The Brady Bunch has nothing on the Willis family of Menifee.

After raising five biological children, Gary and Pam Willis made the decision to adopt seven siblings who were orphaned in 2018.

Now with a dozen children, the Willises said they are enjoying their second pass at parenting.

“We started fostering children in 2013 through California Family Life Center in the San Jacinto Valley,” Pam Willis said. “We have had at least two or three kiddos at a time pretty continuously since then. When we first started fostering, we still had two teenagers at home, a daughter in college and two married sons.”

The Willises’ biological children, who are now 20, 23, 27, 30 and 32, were always very accepting of the foster children they shared their home with through the

San Jacinto City Council gives final approval to development code amendments Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The major change should result in the zoning code explanations being simpler to help those interested and making it easier for developers to proceed with their projects.

One of the changes discussed would allow a change in fencing structure locations in commercial zones. For example, no fencing is required for what is called internal fencing in property owned by the same owner. The new location for Auto Zone and its adjacent open land spaces was mentioned as being affected by the change.

There were a number of changes made to the codes due to new cannabis facilities, new housing density rules set by the state and new storage facilities on commercial and industrial properties.

While most of the codes for site plans and designs were basically the same; the process was streamlined by making it easier and combining the documents needed for the projects uses.

A complete document amending and bringing the San Jacinto Development Code up to date with some commercial zoning changes was approved by the San Jacinto City Council at their regular council meeting Tuesday, April 6.

The approval of the amendments came with a unanimous vote after some discussion. The amendments to the city’s allowable land uses in developments, land uses in commercial and residential zones, special purpose zones, development and use standards, fences, walls and hedges, off street parking and loading standards, accessory structures and uses, site plans and reviews and minor typographical corrections were made after they were approved by the Planning Commission in February which sought to make the development codes simpler for residents and developers to understand.

The amended development code changes will be available soon for review at the city offices or on the city’s website under the minutes of the April 6 meeting.

In other business, the council approved the increase in the MultiSpecies Habitat Conservation Plan fees as recommended by the Western Riverside Council of Governments of which the city is a member. It is a fee in cash or property cities and developers must pay to preserve endangered species in the building area. An increase in fees had not been made for more than 16 years and will result in the commercial and industrial developers paying more than double what they have been paying. The fees become effective July 1 and will run through June 2022.

A chart of the fees was presented in the staff’s report to the council in the meeting.

Earlier in the evening, Mayor Alonso Ledezma proclaimed April as the city Women’s His-

tory Month along with other cities across the country. He also presented Mayor Pro Tem Crystal Ruiz a certificate of recognition for the many years of service she has offered the city since being elected more than a decade ago.

The other councilmembers Phil Ayala, Joel Lopez and Brian Hawkins echoed their praise for Ruiz.

regulations, and he was assured it was by Robert Cardinas, city risk manager.

Under the new hours, the City Hall lobby at 29844 Haun Road will be open for up to nine people Mondays through Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. At the different department windows, three people may be present at one time. If more than three people are needed, they will be directed to a conference room. All virtual offices will remain open during the tier.

At the Menifee Police Department lobby, 29714 Haun Road, Suite A, no more than six people will be allowed from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays.

The city council chambers and the Quail Valley Conference Room at City Hall will permit nine people.

The meetings are held every first and third Wednesday of the month starting at 6 p.m.

Kay Cenicerso Senior Center at 29995 Evans Road and the Lazy Creek Recreation Center, which is still under construction, will be open certain hours with limitations, according to the programs that day.

Before approving the new hours, Liesemeyer asked what the hours would be, if the county entered a lower tier. He was told everything may go back to normal with regular hours at all city facilities on or by July 1, but that date was not for certain.

City manager Armando Villa said the new hours were “a cautious plan.” He said that the hours could change at any time, depending on how the city or county health officers viewed the COVID-19 situation.

“Everything could open up by June 1,” Villa said.

Mayor Pro Tem Lesa Sobek, said she was concerned about older adults whose meals have been delivered to them now that the county has entered the orange tier, considering the earlier loss of the statewide Meals on Wheels program. She was told some people in the program might not continue, but those older adults needing meals would be served at the Kay Ceniceros Senior Center or by delivery. She suggested the city might start its own Meals on Wheels program. She mentioned that the meals

are not all free, it costs participants $3 per meal.

In other business, the council turned its attention to a request to all cities who are members of Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan to approve fee increases in the local development mitigation fees.

The MSHCP provides for areawide protection of endangered or threatened plants and animals and their habitats, while allowing for compatible land use and economic activity. Land owners are asked to pay fees or set aside other lands for protection of the plants or animals that would be lost to construction.

The fees, which are posted in a table on the city’s website under the council agenda report, showed that commercial and industrial developers would now pay sometimes more than double of what they are paying in the MSHCP while residential developers would remain about the same.

Liesemeyer, who is a contractor, questioned the fees and asked why they had increased so much, especially for commercial and industrial properties. His question followed a streamlined public comment from Patrick Ellis of the Menifee Valley Chamber of Commerce who suggested the city and the MSHCP take more time to pass the fee increase until they heard from the chambers of commerce and developers. He said it could restrict the city efforts to bring more commercial and industrial business to the community.

Liesemeyer said he wondered why the county supervisors had not done an earlier study on possible fee increases, instead of suddenly making the huge fee increase. He agreed with Ellis in seeking more time to find an alternative fee increase plan. In the final vote, the city approved the fee increase ordinance with Liesemeyer making the only objection.

The council also watched a demonstration by the city police department’s K-9 officers, Emma and Dino, who showed how they helped officers nab criminals and protect their fellow human officers and help locate firearms and other weapons.

Smoke in utility room prompts evacuation of Winchester school City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

An electrical malfunction sent smoke spiraling into an elevator shaft at a Winchester school Thursday, April 8, prompting evacuations until the source was identified and shut down.

The emergency was reported about 11:15 a.m. at Dorothy McElhinney Middle School in the 32000 block of Briggs Road, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.

An engine crew and truck company were sent to the location, and firefighters encountered light smoke emanating from the utility

room on the bottom floor.

All teachers and students had evacuated into the parking lot while crews investigated, according to reports from the scene.

There was no word on how many had been in the building.

The school, which is part of the Murrieta Valley Unified School District, recommenced classes under a hybrid schedule – parttime distance learning, part-time in-class – recently.

At 11:45 a.m., firefighters secured the malfunctioning panel that caused the smoke, but it was unclear whether classes would resume for the day.

Fentanyl poisonings affect Temecula Valley families Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Jake Jimenez was 23 when he was unwittingly poisoned by ingesting fentanyl. Alexandra Capelouto was 20. Both had been great students, played sports and had many friends and loved ones in their lives. They are just two of the many young adults who died due to drug dealers who are manufacturing counterfeit drugs.

Matt Capelouto of Temecula lost his daughter to fentanyl poisoning in December 2019.

Since Alexandra Capelouto’s death, he connected with DrugInducedHomicide.org to advocate for legislation to make it tougher on drug-dealing criminals in hopes of stemming this epidemic.

“The advantage to drug dealers is that fentanyl is cheap, easy to smuggle into our country and highly addictive,” Matt Capelouto said. “Those who die are merely viewed as collateral damage. The profits and benefits from synthetic drugs far outweigh those of natural plant-based drugs. It’s not that drug dealers want to kill their customers; they simply just don’t care if they do. It’s reprehensible.

Fentanyl has an extremely narrow therapeutic window, meaning the difference between a therapeutic benefit and death is razor thin, microscopic. Drug dealers don’t have the training or skills to handle chemicals of this nature. This is one of the most dangerous chemicals ever made. Only licensed professionals and properly trained chemists should handle this drug.”

Jake Jimenez’s mother, Lisa Jimenez of Winchester, recalled her son as being kind, funny and athletic.

“His smile was so contagious, you couldn’t help but smile back,” she said. “He was always available to help a friend in need. He was good at just about everything he tried.”

Jake Jimenez was physically fit with no known medical conditions and had been a wrestler throughout his time at Chaparral High School and for a year in college.

Lisa Jimenez said her son, who died Sept. 28, 2020, made a poor decision and trusted the wrong person. It was discovered that he had purchased the illegal drug through Snapchat.

“The pill he had was a homemade counterfeit pill made to look like oxycodone, but in reality, it was fentanyl, which is 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine,” Lisa Jimenez said. “It only takes 2 mg to kill someone.”

She said people are being deceived into thinking it’s just one pill and therefore could never kill them, but it can.

“We are an average family, in an average neighborhood, with good kids; this can happen to anyone,” Jimenez said.

She said her other three children are helping to increase awareness about this worsening epidemic.

Wendy Hetherington, chief of epidemiology for public health and principal investigator for its Riverside Overdose Data to Action program, said program activities include improving data reporting and analysis of both fatal and non-fatal overdoses in Riverside County and then using that data to guide prevention activities.

“We have a public facing overdose dashboard and also produce monthly reports,” she said.

Data can be accessed at https:// countyofriverside.maps.arcgis. com/apps/MapSeries/index.html ?appid=5e0ff2f698264ac6bd879 5d6888e14a5.

Its “Overdose Deaths Age Groups and Drug Type” statistics, last updated March 11, showed that deaths from fentanyl are on the rise, from two deaths in 2016 to 80 deaths in 2020 for the 15-24 age group.

While the data provided by county public health is used for programming and training efforts, many parents said it is a misnomer to call their children’s deaths “overdoses” when they died as a result of receiving counterfeit drugs. They said that classifying the deaths as overdoses makes it sound as if their children had some control over what they consumed.

Young people are being duped into thinking they are buying pills such as oxycodone or similar medications. While the parents said they are not accepting of their children using any illicit drugs, they said that bad decisions should not cost them their lives. The

Alexandra Capelouto whose death from fentanyl poisoning in 2019 spurred the creation of Senate Bill 350.

rates of fentanyl deaths are growing, and the parents said it will take education and diligence on everyone’s part to help eradicate the problem.

Capelouto said most illicit fentanyl is made in China and makes its way to Mexico where it is brought across the border.

He has learned much since he got involved with the Drug Induced Homicide group that was started in 2016 by Terry Almanza, whose daughter Sydney was killed by a drug dealer in 2015. Several months after Alexandra was killed, Capelouto helped Almanza turn the group into a national nonprofit organization.

“This is sad to say but don’t believe your kids,” Capelouto said. “I’m going to assume that most parents tried some form of drug at least once when growing up. Whether it was alcohol, marijuana or something else, I’m pretty confident they kept it from their parents. The same experimenting goes on today, except today’s drugs are deadly. Illicit fentanyl has done what no other blackmarket drug has ever done: it kills with a single use. It is killing the casual drug user, the first-time drug user and those self-medicating. This group of non-addicts is now the fastest growing and least recognized demographic for drug-related deaths in the United States. Make sure your kids are aware of fentanyl, especially when it comes to pills. You can presume any pills purchased illegally are fake. The DEA has reported one in four of the black-market pills seized contain a lethal amount of fentanyl. Some say it’s Russian roulette when it comes to taking pills but it’s worse than that; it’s not a matter of if it will kill, it’s a matter of when.”

John Hall, public information officer for the Communications Division of Riverside County district attorney’s office, said the Riverside County Gang Impact Team, which is led by the office’s Bureau of Investigation, seized numerous kilos of fentanyl in the past few weeks.

“Our office has filed seconddegree murder charges in several cases involving fentanyl-related deaths,” Hall said. “You can see news releases on those on our website (http://www.rivcoda.org) or Facebook page.”

Capelouto spearheaded Senate Bill 350, also known as Alexandra’s law, which would have made it easier to charge the person who sold the counterfeit pills to unwitting victims with manslaughter.

The bill needed three out of five votes to pass out of the Senate Public Safety Committee, March 23, but only received one from Sen. Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh, RYucaipa. While California legislators voted not to pass the bill out of committee, parents whose children have been poisoned from these drugs are continuing their fight and exploring all legislative options.

“The fight’s not over, it’s just beginning,” Capelouto said.

“When you’ve lost a child, you’ll go to the ends of the earth, to hell and back to fight for them. I’ll do that until the day I die.”

This is a white board found in the bedroom of a goal-oriented, gainfully employed 25-year-old college graduate from Riverside who recently died by unwittingly ingesting a counterfeit oxycodone pill that was made from fentanyl.

Gabe and Lisa Jimenez at the state capital in March to campaign for the passage of Senate Bill 350, known as Alexandra’s law.

Several parents from California are headed to Arizona, June 13, for Bereaved Parents Day. The city of Prescott has seen a steep increase in fentanyl deaths and members of the Drug Induced Homicide nonprofit want to help bring aware-

ness to the issue. The group also hopes to bring greater national attention to the fentanyl epidemic with the Chinese Embassy rally in Washington, Aug. 27. More information is available at http:// www.poisonedbychina.org.

While other fathers are helping their daughters navigate college, plan their wedding or welcome grandchildren, Capelouto is busy seeking justice for Alex’s homicide.

“I don’t really have any back-

ground that would have prepared me for this,” he said. “I’m a small-business owner of a print shop in Temecula. Owning my business has allowed me to devote a fair amount of time to the cause but it hasn’t been without a financial toll. In conjunction with COVID-19, the last year has been challenging.”

At its regular meeting Tuesday, April 6, Murrieta City Council members heard a presentation from Brian Ambrose Sr., program manager from the city’s Community Services Department, on what was accomplished in the past year during the COVID-19 pandemic. He also shared plans for the near future if things continue to improve.

Ambrose said the Murrieta Public Library, which is reopening with limited hours, April 12, stayed active during its mandated closure.

The library, which is led by Elise Malkowski, deputy director of library services, offered eCards within a week of closing in March 2020, allowing hundreds of new patrons access to the library’s resources. Ambrose said it was the first library in southwest Riverside County to offer curbside services beginning in April 2020 and staff have scheduled and delivered more than 8,000 curbside appointments.

Nearly 4,000 social media posts were created, which reached more than 1.1 million viewers. Story times, reading lists, podcasts, meditations and other activities went live online to help families cope with the pandemic. More than 40,000 families viewed the 76 story times that went live on Facebook.

