Remembering Yarnell 19 KMIR Kitty Alvarado Coachella Valley Region -The Granite Mountain Hotshots, were an elite team of wildland firefighters from Arizona. Video of the crew moments before they battle Yarnell Hill fire in 2013, shows them overlooking the blaze.

They were trained and ready, then the winds shifted ...

Radio communications captured their last words: Granite Mountain Hotshots, we are in front of the flaming front ... our escape

route has been cut off.

The 19 were surrounded by flames and trapped in a canyon ... all 19 died. Two of them were from Southern California.

Christopher Mackenzie, just 30-years-old, was from Hemet.

Cal Fire Battalion Chief Bonifacio De La Cruz still remembers where he was when heard the tragic news, “There was a group of us when we heard, and obviously, we were all astonished to lose one member of a fire service family, regardless of

agency is heartbreaking but to lose a whole crew of 19 is even almost difficult if not impossible to fathom.”

He and Captain Fernado Herrera have over 60 years of combined experience fighting fires. They know how fierce and unpredictable wildfires can be.

“You could be in a situation where it’s calm, the fire’s not doing anything and all of a sudden there could be a wind shift or a gust of wind that came of nowhere and now it’s an inferno behind you or to the

side of you,” says Herrera.

But despite the dangers all they think about is doing the task at hand.

“Whether we’re saving a life of somebody having a heart attack, or we’re fighting a wildland fire or we’re cutting somebody out of a vehicle, we do the job as best as we can as best as we can.”

“And if it takes your life to do that?” I ask.

“If it takes my life to do that and I have to rescue someone in order for someone else

to live then that’s the price that I’ll have to pay,” answers Herrera with no hesitation.

That’s the answer firefighters always give.

“It’s part of our job we inherit danger when we enter this profession,” says Herrera.

That’s part of what creates a bond among heroes.

“For us in the fire service to lose our brothers and sisters a tragic loss, it stays in our memories, it stays in our hearts, we’ll always remember them. Source: KMIR

Rancho Mirage Boys’ Basketball Team Compete In Big Island Invitational

BY KMIR News Aloha! That’s what the Rattlers were saying when they landed in Hawaii on Tuesday for the Big Island Invitational.

Rancho Mirage is the only mainland team competing in the tournament which is made up of 9 varsity teams from around the Big Island.

How did Rancho Mirage land in this tournament?

Rattlers boy’s basketball head coach Rob Hanmer said local referees have been asking him to bring a team to the tournament for the

past 20 years and he felt the time was finally right.

While there, the guys are exploring the island. A zip lining tour was just one of the many activities on the to do list. The team has been enjoying the beautiful beaches and went snorkeling.

Some well-deserved fun for the Rattlers as the team won their third straight De Anza League championship this past season after going undefeated in league play.

As the saying goes, work hard play hard. Source: KMIR

Advocates: Your Gas Heater is Contributing to Climate Change

By Desert Star Staff SACRAMENTO, Calif. - If you’re interested in reducing your carbon footprint, conservation advocates say one good way is to replace your natural gas-fueled water heater, stove or pool pump with one that runs on electricity.

The advocates are pushing state agencies to take action over the next few weeks.

Rachel Golden, Oaklandbased senior campaign representative for the Sierra Club, said people don’t realize how much methane is released by leaks in gas appliances in homes and buildings in this state.

“The greenhouse-gas emissions from residential and commercial gas appliances, on an annual basis, leak more

methane than the entire Aliso Canyon blowout,” she said.

New electric water heaters cost a bit more than low-end gas appliances but are three to four times as efficient, so you’ll save on your utility bills. Seventy-five percent of California’s residential and commercial buildings use gas for water heating and space heating, but Golden said California can’t meet its climate goals without moving away from natural gas, which is a fossil fuel, toward using more electricity, which can be generated by clean energy such as wind and solar.

Golden said the Sierra Club’s My Generation program is asking California’s Air Resources Board to include incentives for electrification in

its new scoping plan, which is set to be released in July.

“We want the Air Resources Board to establish the state’s first greenhouse-gas reduction goal for residential and commercial buildings,” she said, “and call on state agencies to establish an action plan to achieve that goal to a similar level that we see today in electric vehicles and renewables.”

