FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK www.MontebelloReporter.com VOL. 7 NO.2 FEBRUARY 2021 WOMEN’S HEART HEALTH AWARENESS Like many women, you might consider breast cancer as your top health concern. However, you may not realize that there is an even bigger risk to your health: heart disease. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women, and it's surprisingly common. It impacts nearly 1 in 3 women during their lifetime, compared to 1 in 8 women who will get breast cancer. In honor of American Heart Month, Beverly Hospital is here to remind you the importance of knowing your risk and ways for you to take care of your heart. Some things can make you more likely than the average person to get heart disease, which sets the stage for heart attacks. For instance, your risk rises if you:

• Are 55 or older or postmenopausal. One reason is the decline in the hormone estrogen (which offers women some heart protection) that occurs after menopause. • Have high blood pressure. This damages the heart's arteries. In addition, women are more prone to heart disease if they had high blood pressure during pregnancy, a condition known as pre-eclampsia. • Have high cholesterol. Too much LDL(low-density lipoproteins) cholesterol in the blood can clog arteries in the heart, triggering a heart attack. • Have diabetes. Or if you have its precursor, prediabetes. • Have a family history of early heart disease. If your father or brother had a heart attack before age 55 or your mother or sister had one before age 65, your risk rises too. • Are overweight or obese. Extra weight is hard on the heart. • Make unhealthy lifestyle choices. These include eating unhealthy foods, smoking or not exercising.

POSSE FOUNDATION AWARDS SCHOLARSHIP TO SCHURR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT Andrew DeSevilla, a Senior at Schurr High School, was awarded a full tuition 4-year scholarship to attend the Universi- ty of Wisconsin at Madison from the Posse Foundation.

The Posse Foundation identifies, recruits, and trains incredible young leaders and sends them in Posses to top colleges and universities across the country. President Barack Obama donated a portion of his Nobel Prize money to the Posse Foun- dation in 2009. Andrew was one of forty students awarded the scholarship out of over 2,100 applicants this year.

“I am very thankful to my family and the Posse Foundation for this opportunity and all their support. I plan to major in Forest Science and look forward to experiencing Wisconsin’s natural environment and culture,” said Andrew DeSevilla.

He was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout as a result of a project to improve and revamp the garden at Montebello-Com- merce’s YMCA Preschool at Rosewood Elementary School.

Andrew overcame debilitating anxiety associated with a diag- nosis of Asperger’s Syndrome at a young age, and is currently gathering hours and the training needed to become a helicop- ter pilot.

At Schurr, Andrew DeSevilla has a 4.4 GPA, earned top scores on 5 Advanced Placement tests, and was elected to serve as his class’ President three times. He was nominated for the scholarship by his College Counselor, Mr. Baltazar Mejia.

Andrew is looking forward to studying Forest Science and Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin, along with the 9 other Posse scholarship winners from the Los Angeles area this fall.

“My entire extended family is extremely proud of Andrew. We come from humble beginnings, so to have someone in our family be so accomplished at this young age is astonishing. He has overcome obstacles, worked hard to give of himself to others, and learned many lessons along the way. We are grateful to all of Andrew’s teachers, counselors, scoutmasters, coaches, and peers who recognized his potential and provided him the opportunities, and patience, to thrive,” said Andrew’s mother, Bernadine DeSevilla.

MONTEBELLO REPORTER FEBRUARY 2021 Ask An Attorney 7 PROPOSITION 19 TAKES EFFECT ON FEBRUARY 16, 2021 Gia L Pacheco, Esq. The Law Offices of George B. Pacheco & Associates

On November 3, 2020 Californians voted in Proposition 19 which was titled as The Home Protection for Seniors, Severely Disabled, Families, and Victims of Wildfire or Natural Disasters Act. Many voters may not have realized that the effect of the passage dramatically alters the rules of inheri- tance. In summary, Prop 19 eliminates a person’s ability to leave their children and/or grandchildren real property at the purchased tax base. All property transferred to a beneficiary will be reassessed at its current fair market value, with one very small exception.

