Bobcats bring home wrestling championship Diane Sieker ANZAEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Diane Sieker ANZAEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The 2018 Arrowhead League Wrestling Finals hosted by Hamilton High School delivered nonstop excitement and thrills on the afternoon of Wednesday, Feb. 7. The Hamilton Bobcats became team champions for the third consecutive year.

Hamilton had nine wrestlers out of 10 competing to qualify for a spot to move on to the CIF championships. Eight of the students competed in the finals with four coming out as champions – seniors Juan Lopez, Nolan Grant and Owen Vargas and junior Isaac Lanik were all successful in their matches.

Runners up include seniors Daniel Raymond and Jose Perez and juniors Michael Rozzo and Jesse Lewis. The last qualifier with a third place finish was freshman Gavin Davies.

The nine wrestlers qualify for the CIF Southern section individual tournament, Feb. 16-17, at Oak Hills High School in Hesperia.

“Most of our boys wrestled as expected, but one of them really shined in our eyes,” Coach Juan Lopez said. “That would be Gavin Davies who won more matches this evening than he did all season. He has faced varsity level competition all year and taken a lot of beatings but still worked hard every single day. Talk about perseverance. Wow! We coaches are so proud of him.”

Contestants participating in the Second Annual Mudfest drag races on Saturday, Feb. 17, will get down and dirty with their finely-tuned, mud-bogging machines, earning trophies and prizes for the fastest times down the slimy track. see page A-3

Supervisor criticizes sheriff on financial, other issues RIVERSIDE – A hearing Tuesday, Feb. 6, on spending in the current fiscal year and the prospect of future deficits turned into a platform for Riverside County Supervisor John Tavaglione to belittle the leadership of Sheriff Stan Sniff, who was not present, suggesting that the veteran lawman was incapable of making the sheriff’s department a “more efficient” agency.

Sage woman and her Friesian horses offer unique photo opportunities Diane Sieker ANZAEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

As a young girl, Celia Capps had a dream. She fell in love with a unique and rare breed of equine, the noble Friesian horse.

“I’ve been interested in Friesians as far back as I can remember,” Capps said. “Like most, I was first drawn to them watching their grace, movement and unbelievable beauty. For years I read about how the breed developed and how they came back from the brink of extinction.”

The big, jet-black animals sport silky “feathers” on their legs and long, thick manes and tails that flow with the rhythmic, high-stepping gaits for which they are famous.

These horses were brought to the public’s attention in such movies as “Zorro,” “Clash of the Titans,” “300,” “The Chronicles of Narnia,” One of Celia Capps’ talented Friesian horses photographed by Kimbers Photography.

Second annual ‘Mudfest’ set to roar into Anza Diane Sieker ANZAEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM Contestants participating in the second annual Mudfest drag races Saturday, Feb. 17, will get down and dirty with their finely tuned, mud-bogging machines, earning trophies and prizes for the fastest times down the slimy track.

Dirt bikes, quads, SUVs, Jeeps, RZRs, 4x4s – and not – pickup trucks, buggies and sand rails will have the crowds howling encouragement and advice as they fight to survive the 120-foot, slop-filled course. Enthusiasm for the event is intense, and spectators will get a show they will never forget.

“One year ago I had an idea to bring some excitement back to our small town,” organizer Johnathan Schmidt of Schmidt Ranch

Services said. “We raced monster trucks, sand rails, RZRs, dirt bikes and even work trucks and mommy wagons. It was a great day, and I made so many new friends. I can’t wait to see you all out there this weekend.”

Sponsored by Schmidt’s Ranch Services, Rodney Bourgeois Pump Service and Southern California Buzztail Preservation, the grimy event will be held on a specially made track on the property located at the corner of Kirby and Wellman in Anza. The entry is well-marked, and access is easy to navigate. The weather is predicted to be pleasant and mild with no chance of rain, but the track will be saturated with ooze, sludge and muck – rain or shine.

