Seeds for Cultivating Inclusion, A Community Farming Project, were planted in 2015 when a hand-

ful of mothers who had children with special needs wanted to create a space that could provide day programs for special needs adults. Julia Carona, Samantha Morton, Doreen Camerota and Laura Va-

lencia knew that all too often adults with special needs do not get the opportunity to reach their full potential. Garden Director Mary Ann Tams said the parents worked together on a plan where clients

could learn something useful and potentially marketable. “Through a good relationship with the city of Murrieta, (the see GARDEN, page A-4

When Jody DeSimone, known online as Girlgraphix, posted a 45-second video on her TikTok account in March, she did not expect for it to go viral and become an all-consuming mission for her. She invited her followers to contact her if they needed a friend or someone to simply check in on them from time to time and thousands of TikTokers have taken her up on that offer. “I am meant to connect with people and remind them who they are, what they are worth, and how to connect deeper within themselves,” she said. “I came here to love anyone willing to accept it as hard as humanly possible.” DeSimone is responding to approximately 200 messages a day via text and phone calls but vows to get back to each person who Murrieta TikToker Jody DeSimone, who created a video that has gone viral, reminds others of their worth.

Menifee Capital Improvement Projects prioritized for 2021/2022 Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Menifee City Council, in a continuing workshop May 5, prioritized a number of Capital Improvement Projects it sees will be coming in the 2021/2022 budget. The Menifee city staff is now working on the proposed budget to be presented to the council before the recommended next fiscal year June 30 budget deadline. Several workshops, open to the public, were held in the city council chambers to place the number and priorities of either completed, in progress or planned projects in the next few years. Capital Improvement Projects, or CIPs, are major to minor projects dealing with the city’s infrastructure, community services, police and fire protection, administration, public facilities, state and federal mandated items, environment and other matters to ensure the security and public safety for an incorporated community. They are financed by property taxes, development infrastructure fees, gas taxes, city sales taxes, state and federal taxes, grants and invest-

ment returns. During the May 5 meeting, Bob Karwin said the major concern in prioritizing the upcoming 2021 and 2022 CIP projects should be the public safety of the entire community. The council was provided a list of CIP projects completed or nearly completed and financed, those that should be completed with financing in the next fiscal year and those needed in the future. They were asked by the staff preparing the new budget what should be the priorities for 2021 through 2022 and the costs and the money for them now available. The council in the workshop decided the following projects by category and costs would have the highest priority in budget for the next fiscal year since they are already, or will be, funded: Public Facilities Projects Police station parking lot upgrades; police station upgrades; park and facility multi‐use building and council chambers window upgrade; a fuel station at old Fire Station 5 and the acquisition or a location for a new Fire Station 5. There is $7,040,000 set aside for the projects in the proposed

2021/2022 CIP budget. Transportation Projects Holland Road Overpass, Bradley Bridge over Salt Creek and McCall Blvd/I‐215 Interchange; Scott Road/ Bundy Canyon Road widening; Garbani Road/ I‐215 Interchange; Goetz Road and Valley Boulevard widening (Murrieta Road to Chambers Road); McCall Blvd. (Woodside‐Menifee) and Bailey Blvd. widening. Total amount expected to be budgeted is $21,064,631. The Holland Overpass is the highest cost project planned with $10,415,368 budgeted. The total cost of the project is $30,685,177 with the remainder being sought through federal or state highway grants. Traffic Signal Projects Menifee and Garbani roads. Total cost of all signal projects, $1,433,690 most available. Street Improvement Projects Normandy Road Improvements (La Ladera Road to Berea Road); Menifee Road (McCall Blvd to Hwy 74). Cost $510,000. Costs covered. Pavement Management Projects Menifee Road Resurfacing and median improvements, Holland Road

Drainage Projects There are nine projects listed for a total of $18,763,000 but none have been funded and are not listed for the 2021/2022 budget. Street Lighting Projects There are three projects listed but none have been funded for the coming fiscal year but could be as developers increase in the areas of Romoland, Quail Valley and Vista Way and Casa Bonita Drive The council was told that some of the other projects listed, more than 50, could still be placed in the budget as financing and grants come into the city. There were 12 now funded or near funded under construction at the time of the first workshop. Design Plans are underway on many of the projects including the most costly: the Holland Street Overpass. City staff in the first CIP workshop

on April 19 said, “CIP considerations, priorities, and funding sources were reviewed. Staff provided a status update of the current fiscal year CIP including 17 projects completed and 35 projects in progress consisting of 12 under construction and 23 that are in the design phase.” In addition, the staff explained the project’s progress in 24 proposed projects and vehicles and needed equipment acquisitions for Fiscal Year 2021/2022. The project proposals were based on prior direction from the city council, specified funding availability, along with overall CIP priorities including urgency, health, safety and welfare of the community. The proposal represented a capital investment of more than $32 million. A complete CIP project list as seen by the city council can be found on the city’s website under the Special Meeting May 5 agenda. Tony Ault can be reached at tault@ reedermedia.com.

Temecula City Council calls for repaving Pauba Road and Butterfield Stage Road Joe Naiman WRITER

Pauba Road and Butterfield Stage Road will be repaved. A 4-0 Temecula City Council vote April 27, with mayor Maryann Edwards abstaining due to the proximity of the improvements to her property, approved the specifications for the road rehabilitation work, authorized the county’s Department of Public Works to solicit construction bids, and found the project categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review. The work will rehabilitate the full width of Pauba Road from Margarita Road (other than the intersection) to Butterfield Stage Road and will rehabilitate the full width of Butterfield Stage Road from 405 feet south of De Portola Road to 230 feet south of Rancho California Road.

The rehabilitation will consist of the cold milling of two to 3 inches of the existing pavement, placement of asphalt concrete surface, reconstruction of ramps which will meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards, adjustment of utilities to compatible grades, replacement of striping, new protected bicycle lanes, pavement markers and traffic signal loops. The work is expected to take approximately seven months. The estimated cost of the road work is $3,800,000. Revenue from the Road Repair and Accountability Act, which was passed by the state Legislature in 2017 and raised the gas tax by 12 cents per gallon while raising annual vehicle registration fees from $25 to $175 based on vehicle value, will be used to fund the costs and various utility companies will reimburse the Riverside County for work involving utilities.

Proposed operating budget draft presented to Murrieta City Council Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

At its regular meeting May 6, Murrieta City Council members heard a Budget Workshop update from the city’s Finance Director Javier Carcamo and Jennifer Terry, Sr. Financial Analyst on the drafted operating budget for fiscal years 2021/22 and 2022/23. After the FY 2020/21 operating budget had to be amended due to unexpected changes brought about by the novel coronavirus pandemic, every attempt was made to draft budgets that would adhere to the council’s goal of maintaining a high performing organization

CONNECTION from page A-1 reached out to her as quickly as possible. However, she recently woke up to more than 700 texts and has acquired an automated service to help her organize all the messages she continues to receive. The motivation behind her “I Got You” video came from people reaching out to her through chat and talking with her about their struggles. One of those conversations made her realize the influence that her account could potentially have to help others. “I just decided to get vulnerable and put myself out there hoping to help a few people,” DeSimone said. “That’s when I posted that video. I’ve lived most of my life doing this in my day to day, so this was just another platform to expand on. I had been struggling with the fact that my page was full of ego, flirting, and processing my own emotions in a flirty, playful way. There is so much more to me, but I wasn’t sure how to add that in. That video was the moment when my ego met my spiritual side.” She said she expected to get a few thousand views and a handful of comments but as of the end of April, the views had topped 209,000 and continue to grow. DeSimone has been on TikTok for about a year and said in the past she has had a few posts that had 10,000 views and a couple that almost hit 20,000. “When someone is not doing anything for gain and with their whole heart, it’s hard to turn away from it,” DeSimone said. “People have been stuck indoors, alone, scared and not feeling seen or heard. COVID just magnified any personal issues people already had and then left those souls alone to deal with themselves. I only offered to be there, connect, talk and hear people when they needed it. I’m not a therapist, or doctor of any kind, just someone saying, ‘hey I can hold space for you.’” She thinks she connects with others because they can see her authenticity in a world that is overshadowed by negativity at times. “The majority of what I do is via text that come and go all day long,” DeSimone said. “I get on calls when people are in dire need or personally ask for me to do so.” Most of her followers are from the United States, but she gets texts and calls from all over the world and uses WhatsApp for her international friends. The demographics of her followers are about 70% female and 30% male with an average age range from 21 and 55. “Feedback comes in all forms,” DeSimone said. “All of these people send notes or say how much their life has improved just by being able to vent. I’ve been told that our interactions have saved a life more times than I can count. Yesterday, I was in talks with a guy sitting with a loaded gun. He is still here today.” Her online moniker refers to the multiple, detailed tattoos she started getting when she was about 20 years old. “My arms are my totems; they tell a long in-depth story about my life, my lessons and my beliefs. I have a deep belief and understanding with energy, you can see it all over me,” she said. “I love selfexpression and my tattoos have allowed me to do just that. I have an amazing artist who has done the majority of mine. He has become like a brother to me, one of my own spiritual guides. His name is Aaron Riddle and his Instagram is aaronriddletattoos.” DeSimone said her 6-year-old son, Venice, spent three years in a Montessori school before the pandemic. He began doing online school from home via Zoom and it wasn’t working for him. She registered herself as a home school, got a curriculum and he is now excelling. She said he completed 95% of the kindergarten curriculum in two months’ time. “I do immense amounts of self-

that values fiscal sustainability, transparency, accountability and organizational efficiency. Finance Department representatives read through the drafts of the proposed biennial operating budget and requested review and comment. The budget is projected to use available unassigned fund balance from the General Fund and Measure T Fund to maintain a structurally balanced budget. A biennial budget is considered structurally balanced when, over the course of two fiscal years, ongoing revenues equal ongoing expenditures, with a limited use of one-time revenues, such as unassigned fund balance.

The proposed operating budget for all funds for FY 2021/22 is $130,231,055 and $137,866,288 for FY 2022/23. The budget workshop provides the city council and the public with the opportunity to ask questions and provide comments on the proposed budget while it is in draft form. At the conclusion of the workshop, staff will take the council’s input and incorporate any desired changes into the proposed budget. A second budget workshop is tentatively scheduled for May 18, if needed. Staff anticipates bringing the Proposed Operating Budget before the council for adoption June 1. The next regular city council

care in order to stay balanced and be able to give to the capacity I do,” she said. “I have certain things I must do so I can give from a place of fullness, not emptiness. I have to stay active, meditate, get the right amount of sleep, drink enough water and stay active in my own emotional processing. I work hard at my own kind of balance so that I can be 100% for my son and others.” DeSimone is planning to take a road trip to meet with other TikTokers and continue to connect with others. She is currently revamping her camper and plans to travel first to Washington state to visit her parents. “My son will be with me. He is going to be home-schooled for the rest of kindergarten and through first grade, most likely,” she said. She owns a marketing and web development company called DeSimone Global Marketing and has more than 20 years of marketing

experience in various areas, including consulting, web development, social media, branding and more. She is also an experienced Tarot Reader. Her fellow TikTokers are helping her plan part of her trip and she is working with Venice to create an educational itinerary that includes fun things such as visits to National Parks and local, touristy attractions. She is funding the trip herself but said she has been contacted by television producers who may want to turn her tour into a reality show. To reach out to DeSimone, followers can text the word LOVE to (844) 469-8276. After the initial two automated welcome messages, they will receive a personal call or text from her a short while later, along with personalized ‘check-ins’ throughout the month. She can also be reached through #teamloveologist, #LoveYouMore and #TheLoveologist.

meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. May 18. Further information about how to access the meeting can be

found on the agenda when it is posted at onbase.murrietaca.gov/ onbaseagendaonline.

