Court rules Hemet City Council seat once held by Joe Males annulled; Hearing May 27 Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

A Riverside County Superior Court Judge has ruled that Hemet resident Joe Males’ position as a Hemet City Council member be annulled, leaving the position possibly open after May 27.

The minute order annulling his election followed a ruling that Males was not eligible to run for the District 4 seat because he did not live in the area as of the last filing date.

Males admitted he had rented a home in the district but had yet to move into it before filing as a candidate for the open district seat in the court case. The case was heard

by Riverside Superior Court Judge Craig Riemer.

It was decided earlier by the judge that Males was not legally able to run for the seat by city regulations. There are city rules saying a candidate must be a resident in the district and live in the city for a certain amount of time.

But what should be done about it was held until this week. This week, by minute order, Riemer said his election was annulled, Priscilla Madrid, attorney for the

plaintiff said. She represented Kenneth Graff as the plaintiff.

Graff argued that Males, because of the residency issue. Should not have run in the election and took it to court.

The minute order in case number CVSW2001682, Graff vs.

Males, written by Riemer reads in part: “Based on the defendant’s offer of proof, the court found that Mr. Males was not a resident of District 4 when nomination papers were issued to him on July 20, 2020. In light of that finding, both sides agreed that no evidence need be offered on the other grounds alleged in the statement of contest. Counsel argued issues of the consequences of a lack of residency, and the remedy that was appropriate given the results of the election. Issues of the consequences of lack of residency are taken under submission.”

It continues: “Court subsequently rules on: 03/16/ 2021 for Court Trial - Long Cause.

Graff’s election contest is granted. The election by which Males assumed the Office is annulled and set aside. see SEAT, page A-4

A Riverside County Superior Court Judge in a minute order ruled that Hemet resident Joe Males’ position as representative for 4th District on the Hemet City Council and Mayor Pro Tem be annulled.

In the 1970s, Old Town Temecula was a rundown, has-been of a town bypassed by Interstate 15.

It had started as “the new town of Temecula” in 1882 when the California Southern brought railroad tracks this way. It replaced the Temecula of old at today’s Vail Headquarters.

Temecula City Councilwoman asks, ‘When is enough, enough?’

Julie Reeder PUBLISHER

A Temecula city council meeting April 13 has garnered attention at the regional, national and international level, as well as late night TV. There was very little drama during the meeting, but the controversy afterward centered around Councilwoman Jessica Alexander, who in the last 10 minutes of a three hour meeting drew a parallel between being forced to wear masks in order to meet in person and Rosa Parks deciding to stand up and sit in the front of the bus during a discussion to return to in person meetings after more than a year of virtual meetings brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Look at Rosa Parks, she was accommodated at the back of the bus, but she finally took a stand and moved to the front because she knew that wasn’t lawful, it wasn’t true, so she took a stand,” Alexander said.

“At what point in time do we? I’m getting accommodated in my office and getting pushed to the back of the bus, I’m telling you, that’s what I feel like. I’m getting pushed to the

back of the bus. At what point in time do I come out, stand up and say I’ve had enough? When is enough, enough? When is enough, enough?

That’s just where I stand.”

Alexander said the council was provided with research showing mask wearing is ineffective against the COVID-19 virus, questioning the mandate, but rather than highlight the science behind the research she was singled out and chastised for her comments at the local, regional and national level.

The discussion, led by Mayor MaryAnn Edwards, centered around mask wearing. Two council members, Alexander and James “Stew” Stewart, have medical exemptions and voiced opposition to mandated masks and shields.

Staff presented options for returning to in person meetings including masks plus face shields, or if they couldn’t wear a mask and a shield, there was a clear plastic helmet or dome-type option that went around the entire head with fabric at the bottom draping on the shoulders and chest to not allow any particles to escape at the top or bottom. Because it was perceived as still restricting

oxygen and only allowed the wearer to breathe their own carbon dioxide, it wasn’t an acceptable option for those with medical exemptions, though.

The tone and input from everyone was measured, professional and reasonable.

Councilman James “Stew” Stewart raised a disposable blue and white mask calling it ineffective and said he wasn’t willing to wear what he called a “space helmet” that would limit his fresh breathing. City attorney Peter Thorson said the human resources person would work with him to find a helmet or something that would work for him. He talked about how wearing a mask, even incorrectly, somehow makes people feel more comfortable and that doesn’t make sense.

There were dozens of speakers during the meeting that were supportive of Alexander. Alexander herself is a former New York Police Department officer and a Marine Corps veteran. Stewart, who owns a small business, was supportive but there were also negative comments.

According to Alexander, she sees virtual meetings as a violation of her

right to represent her constituents in city council meetings face to face with the other council members as well. She spent some time explaining that a lot is lost by not having meetings in person, something that Mayor Pro Tem Matt Rahn agreed with.

It’s not traditional but it’s effective, Mayor Pro Tem Matt Rahn, who spoke as a scientist, said. Rahn shared that he spent a fair amount of time giving a well thought out defense of the guidelines and said that precautionary measures should be taken. He encouraged people to continue to follow those guidelines as they do with seat belts laws, medical screening recommendations, use of smoke alarms, earthquake building codes and bicycle helmets.

He pointed out how none of those guidelines were perfect, but they did reduce risk.

Rahn then talked about belief systems related to measures and how important it was for them to listen to each other.

“People need to be heard and believe they have some agency,” he said. He talked about how national public messaging had been a failure, how it became confusing and political.

When managing public health, the population is the patient, not the individual,” Rahn said.

Edwards agreed that the science contradicted itself many times and then it all became political.

Alexander wanted clarity, asking, “Come June, how long is that going to last? Will we stand up and say ‘OK were back in session,’ but then what happens? When September rolls around ... [will] we have to be back in masks?”

“When is enough, enough? When is it to the point where they are going to stop telling us what to do with a virus that has a 99.94 to 100% recovery rate according to the CDC in October? When are we going to stop? I mean if we want to say, “Hey

Zac Schwank reiterated that he felt they just needed to follow the guidelines.

“This isn’t about just doing what we want. We have to follow the guidelines,” Schwank said. “At the end of the day as elected officials, we have to follow the guidelines.”

The meeting ended with a 4-1 vote to keep the meeting by Zoom until after June 15, at which time the matter would be addressed again and a decision made. There is an expectation that the state will be fully open with little to no restrictions by that time.

Publisher’s note: While Alexander’s comments have met with controversy, there has been a large movement of doctors and scientists in addition to the CDC that have published research relating to the ineffectiveness of most masks, and that it’s even possibly unhealthy for younger people to wear masks for more than short periods of time.

Box truck driver charged with murder, crash victim identified

Temecula City Councilwoman Jessica Alexander.

Garret Gabriel Caouette died in a fatal car accident Thursday April 22. He was happy to be on his way back to school when he was rear-ended by a truck while stopped in traffic, family said.

Valley News/ C ou r t esy p h ot o

TEMECULA – Kevin May, 47, of Fontana, the driver of the box truck who was directly behind a Prius and failed to slow down, April 22, caused a collision that killed a young man.

He has been charged with alleged murder and gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated.

The young man has not officially been identified, however, a Gofundme.com page that has been set up by the family of Garret Gabriel Caouette, 18, identified him as the young man from Murrieta who died in the crash.

According to the Gofundme page, “Garret Gabriel Caouette passed away in a fatal car accident Thursday, April 22. He was happy to be on his way back to school when he was rear-ended by a truck while stopped in traffic. Garret had just turned 18 on April 2 and was accepted into Cal State Channel Islands to pursue a degree in Ecology with a focus in marine biology. He enjoyed nature and adventure through his many experiences in hiking the national parks, zip lining, river rafting and had just started the process to become scubacertified. He had interest in games and appreciated how they brought his friends and family closer. Garret’s other passions were reflected in his involvement with athletics, competing in cross country, basketball and track and field. Garret, along with his teammates, did not always reflect his success on the scoreboard. However, they understood that the game was about more than winning and losing.

It was clear that Garret appraised himself and others on what really matters – character – rather than other worldly things we all get caught

up in. It was without doubt that his involvement in church provided him with the excellent life compass he used for himself. His worldly success naturally followed doing things like running three miles in a little over 19 minutes. He was a fast kid whose life should not have ended so quickly. He was the kid who would offer to cook breakfast for his young nephew and did not have to be asked to help clean up after dinner out of love and respect for his parents. He was the brother whose goofiness and quirkiness would always put a smile on your face.”

Kevin May’s vehicle collided into the Toyota’s rear end, according to CHP spokesperson Officer Mike Lassig.

May, who was hauling furniture, is suspected of driving under the influence of drugs, Lassig said. He was hospitalized with moderate injuries at Inland Valley Medical Center and has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, the officer continued.

The crash happened about 12:30 p.m. on southbound I-15 between Overland Drive and Rancho California Road, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Lassig said all of the vehicles were in the slow lane when a tractor-trailer driven by a 47-year-old Bloomington woman slowed for traffic, and the victim, driving a 2015 Toyota Prius, braked behind the big rig.

“The box truck and Toyota became engulfed in flames,” he said. The driver of the Prius, who was not immediately identified, was unable to escape the inferno and perished in the sedan, according to the CHP spokesman.

May bailed out of his truck, suffering moderate injuries, and was taken to Inland Valley Regional Medical Center in Wildomar. The big rig driver was not hurt, and the semi truck did not burn, Lassig said.

Murrieta Fire & Rescue and Riverside County Fire Department crews reached the location within a few minutes and knocked down the blaze just before 1 p.m.

CHP officers shut down three of four southbound lanes to facilitate first responders and clear the wreckage. A SigAlert was issued at 12:55 p.m. for both sides of I-15 due to major traffic congestion stemming from the crash.

Michelle’s Place expands services for cancer survivors and thrivers

Michelle’s Place Cancer Resource Center in Temecula has completed phase one of its expansion project and the next phase is currently under construction.

protocols at the center that the hospital was instructed to use. Although support groups and classes have been held virtually, in person meetings are expected to resume in June.

Gerrish, who was the center’s first employee, is grateful for all the volunteers that give their time in a variety of ways, from greeting visitors to assisting them at each step of their journey. She said in the past 20 years of operation, the center has served more than 13,000 cancer patients with more than 100,000 free resources.

Hundreds of donors have contributed to the cause with financial

An open house was held April 29 for the staff and volunteers at Michelle’s Place Cancer Resource Center in Temecula to show what can be accomplished with support and love from the community. The completion of the first phase at 41669 Winchester Road in Temecula, is just the beginning of an expansion of not only space, but resources.

Since 2001, Michelle’s Place has offered those diagnosed with cancer a place to connect with others who are on the same journey by supplying free nonmedical outlets, classes, support groups and items such as wigs, prostheses, hats and scarves.

The nonprofit organization relies on donors, grants and fundraising efforts to provide its free programs and services to clients.

Michelle’s Place Cancer Resource Center was created as a dying wish of Michelle Watson, a 26-year-old victim of breast cancer. As a Temecula resident, Watson was frustrated with the lack of local resources available to her while facing the challenges of cancer treatment. Her vision of helping others with cancer served as the inspiration to open Michelle’s Place and assist those walking a similar path.

The first Michelle’s Place shared space with a church office in Murrieta and its second location was a small resource center that offered one support group, a lending library and a few nonmedical items. A third location on Jefferson Avenue was the center’s 1,700 square foot home for 10 years as it continued as a breast cancer resource center.

When the nonprofit moved into a small area of the newly purchased building while construction began in November 2018, it started serving patients and families with all types of cancer. In its first year there, Michelle’s Place served 42 different types of cancer and quickly recognized the need to expand further.

“After years of helping breast cancer patients and providing wigs to anyone who needs one, cancer patients of all kinds started asking us for resources,” Executive Director Kim Gerrish said. “We knew we would have to open our center up to all cancers eventually. When we moved to our new location, we thought it was the perfect time to do that.”

Once completed, the center will have 10,000-plus sq. ft. of space to allow many more cancer patients and their families the ability to receive the practical and psycho-social cancer support services they need. Gerrish said it will be the region’s only cancer resource center.

Phase one is about 8,000 square feet and took two years to build since it was just a shell when it was purchased. Phase two’s 2,500 square feet is currently under construction and expected to be completed this summer. About half of the needed $150,000 has been raised. Phase three will include a remodel of the existing bathrooms and completion of the kitchen and tranquility room where staff, volunteers and clients can go to unplug.

The new center includes dedicated space for offices, callers, fitting rooms, storage, expressive art, reiki and a child’s corner. Mercedes Ruiz is one of five patient navigators who now have private offices to meet with clients they work with from diagnosis on.

Volunteer Mary Ponce, herself a survivor and a thriver, said being able to offer clients comfort items such as blankets and knit caps is very rewarding as she recalls how cold the chemotherapy rooms were.

“We try to find them what they are looking for,” volunteer Sandy Frazen said. “Doctors ask for what their patients need – such as a compression or surgical bra – and if we don’t have it, we try to find it.”

Christina Lindley conducts reiki therapy sessions and said even when

they had to be done virtually, she was able to feel the energy over the phone and help clients. However, she is looking forward to having in person sessions in a room that is earmarked for reiki.

“These sessions are not just for patients, but for caregivers too; they go through a lot of stress,” Lindley said.

Michelle’s Place was considered an essential service and continued providing services throughout the pandemic. Board president Renee Fininis, who is a Chief Nursing Officer at Kaiser Permanente in Moreno Valley, was able to duplicate safety

and in-kind donations, including $350,000 from the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians to help the organization purchase the building. In addition to legacy room naming opportunities still available to donors, there are many other ways to support the center, including its annual Walk of Hope May 23.

