Growing cannabis affecting Anza Electric Cooperative grid power demand Diane Sieker WRITER
Kevin Short, the general manager of the Anza Electric Cooperative, shared a wealth of information at the Cannabis Emergency Regulation Committee meeting, Thursday, Feb. 22. He addressed the effects of the explosion of large-scale marijuana cultivation on the rural electric cooperative grid. California has only three electric cooperatives, according the California Energy Commission. By definition, independent rural cooperatives are member-owned, nonprofit groups that serve small communities. The Anza Electric
Cooperative is one of these types of utility providers. According to the cooperative’s website, Anza Electric Cooperative, which was first energized in 1955, is a member of Touchstone Energy – the national brand of electric cooperatives – providing power to the communities of Anza, Garner Valley, Pinyon Pines and parts of Aguanga. The cooperative provides energy to 3,900 homes, schools and businesses and 20 irrigation loads. Their service area is nearly 700 square miles of high desert with an elevation of roughly 4,000 feet. The AEC serves about 4,000

Riverside County ‘Educator of the Year’ named in surprise visit to Hemet Unified School District
Karl Melzer, center left, the instructional publication center manager for Hemet Unified School District, receives an “Educator of the Year” award from Andy McGuire, HUSD director of purchasing; Riverside County Superintendent Dr. Judy White; Christi Barrett, HUSD superintendent; Vince Christakos, HUSD assistant superintendent of business services and Tracy Chambers, HUSD assistant superintendent of Courtesy photos educational services at a surprise visit to the print shop, Thursday, Feb. 15.
HEMET – Running the Hemet Unified School District’s Instructional Publication Center for the last decade, Karl Melzer knows how to handle paper jams – a common occurrence when printing 30 million pages of instructional materials each year. But having an entourage of dignitaries and photographers invade his print shop to surprise him with the 2018 Riverside County Classified “Administrator of the Year” award Thursday, Feb. 15, was a bit different. “I was more shocked than anything else,” he joked later, trying to recover after greeting Riverside County Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Judy D. White, and fellow colleagues from HUSD who were in on the surprise. “It’s an honor and a surprise to be chosen. I opened the Hemet Unified School District Print Shop ten years ago with the vision of providing the best customer service to our students and staff. My number one focus in what
we do is how it supports student achievement and how we can make it better.” White praised Melzer as an innovator who has helped Hemet Unified print all the instructional materials and textbooks its students need completely in-house. “You are on the forefront of education,” White said. “You understand that every action you take has direct impact on the classroom.” Melzer is responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the Instructional Publication Center for HUSD. His nine full-time employees provide a wide variety of printed materials for the district and for numerous nonprofit entities in the community. A resident of Wildomar, Melzer has served in his current position since 2007 when the print shop’s monthly volume consisted of 7,000 copies. A decade later, the IPC’s monthly volume now averages 2.5 million prints and includes wide format printing, window graphics,
apparel printing and more. “The learning culture of Hemet USD is, and always has been, focused on excellence, and the role of the print shop is to be a resource of quality educational materials for teachers and students,” Melzer said in his application. “We pride ourselves on providing high-quality printed curriculum, innovative learning materials, a wide range of products and the best customer service possible.” White has been conducting seven surprise visits over the past several weeks to honor the top educators who serve 430,000 students in the county. The full list of categories and honorees for the 2018 Riverside County Educators of the Year can be found at www.rcoe.us. Jodi Spoon-Sadlon, elementary school counselor of Murrieta Valley Unified School District, was named School Counselor of the Year, Feb. 21. Susan Hall, teacher on special assignment for Murrieta Valley

Unified School District, was named Site Support Employee of the Year, Feb. 21. Cheryl Anderson, executive assistant to the superintendent of Riverside Unified School District, was named Confidential Employee of the Year, Feb. 26. Still to be announced and surprised are the awards for principal, certificated administrator and classified employee of the year. The rigorous application process starts with nominations by teachers, classified employees, and school district administrators throughout the county. Applications are then submitted to the Riverside County
Office of Education, where an outside selection committee selects the honorees before the county superintendent announces the honorees. Along with the 2018 Riverside County Teachers of the Year, the Educators of the Year will be honored at the Riverside County Celebrating Educators Luncheon at the Riverside Convention Center Tuesday, May 22. The 2018 Teachers of the Year were named in mid-2017 to align with the 2018 California State Teacher of the Year competition. The 2019 Riverside County Teachers of the Year will be announced in May or June 2018.
WINTER from page A-1 Chain controls were mandated by the California Highway Patrol for state Route 371 east of Anza and state Routes 74 and 243 near Mountain Center for much of Tuesday. In the mountains, including the Idyllwild-Pine Cove area, a winter storm warning – signifying severe winter weather, heavy snow and hazardous travel conditions – went into effect at 7 p.m. Monday, according to the NWS. The weather service urged drivers to use extra caution while traveling and to be alert for areas of low visibility. “If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency,” the NWS said in reports. With snow levels dropping to around 2,000 feet Tuesday morning, NWS meteorologists and other officials also worried about snow piling up on highways that don’t usually get the white stuff. In Anza, however, it was business as usual as animals frolicked in the white stuff, children and adults made snowmen and snow angels and Mother Nature’s surprise was shared throughout the valley. City News Service contributed to this story. Diane Sieker can be reached by email at anzaeditor@reedermedia. com.

