Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Members of Lake Elsinore’s Homeless Task Force recently launched The Anchor, an innovative project to help lessen the weight experienced by many homeless people living in the area. “We felt this name had a lot of meaning to the project and the community,” Nicole Dailey, assistant to the city manager, said. “The Anchor is nautical, and we are a lake city, but more importantly, it symbolizes creating a place where we seek to stabilize individuals in need of support; like an anchor holds down and stabilizes a vessel.” Lake Elsinore has become increasingly proactive and aggressive in addressing homelessness in its community. In May 2017, the Homeless Task Force was established and included two city council members, Natasha Johnson and Brian Tisdale. Its purpose

Putting faces to names of Vietnam’s fallen heroes Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Former Hemet resident Janna Livesay Hoehn moved to Hawaii 30 years ago. Ten years ago, she and her husband took a trip to Washington D.C. and because the Vietnam War had been happening during her high school years, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall was the ﬁrst stop on her must-see list. That visit put her on a meaningful mission to assist with the virtual Wall of Faces project associated with the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. “Even though I never knew anyone killed in Vietnam, I wanted a rubbing of one of the names,” the 1973 Hemet High School graduate said. “I approached the Wall and chose a name: Gregory John Crossman, a Missing in Action (MIA) soldier. When I returned home, I decided to research

Man accused in murder of wife found in Rancho San Diego dumpster arraigned City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The husband of a Temecula woman who went un ent fie or nearly two decades after her legs were discovered in a trash bin in Rancho San Diego pleaded not guilty May 20, to a murder charge. Jack Dennis Potter, 6 8, is accused in the death of 5 4-year-old Laurie Diane Potter, whose remains were found Oct. 5 , 2003, in a trash bin in the 16 00 block of Hilton Head Court. Though investigators were able to determine the remains belonged to an adult female victim of a homicide, her identity and what happened to her remained a mystery unt re ent a or n to sher s Lt. Thomas Seiver. The sheriff’s department has not released a cause of death or a suspected motive for the killing, though Seiver said investigators have uncovered “substantial and conclusive evidence” that Potter murdered his wife. The criminal complaint charging Potter with murder indicates authorities believe the victim was killed on either Oct. 4 or Oct. 5 , 2003, but does not specify how she died. Potter was arrested last week at his apartment in Rancho Cucamonga, Seiver said. He’s being held without bail at the San Diego Central Jail. No additional details regarding the alleged killing were disclosed at Potter’s brief morning arraignment. In addition to murder, Potter faces three felony counts of perjury allegedly committed in 2008 and 2009, but details on those charges were not disclosed. Genetic genealogy testing, the same technology used to capture the Golden State K iller, aided investigators in identifying Laurie Potter, who was a Temecula resident at the time of her death, Seiver said. “This case was unlikely to have ever been solved without the use of investigative genetic genealogy,” according to Seiver, who said Laurie Potter was never reported missing. Troy DuGal, a detective with the sher s o ase om e unit, said Laurie’s family, though unaware of her whereabouts, believed she was still alive. e er sa the ase s the first n the San Diego region in which the technology was used to identify a homicide victim. DuGal said genetic genealogy was used on two prior occasions to identify local homicide suspects, both of whom were already deceased by the time the were ent fie

San Jacinto school student art to be pictured on covered utility box at high school Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The San Jacinto City Council, proud of the positive results of its Arts in Public Places Pilot Program that included a utility box wrap and water-free median art on Ramona Expressway approved a new utility box wrap at the corner of Ramona Boulevard and Tiger Lane at its May 18 city council meeting. The newest utility box wrap will be four sided containing a San Jacinto High School logo, two award-winning artworks from district students and the city’s logo. The utility box is at the high school wh e the ﬁrst ut t o s o ate at the Five Points intersection of the city. The Ramona Expressway median strip includes stone work and tin cactus plants and kiosks at the expressway entrance to the city. Travis Randel, community development director, gave the council the presentation and showed the artwork that is proposed for the covered utility box. The box will include the work of two outstanding art students and a yet-to-be approved San Jacinto High School logo of its tiger mascot and the city’s logo on the fourth panel. The school’s artists were chosen the an a nto n ﬁe hoo District Educational Foundation

that this year were identified through the Stephen Talley Art Enrichment Program for students who have excelled in their artwork over the years. Chosen for the utility box artwork is “Contemplation” by Anaya Crouch and “Aurora Borealis” by Allison Norman. Both were winners at the 2019 Stephen Talley Art Enrichment Program. Crouch’s art is a painting of a contemplating Black girl and Norman’s, a horse running under the stars. Norman was a fifth grader at De Anza Elementary when she submitted her work titled “Aurora Borealis” and is composed of mixed media including graphite, oil pastel and paint. In September, the City Council authorized up to $ 5 ,000 for the Five Points installation; however, the ﬁna n o e was on s su h an e sa sta s re ommending that the balance be applied to this project. In other business, the council held a public hearing on an amendment to D.R. Horton Homes for a changed Master Drainage Plan a t es an o ﬁ at ons p an on three of its housing tracts. The three tracts are in the area south of the Ramona Expressway and along Vernon Avenue. The development maps were conditionally approved in 2006 , 2005 and 2003 but not recorded.

They include subdividing 44.77 acres into a maximum of 144 single-family residential lots but with a proposed school site that was moved so now a maximum of 98 lots can be constructed; the subdivision of another 38.6 acres into 192 single-family residential lots; and the subdivision of 46 acres into 180 single-family residential lots. The council approved the chang-

es to the Horton development agreement with no public comments being made. The city adopted the Emergency Operations Plan presented at the last city council meeting and supported a req uest by the Soboba Band of Luiseñ o Indians to receive a Community Project Funding Initiative grant under the Department of Housing and Urban Develop-

ment’s Economic Development Initiative funding for req uired off-site public improvements for its Soboba Crossroads retail center. The council authorized the city manager to sign the letter of reque st on behalf of the City. T ony Ault can b e reach ed at tault@ reederm edia.c om .

re or an tr to fin h s am In the event they were never able to go to the Wall, I would send them the etching, hoping they would share a photo of Gregory with me.” Livesay Hoehn spent the next six months or so researching every wa poss e to fin rossman s family. She eventually enlisted the aid of her cousin, who is her own family’s historian, and within six weeks located a college photo of Crossman. A couple of years later, Livesay Hoehn heard a news story about the Faces Never Forgotten project, now known as Wall of Faces, and its goal to put a face with every name that is etched on the Wall. She submitted the photo she had of Crossman. Within a week, she was contacted by Jan C. Scruggs, the U.S. Army veteran who served in the Vietnam War and later founded the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, which built the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Scruggs was president of the nonprofit at that t me e than e Livesay Hoehn for sending the photo s n e t was the first one received for Crossman and then as e she ou he p h m fin photos for the 42 Maui County soldiers that had been killed in Vietnam. She said she was honored to help. “I have always hoped I could do something for the Vietnam veterans as the way they were treated when they returned was disgraceful,” she said. “What I thought would be a very easy project with Maui being so small was anything but easy.” She found 10 soldiers’ photos by calling people in the phone book with similar names, a few more by viewing archived yearbooks for every high school on Maui and three by searching obituary fi es at her o a rar ter an article in a Maui newspaper about her q uest for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund project, Livesay Hoehn started receiving photos from throughout the United States. Within six months of starting her search, she had a photo of every fallen hero from Maui County. “Once I had all the photos, I decided I did not want to keep this to myself; I needed to share it with Maui County,” she said. “I had a display made with all 42 photos and I take it all over Maui giving presentations at high schools, libraries and civic groups. It has been very well received.” She then began searching for photos o fi e so ers rom her childhood home of Hemet and was a e to fin them a row n up in the San Jacinto Valley, Livesay Hoehn attended school with many American Indians from local reservations such as Soboba and Santa Rosa so her next goal was to collect photographs of the nation’s

232 American Indian and Alaskan Natives who were killed or MIA in Vietnam. She credits Ernie Salgado Jr. from the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians with helping her successfully complete the task. “Ernie was very helpful in making arrangements for me to give a presentation and that got the ball rolling,” Livesay Hoehn said. “I was so pleased when they were all found.” But her dedicated volunteerism didn’t stop after the photos were collected. One of the soldiers, Joseph “Joe” Pink, was not listed as an American Indian but because she had known Pink while in high school, she gathered the evidence o h s tr a a at on to ensure h s name was listed with the other 231. Pink was an enrolled member of the Pala Band of Mission Indians but grew up in San Jacinto and attended school there. When the Wall of Faces project began 12 years ago, there were 5 8,276 photos needed; today there are only 5 8 still absent. When esa oehn first earne a out the project, 32,000 photos were outstanding, and she has personally posted more than 8,000 since she got involved. “We have their names and homes of record, which sometimes isn’t their hometown, but where they enlisted,” she said. “Also, many of the photos we have are obituary photos or very poor-qua lity high school yearbook photos, so we are always searching for the best qua lity photo for each one and at east one photo or the fina She said most of the remaining soldiers’ photos they are seeking are from New Y ork and Puerto Rico. She is hoping that people will visit the website and search for anyone they knew to see if they might have a better-qua lity photo than the ones currently posted. She is also hoping to receive photos of those still needed. “Putting a face with a name changes the whole dynamic of the Wall,” Livesay Hoehn said. “It keeps our fallen heroes’ memories alive and will honor them so their stor es an sa r fi es w ne er e forgotten.” For more information, go to www.vvmf.org/ thewall.