LOCAL GARDEN from page A-1 women) were offered to take over a community garden to realize their dream of a vocational program set around growing produce,” Tams said, adding they are thankful to the city for leasing the entire property to them. Tams, who has been a volunteer since 2015 and director since 2018, said the garden space allows for adults with special needs to have an agricultural experience by planting and nurturing produce, from seed to harvest. She said the experience offers opportunities to also grow friendships, hone socialization skills and have a cooperative alliance take place. “We have been fortunate to have had a master gardener come and truly lead the way with what to plant and where,” she said. “The master gardeners put together a planting schedule for us that is easy to follow and understand. Their help is vital, and we appreciate their information and advice very much.” As garden director, Tams maintains the farm with help and advice from interested individuals and current board members. She said being consistent is key in order to keep a planting schedule to coincide with the seasons. She is at the site

at least twice a week and tries to be involved with every aspect of the nearly three-acre farm that includes a grove of lemon, orange, grapefruit and some freestone peach trees. Many farm events “This community of parents and their children has grown and flourished with the advent of social media and activities offered by both Murrieta and Temecula,” Tams said. She said about 20 to 50 people visit the farm on a regular basis for either a special event, to volunteer or to earn community service hours. Once a month, fun and games are scheduled for the public to join in. A recent event April 22 included planting, a scavenger hunt, crafts and a lesson about the origins of Earth Day and how it has evolved over the years. Tams’ 24-year-old daughter, Kateri, was a client at Care Rite Vocational Program until the pandemic and often would visit and work the farm on a typical workday with others from the program. It was one of several organizations that would take clients to the farm with their job coaches. Tams said she is looking forward to seeing everyone back when it is allowable and safe and anticipates their return by midsummer. Kateri of Temecula likes being

outdoors, mulching and sweeping and working beside her friends. Her favorite vegetables she’s grown are potatoes, tomatoes and beets. She is at the garden with her mother every chance she gets. Tams said the farm’s ongoing relationships with local schools has been great. “Most recently I was contacted by the workability coordinator from Murrieta Valley Unified School District, who was able to send over three different classes of their Adult Transition Program,” she said. “I was so happy to hear from her and currently we have wonderful teachers and students regularly visiting, working and learning.” Five ATP classes Kimberly Bovy is a job developer for MVUSD Adult Transition students and said there are five classes at ATP that have all participated at one time or another since the farm began. The pandemic affected visits, but they presently have two small classes going once a week. “I have seen the students learn many things at the farm, from planting to cultivating to creating art,” Bovy said. “The volunteers there are amazing and always treat our students with the utmost respect and inclusion. This place has grown so much from what I remember it being at the start. We are all very

thankful for the opportunity for our students to gain this experience they would not otherwise get from any of the other businesses we work with.” Nicholas Van Deusen is a special education teacher for the Adult Transition Program who has had about seven of his students participate at Cultivating Inclusion. Good experiences “The firsthand experiences I have witnessed include watching the students immersing themselves into science and the natural world,” he said. “They have a sense of awe and wonder each time they work. The atmosphere at the farm is both encouraging and fun. The students work at various activities such as harvesting, watering, planting and soil cultivation. My students look forward to attending because Mary Ann not only makes it an empowering experience, but because they are getting connected back to the land in a way that is both healthy and rewarding.” Sarah Robbins from Murrieta Summit ATP typically takes groups of three to five students to work at the farm. She said that in addition to students learning general gardening skills, they are working on building their stamina at a job site and learning how to work together and to ask for help and/or supplies. Tams said, “Together, along with peer teens and adult volunteers, we cultivate inclusion of our special needs population into a cooperative atmosphere of a working farm and garden. In addition, all foods grown at the farm are donated to

local food banks.” In the past year, gardeners have harvested several types of lettuce, kale and Swiss chard. Currently, there is a row of corn planted, some blueberry bushes, onions, okra, parsnips and zucchini; tomatoes are on the way. Tams said a lot of citrus was produced earlier this year and was donated to the Community Mission of Hope, Western Eagle, Murrieta Food Bank and St. Vincent de Paul. Weekly donations reached 3,000 pounds of food donated this past year through weekly drop-offs. Al Trevisan, president of the nonprofit St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry in Temecula, said the group is very blessed to be included in weekly contributions of fresh greens from the garden. He said the pantry’s volunteers assemble and distribute 50 to 60 food boxes each Friday to needy families and individuals in the community, amounting to about 200-250 people. The addition of fresh produce is much appreciated. Volunteers needed Tams said the greatest need for now is more dedicated volunteers who can commit to at least one day a week for two hours. With the size of the farm and the number of gardeners that are being trained, she said more caring volunteers would be an answer to prayer. The community farming project is a nonprofit organization at 39775 Alta Murrieta Drive in Murrieta. For more information, (951) 2967756, www.cultivatinginclusionfarm.com or on Facebook.

Romoland and Paloma Valley library branches to close for relocation As the Riverside County Library System prepares to move into the new Menifee Library on LaPiedra Road, doors of the neighboring Romoland and Paloma Valley branches will be closed permanently to centrally combine and offer full library services to the community of Menifee.

We all know that having a goal of 10,000 steps per day is a great help for our physical well being. Also proper diet, plenty of sleep, exercise and all of that. I always feel better when I know I am doing all I can to stay fit. Sometimes though, we still have health challenges.. and then AGING happens to us all hopefully. It is during the health challenges and worn out joints that I am just amazed at the advancements and revolutionized processes used today in surgeries and recovery periods. Plenty of Praise and thanks go to the health professionals and doctors, nurses, surgeons and everyone in the health care industry..I appreciate all that has been done for me and for my well being. Thank You!! – Ken

The San Jacinto city staff was working to revise and send out its updated emergency operation plan while the Building Industry Association may be out changing old housing opportunity kiosks throughout the city with the San Jacinto City Council’s approval this week. The city council met May 4 to review the city’s somewhat outdated emergency operations plan in the event of a major incident and will send it to Federal Emergency Management Agency for their approval as required. The draft of the new San Jacinto Emergency Operations Plan for 2021 showed that in almost any emergency the decisions to take apSCHOLAR from page A-1 will help students continue to hone their leadership skills, prepare for professional life, and start building an enduring network of fellow Scholars and other distinguished individuals. Recipients will also have access to a range of support services that include mentoring, leadership development, wellness, career guidance and internship and job opportunities. Gonzalez, of San Jacinto, will attend a mandatory, four-day virtual conference in June to participate in workshops and social activities designed to prepare and inspire students for their first year of college and beyond. “I am super excited because I will meet so many bright minds who are determined to fix the Earth’s wounds,” he said. A Western Center Academy student since sixth grade, Gonzalez received acceptance letters from many prestigious private schools such as Harvard, Yale and Dartmouth and four University of California and four California State University schools. “Harvard is where I decided I would excel the best. I needed a school that would challenge me because what is life without a challenge?” he said. “Also, a school that would provide me with thousands of

propriate action would be made by the city manager with all members of the city staff including council members having the authority to take emergency action and provide help when needed. San Jacinto City Manager Rob Johnson, in the recent COVID-19 pandemic, followed state and county emergency operations’ directions to close the city hall and encourage residents to stay home, wear masks and keep their social distance. The city council was asked to let the residents know the status of the emergency operations and offer help as needed as the pandemic progressed using the city OEC and working with the county and state EOCs, the police, fire departments and assigned hospitals. The city will soon reopen many of its offices with

the change in COVID-19 tier to a lower status. Since then, Riverside County, California and all the actions that were prescribed in the city’s own EOC plan now need to be updated and reviewed by state and federal OEC offices. San Jacinto City Attorney Michael Maurer asked the council to approve the draft of the new EOC and send it to the county and state and to adopt a city Federal Emergency Grant Procurement Procedures so the city can be legally eligible for federal compensation for the actions it took and will take in any major disaster or calamity. The council adopted the procedures in a unanimous 5 to 0 vote. In another action, the council approved a resolution for the city

manager to contract with the Building Industry Association to revamp any of the city’s 44 new home kiosks throughout the city showing directions to new homes for interested motorists and pedestrians. Some of the many signs and kiosks are in states of disrepair. Now, the BIA, who contracts with builders, will replace or rejuvenate the signage at no cost to the city. Contracting the kiosk repairs to the BIA will result in the city ending its management proposal with United Communities Network contract. The council said the action is really needed since the city has seen a building boom in the past few years totalling more $150 million and it is continuing to rise.

opportunities and internships.” Since most of the private schools offered the 17-year-old nearly full ride financial aid, he said he based his decision on more niche aspects of the school and community. His favorite subjects have been primarily biology and chemistry, but he also has an interest in art history, so he plans to enter college with an open mind. “I do not want to impede myself from exploring other passions that are locked away,” he said. “Ever since AP (Advanced Placement) Art History in 11th grade, I have fallen in love with the power art has to convey emotions or thoughts; there are no boundaries.” Gonzalez said his school doesn’t do student rankings so he never knew if he was at the top of his class, but it didn’t bother him because he always felt it was more important to focus on himself. “I’m my own competition,” he said. Western Center Academy Executive Director Paul Bailey said the staff is “so incredibly proud of Byron and all of his accomplishments.” “It has been a privilege to see him grow over the past seven years and watch him take every opportunity presented to him,” Bailey said. “He has been a key part of developing the traditions and expectations that we have for our students and community. We look forward to hearing

about all of his future adventures.” Because of COVID-19, many of the extracurricular activities Gonzalez enjoyed were put on hold but as president of WCA’s chapter of the National Honor Society, he has been able to provide for his community with different projects including helping to create a coloring book paired with science activity videos for elementary school students. “The biggest hardship was not being at school (in person),” he said. “I have looked forward to my senior year since freshman year. I was ready to enjoy all the events and dances as a senior. It drained me emotionally and physically because I had no motivation to get up and get into the routine that I have been living through for a year.” As part of the Western Center Academy Academic Decathlon team that competed virtually this year, he helped his team take third place in its division at the national competition, which ended April 30. The school also received the Division IV “Rookie of the Year” distinction. Gonzalez received two more scholarships totaling $500. “Byron had the highest overall point total for our team at Nationals and he was selected by his teammates as our season-long MVP,” Coach Rex McDonald said. Gonzalez is the son of a truck driver and homemaker and has seven

siblings. He said the environment he grew up in contributed to his ability to focus on his academics. “Living in a large family meant fending not only for yourself but those around you,” he said. “That is where I was able to develop some of my passion such as helping others and science. Thus, I took these skills and applied them to my everyday routine.” He said it is vital for him to remain loyal to what he loves and to those who helped him throughout the years. The most important life lesson he plans to take with him to college is “learning when to stop.” “This deals with many aspects of my life,” he said. “It ranges from learning when to stop a grade defining me or when to stop binge eating. Another is removing people from your life that are not beneficial; the impact we have on the world is through relationships.” As far as advice to other students who may be struggling financially, emotionally or academically, Gonzales said to continue to push and not give up. “Do not do it for anyone else. Period. The education that you want to pursue is for you, not anyone else,” he said. “Pursue what makes you happy and continue to push because the people and environment you end up in will open your mind to new dimensions.”

Iron Clad Living Trusts

Quality Estate Planning at the Hands of an Experienced Attorney at a Guaranteed Low Rate Y ou have thought about estate planning for q uite some time. Now is your time to obtain an ironclad comprehensive living trust package at a very aﬀordable price . Secu re your estate, pass on the maxi mum amount of your wealth, protect the beneﬁciary’s inheritance, and avoid the huge costs and delays of probate. Before the inevi table or unexp ect ed happens, email or call Iron Clad Living Trusts!

Q U ESTIONS THAT OU R LIV ING TRU ST LAW Y ER CAN ANSW ER: Can I make my own living trust? Before hiring an estate planning lawyer,

some look at the c heap “ d o-it-yourself” approac h. Generic prepac k aged trusts and sample estate plans are wid ely av ailable on the internet. T hese assembly-line type trusts are ped d led to a mass aud ienc e. O ur typic al c lient is v ery sk illed at what they d o for a liv ing, but most c lients are not of the legal mind to diﬀerentiate fast and convenient trusts from a comprehensive, ironclad living trust. Our pricing struc ture also allows I ronc lad L iv ing T rusts to prov id e you a great trust pac k age at a great pric e.

A will suﬀers from many limitations. Contrary to the belief of many c lients, a will often d oes not av oid the probate of many v aluable assets. F or ex ample, a will that attempts to pass a speciﬁc savings account which holds the sum of $200,000 will be probated. A will also cannot pass title to real property without that will being probated . A rev oc able liv ing trust is the v astly superior means for protec ting your estate and passing on the max imum amount of your wealth.

Which is better a will or a living trust?

Why cannot husband and wife simply keep all assets jointly titled and forget about a Living Trust? T he generational passing of a married c ouples’ assets is v ery important to ac hiev e. I f a liv ing trust is not in plac e, the surv iv ing spouse c an d o whatev er they want with assets, suc h as ad d ing a stranger to title on the family home. A liv ing trust would put the brak es on suc h a sc enario and safeguard against property esc aping the nex t generation. Other protections aﬀorded by a living trust include preservation of the beneﬁciary’s inheritanc e and insulating assets from an estate rec ov ery.