More than 1,200 Zip Books were mailed to Murrieta Public Library patrons. Programming staff handed out nearly 2,000 Take Home Craft kits to the community. Children’s library staff filled 277 Kid’s Pack requests, putting 1,385 books into the hands of Murrieta’s youth.

Ambrose said Murrieta was one of the first cities in the state to offer a Senior Food Distribution Program after the Parks and Recreation Division’s senior center was closed and no longer able to serve daily meals. He said that with the help of recreation supervisor Jeri Copeland, more than 300,000 meals were distributed to seniors in the community. The senior center will reopen April 12, with programs being reinstituted as soon as feasibly possible. The food distribution program will continue for now.

The Murrieta Community Center has already reopened and is scheduling a limited number of youth classes, such as dance and karate.

While Ambrose credited his depart-

ment’s workforce for remaining productive during the past year, he acknowledged Malkowski and Lea Kolek, manager of the city’s Parks and Community Service department, for stepping forward during this time of crisis.

“Murrieta’s made it through the worst of COVID-19 thanks in part to the contributions of these two leaders,” he said.

Upcoming events that are being planned, barring setbacks, include a small Memorial Day ceremony, May 31, the Tour de Murrieta bicycle race, June 5-6, and a Father’s Day car event, June 19. The department is currently researching plans for Murrieta’s 30th birthday bash and the resumption of concerts and movies in the park.

Ambrose also updated the council on the Murrieta Town Square Amphitheater project which is 95% complete. The next step will be sodding the entire park, which will require fencing off the area to the public for about 1.5 months.

“When it is finished, it will truly be a capstone for the downtown area,” he said.

Mayor Scott Vinton expressed the council’s appreciation and gratitude to five outgoing commissioners, recognizing them for their “leadership and unconditional commitment” in service to the community.

Each was virtually presented with a recognition certificate and gift basket, which will be delivered to them at a future date. Those honored were parks and recreation commissioners Robin Facer and Jerry Hurst, traffic commissioners Brian Barton and Peter Thorwarth and planning commissioner Thomas Butler.

“It is because of individuals like yourselves that the city of Murrieta is truly connected by community,” Vinton said.

Council members presented two proclamations, officially declaring the month of April as DMV/ Donate Life Month in conjunction with OneLegacy and designating May as Conservation Appreciation month in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Riverside County Habitat Conservation Agency.

The next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. April 20.

Further information about how to access the meeting can be found on the agenda when it is posted at http://onbase.murrietaca.gov/ onbaseagendaonline.

What Should I Do?

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

I know we have all been faced with a situation where it is just not clear what decision we should make. There seems to be too many choices, and we just can not decide.

I think in those times we don’t choose to make a decision. Focus on something else until clarity comes through and then we choose. I like to believe God is then helping me decide what to do...and with Faith in Him...I know the choice is right for the moment. I like choices that are motivated by “What would God have me do.” – Ken

Nothing stops Menifee’s active nonagenarian Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Margaret “Mickie” Warner moved to the Sun City community in Menifee in 1985 when her husband Johnnie Warner retired.

But she said she wasn’t ready to slow down and quickly became involved with many activities in her new town. A lifelong artist, the 95-year-old has been a member of Arts Council Menifee for the past four years and shows her work there every chance she gets.

She has been a member of the Sun City Art Guild for 36 years and served as its president for four years and managed the Sun City Art Galleria store for 13 years. Warner was born and raised in Illinois and her interest in art started in childhood.

When she was only 3 years old, Warner’s parents and a brother were killed in a railroad crossing accident.

She, her two sisters and another brother were each taken in by four maternal aunts.

“I was raised by Aunt Fran and Uncle Art with their two sons,” Warner said.

Her aunt was not an artist, Warner said, but she loved to draw. Warner started drawing Mickey Mouse cartoons on a chalkboard when she was about 5 years old and it led to her being nicknamed “Mickie” which she’s still known by today.

She said after the couple divorced when she was about 11 years old, the three children were left on their own much of the time and survived

SIBLINGS from page A-1 years and accepted the newest ones right away, Pam Willis said.

The seven foster siblings who became members of the Willis family were involved in a car accident that resulted in the immediate deaths of their mother and father in San Diego County. All the children suffered some degree of injury but have since recovered.

Willis said she saw a Facebook post about the children in January 2019, and she and her husband met the children two months later.

They had weekly visits to get acquainted and shared overnight visits and hangouts at the Willis home until the children completed their school classes. The seven siblings went to live in Menifee full time June 7, 2019. Willis took leave from her work as an attorney for the summer to help them get settled, she said.

“We weren’t really searching to adopt. We were just planning to always foster, but when we saw the news story about these kids needing a forever home, it hit us both so hard that we knew we were the ones who were supposed to be their parents,” Pam Willis said.

“The courts shut down four days before our court date for adoption was scheduled because of COVID-19. We ended up being able to do an adoption through Zoom on Aug. 7.”

on popcorn, bread and cereal. After graduating from high school, Warner completed a six-week course at a communications school in Nebraska and became a Morse code operator for Union Pacific Railroad in Oregon.

“I had to tie the Morse code train orders onto three long poles, stand2 feet from the tracks and push the poles up to give the orders to the engineer, conductor and brakeman, as the trains passed by at 90 mph while carrying the troops,” she said.

After her interest shifted to the aircraft industry, Warner moved to California and got a job as a keypunch operator on the night shift at Northrop Grumman Corporation in 1944. That is where she met her husband, Johnnie, who was soon drafted into the U.S. Army. The couple married and had two daughters.

They now have four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Warner took adult art classes during the 38 years the family lived in Gardena, taught art classes in her home and joined the Gardena Valley Art Association. In the 1970s, members participated in workshops taught by well-known local artists such as Violet Parkhurst, Michael Brennan and Linda Lee. During showings of her works, Warner sold more than 500 paintings.

After moving to Sun City, the first club Warner joined was the Yoga Club, taught by a lady named Nova.

After Nova’s passing at the age of 93, Warner volunteered to teach the class and has been doing so for the past 28 years.

“I’m still using her technique of

total body stretching and breathing,” Warner she said. “I also led classes for a short time at the Sun City Fitness Center.”

All classes were put on pause during the past year due to COVID-19, but Warner has stayed busy with gardening, cooking, riding her bicycle and painting.

“I love to do seascapes and landscapes, working mostly from memory and photographs,” Warner said.

“I try to set up every Saturday afternoon at the Arts Council Menifee Art and Boutique; our sales help support the Menifee Valley Community Cupboard and Thrift Shop.”

Warner said she has never been hospitalized or had any broken bones or surgeries during her lifetime, nor has she had any accidents or traffic tickets in the 75 years she has been driving.

“The Lord has blessed me with excellent health,” she said. “I attribute my excellent health to the Lord and healthy lifestyle to living in Sun City for 36 years.”

The Arts Council Menifee Art and Boutique, 26928 Cherry Hills Blvd., in Menifee is run in collaboration with the Menifee Valley Community Cupboard and Thrift Shop. It is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturdays. Two or three artists are featured at the Saturday Sidewalk Art Sales events. Visitors must follow current state and county health orders, wear a face mask and practice social distancing.

She said the children, who are ages four through 15, fit right into the family as they were finally felt security after such an upheaval in their lives.

After 15 years in the U.S. Navy and another 15 years with the U.S. Postal Service, Gary Willis retired in 2020. He is now a full-time father with a nanny to help during the day, while Pam Willis works from her home office.

“I will be working for quite a while to continue supporting this big, lovely family,” she said.

The seven children’s biological parents were both raised in foster care themselves, so they didn’t have much contact with family members in Las Vegas, where the children were raised. They do have an adult half-sister in Las Vegas that they keep in touch with, plus a couple of family friends, Willis said.

She said the biggest challenges have been the ones that come with any child who has been through the foster system: childhood trauma, which manifests differently in every child. The siblings had a rough childhood with parents who sunk deeply into drug addiction. They experienced a time of homelessness and suffered injuries in the car accident that took their parents’ lives. After that, they were living in foster care for a year, not knowing what their futures held.

“These kids went through a lot

of hardships before we met them,” she said. “Their trauma and grief are something that we’ve worked hard to help them each navigate through. Luckily, from our years of caring for foster children, we have had lots of practice with kiddos who struggle in these ways. I think we were as prepared as we could have been, but we’re still learning all the time.”

Willis said the best times are when the couple gets to take the children to experience something new. Early in 2020, they took them to Disneyland and on their first airplane ride. They began horseback riding therapy, visited Big Bear when it snowed and loved going to the beach.

“The joy of watching new experiences through a child’s eyes is definitely the highlight – especially watching it through the older ones’ eyes, because they appreciate these new experiences even more,” she said.

Willis said that coordinating remote learning for all the children since March 2020 has been challenging.

“Without our amazing nanny we would have never been able to accomplish it so seamlessly,” she said. “Thankfully most of the kids were used to three days of home schooling already through the hybrid model charter school they attended, so the transition for them was not as difficult as it probably was for some other children.”

The school also offered programs that they could join such as sports, art class, STEM workshop, gardening and drama. She said they liked those activities and are looking forward to participating again once the pandemic threat subsides.

“For now, the kids are enjoying being free to play outside in the neighborhood and attend church youth group activities,” Pam Willis said. “Three of the littlest ones

have learned to ride bikes since they’ve been here. They’ve all learned to roller skate, and the little ones have learned to swim. Our oldest was in ROTC at his high school before COVID-19, and he really enjoyed that.”

She said everyone was aching for things to open again so that they can get back to doing things they love and having new adventures.

“Some community members have invited the kids to do things at their businesses as a gift and that’s been so wonderful to see. We got

to go to the Laughing Llama in Fallbrook as their guests, and the amazing Dr. Erickson at Erickson Orthodontics in Menifee even gifted braces to the kids,” she said.

“There are so many giving, loving hearts in this valley, and the kids deserve all of the love that anyone wants to share with them.”

Community gathers for annual March of Remembrance in Murrieta

While following social distancing guidelines, small groups of people walk around the 412 Church building during the March of Remembrance and stop at a number of stations to learn about the concentration camps where millions died during the Holocaust.

Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The annual March of Remembrance, organized by the Holocaust Remembrance Foundation of the Valley, was pared down, Sunday, April 11, from past events due to COVID-19 restrictions on large gatherings. About 150 people gathered at Murrieta’s 412 Church to preserve the memory of the Holocaust and remember the millions of Jewish lives that were lost. Two sessions were held

to accommodate everyone with some inside the church viewing video messages and others outside.

Temecula resident Yael Salomon, who is a member of the foundation that is an affiliate of the March of Remembrance organization, said Remembrance Day is a very emotional one for all involved. She reflected on firsthand accounts of the atrocities she heard from her mother-in-law and other relatives. She said growing up in Israel, the Holocaust was discussed openly as some of her

teachers were Holocaust survivors and many memorial events are held there.

“It is a very sad day,” Salomon said. “It will take me about two days to be able to move forward again.”

Despite strong community support for this event and its purpose of bringing awareness to the next generations, organizers were disturbed when they learned that some young people had tried to cause trouble.

“Some of our staff arrived early

(Sunday) morning and found 1520 extremely vile and anti-Semitic flyers taped up on the outside wall of our building, near our front entrance,” Simon Cooper, executive pastor of 412 Church, said. “We noticed later that some of these flyers were also taped up to power poles going up Jefferson Avenue, which some of our volunteers went and removed.”

Cooper took all the information he had to the Murrieta Police Department to document the incident and request extra patrols during the

planned March of Remembrance activities that afternoon. He said he believed the event and those who were putting it on were the intended targets of the posted messages. Cooper was told by an officer that because no vandalism was done, it would not be classified as a hate crime.

Riverside county reports 545 new coronavirus cases, 11 deaths since Friday, April 9 City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Riverside County reported 545 newly confirmed coronavirus cases, 11 additional virus-related deaths and a slight bump in hospitalizations Tuesday, April 13.

The numbers were released Monday by the Riverside University Health System, and also cover Saturday and Sunday. The RUHS does not provide updated COVID-19 statistics on weekends.

The total number of COVID-19 cases recorded since the public health documentation period began in March 2020 grew to 296,635, with 4,492 verified COVID-related fatalities.

The agency reported that 90 coronavirus patients were being treated in hospitals countywide as of Monday, one more than Friday.

That figure includes 20 intensive care unit patients, three fewer than Friday.

The number of known active virus cases countywide was 2,158, down 53. The active count is derived by subtracting deaths and recoveries from the current total – 296,635 – according to the county Executive Office.

The coronavirus positivity rate countywide is 2%, compared to 2.3% two weeks ago. The state-adjusted case rate is 3.5 per 100,000 people, which reflects a rolling seven-day average. It was

Temecula City Council calls for pedestrian signal upgrade bids Joe Naiman WRITER

The Temecula City Council approved the bid process to upgrade pedestrian signal equipment at 44 intersections.

The 5-0 city council vote Tuesday, March 23, approved the plans and specifications for the equipment upgrade, authorized the city’s Department of Public Works to solicit construction bids for the project and found the upgrades of existing facilities categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review. The city obtained a $908,200 Highway Safety Improvement Program grant funded by the Federal Highway Administration for the signal upgrades, and it will cover the estimated construction cost of

$857,340 along with contingencies and administrative expenses.

The upgrades will provide pedestrian countdown signal heads and push-button equipment meeting Americans with Disabilities Act standards at all 44 intersections. Controller units will be upgraded from Type 170 code-based to Type 2070 menu-driven at 32 intersections along major corridors including Butterfield Stage Road, Jefferson Avenue, Margarita Road, Pechanga Parkway, Rancho California Road, Redhawk Parkway, Temecula Parkway and Ynez Road.

The March 23 motion included inquiring about audio countdowns as part of the upgrades.

4.1 per 100,000 two weeks ago.

Riverside County is now in the orange tier of the state’s public health regulatory system. The county had been in the red tier of the “Blueprint for a Safer Economy” framework since March 16, after five months in the most restrictive purple tier, before upgrading to the orange tier recently.