From 8 a.m. to noon, participants will walk through wine country at the 53-acre California Ranch Company, 34520 De Portola Road in Temecula.

The route will be an unpaved 1.5 mile walk along horse trails with vendors, giveaways and snacks

available at the end.

Michelle Watson’s aunt, Kathie Taylor, said she was speechless after taking a tour of the new center.

“We expected (Michelle’s Place) to be a small lending library with computer access but thanks to the residents of Temecula Valley, we have this – it makes me very emotional,” Taylor said. “We started with $150 to get going (in 2001) and because the community supported us, we have this wonderful resource center.”

Valley highway and freeway updates from RCTC and Caltrans Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Highway 60 from Beaumont to Moreno Valley closed the westbound lanes from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. to allow Riverside County Transportation Commission crews to complete drainage operations.

People were using Interstate 10 as a detour during the closures.

This week, crews will continue working on the State Route 60 truck lanes. However, construction activity is ongoing and subject to change, due to weather and other factors.

The 60 Truck Lanes Project is widening a 4.5-mile section of Route 60 for new truck lanes. The project lies within mountainous terrain with a curving alignment and steep grades. The project is designed to improve safety and reduce traffic congestion. The new

lanes are now 60% complete with some already being used and all are expected to open in summer 2022.

Caltrans is working with contractors to add median strips on Florida Ave. (Highway 74) that has caused some traffic tie-ups from Warren Road into Winchester this past week. The project is adding median strips and some widening from Warren Road to Interstate 215 in the Menifee/Perris area.

The project recently completed work on medians from Mountain Avenue in Valle Vista, through Hemet to Warren Road.

Caltrans continues work on a $28 million project to replace the No. 3 and No. 4 lanes on Interstate 15 (I-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.

May 7 and May 8, the I-15 will have two of four lanes closed from Temecula Parkway to Rainbow Valley Road. Friday from 10 p.m. to Saturday at 6 a.m. the northbound I-15 will have three of four lanes closed from Rainbow Valley Road to Temecula Parkway.

Caltrans I-10 Tune Up project from Beaumont to Route 111 in Palm Springs is continuing with motorists cautioned to watch out for workers. Caltrans is replacing pavement on the freeway. Follow @Caltrans8 and visit www. i10TuneUp.com for more information.

Motorists are warned by the CHP that any traffic violations in the construction zones may lead to the doubling of fines and to be careful of the men working on the highways.

Granite Construction crews work on a median strip being constructed from Warren Road in Hemet to the Interstate 215 in Menifee on Highway 74. The construction crew from Granite working in front of Panorama Cove Mobile Home Park is one of many crews working on V a l l e y N e w s/ To n y Au l t p h o t o the CalTrans multimillion dollar project.

Community Development Director H.P. Kang explained in the

work study session that currently the city has no food truck regulations in the city and sought the council’s advice on creating an ordinance that does allow and regulate the food trucks in the

share the details as they come in. It is a very trying time and all I want to do is better our city and that alone takes time.” He continues with a list of his and the council’s progress in the city including terminating the city attorney for major billings, a priority session, a good positive city manager review, helping in the city trash cleanup and establishing a blight and graffiti ad hoc (council) and resident committee and cannabis regulations for the city.

He adds, “Until the judgement (sic) is issued, and even after, no matter the outcome, my dedication and perseverance to all the citizens of Hemet will remain.”

Madrid said Males had already submitted his resignation, after

the court finding. If that were the case after final judgement the council would be Mayor Karlee Meyer and councilmembers Russ Brown, Malcolm Lilienthal and Linda Krupa. It is the council’s decision, or by another election, who would be sitting in Males’ seat for the remainder of the term. “The council could appoint someone,” Madrid said.

Graff was a former council candidate for District 4 and held the a large vote in the November election.

Madrid said it was also learned that the water for Males’ rental residence in District 4 had not been turned on until well after the filing date and its extension, supporting Graff’s case.

WORLD-CLASS EXPERTISE

city. Food trucks outside of special events are not allowed in the city at this time, but food truck owners are seeking their approval to operate. Food trucks are regulated by Riverside County and state health codes in the other cities and the county. The discussion also was about the permitted street vendors already regulated in the city.

Kang went through a list of things that would allow the trucks to operate in the city legally and safely paying attention to public and private property rights and other food businesses. The council, reviewed some of the items to be discussed and asked the staff to return with a proposed ordinance to allow the trucks under specified conditions and make amendments to the street vendor regulations.

The city’s proposed cannabis ordinance first reading was also reviewed and recommended amendments heard that ended with the amendments tentative approval that would further limit where the cannabis can be operated and under what conditions. The amendments will be returned to the city council for a second reading with the amendments attached and at that time be amended.

In other business the council sought to accept the third round of Community Development Block Grant funding (CDBG-CV) funding, which the city received $535,773 allocated to four subrecipients. The was allocated by the Trump administration but the city needed to place it in a public hearing before its acceptance and for an ad hoc committee to decide which community organization would accept it. Councilman Russ Brown and Councilwoman Linda Krupa were appointed to help reestablish the committee for

acceptance.

A public hearing is being posted for June 8 so the decision can be sent to HUD (Housing and Urban Development). The substantial amendment to the plan will be submitted to HUD no later than June 11 for final approval.

A COVID-19 update was given, stating the county had been moved to the orange tier, and was able to allow retail businesses to increase capacity to 100% indoors; places of worship, movie theaters, restaurants, museums, zoos and aquariums may increase indoor capacity to 50% with modifications; and indoor meetings may reach capacities up to 150 if all guests are tested or fully vaccinated. Hemet Unified School District also began offering hybrid classes combining in-person and online instruction.

On April 13, the vaccination clinic located at Tahquitz High School was closed and moved to Alessandro High School. In concert with the county, city staff disseminated information regarding the County’s cessation of Johnson & Johnson vaccines. All scheduled patients were given Pfizer vaccines in the alternative. Vaccines also became available to all individuals 18 and older. Interested parties may visit www.rivcoph.org/covid19-vaccine to register.

The city council and staff encouraged the community to take advantage of the local testing bus in front of the Hemet Public Library by making a profile at www. lhi.care/start and getting tested at the library while it is available.

The city’s website and social media pages continue to be monitored for questions and updated information on the COVID-19 pandemic.

Roripaugh Ranch sports park changes name Joe Naiman WRITER

Roripaugh Ranch Community Sports Park is now the Sports Ranch at Sommers Bend.

The Temecula City Council voted 5-0 Tuesday, April 13, to approve the name change. The park is not yet completed, and planned signage with the park’s new name was also approved by the city council although subsequent changes to the signage will not require city council approval.

The Sommers Bend development was originally Phase Two of the Roripaugh Ranch project.

Sommers Bend is expected to include 1,325 new residences.

Groundbreaking on Sommers

Bend took place in October 2018.

Construction on the sports park began in late 2020.

The sports park will encompass 21.3 acres of Sommers Bend. The amenities include baseball fields, soccer fields, basketball courts, playground equipment, structural foundations, lighting and a parking lot. The park will also have landscaping, and water quality measures will be incorporated.

The Sports Ranch at Sommers Bend will be completed near the end of 2021. The city will take over ownership and management of the park after its completion.

Temecula City Council approves Ronald Reagan Sports Park restroom expansion Joe Naiman WRITER

The Temecula City Council approved the restroom expansion and renovation project at Ronald Reagan Sports Park.

The city council’s 5-0 vote, April 13, approved the plans and specifications for the sports park, authorized the county’s Department of Public Works to solicit bids for a construction contract and found that the replacement of reconstruction of

existing facilities is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review.

“That’s been a long time coming,” Temecula mayor Maryann Edwards said.

The project will involve the design, fabrication, delivery and installation of a pre-fabricated restroom building which will replace the existing facility. The existing facility will be demolished and the surrounding sidewalks will also be taken out. The replacement building will have eight

unisex single-stall restrooms, a concession facility and a storage area.

The project will also involve rerouting and upgrading utilities, grading the site, reconfiguring and restriping the parking lot, concrete work, installing pedestrian access ramps meeting Americans with Disabilities Act standards, landscaping, irrigation and relocating the existing flagpole and lighting.

“This really is desperately needed,” Edwards said.

Bob Morris, who died in November 2018, is the designer of much of Old Town Temecula’s rustic charm, including the arches at the north and south ends of Old Town Front Street, the medallions at the corners of Main and Front streets, the former Butterfield Square and more.

Valley News/ S h ane G i b son p h ot o

MORRIS f r om p ag e A - 1 were built along Pujol and Mercedes streets. By 1885, the Temecula post office that had formerly been in the Wolf Store had a new location on Main Street.

With the advent of motorized vehicles, the north to south thoroughfare called Front Street was paved in 1918 and became part of California state Highway 395.

A motorist traveling between San Bernardino and San Diego could find restaurants, gasoline and lodging options along the stretch of highway through Temecula.

As automobiles and trucks became the backbones for transportation, railroads became relics of the past. The Temecula Depot was closed in 1935, the rails were dismantled and the train no longer came to Temecula.

After I-15 bypassed Old Town, the area fell into disrepair and only folks who had a reason to stop came into Temecula. John Bianchi, who created the Frontier Museum on Jefferson Avenue, called Temecula “the town that time forgot.” The area, an island of land that was not owned by the Vail Cattle Company from 1905 until the company sold in 1964, was the only place available for homes or businesses.

A man named Bob Morris came to town on horseback while on a De Anza Trail ride in 1969 and fell in love with the place that he saw was wide-open with possibilities.

He bought land and met up with Tommy Hotchkiss who owned the Swing Inn restaurant. The two of them came up with a plan to breathe new life into the area. They decided to campaign for others in Old Town to adapt an 1890s look to make Temecula a destination for visitors. Building facades were changed, starting with the Swing Inn and a new charm filled the area. It started looking more like the cowboy town it once was.

Temecula benefited from Morris’s compulsion to salvage discarded architectural pieces and to design new and usable structures from their interesting parts. This habit is apparent in his De Luz home which is now for sale and in the structures he built in Old Town. Morris savored not just the beauty of the rustic pieces, but also the stories the pieces told of places demolished and barely remembered.

When he described the various components put into his signature piece, Butterfield Square, they were so numerous I could barely record them. He made roof embellishments from the wood crates that carried the Palomar telescope lenses up the mountain. Embossed metal ceilings were from the Alberhill post office. Wood was repurposed from the Hemet Stock Farm and an old Vail barn.

Windows came from old buildings from the Murrieta Hot Springs.

Butterfield Square, once a 1890s-style shopping center, is just a memory now. It sat at the southeast corner of Old Town Front and Third streets where for the last several years a construction barrier has obscured the view where the shopping center and the last two remaining motel buildings of the Swing Inn. In 2018, Morris’ Butterfield Square was dismantled to make room for a proposed multi-story luxury hotel.

Old Town Temecula became his palette, and Bob Morris’ art is seen everywhere. He is best remembered for designing the arches at the north and south boundaries of the historic Old Town Temecula district. The four medallions embedded in the sidewalk corners of Main and Old Town Front streets

celebrate different eras in Temecula history. He designed the clock tower building just west of The Bank Plates and Pours on Main Street and the water tank building north of The Bank on Front Street.

On Nov. 19, 2018, Morris died at the age of 85. As I drive under the arches in Old Town Temecula, I glance up and smile, thanking the artist for the historic beauty he had created for everyone to enjoy.

Fallbrook Land Conservancy hosts spring walk at the Los Jilgueros Preserve Christal Gaines-Emory WRITER

The Fallbrook Land Conservancy hosted a spring walk at the local Los Jilgueros Preserve to help raise awareness about wildlife preservation and to connect with new people who share an interest in nature on Saturday, April 17.

FLC is a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the wildlife in the community, and FLC protects more than 2700 acres in Fallbrook and Bonsall including the Los Jilgueros Preserve, Monserate Mountain Preserve, Margarita Peak Preserve, and more. FLC works with different nonprofits in order to beautify and enhance the environment in the community.

Susan Liebes, chairman of the FLC, planned this walk to help inform the community about the FLC and their mission, as well as to pique the interest of other community members and encourage them to become involved in FLC. “The spring walks are sa The preserve ha a part of our community of California outreach effort to inform diverse variety at th ers native wildflow people about the wildmid-April. began to bloom life in Fallbrook,” she said. “We’re eager to welcome new people and teach others about how to coexist with the wildlife.”

The Los Jilgueros Parts of the preserve are covered in grapevines that will grow small, Preserve is 46 acres, bitter grapes, loved by the wildlife. and it is filled with a variety of California native plant species and other wildlife, including ducks, bunnies, lizards, and many different types of birds.

These spring walks take place multiple times, usually when the flower blooms are at their most vibrant. This year, the perennial and annual wildflower blooms brought a burst of color to the area, right on time for the spring walk.

“My favorite thing about the preserve is how bright and accessible it is,” said Liebes. “Even if you don’t know much about wildlife, there is something engaging at the preserve.

The many different types of wildflowers, the species of animals, there’s something for everyone. Visiting the preserve is a the of e on is great way to eduge Black sa ants pl of s pe cate yourself and ty t en many differ Jilgueros. s Lo get involved in at g in ow gr the community.”

D u r i n g t h e There are multiple bodies of water located on Los Jilgueros preserve, s p r i n g w a l k , home to many ducks and toads.

