Temecula invests in new ladder truck for fire department

Temecula unveils a new aerial ladder truck that will be housed at Station 73 in the business and industrial Valley News/Courtesy photos area west of Interstate 15 in Temecula.

TEMECULA – Temecula unveiled a brand-new aerial ladder truck that is 57 feet in length, with a 101-foot ladder, to be housed at Station 73 in the business/ industrial area of Temecula. The custom-built new truck replaced a 2003 ladder truck, which will be used on reserve and parked at Fire Station 95, the city’s newest fire station off Butterfield Stage Road.

“This new state-of-the-art ladder truck is a significant enhancement to the department’s response capabilities and complies with modern, nationally recognized safety standards,” Temecula fire Chief John Crater, a 27-year veteran firefighter, said. “As the city is developing out, it is also expanding upward with new taller buildings, including hotels and other structures, and this improved ladder truck will provide added capabilities needed to serve our community.”

In 2016, voters approved Measure S, which provided the funds to purchase a new fire ladder truck. The custom-built truck was

constructed and budgeted over two fiscal years and cost approximately $1.2 million.

“Utilizing Measure S, the city is continuing its promise of keeping public safety as the top priority, including fire protection,” Temecula Mayor Maryann Edwards said. “Temecula is very pleased to welcome Ladder Truck 73 to our fleet, strengthening our emergency preparedness and enhancing response capabilities.”

Among some of the equipment on the new truck are at least nine different sized ladders ranging in lengths up to 101 feet, with a camera at the tip of the ladder enabling firefighters at ground level to monitor what’s happening with a birds-eye view. Additionally, the truck is capable of performing confined space rescues with an underground air monitoring system, supplied air and communication equipment. The new ladder truck also houses swift water rescue apparatus including an inflatable boat and related equipment,

jaws-of-life extrication tools and stabilization struts used for trench or other precarious rescues and both low-angle and high-angle rescue equipment to perform technical rescues. The truck additionally provides enhanced abilities to provide life-saving work such as vertical ventilation and gives firefighters the ability to stay out of the collapse-zone on commercial structure fires with an aerial master stream of water.

“We are making investments to proudly support the well-being and safety of our citizens and fire personnel including updated tools, fleet and apparatus that better enables our fire department and first responders to safely and ef-

fectively perform life-saving work, and also protect property,” Mayor Pro Tem Matt Rahn said.

“Since 2016, we’ve opened a new fire station, completed major renovations at another fire station, hired two fire captains, an engineer, an engineer medic, two firefighter II, two firefighter II medics, as well as additional fire systems inspectors, replaced a fleet of fire inspection/medic SUVs and trucks and have now equipped our city with a larger, brand-new fire ladder truck,” Aaron Adams, city manager of Temecula, said. “Measure S will continue to keep Temecula among the safest in the nation.”

Hemet City Council approves new finance and accounting plan Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The Hemet City Council approved a more transparent detailed financial reporting procedure and decided to maintain the city’s own no spending limits on election campaigns in the future instead of using the states election campaign limits in its April 13 city council meeting.

The council on the advice of a contracted financial adviser asked staff to come up with a set of written procedures in the way financial reporting and accounting procedures are done. The request came after the required state financial audit said the city lacked formal policies and procedures in its financial reporting in the past few years.

The staff after months of work provided the council with a written comprehensive policy for the uses of the city’s revenues and expenditures including the use of petty cash and city-issued credit cards.

The new written policy now shows the information about the city’s capital assets, unclaimed property from stale-dated checks, an updated investment policy and

ensures the recommendations from auditors are all included. The policy requires each of the city’s departments to provide detailed information on their revenues and expenditures to the finance department and to the council. The council actions are available to the public on finance and accounting.

Before it was approved, each council member was provided a written copy of the new policies, Jan. 26. The only change to the policy information the council asked for their approval was the actual day-to-day functions of the departments to be removed as it was understood. The new policy now ensures that employee positions are noted but not their names.

The council, in retaining the city’s own non-limited campaign procedures, hoped to avoid state Assembly Bill 571 that sought to set all city campaign limits to elective office commensurate with the state limits. The bill, however, authorized each city to set its own campaign contribution limits which the Hemet council decided to do. Some cities in the state approved the state limits.

The city sustains its own policy on campaign contributions that un-

der resolution, which said “the city council hereby imposes no limit on the campaign contributions that a candidate for city council may receive per election.” The council members argued the state bill was aimed at larger cities with more population and its election candidates having larger campaign money contributors.

In another action, the council approved the purchase of groundwater carry-over credits between Eastern Municipal Water District and city of Hemet in about 2,500 acre-feet per year for eight years at an estimated total value of $16,384,030.

The council applauded the staff for reaching the agreement with EMWD to sell its excess groundwater credits that the city has accumulated in the groundwater basin that provides the potable water that the city pumps and distributes to its customers. The “credits” are the result of the city not using all of its annual allocation of available groundwater because of water conservation efforts and lower demand.

Hemet city manager Chris Lopez told the council that it is already working on the city new and

Helix Environmental to provide habitat restoration services for EVMWD discharge pipeline extension Joe Naiman WRITER

The Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District and two partners extended a discharge pipeline into Lake Elsinore, which will require environmental mitigation, and the EVMWD board selected Helix Environmental Inc. to provide the habitat restoration services.

The 5-0 vote, March 25, approved a $115,767 contract with Helix Environmental while authorizing the expenditure of that amount for the capital improvement project. The environmental mitigated negative declaration and a mitigation monitoring and reporting plan were approved in June 2018, and no updates to those documents were necessary for the professional services agreement which is part of the mitigation plan.

The Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District had discharged tertiary treated effluent from the Regional Water Reclamation Facility to Lake Elsinore along the Lake Elsinore Outlet Channel. The channel is maintained by the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District and funded by the water district and the city as well as by the flood control district. In 1992, the flood control district and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers executed a local cooperation agreement requiring the vegetation within the channel to be maintained to a height of no greater than 1 foot.

The discharge of treated water into the outlet channel caused the growth of vegetation in the channel, which increased maintenance costs for the three funding agencies. The three agencies determined that bypassing the channel and discharging directly to the lake would reduce maintenance efforts and costs, increase effluent discharge to the lake and reduce

nutrient loading from the channel.

The three agencies entered into a cooperative agreement to fund the design and construction of the facilities needed to convey treatment plant effluent discharges to Lake Elsinore. The project called for repurposing and extending an existing irrigation pipeline to Lake Elsinore, modifying the diversion structure, constructing a Lake Elsinore outlet structure and modifying the existing pump station and pump equipment to meet the required capacity.

Construction of the agricultural pipeline conversion project began in February 2019 and was completed in July 2019. The mitigation monitoring and reporting plan requires habitat restoration services within five years of the project completion. The habitat restoration activity will include preparing the site for seeding, planting the seeds, maintenance events to target invasive weed species, wetland plant cutting installation, biological site preparation and monitoring, fiveyear biological monitoring and agency compliance confirmation from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Helix Environmental prepared the Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan. EVMWD staff requested a proposal and detailed scope of services from Helix for restoration implementation, maintenance and biological monitoring.

The cost for five years will be $115,767.

Because the agreement calls for sharing costs equally, the EVMWD share over five years will be $38,589 while the city and the flood control district will each pay $38,589.

Temecula’s first post office is the oldest building in Old Town

Rebecca Marshall Farnbach SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

When visitors stroll through Old Town Temecula, they step into the past, thanks to the visionary efforts of Bob Morris and Tommy Hotchkiss who decided in the late 1970s to make the area distinctively reminiscent of the 1890s.

Today, it is sometimes difficult to discern which buildings are old and which merely look old because they are fabricated from old building materials.

I’ve combed through many records and photographs and have identified the oldest building, one that doesn’t even register with most people as an old building, but I believe it is still standing from 1884.

It appears that the Old Town area was open land without a structure of any kind when Fred Perris surveyed the area in 1880 for the establishment of a townsite before the California Southern Railroad first laid tracks and brought trains to the area in 1882. The land that became Old Town was part of the Temecula Rancho once owned

by Domingo Pujol, which after his death was sold by his widow Mercedes Pujol, which explains the origins of the names of two of the streets in Old Town.

What residents call Old Town Temecula today was referred to as the New Town of Temecula. Previously, the town of Temecula was located around the Wolf Store in today’s Vail Headquarters. Some people have asked why Old Town Front Street is not named Main Street. The reason was that the most important street in the formative years of Old Town was the one going between the railroad depot and the hotel and livery stable. Old Town Front Street did not gain importance until the common use of motorized vehicles and the paving of Old Town Front Street in about 1917 and the eventual disuse of the railroad in Temecula.

When residents think of the old buildings in Old Town, we list

CIF from page A-1 health restrictions.

The playoffs are scheduled to return in May after the pandemic forced the cancellation of the state basketball and spring championships last spring and the Season 1 playoffs earlier this school year.

“We’re going to hand (championship) plaques out again,” Wigod said during a news conference. “I want to commend our studentathletes first for hanging in there.

Are there going to be bumps? Yes. But we are going to work together to ensure this school year and high school sports season wraps up in as normal a fashion as it can.”

The Season 2 sports that missed out on the playoffs last spring were baseball, softball, track and field, swimming and diving, boys’ volleyball, lacrosse, boys’ tennis and boys’ golf.

The announcement arrived following improved health conditions throughout the state the last several weeks. The number of coronavirus cases has dramatically declined while the distribution of the vaccine has widely increased. The California Department of Public Health also made a key adjustment last week to its guidelines for youth sports, allowing teams to travel throughout the state for “inter-team competitions” or games between two teams.

Teams were previously limited to compete within their county or in a bordering county.

The adjustment was critical because the Southern Section includes approximately 560 schools from eight different counties, including Orange, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside.

The section will proceed by hosting team playoffs at home sites, using the same qualifying criteria and divisions as in the past.

The CDPH guidelines still prohibit “tournaments or events”

The Machado post office, which was built in 1884 and is the oldest known building in Old Town Temecula, is shown as it was in early 1950s.

Hotel Temecula, the 1909 building the Palomar Hotel, the “jail” – it was a tank house/water reservoir and never a jail – the McConville house and barn, the Mercantile Building, the Emigrant Office and the Bank. Let’s take a look at the dates of construction for each one.

The Hotel Temecula is the second hotel to sit on the property.

The original building, the Depot House hotel was constructed in 1886, was burned to the ground in 1891, then rebuilt the same year. It has been called by several different names and has been a boarding house or hotel, except from 1959 to 2005 when it was a private residence. Now called Hotel Temecula, it is a bed & breakfast. So, Hotel Temecula has stood since 1891.

The first building at the location of today’s 1909 restaurant was constructed by a merchant named Simon Mundt in 1882. He sold it to Louis Wolf and Mac Machado.

A disaster occurred in October 1888. The Murrieta Transcript told it this way: “We are called upon this week to chronicle the most destructive fire that has ever occurred in this section. At Temecula, on Friday night last at about the hour of 12 o’clock, the large mercantile establishment of M. Machado & Co., with its contents, the residence of M. Machado and the dwelling house of Mrs. L. Wolf were totally destroyed by fire. How the fire originated is not known.

Great credit is due to Terry McConville, through whose exertions the barn of the firm was saved from the devouring elements.”

So, the 1909 building has stood involving more than two teams, which presents an obstacle for holding an individual wrestling tournament or multiple championship games at one site. But the CDPH allows for exceptions, “with authorization from the local health department where the event is being held and each of the local health departments where teams originate from,” in the sports of track and field, swimming and diving, golf and tennis.

The Southern Section said that it is working on “securing approval from various county health departments” to hold postseason championships in track and field, swimming and diving, golf and tennis.

“We’ve already been in contact with various sites that we’re trying to line up … (and are) already working with some county health departments,” Wigod said and mentioned that swimming and diving would not be held at its regular site of Riverside City College.

The L.A. City Section has maintained it will host team playoffs for Season 2, but the status of indoor basketball and wrestling are “to be determined,” Commissioner Vicky Lagos said.

The Los Angeles Unified School District has not approved indoor competition.

The Southern Section said more details about playoff dates, locations and spectators will be “coming soon.” Wigod said he believed streaming options will be in place for fans not able to attend games. He also emphasized the importance of being flexible about games being played later in the calendar or the potential of games being canceled due to a positive COVID-19 test.

since 1909.

The Palomar Hotel was built in about 1927 and was called Hotel McCulloch until 1937. The building has continuously been a hotel since its construction in 1927. It is “new” in the scale of things in Old Town Temecula.

About 30 years or so ago, someone put a sign “Jail” on the old tank house, an outbuilding on the Hotel Temecula property that has a base of granite mined from nearby hills. An old hand-drawn map labeled the structure as a well.

It was most likely a covered well with a pump to direct water to a storage tank for a gravity-fed water system. While the structure is old, there is no record of when it was constructed, and it is not technically a building. Although it was not an official jail, it is possible that lawbreakers occasionally may have been locked in the structure until peace officers could arrive from Riverside. There is no date listed for the Tank Building.

The McConville House and Barn are evident in some of the early photographs of Old Town. It is believed they were built in 1890

by Hugh McConville who was a pioneer blacksmith and livery stable owner. The structure painted red at the front of the property on Pujol Street was built much later, and although it is labeled as a fire house, it never was used as a fire station. So, the McConville House and barn have been standing since 1890.

The Mercantile Building was constructed by Phillip Pohlman in 1890 from bricks discarded from a brick factory once owned by Louis

Wolf in Wolf Valley. It operated a s a general store, then as an auto repair shop and later as an antique store. The city of Temecula owns the building now and has renovated it into a ticket office, an art gallery and a small performance venue. The Mercantile Building has stood since 1890.

The Emigrant Office is a small building on the Hotel Temecula property that was possibly used as an office where foreign nationals would register upon entering the Temecula area in the 1950s. It is an old wood structure, more like a shed or an outbuilding, and there’s no history of when it was built or if it was moved onto the property from elsewhere. There’s no date for when the Emigrant Office was constructed.

The Bank was built from poured concrete in 1917 to handle the payroll for the Vail Ranch. It was the scene of a bank robbery in 1930 and has been an antique store and a restaurant since 1978. The Bank has stood since 1917.

The one building not usually considered as being old in Old Town is what I believe is the oldest structure documented in the area, the Public House restaurant.

Historian Tom Hudson said Mac Machado constructed the building with “a gingerbread front” and that it was the first post office built for that purpose. On Nov. 13, 1884, President Chester Arthur appointed Mac as postmaster of the Temecula post office in its fifth location, at 41971 Main Street, which is the address of the Public House. Photographs of the Public House building show gingerbread facades through the 1970s. The building sat between the Machado

Store and the Machado’s home during the 1888 fire, but the newspaper did not mention it burning.

In looking at old Sanborn Maps, it appears the small, square post office building may have been moved back and forth to several positions on the lot at different times. In the past three decades, it has been an upholstery shop, a deli and ice cream store and a beauty salon. The square central core of the building has been built upon, and now the Public House restaurant has a front porch and backyard. It has graced the Temecula landscape since 1884.

Old Town Temecula offers a lot of dining and entertainment options. For those who enjoy history, there is another venue to explore.

At the north end of Old Town, the Temecula Valley Museum is located in Sam Hicks Monument Park. Be sure to visit the museum.

Check out the names on the “They Passed This Way” commemorative monument.

Living trust attorney finds will to live during near-death accident Timothy Daniel SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

In an ironic twist, Temecula living trust attorney Paul Hanks survived a harrowing near-death hiking accident and four days in the desert. He said, “I felt death!”

He told his story with conviction, fear, pain, excitement and the will to live. He survived five days in Joshua Tree National Park with no water, a prickly pear cactus and a serious head injury.

Hanks has hiked most of his adult life.

“I like to get remote,” he said.

“Get out there alone. I chose Joshua Tree to hike for my 54th birthday (March 11, 2018), and it all just backfired.”

Located just north of Palm Springs, Joshua Tree straddles the Riverside/San Bernardino County line and encompasses almost 800,000 acres. The area has been inhabited by humans for at least 5,000 years.

With nearly 1 million visitors in 2019, the park has had its share of injuries and deaths. The national park has well over 1,600 deaths in recordable years, including missing hikers, bodies found and shallow graves. Hanks said he could have been a part of those records.

“After my Joshua Tree hike, I was going to head to the Mojave Desert and then meet Patty in Vegas for my birthday. But Joshua Tree is where I started,” he said.

He never made it to Las Vegas.

Hanks started his journey in a higher area of the park with 24 ounces of water. There didn’t appear to be many hikers there recently, he said. He saw only two single hikers on that Sunday afternoon.

He said he climbed up some rocks to what he thought was maybe 50 to 60 feet high.

“I picked out this rock section that made me traverse through different and higher sections of the rocks,” Hanks said. “As I got to the highest point, a small flake of rock chipped off, and if you’ve ever heard that rock-on-rock scrape, I knew I was in trouble. First thing in my mind was ‘I’m dead.’”

The rock loosening was the start

Temecula residents Patti and Paul Hanks, who survived four days lost and injured in Joshua Tree National Valley News/Courtesy photo Park, pose for a photo while hiking.

of five days of hell, he said. As the rock gave way, his body started its descent down a rock cliff.

“I felt nothing but death, and my mind went totally blank,” Hanks said. “As I’m falling, I see the ground coming up fast from about what I think is maybe 15 feet.”

The entire drop, which he and the doctors discussed, could have been between 40 feet and 60 feet, however, his final landing was a platform sticking out several feet from the mountain rocks. He was alive, but he said he did not know what was wrong or if he was even going to live much longer. It was a day-by-day, methodical approach to survival.

“If I was going to die, it may be later, but not right now,” Hanks said. “The most horrific shot of pain came from my left side.”

He checked to see what was working and what was broken, he said, knowing it was not going to be good. The first thing was to see if he could stand up.

“I started checking my body and

the left side felt worse,” Hanks said. “I felt from head to toe. I did know right away that I had lost some teeth. I kept feeling my head because something did not feel right. I started feeling my upper head. I didn’t feel any holes, but it was crusty and flakey in my upper forehead and I started picking at it.”

