusion of the liturgy, Gomez said “Bishop Dave,” as O'Connell was affectionately known, would be sorely missed, but “we know that he's in heaven.” O'Connell, 69, a popular Irish-born priest who worked on myriad social causes in South LA for the past 45 years, died February 18 after being shot multiple times in his Hacienda Heights home, according to District Attorney George Gascón. Carlos Medina, the husband of O'Connell's housekeeper, has admitted to murdering the bishop, Gascón said in a February 22 press conference. Earlier in the week, both Pope Francis and President Joe Biden issued condolences to O'Connell's family and all those grieving his death. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253792/we-know-that-he-s-in-heaven-thousands-gather-for-funeral-of-bishop-david-o-connell-in-los-angeles Dozens of people reportedly were murdered in post-election attacks on villages in Nigeria's Benue State Wednesday, according to a diocesan official. During the attacks, Fulani men armed with military gear descended on the Benue State capital, Makurdi, the official said. International observers are linking the attacks to the outcome of the recently announced presidential results of Nigeria's general elections, in which an all-Muslim presidential ticket was declared the winner. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253794/wave-of-murders-after-elections-in-nigeria-forces-catholic-diocese-staff-to-evacuate The pontifical foundation Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) expressed its concern for the situation of the Catholic Church in Nicaragua and for Bishop Rolando Álvarez, who was sentenced on February 9 to 26 years and four months in prison by the Daniel Ortega dictatorship. One of the latest low points in the Nicaraguan dictatorship's persecution of the Church was the recent sentencing of Álvarez to 26 years and four months in prison as a “traitor to the homeland” convicted of “undermining national security and sovereignty” and “spreading fake news.” The bishop was also stripped of his Nicaraguan citizenship. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253788/aid-to-the-church-in-need-greatly-concerned-about-nicaraguan-bishop-sentenced-to-prison Today, the Church celebrates Saint Colette, the founder of the Colettine Poor Clares (Clarisses). https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-colette-413

It's Friday, February 24th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. By Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com) Iran pardons two imprisoned Christian converts The Iranian government has pardoned and released two imprisoned Christian converts this past week as a part of the annual tradition of pardoning prisoners during the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran. After spending a year in prison, Hadi Rahimi was released on February 20th. And fellow church member Saheb Fadaie was released on February 9th after spending five years in prison. Both men were imprisoned on charges of “acting against national security by organizing house-churches and promoting ‘Zionist' Christianity.” And both men had been held in Iran's notorious Evin Prison, where many Christians have been imprisoned over the years. As converts to Christianity from Islam, they are not recognized as Christians and have no freedom or protection in worship according to their Christian faith. Many of these Christians face charges related to practicing their faith. They are accused of “propaganda against the state through proselytizing Christianity” or “acting against national security by conducting evangelistic activities.” The new-found freedom of these two Christian prisoners means that our prayers have been answered.  Keep praying that other Iranian Christian prisoners will be released as well. In Isaiah 61:1, the prophet foretold a time when God would “bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners.” New state poll puts DeSantis ahead of Trump A new poll out of Michigan shows Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis garnering more support over former President Donald Trump in a head-to-head matchup. Among Republican voters, 47 percent favor the governor and 42 percent chose Trump with 11 percent undecided, according to the Echelon Insights Poll. When broken down by gender, 43% of Republican women in Michigan support Trump, compared to 40% who favor DeSantis.  