Anza Valley Municipal Advisory Council’s Cannabis Emergency Regulation Committee looks at cannabis impact fees Diane Sieker WRITER
The Anza Valley Municipal Advisory Council hosted its second Cannabis Emergency Regulation Committee meeting at Anza Electric Cooperative’s conference room Thursday, Feb. 22. The CERC strives to help the AVMAC advise county Supervisor Chuck Washington’s office of the cannabis regulations that will best suit the Anza and Aguanga areas. CERC members Edison GomezKrouse, Kevin Short, Bob Giffin, Kiran Samuels, Daryl Hossler, Richard Ku, Kendall Steinmetz and George Hanian were present. Committee member Phillip Canaday was not in attendance. Several members of the public attended the meeting. Gomez-Krause called the meeting to order and summarized the highlights of the prior meeting, held Saturday, Feb. 10. “It is my hope that after this meeting, the next meeting we begin crafting the CERC’s final report. I am hoping we can expedite this process a bit,” he said. He moved to approve the meeting’s agenda and made sure everyone had a copy. It was seconded and approved. The Feb. 10 meeting minutes were read by Samuels and approved. Gomez-Krouse got the meeting underway by asking Giffin for his report on regulations in effect in other districts. “I have the draft EIR from Humboldt, 496 pages; I’m reading though that one,” Giffin said. He said that he had taken the chief of staff from state Sen. Jeff Stone’s office on a ride about Anza and Aguanga to show him the impact of the large cultivations. “He was shocked at the expanse of canopies and greenhouses that have gone up in the last 2 to 3 months,” Giffin said. Giffin shared that his research had shown that places like San Diego offer business improvement districts, and a cannabis impact fee could possibly be collected in this case to help with enforcement. He added that he had placed calls to attorneys and government officials to gather more information. “I’m trying to get feedback from the county on something they may be open to as well,” he said. He read some regulations from the Humboldt paperwork, and a discussion ensued regarding the definitions of the canopy sizes and other information Gomez-Krouse mentioned that Anza is in a very particular situation with cannabis and something needs to be done to get enforcement, and get money from the growers to fund enforcement. “We do have an emergency situ-

Learning Beatles songs was next. Foye purchased the “Beatles Com-
ation on our hands,” he said. “If we can’t get a regulatory body, perhaps a proposal would just be to modify Ordinance 925 in the unincorporated area.” Giffin said that he did not think the county has been watching what is going on in the Anza area, and now it is being brought to their attention. “We have a special circumstance because of the water,” he said. “Because we are adjudicated, we may have a problem with the state due to the fact that the basin is not adjudicated.” Hossler said that to encourage more growing will tax the community’s resources even more. Gomez-Krouse countered that regulations can prevent over-expanding the cannabis industry, and maybe even reduce the numbers of cultivators to sustainable levels. Samuels suggested looking at the regulations created by Coachella and Desert Hot Springs as examples for a framework of regulation for Anza. She stressed the importance of getting accurate counts of the numbers of cultivators growing in the area. She said the regulations for Anza can prohibit the influx of large commercial grows that may be occurring some years down the road. “I, as a resident, my main goal in supporting this effort is to get cannabis growers who wish to be compliant to understand that the community would benefit from their being in compliance and continues to suffer from and will continue to suffer from unchecked noncompliant cannabis cultivation,” she explained. “There needs to be a give and take.” Gomez-Krouse moved to introduce AEC General Manager Kevin Short, who made a presentation regarding the impact of cannabis cultivation on energy consumption. Short spoke using a PowerPoint presentation that showed graphs and images illustrating the effects of the loads of the industry on the electrical grid. He described load data and forecasts and how the cannabis cultivators’ thirst for electrical power was stressing the entire electrical grid. He discussed the issues of trying to reduce energy consumption by using LED grow lights, but he said that the product yields are not as large as with the more traditional, energy-hungry lighting systems. “Virtually all the growers we know about are located on RRzoned property,” he said. “And on residential service with the cooperative.” The AEC’s policy does allow for disconnection under some circumstances. “If you like to get free electricity, you’re going to get disconnected,” he said. “If you can’t maintain your equipment in a safe, responsible plete” book and learned every cord and every song.