Liebes led the group on a tour and taught the attendees about the different types of plants, animals, and what the FLC does to keep the preserve protected. She pointed out the invasive plant species and how to manage them, and she also explained the importance of respecting the history of the space. In the past, the preserve was a farm, which is why there is still farm equipment around the area.

Liebes also addressed the importance of respecting the wildlife and keeping the preserve clean by picking up trash and staying on the trail.

Los Jilgueros and all of the other preserves owned by the FLC rely on volunteers and other nonprofits to help keep the wildlife healthy and protected. Groups like Save Our Forest and the Native Plants Restoration team have helped keep the preserves well maintained, however, the FLC is always looking for more volunteers to help make a positive impact on the community.

“As members of Fallbrook, it is our job to serve the community and work to make it an even better place to live,” she said. “Whether that be through volunteering with the FLC or working with children or animals, volunteering will make the community a more positive place.”

Movie Review: ‘Mortal Kombat’ Bob Garver SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

I remember when the first “Mortal Kombat” movie came out in 1995. That’s not to say I remember “seeing” the first “Mortal Kombat” movie, because I didn’t. The movie was rated PG-13 and I was too young to see it. But I remember even then thinking that audiences were getting short-changed with a PG-13 “Mortal Kombat.” To me, the video games (which I mostly knew from time spent unattended in arcades) were known for one thing and one thing only: loads and

loads of unapologetic bloodshed.

No way could justice be done to the property inside of a PG-13 rating. Even an R rating might be too wimpy. A proper “Mortal Kombat” movie would need to get an NC-17 for violence. Obviously that’s an unrealistic expectation, but surely a new R-rated “Mortal Kombat” movie in 2021 should be a step in the right direction. I never did find out exactly how tame the PG-13 “Mortal Kombat” was, but it must have been really soft since the R-rated “Mortal Kombat” is a neutered mess.

We open with a prologue that

sets up the centuries-old feud between Scorpion (Hiroyuki Sanada) and Sub-Zero (Joe Taslim). Scorpion dispatches with Subby’s minions with the bloodletting I crave, but it’s all wrong. In the cartoonish game it was fine when blood spurted out after a non-invasive blow, but in live action, it looks awkward when blood is spilled from moves that don’t look capable of breaking skin. The blood itself looks laughably fake too. Again, cheap digital blood is fine when coming from cheap digital characters, not so much when coming from carbon-based life forms. Sub-Zero apparently beats Scorpion in their one-on-one battle (sure he does), but falls short in his task of ending his enemy’s bloodline because he somehow fails to notice his hiddenbut-screaming baby.

Centuries pass, and in the present we meet Cole Young (Lewis Tan), Scorpion’s descendent, a dull cage fighter. He’s attacked

by Sub-Zero, who works for dull megalomaniac Shang Tsung (Chin Han), but manages to evade him (just like his whole family has evidently been evading him for 400 years). He then meets up with dull soldiers Sonya Blade (Jessica McNamee) and Jax (Mehcad Brooks) and thankfully-not-dull Australian outlaw Kano (Josh Lawson). Kano injects profane gloriousness into

the movie, and for a moment we seem to be on the right track, but sorry, Cole, Sonya and Jax are still in this.

The group travels to the temple of dull Lord Raiden (Tadanobu Asano) so they can train under him and his dull students Liu Kang (Ludi Lin) and Kung Lao (Max Huang) for an upcoming interdimensional fighting tournament against Shang Tsung’s stable of warriors (all dull, save for foulmouthed, Damon Herriman-voiced wiseguy Kabal) with the fate of the world on the line. The problem is that the tournament never comes.

All fighting sequences for the rest of the movie are a series of ambushes, even though the “Mortal Kombat” I know and love clearly pits the fighters against each other in a tournament setting with some sort of omnipotent referee/emcee.

And since the fights never start properly, the finishes never quite registered with me either. Well, except for one finish involving Kung Lao where he assumes emcee duties. The ending of that fight is a sadly-too-brief taste of what this movie could have been.

The rest of the fighting is underwhelming at best, wasteful and insulting at worst. As for nonfighting scenes, they do the movie no favors unless Kano or Kabal are there to take full advantage of

the R rating. I know I’m supposed to encourage the movie to develop its characters and not use violence as a cheap crutch, but consider the source material. Plus the movie is just plain boring in its nonviolent scenes, not that it’s much better with the violent ones. “Mortal Kombat” continues the decadeslong streak of video games failing to produce a single decent movie.

It’s like the whole medium is on the wrong side of a Flawless Victory.

Grade: D “Mortal Kombat” is rated R for strong, bloody violence and language throughout, and some crude references. Its running time is 110 minutes.

out your home can give the party some life and help guests get into the overall theme of the party.

Light up the party.

Transforming your home can be made simpler by changing the lighting. It’s typical for lights to be dimmed for parties to set a more relaxed mood. Other ideas include using candles, lamps or even hanging lanterns if you are entertaining outside. Make sure it’s bright enough so everyone can see, but

dimmed enough to set the mood for the evening’s events.

Set the mood with music.

Pick music that matches your theme and inspires that same feel throughout the house. If you’re going for a fun, energetic atmosphere, try something with a quick tempo, such as pop. If you’re wanting to relax, go for subtler, soothing tones.

Try making your playlist before you entertain and listen to it a few times through, that way you can know

what to expect and how guests will react to your music selections.

Enjoy it.

Through all the anxiety and stress of entertainment planning, make sure you take time to enjoy yourself during the time guests are in your home. Some guests will notice if you’re not having a good time.

Smile and remember to be present in the moment.

Hazen and Sawyer receive RCWD contract for Meadowview Pipeline protection study Joe Naiman WRITER

The Rancho California Water District awarded Hazen and Sawyer a professional services contract for the Meadowview Pipeline protection study.

A 6-0 RCWD board vote, April 8, with John Hoagland recusing himself due to a potential conflict of interest, awarded Hazen and Sawyer a $93,005 contract. The study itself is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review, although the project may be subject to CEQA analysis.

The district has two parallel pipelines which cross a 400-acre open space area parallel to a creek.

The potable water pipeline is 24 inches in diameter and utilizes cement mortar lined and coated steel pipe while the recycled water pipeline is a polyvinylchloride pipe 20 inches in diameter.

The creek had experienced bank erosion before the 2019 storms which resulted in severe erosion.

The stream bank which is 5 feet tall is within 2-3 feet of the edge of the potable water line in one area.

The water district has an easement for the pipelines and the land itself is owned by the Meadowview Homeowners Association.

The homeowners’ association is undertaking a restoration project for the creek. The first phase was completed in 2018 by the River-

side County Flood Control and Water Conservation District and restored approximately 1,000 feet of the creek from Del Rey Road to west of Del Rey Road. The Meadowview Homeowners Association and the National Resources Conservation Service, which is part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, are designing Phase 2 which will restore the creek between Phase 1 and Via Norte. The erosion of greatest concern to the water district is in the Phase 2 area.

The Meadowview Pipeline protection study will evaluate the risks to RCWD facilities along with mitigation options. The study will evaluate the impact of the proposed creek restoration project on RCWD

facilities and evaluate mitigation options such as additional armoring, lowering the pipeline below scour potential and relocating the pipeline to another location potentially including public right of way. The preliminary cost of each option will be analyzed, as will environmental and permitting issues for the options.

District staff issued a request for proposals Feb. 18. The submission deadline was March 16. Proposals were received from Hazen and Sawyer, which is based in Irvine, and from HDR, which is based in San Diego. Although HDR submitted a lower proposed fee at $90,010, Hazen and Sawyer was deemed to be the more qualified

firm for the study. Hazen and Sawyer provided a team whose project manager, environmental and permitting engineer and streambed/ scour analysis engineer have significant experience on numerous similar pipeline projects. The Hazen and Sawyer proposal provided five alternatives to be evaluated, and RCWD staff said that the engineering hours level of effort was better estimated by Hazen and Sawyer than by HDR. The Hazen and Sawyer proposal calls for the final report to be provided three months after the notice to proceed is issued.

Yellow Jacket Drilling given contract to Temecula City Council Hemet Landfill monitoring well approves Commerce Center abandon The Department of Waste Resourc- Drilling submitted the bid of $9,150.

Joe Naiman WRITER es has six groundwater monitoring ABC Liovin Drilling, which has an Drive easement purchase wells at the former Hemet Landfill, office in Poway, bid $10.895. The Joe Naiman WRITER

The city of Temecula will be purchasing an 840-square-foot easement along Commerce Center Drive.

A 5-0 Temecula City Council vote Tuesday, April 13, authorized the city manager to take the necessary actions to acquire the parcel in the 27500 block of Commerce Center Drive. The property is currently owned by Mark McMillin LLC. The city acquired property interests from four parcels as part of the extension of Overland Drive from Commerce Center Drive to Enterprise Circle West. Three of those parcels were acquired in fee, and a permanent easement along with a temporary construction easement was acquired for a fourth parcel.

In May 2011, the city began negotiations with McMillin for the purchase of a permanent easement and a temporary construction easement. McMillin opted to defer further negotiations until the construction was completed so that he could analyze all impacts, including parking, on the property.

He agreed to a possession and

use agreement which provided a 2,445-square-foot temporary construction easement.

The McMillin parcel is approximately 19,602 square feet and has a 6,820 square foot multi-tenant light industrial building, a driveway and parking improvements.

The Overland Drive extension project construction was completed in fall 2018. McMillin and the city began negotiations, and at an October 2019 closed session, the city council approved the price and terms for the purchase of the permanent easement and the use of the temporary construction easement. The transaction was delayed while McMillin resolved issues with state agencies.

The city will pay McMillin $141,347 for the purchase and the use of the temporary construction easement, although as part of the purchase and use agreement $91,847 of escrow had previously been paid to McMillin so the additional amount will be $49,500. The city will also be responsible for the escrow-related costs, which are not expected to exceed $10,000.

Yellow Jacket Drilling Services was given the contract to abandon one of the groundwater monitoring wells at the closed Hemet Landfill.

A 5-0 Riverside County Board of Supervisors vote Tuesday, April 20, approved a contract with Yellow Jacket Drilling for $9,150, approved the construction agreement, and authorized the general manager and chief engineer of the county’s Department of Waste Resources to execute change orders if necessary. After the well is abandoned, it will be sealed by Yellow Jacket Drilling, which has an office in Rancho Cucamonga.

but one of those is in the public right of way for Esplanade Avenue.

Both the city of San Jacinto and the Eastern Municipal Water District requested that the Department of Waste Resources abandon the well. A 5-0 board of supervisors vote Jan. 26 approved the plans and specifications to abandon the well and the advertisement for bids while also finding the project to be categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review since there will be no expansion of usage.

Two companies responded by the Feb. 16 bid deadline. Yellow Jacket

engineer’s estimate was $13,000.

Abandoning the well will allow the city of San Jacinto to widen Esplanade Avenue and will allow the Eastern Municipal Water District to construct a water main. The city has agreed to reimburse the county for the cost to provide a suitable location for a replacement well and to construct that well. Eastern has agreed to reimburse the county for the cost to abandon the well.

JIG Consultants to design Ranspot and Peeler avenues pipeline replacement Joe Naiman WRITER

JIG Consultants has been awarded the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District contract for the engineering design of the Ranspot Avenue and Peeler Avenue pipeline replacement contract.

The EVMWD board voted 5-0 Thursday, April 22, to approve a professional services agreement with JIG Consultants, which is based in Orange, for $106,250. The board action approved total expenditures of $134,969 which will also cover $28,188 for staff time and $531 for overhead.

Ranspot Avenue and Peeler Avenue are in Lakeland Village. The

pipelines were built when those streets were in the Elsinore Water District, which was consolidated into the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District in 2011. Many of the pipelines in the former Elsinore Water District area are more than 70 years old and are experiencing deterioration and corrosion issues, so the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District includes those pipelines in the EVMWD pipeline replacement program.

The Ranspot Avenue and Peeler Avenue pipelines are between Landerville Boulevard and Adelfa Street. Approximately 1,280 feet of waterline 1.5 inches in diameter will be replaced by a new pipeline 8 inches in diameter. The replacement

will improve fire flow capability as well as system reliability, and new fire hydrants will be placed along Ranspot Avenue and Peeler Avenue.

District staff issued a request for proposals for professional engineering design services, Jan. 22. Four bids were received by the Feb. 22 deadline. A review panel was evaluated the proposals based on company qualifications, experience, understanding of the project, scope of work, schedule and cost.

JIG Consultants was determined to be the most qualified consultant for the project.

The contract has an expiration date of April 30, 2022.

Menifee receives rebate of more than $500,000 thanks to regional streetlight program Menifee is saving energy and saving money, all while shining brighter, thanks to a regional streetlight program partnership. The joint effort by the Western Riverside Council of Governments, the City of Menifee and Southern California Edison led to approximately 6,500 streetlights within Menifee being purchased and retrofitted to LED technology between March and June 2020.

The initial concept for the regional streetlight program began in 2014 when WRCOG initiated a regional approach to helping jurisdictions purchase their streetlights from SCE. The coordinated effort involved 11 cities/community service districts

and 50,000 streetlights. One of the most beneficial aspects of the program was that once purchased, streetlight lamps would be retrofitted to light-emitting diode technology to provide more economical operations.

This means lower maintenance costs and reduced energy use, while providing much better visibility.

