Cal Fire firefighter receives Medal of Valor

The city of Temecula held its newest event, Temecula CultureFest, in commemoration of World Day for Cultural Diversity, Saturday, May 21, at Town Square Park and Sam Hicks Monument Park in Old Town Temecula.

The free, community-wide, special event included live music, dancing, special performances and fun activities for the entire family.

“Temecula CultureFest provides a unique opportunity for community dialogue through intercultural experiences, engagement, dance and musical performances, activities, marketplace, food from around the world and so much more,” Zak Schwank, mayor pro tem of Temecula and vice president of the Community Services District, said earlier this month.

“We are confident that this annual gathering will become another favorite for years to come.”

Temecula City Council recognizes Fentanyl Awareness Day Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

Temecula City Council, during its Tuesday, May 10, meeting, issued a proclamation for Fentanyl Awareness Day, saying that people needed to be aware of the dangers of fentanyl.

Council set up a video and an exhibit in the foyer before the meeting, something that Mayor Matt Rahn said he hoped everyone in attendance had seen.

“It was launched today, May 10, to raise awareness about illicit fentanyl, fake pills and street drugs, a primary driver in recent increases of drug related deaths,” Rahn said.

Fentanyl is extremely addictive and is involved in more deaths of Americans under the age of 50 than any other cause of death, including heart disease, COVID-19, see COUNCIL, page A-6

PERRIS – Cal Fire Riverside Unit firefighter II Chad Burns received the governor’s Gold Medal of Valor Monday, May 16, at a ceremony at Cal Fire’s Southern Region Headquarters.

Burns, who works out of Station 76 in Menifee, went above and beyond the call of duty March 3, 2020. Around 1 a.m., first responders were dispatched to reports of a confined space rescue in the city of Temecula. When firefighters arrived, it was determined that a victim was yelling for help from a storm water runoff pipe system.

Burns, the primary rescuer, entered the pipe system to reach the victim.

Burns traveled 100 feet into the 18-inch pipe, maximizing the capability of the rescue system where he had to completely stretch out and crawl through the very tight space, as well as crawl backwards

to retreat through the narrow pipe.

In cold and dark stressful conditions, Burns made his way down the pipe system not knowing what was ahead of him. During Burns’ first entry into the pipe, the victim was displaying erratic behavior, verbalizing violent threats to his rescuer. He made a second attempt to rescue the victim after the rope system became detached. Burns took the task upon himself, not wanting his fellow firefighters to experience the conditions that presented during the first attempt.

During the second attempt, the victim retreated further up the pipe system beyond the 300-foot maximum distance that standard rescue systems are able to accommodate.

The victim was eventually talked out of the storm drain system and was transported to a local hospital for further treatment.

“With no regard for his own safety, firefighter II Chad Burns clearly demonstrated bravery and the selflessness to go above and beyond the call of duty. His efforts completely surpassed all expectations of this rescue attempt and put himself at extraordinary risk to save a human life,” Bill Weiser, fire chief of Cal Fire Riverside Unit and Riverside County, said.

Chad Burns received a similar award from the city of Menifee, where Burns is stationed.

“Firefighter Chad Burns is a shining example of heroism and dedication to serving others,” Menifee Mayor Bill Zimmerman said. “We are truly blessed to have someone of his caliber protecting the safety and wellbeing of our community.”

Menifee City Council amends Business License and Regulation ordinance with some changes Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

A lengthy discussion by the Menifee City Council followed the introduction of an amended Business License Ordinance Revision that outlined specific proposed “special” businesses coming into the city that would require background checks and fingerprinting.

The amendment to the ordinance was suggested by the council several months ago when business license fees were outlined and the question came up about how questionable businesses were to be permitted or regulated. Currently a new business license in Menifee costs $109 and has an annual fee of $39. The city has taken steps to encourage new businesses to come into the city as the city continues to grow.

The amended ordinance was suggested with the assistance of the community development department and the police department presented a long list of those questionable or “special” businesses that might want to come into the city and what would be required of them to gain a license to operate.

The council made it clear that the cost of gaining a business license was not a tax, like many other cities have, but a fee charged by the city.

Following the discussion a number of the “special” businesses on the list were being removed, particularly those involving possible veterans, service organizations, nonprofits and home businesses, like tutors or teachers.

The questionable list of special businesses initially included those like massage parlors, bail bond enforcement, pawn brokers, car and motorcycle dismantlers, card rooms, vehicle repossession and fortune tellers. Those businesses and employees sometimes break the law, according to the police department. Fingerprinting, records servicing and FBI background check might be needed before the license is approved by the city at the added cost of the applicant, approximately $200.

“Wherever possible our intent

is not to complicate the process for our businesses and streamline our processes.” Rochelle Clayon, Menifee assistant city manager said at the public hearing.

In discussion, Councilmember Matt Liesemeyer asked if it were still necessary to have some of the special businesses to have a background check when they have already been made by the federal or state government. Menifee police Capt. Dave Guiterrez said they would still be required to have a nominal $25 in-house background check. Liesemeyer said some people who do local handy work out of their homes and are licensed may not need a background check.

Mayor Pro Tem Dean Deines questioned why a firearms dealer, as listed as a special business, would need a background check when they are already required to be licensed by the federal government. Guiterrez said while some are licensed by the government, there are some firearms dealers who work out of their homes.

“We would have to do our due diligence on them,” Guiterrez said and a background check would be required. “We are not looking to do a heavy hand with these things, but we want to make sure of the community’s safety.”

Councilmember Lesa Sobek said she was concerned about the doorto-door salespeople.

“I hate to point them out, But (what about) solar companies and bug companies that come to your door often?” Sobek said.

She asked if they should show a business license for the company?

The staff replied they were working on a more “robust” ordinance about door-to-door sales, and they do need to have some identification.

They suggested residents who don’t want salespeople at their door to put up a “No Solicitations” sign to fend them off. State law prohibits city’s having business licenses for door-to-door nonprofits or political solicitations.

Deines learned there is an appeal process to a business being denied licenses.

Reality Rally founder Gillain Larson presents the city of Menifee with a trophy for winning the Inter City Challenge portion of the Reality Rally Amazing Race-style game Wednesday, May 18. Menifee unseated longtime champions Lake Elsinore to take home the trophy at the event which raises funds for Michelle’s Place Cancer Resource Center.

Liesemeyer saw what he considered some questionable business on the special list and asked if some of those could be at the discretion of the police chief. Guiterrez said some would be at the discretion of the chief. Staff said that would be put into the suggested ordinance and the title of the ordinance be changed to business licenses and regulations.

The changes suggested by council were to be put into the final ordinance.

In other business, the council learned the improvements at the Lazy Creek Recreation Center and parking lot have been completed, and it soon will be used to a greater extent for city events.

Earlier in the meeting, Sobek was honored by the council and Sen. Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh’s representative for being named 2022 Woman of Year by the senator. Also given special recognition was Menifee firefighter II Chad Burns who was named the governor’s State Employee Medal of Valor Award recipient in the highest honor a state employee can receive. He risked

his life, crawling a long distance through an 18-inch pipe to rescue a trapped man in Temecula.

The Reality Rally trophy from the popular fundraiser for Michelle’s Place Cancer Resource Center in Temecula was presented

to the team from the city of Menifee, which won the special event this year taking it away from Lake Elsinore’s team after many years.

Inmate found dead in cell at Southwest County Jail City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

An investigation was underway recently into the death of an inmate at the Cois M. Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta.

The man, whose identity was not immediately released, was found unconscious about 8:40 a.m.

Tuesday, May 17, in a cell at the southwest Riverside County jail, according to sheriff’s Capt. David Holm.

After the man was discovered, correctional deputies and medical personnel initiated life-saving mea-

sures, but to no avail, Holm said.

The inmate was pronounced dead at 8:58 a.m.

“There are no signs of foul play,” the captain said, adding that an autopsy was pending.

There was no word on why the man was incarcerated, or how long he had been at the facility.

His was the second in-custody death in the county in the last three weeks. A female inmate died at the Robert Presley Detention Center during the last week of April.

There was no evidence of homicide, but sheriff’s officials have not released any further details.

Riverside County Sheriff’s Department Reunification program brings families together Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

Temecula police are working to safely bring families back together, including those with special needs should they go missing.

Created by Craig Roberts and Riverside County Sheriff’s Department Lt. Christian Dekker, the program is a partnership between the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department and the special needs community that helps sheriffs reunite those with special needs in the community with their loved ones.

“Sheriff Chad Bianco wanted us to create a program to help our special needs community, so a committee was formed with multiple disciplines within our department and community members,” Dekker explained in a prerecorded video played during a recent Temecula City Council meeting.

Once the committee was formed, it researched what other agencies with similar programs were doing.

They used the best parts of other programs to develop what they felt would meet the local community’s needs the best, Dekker said.

Dekker, who is the father of five children, said that his middle son Austin is autistic and that experience gives him a unique perspective to be able to understand what family members are going through.

“A couple of years ago, Austin went missing,” he said. “It was a

very scary time for my family as Austin has problems with communication, his situational awareness and his distrust of others.

“There was a lot of uncertainty, he said, adding that he and his wife were panic stricken.

“I mean, my job is to help people, and I couldn’t even help my own family at the time,” he said, adding that after hours of waiting, not knowing and feeling helpless, Austin was eventually found.

Dekker said he could not stress enough how important it is for emergency personnel to have the information about those who are special needs before those first responders actually need it.

“It will help the deputies in the field respond to the location where that individual might be, rather than responding to your house, gathering that information and then going and looking for the individual,” he said. “That time is critical.”

The program, he said, is important to the community, especially the special needs community.

“They have a special vulnerability that the other communities might not have,” he said. “There might be issues with communicating, listening, they may be at times aggravated and so this program allows us to know the individuals needs and how to best assist them in their moment of crisis.”

“This is just part of the remarkable stuff the sheriff department does along with our great part-

nership within our community,” Mayor Matt Rahn said. “It’s such a powerful program, such an important piece of law enforcement and public safety.”

Dekker said that the reunification program was “just another tool” the Sheriff’s Department had to serve the community.

“It’s something that we are very pleased to have,” he said, adding that the department averages

about 43 hits on the site each day.

“It’s not just for autism, anybody that has any disability with any issues … anything that we can do to reunite family members with their loved ones, that’s what we are here for.”

Dekker said his department was working on other programs as well.

“This is just the beginning,” he said.

Residents can enroll in the special needs unification process by contacting any Riverside County Sheriff’s Station to set up an appointment and register in person, or visit http://www.riversidesheriff.org and under the community tab, click on “Special Needs Reunification Program.”

I am naive to think I understand the meaning of the word sacrifice. It means “a giving up of something for something else”. I have often sacrificed my time, my money, and many a desire, but to risk your life and safety for the freedom of others is by far a greater sacrifice. I have never seen death on the battlefield nor the loss of a loved one serving our country, yet I reap the benefits on a daily basis.

We celebrate Memorial Day not only to remember those who have fallen, but also to reflect on the cause for which they gave their lives. Those we honor on Memorial Day have sacrificed it all so that we can enjoy the safety and freedom we so often take for granted — and one of the greatest ways to pay our respects to the fallen is to appreciate these gifts. So when you and your friends are talking politics and religion at your Memorial Day barbecue, remember the many men and women who fought to protect this freedom.

Community Outreach Ministry hosts spring technology event for at-risk youth WILDOMAR – Community Outreach Ministry co-founders Mona Salomo-Davies and her husband Bob Davies sponsored another successful technology event in April for at-risk youth.

Salomo-Davies and her husband who is known as STEM Coach Bob to children because of his extensive background in the aerospace industry collaborated with another nonprofit organization for the Saturday, April 16, event “Gearing Up for STEM: Mentor Protégé Workshop.”

Community Outreach Ministry is dedicated to helping youth who have one or both parents in prison.

The organization’s goal is to empower these youth both socially and academically and technology workshops have become just one of the many venues through which the Davies help at-risk youth improve their social and academic skills.