Arrivals and departures at T.H.E. Center in Hemet

T.H .E . Center has a going- away party for one of its therapy horses April 29 . From left, Development Director Anakaren Bradshaw, Board Chair Chris V eltman, W illie, Trainer E milia Pereda and Trainer Jacey W right. Valley News/D iane A. R hod es photos

Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

When staff and board members at Hemet s Therapeutic Horsemanship E uestrian Center (T.H.E. Center) were given the opportunity to rehome one of their horses, they were thrilled to receive another one in return. Willie had provided lessons for special needs children of all ages for the nearly seven years he lived at T.H.E. Center. “He s been a wonderful asset to the center and has helped so many of our children. He has been good natured and patient the entire time,” Executive Director Becky Polk, said. “We are sorry to lose him, but we are very confident that he is going to a wonderful home.” Emilia Pereda volunteered with the center for many years before joining the staff as a trainer two years ago. “Willie is a little too big and

old for most of our clients, but he will be doing trail rides at his new home and will easily be able to do that for another decade or so,” she said. “Before he came to us, Willie pulled carriages at the Mission Inn, so we knew he was good with crowds and noise which makes for a good fit with our program.” Through the generosity of Susie Ranch in Murrieta, Willie s going-away party April 29 was also a celebration to welcome a new horse that will be trained to work with the center’s clients. Everyone is confident Pepe will be a good fit due to his smaller size and calm demeanor. Pepe was purchased as a pony but had some trouble with the ranch’s rocky trails, but staff thought he would do well at T.H.E. Center, interacting with clients. Trainer Jacey Wright helped lead Pepe from the horse trailer to the front gate of his new home. She

said she has learned so much about horses since starting as a volunteer in 2015. She has been on staff for about two years. Pepe is not the only newcomer to T.H.E. Center. Polk began her leadership duties April 5, after being on the board of directors since anuary 2020. The Hemet resident has countless years of experience with nonprofits and is eager to serve the community in her new role through the center’s Therapeutic Horseback Riding and ife Skills Riding program for those with special needs and its Horses for Heroes program for veterans. “There is so much potential with our program and our staff,” she said. “My goals are to make a strong impact, make a difference by providing horse interaction, a beautiful ambiance, a place for events and fundraising. To not only provide therapy with our horses but also by our interaction; our

smile and kind spirit, with each individual, student, volunteer, visitor that comes in through our gates.” T.H.E. Center board chair Chris Veltman is also the parent of one of the students. He said he is thankful to have found a place for his 9-year-old son, udah, who has been a rider for the past two years. “After his first day here, we recognized this as a safe place for kids to be and enjoy getting to know all about horses,” he said. Since 19 4, the nonprofit has been dedicated to improving the cognitive, physical and psychological abilities of individuals through its nurturing therapeutic horsemanship program. T.H.E. Center is home to about 500 animals, through all its programs, 12 of them being horses. The organization has served more than 2,000 students and provided nearly 94,000 hours of services with the help of more than 3,400 volunteers since it opened. Volunteers, 14 and older, are welcome to help with many things, including a beautification program

that is underway. Financial and in-kind donations for supplies to clean up and beautify the grounds are being sought in advance of the new therapy program that will start in August. There is already a client waiting list and Polk is looking forward to having several improvement projects completed by then. There are many other ways donors can support the nonprofit, including the newly revamped Adopt-a-Horse program. For an ongoing contribution as low as $5 per month, donors can make a difference in a therapy horse s life by becoming a foster parent. There are many perks of fostering, including invitations to special horse foster parent events. “We strongly believe that our relationship with these kind animals has been vital to our special needs children’s road to recovery during this difficult time,” Polk said.

BUSINESS

Jones retires from EMWD Medline Industries donates 15,000 mini hand sanitizers to the city of ing a drought.” Joe Naiman FOR THE VALLEY NEWS Grant funding has provided the revenue for many of the EMWD Temecula for distribution Paul Jones, who had been the Eastern Municipal Water District general manager since 2011, retired April 30. “It’s really been a great opportunity,” Jones said. “We’ve really been lucky on several levels. We have great leadership from our board of directors. We have a talented and committed staff,” he said. “The level of collaboration and willingness to work together really makes a big difference.” Water delivery means not only adequate supply but also water quality which meets standards. Bringing reliable water to various communities was what Jones considered his biggest challenge but also his biggest highlight during his 10 years as EMWD’s general manager. “It’s just been very satisfying to be part of that,” he said. “The opportunities we’ve had to help our most challenged customers in disadvantaged communities have been wonderful.” Eastern provides sewer service as well as water service, and connecting septic systems to the EMWD sewer network has also been among Jones’ achievements in providing service to disadvantaged communities. Eastern’s duty to existing ratepayers not to use their payments for new connections includes charging developers capacity and connection fees to acquire capacity into the existing system, and in the case of bringing reliable water or sewer service to existing developments with substandard systems Eastern has been able to obtain outside grant funding for the system upgrades. Jones and partners were also successful in passing state legislation granting water agencies which took over a failing water system immunity from liability caused by past negligence. The three major projects in which Eastern has brought reliable water or sewer service to disadvantaged communities are the Quail Valley replacement of failing septic systems with sewer service, the annexation (in partnership with the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District) of the former County Water Company of Riverside in Wildomar and Menifee whose wells exceeded state nitrate standards and also often failed to provide water or ade uate fire flow, and replacing septic systems with sewer service in the Enchanted Heights area of Perris. “They ve been really personally rewarding,” Jones said. “I would call those, for me personally, the most rewarding projects we undertook.” Jones has also worked with young adult individuals from disadvantaged communities on a career development program. Men and women between the ages of 18 and 24 participated in the program which also includes EMWD staff members. “I think that was really enjoyable to see,” he said. Not all of Jones’ achievements focus on disadvantaged communities. “We wanted to build a very robust water supply portfolio,” he said. Eastern expanded its recycled water program, and now approximately 36% of the district’s supply is from reclaimed water. “That s been a huge impact long term,” Jones said. Brackish groundwater desalination has also been part of that portfolio. “That was very rewarding as well,” Jones said. In March, the EMWD board approved an interagency agreement in which Eastern will purchase Hemet-San Jacinto Basin groundwater allocation carry-over credits from the City of Hemet. “This will allow us to put water into the ground and bank that,” Jones said. “It will help guarantee that the area has a sustainable water supply dur-

projects. “We’ve also been able to do it in a manner that’s really affordable for our customers,” Jones said. Over the past 10 years Eastern has received approximately $155 million in grants. Eastern has also created an employee safety culture since Jones became the district’s general manager. “We have a very high level of employee safety,” he said. “It’s also a commitment to the employees; it’s really been a privilege to work with such a dedicated staff.” Despite undertaking a nationallevel search for Jones’ replacement, the district chose Joe Mouawad to become the eighth general manager in Eastern’s 71-year history. Mouawad has been with Eastern since 2006 and was the director of engineering before becoming the district’s assistant general manager. “Joe took advantage of all those opportunities and really broadened himself professionally,” Jones said. “I just think he’ll do an outstanding job.” The criteria for selecting ones successor was to hire the best candidate and not necessarily to promote from within. “They had dozens of candidates, highly qualified candidates,” ones said. Before becoming the EMWD general manager, Jones was the Irvine Ranch Water District general manager for a dozen years. His first water district position was as the general manager of the Central and Western Basin Water District in southeast Los Angeles County. Jones has also worked in the private sector. During his years at Eastern, the Association of California Water Agencies honored Jones with the Excellence in Water Leadership Award in 2014, which recognizes contributions to the enhancement, protection or development of water resources, and with the John P. Fraser Emissary Award in 2020, which recognizes ACWA members whose direct volunteer involvement has advanced ACWA’s mission and goals. Jones was on ACWA’s Water Management Committee and was also involved in promoting legislation or other programs ACWA has supported. Jones has also been involved in the WateReuse Association, a trade organization of water utilities and businesses involved in water recycling operations. He was the WateReuse Association national president in 2019 and has also been its state president. “They have been really wonderful opportunities,” he said. “It’s really been an honor to serve in those positions.” Jones is still on the board of WateReuse, although his term expires at the end of 2021 and Jones will leave the board then. Jones is originally from Orange County. His daughter and three sons all live in Southern California. He has four grandchildren. “We plan on spending a lot of time with the family and traveling,” he said of his activities after retirement. “I will also stay involved in the water industry,” Jones said. “I’m going to continue to work in those areas, just not 60 hours a week.” Jones plans to remain involved in water organizations and is willing to be a consultant on a part-time basis, including at Eastern should his services be desired by the district. “He understood water issues, understood how to run this district, and was responsible to the board. I cannot praise Paul enough,” EMWD board president Phil Paule said. “It’s been wonderful as a board member to serve with such a great general manager,” Paule said. “This guy did a tremendous service to the ratepayers of the Eastern Municipal Water District.” J oe Naiman can be reached by email at j naiman@reedermedia. com.

HOME & GARDEN

Rose Care FUNdamentals, May 2021 Frank Brines ARS MASTER CONSULTING ROSARIAN

There were signs of climate change again this year. Temperatures and rainfall patterns differed greatly from last year, with temps lower for longer, and much less rain and spread out over a longer period. Rose growth and development are dependent on weather, and flower production is particularly impacted by inconsistent temperatures, sun and water. All of this has made it more difficult for me to predict what to do and when to do it. The longer time frame for rain and more misty cool nights caused some rust, mildew and Botritis fungi to appear uickly. Blooms were affected by Botritis which “rots” the petals, preventing them

from opening successfully. A few warmer days would encourage growth and produce buds, then a few days of 70- 0 degree temperatures caused a burst of growth toward blooming. At least one application of fungicide and pesticide spray helped to reduce the outbreak. Personal commitments caused me to delay my pruning this year by three weeks. Even so, the first roses bloomed about eight weeks after pruning. Typically, the first flush of blooms is expected after eight to 10 weeks, usually on the longer side. Those roses are now in need of pruning again. In this area, the first annual rose shows would usually be about now, and I know that local exhibitors’ roses are in all different stages of bloom, many past exhibit stages.

Abundant sunshine and water produce larger blooms, so your roses are probably really ready to take off. If you didn t apply fertilizer earlier, be sure to do so soon (more about this a little later), along with plenty of water to maintain this production curve. Know the soil composition in your garden so you know how much water to apply to maintain good soil moisture without drowning the roots. Be vigilant for changes, diseases and pests in your garden now and be prepared to act on these immediately. The Hoplia Beetle appeared in April with its few hot days. I usually see it in May so it was a few weeks early. It can do serious damage in a short time to rose blooms. It can first be seen on light-colored blooms. It is easy to remove by dragging it out from between the petals with a screwdriver or cotton swab and plopping it into a cup of sudsy water. (Note: To learn to identify Hoplia Beetles, just do a search on the internet.) Bottom line however If you find little holes in light colored petals, and you find beetles nestled between the petals, you ve probably got Hoplia dig ’em out. Blooms mature uickly in warm weather, so as they fade, lightly prune back to the first outward facing five-leaflet leaf. Don t shorten the cane too much. If you remove just the blossom and peduncle (the little length of stem that ends at the blossom), you may get two weaker shoots with less bloom quality. This light pruning sets the stage for the next bloom cycle in about seven weeks. For best production, try to shape the bush to outward-facing buds. If you can, keep canes that are larger than the diameter of a wooden pencil. Doing all this now, your next blooms will appear around mid- une before the summer heat. Knowing this can help you prepare for the hot summer in Temecula Valley. Make sure to put all vegetation into your green waste barrel. Roses want a constant supply of nutrients, including micro nutrients (copper, iron, manganese, magnesium, etc.). Remember that you are also feeding the soil microbiology which is complex and multitiered, abundant in beneficial microbes which create a sustainable soil diversity acting like an “immune system.” Phosphate and potassium help

develop strong root systems, better blooms, and help prevent stress during adverse conditions. In fact, plants grown with organic fertilizers are themselves more resistant to pests and diseases. A soil test kit for analyzing the soil needs could save you lots of money, energy and guesswork for a fulfilling garden. Organic amendments such as manure, compost or mulch stay where you put them, break down slowly, don t contribute to groundwater pollution (as long as you prevent runoff into drains), improve the soil food web, so that in the long run you end up using less product while providing “food” for all the creatures like earthworms who act like rototillers mixing them into the soil to lower depths. The best thing you can do for your garden is to add a generous layer of mulch that doesn’t have wood chips. Keep an eye for worsening conditions such as water stress, insect pests and fungal diseases. Do not use a formula that treats everything. Use only a product especially for the specific problem, and treat in proportion to severity, as well as your level of acceptance. If control is lost it may be necessary to strip off all of the diseased leaves and prune back and basically start over. Some organic formulas use neem oil, insecticidal soaps, baking soda, etc. Read entire labels and use according to directions, including safety equipment to avoid exposure to contaminants. Keep your skin covered when applying chemical treatments. Use approved goggles for eye protection, a respirator mask, a long-sleeved shirt, water/chemical resistant boots and gloves. When the treatment is completed, immediately remove clothing and wash. Take a good shower to remove any possible contamination. Gardens are showing increased prevalence of the fungal disease Black Spot. It appears as dark green to black spots on leaves, which often turn yellow and fall off. The infected leaves (even those that fall) produce spores that can infect other leaves. There are many fungicides available, but control can be difficult. Sometimes you just have to remove and dispose of any affected leaves.

Another pest is the Chilli Thrip. It’s much smaller than the Western Thrip we’re accustomed to and more devastating as it eats ALL varieties of vegetation. Control is uite difficult and new treatments are being studied. Products containing Spinosad bacteria seem to help control soft-bodied larvae, but be aware that even such “natural” products can kill other (beneficial) insect species. It is never too late to apply a thick layer of mulch. se composted mulch, not wood products. (Pine needles are good, too.) Apply to a depth of three to four inches. Mulch keeps the entire bed uniformly supplied with water. Avoid mulch containing wood chips of any sort: Their breakdown robs the soil of nitrogen, and a mold can grow that is impenetrable to water, fertilizers and oxygen. I’ve grown many varieties of roses in my gardens. Most will grow well in the Temecula Valley. Some varieties I recommend are Mr incoln, Outta the Blue, Easy Does It, Touch of Class, Double Delight, oey, Gold Medal, Graham Thomas, Fragrant Cloud, Fragrant Plum, Sunsprite, Playboy, Sally Holmes, Ballerina, Tropical ightning, Hey ack, eptune and Violet s Pride. Heads up for high summer Don t expect great roses during uly to September when temperatures are high. Just keep plants well hydrated and remove just spent petals, leaving the “hips” (don’t prune). The plants will enter a short dormancy and build strength for fall. I am an ARS Certified Master Rose Consultant.

