Temecula lifeguard and water polo player Collin Crilly saves woman’s life Karen Ossenfort WRITER

Collin Crilly, a Chaparral High School water polo and lifeguard for the City of Temecula’s Aquatics Division, is being lauded as a hero after he saved the life of a woman Saturday, May 21.

The Chaparral Water Polo team traveled to a Huntington Beach Tournament that Saturday morning. They arrived and started warm up activities when Collin noticed a woman in distress in the pool.

“She was unconscious with no pulse and not breathing. Collin quickly jumped into action taking control of the scene and directing numerous bystanders. He grabbed a backboard and pulled her out of the water,” Nick Crilly said about his son in an interview with the Valley News.

“He initiated CPR, placed an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), instructed bystanders on mouth-to-mask ventilations and delivered one shock,” Nick said.

Huntington Beach Fire Department personnel arrived and took

over patient care and upon arrival at the hospital she was responsive and breathing on her own, Nick stated.

Huntington Beach Fire was contacted but could not comment on the event due to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act compliance.

Collin’s father, Nick Crilly, is himself an Engineer/Paramedic for the North County Fire Protection District. He said, “What makes this story so providential is that the day before, Collin practiced CPR skills in Mr. Rentar’s Kinesiology class at Chaparral High. The instructor gave Collin the assignment this last week to find three AED devices around the city.

“This helped Collin know exactly where to look around a pool in a city he had never been to in his life and equipped him with the skills and confidence to administer CPR to the patient,” his father said.

And what makes this even more providential is that the Chaparral Water Polo team was at the wrong see CRILLY, page A-6

Collin Crilly recently saved a woman’s life in a Huntington Beach pool.

He is a student at Chaparral High School, plays on the school’s water polo team and is a lifeguard with the City of Temecula and an Eagle Scout. His father, Nick Crilly, is an Engineer/Paramedic with North County Fire Protection District.

Being wildfire ready should be a way of life in Southern California Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

Charring 200 acres, destroying 20 homes and damaging another 11 as it tore through a Laguna Niguel neighborhood, the Coastal Fire serves as a reminder of how important it is for California residents to be wildfire ready.

The Coastal Fire, which began as a brush fire in Aliso Woods Canyon Wednesday, May 11, left a path of destruction in its wake. According to Los Angeles fire Chief Sam DiGiovanni, who spent much of his youth in Temecula Valley Wine Country.

“The winds can blow out there when we get those Santa Ana winds, and there is nothing out there but tinder dry brush,” DiGiovanni said. “I look at that and I think this is the next Sonoma/Napa fire waiting to happen.”

Wine country isn’t the only area at risk, DiGiovanni said. see WILDFIRES, page A-8

Menifee City Council gives final approval for the $86 million 20222023 fiscal year budget Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The Menifee City Council following many discussions, public workshops and staff input adopted the city’s $86.059,273 Fiscal Year budget with personnel additions to the police, fire and code enforcement departments to meet the growing city’s needs.

The unanimous approval of the new fiscal year budget also looked into keeping the city on track for a five year capital improvement plan with 25 of those improvement projects now underway or to be accomplished. The total budget included new housing and commercial projects, public safety and infrastructure fees (DIFs and CFDs), city investments and balance carryovers that is expected to bring another $43 million in expected revenues that will be invested and used over the next five or 10 years. The total city budget will total $129 million, depending upon future economic conditions.

Presenting in detail the proposed fiscal year budget were Rochelle Clayton, assistant city manager and financial analyst Margarita Cornejo. The proposed budget included the Quality of Life or

Measure DD budgets totaling $18,126 in revenues and expenditures spent mostly in the public safety departments.

Cornejo pointed out many city budgets have to allow for repairing or replacing its aging infrastructure, but not Menifee since it is a newer city. She said the current Menifee budget puts more emphasis on staff salaries and pension liabilities that allows for the increase of more staff positions. It will also continue to keep the city from having any unfunded liabilities like many other cities.

The approved fiscal year budget does allow for monetary increases to contracted agencies used by the city, including the services of Riverside County and Cal Fire who provide the city with fire services. The cost of the fire services contract increased by $3.8 million over last year, but the city will be getting another firefighter and paramedic this year and needed equipment. The city has its eyes on adding another fire station in the city soon. It will also include increases in the cost of police dispatch services shared with the neighboring city of Murrieta.

In adopting the 2022-2023 fiscal year budget, the council also

approved the GANN government spending limits and approved the Classification and Compensation Plan as the Authorized Position Listing.

The council, following the state’s mandated organic waste mandate, SB 1383, that will increase residents’ cost of $2.24 per household per month and the Memorandum of Understanding that allows the contracted Waste Management company a yearly cost of living increase. The council reluctantly approved the state’s mandated cost increase discussed the in the matter, but plans to help its senior population and low income families through a one-time special $50 assistance program.

Details of the program can be found on the city’s website. The cost of the program is placed in the city’s new budget. The adopted budget details, with charts and descriptions, can be found in the June 1, 2022 council meeting minutes that was live streamed. See www. cityofmenifee.us and on YouTube.

The planned Central Park Amphitheater Design, Engineering and Architectural Services by T.Y. Lin International agreement was amended to give the firm until May 31, 2023 to complete that

part of the project. The council urged the project be moved up as soon as possible, even before the new deadline. The actual proposed cost of the project will come to the council’s attention after the designs are finalized.

The council also directed the staff to provide the proposed “You Matter” collaboration one year to come up with a viable plan for the project. For several months, representatives from city and county social services agencies have been meeting to discuss how the city can fulfill its goal to make Menifee a healthier city for all of its residents.

The program would increase the residents’ knowledge of existing mental health resources and a network of support with trained ambassadors. The initial cost of creating the program was listed at $4,000.

Those agency representatives in discussions include Menifee Interfaith and Community Services Council, Menifee Community Services and the Police Department, Riverside University Health Systems, Mt. San Jacinto College, local school districts and local medical professionals.

The council, in its discussion

about the “You Matter” proposal, granted $4,000 to help but wanted to be certain it would not create a new city social services department and to continue the discussions for no more than one year.

The complete proposal will be brought back to the council when the plan is worked out.

Earlier in the evening the council praised the work of Walker Physical Therapy for providing helpful information about how the city’s residents can become healthier at various city events and in other programs. Walker Physical Therapy was placed in Menifee’s Business Spotlight for June and provided a 30-second video for use in its business.

In the Public Comments on non-agenda items several speakers appeared to voice their concerns about motorcycle riders illegally using the Salt Creek Trail and riverbed and a long-term homeless encampment with its people disturbing the local homeowners in a semi-hidden area at the end of East Drive near Goetz Road.

The council took the comments under advisement but could not immediately respond.

Soboba honors its fallen on Memorial Day Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Before Monday’s Memorial Day Flag Raising ceremony at the Soboba Reservation Cemetery, miniature flags were placed at the gravesites of veterans. At dawn, members of the Soboba Fire Department raised the American flag, located on the center flagpole behind the Veterans’ Memorial, to full staff and then slowly lowered it to half-staff to honor America’s fallen servicemen and women.