He said his bottle of water went missing in the fall. Along with a heel shattered in seven places, he had a broken bone in the left pelvic area and a compression fracture in the lumbar region. Hanks was later diagnosed with compartment syndrome, a condition that restricts blood flow to certain parts of the body, and in his case, it seemed to reside in his entire body, his doctor said. He was bloated, blue and without food and water for five days. One doctor told him he looked like the Pillsbury Dough Boy. Nevertheless, there was no one to help him; he could barely move and the only thing he could do was

yell for help. He was miles from anyone or anything.

March is cold in the high desert mountains of Southern California with temperatures dropping into the 30s at night. Hanks was lying at 4,200-foot elevation, wearing shorts, hiking shoes and two Tshirts and dragging himself along the rock-hard desert floor. He said he could see lights way off in the distance, so he kept trying to sleep and survive until the next day.

“I couldn’t sleep because it was too cold, but I needed to find a tree.

I also figured maybe I could dig a hole like an animal and burrow into the hole, but it was just too cold.

Maybe I can just die in my sleep,” he said.

At the end of the first day, Hanks worked his way to a rock perch where he could see a drop-off and a valley below to where he might find his way out of the park, but then, Hanks blacked out.

In the middle of the night, Hanks woke up in the pitch black at the bottom of the little valley below the perch of rocks he was on, near a rock in some soft sand. When he came to, he said he climbed back up to that perch.

“Somehow, I went over the rock perch, and I free-fell headfirst to the bottom about 15 feet,” Hanks said. “I had to research further, so I crawled back down to where I woke up freezing in the dark where I saw a 3-foot rock right next to where I woke up. The first thing I noticed were three unmistakable large fresh blood spots on that rock.

It looked like an animal had been eaten there.”

It was not animal blood though; It was his blood from a quartersized hole in his head. Now on top of all his injuries from the first day, Hanks had multiple orbital bone fractures and a hole in his head.

Several days before Paul Hank’s birthday, he invited his wife Patty Hanks to join him in Las Vegas to celebrate.

“I arrived on Tuesday at the hotel Paul had reserved for his birthday,” Patty Hanks said.

That day was Day Three of Paul Hanks’s ordeal.

“I asked the clerk at the front desk for Paul Hanks room number,” Patty Hanks said.

The front desk clerk said Paul Hanks never arrived, and they had no idea what happened.

“I thought maybe he had a change of plans,” Patty Hanks said.

She called their son to see if he checked into another hotel before she arrived, but he had not.

“I didn’t want to panic and thought he was on his way (to Vegas), but it was now three days after he was supposed to arrive,” she said.

She asked her son to call the police and file a missing person’s report, which he did.

“I definitely started to worry because Paul knew how much this trip meant to me,” Patty Hanks said. “I knew something was wrong, but I didn’t want to admit it.”

With calls made to Las Vegas Metro Police Department and all the hospitals, there was no sign of him, she said.

“I started to call the family, but I didn’t call his mother until the next morning because I couldn’t tell her that her son was missing.

Not knowing what happened and where he was, was the scariest, scariest feeling,” she said.

On Wednesday, March 14, the Hanks’ son Michael went to the park’s ranger station and asked them to start looking for their father. The search found no sign of Paul Hanks. Search and rescue teams went out through the park with dogs to look all night, Patty Hanks said.

“It was the most horrible two and half days of my life not knowing if we were ever going to find him,” Patty Hanks said.

On Thursday afternoon, she and the rest of his family were gathered at the ranger’s station in Joshua Tree, and a park official walked into the room.

“The first words the ranger said were ‘We have news; we found Paul,’ and no one said a word, not knowing what the next words were going to be,” Patty Hanks said with a quivering voice, three years after the incident. “The next words from the ranger were, ‘He’s alive; he’s alert and he’s talking.’”

Paul Hanks had been found.

While waiting for help that he never knew was coming, Hanks said he saw a prickly pear cactus.

He decided to eat it, not knowing if it was poisonous.

“My first bite, I gulped it down and waited to see if I was going to convulse if it was poisonous,” he said. “But I had an immediate fusion and rush of energy because my body was so starved.”

He decided not to eat any more, however.

“I started to realize that the local animals eat these pods for their survival and nutrients, and I didn’t want to take the food from these animals,” he said. “With just that pod from the cactus, I had a huge energy rush that made me feel that I could continue to live on for the next few days.”

He thought about the following days, recalling night after night of hallucinations. Hanks said he thought he was seeing someone there in the distance, looking for him during the week.

Spending some energy Thursday night, March 15, Hanks said he decided to yell for help a few more times before falling asleep.

He said he heard a return voice, but he was unsure, thinking that the return voice was his own voice.

“I think it’s my voice I am hearing, or my echo,” Hanks said.

“I’m saying to myself; I can play this game. I’ll call out, and I’ll answer myself back. I finally heard a different voice than mine, and I picked it up and froze.”

A team of three had found Hanks after deciding to take a strange offtrail route to see if he was there.

The first thing one of the rescuers asked him was: “What can I get you?”

He said he answered, “A Gatorade.”

From behind his backpack, the rescuer pulled out a bottle of Gatorade, Hanks said.

“All I could think about was like a commercial when someone drinks Gatorade and it’s dripping down from their chin,” he said.

They airlifted him to a hospital.

Patty Hanks was one of the first family members to see him. He was purple, bloated and had a unique wound in his upper forehead. Patty said she asked the nurse about it, and the nurse told Patty Hanks, “That’s his brain.”

Another nurse caught her as she started to faint, Patty Hanks said.

For four days, Paul Hanks had survived with brain matter outside of his skull.

The prickly pear cactus carries very strong antioxidants, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties, he said, adding that it undoubtedly helped in his survival.

Three years later, Hanks has recovered, spending his spare time educating people on the prickly pear cactus and many other survival tools. He survived five days in extreme conditions, only to do it again.

Paul Hanks owns Ironclad Living Trusts, 28581 Old Town Front St., in Temecula. For more information, visit https://santeelegalcenter.com/.

RamonaThon to support ‘Ramona’ California’s Outdoor Play Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The annual “Ramona” pageant which is presented at the Ramona Bowl Amphitheater in Hemet will be put on hold for the second year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but organizers will offer a “RamonaThon” virtual show, Saturday, May 1, visiting the history of the world-famous outdoor play.

The RamonaThon will feature photos and short films of the actors who played in the show and a virtual tour of some of the Ramona Bowl. While it is normally open to the public, currently it still remains

closed due to continuing renovations and COVID-19 restrictions.

The Ramona Bowl Amphitheater staff is seeking to preserve “Ramona” and the Ramona Bowl.

“There are so many ways that COVID-19 has affected our lives in Riverside County and the region.

In Hemet and San Jacinto, the twoyear interruption of the production of the nearly 100-year-old tradition of the beloved play ‘Ramona’ is one that is having a great impact on the stability of its home, the Ramona Bowl,” Lori Van Arsdale, Ramona Board member, said. “‘Ramona’ started back in 1923 when members of the Hemet and San Jacinto

ONELEGACY from page A-1 a new perspective and appreciation for life,” she said. “I didn’t realize how important or relevant organ donation would be to me.

When I received my driver’s license at 16, I was asked if I wanted the pink dot (indicating that you have chosen to donate your organs and/or tissue). Being a teenager, I was more focused on driving, and I didn’t get the pink dot.”

Jared Stanley Gates, who graduated from Lake Elsinore High School in 2000, did get the pink dot, and on June 29, 2012, he became a donor.

“Jared passed in his sleep at the age of 30 from hypertensive coronary disease,” his mother Debbie Harris said. “I remember him asking me about signing up to be a donor, and I told him I was but that it was a personal decision. I became a OneLegacy ambassador in 2014 to honor my son and his decision to be a donor.”

Ambassadors for the nonprofit share their personal stories to bring awareness to organ donation and educate the public that it can also include other life-changing donations such as eyes and tissue. Donation and transplantation facts from OneLegacy’s website showed how one organ donor can save the lives of up to eight people by donating their heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, pancreas and small

intestines. On average, one tissue donor can enhance the lives of more than 75 people by donating their corneas, skin, bones, heart valves and more.

Harris, who lives in the Sun City community in Menifee, said they were able to recover tissue, bone and veins from Gates. She recalled her son as loving his family and friends, art and all kinds of music; he played the bass guitar.

“I believe we need to think about how it would be if we were the family waiting for that donation to save our loved one’s life and the joy you get knowing your loved one was able to help them,” she said. “In your darkest time, it’s a great way of honoring your loved one’s life.”

Preparing for OneLegacy’s 19th annual Donate Life virtual run/walk Saturday, April 24, is keeping Heranic, 55, busy, she said. She and Stump will be on team #hugsfordylan. April is National Donate Life Month, and Heranic attended several local city council meetings to accept proclamations recognizing it at the community level. She said she feels especially connected to these events because April is her heart anniversary month. She said being an ambassador during the height of the pandemic was difficult, but Zoom and emails enabled her to stay active.

“At first, when everything shut down, we felt that transplantation

Chambers of Commerce and the community created the first play.

They chose a picturesque location with incredible acoustics that became one of the most popular outdoor venues in Southern California attracting well over a million visitors for Ramona and other events such as concerts, graduations and other play productions.

“For the most part, how ‘Ramona’ goes is how the Bowl goes.

Sitting on 168 acres in the south hills of Hemet with a 5,443-seat amphitheater and multiple ancillary buildings and structures, the Ramona Bowl is truly a local treasure. This local treasure rewas going to be greatly impacted.

But pandemic or not, lives needed to be saved and the transplant centers amped up,” she said. “I have done, along with Dana, several trainings and speaking events via Zoom. It is definitely not the same because in person you can really feel the emotions and connections, but Zoom became effective in reaching those that may not have attended a physical meeting. I have been surprised by those reaching out with questions that probably would never had.”

More than 107,000 people are currently waiting for an organ transplant in the United States, which includes more than 21,000 Californians, according to OneLegacy. About one-third of deceased donors are age 50 or older.

Every major religion in America supports organ, eye and tissue donation as one of the highest expressions of compassion and generosity.

Heranic taught for almost 20 years, mostly at Terra Cotta Middle School, before she fell ill in 2016.

“I never realized how important my previous students would be in my recovery process,” Heranic said. “Students would randomly show up at my house bringing flowers, cards, stuffed animals and send texts messages to encourage me. They saw me at my worst and kept giving me constant encouragement. Several switched college majors to be in the medical field and some now work at Cedars-Sinai.”

Heranic had her first heart attack in March 2016, followed by hospitalizations, several openheart surgeries, strokes and being sent to Cedars-Sinai hospital to be implanted with a left ventricular assist device or LVAD, which is a battery-operated mechanical pump. She made the transplant list in January 2017. One year after her transplant, she met with

quires a tremendous amount of maintenance and upkeep which is generally funded by Ramona and other events that take place at the Ramona Bowl,” Van Arsdale said.

“We are all painfully aware of the shutdown of events at all venues this past year. Although the state recently announced that venues would be able to start reopening, because rehearsals have to start in January, it did not come in time to produce Ramona again this year,” she said.

The RamonaThon virtual fundraiser will display a collection of historic footage, interviews from cast, crew and volunteers and

At-risk youth participate in ‘Gearing Up for STEM’ workshop WILDOMAR – Mona Davies and her husband STEM coach Bob sponsored another “Gearing Up for STEM” workshop for at-risk youth Saturday, April 3.

The Davies are the founders of Community Outreach Ministry, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping at-risk youth to be empowered to graduate from high school and set their sights for college and beyond. To achieve that goal, the Davies sponsor STEM workshops to inspire youth to build STEM career skills. According to the Spotlight student newspaper of Southern Lehigh High School in Pennsylvania, high school dropouts are at a much higher risk of being incarcerated.

Eighty percent of males in federal and state prisons do not have a high school diploma.

The STEM workshop was held thanks to Jennifer Hernandez of Wellness and More for hosting the event in Murrieta. The Angel Tree children – the term used to describe the girls and boys assisted by the ministry – built robots with some mentors who have professional backgrounds in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

The Davies said they believe their research shows that helping youth develop STEM skills helps them combat drugs and resist street gang influences.

The mentor-protégé workshops are designed for children between eight and 18 and serve to equip youth to develop reading, critical thinking and problem-solving skills while learning how to work together as a team. Intervention is key in preventing youth from future incarceration and to reduce recidivism rates. The ministry relies on volunteers for most of its programs. For the recent STEM workshop, volunteer Janice Hare of Mt. View Church in Wildomar assisted in bringing together family members to the workshop.

“I really enjoyed my time mentoring the youth and watching them have fun learning about STEM by building robots,” Noah Ekstrom, chemical processing engineer at Henkel Electronics in Irvine, said.

Ekstrom’s parents, Jenny and Chuck, also served as mentors at the event.

“I was so impressed by the focus the kids showed,” Ekstrom said. “I want the kids to know this is a great career option with endless possibilities for fun, challenging careers that can support them financially. I am grateful to have been a part of the day.”

Karin Arango, regional director of church mobilization for Prison Fellowship Angel Tree, also expressed

her appreciation for how the robotics was presented and taught to children of all ages referring to the event as “fantastic.” She complimented Community Outreach Ministry for their years of working with Angel Tree and at-risk children in the community, their depth of understanding of the needs and hopes of the children and for their dedication commenting on how the Davies have become an inspiration to others. On behalf of the 11 families and 24 children from Riverside County, a donation of $222 was made to Prison Fellowship in celebration of April being Second Chance Month for returning citizens to become productive members of society.

Yolande Hill of Yolande’s Art of Photography in Lake Elsinore partnered with Community Outreach Ministry to capture photos of the children in action. She came up with a twist on STEM: Start Today Educating Me. The Davies expressed their gratitude to Jon and Liz Vallejo, directors of Camp Agape, along with Peggy Nunes and Thomas Chitwood for hosting a booth and inviting caregivers to register their children ages 7-17 for camp.

“There is nothing in this world like changing the life of a child,” Jon Vallejo said.

The camp will be held, Sept. 3-6.

To register, visit http://campagape-

california.com or call 951-741-6288.

Cynthia Duran of Sewing Stories Arts and Crafts hosted a booth at the workshop.

“I always learn so much from the children when they are creating their artwork,” she said. “Some children come up with innovative ways to accomplish the exact look they want and allowing them full creative freedom to make their choice of color and placement is the best part of the process.”

Jacori and Jaelin Neal, known as the Neal Brothers, from Lake Elsinore are a singing duo who benefited from the services of Community Outreach Ministry over the years. The Neal Brothers sang “Because He Lives,” “I Can Face Tomorrow” and “His Eye Is on the Sparrow.” Other volunteers at the event included Marcelo Ramirez and his daughters Briana and Sasha who helped with the set up and tear down for the event. The Ramirez family are members of the Gateway Spanish Church of the Nazarene in Murrieta.

IEC receives EVMWD design contract for Tomlin Pipeline replacement Joe Naiman WRITER

Infrastructure Engineering Corporation has been awarded the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District contract for the design of the Tomlin Pipeline replacement project.

The EVMWD board voted 5-0, March 25, to award IEC a $200,917 contract for the design work. The total approved expenditures of $238,624 also include $36,702 for staff time and $1,005 for overhead.

The Tomlin Pipeline was constructed in 1964 and is currently a steel water main 6 inches in diameter.

Most of the pipeline was constructed within a dirt roadway, and it is located within a utility easement 20 feet wide. Erosion along the align-

Work progresses on Interstate 15, Railroad Canyon Road rehabilitation projects

ment has caused parts of the pipe to become exposed to the elements, which has caused corrosion issues and is compromising the structural integrity of the pipeline.

The Tomlin Pipeline replacement project will replace approximately 5,100 feet of the pipe between the Tomlin 1 Pump Station and the Tomlin 2 Reservoir with a new pipe 8 inches in diameter. The work will also rehabilitate and stabilize the eroded maintenance access road.

District operations staff must currently access the Tomlin 1 Reservoir and the Tomlin 2 Pump Station from an indirect route off Ortega Highway, and rehabilitating the access road will restore a direct and more efficient access route from the Tomlin 1 Pump Station to the Tomlin 1 Reservoir and

then to the Tomlin 2 Pump Station.

The district issued a request for proposals for professional engineering services, Nov. 23. Three proposals were received by the Jan. 5 deadline. A review panel evaluated the proposals based on firm qualifications, experience and understanding of the project. IEC was determined to be the most qualified firm.

Although the replacement of an existing facility is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review, part of the pipeline is within the Cleveland National Forest and IEC will prepare an environmental assessment to comply with National Environmental Protection Act requirements.

The California Department of Transportation continues work on a $28 million project to replace the No. 3 and No. 4 lanes on Interstate 15 in and near Temecula from the Riverside/San Diego County line to just north of the Temecula Creek Bridge Monday through Friday, weather permitting.

From April 19 through April 23, northbound I-15 had alternating lane closures of lanes 2, 3 and 4 from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily, from Rainbow Valley Boulevard to State Route 79/Temecula Parkway. Daytime work will continue behind K-rails.

Motorists should know before they go, Caltrans said. To stay on top of roadwork in the Inland Empire go to Caltrans District 8 and sign up for commuter alerts.

Follow the latest information on Facebook and Twitter. To assist in planning the commute, motorists can view live traffic conditions using QuickMap and planned lane closures.

For those with sensory disabilities requiring alternate formats,

such as Braille, large print, sign language interpreter, etc., and those needing information in a language other than English, contact Caltrans Public Affairs at 909-383-4631 or TTY 711.

Work is continuing with some nighttime road closures on westbound Railroad Canyon Road on northbound Grape Street in Lake Elsinore as work continues there by the Riverside County Transportation Commission. RCTC, in partnership with Caltrans and the city of Lake Elsinore, is upgrading the Interstate 15 Railroad Canyon Interchange in Lake Elsinore.

The project will improve safety and capacity by adding lanes, modifying ramps and building sidewalks and bike lanes along Railroad Canyon Road. These improvements will help residents and other travelers move through this area and reach businesses and other “Dream Extreme” attractions in Lake Elsinore.

Caltrans and RCTC remind motorists that traffic violation costs double in construction areas.