Owners of residential or business property in Riverside County who have unclaimed property tax refunds may now file to receive reimbursement. The time period to file will run through Aug. 2. “This is a reminder to all residents to check the Treasurer-Tax Collector website to see if they are due for a refund,” TreasurerTax Collector Matthew Jennings said. “Don t be caught short by the deadline. Our team is available to help residents through the process.” Almost 600 refunds totaling more than 540,000 remain unclaimed. Most refunds stem from valuation reductions by the county assessor and are related to corrections or cancellations to the tax roll after taxes were already paid. Under California law, property tax refunds unclaimed for four years after the payment date – or one year after a requested claim form has been mailed back to a taxpayer by the county, whichever is later – may be transferred to the county general fund by order of

the Riverside County Board of Supervisors. After Aug. 2, any unclaimed money shifts to the general fund and can no longer be claimed. “Many of these residents may not even know they’ve overpaid their property taxes,” Board Chair aren Spiegel said. “Take a moment to look, and if so, file for your reimbursement.” Filing instructions and a list of all unclaimed property tax refunds from tax year 2016 and prior are available on the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s website at: www. countytreasurer.org/TaxCollector/ nclaimedMoney/PropertyTaxUnclaimedRefund.aspx Completed claim forms and supporting documentation should be emailed to P rop Tax U nclaimed@ rivco.org or mailed to the following address, Riverside County Treasurer-Tax Collector, Attn Property Tax nclaimed Refunds, P.O.

Diane A. Rhodes VALLEY NEWS

A Virtual Enterprise team from Murrieta Valley High School placed second at the National Business Plan competition. The Havlu team, led by student CEO Isabella Dadseresht, competed among 310 teams nationwide. Students who are on the Business/Entrepreneur Pathway participate in the Career & Technical Education’s capstone course Virtual Enterprise, an education nonprofit interactive class that allows students to learn about all aspects of running a business. Providing students with the ability to gain business skills and learn how a real business operates is the goal of the program that has been offered at the high school for the past 12 years. Course coordinator Joel Levin, who has been facilitating the student-led program since it began, said many students take the course as a stand-alone class but all students must go through an application process to get into the program. This year, there were two MVHS Virtual Enterprise (VE) teams composed of juniors and seniors: Havlu, a business that sells sustainable hygiene products and Turkish cotton towels, and Custom Fitness Solutions, a business that sells home and office fitness e uipment. This year’s national competition, as well as the entire outh Business Summit, was held online due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Havlu was also a semi-finalist in the ational Marketing Plan competition, along with Custom Fitness Solutions that made the top six in the National Finance Competition. As CEO of Custom Fitness Solutions, Levin said Taylor Larson led the entire team to great achievements throughout the year. The senior joined VE last school year and volunteered for the CEO position, along with three other candidates. Larson said all of them had to go through an extensive induction process that included a questionnaire about their plans for the next year and their leadership ideology, a video about themselves and how they would conduct their companies if chosen to be CEO, and an interview with a panel of VE executives and school administration. She said after much preparation for each portion, she and Dadseresht were chosen as CEOs for this year’s teams. “The part of VE I enjoyed the most was the great sense of community I was able to establish, in every way,” Larson said. “On a professional level, VE is where I learned how to collaborate and listen to other people’s opinions and perceptions. Three years ago, I hated working on a team; now, I rely on it. In terms of my personal life, my best friend and I are best friends because of Virtual Enterprise. And on a much wider scale, I’ve met people from other states, and even other countries during my time in VE who I still talk to and have relationships with.”

Havlu also placed first in VE s ational uickBooks Competition and Custom Fitness Solutions placed second. The competition took place during VE’s annual outh Business Summit, a weeklong series of virtual business competitions, leadership events and an international trade show that draws more than 5,000 student-entrepreneurs who run simulated businesses from classrooms in 10 countries, according to a VE press release. Students run their business while using uickBooks to maintain their company’s accounting and financial records during the school year. There were competitions at the local, regional and state levels throughout the school year and Havlu won each time. On April 21, they vied for first place with five other finalists. The teams accounting and finance employees had to deliver oral presentations that addressed their most recent quarterly results while providing responses to specific scenarios based on their implementation and use of the uickBooks online software. Dadseresht, who has been in the program for two years, said she enjoyed the responsibilities that came with the CEO title but also the relationships she developed with the business mentors, her classmates and Levin. “I knew that the work I completed would be integral to our virtual company’s success as well as our program s success; I thrived off this sense of purpose,” she said. “To thrive in VE, we had to develop strong working relationships right off the bat and the personal relationships I’ve gained from this dedicated working environment are ones I will truly cherish for the rest of my life.” Levin said that despite the challenges COVID-19 brought, the teams persevered and accom-

plished a great deal under extraordinary circumstances. “The biggest challenge was keeping the students motivated when they were doing everything from home on their computers,” he said. Levin said the students did a great job of staying focused and were determined to do well this year. He said the senior leadership was tremendous in setting the tone and creating a positive atmosphere throughout the year. “Another great challenge was generating a (public relations) campaign at our school, which generally leads to having many applicants to the program each year,” he said. “Due to not being on campus, it was difficult to do this, and subsequently our applicants for next year have decreased.” Also honored this year was VE volunteer Bill Demmin who received special recognition for his past eight years as a mentor for the program at MVHS. He began working with students when he was CEO of Commerce Bank of Temecula Valley but after retiring, he has been mentoring students on a regular basis. Havlu s business plan presentation can be seen at www.veinternational.org and more videos are available at the school’s Virtual Enterprise website, www.mvhsvirtualenterprise.weebly.com. Competing with other Virtual Enterprise students from around the world, Murrieta Valley students have won numerous awards and its Business Plan teams have ualified for nationals 10 years in a row, after finishing in the top six at California State competitions. Levin said most of his students move on to major in business and other fields of study at college. “Several of my students have received scholarships and studied business at Mercy College in New York and Long Island University

Mountain lion conservation expert to join teachers at Santa Rosa Plateau forum Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Teachers from Murrieta and Temecula school districts have the opportunity to learn about the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve in a personal seminar and hike at the reserve from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. May 22, sponsored by the Santa Rosa Plateau ature Education Foundation. The second Annual Nature Education Resource Forum is designed exclusively for teachers, some teaching third- and fourth graders who visit the plateau, and others interested in science and nature and helping their students become good stewards of the land around them. This year will be special according to the SRP EF with Winston Vickers, C Davis Wildlife Health Center sharing information about the Mountain Lion conservation history on the reserve and the surrounding area. This in-person event gives an opportunity for “teachers to reconnect to resources, information and activities to support their environmental, nature and science education classroom requirements,” Ginger Greaves, SRP EF executive director, said. “The in-person event includes docent-led, small

group hikes around the Tenaja Fire burn scar areas, new resources from the Santa Rosa Plateau ature Education Foundation and conversation circles with colleagues to reconnect and share resources.” The forum is limited to the first 50 teachers and only adults. COVID-19 safety measures will be observed. To register go to www.srpnef.org on or before May 15. Event manager amie Parsley said registration and RSVPs are required. The Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve is located above Wildomar and Murrieta at 39400 Clinton Keith Road in Murrieta. It s almost 9,000 acres presents vernal pools, rare oaks, wildflowers, hiking trails (only one open at this time), wildlife and other attractions. The SRP EF provides special conservation events with docents, student projects and visits, scholarships and other events to help preserve the natural beauty of the park operated by the Riverside County Regional Park and OpenSpace District and conservation groups. It is a nonprofit organization and welcomes membership, donations and grants. For more information, www.srpnef.org. Tony Ault can be reached by email at tault@reedermedia.com.

and have obtained great jobs in the business world at Microsoft, BS and IBM,” evin said. He said the best part of coordinating the VE course is to witness the daily validation of how much these students gain from it. Larson will be attending Long Island niversity Post in ew York as a member of both the Honors College and the Dean Scholar s Program for the College of Management. She plans to double major in finance and marketing. “Although that might change as I learn more, business will remain my focus,” she said. “I hope that I’ll be able to get a job working for one of the many major corporations I is affiliated with, though my life aspiration is to found my own small business. I love the idea of running my own bakery, since baking is one of my favorite things to do in my down time, and I’m pretty good at it too.” Dadseresht will be attending C, San Diego as an Environmental Systems and Policy major. She looks forward to pursuing a career in Environmental Law to hopefully play an influential role in environmental policymaking. Levin said VE is a great program that goes way beyond the awards teams receive. “This program truly changes lives. The students not only learn about business, but they learn employment skills through applying and interviewing to get into the program and for their positions, social skills and workplace dynamics, networking, learning through mentors and guest speakers and much more,” Levin said. “As a teacher, to see the passion and enthusiasm that the students exhibit on a daily basis, and the continued appreciation that former students express about their experiences in Virtual Enterprise, is what really makes it all worthwhile.”

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

With about three weeks left in the school year, and about six weeks left of season two of the 2020-21 high school sports year (as most will continue into the playoffs well after graduation), another great victory was just achieved with the completion of the boys’ and girls’ soccer seasons. As the coronavirus pandemic loomed over high school sports this school year, getting to the postseason of any sport was not guaranteed, so this is a positive sign to say the least. As the soccer season wrapped up last week, the CIF Southern Section released its first playoff brackets of the 202021 school year this past weekend and several local teams ualified for the postseason. As for league championships, Temecula Valley’s girls’ soccer team netted a pair of second-half goals to defeat Great Oak 2-0 in their final match and claim its fourth consecutive Southwestern League title. The Lady Golden Bears will take on Long Beach Wilson at home in first-round action. Arrowhead Christian (111) won the Ambassador League championship and received the No. 1 seed in Division 7 and an opening-round bye. With only 15 teams qualifying in Division 7, the Eagles will have to wait until May 1 to play their first match. Arrowhead Christian will host Elsinore

(5-6-5) or Santa Rosa Academy (3-3) in the uarterfinals. infield Christian finished runner-up to Arrowhead Christian but still picked up the No. 1 seed in Division 6. The Lions will host Citrus Hill (23-3) or Alverno Heights Academy (6-2) in a second-round match May 14. Mountain Pass League champion Tahquitz (11-0) is the No. 2 seed in Division 5 and will host Pasadena (4-3) or Notre Dame Academy (2-4-1) in the first round. For the boys in the Southwestern League, the Chaparral and Murrieta Valley boys’ soccer teams were at opposite ends of the league standings last season. Chaparral claimed the championship, while Murrieta Valley finished in a tie for last place. In their final game last week, the two teams lined up against one another with the 2021 league championship on the line. Chaparral and Murrieta Valley entered the match tied for first place in the standings, and the squads ended the night in the same position. Carlos Elizondo gave Chaparral a 1-0 lead in the first half, but ordy Verde scored the equalizer in the second half to ensure Murrieta Valley a share of the Southwestern League spoils. According to Murrieta Valley coach Rob Skinner, this is the program’s first league championship since 1993. While there was some disappointment about having to share the championship this year, Chaparral coach Arthur Covarrubias told the media that

back-to-back titles for the program is just reward for hard work over two seasons. “It’s not easy winning a league title, so being able to defend the title is a great feeling,” Covarrubias said. Nuview Bridge (7-1) captured the South Valley League title and received the No. 1 seed in the Division 6 bracket. The Knights play host to Woodcrest Christian (8-5-3) or Northview (6-4) in a first-round match May 13. Citrus Hill (10-0-1) won the Mountain Pass League championship to earn the No. 2 seed in Division 5. The Hawks will host Coachella Valley (7-5-3) or North (6-5) in the first round May 13. Ambassador League co-champion Linfield Christian (12-2-3) is the No. 4 seed in Division 6 and will host Hemet (4-5-5) in the first round May 13.

Lake Elsinore Storm hot on the road, ready for home opening series this week JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

In a time of recent uncertainty, one thing is now certain: the Lake Elsinore Storm Baseball organization is happy to be back. Earlier this year it was confirmed that the Storm will continue to play ball as an affiliate of the San Diego Padres and after a tough year without baseball at the Diamond due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Storm s 2021 season is off to a great start. The Lake Elsinore Storm (5-1) headed to Visalia last week, and not only won their first game of the season against the Rawhide by a final score of -7 but went on to win five straight in their six-game opening series. Both teams met in the 2019 California League Championship, which went the way of Visalia, so the Storm were looking to make a statement. Which

they did. This week, the Diamond in Lake Elsinore will once again be open for business and the staff has a lot to be excited about. Since the end of the 2019 season, the facility has added several major upgrades to enhance the fan experience even further. The stadium has upgraded its two outfield video boards which will now be run with all new state of the art tech with a brand-new production booth with increased audio and video capabilities running throughout the Diamond. ew ED stadium field lights enhance the viewing experience to a level far above Class-A standards. The Diamond Taproom, a yearround restaurant, opened at the stadium, with a huge patio overlooking the field with great views of the video boards and dozens of TVs of its own. The stadium, whose fans voted it “Best of the Ballparks 2021” on BallparkDi-

gest.com, clearly earned the title before any of these exciting new features were added. In 2020, the Storm brought unique entertainment to the Diamond as they adapted to an unprecedented year. The Diamond Drive-In brought movies to its parking lot, and Diamond DriveIn: Live in Concert! showcased top tier tribute bands in a safe but exciting environment. Christine Kavic, the Lake Elsinore Storm CFO, and co-General Manager, says the Storm plans to continue both movies and concerts in 2021 in new and exciting ways. At the start of the 27th season as a member of Major League Baseball, in a Class-A Minor League branch, the Storm home opening series will be against the Inland Empire 66ers this week. After a long year off, ake Elsinore looks to continue to chase their fourth league title in 2021. An affiliate

of the San Diego Padres since 2001, notable alumni to wear the Storm uniform since then include Jake Peavy and Cory Kluber, the 2014 American League Cy Young Award winner. For more information on the Lake Elsinore Storm,

In the first round of girls individual play, Vista Murrieta’s Brandy Babcock-Hannah and Murrieta Valley’s Maya Eamolarn continued their winning ways taking out their opponents with clean sweeps, which continued into the quarterfinals. Babcock-Hannah would take on Great Oak’s Jewel Brathwaite in the quarters, winning 6-1, 6-1, and Eamolarn would

run into Chaparral’s Bethany Masterson, who would win in three sets (1-6, 7-5, 10-8). The two met in the finals, where Vista Murrieta s o. 1 finished business taking out Masterson in two sets (6-1, 6-1). For the girl’s doubles teams, it would be Murrieta Valley’s pair of Pearson and Lee and Great Oak’s Rezentes and Herrera that ran through the brackets, meeting in the finals where Pearson and ee won 7-6 and 6-4. On the boys’ courts, in individual play, things came down to Great Oak’s No. 1, Nick Huang, and Murrieta Valley’s No. 1, Aidan Hever. The final match went the way of Huang, who won 6-3, and 6-4. On the double’s courts

it was a Great Oak finish as their No. 1 team of Arabshahi and Rutz-Robbins would take on their teammates and No. 2 team for the Wolfpack, Zhao and Aguinaldo. Arabshahi and Rutz-Robbins would leave little doubt as to who holds down the fort, winning 6-1 and 6-3 in their two sets. With the Southwestern League tournament wrapped up, the top finishers await the brackets for the CIF Southern Section tournament, which will be out later this week.