And 51% of Republican men say they back DeSantis, while 41% say they support Trump. Trump won Michigan in 2016 against Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, but lost it to President Joe Biden in 2020. Biden DOJ charges 8 more pro-life activists with violating the FACE Act The U.S. Department of Justice has announced charges against eight pro-life activists for allegedly violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, also known as the FACE Act, reports LifeSiteNews.com. According to a press release issued by the DOJ Wednesday, Calvin Zastrow, Chester Gallagher, Heather Idoni, Caroline Davis, Joel Curry, Justin Phillips, Eva Edl, and Eva Zastrow apparently blocked the entrance of an abortion mill in Sterling Heights, Michigan on August 27, 2020.  The FACE Act, which was signed into law by Democrat President Bill Clinton in 1994, makes it a crime to intimidate or physically prevent the coming and going of persons seeking the services of abortion mills. The indictment comes just weeks after Mark Houck was found not guilty of violating the Act. Houck, a father of seven, gained nationwide fame after the FBI raided his house with guns drawn while his wife and children were present, all because he defended his son from a vulgar pro-abortion so-called “escort” outside a facility in Philadelphia. Conservatives denounced the agency's behavior, which many said reflected a blatant targeting of pro-lifers under the Biden regime. Pro-life Catholic bishop shot to death A Catholic bishop was fatally shot in Los Angeles on February 18th, reports KTLA. Bishop David O'Connell, the 69-year-old auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, was found shot to death before 1 p.m. in his Hacienda Heights home. He was frequently involved in the pro-life movement, repeatedly leading prayers vigils and processions in front of Planned Parenthood abortion mills in California.  On Monday, Carlos Medina, the 65-year-old husband of O'Connell's housekeeper, was arrested.  He claimed Bishop O'Connell owed him money. “Jesus Revolution” movie portrays revival and Greg Laurie's love story And finally, the love story of Pastor Greg Laurie and his wife, Cathe, is depicted in the new film “Jesus Revolution.”  And now, 50 years later, Cathe is reflecting on the long-lasting love that she encountered with both Jesus and her husband back during the spiritual awakening that swept Southern California in the late 1960s and early 1970s.   HIPPIE: “There is an entire generation searching, just in all the wrong places. And if you want to reach my people, you need to speak to them in a language they understand. CHUCK SMITH: “If I bring them in, I'll lose my job.” HIPPIE: “We can only walk through doors open to us, and your church, that's a door that's shut.” Cathe Laurie sat down for a video interview about the movie Jesus Revolution with The Christian Post. LAURIE: “I think I represent that generation. We were so young. Most of the people that were packing into Calvary Chapel in those days would be my age 15, 16, 17 years old. “It shows what God can do when He breaks through to a generation. It was not organized. It was not orchestrated by a particular parachurch group. It was not organized by a particular church. It was a spontaneous intervention, I believe, of the Holy Spirit into a generation that was lost and searching.” In a candid moment, the wife of Pastor Greg Laurie said the idea of her love story being depicted on the silver screen was scary. LAURIE: “To have our young lives depicted in a major motion picture like this is really quite surprising for me. I will be totally honest with you. I was a little terrified by the idea of it in the beginning stages. “When John Erwin was interviewing Greg and myself, he just wanted to know, as people who lived through this revival, what it was like.” The late Pastor Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel, portrayed by Kelsey Grammer of Frasier and Cheers fame, took Mark 16:15 to heart. “Go into all the world and proclaim the Gospel to the whole creation.” Watch the trailer of Jesus Revolution through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.   And get tickets through a separate link as it opens nationwide tonight.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - Carlos Medina, the suspect in the murder of Los Angeles Auxiliary Bishop David O'Connell, was arraigned in state court Wednesday and formally charged with one count of murder and a special allegation that he personally used a firearm. O'Connell was found dead with “at least” one gunshot wound to his upper body on February 18 in his bedroom at his Hacienda Heights home, Los Angeles Sheriff Robert Luna said in a Monday press conference. News of O'Connell's death shocked the nation and rocked the local and international Catholic community. Offering remarks at Monday's press conference, Los Angeles Archbishop José Gomez broke into tears and struggled to complete his brief comments on Bishop O'Connell. “Out of his love for God, he served this city for more than 40 years,” Gomez said. “Every day he worked to show compassion to the poor, to the homeless, to the immigrant, and to all those living on society's margins. He was a good priest and a good bishop and a man of peace, and we are very sad to lose him,” Gomez said. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253716/housekeeper-s-husband-officially-charged-in-murder-of-la-auxiliary-bishop-o-connell Today, the Church celebrates Saint Polycarp of Smyrna, a disciple of the apostle and evangelist St. John. Polycarp is celebrated on the same date by Eastern Orthodox Christians, who also honor him as a Saint. According to tradition, Polycarp was martyred by Roman authorities by being stabbed to death, but only after no flames touched his body during an attempt to burn him alive. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-polycarp-of-smyrna-156

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=7327VESCOVO CONDANNATO A 26 ANNI DI CARCERE DALLA DITTATURA COMUNISTA DI ORTEGA IN NICARAGUA di Mauro FaverzaniDrammatici sviluppi nella vicenda, che vede come involontario protagonista il vescovo di Matagalpa, mons. Rolando Álvarez Lagos, vittima della dittatura comunista imposta in Nicaragua da Daniel Ortega sin dal suo ritorno al potere, nel 2007, dopo aver fatto imprigionare la maggior parte dei suoi rivali in corsa per la presidenza.Mons. Álvarez è stato condannato a 26 anni e 4 mesi di carcere effettivo (già tenendo conto degli sconti previsti in successione), ad una sanzione equivalente a circa 1.550 dollari, nonché all'interdizione a vita dalle cariche pubbliche, alla perdita perpetua dei diritti di cittadinanza, con una sentenza-lampo, emessa con largo anticipo rispetto ai tempi previsti per il processo, in un primo tempo fissato in realtà per questo 15 febbraio. L'inverosimile accusa, servita come pretesto per la condanna al giudice Héctor Ernesto Ochoa Andino, presidente della Camera Penale 1 della Corte d'Appello di Managua, è addirittura quella di «tradimento della Patria, compromissione dell'integrità nazionale, propagazione di notizie false attraverso la tecnologia dell'informazione, ostruzione delle funzioni, disobbedienza aggravata o disprezzo per l'autorità, tutti commessi in reale concorrenza e a danno della società e dello Stato della Repubblica». Perché? Semplicemente perché mons. Álvarez si è rifiutato di lasciare il Paese e di salire sull'aereo con cui, il giorno prima della sentenza, il regime aveva deportato negli Stati Uniti ben 222 prigionieri politici.Sempre con l'insostenibile accusa di «tradimento» e di diffusione di notizie false il mese scorso sono stati condannati a dieci anni di carcere anche quanti si trovavano col vescovo al momento dell'arresto, avvenuto lo scorso agosto, e quindi quattro sacerdoti, due seminaristi ed un cameraman. Ma in carcere sono finiti anche altri sette sacerdoti e due collaboratori della Diocesi di mons. Álvarez.Stando a questa sentenza, il vescovo Álvarez dovrà restare in galera fino al 13 aprile 2049. A nulla è valso il sostegno giunto nei giorni scorsi al clero ed ai prelati nicaraguensi, a nome dei vescovi europei, dal card. Jean-Claude Hollerich, presidente della Comece, la Commissione delle Conferenze episcopali dell'Unione europea. Il card. Hollerich, in una lettera indirizzata al vescovo di Jinotega, mons. Carlos Enrique Herrera Gutiérrez, presidente della Conferenza episcopale nicaraguense, ha chiesto l'immediato rilascio dei molti, troppi sacerdoti rinchiusi dietro le sbarre solo per la loro opposizione ad un governo comunista sempre più autoritario, citando espressamente, tra questi, mons. Álvarez. Nella missiva, il card. Hollerich ha dichiarato che i recenti eventi, «tra cui la chiusura delle stazioni radio cattoliche, il blocco dell'accesso alle chiese da parte della Polizia ed altri gravi atti, che turbano la libertà religiosa ed il giusto ordine sociale, mostrano l'aggravarsi di una situazione iniziata anni fa. In mezzo a circostanze così avverse, le testimonianze di impegno nella fede nel Vangelo e nel bene sociale comune della nostra amata Chiesa in Nicaragua sono ammirevoli e non passano inosservate», costituendo anzi «un esempio vivo e un modello da seguire in tante altre situazioni di persecuzione, che purtroppo si stanno moltiplicando in varie parti del mondo». Il card. Hollerich ha infine promesso che la Comece farà tutto quanto in suo potere «con le istituzioni europee per il rilascio» di mons. Álvarez e «per promuovere la libertà, lo stato di diritto, la giustizia e la democrazia» nel Paese.Va ricordato che l'anno scorso il governo comunista ha espulso dal Nicaragua l'ambasciatore del