Dangerously worn extension cords and wires bypassing the meters were highlighted. “We estimate that half of our line loss is energy theft, and that’s over a half million dollars per year,” he said. Short explained the current usage forecasts and how the system capacity is being challenged. The ceiling is 14 megawatts, and in 2015, the usage came within 700 kilowatts of that ceiling. This event was not forecasted to happen until years down the road. Gomez-Krouse asked if cannabis cultivation was credited for the huge increase, and Short replied that it was. The result of this increase is an overloaded system. He described the incoming lines from Southern California Edison coming up the mountain from the Hemet side. “One of these days, those wires are going to turn into a fuse because they’re going to overload and melt,” Short said. The recent increases in energy sales by the AEC show unprecedented growth. The 200 largest services on the system consume 14.5 percent of the energy, while being only 4 percent of the total membership. The 30 largest users last summer consumed 4.5 percent of the services. The largest user uses an average of $5,000 a month in electrical power. That residence is an indoor cannabis cultivation. The ball is rolling to upgrade mer members scrambled to reunify the group. At that point, Foye went to San Diego’s Planet, then on to Anza in 1988. Foye describes his musical style as “Gene Autry meets Gene Simmons,” homegrown all-original cowboy rock and Southern-fried blues. “Gentle saddle bounce verses together with bridges crashing like thunder,” he said. “Reminding us that the wild West never went away. Somehow, some Nashville genius took the western out of country western, and I’m gonna put it back.” Foye shares the Anza stages with many other well-known entertainers. “Proof that the high country is the center of the universe, look at the heavy hitters that are here. Vince Banta (Taj Mahal, Huey Lewis, U2) and Dave Norwood (America). Huge shoutout to John Knori, Mark Huston, Steve Silkotch, (star of stage and screen), yeah, we’re on the map with Rick Bonano and Jimmy Hilzman, a most talented player and my recording engineer; Cliff “Beef” Pollock and Milt “Jordy” Jordan.” His current band, Cowboy Bang Bang, features Dan Brown, Freddie Zadick, John Yarrow and Dean Metzger, all seasoned players and well-known in the community. The band was created in 2013 and focuses on 1980s tunes as well as originals. Before that, Foye played with a group of guys calling themselves Tin Star and performed locally at the defunct Tumbleweed and Windy Hills Sports Bar. Foye loves to write music and his latest tune, “Last Thing You’ll Ever See,” is about a wild West gunslinger and promises to get toes

local substations and Edison’s incoming lines. An additional transmission line is not something that is feasible, due to the immense costs, Short said, but the solar array helps and the AEC is investigating battery backup systems. “What we’ve seen with some of the grow operations is these folks will come in, set up shop. They’ll run for awhile, they’ll stop paying their bill and their friend comes in and takes over the service,” Short said. “Well, we can’t charge the friend that guy’s bill so he takes over the service, he runs for awhile. He stops paying his bill, and we disconnect him. These guys do this over and over. It’s a great game until we
figure out who they are, and we stop turning them back on. Everybody has to pay for that. It’s not right.” Solar power is not an option for most high-usage cultivators; it just cannot produce enough electricity to run a farm without huge costs and acres of panels. Riverside County is unlikely to permit such structures, he said. “When you look at this aspect of it; this is not good for our community,” Samuels said. Short answered questions and elaborated on details from his presentation. The discussion encompassed rates changes, policing and other points.
tapping. He also wrote “Being a Cowboy” and “Eyes Making Love,” reflecting his country western flair. Foye has been in the studio recently and said that one CD is completed, a second is in final development and a third is in process. All three CDs will be included in one jacket and available through Foye and at gigs. Cowboy Bang Bang shows are slated for Terwilliger, Galway
Downs, Julian, Idylwild, Cahuilla and other locations in Anza to be announced. “Thank you high country for your love and support. Now let’s rock this town.” he said.