The 2022 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Technology Day Camp was held at the Murrieta Public Library in cooperation with Angel Tree A Program of Prison Fellowship; another organization dedicated to helping the children and families of incarcerated parents. The science kits for the youth were made possible through the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office Special Fund Grant Program. The funding is used to develop and maintain intervention programs that combat drug abuse and divert gang activ-

ity for high-risk elementary and secondary school age children.

These children of incarcerated parents who are known as Angel Tree children were invited to the event by Community Outreach Ministry; an event in which youth can improve their STEM skills by building robots with both community mentors and older youth.

The nonprofit thanked STEM volunteers Ankoma Hose, Realtor and U.S. Marine Corps veteran from Menifee; Rolando Zeledon, area director of Mission Increase Inland Valleys from Eastvale; Tim and Hugh Carney, founders of Galleria Menifee, and Jacori Neal, a college student from Lake Elsinore. Neal has benefited over the years from the programs and activities offered by Community Outreach Ministry and Angel Tree A Program of Prison Fellowship.

Neal, a self-taught computer software technician, enjoys building, programming and demonstrating his robots at workshops. Children between eight and 18 are eligible to participate in the STEM mentorprotégé workshops; workshops designed to enhance reading, critical thinking and problem-solving skills in a small group or team setting.

Another volunteer integral to the success of the technology camp was Janice Hare, assistant coordinator for Angel Tree in Wildomar who was instrumental in bringing together the many children and families who attended the event.

COUNCIL from page A-1 cancer and all other accidents, according to the CDC, Rahn said, reading from the proclamation.

Teen deaths linked to fentanyl have tripled in the past two years and, Rahn said, adding that an amount the equivalent of two grains of sands can kill a person. Four out of 10 counterfeit pills tested by the DEA contained a deadly dose of fentanyl and seizures of those counterfeit pills have increased by more than 500% since 2019.

Rahn said that 9.5 million pills were seized in the past year alone, exceeding the total number of counterfeit pills seized for the previous two years combined.

Since the practice of cutting fentanyl into counterfeit pills is “fairly new” awareness of the deadly drugs is low, so education is key to reverse the tragic outcomes, Rahn said as he called on the community to help awareness of the deadly drug.

Fentanyl is the number one killer of Americans ages 18-50, Matt Capelouto, who took to the podium following the reading of the proclamation, said, adding it had been more than two years since his daughter,

Alexandra Capelouto, died by fentanyl poisoning in 2019.

“I had a beautiful 20-year-old daughter home from college while on Christmas break,” he said. “In moments, within her bedroom with everyone she loved under the same roof, she was poisoned with a lethal dose of fentanyl.

“She died alone,” he said. “Just like that, she was gone.”

Capelouto has fought against the dangers of fentanyl by sharing his story numerous times since he lost his daughter. Speaking to news media, he stressed education about the dangers of the drug.

“Educating the public, especially our young people, about the dangers of taking a pill that might be counterfeit and rife with the synthetic opioid fentanyl, is our goal,” Capelouto told Valley News in November 2021.

During the May 10 Temecula City Council meeting, he shared the same message, saying that shortly after his daughter’s death he learned three others ages 17 to 20 had died within two weeks of each other, poisoned the same way as Alexandra.

“They took a pill they thought was pharmaceutical grade but that wasn’t what they were sold,” he said. “They

“Fun in the sun, youth having fun, robots abuzz and food we love,” Hare said. “This was the atmosphere at the Spring Technology Day Camp workshop sponsored by COM.

A donation of $202 was made on behalf of the families to the Prison Fellowship organization in celebration of “Second Chance Month” a program that strives to help individuals who were formerly incarcerated reenter society, according to its website https://www. prisonfellowship.org/.

The Davies expressed their gratitude to California Family Life Center – Planet Youth Ruth Stanton and Desiree Rivera of Lake Elsinore serving youth 16-24 with education and work experience. And, to Tom Chitwood of Camp Agape and team for registering youngsters ages 7-17 for summer camp. Camp Agape has a saying, “there is nothing in this world like changing the life of a child.” To register, visit http:// campagapecalifornia.com or call 951-741-6288.

Coach Cynthia Duran of Sewing Stories Arts and Crafts hosted a booth at the workshop. Duran, who has worked with at-risk youth for years on arts and crafts projects commented that she will “always learn so much from the children when they are creating their artwere sold a counterfeit pill made simply of a lethal dose of illegally manufactured fentanyl.”

The sometimes-emotional Capelouto said he learned that the man who sold the pills knew that the fentanyl could kill those who took the pills and that he became outraged. He knew he had to do something.

“Drug dealers are poisoning people of all ages with counterfeit pills made of illicit fentanyl in an effort to fuel addiction while being fully aware that some of these people will die,” he said.

Capelouto said Fentanyl Awareness Day was bittersweet for him.

He was glad to see that the local, state and national governments were recognizing the fact that the deadly counterfeit pills were making their way into the communities but that everyday he and his family missed his daughter and the “smart, funny and deeply empathetic young lady who grew up in Temecula and was attending Arizona State University on a full academic scholarship.”

He said as a father, he worried about many things taking his children from him, but her dying from fentanyl poisoning was not one of those things.

“That is why our family has fought to educate, inform and effect change in our legal system to begin to hold these drug dealers or rather, death dealers, the cartels and the manufacturers of this highly lethal, man made drug accountable,” Capelouto said, adding that he has traveled across the country speaking to city councils, district attorneys and state and federal lawmakers and even heads of state to inform and educate them to the dangers of fentanyl.

“We have more work to do and that is why I am here today,” he said. “Please listen to me. This is an unprecedented disaster being inflicted upon our communities by drug cartels and dealers solely to lead people down the destructive road of addiction with complete disregard for the lives that will be lost simply to fuel their greed.

“Our community must come together, right here and right now,” Capelouto said. “I implore each and everyone of you to join me in this fight, educate yourself, your classmates, your friends, your neighbors, your family members and anyone you can talk to about this. Your life, their life, our lives depend on it.”

SIGNS OF OVERDOSE Recognizing the signs of opioid overdose can save a life. Here are some things to look for: • Small, constricted “pinpoint pupils” • Falling asleep or losing consciousness • Slow, weak, or no breathing • Choking or gurgling sounds • Limp body • Cold and/or clammy skin • Discolored skin, especially in lips and nails • What to do if you think someone is overdosing • It may be hard to tell whether a person is high or experiencing an overdose. If you aren’t sure, treat it like an overdose, you could save a life.

• Call 911 immediately.

• Administer naloxone, if available.

• Try to keep the person awake and breathing.

• Lay the person on their side to prevent choking.

• Stay with the person until emergency assistance arrives. *Most states have laws that may protect a person who is overdosing or the person who called for help from legal trouble.

DEA FACTS ABOUT FENTANYL Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid typically used to treat patients with chronic severe pain or severe pain following surgery.

Fentanyl is about 100 times more potent than morphine.

Illicit fentanyl, primarily manufactured in foreign clandestine labs and smuggled into the United States through Mexico, is being distributed across the country and sold on the illegal drug market.

Fentanyl is being mixed in with other illicit drugs to increase the potency of the drug, sold as powders and nasal sprays, and increasingly pressed into pills made to look like legitimate prescription opioids. Because there is no official oversight or quality control, these counterfeit pills often contain lethal doses of fentanyl, with none of the promised drugs.

There is significant risk that illegal drugs have been intentionally contaminated with fentanyl.

Because of its potency and low cost, drug dealers have been mixing fentanyl with other drugs including heroin, methamphetamine and cocaine, increasing the likelihood of a fatal interaction.

DEA analysis has found counterfeit pills ranging from .02 to 5.1 milligrams, which is more than twice the lethal dose of fentanyl per tablet.

42% of pills tested for fentanyl contained at least 2 mg of fentanyl, considered a potentially lethal dose.

Drug trafficking organizations typically distribute fentanyl by the kilogram. One kilogram of fentanyl has the potential to kill 500,000 people.

According to the CDC, synthetic opioids, like fentanyl, are the primary driver of overdose deaths in the United States. Comparison between 12 months-ending Jan. 31, 2020, and the 12 months-ending Jan. 31, 2021, during this period: Overdose deaths involving opioids rose 38.1%.

Overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids, primarily illicitly manufactured fentanyl, rose 55.6% and appear to be the primary driver of the increase in total drug overdose deaths.

To learn more about the dangers of fentanyl, visit the Riverside County District Attorney website at https:// rivcoda.org and click on “Dangers of Fentanyl.”

Editor’s note; The man accused of supplying Alexandra Capelouto the pills, Brandon Michael McDowell of San Bernardino was indicted in January on one count of distribut-

ing fentanyl resulting in a fatality, following a nearly two-year investigation into Capelouto’s death. If convicted, he could face a minimum 20-year sentence, and a maximum of life in prison without the possibility of parole, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

LOCAL EQUESTRIAN from page A-1 Becky Polk said. “Many of the foundations only support children 18 and under with disabilities and special needs.”

But thanks to a sponsorship from Cops4Kids & Communities, Ashley has continued what she has come to love so much, spending time at the center. Her mother, Chrissie Giudice, said therapeutic riding has helped her daughter’s balance, posture and emotional health.

“She has had many friends while attending riding here, so it also helped her with her speech and gave Ashley the feeling of being accepted by others,” Giudice said. “She has more confidence.

While she is here, she will show and tell people how to do things like tacking the horses and teaching the others.”

Polk said these results are just some of the reasons why sponsorships are so important.

“They are providing support for a demographic that typically is overlooked by other sources. A huge need we have is sponsors/ donors who are willing to support adults with disabilities and special needs,” she said.

Cops4Kids & Communities Executive Director Jeff Penn attended an open house at T.H.E. Center with some members of his board of directors and Ashley was the featured rider during the event.

He said they were captivated by her joy and asked how they could help her continue riding. That is when the sponsorship began.

“Our goal as a nonprofit is to help other nonprofits,” Penn said.

Guidice said it was important to secure a sponsorship that would allow for Ashley to ride every Saturday. The cost of a private lesson is $50 and group lessons are $35, but the benefits have been priceless.

“Riding here has helped her,” Guidice said. “When she was younger, she had lots of emotional outbursts on weeks we were unable to attend. Plus, she also really enjoys coming here. I call this her happy place. Ashley can be having a horrible morning and after spending time here she is in a better mood, and it always brings a smile to her face.”

Ashley, who can ride off-lead, said riding helps her keep her back straight and helps her with her balance. She also retrieves the needed tack and helps prepare her horse for riding. Volunteer Alison McLaren said Ashley is one of the more competent riders she works with.

Polk explained that scholarship students receive funding from foundations or organizations after an application is submitted containing information about the child, diagnosis and financial need.

The foundation or organization decides whether to fund them or not.

Sponsorships are businesses, service groups or even families and individuals wanting to sponsor a specific child to give them the gift of a healthy life. If the sponsor does not have a specific child in mind, T.H.E. Center decides.

Fostering a particular horse can be done with a monthly contribution and there is also the opportunity to leave a legacy gift that can benefit the nonprofit for years to come.

Polk said that students are placed

into group lessons or private lessons based on a series of factors such as diagnosis, mobility, level of comfort with/on a horse and weight. For example, she said a student with cerebral palsy would need three to four adults, including the instructor, to assist them during their lesson. Thus, they would only be able to be serviced via private lessons. Another example would be a student on the autism spectrum who may need to work on their communication and social skills. A group lesson would provide the best environment for them to focus on those skills.

Therapeutic horseback riding provides a multisensory outdoor experience that benefits those with disabilities and special needs. It helps improve mobility, flexibility and sensory integration as well as social and verbal skills. It also helps strengthen core muscles and assists riders to attain confidence and independence while connecting them to a stable community of peers that can help them discover their full potential.

Student sponsorships/scholarships, student tuition, grants for program development or general operation, fundraisers and donations from service clubs and the general public cover the cost of horse care, program materials such as tack and games and program expenses. T.H.E. Center’s monthly operating costs are about $13,000.

They have eight full-sized horses, one miniature horse and one miniature donkey.