After a morning mass by Father Earl Henley at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, adjacent to the cemetery, Tribal members gathered at the shrine that is “dedicated to the memory of the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians and non-Tribal members who gave their all for us.”

Father Henley said the patriotic wreath that stood next to the shrine was “adorned with love, memories and our faith.” He offered a blessing and prayer for those veterans.

“With reverence we visit this shrine where their bodies were placed within the womb of the earth to await their final day of glory,” he said. “We pause in silence to be united with them. May the breath of creation that surrounds these graves, trees, grass, earth, birds and sun, join us in prayer.

May this pilgrimage remind us of what we already know: that nothing dies, rather life is transformed into new life.”

A roll call of the deceased veterans, most of which have been inscribed on the memorial, was read by Andy Silvas, director of

Andy Silvas, director of Soboba Parks and Recreation, pauses to reflect at the Soboba Veterans’ Memorial before the start of a Memorial Day ceremony Monday, May 30.

It was followed by the flag being raised to full staff once again in recognition of living military veterans who served their country.

Junie Helms, who served in the U.S. Navy from 1967-1973, did the honors. Then members of the Soboba Fire Department raised the state of California flag as well as the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians flag which all remained flying until sunset.

and thanked Tribal member Marian Chacon for her years of dedication to making sure this event happens each year.

Chacon’s mother and aunt began the official Memorial Day ceremony during World War II, after Maria Helms’ two sons were killed in action overseas in 1944. Chacon said she is probably related to more than half of the veterans honored at the event.

She was happy to see the Soboba Youth Council step up and take over the annual program because she said it “needs to keep going.”

Vivanco said it is important to give the rightful dedication to those that have fallen and all family members that served in the military.

“And thank you to those veterans that are here today who have served and helped protect the rights and freedoms that we enjoy today. We thank you,” he said.

About 50 guests attended the ceremony to pay tribute to family members who had died and to honor all those who had served our country. Norbit Arres served in the U.S. Navy during World War

II and three of his 10 children – Carlene, Millie and Vicky – were among those at the ceremony to honor his memory and that of many uncles and cousins who also served.

“We come each year for so many reasons,” Millie Arres said. “We miss them and we want to honor them for sacrificing their lives for all of us and for our country.”

Soboba Tribal Council Treasurer Daniel Valdez was there with members of his family. His grandparents, Bruce and Gloria Cozart, both served in the U.S. Air Force. Valdez named his son and daughter after them as he was very close to them growing up.

“I think it’s awesome to be able to honor them for their service,” he said.

Guests were invited to brunch at the Soboba Sports Complex after the ceremony and enjoyed eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, muffins, fresh fruit, juice and coffee from Thomas Catering of San Jacinto.

Alphabetically, honored veterans whose names were read during the roll call, were M.J.

Animals find healing, hope and heart at Temecula sanctuary

Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

When a broken animal finds its way to Sale Ranch Animal Sanctuary in Temecula, it is welcomed into the open arms of Jen Sale, founder and executive director of the ranch.

Celebrating its tenth year of farmed animal rescue and refuge work, the nonprofit has provided care and compassion to hundreds of horses, goats, sheep, cows, pigs, chickens and others.

“On average we have 85 to 100 animal residents,” Sale said. “We specialize in animals discarded by the food industry who need medical intervention to save their lives.

Once healthy, they have forever refuge in the safety of the ranch. We also offer hospice.”

Sale, who lives on the 10-acre property with her family, works on average 16 to 18 hours a day, seven days a week, to realize the organization’s mission to rescue, rehabilitate and educate on the animals’ behalf while promoting a cruelty-free lifestyle and “reducing our impact on the earth.”

“It’s a work of passion and the belief that we are serving a greater purpose,” Sale said.

Birth of a haven The family moved to the area from Orange County in 2011 to fulfill a dream to simplify, homestead and start a small horse rescue.

They welcomed their first resident Chance, a black mustang, Jan. 22, 2012, at a ranch they were renting.

“We began as horse rescue until we were called about newborn goat babies that were found in a dead pile. That phone call changed everything and why we have grown into the farmed animal sanctuary we are today,” she said.

The Sales have expanded the

nonprofit slowly during the past 10 years after purchasing their current property in the summer 2014.

“It was raw land without any utility and fit our dream so beautifully,” Sale said. “Being the first off-grid property in our area was challenging as we made our way through the county code requirements.”

There are currently about 60 volunteers and three employees. Sale hopes to reach 100 volunteers as more helping hands will be needed as plans for expansion materialize.

“We are always looking for volunteers and ask for a minimum commitment of three months,” she said. “Our volunteer program is unique and beautiful; you can learn more at http://www.saleranch.org/ volunteer.”

A decade of caring The biggest changes experienced in the past 10 years include the cost of care, which has skyrocketed in the past year.

“Our feed and medical bills have gone up 40-80%,” she said. “The abuse and those who need intervention is unending. In general, our society is disconnected with where their food comes from and what farmed animals are forced to endure; it’s truly gut wrenching.”

Sale admits that nonprofit work is a work of passion and definitely not something done for financial gain.

“I was an acute care nurse and my background has helped us in our mission,” she said. “This work is incredibly hard on many levels, physically, financially and emotionally. It is all consuming and requires a very strong support system. The highs are beautiful when a life is saved and devastating when one is lost too soon. The hot, long days of summer are hard as we work outside from sunup to well past sundown. I rarely leave the ranch

“when you are hungry, nothing else matters.”

so many of my relationships become one-sided.”

Yet, she feels incredibly blessed to serve and have the support she has. Her family and friends fully support her mission and her husband, Dave, is very involved as well.

Sale’s experience with horses and background in nursing has been of great benefit to the ranch. She has the skill to reassure incoming rescues who may be traumatized and provide preventive care to a range of animals which often reduces or eliminates large veterinary bills.

Cost of caring Donations and fundraisers help defray some of the operating expenses. Sale said the monthly base care, medicine, feed, shelter and therapies cost about $15,000 per month and that does not include any costs incurred for emergency intakes.

“Providing emergency medical care is incredibly costly,” she said.

“There are no hospitals who treat farmed animals near us. In fact, each state only has one for food production purposes and vet school. Our nearest hospital is UC Davis, nine hours away. Without our medical team, the animals have no chance.”

Financial obligations of running the ranch are not the only concerns Sale and her team regularly cope with, though.

“We belong to a network of online rescue groups where we share animals in need of rescue. We also receive requests for help just about every day through Facebook, email and by phone, but the number of farmed animals and senior horses in desperate situations outnumber available resources,” Sale said. “We wish that we could save them all, so deciding who is (to be saved) one of the hardest decisions that we make on almost a daily basis.”

Once an animal has been accepted after careful consideration of responsible factors, rehabilitation can begin. Although the ranch’s focus is on providing sanctuary, Sale and her staff do help network animals in need to other sanctuaries and vegan homes that have been thoroughly vetted.

“We have successfully assisted in placing over 300 animals during the last few years to other qualified locations in addition to those individuals we have offered refuge to here at the ranch,” she said.