COMMITTEE from page A-4 Steinmetz suggested the growers simply grow outdoors to avoid energy issues. Short concluded his lecture by handing out information useful for the committee’s research. Steinmetz dispersed informational paperwork informing the committee members of cannabis cultivation methods, ordinances, permits, zoning, uses, water rights and other important details. He set the stage to justify the cannabis industry in the unincorporated areas of Riverside County. Committee members asked questions about water usage, which is of special concern. “We talked about 5 gallons a day per plant. Of course, when the plants are small, they don’t need all that, but as they mature and it gets hotter and drier, they do need the 5 gallons a day,” Steinmetz said. “Six months would be 180 days; 5 gallons times 180 days is 900 gallons per plant, per crop. Ten plants would be 9,000; a hundred plants would be 90,000 gallons for the whole crop, for 100 plants. It’s not actually considered a water-thirsty plant.” Other states are not requiring permitting for water, but Giffin spoke of the ongoing water suit, which makes Anza’s water situation unique. Cannabis values have dropped considerably, Steinmetz said. Production and processing costs have gone up or remained the same. He detailed the differences between the value of indoor grown to outdoor grown cannabis, with indoor commanding the highest prices. The buyers are dictating the market prices, and the bumper crop supply is causing the prices to plummet due to over production. Steinmetz read a statement about growing in Anza, reflecting on its long history in the valley. He mentioned past persecution and the good effects of legalization and the benefits of tax revenues. “We have a growers’ association forming up here representing all local farmers including the Asian and Hispanic residents here. Most want to participate in this new taxed and regulated paradigm if it includes them, too,” he said. “We are calling for a broad-based, reasonable permitting that encourages all to join in.” The committee members agreed that more research is needed to try to quantify the number of growers in Anza and the cultivation methods used. An idea was introduced to place a survey at the local hydro store to try to get more information. “If too much money is charged, they will stay black market,” Giffin said. “A lot of those people voted to legalize cannabis,” Samuels said. “And none of them thought about, ‘Oh my God, what is the impact going to be on a rural community in Southern California?’ Their whole things is, ‘I like to smoke pot; I want it to be legal. You know, I want my little stash,’ and if the impact is you wipe out quality of living because it’s an ideal location for cannabis, it might not save Anza but it’s a point that would be appreciated.” Giffin spoke about the impact to housing. “Eighty, 85 percent of the buyers coming in are to grow,” Giffin said, repeating information he presented at the previous meeting. He continued to talk about the chemicals used and the danger to the water supply. At this point, resident Gary Worobec stood up and presented photos of the destruction left behind on a

lot across the street from his house. Clearly upset, yet polite and accommodating, he drove his point home to the committee that illegal chemicals and trash will not be tolerated in his neighborhood. “This is what’s going into our water system,” he said. Gomez-Krause said, “What we’re really trying to get to here is ‘how do we avoid this?’” Giffin suggested a cannabis impact fee to help with enforcement, while Steinmetz said that if the county chooses to go with Proposition 64’s tax structure, the state will assist with enforcement. Short pressed the committee members most familiar with growing to give him a permit fee amount that they considered reasonable. No answers were apparent, as the variables are so hard to define at this time. His point was that it is unlikely that growers will pay for permits, since they can simply continue as they always have in Anza. Discussion on the survey continued. Questions would include: what are reasonable fees and a reasonable canopy size? How many grow outdoor and how many indoor growers are there and would they comply with the new regulations? Steinmetz and Hanian were assigned to handle the survey. Steinmetz took issue with the term, “cartel” as being a racial slur, as ethnic names are put before the word, as in “Asian” or “Hispanic” cartels. Samuels replied that she was Asian and was not offended and the word “cartel” defines a group of people, not a race. “I’m Asian. I never use the word ‘Asian cartel’ but cartel is a legal term,” Samuels said. “And we need to use it because that is one of the major concerns for community members who are not growers.” Gomez-Krause said that a law enforcement officer told him there were no cartels operating in Anza. It was decided not to combine the term “cartel” with any ethnic designation. Canaday was not present but had
forwarded his Anza Ground Water Association information to the committee, and this information was analyzed and discussed. AGWA member and AEC employee Brian Baharie spoke about the water studies and assured the board that he will make sure they get as much information as possible. The meeting wound down, and it was agreed that a significant amount of input had been shared, but much more work will need to be done. The next meeting of the CERC will be 5 p.m. Friday, March 9, at the AEC offices. The public is welcome to attend.