Menifee Police Department offers online crime reporting system Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Almost everyone is concerned about crime, even more when it is in their own neighborhoods. The Menifee Police Department, seeking more transparency, has posted a special online Police Reporting System for all residents unless it is an emergency that is still to call 911.

With the online reporting system, it will not work if the crime is an emergency, outside of the Menifee city limits, if there are known suspects in it or if it occurred on a state freeway. The department also warns that reporting a false police report is a crime.

If not, residents can fill their own report online. If they are making a report the department suggests they turn off their pop-up blocking software first.

How does it work?

Using the Menifee Police Department Citizen Police Reporting System, residents can report incidents such as: lost property, telephone harassment, vandalism and theft.

The resident needs to go to the Menifee Police Department Online Crime Reporting on their computer. The instructions are on the page

and the reporting document. Once it is filled out the resident will see the words, “Your report has been submitted.” They will be given a tracking number for your report and be able to print a temporary copy of the report for their records.

Once that is done, all the cases filed will be reviewed by the appropriate staff. Upon review, if further investigation of the reported case is needed, they could be contacted.

The report has a list of information to be checked off, followed by the residents written report.

Crime mapping available The Menifee Police Department website also has a link to a crime mapping map where the department investigated and took action on crime reports and observations.

The online crime reporting system was put in place by department investigations staff and police Chief Patrick Walsh.

“I am committed to uphold the mission of the Menifee Police Department,” Walsh said. “We deliver an experience where people feel unified, engaged and safe.”

The online crime reporting opportunity and the crime activity map is a part of the department’s effort to be more transparent.

Riverside County shows 104 new coronavirus cases, 3 additional deaths City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Riverside County showed 104 new coronavirus cases, three additional virus-related deaths and a drop in hospitalizations over the weekend.

The aggregate number of COVID-19 cases recorded since the public health documentation period began in March 2020 increased to 297,319, according to numbers released Monday by the Riverside University Health System. The number of COVID-related fatalities increased to 4,528.

The agency, which does not provide updated COVID-19 statistics on weekends, reported that 85 coronavirus patients were being treated in hospitals countywide as

of Monday, five fewer than Friday.

That figure includes 15 intensive care unit patients, six fewer than Friday.

The number of known active virus cases countywide was 1,810, down 350 from Friday. The active count is derived by subtracting deaths and recoveries from the current total – 297,319 – according to the county Executive Office.

Nearly 1.4 million vaccine doses have been administered countywide since December. As of last week, roughly 70% of residents 65 years and older – who are at the highest risk for hospitalization or death from COVID-19 – had been immunized, Kim Saruwatari, director of county Public Health, told the Board of Supervisors Tuesday.

The county’s coronavirus posi-

tivity rate is at 2%, the same as two weeks ago, and the state-adjusted case rate is 3.6 per 100,000 people, which reflects a rolling seven-day average. Two weeks ago, it was 3.5 per 100,000.

Riverside County has been in the orange tier of the state’s public health regulatory system since April 7, which has allowed for more county businesses to reopen.

Before that, the county had been in the red tier of the state’s “Blueprint for a Safer Economy” framework since March 16, after five months in the most restrictive purple tier.

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

Leonida Builders receives Santa Gertrudis trail extension contract Joe Naiman WRITER

Leonida Builders Inc. received the city of Temecula contract to construct an extension of the Santa Gertrudis Creek Pedestrian/ Bicycle Trail.

A 5-0 Temecula City Council vote Tuesday, March 23, awarded Leonida Builders a $3,978,626.25 contract for the work, authorized the city manager to approve change orders of up to 10% of that amount and authorized a $18,938.94 payment to the Regional Conservation Authority to cover the project’s Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan fee.

The Santa Gertrudis Creek Pedestrian/Bicycle Trail extension will construct approximately 1 mile of asphalt pedestrian and bicycle trail primarily along the southern bank of the creek between Ynez Road and Winchester Road. The construction will include improvements to existing Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District maintenance roads, a new undercrossing and retaining walls at Ynez Road, Interstate 15 and

Jefferson Avenue. Leonida Builders will also provide striping on Winchester Road near Diaz Road to add bicycle lanes.

In April 2020, the city council approved the environmental Mitigated Negative Declaration.

The Sept. 1 city council meeting included approval of the plans and specifications, and that action also authorized the city’s Department of Public Works to solicit bids for the project. Due to bid irregularities all bids received by the Dec. 3 deadline were rejected Dec. 21, and the project was rebid with the advertisement for bid issued Jan. 21. Seven of the eight bids received by the Feb. 18 deadline were considered responsive. Three of the bids were below the engineer’s estimate of $4,400,000.

Leonida Builders Inc., which is based in Santa Clarita, had the low bid of $3,978,626.25. KEC Engineering, whose headquarters are in Corona, submitted the second-lowest bid which was $4,361,861.00.

The Regional Conservation Authority requires locally funded capital improvement projects to contribute the applicable Multiple

Species Habitat Conservation Plan fees within 90 days of the award of the construction contract. The fees outside of the public right of way are on a per-acre basis while the fee for a typical right of way improvements is 5% of the construction cost. The fee for the Santa Gertrudis Creek Pedestrian/ Bicycle Trail project is $7,606 per are, and since 2.49 acres are involved the total fee is $18,938.94.

A $397,862.63 contingency along with the contract price and the conservation fee brings the total budgeted amount to $4,395,427.82. A combination of developer fees, bicycle transportation funding, the vehicle registration surcharge for air pollution reduction, Measure S sales tax revenue, the Road Repair Accountability Act gasoline tax and vehicle registration fee and general fund money will be used for the project.

The contract calls for construction to be completed in 120 working days, which is approximately six months.

Wallace & Associates to manage Canyon Lake sewer rehabilitation Joe Naiman WRITER

Wallace & Associates Consulting will handle construction management for the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District’s Canyon Lake sewer rehabilitation project.

The EVMWD board voted 5-0, March 25, to approve a $145,976 professional services agreement with Wallace & Associates, which is headquartered in Murrieta. The board also authorized $730 for overhead, which creates a total budget of $146,706 for the design construction management work.

The Canyon Lake sewer system was constructed by the developers who built the community in the 1960s. It was originally administered by a sewer district, and that district was annexed by the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District in 1968. The sewer system consists of vitrified clay pipe 6 inches and 8 inches in diameter.

The average life expectancy of vitrified clay pipe is 50 years, so the Canyon Lake sewer pipes have exceeded their useful life

XIMINES from page A-1 “They did so well with the remote production… with their mums and dads helping them and their brothers and sisters holding iPhones and ring lights, but they never had the proper Idol experience,” she said. “Some people really come alive on that big stage.

We thought they deserved to have that experience.”

Host Ryan Seacrest said that when the pandemic shut down the studio at this time last year, the producers quickly pivoted to “Idol at Home” but those finalists never got the true experience of the big stage, lights, cameras, hair, makeup, wardrobe and a live band backing them up.

Judge Luke Bryan said the singers didn’t get their big moment in

expectancy. During periods of rain or other high groundwater events, the system collection capacity is inhibited by groundwater infiltration through leaking pipe joints and broken pipes. The sewer mains are both within public roads and within easements on private properties, and the maintenance on the portions of the pipeline which traverse heavily landscaped backyards or are adjacent to steep slopes is difficult and costly.

EVMWD staff evaluated various replacement and rehabilitation options with the focus on reducing impacts to existing homeowners and providing the most cost-effective construction method. Capacity of the existing pipes is not an issue, so a trenchless cured-in-place pipe lining method was chosen.

Closed circuit television inspection data and maintenance records were reviewed. Several sewer mains have cracks and offset joints which require immediate rehabilitation.

The critical areas will be systematically upgraded to avoid blockages and reduce the potential for raw sewage backups and overflows.

The cured-in-place pipe lining method will rehabilitate approximately 3,700 feet of sewer mains.

Spot repairs of major defects such as large joint offsets will take place before the relining.

The specialized nature of curedin-place pipe lining requires the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District to utilize a construction manager and inspection team with the expertise to assist the district during construction. Proposals for construction management and observation services were issued Dec. 29. Six proposals were received by the Feb. 2 deadline. A review panel evaluated the proposals based on firm qualifications, experience and project understanding. Wallace & Associates was determined to be the most qualified company.

The district intends to file a notice of exemption from California Environmental Quality Act review since the replacement of an existing facility is not considered to be subject to CEQA. Joe Naiman can be reached by email at jnaiman@reedermedia. com.

front of a live studio audience and judge Katy Perry said that felt kind of unfair, so the comeback show was created to give 10 contestants an opportunity to perform on the Idol stage.

Judge Lionel Ritchie said, “We’re giving them the stage, but it’s up to America to decide who stays and who goes.”

Singing “Say Yes” by Michelle Williams featuring Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland, Ximines had the judges on their feet with a dance break she added to her performance. The show’s mentor, Bobby Bones, pointed out that Ximines is multi-talented from choosing her own dress and doing her own choreography to being her school’s valedictorian.

Ximines is president of her high school’s Orange Vista Dance Team

and said it was very important for her to showcase her two passions on the big stage.

Judges’ comments after her performance were positive, with Ritchie saying, “What I love about you is that you have the ability to smile at an audience and make the audience smile back; your performance was amazing.”

Perry’s comments referred to Ximines’ 2020 performance filmed at her Menifee home, “You weren’t meant to stay in the living room; you need to be on this stage. You gave us real show business, so I thought it was a whole complete package. I think you were just meant for the stage, so I hope that’s what America thinks as well.”

Bryan said, “You really make us feel comfortable in your world.

You’ve got show business and

theaters and zoos. The guidelines call for gyms, wineries and bars to maintain 25% caps. Receptions and conferences attended by up to 150 people were allowed to resume last week, on the condition that attendees, at minimum, be tested for coronavirus.

Gov. Gavin Newsom has set June 15 as the target date for an end to all restrictions on businesses, gatherings and recreation throughout the state – 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 for yellow tier status, which represents “minimal” presence of the virus.

Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, which require two doses several weeks apart, are currently avail-

able countywide. Use of the onedose Johnson & Johnson vaccine was paused recently while federal health officials investigate reports of six women across the country developing potentially dangerous blood clots within two weeks of being vaccinated. One of the women died. Nearly 7 million people nationwide have received the J&J vaccine.

County officials are awaiting further federal guidance before deciding whether to lift the suspension locally.

Weber wins Joy Street Well rehabilitation contract Joe Naiman WRITER

The Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District will be rehabilitating the Joy Street Well, and Weber Water Resources CA LLC will be the contractor who will perform the rehabilitation work.

Weber Water Resources, which is based in Corona, was awarded a $448,560 contract by a 5-0 EVMWD board vote Thursday, March 25. The action approved total appropriations of $470,510 which will fund $20,599 of staff time expenses and $1,351 of overhead costs.

The Joy Street Well was constructed in 2001 and is in the 16700 block of Joy Street in Lake Elsinore. The well pumps were originally drilled to a depth of 1,680 feet. The well’s original pumping capacity was 1,200 gallons per minute and production was approximately 1,200 acrefeet annually.

“Overall this well’s very high quality. It doesn’t have any constituents of concern,” Jason Dafforn, director of engineering at EVMWD, said.

Minor rehabilitation work performed in 2013 did not include the replacement of the pumps or motors. That rehabilitation increased the well’s efficiency by 20%, but recently the well has been producing approximately

600 acre-feet a year.

In 2017, the district adopted a well maintenance program which seeks to maintain or increase efficiencies of EVMWD wells and to replace wells which have exceeded their useful life or failed. The well maintenance program systematically addresses operational problems of wells due to aging or declining groundwater levels.

“The Joy Street Well was identified as an early project for rehabilitation,” Dafforn said.

The rehabilitation will restore the Joy Street Well capacity to its original 1,200 gallons per minute while also increasing pump efficiency and the well’s life expectancy.

“We anticipate that production will be increased as well as efficiency,” Dafforn said.

EVMWD staff advertised the project for bid Jan. 18 and received two proposals by the Feb. 18 deadline. The Weber Water Resources bid of $448,560 was the lower amount. South West Pump and Drilling, whose headquarters are in Coachella, submitted a bid for $620,527.

The contract requires that the rehabilitation work be completed within 120 days after the work begins.

Police investigate fatal hit-and run crash in Hemet City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Authorities continued Sunday, April 18, to investigate a hit-andrun crash that killed a pedestrian in Hemet.

It happened at about 3:15 a.m.

Saturday on Sanderson Avenue near Fruitvale Avenue, according to the Hemet Police Department.

Police said a woman in her mid-to-late 30s was crossing or standing in the roadway when she was struck by a brown or tan sedan driven by an unidentified woman.

When first responders arrived at the scene, they performed lifesaving measures on the woman, but she later died at a hospital.

Officers searched the area for the

entertainment dialed in, and that’s a big thing.”

Ximines said she wanted to return to “American Idol” to have the chance to show America her full potential.

“I felt out of place singing at home; I’m more of a stage person,” she said. “I do think it’s going to be hard to get that spot in the top 10, but I’m glad I got this opportunity.”

Viewers can vote for Ximines at http://www.americanidol.com, with text messages (C9 to 21523) or through the American Idol app.

Only 30 votes can be cast per contestant – 10 votes per voting method – and voters must be at least 13 years old. Voting closes at 9 a.m. Monday, April 26.

“Traffic investigators are following up on leads and obtaining video from a nearby gas station which may help identify the suspect and the vehicle,” Sgt. Dan Reinbolt said.

Police said that about 30 minutes before the crash, officers had responded to a call of a woman seen jumping out into traffic on Kirby Street, about one block east of where the crash happened. The caller reported almost striking the woman after she jumped or ran into the roadway.

“Officers responded, but could not find the female. It is likely that female is the same person who was struck and killed in the traffic collision,” Reinbolt said.

Menifee’s Olivia Ximines, who competed on last season’s “American Idol” television show, gets a second chance to compete for a spot in the show’s top 10 in the show that aired Monday, April 19.

Soboba entrepreneur opens at-home beauty business Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Catherine “Cat” Modesto has been styling hair since she was 18 years old and took an interest in makeup around age 27. She has three younger sisters who she used to practice on, and after some trial and error, she mastered the techniques.

“I’m a visual learner so it’s pretty easy for me to get the desired makeup/hair results someone wants,” Modesto said. “I’ve booked many special events and felt privileged to be a part of all of them. I love the look clients give me when they see themselves in the mirror for the first time.”

Modesto took Coastline Beauty College’s cosmetician course, consisting of technical instruction and practical operations and covering all practices of an esthetician in 2019 at its Hemet location.

“I originally decided to take the program because I wanted to maintain my own youthful appearance and learn some fountain of youth secrets,” she said jokingly. “When I started to learn and understand esthetics, my desire to share them with others ignited. I absolutely love helping others achieve their glow up.”

That ambition was the motivation behind Modesto starting her own business in December:

Hu$tle & Glow.

“I chose the name because I am dedicated to working hard to make everyone feel and look their best,” Modesto said. “I knew I wanted to be my own boss because I have a family and need flexible hours.”

Currently, she is working from her home studio at the Soboba Reservation that she designed to provide a relaxing atmosphere for her clients. Her goal is to build a studio behind her home and within five years have her own store front studio. Some of the services she offers are facials, skin treatments, body sculpting, teeth whitening, tooth gems and tattoo removal.

The Coastline Beauty College taught Modesto everything she needed to know to pass the California state board as a licensed esthetician. She learned the proper procedures for facials, microdermabrasion, tweezing/waxing, sanitation, disinfection and more.

“I was tested weekly and started taking clients after about 200 hours of instruction, giving me lots of hands-on experience,” Modesto said. “I had so many supportive family members and friends that made regular appointments and kept me busy.”

After completing the program at Coastline, she took courses at the Concepts Institute of Advanced Esthetics and got certified in causes and treatment of hyperpigmentation, understanding and

in HydraFacial, tattoo removal, body sculpting and Pressotherapy.

She earned her certification in advanced body sculpting in Long Beach and took other certification courses with Tooth Kandy in Los Angeles and The Whitening Gals in New York.

“I’m very grateful for the Soboba Higher Education program that enabled me to participate in all these classes,” Modesto said.

“I love meeting new people and building an amazing clientele while learning about the newest services and trying to stay ahead of the game.”

She said her favorite part about having her own business has been the success stories.

“I love when my clients come into their next appointment and share about how people around them noticed the change in them.

Every woman is beautiful; I just enhance their beauty so they can look and feel their best,” Modesto said. “ I love to encourage women and men to be successful in all aspects of their life. Everyone has the potential to win.”

She said she likes to encourage clients to step out of their comfort zone and try a new look.

“Don’t be afraid to just go for it,” Modesto said. “Dress how you want; wear that glittery lipstick; cut your hair. It’s your life and you only get this one, so stand out and be you. If you need a little help with that, come visit me.”

Modesto can be reached at 951-327-3211, by email at hustle.n.glow@icloud.com or on Instagram @ hustle.n.gl oww.

FEM A awards Rancho W ater $ 1 million for new electrical generators TEMECULA – The Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded a grant for $1 million to the Rancho California Water District. The grant will cover 71% of the cost to purchase six of the seven planned on-site electrical generators. In the event of a power shutdown, these generators will be essential to keeping the water flowing to Rancho Water customers throughout the service area.

Rancho Water relies on electricpowered pump stations and wells for delivering drinking water throughout the District’s service area. Recent policy changes adopted by Southern California Edison involving public safety power shutdowns, along with other emergencies such as earthquakes, present a specific risk to the district. During fire-prone weather that involves high winds

and temperatures, accompanied by low humidity, SCE will consider a public safety power shutdown for several large portions of Rancho Water’s service area due to the concern that the SCE electric system could become a source of wildfire ignition.

Recently, the district evaluated the drinking water distribution system to determine the risk associated with a potential public safety power shutdown from SCE. Seven additional sites were identified as desirable for on-site electrical generators within the Rancho Water service area. As part of this project, Rancho Water has already purchased and installed three on-site generators, and these additional seven will result in more than 80% of the district’s service area being covered in the event of an emergency.