“Two of our horses are currently in training or rehabilitation,” Polk said. “One of our horses is in sanctuary, meaning that they are too old to be used in lessons. However, because she dedicated many years of service to our community and T.H.E., she will live out the rest of her years in our care.”

She explained that some grant funding is for students with a specific diagnosis while others are for specific activities or programs.

The Soboba Foundation has been a strong and diverse supporter of T.H.E. Center, providing grant funding for the construction of a Sensory Trail and for horse care such as feed and medical expenses.

Stater Bros. Charities has supported the care of the horses and provided funding for its riding program.

The only paid positions are executive director, program director, development director and four ranch attendants.

“We rely very heavily on our volunteers to assist with lessons, horse care and ranch maintenance,” Polk said. “We do prove appreciation through Volunteer Riding Days where volunteers learn how to ride, Pizza Days and other volunteer appreciation activities. In addition, if a volunteer is very interested and shows commitment and dedication, there is always an opportunity for them to be hired. Many of our past instructors started out with us a volunteer as young as 13, learned the ropes as a volunteer and then were hired when they turned 18.”

Aside from therapeutic riding lessons, Polk and her staff offer many community events at the

five-acre property at 27260 Girard Street in Hemet. They open their ranch doors to promote a sense of community, provide disability awareness and offer family fun.

Last year’s summer camp was a sold-out success and Polk and her crew are looking forward to three exciting weeklong camps this year. Open to all children ages 5-12, Polk said they are proud to provide an inclusive environment for kids to enjoy crafts, water games, horseback riding, horsemanship skills and more. The camps are scheduled for Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to noon June 6-10, 13-17 and 20-24. The cost is $225 per week and sponsorships are available for low-income families.

Also being planned is a craft fair at the property, a service club Family Round-up BBQ at the end of June and holiday-themed fundraising events.

“What I personally like is that the T.H.E. Center is very peaceful.

Just coming here while Ashley rides and being around the horses is relaxing,” Guidice said. “I really like how this organization helps build the confidence in their students while doing something that is enjoyable.”

Serving the community since 1984, T.H.E. Center is dedicated to improving the cognitive, physical and psychological abilities of individuals through its nurturing therapeutic horsemanship program. There are about 25 students, aged 5-71, enrolled in its riding programs.

“Being here makes me happy and calms me down,” Ashley said.

“I come almost every Saturday and volunteer when I can, helping kids with their riding.”

Polk said the goal of T.H.E. Center is to create an inclusive environment that promotes the human-animal bond.

“Our motto is YOU belong here!” she said.

It’s hard to think of anything positive to say about “Firestarter,” from the acting to the script to the action to the movie’s need to exist. Ooh, I liked the score, with contributions from original “Halloween” director/composer John Carpenter. But this movie is terrible on pretty much every other level. If you really want to see it, it’s playing in theaters and stream-

ing on Peacock. But it certainly isn’t worth your money, and even if you consider streaming “free,” it’s still not worth your time.

Grade: D “Firestarter” is rated R for violent content. Its running time is 94 minutes.

Movie Review: ‘Firestarter’ Bob Garver SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

It’s the week after a big blockbuster in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” and you know that means: I’m going to review a movie that got absolutely stomped at the box office. There can be respectable runners-up in busy holiday seasons, but very rarely does something worthwhile open right after that first-weekendin-May extravaganza, especially when the MCU is involved. Make no mistake, Universal sent this movie out to die, its only audience comprised of people who “have” to see a movie every week – people like me, come to think of it. And being sent out to die is exactly the kind of release this

movie deserves.

The film is based on a Stephen King novel about a girl with telekinetic powers that can cause deadly destruction when emotionally triggered. Not “Carrie,” a different one, though I can’t help but think that giving the main character a name that’s about two letters off isn’t going to make it seem less derivative. 11-year-old Charlie, played by Ryan Kiera Armstrong. can start fires with her mind whenever she wants and sometimes when she doesn’t want. It’s basically the opposite problem as the main character from a certain children’s movie, and yes, I did sarcastically sing “Let It Go” a few times while watching this garbage.

The adults in Charlie’s life don’t know what to do with her. Her

Sudoku

by Myles Mellor and Susan Flanagan Each Sudoku puzzle consists of a 9X9 grid that has been subdivided into nine smaller grids of 3X3 squares. To solve the puzzle each row, column and box must contain each of the numbers 1 to 9. Puzzles come in three grades: easy, medium and difficult.

Level: Medium

father Andy, played by Zac Efron, who himself has some limited powers of mind control, wants her to suppress her power. Her mother Vicky, played by Sydney Lemmon, wants her to learn to use it responsibly. Shady corporate type Hollister, played by Gloria Reuben, wants to weaponize her.

Dr. Wanless, played by Kurtwood Smith, wants to kill her because she’s just too dangerous. All things considered, I think I agreed with Wanless the most. Are you happy, movie? You convinced me that it’s best if the little girl dies.

Hollister sends assassin Rainbird, played by Michael Greyeyes. to abduct Charlie, with the parents’ lives as a “secondary concern.”

Soon Charlie and Andy are on the run, with Andy quickly realizing that suppression isn’t going to be an option anymore. They hitch a ride with reluctant farmer Irv, played by John Beasley, in a sequence that is supposed to be heartwarming, but really just makes me wonder why Andy used his mind control powers to get Irv to give them a ride instead of getting him to give them his truck. The whole thing ends in a top-secret facility where Charlie gleams completely the wrong lesson from an earlier story from a story Andy told her earlier about taking lives.

Among the many, many things wrong with this movie is that the fires Charlie starts just aren’t scary.

Explosions are one thing, but fires poofing into existence don’t have the same impact. It’s why I was so disappointed with that 2018 “Halloween” update when Jamie Lee Curtis chose to burn her house down instead of blowing it up. The fires in this movie do leave burns that are grotesque, but the makeup is so unconvincing that I doubt they’ll register as traumatic.

RUHS receives statewide recognition for high-quality maternal care MORENO VALLEY – In time for Women’s Health Month, Riverside University Health System – Medical Center received three awards for providing outstanding maternity care.

The California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative honored RUHS – Medical Center with three Quality and Engagement Awards.

The MDC Superstar Award for medium-sized birth volume hospitals is awarded to hospitals with between 1,000 and 2,499 annual births that exhibited high levels of engagement in the Maternal Data Center, a web application that provides benchmarking data, quality metrics and performance reports for hospital personnel.

The MDC Early Implementers Award is awarded to hospitals that fully implemented a complete set of MDC safety standards for hypertension and preeclampsia and

completed more than six months of associated data collection in 2021.

The Quality & Sustainability Award NTSV Cesarean Birth Rate is awarded to hospitals that met and maintained the Healthy People 2020 and Healthy People 2030 target rates for low-risk Cesarean section births among first-time pregnancies for three consecutive years.

Dr. Bryan Oshiro, a maternalfetal medicine specialist at RUHS – Medical Center, said the awards demonstrate RUHS’s commitment to providing the highest level of maternity care.

“At RUHS, we provide exceptional maternity care to everyone, from the lowest risk pregnancies to the highest. These awards are a testament to our team’s skill, expertise and dedication to women’s health,” Oshiro said.

CMQCC is a nationally recognized organization that focuses on

improving hospital-based maternity care in California. Their Quality and Engagement Awards Program recognizes member hospitals for going above and beyond in their commitment to quality improvement in maternity care.

Temecula Valley Hospital announces master facility expansion plan TEMECULA – Temecula Valley Hospital announced its master facility plan that includes significant expansion over the next several years. Proposed construction will deliver an integrated delivery system of inpatient and outpatient care to support the health care needs of the region. The proposal for the master facility plan has been submitted to the city of Temecula for an environmental impact report and will be announced/ opened for public review in June.

Presentations to the Planning Commission will occur in October and will be submitted to the city council in December 2022.

“We have been strategically planning for this expansion of TVH on its 37-acre property from the very start and we are excited to be at a point where we can share our vision with key stakeholders and the community,” Darlene Wetton, CEO of Temecula Valley Hospital, said. “In just under 10 years, I have witnessed this hospital grow at an astounding rate.

We have positioned ourselves as an advanced health care facility in the region, offering innovative treatments and award-winning care of the highest quality to our patients. As our local and sur-

rounding populations continue to grow, so too must our hospital to support the increasing health needs of our communities. During the pandemic, we realized that we needed to rethink our approach to health care and the services we provide for our patients. The addition of a behavioral health hospital is integral to TVH becoming a comprehensive system of care for our community and the region.”

Temecula Valley Hospital opened in fall 2013, under the first phase of the master facility plan. The hospital, which currently employs 900, includes a 140-bed tower with five cardiac cath labs, five operating rooms and an endoscopy suite. The hospital achieved several national quality and safety awards and served thousands of individuals over the past eight years.

The hospital is nationally recognized for patient safety designated

by The Leapfrog Group as a Top Hospital in both 2017 and 2020.

Recent accolades have seen Temecula Valley Hospital recognized

by U.S. News & World Report’s Best Hospitals 2021-2022 for heart attack, heart failure and COPD, as well as named top 10% in the nation by Healthgrades for cardiac surgery. The hospital is a DNV

Certified Comprehensive Stroke Center, designated in 2021 and received seven Women’s Choice Award Achievements as One of America’s Best Hospitals for Stroke Care and One of America’s Best Hospitals for Patient Safety.

“This is an exciting time for TVH as we take steps towards realizing our plans for expansion,” TVH Board Chair Jerry Konchar said. “Our mission to deliver exceptional and compassionate care is at the core of what our amazing teams do here every day. As we continue to build and grow, we remain committed to transforming the health care experience though compassion, trust, courage and innovation.”

The second phase of the hospital’s master facility plan includes the construction of a new 120-bed freestanding facility for behavioral health services; increasing the number of emergency treatment bays from 21 to 30 and providing additional training space for the growing Graduate Medical Education Residency program. The addition of a new Medical Office Building will expand the hospital’s ambulatory services supporting the Cardiology and Neurosciences Center of Excellence that

TVH recognizes the extension of hospital services are imperative in supporting the community and creating a comprehensive network of inpatient and outpatient care. Plans are also underway for a new fourstory tower with 82 patient beds with expanded ICU and stroke services. The master facility plan was designed to address and serve the health care needs of the com-

munity for years to come.

“We are also committed to increasing the number of physicians in the region through our exceptional UHS GME So Cal Residency programs that are centered at TVH,” Wetton said.

“Our city has grown; our region has grown and TVH is prepared to grow alongside it and deliver high-quality care that the community can trust.”

Assistance League Thrift Shop temporarily closes

This photo shows flooding throughout the halls of the Assistance League Thrift shop at 28720 Via Montezuma in Temecula following a flooding incident which has forced the temporary closure of the shop.

Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

The Assistance League Thrift Shop has temporarily closed due to needed repairs following a flooding incident.

According to AL representative Electra Demos, Assistance League volunteers opened the Assistance League Thrift Shop doors, Monday, May 16, and stepped into 2 inches of standing water.

“It was discovered that a toilet in the front of the shop had malfunctioned,” she said. “The ladies immediately turned off the water to the toilet. Home Perfect Restoration was called and were onsite within minutes to assess the damage and start extracting the water.”

Demos said there was “extreme water damage” to the entire office

suite, the Boutique Department area, the register area and entry of the shop.

“Since it was black water, the process of cleaning and sanitizing the areas will have to be completed with caution,” Demos said. “All surfaces that came into contact with water are being removed. All items that could be saved were packed and removed to storage areas.”

The store plans to reopen as soon as the damage is repaired, something Assistance League said would be completed as soon as possible.

“The damage was extensive,” chapter house manager Cindy Jasperson said. “We are confident when the restoration is complete and it is safe for our members, volunteers and customers, we will reopen.”

Floodwaters stand inside the doorway of the Assistance League Thrift shop at 28720 Via Montezuma in Temecula following a flooding incident which has forced the temporary closure of the shop.

The building located at 28720 Via Montezuma in Temecula, originally housed Rancho Lanes which closed in 1992 and reopened as Pinky’s Bowl West. Assistance League of Temecula Valley purchased the property in 1996.