Temecula Valley Hospital is nationally recognized with an “A” for the spring 2021 Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade Temecula Valley Hospital received an “A” grade in the spring 2021 Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, a national distinction recognizing Temecula Valley Hospital’s achievements protecting patients from errors, injuries, accidents and infections. The Leapfrog Group is an independent national watchdog organization committed to health care quality and safety. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade assigns an A, B, C, D or F grade to all general hospitals across the country and is updated every six months. It is the only hospital ratings program based exclusively on hospitals’ prevention of medical errors and other harms to patients in their care. “I am so proud of our staff and physicians,” Darlene Wetton, CEO of Temecula Valley Hospital, said. “We have received nine Leapfrog ‘A’ Grades for Patient Safety. Our mission of Temecula Valley Hospital is to deliver exceptional and compassionate patient care, and this award is a reflection of the hard work our team provides to our community, every day.” “An ‘A’ safety grade is an elite

designation that your community should be proud of,” Leah Binder, president, and CEO of The Leapfrog Group, said. “The past year has been extraordinarily difficult for hospitals, but Temecula Valley Hospital shows us it is possible to keep a laser focus on patients and their safety, no matter what it takes.” Developed under the guidance of a national expert panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses up to 27 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign grades to more than 2,700 U.S. acute-care hospitals twice per year. The Hospital Safety Grade’s methodology is peer-reviewed and fully transparent, and the results are free to the public.” To see Temecula Valley Hospital’s full grade details and access patient tips for staying safe in the hospital, visit www.hospitalsafetygrade.org and follow The Leapfrog Group on Twitter and Facebook.

COVID-19 gives civilians a glimpse of what veterans already know PTSD comes in many forms and is very real Eric Power SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

When we talk about mental health and veterans, we often hear of PTSD. For many, the term conjures up images of violent conflict and active war zones. What the country is finally starting to understand is that the simple act of being isolated and away from your family and loved ones for prolonged periods can weigh equally on our mental health. For too long veterans have struggled to articulate the challenges of returning to civilian life after active duty. nfortunately, we find ourselves in a pandemic, but I find solace in deepening the understanding civil-

ians are finding for our sisters and brothers in arms. Too often I work with veterans who find it hard to explain why coming back to civilian life is so difficult. That challenge was in large part responsible for my new book, “Don’t Shoot Your Future Self.” In the book, I explore the challenges facing David, a recently discharged veteran. The story, which borrows in large part from my own personal experience, is meant to stand as a guide to what solutions worked and which ones set me further back. Not everything in the book is based on a true story, but enough of it is to connect with those who have served our country and are now going through the same or

a similar situation. Despite having only been released this year, “Don’t Shoot Your Future Self,” has already garnered praise and thanks from many of those who have read it, both veterans and civilians alike. I don’t know if there will ever be an opportunity for non-veterans to ever fully understand the challenges of transitioning to civilian life but I am thankful for the many that have tried and will continue to try in support of our brothers and sisters in arms. I have made it my personal mission to support our veterans whenever and wherever I am able. The book, “Don’t Shoot

Your Future Self,” is just one facet of that mission. I have also recently announced a speaking series near and on several military bases both domestically and abroad to help bring this information to those who need it most as they are about to leave the service. The speech is an engaging presentation that highlights the key points in the book and allows veterans to discuss the transition to civilian life with a fellow veteran who has been able to make that transition successfully. Eric Power owns and operates Veterans Disability Help, LLC. VDH is leading the way for veter-

ans regarding their VA Disability Benefits. It has served more than 2,500 veterans since its incorporation in March 2015 and has redirected more than $2.1 million a month from the VA back to the veterans in VA Disability Benefits.

The most amazing chance encounter in Bonsall

Julie Reeder PUBLISHER

I had the privilege of meeting an amazingly intelligent and interesting man one morning about 20 years ago at Sunrise Cafe in Bonsall (predecessor to Z Cafe). He had lived in Fallbrook only three days. It’s always fun for me to meet someone new to our area and hear their story, so we struck up a conversation. He was originally from India but came to the U.S. to attend MIT and Wharton School of Business and later attended Dartmouth, Colum-

bia and Kellog as well. He was one of the original inventors of modem technology, but we talked mostly about his views on the United States and his nonprofit. He spent most of his time traveling to Third World countries consulting them on western governance because, according to him, they wanted what the U.S. had, and it was his real passion. He explained that in the U.S. we have far fewer natural resources than many other countries, but we are so successful because we understand that people are our greatest resource. As I asked his views on current affairs and how he viewed the .S., he explained to me what a wonderful country the United States is and how unique. He said the fact that our government protects our contractual agreements is foundational. He explained that, for instance, in India his family not only feared that bandits would steal from them, but possibly their government as well. He explained that the rule of law is a very big deal and also part of the reason for our success.

I thought of that chance encounter this week as I read the news of how the Biden administration was considering an override of intellectual property rights protections of the vaccine companies in the U.S. in order to help the other countries like India. While it seems like the humane thing to do in order to save lives, it could be a slippery slope for future research and development as people are now not only concerned about the very real stealth of U.S. intellectual property from China, but now we are considering giving it away, without the approval of the stockholders and people who actually own or invested in that technology. EU Chancellor Angela Merkel reiterated her stance that the shortage of vaccines worldwide would not be solved by a waiver of patents, as suggested by President Biden. They encouraged our government instead to start sending over vaccines already produced which would be much faster and wouldn’t endanger future investments in research and development. Europe apparently provides half their vaccine supply to their own

people and half to other countries. I’m sure there is a compromise that is a win-win between big business, investors, our government and human lives. But, back to PK, he also talked about how the “can do” spirit is very strong in the U.S. He explained how people here are raised in a culture thinking they can do anything they set their minds to, no matter their race or upbringing and how that just isn’t prevalent in many other countries. He said there are countries where people don’t feel that independent spirit. They wait for the government to tell them what they can and can’t do, so that makes a huge difference. He attributed it to our Judeo-Christian beliefs because people believe their rights are God given and not government given as was set up by our founding fathers. He also said that our culture is very generous. He said he had traveled the world far and wide and he believed that Americans were very generous and that was also part of our culture. There was so much more to the conversation I had with PK

that day, but suffice it to say, that conversation had a lasting impact on me. We are an independent and generous country, according to PK who was here during the 60s to present. He owned companies that exported technology all over the world. I will have to ask him his opinion on the government giving away a company’s intellectual property. We are in such a different space 20 years ago than we are now where everything is about race. It didn’t occur to me then, but it does now, that he was a very dark-skinned person, and he came here and is probably one of the most successful people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting and I don’t ever remember him complaining during the several meetings we had about how anyone tried to keep him down. PK is thankful for the opportunities in America, I can honestly say that I too am thankful for a society that allows me (pre and post COVID) to have open conversation with someone as interesting as PK over breakfast any time our schedules allow for it and no one thinks anything of it.

ber of the United States Armed Forces or California National Guard. Another bill, AB 1151, also introduced by Assemblyman Smith, will eliminate the $5 fee charged by the DMV for veterans to add the word “VETERAN” to the face of their driver’s license or ID card. The DMV doesn’t need

the money, there is really no reason for this fee. The men and women who have worn the uniform, often at great risk and sacrifice, have protected and defended us all. Eliminating needless taxes and fees makes California more affordable for veterans, and benefits everyone.

Honoring – and Helping – our Veterans

Assemblymember Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

May is National Military Appreciation Month, with several observances honoring our veterans and their families, including Military

Spouse Appreciation Day May 7, Armed Forces Day May 15 and Memorial Day May 31. Honoring the service and sacrifice of our active-duty military and our veterans is important, but supporting them means more than holidays or national commemorations. This session I am very pleased that members of my Caucus have introduced important legislation that will help improve the lives and livelihoods of California’s veterans. AB 291, introduced by Assemblyman Kelly Seyarto (RMurrieta), will provide tax relief to military survivors taking advantage of Survivor Benefit Plans

(SBPs), a benefit that many military members choose to opt into. California has 29,000 survivors receiving SBP payments, and most are over 65. Today only six states fully tax SBPs. AB 291 will eliminate this unnecessary, costly burden on military families. State licensing fees required for many professions can cost hundreds of dollars and are one of the hurdles many veterans face transitioning to civilian life. AB 1026, introduced by Assemblyman Thurston “Smitty” Smith (R-Apple Valley) will lighten the burden. The bill grants a 50% fee reduction for initial state licensing to any honorably discharged mem-

(or drop outs) can emphasize their real or imagined victimhood, their “wokeness” and their mastery of critical race theory? Meanwhile the teachers’ union collaborated with the Centers for Disease Control to keep schools closed. Big tech monopolies, the mainstream media, Hollywood, Wall Street and government collude together more and more in synchronicity with Democrat Party talking points and agendas. The 2012 DNC Presidential convention eerily proclaimed, “Government is the only thing we

all belong to.” Now Biden looks to further advance corporatism through surveillance of Americans by corporations as an end run around the 4thAmendment. A century ago the colluding and intertwining of societal institutions, corporations and big government earnestly began throughout much of Europe, with disastrous results. Benito Mussolini coined a name for this ... Fascism. Sincerely, Rick Reiss Temecula, Calif.

Letter to the editor Dear Editor; President Biden is saddling America’s younger generations with many trillions in new debt while pandering to his strongest political donors, the teachers’ unions, leaving many public schools closed to in class student teaching. As more students fall behind they will be less equipped for future employment and wealth creation while getting the hook for Biden’s ever-expanding national debt. Perhaps Biden expects these students to apply for CIA intersectionality jobs where future graduates

Endangered condor egg hatches in Northern California’s wild THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A California condor egg has hatched in Northern California’s wild, the newest member of Pinnacles National Park’s recovery program for the endangered species. The egg hatched April 12 after two months of round-the-clock incubation by both parents who protected their fragile egg from the elements and potential predators, park rangers said in a social media post. Their nest has a video camera installed to help with monitoring and videos shared by the National Park Service this week show one parent feeding the fluffy chick while the other stands guard by the entrance to their refuge. Since 2003, park rangers at Pinnacles, a 26,000-acre park in rural San Benito County about 120 miles (193 kilometers) south of San Francisco, and Ventana Wildlife Society wildlife biologists have managed a release site at the park for captive-bred California condors. The parents have been a pair for about five years, and this is their third offspring. They are condors 589, which is managed by the park

and 569, managed by Ventana Wildlife Society. “Condors typically only have one chick every two years. 589 and 569 are clearly doing their part to help their species and maintain their status as a Pinnacles power couple.” park rangers wrote. The chick, named 1078, still must survive six more months in the nest, relying on its parents completely for food, protection and companionship. “If all goes well, 1078 will learn to fly sometime in mid-October and will then spend up to another year with its parents, slowly gaining more independence as they show it how to find food and integrate into the wild condor flock,” park officials wrote. One of the world’s largest birds with a wingspan up to 10 feet (3 meters), the condor once patrolled the sky from Mexico to British Columbia. But its population plummeted to the brink of extinction in the 1970s because of lead poisoning, hunting and habitat destruction. In the 19 0s, wildlife officials captured the last remaining 22 condors and took them to the San Diego and Los Angeles zoos to be protected and bred in captivity.

After up to a year at the zoo, chicks are taken to a release site such as Pinnacles National Park. There and in other sanctuaries, they scavenge, breed and raise chicks on their own, under the close watch of wildlife biologists who outfit them with a visual ID tag and at least one radio transmitter. Some birds are also given GPS transmitters. California condors have been making a comeback in the wild and now occupy parts of California’s Central Coast, Arizona, Utah and Baja California, Mexico. The total wild population now numbers more than 300 birds. Condors can live for 60 years and fly vast distances, which is why their range could extend into several states. But the vultures still face threats from exposure to mercury and the pesticide DDT. Biologists say the biggest danger is lead ammunition, which can poison them when they eat dead animals shot with lead bullets. California banned the use of lead ammunition near condor feeding grounds in 2008 and lead bullets in all hunting in 2019. The birds have been protected as an endangered species by federal law since 1967 and by California state law since 1971.

