I think he does a 12 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 3: great job. I call him like the jazz pianist of 13 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 3: radio because he just. 14 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 4: He finds the pocket. 15 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, you can give him anything, or he can just 16 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 3: find anything and riff his way to mastery. So he's like, 17 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 3: you know, a jazz piano riffer. But the idea that 18 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 3: he would need a much needed arrest, that's all I'm saying. 19 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 3: I don't think it's I would test how needed it is, 20 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 3: all right, That's all I'm trying to say. Well, I 21 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 3: think we started awkwardly, all right, It's not really when 22 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 3: you first. 23 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 4: Piped in, it was a little bit of a quick 24 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 4: ramp up in your voice there. I have to say. 25 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 4: It wasn't like a let's everybody. 26 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 1: We have all kinds of stuff today. 27 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 3: In fact, there are there's at least one story related 28 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 3: to the holidays and related to health that truly blows 29 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 3: me away, and I'll share that with you upcoming as 30 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 3: well as a major premiere of a film about Dick 31 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 3: Van Dyke. And it's a sign of the times that I, 32 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 3: of course grew up with Dick Van Dyke. Many of 33 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 3: you grew up with Dick Van Dyke, but I think 34 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 3: those of us who grew up with Dick Van Dyke somehow, 35 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 3: this guy's a show business legend. I mean, he's transcended 36 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 3: and he won two three, four, five projects to be 37 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 3: this kind of entertainment icon, right, And yet what I 38 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 3: lose track of is that there are people who don't 39 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 3: know who Dick Van Dyke is, which is astounding to me. 40 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 3: And one of those people is working on this show 41 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 3: right now. That's right, Richie, who's producing this show? He said, 42 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 3: And I've got this the director of that Ivan Dyke thing.

I mean, 54 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 3: I think when they start naming streets after you in 55 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 3: Los Angeles, you know you're you're a big deal, and 56 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 3: there are you know, streets named after Vin Scully at 57 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 3: least one. Vin Scully was a broadcast you know, Hall 58 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 3: of Famer. I mean he may be, you know, on 59 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 3: the Mount Rushmore of broadcasters when it comes to sports broadcasters. 60 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 3: And similarly, Dick Van Dyke would be on the Mount 61 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 3: Rushmore of entertainers. So I'm going to just a couple 62 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 3: of quick follow ups. I don't mean to make this 63 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 3: about you not knowing something. 64 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: I really know. 65 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 3: It's more out of curiosity.

There is a police 126 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 3: canine shot and killed by a suspect. This is one 127 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 3: of those awful situations. It starts as a traffic stop 128 00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 3: in Burbank and then leads to a shootout with officers 129 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 3: and before you know it, you've got deaths. Yeah, suspect 130 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 3: jumped over the freeway embankment wall onto a nearby residential area. 131 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 3: The canine caught up with him, and the suspect fired 132 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,559 Speaker 3: multiple rounds, striking the canine. Then he fled on foot. 133 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 3: So I don't need to tell you that that canine 134 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 3: officer is the oftentimes label is applied to canine work. 135 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 3: Canine rushed to an emergency veterinarian for treatment did not survive. 136 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 3: Spike is the dog's name, described as an intelligent and 137 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 3: devoted partner. Recently had celebrated a birthday The suspect hid 138 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 3: in the neighborhood for hours after allegedly shooting the dog. 139 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 3: Big response from additional canine units, also crisis negotiators. SWAT 140 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 3: was brought in around midnight. Police say the suspect began 141 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 3: shooting ad officers and hit patrol vehicles that were parked nearby. 142 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 3: So that's why I say it starts as a traffic 143 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 3: stop and before you know it, you've got all of 144 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 3: this going down. Officers return fire hit and killed the suspect, 145 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 3: who hasn't been identified. A handgun required rather recovered at 146 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 3: the scene. And it's a sad loss of life. This 147 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 3: community in Burbank racked by this kind of incident and 148 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 3: then this dog which had you know, or who had 149 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 3: done such work with the law enforcement officers, Spike loses 150 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 3: his life. There is a procession held for him. The 151 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 3: word from Burbank Police Lieutenant Derrek Green is, I'll give 152 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 3: you the quote, this is no different than losing a 153 00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 3: police officer. These are police officers. It's a dog, but 154 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 3: it's part of our law enforcement family. These police canines 155 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 3: are essentially a partner to their handlers. He served our 156 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 3: community just like any of the men and women are 157 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 3: serving our community alongside him. We know that the people 158 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 3: that are associated with him and affiliated with him are 159 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 3: really suffering. 160 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: Today, there'll be a public memorial for Spike. 161 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 3: They're still working out timing for now, people that are 162 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 3: stopping by, and there is a memorial that is growing 163 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 3: as people pay their respects for this fallen canine officer. 164 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 3: Ugly incident ended ugly for all concerned. But that of 165 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 3: course really a loss that will linger when we come 166 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 3: back to me. One of the most outrageous, bizarre and 167 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 3: a bit disturbing stories of the Christmas season and it 168 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 3: has to do with gift wrapping.