Advocates also have asked an administrative law judge to require the California Public Utilities Commission to consider offering rebates for people and companies to switch from electric to gas appliances, as they do for buying more efficient gas models. A decision from the judge is expected soon.

Environmental advocates say leaks from gas water heaters are a major source of greenhouse-gas emissions in California. (Donnie B/Morguefile)

sure that the science is actually good and that we understand exactly what those impacts will be,” he said, “because there’s a lot at stake here.” (The bill will be heard in the Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee next Tues., July 11.)

A bill in the California Legislature would provide more oversight for a potential water pumping project in the Mojave Desert. (Bob Wick/Bureau of Land Management) July 6, 2017 SACRAMENTO, Calif. – A bill introduced Wednesday in the California Legislature aims to protect water resources in

the state’s deserts. Assembly member Laura Friedman, D-Glendale, introduced Assembly Bill 1000, known as the California Desert Protection Act, to strengthen safeguards for desert groundwater so that water transfers don’t negatively impact natural or cultural resources. David Lamfrom, the California deserts director for the National Parks Conservation Association, said the bill came at the right time because the Mojave Desert is facing urgent threats. “Those include the Cadiz project, which stands to pump at least 16 billion gallons of water a year and to ship it out of the California desert,” Lamfrom said. “And we’re also concerned about the impact that having, really, a loophole in water policy, what that could mean for the California desert moving forward.” The Trump administration recently paved the way for the Cadiz Water Project to move forward without a federal environmental review. The project to extract and export water from Mojave Desert aquifers and sell the water to Southern Californians has raised serious concerns that it could deplete desert springs vital to wildlife there.

export water from Mojave Desert aquifers and sell the water to Southern Californians has raised serious concerns that it could deplete desert springs vital to wildlife there.

Frazier Haney, conservation director for the Mojave Desert Land Trust, said the Cadiz project faced an uphill battle during the Obama administration but has found a clearer path to approval under the new president.

He pointed to Donald Trump’s nomination of David Berhardt, a lobbyist for Cadiz, for the number two position in the Department of the Interior as one example of the president’s ties to the project.

“There are deep financial ties to people that Donald Trump has nominated to his Cabinet and the Cadiz water pumping project,” Haney said. “So, it’s troubling that an administration with financial ties to a project could be pushing a project along.”

Lamfrom said even

by Cadiz’s calculations, its water extraction project isn’t sustainable. He said if the federal government won’t provide better oversight of this project, California should.

Local Couple Hit By “Grandson Scam” KMIR Vince Marino Coachella Valley Region - Local couple Richard and Natalie, who have asked not be identified by their full name, lost more than $9,000 dollars after falling for what is being called the “Grandson Scam.”

Richard and Natalie were at home one Sunday when they got a phone call.

“It was a private caller and normally I don’t respond to those but something told me I should respond to it. And I picked up the phone,” said Richard.

The person on

the line claimed to be Richard’s grandson.

“I said ‘you don’t sound like yourself.’ He said, ‘Well I have a bad cold.” said Richard.

While posing as Richard’s grandson, the scammer told him that he was in jail for a DUI arrest and begged him not to tell his parents. A second man comes on the phone claiming to be a public defender named Paul Mercen who gave Richard specific directions.

“He said you have to go to the Best Buy Store and purchase three separate gift cards each for fifteen hundred July 7, 2017

dollars,” Richard said.

The scammer said the public defenders office reached and agreement with Best Buy that allows for gift cards as payment. At the time, the retired physician didn’t think anything of it.

“There were five flags along the way I should have picked up on,” said Richard.

But when it comes to their grandson, there is little they won’t do. The scammer kept coming up with stories about why he needed more gift cards and after going to best buy for the third time,

Richard got the bad news.

“The manager comes out and says, ‘Sir, you have been scammed.’ I said, ‘no I have not been scammed.’

He said, ‘you have been scammed. This is a common thing we are aware of it. You have been scammed.”

A feeling they wont soon forget.

“It is violation. It is violation into your life. How do you live in this world like this?”

Petitioners Gather Signatures for Wash. Version of ‘Bathroom Bill’

By Desert Star Staff SEATTLE -- Petitioners have one more day to collect signatures for an initiative that would allow people to use only bathrooms designated for the gender they were assigned at birth.

