Hillcrest Expands and Connects Community Living in La Verne with Gateway Neighborhood Project, Adding Seven New Homes
LA VERNE, Calif., May 7, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Hillcrest, a senior living community in La Verne, is expanding and connecting its campus with the addition of the Gateway Project. The project includes a walkway connecting its east and west campuses, a new neighborhood of single-family homes, and the renovation of three existing homes.
Image caption: Hillcrest in La Verne is expanding and connecting its campus with the addition of the Gateway Project, which includes a new neighborhood of single-family homes, the renovation of three existing homes and a walkway connecting the east and west campuses.
The additions are designed to enhance everyday life in the community by adding direct pedestrian access between dining, wellness, and residential areas at Hillcrest. The zoning changes were unanimously approved by the La Verne City Council in March and mark the culmination of 80 years of planning and development to geographically unify the 50-acre campus.
“This project has been part of Hillcrest’s long-term planning and marks a key milestone in our long-term vision of community living,” said Shirley Turner, Director of Sales and Marketing at Hillcrest. “It brings both sides of our campus together and creates a stronger sense of connection for residents, thus becoming a Gateway to each other.”
As the senior housing industry prepares to handle the Silver Tsunami, with an estimated 10,000 baby boomers retiring daily, Hillcrest is experiencing increasing demand for independent living options in the San Gabriel Valley. With over 20 acres of vacant property, the community is well-positioned for growth and relevance as older adults seek retirement housing options.
The Gateway neighborhood will feature seven single-family homes designed for residents who want a low-maintenance lifestyle with access to on-campus services and independent living. Each residence will offer approximately 1,600 square feet, two-car garages, and modern layouts, including open-concept kitchens and single-level floor plans.
“The Gateway homes are ideally located within the Hillcrest community, central to the fitness center and our Meeting House. If you’re downsizing from a considerably larger home but are still looking for active, vibrant community living, this is the place for you,” said Turner.
The project builds on the success of Hillcrest’s Hawthorne neighborhood and reflects growing demand for residential living options that blend privacy with access to dining and wellness programs. Residents will have full access to Hillcrest’s suite of amenities, wellness programs, and continuum-of-care services.
Construction is expected to be completed between fall and winter 2027.
ABOUT HILLCREST
Hillcrest is an upscale 501(c)(3) nonprofit continuing care retirement community (CCRC) centrally located in the San Gabriel Valley, less than 30 minutes from Los Angeles, Anaheim, Pasadena, and San Bernardino and at the gateway to the Inland Empire.

New Jersey’s Save Long Beach Island Sues NOAA for Failure to Protect Migration Corridor of Critically Endangered North Atlantic Right Whale
LONG BEACH ISLAND, N.J., May 7, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Save Long Beach Island (Save LBI), a nonprofit, non-partisan organization dedicated to protecting our oceans from needless industrialization, along with other concerned parties, filed suit against the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to compel the agency to act on a 2025 petition intended to protect the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale (NARW).
Image caption: The critically endangered North Atlantic right whale. Credit: Save LBI (generated with AI tools).
With a population that has dwindled dramatically in recent years, the magnificent right whale is inching perilously close to extinction as it faces a number of ongoing threats. Save LBI filed the petition a year ago on March 31, 2025 requesting NOAA to designate the whale’s primary historic migration corridor a “critical habitat” under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The corridor identified in the Petition [media.fisheries.noaa.gov/2025-05/NARW-Petition-March-31-2025-508-.pdf] is based on the observation of historical whale migration and the location of its prey.
Notwithstanding multiple follow-up letters, NOAA has not acted on the request, despite the mandated 90-day deadline for doing so. “The deadline for response from the Agency has long since passed so we must go to court,” said Thomas Stavola, Jr., attorney handling the action. “This lawsuit compels NOAA to fulfill its legal duty to consider Save Long Beach Island’s critical habitat petition.”
The primary historic migration corridor designation would require federal agencies to ensure that actions they authorize, fund, or carry out are not likely to destroy or adversely modify the corridor, which is essential to the whale’s migration and survival. It would, in effect, create a vital “missing link” between critical habitats NOAA designated in 1994, and later expanded, to protect the right whale’s feeding grounds off the coast of Maine (and New England) and its calving and nursery grounds off the coast of Georgia and South Carolina. No habitat protections currently exist between these areas in the far north and south, putting the whale’s survival at great risk.
“Only about 380 North Atlantic right whales are believed to remain, which means every preventable impact matters,” explained Denise Boccia, Save LBI Board Member and the primary architect of the petition. “Protecting their connected and continuous primary migration corridor as critical habitat is the most direct, science-based tool we have to keep this species from sliding into extinction.”
WHAT A CRITICAL HABITAT DESIGNATION WOULD DO
If NOAA designates the NARW’s primary historic migration corridor as critical habitat, federal agencies would be required to:
- Evaluate impacts of major projects—such as large-scale offshore industrial development—on the miles-wide corridor itself.
- Avoid actions that are likely to destroy or appreciably degrade the whale’s migratory corridor, including activities that create wide-ranging elevated levels of underwater noise across the corridor or appreciably alter the availability of its prey.
A critical habitat designation would deter wind-energy development in lease areas—such as the Atlantic Shores South and North areas off the coast of southern New Jersey—that were unwisely positioned in the whale’s primary migration corridor. Save LBI’s detailed analysis of operational noise from wind-energy complexes (summarized in the Addendum below) reveals that noise from operating wind turbines extends for miles where it remains above levels that disturb the whale’s behavior. “Consequently, those projects could adversely and appreciably affect the miles-wide migration corridor itself and not only seriously impair, but potentially block, the whale’s essential annual migration,” said Save LBI President Bob Stern, a Ph.D. scientist and former manager of the Office of National Environmental Policy Act Affairs for the U.S. Department of Energy.
WHAT THE DESIGNATION WOULD NOT DO
Despite what NOAA has said regarding prior, similar designations, a critical habitat designation for the NARW migration corridor would not:
- Regulate or restrict vessel traffic: The areas NOAA designates for lower vessel speeds are governed through separate authorities and processes and based on the presence of whales. Whether those areas are labeled critical habitat or not has no bearing on those restrictions.
- Regulate or restrict commercial or recreational fishing: The designation has no effect on private or state-sanctioned fishing. Federal fishing gear regulations and related measures are governed through separate authorities and processes based on perceived impacts to the whale itself. Any additional measures based on the critical habitat designation would require a separate determination that fishing is likely to destroy or adversely and appreciably modify the miles-wide migration corridor itself, which is not a plausible argument.