His parents separated when he was 197 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 3: just a baby, and the most important relationships were with 198 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 3: his father and grandmother. 199 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 1: He said. 200 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 3: The father was a very, very strict disciplinarian grandmother played 201 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 3: an important role in his life.

Maybe there's something to it, the idea 222 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 3: that you could get a paper cut, and I mean 223 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 3: it's gift wrapping season, so in a way you're entering 224 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 3: this really dangerous period. But there is a phenomenon associated 225 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:52,959 Speaker 3: with a paper cut that then turns into a desperate, emergency, 226 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 3: urgent situation. Don't take my word for it, take the 227 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 3: word of this newsperson who's going to fill us in. 228 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 8: Hard to believe this woman's right and swollen hand is 229 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 8: from a paper cut. 230 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 9: And it looked like Sunday's ham. 231 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 4: You know, it was really icky looking. 232 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 9: Could you believe that that big of an infection happened 233 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 9: from simply a paper cut? 234 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 2: It had to have like happened so fast. 235 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 5: I've never had anything like that happened before ever. 236 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 8: Melinda Howard says she was breaking down cardboard boxes for 237 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 8: recycling after moving into a new house in Mississippi when 238 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:37,119 Speaker 8: she nicked her hand. We had mountains the cardboard boxes 239 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 8: in our living room, and I was really tired of 240 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 8: looking at him. 241 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 4: One of them just cut me just right. 242 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 9: Didn't think much of it, not at all. 243 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: It's a common enough occurrence to get it cut. 244 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 8: The sixty three year old Ultra marathoner wrapped her hands 245 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 8: with a bandage. A week later, my head started hurting 246 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 8: and I showed my husband. 247 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 9: He's like, oh, holy cow, that's bad. 248 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 8: So he about stuffed me into the car and away 249 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 8: we went to urgent care. 250 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 9: It's a warning to be extra careful about paper cuts 251 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 9: this holiday season one wrapping and unwrapping gifts. But what 252 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 9: makes Melinda's infection so severe is that for years she 253 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 9: had been taking the steroid preadmozone, a commonly prescribed medication 254 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 9: to reduce inflammation. But one side effect it thins the skin. 255 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 3: My skin, well, thins the skin, and I think it 256 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 3: also can you step it for a second or no? 257 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: Once we started, we can't stand it. The pread zone. 258 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 3: I think side effect also is it reduces your immune efficiency. 259 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: I believe. 260 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 3: I mean, I think you become more susceptible to infection. 261 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 3: I you know, check me on that, but I'm pretty 262 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 3: sure that that's right anyway. So she's a long time 263 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 3: user of breadnisone forr Andy. I think it's one of 264 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 3: those powerful andi in planmatories. There is anyway back to 265 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 3: the story, Go ahead. 266 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 9: My skin is like somebody in their eighties. 267 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 5: It tears easily and gets cut easily. 268 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 8: This is what Melinda's hand looks like today. It's healing 269 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 8: up nicely. 270 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 7: It looks great. 271 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks great, feels like it could be a 272 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 3: drop that so it has a happy ending. People have 273 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 3: been asking me how my hand is doing. I think 274 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 3: it's doing better, she said. She posted this on social media. 275 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 3: This is where everybody shares all of their medical problems 276 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 3: on her x account.

This makes me very happy. 280 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 3: She does seem like one of those happy people. I 281 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 3: have to say, so maybe you know that happiness comes 282 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 3: from within and helps the curative power of attitude.