Rose Mary Salgado was born on March 7, 1956 and went to Jesus on May 14, 2021 at age 65. She was a mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, Godmother, tribal and community leader and goodwill ambassador for her people. She was the youngest of her parents’, Ernest Salgado Sr. and Fidelia Juarez Salgado, six children. And like her mother, father, brothers and sisters she was raised on the Soboba Indian Reservation. She attended public schools in San Jacinto, graduated from San Jacinto High School in 1974 and attended the University of California, Riverside. She retired from Southern California Edison after 27 years of service as a senior planner in 2002. Her ability to work under extreme pressure won her respect and praise early in her career with SCE. Rose credited her parents with instilling a prominent work ethic in her, teaching her to always be tolerant, fair and honest in dealing with people. Those who knew her know that her life was shaped by these values. Rose was an active community and tribal leader. She served on the Soboba Tribal Council for 28 years. She also served as a Trustee with the San Jacinto Unified School District, Valley-Wide Recreation and Park District, Hemet-San Jacinto and Menifee Valley Chambers of Commerce and the Ramona Bowl Amphitheatre Board of Directors and as the President of the Board. Her fundraising efforts were credited with helping save the Ramona Bowl Amphitheatre from bankruptcy. Rose also served with several other nonprofits and educational agencies. To assist these organizations with their fundraising efforts, she established the Soboba Lip Sync Contest. She was highly regarded within the local community and was recognized for her community commitment and service with several awards. Two special acknowledgments of her community contributions were her serving as the grand marshal for the San Jacinto 4th of July Parade in 2016 and the Hemet Christmas Parade in 2011. In 2015, Rose was considered a top candidate to replace Jeff Stone as the Riverside County Supervisor for District 3. However, it was not to be as she was forced to cancel her candidacy due to health issues. During her tenure with the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians Tribal Council she helped navigate the tribe through many years of political and legal conflicts with local, state and federal governments, courts and agencies to bring about meaningful tribal self-governance, economic development and community growth. Rose was an unyielding force for a quality and meaningful education for the American Indian people. Also among her top priorities were community improvement, housing, the protection of tribal water rights and the preservation of tribal traditions, customs and values. And, given all her success and accomplishments, Rose never lost her sense of humor and the ability to laugh at herself. She also never saw the need to live anywhere other than the Soboba Indian Reservation. Rose always made spending time with her family and friends a priority. She showed great pride in their accomplishments. She was extremely pleased with her grandsons, Ataax and Ayalkawut for graduating from high school and planning to continue their education. Her youngest granddaughter Tuupash, at age 9, gave her great pleasure with her interest in tribal culture. She was especially proud of her granddaughter, Avellaka Arviso, who plans to attend Law School. Rose was preceded on her ascent into heaven by her mother Fidelia Juarez Salgado, father Ernest Salgado Sr., brother Robert “Bobby” Salgado Sr., brother-in-law Francis “Franny” Diaz, nephews Robert “RJ” Salgado Jr. and David Diaz, and great-nephews Daniel Salgado and Muhammad Kabeer. Rose is survived by her daughter, Desiree “Dez” Salgado (son-in-law, Alfred Arviso III); her four grandchildren, Avellaka, Ataax, Ayalkawut and Tuupash Arviso; God-daughter, Mica Diaz; brothers Ernie Salgado Jr. and Richard Salgado Sr.; sisters Lorraine Maciel (Frank Maciel Sr.) and Frances Diaz; and sister-in-law Claudia Salgado. In addition to her immediate family, Rose is survived by Aunties Barbara Guanche, Rose Mary Tortez and Alice Bentiste Helms and Uncles William “Billy Joe” Bentiste and George Smith. She also leaves scores of nieces and nephews and literally hundreds of cousins. Memorial services for Rose will be held at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 29, 2021 at the San Jacinto Assembly of God, 300 W. 1st St., San Jacinto CA 92583. Burial will follow at the Soboba Indian Reservation Cemetery followed by a traditional lunch at the Soboba Sports Complex on the Reservation. McWane Family Funeral Home in Hemet will be coordinating the interment.

Soboba hosts MMIW awareness event Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

About 100 visitors, including bird singers and dancers, gathered at the Soboba Sports Complex May 5 to bring awareness to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women crisis in America. The open invitation event was organized by Soboba’s Y outh Council, in collaboration with its Parks and Recreation Department. Noel Alvarez led bird singers in social songs for about an hour, starting with a welcome song sung half in the Cahuilla language and half in the Luiseñ o language. Soboba Y outh Council members set up tables and chairs for all guests at the outdoor event and provided food and beverages for everyone. Research has shown that Indigenous women are 10 times more likely to be murdered than any other demographic. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, homicide is the third-leading cause of death among those a e - an the ﬁ th ea ing cause of death for Indigenous women between the ages of 25 and 34. An Urban Indian Health

Institute (UIHI) report revealed that 84% of perpetrators were men and nearly half were non-Native. Additionally, the National Crime Information Center reported that of the 5 ,712 cases of MMIWG (in 2016 ), only 116 cases were logged in to the Department of Justice’s database. Most of these murders were committed by non-Native people on Native-owned land. The lack of communication combined with jurisdictional issues between state, local and tribal law enforcement, make it nearly impossible to begin the investigative process. For this reason, and because Indigenous women are sometimes mistaken for other races or members of tribes not Federally recognized, these rates are thought to be much higher. A resolution designating May 5 as the “National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Native Women and Girls” was passed by the U.S. Congress and Senate in 2019 to honor Hanna Harris (Northern Cheyenne) who went missing and was found murdered on the Cheyenne Reservation in July 2013. The Indigenous community and their allies wear red and gather to remember and continue to raise

awareness of the crisis. In November 2019, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order establishing a federal task force to address the nationwide crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women. The executive order also called for education and outreach ampa ns or a e te ommun ties, a public awareness campaign in partnership with NamUs, a missing person database and better use of existing criminal databases. The hashtags #MMIW and #MMIWG2 were created to give voice to women whose stories have not been heard and the hashtags have become increasingly prevalent on social media in North America. or the ent re wee sta at oboba Department of Public Safety showed their support by wearing red t-shirts with the cause’s logo.

Menifee City Council questions value of longtime Public Safety Committee Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The fate of the longtime Menifee Public Safety Committee, which reviews public safety records, needs and wants, will be decided at the Menifee City Council’s next regular meeting. The Public Safety Committee was formed as an ad hoc committee shortly before the city was incorporated in 2008, with two council members designated as committee members. Attendees during the early years of the committee included the city manager, city clerk, management analyst (emergency services coordinator), ers e ount her s e (RSO) staff and Crime Watch.

he ﬁre h e was n u e n the meetings beginning in mid-2010. Code enforcement updates were also added in 2010. It now also includes members of the Menifee Interfaith and Community Service Council, school board and several others who don’t always participate. The committee, without citizen representation, has been held each month for about an hour, but now is being q uestioned by members of the council if it still is needed and, if it remains, should selected members of the public be included. At the council’s last meeting, a q uestion arose about what that committee does and if it should be changed or closed, which the council has the authority to do.

Councilmember Dean Deines suggested the committee have several members of the public in attendance as well as Mayor Pro Tem Lesa Sobek. He also said if the meetings were public and held q uarterly, the public safety problems facing the city could be better addressed and the public would have an idea of any problems the city is facing. Councilmember Matt Liesmeyer and other members of the council saw the public safety problems being aired as they normally are during the regular city council meetings. Councilmember Bob K arwin said the committee really has not helped inform the public or let them speak, but they could do that at the city council meetings. He

said the committee took too much o the sta s an other a en es time that could be better spent. The discussion on the committee and its function continued until it was moved that the city mana er an sta ome up w th a plan for the continuance and the commission and how the public can be better informed of public safety issues. City Manager Armando Villa sa the sta wou wor on the plan and come back to the council during its next meeting in June. In other action, the Menifee City Council approved the joining of a Community Facilities District of 4.77 gross acres of an existing residential lot located east of Malaga Road on the southside of Mapes

Road. The annexation leads to tax revenue collection for various public infrastructure maintenance in the city in the future. There were no objections to the annexation of the tax district and it was passed by the council on a 5 -0 vote. The annexation req uest was made by David Mendoza and Rosa Isela Torres. Earlier in the meeting four local Boy Scouts, three from Santa Rosa Academy, were honored after being selected as the latest Explorer Scouts and recognized by the council for their community project achievements.

Rose Again fosters families Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

May is National Foster Care Month and a time to recognize those that o er support to am es he Rose Again Foundation is a nonprofit or an at on that has ser e more than 1,000 foster infants, children and emancipated foster youth in Temecula and Murrieta since it was established eight years ago. hen ose a n first starte we spent several months deciding where we could do the most good without duplicating services that were already being provided to foster children and emancipated foster youth,” Chief Executive Officer Rhonda Reinke said. “We reached out to foster parents, foster teens, social workers, law enforcement, foster agencies, foster group home mana ement an t o a s to fin out where we ou o the most good. Our goal was to provide services that would improve the health, wellness, education and self-worth of foster children and emancipated foster youth to help them heal, thrive and be all they were meant to be. We then developed our programs and services based on what we learned.” Reinke’s granddaughter, Natalie Rose (Shadle) Dixon created the foundation while she was a 17-year high school senior after serving at orphanages in Guatemala and Mexico, where she developed a desire to serve her community and in particular, less fortunate children. Dixon remains involved as a board director and volunteer. he nonprofit s name has ua s n fi an e the oun er s m e name is Rose and a Christian reference that Christ rose again. “We work to help severely neglected, abused and traumatized foster children to be able to say, ‘ I rose again’ above my pain and trauma, to heal and thrive,” Reinke said. She knows that fostering can e er u fi n ut ma a so e fi e w th man ha en es he always thanks foster parents for opening their hearts and homes to innocent children in need. She said the responses are usually “it is us who have been blessed” or “I get more than I give” and other similar sentiments. Referrals for Rose Again Foundation services come through placement agencies and word-of-mouth from foster parents. Programs are meant to achieve a mission to “meet the needs and enhance the lives of foster children and emancipated foster youth in our community.” These are funded by grants, donors and fundraising. The foundation’s “Emergency/ New Placement” program supplies t a s or h ren when the first arrive at a foster home, sometimes with nothing but the clothes on their backs. New clothes, shoes, a handmade blanket, a backpack with school supplies, books and toys, and cards of encouragement are some of the items that may be included. Nathanial Porter, who became a foster parent in 2015 , said the Rose Again Foundation is a “beacon in the valley.” In May 2020, one- and 3-year-old boys were placed with Porter at his Murrieta home. “After I accepted the placement, the boys were at my home within 45 minutes. All they had were the diapers on their bottoms. An hour after that, Rhonda and Natalie were at my house with clothes, diapers, books, toys; everything I could possibly need, they brought it with them,” Porter said. “RAF doesn’t just provide stuff, but love and compassion, too. In my opinion, they are in a league of their own.” The foundation’s “Tutor Me” pro ram pro es finan a ass stance for in-home and online tutoring to foster children. Most foster children are behind in school due to freq uent moves or lack of formal education. “We partner with Club Z Tu-

toring of Temecula to provide one-on-one tutoring to help foster kids catch up to their grade level at school,” Reinke said. “The need for this program increased considerably during COVID.” The foundation partners with local business owners, the cities of Temecula and Murrieta, schools, clubs and civic groups for discounted rates to foster children participating in its extracurricular activities program, Our K ids Soar. ose a n pro es finan a assistance for foster kids to enjoy the activity of their choice, to assure the kids have the opportunity to learn, make new friends, have a healthy outlet for their pain and to just be a kid again,” Reinke said. orter who has ostere fi e h ren an was a e to a opt h s first placement, said RAF has provided his foster children with funding to participate in extracurricular activities and includes them in its annual Bless the Child Christmas event where they receive gifts and gift cards from local sponsors. oun er on sa the nonprofit provides valuable services and programs to foster children and emancipated foster youth, all of whom ha e su ere a use a an onment ne e t an or trauma an su er from PTSD. “Foster kids struggle daily with the loss and separation of family. Emancipated foster youth struggle to make it on their own without family for guidance and support,” she said. “They are innocent victims of their circumstance. Rose Again’s programs help to improve the health and wellness, education and selfworth of these broken children.” Maria Baldovinos, 24, is the foundation’s Program Administrator an ts on pa sta mem er Reinke has been a fulltime volunteer since the beginning, working w th a o nos rom a home o e where they budget their expenses carefully to serve as many children as possible. Baldovinos, who had been in and out of foster care since she was 8 years old, learned about the foundation when she aged out of the foster care system and became an emancipated foster youth at age 18. She was referred to the organization and found them very welcoming and supportive. She was helped with scholarships for o e e finan a ass stan e w th food, shoes and clothes. She has worked at the foundation for three and a half years. starte o as a o unteer to give back, as I was grateful for everything they have done for me, then I became an intern and now the Program Administrator,” she said. “The best thing I like about the work that I do is being a witness to the incredible healing services that Rose Again Foundation has to o er to oster n ants h ren an emancipated foster youth. Coming alongside them on this journey and seeing these foster children slowly begin to heal is amazing to watch.” Reinke said that with domestic violence and child abuse on the rise since COVID-19, they anticipate a sharp increase in children entering the foster care system once schools u open up an tea hers an sta recognize and report the neglect and a use some h ren ha e su ere Baldovinos agrees that the chalen es ha e oo e erent s n e the onset of the pandemic. “The foster care system is hard enough on foster children but COVID made it much more challenging,” she said. “Some have not been able to visit their siblings or family members due to the restrictions of COVID, causing them to be lonelier than ever before. It has a e te the r e u at on as we especially those who were receiving additional school services. Distance learning can only do so much to help; they need the one-on-one help and support. The foster care system is so overwhelmed right now that so a wor ers are ha n a ut