According to the California Department of Public Health, orange criteria permit retail businesses to fully open, while 50% attendance caps are supposed to be observed in restaurants, museums, movie theaters and zoos. The guidelines call for gyms, wineries and bars to maintain 25% caps.

Beginning Thursday, receptions

and conferences can be held with up to 150 attendees, on the condition that they, at minimum, be tested for coronavirus.

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced recently that the target date for an end to all restrictions on businesses, gatherings and recreation throughout the state is June 15 – provided there are no signs of a backward slide.

The county’s metrics are squarely in the orange qualifier, but still just outside the parameters set for yellow tier status, which represents “minimal” presence of the virus.

Also beginning Thursday, residents as young as 16 years old will be eligible for immunization statewide, including Riverside County,

although 16-year-olds – who must bring their parents or guardians – can already get inoculated at four county health clinics.

Some facilities continue to open their doors to accommodate people without appointments due to an influx of unfilled appointment slots, which was the case Monday at the Palm Springs Convention Center.

The portal to make an appointment for vaccination at county-run and other sites, if needed, can be accessed via http://www.rivcoph. org/COVID-19-Vaccine.

Anyone who needs assistance may also call the county’s 211 help line.

EXPANSION from page A-1 are still in the design phase, construction may begin soon, according to the architect, Paul Morgan.

When it does, it is expected to bring as many as 1,600 design and construction jobs as well as hundreds of new medical jobs, a boon to the Inland Valley.

“We have been planning this expansion for quite some time and we are now excited to move into the next phase,” Jared Giles, CEO of Southwest Healthcare System, said. “Our teams do an amazing job at delivering award-winning, quality care to our patients and their families and with the expansion and renovation projects on both campuses, we will be able to deliver leading-edge care to more patients.

“It’s been a long time coming,” Giles said. “I believe we have settled on one (of 25 options) that will allow Southwest Healthcare

System to thrive for years to come as well as allowing for future expansion when that time arrives.”

What will the new expansion offer?

The new seven-story patient tower at Inland Valley will feature modern, state-of-the-art private patient rooms, installation of leading-edge clinical technologies for minimally invasive procedures and advanced therapies and globally sustainable infrastructure enhancements including energy-efficient LED fixtures and solar panels. The Inland Valley Campus will continue to feature the award-winning services of bariatric weight-loss surgery, the total joint program for hip, knee and shoulder replacement, as well as surgical services for spine and the region’s only Level II American College of Surgeons Verified Trauma Center.

Those attending were assured that the expansion to come will not interfere with the current services offered by the Inland Valley Health Center and its other properties including the Rancho Springs Medical Center and Rady’s Children’s Hospital all operated by the Southwest Healthcare System, a Fortune 500 corporation.

Justin Nigg, mayor of Wildomar, attended the event and said of the expansion project, “It’s a great investment for our community. A great investment for our region.

It benefits the entire jobless community, and it’s the only Level 2

Trauma Center building we have in the community.”

He said in a brief address to the attendees the expansion it of great benefit for the community and thanked Southwest Healthcare System for their investment.

“The partnership between the hospital and the city and the region itself and I am thankful for the investment,” he said.

He introduced other members of the council and staff who were also at the event.

Joan Sparkman, chair of the Inland Valley board, spoke, lauding the expansion plans, and the Southwest Healthcare System’s major representative said she knew Nigg a long time before approving the plans.

“I am especially proud of the city of Wildomar for all their support for a very long time for this,” Sparkman said.

She said she was pleased with the economic development the project would bring the Valley.

“It really brings great jobs and that is really important to our community,” she said.

With the ceremonies concluded, Morgan and Ashlee Collins, marketing manager of Inland Valley Medical Center, invited the guests to celebrate with a cake, designed

LIV ING T R U ST LAW Y ER

C AN ANSW ER :

Can I make my own living trust? B

efore hiring an estate planning lawyer, some look at the cheap “ do-it-yourself” approach. Generic prepack aged trusts and sample estate plans are widely available on the internet. These assembly-line type trusts are peddled to a mass audience. O ur typical client is very sk illed at what they do for a living, but most clients are not of the legal mind to differentiate fast and convenient trusts from a comprehensive, ironclad living trust. Our pricing structure also allows I ronclad L iving Trusts to provide you a great trust pack age at a great price.

A will suffers from many limitations. Contrary to the belief of many clients, a will often does not avoid the probate of many valuable assets. F or ex ample, a will that attempts to pass a specific savings account which holds the sum of $200,000 will be probated. A will also cannot pass title to real property without that will being probated. A revocable living trust is the vastly superior means for protecting your estate and passing on the max imum amount of your wealth.

Which is better a will or a living trust?

Why cannot husband and wife simply keep all assets jointly titled and forget about a Living Trust? The generational passing of a married couples’ assets is very important to achieve. I f a living trust is not in place, the surviving spouse can do whatever they want with assets, such as adding a stranger to title on the family home. A living trust would put the brak es on such a scenario and safeguard against property escaping the nex t generation.

Other protections afforded by a living trust include preservation of the beneficiary’s inheritance and insulating assets from an estate recovery.

Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Easter Bunny greeted Soboba Triba l Preschool students as they took a socially distanced walk outside of a bui lding Friday, April 2. With an enrollment of 76 students from ages two through six, the staff prepared treats for all the students and sib lings who attended be tween 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Each teacher made special goodie b ags for their own students but offered toys and sweets for all that v isited on the Friday b efore the start of spring b reak.

There were coloring b ooks, b ub b le sticks, wristb ands, cookies and Peeps marshmallow candies which serve d as the theme for the entire eve nt.

Antonia Briones- Venegas is an aide for the kindergarten class and said the school’s closure due to COVID- 19 ha s presented challenges for the students as well as the staff. Some children have parents who work and were spending their weekdays at different homes of relative s and ba bys itters so the consistency of the same envi ronment while they attended online class was disrupted.

“It was hard be cause it wasn’t just ab out them learning their ABCs and numbe rs – we were not abl e to be there to guide them on how to hold a pencil properly or how to cut with scissors,” she said.

“When they are here with us, they learn by watching and copying us and their classmates.”

She said all students reacted differently to the change because so many factors determine success such as b eing the youngest with sibl ings who had be en through the program b efore, hav ing a strong support system at home and/ or havi ng a parent who was willing to ba sically take on the role of a teacher each day.

Kindergarten teacher Cindy Lee said distance learning success also depends on the type of learner a child is: vi sual, audio or kinesthetic/ tactile. Some children also do be tter when they can feed off the social aspect of being in a classroom setting.

Preschool director Donov an Post said the plan is to hav e inperson learning resume in August with all the proper protocols in place to make sure the return of students is as seamless as possib le.

Summer school and one- on- one tutoring will be offered virtually throughout the summer session.

Briones- Venegas has four sons, ranging in age from 8 to 17 and she has be en helping them with their schooling since March 2020. She has seen it affect her boys in different ways and has seen a va riety of reactions by parents and teachers.

“Telling kids they are b ehind b ecause of these circumstances will only br ing them down,” she said.

“No one knew exactly what to do – we all had to find our way during this pandemic, eve n teachers.

Jayden, Lupita and Rheya Miranda pose with the aster unny at an outdoor aster and before spring break event at Soboba Tribal Preschool.

Expectations should be adjusted.”

During the week leading up to spring b reak, the students got to do Easter- related activ ities with their teachers online such as using jellybe ans to tally up numbe rs and a science experiment to see if a Peeps candy bunny would melt in water.

“We went out of our way to make sure each child got exactly what they needed to participate in

these activ ities,” Briones- Venegas said. “We didn’t just send home a list and expect parents to go out and b uy these things. We also wanted our kids to have a chance to do things hands- on and not just watch the teacher do it.”

Lee said a recent v isit b y the Noli Indian School b ookmob ile allowed teachers to talk to the students ab out the b ook they chose and listen to them read from it.

Sibl ings and parents were also offered a book and that showed the youngest children how important reading is to eve ryone, turning it into a family eve nt.

Lee said they are so proud when parents of former students share with them awards their children get for reading or other academic achiev ement once they have mov ed on to publ ic schools.

“We are grateful that our Triba l

Soboba Tribal Preschool teachers and staff, along with the aster unny, greet students at an outdoor event full of treats, toys and take-home activities.

Council allows us to do outdoor parties like this Easter one today b ecause it helps us keep in contact with the parents and interact with our students and some of our former students,” Briones- Venegas said.

A classroom door inside the Soboba Tribal Preschool provides a positive message to students and staff who have been experiencing lots of changes this school year due to the pandemic.

Learn about world history with these childfriendly methods Family Features SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Building an appreciation for history is one way to help children understand and connect with the world around them. History not only shows how people live d long ago, but it also give s clues abou t how society evol ve d into what it is today.

From playing games and vi siting museums to exploring cultural heritage sites vi rtually, there’s no shortage of ways to engage children in fun history lessons.

Historical literature From traditional b ound b ooks to digital formats, there’s a practically endless list of titles dedicated to historical people, places and ev ents. If a child has an interest in a particular topic, consider starting with an age- appropriate nonfiction book that gives a highlev el perspectiv e of the topic.

Then delv e deeper b y looking into bi ographies about the people involved and related fictional tales to bu ild knowledge and a br oader perspective .

M ovies or theater Like books , there are hundreds of options for historically themed mov ies and theatrical productions.

All parents need to do is pick a topic or era. It can also b e fun to look at how different movies depict the same historical topic at different points in time. Watching different genres can help give a fuller picture of an eve nt or topic.

Informativ e documentaries and

entertaining historical dramas are also options for looking into the past.

Virtual tours Another way to look at history is through v isiting historical destinations with cultural significance.

Trave l isn’t always practical, but families can go nearly anywhere in the world with a v irtual tour where they can move around sites and monuments to see the details up close. An option like Flyove r Zone’s app- ba sed tours take them a step b eyond seeing the monuments as they look today and show v irtual reconstructions of how they originally looked.

One example is “Baalb ek Rebor n,” a tour of Baalbe k, a World Heritage Site in Leb anon, that dates b ack thousands of years.

With this free v irtual tour, families can explore the ancient city of Heliopolis, meaning “City of the Sun,” in Roman times. Experts from the German Archaeological Institute who explored the site guide v isitors through the tour and show them treasures that hav e b een compared to some of Rome’s most impressive landmarks.

Online classes Numerous organizations offer online classes that let people learn ab out a wide range of historical subjects. Some may offer credit toward a diploma or college degree, but many are simply for the joy of learning. Check with a local libr ary and search the internet for additional options. Many classes are offered for free and, in most

Cultural events Ev ents that celeb rate cultural heritage provi de a unique look at history and the way it influences modern times. These celebr ations often include a well- rounded sampling of ev erything from traditions to culinary and artistic styles. Find lectures, demonstrations, performances, sampling and more while exploring the div erse aspects of almost any chosen culture.

Historical games Play is an important way that children learn, and historical games can provi de insight to the past. While some are more historically accurate than others, games set in a historic time period can provi de insight about the scenery,

lifestyle and customs of the era.

Historic v ideo and b oard games can pique an interest in learning more about history through other methods.

M useum exp loration Collections of artifacts or replicas in museums can br ing history to life in a tangib le way. Especially for younger children, understanding historical details can b e difficult. Seeing museum displays ab out the kinds of homes or dishes or utensils a historic family used, howev er, lets children connect a v isual reference with stories they’v e heard, lending a greater sense of reality.

SoCalGas and Rancho Water to offer no-cost energy- and watersaving upgrades to eligible residents LOS ANGELES – Southern California Gas Co. and Rancho California Water District announced Friday, April 9 , the two utilities will team up to prov ide energy efficiency and water-saving upgrades at no cost to income- eligib le residents in the companies’ ov erlapping serv ice areas.

The energy efficiency upgrades are part of SoCalGas’ Energy Sav ings Assistance Program. Rancho Water has prov ided $ 40,000 for water- sav ing upgrades in addition to SoCalGas’ upgrades. Residents who liv e in the cities of Temecula, Murrieta and unincorporated areas of southwest Riv erside County may b e eligib le for the no- cost improv ements.

“SoCalGas b eliev es in the importance of reducing env ironmental impact and prov iding customers with the tools they need to not only conserv e energy b ut sav e money on their utility b ills,” Brian Prusnek, director of customer programs and assistance at SoCalGas, said.

“We’re pleased to join forces with the Rancho California Water District for this effort.”

Through the ESA program, qualifying customers in SoCalGas and Rancho Water’s serv ice territories can receiv e energy- and waterefficient upgrades such as low-flow kitchen and b ath faucet aerators, low flow showerheads, thermostatic shower v alv es and thermostatic tub spouts. Customers qualify for this

program if they receiv e b enefits from any numb er of programs, including Medi- Cal/ Medicaid, Women, Infants & Children, CalFresh or the National School Lunch Program, and if their total household income qualifies. Customers who hav e b een impacted b y COVID- 19 or who hav e experienced a change in their income may also now qualify.

“Water and energy efficiency is such an important topic for Rancho Water and for our customers. We are proud to offer SoCalGas this funding so they can, in turn, help low income and COVID- impacted residents find cost savings through more efficient appliances and home fittings,” Robert Grantham, general manager of Rancho Water, said.

“As California is always faced with possib le drought, Rancho Water encourages all of our customers to check their homes and b usinesses for opportunities to b e more water wise.”

The SoCalGas ESA program prov ides eligib le customers with home improv ements, at no cost to the renter or homeowner that help conserv e energy, reduce natural gas use and enhance the safety, health and comfort of the renter or homeowner. SoCalGas prov ides this serv ice to approximately 100,000 customers each year. Ov er 1.5 million homes hav e receiv ed upgrades through the ESA program.

“Not only does this program sav e

energy and help the env ironment, it also sav es money for those customers in the SoCalGas and Rancho California Water District serv ice territories,” Temecula City Councilmemb er Matt Rahn said.

“By offering these upgrades, Rancho Water and SoCalGas help the district’s customers sav e energy and money,” Chuck Washington, Riv erside County superv isor, said.