And then I think the 342 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 3: central part before you get into those two was kind 343 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 3: of like an overview of Liberacci's life and how he 344 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 3: was brought up and all this kind of thing. So 345 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 3: the one thing I always liked about Liberacci was that 346 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 3: he seemed into like donating a lot of money to 347 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 3: music and to help young musicians, and that's what the 348 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:31,479 Speaker 3: museum was dedicated to, was that funding. So anyway, his house, 349 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 3: I think he had two homes at minimum, one in 350 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 3: the valley and the other in Palm Springs. His place 351 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 3: in Palm Springs is maybe it's a visitors center now 352 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 3: or maybe somebody lives there. 353 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. 354 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 3: But the place in the valley is in Sherman Oaks 355 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 3: and it's for sale now. And Courtney just sent me 356 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 3: this saying, Liberaci's houses for sale, four bedrooms, four baths, 357 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 3: almost four thousand square feet and a swimming pool, shaped 358 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 3: as a Russier, a violin it shaped as a piano 359 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 3: with the piano keys there as well. But apart from that, 360 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 3: I'm looking at the pictures. 361 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 4: It doesn't look ostentatious. 362 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 3: It doesn't look liberaci ish exactly. There's nothing at all 363 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 3: Liberaci about the place. 364 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 6: And the man could flat out play too, yeah, like 365 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 6: he really could play. 366 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, but he and he really just sold it. I mean, 367 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 3: if you I mean, it's really what. No, he wasn't straight? 368 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 3: Who says I don't? I first of all, you have 369 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 3: no way of knowing that, and secondly, I'd like to 370 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 3: be sure of that before you go further. But it 371 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 3: doesn't matter to me, But I guess a confirmation please, Yeah, 372 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 3: it doesn't. I don't care, but I'm just saying it. 373 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 3: It's kind of I don't know what makes you say 374 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 3: that anyway. Guess the asking price for Liberachi's home in 375 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 3: Sherman Oaks, four bedrooms, four bath, thirty nine seven is 376 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 3: the square footage? 377 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: What do you think? 378 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 3: Kroze four two m good guess, but a million high? 379 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,719 Speaker 3: They want three five, they want three to two. You're 380 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 3: almost your you know, just a million off. It may 381 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 3: end up going for four to two, but it's on. 382 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 3: It's on the market everyone, all you Liberachi fans. You 383 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 3: can get yourself a piece of of Lee in Sherman 384 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 3: Oaks when we come back. One of the largest off 385 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 3: the grid communities is right here in suburban LA. I'll 386 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 3: tell you about it next. It's the Conway Show Thompson 387 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 3: sitting in. 388 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 7: You're listening to tim conwaytun you're on demand from KFI. 389 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 3: A Mark Thompson for tim Conway Junior the Holidays. It's 390 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 3: a big I don't know what that is that? Do 391 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 3: you guys hear that? Or is that? 392 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: Am I having a stroke right now? 393 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 3: That's on? It's on my side? Is it all right? 394 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 3: I don't know how to shot on sit. I didn't 395 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 3: set this thing up. So first of all, I'd like 396 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 3: to throw myself on the mercy of the court Richie. 397 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 3: Is Richie still in the building or has he gone 398 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 3: home to watch Mary Poppins. 399 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 5: I just got back from watching Mary Poppins. 400 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: Okay, can you come in and stop this thing from 401 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: making that sound? Okay? Thank you. 402 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 3: One of the largest off the grid communities, by the way, 403 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 3: it is k IF. I am six forty. If I 404 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 3: didn't say it. We're life everywhere in the iHeart Radio. 405 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 3: More about the Apostathon in the next hour, and more 406 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 3: on Dick van Dyke and his one hundredth birthday in 407 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 3: just a few minutes with the director of the new 408 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 3: documentary about Dick van Dyke. But the community I'm talking 409 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 3: about that is right here in La that is living 410 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 3: off the grid, has sort of been forced to live 411 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 3: off the grid. It's the Rancho Polos Verdi's Portuguese Bend neighborhood. 412 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 3: But this is one of the largest off the grid 413 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 3: communities in all of America. And it's that way because 414 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:27,479 Speaker 3: public utilities stop providing any service because of the landslide movement. 