“This track is a real mess with some big surprises, so every-

one better bring their ‘A’ game.”

Schmidt said.

A hearty challenge awaits the racers, and the buzz around town is that last year’s winner Roddy Bourgeois will have even more serious competition this year.

Track development and testing was undertaken the preceding week, and the track was declared ready for the event.

Overnight camping opens Friday, Feb. 16, and racing starts 2 p.m. Saturday until all the contestants are to compete. Camping fees are $25 per space, race entry is $25 and spectators are $10, with children under 12 admitted free.

Food vendors and booths will also be featured at the event.

“All proceeds get donated to worthy causes,” Schmidt said.

“This year our cause is a little girl’s

WRESTLING from page A-1 acknowledged all the sponsors for their generous contributions so the team could make the Arrowhead League Finals tournament.

“We would like to thank Northstar sports from Lake Riverside and Heritage Well Services for the kind donations that went toward our new time clocks,” Lopez said. “We would also like to recognize the Salazar family for building our new podiums, the Canchola family for their thoughtful donation and our amazing anonymous donations that were dropped off in the collection box at the Circle K. Thank you. We couldn’t have done it without our sponsors.”

SCULPTURES from page A-1 and questions about how they are created at the garden.

Entertainment by western singer and artist Michael Thomas, Latin music by Luciano Gherardi and Mariachis continue throughout the weekend to the delight of the visitors.

Showing off their oil and acrylic creations were artists from Temecula and the surrounding areas that set up their easels for the weekend gaining inspiration from the Breceda creations that leave little to the imagination.

Mario Gomez, one of the Breceda tin sculpture artists, explained how the creations are all made of tin, molded into shape and welded together to form – pretty much anything and everything under the sun. One of the latest tin creations standing almost 10 feet tall gleamed in the sunlight on the hill above the garden next to the inviting straw covered gazebo was a tin dog destined for the Cabazon Outlet that is celebrating the Chinese Year of the Dog. Breceda and his crew sculpt tin creations to order for individuals, businesses or organizations. Many of his works can be seen along the highways in Anza Borrego State Park and in front of area businesses.

Lianna Arroyo, Breceda’s daughter and marketing manager, said the open houses have been very successful and they are hoping to have one every quarter with the next one scheduled for the second weekend in August.

Visitors are always welcome at the garden located at 44450 Highway 79 in Aguanga, said Breceda. For information call (951) 236-5896 or visit www.ricardobreceda.com.

Metal sculptor Ricardo Breceda creates many different sculptures where the natural process of rust finishes the surface of the work of art.

Metal sculpture artist Ricardo Breceda holds an open house event at his outdoor gallery in Aguanga, Feb. 10-11. Breceda is known for creating large metal sculptures of dinosaurs and animals that are displayed in outdoor settings.

Supervisor criticizes sheriff on financial, other issues RIVERSIDE – A hearing Tuesday, Feb. 6, on spending in the current fiscal year and the prospect of future deficits turned into a platform for Riverside County Supervisor John Tavaglione to belittle the leadership of Sheriff Stan Sniff, who was not present, suggesting that the veteran lawman was incapable of making the sheriff’s department a “more efficient” agency.

“Our elected sheriff is living in the 20th century,” Tavaglione said.

“He is unable to manage his organization in an effective way. The sheriff is sitting back, like a child, and continues to demand more funds that we don’t have. We keep telling him that, over and over like a broken record. It’s the damn truth.”

Sniff did not immediately respond to City News Service’s request for comment.

Tavaglione became angry when Supervisor Kevin Jeffries began questioning the actual size and breadth of anticipated spending increases in the 2018-2019 fiscal year and beyond. Jeffries expressed concern that the executive office was not fully detailing how pension costs, inmate health care expenses and a bevy of other obligations, in total, would impact the county’s

financial stability.