In the last five years, SoCalGas’ energy efficiency programs have generated ov er $ 1 b illion in av oided energy costs and deliv ered more than 219 million therms in energy sav ings, enough natural gas usage for 5 48,000 households a year.

These energy sav ings reduced greenhouse gas emissions b y 1.15 million metric tons of carb on dioxide, the equiv alent of remov ing more than 25 0,000 cars from the road annually. Ov erall, these measures hav e helped SoCalGas customers sav e ov er $ 241 million on their natural gas b ill costs ov er the past five years.

In 2020, the company’s energy efficiency programs helped conserve more energy than any other natural gas utility in the U.S. SoCalGas’ energy efficiency programs saved enough energy to power 100,000 homes in southern California for one year. The utility inv ests more in energy efficiency than any other local natural gas distrib ution company in the country and currently operates the largest natural gas

energy efficiency program.

SoCalGas also recently announced its commitment to achiev e net zero greenhouse gas emissions in its operations and deliv ery of energy b y 2045 , reducing not only the company’s own direct emissions, b ut also those generated b y its customers to support a carb on neutral economy.

CalTrout celebrates 50 years of water and fishery restoration and protection SAN FRANCISCO – California Trout, a conservation nonprofit that works to protect the state’s wild rivers and fish, marks its 50th anniversary this year. Leveraging five decades of science- b ased watershed stewardship and a track record of collab orativ e restoration work, CalTrout assemb led a statewide team of scientists and project managers to create replicab le models for fish restoration over the coming decades within California’s heav ily managed water landscape.

Activ e CalTrout projects in Orange and San Diego counties include: restoring ocean access to an isolated rainb ow trout population with genetic steelhead lineage in Pauma Creek in San Diego County; removal of a fish passage b arrier on Trab uco Creek in Orange County to prov ide access to 15 miles of high- quality spawning and rearing hab itat for endangered southern steelhead and restoring hab itat and remov ing a high priority fish passage barrier on the Santa Margarita Riv er, which b egins in Riv erside County and meets the ocean in San Diego County, to benefit the recovery of southern steelhead.

“We are incredib ly proud of the impact we’v e made across the state over the past five decades,” Curtis Knight, executiv e director of CalTrout, said. “But we also know our work has only b egun. While we honor our past, now is the time to focus on the future, toward what we will accomplish in the next 5 0 years as the state faces more people, more wildfires, and more threats from climate change than ev er b efore. We hav e b een a part of many moments that made history and we intend to

play a b ig role in helping write the story of what comes next for fish and riv ers in California in this era of climate change.”

CalTrout developed an effort in the Central Valley to lev erage fallowed farm fields to provide food and hab itat for struggling nativ e fish populations, including endangered winter- run Chinook salmon.

CalTrout was also one of dozens of organizations that signed an agreement that calls for the remov al for four outdated Klamath Riv er dams. When those dams are removed in 2023, migratory fish like salmon and steelhead will regain access to more than 300 miles of hab itat. Dam remov al will significantly increase water quality, enab le the expansion of a riv er- centered recreational economy in rural communities throughout the b asin and support trib es in the region who have relied on salmon fishing for sub sistence and ceremonial purposes. CalTrout also partnered with landowners in the Shasta and Scott Riv er Basins, important trib utaries to the Klamath, to improv e hab itat and increase stream flows for native fish when the dams come down.

CalTrout was awarded $ 21.7 million in grants in 2020- 2021 from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Fisheries Restoration Grant Program; State Coastal Conserv ancy and the Wildlife Conserv ation Board, among others, for a range of projects spanning the state.

As part of CalTrout’s 5 0th anniv ersary year, the organization is highlighting accomplishments from its first five decades.

In 19 71, CalTrout set out to prove the concept of managing fisheries for wild trout, using its Hat

Creek Demonstration Project as the template. Presently, the CDFW Wild Trout Program designates and protects 5 9 wild trout waters.

CalTrout adv ocated for the California Wild & Scenic Riv ers Act, which former Gov . Ronald Reagan signed into law in 19 72. Currently, the state has 15 riv ers under this designation and 2,000 miles of water under federal Wild & Scenic Riv ers designation.

CalTrout was the lead plaintiff in two seminal lawsuits in 19 85 and 19 9 0 that laid the groundwork for pub lic trust law throughout California and ultimately ensured that the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power account for the needs of wild trout when div erting water out of the Eastern Sierras to support the water needs of the metropolis.

To assess the risk of losing native fish, CalTrout and University of California Dav is’ Center for Watershed Sciences collab orated in preparing State of the Salmonids II: Fish in Hot Water, an in- depth report that details the status of California’s 32 nativ e salmon, steelhead and trout. At the current rate, 45 % of California salmonids could b e extinct in the next 5 0 years, according to the report.

“For 5 0 years, CalTrout has b een a true champion for env ironmental justice in California,” Paul Vais, chair of the California Trout b oard, said. “Initially through legal and legislativ e processes, CalTrout rev ersed the momentum of exploitiv e practices that had squandered precious California resources for decades. In doing so, CalTrout defined water and wildlife management policies that hav e had profound impact in California and

much of the American West.”

CalTrout’s future projects include replacing a b ridge to free the first Southern California river from headwaters- to- sea to prov ide passage for wildlife and people on the Santa Margarita River; finding a new model of resource management in the Russian and Eel riv er b asins that includes the remov al of Scott Dam on the Eel Riv er, in collab oration with trib al partners, water agencies, counties and other NGOs and restoring meadows in the Sierra to increase rates of carb on capture and improv e hab itat for wild trout while improv ing water security for people.

“With time, our science- b ased approach and competent leader-

ship has marshaled div erse stakeholder groups, secured sub stantiv e gov ernment funding and created lasting landscape scale change, to the benefit of our native fish,” Vais said. “Looking forward to the next 5 0 years, where climate change will accelerate the threat lev el to our nativ e species, we commit to growing in scope and impact to rise to the challenge. We know how to get it done. All Californians benefit from equitab le use of our natural resources and a commitment to preserv e our extraordinary natural history.”

TEMECULA – Temecula resident Denyse Wilson, chair of the 2021 Southwest Riv erside County Heart & Stroke Walk, knows firsthand ab out the importance of heart knowledge when it comes to health and wellness.

“I didn’t know the warning signs of heart disease. I had fatigue,

shortness of b reath, etc., b ut I didn’t think I had any prob lems with my heart,” Wilson said. “I was diagnosed with atrial septal defect ( a hole in my heart), and the signs were there, b ut I had no idea what was going on.”

Wilson ended up hav ing open heart surgery nine years ago to repair the hole, something she had unknowingly b een liv ing with since b irth.

Currently, she is an adv ocate for healthy lifestyles and pub lic awareness. She stepped up as a community health champion v ia her inv olv ement with the American Heart Association. She shared her memories ab out the person who introduced her to the American Heart Association.

“People ask me what got me inv olv ed with the American Heart Association? Well, it was a candy striper at the hospital where I had my surgery,” Wilson said with a smile.

According to her, Lou was a v olunteer at the hospital who talked to all the heart patients. “He told me ‘ Your life from today will nev er b e the same, b ut that’s a good thing,’” she said.

He told Wilson she had to get

connected with the American Heart Association. And she did.

“As soon as I was discharged, I started Googling the American Heart Association in my area,” she said. “And that is how I got connected with Southwest Riv erside County Heart & Stroke Walk.

“When I signed on to lead the American Heart Association’s 2021 Southwest Riv erside Heart Walk campaign, I nev er imagined that we’d find ourselves in the midst of a pandemic,” Wilson said. “But here we are. And while so much may hav e changed, the American Heart Association’s mission to b e a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier liv es has not. In fact, the need to prioritize health and wellness is ev en greater.”

Studies showed that one out of ev ery four hospitalized COVID- 19 patients had cardiov ascular disease. Studies also indicated that COVID- 19 may hav e a prolonged impact on heart health in those who hav e recov ered from illness and may hav e caused cardiac infection in those who died.

The 2021 Southwest Riv erside County Heart & Stroke Walk Digital Experience will culminate Saturday, April 17. Wilson urged

ev eryone to v isit http: / / www.heartwalk.org to learn more and register.

“Inv ite your friends and family, take photos, connect v ia zoom and walk together. Each step you take is step toward a healthier heart, and each smile you create is a step toward a healthier you,” Wilson said.

She also recommended sharing what you do to stay activ e.

“Tag us @AHASouthernCA and use #SWRCHeartWalk to further connect and encourage others,” she said. “The American Heart Association is not just in southwest Riv erside County for the Heart Walk.

We are here ev ery day. And we are focused on creating a healthier, more equitab le, southwest Riv erside County. The Heart & Stroke Walk is a celeb ration of the choices we make, and it does not stop with the Heart and Stroke Walk either.

In fact, for some, it could b e a great place to b egin their path toward a healthier lifestyle, to learn more ab out what they can do.

“Let’s be honest. The first step is always the most difficult. And you are not alone,” she said.

Wilson encouraged ev eryone to join her on her path, adding that the American Heart Association has a lot of knowledge and information

that is free to the community.

“Let us show you the tools that we hav e to help you make healthier choices,” Wilson said. “That’s our goal. We want to engage more people. We need to engage more people. And that is what I am excited ab out. We can make an impact. And it can happen one step at a time.”

The American Heart Association fights heart diseases and stroke, the No. 1 and No. 5 killers of all Americans, b y making the places they liv e, learn, work, play, pray and heal healthier with an emphasis on improv ing access to healthy food, b lood pressure management and reducing tob acco’s toll. Funds raised at the Southwest Riv erside County Heart & Stroke Walk will benefit the American Heart Association’s cardiov ascular research efforts, community education outreach and other mission- related work.

The Southwest Riv erside Heart and Stroke Walk is locally sponsored b y Ab b ott Vascular; Anza Electric Cooperativ e Inc.; Southwest Healthcare System and Mt. San Jacinto College.

Discover these trending vacation habits in 2021 Family Features SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

For many trav elers itching to go on vacation, 2021 offers plenty of opportunities to get out and go.

Whether it’s heading to an outdoor escape or cozying up with lov ed ones while enjoying be autiful surroundings, v acation is on the minds of many.

To identify which trends will shape trav el in the coming months, the 2021 Vrb o Trend Report included data from its glob al v acation rental marketplace along with surv ey data from family trav elers around the world.

When planning your next v acation, keep these trends in mind: Finding fresh air Heading to the great outdoors for adv enture has long b een a popular form of trav el, and that desire will likely reach new heights in 2021.

After a year of isolation and uncertainty, many families are seeking the serenity and escape of the wilderness.

According to the surv ey, four of the top five emerging destinations for 2021 are near lakes, riv ers or streams where families can camp, hike and fish. At the top of the list, Emory, Texas, is an hour driv e from Dallas where Lake Fork offers a top fishing spot for catching largemouth b ass, and the area is also home to the A.C. McMillan African American Museum.

Also making the list are the Red Riv er Gorge in Slade, Kentucky, which is near Mammoth Cav e National Park, and Ab ermarle Sound, the gateway to North Carolina’s legendary Outer Banks where b ald eagles, peregrine falcons and other storied high-flyers are abundant.

Cozy is king The search for coziness and com-

fort is nothing new for trav elers, and the pandemic has only heightened the need for a place to relax and unwind.

Many trav elers looking for an escape are opting for cab ins and chalets, which prov ide inv iting spaces to make family memories while also recharging the prov erb ial b atteries.

Typically nestled near mountainsides, forests and lakes, cab ins and chalets offer open spaces so families can leav e b ehind the hustle and b ustle of ev eryday life while b eing surrounded b y natural b eauty, which has led to an increase in demand for Vrb o cab ins b y nearly 25 % and chalets b y almost 20% year- ov er- year.

Going all-out After a year of canceled trips, families may hav e found a new appreciation for trav el and hav e a sense of urgency to finally take that dream v acation. When trav el ev entually returns to pre- COVID- 19 lev els, many are thinking b ig – 6 5 % of respondents plan to trav el more than they did b efore the pandemic, 33% are willing to spend more money than

they traditionally would and 5 4% said they’re more likely to b ook that b ucket list v acation.

Among those willing to increase their v acation b udgets, 46 % plan to trav el farther away, 5 5 % said they’ll stay longer and 48% hav e nicer accommodations in mind.

A vacation do-over It’s common for families to miss their lov ed ones and seek to make up for lost time. In fact, according to the surv ey, families who were forced to cancel a 2020 v acation are ready for a redo. Rather than scrapping their trips, 44% of trav elers who had a trip canceled due to COVID- 19 plan on rescheduling the same v acation; 5 4% of respondents who want a redo said they were looking forward to going to that destination and 31% of trav elers said the main reason they want to go on their next trip is to spend quality time with family.

SAN JACINTO – The Mt. San Jacinto College Art Gallery presented an online Art Talk featuring MSJC associate art faculty memb er Conchi Sanford Thursday, April 8. The eve nt was supported by t he MSJC Foundation.

As a child, growing up on a military ba se and later California, she was constantly marked by her nonwhite identity, not b elonging to anybody , not be longing to the U.S. or Latinx communities. This awareness be came internalized in her work, which consequently is ab out v isib ility, and identities, hav ing people see themselve s or their struggles mirrored in it, much like

her own vi sibi lity, be ing seen and unseen. The pieces she makes tap into stories of her past, experiences she has had as a b inational woman, a first-generation American and an advoc ate for social change.

Sanford receiv ed her master’s degree in fine arts in 2011 from Claremont Graduate Univ ersity.

She had returned to school, after working as marketing manager in the priva te sector for 10 years.

Currently, she is an adjunct professor at Crafton Hills College and Mt. San Jacinto College, teaching an array of studio art and art history courses. In addition to be ing a professor, an active artist and a curator, she is also a California Teachers Association boa rd memb er at San Bernardino Community College District and a representativ e of the CTA’s State Council for Education.

Not ev ery team could commit to a season, some only hand a handful of games, and some just a couple, b ut a season did indeed happen, and soon it will all be over.