“With customer service at the heart of this purchase, Rancho Water is grateful for the opportunity to move forward with this project that will help deliver life-saving water during emergencies and power outages,” Carol Lee GonzalesBrady, president of Rancho Water board, said. “As we all know too well in this area, the threat of a wildfire or other severe weather event can be a stressful time. With these generators, having running, safe water at their tap is one less thing our customers have to worry about.”

Without generators powering well sites, Rancho Water couldn’t continuously pump groundwater if a power outage were to occur, and would have to resort to more costly imported water, pending availability. The new generators will ensure that water can still be

pumped from local groundwater sources, and that drinking water needs can still be met through normal business operations such as pumping, transportation and treatment.

“The generators funded by this grant will tremendously enhance Rancho Water’s emergency resiliency,” Robert Grantham, general manager of Rancho Water, said.

“By focusing on three key wells in our service area, we’re able to target the infrastructure that provides a large supply of our local water. That puts Rancho Water in a position of readiness if a natural disaster, or even a planned outage, should occur.”

The proposed Emergency Power Generation Project adds generators to wells and pump stations in the District that will range from 200 kilowatts to 500 kilowatts depend-

ing on the needs of the area. The on-site electrical generators are expected to be installed by early 2022.

KC Buys Houses serves Southern California residents Christal Gaines-Emory WRITER

KC Buys Houses has been buying homes and businesses for more than 25 years. They invest in homes and businesses other investors may overlook, either because of the condition of the properties or because the owner desires to sell immediately. KC Buys Houses said it is passionate about making the process fast and easy as possible for homeowners.

Casey Martinez began his passion for investing 25 years ago, buying his first home in San Bernardino while a full-time high school teacher. He decided to make a business out of it, and now KC Buys Houses is a family business run by his older sons.

They are dedicated to helping homeowners for their convenience or to help them get out of difficult situations by purchasing their property quickly, he said.

KC Buys Houses purchases properties and businesses “as-is” making KC Buys Houses the first call for those who choose to sell fast. It helps homeowners sell their homes quickly and move forward without complications, real estate agents or disclosures. The simple process allows the homeowners to be comfortable and sell their real estate at their own pace. Some sales can even close on the same day, the process is fast and easy for the homeowner.

Keaton Martinez, son of Casey Martinez, said that after being raised in the real estate business, he enjoys revitalizing homes and businesses.

“Most investors and certainly typical buyers don’t like to take chances on homes that need a lot of work,” Keaton Martinez said.

“It’s tough for many people to see the hidden beauty under the rubble of an old home or depleted business. ”

They specialize in homes that may be too risky because of the amount of work they need to be renovated, he said. Ultimately, they either renovate the home to sell again or keep it to use as a rental. No house is too much work to make beautiful again, he said.

KC Buys Houses also buys businesses, which not only saves the business but allows it to continue and possibly expand with new capital and market connections.

“We are not afraid to take risks on homes or struggling businesses if we, as a family, think that we can save it. ” he said. “Often, saving a business means saving a piece of the community that customers hope can remain active.

Being able to reignite or keep the ball rolling on a business is very satisfying. ” KC Buys Houses has been helping homeowners and businesses get out of unforeseen situations by

When challenges threaten their business, entrepreneurs can use these 5 tips to stay resilient DALLAS – Many entrepreneurs discover that building a business brings difficult challenges, which in turn require resilience to overcome.

But having the capacity to recover and keep going doesn’t always lead to better results. Resilience in the context of long-term business

success also means learning from past difficulties and, as a result, changing direction to the right path, according to James Webb, author of Redneck Resilience: A Country Boy’s Journey To Prosperity, and a successful entrepreneur in the medical and fitness sectors. “‘Pivot’ has become the pre-

6 facets of human needs that drive business success BALLWIN, Missouri – In good economic times and bad, some businesses find a path to success while others are forced to board up their windows and doors.

What’s the difference between those that soar and those that flounder?

Ultimately, business success comes down to how well the people who work for that business perform, according to Jeanet Wade, the ForbesBooks author of “The Human Team: So, You Created a Team But People Showed Up! ” And employee performance, good or bad, usually can be traced to leadership – whether company leaders want to admit it or not, she said.

“When teams break down and employees disengage, leaders and managers typically don’t question their own strategies,” Wade, founder of the consulting firm the Business Alchemist, said.

“Instead, they blame the people assigned to carry out those strategies.

If they are feeling charitable, leaders and managers say those people were bad fits. If they aren’t feeling charitable, they call them whiners, complainers or failures.

“But in about 80% of cases, I believe it’s not that the people are the wrong people for the job, but rather that leaders aren’t prepared to handle what I call ‘human moments’ because they fail to understand and address these natural human needs,” she said.

Wade said there are six facets of human needs that leaders must take into account to expect teams to perform at the highest level possible.

Clarity In too many workplaces, Wade said, people are unsure what’s expected of them or how their jobs fit into a larger plan.

“People on teams sorely need clarity, or they’ll lapse into confusion,” she said. “Specifically, team members must understand the purpose of the team itself, their role within it, the team’s outcome goals and how their team fits within the larger organization.”

Connection Human connection is indispensable to healthy teams and is premised on connection to common core values, physical place and a larger company culture, Wade said. The trick is in creating those connections. Wade suggested one way is an exercise she refers to as 3-2-1. People in a group were asked to share three events they’ve experienced, how they responded to them and how those events impacted them. Then they shared two childhood stories or coming-of-age adolescent memories. Finally, they shared one of their biggest fears.

Contribution Wade said teams within an

organization should never exceed 15 people, and leadership teams should be even smaller.

The reason: The larger the team, the less inclined individuals are to contribute.

“One of the best things we can do as leaders is acknowledge the human psyche’s need to contribute and to reward it,” she said.

Challenge Leaders and managers often are hesitant to challenge others, Wade said, not wanting to push people or make them uncomfortable.

“But when we withhold opportunities that challenge people, we ultimately deny others an important human need,” she said. “The trick is to make sure challenges are productive. They should be difficult, but not so overwhelming that people withdraw if they fall short. ” Consideration Everyone feels the need to be recognized and valued, Wade said.

Unfortunately, leaders and managers often spend so much time on toxic or poor-performing people that they neglect everyone else.

“You can’t obtain and retain top talent if you don’t show them respect and consideration at every stage of the journey,” Wade said. “They must be recognized for good work, thought about for promotions and reminded of how critical they are to the organization.”

Confidence Confidence is fragile and can be easily shaken, Wade said, which is why it’s critical for leaders instill confidence in their teams. People fearful about failing become hesitant, avoid difficult challenges and are less productive.

“But if you have confidence, even the hard stuff doesn’t seem so daunting,” Wade said. “When leaders, managers or facilitators help build confidence in their teams, they can inspire others to achieve audacious, improbable goals.”

“When all six of these facets are fully accounted for in teams, people are able to gel with one another, operate harmoniously, engage in healthy disagreement, and achieve important objectives,” she said.

ferred word among business owners while trying to survive the COVID-19 pandemic,” Webb said.

“For many companies now, it’s pivot or die.

“Resilience and the ability to pivot go hand in hand. Resilience is the key ingredient of success and the thing that will never let you down. And it is also about looking at different paths and taking one, acknowledging you were wrong, learning how to fix it, and doing so,” he said.

Webb offered five tips to help entrepreneurs be resilient and pivot in these challenging times.

Hope for the upside, but plan for the downside.

“In business, it’s easy to let a vision of great things ahead trick you into ignoring the real possibility of failure,” Webb said. “Every entrepreneur does it. Every great business has more than one plan.

COVID has weeded out those businesses that never planned for the downside. ” Let go when your gut tells you to.

Webb said that the business world moves too fast and leaves too many behind for a struggling entrepreneur to stay stuck in their ineffective ways for long.

“You have to trust your instincts and learn when to step away,

and to find another path,” Webb said. “Rather than beat your head against a stone wall, find a way around, over, or under that wall and continue on the new path of your choosing. ” Dive in the deep end – even if you’ re not fully ready.

Webb has met many people in business and in life who trust the philosophy that your next move should be the one for which you’re already prepared. He disagreed.

“Pursue your next path regardless of your level of preparation,” he said. “Be decisive. Be confident in the fact that if you’re smart and focused, you’ll learn faster when you’re in over your head or out of your depth. ” Learn the powers of contingency management.

Entrepreneurs sometimes get overwhelmed by adversity because they are too controlling by nature, Webb said. Empowering people as a regular practice and overseeing a collaborative work culture leads to calm and problem-solving when difficulties surface.

“Manage the situation, but don’t rule it,” Webb said. “Care for your people, but don’t set them up for failure by micromanaging them.

Hold them accountable but don’t be a dictator. Being resilient as a company and pivoting the right

way can only happen if there is mutual trust and a comfort level between the business owner and his workforce. ” See every closing door as a new one opening.

Webb said when things aren’t working as they once did, entrepreneurs need a mindset that embraces a challenge and is excited by finding a new way to make things better.

“I have found that the most important lessons in life are the ones you don’t see coming, and they bring opportunities you hadn’t considered,” he said. “When a new opportunity presents itself as a better way, take the risk.

“Resilience doesn’t just get back up,” Webb said. “Resilience finds a way. ” James Webb is the author of “Redneck Resilience: A Country Boy’s Journey To Prosperity. ” His career in radiology saw him rise from a technologist to becoming a leader in the industry as the entrepreneur of several companies.

The path to business success? Treat employees as assets, not expenses FLORENCE, Ala. – Any number of factors can cause businesses to struggle: a lack of working capital, poor planning and/or ineffective management.

But one factor that always affects business performance is employee engagement and the degree to which employees feel valued by their company, according to Bill Lyons, the ForbesBooks author of “We Are HR: The Business Owner’s Definitive Guide to Professional Employer Organizations. ” “Your company’s profitability depends on its people – and you want your team to be composed of the brightest and the best,” Lyons, who also is the CEO of Lyons HR, one of the largest privately held Professional Employer Organizations in the country, said. “In this labor market, to recruit and retain the best people you have to first make your company a desirable and compelling place to work. ” It means offering attractive wage and benefit packages, along with a healthy workplace culture that keeps employees engaged and productive.

“Instead of seeing employees as an expense,” Lyons said. “Businesses need to view them as assets that help improve the bottom line. ” In his work, Lyons said he has learned that there are four pillars of profitability that are critical to business success, and all four in some way impact employees.

Payroll.

Employees expect the correct amount of money to arrive in their bank accounts on time and they want their information easily accessible online, Lyons said. It sounds basic, but businesses sometimes fail to make payroll, or they commit errors when deducting for things like

taxes and benefits withholdings.

“An employee’s paycheck is what enables them to meet life’s responsibilities, so payroll errors and omissions are not things that can be tolerated,” he said. mployee benefits If businesses don’t offer such benefits as health insurance or a retirement plan, the better employees will look elsewhere, Lyons said.

But smaller businesses usually are at a disadvantage when compared to larger competitors. For example, in 2018 about 85% of workers at businesses with 100 or more employees were offered a retirement plan. In contrast, just 53% of workers at businesses with fewer than 100 employees had such plans, according to a Department of Labor report.

The report said cost and regulatory complexities are factors discouraging small businesses from offering retirement plans.

Risk management.

Many small businesses have a certain level of risk baked into their business models, Lyons said.

“They may rely on heavy equipment, vehicles, machinery or other factors that can potentially threaten the safety of the workplace,” he said. “The question is: How effective is your risk management program?”

Often small businesses that have a clear exposure to employee injuries do not have any formalized risk management program in place.

“It’s important to prioritize and clearly communicate this risk management program so employees know the company views their safety as paramount,” Lyons said.

HR compliance.

A myriad employment laws and regulations have been passed through the years and businesses need to make sure they are in com-

pliance, Lyons said.

“The workplace is a melting pot of liability for employers,” he said.

“Are your hiring practices lawful?

What about your compensation plan, is it discriminatory? What about terminations, do you have all the bases covered? How do you determine when an employee deserves a promotion or a raise?”

It’s important to have an updated employee handbook that addresses all these issues along with current job descriptions that are compliant.

It makes things clearer for both management and employees, who like to know where they stand, he said.

“To truly drive employee performance, you also need to drive employee engagement – the emotional commitment that each individual team member has to their organization and its goals,” Lyons said.

“Healthy employee engagement means a person truly cares about their work and their company. It’s up to owners and managers to create an environment where everyone is allowed and encouraged to consistently produce their best work. ” Bill Lyons, the ForbesBooks author of “We Are HR: The Business Owner’s Definitive Guide to Professional Employer Organizations” is the CEO of Lyons HR, one of the largest privately held Professional Employer Organizations in the country. Lyons has more than three decades of experience and has helped hundreds of businesses drive performance, control HR and labor costs, increase profitability and mitigate employment liabilities. Before starting Lyons HR in 1995, he held positions in accounting and finance for both private and publicly held companies. For more information, visit http://www. lyonshr. com.

HOME & GARDEN

Keep mosquitoes out of your backyard oasis TEMECULA – The value of a retreat-like backyard was never more apparent than in 2020. Over the last year-plus, much of the world has been spending time at home as the coronavirus pandemic. People have looked for a respite from the pandemic, and many turned their attention to their own backyards to provide such an escape.

The online home remodeling platform Houzz reported a 58% annual increase in project leads for home professionals in June 2020. Contractors who specialize in outdoor spaces saw the biggest increase in demand. A revamped outdoor space can provide the perfect retreat for homeowners who want to get away from it all.

But one winged, unwelcome guest can quickly transform an oasis into an uninviting space.

Mosquitoes make their presence felt in many areas each summer.

These pesky, often hungry insects can carry disease, and their bites can be painful and itchy. Homeowners can try these three techniques to keep mosquitoes out of their backyards.

Remove standing water.

Standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, who don’t even need a lot of water to successfully breed. A daily walk around the property may uncover children’s toys, empty flower pots or other small receptacles that can collect water. Even clogged gutters can lead to the accumulation of a small amount of water, and that can be enough for mosquitoes to breed.

Remove these potential breeding grounds when you find them, and do so each day, as mosquitoes mature from eggs to nymphs in

roughly four days.

M ow regularly.

Mowing the lawn so the grass never gets too high is another way to make a backyard less hospitable to mosquitoes. The pest experts at Terminix said that mosquitoes seek tall grass to protect them from the elements, including wind and hot summer sun. Mowing enough so grass never gets too high in summer can make backyards less inviting to mosquitoes.

Plant with mosq uitoes in mind.

The home remodeling experts at HGTV said that plants can be part of homeowners’ strategy to repel mosquitoes. Various plants have mosquito-repellant qualities.

For example, bee balm releases a fragrance as it grows, and mosquitoes don’t like that fragrance.

Mosquito Awareness Week educates California residents about how to prevent mosquito-transmitted viruses SACRAMENTO – With stayat-home orders being lifted throughout California, mosquito experts encouraged residents to protect themselves from mosquito bites. As people spend more time outdoors and start traveling again, especially internationally, there is an even greater need to take precautions to prevent the spread of mosquito-transmitted diseases.

“With rising COVID vaccination rates, we are all anxious to safely spend time outside and start exploring after this spring,” Dr. Richard Pan, state Senator representing the Sacramento region, said. “ Mosquitoes can carry serious diseases such as West Nile virus, but we can keep ourselves and our neighborhoods safe by wearing EPA-registered insect repellent and removing all stagnant water around our homes. Please ‘Fight the Bite’ so we can enjoy our amazing California outdoors. ” West Nile virus, spread by Culex mosquitoes, is the most prevalent and serious mosquito-borne

disease in California. There is no human vaccine for West Nile virus, a disease which can cause debilitating cases of meningitis, encephalitis and death. In 2020, there were 231 human West Nile virus disease cases from 26 counties in California, including 11 human deaths. Since 2003, more than 7,000 human disease cases were reported including more than 300 deaths.

To raise awareness and educate Californians about the public health threat mosquitoes pose to communities, Mosquito Awareness Week is observed April 18-24.

“As the weather warms up and residents head outside, it’s important to protect yourself and your family from mosquito bites,” Truc Dever, president of the Mosquito and Vector Control Association of California, said. “Doing a weekly check around your yard and dumping and draining all standing water is an easy way to eliminate mosquitoes in your community.”

Climate change has facilitated

the spread of two invasive mosquito species, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, throughout the state and they are now in over 20 counties. Aedes mosquitoes can be an extreme nuisance and exploit small, previously unnoticed water sources, often living in people’s backyards and patios – areas where mosquito and vector control districts can’t easily inspect.

Invasive Aedes are vectors of Z ika, dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever and dog heartworm. Travelassociated cases of Z ika, dengue and chikungunya infections in California were lower in 2020 than in previous years due to pandemicrelated travel restrictions, but cases have the potential to rise with increased travel. There are no human vaccines for chikungunya and Z ika viruses, both of which are costly to treat and can have long-term health and financial consequences.

To help prevent mosquito bites, apply insect repellent containing Environmental Protection Agencyregistered active ingredients,

including DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR3535, to clothes and exposed skin according to label instructions. Repellents keep mosquitoes from biting.

It is important to follow EPA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for the safe use of repellents on children.

Dress in long sleeves and pants, especially if outside at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes that can spread West Nile virus are most active.

Install screens on windows and doors and keep them in good repair to keep mosquitoes out of your home.

Eliminate all sources of standing water on your property, including in flowerpots, old tires, buckets, pet dishes and trash cans. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in very small amounts of standing water.

Repair leaking faucets and broken sprinklers that can contribute to standing water around your home.

Clean rain gutters clogged with

leaves.

Report neglected swimming pools and day-biting mosquitoes to the local mosquito and vector control agency. Agency information can be found at http://www. mvcac.or g.

EDUCATION

Is now the time for a gap year?

TEMECULA – Uncertainty has reigned over many students for the last year-plus. As the COVID-19 virus spread across the globe, schools transitioned to virtual learning. Some did so full-time, while others offered hybrid learning plans that combined virtual learning with in-person instruction. Confronting that transition proved exhausting for parents and educators, but students also could not be blamed if they felt a little academic fatigue as they navigated learning during the pandemic.