t me ﬁn n oster homes ur n this pandemic.” In recognition of Rose Again Foundation’s eight-year anniversary and Foster Care Awareness month, the nonprofit is seeking sponsors who will commit to a monthly donation of $ 8 to help provide valuable services and programs in the community as they continue “fostering our future.” “Several of our foster parents and emancipated foster young adults

donate monthly to help us continue to o er our ser es an to he p serve even more kids,” Reinke said. “That tells us that our services are valuable and working, and we are doing something right.” Baldovinos thinks there are never too many adults that can love and support a foster child and feels blessed by the support of her community. “Having to figure life out and being expected to know it all at 18

years old can be extremely overwhelming and scary. Had it not been for the support I have today, I would not be the successful woman that I am today,” she said. “I have received, but I have also learned the true joy in giving back. I have faced many challenges that would have been impossible to face without the support of Rose Again Foundation.” For more information or to donate go to www.RoseAgainFoundation.org or call (95 1) 970-25 18.

was to develop and pursue strategies to reduce homelessness in the community. “In 2019, the city was fortunate to receive a $ 1.5 Homeless Emergency Aid Program grant from the Riverside County Continuum of Care to ramp up and make a difference in our community,” Dailey said. “This included creating a ‘ One Team, One Dream’ that includes law enforcement, code enforcement, Social Work Action Group (SWAG) and Riverside County Behavioral Health. This team goes out onto the streets every week in our region to interact with and try to help those in need.” The city has a zero-tolerance approach to criminal activities while encouraging businesses and citizens to practice responsible ompass on o er n a han up to those in need, and not a handout that enables the homeless. The goal is to enforce illegal activity by holding individuals accountable for committing any crimes in the community, while striving to help those in need who are willing to receive the help. Dailey said the task force’s efforts were hampered by a Supreme Court ruling in 2019 that made it o a that home ess n ua s may stay on any public space and could not be forced to leave without having a bed available for them. “As such, based on our success rate and progress in helping our most vulnerable, we knew we needed beds in our community to ont nue our e orts she sa “The alternative was the possibility of increased encampments on our sidewalks, in our parks and along our lake. In the midst of our e orts o ernor a n ewsom announced Project Homekey to provide the critical funding needed to purchase, renovate and open the ﬁrst o ernment un e home ess housing beds in Southwest Riverside County.” The Anchor crisis stabilization housing complex, which has strict eligibility guidelines, officially opened December 30, 2020 to eight residents. The site has approximately 10,000 sq uare feet of total building space. There is a pool, two spas, a community kitchen, a community room and 14 transitional housing units. There are also two units being used for on-site SWAG managers and a cottage area being use as o e spa e a h un t s about 480 sq uare feet and includes a living area, full bathroom and a kitchen/ dinette space. The new facility was formerly a motel that had gone out of business. Originally built in 196 5 , the site re u re a s n ﬁ ant n estment in the infrastructure of the building

The Anchor residents keep themselves busy at the facility performing a variety of daily tasks.

including electrical, water, gas and more. Dailey said the rooms were in decent condition and the City was able to buy new furnishings for all rooms using Project Homekey funds awarded in August. Individuals can stay up to 90 days during which time they are provided with full wrap-around supportive services. Clients receive one-on-one counseling, group counseling, fun activities, food, hour he - ns sta ur ews faith-based services, music room access and ongoing case management to try to overcome their challenges, which vary. Dailey said some need medical, behavioral health or substance abuse treatment while some need friendship and companionship. Still others need help to apply for Social Security or secure a driver’s license. “This journey is different for a an t s a u t one some leave and come back while others go back to the street,” Dailey said. “It is an ongoing daily battle for all involved.” Glen Peterson, 6 4, had been homeless for more than 12 years before being accepted at The Anchor April 28. He is applying for o a e ur t eneﬁts an hopes to have his own home soon. He said the most helpful part of his stay has been “having people who

care, a safe place to heal and having people to have conversations with.” Dailey said donations are always needed and welcomed and although the webpage www.lake-elsinore. org/ legives is being updated, there is a survey for visitors to sign up and help out in different ways. Also, the coordinator for all donations and volunteer opportunities can be reached at Ash lee@ th eswag. org. “We even have a ‘ registry’ of sorts to maintain a record of what is most needed at The Anchor,” Dailey said. “We urge our community to o n us n th s ﬁ ht h s s the best way to help us reach our goal of ending chronic homelessness in Lake Elsinore.” An ongoing guest chef program is gaining momentum as groups, faith-based organizations and others sign up to cook a meal for clients at The Anchor. Dailey said the meal can be as simple as making spaghetti or bringing in takeout food. “The idea is to show our community’s support and to provide residents with meals that strengthen them and bring them together with others to re u the r onﬁ en e and self-worth,” she said. “These residents are extremely vulnerable.

“Spiral” comes to us from the oo o aw mean n that t s a sp no o the popu ar mosts horror ser es he saw K iller is referenced a number o t mes n th s ﬁ m ut assure ou that e enera ss mo rancisco Franco, he remains dead. The Spiral K iller, for his or her part, has named themself (themselves? on t ount out a team-up a ter Jigsaw’s supposed philosophy of life evolving in a constant circle. I on t remem er saw e er e to ling that philosophy. Is the Spiral K iller sure they picked it up from Jigsaw and not “The Lion K ing? ” he ﬁ m stars hr s o as ete t e e e an s the most unpopular cop in the department due to his history of turning in rt o ea ues e s on managed to keep his job because his

father Marcus (Samuel L. Jackson) s a ormer h e e s or e his current chief, Garza (Marisol Nichols), into taking on a rookie partner named Schenk (Max Minghella). Z eke is unhappy with the assignment because he works best alone, but at least Schenk is new enough to not know to hate him yet. The partners banter a bit before investigating a truly revolting crime scene. This scene made the trailers interesting because it lured me into thinking that this would be a a o s - e a t on ome e ore o n n a er erent direction. It speaks to how weird it is to see Chris Rock in a movie e th s ut e t e rn s ener to the ro e e en n un mportant scenes. Usually the only energy you see from the “Saw” movies is people’s desperation when they’re caught in traps and the clock is ticking.

Sudoku by Myles Mellor and Susan Flannagan Each Sudoku puzzle consists o a r that has een su divided into nine smaller grids of s uares o so e the pu e each row, column and box must

Speaking of the franchise’s trademark traps, they’re here, but there’s less emphasis on them than usual due to the focus on the Rock and Jackson performances. In the opening, a guy has to sever his lying tongue or get hit by a train (why make the poor conductor feel responsible for a death like that? ). Another person has to sever their t h tr er fin ers or et e e trocuted. Another has to sever their sp na or e ore the et su focated by melting wax. Someone gets skinned in what may or may not e a trap an aun hes roken glass at an individual (that is not what “glass blowing” means! ). An apparent bloodletting trap turns into something else entirely. he t ms are a ops or e cops, meaning that someone in the department is probably the Spiral K iller. Everybody takes turns looking suspicious, including ar us an e e fi ure t out right away from the trailers alone. I will say that no previous Jigsaw o a orator s at wor here uness we fin out n a se ue that they were pulling strings from o -s reen he er s on e revealed, are surprisingly inept at p a n the a n he o er e plain, in classic villain fashion but without classic villain passion, and they give themselves way too little time to escape and way too many chances to get caught. That isn’t to say they don’t get lucky, though. With “Spiral,” I liked Chris Rock’s performance and not much else. I’ve never been a big fan of

the “Saw” movies, but I at least un erstan the appea o the reative traps, which are underutilized here. I truly believe that “Saw” fans are going to be bored by this movie, save for Rock’s undeniable energy, because the Spiral K iller pales so much in comparison to Jigsaw. ra e “Spiral” is rated R for seq uences of grisly bloody violence and torture, pervasive language, some sexual references and brief drug use ts runn n t me s m nutes C ontact Bob G arver at rrg2 5 1 @ ny u.e du.

Temecula City Council authorizes bids for pavement seal of 165 streets Joe Naiman WRITER

The Temecula City Council authorized the advertisement for bids to provide pavement seal on 165 s treets. he t oun s - ote a appro e the spe ﬁ at ons or the slurry seal activity, authorizing the t s epartment o u Works to solicit construction bids for the citywide program, and found the repair and maintenance of existing streets to be categorically exempt from California Environmental Q uality Act review. The slurry seal coating will protect the streets against water intrusion and deterioration of the asphalt concrete pavement surface. Ideally, slurry seal is applied every ﬁ e to se en ears an the sea n prolongs the pavement life and reduces the likelihood that more costly measures such as asphalt concrete overlays or pavement removal and reconstruction will

be needed. The slurry seal work involves removing existing striping and markings, cleaning and sealing large cracks, applying the slurry seal, and restoring the striping and pavement markings. he epartment o u Works selected the streets to be given seal treatment based on current pavement measures, time elapsed since the last preventative maintenance measure, and geographical proximity.

Jeffrey K ightlinger, general mana er o the etropo tan ater str t o outhern a orn a said that 2021 has evolved “from dry to historically dry.” “The meager Sierra snowpack has disappeared in recent weeks and the state’s runoff forecasts have dropped,” he said. “In light of these worsening conditions, the governor’s expanded emergency declaration to additional counties s ne essar to ensure proper management of the limited supplies that do exist. That declaration has not yet been extended to Southern a orn a where ears o n estments by ratepayers, coupled with

conservation that has continued s n e the ast rou ht has pos tioned this region to withstand and adapt to the latest water supply challenges.” On average, 75 % of California’s annual precipitation – made up of rain, snow and hail – falls from November through March. “The bulk of this precipitation o urs n ust three months ecember, January and February – when California tends to get a small number of large winter storms called atmospheric rivers. A handful of atmospheric rivers – or lack thereof – during the winter season can determine if the year will be wet or dry,” according to the a orn a epartment o ater Resources. The Sierra Nevada snowpack, which provides about a third of California’s water, is currently at only at 2% of the average snowpack for this time of year, a or n to a orn a epartment o ater esour es u n ormat on er hr s rro an that means trou e or a fornia’s reservoirs, even before summer begins. “This year’s snowpack peaked on ar h at on o a erage,” Orrock said. “We are two percent of average for our whole Sierra snowpack with just 0.3 inches of snow water equi valent.” Snow water eq uivalent is the magic number, Orrock said. “It’s how much water would be in the snow if it all melted at once,” he said. “At this point and time, and this is very early for th s to happen the ma ority of the snowpack is gone.” Orrock said that n the snowpack in the Sierra Nevadas

Easy and affordable ways to save water Check for internal leaks throughout the home. Take a shorter shower. Turn off the water while brushing teeth or shaving. Turn off the water while cleaning vegetables. Water your lawn, only when it needs it and never during the hottest times of the day. Using a car wash instead of washing your vehicle at home can save up to 100 gallons of water each time the vehicle is washed. Using the dishwasher instead of washing dishes by hand can save up to 24 gallons per load. Add an automatic shut-off nozzle to the end of the garden hose to save five gallons of water each minute.