Advocates for kindness The atmosphere at the ranch is one that is conducive to healing and rejuvenation and regularly opens its doors to youth who have experienced trauma from neglect, abandonment or abuse or come from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The sanctuary hosts open houses for the public a few times a year to introduce guests to the animals and share their rescue stories. Information is posted on its website events page. Small, private tours can be arranged for a $225 donation for not more than six guests who want to “hug a donkey, pet a horse, kiss a goat and give belly rubs to the piggies!” Currently these can be scheduled for Saturday or Monday morning by contacting the ranch.

Eager to educate and advocate, those at the ranch believe that every animal deserves respect and the right to live without fear. By bringing awareness to inhumane practices in the meat and dairy industries and the abundance of unwanted horses being live-shipped to slaughter, they hope to encourage plant-based alternatives and advocacy on behalf of those whose voices are often ignored.

“Regardless of species, we are all worthy of kindness and compas-

sion. Farmed animals are incredibly gentle, wise and kind individuals who share so many traits with us and our domestic pets such as dogs,” Sale said.

Community values And it’s not just four-legged animals that benefit from the existence of Sale Ranch and its dedicated staff. A half-acre garden helps feed the food insecure people in the area.

“It produces enough food to feed our animal residents daily and allows us to donate weekly to the Good Samaritan Food Pantry which serves shut-in seniors and cancer patients as well as veterans and those without homes,” Sale said. “We’ve donated over 300 pounds of freshly harvested produce to them in the last two months.”

Sale Ranch Animal Sanctuary will be hosting its sixth annual fundraising gala “An Enchanted Evening” Saturday, July 9, at the Winter White Barn in Temecula’s Wine Country. Tickets must be purchased in advance at http:// www.saleranch.org/gala-2022-anenchanted-evening.

A live auction will take place after a chef-curated four-course, plantbased, sit-down meal. Sale said the first annual gala was held in 2015 but was forced to be canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19.

“We locked down the ranch and suspended our volunteer program (during that time),” Sale said. “Like most nonprofits, we lost donations as folks were not working but we actually fared pretty well. Our core team of three employees and my family were able to run the ranch and care for our residents without skipping a beat; we just worked extra-long days.”

Sale said this year’s gala will feature live music, world-famous speed painter Amy Burkman plus live and silent auctions. The goal is to raise enough funds from the gala to purchase adjoining acreage.

“We are trying to purchase 30 acres in total but first we are looking at the 10 acres next door,” Sale said.

“Our hope is to expand animal pastures and our garden for community food production. Then we’d like to build additional pastures, an education center and lodging for pre-vet med interns and regenerative agriculture programs onto the additional 20 acres currently available.”

Sale said another challenge is gaining local support since many in the community are not aware of the ranch’s life-changing work. Representatives use local venues such as Thistle and Sage at Vail Ranch, Starlight Bazaar in Old Town and membership in the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce to help spread the word.

“Sale Ranch is a magical place where the happiest of ever afters and friendship live,” Sale said.

“Being a part of an animal’s journey from arriving broken and dying to healed and healthy is such an honor.

Besides raising my own human children, it is the most rewarding and important thing I’ve done. I am so incredibly grateful to serve the animals, our community and share the power of kindness with many.”

Menifee debuts newly renovated Lazy Creek Recreation Center MENIFEE – Menifee officials joined with representatives from Sen. Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh and Assemblyman Kelly Seyarto and the greater Menifee community Tuesday, May 31, to celebrate the ribbon cutting of the Lazy Creek Recreation Center. The grand opening ceremony coincided with the Tiny Tots and Little Learners Graduation, two of the many youth programs currently hosted at the newly remodeled facility.

Improvements at the Lazy Creek Recreation Center include a renovated teen center, expanded patio, park restrooms and a new building comprising two multipurpose rooms and a serving area. This combination of new and renovated

spaces will provide the Tiny Tots/ Little Learners, After School program, Youth Leaders of Menifee Teen programs and Summer Camps with more space to expand their imaginations and creativity.

“The city of Menifee is committed to providing high-quality youth programs that will engage and inspire the future leaders of our community,” Menifee Mayor Bill Zimmerman said. “The new and improved Lazy Creek Recreation Center will not only allow us to better deliver these programs, but the added capacity will allow for even more participation.”

In addition to the grand opening ceremony, the Community Services Department hosted an Open

The additional classroom space provided by the expansion of the Lazy Creek Recreation Center will be utilized for preschool programs run through Menifee’s Community Services Department.

Private investigator Tony Campbell finds lost loved ones Karen M. Ossenfort STAFF WRITER

There is never a dull moment in Anthony Campbell’s life. The licensed private investigator searches every day for someone or something throughout California and Mexico. It could be to help solve a homicide, provide high risk process serving, follow a cheating spouse or find lost loved ones.

Recently, Campbell worked to locate a father’s missing daughter after 36 years. Dennis McCarthy had not seen his daughter since she was 4 years old, Campbell explained.

“I stopped at Rainbow Oaks for gas one day, and someone there told this older guy that I was a PI,” Campbell said. “He started talking to me telling me he hadn’t seen his daughter since she was 4.”

After a painful split with Shannon’s mother, McCarthy took off and came to San Diego where he found success in the car and boat building and racing industry, Campbell said.

“I got the information and attempted to find her. It was very difficult with the information provided. It took me a week and a half before I made contact with the daughter in the state of Florida,” Campbell said.

When he called, the daughter answered and he said she was so overwhelmed she couldn’t talk, but she did say she had been looking for her father for 30 years.

While they were talking on the phone her husband was checking out AC Investigations online and vetted him as the real deal.

The daughter, Shannon, called her father, and made a recent trip out to reunite with him.

“One of the most beautiful things in this case is that Dennis showed me a 1957 wooden speed boat he refurbished decades ago, and named it “Shannon,” Campbell said, adding that Shannon had always been on her father’s heart.

Campbell’s family came from a rough Long Beach neighborhood

and moved to Fallbrook where he went to school, Shannon learned.

“I grew up in Fallbrook and on the Pala and Rincon Indian Reservations. Campbell said, “I grew up in diverse neighborhoods, and it was my normal. I grew my hair long and was poor, and the Indian kids had long hair and were poor at that time. We got along well. It was a challenge being accepted, but after 40 years it works. I love it here.”

“My family was pretty rough.

Some of my family was involved in the Hell’s Angels. You’d see 30 to 40 of them roaring down my neighborhood. It was quite a sight.”

Campbell believes his tough upbringing helps him in his present work and taught him “street smarts.” He’ll venture into some pretty tough neighborhoods, including whatever it takes, to get the job done.

After high school, he took jobs in Tribal Law Enforcement on Pala, Rincon and La Jolla Indian Reservations. Campbell practiced private investigations under other companies from 1997 to 2014 when he earned his private investigator license from the state of California. He’s lived between Fallbrook and the reservations for the last 48 years. “I couldn’t be happier,” he said.

Work comes his way through word of mouth, attorneys, and the marketing he does through Village and Valley News, Yelp, Google and Facebook.