“Customers were notified about the closure of the thrift shop via the weekly email sales ad distribution and on the Assistance League Facebook and Instagram pages,” Demos said. “Updates will be sent out to keep the community informed of the progress being made. Donations of gently used items cannot be accepted during this time.”

Mary Murphy, president of Assistance League of Temecula Valley said she wanted to thank their “loyal customers, donors and volunteers for their support and

EMWD allocated $10,517,200 of county ARPA infrastructure money Joe Naiman WRITER

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors had previously allocated $82 million of American Rescue Plan Act revenue for infrastructure projects. The county supervisors allocated $10,571,200 of that for Eastern Municipal Water District capital improvements Tuesday, May 17.

The supervisors’ 5-0 vote authorizes the county’s Executive Office to sign a funding agreement with the Eastern Municipal

Water District and authorizes the $10,571,200 for three specific EMWD projects. The funding will provide $5,011,200 for the Northern Wine Country Sewer Rancho California Road Phase II project, $4,120,000 for the Southern Wine Country Sewer De Portola Road/ Anza Road infrastructure and $1,440,000 for the Mission Canyon II pump station replacement.

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 included $350 billion of Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds allocations for eligible state, territorial, tribal

and local governments. The funding addresses the public health emergency and economic impacts of the coronavirus epidemic and can be utilized for four eligible categories: mitigation of negative economic impacts, premium pay for eligible workers performing essential work, provision of government services lost revenue would have eliminated and necessary infrastructure investments including water, sewer and broadband.

The Oct. 19, board of supervisors meeting approved the allocation of $65,000,000 of ARPA funds for

infrastructure projects in Riverside County. On Jan. 6, the United States Department of the Treasury issued its final funding guidelines which broadened the allowable use of ARPA funds to include disproportionately impacted communities’ projects which improve health and safety outcomes including increased access. On Feb. 8, the board of supervisors increased the infrastructure allocation to $82 million which provides for $15 million per supervisorial district and $7 million for the Broadband Affordability Program.

The Northern Wine Country Sewer Rancho California Road Phase II project will plan, design, construct, operate and maintain 4,300 feet of 12-inch diameter sewer main and 9,700 feet of 8-inch sewer main and will also install laterals to property lines along Rancho California Road, Glen Oaks Road, Warren Road and East Benton Road. The project will extend an existing sewer line which currently runs along Rancho California Road between Butterfield Stage Road and Monte Del Oro Road. The sewer project will reduce the number of septic systems leaching into groundwater and thus improve water quality.

The total estimated cost of the

project is $8,600,000.

The Southern Wine Country Sewer De Portola Road/Anza Road project will provide 9,900 feet of 15-inch gravity sewer main, 10,300 feet of 12-inch gravity sewer main, 3,000 feet of 10-inch gravity sewer main and laterals to property lines along Anza Road and De Portola Road. The total estimated cost is $10,300,000.

The Mission Canyon II Pump Station replacement project will provide a new pump station located at the Mission Canyon II Booster Station along with 3,200 feet of new pipe. The new pump station will increase water pressure and capacity for the unincorporated Hemet area east of Diamond Valley Lake from 200 gallons per minute to 600 gallons per minute.

The project has a total cost estimate of $3,600,000.

The Eastern Municipal Water District will administer, construct and maintain the sewer projects. The funding agreement will allow the district to be reimbursed by the county. All ARPA funds must be obligated by Dec. 31, 2024, and spent by Dec. 31, 2026.

County to provide surplus vehicle to Mountain Communities Fire Safe Council Joe Naiman WRITER

Sponsorship and Advertising Opportunities Available Contact us at director@hsjvc.com to learn more

Riverside County will be providing a surplus county vehicle to the Mountain Communities Fire Safe Council.

A 5-0 Riverside County Board of Supervisors vote Tuesday, May 17, authorized the director of the county’s purchasing and fleet services department to work with other county departments to locate and donate a surplus county vehicle when one becomes available. The vehicle might be part of the purchasing and fleet services inventory or it could be a suitable vehicle from another department.

Mountain Communities Fire Safe Council is a volunteer group which seeks to protect the San Jacinto Mountain area from wildland fires. The organization helps neighbors in Idyllwild, Pine Cove, Garner Valley, Pinion Pines, Pop-

pet Flats and Mountain Center remove hazardous fuels from their properties.

Currently, the entire MCFSC staff shares one county-donated vehicle, a 1988 Ford F250 pickup truck, to travel to and from all defensible space assessments and site inspections. Since 2020, the MCFSC has doubled the number of large grant programs the group manages and has also more than doubled staffing levels. The MCFSC board has asked the county to provide a second surplus vehicle to evaluate potential properties and remove large fire fuels by thinning trees, eliminating ladder fuels and other fuel reduction methods. The second MCFSC vehicle would be used by field staff members in the same capacity as the current vehicle.

Home sales tumble again as mortgage rates surge Alex Veiga THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes slowed for the third consecutive month in April as mortgage rates surged, driving up borrowing costs for would-be buyers as home prices soared to new highs.

Existing home sales fell 2.4% last month from March to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.61 million, the National Association of Realtors said Thursday, May 18.

It was slightly higher than what economists were expecting, according to FactSet. Sales fell 5.9% from April last year. After climbing to a 6.49 million annual rate in January, sales have fallen to the slowest pace since June 2020, near the start of the pandemic, when they were running at an annualized rate of 4.77 million homes.

The median home price in April jumped 14.8% from a year ago at this time to $391,200. That’s an all-time high according to data going back to 1999, NAR said.

“Without a doubt, rising mortgage rates, rising prices are hurting affordability, but we should not discount that we’re still lacking inventory,” Lawrence Yun,

NAR’s chief economist, said.

Fierce competition for limited properties on the market and ultralow mortgage rates superheated the housing market the last couple of years, but now its cooling as homebuyers face sharply higher home financing costs than a year ago following a rapid rise in mortgage rates.

In April, the weekly average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate home loan climbed above 5% for the first time in more than a decade, crimping would-be homeowners’ purchasing power at the outset of the spring homebuying season, traditionally the busiest period for home sales.

Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the 30-year rate slipped to 5.25% this week from 5.3% last week. A year ago, the average rate stood at 3%.

Mortgage rates are climbing following a sharp move up in 10-year Treasury yields, reflecting expectations of higher interest rates overall as the Federal Reserve hikes short-term rates in order to combat the worst inflation in 40 years.

With inflation at a four-decade high, rising mortgage rates, elevated home prices and tight supply of homes for sale, homeownership

has become less attainable, especially for first-time buyers.

Higher rates can limit the pool of buyers and cool the rate of home price growth – good news for buyers. But higher rates can also limit affordability.

For now, the housing market continues to favor sellers as buyers vie for a still tight inventory of homes for sale, which has kept pushing up home prices. Even as sales slowed last month, it was common for homes on the market to receive multiple offers.

Inventory levels have to go higher before multiple offers dissipate from the market, Yun said.

Until then, prices are likely to move higher.

“We anticipate, again, a continuing decline in home sales, but not necessarily home prices,” he said.

On average, homes sold in just 17 days of hitting the market last month, unchanged from March or April 2021. In a market that’s more evenly balanced between buyers and sellers, homes typically remain on the market 45 days.

As is typical in the spring, the number of homes on the market increased in April from the previous month. Some 1.03 million properties were available for sale

A “for sale” sign is displayed outside a home in Murrieta, Friday, May 20. Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes slowed in March 2022 to the slowest pace in nearly two years as a swift rise in mortgage rates and record-high prices discouraged would-be homebuyers.

by the end of April, up 10.8% from March, but down 10.4% from April last year.

At the current sales pace, the level of for-sale properties amounts to a 2.2-month supply, the NAR said. It’s up from 1.9 months in March, and down from 2.3 months a year ago.

Real estate investors and other buyers able to buy a home with cash, sidestepping the need to rely

on financing, accounted for 26% of all sales last month, down from 28% in March, NAR said.

Homes purchased by investors made up 17% of sales in April, down from 18% the previous month, while first-time buyers accounted for 28% of transactions, down from 30% in March and 31% a year ago.

2022 All-Southwestern League baseball teams announced

Vista Murrieta’s Lukas Pirko is one of two players named Most Outstanding Pitcher for the 2022 Southwestern League baseball Valley News/Andrez Imaging season.

Temecula Valley’s Zach Anderson, who led the league in home runs (5) this past season and hit over .500 in league, is named 2022 MVP of the Southwestern League.

Valley News/Action Captures Media Group

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

The Southwestern League baseball coaches recently met with Vista Murrieta Athletic Director Carl Galloway to go over the selections for the All-League teams.

Galloway’s school hosted the meeting since the Broncos took the top spot in the standings this past season. Selections come out once the playoffs are over, or once the final SWL team is either the last one standing in the CIF-SS playoffs or gets knocked out. This year, the top three teams, Vista Murrieta, Temecula Valley and Great Oak, were all ousted in the first round, each of them playing in the Division 2 brackets. Based on where a team places in the league standings, determines how many First and Second Team selections they get.

Vista Murrieta went 13-2 in league play this year, winning their eighth overall title for the school since their inception in 2003. The

Broncos also won in 2006, 2008, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017 and 2019.

When it comes to postseason play, in 2006 the Broncos were a CIF Southern Section finals runner up; they won a 2007 CIF Southern Section Division 2 championship and in 2013 they were a CIF Southern Section semifinalist.

Temecula Valley, with their second-place finish in the standings, housed the MVP of the Southwestern League this year, junior Zach Anderson, a USC verbal commit. This year, due to two of the league’s more competitive pitchers having somewhat similar stat lines, two players were named Most Outstanding: junior Lukas Pirko (Vista Murrieta) and senior Shea Lake (Great Oak).

Anderson hit .522 with 24 hits, five home runs and knocked in 22 RBIs over the course of the 15 games played during league action.

Vista Murrieta’s Luke Matthews, a First Team selection for the Broncos, hit a league leading .615 with the same amount of hits in fewer

at bats, but also had less RBIs and only four extra base hits on the season. Either way, both players put up notable stat lines, plus Anderson being a year younger, returns next season to continue his legacy.

On the pitching side of things, Pirko went 5-1 during league with a 3.07 ERA, Lake was 6-1 with a 1.07 ERA on his side. Of course, with 38 strikeouts under Pirko’s belt during league play to Lake’s 27 Ks, it makes sense as to why both were given the accolade. Lake also contributed with his bat (.421 BA with 16 hits) and in the field defensively for Great Oak. Three catchers, one lone pitcher, four infielders (one who also pitched) and four outfielders (two who also pitched), make up the First Team selections. For the Second Team, a slew of outfield talent makes up more than half the selections while two infielders and a couple of pitchers and catchers make up the final selections. The Broncos, Golden Bears and Wolfpack were all granted

Great Oak’s Shea Lake is one of two players named Most Outstanding Pitcher for the 2022 Southwestern League baseball season.

three First Team selections and two Second Team picks, Murrieta Valley, fourth place in league, had two First Team selections and two Second Team nods, Murrieta Mesa had one First Team selection and two selections for Second Team, while Chaparral was only given

Bryn Wade returns, takes over as head Murrieta Valley High School baseball coach Former Murrieta Mesa championship coach now a Nighthawk JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

The athletic department at Murrieta Valley High School announced the hiring of Bryn Wade as the school’s new head varsity baseball coach Tuesday, May 17.

It has been nearly six years since Wade has coached high school baseball in the area but he will be heading to Murrieta Valley with a highly decorated coaching resume.

Wade has been involved with baseball both as a player and coach for over 25 years, starting his coaching career at Biola University in 1998. He spent the next 12 years at Downey High School as a varsity assistant before taking the head job at Lakeside High School in 2012.

“We are thrilled to have Coach Wade leading our baseball program,” Darin Mott, athletic director of Murrieta Valley High School, said.. “He is not only a quality baseball coach, but he is a quality man. Our players are going to benefit tremendously from his leadership.”