This week, in our area, all eyes were on the Week Four showdown b etween undefeated Murrieta Valley High School and undefeated Vista Murrieta High School, as well as the City Championship game b etween Chaparral and Great Oak high schools.

How to approach cat care while pregnant TEMECULA – Pregnant women receiv e a lot of adv ice while they’re with child. Much of that guidance comes from their physicians and is offered in an effort to ensure expecting mothers hav e healthy pregnancies.

Expecting mothers may b e surprised by some of the precautionary measures their physicians recommend, while others measures, such as ab staining from alcohol, are more widely known.

One recommendation that women may be surprised by is the need to be cautious around their pets. For example, the March of Dimes, an organization devot ed to ensuring the health of expecting mothers and their ba bi es, recommends that women b e careful with pets during pregnancy.

Pregnant women with cats at home must b e mindful of toxoplasmosis, a disease that the Mayo Clinic said results from infection with the toxoplasma gondii parasite. According to the Centers for

Disease Control and Prev ention, cats get infected with the toxoplasma parasite by eating infected rodents, b irds or other small animals.

Cats also can get infected if they eat anything that is contaminated with the feces of another cat that is shedding the parasite through its fecal matter. The CDC said that infected cats can shed the parasite for up to two weeks.

Because of the way the disease is contracted, cats may only b e v ulnerab le to toxoplasmosis if they go outside. While that may reassure pregnant women whose cats stay indoors at all times, expecting mothers should still b e v igilant ev en if their cats are indoor cats. Cats that escape or go outdoors b y accident, ev en if they’re quickly retriev ed, can still b e exposed to the parasite that causes toxoplasmosis. The March of Dimes also said that toxoplasmosis can b e spread b y cleaning cat litter of infected cats or b y touching dirt, such as garden

soil, where infected cats may hav e b een. It means ev en women whose cats stay indoors can be infected if they aren’t careful.

Protection against tox oplasmosis The March of Dimes said that expecting mothers can take va rious steps to protect themselv es from toxoplasmosis during their pregnancies.

Ask a family membe r who isn’t pregnant to clean out the litter box eve ry day.

Wear disposab le glov es and a face mask if you clean out the litter box. Wash your hands well with soap and water immediately after cleaning the litter box.

Keep your cat inside. In addition, make sure all guests do their part to keep the cat indoors when vi siting.

Stay away from stray cats and new cats.

Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water after touching cat feces or after gardening.

The March of Dimes, an organi ation devoted to ensuring the health of expecting mothers and their babies, recommends that women be careful with pets during pregnancy.

Cov er sandb oxes to prev ent cats from using them as a litter box.

Feed your cat dry or canned foods. Don’t feed cats undercooked meat, which can make them vul nerabl e to infection with

the parasite.

Pregnant women with cats at home must b e especially careful when interacting with cats or when spending time outdoors where cats may have roamed.

Kitten season is anything but cute for animal shelters staffing – kitten season equates to making difficult life or death decisions for these fragile creatures that require 24- hour care. The large population causes an increased risk of illness and stress- induced prob lems, often making tiny kittens the most at- risk animals for b eing killed in shelters.

“The b est thing to do for healthy kittens is to leav e them with their mother, who is often nearb y planning to return and care for her b ab ies,” she said.

Watch closely. If mother cat hasn’t returned for 10 to 12 hours or if the kittens appear unhealthy, then it’s time to step in. Sick kittens may need v eterinary attention right away.

But if they are healthy, you can care for the kittens yourself, right from the comfort of your home.

“While caring for neonatal kittens can seem daunting, it is completely doab le and v ery rewarding. Bestfriends.org offers resources and a v ideo on caring for kittens,” Katrib e said. “You can also contact your local shelter, as they may b e ab le to prov ide training or supplies, especially if you are ab le to foster the kittens in your home and ultimately, spay or neuter surgery and adoption resources once they are of age to be fixed and find a home.”

KANAB, Utah – What may sound cute to the general pub lic causes a shudder ev ery year among animal shelter staff across the country.

“Kitten Season,” as it’s known in the animal welfare field, starts each spring and lasts through fall. Like the term implies, it’s the time of year when unspayed female cats hav e most of their litters and animal shelters are inundated b y orphaned kittens who need intensiv e care.

“Cats can b ecome pregnant at just four months old and the duration of feline pregnancy is approximately two months, so unspayed community cats can

hav e many litters in one season,” Dr. Erin Katrib e, v eterinarian and medical director for Best Friends Animal Society, said.

So, what can you do to help? The path often starts with leav ing outdoor kittens in place, according to Katrib e, ev en if it seems like they’v e b een ab andoned or homeless and should b e taken to a shelter right away.

“In most cases, remov ing the kittens away from where their mother is most likely going to return may end up putting them in ev en greater danger,” she said. “For shelters with already limited resources – such as money, food, space and

Helping kittens that are already at shelters is another way to allev iate the stress of kitten season.

“Some shelters hav e kitten nurseries that operate nonstop, including b ottle- feeding ev ery two hours, which requires a lot of people throughout the day and night. Volunteers can help b y feeding, preparing food, doing laundry and cleaning cages,” Katrib e said. “Fostering is also extremely helpful, as kittens can get ev en b etter indiv idualized care in a home env ironment.”

Kitten fosters can make a shortterm commitment that may range from just a week or two to a month or two, depending on the age of the kittens and the foster’s schedule. Fosters care for the kittens in the comfort of their own homes. Education, supplies and v eterinary care are prov ided b y the shelter or rescue, while fosters prov ide lov e and attention.

“The goal with neonatal kittens is to get them to ab out six to eight weeks of age, so they can b e spayed or neutered and adopted out,” Katrib e said. “We hav e fosters that will care for sev eral litters during a season and others who help out with single kittens.

Either way, it all adds up to sav ing as many liv es as possib le. Any contrib ution, no matter the size, is meaningful.”

Here are some other ways to help cats and kittens in your community.

Spay or neuter your pets and encourage your friends and family to do the same.

Choose to adopt a cat or kitten from a shelter or rescue group.

Support local efforts to trap, neuter and return community cats.

How to add plants to water features

One consideration when installing a water feature is whether or not to incorporate live plants, and certain Valley News/Courtesy photo plants are better suited for water features than others.

TEMECULA – Water features can make for relaxing and eyecatching additions to outdoor spaces. According to the online gardening resource Garden Know- How, a water feature is any

landscape enhancement that uses water and other material to br ing tranquility and be auty to a space.

Thanks to their soothing sounds and aesthetic appeal, water features like ponds and fountains are

often included in healing gardens, but they can be used in any and all landscapes.

Homeowners can explore va rious water features, such as waterfalls, koi ponds and rain be lls,

which offer soothing chime sounds when it rains. One consideration when installing a water feature is whether or not to incorporate live plants. Certain plants are be tter suited for water features than others.

Surrounding plants It is possib le to create a miniature ecosystem in a yard b y surrounding a water feature with certain plants. Gardening KnowHow adv ises using canna lily or taro at the edge of a pond. These plants thriv e with roots in mud and their tops in shallow water.

Broadleaf arrowhead is another option, as it can do well in a pond’s shallow edges. It’s a perennial so it will come ba ck and requires little maintenance.

Floating plants Many plants can live on the surface of the water and provi de hiding spots for wildlife in a natural water feature setting. Lotus, also called water lily, is a popular and fragrant option. Water hyacinth produces vibrant lavender flowers that pop on stems that can reach 3 feet in height. This stunning species can be inva sive , but it can be managed by planting within a hoop or subm erged wove n ba sket, indicates Happy DIY Home. Other

free-floating plants to consider are duckweed, fairy moss and butterfly fern. Floating plants look b eautiful and they can help filter water and control algae growth.

Submerged plants Subm erged plants are a necessity in water features that hav e fish. Submerged plants are grown in weighted pots placed on the bot tom of the pond. They provi de shelter for fish and help oxygenate the water. Hornwort, anacharis, water milfoil, and dwarf sagittaria are some examples of subm erged plants.

Water features attract wildlife, including potentially pesky insects. Planting pitcher plants in sub merged pots can help reduce the presence of unwanted insects in a water feature.

Some water- lov ing plants are inv asiv e, so it is always b est to check with a local agricultural extension or the Department of Env ironmental Protection to see if certain floating or submerged plants are restricted where you liv e. For those who want to contain plants, placing pots of cascading greenery and flowers near to fountains, pools and ponds is another way to add appeal without havi ng to dig in the ground.

USDA encourages the public to protect plants against invasive pests in April WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Agriculture declared April 2021 as Inv asiv e Plant Pest and Disease Awareness Month. The national outreach initiativ e enlists the public in the fight against invasiv e pests. These damaging inv aders threaten our nation’s food crops, forests and natural resources. IPPDAM aims to raise pub lic awareness ab out this threat, which can dev astate agriculture, liv elihoods and food security.

In celeb ration of the United Nations’ International Year of Plant Health, APHIS will partner with

agricultural and natural resources from the threat of hitchhiking inv asiv e pests,” Thomas J. Vilsack, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, said.

“We need your help to stop them before they pose a significant risk.

If you see a suspicious plant pest, contact your local USDA state plant health director. You could sav e a forest, farm or v ineyard b y making a simple phone call.”

Many inv asiv e plant pests and diseases are natural hitchhikers, making it all too easy for people to unintentionally mov e them to new areas. Hungry pests can hide in untreated firewood, attach themselves to outdoor gear and recreational v ehicles or take a ride in the mail. They can also b e accidentally mov ed to new areas v ia agricultural mediums such as soil, seeds, produce and plants. Inv asiv e pests hav e no natural predators in their new env ironments and are more likely to throw their ecosystem off balance than domestic organisms, which hav e ev olv ed in their nativ e hab itats

and pose less risk to plant health.

With residents’ help, USDA can contain the threat of inv asiv e pests and protect American agriculture and natural resources from the pests that threaten them. Here are somethings people can do to help.

Familiarize yourself with the inv asiv e pests already found in the area, as well as the telltale signs they leav e on wild plants and agriculture.

Look for signs of inv asiv e plant pests and diseases and report them to the local Extension office, state department of agriculture or your USDA state plant health director’s office.

When returning from international trav el, declare all agricultural items, including soil, to U.S. Customs and Border Protection so they can ensure your items arriv e pest- free.

Don’t move untreated firewood.

Buy certified, heat-treated firewood or responsib ly gather wood where you b urn it to av oid unintentionally spreading tree- killing b eetles that

hide inside untreated firewood.

Be careful ab out where you source your plants and seeds. If you purchase them online, choose reputab le domestic suppliers or import them legally to ensure you don’t also accidentally import exotic pests and diseases.

When in doub t, and b efore b uying seeds or plants online from international v endors, you can contact your local USDA state plant health director’s office to find out what you need to do to b ring them into the United States legally and without pests.

4 tips for backyard barbecue success TEMECULA – When the weather warms up, the opportunities to enjoy more time outdoors increase.

For many people that means firing up the grill to cook dinners in the b ackyard and also to host friends and family for outdoor gatherings around the patio.

Barb ecuing is enjoyed around the world and is especially popular in the United States, where ev en presidents hav e touted the v irtues of cooking outside. Lyndon B. Johnson, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Regan hosted b arb ecues with tasty grilled or smoked food during their terms.

Barb ecues are especially popular in spring and summer. Memorial Day in May often marks the unofficial kickoff to the summer barbecue season. After Memorial Day weekend, the smell of b arb ecue often can b e detected on a nightly b asis in sub urb an neighb orhoods.

Follow these tips to make b ackyard b arb ecues ev en more successful this year.

Make food safety a priority. A successful b arb ecue is one in which ev eryone goes home sated and stuffed with delicious foods. Howev er, ensuring people don’t fall ill also is v ital. Keep in mind that the temperature outdoors impacts the rate of spoilage for raw and cooked foods. Always keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold – place items on ice or in coolers. The Food and Drug Administration, adv ises mov ing leftov ers indoors promptly and discarding any items that hav e b een sitting outside for longer than two hours at room temperature.

ers has increased, prices hav e come down. Nov ices can v isit b arb ecue competitions and talk to professionals ab out their tips for smoking foods, or learn more b y watching tutorials online. Smoked foods take a lot of time to cook, allowing hosts an opportunity to mingle with guests.

Keep things simple. Serv e only a handful of items to cut down on the amount of preparation required.

Two main proteins and mayb e three side dishes is adequate. Chips or other pre-made snacks can fit the b ill. Condensing options also reduces how much you hav e to manage. Be sure to hav e options for those with food allergies or intolerances when planning the menu.

Set up clusters of seating. Grouping sets of chairs at tab les around the yard encourages guests to mingle. Also, it helps space out people for social distancing and av oids a b ottleneck around the food.

Corporate actions, political disinformation is hypocritical and destructive

Julie Reeder PUBLISHER

I was surprised when President Joe Biden made the claim that Georgia’s election integrity laws “makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle.”

What? Is election integrity racist?

Then 100 woke CEOs met on a Zoom call to organize and fight election integrity while the MLB hurt mostly minority- owned small b usinesses in Atlanta b y mov ing the All Star game to mostly White Denv er. The irony, hypocrisy and idiocy just scream out in how to b e an anti- racist.

The CEO’s message is clear to other gov ernors: “If you pursue election integrity, we will b oycott your state.” Do they know that at least 35 other states already hav e v oting ID requirements? Mayb e not for long though, b ecause their state laws will be nullified if the Senate approv es House Resolution 1, which passed the House on a partyline v ote. To see v oting laws b y state, v isit https: / / b allotpedia.org/ Voter identification laws by state.

By the way, I wonder how many of those 100 corporations require employee photo IDs or IDs for b uying liquor or cashing checks? Is that racist? Just wondering.

Conserv ativ e Clergy of Color, a group of Black ministers and pastors, pub lished a full- page ad in the Atlanta Journal- Constitution correcting the “lies” that Joe Biden and Stacey Ab rams hav e b een telling ab out the Georgia Election Integrity Act of 2021. They decried the disinformation campaign as “dev astating” the minorityowned small b usinesses in Atlanta b y encouraging the b oycotts and other forms of economic retrib ution

against the state.