Idyllwild’s International Festival of Cinema open in Idyllwild Tony Ault STAFF WRITER
More than 100 different films from documentaries to features will be viewed during Idyllwild’s signature Idyllwild International Festival of Cinema sometimes called the “Mini Sundance” that began Tuesday, March 6, and will continue through Saturday, March 10. The extraordinary film festival began at 10 a.m. March 6 at Idyllwild’s Rustic Theater, 54290 North Circle Drive, with the showing of the films “Vermijo” and later “The Golden Age.” The showings will end Saturday, March 10, at the Idyllwild Town Hall, 25925 Cedar St, with the showing of “Hunting Lands.” A listing of the film festivals showings at different locations throughout the Idyllwild mountain community can be found on the IIFC webpage www.idyllwildcinemafest.com. Stephen Savage, the IIFC director began assembling the film festival in 2009 and it has since grown to become one of the Southern California’s finer film festivals known the world over. “IIFC moves into this new season so strong, and so viable, I am literally in awe of its potential, and bigger and more inspiring,” says Savage in his online invitation to the 2018 film festival. “And to add even more awe to
my already huge exuberance, the audiences keep coming in greater numbers. To say we have come into our own falls short of the mark. IIFC has come so far in such a short time that I can now say, without fear of exaggeration that we are truly one of the ‘Go To’ festivals for filmmakers and film lovers in California.” The full IIFC festival pass was priced at $95 with day passes $35 and single screening passes at $10 each. The special IIFC Foundation “Live Love” Benefit Saturday, March 10, with a $10 ticket that will offer two screenings including the locally filmed upcoming western TV drama series pilot “Tucker’s War,” directed by Stephen Savage. The nonprofit “Live Love” Foundation brings hope and encouragement to Kids Battling Cancer in Hospitals Worldwide. It is a separate event apart from the full festival pass. With the Director’s Mixer Party at 9 p.m. Saturday, March 10, ticket set at $20 where guests may meet fellow filmmakers along with a dinner and drinks. The festivals’ full schedule and locations of festival events throughout downtown Idyllwild and ticket purchases are available from the IIFV website www.idyllwildcinemafest.com.
Board authorizes $10 million more for jail construction budget RIVERSIDE – The Riverside County Board of Supervisors authorized a $10.2 million increase in the budget for construction of the John J. Benoit Detention Center in Indio, mostly to cover higher insurance costs. The board’s 5-0 vote, made without comment, granted the Riverside County Economic Development Agency the additional funds from bond proceeds generated from debt sales tied to the jail. The detention center project budget was originally $330.35 million and is now $340.6 million. Economic Development Agency documents show the bulk of the additional money was requested due to growing expenses connected to the county’s “owner-controlled insurance program,” established specifically for jail construction. The program functions as an umbrella covering a range of liability, excess liability and workers’ compensation policies. The board separately approved $2.2 million in additional funds for the project manager, San Bernardino-based Vanir Construction Management, which estimated that the final phase of construction would be completed in May 2019. Construction of the first phase is tentatively slated to wrap up in late July. Building out in phases was neces-
sary to contain costs, officials said. After the first phase is completed, 388 jail beds will be available in the high-tech lockup. In January, the board approved $7 million requested by Sheriff Stan Sniff to recruit and hire an estimated 70 correctional personnel needed to staff the new jail. The current staff at the existing Indio Jail were found to be too few in number to manage the facility. The old jail will be demolished to make room for the new one. The Benoit Detention Center has been under construction since July 2015, after repeated delays stemming from county budgetary challenges and state- mandated reviews. The design calls for a 1,600-bed facility. The existing jail contains 353 inmate beds. Along with correctional personnel, cooks, custodians, dieticians, accountants and medical professionals will be needed to staff the facility, which will be situated at Oasis Street and state Route 111. Other than new jail staffing, the county is effectively under a hiring freeze to help address a structural budget deficit that has plagued the books for years. Most of the gap is attributed collectively to public safety agencies, though a sizable share is also associated with the Riverside University Medical Center in Moreno Valley.

Board OKs ban on industrial hemp operations RIVERSIDE – Riverside County supervisors approved an interim ordinance prohibiting the industrial cultivation of hemp in unincorporated communities as a precautionary move against potential criminal activity. The Office of County Counsel submitted the measure, for which the board voted 5-0 without comment. According to Chief Counsel Greg Priamos, the urgency or interim, ordinance is needed to clarify that all forms of commercial cannabis production are not permitted in the unincorporated areas at this time. “The unpermitted cultivation of industrial hemp may pose the same threats to the public health, safety or welfare as the unpermitted cultivation of cannabis,” Priamos said in an introduction to the ordinance. “Such urgent and immediate threats include, but are not limited to, an increased likelihood of criminal activity, the attraction of crime and associated violence, a strain on county resources, and a detrimental impact on agriculture within the region resulting from exotic weeds, plant diseases, mites and www.anzavalleyoutlook.com