In 2014, Wade became the head baseball coach at Murrieta Mesa High School and led the Rams through the 2016 CIF Southern Section Division 1 playoffs, beating Harvard Westlake 3-2, for the championship. It would be the first CIF-SS title for any sport in the school’s brief history. That year he was also named LA Times Coach of the Year and American Baseball Coaches Association Regional

Bryn Wade, right, pictured here in 2016 next to former Vista Murrieta head coach Matt Mosiello, who is now coaching at Elsinore, will be returning next season to coach baseball at Murrieta Valley High School.

Bryn Wade, who stepped away from coaching at Murrieta Mesa High School before the 2017 season, has accepted the head coaching position at Murrieta Valley High School.

Coach of the year.

In two seasons, the Rams went 41-21 under Wade and made a huge jump in the challenging Southwestern League from 4-11 in 2015 to 12-3 in 2016, also winning the programs first-ever league title that year.

Baseball is in Wade’s blood as he is also a third cousin of Jackie

Robinson and was drafted by the Anaheim Angels in 1998, playing in the organization until 2000.

Currently, Wade is an English teacher in the district and was a double major in biblical studies and English at Biola University.

“Having been a part of the travel baseball community for the past few years, I’m finally at a spot

where I am certain that my own kids will be OK with my coaching high school versus coaching them,” Wade said. “The time I will have with them will be our time rather than shared time.”

Murrieta Valley took fourth place in the Southwestern League this year, failing to make the playoffs with an “at-large” bid due to not having a winning record.

Overall, the Nighthawks were 1016 and 5-10 in league play.

“The administration is great at Murrieta Valley High School,” Wade said. “The opportunity to help kids live out their dreams in an area that God has designed me for is something that I would regret not pursuing. My whole life has been orchestrated to do this.”

The baseball program at Murrieta Valley has not had a winning season since 2018, when they took second place in the Southwestern League and advanced to the second round of the CIF-SS Division 2 playoffs. Wade will be replacing Scott May, who took over for the Nighthawks in 2020, before the season being cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Murrieta Valley needs its tradition revived,” Wade said. “With four big leaguers right now, and the heart of the program for the past 21 years, Monte Jones in its corner, along with our staff, we will again be a powerhouse.”

Area athletes go the distance at CIF Southern Section track and field finals

Murrieta Mesa’s Cade Moran stands on top of the victory podium after winning the Division 1 discus throw at the CIF Southern Section track and field finals Saturday, May 14, at Moorpark High School.

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

The CIF Southern Section track and field finals took place Saturday, May 14, at Moorpark High School, where there were multiple area athletes that competed well enough to earn that coveted Masters invitation. Top points went to a handful of area athletes, including Murrieta Mesa senior Cade Moran, who was looking to best his mark from last month when he set a new Riverside County record in the discus at 207-4. Moran did take the No. 1 spot at the CIF-SS finals this past Saturday, with a mark of 201-4, but did not beat his personal best.

Elsinore’s one-two punch of Elijah Ignacio (182-4) and Matthew Hodges (170-5) were third and fourth in the discus and Great Oak senior Aiden Pastorian won the shot put at 66-7 with Moran as the runner-up at 63-0. Also from Great Oak, JC Stevenson won the long jump in Division 1 with a wind-aided 23 feet, 5-1/4 inches while also taking the triple jump in 47-83/4.

Highlights for the girls saw some great finishes. Vista Murrieta sophomore Aspen Fears was the only female to clear 12-6 in the pole vault and won after just missing her attempts at 13-0. The Broncos girls

placed fourth as a team. Orange Vista junior Kailah McKenzie had a successful day, placing in the top two in three events. She won a section championship in the Division 1 girls 100-meter hurdles, edging out a win over Upland sophomore London Davis in a personal-best 14.20; Davis ran 14.22.

McKenzie was also the runnerup to King junior Alyssa Hope in the Division 1 girls long jump at 19-7. Her second-place finish in

the high jump at 5-6 was one of her best and she is now slated to try and qualify for the CIF State Championship meet Memorial Day Weekend at this week’s Masters meet, also at Moorpark.

Great Oak’s J.C. Stevenson won the Division 1 triple jump with a leap of 47-8 3/4 at the CIF Southern Section track and field finals Saturday, May 14, at Moorpark High School.

Aiden Pastorian of Great Oak won the shot put with a final throw of 66-7. Pastorian was fifth in the discus with a throw of 157-9.

All-Southwestern League softball teams announced for 2022 season JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

The Southwestern League softball coaches recently met with Murrieta Mesa Athletic Director John Broussard to go over the selections for the All-League teams.

Broussard’s school hosted the meeting for the second consecutive year since the Lady Rams took the top spot in the standings these past two seasons.

Murrieta Mesa went 13-2 in league play this year, which is the first year in the history of the Southwestern League that teams have played each other three times each; a schedule that baseball teams have followed since the inception of the league. The league title, which was shared this year with Great Oak who also went 12-3, is the third-ever for the Lady Rams as a program. They also won in 2018 and in 2021.

When it comes to postseason BASEBALL from page C-1 make up the grade levels for the 27 selections. This season, more than others in the past, some teams have also noted Honorable Mentions for players via their social media accounts. Program coaches distribute these awards, usually for banquet purposes, and unlike the First and Second team lists, are not voted on by other coaches in the league.

Thus, the reason why they are not listed here.

play, in the 2016-2017 season Murrieta Mesa snuck into the playoffs with a 5-5 league record and took their luck through the CIF Southern Section Division 3 playoffs, winning it all. After that season, they moved up to Division 1 and have made the postseason every year since, outside of that initial 2018-2019 season when they went 13-14 overall.

Not to mention that 2020 season, where nobody had playoffs due to the pandemic.

The top five offensive stat leaders this year represented Murrieta Mesa, with the league MVP going to catcher Jazzy Burns, a junior who belted 13 home runs, had 39 hits and finished right behind teammate, freshman Taelyn Holly (.452), with a .438 Batting Average. Pitcher of the Year went to Great Oak’s sophomore ace, Miali Guachino.

Based on standings, the Lady Rams and Lady Wolfpack were

both granted three First Team selections, the Lady Broncos and Lady Nighthawks were given two First Team selections and the Lady Golden Bears and Lady Pumas were each given one First Team selection. Each team was given two Second Team selections.

Final two local teams fall in CIF Southern Section Softball Finals Elsinore, Linfield both advance to State regional play

Elsinore softball players leave Deanna Manning Stadium Saturday, May 21, at Bill Barber Park in Irvine after dropping a 5-4 game to Riverside’s Hillcrest for the CIFSS Division 6 title.

Valley News/Jerry Soifer photos

Derryl Trujillo SPORTSWRITER

Coming into the CIF Southern Section Division 6 softball championship game, the story was Hillcrest pitcher Mattison Beliveau and her impressive numbers this postseason. She had 61 strikeouts, in 26 innings, while allowing just four hits. The question was whether Elsinore was up for the challenge of attacking a pitcher who amassed strikeouts at a rate of 15 a game. They answered it with a resounding yes, but it was not enough as Hillcrest prevailed 5-4 to win their first title in program history.

Isabel Villareal gave Hillcrest a quick 3-0 lead with a three-run homer (her sixth of the year) in the top of the first inning. Unphased by the early deficit, Elsinore went to work and slowly chipped away at the lead, scoring runs in the first (RBI triple from Mikayla Matamoros), second (RBI double

by Kendall Proovost) and fourth to tie the game at three on an RBI single from Proovost.

thought it would be, but it wasn’t easy and at the end of the regular season I wasn’t sure we would get here (after losing five in a row).

It was definitely frustrating to see Elsinore hit me that hard, but I had to fight my way through it because I knew the offense would have my back.”

In the fifth Hillcrest took a second lead of 4-3 on an RBI single from Acevedo which was answered as Alyssa Jimenez tripled to lead off the inning and scored on a wild pitch to tie the game at four.

However, in the top of the seventh Trojans freshman Melody Acevedo hit a two out solo home run (her 11th of the year) to right field, giving Hillcrest the lead for a third and final time, and Beliveau made sure that lead stood up with a strike out and two groundouts.

Elsinore coach Jasmine Angello remarked through tears, “The way we fought back today just showed how resilient our girls have been and how much pride they have in this program. We haven’t had a lot of success recently so as an alum to see us get this far I couldn’t

be prouder of them. Maybe this sparks a new era for Tiger softball?”

However, like in most small schools, talent is cyclical and after the core of Paul Perez’ 2018 Division 4 quarterfinal team graduated, the Lady Lions had a couple of rocky seasons winning just seven games in a two-year span.

After receiving an at-large bid into this year’s playoffs (the program’s first appearance since ‘18) Linfield took their fans on a wild ride…winning three straight one-

run games to reach the CIF-SS Division 7 championship game Saturday, May 21, at Deanna Manning Stadium in Irvine. Their postseason wins also included a huge win over No. 1 Rosemead.

However, in their morning game against No. 2 Capistrano Valley Christian, the Lady Lions had their opportunities to score but could not convert and overcome an early deficit, falling 5-1 to the Lady Eagles. It was Linfield’s first trip to the finals since that ‘01 championship under the late Scott Raftery.

Coach Paul Perez remarked “Sometimes when the pressures on things change a bit. We answered the call every time throughout this run offensively but sometimes a run has to end and it happens this way. They battled all the way to the end. We’re in a good spot with a nice core now.”

Makalynn Eden battled valiantly in the circle against a Lady Eagles lineup that had scored 37 postseason runs and held them to just five with four of those coming in the first two innings.

Eden said, “It’s been a while since I pitched so I had to learn how to reset after every pitch and

build that mental toughness again.

I am really excited for our future with such a young group.”

Unfortunately, the Linfield offense could not get in gear as the Lady Lions, despite having six hits, could only garnish one RBI, which was late in the game. Eden had the RBI in the sixth inning on a double that was inches from a two-run homer. By then Linfield had squandered a bases loaded opportunity in the third with Vanessa Perez and Brooklyn Simon recording two out singles before Danica Perez struck out. They also had two on and no out in the fifth inning before Capo Valley starter, Kylee Cammarato, got two strikeouts and a popup to escape.

Grace Beall said, “It meant a lot to get here because I didn’t expect us to even get to the playoffs let alone a final.”

The reward for both Linfield Christian and Elsinore getting to the finals is they will now advance to the CIF-State regional tournament, which commences on May 31st.

The Southwestern League girls’ lacrosse coaches recently met with Murrieta Mesa Athletic Director John Broussard to go over the selections for the All-League teams.

The Lady Rams finished sixth in the final 2022 Division 2 coaches rankings, finished the regular season 20-3 and for the second consecutive year went undefeated (10-0) in league.

Along with their first-place league finish, Murrieta Mesa made a run through the CIF Southern Section Division 2 playoffs, all the way to the finals, but lost to Newport Harbor, 11-6. On top

of their season success, the Lady Rams also housed the Offensive MVP of the Southwestern League this year, Carson Dickey, who led all scorers with 79 goals. Chaparral, along with their second-place finish, and postseason appearances as well, showcased the Defensive MVP, Kristiana Dinsenbacher, who had 199 overall saves in the goalie box.

Murrieta boxer Raul Lizarraga wins eighth pro fright by knockout in Long Beach JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

There is no easy feat when it comes to boxing and Saturday, May 21, in Long Beach, Murrieta’s Raul Lizarraga knew that when he stepped in to the ring for his eighth professional boxing match. Heading in to the fight, Lizarraga was undefeated at 7-0 with each victory coming by knock out.

The 2019 graduate from Murrieta Mesa High School fights out of the Temecula Boxing Training Academy, which is owned by his trainer, Jesse Moreno. Before Lizarraga turning pro, the now 20-year-old, was ranked as the No. 3 Amateur youth boxer in the United States by http:// usaboxing.org.

Lizarraga’s fight Saturday, May 21, was against Roberto Yong, who is 18 years older than Lizarraga and sported a 7-18-2 record. Yong was also the No. 11 ranked boxer in Arizona before the fight, which he lost by knockout in the third round. The win for Lizarraga keeps him undefeated with all eight fights coming by way of knockout. The young phenom from Murrieta is eager to get back in the ring, possibly later this year.