415 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 3: You know, this is all because of these problems that 416 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 3: have resulted from the land moving. It's all, as you know, 417 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 3: because of the soaking rains and they've had to essentially 418 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 3: drain these hillsides on a continuing basis in order to 419 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 3: prevent the land from shifting and moving any further. But 420 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 3: because of that, because of that land movement, utilities are 421 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 3: saying we can't service the area anymore. And so you've got, 422 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 3: as one person put it to the president of the 423 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 3: Portuguese ben Community, association. He said, we've got one hundred 424 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 3: plus homes here acting like we're out in the middle 425 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,679 Speaker 3: of the Mohave Desert. We're doing what we can to 426 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 3: stay in our homes. These people have, you know, great 427 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 3: investments that community. You know, that's a really special community 428 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 3: in la But what they're doing now in this sort 429 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 3: of off the grid way is they are powering their 430 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 3: homes through solar and increased rainfall has led to more 431 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 3: ground water and they've had to build this. Essentially, it's 432 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 3: a complex of these drainage systems there to keep the 433 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 3: land from moving. This is a slow moving landslide of 434 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 3: one sort or another. That's so many of these homes 435 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 3: are having to deal with. So after wet seasons, this 436 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 3: community trying to hang on is power itself through solar 437 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 3: and then these dewatering wells that are running all the 438 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 3: time to extend drain the hillside of water. They are 439 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 3: run off of pro pane power generators, but it's expensive 440 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 3: and the city is running out of money, so they 441 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 3: break down. 442 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: It's hard to run them all the time. 443 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 3: It's expensive and restoring electricity apparently is one of their 444 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 3: big challenges for this area since last September when Edison 445 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 3: cut the electricity. The district has spent about two hundred 446 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 3: and thirty five thousand dollars on generators for this area 447 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 3: again off the grid. This Rancho Palace Verities Portuguese Bend 448 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 3: area fuel maintenance two hundred and thirty five thousand dollars 449 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 3: since last September. I mean, in the past it's been 450 00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 3: out thirty six thousand for grid power to electricity, but 451 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 3: Edison is saying we can't safely restore power because of 452 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 3: the land movement. The infrastructure damage can cause all of 453 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 3: our systems to fail. There could be a fire danger, 454 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 3: other public safety hazards, so they're sort of at a standoff. 455 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 3: So this is a back and forth in this community 456 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 3: that certainly will see some kind of resolution. But right 457 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 3: now there are certain very active sections of this landslide, 458 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 3: mostly in the Portugee Portuguese Bend community. There's movement of 459 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 3: about two inches a week according to the city's latest data, 460 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,439 Speaker 3: and that's well above what it should be. I mean, historically, 461 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 3: the problem likely won't get any better. And the city 462 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 3: of Rancho Palace Verity is also operating these off the 463 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 3: grid dewatering wells and they have been able to run 464 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 3: them constantly, but it's been a strain on their budget. 465 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 3: In the last fiscal year, the city spent one point 466 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 3: seven million dollars on generators in fuel just to keep 467 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 3: those pumping. And that's on top of the one hundred 468 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 3: and fifty thousand dollars for generators that power the sewer system. 469 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, you realize what goes into a community. 470 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 3: It's a lot of different stuff, all of which has 471 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 3: to operate. So they're trying to navigate all of this 472 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 3: and hopefully get power back on and restored to this 473 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 3: area because right now they really are living in an 474 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 3: off the grid way and Southern California Edison is giving 475 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 3: them thresholds that they have to meet and hit in 476 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 3: order to get power restored, and Southern California Gas has 477 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 3: not even indicated what would take to establish any kind 478 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 3: of restoration of gas service. So again, parts of the 479 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 3: area around the Portuguese Bend area of Rancho Palace Verites 480 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 3: are getting restoration of some of these services, and I'm 481 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 3: sure that gives the residents there a little bit of hope. 482 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 3: But this is an extraordinary situation, it really is, and 483 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 3: it's happening right here in southern California. You know what 484 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 3: this is like, It's a little like what's going on 485 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,239 Speaker 3: in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico. They don't have a lot 486 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 3: of that infrastructure re establish either. You know, Puerto Rico 487 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 3: had issues with the hurricane and they're still trying to 488 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,239 Speaker 3: get dependable electricity eight years after that hurricane wiped out 489 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 3: a bunch of their grid. So again, this is a 490 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 3: well healed community, or a fairly well healed community, but 491 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 3: now it is strained beyond what the community can likely 492 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 3: tolerate for any length of time.