He counts as his greatest success when he brings loved ones together.

Not all of his cases have a happy ending. A recent case involved a missing male tribal member who had been missing more than six years from Pala Reservation.

Campbell knew going in that the missing man had a heroin and methamphetamine addiction and had signs of mental illness. Initially he met with the man’s family, tribal council and members, law enforcement, and detectives.

The case was a hard one and not

trash cans,” Campbell said. “He had $1 million in the bank from Casino money over the years and didn’t know it. That is how far out he was, didn’t even know he had money.”

Campbell was then able to inform the detectives stateside that the missing man, Joe, was alive in Tijuana.

Asked how he detaches from such heartbreaking tragedies, he said, ”As I speak it I’m still living it.”

Though he’s good at finding people, he’s seen things the average man hasn’t even imagined.

Another recent investigation involved a client from out of state

who reached out to Campbell to find their daughter who had been enticed away at 16 years old and taken from the state of Texas.

Campbell was able to track, surveil and locate the young lady in Hollywood. She was with a 45-year-old director in the pornography business.

Unfortunately, when she was approached she chose to stay, but at least the parents had some peace that she was located.

If you need his services in finding someone or something, Anthony Campbell can be reached online at acinvestigation.com, by email at acinvestigations@icould. com or by text at 760-828-1423.

Anthony “Tony” Campbell

many U.S. leads were coming in, Campbell said.

“Because I’m a private investigator, I could put more into the case because I’m investigating that one case, whereas the detectives and law enforcement were investigating many, like 100s of cases,” Campbell said.

When leads dried up stateside, Campbell focused on Tijuana, Mexico, and took work partners and interpreters with him to start the search across the border.

Campbell related a gritty, sordid story of running into lewd acts, engrossed druggies and alcoholics in the canal and houses of ill repute in Tijuana.

Finally in 2018, while walking the streets in Tijuana he came across a homeless shelter and showed a poster of the missing man. One man came forward. He said the man told him he knew ”El Indio.”

It was the son of a father who used to date the missing man’s sister, who recognized the man in Campbell’s flier, “I know Joe very well,” the man told Campbell.

“My witness who saw my subject stated that (Joe) looked mentally ill and was going through

LOCAL WILDFIRES from page A-1 Vegetation throughout the area is bone-dry after an unusually dry winter leaving just under 60% of the state in extreme drought.

“The Coastal Fire we just had, to have a fire where it’s 72 degrees out, 52% humidity, we were just blown away,” he said. “That’s just how low the fuel moisture content is right now. The day it happened it was a cool brisk day with a nice ocean breeze and the coastal slopes have a higher fuel moisture content because of the fog and the drizzle they get along the coast.”

As the risk of wildfires grows, it is important to be wildfire ready and everything from creating defensible space around a home to creating a wildfire action plan, including plans for evacuation can help residents be ready should a wildfire occur, DiGiovanni said.

“Now is the time to prepare, and if people haven’t prepared, they are behind the curve right now,” DiGiovanni said. “The more inland you get, the higher the risk.”

A good place to start is at the website, http://www.readyforwildfire.org, where readers can download Cal Fire’s Ready for Wildfire app. The app includes checklists with steps for everything from defensible space to evacuation plans, wildfire texts and push notifications and a fire map showing all active fires within the area.

Defensible Space According to Cal Fire, in January 2005, a state law became effective that extended the defensible space clearance around homes and structures from 30 feet to 100 feet.

“Proper clearance to 100 feet dramatically increases the chance of your house surviving a wildfire,” Cal Fire said. “This defensible space also provides for firefighter safety when protecting homes during a wildland fire.”

According to Cal Fire, the most important thing people can do is to obey this law when it comes to defensible space.

“Law requires that homeowners in SRA clear out flammable materials such as brush or vegetation around their buildings to 100 feet (or the property line) to create a defensible space buffer. This helps halt the progress of an approaching wildfire and keeps firefighters safe

while they defend your home,” according to the website.

Defensible space is defined as the property’s front line of defense against wildfire. Creating and maintaining defensible space around a home can dramatically increase a home’s chance of surviving a wildfire and improves the safety of firefighters.

Defensible space is divided up into two zones. Zone 1 should be 30 feet of “Lean, Clean & Green” area.

Residents should remove all dead plants, grass and weeds as well as dead or dry leaves and pine needles from the yard, roof and rain gutters.

Branches should be a minimum of 10 feet away from chimneys and other trees.

Zone 2 focuses on 30 to 100 feet of reduced fuel. In this zone, residents should cut or mow annual grass down to a maximum height of 4 inches and create horizontal and vertical spacing between shrubs and trees. Residents should also create vertical spacing between grass, shrubs and trees.

Cal Fire also recommended homeowners check with their local fire station about laws since many local jurisdictions may have more stringent requirements. For example, in San Diego County, the first and second zones in defensible space are 50 feet and 50 feet, while elsewhere it’s 30 feet and 70 feet.

Other tips include mowing before 10 a.m. and never on a hot or windy day. Weed eaters or other string trimmers are always a safer option than lawnmowers for clearing vegetation.

Evacuation Creating a Wildfire Action Plan will help to keep residents prepared in the event they are evacuated due to a wildfire or any emergency that requires such action. This plan should be familiar to everyone within the household and should include a designated emergency meeting area, several different escape routes and information to evacuate pets and large animals such as horses and other livestock.

Be sure to practice those evacuation routes so everyone is familiar in the event of an emergency.

Designate an out-of-area friend or family member as a point of contact for family members should they become separated.

Have fire extinguishers on hand

Defensible space works!

Defensible space is the required space between a structure and the wildland area that, under normal conditions, creates a sufficient buffer to slow or halt the spread of wildfire to a structure. It protects the home from igniting due to direct flame or radiant heat. Defensible space is essential for structure survivability during wildfire conditions and for the protection to firefighters defending your home.

Homeowners can minimize the chance of fire jumping from plant to plant or other non-vegetative combustible, by removing dead material and removing, separating and/or thinning vegetation.

The minimum spacing between vegetation is three times the dimension of the plant or other nonvegetative combustible.

Zone One extends 30 feet out from buildings, structures, decks, etc.

• Remove all dead or dying vegetation.

• Trim tree canopies regularly to keep their branches a minimum of 10 feet from structures and other trees. Remove leaf litter, such as dry leaves/pine needles, from yard, roof and rain gutters.

• Relocate wood piles or other combustible materials into Zone Two. • Remove combustible material and vegetation from around and under decks.

• Remove or prune vegetation near windows.

• Remove “ladder fuels” – low-level vegetation that allows the fire to spread from the ground to the tree canopy. Create a separation between low-level vegetation and non-vegetative materials such as patio furniture, wood piles, swing set, etc., from tree branches. It can be done by reducing the height of low-level vegetation and/or trimming low tree branches.

Zone Two extends 30 to 100 feet out from buildings, structures and decks.

• • • •

Remove “ladder fuels.”

Cut or mow annual grass down to a maximum height of 4 inches.