“We got the job done, and I’m thankful for all the support,” Lizarraga said after the fight via social media.

Murrieta Mesa senior Carson Dickey was named Offensive MVP of the Southwestern League this year and led all scorers with 79 goals throughout the season.

Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Hemet/San Jacinto Student of the Month program held its end of the year banquet to present scholarships to those chosen as Student of the Year among those that had been honored for their school during the 20212022 school year. More than 250 students and their families and friends, along with sponsors and supporting community members, were at the Soboba Casino Resort Event Center to celebrate Thursday, May 19.

The mission of the program is to bring the community together to honor and praise local high school seniors for demonstrating character, integrity, love of learning, dedication and involvement in school activities, athletics and community service. Students are recognized for overcoming difficult life challenges without compromising their education.

Each month, students who make a difference in their home, school and community with sincerity and passion are honored at a breakfast shared with their family, principal, nominating staff and community sponsors who listen to their heartfelt stories.

Karena Zermeno, program facilitator and host, said the students’ adaptability to unforeseen situations and ability to stand tall in the face of adversity has made them all shining stars.

“There is a Chinese proverb that says, ‘the gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man cannot be perfected without challenges,’” she said. These students all share the same virtue, the drive and power to overcome difficult trials all while committing their passions for family, school and their bright futures. I am truly honored to be here tonight amongst all the resilient students that shine brighter than any diamond.”

The Soboba Band of Luiseño

Indians and Soboba Foundation have been Platinum Sponsors of the program since its inception in the fall of 2013. At the “Night of the Stars” event, Soboba Tribal Council Chair Isaiah Vivanco said joining together in honoring the students was something he was glad the Tribe was able to do.

“At Soboba, we take pride in making sure we support our youth all the way through to the next step, be it college, becoming business owners, community leaders and things of that nature. It’s awesome to see all the community leaders here supporting these youth; I think it goes a long way.

Our youth need to have someone to look up to. It’s parents, grandparents, community leaders and others who push them and support them in everything they are doing.

We’re honored and thankful that we can host an event like this supporting all the youth. Congratulations to all the winners to this point and those being recognized further tonight,” Vivanco said.

Sally Myers, with Sizzler/BMW Management, started a Student of the Month program in the Temecula Valley and surrounding areas about 30 years ago. She inspired and mentored Zermeno to establish the Hemet/San Jacinto program, who has taken it to other areas as well.

“What is so joyful to me is knowing this program is expanding and there is great joy and inspiration in my heart and I know yours as well when we can honor these students for how they make a difference,” Myers said. “We know God has given each one of us wonderful passions and (these students) are using them today to not just pursue their own interests but to come alongside others and make a difference.”

Students named as Student of the Year and receiving a $2,000 scholarship are Cloe Cadenhead, Hemet High School; Zachary Cholodenko Vollan, Hamilton

Cadenhead, who was Student of the Month in January, will be the first in her family to attend college where she will major in theater to continue to spread the joy it has brought to her and others.

Vollan, chosen in November 2021, plans to pursue football at the college level and pursue a law degree so he can become a prosecuting lawyer to “make our community a better, safer place.”

As Student of the Month in October 2021, Granville said she plans to pursue a career in education. “Through teaching, I intend to make a difference in the life of a young person the way someone did for me,” she said.

Hill, also chosen in October 2021, said achieving higher education and valuable knowledge is the path she wants to take to gain

control of her future and to truly be successful in life.

When he was recognized as a Student of the Month in November 2021, Huerta said his greatest contribution to his community, school and family is his positive outlook on life.

LaZarrus, honored in February is looking forward to college and starting her own business. “My goal is to make people feel beautiful and empowered and feel good about themselves,” she said.

Zinck was the first recipient of the Student of the Month honor for her school in September 2021.

She served as yearbook editor and will continue her education at UC, Davis in the fall.

Additional scholarships of $500 each, provided by community members based on specific criteria such as career choice or character traits, were awarded. Recipients are Sam Chaney, Mountain View High School, Daniel Lopez Jr. Memorial Scholarship; Naidelyn Franco, Tahquitz High School, Sizzler/BMW Management Scholarship; Melany Hernandez,

Scholarship recipients received many recognition certificates from dignitaries and community organizations and all nominated students received a $100 gift card and other graduation gifts.

Zermeno, who also represents program sponsor Altura Credit Union, closed the evening by thanking all the students who have forever touched the lives of others by sharing their testimonials throughout the school year.

“Continue being the bright stars and diamonds that you are,” she said. “Students, remember, you can do anything that you want to do. Your future is yours.”

Community Garden opens in San Jacinto’s Sallee Park

This sign greets the gardeners and other visitors to the new Community Garden located in Sallee Park, 180 N. Idyllwild Drive, in Valley News/Tony Ault photos San Jacinto.

Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

A host of gardeners and San Jacinto City council members and staff joined in the celebration of the ecologically friendly opening of the Community Garden at Sallee Park, Thursday, May 19, in San Jacinto.

The fenced community garden may be the first of its kind in the San Jacinto valley and was the site of a ribbon cutting ceremony and speeches by Menifee City Manager Rob Johnson, Mayor Crystal Ruiz, Councilmember Mike Heath, Riverside County Supervisor Chuck Washington, a representative of Supervisor Jeff Hewitt’s office, teachers and other dignitaries including the Soboba Foundation.

Standing by at the ceremonies were members of the city maintenance staff who helped build the garden and San Jacinto Cal Fire officers and other dignitaries.

“We’re excited to bring this wonderful garden that offers an opportunity for not only for people to connect but educational opportunities and connecting communities with one another,” Johnson said.

He said the garden reflects the city’s efforts to bring additional healthier and better outdoor spaces for the community.

The new community garden, at 180 Idyllwild Drive, and its carefully timed water dispensing wooden plots are available to members of the community interested in growing their own vegetables and favorite flowers to save money and

the environment. The six 4-foot by 8-foot planters and four smaller planters are available to gardeners for a 12-month period as long as they maintain them.

Adding to the beauty of the fenced in garden is the back of the Boxing for Christ building featuring a mural designed by San Jacinto resident Armando Ahumada and painted by professional artist that boasts “Be healthy. Be Well. Be San Jacinto.”

Each of the plots is furnished with a drip irrigation system that can be set by the gardeners to water their plants when they are not there.

The water is paid for by the city.

Since the garden plots are built with city funds and grants, an application is required for any residents, who are preferred, or others with a strong interest in gardening.

A number of the plots are already reserved but more availability may soon be open. Applications are taken at city hall, 595 S. San Jacinto Ave. Applications are approved on a first come, first served basis. The gardeners are licensed and provided entrance to their plots that must be maintained with their own tools.

The licensing fee is $60 or only $5 per month, with a refundable key fee of $40.

More information on the community garden opportunity is available by calling 951-487-7330, ext. 307, during city hall business hours.

Route 60 through the Badlands truck lanes now open for truckers Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The Riverside County Transportation Commission announced that after almost three years of construction the completion of the major Route 60 Truck Lane Project through the Badlands from Beaumont to Moreno Valley is now complete.

The steep eastbound truck lane and descending westbound truck lanes are used by truckers coming to and from Moreno Valley and Beaumont allowing much safer automobile traffic on the other lanes. It also is a much safer route for truckers going and coming from the Coachella Valley on Interstate 10 to Highway 60 going into Los Angeles.

providing design and construction oversight. The new lanes will open on time and within budget.

The project added the eastbound and westbound trucklanes for 4.5 miles between Gilman Springs Road and 1.4 miles west of Jack Rabbit Trail, between Moreno Valley and Beaumont. Built next to the outer shoulders in both directions of Route 60, the truck lanes separate slower-moving bigrigs from passenger vehicles that can use the two left lanes in both directions.

Motorists are warned to obey the speed signs and be aware of heavy traffic before and during work hours and on weekends.

Meanwhile, Caltrans continues to build and maintain Interstate 10 from Beaumont to Palm Desert

with continued temporary lanes separated by T-rails as the work progresses.

Caltrans is also continuing its restriping and bridge work on I-10 from Rainbow to Temecula and the Interstate 210/I-10 interchange through to Murrieta.

Riverside County yields seven NACo Achievement Awards RIVERSIDE COUNTY – Riverside County received seven distinguished achievement awards from the National Association of Counties earlier this month. The awards honor innovative, effective programs that strengthen services for residents. Many of the county programs recognized were launched during the pandemic to facilitate access to care and services, especially for the county’s most vulnerable residents.

“These awards not only demonstrate our county employees’ commitment to public service, but their willingness to go above and beyond to implement new technology,” Board Chair Jeff Hewitt, Fifth District Supervisor, said. “These essential programs provided basic necessities during the most unprecedented crisis of our time – the pandemic.”

The following county programs brought home achievement awards.

The Department of Public Social Services for using Adobe Sign as a workflow solution in the provision of In-Home Supportive Services. The pandemic accelerated the Department of Public Social Services’ efforts to offer online services that are efficient and increase access for all IHSS clients. In October 2020, the county moved from paper to paperless IHSS forms using Adobe Sign for departments.

The Department of Public Social Services’ “Caregivers Matter, Innovative Strategies to Increase Caregiver Enrollment” from the IHSS-Public Authority which launched creative outreach strategies to recruit, train and enroll caregivers to support the county’s elderly and disabled residents to remain safely in their homes.

These efforts resulted in significant decreases in wait-times and significant increases in the number of caregivers.

The Department of Public Social Services’s Fast, Improving Outcomes & Efficiencies for Financial Abuse Investigations – The Financial Abuse Specialist Team addresses investigations involving seniors and dependent adults victimized by financial exploitation and scams. FAST improves Adult Protective Services investigations to strengthen collaboration with law enforcement to address complex financial abuse cases, as well as improves cross reports to partner agencies.

The Riverside University Health System – Behavioral Health’s Arlington Recovery Community & Sobering Center – The ARC and Sobering Center works to prevent incarceration, with the intent to break the cycle of re-offending and re-incarceration. The ARC program allows law enforcement and ambulance drop-offs, along with a fully integrated residential approach for treating serious mental

Citing backlog progress, ports again delay fines for idling containers City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach Friday, May 20, postponed once again implementing a fee on companies whose import containers linger at marine terminals, with the assessment now potentially taking effect, if necessary, next Friday.

The Container Dwell Fee has been delayed numerous times due to progress in reducing the number of containers at the terminals – with the ports reporting Friday a 48% combined decline in aging cargo on the docks since the fee was announced.

Over the next week, port officials will monitor and reassess the fee’s possible implementation.

The fines have been deferred every week since Nov. 22. The ability to levy the fee expires Thursday, July 28, unless extended by the Long Beach and Los Angeles harbor commissions.

The fee is one of several efforts aimed at speeding the processing of cargo at the San Pedro Port Complex to eliminate a backlog of ships trying to deliver merchandise. Port of Los Angeles officials said when the policy was announced that about 40% of import containers were idling at terminals for at least nine days.

The fines, if implemented, would begin at $100 per container, increasing by $100 per container each day. Containers set to be transported by truck and rail would incur fines if they remain at the port for nine days or more.

Fees collected from the policy would be reinvested into programs that aim to enhance efficiency, accelerate cargo velocity and address congestion impacts.

The policy to implement fees was developed in coordination with the Biden-Harris Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force, the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Port of Long Beach and supply chain stakeholders.

California woman says dog defended her from mountain lion The Associated Press SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A woman who was attacked by a mountain lion in Northern California said her dog jumped to her defense and was badly wounded in protecting her.

“I don’t think I will ever be able to live up to how amazing and loyal she is to me,” Erin Wilson told the Sacramento Bee Tuesday, May 17.

Wilson, 24, lives in rural Trinity County, about four hours northwest of Sacramento. On Monday, she drove to the Trinity River near unincorporated Big Bar to take an afternoon stroll with Eva, her 2 1/2-year-old Belgian Malinois.

Wilson was on a path with Eva a few yards ahead when a mountain lion lunged and swiped at her, scratching Wilson’s left shoulder through her jacket, she said.