Caltrans calls on public to plan for new Deputy fatally shoots bicycle and pedestrian trails and roads assault suspect who was from the public and is making a facilitate bicycling and walking on allegedly wielding a crowbar Tony Ault STAFF WRITER localized map-based survey to de- or near the state highway system. Caltrans is calling for public input on an Active Transportation Plan and announcing it on social media. Caltrans District 8, which covers most of Riverside and San Bernardino County, is working a survey and identifying locations for bicycle and pedestrian improvement on the state highway system as well as other Caltrans’ districts. Recently the cities of San Jacinto, Menifee, Temecula and other inland Riverside County cities are working on their Capital Improvement Programs for the future. Bike and pedestrian improvements are in the plans. California and federal representatives of the Inland Empire are also calling on the public to help with projects funded by the governments. Caltrans would like comments

termine where and when the bike and pedestrian projects are needed. Caltrans, in a news release from District 8, said, “Caltrans has recently made improving multimodal connectivity one of our top priorities as part of the Department’s 2021-2024 Strategic Plan. A major component of this effort is through engaging the community members of the Inland Empire on how best we can develop safe alternative travel methods such as bike lanes and pedestrian walkways in the region,” District 8 Director Michael Beauchamp said. “I encourage the nearly 5 million residents of the Inland Empire to take this survey and make their voices heard.” The public survey will allow residents to tell Caltrans where improvements could be made to

Survey responses will provide specific data about the type and location of needed improvements, allowing Caltrans to evaluate these locations in developing future projects, the public notice said. Caltrans says it seeks to align the state’s bicycle and pedestrian network with the needs of local communities, with an emphasis on improving social equity, reconnecting communities and improving access for all modes of transportation, including people who walk and bike. To find the District mapbased survey, visit www.survey. catplan.org. For more information about the Caltrans Active Transportation Plans, www.catplan.org/districtplans.

A deputy shot and killed a man who allegedly advanced toward a deputy while wielding a crowbar during a confrontation west of Perris, sheriff s officials said. Deputies responded to an assault with a deadly weapon call at 7:21 p.m. May 7, in the 22000 block of Margarth Street and learned that a man had struck another person with a crowbar during an argument, according to the Riverside County Sheriff s Department. When deputies arrived at the location, they found the man in a nearby field still in possession of the crowbar, Sgt. Lionel Murphy said. Deputies fired a Taser at the man after he failed to comply with commands, but it was ineffective, according to Murphy. “The suspect advanced toward one of the deputies with the crowbar in his hand and a deputy

Group protests ‘animal captivity’ at SeaWorld San Diego City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

About 20 people attended a protest May 8, at SeaWorld San Diego, part of the ninth annual “Empty The Tanks Worldwide Event” seeking to bring awareness to the plight of captive whales and dolphins. The protest began at SeaWorld Drive and SeaWorld Way at 11:30 a.m. and was among more than 70 similar events planned around the world, organizer Ellen Ericksen said. She said the group was also trying to get the San Diego City Council at its next meeting to stop the SeaWorld fireworks show, happening now on Fridays and Saturdays at about 8 p.m. The fireworks displays damage the environment, scare residents’ pets, and are too loud for nearby

residents, Ericksen said. The protest crowd in past years, before the pandemic, usually numbered about 100, she said. “This pandemic is a gamechanger,” she said. Ericksen plans to hold one or two protests at SeaWorld every month. The animals at SeaWorld are being held “like captive criminals; it’s horrible and it will end,” the longtime activist said. “People are waking up.” SeaWorld has 10 orcas, and Ericksen says one has been locked in captivity for 54 years. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but SeaWorld’s website says its core values include “love for world life, commitment and sacrifice, and conservation.” Copyright 2021, City News Service, Inc.

Loyola Marymount University professor Cheryl Grills and attorney Lisa Holder of Los Angeles were among the five people appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom May 7 to the newly formed Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans. The task force will inform Californians about slavery and explore ways the state might provide reparations. Its members will meet over the next year and conclude their work with a written report on their findings, along with recommenda-

tions which will be provided to the Legislature. The nine-member task force was created in a bill by then-Assemblywoman Shirley Weber (D-San Diego), now California’s secretary of state. The bill creating the task force required one of its members to be from academia with expertise in civil rights, a re uirement filled by Grills’ appointment. Two additional members of the task force will be appointed by the state Senate and two others by the Assembly. Copyright 2021, City News Service, Inc.

Residents left big metros during pandemic for family, study says Mike Schneider ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cece Linder was living in a 770-square-foot apartment outside Washington, D.C., last spring when the area went into lockdown because of the coronavirus pandemic. In May 2020, after a few months of both living and working in the small space, Linder decided to leave the capital area and move into the 2,000-square-foot beachside home she jointly owns with her parents in Cocoa Beach, Florida. Now she gets to see the sun rise over the water each morning before work. “If I’m teleworking anyway, why not move to this other place that is more visually attractive, it’s beachside, and someone can occasionally cook for me?” Linder said. “Though that didn’t exactly work out. My mom has me cooking for them.” Linder was not alone in her thinking. According to a new study and data from the U.S. Census Bureau, she was one of thousands of people who migrated out of the nation’s largest metropolitan areas and into smaller ones during the pandemic. The study found that, like Linder, many of the migrants weren’t driven by new jobs or weather — or even a fear of the virus — but a desire to be closer to family and a freedom to make it happen because of remote working. Although the pattern of people moving from larger to smaller cities has been going on for several years, the pandemic exacerbated that trend, said Peter Haslag of Vanderbilt University, who conducted the study on migrant motivations with Daniel Weagley of Georgia Tech. Their

paper has not yet been published. The data adds to understanding of how the pandemic has changed where and how Americans live. The moves were most common among those with higher incomes and more job flexibility. If the trends continue, it could have longterm implications for real estate markets, tax bases and the wealth inequality in cities, according to researchers. “For us, the question is, is this a temporary blip or is it going to continue?” Haslag said. “If workfrom-home really is going to be a factor in job and company decisions, and by allowing work and location to be separate decisions, people are going to be able to optimize their locations, if they have the right jobs.” The Census Bureau data shows that the New York metro area — which was hit early by the new coronavirus — declined by about 108,000 residents, or 0.5%. Rough-

ly 216,000 residents moved out of the metropolitan area, but the natural increase from births and gains in international migration offset the departures. The New York metro area has experienced decelerated growth over the past several years, but last year’s decline was a bigger bite of the Big Apple than in 2019, when it lost 60,000 residents. The nation’s next largest metro areas — Los Angeles and Chicago — also experienced greater population declines last year compared to the previous year: around 0.5% last year compared to 0.3% in 2019 for both metros. San Francisco also had a drop of around 0.5% last year compared to a 0.1% gain in 2019. “I think some core urban counties like Manhattan, San Francisco and others may have taken a bigger brunt of pandemic-related out-movement, as well as lower immigration,” William Frey, a senior fellow at The Brookings Institution, said. “Overall, it was

a year of slow growth with selective movement out of some urban centers.” Smaller metros in the Sun Belt and West, several with large communities of vacation homes, saw the biggest population gains last year, mostly driven by migration. Led by the Florida retirement community The Villages, the metros seeing population increases between 3% and 4% included St. George, Utah; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; Austin, Texas; and Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Sun Belt megalopolises, such as Dallas, Houston and Phoenix, also grew last year, though not as much as their smaller cousins. The Census Bureau data captured changes in states, metros and counties between July 1, 2019, and July 1, 2020. The last third of that time-frame overlapped with the first three months of the spread of the virus in the U.S. Populationchange estimates are different from the 2020 census, a head count of every U.S. resident that determines how many congressional seats each state gets. Those numbers were released last week. Population changes are estimated using data on births, deaths and migration. Haslag and Weagley estimate that 10% to 20% of the 300,000 interstate moves they studied between April 2020 and February 2021 were influenced by the pandemic. Their study used four years of long-distance moving data obtained from UniGroup, the parent company of United Van Lines and Mayflower Transit. Job-related reasons for moving dropped from 46.6% of responses before the pandemic to 34.5% after the start of the pandemic in

the U.S. in March 2020, while the desire to be closer to family jumped from 24.7% to 29.9%. The researchers theorized the jump for family reasons was due to people wanting to create social “bubbles” with family members, and the drop in job-related reasons was due to remote working and the decoupling of jobs from offices. “It’s not really about the infection rate when it comes to moving. It’s about all the other things that came with the pandemic, whether it was to be closer to family or work from home,” Haslag said. “That was really surprising to us.” Higher-income households moved less because of job loss or to take a new job than for other reasons such as lifestyle or the ability to work remotely. In fact, 75% of those who cited the ability to work remotely had annual households earnings of $100,000 or more. Lower-income households were more likely to move for financial reasons such as job loss or to move to a place with a lower cost of living, the researchers said. David Mann and his wife, Lauren, had been wanting to move to the southeast from Dallas to be closer to family and friends for some time, but it was the pandemic that made it possible. Knowing they could work from home in their jobs in supply-chain consulting and merchandise planning, they made the leap and moved to Atlanta last summer. “Working from home gave us the opportunity to move without having to look for new jobs,” Mann said.

Court upholds California governor’s use of emergency powers Don Thompson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s use of emergency powers to make far-reaching policies during the pandemic was upheld Wednesday by state appellate judges who rejected a lower court finding that the Democrat had done too much unilaterally. Three judges from the 3rd District Court of Appeal in Sacramento ruled unanimously that the prior judge “erred in interpreting the Emergency Services Act to prohibit the Governor from issuing quasi-legislative orders in an emergency.” “We conclude the issuance of such orders did not constitute an unconstitutional delegation of legislative power,” Presiding Justice Vance Raye wrote in ruling on a lawsuit brought by Republican state legislators. The court already had stayed the earlier ruling by Sutter County Superior Court Judge Sarah Heckman that Newsom unconstitutionally usurped the Legislature’s power. Heckman more broadly issued an injunction — which also had been temporarily halted by the appeals court — barring Newsom from issuing any orders under the California Emergency Services Act that amended state laws or legislative policy. Newsom did so dozens of times during the pandemic in what amounted to one-man rule, Assemblymen James Gallagher and Kevin Kiley said. The appeals court said the lower court rulings raised “matters of great public concern regarding the Governor’s orders in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic emergency” but agreed with the governor’s contention that he acted within the broad emergency authority granted him under state law in times of crisis. The appeals court relied on a section of the law that says the governor shall “have complete authority over all agencies of the state government and the right to exercise within the area designated all police power vested in the state by the Constitution and laws of the State of California.” Kiley and Gallagher said they would appeal to the state Supreme Court. The appeals court reached “a startling conclusion: that a State of Emergency gives a California Governor ‘the power to legislate.’ The California Supreme Court has repeatedly held this is forbidden by our State Constitution,” the two lawmakers said in a statement.

usual legislative process. The appeals court said that portion of the claim was moot because the governor’s order was superseded by the legislation which was directed at an election that has already occurred.

Heckman’s ruling was the second time a judge in Sutter County reached the same conclusion, but the first ruling was also uickly halted. Both countered other state and federal court decisions backing

the governor’s emergency powers, but the U.S. Supreme Court more recently has ruled that California unconstitutionally restricted indoor worship services, both in churches and in homes.

“The issue now squarely presented for the high court is whether the separation of powers still exists in California,” they said, expressing confidence that the justices “will uphold this bedrock principle of constitutional government.” ewsom s office called the ruling “a win for public safety and all Californians.” The decision “upholds the state’s ability to save lives and protect Californians in response to a disaster — whether an earthquake, wildfire, or this unprecedented pandemic,” his administration said in a statement. The governor faces a recall election this fall driven in large part by frustration with his management of the crisis. His office said the emergency efforts “have been critical to protecting public health during the pandemic.” Newson issued the nation’s first statewide lockdown order in March 2020 and followed up with a torrent of executive orders, acting unilaterally on everything from halting evictions to allowing marriages to be conducted by video or teleconference. He also suspended school deadlines, gave consumers and businesses more time to pay taxes, changed the rules for public meetings, suspended medical privacy rules, and allowed grocery stores to hand out free single-use bags, among many other changes. The lawsuit itself centered on just one executive order requiring election officials to open hundreds of locations statewide where voters could cast ballots, despite the potential health risk. The Legislature subsequently approved the same requirement, which Newsom said showed he was working with lawmakers. The assemblymen said it showed the governor could often have used the

Why the Big Ten Still Matter – Part 3

Zachary Elliott SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve been looking at God’s Big Ten, the Ten Commandments, and why they still matter. So far, we ve looked at the first four. They primarily deal with how we show our love for God. Today we start looking at the

final six. These primarily deal with how we love others. And according to God, loving others is a huge deal. Jesus himself summed up its importance when he told us, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.” (Matthew 22:37-40) That passage is now the Great Commandment. In it, Jesus summarizes everything we’ve been learning about loving him and are going to learn about loving others. Today we’re going to look at the fifth commandment and why the Big Ten still matter. 5. Honor your father and your mother. God told Moses to teach you to, “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long

in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” (Exodus 20:12) Did you know that God kind of likes your parents? In fact, he is the one who chose them for you. Have you ever stopped to consider that you have the parents God wanted you to have? Now you might be rolling your eyes, saying, “But you don’t know my parents. I think God made a mistake.” Before we get too far into this, let me remind you what God says about rolling our eyes at our parents. He says, “The eye that mocks a father and despises a mother’s instructions will be plucked out by ravens of the valley and eaten by vultures.” (Proverbs 30:17) Read that to your kids before bed. Okay, we don’t have to take that literally, but it gets to the point. We should honor our parents even with our eyes. I know, and God knows, that parents aren’t perfect. For some of you, your parents have been very hurtful. And for others, your

parents have been fantastic. Either way, just like God loves us when we are dishonorable to him, we should honor and love our parents. Did you know that how you treat your parents is directly correlated to how we treat God and how our life turns out? Ephesians 6:1-3 tells us this when it says, “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.” “Honor your father and mother” which is the first commandment with a promise. “So that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.” I don’t know anyone who doesn’t want their life to go well and to be long. Honoring your parents helps with both. No matter what age you are, loving your parents is a godly thing to do. On top of that, you will have a much more enjoyable life if you do. Win, win. This distinguishes you as a child of God. It means you’re doing

what pleases him. Colossians 3:20 says, “Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.” So, do what pleases him. And a special note to parents… Please be godly parents. The world needs strong, Jesus-loving parents. You don’t have to be perfect; be you. But make it easy for your kids to honor you. Set loving boundaries for them, tell them “no” when appropriate, and “yes” when it’s good for them. Shower them with affection and words of affirmation. Be the parent you always wanted. And for God’s sake, get your kids in a Bible-teaching church with a youth group so they can learn how to follow Jesus and obey his Great Commandments. You’ll be better parents if you do.