Some students may have no choice but to carry on with their studies until schools return to more traditional, full-time classroom settings. But students about to graduate from high school or college may be wondering if now isn’t an ideal time to take a gap year. Others may be intrigued by gap years but not be entirely

certain what they are. The following information can help students determine if a gap year is right for them.

W hat is a gap year?

The Gap Year Association defines a gap year as ‘a semester or year of experiential learning, typically taken after high school and before career or post-secondary education, in order to deepen one’s practical, professional and personal awareness. ’ The GYA notes that no two gap years are alike, though the spirit of a gap year is to afford students a chance to expand their comfort zones and have a cross-cultural experience while ensuring they have the time to reflect on those experiences.

Do gap years derail students’ academic careers?

Parents might be concerned that a gap year will derail students’ academic careers by decreasing the likelihood that they will ulti-

mately return to school. However, the GYA said that 90% of students who take gap years enroll in a four-year institution within one year of completing their gap year.

It can quell some of the concerns parents and even students may have about taking a year off from school at a time when many of their peers may be moving forward with their educations.

W hat do students do during their gap years?

Though the GYA said that some space and time to explore the unknown is vital to a gap year, students who think a gap year may be right for them should know that such years are most effective when students engage themselves in activities designed to expand their horizons. Many students spend their gap years volunteering with a service organization while others may accept an internship to see what life in a given profession

may be like.

Students have had to confront many challenges during the pandemic. Recent grads experiencing

fatigue as a result of those challenges may find that now is the ideal time to take a gap year.

Spark scientific discovery at home

A llowing children to put science- based skills to the test at home can be both simple and fun.

Science influences many aspects of daily life in countless ways. It also helps shape the development of life skills from an early age. As children learn to communicate, think critically, make predictions and form opinions based on their observations, they are developing science skills that will last a lifetime.

Through its “Wonder of Science” initiative celebrating bringing innovation to kitchen tables for 100 years, Wonder bread is helping to support ongoing scientific learning for students across America. In partnership with http:// AdoptAClassroom.or g and Emily

Calandrelli, an American science communicator, MIT engineer and co-executive producer and host of “Emily’s Wonder Lab” on Netflix, the bread manufacturer is donating $100,000 to provide U.S . middle and high schools with supplies and equipment for science education and presenting an online series of science experiments for students.

Allowing children to put those science-based skills to the test at home can be both simple and fun. Whether you head outside to identify clouds and species of animals or work on crafts indoors, there are plenty of everyday learning scenarios that allow parents to get hands-on with their children’s education.

Bake together

Baking can be a fun and tasty way to introduce scientific experimentation by following a recipe to see how the ingredients react together – or with too much or too little of a certain ingredient – and testing the end product against the desired results. As recipes are mixed, heated and cooled, baking introduces a variety of chemical reactions, including water evaporation, caramelization, browning and more.

Start a garden One of the best ways to introduce children to a variety of plant species and the process through which they grow is to grow your own garden. Start by letting the children pick some plants or vegetables that germinate and produce a crop quickly such as carrots or petunias then choose a location to plant. Test and prepare the soil then plant your seeds and water as needed.

Conduct ex periments with everyday supplies Special tools and equipment aren’t necessary for discovering and fostering a love of science or

conducting your own experiments.

By using household items, you may already have on hand and following a few simple instructions from Calandrelli, you can create your own homemade rockets or inflate a balloon.

“Getting kids excited about science and interested in how it affects our lives every day is the best part of what I do,” Calandrelli said. “Joining Wonder bread to spread that message of wonder not just through my show but directly into classrooms is a fantastic opportunity. I can’t wait to share my love of science.”

Balloon on a Bottle Courtesy of Emily Calandrelli on behalf of Wonder bread Ingredients: • 2 tablespoons dry yeast • 1 tablespoon sugar • 2-3 tablespoons lukewarm water • 1 large mouth, glass pint bottle • 1 party balloon Directions: In cup, stir yeast, sugar and water. Using funnel, pour mixture

into bottle. Add more water as needed to push mixture through bottleneck.

Quickly stretch balloon over mouth of bottle.

Observe bubbles in yeast mixture and watch balloon inflate.

Inflation can take 10-30 minutes, depending on mixture. ffer escent ablet ocket Courtesy of Emily Calandrelli on behalf of Wonder bread Ingredients: • Film canister • Water • 1/2 effervescent antacid tablet • Plate • Watch or timer Directions: In film canister, add water until it’s one-quarter full.

Colleges extend test-optional practices TEMECULA – For upperclassmen, the prospect of graduation is never far from the mind. Graduation marks the culmination of years of hard work and dedication in the classroom.

Graduating involves various steps, and testing is part of that equation, particularly for people who are planning on attending colleges, universities or going on to pursue advanced degrees.

Standardized test requirements are slowly disappearing from schools’ criteria for admissions. The COVID-19 pandemic may have helped accelerate that disappearing act.

According to Edmit, an educational financial planning resource, the concept of a test-optional school is not new. Since the mid2000s, various universities have included test-optional clauses in their admissions policies. It means that students’ standardized test scores are not reviewed as part of the college application process.

The standardized tests that are normally part of admissions reviews include the SAT, which debuted in 1926, and the ACT, which has been around since 1959.

In lieu of COVID-related postponements or cancellations of standardized tests, a greater number of schools have announced they won’t require future applicants to submit test scores with their applications. While some are saying it is a temporary revision to the process, other schools are calling it a pilot program for the next few years.

Seventy-two percent of colleges and universities adopted test-optional policies for the 2021-2022 school year, and some schools are now extending that policy for the next one to two years, according to IvyWise, an educational consulting company. Some of the schools that have suspended the SAT and ACT requirements, at least for the time being, include Cornell

University, Penn State, Williams College, Amherst College, Boston College and Columbia University.

Many students have been hit hard by the pandemic and removing testing requirements means they do not have to face another challenge, especially in light of reduced testing capacities and a scarcity of test availability. The education and school resource Grown and Flown said a side effect of test-optional amendments at selective universities is that applications have increased. Harvard announced it received more than 57,000 applications for the college class of 2025, which marks a 42% increase from the previous year.

Schools modified admissions requirements in recent months, including removing standardized test scores from the equation.

Students should consult with the admissions department of schools to learn if their admissions requirements have been updated.

HEALTH

The test that ‘best measures fatigue’ Shelby Ramsey SPECIAL TO THE VILLAGE NEWS

Many medical conditions cause patients to feel significant, ongoing fatigue. In some cases, the fatigue is so profound that it is disabling and the individual can no longer perform everyday chores or the work they have depended on for their livelihood.

Workwell Foundation provides disability evaluations for individuals with fatigue-related illnesses.

The foundation focuses on research concerning the functional aspects of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome to understand of the biological basis for fatigue and post-exertional malaise. Bringing awareness and education to society is paramount in their mission, according to the foundation.

Staci Stevens, founder of Workwell Foundation, explained that patients come to Workwell “when they are so stressed; when their disability is on the line.”

Financial stress isn’t the only motivating factor, but is one of the hardest or most discouraging parts, she said. “(These individuals) are really, really sick and people don’t believe them,” Stevens said, who explained that Workwell provides functional evaluations, not diagnoses.

People who do not experience chronic fatigue have a hard time understanding that it truly is a “real” condition. B ringing awareness of this is paramount. Many doctors have alluded to patients that it “must be in their head,” without searching further to see what underlying cause may be causing the patient such problems.

For those wondering what

chronic fatigue syndrome does to the metabolic systems of patients, in the cardiopulmonary exercise test, the oxygen analyzer “actually measures every breathe you breathe out, so (Workwell) is measuring expired air,” Stevens said.

“Room air is 21% oxygen, the oxygen analyzer producing what the person is breathing in/out, the difference is what a patient) uses, and the pulsometer (placed) on the patient’s) finger” allows Workwell to know the amount of oxygen available in the blood.

The outcome? Workwell is finding out that for chronic fatigue syndrome patients “the oxygen is available; they just can’t use it, and so they) are finding low peak aerobic capacity.”

Most people are aware that nobody functions at 100% capacity of aerobic capacity. It would be unsustainable. The functional level is “where you can sustain activity” and it’s that measurable point that Workwell is “able to attach an oxygen consumption or oxygen cost to the point,” Stevens said.

For a majority of chronic fatigue syndrome patients, “Light (daily) activities are like running a sprint and running multiple sprints, and nobody can do 50 of those without cumulative fatigue and pain,” Stevens said.

Ultimately, patients are “living their lives over that threshold” and shifting earlier to anaerobic metabolism). For all means and purposes, “light daily activities” is defined as getting dressed, taking a shower and emptying the dishwasher, to name just a few.

Compare these activities and symptoms with an individual who does not have a chronic condition.

For a “healthy” person, exercise may feel challenging, perhaps

causing perspiration, in which case exceeding the anaerobic threshold.

But, the end result is “Wow, I feel good. I feel sore but I feel energized.” Chronic fatigue syndrome patients on the other hand experience a flurry of symptoms, both immediately and spanning several days to a week or more.

According to Stevens, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome “are very similar in that there is about a 70% overlap” between the two conditions. For all of Workwell’s purposes, the chronic illness a patient has is irrelevant. “What matters is – are they functionally impaired and what systems are problematic?”

Stevens said.

Post-exertional malaise “is that defining feature and a lot of fibromyalgia patients have that. What distinguishes the fibromyalgia from (chronic fatigue syndrome) often times is the pain overlay,” Stevens said.

Widespread body pain is common for fibromyalgia patients.

Stevens said the two most important questions that can define post-exertional malaise are: Do you have symptom flare-up after you overdo activities or exercise that can be emotional, physical, cognitive or sensory? and Does it last longer than 24 hours? “(If so,) patients are in this chronic inflammatory response that they can’t get out of,” she said.

“PEM has immediate short-term and long-term symptomology that pairs with the path of physiology. ” In day-to-day life, “fatigue” is a relatively common expressed symptom. In most cases, people are referring to a rather short-term experience. For example, hearing a colleague say, “I’m tired, it’s been a long week,” or an employee at a

Valley News/Courtesy photo

store say “I feel fatigued after three nights up with my sick baby.”

It’s important to note that shortterm fatigue is a very different experience from chronic fatigue syndrome.

Stevens explained chronic fatigue syndrome.

“This isn’t just fatigue; patients will describe it as bone-crushing; they can’t move; they feel like they are in quicksand; it’s this heaviness, it’s systemwide,” she said.

Stevens likened it to having the flu.

“And it’s just really managing the level of the flu,” she said. “And when you don’t manage it, the flu gets worse. And (the patients) just can’t function,” Stevens said. “One of the hallmark symptoms of ME/ CFS is patients never wake up feeling refreshed. No matter how much they rest; it doesn’t resolve. ” Headache is one of the symptoms of post-exertional malaise that appears in the two-to-four-day range.

“The neurological system and cardiopulmonary system tend to be involved two to four days later, and that’s where the headache, migraine, the sleep disturbances and the muscle and joint pain” start appearing as symptoms in a patient, Stevens said.

The initial onset post-exertional malaise symptoms after the cardiopulmonary exercise test include

“being out of breath, nausea, dizziness, brain fog, fatigue,” Stevens said.

The goal for management of post-exertional malaise is “identifying what is your first symptom of overdoing it, what is that first flare up, identify that, and then stop and rest, lay down,” Stevens said.

After performing the test, chronic fatigue syndrome patients have 18 different symptom categories, and those categories “change and amplify,” Stevens said.

Studies completed by the National Institutes of Health and Workwell have concluded that half of the patients who undergo the test are recovering within two to four days. As with any medical test or procedure, it is important for the patient to weigh the pros and cons and to consult with their health care professional.

Stevens offered some advice to all patients.

Improve your metabolism for overall health

Improvi ng one’ s metabolism will increase the number of calories they burn.

Debi Barnett Foli SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Metabolism is the process by which your body converts what you eat and drink into energy. Metabolism occurs around the clock, even when you are sleeping. In fact, the term used for what your body burns at rest is called resting metabolic rate and accounts for up to 50-75% of total calorie expenditure.

The brain, liver, kidneys and heart account for about half of the energy burned at rest, while fat, the digestive system, and especially the body’s muscles account for the rest. Energy needs for your body’s basic functions stay fairly consistent and aren’t easily changed.

Many people may blame their metabolism for weight gain, but it is rarely the case. There are ways to improve your metabolism which will increase the number of calories you burn. Take a closer look at a few.

Ex ercise If there is one thing that you have control over, it is the amount of physical activity you get. It is as simple as the more active you are, the more calories you burn.

Building more muscle with some strength training can be marginally helpful as well because muscle uses a lot more energy than fat while at rest. In fact, 10 pounds of muscle would burn 50 calories in a day spent at rest, while 10 pounds of fat would burn 20 calories.

Not only does exercise increase your metabolism, it is also beneficial for strengthening bones, improving coordination and balance.

If you don’t have the time to do 30 minutes a day of exercising, then try to enhance your daily activity by taking the stairs, parking further away so you have to walk more, doing housework and washing your car can provide extra movement.

Diet It is true that if you consume less calories than you burn, you lose weight; however, temporary

diets won’t work. First of all, crash dieting and yo-yo dieting will have negative effects on your metabolism. Your metabolism will actually slow down if you deprive your body of fuel from calories. You may lose weight at first, but most of the time these diets come to an end and when you go back to how you were eating before; the result usually ends up in weight gain because your overall metabolism has slowed.

Not only is weight gain the end result, by slowing down your metabolism during the dieting phase, you may deprive your body of critical nutrients which put stress on your immune system. Health experts said that long-term restrictive dieting can even be harmful to your heart, due to the loss of heart muscle from calorie-cutting.

A more strategic plan to increase or maintain your metabolism is to focus on a diet high in nutrients with adequate amounts of protein and fat for fuel. Protein has a higher thermic effect compared with fats and carbohydrates so it takes longer for your body to burn protein and absorb it.

Eggs, chicken, fish, nuts and red meat are good sources of protein.

Be sure to limit or avoid beef if the ferritin levels in your blood are too high. These levels can be tested by your doctor.

Get your nutrients from fresh vegetables with every meal. Fruits are also good to include in the diet, just be sure to not overeat fruit if you are diabetic since many fruits can be high in sugar. Fruits and vegetables are also high in water content. If you are even mildly dehydrated, your metabolism may slow down. So be sure you are drinking at least 64 ounces of water daily. If you are exercising or sweating a lot, you may need to increase your water intake.

Gut health Promising studies have shown that probiotics can change the way that bile acids are metabolized which means it could change how much fat the body is able to absorb.

Probiotics also help create nutrients

and vitamins for the body to use.

If your digestive system is not working properly, then absorption rates of fats, proteins and other foods you consume may not be occurring. It can lead to deficiencies and a slower rate of healing and repairing in the body. For many people, just changing the gut flora won’t help them lose weight or increase their metabolism.

However, if the actual cause of a person’s unhealthy gut flora is discovered, that ill health is what can be addressed. The factors that can change a person’s gut flora and affect the way that their digestive system works can include but is not limited to: a pro-inflammatory diet, alcohol, stress, lack of exercise, chronic antibiotic use, medications and more.

Sleep Proper sleep accompanied with a healthy diet helps maintain balance between metabolism and circadian rhythm. When your normal circadian rhythm is disrupted, normal cellular function can be disrupted, leading to illness and disease. It also helps explain why lack of rest or disruption of normal sleep patterns can increase hunger, leading to obesity-related illnesses and accelerated aging.

Studies have shown that sleep deprivation can alter the glucose metabolism and hormones involved in regulating metabolism, that is, decreased leptin levels and increased ghrelin levels. With increased ghrelin levels, appetite can increase, therefore making you feel hungry.

Get tested Is there a medical reason why your metabolism is slow? Many people jump to conclusions that their thyroid is to blame, that their hormones are imbalanced or that they have adrenal fatigue. If you just address one factor, however, you may miss the underlying cause and the bigger picture.

The best way to find out the actual cause of why your metabolism may have slowed down over the years is to get tested. The wide range of symptoms associated with poor metabolism can include, but are not limited to: weight gain, fatigue, poor memory, hair loss, depression, etc.

A comprehensive blood test and hair tissue mineral test will detect deficiencies and toxicities associated with the symptoms of poor metabolism along with other factors that can contribute.

Movie Review: ‘The Unholy’ No. 2 movie that has already fallen to No. 3.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan stars as Gerry Fenn, a disgraced reporter looking for a comeback. A story about cattle mutilation in rural Massachusetts proves fruitless, but he thinks he can salvage his career with a story about a bogus miracle involving a creepy tree and a creepier doll. He stays in town long enough to get in a car accident and witness an “actual miracle,” where deaf teenager Alice, played

by Cricket Brown, is suddenly able to hear, speak and even sing.

She becomes a faith healer, helping a deaf child walk for the first time and curing her priest uncle, played by William Sadler, of his emphysema.

People flock to Alice, especially when she interacts with the tree – her line of communication with “Mary,” presumably the Virgin.

And because Gerry was there at the beginning of her interactions, Alice grants him exclusive interview privileges. Sure, he has to contend with an annoying local bishop, played by Cary Elwes – Bob Garver SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Some time back I wrote about how Oscar season got pushed back a few months, which was why audiences were getting movies like “Nomadland” and “Judas and the Black Messiah” in February.

Now with “The Unholy,” it’s like January has come to April. January is typically the time of year when studios like to dump their lousy horror movies that couldn’t compete on Halloween. The film actually opened last Friday, Good

Friday, no doubt intentionally so the marketing team could blasphemously brag that it was opening “on the holiest day of the year.”

The idea was to cause controversy, but nobody cared about this movie enough to fight over it one way or the other. If anything the campaign backfired, because made it seem like the film was outdated by the time I saw it the very next day, and of course it’s a really lame duck now. But nothing wanted to open this weekend in the shadow of “Godzilla vs. Kong,” so I have to settle for reviewing last weekend’s

his accent unmistakably locked on “Boston gangster” – and a Vaticansanctioned miracle-disprover, played by Diogo Morgado, but for once he believes in the subject of his story. Or at least, he’s sure of the miraculous things he’s seen.

The circumstances may not be as pure as the Virgin Mary suddenly bestowing blessings on this small town.

Eh, it’s no secret that it is a horror movie, so why play coy?