VALLEY NEWS SPORTS

The Murrieta Mesa Rams baseball team only needed to win one game after going 10-0 in league to clinch an outright Southwestern League title. After dropping games to Murrieta Valley, the week prior, and Temecula Valley earlier last week, Murrieta Mesa got the win they needed at home Friday, May 21, taking down the Golden Bears 10-5. Five RBIs from senior Makana Olaso, and 6 and two-thirds innings on the bump from Jhayden Raineri, with some solid defense behind him, pretty much sealed the deal in the Rams win. Olaso drove n runs on a home run n the first and a home run in the fourth. Raineri had 9 strikeouts through the course of the game, giving up four hits and one walk. The Rams had a four-run lead going into the fourth inning, but Temecula Valley knotted things when sophomore catcher, Z ach Anderson, hit a three-run home run after the Golden Bears got on the board earlier in the inning due to an error. Murrieta Mesa pu e awa or oo w th fi e runs in the bottom of the fourth inning when Derek Hurtado’s sac s ore one run then shortstop arter arate s n e on the first pitch of the at bat, scoring one run and Olaso homered on a 2-0 count, scoring three runs. Temecula Valley scored one run n the top o the fi th on a hr s Paciolla single, but the Rams answered with one of their own

when sophomore right fielder, Lucas Casey, hit a solo homer. Jhayden Raineri earned the victory on the pitcher’s mound for Murrieta Mesa, who have now won their second-ever Southwestern League title in the school’s decade-long history. Caden Byers threw one-third of an inning in relief out of the bullpen when a batter reached safely on a precelebration, dropped third strike call, which caused the Rams to have to pitch to one more batter for the ﬁna out a ner ha rea he his pitch limit on the previous play. Harrison Bodendorf took the loss for Temecula Valley. The pitcher surrendered four runs on four hits over two and two-thirds innings, striking out two. Murrieta Mesa hit four home runs on the day, which also included a Colby Moran dinger in the third inning. The Rams racked up nine hits in the game. Nate May, Olaso, Garate, and Moran all collected multiple hits for Murrieta Mesa. Paciolla led Temecula Valley with two hits in four at bats. Regular season Southwestern League action comes to an end this week as two games remain for each of the six teams before playoff brackets get announced Sunday, May 30, at www.cifss.org.

Basketball in the spring season was a hard adjustment for many players and coaches, especially if you were a multisport athlete or even a coach for that matter, ut om n o a ear o the unexpected, most felt the same… at least they got to play. The Southwestern League basketball season came to an end this past week and Great Oak (8-2) needed a win over Temecula Valley (5- 5) to secure their share of the 2021 league title. In the city next door, Murrieta Valley (8-2) went into the night garnishing the same record as both were looking to be the outright top team. With about a hundred fans spread throughout the Wolfpack Den (home court), Great Oak jumped out to a 13-point lead early n the ﬁrst uarter ut eme u a Valley fought back to keep the game tight, even taking the lead m wa throu h the se on uarter.

The Lake Elsinore Storm had their second homestand of the season last week and went 2-4 against the Rancho Cucamonga Q uakes. he first nn n s o the r fina game were completely unrecognizable from the following 5 . Through 4 innings, just 1 total run was scored as Noel Vela, the Storm starting pitcher, was able to work himself out of not just one but two bases-loaded jams in three innings. He would end up with fi e str eouts an ero earne runs while Jason Reynolds would follow his strong start by completing a perfect fourth inning. ter that u et start oth offenses came alive. Over the

following 4 and a half innings, the Q uakes and Storm would combine to put up 25 runs, 25 hits, 13 walks, and multiple hours of baseball played. In fact, by the t me th s ame was ﬁn she t ha completed the four-hour mark. An eighth inning 8-8 tie would not last long as Robert Hassell III continued his clutch hitting with an RBI double to put the Storm up 9-8. The Q uakes would then completely unravel as they allowed the Storm to put a shocking 8 runs on the board. The Storm would get 12 men to the plate and would collectively hit for the cycle in the 8th inning alone with 3 singles, 2 doubles, 1 triple, and home run he ﬁna s ore wou have the appearance of a forwardthinking NFL game more than a

minor league Sunday night but, in the end, the Storm would get a much-needed win that places them back on top of the Low-A West. By dropping four of their last six games, the Storm, now garnishing a 9-9 record, will take to the road to take on the San Jose Giants in a six-game series. Following that series, Lake Elsinore will be in Stockton for six games and will return for a home series against the Rancho Cucamonga Q uakes in early June.

H.S. Girls Lacrosse: Murrieta Mesa wins first ever Southwestern League title JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

The Murrieta Mesa girls’ lacrosse team brought home the s hoo s first e er outhwestern League title when they defeated Vista Murrieta 18-4 Wednesday, May 19. The Ladies of Murrieta Mesa stayed committed after the 2020 season was cut short, faced adversity through a pandemic and came out on top going a perfect 10-0 in league during the 2021 season. Autumn Wagner was named player of the game vs Vista urr eta who fin she the season at 6- 4, tied with Chaparral. “Our first team practice/ conditioning was on September 9, 2020,” Murrieta Mesa head coach Molly Sovacool, said. “We couldn’t practice with sticks, or balls… and there were lots of butterflies about even having a season. I don’t think I have ever been that nervous for anything in my life. COVID was all we heard about and lived for six months… so getting back to school/ campus in workout gear with my team was exciting and stressful.” Murrieta Mesa garnished an overall record of 17-2, with their only losses coming from Corona del Mar (18 to 9) and a heartbreaker to Westview, 18-17. As the Lady Rams wrapped up their re u ar season the fin she w th an 11-game winning streak and were a perfect 8-0 at home during the course of their year. “The girls lost a season (2020), but they never lost hope,” Sovacool added. “They always had a clear vision of what their goals were and stayed disciplined in the guidelines and regulations. Every update on a fall sport gett n pushe a or p a o s etting canceled for some teams… it hurt… it was worrisome, but we stayed the course.

goals during the regular season, allowing 111 on defense. In league, Murrieta Mesa scored 189 goals, and only allowed 44 on defense.

H.S. Girls’ Basketball: Murrieta Mesa wins second straight Southwestern League title JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

The Murrieta Mesa girls’ basketball team made the most of their time on the court during this pandemic ridden season, which was moved to the spring instead of playing out their normal winterbased schedule. In 2020, before COVID-19 taking its course all over the world, the Lady Rams won the r ﬁrst ea ue t t e o n undefeated 10-0 in the Southwestern League, garnishing an 18-11 overall record, and making it to round two of the CIF Southern e t on s on pa o s This year, with only a 12-game schedule, Murrieta Mesa went 8-2 in league to win back-to-back titles and will once again move on to the postseason, where they will be home to face Rancho Verde in round one of the Division 2AA pa o s h s season has een un ue for sure,” Murrieta Mesa head coach, Doug Ravasdy said. “We were all thankful just to have the chance to play basketball again. We knew we had enough talent to compete for another league championship but didn’t know how the season would shake out without the normal preseason preparation. Vista Murrieta, who Murrieta esa ost to n the ﬁna ame o the regular season, 46 -38, will also be competing in the Division p a o s an the haparra Lady Pumas, who the Lady Rams defeated twice during league play, will be competing in the Division pa o s “The girls stepped up big time to repeat as champions in a league that had three top 10 teams in different CIF divisions,” added Ravasdy, who went on to say, “We jumped up two CIF divisions from last year, which puts us up against some powerhouse programs. I am looking forward to seeing how we compete at this increased level.” The late start due to COVID-19 and the weekly COVID-19 testing really put a wrinkle into this season. Murrieta Mesa, like most programs, had to share athletes with other sports that they don’t normally have to share with.

“It was a new challenge,” Ravasdy said. “We have a golfer that missed twice a week, including every other league game and a lacrosse player that practices and p a s two erent sports a The weekly COVID testing was stressful only because a single positive test could sideline the program for at least a week. But, so far so good on that front.” According to Ravasdy, Murrieta Mesa will be losing two particularly important players this season in Rayven Crook and K ayli K lemp, who have played in every varsity game since he took over the program three years ago.

California, RivCo to keep mask requirement until June 15 City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

California will wait until June 15 to align with federal guidance that no on er re u res peop e who are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus to wear face covern s o a s sa a The June date is when Gov. Gavin Newsom said he intends to lift most virus-related restrictions, barring setbacks. “On June 15 , California plans to implement the CDC’s guidelines around masking to allow fully vaccinated Californians to go without a mask in most indoor settings. This four-week period will give Californians time to prepare for this change while we continue our relentless focus on delivering vaccines, particularly in underserved communities,” state Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said. Under California Department of Public Health guidelines issued last summer, face coverings are re-

u re un er most r umstan es However, last week, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revised its guidance, saying that people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can largely stop wearing a mask in most indoor and outdoor situations. That announcement did not immediately reverse existing maskwear n re u rements n ers e County, or elsewhere in the state. Former Riverside County Public ea th er r ameron a ser unilaterally issued a face-covering mandate in early April 2020, sayn res ents ou e ﬁne or not complying. But that health order and several others were overturned by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors a month later, based in part on public opposition and a desire by the county to be in general a nment w th state re u rements When the state mandate on face coverings was published in June, the county reverted to a masking re u rement

The order has not been rigidly en or e w th her ha anco declaring a year ago that he would not assign deputies to look for violators or write tickets. He also publicly stated in November that the governor’s stay-at-home orders, which have since been res n e were an a ront to personal liberty, and deputies would not have any part in enforcing them. County Supervisors K evin Jeffries and Jeff Hewitt have, for the most part, not worn masks at board meetings in the last year, and many attendees have refused to wear them, as a sign of protest against what they have complained to the board is government overreach, with a few speakers calling it “medical tyranny.”

Board Chair K aren Spiegel said last week she would rather not wear one, but felt she had to “set an example.” The CDC’s initial guidance in April 2020 was that masking was a preferred precaution in closed spaces where distancing wasn’t possible. Amid growing numbers of COVID-19 cases nationwide, the agency changed its guidelines, saying indoor and outdoor use of masks was recommended. The CDC’s revised guidance was announced in response to repeate stu es show n the e e t eness o the a nes o er n people who have been inoculated protection against infection or severe illness if they are infected. “Anyone who is fully vaccinated can participate in indoor and

outdoor activities, large or small, without wearing a mask or physical distancing,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said. Riverside University Health stem o a s were s ate to a dress the changes during its board meeting. The new guidance does not completely drop mask recommendations for vaccinated people. Face coverings are still urged in some settings such as aboard planes and buses, or in crowded settings such as hospitals. Supermarket chains including Trader Joe’s, Costco and Walmart ha e roppe the mas re u rement for fully vaccinated customers, though store officials said they will not be asking for proof of vaccination.

oo nst tute eﬁnes asthma as a chronic condition that affects airways in the lungs. The airways carry air in and out of the lungs, and when people have asthma, these a rwa s an e ome n ame and narrow, compromising a person’s ability to breathe. Who gets asthma? Many asthma patients are diagnosed during childhood. The ACAAI reports that most children with asthma exhibit symptoms e ore the r ﬁ th rth a s sthma symptoms also may appear in adults older than 20, and such instances may be attributed to adult-onset asthma. Certain adults may be more likely to develop adult-onset asthma than others. For example, WebMD reports that women who are experiencing hormonal changes, such as those who are pregnant or in menopause, may be more likely to get adult-onset asthma. What are the symptoms of asthma? The ACAAI notes that it can be hard to recognize symptoms of asthma in very young children. That’s because the bronchial tubes in infants, toddlers and preschoolaged youngsters are already small and narrow. Head colds, chest colds and other illnesses may further narrow these airways. So symptoms of asthma could be mistakenly associated with colds or other illnesses.