other insects that are prevalent in industrial hemp.” Hemp has its advocates, who argue it has myriad beneficial industrial applications, including in the creation of fuels. No one spoke against the ordinance. The county is in the process of developing a comprehensive regulatory framework under which commercial cultivation of marijuana may be allowed; however, those regulations are not expected to be brought forward until this summer, and they’ll likely be subject to approval by voters countywide in November. County attorneys acknowledged that Senate Bill 94, which estab-
lished the Medicinal & Adult-Use cannabis Regulation & Safety Act in June, as well as Proposition 64, which voters statewide approved in November 2016, open the way for industrial production of hemp, just like commercial cultivation of its close relative, marijuana. However, the regulatory scheme is vague and slated for revision by the California Department of Food and Agriculture by way of its Industrial Hemp Advisory Board, which is expected to bring forward recommendations this fall. The federal Agricultural Act recognizes that institutions of higher learning and state agencies, or entities under state contract, may
engage in hemp production for research purposes. County staff said University of California Riverside is proceeding with a hemp research project, and the ordinance that the board ratified will have no bearing on the university’s objectives. The main difference between hemp and unadulterated marijuana is the tetrahydrocannabinol – or THC – content. Hemp leaves have about three-tenths of 1 percent of the compounds contained in cannabis leaves, according to the Office of County Counsel. “The physical appearance of cannabis and industrial hemp (is) virtually the same, and the only way to distinguish them is to test for the
THC content,” the attorney said. The complications of trying to distinguish between genuine hemp producers and businesses that produce consumer cannabis are sufficient grounds for prohibiting everything at this point, according to Priamos. The ordinance will take effect immediately and remain enforceable by sheriff’s deputies and code enforcement officers for 45 days. The board can renew the ordinance as many times as it desires going forward, or enact a permanent zoning regulation, according to the Office of County Counsel.
Supervisor Washington unveils ‘Lift Up Rivco’ vision RIVERSIDE – Supervisor Chuck Washington unveiled a four-cornered plan to improve the quality of life in Riverside County during the board of supervisors’ workshop, Feb. 6. Based on comparative national, state and neighboring county statistics for health, median family incomes and poverty levels, Washington asked his staff to outline Riverside County’s current ranking and provide the foundation for a vision for the future. “It is my hope, that while we recognize we face challenges today, if we do not create a solid forwardlooking vision, we will always find ourselves in a reactionary mode,” Washington said. Jeff Comerchero, Riverside County Third District chief of staff, presented the “Lift Up Rivco” vision that identified the four corners of health and safety, education, jobs and housing. The program utilizes available resources and programs already in place while setting goals for improvement. Specific 12-year goals were outlined with suggestions for accomplishing each
mission. Lift Up Rivco health initiatives call for increasing the number of healthy families by reducing obesity, encouraging increased physical activity in schools and community organizations, increasing enrollment in available food programs, promoting farmers’ markets and educating communities on healthy eating options within their communities. To improve public safety throughout the county, Lift Up Rivco includes promoting modern policing approaches to help create safe communities, deploying the right resources in the right manner at the right time and increasing the awareness of the dangers of preventable infant and toddler deaths due to drowning and abandonment in vehicles. While 89 percent of the general high school student population in Riverside County graduates compared to 81 percent in the state of California, the Lift Up Rivco vision includes increasing the graduation rate by 5 percent. This increase in high school graduation is in con-
junction with increasing the graduation rates from trade schools, community colleges and universities by 5 percent. The latter goal will be aided by an education fair that reaches beyond the traditional college fair and provides information and opportunities on various well-paying trades, technical and certification-required careers that don’t require four-year degrees. Riverside County’s unemployment rate is at its lowest in decades. However, the current median family income is 10 percent below the neighboring counties. At the same time, the highest sectors of people living in poverty are women ages 18-44. Women with equal education are being paid 20 to 32 percent less than men throughout the county. The Lift Up RivCo vision calls for a 10 percent increase in both the median household income and women’s income by 2030, as well as an increase in the local hiring rate. Washington’s vision also includes creating a Platinum Employer’s program that recognizes companies for improving their local hire rate and increasing women’s salaries.
With increased income the county should see increased housing opportunities. Housing in Riverside County is already experiencing shortages due to market rate and affordability. To address this need, Washington’s plan calls for assessing current inventory of approved maps not under construction, encouraging alternative and diverse housing, implementing a boardapproved streamlined process for housing approvals at all levels and evaluating areas for increased density in the future. Washington established several outreach programs with community leaders to explore collaborative efforts in the county vision. These include two Mayor’s Summits with the 28 city mayors of the county and the state of the county address in September. “This vision for the county can guide our budget and policy decisions while simultaneously understanding that each district has its unique personality. I think we can all agree that we will achieve better outcomes by combining our collective strengths,” Washington said.
Temecula welcomes ‘Circus Vargas,’ honoring special needs community heroes TEMECULA – The circus is coming to town, as world-famous Circus Vargas has taken their family-oriented show on the road for 48 years performing for rock stars, movie directors, actresses and more. Now, Circus Vargas returns to Temecula, March 8-19, at the Promenade Temecula. Circus Vargas will debut their new 2018 Circus Vargas show, “Dreaming of Pirates.” Circus Vargas has performed its Big Top-style circus for Temecula in previous years and enjoys giving back to the communities they perform in by honoring community heroes. Circus Vargas representative, Rolanda
Kaiser, is committed to creating a close and collaborative relationship with Temecula. Kaiser contacted Temecula Mayor ProTem Mike Naggar, who recognized her last name as that of a former acquaintance. The Kaisers have been involved with the circus for many years. Her father, Roland Kaiser, was the concessions manager for Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey, in the 1970s. While working there, Roland Kaiser hired a 15-year-old Mike Naggar to work in concessions and travel with the circus selling toys. Kaiser later became concessions manager for Circus Vargas and in 1989 became
co-owner. Years later, Naggar visited Kaiser at a Circus Vargas performance in San Diego to thank him for the wonderful memories of working for Ringling Circus. Because of this shared connection to the circus and their involvement in the special needs community, Naggar suggested that Circus Vargas honor the heroes of the special needs community in Temecula on Circus Vargas’ opening night. As a parent of a 12-year-old child with special needs, Rolanda Kaiser along with Circus Vargas invited the heroes of the special needs community to their opening night performance in Temecula
7:30 p.m., Thursday, March 8. The celebrated heroes included Temecula City Council members, Temecula Community Services commissioners, Our Nicholas Foundation, Autism Society Inland Empire, Comprehensive Autism Center and others. Circus Vargas features no animals, only talented and graceful acrobats, aerialists and daredevils in “Dreaming of Pirates.” Circus Vargas will set up its iconic Big Top tent at the Temecula Promenade Mall, 40820 Winchester Road.

