Approximately 30% of rodent holes in the area have coccidioidomycosis, or valley fever. It's a fungus that develops below the undisturbed surface of soils in hot, dry areas in the western United States. The fungus, when inhaled in dust, can cause long-term and sometimes severe health issues. If the fungus disseminates beyond the lungs, it can cause cocci meningitis, resulting in paralysis and neurological issues. As the climate warms and becomes drier, the fungus, which can also infect animals, could spread to new areas of the country. ",

So in 2022, she posted a \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/CfwwlRxlP0g/\">video on Instagram\u003c/a> to address the artist directly. “Hi, Benito, Bad Bunny, hope you see this video,” she said in Spanish while signing. “Did you know that there are roughly 100,000 Deaf people in Puerto Rico? The majority like your songs, but they haven’t had the chance to experience a concert with an interpreter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A week later, Rivera Cosme was on tour with Bad Bunny as one of his official sign language interpreters. She’ll now join the Puerto Rican star as he headlines the Super Bowl halftime show at Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium. It’s first time in the show’s history that it will feature lyrics entirely in Spanish, and the first time Puerto Rican Sign Language will be in the spotlight on one of the country’s biggest stages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m so excited,” Rivera Cosme told KQED in Puerto Rican Sign Language, or LSPR, during an interview assisted by an interpreter. “And the Deaf people of Puerto Rico are happy that the Super Bowl will be accessible to them in their own sign language.” Rivera Cosme will sign Bad Bunny’s lyrics in LSPR, bouncing on stage with the full-body energy of the music. LSPR is different from American Sign Language, or ASL, and Bad Bunny’s distinctly Puerto Rican slang already figures into its vocabulary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rivera Cosme’s Super Bowl halftime performance marks an important shift for Deaf representation. Historically, concerts have featured hearing interpreters, but many Deaf audiences prefer Deaf interpreters who are more fluent in their language and culture.

So in 2022, she posted a \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/CfwwlRxlP0g/\">video on Instagram\u003c/a> to address the artist directly. “Hi, Benito, Bad Bunny, hope you see this video,” she said in Spanish while signing. “Did you know that there are roughly 100,000 Deaf people in Puerto Rico? The majority like your songs, but they haven’t had the chance to experience a concert with an interpreter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A week later, Rivera Cosme was on tour with Bad Bunny as one of his official sign language interpreters. She’ll now join the Puerto Rican star as he headlines the Super Bowl halftime show at Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium. It’s first time in the show’s history that it will feature lyrics entirely in Spanish, and the first time Puerto Rican Sign Language will be in the spotlight on one of the country’s biggest stages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m so excited,” Rivera Cosme told KQED in Puerto Rican Sign Language, or LSPR, during an interview assisted by an interpreter. “And the Deaf people of Puerto Rico are happy that the Super Bowl will be accessible to them in their own sign language.” Rivera Cosme will sign Bad Bunny’s lyrics in LSPR, bouncing on stage with the full-body energy of the music. LSPR is different from American Sign Language, or ASL, and Bad Bunny’s distinctly Puerto Rican slang already figures into its vocabulary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rivera Cosme’s Super Bowl halftime performance marks an important shift for Deaf representation. Historically, concerts have featured hearing interpreters, but many Deaf audiences prefer Deaf interpreters who are more fluent in their language and culture. Since she’s partially Deaf, Rivera Cosme spends time ahead of the concert listening to the set list through headphones, reading the lyrics and preparing to give a dynamic show for Deaf Bad Bunny fans who enjoy the bass-heavy reggaeton beats and high-energy salsas through their vibrations. As she looks forward to the Super Bowl, Rivera Cosme says she’s especially proud to interpret songs that spotlight Puerto Rican traditions, like “Cafe Con Ron,” which features the folk ensemble Pleneros de la Cresta. “I grew up in the mountains, in the countryside,” she said. “So I really identify with that song.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

One of the key areas that state leaders are looking to help the state reach its clean energy goals is the Mojave Desert. Since 2014, the desert \u003ca href=\"https://www.energy.ca.gov/powerplant/solar-thermal/ivanpah-solar-energy-generating\">has been home to one of the largest solar power plants in North America\u003c/a>. However, California’s zero-carbon efforts in the Mojave are coming at the expense of a celebrated natural icon: the Joshua Tree.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>President Trump’s tariff war may take a big chunk out of California’s budget. Since the tariffs went into effect last week, \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/markets/global-markets-wrapup-1pix-2025-04-09/\">the stock market has plummeted for days on end\u003c/a>; that means a drop in revenue for some of the state’s wealthiest residents, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletter/trump-tariffs-california-budget/\">which could put a hole in California’s budget down the line.\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A new bill circulating through the California state legislature may tip the balance in favor of rideshare drivers, when it comes to bargaining for better working conditions. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12034860/california-bill-would-allow-uber-lyft-drivers-bargain-collectively\">AB-1340\u003c/a> would make it legal for those driving for rideshare giants like Lyft and Uber to form a union, in order to negotiate with their employers.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kvpr.org/podcast/central-valley-daily/2025-04-07/apr-7-could-a-green-energy-boom-in-the-desert-devastate-a-natural-icon\">\u003cstrong>Residents of Desert Town Ask if Trees Need to Die for Solar Power\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mojave Desert gets a more than 3,200 hours of sunshine on average per year, making it a prime spot for producing solar energy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was the thinking from state regulators, when they approved the new 2,300-acre\u003ca href=\"https://kernplanning.com/environmental-doc/aratina-solar-project/\"> Aratina Solar Project\u003c/a>, which is now being built near the town of Boron in Kern County.