The questions were raised as Chief Financial Officer Don Kent presented a rough overview of the county’s financial strengths and weaknesses in 2017-2018 in the midyear budget report. As is routinely the case, public safety operations were cited as the most exposed to red ink.

“Our biggest challenge is the sheriff’s department,” Jeffries said.

“The board and sheriff are going to have to agree on a floor (for cuts to staffing.) We’re going to have to reach a consensus because we’re on a path now that’s not working for anybody.”

The sheriff began 2017-2018 nearly $30 million in the hole. Sniff and his staff told the executive office they’re trying to contain costs through attrition – or not replacing personnel when they retire, resign or are dismissed. However, that’s leaving fewer deputies for patrol operations, mainly in unincorporated communities, and existing personnel are incurring high amounts of overtime taking up the slack, according to the sheriff.

The midyear report noted the sheriff’s strong desire to end “further degradation in staffing levels” and seek “appropriate funding to

repair damage to the public safety net that has already taken place.”

Last month, Sniff dismissed the work of professional services firm KPMG, which was retained by the county at a cost of $40 million to net out efficiencies and achieve lower costs in multiple agencies, but particularly public safety. A memo released by the sheriff’s department characterized KPMG’s revised patrol schedules and response protocols at the sheriff’s Hemet station as “a failed test model, less effective and more costly.”

The executive office replied that the KPMG project had proved its worth and was destined to be expanded.

Tavaglione has been an outspoken proponent of KPMG’s work.

He has also endorsed one of Sniff’s opponents in this year’s election – former Hemet police Chief Dave Brown.

“We’ve hired top-notch people to help you find efficiencies,” Tavaglione said, eyeing sheriff’s executive staff sitting in the board chamber. “Who in the hell wouldn’t want to be more efficient? You’re not going to change decades of culture internally. I would tell the sheriff, ‘Stop sitting on your hands and acting like a child.’ The sheriff

fails to take responsibility for his department. Man up and make good decisions for your department. This is a very, very sad situation.”

According to the executive office, the district attorney’s and public defender’s offices are also seeking to shrink multimilliondollar structural spending gaps, while additional cost pressures are building for the Riverside University Health System and the Department of Probation.

District Attorney Mike Hestrin is working to contain a $4.7 million deficit. He said changes in state law, including Propositions 63 and 64, are chewing up staff time and extending workloads, without commensurate funding from the state.

Proposition 63 was a gun-control measure that imposed restrictions on ammunition purchases and some firearms components. Proposition 64 legalized adult use of marijuana.

Public Defender Steve Harmon has a $1.5 million shortfall and is holding off on adding “missionimportant positions” until it’s known whether more money may be available.

The Riverside University Health System, the centerpiece of which is the county hospital in Moreno Valley, is staring into a $15 million

hole in the current fiscal year. According to officials, the hospital is not receiving adequate federal and state reimbursements for indigent care, and detention health care costs – the treatment of inmates – are an increasing burden.

The county is under a federal consent decree to improve physical and psychological health services at a cost of about $44 million a year.

The executive office raised the prospect of a budgetary shortfall in the department of probation, which has managed to solve financial problems through attrition in recent years.

Kent offered a ballpark estimate of nearly $100 million in general additional expenses for the county going into 2018-2019.

One of the bright spots in the budget report included a $27 million cash carry-over from the 20162017 fiscal year that will reduce the claim on reserves, which should end 2017-2018 above $180 million.

The board’s mandated floor is $150 million.

Officials said a “targeted” hiring freeze remains in effect for most departments, requiring agency heads to seek executive office approval before trying to add staff.

Macala Orchards Winter Market offers taste of locally grown virgin olive oils Macala Orchards an award-winning olive and pomegranate grower in the foothills of Sage offered a taste of locally produced healthy virgin olive oil, sweet marmalade and pomegranate jelly and guava juices to visitors at its first Winter Market Saturday, Feb. 5 at its warehouse on Garnet and Newport Roads.