Southwest Airlines announces new route from Palm Springs to Las Vegas City News Service SPECIAL TO ANZA VALLEY OUTLOOK

Southwest Airlines began yearround service from Palm Springs to Las Vegas Sunday, May 9. There will initially be nonstop flights from Palm Springs International Airport to Las Vegas McCarran International Airport Thursdays, Fridays, Sundays and Mondays. Daily flights will begin in June. Palm Springs City Manager Justin Clifton said the new route is expected to provide economic benefits to the entire region. “This new nonstop flight from Palm Springs to Las Vegas has been one of the most requested routes over the past decade,” Clifton said. “The Coachella Valley and our local hospitality and

tourism partners will see a great economic benefit with this new service.” Southwest Airlines started serving the Coachella Valley in November with flights to Denver, Phoenix and Oakland. It was one of several airlines to announce new or expanded routes to Palm Springs International Airport at the time. “With our nearly 200 flights to 60 cities nonstop from Las Vegas, this quick hop puts more people from across the country within quick reach of all the Coachella Valley has to offer, and helps locals save time in starting vacations, visits with family and friends or doing business,” said Kelly Knox, Southwest Airlines’ community outreach leader for California.

prospective horse owners. “We had an awesome day; loads of good information from knowledgeable professionals. People walked away with some great gifts and prizes. Next time will be even better,” Ryerson-Jodka said. Stacy Kuhns, a Leave No Trace Master Educator instructor for the Center of Outdoor Ethics, gave an interactive and informative presentation illustrating the common-sense methods used to keep wildlands wild and how to do so safely. “We all had so much fun sharing our knowledge with others,” said Kuhns. “Great presentations, laughter and camaraderie. This group has a lot of passion.” Star Milling Company gave away a gift basket and feed samples. Challenger Quarter Horses provided Apple Smacks horse treats and ball caps. Dr. Kevin Fenton gave a talk on veterinary and holistic care for animals with live canine and equine demonstrations. With more than 30 years of traditional veterinary experience, Fenton explained how he couples alternative health practices such as acupuncture and chiropractic adjustments with conventional procedures.

The Anza Civic Improvement League has announced that the nonprofit will be hosting a fundraiser during the month of May. “We will be collecting soft goods for a thrift store in Murrieta called Savers, which will pay us by the pound,” Paola Canaday said. “Many thrift stores were shut down due to COVID and even now many have limited donations that they can accept. As a result, people have had fewer places to turn in their items as they spring clean.” Savers will purchase the items that ACIL collects and the resulting funds will be used to continue to maintain and insure Minor Park and the Little Red Schoolhouse. According to Canaday, soft goods means any clothing articles, including shoes, belts, purses and hats, as well as any household items like rugs, blankets, drapes, sheets and towels. “However, we will not be able to accept any hard items such as books, kitchenware, tools, games, furniture or other household items,” she added. The primary collection event will occur at the Little Red Schoolhouse from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday,

May 15. Persons may leave bagged items with ACIL volunteers inside the Little Red Schoolhouse. Minor Park is not a public park, and it receives no funding from county or state tax dollars. The park and school building are the centerpieces of the town and a hub of activity. From the Anza Summer Nights concert series to car shows and horseshoe tossing contests, the park is one of the special places in Anza. Both the park and the schoolhouse are available to rent for meetings and events. Members may credit 100% of their current membership dues toward rental fees during the same time period. Minor Park and the Little Red Schoolhouse are at Highway 371 at Contreras Road in Anza. For more information or questions about this event, please contact Paola Canaday at 951-809-7587.

The Camp Dutch Oven cooking demonstration provided a delicious presentation of this quickly growing hobby. Sponsors for the event included Earth Song Ranch, Calamity Ranch, Challenger Quarter Horses, Hawthorne Country Store, HomeQuest Realty, Performance E uine, Dr. arry Allen, Starfire Design Studio, Star Milling, Tiny Hearts Mini Rescue, BrakeMasters, Bedrock Salon and Dr. Fenton, VCA. “The day was not only informative, but fun,”ATHYRIO vice president Gail Price said. “My son Christopher talked about hiking

Mt. Whitney. We learned about chiropractic adjustment for horses and dogs and also participated in Dutch oven cooking. We look forward to adding new members to our group - we are about community, education and outdoor adventures.” ATHYRIO is open to all horse owners past, present and future.

Starlink satellite train appears in Anza skies Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

Anza residents were thrilled to witness the SpaceX Starlink-24 satellite train silently cross the moonless night sky May 5. “Wow, that was so exciting and fascinating,” Chandra Noble Sjostrand said. The parade of dozens of tiny lights first became visible to the naked eye at 8:54 p.m. and was observed for about five minutes. The train moved from the southeast to the northeast horizon. Local social media groups reported the event as it occurred. Many people commented on the strange lights, never having witnessed anything quite like it before. “I finally saw them last night and it was pretty cool,” Amy Cort wrote in a post. Starlink is a satellite constellation being constructed by SpaceX

to provide the world’s most advanced broadband internet system. The constellation will include thousands of small satellites in a low earth orbit, which will communicate with transceivers on the ground. At this time, Starlink is offering

initial beta service and is expected to continue to expand to near global coverage of the populated world in 2021. Sixty new satellites were launched to join the train May 9 from Space Launch Complex 40 in Florida.

This was the 10th flight for the Falcon 9 first-stage rocket booster supporting the mission. SpaceX is well known for building rockets and spacecraft. As the world’s leading provider of launch services and the only provider with an orbital class reusable rocket, the company has experience with both spacecraft and on-orbit operations. The SpaceX satellite development facility in Redmond, Washington houses the Starlink research, development, manufacturing and orbit control teams. The cost of the project to design, build and deploy the constellation was estimated by SpaceX in 2018 to be at least $10 billion. Product development began in 2015. Two prototype test-flight satellites were launched in February 2018. Additional test satellites and 60 operational satellites were deployed in May 2019. SpaceX launches up to 60 satellites at a

time, aiming to deploy 1,584 of the 570-pound spacecraft by late 2021 or early 2022. Astronomers have raised concerns about the constellations’ effect on ground-based astronomy and how the satellites will add to an already crowded orbital environment. In response to these concerns, SpaceX has made changes to the design of the Starlink satellites, as well as changes to how the satellites move in space, in order to help reduce the brightness and damage to astronomers’ images. These changes are being implemented in future launches. In the meantime, look to the dark Anza night skies and you may catch a glimpse of the Starlink satellite train before they all go dark.

Hemet attorneys accused in $320K trust fraud City News Service SPECIAL TO ANZA VALLEY OUTLOOK

A Hemet attorney accused of fraudulently altering a senior’s trust account to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars after her death was behind bars May 7. Trent Wayne Thompson, 44, was arrested May 5, following a Riverside County District Attorney s Office investigation that also snared another attorney, Quinton Ray Swanson, who allegedly conspired to aid his co-defendant and business partner. Thompson is charged with grand theft, identity theft, forgery, per-

jury and money laundering, with sentence-enhancing white collar crime allegations. He was being held on $321,000 bail at the Robert Presley Jail in Riverside and was slated to make his initial court appearance May 7. Swanson is charged with identity theft, forgery, perjury and being an accessory to a felony. He’s free on a $10,000 bond. According to the DA s office, Thompson established a living trust for a 95-year-old woman, whose identity was not disclosed, in May 2019. The trust specified that the defendant, designated the “trust protector,” had no benefi-

ciary interest in the event of the victim’s death, prosecutors said. The woman directed that 100% of her estate go to a children’s hospital after her passing, according to investigators. She died in November 2019, and the DA s office said that the next month, Thompson allegedly renamed himself trustee in whole, giving himself full authority over the proceeds. Swanson allegedly notarized the document. “As is required by law, Thompson notified the woman s disinherited relatives of the terms of the trust, but he failed to notify the hospital regarding its interest as

the beneficiary of the trust,” the DA s office stated. The defendant abruptly withdrew $320,500 from the trust and transferred the funds to accounts in his name, prosecutors allege. He purchased a Ford Fusion and airline tickets soon afterward, according to the prosecution. The woman’s relatives learned that none of the money had been turned over to the hospital and filed a lawsuit against Thompson in county Probate Court. Prosecutors allege that the defendant then submitted a document indicating there had been an amendment to the trusts, providing that the hospi-

tal only receive 50% of the estate. “The amended trust was notarized by Swanson,” according to the agency statement. “Thompson also filed an affidavit signed by Swanson stating that he had visited the woman in a care facility eight days before her death, and she had signed the amended trust.” However, an investigation at the facility revealed that the victim had not received any visitors around the time that the attorney stated, according to the DA’s office. The civil suit culminated in the criminal investigation handled by the DA’s Financial Crimes Unit.

Felon accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting boy to stand trial City News Service SPECIAL TO ANZA VALLEY OUTLOOK

A convicted sex offender accused of sexually assaulting a Murrieta boy and arranging for other men to do the same must stand trial on a dozen sex-related felony charges, a judged ruled May 6.

David Everett Leibowitz, 43, of Menifee was charged in August 2018 with three counts of sodomy of a minor, five counts of lewd acts on a child and one count each of allegedly inducing a minor to perform commercial sex acts, child stealing, possession of child pornography and indecent exposure

to a minor. Following a preliminary hearing during which Leibowitz acted as his own attorney, Riverside County Superior Court Judge Randall Stamen found there was sufficient evidence to warrant a trial on all charges and set a post-preliminary hearing arraignment for May 20 at

the Riverside Hall of Justice. Leibowitz remains held without bail at the Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta. His preliminary hearing was repeatedly postponed over the last two years because of his changing attorneys before ultimately deciding to represent himself. The Riverside County District Attorney s Office and Murrieta Police Department personnel jointly investigated the Leibowitz case over a period of months. According to the district attorney’s office, the felon met the victim, identified only as a teenager, via a dating website in January 2015.

Prosecutors allege that Leibowitz had the boy come to his residence, where the defendant committed “multiple violent sex acts” over an unspecified period of time, according to an agency statement. It’s further alleged that he invited other adult males – as yet unidentified to engage in similar acts with the teen. The alleged offenses did not come to light until several years later. It was unclear why. According to court records, Leibowitz has prior convictions for lewd acts on a child under 14 years old and theft. If convicted, he could face life in prison.