In order to understand the effect of Prop 19, you must have a little background on Proposition 13 which was passed by voters in 1978. Prop 13 amended the California Constitution for an owner’s primary residence and capped the tax rate at 1% of the assessed value of the property. Each county had variations. It also held that assessments were allowed to rise no more than 2% a year. While housing prices increased, the tax assessment rate stayed the same. In other words, real property would be reassessed in value only when there was a change of ownership that occurs by death, gift or sale. Over the years there have been certain modifica- tions. For example, the voters passed Proposition 58 in 1986 which excludes reassessment of property when they are transfers of real property from parents to children, and excludes from reassessment the first 1 million for any type of property, even commercial, transferred to children. The effect of Prop 13 has allowed for intergenerational tax breaks for families. Another modification allowed a person over 55 to sell and buy a new home and use the prop 13 tax cap.

Parent to Child Transfers

After February 16, 2021, an owner can only transfer a property subject to the Prop 13 tax rate for their primary home to a child. In addition, the child must occupy the property as their primary residence. If the real property value is more than $1 million the county assessor’s office can partially or fully reassess thus losing the tax benefit. Under Prop 19 an owner must file for homeowner’s exemption within one (1) year of transfer. The date of death of any person is considered the date of transfer.

Transfers by Persons at Least 55 or Disabled

Under the current law the only homeowners who benefit from a transfer of their taxable value from their current home to a new property are homeowners over 55 years of age or certain disabled persons if (1) the new property is in the same county AND (2) its value is less than or equal to the value of the old property.

The new law expands the category of those who will benefit from this tax break to include victims of wildfire or other natural disasters, regardless of age or disability. The home no longer has to be in the same county as the old home, but must stay within the state of California. One may purchase a higher value home, but the increase is added to the transferred taxable value of the prior home. This portion of the law is effective April 1, 2021.

We have yet to see the drastic effects of this law. The statue is currently being codified at press time. It is wise to consult with an experienced attorney to discuss the effects of this law on your real property transactions.

STATE-OF-THE-ART, 100% SOLAR BEAM EV ARC™ CHARGING STATIONS WILL POWER CITY HALL WITH FREE GREEN ENERGY TECHNOLOGY In an effort to advance its green power resources, the City of Montebello has purchased and deployed two 100% self-sustaining Beam EV ARC™ charging units located at City Hall. These units provide no-cost charging service to the City’s electric transit vans and future EVs as Montebello contin- ues to electrify its service fleet and improve sustainability efforts. In times of need, each unit houses an emergen- cy power panel and is transportable so that they can be easily re-positioned to serve back-up power needs in the event of emergencies. These units use automated solar panels to make and store their own electricity, providing a versatile platform that required no infrastructure investment or disruption to city operations. When not in use by City vehicles, the public may park and pay to charge their personal EVs.

The units cost approximately $155,000 each and was paid with funding from AB2766 (the Motor Vehicle Subvention Program) through the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The City intends to invest in innovative technolo- gy like this to create a more sustainable future for its operations.

MONTEBELLO REPORTER 14 Health FEBRUARY 2021 HEALTHY CIRCULATION IS AT THE HEART OF EVERY HEALED WOUND This month the staff at Beverly Hospital’s Center for Advanced Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine celebrates American Heart Month. They want to remind you that a healthy heart is a vital component of wound healing. It helps keep oxygen and nutri- ent-rich blood flowing through the body.

Heart health is important as there are diseases which can reduce or block the flow of blood, oxygen, and nutrients needed for wound healing. Heart diseases, such as coronary artery disease and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) can cause plaque to build up inside the arteries.

The oxygen and nutrients that blood carries to a wound are crucial to successful healing. Wounds generally heal more slowly if blood can’t circulate properly.

Common wound types associated with heart disease include: • Venous Ulcers: These ulcers occur when swelling, due to dam- aged valves of the lower leg veins, is uncontrolled. This can cause blood to pool in the ankles and fluid to leak into the surrounding tissue. This fluid breaks down the tissue and an ulcer forms. Venous ulcers are typically found along the inside of the lower leg, below the knee.

• Arterial Ulcers: An arterial ulcer is commonly caused by clogged arteries. When an artery is clogged, it decreases the blood flow, which can cause tissues to be damaged and an ulcer to form. An arterial ulcer is typically found on the lower leg or foot and is often located over the top of the toes or the ankle.

It is never too late to start talking about your heart health and wound care. Speak with your physician about your risk of developing wounds caused by heart disease and if you need to visit a wound care center for further treatment.