The business that grows organically fed olive, pomegranate and Guava trees for virgin olive oils, pomegranate juices and jams, is owned by Rich and Genie Macaluso. The business continues to grow offering its products in local winter markets and online.

The next Macala Orchard Winter Market will be held March 11 from 1 to 5 p.m. at the warehouse. For information on Macala Orchards virgin olive oil and other products seasonally available visit www. macalacopanies.com or call (714) 305-8589 to order.

Macala Orchards out of Sage offers the first of two winter markets to let area residents have a taste of the family owned olive, guava and pomegranate orchard products. The next winter market will be held Sunday, March 11, at the owners, Rich and Genie Macaluso’s, warehouse at Garnet Lane off Newport Road in Hemet.

California’s rural counties provide laptops to foster youth SACRAMENTO – Rural County Representatives of California and National Homebuyers Fund have joined forces to contribute $400,000 to provide an iFoster laptop computer to all eligible foster youth and former foster youth aged 1621 within RCRC’s 35 member counties.

RCRC and NHF’s boards of directors each approved providing $200,000 to support the “1 Laptop Program for Foster Youth.” Through this one-time contribution, more than 1,100 eligible foster youth and former foster youth in care will receive laptops within RCRC’s 35 member counties.

The “1 Laptop Program for Foster Youth” is run by iFoster, a national nonprofit serving the child welfare community, including formal foster care, guardianship, informal kinship care, transitionage youth and probation. iFoster’s mission is to ensure that every child growing up outside of their biological home has the resources they need to become independent adults and to have access to opportunities to reach their full potential.

The “1 Laptop Program for Foster Youth” is designed for foster youth and former foster youth ages 16-21.

A 2016 study of 730 youth across California who received iFoster computers found that only 5 percent of rural foster youth have consistent access to a computer in their homes, compared to 90 percent of all teens, and 79 percent of lowincome teens, according to the Pew Research Center in 2014. When provided with a computer, 98 percent of youth reported using it on a daily or weekly basis, and statistically significant improvements were found in academic performance, social connectiveness and life satisfaction.

Owning a computer addresses additional challenges for foster youth, including accessing needed resources and the loss or misplacement of important life documents as youth move from placement to placement. The iFoster Transitional

Age Youth Assistant includes a HIPAA compliant secure online digital locker, accessible anywhere, anytime, which is fully integrated into iFoster’s resource portal and programs. Currently, more than 6,600 iFoster transitional age youth members are utilizing the assistant program, resulting in fewer vital documents lost, access to more than 500 needed resources and improved youth support networks. All youth receiving laptops funded by RCRC and NHF will be provided with the assistant program.

“I am proud to be part of two organizations that display overwhelming generosity to Californians in need,” Greg Norton, president and CEO of RCRC and president of NHF, said. “The ‘1 Laptop Program for Foster Youth’ will change the legacy of many of California’s current and former foster youth, providing them with access to essential resources, job training and the connectivity needed to succeed in today’s online world.” iFoster will begin working with local agencies on determining youth eligibility, with a goal of distributing the laptops in 2018.

The Rural County Representatives of California is a 35 member county strong service organization that champions policies on behalf of California’s rural counties. RCRC is dedicated to representing the collective unique interests of its membership, providing legislative and regulatory representation at the state and federal levels and providing responsible services for its members to enhance and protect the quality of life in rural California counties. To learn more about RCRC, visit www.rcrcnet.org and follow @RuralCounties on Twitter.

National Homebuyers Fund is a nonprofit public benefit corporation established in 2002 to stimulate and expand homeownership opportunities nationwide. NHF has helped more than 37,200 individuals or families purchase a home and provided over $316.2 million in down payment assistance.

Nina Morton, Macala Orchards marketing manager and her mother Genie Macaluso show the many healthy virgin olive oils, pomegranate jelly and guava products offered for sale at their first winter market held Saturday, Feb. 5, at their orchard warehouse on Garnet Street and Newport Road in Hemet.