—ADDENDUM: SAVE LBI ESTIMATED NOISE RANGES—
Summary: The Extent of Behavior-Disturbing Noise from Offshore Wind Energy Complexes
Save LBI’s calculations of the noise from wind-turbine complexes proposed in the New York Bight (an area that extends from the southern tip of Cape May, New Jersey, to the southeastern coast of New York’s Long Island) showed that sound levels exceeding the whale’s behavioral disturbance threshold, represented by the red lines in the illustration, extend through the wind complex and for miles from its perimeter (the green line represents all known migration paths, which is wider than the closer-to-shore primary historic migration corridor identified in the petition).
Image caption: A section of the right whale migration corridor off the coast of New Jersey. Credit: Save LBI.
Some straight-forward math leads to the same conclusion. During wind-turbine construction, noise source levels from pile driving are on the order of 240 decibels (dB). A significant reduction of about 80 dB is necessary to reduce those noise levels to NOAA’s “impulsive-noise behavioral disturbance threshold” of 160 dB. For turbine operation, the aggregate noise source level from a typical complex is about 200 dB, which would also have to be reduced by around 80 dB to meet NOAA’s lower “continuous-noise behavioral disturbance threshold” of 120 dB.
Because both cases require essentially the same 80 dB reduction in noise level, the distances over which sound must travel to drop to acceptable behavioral thresholds is similar. Numerous acoustic analyses conducted by the wind-energy projects have shown that pile-driving noise remains above the acceptable impulsive noise levels for a number of miles beyond the source. So those same multiple-mile ranges are needed to reduce the continuous operational noise generated by the wind complex to the acceptable continuous level, as shown by the red lines in the illustration. Such long distances of elevated noise level create a noise barrier to migration and degrade the viability of the migration corridor itself.

New Book ‘The Super Seeders: How Plant Scientists Are Racing to Protect Global Food Security Amid Climate Change and Disease’ Explores the Hidden Global Revolution in Food Security
KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 7, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Author and entrepreneur Miles Hillmann announces the release of his new book, “The Super Seeders: How Plant Scientists Are Racing to Protect Global Food Security Amid Climate Change and Disease” (ISBN: 978-1834188355, released May 2, 2026 by Tellwell Publishing), a deeply researched and compelling account of the global scientific effort to safeguard the world’s food supply through advances in plant genetics, breeding, and genomic science.
Image caption: New Book ‘The Super Seeders: How Plant Scientists Are Racing to Protect Global Food Security Amid Climate Change and Disease.’
In “The Super Seeders: How Plant Scientists Are Racing to Protect Global Food Security Amid Climate Change and Disease,” Hillmann draws on first-hand accounts from scientists, breeders, and gene bank curators working at the forefront of agricultural innovation. The book traces the interconnected systems that underpin modern food security—from global gene banks preserving rare crop diversity, to international research centres and treaties enabling the exchange of genetic material, to the plant breeders translating scientific breakthroughs into resilient, high-yielding crops for farmers worldwide.
At the heart of the book is a pressing global challenge: climate change, population growth, emerging crop diseases, and geopolitical instability are placing unprecedented strain on global food systems. As noted by World Food Prize Laureate Dr. Geoff Hawtin OBE, over 2 billion people currently lack access to sufficient and nutritious food, making agricultural innovation more urgent than ever.
Hillmann’s work highlights how plant geneticists are using rapidly advancing genomic technologies to unlock hidden traits within crops—developing varieties that are more drought-tolerant, disease-resistant, and productive. The book also explores how innovations from the Green Revolution to modern gene editing have shaped today’s agricultural landscape, while acknowledging that crop yield gains are now plateauing and new scientific approaches are essential.
A central question raised throughout the book is whether this genetic and technological revolution in agriculture will reach the 70 percent of Africans who still depend on subsistence farming—an issue that may determine the future of global food security itself.
“This book is based on the voices and experiences of the scientists, curators, and breeders who are quietly reshaping agriculture from the ground up,” said Hillmann. “Their work is not theoretical—it is about ensuring that people everywhere can continue to eat in a changing and uncertain world.”
Endorsements highlight the book’s scientific clarity and global relevance. Dr. Geoff Hawtin OBE describes it as a “captivating book” that both explains the science behind critical agricultural innovations and celebrates the people driving them forward. Plant molecular biologist Professor Mark Guiltinan praises the book as “a timely, deeply researched, and compellingly readable account” that connects the molecular science of plant genetics with the human systems required to turn innovation into impact.
Garry Kuhn, agronomy and fertilizer industry specialist, reflects on the evolution of modern agriculture, noting that while conventional plant breeding drove the Green Revolution, today’s yield plateaus and disease pressures require continued innovation in plant genetics and crop science.