A nagging cough that lingers for days or weeks or sudden, scary breathing emergencies are two symptoms of pediatric asthma. Parents also can be on the lookout for these symptoms: Coughing, especially at night A wheezing or whistling sound when breathing, especially when exhaling Trouble breathing or fast breathing that causes the skin around the ribs or neck to pull in tightly re uent o s that sett e n the chest Like pediatric asthma, adultonset asthma can be easy to miss. That’s because of natural changes n mus es an a st en n o hest walls, both of which are associated with aging and therefore often attributed to age. The symptoms of adult-onset asthma are similar to those of pediatric asthma, and adults who suspect they might be experiencing asthma symptoms despite any history of the condition can ask o tors to on u t some spe ﬁ tests designed to detect asthma. A lung function test and a methacholine challenge test are two ways doctors can detect adult-onset asthma. Allergy season has arrived, and that could make some people more vulnerable to asthma.

FAITH

What we Christians should do

Zachary Elliott SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Have you ever asked God, “What do you want me to do? ” If so, you’re just like millions of people around the world, especially Christians. Asking God what his will for your life is isn’t always that simple. We ask God everything from

should I move to this city or not, should I get married to this person or not, should I take this job or not. There’s no end to the areas we seek his will. As I’m sure you know, God doesn’t spell out every aspect of our lives in the Bible even though we wish he would. In some areas, you just need faith. However, other areas of a Christian’s life are so clear we should all be doing them. Here’s a short list of what we Christians should do. 1. We should live for Christ and not for ourselves. 2 Corinthians 5 :14-15 says, “Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.” Let’s all agree; there’s a whole ot o se ﬁsh n n the wor Those who follow Jesus should

live for Jesus. 2. We should look at our lives and the world in light of eternity. 2 Corinthians 5: 16 says, “from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.” God views the world in light of his eternal plan revealed to us in his son Christ Jesus. We should do the same. It brings a whole lot more peace in your life when you stop looking at everything from a human perspective and instead look at it from God’s. 3. We should have an unwavering belief that life change comes only through Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5 :17 says, “If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! ” This is the essential belief of every Christian. Jesus changes lives. When you put your faith in him, he makes you a new person.

4. We should love the message. 2 Corinthians 5 :18-19 says, “All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.” There is no more powerful message in the world than this; Through Jesus Christ, God forgives sinners. Everyone needs to know this. It’s why we who follow Jesus should never be embarrassed, ashamed or uncomfortable with the message we proclaim. 5 . We should live as Christ’s ambassador. 2 Corinthians 5 :20 says, “We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.

God wants everyone to know the Good News of Jesus Christ. That’s why he’s commissioned us as his messengers to a world that needs him. Living as Christ’s ambassador s the most ur ent s n ﬁ ant an u ﬁ n th n ou w e er o with your life. 6. We should live free from sin. 2 Corinthians 5: 21 says, “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” When you come to Jesus, God forgives your sins. All of them! And you are declared to be right with him. And he doesn’t want us to fall back into our old ways of living. He wants us to live for him.

Jehovah’s Witnesses’ year without knocking on doors It’s been one year since Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide adjusted their hallmark methods of sharing comfort and hope from the scriptures due to the pandemic. For many, the change from ringing doorbells and knocking on doors to making phone calls and writing letters expanded and invigorated their ministry. “Witnesses have embraced this sh t ﬁn n the oo n these trying times,” Joseph Castano said. He reports a 30% increase in the Witnesses’ preaching activity in his region of northern Virginia and nearby parts of West Virginia. “In fact, I hear many saying, ‘ I’m able to do more now.’” In March 2020, the some 1.3 million Witnesses in the United States suspended their doorto-door and face-to-face forms of public ministry and moved congregation meetings to videoconferencing. “It has been a very deliberate decision based on two principles: our respect for life and love of neighbor,” Robert Hendriks, U.S. spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses, said. “But we are still witnesses and, as such, we must testify about our faith. So it was ne ta e that we wou ﬁn a way to continue our work.” In the bitterly cold winters of Arden Hills, Minnesota, Terri Whitmore normally bundles up for the door-to-door ministry in a long down coat and snow boots sometimes with removable cleats to help navigate icy sidewalks. Now she sits at her dining room table, sips on hot tea, and calls people on her cellphone to share the same message. In December, she conducted more than twice as many Bible studies than in any

prior month. “I’m having a blast,” she said. “After a nice phone call, it energizes you. Y ou can’t wait to make the next call.” Her “go-to” topics for conversation with her neighbors are COVID-19, civil unrest and government. “Some people feel like they have nothing secure to hold on to,” she said. “The power of God’s word is amazing. Y ou can just share a scripture and you feel like they’re settling down.” Nearly 5 1,000 people in the United States last year made a re uest or a tness to onta t them, either through a local congregation or jw.org, the organizat on s o a we s te a or n to Hendriks. Since the outbreak, the Witnesses have followed up on these re uests a etters an phone calls instead of in-person visits. “Our love for our neighbors is stronger than ever,” Hendriks said. “In fact, I think we have needed each other more than ever. We are ﬁn n that peop e are perp e e stressed and feeling isolated. Our work has helped many regain a sense of footing – even normalcy – at a very unsettled time.” For K ayla McFadden of Temecula, the shift to remote preaching work allowed her to increase her preaching activities and gain a renewed sense of purpose. “K eeping a regular routine in my ministry during this pandemic has helped me to have some stability,” McFadden said. “This has also helped me to be more positive and happy by reaching out to upbuild others during this time.” The 33-year-old has relied on making phone calls and writing letters as safe alternative ways of reaching people in the area. “It’s

helped me to be more thoughtful of those in the community, especially ones I visited regularly,” McFadden explained, adding that she has also been able to work on bettering herself as a person, as well as “improving my skills and the ua t o m m n str In addition, McFadden says her family has grown to be more connected during the past year, which has contributed to peace in the home. “It’s helped us learn to be more adaptable to changing circumstances and to look for the pos t e n ht o a u t s tuation,” she said. In the rural areas of Salina, K ansas, where the wheat and orn ﬁe s stret h or a res the Milbradt family sometimes drives miles from one house to the next to reach their neighbors. Now, instea o u n aso ne to ﬁ up their vehicle for the ministry, they spend money on paper, envelopes, stamps and crayons. “We look for ways to add variety to our ministry,” Z eb Milbradt said. He and his wife, Jenny, help their boys — Colton, 8, and Benjamin, 6 — write letters to children’s book authors, local police and hospital workers. Sometimes the boys even include with the letters hand-drawn pictures of the Bible’s promise of a global paradise. “We’ve been able to get the message to people who we wouldn’t necessarily reach otherwise,” Jenny Milbradt said. A letter Benjamin sent to nurses at a regional health center included a uote rom the e s prophe at Isaiah 33:24 of a coming time when no one will say, “I am sick.” The center’s marketing secretary replied to Benjamin, informing him that she scanned and emailed

his letter to 2,000 employees. It “made so many people smile,” she said. Witnesses have also made a on erte e ort to he on stant friends and family — sometimes texting links to Bible-based articles on jw.org that cover timely topics, such as isolation, depression and how to beat pandemic fatigue. “Former Bible students have started studying again,” Tony Fowler, who helps organize the ministry in the northern portion of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, said. “Colleagues at work have now started to show interest. Some have started Bible studies with family members who showed very little interest before the pandemic.” Castano has been reaching out to Witnesses who had long ago stopped associating with fellow Witnesses. “The pandemic has reignited their spirituality,” he said,

adding that many are attending virtual meetings with some sharing in telephone witnessing and letter writing even after decades of inactivity. “It’s been pretty outstanding,” he said. Fowler and Castano both report about a 20% increase in online meeting attendance. But perhaps the most s n ﬁ ant rowth s n an area that cannot be measured by numbers. “I think we’ve grown as a people,” Fowler said. “We’ve grown in appreciation for other avenues of the ministry, our love for our neighbor, and love for one another. We’re a stronger people because of all of this, and that’s a beautiful thing to see.” For more information on the activities of Jehovah’s Witnesses, visit jw.org, with content available in more than 1,000 languages.

City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

With infections and hospitalizations dropping and vaccinations rising, California is on track to lift the bulk of its COVID-19 regulations June 15 , including a complete removal of capacity re-

strictions and physical distancing re u rements the state s ea th and Human Services Secretary said May 21. Dr. Mark Ghaly said the state will largely align with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidelines on maskwearing, and some travel restric-

tions may linger involving trips to countries heavily impacted by the virus. He said there will be no statemandated or state-operated “vaccine passport” program, but some individual businesses or venues ma hoose to re u re su h er ﬁ at ons or emp o ees an ustomers. For “mega-outdoor” events – those with more than 10,000 people – “we are recommending that those operators have a system to verify vaccination, verify a negative test, or in the case where attendees are neither vaccinated or tested, give that person an option to come into the event but wear a mask throughout the event,” Ghaly said. However, vaccinations or negative COVID-19 tests will be re u re or peop e to atten ar escale indoor events with more than 5,000 pe ople. e are re u r n re u r n not recommending – a vaccine er ﬁ at on ne at e test an there will not be an option to come in if you’re neither of those and you can’t verify that by just wearing a mask,” he said. Ghaly said the state will provide guidance to venue operators and

other business owners about how to go about verifying vaccinations or negative tests, possibly including “self-attestation” by attendees. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced in April that the state’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy – the colorcoded, four-tier system that dictates COVID-19 restrictions on capacity and operations at businesses and other venues during the pandemic – would be lifted June 15. The date was chosen to allow ample time for a large segment of the population to get vaccinated. While vaccinations continue to increase, demand has waned in recent weeks and some counties across the state continue to languish in more restrictive red or orange tiers of the state’s blueprint, including Riverside and San Diego counties. But Ghaly said that while the state is still hoping to see case rates drop further and vaccinations increase, the plan for lifting restrictions June 15 w ill go forward. “We are now at a point, given our metrics that we’ve been watching, California is at a place where we can begin to talk about moving beyond the blueprint,” Ghaly said. He noted that more than 35 .5 million vaccine doses have been administered statewide, the case

transmission rate is below the goal and hospitalizations have fallen to a level not seen “since the very early months and weeks of the pandemic.” He said the average daily number of new hospital admissions is currently 260, below the state-set benchmark of 300. According to Ghaly, moving “beyond the blueprint” June 15 means the elimination of capacity restrictions; elimination of physia stan n re u rements or “attendees, customers and guests at businesses”; adherence to the CDC guidelines on mask-wearing, which currently allows vaccinated people to shed masks in most situations; and aligning with CDC guidance on travel, meaning the state “will have a travel advisory, but it will track with the CDC.” “What we expect to see, potent a s erent parts o our globe that have severe outbreaks may have some restrictions and prohibitions on travelers coming into the country and we will follow those according to the CDC,” Ghaly said. “But they will not be in the same wa that we e ha uarant nes an so at on re u rements for travel within the country.”