“I yelled ‘Eva!’ and she came running,” Wilson said. “And she hit that cat really hard.”

The dog weighs 55 pounds and

was outclassed by the cougar but battled fiercely.

“They fought for a couple seconds, and then I heard her start crying,” Wilson said.

The cougar bit the dog’s head and wouldn’t let go, even when Wilson attacked the animal with rocks, sticks and her fists, tried to choke it and gouged its eyes.

The cat tried to kick her off, scratching her with its back paws.

Wilson said she ran back to her pickup truck, grabbed a tire iron and flagged down a passing car.

That driver, Sharon Houston, told the Bee that she grabbed a long length of PVC pipe and pepper spray. Together, the women began beating the lion, which had dragged the dog off the trail.

Houston finally sprayed the animal with the pepper spray and it fled, Houston said.

Wilson was treated for non-lifethreatening scratches, scrapes and bruises.

Wilson’s husband, Connor Kenny, told SFGATE that Eva had two

skull fractures, a punctured sinus cavity and severe damage to her left eye. The dog had seizures on the drive to the vet but stabilized overnight.

“We are hopeful she will pull through this,” Kenny said. “She’s a fighter, clearly.”

The dog was in guarded condition, according to a statement from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Wildlife officers have collected samples from the wounds for DNA analysis and authorities will try to trap the cougar, the department said.

Mountain lion attacks on humans are rare but in such cases the animals usually are killed if they are caught.

Meanwhile, Wilson said she hopes Eva will recover. She has started a GoFundMe page to raise money for the vet bills, and she’s already planning how to thank Eva: with some new stuffed toys and a steak dinner.

Riverside County’s jobless rate falls below 4% City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

With expansion in most sectors of the regional economy, Riverside County’s unemployment rate dropped below 4% last month, according to figures released Friday, May 20, by the California Employment Development Department.

The jobless rate in April, based on preliminary EDD estimates, was 3.8%, compared to 4.3% in March.

According to figures, the April rate was over four percentage points lower than the year-ago level when countywide unemployment stood at 8.1%, as the statewide coronavirus public health lockdowns were gradually eased.

About 43,300 county residents were recorded as out of work in April, and 1,108,000 were employed, according to the EDD. Coachella had the highest unemployment rate countywide last month at 8.3%, followed by Cherry Valley at 7%, Mecca at 6.1%, Hemet at 5.9% and Rancho Mirage at 5.7%.

The combined unemployment rate for Riverside and San Bernardino counties in April was also 3.8%, and also down from 4.3% in March.

Bi-county data indicated that payrolls expanded by the widest margins in the hospitality and professional business services sectors, which added a combined 6,600 jobs in April.

Additional gains were documented in the agricultural, construction, financial services, health services, government and manufacturing sectors, which altogether swelled by 6,400 positions in April, according to the EDD. The agency said the information technology and mining sectors, as well as miscellaneous unclassified industries, were unchanged.

Payrolls contracted by a total 2,800 jobs in trade, transportation and utilities – the second consecutive month of losses in that sector, according to figures.

The statewide non-seasonallyadjusted unemployment rate in April was, like the Inland Empire, 3.8%.

Hillary Clinton implicated in ‘disinformation’ campaign during Durham trial

Julie Reeder PUBLISHER

On Friday, May 20, the Wall Street Journal editorial board published a piece on the Durham-Sussman trial titled “Hillary Clinton Did It” labeling the Russia-Trump collusion as the “dirty trick for the ages.”

The editorial was in response to Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook directly implicating her in court, testifying that Clinton herself gave the green light to give the disinformation to the media which linked Trump to Russia through an alleged secret back channel with Alpha Bank.

In other words, it was intentional “disinformation.”

The definition of disinformation is a noun meaning false information which is intended to mislead, especially propaganda issued by a government organization to a rival power or the media.

Anyone who had real information was labeled a conspiracy theorist or a partisan liar while Congress members Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler were paraded on nightly news. They claimed they were in possession of irrefutable

evidence of Trump’s Russia collusion. It was all a lie.

Mook testified that campaign officials weren’t confident in the validity of the information and they didn’t have the subject matter expertise needed to judge the claims.

However, Sussmann, Clinton’s lawyer who is on trial, and employees with Fusion GPS, a firm hired by the Clinton campaign, worked to seed stories about Trump and Alfa Bank to the media.

Slate and The New York Times took the disinformation bait first with little to no due diligence, and several more stories were published.

Clinton started promoting the story “Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump organization to a Russian-based bank” herself through Twitter, without telling anyone she was behind the story to begin with. Of course Twitter allowed it to be promoted freely.

Sussmann is on trial because on Sept. 19, 2016, he allegedly told former FBI General Counsel James Baker he wasn’t bringing the now debunked disinformation on behalf of any client. Durham’s team uncovered evidence that Sussmann was, in fact, charging Clinton for the time and was on the clock for her campaign.

As to the Trump-Russia allegations, both the FBI and CIA determined rather quickly that the allegations were unsupported by the data, although it wasn’t made public until this year through Durham’s filings. It certainly wasn’t made public through the sham Muller investigation. They continued to push the Trump-Russia

narrative despite the fact that there was no support for the allegations.

And investigations and stories telling what we now know were the truth, were labeled as conspiracy theories and “disinformation” by the complicit media and social media platforms.

According to previously disclosed declassified information, Clinton allegedly approved the campaign plan in late July 2016 to “stir up a scandal” against Trump by tying him to Russia.

Maybe it was because she had her own legal controversies, including keeping classified information and emails on a private server, evidence that she illegally destroyed but was never held accountable for. It’s unbelievable the destruction she caused with the help of government agencies, and it appears Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama knew what was happening as well, although my guess is Durham won’t go after them.

It is so much broader and deeper than just constantly going after Trump year after year. The Democrats were so desperate to find some dirt on Trump that they not only created a fake dossier and the story about the back channel from Trump to the Alpha Bank, but they were going after hundreds of people around Trump, like Carter Page and Michael Flynn, who were innocent. Many people spent hundreds of thousands of dollars defending themselves against what we now know were corrupt government agents, bent on finding something against Trump. And the media was complicit, lapping up every anti-Trump crumb they could report.

Remember Durham’s first trial involving Carter Page, a Trump campaign adviser who was the target of FBI spying early on? Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith was indicted and convicted by DOJ for falsifying evidence in the Russia case that harmed Carter Page.

The FBI’s falsified evidence was then given to the FISA court to justify permission to continue spying on Trump. For example, the fact that Page was an asset for the CIA and not a Russian agent was withheld from the court. Clinesmith got a slap on the hand.

Then there was former national security adviser Michael Flynn who was being charged with lying to the FBI. Flynn originally agreed to a guilty plea after the FBI nearly bankrupt him and then wore him down completely after telling him if he didn’t plead guilty they were going to start going after his son who was newly married with a young baby. He said he couldn’t let them torture his son as they had done with him so he plead guilty.

Later it was found that there was corroborating evidence supporting Flynn’s story and he formally asked to withdraw his plea, arguing that prosecutors and the FBI double-crossed him and that his former attorneys failed to give him adequate legal advice about potential defenses in his case.

In their editorial, the WSJ editorial board wrote, “In short, the Clinton campaign created the Trump-Alfa allegation, fed it to a credulous press that failed to confirm the allegations but ran with them anyway, then promoted the story as if it was legitimate news.

“The campaign also delivered the claims to the FBI, giving jour-

nalists another excuse to portray the accusations as serious and perhaps true.”

“Most of the press will ignore this news, but the Russia-Trump narrative that Mrs. Clinton sanctioned did enormous harm to the country,” the board wrote. “It disgraced the FBI, humiliated the press, and sent the country on a three-year investigation to nowhere. Vladimir Putin never came close to doing as much disinformation damage.”

Now look where we are. The trust in our agencies is at an all time low as well as our president’s approval ratings. Record inflation, division, crime and gas price.

The pullout of Afghanistan was a disaster as we left thousands of people and $80 million of equipment to the Taliban. That likely emboldened Russia to invade Ukraine. China is making moves to take over Taiwan and pressure is building against Russia, which is a major nuclear power. We have food shortages, record deficits and millions of illegal aliens streaming across our southern border while we “process” them as quickly as possible without sending them back. Record levels of fentanyl are killing our youth, and the courts are busy checking our authoritarianhungry government officials with their mandates. Boys are dominating girls’ sports, and we are so woke that we can’t even say what a woman is biologically or judge a person based on their character rather than their skin color.

These lies and disinformation have caused a long tail of destruction for our country.We have a lot of work to do, and it starts with transparency, truth and justice.

Californians suffer while $97.5B budget surplus sits in the bank Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

Gov. Gavin Newsom released a $300 billion revision to California’s budget Friday, May 13, showing a $97.5 billion surplus in funds.

That surplus begs the question, if the state has nearly $100 billion just sitting in the bank, why are

Californians still paying some of the highest taxes in the nation?

Even with that $97.5 billion, California lawmakers have considered more than $190 billion in new taxes and fees, according to 67th District Assemblymember Kelly Seyarto. I must ask, where is the sense in that?

at unsustainable rates, many who are already struggling thanks to the high cost of housing and gas and prices for everything from food to goods and services increasing by 7.9% since this time last year, is not just irresponsible, it’s criminal.

“Every day, Californians are being crushed by an affordability crisis,” Seyarto said in an email to his constituents May 16. “The average family is paying an extra $536 every month due to 40-yearhigh inflation, we lead the nation with an average price of $5.96 for a gallon of unleaded gas, and our residential electricity price is nearly 76% higher than the national average.”

With a surplus of $97.5 billion, you would think Californians would have better roads, affordable energy, less homelessness and plans in place for wildfire and drought, but we don’t. Instead, conditions in the state continue to deteriorate.

According to 75th District Assemblymember Marie Waldron,

the surplus is “largely from over taxation.”

“Despite the massive surplus, the problems Californians are dealing with remain unaddressed,” she said.

Annually the state budget continues to increase, but nothing changes for Californians. Many issues faced by the state are issues that have plagued it for decades and the democrats running the state are blind to real issues, such as struggling families and increases in crime, instead focusing on luring companies away from other states to increase their tax base and closing prisons.

I have some news for the governor and those who think that his proposed budget is a good idea.

Californians are sick and tired of the bloated budget and spending that benefits no one but criminals and politicians.

We want real solutions that are readily available to our real problems. We want better roads, affordable housing and yes, some

tax breaks that keeps more money in our pockets rather than watching the state budget surplus get wasted on reckless spending that doesn’t benefit the general population.

Remember, that $97.5 billion surplus belongs to us, the taxpayers, and not to the state. As residents of this once great state, it is important to make our voices heard. We need to speak up and tell our state legislatures what we want, and in many cases, what we need.

As Seyarto said, “We need to demand that surplus to be spent on providing immediate relief, while also reducing the tax burdens driving California families and businesses out of state. Californians deserve long-term, structural solutions that focus on affordability, quality of life and reducing the high cost of living.”

Californians deserve better.

Taxed Enough?

Assemblymember Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Gov. Gavin Newsom released his Friday, May 13, “May Revise,” which updates the proposed budget he released in January. The state’s $301 billion budget, larger than most countries, contained a big surprise – our budget surplus has grown to $97.5 billion.

California has some of the highest taxes in the United States, as the surplus demonstrates. So are we about to have some big tax cuts? I’ve advocated to suspend the gas tax for a year, try to spend down some of the state’s unfunded liabilities, estimated in the billions and give a refund back to hardworking Californians to help defray the cost of living.

Well, no, the governor and the majority in Sacramento actually believe we aren’t taxed enough. Ap-

parently the surplus is too low.

Why else would they not prevent a scheduled gas tax increase? Almost every day we break a new record for having the most expensive gasoline in the United States, and Friday, July 1, the cost goes up even more thanks to the governor and his supporters in the Legislature.