There’s a malevolent creature at work named Mary, whose scheme is to get people to pledge their souls to what they think is the Virgin Mary, but is actually her.

It’s a plan I could see working – assuming that soul-pledging actually works that way – but she sabotages her own plan by letting Gerry and the priest know that something evil is afoot. She just has to keep popping up in nightmares and jump scares to make them suspicious.

Rarely do these scares accomplish anything besides filling the quota for an uninteresting horror movie.

Plus Mary has inconsistent lore and powers, meaning that the au-

dience never knows what equals danger and death with her. Despite the film’s title making her sound more consistent, the way this villain is written is quite hole-y indeed.

Morgan and Brown turn in better performances than the material deserves, and it’s fun to root against the obviously exploitative Elwes character. But “The Unholy” is too obsessed with the short-term goal of scaring audiences with pointless startles and laughable special effects rather than pulling off anything memorable. The movie wants to outrage people of faith, but it’s not worth an emotion as strong as outrage. And even if you’re not a person of faith, this movie isn’t worth your time or money. Try to see some leftover Oscar season stuff instead.

Grade: C“The Unholy” is rated PG-13 for violent content, terror and some strong language. Its running time is 99 minutes.

HS Football: Week Five comes to an end as sun sets on shortened season JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

The spring 2021 pandemic shortened high school football season.

Games were hindered by players with coronavirus flare-ups, some teams canceled the season before they even started, but as it all comes to an end, the most important thing is what was achieved in just a handful of games. The biggest drive was that players got to play, and of course, the class of 2021 athletes took hold of their last year of high school football.

High school sports were shut down for the better part of a year as the state, country and the world at large responded to the coronavirus pandemic. Many coaches, staff and administrators said they were worried about the lack of in-person connection with students. Nobody really knew if things were ever going to get back to some sort of normalcy. That situation was a tough deal for players and families, but many held out hope and were rewarded when news came that there would be some sort of season.

Despite no playoffs, no championship banners, per say, and no state bowl games, local teams can claim this season as a victory by just being on the field. Here are reported schedules/results from Week Five of southwest Riverside County high school football games that took place between April 15-17.

Thursday, April 15 Sunbelt League Orange Vista ( 3-1) 33, Hemet ( 1-3) 0 H i g h l i g h t s : Elijah Robinson threw two touchdown passes as the Coyotes ( 3 -1) won a nonleague game. Michael Carney scored on a 4 8 -yard run, and Johnny Zomalt returned a fumble for a touchdown to help Orange Vista grab the early lead. Javier Valdivia kicked a pair of field goals for the Coyotes.

Valley View ( 1-4) 17, Paloma Valley ( 1-2 ) 14 H i g h l i g h t s : Freshman D ylan Riley rushed for 2 6 3 yards on 4 7 carries and scored two touchdowns as the Eagles ( 1-4 ) won a Sunbelt League game. Andrew Herrera ic ed a -yard field goal for Valley View.

MSJC Baseball sweeps Antelope Valley in doubleheader JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

The Mt. San Jacinto College baseball team, which is comprised of quite a few recognizable former local high school names, did not think they would have a season this year. With the declining rate of positive COVID-19 cases, an increase in vaccinations and a tier system that has allowed for the return of sports, the Eagles played their first home games of 2021 last week, scoring 29 runs on 28 hits to sweep visiting Antelope Valley College 15-10 and 14-6. Ricky Nunez, who was coming off a five RBI day earlier in the week, had another huge day as he drove in nine more runs and collected six hits on the day, including a pair of homeruns.

In the first game of the day, Nunez hit for the cycle as he went

four for five with a single, double, triple and homerun, driving in six MSJC runs. Aaron Harper also had four hits in game one with a pair of singles to go along with a triple and a double, knocking in three runs. The Eagles blew open game one in the bottom of the third when they scored eight times to push their lead to 12-1. Antelope Valley would fight back scoring six runs in the top of the fourth inning to cut the lead to 12-7, but a pair of runs by MSJC in the bottom of the fourth, and another in the sixth, gave MSJC the win in the seveninning contest 15-10.

Patrick McDonald Jr. started game one on the mound and went three and two-thirds innings for the Eagles while also driving in a pair of runs at the plate. Jacob Covington earned the win on the bump, going two innings in relief and Robert Barrett got the save

with his one and a third innings, allowing no runs and no hits. Andrew Rivero, Ryan Grinnals, and Russell Mitchell each added an RBI in the win.

In game two, the MSJC offense went right back to work as Nunez hit a two-run homerun in the bottom of the first to set the tone. The Eagles would score seven runs in the bottom of the second inning to take early control of the game. Jaden Jones, Nunez and Rivero each drove in three runs a piece while McDonald drove in two. Harper and Grinnals also had an RBI in the victory.

MSJC pounded out 13 hits in the 14-6 win. Max Rangel got the start on the mound for MSJC in the second game and went four complete innings. Mitchell moved from left field to the mound in the fifth and went four innings of his own allowing just one run to earn

Best Friends Animal Society offers tips, resources for National Dog Bite Prevention Week LOS ANGELES The week of April 11-17 was National Dog Bite Prevention Week, and this year there are more reasons than ever to learn about preventing dog bites.

From high-profile “nipping incidents” in the news, to the realization that there may be millions of dogs and puppies in new homes since the beginning of the pandemic.

Over the past 13 months, increased household stress, isolation and lack of socialization have been hard on everyone, but they can have an especially detrimental effect on dogs.

Each year, more than 4.5 million people in the U. S. are bitten by dogs and more than 800,000 Americans require medical attention; sadly at least half of these are children. According to the AVMA, dogs are more likely to become aggressive when they are unsupervised, unneutered and not socially conditioned to live closely with people or other dogs. Appropriate socialization and training, which are critical parts of responsible pet ownership.

Best Friends Animal Society offered the following resources and tips about preventing dog bites.

Socialize your dog and make him a part of your family activities early on. Dogs also need to be socialized beyond your family and home; they need to be comfortable in the world.

This is more difficult, currently, but no less important.

Work with a certified trainer who can help you teach your dog appropriate behaviors in a humane, effective and ethical way. Training is available in person and online in most places.

Marissa Sunny, professional dog trainer and senior dog lifesaving specialist at Best Friends Animal Society, explained how the pandemic year has affected canine companions and how pet parents

should help dogs overcome the effects, whether they were with them pre-pandemic, or they are newly adopted or acquired.

“Isolation may make some dogs more fearful of the outside world, and more likely to react badly in new or unfamiliar situations,” she said. “Dogs operate using simple metrics for the world: Is it safe or unsafe? Dogs are incredibly skilled at picking up on patterns, therefore anything they haven’t been exposed to – like the outside world ever, or even just for a year, can come off as scary and ‘unsafe.’

It is important that as you begin socializing or re-socializing) your dog, you take it slow and make it a positive experience. Offer the dog treats, pets, and lots of reassurance to help make positive associations with new things. If your dog seems overwhelmed or anxious, stop, take a break and try again later. ” Spay or neuter your dog. Over a six-year period, 92% of all fatal attacks by dogs were by intact, unneutered dogs. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Association, intact, unneutered male dogs are also involved in 70% to 76% of reported dog bite incidents.

Read up on positive reinforcement training techniques and get your whole family involved. Make a game for the family of spotting and reinforcing desirable behavior in your dog.

Know your dog’s body language so you can anticipate possible reactions. Each dog is an individual and will express fear, aggression, stress or joy slightly differently.

Socialize your puppy or dog to children. Watch your puppy or dog as she plays with children; stop the play if the child or the dog gets too rough.

Provide lots of exercise for your dog through constructive play like fetch and/or frequent walks. Walks or hikes provide great exercise for you and your canine companion.

Regular activity not only gets rid of excess energy but reduces frustration levels in your pet Make sure that your dog has lots of human interaction every day. A happy dog is a good dog. As social animals, dogs thrive on social interaction and love to be a part of the family.

“Dogs can become more protective or begin to guard their people if they have spent all their time only with them for the past year and haven’t been exposed to people coming in and out of their space or interacting with their humans,” Sunny said. “Dogs are fearful of what they don’t know, or what doesn’t have that pattern of being ‘safe.” Many dogs who were acquired during the pandemic may have never seen new people enter the home or engage with their humans, so this will seem foreign and therefore scary to them. ” Avoid tethering, chaining or tying up your dog. Tethering removes a dog’s ability to flee and makes them feel vulnerable. According to a study by the Centers for Disease Control, tethered dogs are 2.8 times more likely to bite.

Never let your dog roam free. Besides the dangers to him, a roaming dog may become confused or frightened, leading to aggressive behavior.

Use caution when introducing your dog to new people, new dogs or new situations. Your goal is to provide the dog with a succession of happy experiences to improve social skills. After the past year, many situations will either be entirely new or seem new.

“If your dog is not used to meeting new people, introduce them one or two at a time and have them toss treats or a toy to the dog to create a positive association,” Sunny said.

“Consider having your dog on leash and away from guests when they enter so the dog can approach at their own pace. Ask guests to ignore the dog until the dog approaches them, so the dog feels safe to stay away if they would like to. Do small outings with your dog, like walks or hikes around other people to gauge their reaction before taking them to a busy location. I also recommend learning about canine body language so you can more accurately understand how your dog is feeling. ” If your dog’s behavior changes, for example, if it becomes irritable, take the dog to the vet for a checkup. Behavior changes can sometimes be a symptom of a medical problem.

“Even though dog training may look different right now, it’s more important than ever to train and socialize new dogs before restrictions are lifted and we are all out and about more,” Sunny said. “Since last year, some trainers have held outdoor, physically-distanced classes while others turned to virtual classes and sessions. In addition to training, I highly recommend safely socializing them with other dogs and people. Dogs who were adopted during the pandemic or dogs who were simply home with you all year are likely to be overwhelmed and/or fearful as they make their way back into crowded public spaces. ” With an estimated 97 million dogs living in U.S. households, millions of people – most of them children – are bitten by dogs every year. The majority of these bites, if not all, are preventable.

To keep children safe around dogs, Best Friends offered additional tips.

Teach your children that they should never tease or throw things at a dog.

Help children learn the proper ways to pet a dog and tell them not to pet strange dogs without asking permission.

Tell your children not to run, jump or scream around an unfamiliar dog.

Remind your children not to stare at a dog when interacting with the animal.

Tell your children not to climb on any dog, even the family dog.

Don’t allow children to play rough with your dog, as they can accidentally hurt the dog or encourage him to become mouthy.

Tell your children not to take things out of a dog’s mouth and to leave an eating dog alone.

Fast food for pooches: How to safely feed your pup if you’ve run out of food TEMECULA Healthy foods are essential for the well-being of companion animals. Many pet owners turn to premade foods because they are readily available and can fulfill nutrition requirements for pets.

But the convenience of premade foods has been compromised during the pandemic, when empty shelves have become the norm.

The pandemic has disrupted supply chains, slowed down shipping times and caused other interruptions. For some pet parents, this may mean that they are unable to get the dog foods they normally purchase before their existing

supply runs out. Because of that uncertainty, it pays to learn which items in the pantry and refrigerator can serve as substitutes when commercial dog foods are unavailable.

According to Dr. Korinn Saker, veterinarian and associate professor of nutrition with the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine, homemade meals should not be served to dogs for longer than five to seven days because they are not 100% nutritionally complete.

Even though many human foods are safe for dogs, pet owners may not be able to create complete and balanced blends that provide the

amount of protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals dogs need to stay healthy. Routinely feeding dogs human foods can lead to nutrient deficiencies over time.

The Dog People, a dog information resource powered by Rover. com, advised dog owners to aspire for a balance of lean protein and complex carbohydrates in homemade meals. Avoid excess sodium and fat, which can cause excessive thirst and stomach upset.

If you’re using canned meats, rinse off the product to get rid of excess sodium.

One of the easiest meals to put together on the spot is chicken and

rice. In fact, when dogs are experiencing stomach issues, vets often suggest a temporary diet of bland, boiled chicken and rice. Lean beef or rotisserie chicken with the skin and bones removed are additional options. Many dogs like salmon or other fish as well.

If there’s no rice, oats or plain cooked potatoes can suffice. Many vegetables, like carrots, corn and peas, also are safe for dogs. Eggs can be a great nutritional source when other proteins are unavailable.

When preparing meals, there are some foods to avoid, according to the Canine Journal: greasy,

‘If masks don’t work, why do surgeons wear them?’

Julie Reeder PUBLISHER

Dr. Jim Meehan, a surgeon who has performed over 10,000 surgeries wearing a mask recently did an op-ed where he explained the difference between surgeons wearing masks and the general public wearing masks for COVID-19.

“The premise that surgeons wearing masks serves as evidence that ‘masks must work to prevent viral transmission’ is a logical fallacy that I would classify as an argument of false equivalence, or comparing ‘apples to oranges,’”

Meehan said. “Although surgeons do wear masks to prevent their respiratory droplets from contaminating the surgical field and the exposed internal tissues of our surgical patients, that is about as far as the analogy extends. ” They also wear masks to prevent droplets or spray from getting on them.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently released their most recent systemic analysis confirming the same.

“Although mechanistic studies support the potential effect of hand hygiene or face masks, evidence from 14 randomized controlled trials of these measures did not support a substantial effect on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza. We similarly found limited evidence on the effectiveness of improved hygiene and environmental cleaning,” according to the CDC at https://wwwnc. cdc. gov/eid/ article/26/5/19-0994 article.

Did you catch that? Not only were masks not a substantial effect, neither was surface cleaning. Wow. “The COVID-19 pandemic is about viral transmission. Surgical and cloth masks do nothing to pre-

vent viral transmission,” Meehan said. “We should all realize by now that face masks have never been shown to prevent or protect against viral transmission, which is exactly why they have never been recommended for use during the seasonal flu outbreak, epidemics or previous pandemics.

“The failure of the scientific literature to support medical masks for influenza and all other viruses is also why Fauci, the U.S. surgeon general, the CDC, WHO and pretty much every infectious disease expert stated that wearing masks won’t prevent transmission of SARS CoV-2. Although the public health ‘authorities’ flipped, flopped and later changed their recommendations, the science did not change, nor did new science appear that supported the wearing of masks in public,” he said.

He explained that if a surgeon were sick, he would not perform surgery, knowing that the virus would not be stopped by the surgical mask.

The difference, according to Meehan, is that people wearing masks in public are breathing carbon dioxide and limiting arte-

rial oxygen. They are re-wearing masks and constantly touching them which more likely increases contamination and the transmission of disease. Surgeons are in meticulously sterile surgical suites equipped with heavy duty air exchange systems with increased oxygen, which limits the negative effects of masks on the surgeon and staff.

He said if nothing else, you should at least “reject the illogical anti-science recommendation to block only two of the three ports of entry for viral diseases. Masks only cover the mouth and nose. They do not protect the eyes. ” We have to continue to question public policy, especially when it just so clearly seems to go against science. Children have been unequivocally shown to not be affected and not be spreaders, yet we have 5-year-olds in school wearing masks and running on the playground, reducing their oxygen with masks. We have healthy people who aren’t sick being bullied and attacked because they aren’t wearing a mask when the science supports them.

Even when you look at the cities

like New York and Los Angeles that had strict lockdown measures and masking, they have fared far worse than the cities like Houston that did the opposite. After a year of data, Dr. Anthony Fauci flip flopped and now is wearing two masks, and even though he is vaccinated, he said we still need to wear masks.

Now we are being told we need to continue to get vaccinated and still wear masks, and if doctors and scientists who actually know what they are talking about report the opposite, they are censored by big tech companies who don’t practice the science. Is that facist?

A citywide prevalence study of almost 10 million people in Wuhan, China, found no evidence of asymptomatic transmission.

Coughing, which is a prominent symptom of COVID-19, may result in far more viral particles being shed than talking and breathing, so people with symptomatic infections are more contagious, irrespective of close contact.

So, go ahead and wear a clean mask, but let’s respect each other.

Bureau of Land Management and the United States Forest Service to restore the wild horses and burros of California to their legal areas throughout the state…”

These animals are an integral part of the West and our natural heritage. They need to be protected.

Assembly Republican Leader

Marie W aldron, R-Escondido, represents the 7 5th Assembly D istrict in the California Legislature, which includes the communities of Bonsall, Escondido, Fallbrook, idden Meadows, Pala, Palomar Mountain, Pauma Valley, ainbow, San Marcos, Temecula, Valley Center and Vista.

Protecting wild horses and burros

Assemblymember Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

This year, I am joining Assemblymember Luz Rivas, D-Arleta, to write Assembly Joint Resolution

5, to urge the federal government to place a roundup moratorium on the state’s free-roaming horses and burros.

Wild horses and burros can trace their North American origins way back, though current populations originated with more recent European settlement. From the 1600s to the early 1900s, California was an ideal habitat for hundreds of thousands of these magnificent animals.

In 1971, the United States Congress unanimously passed the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, currently celebrating it’s 50th year in law. The act declared that “wild free-roaming horses and burros are living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West … free-roaming horses and burros shall be protected from capture, branding, harassment or death; and to accomplish this

they are to be considered in the area where presently found, as an integral part of the natural system of the public lands. ” The U. S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management oversee management of wild horses and burros on public lands. Overpopulation concerns have led to frequent roundups, often conducted with helicopters that stampede the animals into enclosures. This practice is controversial since it can lead to injury or death for panicked animals. More humane management techniques including “reserve design” which incorporates buffer zones, natural and artificial barriers, adoption and other ways to establish long-term viable populations in sustainable habitats.

Did Polish jokes lead to mentality of overcaution Joe Naiman WRITER

Maybe the reason America has become so overcautious is the Polish jokes often told in the 1960s and 1970s.

The Polish joke was the predecessor of the blonde joke. The Polish jokes featured the alleged stupidity of Polish people. What some consider stupidity, others consider bravery against overwhelming odds, and it’s possible that the interpretation of Polish bravery as stupidity has discouraged Americans from acts of bravery and other risks.

An often-cited origin of the Polish joke is the German invasion of Poland in 1939. The Blitzkrieg utilized tanks to invade Poland.

The Polish soldiers confronted the tanks on horseback.