California readies to prevent blackouts, but threats remain Adam Beam THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

California’s top energy regulators said the state is better prepared to avoid last summer’s rotating blackouts, but they cautioned the power grid of the nation’s most populous state is still vulnerable to extreme heat waves that could force more outages later this year. tate o a s sa the ha e a u re an a t ona me awatts of capacity ahead of a likely scorching summer that threatens to increase demand beyond what the grid can handle. That includes an additional 2,000 megawatts of batteries designed to store energy generated from renewable sources — like solar — that stop working when it gets dark. In general, one megawatt of energy is enough to power hundreds of homes, depending on how it is generated. “Does that mean we are in the clear? Not necessarily,” Elliot Mainzer, president and CEO of the California Independent Systems

Operator, told state lawmakers during an oversight hearing Tuesday. “The most significant risk factor for grid reliability remains extreme heat, particularly heat that spreads across the wider western United States. And it continues to get hotter every year.” More than an inconvenience, power outages during a major heat wave can also be deadly for vulnerable people while causing a host of other problems in a digital age that relies on electricity for everything from business transactions to Facebook posts. Blackouts have become more common in California as utility companies will often intentiona turn o the power when t gets too windy in the dry summer months to prevent toppled power lines from starting wildfires — like the one that killed 85 people and mostly destroyed the town of Paradise in 2018. But the blackouts in August were the ﬁrst n near ears because of an energy shortage, putt n a orn a s uest to ha e

100% of its energy come from renewable sources under more scrutiny. “This summer will be an important test for the state,” Assemblyman Chris Holden, a Democrat from Pasadena and chair of the Assembly Utilities and Energy Committee, said. “California is at the vanguard of renewable energy policy. The nation and the world are watching to see how we integrate renewables but also that we can ensure reliability while doing so.” California’s plan to survive the summer includes buying power from places “that are not clean resources,” Marybel Batjer, president of the California Public Utilities Commission, told lawmakers Tuesday, May 18. She did not say what those sources were, but she said regulators chose to buy them because they wanted to do everything they could to prevent blackouts this summer out of “health and safety concerns.” “I want to be clear that our planning and implementation of

our clean energy future progresses forward and will only accelerate in the months and years to come,” Batjer said. Another round of blackouts could pose political concerns for Gov. Gavin Newsom, who will likely face a recall election later this year. In 2003, former Democratic Gov. Gray Davis was remo e rom o e n a re a election largely driven by his handling of rolling blackouts, which were prompted by the deregulation of the energy sector and market manipulation by Enron and other companies. Newsom’s recall election is driven largely by anger over his handling of the pandemic. But rolling blackouts, however brief, could hurt him as he seeks to insp re onﬁ en e n oters that he deserves to keep his job. Energy demand typically peaks in the late afternoon as air conditioners work to cool homes during the hottest part of the day. De-

mand usually subsides at night as temperatures cool. But that didn’t happen in August, when temperatures were up to 20 degrees above normal for much of the western United States. Demand was so high the weekend of Aug. 14 and 15 that state regulators ordered utility compan es to ntent ona turn o the power for some people to prevent more widespread outages across the grid, with outages lasting between eight minutes and twoand-a-half hours. Newsom declared a state emeren as state o a s too rast a t ons to ﬁn more power hat included David Hochschild, chair of the California Energy Commission, asking the U.S. Navy to use their diesel engines to power their ships instead of relying on on-shore power. “There was a lot of things we had to do that none of us wants to do again,” Batjer said.

Riverside County will end fiscal year with larger reserve City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Riverside County Board of uper sors s ne o a on a report indicating that Riverside County government will end the fis a ear n etter on t on than originally expected, with a larger reser e poo an no untena e eficits within county agencies. In a 5 -0 vote without comment, the board approved the Executive e s -pa e ompen um on th r uarter finan es sett n the stage for a round of hearings on the fis a ear u et ne t month he urrent fis a ear ends June 30. “While the current projected out oo has mpro e s n fi ant we have challenges looming in the om n fis a ear that w nee to be addressed,” the Executive Offi e state n an ntro u t on to the budget report. “We must continue to work toward structural balance and the development of healthy reserves going forward.” In June 2020, budget analysts told the board that the county could a ea m on efi t the end of 2020-2021. However, that was before the county realized the enefits o a most m on n Coronavirus Aid, Relief & Economic Security Act funding. The county’s reserve pool had also been expected to shrink from $ 26 0 million to $ 222 million, with money needed to cover spending gaps in multiple agencies. But according to the report, the county w en the fis a ear w th a er pool - totaling $ 277 million. Despite the impacts of the coronavirus public health lockdowns, discretionary revenue has increased an estimated $ 38 million, for $ 894 million in receipts. The adopted 2020-2021 budget projected revenue would top out at $ 85 5 million. Most of the increase - $ 23 million - was netted from the disposition of redevelopment agency

assets handled by the state under the phase-out of RDA projects that began as part of then-Gov. Jerry Brown’s budget realignment in 2011. The overall 2020-2021 budget, based on both discretionary and programmed funds, is $ 6 .46 billion. As the impacts of the virus and lockdowns have lessened, some agencies have returned funds to the county treasury, most prominently the Emergency Management Department, which ended up not needing $ 12 million in contingency revenue, according to the report. her ha an o n orme budget analysts that he may be returning $ 7 million to the general fund, thanks to anticipated reimbursements from the state for the monthslong housing of jail inmates who were slated to be transferred to state correctional facilities, where intakes were stopped as part of a COVID-19 mitigation strategy. The report did not address shortfalls specifically. However, the county’s midyear update in March contained warnings that several a en es ma nee to e a ﬁ e The Department of Animal Services has been facing hurdles in trying to contain losses. The midyear report stated DAS was nearly $ 2 million in the hole, stemming in part from less revenue tied to pet a opt ons ens n an ﬁe operations.

Registrar of Voters Rebecca Spencer told the board last week that the ROV will need additional funding for the pending gubernatorial recall election, as well as more mone or sta n an e u pment to ensure e ent runn n o e e tions going forward. The board postponed action on her re uests unt the en o u when another public hearing on the agency’s challenges is planned.

Standardized testing faces uncertain future Collin Binkley AP EDUCATION WRITER

No UC school will be allowed to use the SAT and ACT tests in admissions, after a California judge ruled they would disadvantage lowincome students and students with disabilities. Standardized tests are returning to the nation’s schools this spring, but millions of students will face shorter exams that carry lower stakes, and most families are being given the option to forgo testing entirely. With new flexibility from the Biden administration, states are adopting a patchwork of testing plans that aim to curb the stress of exams while still capturing some data on student learning. The lenient approach means large swaths of students will go untested, shattering hopes for a full picture of how much learning has been set back by the pandemic. “We will end up with a highly imperfect set of data,” Robin Lake, director of the Center on Reinventing Public Education at the University of Washington, said. “This is something our country will have to commit to tracking and learning about for at least the next few years, and maybe the next decade.” Some of the nation’s largest districts plan to test only a fraction of their students as many continue to learn remotely. In New Y ork City, students must opt in to be tested this year. In Los Angeles, most students are not being asked to take state exams this year. Other districts are s a n a uest ons or test n n fewer subjects. It’s the latest episode in a longfought battle over school testing and, as in the past, parents are polarized. Some are demanding tests to get a sense of their children’s progress. Others see no need to put their children through that kind of stress. As a teacher, Jay Wamsted believes there’s value in testing. But when his sixth-grade daughter K ira asked to opt out this year, he saw no

reason to object. He already knows she needs to catch up on math after months of remote learning. And as a teacher at her school, he knew that many other students were also backing out, undermining the value of the results. “I know she’s a little behind, and I don’t need that data,” Wamsted, who lives in Smyrna, Georgia, said. “To take a month to gather data that is not going to mean anything to any of their teachers next year - it seems like a waste of time.” Parent Abby Norman found her third-grade daughter crying in her bedroom the morning tests were scheduled to begin at her school near Atlanta. Priscilla, 9, had just returned to the classroom after learning remotely and was worried she wasn’t prepared. “She was so nervous about this test that I don’t care about at all that does not matter to me,” Norman, who is a preacher, said. “I literally ended up telling her, ‘ If you want to lick the test and give it back, I don’t care.’” With that reassurance, Abby agreed to take the tests and scored a most o the harts her mom said. Still, Norman resents that students were put in that situation at all. Several states lobbied the Biden administration to cancel standardized tests entirely for a second year, but the education department aimed for a middle ground: It told states to test as many students as possible w thout re u r n them to ome n just for exams. The goal, the agency said, should be to measure the pandemic’s impact and identify how to help students recover. Acknowledging the challenges of the pandemic, the agency invited states to shorten or delay tests, and it urged them to ease the stakes for students. But the department later granted additional leniency to certain states, prompting criticism that it failed to set a clear bar. Washington, D.C., was granted permission to cancel tests because

88% of students were learning remotely, but the agency rejected s m ar re uests rom h an ew or an eor a e uests to scale back testing were granted in Colorado and Oregon, but a plan to narrow the testing pool in Washington state was rejected. Those who oppose testing say it’s the last thing students need after such a challenging year. Schools have other ways to evaluate students, they say, and testing only takes away from classroom time. Michigan’s education chief has aste the une en e t granted to states. Schools across Michigan have already used other tests to assess students, he said, and more exams “will inform precisely nothing about our children’s needs.” tate o a s n ew or ar ue that testing is unlikely to produce useful data given the variability in instruction during the pandemic. “In fact, the students most in need of state assessments - those receiving remote instruction - are the very children who are not reu re to ta e the test the state s top e u at on o a s wrote n an April statement. Testing advocates counter that there’s still value in collecting as much data as possible. Lake, at the University of Washington, said even imperfect results can help illuminate the scope of the problem schools face as they help students recover. “Standardized tests at the state level are the most consistent data we’ve had to track academic progress, so it would be a huge missed opportunity to forgo those tests this year,” she said. “Flying blind is not a responsible position for a public o a to ta e Some critics blame the Biden administration for allowing halfhearted attempts at evaluations. They point to places like New Y ork City, where the outgoing schools chief urged parents in February to consider opting out of tests. Oregon’s two largest districts have

voted to defy state orders and skip testing. The state says their penalty will be to submit a plan to come into compliance next year. “These states are simply playing games. They’re not even pretending to ma e an e ort to test stu ents and the Biden administration is letting them get away with it,” Michael Petrilli, president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a conservative education think tank, said. If testing isn’t feasible now, Petrilli said, it should be done in the fall. Maryland, New Jersey and Washington state have postponed tests, and it’s an option for districts in California. n some states o a s are pushing ahead with tests much as they have in the past. In Tennessee and r ansas e u at on o a s ha e said all healthy students are expected to take state exams, which are on e n o ere n person ore than 1.4 million tests have already been given in Arkansas this spring, and the state is on track to test at least 95 % of students, according to the state’s education department. In normal years, the federally re u re tests are use to au e

s hoo e e t eness an hart the progress of students, both as individuals and in demographic groups. In some states, students must pass certain tests to move to the next grade or graduate from high school. But this year, most states are focusing on measuring student growth an ett n s hoo s an stu ents o the hook for the results. After last year’s tests were canceled, there was hope that this year’s exams would provide the most comprehensive look yet at the pandemic’s impact on education. But the inconsistency between states now makes a broad analysis impossible, said Scott Marion, e e ut e re tor o the nonproﬁt Center for Assessment, which helps states design and evaluate tests. Still, he believes the results will have value. As schools begin the long process to help students recover, he said, this year’s data will provide a foundation to measure against. “I do think the data can be a useful baseline going forward,” he said. “If this is the low point, or close to it, how are our kids going to come out of it going forward? ”