cent for CO2 injection, 3 percent for water handling, 1 percent for drying the product, 21 percent for air conditioning, 30 percent for ventilation and dehumidification and 38 percent for lighting. Indoor cultivation is generally accepted as the most energy intensive cultivation method, but is also potentially the most water-efficient method. The energy demands of lights, motors for fans and pumps and air conditioning are generally agreed to be energy intensive and expensive for the energy consumer/cultivator. These demands are stressing the grid locally, even as the AEC implements plans to maintain power for everyone. Growing cannabis indoors is a process where space conditions, temperature and humidity are tightly controlled to optimize product quality and prevent crop loss due to pests, mold and mildew. The quality and amount of light provided is the primary driver of the final yield. Growers can use seeds or clone “mother” plants by taking small cuttings and rooting them. The seedlings are usually grown in racks stacked vertically with fluorescent lighting, T5HO, until they are mature enough to be re-potted and placed in grow rooms with high-intensity discharge fixtures. The plants are cultivated in a vegetative state for 18 to 24 hours of light per day until the photo-period is shortened, which induces the plant to begin flowering. A full cycle from clone to harvested plant takes three to four months but can vary depending on the particular strain of cannabis, according to Caulkins, Cohen and Zamarra 2014. But the impact of indoor-grown cannabis is having an adverse effect on the ability of the local energy provider to serve its community, Short said. Another consideration is electri-
cal energy theft, which is not just a crime of suburban growers; it is happening in Anza, Short said. Many of the locations where this theft was detected were cannabis cultivations. The annual cost to AEC members of electricity theft is 5 percent of gross revenue. This figure was $533,603 in 2017, or a per member loss of $133.40 per year. All members are sharing the cost of theft, which was committed by a very few. Electricity theft is a dangerous game as well, causing unsafe conditions that could start fires or kill with electric shock. Short shared images of found electricity theft at the committee meeting. AEC employees are specially trained to detect and handle these situations safely. The AEC has an obligation to serve legal loads in the franchise service territory. The policy allows for disconnection of service for unsafe conditions, nonpayment and energy theft. Some growers are even cultivating a large crop and abandoning the site, leaving a huge electric bill unpaid, Short said. “What we’ve seen with some of the grow operations is these folks will come in, set up shop. They’ll run for a while, they’ll stop paying their bill, and their friend comes in and takes over the service,” Short said. “Well, we can’t charge the friend that guy’s bill, so he takes over the service. He runs for a while, he stops paying his bill and we disconnect him. These guys do this over and over. It’s a great game until we figure out who they are and we stop turning them back on. Everybody has to pay for that. It’s not right.” The costs to the members include increased demand, which translates into increased import costs – the more that is needed at peak hours, the more it costs. Increased capacity means infrastructure upgrades far
ahead of earlier forecasts, increasing costs to the cooperative. Cost causation – transitory loads will not pay their fair share. Rate impacts include upward pressure on the rate structure and socialization of cost. “The AEC has experienced an unprecedented increase in energy and capacity requirements in the last three years,” according to an AEC report. “We have completely run out of capacity expansion space 10 years ahead of forecast. We have experienced a substantial increase in energy theft. We have experienced more overloaded and damaged equipment in the last three years than in the last 20 combined. Our costs have substantially increased due to earlier than planned expansion of system capacity, outage calls and operating expenses,” Short said. The AEC is addressing the massive increases as quickly and efficiently as possible, he said. They have contracted with Southern California Edison to increase import capacity to 19 megawatts, a 27 percent increase. The main substation upgrade is under way at this time, and a new substation design and build has begun. Short was asked if another transmission line could be built, and he replied that the cost involved is prohibitive, so that is not a possibility. One of the impacts of large-scale cannabis cultivation on the Anza Valley is these effects on the energy system. This and other issues are being studied carefully by the CERC.