Vaticano, l'arcivescovo Waldemar Stanislaw Sommertag, e 18 Suore Missionarie della Carità. Sono stati bloccati anche i pellegrinaggi e le processioni in tutto il Paese. Stando all'avvocato e ricercatrice nicaraguense Martha Patricia Molina, dal novembre 2018 ad oggi la Chiesa cattolica in Nicaragua ha subìto circa 400 attacchi da parte del regime tra pestaggi, arresti, diffamazioni, esilio e minacce. Dura la condanna dell'accaduto, pubblicata anche dall'agenzia InfoCatólica, secondo cui, con questo nuovo atto, la dittatura di Ortega si starebbe «spingendo sempre più in là nella sua follia e nel suo totalitarismo» con una condanna, che rappresenterebbe solo «una delle sue ultime azioni contro il popolo nicaraguense e contro il Cristianesimo».Nota di BastaBugie: Nicola Scopelliti nell'articolo seguente dal titolo "Il vescovo ucciso a Los Angeles aveva un'arma segreta: Maria" parla di Mons. David O'Connell che è stato trovato morto con un colpo d'arma da fuoco a Los Angeles, città dove il presule irlandese era vescovo ausiliare. Affidava alla protezione della Madonna di Guadalupe il suo impegno per evangelizzare e strappare i giovani alla violenza e alle bande criminali.Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana il 21 febbraio 2023:«Non ho parole per esprimere il mio dolore. Che la misericordia di Dio scenda su chi ha ucciso mons. O'Connell». È quanto ha dichiarato José Horacio Gomez, arcivescovo metropolita di Los Angeles, dopo aver appreso la notizia della morte violenta del suo ausiliare, il vescovo David O'Connell, avvenuta a Hacienda Heights, poco dopo le tredici di sabato scorso.L'arcivescovo è stato contattato dall'Ufficio dello Sceriffo della contea di Los Angeles, dopo che il corpo di mons. O' Connell era stato rinvenuto in un'abitazione, al civico 1500 di Janlu Avenue. Agli agenti era pervenuta una telefonata anonima, che indicava il luogo con "il cadavere di un sacerdote cattolico". «Come prete prima e come vescovo poi, David è stato un uomo di profonda fede, un uomo che portava la pace, che aveva a cuore i poveri e gli immigrati e una grande passione per la comunità», ha commentato l'arcivescovo Gomez.Mons. David O'Connell era il vicario episcopale per la regione pastorale di San Gabriele, una delle cinque dell'arcidiocesi di Los Angeles. Era stato papa Francesco, nel 2015, a chiamarlo all'episcopato e a nominarlo vescovo titolare di Cell Ausaille e ausiliare di Los Angeles. «Non me lo aspettavo, non credevo di avere il profilo per una simile posizione - aveva dichiarato appena gli era stata comunicata la notizia della sua nomina a vescovo -. Ma poi ho ricordato che Papa Francesco sceglie i "pastori" che siano parte attiva delle loro comunità, e allora ho pensato che forse mi avesse scelto proprio per questo».O'Connell era nato nel 1953 in Irlanda, aveva studiato a Dublino e dal 1979 faceva parte dell'arcidiocesi di Los Angeles, dove era stato sacerdote in varie parrocchie e dove era diventato membro del gruppo interdiocesano per l'assistenza all'immigrazione della California del Sud, dove garantiva il coordinamento dell'azione della Chiesa a favore delle famiglie provenienti dal Centro-America.A Los Angeles ci sono cinque milioni di cattolici e trecento parrocchie. La domenica, le chiese sono affollate ovunque, sia quelle delle zone meno abbienti, che nei quartieri più ricchi. Il vescovo O'Connell era noto e molto amato per il suo infaticabile lavoro a favore dei migranti, e in particolare dei bambini, ne favoriva l'iscrizione a scuola e molti lo ripagavano, non solo diplomandosi, ma continuando gli studi fino alla laurea. «Esistono comunque dei problemi - aveva detto nel corso di un'intervista rilasciata al periodico KeKaKo, rivista della Koinonia Giovanni Battista, nel marzo del 2020 - l'età media dei parrocchiani sta aumentando. Ci sono tante persone che hanno ormai superato i 50 anni. Abbiamo oltre cinquantamila bambini che hanno ricevuto la comunione, dopo due anni di catechismo, ma 25mila di quelli che hanno ricevuto la cresima, si sono allontanati dalla Chiesa, crescendo in famiglie che non coltivano la fede».L'impegno pastorale prevalente di mons. O'Connell era tra la gente. Tra i giovani, in particolare. Aveva deciso di annunciare il Vangelo utilizzando, come la definiva lui, un'arma segreta: fare evangelizzazione sotto la protezione di Nostra Signora di Guadalupe. Voleva allontanare i ragazzi dalle bande giovanili violente, incontrando, però, tanti ostacoli, ma ottenendo anche dei risultati. «Tanti ragazzi ora frequentano le scuole e anche le parrocchie. È un cammino lungo e tortuoso», sottolineava. Ed è proprio in questi ambienti di Los Angeles che gli agenti dell'Ufficio dello sceriffo hanno concentrato le loro indagini. Gli investigatori non hanno fornito dettagli, né spiegato se il vescovo fosse il bersaglio dell'assassino. «Non possiamo lasciare che i giovani vengano "catturati" dalle bande - diceva - è compito dei pastori aiutarli con tutti i mezzi, affinché intraprendano strade alternative che li riconducano sulla retta via. È questa la nostra sfida».

Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - A suspect has been arrested in connection with the February 18 shooting homicide of Los Angeles Auxiliary Bishop David O'Connell, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department (LASD) said Monday. In a press conference Monday, Los Angeles Sheriff Robert Luna announced that charges would be brought against 65-year-old Carlos Medina, the husband of O'Connell's housekeeper. Prior to the arrest, there was a standoff between the subject and law enforcement in the city of Torrance, about a 45-minute drive southwest from Hacienda Heights, where O'Connell was found dead. Police discovered O'Connell with “at least” one gunshot wound to his upper body while in his bedroom, Luna said. Luna said there was no evidence of a “forced entry” or “burglary” and added that no firearm was found at the scene. A native of Ireland, O'Connell was named a bishop by Pope Francis in 2015. He ministered to immigrants, the poor, and victims of gang violence for 45 years in the South Los Angeles area. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253690/breaking-arrest-made-in-murder-of-bishop-david-o-connell Wisconsin voters are set to head to the polls today to vote for a new state Supreme Court justice in a nonpartisan primary. Though turnout in Wisconsin judicial elections is generally low, pro-life advocates say this election will play a major role in determining whether unborn children will continue to receive protection in Wisconsin, a state that currently has a near-total ban on abortion in place. Pro-choice groups within and outside Wisconsin have identified the state Supreme Court race as a key one in their attempts to get the state's abortion ban overturned. Wisconsin's governor and Attorney General announced a lawsuit last year to attempt to overturn the law, arguing that it has been superseded by subsequent legislation and cannot be enforced. Pro-life advocates worry that should the state Supreme Court obtain a pro-choice majority, the state's pre-Roe ban could be thrown out, as happened last year in neighboring Michigan. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253691/wisconsin-judicial-elections-could-affect-future-of-state-abortion-ban-pro-lifers-say Today, the Church celebrates Saint Peter Damian, a Benedictine monk who strove to purify the Church during the early years of its second millennium. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-peter-damian-154 The Church also celebrates Saint Robert Southwell, SJ an English Roman Catholic Jesuit priest and one of the 40 martyrs of England & Wales murdered during the English anti-Catholic Reformation. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-robert-southwell-739

It's mid-December, and that means it's time for our annual end-of-the-year SGV Connect Podcast featuring not just Damien Newton and Chris Greenspon, but also Streetsblog LA Editor Joe Linton and Streetsblog California Editor Melanie Curry. After that, we have one last interview by Chris with John Axtell published a literary zine this year about the landscape and culture of the SGV. John and Chris talk quite a bit about open spaces, and rebuilding the industrial wastelands around the 605. But first, Curry kicks off the podcast with a review of the legislation and other decisions made in Sacramento that have and will impact how the San Gabriel Valley grows and changes in the coming decades. In October she wrote an overview of some of the biggest pieces of legislation that the Governor signed (or didn't sign) and earlier this week she wrote a very early review of what could happen in the legislature in 2023. Next, Joe Linton discussed some of the changes that will be happening with the L.A. County Government and with Metro. The agency celebrated the restoration of service to pre-pandemic levels in the last month. New County Supervisors, and a new L.A. Mayor, signal that some other changes could be coming to the agency soon. Closing out the first portion of the podcast, Chris updates on the two biggest stories covered after he took over the beat from Kris Fortin: The Bus Rapid Transit concepts from the SGV Transit Feasibility Study and when County supervisors tossed out an activist appeal to slow construction on 85 condo units on a decommissioned school site in Hacienda Heights.

