Piper Bell High Country 4-H Reporter It was a fair time for the High Country 4-H’ers, as my 4-H friends and I went to the Riverside County Fair, National Date Festival Feb. 13- 21. We brought four different types

of animals, pigs, goats, chickens and rabbits. It was really fun especially showing and the auction. The cool part is that adults and Mini’s (little children between 5-8 years) got to show pigs and goats too. I met so many people and learned a lot. Next year I will be a boss or as 4-H calls it a Junior Leader. I

showed a pig and a goat this year. It was a lot harder than having one pig. I enjoy washing and getting my animals ready for the show. I had already learned how to shave a pig but I didn’t know how to shave a goat. My favorite part about the fair is getting to hang out with my friends

and make collars for my goat. Furthermore, our club won awards for cleanest pen and second in goat showmanship and fourth in pig showmanship. Then Lyddiah Gorino, who went to masters, placed fourth in Junior Showmanship and

Section of State Highway 371 to be named for fallen ‘Special Deputy’ from Anza Valley ANZA – A section of State Highway 371 in Anza will be named for a Riverside County Special Deputy Sheriff believed to have been the first law enforcement officer in the county killed in the line of duty. Senate Concurrent Resolution 51, authored by State Senator Jeff Stone (R-Riverside County), passed the Legislature on Jan. 27, 2016, and was enacted into law on Feb. 1, 2016. The Resolution designates the portion of the highway between Howard Road and Tribal Road as “Special Deputy Frank Hamilton Memorial Highway.” Hamilton was shot and killed in 1895 in San Jacinto, two years after Riverside County was formed. A Cahuilla tribal member from the Anza area, Hamilton served as a Special Deputy in the Riverside County Sheriff’s office in the areas surrounding the Cahuilla and Ramona Reservations and San Jacinto.

In the early days of the county, Special Deputies were used to support the Sheriff’s Department in rural and remote areas. “It is important that we honor all of our law enforcement officers, especially those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our safety and security,” said Sen.Stone. “As I learned the details of the shooting of Deputy Hamilton, no matter how long ago it was, I knew it was important to find a way to honor him.” Riverside County Sheriff’s Department Master Investigator Robert Masson, who is the president of the Riverside Sheriff’s Association and a volunteer on Senator Stone’s