members, utilizes 5,200 electric meters and shows 4,700 active services, 93 percent of which are residential. The power that the AEC offers to its members comes up the mountain from Southern California Edison transmission lines and the amount of power transferred is limited to what the infrastructure can safely handle. Currently, this number is just about 14 megawatts. Studies conducted by the AEC indicate a load forecast that is accelerating way beyond what was predicted several years ago. Load growth for between the years 2015 and 2017 revealed an increase in total energy sales of 23 percent since 2011, and that figure will continue to climb. AEC residential energy use for the summer of 2017 totals include two hundred, 4.26 percent, services used 14.42 percent of total energy and 30.64 percent, services used 4.43 percent of total energy. The highest summer residential service used 25 times the average energy, with 7.5 times the average demand. Short said that the highest bill generated is an average of $5,000 a month. When asked if these figures were related to the increase in cannabis cultivation, Short agreed that they were. Virtually all known growers are connected to residential meters on land zoned as rural residential. According to professional engineers Jesse Remillard and Nick Collins of Energy & Resource Solutions “Trends and Observations of Energy Use in the Cannabis Industry,” a 2017 ACEEE Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Industry, typical indoor cannabis grow energy requirements include 5 percent for space heating, 2 per-

Washington’s advice rejected by both parties Harold Pease, Ph.D. SPECIAL TO ANZA VALLEY OUTLOOK
Avoiding national debt was one of George Washington’s greatest admonitions yet neither liberals nor conservatives have paid much attention to it. It would be well to reflect on his advice. The trillion-dollar Republican proposal will raise overall spending caps by about $300 billion over the next two years and will make interest on the debt the largest growing part of the federal budget. This expenditure of the people’s hardearned taxes purchases nothing. It simply vanishes. This increase prompted a response from Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. “When the Democrats are in power, Republicans appear to be the conservative party. But when Republicans are in power, it seems there is no conservative party,” Paul said. “The dirty little secret is that, by and large, both parties don’t care about the debt.” The country borrows “a million dollars every minute.” On Sept. 19, 1796, just before leaving the presidency, President George Washington issued his famous “Farewell Address.” He warned posterity of possible pitfalls that could undermine or destroy
liberty. His warnings may well be timelier 222 years later, just past his birthday, Feb. 22. In strong terms he asked that the country avoid debt. “As a very important source of strength and security, cherish public credit… use it as sparingly as possible, avoiding occasion of expense… (Use the) time of peace, to discharge the debts which unavoidable wars may have occasioned, not ungenerously throwing upon posterity the burden which we ourselves ought to bear,” Washington said. Unavoidable wars? Today the national debt sits at over $20.5 trillion – the highest in history. I once viewed a CNN clip, “How Much is a Trillion Dollars,” that showed a trillion dollars stacked atop one another the combined thickness going 68,000 miles into the sky and a third of the way to the moon. Applying this formula to twenty-plus trillion dollars debt would go to the moon and back, $6 trillion, to the moon and back a second time, 12 trillion, to the moon and back a third time, 18 trillion and two-thirds of the way to the moon a fourth time. Obviously neither party has taken Washington’s advice. Presently, the debt per taxpayer is over $170,370. We are spending our way into oblivion. Visit www.USDebtClock.org to see it in real time.

But Washington gave other unheeded advice as well. He pleaded that the nation keeps religion and morality strong. He said, “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports…. Let it simply be asked, where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice? Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.” The Founding Fathers never supported the notion of separation of religion and government – only the separation of an organization of religion from government. What would Washington say of the immorality that prevails? But the warning about foreign aid was especially good. He told the nation that gift giving in foreign affairs is a good way to be universally hated. He said it placed the country “in the condition of having given equivalents for nominal favors, and yet of being reproached with ingratitude for not giving more.” There is hardly a nation in the world that does not have its hand out, and when, after once giving, the amount is reduce or terminated,
the U.S. is hated all the more for it. He warned against the origin of “combinations and associations” whose intent was to suppress the desires of the majority in favor of the minority. He called them artificial power factions. What would he say of the influence of the “Deep State” in government today or of the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission or Bilderbergers? Would not these artificial power factions include former President Bill Clinton’s foundation to pedal political influence for millions or Hillary Clintons’s rigging the Democratic National Convention against Bernie Sanders or against President Donald Trump with a fake dossier? Such factions, he said, “May answer popular ends and become potent engines by which cunning, ambitious and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government….” The antidote for this, Washington said, was “to resist with care the spirit of innovation” upon basic constitutional principles or premises no matter how flowery, appealing or “specious the pretext.” Washington worried about posterity not holding their elected officials strictly to the limits imposed by the Constitution. He knew many
would seek to undermine that document by twisting it to give power they could not acquire without the distortion. Sound familiar? “But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed,” Washington said. Today much of what the federal government does is not even mentioned in the Constitution. But patriots are not likely to be popular, as for instance, Paul. Washington said, “Real patriots, who may resist the intrigues of the favorite, are liable to become suspected and odious; while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests.” One need not look far for the “tools and dupes” they seem to be everywhere and in both parties.