Trim tree canopies regularly to keep their branches a minimum of 10 feet from other trees.

Loose surface litter, normally consisting of fallen leaves or needles, twigs, bark, cones and small branches, shall be permitted to a depth of 3 inches if erosion control is an issue.

and make sure everyone knows how to use them and ensure that everyone in the family knows where the shut-off controls in the home are for gas, electric and water and how to shut them down in an emergency.

Assemble an emergency supply kit for each person and maintain a list of emergency contact numbers posted near the phone and in the emergency supply kit.

Keep an extra emergency supply kit in the car in the event that the home cannot be accessed because of fire or other emergency.

Emergency supply kits should contain a three-day supply of nonperishable food and 3 gallons of water per person, a map marked with at least two evacuation routes, prescriptions or special medications, change of clothing, extra eyeglasses or contact lenses, an extra set of car keys, credit cards, cash or traveler’s checks, first-aid kit, flashlight, battery-powered radio and extra batteries, sanitation supplies and copies of important documents such as birth certificates, passports, etc. Don’t forget food and water for any pets that will also need to be evacuated.

If time allows, take easily carried valuables, family photos and other irreplaceable items, personal computer information on hard drives and discs and chargers for cell phones, laptops or other electronic items.

Cal Fire also recommended keeping a sturdy pair of shoes and a flashlight near the bed and handy in case of a sudden evacuation at night. It is also good to keep a portable radio or scanner handy to

stay updated on the fire.

Planning sheets can be downloaded from http://www.readyforwildfire.org.

When to evacuate Leave as soon as evacuation is recommended by fire officials to avoid being caught in fire, smoke or road congestion. Don’t wait to be ordered by authorities to leave.

Evacuating the forest fire area early also helps firefighters keep roads clear of congestion and lets them move more freely to do their job.

In an intense wildfire, they will not have time to knock on every door. When advised to leave, don’t hesitate.

The terms “Voluntary” and “Mandatory” are used to describe evacuation orders; however, local jurisdictions may use other terminology such as “Precautionary” and “Immediate Threat.” These terms are used to alert residents to the significance of the danger. All evacuation instructions provided by officials should be followed immediately for residents’ safety.

Do not return to the home until fire officials determine it is safe.

Notification that it is safe to return home will be given as soon as possible considering safety and accessibility.

One final note on evacuation: when told to evacuate, evacuate.

Trying to save property or sheltering in place is a foolish risk that no one should take. Remember, things can be replaced, people can’t.

Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival returns with record-breaking numbers Ava Sarnowski VALLEY NEWS INTERN

The Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival returned this year with a record-breaking number of attendees during the three-day event, June 3-5. Through the combined efforts of the City of Temecula, Toyota, various wineries and other notable sponsors, the festival was deemed a success. For 39 years the festival has entertained patrons with high-quality wine and beer from local wineries and breweries, balloon rides and lift-offs and performances from some known names in the music industry.

Lake Skinner, the location of the festival, was complemented by blue skies and warm sun for all three days of the festival. The event was attended by a massive crowd that reached thousands, consisting of families and

all kinds of folks looking to have an enjoyable time. Guests could also camp near the event and bring in RVs to stay comfortably overnight.

Cal Fire and Riverside County Sheriff’s Department were present on the grounds to serve and protect attendees of the festival.

Guests were given the chance to taste test different wines and explore beer gardens. A number of establishments participated with the festival to provide alcoholic beverages for folks to try. Europa Village, Altísima Winery, Coyote Oaks Winery, Aftershock Brewing Co, 8Bit Brewing Co. and Craft Brewing Company, as well as countless others each brought many varieties of wine and beer.

Both international and local food was readily available to eat as the festival housed a sea of outdoor vendors and boutiques which guests

could explore. Vendors were selling an eclectic variety of products.

There were pillows, shirts, banners, spices, jewelry and candles. A little bit of everything could be found and purchased.

The festivities did not stop there as the festival also offered attendees the chance to experience balloon rides and lift-offs. Guests were able to buy an early morning balloon ride where they calmly drifted above Lake Skinner and some of Temecula’s beloved vineyards.

Visitors were also given the chance to watch 50 hot-air balloons taking flight introducing themselves to the thrill of balloon riding with a tethered balloon.

Topping off the festivities was the Balloon Glow Friday night, which could only be viewed after sunset.

The balloons are inflated by propane burners, and the light glowing from

within brightly illuminated them.

Bringing everything together were this year’s lineup of musicians.

The festival grounds had two designated stages, the Sweet Oaks Wine stage and the Pala Casino Main Stage. Across all three days of the event, different musicians performed on both stages.

The musicians seen on the Pala Casino stage included Hunter Hayes, Kanan Road, Coffey Anderson, Kasey Tyndall, Chayce Beckham, Laci Kaye Booth and Payton Howie.

While those performing on the Sweet Oaks Stage included We Belong, Kali Arcaris, Kelsey Bridges, Westward Sons, A Lens To The Sun, Totally Go-Go’s, The Storytellers, Ronstadt Revival, Bryan Lanning and Natty Prophets.

The American Patriot Band played on two occasions. International rock superstar Bret Michaels, the lead-

ing frontman of the band Poison, headlined this year and performed to a crowd that was enthralled by his stage presence. His performance emphasized many of his classic rock hits from the 80s, bringing with him a high energy that burned as radiantly as the balloons.

Movie Review: ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Bob Garver SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

I watched the original “Top Gun” from 1986 to prepare for “Top Gun: Maverick.” The aerial stunt work and action sequences were impressive, but like many 80s movies, it fell into the trap of having a smarmy protagonist in Tom Cruise’s Pete “Maverick” Mitchell. I was particularly skeezed out by a scene where he blatantly overstepped a boundary by following prospective love interest Charlie, played by Kelly McGillis, into a ladies’ room to hit on her. Fortunately, Maverick is much better-behaved in the new movie, at least around women. He still gives his superiors headaches with his against-protocol flying style, but he’s done enough growing up in the last 36 years that I can properly root for him now.

The new film opens with Maverick saving a manned Navy flying program from a drone advocate, played by Ed Harris, by pushing a prototype plane to Mach 10. The flight is totally reckless and the plane is destroyed, but all Maverick had to do was get it to Mach 10 in the first place, so it counts as a win. The bureaucrat wants to ground Maverick permanently over the stunt, but the hero is instead transferred to the Top Gun flight academy in California, where he is to instruct an elite group of pilots on how to take out a secret weapons arsenal on dangerous foreign soil. The exact country is unspecified, probably for the best.

The assignment is a tricky one for Maverick, because even though he requested to become a Top Gun instructor at the end of the first film, his stint didn’t go well and he didn’t last two months. But he understands the importance of the mission, so he teaches the young pilots the only way he knows how: by breaking all the rules, much to the consternation of his superiors, played by Jon Hamm and Charles Parnell. Never one to go too long without a lover, Maverick also reconnects with old girlfriend Penny, played by Jennifer Connelly. He’s still a bit unsure of himself, and needs some words of encouragement from old friend Iceman, played by Val Kilmer, in a performance that sadly reflects the actor’s real-life health.