Agents in unmarked SUVs rounded up people in vans outside a Home Depot and gas station that serves a breakfast popular with field workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This appears to be the first large-scale Border Patrol raid in California since the election of Donald Trump, coming just a day after Congress certified the election on Jan. 6, in the final days of Joe Biden’s presidency. The panic and confusion, for both immigrants and local businesses that rely on their labor, foreshadow what awaits communities across California if Trump follows through on his promise to conduct mass deportations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was profiling, it was purely field workers,” said Sara Fuentes, store manager of the local gas station. Fuentes said that at 9 a.m., when the store typically gets a rush of workers on their way to pick oranges, two men in civilian clothes and unmarked Suburbans started detaining people outside the store. “They didn’t stop people with FedEx uniforms, they were stopping people who looked like they worked in the fields.” Fuentes says one customer pulled in just to pump gas and agents approached him and detained him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fuentes has lived in Bakersfield all her life and says she’s never seen anything like it. In one instance, she said a man and woman drove up to the store together, and the man went inside. Border Patrol detained the man as he walked out, Fuentes said, and then demanded the woman get out of the vehicle. When she refused, another agent parked his vehicle behind the woman, blocking her car. Fuentes said it wasn’t until the local Univision station showed up that Border Patrol agents backed up their car and allowed the woman to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-group\">\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n\u003cp>Fuentes says none of the regular farm workers showed up to buy breakfast on Wednesday morning. “No field workers at all,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Growers and agricultural leaders in California and across the nation have warned that Trump’s promised mass deportations will disrupt the nation’s food supply, leading to shortages and higher prices. In Kern County this week, just the word of the deportations inspired workers to stay away from the fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are freaked out, people are worried, people are planning on staying home the next couple of days,” said Antonio De Loera-Brust, director of communication for the United Farm Workers. De Loera-Brust said the Border Patrol detained at least one UFW member in Kern County as they “traveled between home and work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Videos shared in local Facebook groups and Instagram pages show Border Patrol agents pulling over vehicles along Highway 99 on Tuesday and Wednesday in Bakersfield.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>“They were stopping cars at random, asking people for papers.

Agents in unmarked SUVs rounded up people in vans outside a Home Depot and gas station that serves a breakfast popular with field workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This appears to be the first large-scale Border Patrol raid in California since the election of Donald Trump, coming just a day after Congress certified the election on Jan. 6, in the final days of Joe Biden’s presidency. The panic and confusion, for both immigrants and local businesses that rely on their labor, foreshadow what awaits communities across California if Trump follows through on his promise to conduct mass deportations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was profiling, it was purely field workers,” said Sara Fuentes, store manager of the local gas station. Fuentes said that at 9 a.m., when the store typically gets a rush of workers on their way to pick oranges, two men in civilian clothes and unmarked Suburbans started detaining people outside the store. “They didn’t stop people with FedEx uniforms, they were stopping people who looked like they worked in the fields.” Fuentes says one customer pulled in just to pump gas and agents approached him and detained him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

When she refused, another agent parked his vehicle behind the woman, blocking her car.

And that’s dams. Nann Fangue is a professor at UC Davis who studies endangered native fish in California. “If you are short on cold water, you see fewer fish make it. Higher mortality.” Fangue said.

So rebuilding shallow floodplains is a way to give those baby salmon a chance. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">There’s another major factor stacked against the salmon. And that’s dams. Nann Fangue is a professor at UC Davis who studies endangered native fish in California. “If you are short on cold water, you see fewer fish make it. Higher mortality.” Fangue said. Dams have separated the salmon on the Central Valley floor from the cold water they need to survive – upstream in the Sierra foothills.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Newsom Continues Jobs First Tour\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Governor Gavin Newsom says California’s Central Valley will not get left behind as the state develops a green economy. It’s the second region in the state to submit a 20-year economic development plan, with a goal of boosting jobs in agriculture, industry and manufacturing. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