“Biden and Ab rams keep saying the Election Integrity Act is worse than Jim Crow, which is an insult to millions of Black Americans,” Bishop Aub rey Shines said. “The truth is that this law actually expands access to the b allot b ox, while also taking common- sense steps to protect the sanctity of ev ery legal v ote. We b eliev e that it should b e easy to v ote and hard to cheat and the Georgia Integrity Act makes that possib le for all v oters.”

It makes sense to me and apparently I’m not alone. A recently released Rasmussen Report found that 75 % of likely U.S. v oters b eliev e v oters should b e required to show photo identification such as a driv er’s license b efore b eing allowed to v ote. Only 21% are opposed to the requirement.

According to the Georgia Secretary of State’s office, only about 9 ,000 Georgia v oters don’t hav e a qualifying ID, and it is reportedly easy to ob tain and free.

Besides the v oter ID, there hav e b een stories highlighting the “inhumane” restriction on passing out food and water within 15 0 feet of a polling place, often claiming it would b e illegal altogether. Again, it is not true. It’s legal for v oters to b ring their own and for polling officials to pass it out.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said the law is aimed at cracking down on “line warming,” for which multiple officials are presently under inv estigation.

It includes giv ing any sort of gift that may “inappropriately influence voters in the crucial final moments b efore they cast their b allots,” he said.

It’s demeaning and infantilizing to think people can’t b e responsib le for their own water.

After Biden joined in on the media’s misinformation push, The Washington Post gav e him “Four Pinocchios” for falsely claiming more than once that Georgia’s law “ends v oting hours early.”

The Post’s fact- checker Glenn Kessler noted that this claim could not b e more incorrect.

“This was the section of law that expanded early v oting for many Georgians,” he said March 30. “On Election Day in Georgia, polling

places are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and if you are in line b y 7 p.m., you are allowed to cast your b allot.

Nothing in the new law changes those rules.”

male will always b e a male.

Consider if in theory a clone could b e created from a so called “trans” female, who is a genetic male, that clone would still hav e X Y genetic material and he would still b e a male in ev ery b iological sense.

Surgical mutilations and the taking of hormones do not change inherently different b one structures, muscle and tissue masses, heart and lung capacities, as well as fat compositions, all of which starkly differ between males and females.

This Frankenstein- like social experiment allowing genetic males

The Atlanta Journal- Constitution was also forced to issue a correction after falsely claiming that “the new law would limit v oting hours.”

Fight the disinformation and

political rhetoric stoking racism and div ision which is destroying our country.

Arbor Day is a call to action

Assemblymember Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Arb or Day is April 30, an ob serv ance that b egan in 1872 when the Nebr aska State Board of Agriculture adopted a resolution creating a day set aside to plant trees. The holiday spread throughout the United States and is obs erve d in many countries around the world.

California’s obs erva nce is March

7, and coincides with the bi rthday of b otanist Luther Burb ank. Today, many communities organize tree- planting and litter- collecting ev ents to coincide with the holiday.

But whichev er day we ob serv e, it’s a call to action.

In California, the Legislature first proclaimed California Arbor Day March 7, 1974, to encourage people to plant trees and organize civ ic engagement in protecting urb an trees. Trees moderate temperature extremes and reduce energy consumption. They also reduce emissions and air pollution and help meet statuary pollution limits by sequestering carbon. Trees remov e airb orne pollutants from the atmosphere, help purify our water supplies b y reducing surface runoff, aid water management and protect water resources. Trees are also a v aluab le economic asset that can maintain and increase property va lues and attract new bus inesses to urba n areas. They enhance the aesthetic quality of our communities by functioning as natural ba rriers for surface noise and provi de

ba dly needed habi tat for wildlife, including bi rds and many threatened or endangered species.

A recent study b y the U.S. Forest Servi ce indicated that our nation’s cities lose around 175 ,000 acres or 36 million trees each year. That trend can be reve rsed.

California is a national leader on climate protections and emission reductions. Planting trees is a simple, but significant step that will improv e and enhance our envi ronment. It’s a step we all can take – and we certainly don’t need to limit our tree planting activi ties to just one or two days each year.

Trees are wonderful. Let’s plant more of them.

Assembly Republican Leader Marie Waldron, R-Escondido, represents the 75th Assembly District in the California Legislature, which includes the communities of Bonsall, Escondido, Fallbrook, Hidden Meadows, Pala, Palomar Mountain, Pauma Valley, Rainbow, San Marcos, Temecula, Valley C enter and V ista.

The madness of vaccine passports My legislation prohib its the mandating of v accine passports “as a condition of receiv ing any serv ice or entering any place.”

I’m hopeful it will be vot ed on at the Priva cy Committee’s April 22 hearing.

Hav ing to surrender your personal health information just to go about daily life is an appalling notion, one utterly incompatib le with a free society. Passports would inevi tabl y come to be used for other purposes, extending the ethos of control from this last year

into the indefinite future.

The Newsom administration claimed “There are not current plans to impose” a passport system. Yet it’s already taken a step in that direction with new guidelines for publ ic eve nts. And this is the same gov ernor who once promised he wouldn’t shut down schools and said “localism is determinativ e” on bus iness restrictions.

Speaking of b usiness restrictions, another of my b ills, Assemb ly Bill 5 4, will b e heard next Tuesday. This legislation aims to restore licenses that were revoke d for non- compliance with lockdown orders. That same day

the bi ll I’m authoring with James Gallagher to stop censorship on social media will be heard by the Judiciary Committee.

Meanwhile, the anti- recall chicanery has taken another turn.

There’s a new bi ll to let the target of a recall, like Gov . Gavi n Newsom, get the list of people who signed, so his cronies can harass them into withdrawing their signatures. Nothing terrifies our political class like a free and fair vot e.

Finally, some good news. The U.S. Supreme Court just ruled against Newsom on religious freedom for the fifth time, lifting his restrictions on in- home gatherings.

to compete in girls’ and women’s sports will depriv e talented and otherwise competitiv e females from a v ariety of sports as they will b e defeated b y larger and stronger genetic X Y male athletes posing as female competitors.

Female athletes will also v ery likely b e depriv ed of athletic scholarships, recognition and ev en future professional sports opportunities.

In the Declaration of Independence, our American founders cited a numb er of ob jectiv e truths that were “self- ev ident,” including that we are created equal and that we are also endowed with certain

unalienab le rights.

Yet another more recent selfev ident truth is that men are created with X Y chromosomes while women are created with X X chromosomes, with the exception of v ery rare mutations. Or to make this ev en easier to understand, as the young b oy so presciently said in the 19 9 0 mov ie “Kindergarten Cop” ... “Boys hav e a penis, and girls hav e a v agina.”

A telling indicator ab out the nihilistic intent of this Biden policy is the ob v ious dearth of “trans” men, who are genetic females, attempting to pose as males and compete in male sports. It is appearing more

and more like a social engineering scam designed to award men in drag ... medals, trophies, scholarships and championships at the expense of young women with strong desires to compete and excel.

Biden’s executiv e order is just another cynical policy that div ides America, despite his now fake commitment to unifying our nation. Yet div ide and conquer is the strategy of the left, so as to further enrich themselv es with ev en more power.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

If I leav e the section for city b lank or put “none” or “n/ a,” I wonder what happens. This would b e the correct answer to the request for my city. Then again, I doub t that some of the requesting agencies have the flexibility to accommodate my truthful answer.

What hurts most isn’t the indignity of being classified as a resident of a city when I actually reside in a town. The b iggest disadv antage of liv ing in an unincorporated area is that I’m relegated to b eing a political eunuch. I can’t legally b e the mayor b ecause we don’t hav e one.

I hav e a perfect v oting record, b ut I hav en’t v oted in a mayor’s race since 19 86 , when I liv ed in San Diego. The community planning group is an adv isory group; the real power rests with five county Board of Superv isors memb ers, four of whom hav e no accountab ility whatsoev er to the v oters of where I liv e.

The ironic part is that while the gov ernment – alb eit nowadays incorporation recommendations are ratified by a vote of the people – decides what will or will not b e an incorporated city, it is another level of government, specifically the post office, which determines the “city,” state and ZIP code to b e used on one’s address.

Gov ernment agencies them-

selves aren’t necessarily the final word. The b oundaries b etween unincorporated areas are questionab le. The fire district does not include federal land or the Indian reserv ations. The Postal Serv ice has a few idiosyncrasies in its definition of a city – the San Diego community of La Jolla, part of the city of San Diego, has its own designation, while a few b locks in the city of La Mesa, off 68th Street in San Diego, are still listed as San Diego, CA 9 2115 .

At one time, the phone company recognized towns by prefixes, although those boundaries differ from other institutions. Then again, the phone company considers Lakeside and Santee to b e part of El Cajon and Bonsall to b e part of Vista, which was actually an adv antage since call rates were determined from the closest point in one area to the closest point in the other area so we hard more of a range for free calling.

In the late 19 80s, a high school shot put phenom named Brent Noon went to Fallb rook High School in San Diego County. His father b uilt a shot put ring on their property, and a couple of national shot put figures trained at the Noon home. The Noon home was referred to b y b oth local and national sports

sections as b eing in Fallb rook. But the home was actually in Bonsall – and the postal address of the home was in Vista. Brent Noon may hav e been the first person to throw a shot put in three towns at the same time.

In the 19 9 0s, there was a b rush fire on Rattlesnake Mountain which threatened homes on Wenatchee Road. Wenatchee Road is in the Pepper Grov e neighb orhood, an unincorporated area north of El Cajon and east of Santee. Santee is on one of San Diego’s street numb ering grids. El Cajon has its own street numb ering grid. Wenatchee Road has some houses on the El Cajon grid and some houses on the Santee grid – mixed in with each other.

One can go from a house in the 1300s to a house in the 8300s to a house in the 1300s on the same side of the street. Residents tell v isitors to ignore the house numb ers.

We hav e our special prob lems in the unincorporated areas. People who liv e in incorporated cities don’t realize some of our differences. There should b e some way to make them more sensitiv e to those who liv e in towns instead of cities.

But I guess a city ordinance would b e inappropriate.

A victim of city-ism Joe Naiman WRITER

Hav ing b een male all my life, it was hard for me to empathize with women when the word “he” was used in cases which could inv olv e females. I didn’t start using “he or she” until I typed papers in college for other students and had to fulfill the occasional request to stretch a paper to its minimum page length.

Once I started getting paid b y the word, I got into the hab it of using the gender- neutral option “they.”

Now that I’v e gotten used to the additional v erb iage – this concept also allowed me to respect the replacement of “Black” with “African American,” there’s a mov e afoot to make God gender neutral, as in “God or Goddess.”

This gender- neutral terminology is known as “inclusiv e language,” b ecause it cov ers all sexes. Actually, it’s also non- inclusiv e, since it excludes females from b eing “he.”

When we say “all politicians ought to b e shot,” there are a few whom we would like to exempt from b eing put up against the wall. The term “inclusiv e language” is thus a v iolation of its own concept.

I’m not a woman, so I don’t hav e to put up with b eing referred to as “he” while reading instruc-

tion manuals or other documents.

And I’m not an elected official, so I don’t hav e to worry ab out b eing included among the politicians who really do deserv e to b e shot. But ov er the past 30 years, I’v e found myself a v ictim of “city- ism.”

I liv e in an unincorporated sub urb . Since it is not incorporated, it is not a city. I don’t hav e a city, state and ZIP code; more accurately, I hav e a town, state and ZIP code.

But the persistence of city- ism has placed me in the same situation experienced b y many females ov er the decades.

City- ism is b oth a priv ate and a pub lic sector discrimination. I fill out forms from gov ernment agencies, priv ate companies and nonprofit groups requesting my city. I’ve even filled out forms from b usinesses in the town requesting my address, city, state and ZIP code.

I’m wondering if this is illegal.

Not the discrimination, but my filling out the forms. If I claim to liv e in a city, when I actually don’t liv e in a city, have I filled out the form falsely? Am I b eing compelled to lie to a gov ernment agency? Since the gov ernment forms are filled out under penalty of perjury, hav e I perjured myself if I fill out my town as my city?

Almost 40,000 college students in Riverside County are eligible for CalFresh benefits RIVERSIDE COUNTY – College students who are struggling with food and housing insecurity are encouraged to apply for a program that can help them stretch their food b udgets and eat healthier, county officials and student adv ocates said this week.

Nearly 40,000 college students in Riv erside County are eligib le for CalFresh, but county officials said less than 10% of eligib le students in the county hav e signed up. Congress temporarily expanded food assistance to college students in January’s pandemic relief package, Allison Gonzalez, assistant director of the Department of Pub lic Social Serv ices, said.

“We want to make sure our local students know this help is av ailab le. They should not hav e to worry about being able to afford their next meal,” Gonzalez said.

“Our caseworkers are ready to see if they are eligib le and enroll them.”

Hunger and food insecurity are widespread on college campuses and impact as many as one in three students, according to a surv ey b y the California Student Aid Com-

mission. Students who qualify for CalFresh receive a monthly benefit of $ 234, enough for ab out 6 0 jars of peanut b utter.

Kalayah Wilson is among 436 CalFresh recipients at Univ ersity of California Riv erside. Wilson, 21, a third- year undergraduate, b alances online classes with her job as a campus food pantry worker, guiding peers to resources during the pandemic and urging them to see if they qualify for CalFresh.

“This resource definitely helps me to liv e independently and eat healthy,” Wilson said. “It has motiv ated me to learn new recipes and try organic food items.”

Outreach efforts along with the yearlong pandemic hav e helped b oost student enrollment into CalFresh, which is administered b y Riv erside County DPSS. Other local campuses also hav e dedicated resources to informing students ab out CalFresh and resources to help.

Mt. San Jacinto College, for example, collab orates with a team to promote the program during weekly driv e- thru food distrib utions. They are also preparing a

priv ate space inside a food pantry where students can sign up for CalFresh once their shuttered campuses reopen.

“Even with these efforts, we still struggle in helping our students to know what serv ices are av ailab le to them,” John Colson, v ice president of student serv ices at MSJC, said.