Riverside County Board of Supervisors backs resolution calling for immigration reform RIVERSIDE – After hearing impassioned voices on both sides of the issue, Riverside County supervisors approved a resolution calling on Congress to implement an immigration reform package that paves the way for nearly 1 million undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program to qualify for citizenship.

“I’m trying to advocate comprehensive immigration reform,” Supervisor V. Manuel Perez, who wrote the DACA resolution, with the close support of Supervisor Marion Ashley, said. “I’m about youngsters who are our future ... and I hope they can live out the American dream.”

Perez referred to the roughly 800,000 Central Americans who entered the country under the auspices of former President Barack Obama’s DACA executive order as “dreamers,” a title first applied under previous immigration reform plans that Congress either abandoned or rejected.

The DACA was implemented

by Obama without congressional authority, in what critics derided as a push toward open borders, leading to multiple lawsuits. President Donald Trump in September announced that DACA and its implied protections would be phased out in six months. That deadline is March 5. There are at least half a dozen proposals under consideration on Capitol Hill focused on immigration reform.

About two dozen people addressed the board, roughly split down the middle in favor or opposed to Perez’s resolution, which stresses the need for “legislative solution to DACA that offers opportunities for dreamers to stay in this country ... and contribute by becoming citizens.”

“You should not reward illegal aliens,” Agnes Gibboney said the board ahead of its vote. “They invaded our country. They’ve taken jobs from American citizens. We don’t owe illegal aliens anything.

We owe American citizens everything.”

Gibboney held up a photograph of her only son, Ronald da Silva, who she said was gunned down by an “illegal immigrant felon,” Luis Gonzales, in El Monte in 2002.

Judi Neal said support for Perez’s resolution was equal to “discriminating against lawabiding citizens.”

“I don’t want my taxes going to anybody but law-abiding citizens,” Neal said. “Our tax dollars are being diverted to people who are here illegally.”

Stella Stevens said a DACA amnesty would mean “taking money away from resources that should be put to American citizens,” repeating findings in a recent Congressional Budget Office report that showed amnesty would automatically entitle the recipients to billions of dollars in entitlements, including Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

Feliciano Gonzales said he “was brought to the United States when I was 2. I don’t know any other home. I love this country.

There’s a better future. We’re not all bad people.”

Clarissa Chavez told the board she had lost a teenage friend to suicide, apparently stemming from his fear of being deported.

“Whatever you do affects our future,” Chavez said. “We should give equal opportunities.”

Several speakers were unable to speak English, while others struggled to find the words.

“Very, very important everybody vote in favor of community,” Luz Ayala said.

The board was initially divided after hearing the speakers, with Supervisors Kevin Jeffries and John Tavaglione unhappy with the closing language of the resolution.

Jeffries felt it needed a concrete statement underscoring the board’s belief in “enhanced border security,” the need for immediate deportation of felons who enter the country illegally and wider use of E-Verify for employee background checks to confirm applicant’ immigration status.

When Ashley and Perez

seemed uninterested in adding the language, Tavaglione said he wouldn’t accept anything less, citing the deaths of Kate Steinle and Indianapolis Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson to make his point.

Steinle was fatally shot on a San Francisco pier in 2015. The previously deported felon who entered the country illegally and confessed to killing her, Jose Zarate, was acquitted last year. Jackson was killed alongside an Indiana highway, along with an Uber driver, by an alleged drunken driver, identified as previously deported Manuel Savala. Savala also entered the country illegally.

“There are felons in this country who need to be returned to wherever they came from,” Tavaglione said. “I want to see strong immigration reform.”

The supervisor said the fact that previously deported offenders are killing people “really pisses me off.”

The resolution was amended and approved 5-0.

helpful and outgoing. She is anxious to share her love of the Friesian breed. And she has made her animals available to share, if even for just a few hours.

