Increasingly, more and more animals are being brou Increasingly, more and more animals are being brought into shelters with fewer and fewer people adopting pets. As a result, these shelters have reached critical overcapacity and are at risk of not having enough resources to take care of the animals they already house. We at The Highlander spoke with a couple members of the Riverside County Department of Animal Services (RCDAS) at their shelter in Jurupa Valley to learn a little more about this heartbreaking issue.

The laughter of my cousins filled the air. Their g The laughter of my cousins filled the air. Their giggles carried from ear to ear, drowning out the morbid sobs that filled the space only a month ago. I’m standing in the same place I was before as I held my little sister, painting a vision of a bright blue sky and field—and —fields of green grass, filled with wild horses. The rancho my papa always wanted to return to, and never could.

The Riverside County Department of Animal Services The Riverside County Department of Animal Services (RCDAS) has reported overcrowding in their four locations since before COVID-19. Despite efforts to curtail the congestion, the RCDAS reported that the summer months brought on an influx of animals, causing them to announce that they were at a “critically overcrowded” status. Although recent initiatives have begun to reduce that number, the RCDAS is continuing to strain their resources to support the animals currently under their care while avoiding the use of euthanasia.

Latina women are characterized as spicy, toxic and Latina women are characterized as spicy, toxic and jealous. But why is that characterization so normalized? The stereotype of a “tȯxica” Latina girlfriend is something that many young men strive for because it makes them feel desired and wanted. This stereotype is harmful to women who had the luck of being born to Latino parents.

On Sept. 8, the Riverside Police Department (RPD) On Sept. 8, the Riverside Police Department (RPD) arrested 38 year old Williams Coronado-Morales for secretly recording his coworkers in the bathroom while working at the Riverwalk Post Acute facility — 4000 Harrison St. a local nursing home. 

An investigation into the incident began on July 9 after an unidentified employee discovered a concealed phone inside the private employee restroom. Detectives from the RPD’s sexual assault and child abuse unit were assigned to the case. Officers were then able to seize the device and begin to collect digital evidence in the form of recordings captured by the phone as well as go through the center’s surveillance footage. 

The investigation found that the device had been used to record other members of the staff while inside the employee bathrooms without their consent. Although it has not been disclosed how long the phone had been in the restroom, police were able to identify seven different victims and are continuing to determine if there are others.

Information regarding where Coronado-Morales is currently being held has not been publicly released, however the RPD stated that he has been booked and is now being charged with seven counts of invasion of privacy and is being held at a $5,000 bail. Police ask anyone with additional information on the case to call 951-353-7113 or email Jpayne@RiversideCA.gov.