Once the program was completed, WRCOG submitted rebate information to SCE, securing rebates for the LED conversion. Of the 11 jurisdictions that participated in the program, the City of Menifee received the second largest rebate at $534,421. Beyond the LED rebate, the City expects to see an estimated

70+% annual reduction in annual utility bill costs and a 62% reduction (1,908,574 kWh) in annual energy usage. This is enough energy savings to provide electricity to 228 homes each year.

The City of Menifee appreciates the regional partnership that led to these multi-faceted benefits for the community. For more information about the City of Menifee’s streetlight program, visit www. cityofmenifee.us/605/2019-LEDStreetlight-Retrofit-Project and for details about WRCOG’s regional initiative, visit their website at www. wrcog.us/167/Streetlights.

SBA opens application for $28.6B Restaurant Revitalization Fund

Fund prioritizes direct relief to women, veterans, and socially and economically disadvantaged individuals and includes $9.5 billion in set-asides for small businesses WASHINGTON - SBA Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman has announced the U.S. Small Business Administration has opened applications for the Restaurant Revitalization Fund.

The online application will remain open to any eligible establishment until all funds are exhausted.

“Restaurants are the core of our neighborhoods and propel economic activity on main streets across the nation. They are among the businesses that have been hardest hit and need support to survive this pandemic. We want restaurants to know that help is here,” Guzman said. “The SBA has focused on the marketplace realities of our food and beverage businesses in designing the Restaurant Revitalization Fund to meet businesses where they are.

And we are committed to equity to ensure our smaller and underserved businesses, which have suffered the most, can access this critical relief, recover, and grow more resilient.”

Established under the American Rescue Plan, and signed into law

by President Joe Biden on March 11, 2021, the Restaurant Revitalization Fund provides a total of $28.6 billion in direct relief funds to restaurants and other hard-hit food establishments that have experienced economic distress and significant operational losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This program will provide restaurants with funding equal to their pandemic-related revenue loss up to $10 million per business and no more than $5 million per physical location. Funds must be used for allowable expenses by March 11, 2023.

“Recognizing the great urgency to help restaurants keep

their doors open – and with a clear mandate from Congress – the SBA worked at a breakneck speed and is excited to launch this program,” Patrick Kelley, SBA Associate Administrator, Office of Capital Access said. “From day one, we engaged with diverse stakeholders in the food industry community to make sure we built and delivered the program equitably, quickly, and efficiently.”

For the first 21 days that the program is open, the SBA will prioritize funding applications from businesses owned and controlled by women, veterans, and socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. All eligible applicants are encouraged to submit applications as soon as the portal opens. Following the 21 days, all eligible applications will be funded on a first-come, first-served basis.

Consistent with the legislation and the intent of Congress, the SBA continues to take steps to ensure the equitable distribution of relief, particularly for the smallest businesses, by creating a $9.5 billion set-aside: $5 billion for applicants with 2019 gross receipts of not more than $500,000; $4 billion for applicants with 2019 gross receipts from $500,001 to $1,500,000; and $500 million for applicants with 2019 gross receipts not more than $50,000.

federal government, the SBA empowers entrepreneurs and small business owners with the resources and support they need

Iron Clad Living Trusts

Quality Estate Planning at the Hands of an Experienced Attorney at a Guaranteed Low Rate You have thought about estate planning for quite some time. Now is your time to obtain an ironclad comprehensive living trust package at a very affordable price. Secure your estate, pass on the maximum amount of your wealth, protect the beneficiary’s inheritance, and avoid the huge costs and delays of probate. Before the inevitable or unexpected happens, email or call Iron Clad Living Trusts!

QUESTIONS THAT OUR LIVING TRUST LAWYER CAN ANSWER: Can I make my own living trust? Before hiring an estate planning lawyer, some look at the cheap “do-it-yourself” approach. Generic prepackaged trusts and sample estate plans are widely available on the internet. These assembly-line type trusts are peddled to a mass audience. Our typical client is very skilled at what they do for a living, but most clients are not of the legal mind to differentiate fast and convenient trusts from a comprehensive, ironclad living trust. Our pricing structure also allows Ironclad Living Trusts to provide you a great trust package at a great price.

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

Which is better a will or a living trust?

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

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

Students at Discovery Isle Preschool in Temecula Create Earth Day buzz with ladybug hunt Temecula – Students at Discovery Isle Preschool in Temecula have been buzzing with excitement for Earth Day. On April 22, students celebrated Earth Day and taking care of the planet by hunting for ladybugs throughout their schoolyard and studying the different insects they found.

A new virtual distance learning school will be offered during the next regular school year in the San Jacinto Unified School District with a yet to be determined number of students. The new school was announced in a special school board meeting April 28.

The school would be opened in August with parents having two options in registering their children for the school from May 3 to May 14 before the new school year begins, the board said. Regular in-school sessions will begin in the new school year that still will follow all current COVID-19 precautions including the students possibly wearing masks. The district has been working during the COVID-19 pandemic to assure a return to regular classrooms for the students will be safe when they reopen fully.

“The program is definitely still under construction,” Dave Pyle, school superintendent, opening the meeting about the new school.

“We want to provide an option to our families who wish to remain virtual with the newly developed program.” He said there would be more town hall meetings available on the school plans in the future with Spanish language interpretations.

The new school that still has to be named, will be hiring or assigning teachers to the new school depending upon the number of students who are registered before May 14, according to John Roach, assistant superintendent of education ser-

vices, who presented an overview of the new school and its current progress. More than 100 parents and others participated in the online town Hall meeting, with a questionand-answer period at the end.

The two options offered with the new virtual school. The first will allow for self-paced instruction where the student can learn at his or her own pace virtually with a coach assigned and parent participation. The other is instructor paced instruction where a teacher and tutors, as needed, will be assigned to the student similar to the way it was during the past year’s virtual learning. In the middle school the student would transition through different teachers. The program is more on a synchronist model, Roach said.

The courses will all have to be completed on schedule according to the state of California education and school district requirements.

It would still require 5 days of attendance. Facilitating the new program, a learning center, that was once the San Jacinto Leadership Academy that will be soon vacated, for both the self-paced and instruction paced options. Teachers would be available at the school during various hours.

Roach said the program itself whether it includes elementary, middle or high school students will be determined by the number of students registering. If they do not register before the May 14 deadline on the school website or in person, where they will continue their education in the normal school programs and in-class instruction.

There could be some exceptions to registrations depending on students

and parents’ circumstances. All registrations will be reviewed, and admittance would depend on the students’ progress made in the past years distance learning.

“We want students to be successful in this program,” said Roach.

Parents for home-school students can use the Parent Portal to learn more about the program and its requirements.

Roach said there would still be opportunities for the new school students to participate in school or CIF programs, but it will still need to be reviewed by the CIF. Those activities and in person electives would be done at other specified regular schools.

Roach explained there is still much to be done to have the school get up and running, the first thing will be counting the number of students enrolling and assigned teachers to the options. Roach said the school may have a contest to name the new school with the details shown on the school’s regular parent websites or the district website.

He said the number of students in the new school, if there are many, may be placed on a waiting list. He expected more registrations from the elementary and middle school population. No kindergarten for preschool students.

The programs will still use the Google Meet and Zoom formats and the student will be receiving new computers to facilitate the virtual learning school program.

Home schoolers will have the Aries Program for information.

HOME & GARDEN

Dealing with the drought

Innovations in irrigation make it easy for homeowners to reduce water usage Debbie Ramsey SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

If you feel that your lawn is only sufficiently irrigated when the water is running off in streams down the street, you may want to update your knowledge. In the meanwhile, you’ll be lucky if the ‘water police’ don’t show up on your doorstep.

With both Fallbrook and Rainbow water districts declaring a Stage II ‘Drought Alert,’ local residents must adhere to usage restrictions associated with that status by: irrigating their landscape before 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m. only; eliminating water waste from inefficient irrigation (runoff or overspray); not washing down paved surfaces; and more.

The current regulations have most home and business owners taking a hard look at their watering habits.

Kyle Hawkins, commercial/ wholesale sales manager for Grangetto’s Farm & Garden Supply, says the least expensive thing residents can do to reduce their water usage on their landscape is to “check [do an audit of] their existing irrigation system. Make sure the irrigation clock is programmed for the current season; check for leaky valves, irrigation lines and sprinklers; adjust irrigation heads; check for clogged heads; prune back plant material blocking sprinklers; and check the pressure in the existing irrigation system.”

“In general, most people overwater because they never change their irrigation controller run times from summer to winter,” explained Hawkins.

Remembering to change an irrigation controller’s schedule is easy to forget with the busy lives many lead, hence the movement to a ‘smarter’ product that knows how to do that by itself and doesn’t trouble the consumer with conventional ‘timers’ and ‘clocks.’

One of those smart products is the SmartLine controller, manufactured by Weathermatic. With state-of-the-art water management technology, the SmartLine controller takes key weather data and combines it with basic site and sprinkler system information.

Excessive watering becomes a thing of the past.

“It eliminates human error,” Hawkins said. An irrigation control system like SmartLine takes the guesswork out of programming an irrigation clock.

It uses factors including temperature, rain, humidity, type of sprinkler, type of soil, plant type and geographical region to come up with a formula each day to adjust the clock’s run times.

Combine that with the latest in sprinkler technology – for

example, the Hunter MP Rotator.

The new rotators are a far cry from old spray heads when it comes to effective watering.

Spray heads can be likened to an old-fashioned showerhead; a portion of the water hits the target and a significant amount goes to waste.

Rotators provide a rotating system with multiple streams of water that achieves better absorbency.

By adjusting the radius of the spray, wastewater is practically eliminated.

With 25 years of experience in the landscape industry, Bob Butler, owner of Butler Landscape in Fallbrook, said he is impressed with the efficiency of the rotators.

“You can adjust the radius and the angle of throw and because of the single streams…[the water] doesn’t drift,” explained Butler.

“These products use about half the water as a spray head.”

“The biggest difference between the [old] spray heads and the innovative rotators is the precipitation rate [how much water is distributed in an hour period], similar to a rainfall measurement,” Hawkins said. “Traditional spray heads put out 2 inches per hour, which is nearly impossible for our soil to absorb. The rotators put out 0.40 inches an hour, thus allowing the water to soak in and not run off.”

Essentially, soft streams of water directed to turf or plant

material only, with no excessive overspray, will save money while doing an exceptional job of watering the premises.

“Rotators cover a good-sized area,” Butler said. “They are also perfect for watering newly seeded areas because they put down water in a nice, soft way.”

Butler said many of his regular customers have already converted their irrigation systems to the new style. “I’ve been doing a lot of revamps lately,” he said. “In the old days, people just slammed in systems without a lot of thought and that was that.”

For those having a difficult time trying to keep their head above water in the current economy, making the transition to ‘smarter’ irrigation doesn’t mean it has to all happen at once. It can be done a little at a time to ease the burden on the pocketbook.

“People can definitely [improve their irrigation system] in stages,” Hawkins said. “The first thing to do is an irrigation audit. Second, check the water pressures and adjust it to manufacturer’s specifications. Third, install ‘smart’ controllers. Last, install rotary nozzles and convert areas to drip irrigation.”

Because controllers like SmartLine are expandable, a consumer can begin by setting up one area of the yard and then adding other areas to the system in stages as it

fits their budget.

And the final cost won’t necessarily be what the customer sees on the price stickers in the store.

There are plenty of rebates out there to take advantage of.

“All a person has to do is go onto www.grangettos.com and we have all the links to rebates for homeowners and commercial applications,” Hawkins noted.

Family Features SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

From experiences to surroundings, the past year has brought a renewed focus on feeding the soul. In an era of overstimulation and information overload, many are finding a new appreciation for living life minimally but with maximum experiences.

That mentality is increasingly evident in all aspects of life, especially with home design and decor.

After all, spending more time at home means more time to discover what truly evokes happiness.

At the same time, as the focus on physical and mental wellness heightens, design experts see those trends reflected in a more consid-

ered approach to design inspired by color therapy, which makes it possible to create beautiful spaces filled with healing color.

With a coordinated color palette, like the Color Collections from HGTV Home by SherwinWilliams, colors work in perfect harmony in any combination.

Thoughtful use of color is among the most effective design tools for reveal-worthy style in your home.

Appliances In the past, appliances were meant to blend into the decor to be less obvious, albeit essential, elements of a kitchen. A more contemporary approach: vibrant appliances that get noticed. You can find major appliances in a wide range of colors, but if you’re

not sure about going that big and bold, many smaller countertop appliances, such as stand mixers and toasters, come in a range of colorful options, too.

Architecture When contemplating where and how to apply color to a space, avoid boxing in your options. Think beyond traditional wall space when planning ways to change the color in a space; be thoughtful with color and highlight architectural details to elevate the interest and charm in your home. Take a 360-degree immersive color approach, painting the same shade from floor to ceiling and all around to create a mood-boosting lift to a room.

To infuse more color and boldness into your space, consider a timeless and elegant shade of red, like HGTV Home by SherwinWilliams’ 2021 Color of the Year.

The paint color, “Passionate,” is a deeply saturated hue that is daringly rich and invigorates the senses. The bold and empowering red is steeped in history, merging modern design with traditional charm.

Furniture Whether you’re into project pieces you can transform into something new or simply shopping for furnishings that complement your space, be sure to consider how the furniture fits into the overall color scheme. Selecting furniture that fits with the design brings a more cohesive and stylized feel to the room. For example, a desk and bookshelves in pale natural hues can lend warmth to an office with

Area football players join NFL ranks in 2021 draft

Lorenzo Burns, who played at Linfield Christian and was recruited to play at the University of Arizona after Valley News/File photos high school, was signed to the Arizona Cardinals as an Undrafted Free Agent.