From another country’s perspective, it didn’t sound intelligent to confront a tank-based army with a horse-based army. From the perspective of defending one’s own country with whatever means were available rather than not defending against the invasion, it was incredibly brave. The Polish soldiers were more brave than stupid when they countered the Blitzkrieg with the only option they had.

Adolf Hitler’s invasion of Poland subjected that nation’s Jews to Hitler’s Final Solution policy of Jewish extermination. Many of Poland’s Jews died in concentration camps.

Mordechai Anielewicz was one of Poland’s Jews. He figured he could die in a concentration camp or die fighting the Germans. Anielewicz and his group smuggled weapons into the Warsaw Ghetto, and in April 1943, the group attacked German soldiers. The Jews who chose to die in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising rather than in concentration camps killed more than a dozen German soldiers and injured dozens more. Anielewicz died in the Warsaw Ghetto Upris-

ing rather than in a concentration camp, as did many other Jews who had lived in Warsaw. The Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto had little chance of defeating the Germans, but their chance of survival if they didn’t fight was worse.

Poland is close enough to Russia, which was called the Soviet Union during World War II, that the defeat of Hitler’s forces transitioned Poland from the policies of Adolf Hitler to the policies of Josef Stalin. The Jews were allowed to live under communism, but the practice of their religion was not accepted. The practice of the Christian religion was also not accepted when Poland was under Communist Party rule.

The factory town of Nowa Huta did not have a church. A cross was erected on a plot of land where a church had been planned, although the Communist government never provided permission for the church. Eventually the government called for a school to be built on that site and for the cross to be removed. On April 27, 1960, workers escorted by armed officers came to take down the cross. They arrived during the workday, so the women of Nowa Huta fended off the agents with brooms, bricks, bottles and shopping carts until the men ended their shifts.

Fending off armed government agents with brooms wasn’t a likely method to defeat those agents, but it provided enough time for better defense and after several days of conflict ending in about a dozen deaths, hundreds of arrests and lost jobs, the cross was allowed

to remain. In 1978, part of the cross was removed for a religious rather than a secular reason. Karol Wojtyla was the auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Krakow in 1960. He became Pope John Paul II in 1978, and a piece of the Nowa Huta cross was taken to the Vatican. On the 54th anniversary of the Nowa Huta defense, the former Krakow priest was canonized as St. John Paul II. Pope John Paul II had demonstrated bravery against Nazi and Communist governments, and the concept of the brave Polish priest becoming the leader of the Catholic church indicated that bravery rather than stupidity was valued. In the early years of his Papacy, other Poles dispelled the stereotype that labor union leaders were Communists. A Polish dockworkers union, called Solidarity in English-language references, stood up to the Communist government. Solidarity leader Lech Walesa reinformed the image of Polish bravery. The Poles had become well respected in America, and Hollywood’s focus on the aesthetics rather than the intelligence of blondes led to the replacement of the Polish joke.

Choosing bravery rather than capitulation when outmatched led to the image of Poles being stupid. It also led to the mentality that courage is stupid. Society’s mainstream has chosen capitulation over taking risks, and perhaps the Polish jokes were responsible for that attitude.

Man killed in big rig crash identified as 42-year-old BONSALL – The driver of a 2021 Dodge Charger who was killed during a collision with a big rig Thursday, April 15, on Interstate 15 southbound, north of Route 395, was identified a 42-year-old male from Baldwin Park, according to the CHP. His name was withheld pending notification to family.

The Dodge Charger was in the No. 3 lane. A 73-year-old male

from San Diego was driving a 2015 Freightliner tractor-trailer combination in the No. 4 lane.

Before the collision, the Dodge had been traveling erratically and at a high rate of speed. For reasons that are still under investigation, the driver of the Charger veered to the right from the No. 3 lane into the No. 4 lane. He collided and wedged underneath the back of the tractor-trailer.

Cal Fire Deer Springs responded to the accident. The California Highway Patrol, the North County Fire Department and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection also responded to the scene to assist all parties involved.

Unfortunately, the 42-year-old male was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the Freightliner was not injured.

The No. 4 lane was affected

from the time of the collision until approximately 12:46 p. m. as the scene was investigated.

The San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office was called to the scene around 9:30 a.m., but it was not immediately clear how many people were killed or injured in the crash.

A SigAlert shutting down the far right lane was issued at 10 a. m.

A second traffic accident oc-

curred at 10:20 a.m . Thursday on I-15 south of Route 76 in Bonsall that left two vehicles blocking the fast lane, according to North County Fire and the CHP. This incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the CHP Oceanside office at 760-643-3400.

California woman says Signs of recovery appear as she drowned children to California adds jobs for 2nd month protect them

In this April 14, 2021, file photo, Liliana Carrillo, right, appears with her representative, Deputy Public Defender Brandon Mata, during her arraignment in ern County Superior Court in Bakersfield. he a ers el

Stefanie Dazio THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A California woman admitted killing her three children, saying she hugged, kissed and apologized as she drowned her infant daughter and the girl’s 2-year-old and 3-year-old siblings Saturday, April 17, to save them from what she said would be a lifetime of sexual abuse.

In a jailhouse interview, Liliana Carrillo told KGET-TV that she wanted to “protect” her kids – 3-year-old Joanna Denton Carrillo, her 2-year-old brother Terry and 6-month-old sister Sierra – from their father amid a bitter custody battle.

Carrillo alleged that the father, her ex-boyfriend, is part of a sex trafficking ring that she claimed runs rampant in Porterville, a small city in central California where the family lived until the end of February.

The children’s father, Erik Denton, denied Carrillo’s allegations and wrote in court papers seeking custody that she is delusional and it was unsafe for their children to be around her. Carrillo has not yet been charged in the children’s deaths in Los Angeles, and the investigation remains ongoing.

“I drowned them,” she said in the Thursday interview inside a Kern County jail.

“I did it as softly, I don’t know how to explain it, but I hugged them and I kissed them and I was apologizing the whole time,” she said. “I loved my kids. ” Carrillo’s children were found dead Saturday by their maternal grandmother in her apartment in Los Angeles. Carrillo was arrested later that day in Tulare County, nearly 200 miles north.

“I know that I’m going to be in jail for the rest of my life. It’s something I’ve come to terms with,” she said in the TV interview.

Many of Carrillo’s behaviors and claims appear to be associated with altruistic filicide, or when a parent kills a child out of love to end real or imagined suffering.

An altruistic motive is when a parent is “thinking that it’s in the best interest of the child, to protect the child from a future that would be worse than death” and it’s among the most common motives associated with a successful insanity defense, according to Dr. Ren e Sorrentino, a Boston-based forensic psychiatrist.

Sorrentino, who has not treated Carrillo, said mothers in these situations often have delusional beliefs that their children will be put into sex-trafficking or sold into slavery and “killing the child is actually the lesser of the evil. ” Carrillo told the television station she had tried to kill herself, but her car had gotten stuck in a ditch and she had to steal someone else’s vehicle. She pleaded not guilty to carjacking-related charges during her arraignment Wednesday in Kern County.

The children’s deaths were pre-

alifornian ia

ceded by a hostile custody battle.

Denton wrote in court papers that Carrillo had become increasingly delusional and she refused to tell him where the children were. Carrillo, in turn, filed a restraining order against him and said Denton was an alcoholic who may have sexually abused their eldest child.

Denton did not respond to a Facebook message seeking comment on Friday.

“I am very concerned about my partner and want to get her the help she needs to recover from this mental break and to become stable.

I want her interactions with the children to be safe and healthy,” Denton said in the custody documents.

Carrillo, who wore a brown jail jumpsuit, had her arms shackled to her waist. There was a cast or bandage on her left arm. She cried several times during the nearly half-hour interview. She said she did not have an attorney, although a public defender had been appointed to represent her. The public defender’s office did not return a request for comment Friday.

Carrillo described herself in the interview as a “social justice warrior” who used to travel California advocating against human trafficking. She said she met the children’s father when she was his Uber driver.

Carrillo told the TV station that she had promised her children when they were born that she would protect them and did not want them to be further abused.

“I wish my kids were alive, yes,” she said. “Do I wish that I didn’t have to do that? Yes. But I prefer them not being tortured and abused on a regular basis for the rest of their lives. ” Sorrentino said mothers who kill their children out of altruistic motives will often say days later that they would do it again because they felt it was their only option.

Denton’s court filings tell of Carrillo’s post-partum depression following the birth of their middle child. In texts and social media posts, she said things like “I wish I never had kids” and threatened to kill herself.

Last February, the couple’s oldest daughter fell and landed on her groin area and later said it hurt, according to court documents.

Carrillo believed the pain was from Denton molesting her, which he denied, the documents said.

He said a doctor found no evidence of abuse, but Carrillo contended that the examination wasn’t thorough enough, the court documents said.

In her interview, Carrillo said she had dealt with depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress syndrome her entire life and had sought out a therapist for postpartum depression. She contended that it was Denton who posed a threat to the children.

Asked about her final message to her children, she replied: “I love you, and I’m sorry.”

California has added 119,600 new jobs in March. It’s the second straight month of growth following a year of enormous losses and inconsistent gains during the pandemic.

Adam Beam THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

California employers added 119,600 new jobs in March, the second straight month of growth following a topsy-turvy year of enormous losses and inconsistent gains during an unpredictable pandemic.

New unemployment claims, both for traditional employees and independent contractors, are at their lowest levels since the pandemic began more than a year ago.

Restaurants and hotels, which have weathered heavy losses during a year of stay-at-home orders, accounted for more than half of the 260,600 jobs added in the state since February. Experts said Friday that’s a sign the world’s fifth-largest economy is exiting the pandemic-induced recession and entering what is likely to be a prolonged recovery.

“This healthy job number heralds the beginning of the end of the pandemic,” Sung Won Sohn, a professor of finance and economics at Loyola Marymount University, said.

In San Diego County, the leisure and hospitality industry accounted for more than half of all new jobs in March. It included the 30 new hires at Blue Bridge Hospitality, which operates nine restaurants in the area. Owner David Spatafore said he has had to increase wages as much as 25% to attract employees, and he still needs to hire 40 more people.

“I think it’s going to be like the roaring 20s when it comes to this summer,” he said. “This is going to be one for the record books. We’ve got to be ready.”

But if historic patterns hold, it will likely be years before Cali-

fornia recovers the jobs lost during the pandemic. Before March 2020, California was riding a record wave of 10 consecutive years of job growth following the Great Recession. But the state lost 2. 7 million jobs in March and April 2020 after Gov. Gavin Newsom issued the nation’s first statewide stay-at-home order because of the coronavirus.

California has regained less than half of those jobs since then in a slow recovery interrupted by a surge of cases in December and January that prompted more layoffs. Even with gains in February and March, California’s 8.3% unemployment rate is tied for third-highest in the country. More than 1.5 million Californians who are looking for work still did not have jobs.

The difference now is more than 9.7 million people have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, with an average of 387,325 doses administered each day. Stadiums, theme parks and concert venues are welcoming back fans, resulting in more rehiring.

On average, just 1.7% of Californians tested for the virus actually have it, among the lowest rates in the nation. If the trend continues, Newsom said he will lift all virus restrictions, June 15.

“This state is ready to come back, come roaring back,” Newsom said Thursday during a news conference to announce all adults are now eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

The recovery is far from a sure thing. Just this week, California and other states stopped giving out doses of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine after federal regulators investigated reports of blood clots in six people. It’s

also unknown how the vaccines will hold up against variants of the virus.

But for now, signs point to the state continuing to add new jobs in the months ahead. The numbers for March were based on surveys the week of March 12. That was before relief payments and other aid for small businesses arrived in the bank accounts of California residents and employers.

“Today’s numbers, to me, are the first strong signs of the recovery,” Michael Bernick, a former director of the California Employment Development Department who is now an attorney with the Duane Morris law firm, said.

How those small businesses fare over the next few months will play heavily in the state’s recovery.

Newsom and the California Legislature have approved just over $2 billion in grants for small businesses. But they have yet to pass a law allowing small businesses to deduct expenses from forgivable federal loans from their state tax returns, which would collectively save them $2. 3 billion over the next five years.

California is one of the few states that hasn’t done it yet.

“Sacramento Democrats and Washington Democrats failed small-business owners in our state,” U.S. House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy and other California Republicans said in a letter to Newsom recently.

Toni Atkins, the president pro tempore of the California Senate, said Wednesday the Democraticcontrolled state Legislature “have not let go of the strong desire to bring that forward.”

“We probably will be able to take action on this as early as next week,” she said.

Riverside County’s jobless rate falls for third straight month City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Riverside County’s jobless rate dropped below 8% in March, on the heels of gains in almost every sector of the regional economy, according to figures released Friday, April 16, by the California Employment Development Department.

The unemployment rate in March, based on preliminary estimates, was 7.7%, compared to 8% in February, the EDD reported.

The March rate was exactly three percentage points higher than the year-ago level, when countywide unemployment stood at 4.7%. About 85,000 residents were out of work last month, and 1,029,800 were employed, according to the EDD.

March was the third consecutive month that the jobless rate declined, following a surge in claims in December connected to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s stay-athome order, which was rescinded toward the end of January.

Coachella had the highest unemployment rate countywide last month at 13.5%, followed

by Mecca at 12.1%, Winchester at 11.3%, East Hemet at 11%, Desert Hot Springs at 10.9%, and the unincorporated community of Highgrove at 10.8%.

The combined unemployment rate for Riverside and San Bernardino counties in March was also 7.7%, down from 8.1% in February, according to the EDD. Bi-county data indicated payrolls expanded by the widest

margin in the hospitality sector, which added 4,900 positions in March, with the transportation and warehousing sector posting the next-highest amount 4,100.

Additional gains were recorded in the agricultural, construction, information technology, public and professional services sectors, which altogether expanded by 2,800 positions.

Another 1,000 jobs were added in miscellaneous unclassified industries, while the financial services and manufacturing sectors were unchanged.

Only the health services sector registered a payroll decline, totaling 1,100 jobs.

The statewide non-seasonallyadjusted unemployment rate in March was 8.2%.

NASA’s Mars helicopter takes flight, 1st for another planet

NASA’s first black and white photo from Ingenuity appears, showing the helicopter’s shadow as it hovered above the surface of Mars.

Valley News/Courtesy photo

Marcia Dunn AP AEROSPACE WRITER

NASA’s experimental helicopter Ingenuity rose into the thin air above the dusty red surface of Mars Monday, April 19, achieving the first powered flight by an aircraft on another planet.

The triumph was hailed as a Wright brothers moment. The mini 4-pound helicopter even carried a bit of wing fabric from the Wright Flyer that made similar history at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in 1903.

It was a brief hop just 39 seconds and 10 feet – but accomplished all the major milestones.

“Goosebumps. It looks just the way we had tested,” project manager MiMi Aung said as she watched the flight video during a later briefing. “Absolutely beautiful flight. I don’t think I can ever stop watching it over and over again. ” Flight controllers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California declared success after receiving the data and images via the Perseverance rover. Ingenuity hitched a ride to Mars on Perseverance, clinging to the rover’s belly when

it touched down in an ancient river delta in February.

The $85 million helicopter demo was considered high risk, yet high reward.

Scientists cheered the news from around the world, even from space, and the White House offered its congratulations.

“A whole new way to explore the alien terrain in our solar system is now at our disposal,” Nottingham Trent University astronomer Daniel Brown said from England.

This first test flight with more to come by Ingenuity, the next as soon as Thursday – holds great promise, Brown said. Future helicopters could serve as scouts for rovers, and eventually astronauts, in difficult, dangerous places.

Ingenuity has provided a third dimension to planetary exploration and “freed us from the surface now forever,” JPL director Michael Watkins said.

Ground controllers had to wait more than three excruciating hours before learning whether the preprogrammed flight had succeeded 178 million miles away. The first attempt had been delayed a week because of a software error.

Police: 1 dead, officer wounded in Tennessee school shooting

Police face gunfire as they responded to reports of a possible gunman at Austin East Magnet High School in no ville, Tennessee, Monday, April 12, leaving one person dead and an officer wounded, authorities Valley News/AP photo said.

Travis Loller and Adrian Sainz THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Police faced gunfire as they responded to reports of a possible gunman at a Tennessee high school Monday, April 12, leaving one person dead and an officer wounded, authorities said.

No one else was killed or wounded at Austin-East Magnet High School in Knoxville, Tennessee, a city about 180 miles east of Nashville, police said. A male has been detained. Police said they responded to the school around 3:15 p. m. and when they encountered a male with a gun, shots were fired.

“Upon approach of the subject, shots were fired,” Knoxville Police Department posted on Facebook.

“A Knoxville police officer was struck at least one time and transported to the hospital with injuries that are not expected to be lifethreatening. ” Speaking from outside a hospital, Mayor Indya Kincannon told WATE-TV that she spoke with the wounded officer and that he was conscious and in good spirits.

The police post said a male died at the school, which is not far from the city’s zoo and Interstate 40. A map of the neighborhood shows the school is in a residential area near some churches.

Three students from Austin-East Magnet High School have been shot to death away from the campus less than three weeks apart this year, police said. Administrators have said students felt the arts magnet school was a safe space, according to a story in the Knoxville News Sentinel.

State Rep. Sam McKenzie, who represents the district and went to the school, said in a statement, “I am at a loss to describe my sadness

as yet another horrific act of gun violence has happened in my community,” urging the community to “reclaim the sanctity of our beloved neighborhood. ” “This is the fourth unnecessary shooting involving the Austin East community this year and we must make sure we take every step and make every effort to prevent these tragedies from continuing to occur,” McKenzie said.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said it was sending agents to the school.

Gov. Bill Lee mentioned the shooting at a news conference but said he had little information.

“I just wanted to make reference to that and ask, for those who are watching, online or otherwise, to pray for that situation and for the families and the victims that might be affected by that in our state,” he said.

Last week, the Republican governor signed legislation that will make Tennessee the latest state to allow most adults 21 and older to carry handguns – openly or concealed.

The law, which does not apply to long guns, will take effect July 1. The new measure also increases certain penalties. For example, theft of a firearm now a misdemeanor that carries a 30-day sentence – will become a felony with a mandatory six-month incarceration. It also makes exceptions for people with certain mental illnesses and criminal convictions.