Student peer nav igators are critical to inform and prov ide support, Wilson said.

“Sometimes all you need is that one person who is encouraging you to apply,” she said.

Signing up inv olv es checking on eligibility criteria and filling out an online application. If approv ed, the student will receiv e the food b enefit within 30 days. Students who feel they might qualify can ask for assistance through their college campus or can apply online directly at http: / / students.getcalfresh.org, call 877- 847- 36 6 3 or sign up in person b y checking their campus directories or v isiting http: / / www. riv codpss.org for a DPSS office location nearest them.

Man, woman taken into custody in Pomona after hourslong pursuit City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A man and a woman were taken into custody Tuesday, April 6, in Pomona after leading authorities on an hourslong pursuit that b egan in Murrieta and spanned four counties.

Riverside County sheriff’s deputies and California Highway Patrol units b egan pursuing a darkcolored pickup truck drive n by a supposedly armed man suspected of murder, according to multiple b roadcast reports. The man led authorities south to Escondido in San Diego County be fore returning to Rive rside County.

The man made his way through Jurupa Valley on the westb ound Pomona Freeway, Route 60, into the Ontario area in San Bernardino County. He eve ntually exited the freeway in Los Angeles County b efore reentering on the eastb ound side, driv ing on the right shoulder through heavily congested traffic.

During the pursuit, the man could b e seen throwing papers out onto the freeway, raising his middle finger to pursuing authorities and taking bot h of his hands off the wheel as he drove at high speeds.

The man exited the eastb ound Pomona Freeway in Pomona and led authorities through sev eral residential areas, alleys and parking lots. At one point, the man’s erratic driv ing caused a head- on collision b etween a sedan and a b ox truck, though no one was

reported injured.

The pursuit ended at ab out 7 p.m. after the man drove through a gas station and collided with a bi g rig.

The driv er of the b ig rig, Ahmed Shab aan, told Fox 11 he wanted to help authorities end the pursuit.

“I was waiting for him,” Shaba an told the station. “I was trying to see where he was at exactly so I could pinpoint him and then I bl ocked him.”

Shab aan said his instincts kicked in and he took action.

“I just thought to get him off the street, b ecause if I didn’t, if ( authorities) had be en be hind him for that long and didn’t stop him, I have the power.”

The man surrendered to police, b ut was taken b y paramedics to a hospital with an apparently injured leg.

He was identified by Bakersfield TV station KGET as Michael Caleb Reed, who is suspected of killing a 40- year- old man March 28 in Kern County.

The U.S. Marshals Servi ce told the station Reed is the suspect who was arrested in Pomona.

A woman passenger also surrendered and was taken into custody and later released.

The woman, identified only as Roxy, told Fox11 the driv er is a friend from Bakersfield who picked her up in Temecula and they were headed to Los Angeles to help a friend of the suspect who had recently be en shot.

High court halts California virus rules limiting home worship

The Supreme Court is seen in Washington, early Monday, June 15, A photo . cott Applewhite photo 2020.

Jessica Gresko THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The U.S. Supreme Court is telling California that it can’t enforce coronav irus- related restrictions that hav e limited home- b ased religious worship including Bib le studies and prayer meetings.

The order from the court Friday, April 9 , is the latest in a recent string of cases in which the high court has b arred officials from enforcing some coronav irus- related restrictions applying to religious gatherings.

Fiv e conserv ativ e justices agreed that California restrictions that apply to in- home religious gatherings should b e lifted for now, while the court’s three lib erals and Chief Justice John Rob erts would not hav e done so.

California has already, howev er, announced significant changes loosening restrictions on gatherings that go into effect April 15 . The changes come after infection rates hav e gone down in the state.

Fauci must explain why oversight bypassed for funding to Wuhan Lab, congressman says Andrew Kerr THE DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION

Republ ican Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylva nia said it is “ve ry concerning” that the federal infectious disease research organization led b y Dr. Anthony Fauci b ypassed federal ov ersight of a grant that funded a lab in Wuhan, China, to genetically modify b at- b ased coronavi ruses.

Infectious disease experts said the National Institutes of Allergies and Infectious Diseases’ grant with the nonprofit group EcoHealth Alliance, which inv olv ed the transfer of $ 6 00,000 to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, describ ed scientists conducting gain- of- function research on SARS- like v iruses to make them eve n more contagious.

But a federal ove rsight boa rd created in 2017 to scrutinize such research was not notified of the grant be cause the NIAID opted against forwarding it for rev iew, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported.

“When it comes to ove rsight of U.S. tax dollars headed to the Chinese Communist Party, Dr. Fauci seems like he’s literally whistling past the grav eyard,” Perry told the DCNF. The WIV is at the center of widespread speculation that COVID- 19 could hav e accidentally leaked from its lab into the human population. A World Health Organization inve stigation into the origins of the pandemic concluded in late March that it was “extremely unlikely” that the v irus could hav e escaped from a lab.

But WHO director- general Tedros Adhanom Gheb reyesus said his organization’s assessment of the lab leak theory was not sufficient and that further inve stigation was necessary.

The Department of Health and Human Serv ice created the Potential Pathogens Control and Ov ersight rev iew framework in late 2017 following a three- year federal funding moratorium on gain- of- function research. Had the EcoHealth grant b een sub jected to P3CO rev iew, an HHS panel would have independently eva luated the grant and, if necessary, recommended additional b iocontainment measures to preve nt potential lab leaks – or eve n recommended that the grant be denied entirely.

Richard H. Eb right, professor of chemical bi ology at Rutgers Unive rsity, previ ously told the DCNF that NIAID’s ab ility to sidestep the P3CO framework is a “systemic probl em.”

Ebright said the offices of the director for NIAID and the National Institutes of Health hav e “systematically thwarted – indeed systematically nullified – the HHS P3CO Framework b y declining to flag and forward proposals for revi ew.”

EcoHealth president Peter

D r. Anthony F auci is head of the N ational Institutes of Allergies and Infectious D iseases.

Daszak, who was the only American membe r of the WHO’s inve stigation into COVID- 19’ s origins, spoke ab out how easy it was to manipulate b at- b ased coronav iruses during a podcast interview filmed just weeks before the first cases were reported in Wuhan.

An NIH representativ e prev iously told the DCNF that NIAID did not flag the EcoHealth grant for independent revi ew be cause it did not meet the frameworks’ definition of gain- of- function research.

Perry, a membe r of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told the DCNF he will call for Fauci to testify ab out why his agency did not flag the EcoHealth grant for P3CO revi ew.

“We seem so cav alier ab out this approv al paradigm for this funding and the definitions seemingly allow you to driv e a truck through them regarding what is gain- of- function research and what isn’t,” Perry said. “It seems to me this was done by design to allow this kind of research to be done in these kinds of places without any kind of scrutiny. And this is the result of that.”

Perry said there is a great deal of interest among his Republ ican colleagues to prob e the federal gov ernment’s funding of gainof- function research in China, b ut added he wasn’t optimistic that Democrats, who control the House, would allow such a hearing.

“I won’t b e surprised after requesting to br ing these folks in as witnesses hav e an open hearing ab out it that those things fail to eve r occur. I won’t be surprised,” Perry said. “In the minority, we can’t force it. If they’re not going to allow it or to pursue it, then it just won’t happen in the House side.”

social gatherings to no more than three households. Attendees are required to wear masks and physically distance from one another. Different restrictions apply to places including schools, grocery stores and churches.

“California treats some comparab le secular activ ities more fav orab ly than at- home religious exercise,” allowing hair salons, retail stores and mov ie theaters, among other places, “to b ring together more than three households at a time,” the unsigned order from the court said. A lower court “did not conclude that those activ ities pose a lesser risk of transmission than applicants’ proposed religious exercise at home,” it said.

“Where the gov ernment permits other activ ities to proceed with precautions, it must show that the religious exercise at issue is more dangerous than those activ ities ev en when the same precautions are applied,” the court said. “Otherwise, precautions that suffice for other activ ities suffice for religious exercise too.”

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has prev iously sounded an alarm ab out restrictions imposed b ecause of the coronav irus pandemic, saying they shouldn’t

b ecome a “recurring feature after the pandemic has passed,” Nov . 13.

The court acknowledged that California’s policy on gatherings will change next week b ut said the restrictions remain in place until then and that “officials with a track record of ‘ mov ing the goalposts’ retain authority to reinstate those heightened restrictions at any time.”

Justice Elena Kagan wrote in a dissent for herself and her lib eral colleagues, Justice Stephen Breyer and Justice Sonia Sotomayor, that the court’s majority was hurting state officials’ ab ility to address a pub lic health emergency.

“California limits religious gatherings in homes to three households. If the state also limits all secular gatherings in homes to three households, it has complied with the First Amendment. And the state does exactly that: It has adopted a b lanket restriction on at- home gatherings of all kinds, religious and secular alike. California need not … treat at- home religious gatherings the same as hardware stores and hair salons,” she said.

She added that “the law does not require that the state equally treat apples and watermelons.”

The case b efore the justices inv olv ed two residents of Santa Clara County in the San Francisco Bay Area, who want to host small, in- person Bib le study sessions in their homes. In an email message Saturday, one of their lawyers, Ryan J. Walsh, said he and his colleagues were “thrilled b eyond words” for their clients.

California had defended its policy of restricting social gatherings as “entirely neutral.”

Last April, former U.S. attorney general William Barr issued a warning order to his 9 4 U.S. attorneys telling them to “b e on the lookout for state and local directiv es that could b e v iolating the constitutional rights and civ il lib erties of indiv idual citizens.”

He added that the “Constitution isn’t suspended” for COVID- 19 .

In Nov emb er, the high court b arred New York from enforcing certain limits on attendance at churches and synagogues in areas designated as hard hit b y the v irus. And in Feb ruary, the high court told California that it can’t b ar indoor church serv ices b ecause of the coronav irus pandemic, though it let stand for now a b an on singing and chanting indoors.

Learn from Congregation B’nai Chaim: Parashat Shmini speaks of two stories.

The first section’s theme is man’s rude b ehav ior in serv ing God who called them to sacrifice. Nadab and Ab ihu defy God’s b oundaries and do not giv e gratitude in sacrifice for what they hav e b een giv en. There is no kindness in their serv ice of God and man.

The second half of the Torah portion cov ers keeping kosher and man’s kindness to animals.

The theme of keeping kosher is simply setting b oundaries on what you eat: the clean from the unclean. Also, setting b oundaries b etween slaughtering an animal without pain or simply out of conv enience.

Rabbi Marc Rubenstein SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Torah portion Shmini, which is the 26 th weekly Torah portion from Lev iticus 9 : 1- 11: 47,

Expand these ideas to setting b oundaries within ourselv es, which is another great topic for you to process. Nadab and Ab ohu had no b oundaries, and eating anything you desire is to act with no b oundaries.

I think a lot of us hav e the wrong idea when we think of setting b oundaries. “Setting b oundaries” is something we hear ab out a lot these days. Let me simplify it for you and mayb e ease some anxiety around it. Boundaries are not something we set up for other people. Boundaries are lines that we, ourselv es, are not willing to cross.

Boundaries are our comfort zones. They are what keep us

safe, what keep us in check with our v alues and our b eliefs. For instance, a b oundary one can set for themselv es is the refusal to lie for someone else or not b eing willing to talk ab out someone when they are not there. In this way, we are not making others wrong. We are simply remaining in what we know to b e right for us.

There are two things to take into consideration when it comes to b oundaries and lov ing kindness. The first is the fear that we can lose ourselves or sacrifice a part of us in our giv ing. Rememb er, you are in control. Set clear b oundaries for yourself.

The second is that sometimes we hav e to push past our comfort

zones or b oundaries in our giv ing.

We may want to giv e with our heart, b ut sometimes our mind will get in the way and tell us all sorts of things to stop us from giv ing. Mov e past that fear and see what happens. And, rememb er, if there are no expectations, you hav e nothing to lose. Just b ecause you are giv ing does not mean people are always open to receiv ing. Giv e anyway.

you came aliv e in Jesus. e forgives your sin when you repent In 1 John 1: 9 , he said, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgiv e us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”

The moment you confess your sin to Jesus is the exact moment God forgiv es. e removes your sin forever Psalm 103: 12 said, “He has remov ed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west.”

OK, think ab out it for a second.

East and west nev er meet. They continue in opposite directions for eternity.

That’s like God and your sin. He remov es it from his record b ook and sends it in the opposite direction, nev er to meet your life again.

As if that wasn’t enough, he “will trample our sins under your feet and throw them into the depths of the ocean” in Micah 7: 19 . That should just ab out do it.

But he doesn’t stop there. e forgets your sin Heb rews 10: 17 said, “I will nev er again rememb er their sins and lawless deeds.”

OK, this one is kind of a b iggie.

First of all, God is all- knowing. He

doesn’t forget, and he surpasses time and space.

In fact, it’s actually impossib le for God to forget anything. It’s not within his character, which makes this point all the more special.

Through Jesus, God chooses not to rememb er your sin.

So, the next time Satan tries to remind you what a sinful loser you are, the next time he tries to fill you again with guilt and shame, I want you to rememb er these truths.

Rememb er that “All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gav e us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation” in 2 Corinthians 5 : 18- 19 . hin it over Why do you keep dwelling on the sin God has already forgiv en?

things that you just need to dig up out of your trash, like a costly key or a diamond ring… things of v alue.

But do you know what nev er needs to b e dug b ack up? Your sin.

Here’s my point. When you take the step, through faith, to b egin a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, there are certain things God does with your sin that you cannot rev erse.

Let me say that again in case you didn’t grasp what I said.

When you come to Jesus, God does certain things with your sin that cannot b e rev ersed.

Here is what God does with your sin and what you desperately need to know.

Consequently, it would also include things like guilt and shame. e crucified your sin to death Colossians 2: 13- 14 said, “When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you aliv e with Christ.

He forgav e us all our sins, hav ing canceled the charge of our legal indeb tedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.”

Crane ies appear once again in n a

Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

April is the month that the often misunderstood crane flies return to the Anza Valley, inadve rtently harassing residents with their b umbl ing, persistent presence.