The new pilots include Hang-

man, played by Glen Powell; Bob, played by Lewis Pullman; Phoenix, played by Monica Barbaro; Payback, played by Jay Ellis, and Fanboy, played by Danny Ramirez.

Then there’s Rooster, played by Miles Teller, the son of Maverick’s late former partner Goose, played by Anthony Edwards. To say Rooster resents Maverick is an understatement, not so much for the death itself, but for Maverick deliberately setting his career back with well-intentioned motivations.

But it adds a layer of tension to an already tense mission. I would have switched a few characters around for the climactic mission, but the movie is set on a certain direction.

As always, the flying stunts are all top-notch. Cruise, as is his trademark, insisted on doing many stunts himself, and he definitely put himself through the ringer here, as did the other actors. I’m sure their motivation was that they didn’t want the… “more seasoned” Cruise showing them up. I’m not sure how wise it was to subject themselves to so much

motion sickness and pressurization issues, but I have to admit, their eyes are rolling back in their heads just right.

The story of “Top Gun: Maverick” isn’t going to break any new ground. An unconventional instructor plays by his own rules, but at the end of the day cares deeply about completing the mission and protecting his students.

He’s ordered to leave one behind at one point, but we all know there is zero chance that Maverick will obey that order. The likable characters and exciting action sequences make “Top Gun: Maverick” the epitome of a crowd-pleasing summer blockbuster. Spring for premium tickets in an IMAX/Dolby/ Prime theater if you can, as it is the perfect time to make sure a movie is big and loud.

Grade: B“Top Gun: Maverick” is rated PG-13 for sequences of intense action and some strong language.

Its running time is 131 minutes.

Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

As hard as it is to accept, I have been forced to conclude, the ole gal ain’t what she used to be. The result being, I cannot possibly get to as many shows as I have in the past.

And now, it is not an excuse but a blunder on the theater’s website – and, yes, I shouldn’t have waited to the last minute, but it was Donut Sunday when the 6 and 8-year-old grandchildren were here, plus I was still reeling from the departure of my 8-month-old-twins, greatgrandbaby boys – and it wasn’t until we were driving around through the Poway hills that my husband and I realized we had the wrong address and Google was no help at all.

My destination was the Scripps Ranch Theatre to review “I Hate Hamlet” Sunday, May 29. It was directed by local funny man Phil Johnson.

As it happened, my husband and I both looked at the website 30 minutes before we were to leave and come up with the only address available at first glance on Scripps Poway Parkway. Well, it is the theater’s mailing address, but the theater is located on the Alliant International University’s campus at 9783 Avenue of Nations, right off Pomerado Road.

By the time we realized our error and when the car clock rolled over to 2:01 p.m., I was stuck knowing I could not arrive until after curtain time. I did my best, however, to see this production after returning from Mexico June 6. Mea culpa.

Meanwhile closer to home at the Brooks Theater, the Oceanside Theatre Company working with Teatro San Diego previewed “Sons for a New World” June 3-5, with opening night set for Friday, June 10, and running until Sunday, June 26. For more information, visit http://www.oceansidetheatrecompany.org or call for tickets at 760433-8900. The Brooks Theater is at 217 North Coast Highway in Oceanside.

The Temecula Valley Players opened the doors Friday, June 3, with “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater.

It was written by two of Broadway’s most sought-after wordsmiths Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart, who is best remembered for writing M.A.S.H., and it was the first time Stephen Sondheim wrote both the lyrics and music for a show. He earned a Tony Award for Best Musical and never looked back.

Director Teri Miller Schmidt has been true to the original script since 1962; therefore, do not show up and judge the content or the players for the circumstances because nothing is sacred. There are slaves, pimps and prostitutes called courtesans, there are physical and verbal innuendo, crossdressing and double-takes all

NEWS for your city TEMECULA MURRIETA

laced with a sprinkling of the old Vaudevillian broad humor with leanings toward the lewd. After all, this Broadway show was never intended for children.

Keep in mind the show is for mature audiences. It is only right to forewarn parents as it is not a family show and was written well before sensitivity training was a thing. This work is for a broadminded, sophisticated audience.

That said, open your mind and relax. It is just silly. By now don’t we all need a big dose of adult humor?

Producer Patti Drew’s assurance is the cast will fulfill their jobs. You will be entertained. Now read on.

If you are familiar with the raucous movie “Animal House” from 1978, John Belushi singlehandedly reinvented the toga-clad Bacchanal as an homage to “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.”

The similarities are apparent. “A Funny Thing…” opened on Broadway May 8, 1962, and “Animal House,” while decades later, is set in 1962 at the fictitious fraternity housed on Faber College. This particular fraternity is filled with raucous, disorderly, miscreants where nothing is hallowed. Again, before sensitivity training.

Although neither show received warm reviews at first, they have since each found their audiences and both have endured to this day.

It is my surmise that Shevelove and Gelbart were desperate because they reached all the way back to 184 BC for their inspiration. They chose to reimagine ideas by the master of Roman farce, Plautus in 254-184 BC. Written with the same flare as a convoluted Shakespearean comedy, “A Funny Thing…” is filled with misdirection, double entendre, and in the fewest words possible, it is about: “A con-man slave, aided by the chief slave, who fake a courtesan’s funeral to save her from her pimp in ancient Rome.”

The household characters include Pseudolus, played by Thomas Fisk, a household slave owned by his master Hero who is the son of Senex, played by Kit Fortier and Senex’s wife, Domina, played by Sonia Watson.

Scheming for freedom, Pseudolus plays matchmaker for Hero, played by Cole Harvey, who aches for the lovely Phila, played by Ava Samowski, who oddly enough lives next-door to Hero with her pimp Marcus Lycus, played by Peter Varvel, who has promised the virgin-courtesan-in-training to a captain in the Roman legion, Miles Gloriosus, played by Jared Kramarsky.

Aided by the chief slave of the household Hysterium, played by Rossi Smith, who is persuaded to assist in the complicated plan that results in blackmail and disguise, but oddly enough leads to the recovery of Erronius’s, played by Kevin Alcott, long-lost twins who were stolen long ago by pirates.

Young San Jacinto artists recognized for their talent

Winning artwork from this year’s Stephen Talley Art Enrichment Program competition is on display at the San Jacinto Unified School District’s board room.

Valley News/Diane A. Rhodes photos

Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

There were 75 entries in the Stephen Talley Art Enrichment Program competition for students who attend schools within the San Jacinto Unified School District.

Eight judges reviewed artwork that was divided into four different grade levels and made their top 15 picks. The categories were preschool through first grade, 2-5 grade, 6-8 grade and 9-12 grade.

Each winner received a $25 gift card to purchase art supplies and will have the honor of their work being displayed in the district office’s board room for one year.

Teachers of the winning students are also given a $100 gift card to purchase art supplies for their classrooms.

The San Jacinto Education Foundation first began the student artist recognition program in December 2008, with the help of longtime San Jacinto High School art teacher and Foundation member, Stephen “Steve” Talley. In 2011, the program was renamed to reflect his contributions. Talley died in October 2015.