As drought intensifies, California seeing more wildfires Don Thompson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

As California sinks deeper into drought it already has had more than a t ona w fires than at this point in 2020, which was a record-breaking year that saw more than 4% of the state’s land scorched ames The danger prompted Gov. Gavin Newsom to propose spending a re or on on w fire m t gation. That’s double what he had proposed in January. California’s mountains and foothills are expected to see abovenorma w fire potent a rom une through August and possibly into the a wh h s the usua pea fire season, according to the National Drought Mitigation Center and the Southwest Coordination Center. While some parts of the Southwest saw cool and moist conditions over the past month, that wasn’t the case in California. said Chuck Maxwell, a meteorologist and predictive services manager with the Southwest Coordination enter n u uer ue out of California has drought conditions ranging from moderate to exceptional, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor that measures conditions.

They’ve been able to deliberately burn about 17 s uare m es s uare ometers through April 30, down about 40% from last year. Even a dry winter would have allowed for the prescribed burns, ut o a s ot a ate start ue to the e treme fire a t t the se on half of last year, said Christine McMorrow, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. “Prescribed burns are a big part of our strategy,” said Newsom, who included $ 5 0 million for them in his proposed budget. Cal Fire Chief Thom Porter called them “our best and most cost effective tool” for clearing both overgrown areas and invasive non-native plants. But he cautioned that “not every piece of California s rea or pres r e fire et w th “a lot of areas where it’s not safe to put fire on the roun un er an circumstances.” Smoke from deliberate burns is also an issue, he said, though the

state tries not to burn near sensitive locations like hospitals. And the state can’t intentionally allow fires to urn on pr ate an w thout permission and safeguards in place, Porter said, although it is trying to get blanket approval from large forestland owners to allow fires to continue in a safe manner once they’ve started. That means in many areas offi a s w ha e to ont nue us n hand crews, machinery or animals to clear overgrown areas. “Once we have safe areas to burn we w re ntro u e fire an that w be the primary tool in the future, but I’m talking about decades out,” Porter said. “We have to build that over an incremental basis over the next many, many years to get to the right

Critical Race Theory – What’s the big deal? Part 2 T hi s is second in a series on C ritical R ace T he ory

Julie Reeder PUBLISHER

Last week we focused on the Marxist/ neo-Marxist roots of Critical Race Theory (CRT) which are strong, but where neo-Marxism e t o postmo ern sm too o er making the way for CRT today. Postmodernism has its roots in Marxism and concepts written about by French Theorists in the last century, including Michel ou au t a ues err a an Jean-Francois Lyotard who were Marxist sympathizers. Postmodernism is a hard concept to describe but it represents a set of ideas and modes of thought that came together in response to spe ﬁ h stor a on t ons Like its predecessor Marxism, it was more about groups – owners against workers, proletariat against the bourgeoisie, etc. Postmodernism was a critical reaction to modernism, including the Enlightenment. In the Enlightenment it was the opposite. The individual was paramount, the proper unit of analysis, a fundamental reality, capable of rational thought and independent speech and could weigh arguments according to evidence, logic and reason with independent sovereignty, free will, etc. Postmodernists are skeptical of all grand narratives, like religions, including the grand Enlightenment narrative. Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay, co-authors of the book “Cynical Theories,” explain that Postmodernism is a reaction to and rejection of modernity. Modernity is “the profound cultural transformation which saw the rise of representative democracy, the age of science, the supersedence

of reason over superstition, and the establishment of individual liberties to live according to one’s values.” They write, “Although postmodernism openly rejects the possibility of the foundations that have built modernity, it has nevertheless had a profound impact on the thinking, culture and politics of those societies that modernity built.” Since there were no successful governments based on Marxism and in fact, they were catastrophically bloody, resulting in 100 million dead from tyranny and genocide. It was no longer intellectually credible to promote those ideas as an intellectual. People were responding to the World Wars and the widespread disillusionment with Marxism. They were a so uest on n re ous wor views in light of the post-industrial times and the rapid advance of technology. But because postmodernism is also a radical skepticism of objective knowledge, it challenges our social, cultural, and political thinking with intentional disruptive ways. Normally, as a culture, we would welcome the debate and work these ideas out in the open. However, it is part of the postmodern/ CRT doctrine that if you disagree, the response is not to debate, it’s censorship or cancellation. Free speech and open debate can be considered aggressive and maybe even dangerous, or possibly even “hate speech.” One important thing that postmodernism does not do, is give credit to advances in science, culture, etc. It radically rejects the foundations upon which today’s advanced civilizations and cultures are u t an onse uent has the potential to undermine them. That is one reason why the preference is for revolution. Destroy and build the utopia up from nothing, rather than recognize progress and build on that. Postmodernism was prominent w th n the ﬁe s o the human t es and the social sciences, including psychoanalysis, linguistics, philosophy, history and sociology. The Encyclopedia Britannica eﬁnes postmo ern sm as a ate 20th century movement charac-

terized by broad skepticism, subjectivism or relativism; a general suspicion of reason; and an acute sensitivity to the role of ideology in asserting and maintaining political and economic power.” This is relevant because of the rejection of science, tradition, identity, (example: no one can tell you if you are a male or female). Relativism of moral and ethical matters: Morality is made. It is not based on cultural or religious tradition, or law. Morality is constructed by dialogue and choice because it is believed that all forms of morality are socially constructed cultural worldviews subject to the person’s view, feelings and ever changing disposition. Steinar K vale, professor of psychology and director of the Center of Q ualitative Research, says, “The central themes of postmodernism include doubting that any human truth provides an objective representation of reality, focusing on language and the way societies use it to create their own local realities, and denying the universal (2+ 2= 4). These, he explains, resulted in an increased interest in narrative and storytelling, particularly when “truths” are situated within particular cultural constructs, and a relativism that acepts that erent es r pt ons o reality cannot be measured against one another n an ﬁna that s objective – way. Therefore, knowledge, truth, meaning and morality are, according to postmodernist thinking, culturally constructed and relative products of individual cultures, none of which possess the necessary tools or terms to evaluate the others.” This is why it’s dangerous in our schools. Gone is objective truth, including math, science, history, etc. Postmodernism in rejecting modernity, including Enlightenment thinking, posits skepticism that objective reality can be known through reliable methods, like the s ent ﬁ metho an math wo plus two therefore, does not always ha e to e ua a or n to postmodernism. Objective knowledge or truth isn’t really obtainable, and you also have to have a commitment to cultural constructivism. They want to not only change what people believe, but how they

believe and then encourage them to be activists. Enter Social Justice Warriors. Then after objective truth is rejected, it is taught that society is formed by systems of power and hierarchies which decide what can be known and how. Usher in political correctness. t oesn t u te ma e sense to you, don’t feel bad because you aren’t alone. So first we reject reason and all the advances brought by the n htenment an the s ent fi method. We blur all boundaries of society, gender, nationality, family, etc. with cultural constructivism. We fixate on language to the point of neurosis and reject free speech and cancel those who may disagree or try to understand. Then if the conversation gets a little tough or complicated, it descends into name calling, especially the favored “racist” tag. We are seeing this locally at varying levels of government. What follows is an obsession with oppression, activism and identity politics which divides people into groups primarily by race. Gone are the standards fought for peacefully by Dr. Martin Luther K ing, Jr. of judging someone by the content of their character rather than by the color of their s n ou ha e to first ons er someone’s race and this is also what is being taught to children in school. CRT turns it around so that ou on t first ons er skin color, you are racist. And if you speak up about it or disagree with the principle, you are racist. And if you are “white” you are automatically a racist and an oppressor, no matter who you are or your upbringing. The two books most read and recognized right now supporting CRT are “White Fragility” by Robin DiAngelo and “How to be an Anti-Racist” by Ibram X K endi. A good book explaining the dangers of CRT is “Cynical Theories” by Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay. In this new world, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced that she will no longer take interviews from white people. Can you imagine if a caucasian mayor did that? This is only one of many

openly racist actions. It is reverting us back to considering people for school, grants, etc. by race, which is racist. I never thought we would revert back to systematic racism, but it seems those who preach against it are bringing it back into fashion. Journalist Christopher Rufo reports to have 1,000 stories from across the country about CRT. Here are a couple. “The Treasury Department held a training session te n sta mem ers that rtually all white people contribute to racism’ and that they must convert ‘ everyone in the federal government’ to the ideology of ‘ antiracism.’ And the Sandia National Laboratories, which designs America’s nuclear arsenal, sent white male executives to a threeday reeducation camp, where they were told that ‘ white male culture’ was analogous to the ‘ K K K ,’ ‘ white supremacists,’ and ‘ mass killings.’ The executives were then forced to renounce their ‘ white male privilege’ and write letters o apo o to fi t t ous women an people of color.” Former Department of Justice Attorney General William Barr recently argued that “the greatest threat to religious liberty in America today” is “the increasingly militant and extreme secular-progressive climate of our state-run educational system.” “He said that this indoctrination in public schools may well have reached the point of being unconstitutional and laid out a case for a legal challenge to the... brainwashing based on the First Amendment.” So, why are we taking the time each week to look at Critical Race Theory and start at its roots? e are fin n t n some o our schools and certainly in local, state and national government. An “ethnic studies” framework for K -12 was just passed by the California legislature. We have to understand it before we can really report on it and we are taking you on that journey of discovery with us. As parents in school board meetings across the ountr fi ht t an state o ernments outlaw it, we better do our research and at least have a basic understanding since the next generation is possibly at stake.

severe injuries, he insisted on being the last soldier on a medical evacuation helicopter. Four of those soldiers perished, and Cashe succumbed to his injuries 22 days later, joining the ranks of those taken away far too soon. While it is impossible ever to know what was going through his mind in those chaotic yet critical moments following the attack, we may catch a glimpse of what it could have been by listening to Medal of Honor recipient Army Capt. Florent “Flo” Groberg. With another soldier’s help, Groberg put himself between a suicide bomber and a dismounted patrol in Afghanistan in 2012. Although Groberg thankfully survived, four soldiers were killed. Groberg has said, “In combat, there might be a moment where

you have to make a decision that will more than likely dictate whether or not you live or die. When you are willing to put yourself in front of that bullet, in front of that suicide bomber, in front of that mortar, in front of anything that is going to kill you for your men — t hat’s love.” We know Cashe loved his soldiers — he made the ultimate sa r ﬁ e or them he harsh rea ity of war, and military service in general, is that, sadly, not everyone will make it home. As we gather together — whether safely in person or online — let us honor the memory of those heroes no longer with us, and let us strive to live up to the example set su h se ess patr ots to a and every day.