RCHCA protects rat, other habitat for 25 years Diane A. Rhodes WRITER

When the Riverside County Habitat Conservation Agency (RCHCA) was created in 1996, it was to protect and defend wildlife that fell under the Endangered Species Act. As a Joint Powers Authority consisting of the County of Riverside and the cities of Corona, Hemet, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Moreno Valley, Murrieta, Perris, Riverside, Temecula and Wildomar, the agency is responsible for managing conserved lands for the Endangered Stephens’ Kangaroo Rat (SKR). The RCHCA is administered by the Western Riverside Council of Governments, a sub-regional planning organization serving 1.8 million residents in Western Riverside County. The conservation agency was formed to plan for, acquire and manage habitat for the SKR and other endangered, threatened and candidate species. “The RCHCA’s mission is to manage conserved and open space lands in Riverside County effectively,” Director of Administration Princess Hester said. “The RCHCA understands the importance of preserving the plants, animals and natural communities. The vision of conservation, coordination, education, and collaboration creates a sense of public appreciation for the environment.” To celebrate its 25th anniversary, the RCHCA is designating May as Conservation Appreciation Month. Several virtual events are scheduled to commemorate this occasion. A calendar of events is posted on its website at www. rchca.us. The theme is Past, Present, and Future of Conservation in Riverside County. There will be two podcasts on the WRCOG channel, called “Cog Cast.” One will be on the SKR Range-wide Management and Monitoring Plan featuring James Gannon, Bureau of Land Management. The second is about the technological advances that have been implemented to sup-

port the agency’s SKR recovery efforts, featuring Chief Scientist Dr. Wayne Spencer and Deanne DiPietro, M.A. Senior Science Coordinator, Conservation Biology Institute. A week of virtual events about Celebrating Endangered Species will lead up to Endangered Species Act Day May 21. The agency will also hold a Future Forward webinar series on the Future of Conservation in Riverside County. This event will interview experts in the field of conservation and research. Annually, the RCHCA typically hosts fifth- and sixth grade students from local school districts in western Riverside County at its reserves. Experts and agency biologists lead students on hikes between hands-on learning stations where they see live animal demonstrations and learn about the importance of conserving natural resources. There is no impact on the school budget because the RCHCA contracts with the schools’ transportation provider and pays for the transportation. More than 1,000 students participated in 2019; the pandemic has put in-person outreach efforts on hold for now. Hester explained that the Stephens’ kangaroo rat is a rodent endemic to western Riverside and northern San Diego counties. In 1988, it was listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), requiring protection throughout its range. “Over the years, the RCHCA has instituted innovative land management practices, funded cutting-edge research and pioneered efforts in support of longrange recovery efforts to stabilize and sustain SKR recovery,” Hester said. “In 1996, the RCHCA received a 30-year incidental take permit.” The permit, issued under Section 10 of the Endangered Species Act to private entities undertaking projects that might result in the destruction or incidental take of an endangered species while al-

lowing the continued development of infrastructure, provided species recovery efforts are implemented. “Since its formation, the RCHCA has designated a regional reserve system of over 40,000 acres of conservation lands of SKR habitat; initiated and funded conservation research to support long-term species recovery and sustainability; implemented environmental education programs to build awareness of endangered species, and generated funding assurances for future land and species management activities,” Hester said. She said the agency’s achievements in species recovery include making the Stephens’ Kangaroo Rat a candidate for downlisting (to threatened species) and several other milestones, such as the region s first-ever public access plan on conserved lands, the establishment of a Rangewide Management and Monitoring Plan, implementation of adaptive management and its support of community engagement through volunteerism and education outreach. Hester has worked for the agency for 14 years and said growing up in the inner city, she always had a love of nature and anything outdoors. She felt her best self when she was at summer camp in the mountains or at the ocean. After earning her master’s degree in public administration, she accepted a position with the RCHCA and discovered her love for the environment. Hester engrossed herself in everything science and realized that to execute her assignment duties fully, she had to know all she could about the science of the endangered Stephens’ Kangaroo Rat (SKR). She now directs a program that encompasses 11 jurisdictions, managing administrative and policy functions for the agency. RCHCA Director of Natural Resources, Brian Shomo, has undergraduate and graduate degrees in population/community ecology and more than 20 years’ experience in managing threatened and

endangered species for government agencies. He said joining the RCHCA 13 years ago allowed him the opportunity to work with a small group of dedicated individuals to develop a management and monitoring program to assist with the long-term recovery goals of an endangered species. “Recognizing that SKR recovery efforts presented uni ue challenges associated with a single species habitat conservation plan that assembled a variety of public and private land to protect the species over the long term was both an exciting opportunity and a serious challenge,” Shomo said. He said that while the RCHCA is only obligated to protect and conserve SKR under the Stephens’ Kangaroo Rat Habitat Conservation Plan, the RCHCA’s SKR reserve system lays the foundation for preserving more than 146 species covered under Western Riverside’s Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). “As new development occurs, conservation in Western Riverside County is intended to stay roughly in step with conservation goals by adding additional lands to the SKR reserves and constructing linkages for movement between them,” Shomo said. “Therefore,

the RCHCA takes a holistic approach to manage species by managing habitat communities rather than focusing on any single species.” An example he gave is that the SKR habitat includes grasslands with scattered shrubs that also make good homes for burrowing owls, snakes, pocket mice and others. By managing the grasslands holistically, the RCHCA lands provide for a stable SKR population and other associated species to assist with achieving the species objectives under the MSHCP. Hester said the agency is extremely proud of its achievements in species recovery. “At this monumental junction, we would like to recognize the original architects of the RCHCA. They are true pioneers that built a solid foundation of conservation excellence, establishing this agency as a leader in our field,” she said. “Our ambitious environmental efforts provide a pathway to balance wildlife conservation, protection of threatened and endangered species and the ecosystem, all while streamlining processes to support economic development within our county.” For more information visit, www.rchca.us.

It’s Skin Cancer Awareness Month: Are you at risk? Understand your likelihood of developing the world’s most common cancer ily history of skin cancer makes a person’s risk even higher. This combination is often referred to as Familial Atypical Multiple Mole Melanoma (FAMMM) syndrome. Wh at Can Y ou Do? No matter your risk factors, The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends a complete sun protection routine including covering up with clothing, hats and UV-blocking sunglasses, seeking shade and avoiding peak sunlight hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). Apply a broadspectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher every day, and for extended outdoor activity, use a water-resistant, broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Be sure to

More people are diagnosed with skin cancer each year in the U.S. than all other cancers combined. It shouldn’t come as a surprise, then, that people of every age, race and gender are affected by the disease. Simply put, if you have skin, you can get skin cancer. However, some people are at higher risk for the disease than others. Understanding the factors contributing to your chances of developing skin cancer can help you prevent the disease. “There is a clear connection between ultraviolet rays from the sun and a higher risk of skin cancer,” Deborah S. Sarnoff, M.D., president of The Skin Cancer Foundation, said. “Everyone should be taking steps to protect themselves, but those with additional risk factors need to be particularly vigilant with their sun protection routine.” Y our Skin Type The first major factor affecting your risk for skin cancer is your skin type. According to the scientific classification known as Fitzpatrick skin typing, there are six types of skin ranging from very fair (type 1) to very dark (type 6). The system classifies skin based on the amount of melanin (skin

pigment) a person has, and their skin’s reaction to sun exposure. People with skin types 1 and 2 face the highest risk of developing skin cancer, while those with skin types 5 and 6 are at the lowest risk. You can visit www.SkinCancer.org/ quiz to find out your skin type. Other physical attributes associated with a lack of melanin can contribute to your risk of skin cancer as well — those with red hair, light eyes and freckles also face greater chances of developing the disease. Y our History of Sun Exposure Unprotected exposure to UV rays, whether outside or in a tanning bed, is a key risk factor for skin cancer as well. Sunburns are especially harmful (just five sunburns can double your risk of

developing melanoma) but even if you tan rather than burn, you’re sustaining sun damage that can lead to DNA mutations. Indoor tanning specifically causes your risk to skyrocket, as one study found that those who first use a tanning bed before age 35 increase their risk for melanoma by 75%. Genetics and Family History If you have close relatives who have been diagnosed with skin cancer, this is a sign you’re also at higher risk. This is especially true when it comes to melanoma: one in every 10 patients has a family member who has also had the disease. Having many moles is another risk factor for melanoma, especially if they are large (bigger than a pencil eraser) or atypical. Having lots of moles and a fam-

reapply sunscreen throughout the day: at least every two hours or more often if you are swimming or excessively sweating. Those with many risk factors may want to use sunscreen products with a higher SPF and be extra vigilant about avoiding incidental sun exposure. The foundation also recommends you see a physician at least once yearly for a professional skin exam (though if you’re at higher risk, you may be instructed to go more frequently). You should also examine your own skin head to toe every month. For more information, visit www.SkinCancer.org. Submitted by The Sk in Cancer F oundation.

Movie Review ‘Demon Slayer: Mugen Train’ Bob Garver SPECIAL TO THE ANZA VALLEY OUTLOOK

Here’s a movie I didn’t expect to be reviewing two weeks ago. I didn’t know how this anime movie from a franchise unknown to me had managed to get such a plum positioning in theaters, but it was sure to lose to “Mortal Kombat” in its opening weekend and the horror movie “Separation” this past weekend. “Mortal Kombat” did indeed win the films opening weekend - $23 million domestically to this film s 21 million, on twice as many screens. I have no doubt that this movie could have pulled a huge upset in just a few hundred more theaters. This past weekend that upset occurred. Not just over “Separation” (I saw it, don’t bother), but over “Mortal Kombat.” “Demon Slayer: Mugen Train” is the No. 1 movie in the country. It should be noted that I am not the best person to be reviewing W ILDF IRES from page A O help can arrive, the American Red Cross said. PrepareSoCal, an American Red Cross multi-region campaign designed to address the needs of individuals and families to prepare for disasters, small and large, by providing tips, tools and training, encourages residents to implement three basic steps when preparing for an emergency. Get a kit Build an easy-to-carry emergency preparedness kit that you can use at home or take with you if you must evacuate. Include items such as water, nonperishable food, a flashlight and extra batteries, a battery-powered radio, first-aid kit and medications. Be sure to also include a cloth face covering for everyone in your household who can wear one safely. Make a plan Talk with members of your household about what to do during emergencies. Plan what to do in case everyone is separated and choose two places to meet – one right outside your home in case of a sudden emergency and another outside your neighborhood, in case you cannot return home or are asked to evacuate. Be sure to share that plan with others. Be informed Know what kinds of emergency

this movie. I’m not a fan of anime in general. I think the animation invariably looks like some sort of rough draft that should have been cleaned up before the comic or cartoon was released. And again, I was not even remotely familiar with the “Demon Slayer” franchise before going into what is essentially “Demon Slayer: The Movie.” I know that “Pokemon,” “DragonballZ,” and “Naruto” have huge fan bases and I wouldn’t be surprised if a movie based on one of those was a hit, but to me, “Demon Slayer” came from out of nowhere and expected me to jump in somewhere in the middle. From what I’ve been able to gather of the plot, the series follows Tanjiro (Natsuki Hanae) as he tries to avenge his family against the demons who killed most of them, save for his sister Nezuko (Akari Kito), who was turned into a demon and now has to travel around caged in a suitcase. He is assisted by his friends, the coward-

situations may occur where you live, where you work and where you go to school. Because of COVID-19, stay current on advice and restrictions from your state and local public health authorities as it may affect your actions and available resources and facilities. Remember that a wildfire can spread quickly, leaving those in its path little time to get to safety. The American Red Cross says that residents near a fire should always be prepared to evacuate at a moment’s notice and obey all evacuation orders from officials. Other tips include backing the car into the garage or parking it outside facing the direction of the evacuation route, confining pets to a single room so they can be found quickly should the need to evacuate arise and limit exposure to smoke and dust by keeping windows and doors closed. When trapped outdoors during a fire crouch in a pond, river or pool. If there is no body of water, those trapped in a fire should look for shelter in a clear area or in a bed of rocks. Those trapped should like flat, face down and cover their bodies with soil. Breathe the air close to the ground to avoid scorching lungs or inhaling smoke. The Red Cross also says not to put wet clothing or bandanas over your mouth or nose as moist air can cause more damage to the airway than dry air at the

ly Zenitsu (Hiro Shimonu) and the headstrong Inosuke (Yoshitsugu Matsuoka). Inosuke, who wears the head of a boar as a mask as a tribute to the pack of boars that raised him, is clearly the most popular character in the franchise. The movie sees the group hop on board a train so they can meet up with famed demon slayer Kyojuro (Satoshi Hino) and hopefully become his apprentices. Kyojuro is happy to take them on, as he is happy about everything in life. He expresses appreciation for each individual bite of food as he chows down. But the train is secretly under attack from wannabe demon Enmu (Daisuke Hirakawa), who wants to destroy our heroes’ souls through his ability to trap them in good dreams. Tanjiro dreams he is back with his family and wants to stay there forever, but he’s needed in a darker place. The movie takes forever to get to its action sequences, and even when it does get to them, the

characters’ powers are so poorly defined that I could never be sure of who was winning. There’s also a second antagonist who shows up later in the movie, and is very out of place in what had up to that point been a surprisingly tight-knit story. There’s a battle sequence that is admittedly impressive, but keeps going after it appears to be over, then restarts after another false finish, then restarts again. After a while, I found myself unable to trust the movie to give me a finish at all. I’m happy for “Demon Slayer: Mugen Train” for achieving its level of success. It’s fun to see an occasional surprise at the box office, especially when the competition is so crummy. But this movie didn’t manage to make me a fan of “Demon Slayer” and its pacing is all out of whack. Remember though, this opinion is coming from a non-fan of the entire anime genre. It is likelier than usual that opinions will differ from mine,

especially for fans of the series. Grade: C“Demon Slayer: Mugen Train” is rated R for violence and bloody images. Its running time is 117 minutes. Contact Bob G arver at rrg2 5 1 @ nyu.edu.

same temperature. ever return home until officials say it is safe to do so. Upon returning home, inspect the roof immediately and extinguish any sparks or embers and check the home for embers that could cause fires; wildfires may have left embers that could reignite. Look for signs of a fire including smoke

or sparks. Other safety tips include avoiding downed power lines, poles and wires, keeping animals on a leash so owners have direct control over them to avoid any hot spots or hidden embers that could burn them. Also, wet down any debris to minimize breathing in dust particles. Be sure to wear leather gloves and

shoes with heavy soles when entering an area that has been burned and throw out any food that has been exposed to heat, smoke or soot. For more information on emergency preparedness and wildfire safety, visit www.redcross.org. K im H arris can be reached by email at anz aeditor@reedermedia. com.