“Friesians are often one of the most sought after breeds for photography,” said Capps. And she accommodates photographers and directors with her fine horses.

Capps knows that any photo taken of her horses professionally is a representation of the breed as a whole. Special care is taken to prepare the animal to shine for the camera.

“I have to consider the time and effort it takes to prepare the horses for a pro shoot,” she said.

“The average time spent brushing and prepping their hair, body and hooves for a photo shoot can take two hours or more.”

When photographers contact Capps to schedule for an available time for a shoot, they also arrange for possible human models, themes and costumes that might be included with the event. Some photographers request off-site shoots at a specific location and the logistics and transport must be carefully thought out.

Capps smiled and said, “The horses are generally familiar with such performances and quickly

realize they are headed to a shoot when everyone pulls together and starts to work. For the horses, their behavior more than ever needs to be exemplary!”

According to Capps, at the point when a photographer makes arrangements for a shoot, her costs quickly begin to add up. Supplies, time, physical labor on part of the ground team and groomers to prep for the event become apparent very quickly. Her time is valuable and yet her fees more than reasonable.

The purpose is to ensure the photographer will obtain the optimal shots needed at an affordable price, yet not to skimp on quality.

“Most don’t realize that preparing for such an arrangement is more than just hosing off a horse, sending them into a arena to trot around and look pretty,” she explained. “It’s a well-choreographed effort by all, including the models. Yes, even the horses themselves do what they need to do, some have been doing this for so long now that they have developed a style and a sort of Vogue pose for the camera even!”

All this preparatory cost is often fronted by Capps and paid at the arranged day by the photographer, who can then get his or her best pictures with the aid of ground

staff, models and handlers.

“Strangely enough some who request a scheduled time for a photo shoot catch me online or hail me down from the road or find me at events and take my information,” Capps commented.

Most of her bookings have been from word-of-mouth referrals from other photographers.

“Since we are open to almost any theme or event, with an availability of both male and female models as well as small children, we tend to be a well-rounded and user-friendly Friesian program,” she added.

Wanting a Friesian is a dream for many. But taking the time to learn as much as possible about the breed, history, health and failures in health and genetics is vital for anyone truly seeking to purchase one of these amazing animals, she stressed.

Capps has realized her dream.

And for a few hours, her experiences can be shared through the camera with her knowledgeable assistance.

“Snow White and the Huntsman,” “Interview with a Vampire” and “Sense and Sensibility,” among many others. Television shows that have featured Friesians include “Game of Thrones” and “Lost.”

“I promised myself that one day I too would have a Friesian of my own,” Capps said. “I saved for over 20 years and prayed one day I could possibly purchase one of my own. I shopped diligently for two years looking for the horse that would match me and touch my heart. Finally, in North Central California I met such a horse. The moment I saw her and touched her I knew... This was my girl! My heartfelt life-long friend.

She’s been with me as my constant friend ever since.”

There are currently five Friesians on Capps’ family ranch in Sage, ranging in age from 7 years old to 17, and carefully trained in various disciplines. Friesians lend themselves to being very giving and patient, and therefore exceptional horses for training in almost any aspect, from driving, English, Western and even specializing in tricks.

Does the Constitution matter anymore?

Harold Pease, Ph.D. SPECIAL TO ANZA VALLEY OUTLOOK

A newspaper editor recently wrote of the difficulty in finding a columnist expressing the constitutional viewpoint. I was impressed that he was making his way through the Federalist Papers and considered it a good read. Probably not as only one in 20 can identify what it is or how it came about.

Today the Federalist Papers would be too deep a read for most college students – even many law school pupils. But it houses the thought processes and debates behind the Constitution, the document that caged the natural tendencies of man more than any governing document in world history. An understanding of the Constitution without this resource is not possible. And because the Constitution is based upon natural law, which does not change, it applies in all generations and in all societies.