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

The 2021 NFL Draft, which was hosted last weekend in various locations across Cleveland, OH, including FirstEnergy Stadium and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, is in the books. Last year, the 2020 NFL Draft was held remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with NFL teams making their selections from home. Now, before you know it, all eyes will be back on the field, and the new season will be fast approaching.

From No. 1 (Trevor Lawrence to the Jacksonville Jaguars) through No. 259 (Grant Stuard, aka “Mr. Irrelevant,” to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers), there were also several college players with ties to the

Inland Empire that were taken in this year’s draft. Local names like Demitric Felton Jr. (Great Oak High School), Lorenzo Burns (Linfield Christian), Dwayne Johnson Jr. (Vista Murrieta), Camryn Bynum (Corona Centennial) and Javon McKinley (Corona Centennial) will have an opportunity to impact a professional team, or at least that is their hope.

Felton, who played at UCLA after high school, was picked up by the Cleveland Browns in Round 6 Pick 112. Demitric’s first reaction was “Thank God!” He is excited for the opportunity the Browns has given him to fulfill his lifelong dream of playing in the NFL. The Great Oak High alumnus is a hybrid talent who displayed his ability to play receiver and running

back as a Bruin and will join a backfield that features Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.

Burns, who played at Linfield Christian and was recruited to play at the University of Arizona after high school, playing defense and earning an MVP his senior year, was picked up by the Arizona Cardinals as an Undrafted Free Agent.

The Falcons signed San Diego State defensive back, and former Vista Murrieta standout, Dwayne Johnson Jr. as an undrafted free agent. As a junior in 2019, Johnson started all 13 games, receiving honorable mention all-MW recognition after posting 92 tackles (54 solo, 1.5 TFL), one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, one interception and five pass breakups.

The Minnesota Vikings selected

Former Vista Murrieta standout and San Diego State defensive back, Dwayne Johnson Jr. (36) was signed as an undrafted free agent to the Atlanta Falcons.

Cal defensive back Camryn Bynum in the fourth round with the 125th pick. Bynum was a member of the Corona Centennial team that beat St. John Bosco to win the CIF Southern Section Pac-5 Division title in each of his final two years of high school (2014, 2015).

Bynum’s high school teammate, Javon McKinley, signed with the Detroit Lions as an undrafted free agent. McKinley spent the last five years as a receiver at Notre Dame.

Bynum recorded 188 total tackles (eight for a loss), six interceptions and 35 pass deflections in 42 starts. He also registered five tackles, the second-highest total for the National team, in the Senior Bowl. Valley News photographer, Rob Davis, also contributed to this article.

Student athletes from TV and Murrieta Mesa sign National Letters of Intent

VALLEY NEWS SPORTS DEPARTMENT

Student athletes from two local high schools recently participated in their first on-site National Letter of Intent signing day ceremonies since the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020. National Signing Day for high school athletes usually includes big ceremonies at their schools in gyms or quads, in front of students, family and friends, and it has become a tradition that seems to get bigger each year. While most schools have recognized their signees virtually for the past few months, Temecula Valley High School and Murrieta Mesa High School staff, coaches and parents recently celebrated their student athletes on their own campuses.

As 2021 graduates, they are being recognized for committing to play sports and further their education at the next level. Wednesday, Feb. 3, was the first day of 2021 that a high school senior could sign a binding national letter of intent with an NCAA, NCCAA or NAIA college, committing in writing to

attend that school in exchange for a commitment from the school to receive financial aid and scholarships. The final date for a graduating senior to commit to play sports in college is Sunday, Aug. 1.

Here is a look at the colleges and universities to which the local student athletes from TV and Mesa will be reportedly taking their talents.

Vaccine clinic at Lake Elsinore stadium closes; new site located at nearby outlet mall A new vaccine clinic began operations April 29 at the Outlets at Lake Elsinore mall. The clinic, which is being operated by Curative, replaces the drive-up site that had been established at the Lake Elsinore Diamond Stadium months ago under the direction of Riverside County Public Health Department.

The move was initiated, in part, because the Lake Elsinore Storm, a minor league affiliate of the San

Diego Padres, will be using the stadium for its upcoming baseball season.

“We are so thankful to the city of Lake Elsinore and support staff for the use of the stadium for both COVID-19 testing and vaccinations,” Kim Saruwatari, director of Public Health, said. “They have been a great community partner.”

Riverside County Supervisor Kevin Jeffries also noted how strong community partnerships

have helped residents get vaccinated at convenient locations.

“Lake Elsinore has been a great partner with Riverside County over the past year with both testing centers and vaccination clinics, and we appreciate their assistance,” Jeffries said. “With this new location right off the freeway at the Outlets at Lake Elsinore mall should also provide easy access to vaccines for residents all along the 15 corridor.”

The outlet mall’s clinic is at 17600 Collier Ave., Suite H177, Lake Elsinore.

More than 1.5 million vaccine doses have been administered to Riverside County residents between the county operated clinics and those run by the community partners.

The county offers three types of vaccines – Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson and Johnson – at its clinics. Those 16 and older are

eligible to be vaccinated, although individuals 16 and 17 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, and must receive the Pfizer vaccine.

Appointments are not required but encouraged. To make an appointment, visit www.rivcoph.org/ covid-19-vaccine.

Those needing assistance can call 2-1-1 or (951) 358-5000.

Advocates warn seniors and caregivers about scams around vaccinations Riverside County clinics do not require payment for COVID-19 shots or appointments

Seniors and their caregivers should never give out financial information to callers, websites or emailers who insist the data is required to schedule a COVID-19 vaccination, Riverside County officials advised this week.

Valley News/ C ou r t esy p h ot o

Riverside County - Seniors and their caregivers should never give out financial information to callers, websites or emailers who insist the data is required to schedule a COVID-19 vaccination, Riverside County officials advised this week.

“Riverside County does not ask residents to pay for vaccinations or vaccination appointments,” Jewel Lee, director of Office on Aging said.

“Scammers are preying on seniors and at-risk adults who are seeking services during the pandemic

recovery.”

One-fifth of Riverside County’s 2.5 million residents are age 60 or older. They are frequent targets for fraudsters and phishing scams because they own assets, said Michaela Williams, who works in the county’s Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) as an advocate for financial fraud victims.

“The death or incapacity of a spouse, health challenges, diminished mental capacity, and social isolation also increase susceptibility to fraud and exploitation,” Williams added, urging anyone who thinks they’ve been the target of a scam to report it to the 24-hour Adult Protective Services (APS) hotline at 800-491-7123.

Since the pandemic broke out more than a year ago, the Federal Trade Commission reports fraudsters have duped consumers nationwide out of hundreds of millions of dollars in COVID-19 related scams. APS receives an average of 300 reports per month of suspected financial fraud against older and

dependent adults.

In Riverside County, one scam involves a caller asking the person to pay or provide financial information to schedule or reschedule an appointment. Another uses a phone number that appears to be a Riverside County line.

The Federal Trade Commission advises that a vaccine distribution site or health insurance company will not call, text, or email asking for your credit card or bank account number to sign up to receive the vaccine.

Customers who contact the Department of Public Health directly to book a vaccination appointment at a county-run clinic will be asked to provide basic personal information, and may be asked for their Social Security number.

Customers can turn to trusted sources such as the county Public Health department or call centers at 2-1-1 and Office on Aging. Those sources may require basic personal information to register for a COVID-19 vaccine.

“Safeguarding our customers’ information to protect them is a priority,” Todd Bellanca, assistant director of DPSS Adult Services, said. “All consumers should know who’s on the other end of a phone call or email before providing any information.”

To help prevent older and dependent adults from becoming victims of scams, Adult Services encourages community members to stay engaged with aging family members, neighbors and friends and to reach out to seniors in isolation.

The public can also find tips from the FTC on how to avoid a vaccine-related scam by visiting www.consumer.ftc.gov/ blog/2021/04/covid-vaccines-arefree?utm_source=govdelivery.

DPSS has been serving Riverside County since 1923 when it began with its first two workers.

Today, the department is more than 4,000 employees strong, serving one million residents last year in the nation’s tenth most populous county.

Golden Era team runs to raise awareness about drugs

Raising awareness for drug prevention in Riverside County, Golden Era Productions’ Truth About Drugs Running Team takes part in the Santa Rosa Plateau Nature Education Foundation’s virtual RunHikeRide event.

Valley News/ C ou r t esy p h ot o

SAN JACINTO – Golden Era Productions’ Truth About Drugs Running Team took part in the Santa Rosa Plateau Nature Education Foundation’s first virtual fundraiser, Sunday, April 18. Participants were invited to run, hike or ride in a 5K or 10K remotely to benefit the foundation’s goal of guiding young citizens toward a life of environmental stewardship.

The foundation operates in association with the 7,500-acre Santa Rosa Plateau Nature Preserve in Murrieta.

The Golden Era Productions team said they ran this virtual race through the Golden Era Productions campus to promote drug-free living by raising awareness of the three most dangerous drugs in Riverside County: methamphetamine,

heroin and fentanyl. According to the team, education is the most effective tool in combating the use of these illegal drugs.

This past year in Riverside County, there have been 227 fentanyl-related deaths. To reduce the sale of this drug, Riverside district attorney is charging fentanyl dealers with second degree murder in connection with deaths from fentanyl toxicity.

“Fentanyl is 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more powerful than morphine.

Dealers of illegal drugs are known to spike other pharmaceutical drugs such as oxycodone with fentanyl or sell fake oxycodone, which is really fentanyl, to unsuspecting users. Children are duped through social media platforms to buy what

they think is a pharmaceutical grade pill and it’s not. It is fentanyl.

And they die,” according to a news release from the running team.

Golden Era Productions Truth About Drugs Running Team urged community partners to help save lives by increasing awareness of fentanyl and helping young people make informed decisions to live drug-free lives.

The Truth About Drugs is the largest and most comprehensive international nongovernmental drug education and prevention program. Produced by the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, its videos, booklets and teaching aids and free online courses are available in 20 languages.

Colbert and national media miss the mark again

Julie Reeder PUBLISHER

While the national news and late night talk shows are making fun of Temecula City Council again, and specifically Jessica Alexander, over a comment she made, I have to say how impressed I am with the council.

After a nearly three-hour meeting where they handled a lot of issues as well as public comments, I was pleased with all the councilmembers as they passionately, yet smartly, debated the issues at hand. While Colbert and others mocked, it was a picture of what representative democracy is supposed to look like.

After three hours, the issue was if and how they could go back to in person meetings. Masks were at the center of the debate, however, they weren’t debating the efficiency of masks, but rather the legality, or the mandate and their responsibility to follow Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines and their desire to do the right thing for their constituents as well as to set the example, while also trying to figure out a way to respect the individual rights and desires of board members who can’t or don’t

wear masks.

Little did they know that night that the meeting would throw Temecula, once again, into the national spotlight. And again, try to make it about race because that sells and makes great click bait. It also continues to amaze me how the truth is stretched.

Stephen Colbert, who talked about it on his nighttime talk show, in addition to making fun of Alexander, accused Mayor MaryAnn Edwards of rolling her eyes and leaving the meeting. Only one problem – it never happened.

Mayor Edwards didn’t roll her eyes. She clearly looked to the side of the room as if someone was approaching, and her screen went off for maybe 15 seconds and then right back on and she continued to run the meeting.

It was more entertaining for Colbert to exaggerate and make it out as more than it was and also try to

indeed violating the civil rights of those Californians seeking to exercise their naturally ordained First Amendment freedoms. The Court has ruled time and time again that the governor cannot shut down churches and other social and political gatherings because he has no authority to do so.

Similarly, Rosa Parks sought justice when she was denied her seat on a bus in the Democratically controlled Jim Crow South of the last century. The Jim Crow policies that existed then were little more than government imposed diktats that were ruled as unconstitutional.

If anything, Gavin Newsom’s anti-civil rights actions this past year should entitle him to join the ranks of fellow unconstitutional political demagogues like Woodrow Wilson, Orval Faunus and Bull Connor, all Democrats.

So instead of letting these racebaiters and political grievance hustlers continue to try to spread dissension, angst and recriminations throughout Temecula, let’s remember that we should honor, celebrate, invoke and seek inspiration from all American leaders and heroes of virtue, of conscience and of bravery. These fellow Americans come from all walks of life and from all natural origins of class, race and creed. Much like the banners honoring Veterans that are periodically displayed throughout Temecula, these honorees transcend race, class, gender and creed.

I would highly recommend that local agitator and grievance-

is apparent from the censoring going on right now. Big tech is putting themselves in between knowledgeable people like doctors who actually know what they are talking about and people who are searching for truth on the issues relating to COVID-19, masks, vaccines and herd immunity, etc.

These conversations aren’t going away. Tens of thousands of doctors worldwide are chiming in on all these issues and many disagree with Dr. Fauci and the World Health Organization’s current positions and while big tech may be censoring and using them as a standard for all truth, research and alternative messages are getting out. The science isn’t settled.

The data from the last year is being analyzed and maybe all the news outlets and publications who jumped on the bandwagon with Colbert should tone down their mockery and do better.

Priorities for the future

Recent political attacks are much ado about nothing The recent political attacks against a member of this city council for finding inspiration by a civil rights icon is much ado about nothing.

This is all being orchestrated by self-appointed, so-called “social justice” activists, like local leftist Julie Geary, in order to sow even more political division and angst within our community and throughout our country.

That an elected member to the city council finds inspiration by the actions of Rosa Parks is laudable.

