LOCAL AND REGIONAL NEWS

Today is Election Day.  Polls close tonight at 8p.  In most California voting districts, the only issue on the ballot is Proposition 50, to allow the temporary suspension of normal voting redistricting – sometimes referred to as “gerrymandering”.  The plan is being promoted by Gov. Gavin Newsom to counteract a similar move in Texas to boost the Republican majority in Congress.  In Poway, ballots include a recall measure for city councilman Tony Blain, who is facing felony charges.  Mail ballots can be dropped off at any Voting Center, designated drop box, or the post office.  Mailed ballots need to be postmarked today to be counted.  You can also vote in person at any Voting Center or the County Registrar of Voters headquarters.  For full information on voting and registering to vote, San Diego County residents can go to www.SDVote.com.  Riverside County residents’ website is www.Voteinfo.net.

One person was killed, three others injured and a driver arrested for DUI in an accident on the 215 freeway in Murrieta yesterday.  A 2022 Prius went off the road and struck a tree.  No other vehicles were involved.  The driver, 28-year old Andrea Margarita Villalta was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.  https://www.pressenterprise.com/2025/11/03/driver-arrested-suspected-of-dui-after-passenger-is-killed-in-collision-off-215-freeway-in-murrieta/

There was a two-vehicle wreck this morning just before 6a on Highway 76 near the entrance to Pala Rey Youth Camp.  CHP reports it involved a white Chevy pickup and a silver or blue minivan.  Both vehicles went off the roadway.  No word on injuries.  https://www.villagenews.com/story/2025/10/30/news/two-vehicles-crash-off-state-route-76-in-pala-possibly-hitting-tree/80330.html

There have now been six confirmed deaths in an 18-state listeria outbreak.  Three of them were in California.  The outbreak is linked to ready-to-eat pasta meals sold nationwide at Walmart and Trader Joe’s.  Federal health officials had issued a warning back in September that resulted in the recall of two items from Nate’s Fine Foods.  One is the smoked mozzarella pasta salad sold at Sprouts with use-by dates of October 10 through 29.  Also recalled were packages of Scott & Jon’s shrimp scampi with linguini bowls with a use-by date of March 2027.   https://patch.com/california/across-ca/6-now-dead-more-ill-widespread-listeria-outbreak-what-know-ca

As of midday trading on Wall Street, stocks were down significantly.  The Dow fell 6 tenths of a percent.  The S&P 500 was down a full percent.  And the Nasdaq dropped 1.6%.  Gold futures fell on the Comex as well, down $65.60 an ounce to $3,948.10.  West Texas Intermediate Crude oil futures fell 40 cents to $60.65 a barrel.

Yum Brands is exploring options for its struggling Pizza Hut division.  They include joint ventures, selling a stake, or unloading the entire franchise.  The chain’s share of the U.S. pizza market has shrunk from 22.6% in 2019 to 18.7% last year.  Pizza Hut’s glory days were in the 1970s through 1997 when PepsiCo spun off all of its restaurant business including Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, calling the new company Global, which was later renamed to Yum.  Yum’s 3^rd quarter revenue is up, but more thanks to sales increases at Taco Bell and KFC.  Pizza Hut’s sales declined by 1%.    https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/04/yum-brands-pizza-hut-strategic-options-sale.html

LIFESTYLE / GREEN LIVING

The restaurant workers advocacy group, One Fair Wage announced it is launching the Service Workers SNAP Emergency Fund to provide immediate relief to workers hit hardest by the current disruption to the food stamps program.  This comes one day after the announcement that the Trump administration will continue SNAP payments at least one more month during the government shutdown, but only at half the normal amount.  One Fair Wage says service workers rely on SNAP benefits at a rate twice that of other employment sectors and calls it “a reflection of poverty wages across the country.”  Restaurant and service workers who receive SNAP and will experience food insecurity due to benefit reductions can apply by submitting an online form at https://OFWEmergencyFund.org .  Available support includes direct cash assistance for groceries and basic needs, access to food resource partners, and local relief.  As a non-profit, One Fair Wage is also seeking donations to support its Emergency Fund.  (One Fair Wage media release)

Actress Diane Ladd died yesterday morning at her home in Ojai just a couple of weeks short of her 90^th birthday.  She was a three-time Oscar nominee for her roles in “Wild at Heart”, “Rambling Rose” and as sharp-tongued waitress Flo in the movie version of “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore”.  Her first film was in 1961 in “Something Wild”.  She acted alongside her daughter, Laura Dern a number of times including as her wildly villainous mother in Wild at Heart.  Rambling Rose was the only time a real-life mother and daughter were both nominated for Oscars in the same film.  More recently, they worked together in the HBO series “Enlightened” from 2011-2013.  Ladd played the beloved grandmother to Jennifer Lawrence’s character in the 2015 film, “Joy”.  She was Clark Griswold’s mother in “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”.  Real film buffs will recall her as the fake Evelyn Mulwray opposite Jack Nicholson in 1974’s “Chinatown”.  In her career, she appeared in more than 200 movies and television shows.  Ladd published a book of short stories titled “A Bad Afternoon for a Piece of Cake” in 2013.  Married three times, she is survived by her daughter Laura and two grandchildren. https://variety.com/2025/film/obituaries-people-news/diane-ladd-dead-wild-at-heart-laura-dern-mother-1236568764/

Former Vice President, Dick Cheney has passed due to complications of pneumonia, and cardiac and vascular disease.  He had a history of heart troubles dating back to 1978.  Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, he served in national political office for nearly 50 years.  News sources credit him as something of a shadow president having more influence and power than any other VP during his eight years in that office under President George W. Bush.  Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, it was Cheney who advanced the “One Percent Doctrine” which stated that the U.S. needed to attack anyone who could conceivably pose a threat – preemptively.  It placed the nation on a war footing for an indefinite term and led to the invasion of Iraq.  Cheney had said in August 2002, “… wars are never won on the defensive.”  Though a major believer in giving the presidency more power in order to overcome Congressional gridlock, he would later side with his daughter Rep. Liz Cheney in opposing Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and called him out for his conduct on January 6, 2021.  Dick Cheney was 84. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/04/vice-president-dick-cheney-obit-033422

• In 1972, Johnny Nash began the first of three weeks at #1 with “I Can See Clearly Now”.  The reggae-influenced song was the result of his creating the Jamaican record label, JAD Records several years earlier which was the first to sign The Wailers, including Bob Marley.

• In 2012, a copyright infringement case by songwriter Guy Hobbs against Elton John and Bernie Taupin for their hit song “Nikita” was thrown out of court.  Yes, they were similar.  But the judge decided the common themes and phrasing were prevalent in other songs as well.

• Californians, are no longer required to wear masks in most indoor public places.  It’s now only a recommendation.  Masks are now optional on public transportation, in airports and in taxis.  They’re still required in most hospitals and doctor’s offices.  Masks and other coverings don’t have to be hospital grade, but N95 is recommended.  Cotton fabric which can easily be washed and reused has proven to be less effective at preventing the spread of coronavirus.
• County Health advises that anyone who is sick with anything – diagnosed or not, stay home and not return to work until at least 3 days after they are fever-free without the use of fever-reducing medicines and at least 7 days after symptoms began.  They define fever as 100 degrees or more.
• Pala Administration no longer requires a negative test before returning to work after a Covid quarantine. The rules for Covid are now the same as for colds and flu – no return to work until symptom and fever-free for 48 hours.  But no test is necessary.