In addition to unprecedented gas prices, Californians are suffering from high grocery prices, rising crime, unaffordable housing and utility costs, increases in homelessness and poverty, wildfires and drought. Public safety has been compromised; new laws have weakened our criminal justice system. We need more, not less money for law enforcement. Spending on wildfire prevention should be increased, not cut by almost $1 bil-

Retire Calvert

After 30 years of accomplishing nothing for his district, it’s time for U.S. Rep. Ken Calvert to retire.

As the current Republican Party has radicalized, Calvert has followed in lockstep with them voting against infrastructure projects at 100%, against civil rights at 66%, against women’s rights at 85%, against funding education at 72%, against consumer protection, financial regulation and gun control all at 100%. He has voted for big business at 100%, for the

The taxpayers’ money shouldn’t be squandered on political wish lists. Common sense solutions are readily available; current leadership simply lacks the will to tackle the critical issues facing our state.

It’s time to choose somebody/ anybody except Calvert.

The total lunar eclipse of Sunday, May 15, was a much-anticipated and well-documented astronomical event in the skies above the Anza Valley.

Local shutterbugs captured the various phases of the eclipse to share with friends and neighbors.

Clear skies allowed excellent views of the interesting occasion.

The eclipse occurred in the early evening, thrilling residents with its bright red color and long duration.

phenomenon to share with those who could not see it themselves.

Skywatchers from coast to coast enjoyed the chance to be a part of the lunar event.

“My pictures were all taken from my cellphone,” photographer Ashlee Jackson said. “No special filters were used other than the night mode.”

According to EarthSky.org, this total eclipse was central, which means the moon passed centrally through the axis of Earth’s dark umbral shadow. The moon was in a near part of its orbit, close to Earth, during the eclipse. This lunar eclipse took place 1.5 days before the moon reached perigee,

its closest point to Earth for the month. So this full moon was a supermoon, which means, during this eclipse, the moon appeared relatively large in our sky.

Lunar eclipses are safe to view with the unaided eye. Binoculars and telescopes enhance the view, but aren’t required, according to EarthSky. Anza residents are anticipating the next lunar eclipse, which will occur Tuesday, Nov. 8, visible in Asia, Australia, Pacific and the Americas.

Red flag warnings alert residents during certain weather events

Fires can ignite in high grass and weeds during the dry conditions that prompt Red Flag Warnings.

Anza Valley Outlook/Diane Sieker photo

Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

Anyone who has lived in Southern California for any length of time has heard the term “Red Flag Warning.” But exactly what does the alert mean for the average resident?

According to the National Weather Service, a Red Flag Warning is used to advise the public of an impending or occurring Red Flag Event, verified when weather and fuel conditions that are extremely receptive to fire ignition are met simultaneously.

The warning’s issuance denotes a

high degree of confidence that these conditions will occur in 12 to 24 hours or less. Forecasters can issue the watch or warning for all or selected portions within a fire weather zone. The warnings remain in effect until the critical fire weather pattern comes to an end.

Weather and fuel conditions that are of major concern include minimum relative humidities equal to or less than 15%, winds of 20 mph or higher and/or gusts to 35 mph or higher.

These watches and warnings are most likely to be posted during Santa Ana wind events, where pow-

erful, dry winds pummel Southern California.

The National Weather Service defines Santa Anas as strong downslope winds that blow through the mountain passes in Southern California. These winds, which can easily exceed 40 miles per hour with isolated gusts as high as 70 mph or more in narrow passes, are usually warm and dry and can severely exacerbate brush or forest fires, especially under drought conditions.

Additionally, these powerful wind events may also bring the lowest relative humidity of the year

to affected areas. Combined with a warm, compressionally-heated air mass, plus high wind speeds, this weather can create critical fire weather conditions. The Santa Anas are blamed for causing countless regional wildfires to become extremely large, destructive and life-threatening.

Wind-driven fires move fast, and residents need to be ready to evacuate at a moment’s notice in the event of a wildfire. Fire departments have increased staffing in recent years, but also need the public to remain vigilant. It is important to follow evacuation orders and leave early as fires move very fast under these conditions.

Cal Fire encourages residents to take basic preventative steps, such as not mowing lawns during high winds; not driving vehicles over extremely dry vegetation, where sparks or hot engine components might touch off a blaze; limiting campfires to designated places and being on the lookout for suspicious behavior that could be arson-related.

Caltrans District 8, which serves the inland region, advised motorists that light signals could go out if utilities implement Public Safety Power Shutoffs during Red Flag events, which are permitted by the California Public Utility Commission. Officials said flashing and blacked out traffic signals must be treated as stop signs, with the usual right of way and yielding protocols in place.

The PSPS, or de-energizations, are permissible during high fire danger red flag events to prevent electricity lines from arcing, or

transformers from throwing sparks and igniting fires, particularly in places not easily accessible to firefighters.

Southern California Edison, which serves large parts of Riverside County, has a policy of generally trying to notify customers two days in advance of a prospective shutoff during a Red Flag Warning.

“A Red Flag Warning, as posted by the National Weather Service, puts all electric utilities on high alert for the danger of fire,” Kevin Short, general manager of Anza Electric Cooperative Inc., said.

“Strong winds can bring trees or other debris into our lines, raising the threat of ignition. We are on a constant lookout for these conditions, and take extra care to maintain our system in top condition to mitigate risk. The safety of our community and our employees is always our primary concern.”

However, AEC’s imported power is carried on SEC’s lines and can be affected by a PSPS issued by Edison.

People must be prepared for Red Flag Warnings and the dangers it advises may happen. From stashing emergency supplies and having evacuation plans to maintaining fire safe perimeters around homes and abating weeds in a safe manner, living in wildfire country demands awareness.

Southern California is battered yearly by the Santa Ana winds and residents must learn to pay special attention to the Red Flag Warnings that accompany them.

Cannabis 21+ owner Sean St. Peter answers questions from the audience at the Cannabis 21+ town hall meeting at the Community Hall in Anza.

MEETING from page AVO-1 evening to share with you information about our Cannabis 21+ project that we have been diligently working on to come to fruition,” Lisa Cohen, senior executive vice president of Cannabis 21+ said.

She introduced business owner Michele Havner, director of marketing for Cannabis 21+, and Leonard Mata, director of security for Cannabis 21+.

“We are proud to work for a woman and veteran owned company. We are eager to hear your respectful feedback,” she said.

Cannabis 21+ is based in San Diego and has a string of operating dispensaries. As a provider of quality cannabis, vapes, edibles, concentrates and much more, the company has a good reputation, according to online reviews.

Cannabis 21+ is asking to develop the property, currently operating as Yilbertos Mexican Restaurant, to create a retail marijuana storefront. It has not occurred without some community upheaval.

The property, located north of Cahuilla Road, east of Bautista Road and south of Mitchell Road, consists of 1.74 net acres with a 3,264 square foot restaurant building zoned General Commercial.

“I would like to thank the community members that have voiced their concerns and questions. We are looking forward to joining such a passionate and tight-knit community and your questions show how much you value your neighborhoods,” Cohen said.

“When we enter a market, our goal is to become ingrained in the local community by providing jobs, economic benefits and aligning with key local philanthropic efforts.”

As part of any approval of the project, the cannabis retailer (should they begin operating at the property), in accordance with board policy, will pay the base public benefit of $18 per square foot. In the property description, the retail space includes 3,264 square feet, meaning the public benefit payment will be $58,752, increasing annually at 2% to be sent to the county general fund.

The additional annual public benefit provided by the owner will be $66,000 with an annual increase of 3%. These funds will go to improve the immediate community of Anza.

“From the letters that have been submitted to the county, the two major areas of concern we hear surround the illicit growing of

cannabis and the concern with traffic safety,” Cohen said. “We understand and are aligned with your concerns regarding illegal cannabis usage and growing. Cannabis 21+ does not allow anyone under the age of 21 to enter our retail stores. We add tax dollars to the community to help with local services and needs. We train our staff diligently, have a smart security plan, and only partner with vendors that approach the cannabis market in the same way. We noted your concern about traffic safety.

We look to ensure people do not use their cannabis on-premises, including in the parking lot. Additionally, particularly at night, we highly encourage customers to use our delivery service. This allows us to take the cannabis to the consumers at their home, keeping them from driving.”

The Wednesday, May 18, Anza Valley Municipal Advisory Committee meeting was held via Zoom.

Supervisor Chuck Washington’s Chief of Staff, Joe Pradetto, was in attendance to hear the presentation from the owners of Cannabis 21+ who are working their way through the permitting process with the county to open a marijuana dispensary at the corner of Highway 371 and Bautista Road. Several members of the community posed questions to the applicants and expressed serious concerns about the proposed location and impacts upon the community.

At the end of this discussion the AVMAC members voted 4 to 0 with one abstention to recommend to the county against permitting the dispensary.

Opposition for the project has been gaining momentum via social media and petitions.

During the meeting, Mata stepped forward several times to

keep order. He is a retired police lieutenant with 30 years of service in the Oceanside Police Department which included five years managing the narcotics street team and responding to community concerns related to narcotics enforcement. He was a regional manager for Allied Universal Security Company with oversight of Westfield Mall Operations for the California Region.

Additionally, a Riverside County sheriff was on hand to keep an eye on the meeting.

Community activist Ed Wall stood and made a statement to the group.

“This location is surrounded by rural residential zoning with many houses and two churches that would have to look at a Cannabis 21+ sign, a huge increase in traffic and all of the related activities seven days a week,” Wall said. “It is not at all suited to a residential neighborhood and the speed of passing traffic. The applicants stated that they had a traffic mitigation plan but provided no details. At the AVMAC meeting, the applicants were repeatedly asked about how much of their business they expected from our community versus traffic driving through from out of town. Their answers were vague and focused as a benefit to our community which was not well received by those in attendance. Do we really want a business thrust into our neighborhood that requires armed security?”

Local residents have expressed concerns that the first landmark that people would see when entering the town of Anza eastbound on Highway 371 would be a marijuana dispensary. Shouting over each other, many people stressed the closeness of two churches, though

they are not a protected interest regarding dispensaries like schools are, according to state law. Loose pot grow dogs, murders, cartel activity, water theft and other results of illicit cannabis cultivation in the Anza Valley were cited as reasons not to support the Cannabis 21+ application.

“We don’t need this in our town!” several residents chanted.

“The behavior of the community was embarrassing, not even showing respect to each other. Cannabis 21+ came dressed well, with their business plan and opened themselves up to a lynch mob,” resident Frances Ostahowski said. “They stayed calm and collected, while some of the community people acted like children.”

The application has gone through the permitting process

and has been calendared for the Tuesday, June 7, Riverside County Board of Supervisors meeting to be approved or declined.

“Quite a few members of our community have vowed to be there,” Wall said.

According to a news release issued by the Murrieta Police Department, the initial caller reported gunshots while several callers later reported shooting victims.

“Officers from the Murrieta

Police Department and Deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department responded to the scene, along with the Murrieta Police Department’s armored rescue vehicle,” according to the news release.

According to the news release, when officers arrived, they found two shooting victims with nonlife threatening injuries inside the home.

“Both victims were transported to a local hospital for treatment and are expected to survive,” according to the news release.

Warm Springs Middle School was placed on lockdown while the situation was being “stabilized,” Murrieta police said.

The father pulled up to the home in a white Chevy Tahoe and waited for the driveway gate to open, Navarro said.

The man did not see the child but felt a small bump when he drove onto the property, Navarro said.

The boy was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Neither father nor son has been identified, the Times said Thursday.

Road rage incident ends in stabbing, suspect arrested City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A 43-year-old man accused of stabbing another man after a road rage incident in Temecula was arrested and remained jailed in lieu of $1 million bail.

Deputies responded to the scene of the stabbing at about 12:44 p.m.

Saturday, May 22, in the 28400 block of Old Town Front Street in front of several businesses, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

They found a 35-year-old man near a sidewalk suffering from multiple stab wounds, sheriff’s

The victim, whose identity was not released, was hospitalized and remains in stable condition.

The suspect, 43-year-old Rigoberto Reyes-Reyes of Temecula, was found driving less than a mile away from the scene of the stabbing in the 42200 block of Main Street, where he was arrested.