William Cwirla, pastor of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Hacienda Heights, California, join Andy and Sarah for a lively conversation about information gluttony, including how information accessibility has changed over the last 3-5 decades, how we consume information differently than previous generations, reflections on Brett McCracken's Wisdom Pyramid (which you can find at brettmccracken.com/blog/2017/8/3/the-wisdom-pyramid), and how we sift through what to consume from the internet and social media.

Daughter Skateboards is a brand based in Hacienda Heights, dedicated to helping young girls in the skate scene. Bobby Redline and Jesus Ramirez founded Daughter after their kids Draven and Aberdeen got them back into skating. Aberdeen Ramirez, her younger sister, and Draven Redline The brand will belong to the girls when they get older. Meeting with Bobby, Draven, and friends Jaelyn Rose Sedano and her father Joe, the kids radiate confidence, and their dads seem happy and at ease. The girls take after their fathers; Draven the chaotic troublemaker, and JRose the focused competitor. A funny pair of friends, body slamming each other and sharing junk food. Draven Redline showing off a Daughter deck at The Garage in East Los Bobby grew up in Hacienda Heights (and Norwalk) and is the main instigator, taking his friends’ kids to skateparks all over the state, and finding sketchy local spots to shoot clips at. He recalls spending many an afternoon ditching school and trekking up to the Jungle Bowl, a burnt out pool at the top of Turnbull Canyon where a fire destroyed some homes in the 80’s. He became a father early in life, and has a humble but mischievous spirit - still young at heart. His 12 year old Daughter Draven is a video game addict, a piercing fanatic, and a fire alarm puller. She bought her first skateboard with her own money, and can now skate vert. She goes everywhere in her Misfits sweater and trucker hat. Jaelyn Sedano sitting with her Daughter pro-model Joe Sedano is a lifelong skater and sports lover. He named his daughter after Jalen Rose, obviously. He encourages skating not just for fun, but also as a form of exercise and responsibility. JRose is top five in the state in her age group, says Joe. She’s gotten paid shoots and gets to hang with pros like Daewon Song (former La Puente resident!). 12 year old JRose comes off very studious about her craft of skating, but also shows interest in coding. She handles the interview with thoughtfulness and professionalism. But she’s not above soaking Draven with water when the opportunity arises. Unique and Julie Ann Mora and Darla Encinas The team has 6 members: Aberdeen Ramirez, Darla Encinas, Draven Redline, Jaelyn Sedano, and Unique and Julie Ann Mora. They’re mentored by their dads (inc. Chris Encinas and Julian Mora) and the mysterious Defacing Property Griptape. The girls table events like Exposure and give decks to little kids. Joe believes that the Daughters are becoming role models for the next generation of girls below them, and that it’s important to have people close to your age to look up to. Or hell, even some young kids to shame you into putting new bushings on your old deck. All photos courtesy of