Crane flies are sometimes mistaken for giant mosquitoes. The harmless insect resemb les one of humanity’s most ob noxious creatures, and they are smashed, trapped, shot with salt or left to die in bow ls of water as a result.

Despite their similarity to mosquitoes, crane flies do not bite, and many species are known to not feed on anything in their adult form.

Additionally, another myth is that crane flies are the most v enomous insects in the world, but in reality, they have no abi lity to administer ve nom. This old wive s’ tale most likely arose due to the flies being confused with the A crane y rests on an iris ower.

Cars collide on Highway Including more voices in business 74 near Mountain decisions may bring discomfort – and Center, injuring three results City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Three people were injured Saturday, April 10, one seriously, in a head- on collision along Highway 74 near Mountain Center.

The wreck happened at ab out 11: 15 a.m. on the westb ound side of the two- lane corridor, in the area of the 74/ 243 interchange, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The agency said two sedans impacted, b ut no other details were av ailab le.

Sev eral Riv erside County Fire Department engine crews reached

the location within 20 minutes and found three people in need of medical attention.

One v ictim was in critical condition, and a helicopter airlift was arranged to expedite the patient’s transfer to a hospital. The other two victims suffered minor injuries, according to reports from the scene.

The CHP shut down the westbound side of the 74, and officers were directing traffic around the crash site.

The scene was still activ e as of noon that day until the wreckage was cleared for the CHP after a preliminary inv estigation.

The effects of noise on children’s health

Parents who are careful and cognizant of the many ways noise poses a threat to children, potentially affecting both their physical and psychological health, can put themselves in better position to protect their youngsters from noise- related damage. Valley News/Courtesy photo

TEMECULA – Hearing is easy to take for granted. Many people are b orn and grow up without ev er experiencing compromised hearing. But that does not mean people, including children, don’t routinely engage in activities that could adversely affect their hearing.

According to the Env ironmental Protection Agency, children are no strangers to recreational activ ities that can harm their hearing. Children who attend sporting ev ents, musical concerts and ev en holiday celeb rations like fireworks shows may be at risk of losing their hearing. Parents who are careful and cognizant of the many ways noise poses a threat to children, potentially affecting both their physical and psychological health, can put themselv es in b etter position to protect their youngsters from noise- related damage.

What is noise?

The EPA defines noise as any unwanted or disagreeab le sound.

Noise is sound that can b ecome harmful and interfere with a child’s normal activ ities. For example, noise can interfere with a child’s ab ility to sleep and diminish youngsters’ quality of life.

How common are hearing prob lems among children?

Hearing prob lems in children may b e more common than some parents recognize. The American Academy of Otolaryngology said that 3 million children under the age of 18 hav e some kind of hearing difficulty.

How does noise threaten children?

The EPA said that noise can affect children in some surprising ways.

Noise can affect children’s deF LIES from page A O daddy long legs arachnids, to which they are not ev en remotely related.

To add to their fearsome appearance, many crane fly species’ females hav e a long ov ipositor sticking out of their b acksides.

It appears to b e a stinger, b ut the ov ipositor is used b y the insect to insert her eggs into the soil or water.

The eggs typically lay dormant ov er the colder months and hatch in the spring. The larv ae, called leatherjackets, eat decaying plants, fungi, roots and leaf molds.

In most crane fly species, the female is equipped with mature eggs as she emerges from her pupa or cocoon. She will search out and mate immediately with the nearest male. Males also search for females by walking or flying.

After mating, the female then ov iposits, or lays, her eggs. Some species hav e ev en b een reported simply dropping eggs in flight.

Most crane fly eggs are black in color and often have a filament to anchor the egg in wet or aquatic env ironments.

Adult crane flies have a total life span of 10 to 15 days.

The larv ae hav e b een seen in

v elopment. Repeated exposure to noise during certain dev elopmental periods can affect a child’s ability to acquire language- related skills like reading and listening. In addition, noisy env ironments, such as noisy homes, can make it hard for children to learn.

Noise can affect the cardiovascular system. The EPA said that children who are chronically exposed to loud noise may suffer from elevated b lood pressure and other cardiov ascular ailments.

How can parents protect children from noise?

Though noise can affect youngsters’ ov erall health, the experts at Johns Hopkins Medicine said that parents can try v arious strategies to prev ent noise- induced hearing loss.

Wear earplugs or ear muffs when around loud noise. Earplugs fit into the outer ear and ear muffs fit over the entire outside of the ear. The EPA adv ised parents to ensure that children wear child- sized earplugs or ear muffs when engaging in or being around noisy activ ities or ev ents.

Reduce the amount of time spent on noisy activ ities.

Teach children to walk away from sources of loud noises. Children should b e instructed to stand far b ack from the stage and away from amplifiers when attending concerts.

Failure to do so can contrib ute to tinnitus, a ringing or b uzzing sound in the ear that is associated with hearing loss.

Noise induced hearing loss is prev entab le. Recognizing the threat noise poses to youngsters’ health is a great first step for parents. many hab itat types from dry land to water and almost ev ery hab itat in b etween. They may eat algae, microflora, living plants or decomposing plant matter. Some ev en prey on other organisms.

The young leatherjackets are an important part of the soil ecosystem, processing organic material and increasing microb ial activ ity.

Larv ae and adults are also ab undant prey for insects, spiders, fish, amphib ians, b irds and mammals.

In their adult form, crane flies hav e such short lifespans that they do not eat at all and are anatomically incapab le of killing or consuming other insects. Contrary to their nickname, mosquito hawk, they certainly do not eat mosquitoes. Some species may, if they feed at all, search out liquids such as nectar.

While annoying and an inconv enience, crane flies can be somewhat comical as they b umb le ab out and crash into walls, people and pets.

Keep car windows closed, your screens tight and porch lights dim, and you may escape the worst of the annual crane fly invasion.

LAS VEGAS – When companies struggle, whether be cause of a ba d economy, poor decisions or other factors, top management’s reaction is often to be come tightlipped ab out the turb ulent situation.

Employees are shut out from strategy discussions, and any ideas they might hav e for fixing the probl em go unheard.

But in many if not most cases, such secretiv eness is the wrong approach and can eve n make things worse, Joe Ferreira, the Forb esBooks author of “Uncomfortabl e Inclusion: How to Build a Culture of High Performance in Life and Work,” said.

“For organizations with tens of thousands of employees, it might make sense to limit who participates in strategy,” Ferreira, who is CEO and president of the Neva da Donor Network, said. “But for smaller organizations, where ev ery person contrib utes to a thriv ing culture and facilitates effectiv e operations, there’s a lot of va lue in invol vi ng eve ryone.”

As his b ook title suggested, Ferreira called the all- inclusiv e way of dealing with things “uncomfortab le inclusion.” He put this philosophy into action when he came to the Neva da Donor Network in 2012 at a time when the organization was dysfunctional and on the v erge of losing its memb ership in the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network/ United Network for Organ Sharing. That loss would hav e shut down the organization for good. Ove r time, with a few fits and starts along the way, the organization rose from floundering to soaring as a leader in the industry.

Ferreira acknowledged that uncomfortab le inclusion is an approach that can b e messy and difficult, but also said that involving the entire organization in strategy and probl em- solvi ng can “reinforce synergy, cooperation and unity while cultiva ting be tter ideas and innova tion.” And that’s

true whether uncomfortab le inclusion is put into action at a failing company, or simply activa ted at a place where leaders be lieve their teams and organization could b e performing be tter, he said.

“It is critical to include ev eryone b ecause ultimately the front- line staff knows best what their env ironment is going to look like tomorrow and likely a few years down the line, and they are b est positioned to b e innov ators,” Ferreira said. “Why wouldn’t we hav e them as part of the planning process? ” He said there are three traits needed to embr ace this inclusion approach. e transparent This trait may b e especially important b ecause Gallup reported that millennials said they want leaders who are open and transparent. Uncomfortabl e inclusion means b eing transparent to the point of discomfort, Ferreira said.

If it is not uncomfortabl e, you are not be ing inclusive enough.

“When you’re transparent with team membe rs and include them in decision- making, you create a network of stakeholders who participate eve n in small decisions,” he said. “When it comes time to make more impactful decisions, a leader can tap into that ba nked br ain trust to make the be st decision possib le b ased on feedb ack from a prove n set of deciders.”

Ferreira suggested taking transparency a step further by including your critics, something he did when he took ove r at Neva da Donor Network.

“In my v iew, our critics and antagonists are the most important catalysts for growth and innova tion,” he said.

Be Accountable People within an organization need to b e accountab le for their actions and to each other.

“I talk about how we’re serious ab out our v alues, and we hold people accountab le,” Ferreira said.

“It isn’t enough to be technically competent. Each memb er of our

organization, regardless of title, role or results, must adhere to our va lues. We maintain our commitment to quality and excellence, and we are supremely, pub licly accountabl e when we fail.”

Be committed Adopting a more inclusiv e approach requires commitment, possibl y a commitment to changing the organization’s v ery culture.

But the goal may be more attainable than it first seems, Ferreira said.

“Achievi ng success in a seemingly hopeless situation requires hard work and a committed mindset, b ut it does not require the reinv ention of the wheel,” Ferreira said. “It does not ev en require luck.

All it requires is willingness and a mind open to learning and implementing actions that can facilitate transformative success.

“Make no mistake, doing this is messy and hard,” Ferreira said. “It might seem unnecessarily difficult, complicated and yes, uncomfortab le. But keep chipping away and rememb er this: Success is achiev ab le, ev en from the b leakest and most dysfunctional starting points.”

Why the proposed Equality Act is unconstitutional

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

Neither the words equality or discrimination are found in the U. S. Constitution, nor inferred. Also, no new amendment to the Constitution has b een added mov ing either from a state to a federal jurisdiction, which is the required path detailed in Article V for enlarging the powers of the federal gov ernment. State delegates formed the U.S. Constitution and they gav e the federal gov ernment no power ov er human association. We naturally discriminate b etween philosophies, organizations, and people we wish to emb race, date or av oid; ev en whom or what we like. We call this freedom.

Now the Democratic Party wishes to impose upon the people restrictions ov er human associations

without a new amendment to the Constitution. Under the misnamed Equality Act it wishes to enshrine “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” to the 19 6 4 Civ il Rights Act outlawing discrimination respecting race or sex in employment, housing and pub lic accommodations. What it does in practice is to “allow the gov ernment to impose a b elief system ab out sexual decisions and sexual b ehav iors on the nation.” The act is “b asically gov ernment- sanctioned discrimination against religious people,” according to CBN News in Octob er 2018. If gov ernment is empowered to manage human associations, it manages ev erything.

More fully how would the misnamed Equality Act v iolate the Constitution? Rememb er the Founding Fathers created a system called federalism, which recognized the principle of dual sov ereignty b etween the states and the federal gov ernment, neither the master nor slav e of the other – the states to hav e domestic dominance, the federal gov ernment foreign policy dominance. All power was div ided in 1787 b etween these two gov ernments. There exists no new powers to distrib ute.

The Constitution restricts the federal gov ernment – the executiv e, legislativ e and judicial b ranches – to the enumerated clauses housed in Article I, Section 8. In this it was restricted to four areas of federal law, these were: to tax, to pay the

deb ts, to prov ide for the general welfare and national defense. To restrict the federal gov ernment from enlarging its power, which is its natural tendency to do, the last two of the four grants of power, general welfare and national defense, each required an additional eight clauses giv ing greater restrictiv e clarity.

Neither equality or discrimination were named, or inferred, as a function of the federal gov ernment.

The eight clauses of general welfare benefited citizens equally and at the same time. None made distinctions b etween types of people or human associations.

All powers not specifically listed, or added later to the Constitution b y way of the Amendment process outlined in Article V, were left to the states. The states retain all power that they did not specifically giv e to the federal gov ernment.

The federal gov ernment can only expand its power at the expense of the states b y distorting or ignoring the existing list which is what it is attempting to do. It can only succeed when the people are ignorant of the Constitution or do not care.

Proponents of the Equality Act include b oth.

Ev en with this clarification, states, fearing that the federal gov ernment might still attempt to grow at their expense, refused to ratify the Constitution without additional restrictions on it, hence the Bill of Rights. But none of these housed either equality or discrimination.

The Bill of Rights ends with the clarity of Amendment 10: “The powers not delegated to the United States b y the Constitution, nor prohib ited b y it to the states, are reserv ed to the states respectiv ely, or to the people.”

So neither equality nor discrimination are in the Constitution or Bill of Rights, b ut the word equal, which is not the same as equality, is in the 14th Amendment. It was a Civ il War amendment from 186 8 designed to ensure that the rights of ex- slav es were protected as the South was attempting to re- enslav e them through legislation. It reads in part, “No state shall . . . deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

One cannot pluck out this phrase and giv e it new meaning outside the context of its origin, – to protect freed men from slav ery – which is precisely what the Democrat Party is doing with their Equality Act. But there is another prob lem with the b road use of the phrase “equal protection of the laws” used out of context, This phrase applies only to that law already constitutional, and that, has to hav e a solid b ase in the listed powers of Article I, Section 8 or in a new amendment to the Constitution ratified by three-fourths of the states as required b y Article V. Any other interpretation destroys the Constitution as designed.

A great irony of our time is that the misnamed Equality Act “creates grav e inequalities b etween those

who simply want to liv e according to their religious b eliefs and the reigning culture of political correctness. In short, it threatens our most fundamental freedoms of speech, religious exercise and priv acy. The Equality Act upends two centuries of First Amendment law that restrains gov ernment from forcing Americans to speak messages or participate in ev ents that v iolate their deeply held religious b eliefs,” according to https://firstliberty.org/ what- is- the- equality- act/ .

The Equality Act has no origin in the Constitution, and thus is unconstitutional. If passed, it would v iolate a large part of the First Amendment, more especially the free exercise of religion, speech and press. A mere act or statute cannot nullify a constitutional amendment.

It opens up myriad new laws on human association, also without constitutional b ase. Neither equality or discrimination can be defined and certainly not guaranteed without Orwellian gov ernmental control.

Perhaps that is their intention.