Why is it now all of the sudden an elected city leader cannot cite the worthy actions of somebody like Rosa Parks? Is it because the council member is religious? Or patriotic? Or white? Or female?

We are all Americans. We should all especially look to those noteworthy Americans for inspiration who have sacrificed and made great contributions to our country, particularly when a thought or idea in such political climates may go against the current conventional wisdom.

Julie Geary and her ilk demonstrate their ignorance by suggesting that there is no connection whatsoever between Rosa Parks’ stand for civil rights and the desire of millions and millions of fellow citizens to do away with restrictive mask edicts and social gathering bans as dictated by our California governor.

The simple truth is that the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled five times against our California governor because his diktats were

make Jessica Alexander look bad.

Because obviously she’s a nut for not wearing a mask, right? Why not bully her, call her names, make fun of her and accuse her of not being fit for office, as one public commenter did?

My encouragement would be for Temecula residents to not believe what is going on with your city council meeting from late night talk shows trying to make something of nothing. You have a Temecula City Council that proved once again that they care about their city and its residents. They are smart, professional and know how to debate an issue without drama or name calling. It was impressive how they listened and sought to understand each other and come to a resolution, which they did.

Many national media outlets and big tech companies don’t respect that level of political debate which

monger Julie Geary make an appointment with the REDI Commission so that she can learn some tolerance herself as well as understanding that race-baiting is just as bad as racism.

Note: I have Bcc the email contact of the REDI Commission so that they can perhaps expect a call from Ms. Geary in the near future for her remedial counseling.

Lastly, I once again strongly encourage this esteemed city council to fully reopen City Hall and City Council meetings to the public as quickly as possible. City Council meetings should be done in person, in council chambers, with the public attending in person and interacting with the Council.

Public comments should revert back to live in-person comments only so that people cannot hide behind computers and/or anonymous internet names. This would also relieve our capable and dedicated City Clerk from reading these emailed and frequently anonymous, redundant and noxious comments into the record. Let the public read their own comments in person into the record.

Besides, you’ll probably also hear less from me as well, which may or may not put smiles on your faces.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Assemblymember Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

As the constitutionally mandated June 15 deadline for passing a balanced budget nears, discussions in Sacramento about spending priorities are ramping up.

California is facing a variety of challenges. First of all, we must get the economy up and running again, and we can use our budget surplus to help bring back jobs.

Through additional investments in the Small Business Grant Program, and by targeting surplus revenues to reduce unemployment insurance debt for employers, we can get people back to work.

Our streets and roads are increasingly inadequate – we have a $6.1 billion annual shortfall to maintain our highways over the next decade. California’s wet and dry cycles will continue, and we

need to invest in more water storage and conveyance facilities, improve local drinking water systems and flood control projects. With wildfires an ever-present threat, we need to make investments in better vegetation management and more equipment to slow the spread of fires, reduce their severity, save lives, protect the environment and reduce property damage.

We need to invest more in healthcare, including reducing the cost of medical education, and providing more licensing options and incentives for health care workers to serve in low-income, rural and underserved areas. We need more affordable housing and we must streamline regulations to increase housing supply. We also need to ensure that law enforcement and the courts have the resources needed to enforce laws safely and equitably for all Californians. And our kids need to get back into the classroom.

These are just a few of the issues that will be addressed by the state budget. Together with members of my Caucus, I am committed to working in a bipartisan manner to get the economy back on track, the kids back in school, to rebuilding California’s infrastructure and protecting our citizens.

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

What about poverty on a global scale Answers from puzzle on page B-3

Poverty is everywhere in the United States, and unfortunately California sits as the third state with the largest homeless population. It’s been noted by community leaders that there are at least 50 homeless individuals taking refuge in our city. Together, the city, community, and local government are working towards housing dedicated to their rehabilitation and reintroduction into society.

Instead of treating homelessness as a disease, the community must

continuously work toward a respectful humanitarian approach to their situations. The local poverty issue has gained enough traction to enact change from the local government and its leaders, but what about poverty on a global scale?

We all do better when we all do better; meaning small investments in global poverty means bigger return investments for America.

Being a Political Affairs Ambassador for The Borgen Project exposed me to the reality of poverty

on a local and global scale, further expressing the need for constant change. By lobbying Congress, The Borgen Project is helping poverty reduction get approved.

By donating and getting involved with nonprofits like The Borgen Project, you can help rid the world of poverty and hunger.

Emissions plan will risk jobs in communities of color already suffering from pandemic Paul Granillo SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

At a time when Southern California may finally be seeing some light at the end of the COVID-19 tunnel, the last thing local regulators should be doing is threatening our economy, particularly for the communities of color that have been hit hardest by the pandemic.

Unfortunately, a misguided emissions proposal targeting the Inland Empire’s logistics industry could be the next devastating blow to Black and Hispanic communities, jeopardizing jobs and hindering any real chance at an equitable economic recovery.

The racial disparities of COVID-19’s impact are no secret at this point. Inland Empire communities of color have been the hardest hit by the pandemic, suffering dis-

proportionally high infection and death rates and a lack of access to vaccines in recent months. Now, after suffering the worst physical toll of the pandemic, people of color - who represent two-thirds of the U.S. essential warehouse workforce - are now potentially facing a new wave of economic anguish.

In May, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) is set to vote on a controversial “indirect source” rule (ISR) that would require warehouse operators in the region to take steps to reduce emissions from trucks that move goods to and from their warehouses. Warehouse operators that fail to take such steps, such as transitioning to electric trucks, would be required to pay a tax to the AQMD. The rule would affect at least 3,000 warehouses across

the region.

Putting aside the serious legal questions about the AQMD’s authority to actually implement such restrictions - which would be the first of its kind in the United States - this plan could have disastrous effects for those working in warehouses while doing nothing to curb emissions.

This is because it would be nearly impossible for warehouse operators to fully comply with the regulations any time soon, specifically the goal of shifting existing truck fleets to zero-emissions (ZE) vehicles. As the clean transportation group CALSTART has noted, ZE commercial vehicles will not be commercially viable until 2025.

Even the AQMD itself has admitted that there is insufficient see EMISSIONS, page C-6

Suspected smuggling boat overturns killing 3 people City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

SAN DIEGO – Border Patrol officials said a 40-foot cabin cruiser that overturned in Point Loma May 2, killing three people, was suspected of being part of a smuggling operation.

Three people died and 27 people were pulled from the water and hospitalized with a wide range of injuries after the boat capsized, officials said.

The accident happened at about 10:30 a.m. Sunday in ocean waters off the Cabrillo National Monument. Border Patrol officials said

the boat crashed into the shoreline surrounding the monument and capsized. Eventually, all aboard the boat jumped in the water as it slowly disintegrated, a bystander’s video of the sinking boat showed.

The boat was probably being used to transport undocumented people into the United States, according to Jeffery Stephenson of the Customs and Border Protection Public Affairs Office.

“It was a smuggling vessel,’” Stephenson said at a Sunday afternoon press briefing. “Border Patrol agents are with a man we believe was the operator.

“Smugglers don’t care about

the people they’re exploiting,” he said. “All they care about is profit.

They had inadequate safety equipment and obviously this vessel was severely overcrowded.”

San Diego lifeguards conducted seven water rescues and one cliff rescue, said James Gartland, lifeguard chief.

“This was a mass rescue operation that turned into a mass casualty event,” Gartland said.

There was one major trauma and three people were treated with CPR, he said.

Gartland said the incident was probably the worst tragedy he has seen in his 26 years in the

lifeguard service.

“It’s a tragic event here in San Diego,” Gartland said. “The lifeguards performed excellent,” the chief said. “We train for this exact type of incident. It was an excellent effort by all the rescuers and responders who showed up today.”

San Diego Fire-Rescue Department personnel, lifeguards, U.S. Coast Guard boats and aircraft and Customs and Border Protection air support were still in the area Sunday afternoon searching for other possible victims.

The 27 people who were rescued were taken to a variety of local hospitals, including Sharp Memo-

rial, Palomar Medical Center West, Alvarado, UCSD Medical Center in Hillcrest, Grossmont Hospital, Kaiser Clairemont Mesa, Kaiser Zion and Paradise Valley Hospital, the SDFRD said.

SDFRD firefighters and lifeguards, along with federal firefighters, U.S. Coast Guard and other local agencies worked together on the accident.

About 96 personnel were assigned to the rescue, including medics, fire engine crews and a chaplain.

Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Hewitt lays out platform for governor run Julie Reeder PUBLISHER

Riverside County 5th District Supervisor Jeff Hewitt outlined why he is running for governor today in an op-ed published in several Southern California News Group newspapers.

The Libertarian business owner is running to challenge Gov. Gavin Newsom in the upcoming recall election.

He says as a Libertarian, not a member of either major party, he has “the ability to accept the best ideas of each side and work for consensus and compromise that benefits the state as a whole.”

Last Monday, the California Secretary of State’s office confirmed that enough validated signatures had been gathered to force a recall election of Gov. Newsom, likely in November.

In the op-ed, Hewitt cited some of Newsom’s actions throughout the COVID-19 pandemic as reasons that pushed him to throw his hat in the ring.

He accused the state of creating an “arbitrary and capricious criteria” to determine what business would be deemed essential during the coronavirus lockdowns.

He has been a vocal critic of the state’s pandemic restrictions on businesses and even put forth a plan to ignore the state’s tiered reopening blueprint and replace it with a country-run strategy that would have sped up reopening.

However, Hewitt’s plan did not garner enough support from the other supervisors.

He also wrote in the op-ed that the state played favorites and did not provide enough vaccines to Riverside County during the early months of the rollout, putting his constituents at risk.

Part of Hewitt’s platform is to upgrade California’s water system, including building new reservoirs.

He called for “smarter water policy’” in the face of a drought to avoid water rationing.

He also pledged to reduce red tape and fees for developers in order to jump-start the production of homes across the state and reduce homelessness.

Hewitt expressed support for an educational savings account for every student in California, writing that “our schools have failed us in unacceptable ways.”

He wrote, “This is why as governor I would support offering an educational savings account for

every student in the state; making sure that the families that live in the poorest neighborhoods are empowered to send their kids to better schools. This plan would also allow for students to set any unused monies aside to use for college down the road.

“Teachers, many of whom cannot afford a home in the communities they work in, need the flexibility and support on the local level to create champions out of our youth who will be not only good citizens but also technologically prepared for the future. One size does not fit all of California and we can focus on each local district and provide what they need.

I will work to provide choices for families and students across the state.”

The third-generation Californian began his public service career in 2004 when he was appointed to Calimesa’s planning commission before serving four terms on the Calimesa City Council, including two as mayor.

He was elected to represent the Board of Supervisors’ 5th District in 2018. The district encompasses the San Gorgonio Pass, Moreno Valley, Perris and Menifee.

His tenure hasn’t been without

controversy. Last month, a claim filed by a female county employee accusing Hewitt of sexual harassment was settled for $50,000. The claim was paid by the county.

In another claim, a former female staffer of Hewitt’s alleged that he made “disparaging and vulgar comments” and took part in age and gender discrimination.

That claim is still pending.

On his campaign website, Hewitt states that his background in business and public office has prepared him to make the difficult decisions that other politicians might avoid.

“I will save us hundreds of millions a year with one simple moral act: I will take full responsibility for my decisions,” he wrote.

Newsom has criticized the need for a special recall election, calling it a “waste of time’” and money because the 2022 gubernatorial primary will be a few months later.

Business owner John Cox, who lost to Newsom in 2018, former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, former Rep. Doug Ose, R-Sacramento, and Olympic gold medal winner and former reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner, all Republicans, have also announced their candidacies, along

Board backs funding roadmap based on federal relief money City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

RIVERSIDE – In a 4-0 vote, the Board of Supervisors Tuesday, April 27, established a tentative roadmap for how roughly $480 million in federal relief money slated to be appropriated to Riverside County will be spent, though one supervisor pointed out there are likely to be “significant disagreements” on exactly how much money will be going to what programs.

According to the Executive Office, the county’s precise share of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, approved by Congress and signed into law by President Joe Biden on March 11, will be known by May 10, but the estimate is $479 million.

The act mirrors the Coronavirus Aid, Relief & Economic Security

Act approved in March 2020 to compensate for the impacts to the labor markets, businesses and other entities stemming from the coronavirus public health emergency measures.

“We are expected to receive two ARP installments,” county Transportation & Land Management Agency Director Juan Perez told the board. “We are working to set up categories, or buckets, and come back with specific programs and recommendations for each one.”

The lion’s share of the funds will go to support programs in individual cities within the county.

But before anything can be distributed, guidelines on qualifying expenditures must be in place and published, and according to Riverside County CEO Jeff Van Wagenen, the county and state are still awaiting directions from the

U.S. Treasury Department.

“We should have the guidelines in mid-May,” he said.

The roadmap proposed by Perez and his staff would steer $54 million into economic recovery efforts, $50 million into affordable housing and homeless aid initiatives, $45 million into infrastructure upgrades and $20 million into nonprofits, with an assortment of smaller allocations for a variety of objectives, including backfilling budgetary losses, such as park fee and animal control fee revenue that vanished in the last year.

“We’re also looking for opportunities to figure out how to strengthen the county to absorb further shocks to the system,” the TLMA director said. “We need to make strategic investments for growth.”

Supervisor Kevin Jeffries was lukewarm to the framework outlined by Perez, hesitating to give his full support because “we don’t have the legislation to know what’s going to be eligible and what’s

not” for appropriations.

“I want to be careful,” he said.