Talley began to be recognized professionally for his own artistic talents at the age of 11. He spent more than 40 years developing a diversity in technique and mediums that earned him more than 100 awards in various competitions, mainly first place or Best in Show awards. Aside from his 32-year career at the high school, he also taught painting at the Art Academy of Los Angeles and was a much sought-after judge, lecturer and demonstrator throughout the country.

“We are very proud of all the students involved in this year’s competition,” Foundation President Jerry Peebles said, during the May 12 SJUSD school board meeting. “We want to keep the tradition of Steve going. I consider him to be one of the greatest art teachers in the United States. He had this ability to connect to kids that would bring out the best in

them. He was just amazing.”

Hemet artist Alison Wieman judged this year’s competition for a second time and said there were many more entries compared to last year. She taught special and general education in Hemet for 20 years before retiring and said her evolving art style includes painting in oils, pastel and plein air. She is on the board of the Hemet Valley Art Association and is a member of the Art Alliance of Idyllwild. She also teaches “Paint and Sip” classes in her community.

She found it interesting that the quality of work varied from last year and she attributes this to the importance of art education in the schools.

“Last year’s entries had been done at home (due to COVID),” Wieman said. “Although the talent was evident, the work submitted this year was presented in a more finished way. Knowing how to use the various mediums and having the opportunity to experiment and learn can only be a possibility in the school setting, for some students.”

She loved the variety of styles represented by this year’s entrants.

“As an artist, I had the experience to know what was required to execute a piece. When two pieces were both striking, I consider which required the greatest skill,” Wieman said. “The most difficult thing about being a judge, especially when children are involved, is that I don’t want to discourage anyone. Art is such a subjective subject.”

She said by regularly showing her own art she knows winning a competition has a lot to do with a judge’s personal preference.

“I truly tried to take the developmental stage of a preschooler’s art into consideration when comparing it to that of a kindergarten or first-grade artist,” Wieman said.

“At the upper level, I was looking more at subject matter and skill. I took composition and presentation more into consideration.”

This year’s winners of the 2021-

Several of the 15 winners from this year’s art contest are displayed at the district’s board room.

All 15 winners of the Stephen Talley Art Enrichment Program will be displayed for one year at the SJUSD board room.

2022 Stephen Talley Art Enrichment Program were Penelope Cadena and Jade Rodriguez, preschool; Donovin Bato Quichocho, kindergarten; Johan Rivas, third grade; Jonathan Jara Gomez, fourth grade; Cali Harley, Aria Hanson and Allison T. Elizondo, fifth grade; Jazmyne Ramirez, sixth grade; Shelby Dummert and Aiden Felix, seventh grade; McKenzie Smith, eighth grade; Jazmin Alvarez, Irlanda Corona Franco and Aro Rodriguez, 11th grade.

“We had an outstanding group of art works that will represent what Steve Talley would want kids to be doing,” Peebles said.

“The works showcase all different types of art with unique perspec-

tives from each artist. The display well represents the best artists in our district. Steve’s brothers, Dennis and Joe, fully support our program.”

The San Jacinto Education Foundation, founded in 2000, is an organization of committed community leaders who are dedicated to improving educational opportunities, including the academic, artistic, vocational and athletic needs of the students in the San Jacinto Unified School District.

In addition to the art program, the organization provides teachers with mini grants to implement classroom projects, inducts students into the Visual & Performing Arts Hall of Fame, offers scholar-

ships and hosts an annual recognition reception to honor teachers.

It has been a platinum sponsor of the Hemet/San Jacinto Student of the Month Program since it began. The group also partners with the San Jacinto Alumni Association, which is open to any former students who would like to join. In collaboration, the two organizations are responsible for the Edward Hyatt Athletic Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

Funding is provided through endowments, gifts, donations and fundraisers. For more information, contact President Jerry Peebles at jpeebles@soboba-nsn.gov or visit http://www.sanjacinto.k12.ca.us.

D.A.R. Luiseño Chapter presents the story of Silas Alden

TEMECULA – The Daughters of the American Revolution, Luiseño Chapter, will present the story of Silas Alden, direct ancestor of a Luiseño Chapter member residing in Temecula.

America250 Foundation is proud “to partner with the Daughters of the American Revolution, its chapters and members in support of the largest 1776 commemoration in U.S. history,” Joe Daniels, CEO of America250 Foundation, said.

Part of commemorating America250 is connecting to the past to inspire the future, and Temecula D.A.R. chapter – Luiseño Chapter – embraces American history, sharing it with the public. Just as the people and communities that make up America are many and varied, so are our histories.

At the local chapter level, D.A.R. members have been asked to share patriots’ stories with the public. “Patriots” is a term which DAR members use to identify the men and women who achieved American Independence during the Revolutionary War from April 19, 1775 to Sept. 3, 1783. Many American citizens know George Washington and Thomas Jefferson; however, few Americans know the individual men and women who left their farms, their businesses and their families to fight in the Revolutionary War. Born Oct. 23, 1736, Silas Alden was the fifth child of the 11 children born to John Alden and

Thankful Parker of Needham, Province of Massachusetts. Silas’ grandfather, Henry Alden, was one of the signers of the 1710 petition to incorporate Needham as a new town. Silas published his intent to marry Margaret Capron April 10, 1760, at Attleboro, which is about 30 miles from Needham via freeway, but in 1760 it was quite a long journey.

Silas and Margaret Alden made their new home in Needham and lived there for over 60 years. They had 12 children: Moses, Elizabeth, Amasa, Silas, Paul, Lydia, Amasa (No. 2), Rebecca, Mercy or Marcy, Simeon, Samuel and George.

Did you notice there are two sons named Amasa? A common naming tradition of the 17th and 18th centuries occurred when a child died early in their life, and the next child born of the same gender was named the same name.

Amasa No. 1 died very young, and the next son born to Margaret and Silas Alden was named Amasa.

Silas Alden was nearly 40 years old when he first served in the Revolutionary War. He served 14 days as an ensign in Capt. Robert Smith’s company, Col. William Heath’s regiment on the alarm of April 19, 1775. He served four days at the taking of Dorchester Heights in March 1776 as a lieutenant in Smith’s company. He served 20 days at Hull and Castle Island in Capt. Thomas Mayo Jr.’s company, Col. Eleazer Weld’s regiment during December 1776.

During March and April 1778, he served 15 days on the march to Roxbury, Massachusetts, in Capt.

Ebenezer Battle’s company, Col. McIntosh’s regiment. At one point during his service, he was a second lieutenant. His service during the war is detailed in Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary Way. In Old Needham, nicknames were a form of social commentary, and Silas was known as “Old Growl.” History doesn’t record if he was a crotchety old man, but Silas Aldem was described as being stout, of medium height and, as was the custom of the day, wore side whiskers.

He also served his town of Needham including surveyor of highways, fence viewer and committee person to investigate town finances. He was an active member of the First Parish Church in Needham where he held different offices – treasurer, collector and deacon until his death Feb. 22, 1826.