MONTEBELLO REPORTER 16 Community FEBRUARY 2021 THE Y GIVES BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY Alinea mobile mammogram unit visited the Y in January 2021, providing free screening all day, which are urgently needed during the pandemic when many are either reluctant to go to healthcare providers for routine check-ups, or unable to gain access to a system that’s overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients. According to Alinea, mammography screening is down 87% from this time last year, and this year’s record unemployment and uninsured dissuade women from getting screened despite that one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetimes, and that early detection increases survival rates to upward of 98%. Alina has conducted 17,000, COVID-19 protocol compliant mobile mammograms throughout California without any incident of compromised patient safety.

Baby2Baby is now also partnering with the YMCA to provide diapers, wipes, and formula powder being distributed to those in need on Mondays & Thursday mornings when the Y hosts “Grab & Go” food distribution days from 9 to 11am or until supplies are exhausted. No-cost tickets are provided begin- ning at 8am to those present (to establish serving order). Mondays are non-perishables sponsored by the Los Angeles Regional COVID-19 Relief Fund & Superior Grocers, and Thursdays are produce days provided by Food Forward, and consumable meals are provided to juveniles courtesy of Nutritious Life Meals Program and City of Youth. Thanks also due to numerous, amazing volunteers who help bundle and distribute food at the Y for ten months now!

MONTEBELLO REPORTER FEBRUARY 2021 Schools 17 OUR LADY OF THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL SCHOOL CONTINUES TO OVERCOME COVID-19 CHALLENGES WHILE HELPING THEIR COMMUNITY OF VIKING FAMILIES IN NEED On March 12, 2020, life at Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal (OLMM) Parish School changed as we know it. The school had just concluded a vigorous week-long process to complete its Accreditation by WASC, the Western Association for Schools and Colleges and soon thereafter, our entire community was placed on “stay-at-home” orders. The School Principal Ms. Dominique Preciado, along with her faculty and staff, immediately jumped into action to ensure that every student would be able to learn from home. They knew that this was going to be a different way of learning, but the OLMM teachers were determined to follow through with their mission as Vincentian educators of the Daughters of Charity School, to provide the best Catholic education possible, while fostering faith, service and excellence. The faculty spent several days discussing, strategizing and planning to launch their first ever “Distance Learning Program” and within a week, OLMM Students were introduced slowly to the new program, that has now continued into the 2020-21 school year. Although distance learning has had its challenges, the Covid-19 Pandemic has made the faculty, staff and students stronger. As of August, thanks to our partnership with Catholic Schools Collaborative, more tools and online applications have been introduced to our Distance Learning Program and every student has been provided an iPad to help them access all the tools needed to be academically successful. In addition to their academics, the students are also provided weekly art, music, prayer services and community builders, including mindfulness with students from Cal State University of Northridge (CSUN), all virtually, to ensure that their emotional and mental needs are also met. The newest addition to the program will be Art Therapy, which is scheduled to launch this month. The Art Therapy will be voluntary and hosted by Loyola Marymount University as they partner with OLMM School for the well-being of the students.

With the Pandemic, also came finan- cial challenges for many of the OLMM Viking families. Parents have found themselves either working from home or without work completely, due to business shutdowns or closures. OLMM School is consistently working with families who are affected by the pandemic, to help in any way they can. OLMM families and members of the surrounding community are also offered free lunches for their children as part of a program offered by the Los Angeles Archdiocese. Principal Dominque Preciado and Vice Principal Cecilia Cordova, along with staff began handing out free lunches and snacks as soon as the Pandemic hit and to date, still continue to provide free lunches to approximately 180 families every week.

Yes, although the year 2020 has turned our world upside down, it has made the faculty, staff and students of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal School stronger than ever. “It has taught our students how to overcome adversity. It has definitely been a year of uncertainty but through it all, God’s grace has led us into significant growth.” Happy New Year from Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Parish School! Here is to better times ahead in the year of 2021, full of love, hope and faith!

CELEBRATING KOBE THE LIVES OF THOSE WHO PERISHED WITH KOBE BRYANT

An NBA legend, a fan favorite, a local hero and loving father is what Kobe meant to millions across the globe. January 26 marked the one year anniversary of the crash that took his life, his daughter Gianna and seven others.

An unbelievable Sunday morning a year ago. We now can think of his dedication to being the best he can be, and to the words and quotes he left behind.

"You can achieve anything, anyone can, and all it takes is dedication." "If you're afraid to fail, then you're probably going to fail."

“May you always remember to enjoy the road, especially when it’s a hard one.”

Quotes like these make us look back at the leadership and hard work Kobe dedicated his life to. Let us continue to celebrate his life as he is often referred to as one of the greatest players in NBA history.