“We need to get into some of our impoverished unincorporated communities and make a difference with this. Otherwise, we’re potentially just funding a large bureaucracy, and we’re not helping the communities, which we have been ignoring.”

Board Chair Karen Spiegel acknowledged that because specific federal guidance is still missing, “we’re kind of playing around with numbers.”

“I’m not sure we’re addressing mental and behavioral health,” she said. “We can’t lose sight of underlying things happening and coming up in the future.”

Supervisor Jeff Hewitt, who abstained from voting on the roadmap, called it a “nice start.”

“Hopefully it won’t take too long to make the sausage here,” he said. “We all have different priorities. I don’t even know whether some of this will be good.”

Supervisor Chuck Washington was also initially skeptical but

felt reassured by the prospect of further consideration of the framework in the coming weeks.

Supervisor Manuel Perez signaled his approval of it, particularly the social support aspects.

“I don’t want the numbers to be baked yet,” Jeffries said. “These are rough estimates and projections. I suspect we are going to have significant disagreements with staff on this.”

The county’s CARES allotments last year totaled about $500 million, and some of the funds remain available, including set-asides for rental assistance. Without the CARES money, the county would have been about $40 million in the hole going into the 2021-22 fiscal year, Jeffries noted.

Budget hearings are slated to get underway in early June, and the American Rescue Plan Act funding will likely be factored into spending decisions. According to the TLMA’s Perez, the federal funds are required to be spent by Dec. 30, 2024.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Inland Empire’s logistics industry has been a critical hub of economic activity and a source of thousands of jobs for Black and Hispanic workers in our community who were displaced by the financial downturn. Unfortunately, this unworkable proposal threatens to derail this growth, jeopardizing jobs and an equitable economic recovery from the pandemic while still failing to make the air we breathe cleaner.

Improving air quality for Inland Empire residents is a mission we should all support, but new regulations must balance this critical goal with the needs of Southern California’s Black and Hispanic communities that have suffered the most over the past year.

SpaceX returns 4 astronauts to Earth; rare night splashdown Marcia Dunn AP AEROSPACE WRITER

CAPE CANAVERAL, FL (AP) - SpaceX safely returned four astronauts from the International Space Station on Sunday, making the first U.S. crew splashdown in darkness since the Apollo 8 moonshot.

The Dragon capsule parachuted into the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Panama City, Florida, just before 3 a.m., ending the second astronaut flight for Elon Musk’s company.

It was an express trip home, lasting just 6 1/2 hours.

The astronauts, three American and one Japanese, flew back in the same capsule - named Resilience - in which they launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in November.

“We welcome you back to planet Earth and thanks for flying SpaceX,” SpaceX’s Mission Control radioed moments after splashdown. “For those of you enrolled in our frequent flyer program, you’ve earned 68 million miles on this voyage.”

“We’ll take those miles,” spacecraft commander Mike Hopkins said. “Are they transferable?”

SpaceX replied that the astronauts would have to check with the company’s marketing department.

Within a half-hour of splashdown, the charred capsule - resembling a giant toasted marshmallow - had been hoisted onto the recovery ship, with the astronauts exiting soon afterward. NASA and SpaceX

managers marveled at how fast and smooth the operation went. The company’s senior adviser, Hans Koenigsmann, said “it looked more like a race car pit stop than anything else.”

Hopkins was the first one out, doing a little dance as he emerged under the intense spotlights.

“It’s amazing what can be accomplished when people come together,” he told SpaceX flight controllers at company headquarters in Hawthorne. “Quite frankly, you all are changing the world.

Congratulations. It’s great to be back.”

The 167-day mission was the longest for a crew capsule launching from the U.S. The previous record of 84 days was set by NASA’s final Skylab station astronauts in 1974.

Saturday night’s undocking left seven people at the space station, four of whom arrived a week ago via SpaceX. “Earthbound!” NASA astronaut Victor Glover, the capsule’s pilot, tweeted after departing the station.

“One step closer to family and home!”

Hopkins and Glover, along with NASA’s Shannon Walker and Japan’s Soichi Noguchi, should have returned to Earth last Wednesday, but high offshore winds forced SpaceX to pass up a pair of daytime landing attempts. Managers switched to a rare splashdown in darkness, to take advantage of calm weather.

SpaceX had practiced for a night-

time return, just in case, and even recovered its most recent station cargo capsule from the Gulf of Mexico in darkness. Infrared cameras tracked the astronauts’ capsule as it reentered the atmosphere; it resembled a bright star streaking through the night sky.

All four main parachutes could be seen deploying just before splashdown, which was also visible in the infrared.

Apollo 8, NASA’s first flight to the moon with astronauts, ended with a predawn splashdown in the Pacific near Hawaii on Dec. 27, 1968. Eight years later, a Soviet capsule with two cosmonauts ended up in a dark, partially frozen lake in Kazakhstan, blown off course in a blizzard.

That was it for nighttime crew splashdowns, until Sunday.

Despite the early hour, the Coast Guard was out in full force to enforce an 11-mile (18-kilometer) keep-out zone around the bobbing Dragon capsule. For SpaceX’s first crew return in August, pleasure boaters swarmed the capsule, a safety risk. Leisure boats stayed away this time.

Once finished with their medical checks on the ship, the astronauts planned to hop on a helicopter for the short flight to shore, then catch a plane straight to Houston for a reunion with their families.

“It’s not very often you get to wake up on the space station and go to sleep in Houston,” chief flight director Holly Ridings told reporters.

The astronauts’ capsule will

head back to Cape Canaveral for refurbishment for SpaceX’s first private crew mission in September. The space station docking mechanism will be removed, and a brand-new domed window put in its place.

A tech billionaire has purchased the entire three-day flight, which will orbit 75 miles (120 kilometers) above the space station. He’ll fly with a pair of contest winners and a physician assistant from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, his designated charity for the mission.

SpaceX’s next astronaut launch

for NASA will follow in October.

NASA turned to private companies to service the space station, after the shuttle fleet retired in 2011. SpaceX began supply runs in 2012 and, last May, launched its first crew, ending NASA’s reliance on Russia for astronaut transport.

Boeing isn’t expected to launch astronauts until early next year.

Booms in Idaho, Utah buck the curve of slowing US growth Lindsay Whitehurst and Keith Ridler THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Two Western states known for their rugged landscapes and wide-open spaces are bucking the trend of sluggish U.S. population growth, which dipped to the lowest level since the Great Depression, though different forces are powering the population booms in Utah and Idaho.

In Utah, births largely drove the fastest growth in the country over the past decade. In neighboring Idaho, newcomers from California and other states helped it capture the second spot.

“I don’t ever remember seeing anything like this,” Bill Rauer, executive officer of the Idaho Building Contractors Association in southwest Idaho, the state’s most populous area said. “(Builders) are running at a breakneck pace right now.”

For both states, which have long been lightly populated, the expansion comes with rapid economic growth, sparking concerns about strains on infrastructure, rising housing prices and a sharp increase in the cost of living that could threaten the area’s quality of life in the long term.

As the states tucked between the Rocky Mountains and the West Coast enter the next decade, leaders will have to wrestle with how to keep the growth rolling without letting costs spiral out of control for individual households or straining the natural resources that help draw people to the area.

The majority of Idaho’s growth, about 60%, has been driven by people moving into the state from 2010 to 2019, according to data from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.

One in five of those came from California, many of them retirees seeking lower housing prices and some of the most pristine wilderness in the continental U.S. The biggest growth driver in Utah, by contrast, is new births.

As home to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a faith that puts a high value on family, Utah has long been among the states with the highest birth rate, largest households and youngest overall population: 31 years old compared to 38 in the U.S. as a whole in 2019.

While the fertility rate has slowed a bit in recent years, natural growth still accounts for about 70% of the state’s boom.

“We’re still a lot younger and we still have more kids than most states,” Mallory Bateman, a senior research analyst at the University of Utah’s Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute, said.

In-migration was also strong.

The state added tech jobs and the landscape of snowy mountains and five national parks promised a

strong work-life balance. The state clocked a growth rate of 18.4%, more than double the national rate.

That growth has helped power the state’s largest economic expansion, increased tourism and expanded the middle class. Amid the massive economic upheaval wrought by the coronavirus pandemic, both Utah and Idaho have been ranked among states with the lowest unemployment rates.

But with that good news comes strain. In 2019, Utah housing prices surged nearly 11%, while incomes rose less than 4%. That trend has accelerated during the pandemic as people spending more time at home look to move to larger spaces while fewer people are putting their houses up for sale.

It is making it harder for young Utah families to follow the path their parents took. Matthew Clewett, 26, and his wife, Bethany, want to have a large family like the ones they grew up in, but high housing costs could put a serious damper on that plan. The couple bid on at least 10 houses in northern Utah before they could close on a starter home for themselves and their infant daughter in March.

“That was the American Dream back then: You got a job, you got married…and you didn’t really have to have a ton of money to be able to afford a home,” Clewett, who is the public policy director of the Salt Lake Board of Realtors, said. “Nowadays, it’s much harder...for the millennial generation to get into a property.”

The roots of Utah’s housing crisis go back in part to the Great Recession, when many older construction workers decided to get out of the business after the crash of 2008. The labor shortage persisted even as the economy improved and demand for housing increased, said Dejan Eskic, a researcher with the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute who studies housing. There’s also less land available to build on.

“For the majority of middleclass Americans, their wealth is tied up in their home. It’s been like that for decades,” Eskic said. “If you’re not able to get into a home, how do you build your household wealth and set your family up?”

Utah Rep. Jennifer DaileyProvost, a Democrat, has watched many of her middle-class neighbors leave downtown Salt Lake City over the past two decades as the cost of living increases.

“If you are a dual-income family but your income is less than $150,000 to $200,000, you can’t afford a house,” she said. “Nobody should have to struggle to live on that kind of money.”

Lawmakers in the GOP-dominated state took some steps toward addressing the housing crisis this year, setting aside millions for increasing and preserving affordable housing.

The growth also has provoked some political upheaval in the deeply conservative state. In recent years, voters have bucked Republican lawmakers, passing citizen-initiated liberal measures including the legalization of medical marijuana and Medicaid expansion. Still, few expect Utah to turn blue anytime soon. State lawmakers have already passed stricter rules for ballot measures and the lone congressional Democrat was voted out of office last year.

Similarly, Idaho’s growth has

yet to cause major shifts in what is one of the most conservative political climates in the nation. Both Utah and Idaho have grown more racially and ethnically diverse over the past decade, but remain less so than the nation as a whole.

For new northern Idaho resident Derrell Hartwick, beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities were big draws to Coeur d’Alene. He first visited the area in the early 2010s, then moved there from Arkansas in late 2019 after landing a job as the president and CEO of the Coeur d’Alene Regional

Chamber of Commerce. “Once I came back for the interview, I fell in love with it and was hoping and praying for the opportunity,” he said.

Ridler reported from Boise.

Why the Big Ten Still Matter – Part 2

Zachary Elliott SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Growing up, I was taught to call people by their proper name.

Using Mr., Mrs. or Miss was an everyday occurrence. It was a sign of respect and honor for those who were older than me.

To call anyone older than me by their fir t name wa con idered rude and disrespectful.

I know times have changed, and our culture doesn’t view it as disrespectful to call your neighbor or your boss by their first name. But do you know what culture hasn’t changed? The way we are supposed to use God’s name.

Last week we started looking at the fir t two of God Big en the Ten Commandments.

Today we’re going to look at Commandments three and four and why the Big Ten still matters.

3. Don’t misuse the name of the Lord your God. God told Moses in his Big Ten, “ You shall not misuse the name of

the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.” ( Exodus 20:7) Sadly, God’s name is drug through the mud daily. It’s used as a swear word, something we say when we’re shocked or panicked, and a way in which we damn people to hell.

Needless to say, this is very disrespectful to God, and he doesn’t like it. His name is to be held as holy and is to be worshiped. It’s “ a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe.” ( Proverbs 18:10) In fact, “ There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.” ( Acts 4:12) God’s name and the name of J esus have the power to save and the power to command worship.

As it says in Philippians 2:1011, “ at the name of J esus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that J esus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

One day everyone will bow the knee to J esus. Even you. How will the way you used his name be remembered?

4. Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.

God said, “ Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God.” ( Exodus 20:8) God set a pattern for us to follow from the very beginning, and it included a day of rest. It started all the way back when God created the heavens and the earth.

Genesis 2:1-2 says, “ So the creation of the heavens and the earth and everything in them was completed. On the seventh day God had fini hed hi wor of creation so he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation.”

There is a whole lot we could talk about in regards to having a sabbath rest. The Bible lets us know that God takes the sabbath rest very seriously. So much so that we find our eternal re t in J esus Christ, our savior.

But let me just break it down simply for you. You need a day off to re t and to wor hip. hat the bottom line.

Simply put, if God took a day of rest, we should follow his example. It doesn’t matter what day you choose because all days are holy to the Lord. “ So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come.

And Christ himself is that reality.” ( Colossians 2:16-17) a e a da off to re t and to worship. God knows you need it.

That’s why he created the Sabbath for us.

Think about it: How are you using God’s name?

How can you change your vocabulary?

What day can you take to rest and worship?

Verse of the Day: “ So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or

for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come.

And Christ himself is that reality.” ( Colossians 2:16-17) Z achary Elliott is the lead pas-

Our country calls it the national bird. Its image appears on currency, coins and stamps. This regal

bird is noted for strength, bravery and cunning. Admired for these qualities, the Cahuilla call the bald eagle Aswet. Sometimes they are seen above Anza and Lake Hemet.