Initiative 1552 would repeal the Washington Human Rights Commission’s 2015 rule that guaranteed people access to bathrooms and locker rooms for the gender with which they identify. Opponents say I-1552 would reinstate discrimination against transgender Washingtonians, and compare it to the “bathroom bill” passed in North Carolina in 2016.

The group Just Want Privacy, which introduced I-1552, said it aims to keep Washingtonians safe. Heather Weiner, spokeswoman for Washington Won’t Discriminate, said she supports that goal.

“Unfortunately, rather than actually addressing things that

would make people more safe in public restrooms, it instead singles out one group for discrimination and increases fear and misunderstanding about what it means to be transgender,” Weiner said.

Washington Won’t Discriminate has started its own petition to oppose the initiative.

I-1552 needs about 260,000 signatures by Friday to be on the November ballot.

According to Just Want Privacy’s website, that petition had more than 180,000 signatures as of June 30.

Just Want Privacy gathered signatures for a similar initiative last year, but failed to gather enough.

The movement for transgender equality has taken two big hits nationally since President Trump took office. First, the Supreme Court declined to hear a case from a transgender high school student in Virginia

Trump also rolled back Obama-era rules protecting transgender students.

But Weiner said opponents of I-1552 recently got an unlikely ally.

“One of the things that’s really interesting and exciting is the fact that a former state Republican party chair, Chris Vance, this weekend came out against 1552. I think that’s just amazing,” she said. “So, I would definitely highlight that.”

Weiner also praised the work of organizations such as Transform Washington, which offers stories from transgender Washingtonians in order to cut through some of the misconceptions about their community.

Disney Fun—’Cars 3’ & ‘Beauty & The Beast’ on DVD’

It’s summertime, a time for family fun, so buckle up your seatbelts and race to see “Cars 3” at the El Capitan Theatre. What makes it so special at the El Capitan is their fast-paced, high-energy extreme dance battle on stage prior to the film which features athletic feats, BMX freestyle and LED imagery. This show is a Wow! The experience at the El Capitan is further enhanced by their brilliant Dolby Vision Laser projection and Dolby Atmos audio technology.

The lovely theatre, built in the 1920s, was originally created for stage productions prior to its conversion to film for the world premiere of Orson Welles’ “Citizen Kane.” The Disney Studios restored this beautiful landmark theatre which has now been declared

www.desertstarweekly.com

an historic monument. Just looking around this beautiful cinema palace is a treat. And it is possible to take a tour of the theatre early in the morning between 8:30 and 10 am prior to the first show. For more information on tours or show tickets call the theater at 1-800-347-6396 or visit www.elcapitantickets.com.

Also check out the “Cars 3” Hard-Rock Cafe movie and meal combination packages.

Tax and tip are included in the price. The El Capitan Theatre is located at 6838 Hollywood Blvd.in Hollywood.

“Cars” first drove onto the screen about ten years ago when Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) began his now-legendary career under the watchful eyes of Doc, the fabulous Hudson Hornet

(voiced by Paul Newman). Doc is now gone to automotive heaven, but his memory lives on for his protege McQueen.

However, time has finally taken its toll on Lightning as he now races against a new generation of speedsters, led by the confident and very arrogant Jackson Storm (Armie Hammer), dubbed number one

by TV analyst Natalie Certain (Kerry Washington). After several losses and a speedway mishap, McQueen is sent back to Radiator Springs for R & R. To improve his racing speeds he is paired with an eager young race technician, Cruz Ramirez (Cristela Alonzo), who once had dreams of becoming a racer herself.

With a little help from his friends and Cruz, Lightning starts his training. Eventually, he no longer wants to follow her advice, but despite his resistance Cruz continues to work with him. But what really shakes them both up is their involuntary entry in a Demolition Derby where they come bumper to bumper with a terrifying school bus determined to destroy them both. That bus and her scary ways are a

July 7, 2017

hilarious highpoint of this story.

In the past, all the cars in this Disney-Pixar franchise were male, but this latest version is girl friendly and endearing with the addition of the lovable Cruz and her involvement with Number 95, Lightning McQueen. And the story works well on several levels.

Adults will relate to McQueen’s fear of impending retirement and the loss of a career he loves, while little girls will be pleased to see that if you try hard, you can succeed in a man’s world. This charming, funny, fast-paced adventure is rated G. Now at the El Capitan Theatre and citywide.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $394,671.50 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property.