KOBE BRYANT a shooting guard, he spent his entire 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, Bryant helped the Lakers win five NBA championships, and was an 18-time All-Star, a 15-time member of the All-NBA Team, a 12-time member of the All-Defensive Team, the 2008 NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP), and a two-time NBA Finals MVP. Bryant also led the NBA in scoring twice, and ranks fourth on the league's all-time regular season scoring and all-time postseason scoring lists.

AARON DONALD EARNS THREE AWARDS FROM PRO FOOTBALL FOCUS; ANDREW WHITWORTH AND RAMS OFFENSIVE LINE RECEIVE HONORABLE MENTION RECOGNITION FOR OTHERS

Last Wednesday, Pro Football Focus (PFF) handed out end-of-season awards. Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald was among the recipients, while left tackle Andrew Whitworth and the Rams offensive line picked up honorable mention recognition in a couple categories.

Donald received the Dwight Stephenson Award (representing "the best player in the league over any given season, regardless of position," per PFF), Defensive Player of the Year and Best Pass-Rusher.

"Donald is the only interior defender in the PFF era (since 2006) who has led the league in total pressures over a single season, and he has now done so in three of the last four seasons, with only Za'Darius Smith keeping him from that position a season ago," PFF lead NFL analyst Sam Monson wrote as part of the reasoning for Donald receiving the Dwight Stephenson Award.

Donald also won the Dwight Stephenson Award in 2018. As for Defensive Player of the Year, it's his third-straight year earning that distinction and fifth time in the last six seasons overall.”

Sporting News last week released its 2020 All-Pro team, which is compiled annually by polling NFL head coaches. Among those named to the team were Donald and Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Donald was one of two defensive tackle selections, joining the AARON DONALD He was drafted by the Rams with the thirteenth pick in the first round of the 2014 Chiefs' Chris Jones, while Ramsey joined the Dolphins' Xavien NFL Draft. He has been selected to seven Pro Bowls in his seven years into the league, won the NFL Howard as the two cornerback selections. Defensive Rookie of the Year and has twice been named as the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year, having won it back-to-back in 2017 and 2018. Donald has been cited as one of the greatest defen- sive tackles of all time. The Chiefs led all teams with four All-Pro selections by Sporting News. The Rams were one of seven other teams with two selec- tions. Donald was also voted Defensive Player of the Year in a poll of league peers conducted by Sporting News.

RAMS AGREE TO TERMS WITH JOE DECAMILLIS TO BE TEAM'S NEW SPECIAL TEAMS COORDINATOR

The Los Angeles Rams announced Thursday that they have agreed to terms with Joe DeCamillis to be their new special teams coordinator. DeCamillis replaces John Bonamego, who will still remain with the organization as a Senior Coaching Assistant.

DeCamillis brings more than 25 years of NFL coaching experience to the Rams' staff. The 2020 season marked his 32nd in the NFL.

Prior to joining the Rams, he spent the last four seasons as the Jaguars' special teams coordinator in what was his second stint Jacksonville.

HOW NEW CHARGERS HEAD COACH BRANDON STALEY WILL BENEFIT QB JUSTIN HERBERT

“Bill Belichick still needed really good offenses to win consistently every single year. But I also think that the Belichick comparison -- while I'm not trying to say that Brandon Staley is Bill Belichick -- one of the strengths that the Patriots had every single season is that Tom Brady and Bill Belichick would sit down every single week, multiple times, and go over the ways that defenses were going to try to attack Tom Brady. And they had the best guy in the world there to explain the ins and outs and the intricacies of defense to him. Said Robert Mays of the Athletic Blog show.

"I would have to assume that Brandon Staley would be able to do something similar with Justin Herbert over the course of his career. If they could have a dialogue or communication where Staley's overlooking the defense, obviously and that's his purview, but at the same time is able to say, 'Alright, this is what they're trying to do to you. When they do this, this is what they're trying to do.' And I think that understanding defensive rules is one of the most important parts of offensive coach- ing. And Brandon Staley absolutely understands defensive rules, and he also understands the offensive side, because he's a former quarterback who spent a lot of time on that side of the ball.

"I just think that, again, it's hard to thread a needle where I would want to hire a defensive-minded head coach in 2021. That's my own personal kind of way that I see it. But I do think that if you wanted one, he checks every single box that you would want someone to check." Added Mays.