The Escondido Creek Conser-

vancy says that bald eagles have soared in the skies near Lake Wohlford, with sightings reported beginning in about 2019. These images of a bald eagle cavorting above the lake were captured

April 25.

More than 200 years ago, the bald eagle population in the United States was estimated to be between 300,000 to 500,000 individual see EAGLE, page AVO-3

Pinyon Pines man sentenced to 143 years to life for molesting young relative City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

PINYON PINES - A Pinyon Pines man was sentenced Friday, April 30, to 143 years to life in state prison for molesting an underage relative over the course of more than eight years.

An Indio jury deliberated two days in December before finding Stanford James Stelle III, 42, guilty of 13 felonies: six counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child, one count of committing sex acts on a child under 10 years old and three counts each of oral copulation on a minor and lewd acts on a child under 14 years by using force.

Stelle, who was arrested in 2015, sexually assaulted the girl from 2003, when she was 5 years old, until 2012, when she was 13, according to prosecutors.

The victim, now in her early 20s, cried as she addressed the

defendant during his sentencing hearing at the Larson Justice Center in Indio.

“Stan, you know it’s true and it hurts that you are not telling the truth,’’ she said, reading a brief statement she prepared. “You took my security away from me, and it just hurts, but I want you to know, for my sake, I forgive you.

If I don’t, I will never move on.’’

The young woman was the first witness to be called for the prosecution when the trial got underway in November. She detailed to the jury her experience, saying the acts of molestation were weekly occurrences.

“He told me it was normal, that it happened in every family,’’ she said. Deputy District Attorney Gypsy Yeager played for jurors a recording of a phone call in which Stelle can be heard apologizing to her while attempting downplay what she experienced.

“I would go back in a time ma-

chine if I could,’’ Stelle told her in the March 2015 call. “Nothing was worth making you feel bad. I never thought you would.’’

He can also be heard referring to another family member who endured similar assaults when she was younger in an attempt to calm the victim down when she was crying.

“It’s not all that uncommon. It’s pretty normal ... it happens all the time,’’ he said.

Despite being prodded to divulge additional information, Stelle refused to go into much detail over the phone, but at no time – according to the audio clips played by the prosecution – did he deny sexually assaulting her.

The victim handed over the recording to Riverside County sheriff’s investigators, and charges were filed against the 6-foot-5inch-tall defendant 10 days later.

The defendant took the stand in his own defense in his trial,

testifying that the charges against him stemmed from a blackmail scheme perpetrated by the victim’s methamphetamine-addicted mother.

“She told me I could afford $100,000 because it was going to cost a lot more than that if I went to jail,’’ Stelle said.

Defense attorney John Patrick Dolan also told jurors that the allegations were concocted by the girl’s drug-addicted mother.

Dolan alleged she had sought – unsuccessfully – to extort vast sums of money from his client because he is the beneficiary of a trust worth a considerable amount of money.

Dolan unsuccessfully sought a new trial for Stelle just before the sentence was handed down Friday, alleging his client suffered from mental illness.

Stelle was previously found mentally incompetent to stand trial and was transferred to a state

mental hospital for treatment.

Criminal proceedings were later restarted after the court found his competency had been restored.

According to Yeager, the abuse came to light when the victim was 16 years old. The victim and her mother were having a conversation two days before Thanksgiving 2014 about her interest in dating an older man at the time, the prosecutor said.

The mother eventually alerted law enforcement after several counseling sessions with the victim, the defendant and other family members, the prosecutor said.

One of the last acts occurred during a birthday party for a 91-year-old relative, according to court papers.

“For me this has been my whole life,’’ the victim said in court Friday. “I don’t know anything else.’’

two eggs are laid in late winter or early spring, and incubation takes about 35 days. Chicks fledge when they are 11 or 12 weeks old, and soon leave the nest under the strict guidance of their parents.

California’s resident bald eagle breeding pairs remain in the state during the winter, typically in their established hunting territories. Additionally, hundreds of migratory birds spend the winter in California, arriving during fall and early winter. These eagles may remain until February or March, or even into April.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, fewer than 30 nesting pairs remained in California.

Bald eagles prey on a variety of small animals, fish and waterfowl.

Besides hunting prey, they also eat carrion when available.

The most significant threat to survival of the bald eagle was the widespread use of the pesticide DDT, which caused abnormalities in bald eagle eggshells, resulting in widespread nesting failures.

Other reasons for the decline in the eagles’ population included habitat loss from development, agriculture, timber harvest, other pesticides and contaminants including lead poisoning from bullets ingested with their prey, human disturbances, electrocution and collision at power lines, and shootings.

The bald eagle was added to the federal endangered species list in 1967 and to the California list of endangered species in 1971.

Although the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service removed the bird from endangered status in 2007, it is still protected by the Migra-

tory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Both laws prohibit killing, selling or harming eagles, their nests or eggs. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently revised a final rule on two new permit regulations that would allow for the taking of eagles and eagle nests under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. However, the bald eagle is classified as a “fully protected bird” under California law.

Protection of nesting areas, restrictions on pesticides and other special wildlife management actions have allowed the bald eagle population to rebound from the lows of previous decades.

The Escondido Creek Conservancy advises people to keep a safe distance from eagle nests.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recommends keeping a minimum distance of 330 feet from any nest during the nesting season.

The future looks bright for the bald eagle in California and in the nation. The growing population of eagles allows more people to see them, and the best time to observe these predatory birds is in the winter, between December and March, when large numbers of migratory and resident eagles congregate at feeding areas, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

EAGLE from page AVO-1 birds. But due to habitat loss, hunting and food contamination from the pesticide DDT, numbers dwindled to about 500 nesting pairs in the 1970s. With help from the Endangered Species Act and the banning of certain pesticides, bald eagle populations have rebounded in recent decades. Currently there are about 5,000 nesting pairs of bald eagles in the country.

Bald eagles range exclusively in North America and northwest Mexico. In winter, they may be seen throughout most of California’s lakes, reservoirs, rivers, grasslands and wetlands. The birds’ breeding habitats are mainly in mountain forests near bodies of water.

Bald eagles can live for decades in the wild. A breeding pair may stay together until one member dies and the surviving bird may find a new mate.

Eagles build large stick nests in the upper reaches of the tallest trees they can find. The birds may repair the same nest each year, or build an entirely new nest.

In most of California, the breeding season takes place from January through July or August. One or

Sheriffs arrest felon, discover guns and drugs Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

Riverside County sheriffs apprehended a felon by noticing sparks coming from a vehicle and performing a traffic stop.

In the early morning hours of April 29, a deputy assigned to the mountain communities observed a truck traveling on State Hwy. 371 in Anza. According to a sheriff’s department spokesman, the truck caught the deputy’s eye when it was observed emitting large amounts of sparks from under the vehicle. The deputy also noticed that the truck displayed what appeared to be a homemade registration decal.

A traffic stop was initiated and

the driver yielded at the Cahuilla Casino. A records check revealed a felony warrant for the driver and only occupant, Timothy Holloway of Anza, a felon. A records check of the truck’s Vehicle Identification Number revealed that the truck had been reported stolen in the Perris area.

During a search of the truck, a loaded handgun was found under the driver’s seat. Additionally, Holloway was found to be in possession of methamphetamine. He was booked into custody based on several felony violations and the owner of the truck will be reunited with the stolen vehicle.

“Hemet Sheriff’s Station personnel are dedicated to the safety of the citizens we serve, and efforts

like this will continue,” said a department spokesman.

The goal of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department is to keep all citizens safe while also improving the quality of life for those residing within the community.

If you suspect drug activity in your area, please contact your local sheriff’s station. The Hemet Sheriff’s Station can be reached at (951) 791-3400 and the San Jacinto Sheriff’s Station can be reached at (951) 654-2702.

In a 5-0 vote, the Board of Supervisors signed off on universal 2.2% fee increases sought by the four waste haulers under contract with the county – Burrtec Waste, CR&R Inc., Desert Valley Disposal and Waste Management Inc. According to Department of Environmental Health Director Keith Jones, the adjustments were necessary to keep pace with inflation and cover higher landfill expenses. Jones said the increases reflect changes to the consumer price index throughout the Los Angeles metropolitan area in 2020.

The Burrtec hike will add about $1.46 to customers’ bills, while residents serviced by CR&R will be saddled with a roughly $1 increase per month. Desert Valley Disposal’s increase will amount to about 50 cents, and an equal additional sum will be charged by Waste Management for residential collections.

The board reviews refuse retrieval rates almost every year.

Last year, Supervisor Kevin Jeffries opposed the increases,

arguing that financial hardships tied to the public health lockdowns made it an inopportune time to hike fees on county residents, however small the hikes might be. The increases were approved in 2020 despite his opposition.

Waste collection for the county occurs in defined “franchise areas,” which currently number 11 and encompass communities such as Cabazon, Desert Center, East Hemet, Lakeland Village, Thermal and Thousand Palms. Most of the existing franchise agreements have been in place for just over 20 years.

The inflationary adjustments to the fees were based on fluctuations in the CPI between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2020. The majority of residents pay between $24 and $38 per month for service, for which they’re billed quarterly, according to county officials.

The cost for commercial accounts ranges from $74 to $1,900 per month, and businesses will also pay an additional 2.2% in fees charged by the waste haulers.

Sacred Heart Catholic Church sign receives renovation

The Sacred Heart Catholic Church sign sports new colors and a fresh paint job.

The part of the sign stating the Mass schedule is expanded and rejuvenated with fresh paint.

Anza Valley Outlook/ D i ane S i eker p h otos

Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

The Sacred Heart Catholic Church announced the renovation and upgrading of its sign April 27.

CLINIC f r om p ag e AVO- 1 Donahue said. “The second doses are on the schedule for May 17 and 21. We are moving forward in requesting flyers for these dates.”

According to Riverside County Public Health, a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine is one of the most important tools to end the COVID-19 pandemic. California is planning to distribute and administer vaccines as quickly as possible.

Vaccine safety has been reviewed and approved by top health experts. The initial vaccine supply was limited, and California made sure that these first vaccines were distributed and administered equitably.

The first vaccines were provided to health care workers and resi-

Isabelle and Paulina Galindo invested time, materials and love into redoing the time-worn wooden sign. With rejuvenated colors, new artwork and an updated Mass schedule in place, it is once again

A third person was identified April 28 as an alleged perpetrator in the 2019 fatal shooting of a 64-year-old man who interrupted a break-in at his Anza home, where he was cultivating marijuana for sale.

James Max Robinson, 40, of San Bernardino allegedly joined 46-year-old Jodi Lynn Miller of Rancho Cucamonga and 40-yearold Jesse Robert Thurbush of Victorville in the 2019 slaying of James Cidney Brown.

Robinson was arrested Tuesday and booked on suspicion of murder at the San Bernardino Central Detention Center, where he’s being held for an unrelated felony offense in San Bernardino County, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

Thurbush is also behind bars there, being held without bail.

Miller is being held without bail at the Smith Correctional Facility in Banning.

Miller and Thurbush are both charged with first-degree murder, burglary, a special circumstance allegation of killing in the course of a burglary and sentence-enhancing gun and great bodily injury allegations. Robinson’s case is being reviewed by prosecutors.

According to sheriff ’s Sgt.

Wally Clear, the threesome, and possibly others who have yet to be identified, allegedly forced their way into Brown’s home in the 39000 block of El Toro Road on the night of Nov. 3, 2019.

When the victim confronted them, the defendants allegedly opened fire with handguns, killing him on the spot.

Clear alleged that Brown was using his property to illegally cultivate marijuana, and the defendants evidently intended to steal raw and processed products.

It is unclear how much they allegedly stole.

The victim’s body was discovered hours later.

After Central Homicide Unit detectives searched the grounds, the illegal grow was razed, and all remaining cannabis was seized and destroyed, according to Clear.

The investigation spanned almost 18 months before Miller and Thurbush were identified as alleged perpetrators and arrested earlier this month.

According to court records, Miller has a prior felony conviction in another jurisdiction, but it was not specified. Court records show Thurbush has a prior conviction for burglary. However, no information was available regarding Robinson’s background.

Improve your metabolism for overall health Debi Barnett Foli STRAIGHTNUTRITION.COM

What is metabolism?

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% to 75% of total caloric 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. This is rarely the case. However, there are ways to improve your metabolism which will increase the number of calories you burn. Let’s take a closer look at a few.

Exercise If there is one thing that you have complete control over it is the amount of physical activity you get. It is as simple as this: 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 farther away so you have to walk more, doing housework or washing your car - all can provide extra movement.

How your diet affects your metabolism 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 yoyo 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 puts stress on your immune system. Experts say 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, even red meat are good sources of protein. (Be sure to limit or avoid beef if the ferritin levels in your blood are too high; this 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 a lot of 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. This 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 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 then normal cellular function can be disrupted and this can lead to illness and disease. This 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, or that their hormones are imbalanced, or they think they have adrenal fatigue. However, if you just address one factor, you may miss the underlying cause; which is 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. You don’t just want to chase the symptoms because you may miss the actual cause. This is what proper advanced testing can do. Schedule a consultation with your experienced nutritionist today to stop guessing.

The Science Based Nutrition ™ Service includes: • You will complete a symptom survey.

• Providing us with your vitals, height, weight and primary concerns.

• Labcorp, Inc. will draw blood and will take a hair sample to send to Doctor’s Data, Inc. • Urine tests are done at home or in the lab and a stool test is done in the privacy of your home.