When asked earlier this year whether recent mass shootings in Georgia, Colorado and others gave him any concern about timing, Lee has previously said the increased penalties mean that “we in fact will be strengthening laws that would help prevent gun crimes in the future. ”

When the news finally came, the operations center filled with applause, cheers and laughter. More followed when the first black and white photo from Ingenuity appeared, showing the helicopter’s shadow as it hovered above the surface of Mars.

“The shadow of greatness, #MarsHelicopter first flight on another world complete,” NASA astronaut Victor Glover tweeted from the International Space Station.

Next came stunning color video of the copter’s clean landing, taken

by Perseverance, “the best host little Ingenuity could ever hope for,” Aung said in thanking everyone.

The helicopter hovered for 30 seconds at its intended altitude of 10 feet, and spent 39 seconds airborne, more than three times longer than the first successful flight of the Wright Flyer, which lasted a mere 12 seconds, Dec. 17, 1903.

To accomplish it, the helicopter’s twin, counter-rotating rotor blades needed to spin at 2,500 revolutions per minute five times faster than on Earth. With an atmosphere just 1% the density of Earth’s, engineers had to build a helicopter light enough – with blades spinning fast enough – to generate this otherworldly lift. The Martian wind was relatively gentle Monday: between 4 mph and 14 mph.

More than six years in the making, Ingenuity is just 19 inches tall, a spindly four-legged chopper. Its fuselage, containing all the batteries, heaters and sensors, is the size of a tissue box. The carbon-fiber, foam-filled rotors are the biggest pieces: Each pair stretches 4 feet tip to tip.

Ingenuity also had to be sturdy enough to withstand the Martian wind and is topped with a solar panel for recharging the batteries, crucial for surviving the minus-130 degrees F Martian nights.

NASA chose a flat, relatively rock-free patch for Ingenuity’s airfield. Following Monday’s success, NASA named the area for the Wright brothers.

“While these two iconic moments in aviation history may be separated by time and . . . million miles of space, they now will forever be linked,” Thomas Curburchen, NASA’s science missions chief, announced.

The little chopper with a giant job attracted attention from the moment it launched with Perseverance in July 2020. Even actor and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger joined in the fun, rooting for Ingenuity over the weekend.

“Get to the chopper! ” he shouted in a tweeted video, a line from his 1987 sci-fi film “Predator.”

Up to five increasingly ambitious flights are planned, and they could lead the way to a fleet of Martian drones in decades to come, providing aerial views, transporting packages and serving as lookouts for human crews. On Earth, the technology could enable helicopters to reach new heights, doing things like more easily navigating the Himalayas.

Ingenuity’s team has until the beginning of May to complete the test flights so that the rover can get on with its main mission: collecting rock samples that could hold evidence of past Martian life, for return to Earth a decade from now.

The team plans to test the helicopter’s limits, possibly even wrecking the craft, leaving it to rest in place forever, having sent its data back home.

Until then, Perseverance will keep tabs on Ingenuity. Flight engineers affectionately call them Percy and Ginny.

“Big sister’s watching,” Elsa Jensen, the rover’s lead camera operator from Malin Space Science Systems, said. he Associated Press ealth and Science D epartment receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical I nstitute’ s D epartment of Science Education. he AP is solely responsible for all content.

FAITH

How God uses the powerful word ‘If’ hair, that’s when it happens. You hear your mother’s voice from across the room, “If you touch that one more time…”

The word wielded such power that she often didn’t have to even finish the sentence. You just knew that what came after that was not good. It stopped you in your tracks.

As impressive as your mother might have been at using this profound two-letter word, you should know that she got it from God. And if you think she’s good at using it, take a look at these verses and see the master at work.

Here’s how God uses the powerful word “if. ” I f you listen In Exodus 15:26, he said, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all His decrees, then I will not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the Lord who heals you. ”

Zachary Elliott SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Mothers know. In fact, they’ve always known. There is tremendous power in the word “if. ” I don’t know if any other word has so instantaneously changed the course of a child’s life than that word. Chances are you’ve lived it.

That moment you’re about to take that toy off the shelf, grab another piece of candy or pull your sister’s

I f you don’ t listen In Leviticus 26:14-16, “However, if you do not listen to me or obey all these commands, and if you break my covenant by rejecting my decrees, treating my regulations with contempt, and refusing to obey my commands, I will punish you.

I f you declare In Romans 10:9-10, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ” I f you forgive and if you don’ t In Matthew 6:14-15, “If you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. ” I f you sin In 1 John 2:1, “My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father.

He is Jesus Christ, the one who is

truly righteous. ” I f the Son sets you free In John 8:36, “If the Son sets you free, you are truly free.”

I f you seek Him In 1 Chronicles 28:9, “Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. For the Lord sees every heart and knows every plan and thought. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. ” I f the world hates you In John 15:18-19, “If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you. ” I f you have faith without action In James 2:17, “Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. ” I f you love In John 13:35, “By this every-

one will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

I f you don’ t give up In Galatians 6:9, “Let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. ” I f you are in Christ In 2 Corinthians 5:17, “If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here. ” Think it over: What if you started following Jesus with your whole heart?

Verse of the Day: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness,” in 1 John 1:9.

How families can give back to their communities together TEMECULA Strong communities are built by strong people who recognize the importance of giving back. Children recognize when their parents give back to their communities, and often that recognition compels youngsters to want to do the same.

Volunteering as a family is a great way for parents to instill their values in their youngsters while strengthening the communities in which those children live. Volunteering also provides a host of additional, potentially surprising benefits. For example,

a 2003 study from researchers at the University of Texas found that taking part in helping one’s community lowers rates of depression and anxiety. In addition, research has indicated that adolescents who volunteer may perform better at school and take a more positive approach to education.

Family-friendly volunteering opportunities abound, and the following are some ways that families can give back together.

Feed the hungry.

The role of charitable organizations that feed those in need was

It may be painful to think about your funeral, but it doesn’t have to be painful to pay for it.

highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. The economic fallout of the pandemic was significant, as tens of millions of people lost their jobs and, subsequently, their ability to feed themselves and their families. Local food banks stepped in to feed those families, and organizations are always in need of volunteers to help prepare, deliver and serve food. Volunteering at a local food bank or soup kitchen is a great way for parents to show their children that they have a lot to be thankful for while instilling in them a sense of responsibility to community members in need.

Create art.

Art can be as beneficial to its creators as it is for those who appreciate it. That’s especially so for children in relation to their development. According to a report from Americans for the Arts, art education strengthens problemsolving and critical thinking skills.

Art also encourages children to innovate, a benefit that will pay dividends throughout their lives. Art also is fun to create, and parents can turn children’s natural inclination toward fun and creativity into a way to give back to their communities. The New

Jersey-based organization Color A Smile distributes cheerful drawings to senior citizens and overseas troops, among others. Adults and children can volunteer to bring smiles to the faces of strangers, all the while reaping the many benefits of engaging in art projects.

Attend a nature cleanup.

Local park and beach cleanups help to keep the great outdoors pristine and pollution-free. Such

cleanups, which are a fun way to get outdoors, also provide a great opportunity for parents to teach children about the environment and the importance of protecting it.

Whether it’s helping those in need, exploring one’s inner artist or helping keep local parks and beaches clean, the opportunities for families to give back together are numerous.

Collision between gravel truck, pickup blocks Highway 371 City News Service SPECIAL TO ANZA VALLEY OUTLOOK

A collision involving a gravel hauler and a pickup truck partially blocked Highway 371 west of Anza in the afternoon Wednesday, April 14, but no injuries were reported.

The crash occurred at 2:20 p.m . on the northbound side of the twolane highway, near Lake Riverside Drive, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The gravel truck, which was hauling a trailer, and the Chevrolet Silverado pickup collided, leaving

the pickup facing the wrong way in the northbound lane. The gravel truck coasted to the shoulder of the roadway.

Damage to the gravel truck triggered a leak of hydraulic fluid, requiring a cleanup operation, according to reports from the scene.

CHP officers diverted traffic around the wreckage, using the southbound lane going in both directions at the site of the collision.

As of 3 p.m . that day, half the highway remained closed at the location. The cleanup was expected to be finished by 4 p.m.

Chair Boundless offers home hospital equipment donation program Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

Chair Boundless’s Home Hospital Equipment Donation Program is serving needy residents in the Anza Valley.

Wheelchairs, walkers, shower chairs, bedside commodes, crutches and more are available for anyone in need.

“There is no cost; however, we do appreciate any donations,” Mike Patke of Chair Boundless Self Defense said. “We are a 501 c) 3) nonprofit and will gladly provide a receipt for tax purposes. ” The organization recently accepted the donation of a 24-foot container given by Jill Holt of Anza. Terry Phillips moved the container to its present location, where it has been put to use as secure storage for the large collection of medical equipment.

“We accept donated hospital equipment, such as hospital beds, wheelchairs, walkers, bedside commodes, etc. One of the first things that we needed was a shipping storage container to warehouse the donated equipment,”

Patke said.

Patke’s Chair Boundless – Freedom through Mobility is a martial arts program for those using wheelchairs and is designed to empower people with “handicaps” to become “handicapable. ” The play on words is meant to show how effective the self-defense lessons can be, he said. Patke has taught his unique classes all across California and beyond.

“I have been teaching for almost 50 years,” he said.

Patke has been featured in the World of Martial Arts magazine, discussing his passion for self-defense and his many accomplishments. The self-defense classes teach valuable skills and participants go away with a better understanding of the power they hold to defend themselves.

To learn more about the programs Patke offers, visit him at http://www. facebook. com/chairboundselfdefense/ or call or text Patke at 951-333-9149.

Riverside County sheri ’s deputies eradicated this large greenhouse of illegally cultivated cannabis plants in Anza.

Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

Personnel from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife served eight marijuana cultivation related search warrants Wednesday, April 14.

The eight separate residences and properties were located in the unincorporated area of Anza and included the 38300 block of Alessandro Road; a parcel of land near Old Camanche Trail and Bautista Canyon Road; the 52800 block of Browns Rocky Road; another parcel of land near Browns Rocky Road and Woodview Road; the 51900 block of Browns Rocky Road; the 39000 block of Indian Road; and a yet another parcel of land near Indian Road and Springs Trail and a parcel of land near Indian Road and Springs Trail.

During the searches, approximately 19,916 marijuana plants were eradicated and 1,015 pounds of processed marijuana was collected, for a combined weight of over 2 tons of cannabis.

Three firearms two rifles and one handgun – were also collected in evidence, deputies said.

No subjects were located at the properties during the service of the search warrants. A follow-up investigation is being conducted to identify the subjects responsible for the illegal marijuana cultivation.

The goal was to keep all citizens safe while also improving the quality of life for those residing within the community, according to the county sheriff’s department.

Illegal marijuana cultivation continues to be an issue in the Anza Valley and surrounding communities. Marijuana cultivation impacts the environment in many ways, including diminishing and poisoning the water table. Pesticides used in the cultivation of cannabis can affect the health of neighboring residents. The Riverside County

How to combat social isolation Family Features SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Even before COVID-19 limited social contact with friends, family and colleagues, many adults experienced loneliness and depression due to limited contact with others.

Now, a year after the pandemic forced many people into even greater levels of isolation, the issue of social isolation is especially prevalent in Americans over the age of 50, according to surveys.

Despite the physical implications of a pandemic, research shows the mental health stakes are high, too. A nationwide survey, commissioned by Barclays, found that half of Americans over the age of 50 said the isolation from their friends and family has been more challenging than concerns over health risks they may face.

Social isolation provided plenty of time for Americans to reflect on their priorities. The majority of Americans surveyed, or 90%, have reevaluated their post age-50 goals and put spending more time with family at the top of their lists. In fact, the most common first thing 50-plus Americans will do once COVID-19 is over at 41% is to see

and spend time with their families.

“While restrictions are beginning to ease, many older adults are still isolated from friends and family, and that takes a toll on their mental well-being” Lisa Marsh Ryerson, president of the AARP Foundation, said. “We must do all we can to help older adults, who have suffered greatly during COVID-19, strengthen the social connections that are so essential to their ability to lead longer, healthier lives.”

For example, AARP Foundation’s Connect2Affect platform equips older adults with the tools they need to stay physically and mentally healthy and connected to their communities. The AARP Essential Rewards Mastercard from Barclays is helping fund the foundation’s work to increase social connection with donations based on new accounts and eligible purchases, up to $1 million annually.

A little creativity and a commitment to filling time productively can help reduce the strain of being alone until it’s safer to resume social activities.

U se technology to connect with loved ones.

Video chats and traditional

One way to fill your free time, and reap some positive energy, is to e plore a new hobby or skill.

phone calls can help you feel connected even when you can’t be

together in person. While a drop-in call can be fun, consider arranging regular visits with children and grandchildren. If you schedule calls throughout the week, you’ll have something regular to look forward to and can benefit from a check-in that affirms everyone is healthy and safe, AAARP said.

M ake time for physical activity.

Staying closer to home may mean you’re not getting the exercise you once did, but it’s important for your health to stay active.

Regularly using your muscles helps keep your body strong, and even light physical activity a few times each week can help keep your cardiovascular system fit for better heart health. Regular exercise can also provide a range of positive mental health outcomes, including reduced stress, anxiety and depression and improved memory.

Volunteer in your community or consider virtual volunteering.

Helping others is a way to

release feel-good endorphins for yourself. While your limited social calendar may afford you some extra time, inquire with local nonprofits about how you can contribute to their causes. Especially as funding for charitable organizations has dropped, volunteers are still essential to most nonprofit organizations, whether the help comes in person or virtually. Even from a distance, you may be able to help with tasks like making calls to donors, assisting with mailings or planning fundraising campaigns.

Learn a new hobby or skill.

Another way to fill your free time, and reap some positive energy, is to explore a new hobby or skill. The personal satisfaction of learning and focusing your mental energy on something that interests you can help offset the disappointment of being away from those you love.

The Biden-Harris gun control plan violates the Constitution

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

Since gun control legislation has stymied in Congress, with Democrats for it and the Republicans against, the Biden-Harris administration has opted to legislate by executive order. Biden has governed, bypassing Congress, with 39 executive orders in almost three months. In an April 7, news conference, he revealed his plans to do the same with gun control.

It is not new. The Obama-Biden administration did the same thing over immigration by creating the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program by executive order because Congress would not give them authority to extend citizenship to people who are living in the country illegally. They justified defying Congress and the Constitution with the argument that “We can’t wait for Congress. ” It was a serious, even impeach-

able, breach of the separation of powers doctrine deeply imbedded in the Constitution as is Biden’s executive action that the Justice Department, an unelected body, propose new rules on gun control.

Because one president defies the Constitution and is unpunished does not give authority for others to do the same. Constitutionally, only the legislative branch can make laws. Why is this breach so dangerous? Past practice, once done, is the “go to” position, to maximize authority not actually in the Constitution or, in the Second Amendment case is opposite to it and is the favored option for those wishing to destroy it. Constitutional perversion invites more constitutional perversion.

But at issue is a far greater violation of the Constitution than separation of powers. The Second Amendment specifically forbids either the executive, by presidential decree or legislative, by congressional statute, branches from any alterations of the amendment. It reads in part, “the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” Period. It is the most definitive sentence in the Constitution. Although not yet exercised, it also is an impeachable offense. Neither Congress nor the president can remove or alter the peoples’ right to defend themselves without a new amendment to the Constitution as per Article V. The first half of the Second Amendment tells why no branch of the federal government can alter or remove the right of the people

to keep and bear arms: “A wellregulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state.” The militia was the people, and it was understood that the government was always the lead threat to a free state.

“I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them,” according to George Mason, co-author of the Second Amendment. See also Elliot, Vol. 3, June 16, 1788. The militia was defined in the Second Continental Congress as every able-bodied male 17 years of age and older – the citizens.

The Bill of Rights was numbered in order of preference with the exception of Amendments 9 and 10 as they dealt with the powers retained by the people and those reserved to the states, not specific freedoms as are Amendments 1-8. The Second Amendment is important because it protects these amendments. It is well to remember that the Second Amendment exists because the states would not support the new Constitution without a guarantee that the government could never deprive its citizens of their right to bear arms – to resist as they had the British. The language was as strong as they could make it and aimed specifically at government.

It preserved their right of revolution should their other freedoms be taken. What is it President Joe Biden that you do not understand about “shall not be infringed?”

Congress may not legislate

the Second Amendment away by authorizing some types of weapons over others or approving some types of ammunition and denying others. Nor may the president go into the Oval Office and unilaterally make an executive order limiting or denying these things. We must never forget the federal government’s 11-day siege of Randy Weaver’s mountain home near Ruby Ridge, Idaho, over Weaver’s sale of two sawed off shotguns. It ended Aug. 31, 1992, with multiple deaths, including his son and dog, and a sniper bullet took out his wife Vicki, holding their baby in her arms, in the doorway. A “friendly” reminder of federal enforcement of unconstitutional alterations to the Second Amendment.

People might argue that they now want federal involvement.

If so, why not do it as required by the Constitution? Don’t just twist the Constitution to mean something never meant. George Washington warned: “Let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed” in his “Farewell Address.”

Instructions for change in the Constitution are provided in Article V and can be proposed by either Congress or “on the application of the legislatures of twothirds of several states. ” Notice that the president was not allowed to propose. Once proposed, the federal government is removed

from the picture altogether – it cannot empower itself. The states are given two ways in which they can pass their power to the federal government. Remember, all power not listed in the Constitution belongs to the states and the people as per Amendment 10. But, either way, it requires three-fourths of the states to do so. Let Congress or the states initiate a proposed amendment to empower the federal government as it has 17 times before when the nation wanted a change.

The federal government, especially the president, does not like Article V because it requires permission from the states to enlarge federal jurisdiction. It is precisely why this article exists; still, it remains the proper and only constitutional way to change the Second Amendment of the Constitution and anyone trying to do it in any other way should be removed from power as quickly as the Constitution allows. The biggest fatality in this gun debate is irreparable damage to the Constitution, and thus to freedom.