California bill to create sanctuary state passes key legislative hurdle

By Desert Star Staff Legislation that would protect undocumented immigrants in California by severely limiting cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities has been cleared by the State Assembly’s Judiciary Committee.

Senate Bill 54 (SB 54), or the ‘California Values Act,’ intends to prevent California police from helping the “Trump Deportation Machine,” said California State Senate leader Kevin de Leon, who introduced the measure.

“Under constitutional threats from the reckless Trump administration, SB 54 protects state and local law enforcement and resources necessary to keep our communities safe,” De Leon said. “ICE is out to arrest and deport honest, hard-working parents who obey the laws and pay their taxes and owe allegiance to

the red, white and blue.”

The proposed legislation received support from the Los Angeles Police Department, which says it needs the immigrant community’s trust to effectively investigate crimes, by ensuring witnesses and victims will not be arrested and deported just for cooperating with law enforcement.

Meanwhile, sheriff’s unions and the California Police Chiefs Association oppose the bill, saying it would protect criminals.

“SB 54 would result in many dangerous criminal offenders being released to our streets without proper communication and cooperation with immigration authorities,” said Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown, also president of the California Sheriffs Association.

Under the proposed legislation, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents would be prohibited

from entering county jails, unless they have a warrant.

The bill would only allow communication between state and federal authorities on undocumented immigrants convicted of “serious crimes.”

Despite a May 25 raid in which ICE agents arrested 188 illegal immigrants in Los Angeles, total numbers of arrests of illegal immigrants are relatively flat in California and somewhat lower than during the Obama administration, according to US immigration officials

cited by Courthouse News.

Many of those arrested in the May 25 raids had ties to El Salvadoran prison gangs such as MS-13, the outlet reports. About 90 percent had previous criminal records for a variety of crimes, including drug offenses, domestic violence, DUI, sex crimes, battery, weapons violations, assault, burglary, fraud, vehicle theft, arson, cruelty to a child, robbery, obstructing justice, property damage, larceny, escape, manslaughter, prostitution, trespassing, incest, and receipt of stolen property.

Under SB 54, very few of these individuals would be transferred to ICE after serving time for convictions since the measure specifies “serious felonies” – which does not include most of the crimes precipitating the May 25 raids, according to Courthouse News.Before reaching a vote on the Assembly floor, the bill would have to be approved by one more committee.

If eventually signed into law, it could get tied up in conflicting federal laws.

In May, the Department of Justice identified 10 jurisdictions in the country as having policies that potentially violate a federal law – 8

U.S.C. 1373 – which prohibits local and state governments and agencies from enacting laws or policies that limit communication with ICE about “information regarding the immigration or citizenship status” of individuals, and said that the jurisdictions must prove compliance or face cuts in federal aid.

On Thursday, the DOJ issued an update saying that the 10 “potential sanctuary jurisdictions” have, as required, sent their legal analysis of how they are in compliance with the law, and the department is in the process of reviewing the information.

“Sanctuary cities put the lives and well-being of their residents at risk by shielding criminal illegal aliens from federal immigration authorities. These policies give sanctuary to criminals, not to law-abiding Americans,” said Attorney General Jeff Sessions in the statement.

On June 30, the House passed a bill known as the ‘No Sanctuary for Criminals Act,’ which would withhold federal grant money from “sanctuary” jurisdictions that refuse to comply with federal immigration enforcement requests.

Porsche unveils the most powerful street-legal 911 model of all time

By Desert Star Staff ATLANTA, -- The fastest and most powerful street-legal 911 model ever is ready for launch: The new 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS is celebrating its official world premiere at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK from June 30th to July 2nd. At the heart of this high-performance sports car is a 700-horsepower twin-turbo flat-six engine. Weighing in at 3,241 pounds with a full tank of fuel, the lightweight twoseater accelerates from zero to 60 miles per hour in 2.7 seconds. The new 911 GT2 RS can reach a top track speed of 211 miles per hour, and it surpasses the 2011 911 GT2 RS by 80 horsepower. The 2018 911 GT2 RS delivers 553 lb.-ft. of torque, an increase of 37 lb.-ft. compared to the previous 911 GT2 RS. The 3.8-liter engine in the GT2 RS is based on the power plant found in the current 911 Turbo S model. In order to increase performance further, larger turbochargers push an increased volume of air into

with the new GT model.