The weight of Memorial Day Robert Graves SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

For the second year in a row, Memorial Day may look a little erent than n ears past owever, the spirit of the day, along with our memories and emotions, remains the same. For countless families across the nation, Memorial Day is a stark — and often painful — reminder of those loved ones who were never afforded the opportunity to be honored as veterans. Their sacrifice is a true expression of selfless service — something no one would pick for themselves. Whether they volunteere to ﬁ ht n a war ser e at a time of peace or never expected to wear our nation’s uniform until their draft number came up, they

represent the best America has to o er We feel their losses, from the sacred and silent hills of Arlington National Cemetery to the many other final resting places worldwide. Far too many mothers, fathers, siblings and children feel the immense weight of seeing an empty chair at the table yearround. This fall marks the 20th year we’ve been at war, longer than any mer an on t that ame efore. About 2.7 million Americans ha e ser e n ra an han stan, over half of whom deployed more than once. Those returning veterans are now our fellow community members, neighbors and friends, who can speak of the ra er an sa r ﬁ es nown on to those who w tnesse t ﬁrsthan

There are also incredible accounts of courageous heroes who cannot speak for themselves. For example, Sgt. 1st Class Alwyn ashe w e ome the first a service member to receive the e a o onor or a t ons n ra or Afghanistan. At 35 years old, and on his second deployment to the wartorn country following the 2003 invasion, Cashe didn’t hesitate to sa r fi e h mse to sa e h s e ow soldiers. His Bradley Fighting Vehicle had struck a roadside bomb an was soon en u e n ames Drenched in fuel and under enemy fire ashe entere the a e not once but three times to pull others out of the vehicle.

Assemblymember Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Access to broadband service is vital in today’s world and our rural north county area has a great need to improve access to the internet. Having a high-speed internet onne t on an ma e the erence when it comes to getting an

education, a job, seeing a doctor or simply staying connected with family and friends. That’s why my caucus and I have long supported e orts to ose the ta e throughout California. A study commissioned by the California Public Utilities Commission found that the cost of providing high-speed internet to every underserved Californian would be $ 6 .8 billion. The recently released “May Revise” to the State Budget proposes that $7 billion be allocated over the next three years to expand broadband infrastructure, increase affordability and enhance access to broadband for all Californians. Of that, $1.5 billion would come from the General Fund – California is currently running a surplus – and another $5.5 billion would be federally funded. Many predominantly rural areas lack any connectivity, and in others ser e s spott a o a e uate broadband service has a negative

impact on many California schools, on the education provided to their students, and on the communities in which they’re located. Students living in rural or impoverished areas who can’t access high-speed internet are being deprived of sign ﬁ ant e u at ona opportun t es available elsewhere. Here locally, as many of you know, internet service is either sketchy or unavailable in some areas. This may be a once-in-a-generation chance to expand broadband infrastructure throughout California. With 20 broadband-related bills pending in the Capitol, many erent an ompet n strate es will need to be hashed out. Nevertheless, there is currently a sense of urgency regarding the issue, and taking action has wide, bipartisan support. Closing the digital divide that impacts millions of Californians is essential. And now, we have the ability to do something about it.

Thousands of homebound residents in Riverside County will now be able to get vaccinated County signs agreement with Corona-based firm to provide countywide service Thousands of homebound residents of Riverside County will now be able to get vaccinated after the county signed an agreement w th a orona- ase ﬁrm to provide the service. The $ 300,000 contract with United Lab Services was signed this week and the company has started to vaccinate residents. The county will provide the vaccine and pay United Lab Service $75 for each person vaccinated. “This is such a critically needed service,” Dr. Geoffrey Leung, pu hea th o er or ers e County, said. “Vaccines are available to so many in our community, and we did not want to leave out those who cannot come to our clinics for vaccines.” The number of homebound residents in Riverside County is

not known, but health officials estimate it is about 3,000 people. While immunizing those who are homebound is important, hea th o a s stress t s a so r t cal that anyone who cares for or visits someone who is homebound be vaccinated as well. “This is an important step to increase access to the vaccine to some of our most vulnerable residents,” Board Chair K aren Spiegel, Second District Supervisor, said. County officials will provide United Lab Services a list of homebound residents who wish to be vaccinated. That list will come from the state through its MyTurn appointment scheduling system, and from other sources. To be added to the list of homebound individuals seeking vac-

Learn about Red Flag Warnings Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

Anyone that 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? The National Weather Service says that a Red Flag Warning is used to warn of an impending or o urr n e a ent er fie when weather and fuel conditions that are e treme re ept e to fire ignition are met simultaneously. Its issuance denotes a high e ree o onfi en e that these conditions will occur in 12 to 24 hours or less. Forecasters can issue the watch or warning for all or se e te port ons w th n a fire weather zone. The warnings rema n n e e t unt the r t a fire weather pattern comes to an end. Weather and fuel conditions that are of major concern include minimum relative humidity equa l to or less than 15% , winds of 20 mph or higher and/ or gusts of 35 mph or higher. These watches and warnings are most likely to be posted during Santa Ana wind events where powerful, dry winds pummel Southern California. The National Weather Service defines Santa Anas as strong down-slope 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 in narrow passes, are usually warm and dry and can severely exacerbate brush or for-

Celebrate Recovery is a Christian church-based 12 step recover pro ram that s ﬁ e w th support for guests as well as established members. The theme of the event focused around celebrating the chainbreaker, Jesus Christ. The chains they describe mean bonds of anger issues, anxiety, pornography, gambling, drug addiction, alcoholism, codependency, violent behavior and more. In the Jesus Christ-based messages, comfort and hope are the focal points of their support program to break those chains. A Mexican food-themed dinner was served, featuring taq uitos, salad, guacamole, beans, carnitas and pollo. An array of sweets greeted members as the meeting came to a close. Piper Bell, Raelyn Sawtelle, Sarah Tucker and Savannah Bell, members of the Discipling Generations Y outh Ministry from Anza Baptist Church, served the vittles.

Combined with a warm, compression-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 epartments ha e n rease sta ing in recent years, but also need the public to remain vigilant. It is important to follow evacuation orers an ea e ear as ﬁres mo e very fast under these conditions. People need 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 tou h o a a e m t n ampfires to designated places and being on the lookout for suspicious behavior that could be arson related.

‘Our nation is in deep peril,’ 317 retired generals and admirals, say

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

What follows is an open letter to America warning that “our nation is in deep peril,” signed by 317 retired generals and admirals. ow ser ous e are n a ﬁ ht or our survival as a Constitutional Republic like no other time since our founding in 1776.” Who are the combatants? “The conflict is between supporters of Socialism and Marxism vs. supporters of Constitutional freedom and ert ea h eﬁn n the other as domestic terrorists. In this war of information this message will be censored or undermined by the largely socialist press thus not available to most Americans. Senior military leaders are in consensus that the 2020 election was the most important election since our country was founded. “With the Democrat Party welcoming Socialists and Marxists,

our historic way of life is at stake.” The letter follows: “Without fair and honest elections that accurately reflect the ‘ will of the people’ our Constitutional Republic is lost. Election integrity demands insuring there is one legal vote cast and counted per t en e a otes are ent ﬁe by State Legislature’s approved controls using government IDs, verified signatures, etc. Today, many are calling such commonsense controls ‘ racist’.… Using racial terms to suppress proof of eligibility is itself a tyrannical intimidation tactic…T he FBI and Supreme Court must act swiftly when election irregularities are surfaced and not ignore them as was done in 2020. Finally, H.R.1 & S.1, (if passed), would destroy election fairness and allow Democrats to forever remain in power violating our Constitution and ending our Representative Republic… . “The Current Administration has launched a full-blown assault on our Constitutional rights in a dictatorial manner, bypassing the Congress, with more than 5 0 Executive Orders q uickly signed, many reversing the previous Adminstrat on s e e t e po es an regulations. Moreover, population control actions such as excessive lockdowns, school and business closures, and most alarming, censorship of written and verbal expression are all direct assaults on our fundamental Rights. We must support and hold accountable politicians who will act to counter

Socialism, Marxism and Progressivism, support our Constitutional Republic, and insist on fiscally responsible governing … .” he m tar ent ﬁe e ht a tions that must change very soon to preserve liberty. “Open borders jeopardize national security by increasing human trafficking, drug cartels, terrorist sentry, health/ CV19 dangers, and humanitarian crises. e a s are oo n our ountr bringing high economic costs, crime, lowering wages, and illegal voting in some states. We must reestablish border controls and continue building the wall while supporting our dedicated border control personnel. Sovereign nations must have controlled borders. “China is the greatest external threat to America. Establishing cooperative relations with the Chinese Communist Party emboldens them to continue progress toward world domination, militarily, economically, politically and technologically… . he ree ow o n ormat on is critical to the security of our Republic, as illustrated by freedom of speech and the press being in the First Amendment of our Constitution. Censoring speech and expression, distorting speech, spreading disinformation by government o a s pr ate ent t es and the media is a method to suppress the ree ow o n ormat on a tyrannical techniq ue used in closed societies. We must counter this on all fronts beginning with removing Section 230 protection

from big tech. reen a n n the awe ran Nuclear Deal would result in Iran acqui ring nuclear weapons along with the means to deliver them, thereby upsetting Mideast peace initiatives and aiding a terrorist nation whose slogans and goals include ‘ death to America’ and ‘ death to Israel’ … . “Stopping the K eystone Pipeline eliminates our recently established energy independence and causes us to be energy dependent on nations not friendly to us, while eliminating valuable US jobs. We must open the K eystone Pipeline and regain our energy independence for national security and economic reasons. “Using the U.S. military as political pawns with thousands of troops deployed around the U.S. Capitol Building, patrolling fences guarding against a nonexistent threat, along with forcing Politically Correct policies like the divisive critical race theory into the military at the expense of the War Fighting Mission, seriously e ra es rea ness to ﬁ ht an w n our Nation’s wars, creating a major national security issue… . “The “Rule of Law” is fundamental to our Republic and security. Anarchy as seen in certain cities cannot be tolerated. We must support our law enforcement personnel and insist that DAs, our courts, and the DOJ enforce the law eq ually, fairly and consistently toward all. “The mental and physical condition of the Commander in Chief

cannot be ignored. He must be able to qui ckly make accurate national security decisions involving life and limb anywhere, day or night. Recent Democrat leadership’s inqui ries about nuclear code procedures sends a dangerous national security signal to nuclear armed adversaries, raising the q uestion about who is in charge… . “Under a Democrat Congress and the Current Administration, our Country has taken a hard left turn toward Socialism and a Marxist form of tyrannical government which must be countered now by electing congressional and presidential candidates who will always act to defend our Constitutional Republic. The survival of our Nation and its cherished freedoms, liberty, and historic values are at stake… .” The reason the military express such strong feelings on this subject is because they died on foreign soil defeating Socialist and Communists and are now forced to oppose them again on their own soil – America.