Constitutional principles were once taught at every level of education and stories of the sacrifice of our Founders frequently recited with admiration. Today few schools teach these principles in grade school and fewer still in high school. In college U.S. history and political science classes, the Constitution is tucked in the back of textbooks as an appendix, hence few actually read it.

The history of the Constitution’s origin is housed in a chapter, but constitutional principles seemingly have only informational value.

Some colleges or universities have courses on the Constitution for political science majors, but

almost without exception, students are not required to actually read it, heavy emphasis is given instead to case law. The same is true in law school. Original intent is hardly mentioned. Law schools provide attorneys and judges, most with too little knowledge of original intent. One rogue Supreme Court decision can effectively destroy large chunks of the Constitution, and almost no one notices or cares. Too few understand that the Supreme Court is not the supreme law of the land over the Constitution.

The Founders would have never permitted nine justices to destroy foundation principles.

Sadly, I never met one having a doctorate in U.S. history or political science who, to get the degree, actually was required to read the U.S. Constitution in full.

Nor have I met a lawyer having to do so either. Case law yes, loads of it, but not the Constitution in full or natural law upon which it is based.

If colleges give no emphasis to constitutional study, how can the nation expect the student to do so either? Several years ago, U.S. News and World Report published a study showing that most Americans could not pass the constitutional questionnaire for citizenship; the public is so constitutionally illiterate. This document is only of minimal value to journalism or communication majors as well. But these professions serve as information filters in newspapers, magazines and radio or television news programs.

The media has divided citizens into two warring groups of liber-

als and conservatives, lumping constitutionalists and libertarians with conservatives. Traditionally, both major groups solve problems primarily by increasing federal power without specific constitutional authority – if the document is properly understood – and pretends that there exist no other viewpoints. Rarely is original intent allowed into the debate. But the Constitution is the law of the land, and all in authority swear an oath to preserve it.

Former President Barack Obama violated the constitution more than any president in history with former President George W. Bush second. The Tea Party movement, primarily constitutionalists, rose up in 2009 as much against Bush, a conservative, as against Obama, a liberal. It used to matter if a president did not carefully follow the Constitution.

Today, both Democrats and Republicans defend their president routinely when he violates it.

President Donald Trump certainly is no constitutionalist; although, thus far, he has followed it more closely than any previous president the last 28 years.

Of the two major political parties, the Democrats rarely cite the document and seem almost to have contempt for it. In fact, most of what they propose is easily argued to be outside the Constitution. They used to defend major parts of the Bill of Rights, but I do not see much of that anymore.

Republicans sometimes carry the document on their person but do not hold to it. Thus, much of what they propose is also outside of the Constitution, but they do use the word “constitution” more than do

Democrats, if that means much.

This generation knows that the Constitution was a good thing and probably should be revered at least historically, but they know little of the principles housed therein and have no idea how to vote to get back to it. This knowledge they will never get from the media, political party or, it seems, not even the institutions of learning – only from private study. That my news editor would find it difficult to find columnists that express the constitutional viewpoint is easily understood, as is the fact that newer columnists who lack this understanding are far more likely to express views in opposition to it.

Constitutional illiteracy is almost universal to the point that those qualified to defend the Constitution as designed, are becoming extinct. Students are not likely to defend it if they never experienced it being defended. A real danger exists that if too few know or value its principles we will lose it – perhaps we already have. Some say it is no longer relevant for our times. They are so wrong.

Dr. Harold Pease is a syndicated columnist and an expert on the United States Constitution. He has dedicated his career to studying the writings of the Founding Fathers and to applying that knowledge to current events.

He taught history and political science from this perspective for over 30 years at Taft College.

CHANGE OF NAME

ABANDONMENT BUSINESS NAME

The Petition for Probate requests that CARLOS E SOSA LARA be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 3/20/18 Time: 8:30 A.M. Dept. T1 Address of court: 41002 County Center Dr., Temecula, CA 92591 If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor.

You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (Form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