Race-bred chassis for exceptional cornering: The 2018 911 GT2 RS has exceptional dry grip thanks to its race-bred chassis with rear axle steering and Ultra High Performance (UHP) tires. The stability management system is tuned for spirited driving in the new 911 GT2 RS. The PSM can be deactivated in two stages using the ESC OFF and ESC+TC OFF functions. Large air intakes and outlets and the striking rear wing underscore the emphasis on aerodynamics and down-force. The large, wide wheels with 265/35 ZR 20 tires at the front and 325/30 ZR 21 tires at the rear help ensure outstanding braking and cornering potential. The 911 GT2 RS features Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) as standard. The front fenders, wheel housing vents, outer shells on the Sport Design exterior mirrors, air intakes on the rear quarter panels, and parts of the rear are made from carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP),

the combustion chambers. A new additional cooling system delivers optimum cooling at peak loads by spraying water on the intercoolers when the intake air temperature reaches a determined threshold. This reduces the inlet temperature under boost and allows for optimum power output, even under extreme conditions.

The customized GT sevenspeed double-clutch Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission in the new GT2 RS enables maximum efficiency with uninterrupted torque transfer. The specially developed lightweight titanium exhaust system weighs around 15 pounds less than the system used in the 911 Turbo and delivers a particularly emotional sound.

Porsche Design is celebrating the debut of this very special high-performance sports car by releasing a special-issue watch. Offering a nod to the world of motorsport, the Porsche Design 911 GT2 RS watch is exclusively available to owners of the new vehicle and can only be ordered in conjunction

as are many of the interior components. The front luggage compartment lid is also made from carbon fiber to make the vehicle as light as possible, while the standard roof panel is made from magnesium. Both of these body panels feature a visible recess in the center, a design element previously used on the 2016 911 GT3 RS. Optional Weissach package saves 40 pounds of weight: The optional Weissach package reduces weight by nearly 40 pounds, further enhancing the vehicle dynamics of the 911 GT2 RS. The package includes magnesium wheels and numerous elements made of carbon fiber. For instance, with this optional package, the roof and anti-roll bars are made of carbon fiber, as are the end links on both axles. The 911 GT2 RS forged magnesium wheels reduce both overall and unsprung weight by over 25 pounds, complementing the vehicle’s handling characteristics. When equipped with the Weissach Package, the carbon fiber weave of the luggage compartment lid

and the roof are left largely exposed, and are painted with a centrally placed decorative strip in the vehicle color for a distinctive look. The Weissach package is optionally available with an MSRP of $31,000.

A truly sporty interior: The interior of the 911 GT2 RS is dominated by red Alcantara®, black leather, and carbon fiber trim pieces as standard.

The GT2 RS Sport steering

control unit for audio, navigation, and communication.

Porsche Connect Plus and the Porsche Track Precision app are also included as standard, enabling detailed recording, display, and analysis of driving data on a smartphone.

The optional Chrono Package expands the PCM functions to include a performance display, which can be used to display, save, and evaluate lap times. The package also includes a stopwatch on the dashboard featuring an analog and digital display. The Chrono Package on the 911 GT2 RS also provides preparation for the lap trigger available from Porsche Tequipment. When using the Porsche Track Precision app in conjunction with the infrared transmitter placed at the side of the track, the lap trigger receiver enables drivers to record lap times with a higher level of precision.

certificate of authenticity.

The flyback function is inspired by motorsport and represents a special feature of the Porsche Design GT2 RS watch. On a traditional chronograph, the buttons must be pressed three times in order to measure consecutive time intervals: The first press stops the chronograph, the second resets it, and the third restarts the measuring process. On chronographs with a flyback function, these processes happen automatically and in rapid succession. The stop function and the ongoing time display are clearly separated using yellow markings. Many of the details on the timepiece are based on the design details of the GT2 RS. The tungsten winding rotor is modeled after the rims of the 911 GT2 RS. The clock face is made of carbon fiber, while the design of the time display matches the instrument cluster and the tachometer. The 911 GT2 RS and its watch counterpart are exclusively available at authorized Porsche dealers worldwide. The vehicle and watch are produced and customized in line with each customer’s wishes and are delivered together.

Pricing and availability: The 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS model is available to order with a base MSRP of $293,200, excluding the $1,050 delivery, processing and handling fee. It will reach U.S. dealers in early 2018.