Stanford expert psychologist explains PTSD Shelby Ramsey SPECIAL TO THE VILLAGE NEWS

Most people are familiar with post-traumatic stress disorder, but what many people may not know is that a significant number of those affected with the condition have not sought help. Not only have they not reached out for help but may be undermining their wellbeing by trying to self-medicate.

To discuss this subject, I am pleased to introduce clinical psychologist Debra Kaysen, Ph.D, and professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences of public mental health and population sciences at Stanford University.

Kaysen is well-published and active in research in the areas of the overlap between post-traumatic stress disorder and alcohol use disorders and accessible interventions for individuals suffering from mental health symptoms following traumatic events. Her research has taken place across a variety of populations, including sexual assault survivors, torture survivors, active duty military personnel and more.

Dedicated to her work both at Stanford and clinically, Kaysen’s passion for her field is recognized with the utmost clarity. Throughout our conversation she said, “I love providing therapies for people.”

“Part of why I do it is because you can see people make these tremendous changes and you can see that moment in therapy where someone has been carrying this burden and they put it down,” Kaysen said. “It is unbelievably rewarding.”

Post-traumatic stress disorder is first and foremost a condition created by “having gone through a traumatic event.” Kaysen said it is important to understand that there is big “T” trauma and little “t” trauma.

As daily events occur in their lives, the term “trauma” may be loosely used at times to describe various concerning, disturbing or upsetting occurrences.

“People can have all kinds of horrible things happen in their lives,” Kaysen said.

She explained the differences between big “T” trauma and little “t” trauma.

Big “T” trauma First, she described big “T” trauma.

“Are more the types of events where there is a loss of life that’s sudden or unexpected, where there is a threat to someone’s bodily integrity. So you can think about more events like a very severe car accident, combat, a physical or sexual assault,” she said.

One of the key aspects of the trauma is “something you need to have experienced yourself or witnessed.”

Kaysen said it’s unlikely to have post-traumatic stress disorder from watching terrible videos online. The common exception is “for our military personnel, there are folks who, in the course of their job, may wind up watching lots of footage of horrific events and those people can develop PTSD from those kinds of events.”

Liitte “t” trauma Next, she described little “t” trauma.

“You might lose a grandparent who was really sick for a long time.

You might be having trouble paying your bills and be really stressed out about that. You may have had a really awful divorce,” she said.

While these examples can be awful, unsettling, stressful and overwhelming, they are events less likely to lead to post-traumatic stress disorder.

Now that she’s explained the variances in trauma, understanding the main hallmark symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder are important.

Individuals suffering from the condition experience “intrusive symptoms,” which “is kind of like your brain can’t let go of the event,” Kaysen said. These types of symptoms are “things like having nightmares about it, having those memories that just keep popping into your mind even though you don’t want to have them, [or] getting really upset if something reminds you of the traumatic event.”

Some also talk about experiencing flashbacks, yet Kaysen said that is a more unusual symptom. The most common symptoms are “nightmares and those memories.”

What follows is “avoidance symptoms,” which “makes total sense,” she said.

With or without experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder, many people can relate to “avoidance.”

When things are tough, emotionally, physically or mentally, people may have a tendency to avoid talking

about it and avoid working through it. Many people find asking for help difficult. In turn, it can be quite isolating and all-consuming, impacting their health and lives on many levels.

Avoiding manifests Kaysen said there are a few ways in which avoidance manifests – from working multiple jobs or signing a child up for non-stop activities.

“It could be that whenever those memories come up, you have a drink,” she said.

Avoidance is “anything that you’re doing to keep those feelings at arm’s length,” she said.

Post-traumatic stress disorder has many facets.

I found it eye-opening to learn from Kaysen that “PTSD changes our thoughts and our feelings… in a couple of different ways.

“People may blame themselves or blame other people in ways that don’t quite match the reality of what happened,” she said. “They may think something was their fault, where objectively there is nothing they could have done, or they may blame somebody else who really didn’t have control over the event.

“It also can make people see the world in a way that may be a little more harsh, or not accurate, or black and white,” she said.

It may include thoughts, feelings and statements like “I used to trust people and I don’t trust anybody anymore. I used to think the world was really safe, now I’m scared to leave my house.”

Negative emotions come Post-traumatic stress disorder also may bring a lot of negative emotions to the forefront or even cause a lack of emotions – guilt, shame, anger and disgust. Those feelings can get really intense.

“Or they might feel really emotionally numb,” Kaysen said.

The last bracket of symptoms is hypervigilance. Kaysen explains that it is “kind of like your internal alarm system, normally a scale of 1 to 10, gets turned up to 11.”

“Being really jumpy, watchful and on guard, not being able to sleep, or not being able to concentrate” are notable symptoms worth seeking guidance and treatment for, Kaysen said. “Those symptoms can really wear people down.”

The commonality of post-traumatic stress disorder is staggering.

PTSD cases increasing “The one year prevalence rate of PTSD in the United States is 4% and 11% of people seen in primary care have PTSD,” Kaysen said.

A one-year prevalence rate means that at some point during a year, that percentage of the population identified having the disease.

Post-traumatic stress disorder “is associated with higher risk of death, increased risk of suicidal ideation and attempts, poorer physical health, more marital instability, and higher healthcare cost in civilians and in veterans,” she said. “The number of folks who actually have PTSD symptoms is much bigger than the number who reach out for help.”

Few seek treatment She said while research is being carried out – and research findings take significant time – that in a broad statement there is a gap between folks with post-traumatic stress disorder, both among veterans and active duty military, and those who seek treatment/services.

She said there are complicated reasons for this, one being “a leaky pipeline,” even when active duty and veterans are reaching out for help.

“Not everybody gets into treatment,” Kaysen said. “Not everybody who gets into treatment stays to the point where they get a good dose of therapy – enough to get a benefit.

“In a large national sample (the National Comorbidity Study Replication), only 34.4% of individuals with current PTSD received specialty mental health care (care by a psychologist or psychiatrist) during the course of a year,” Kaysen said.

A Veterans Affairs study of veterans who were involved in Afghanistan and/or Iraq conflicts and had been newly diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder, concluded “only about one third received treatment from a PTSD mental health subspecialty clinic,” she said.

Staying in treatment to gain the benefit can be challenging.

As Kaysen said, “Less than 10% received the recommended exposure to PTSD treatment by attending 9 or more VA mental health treatment sessions in 15 weeks or less during the first year of PTSD diagnosis.”

The same goes for medication as “on average, approximately 30% of those prescribed medications for PTSD also drop out,” according to Ravindran & Stein in 2009.

Treatment options for PTSD can include medication, psychotherapy or both.

Kaysen said treatments involve between eight and 15 sessions and are typically done at least once a week.

Effective treatments “Most effective treatments for PTSD involve focusing on the memory of the traumatic event or about the meaning of the event for you,” she said. “Treatments may use a variety of strategies to help you do this. It could involve having you actively remember the event with your therapist in the room with you or having you write about the event.

It could involve having you write about the ways you made sense of how and why the event occurred.

It could also involve having you go out and try doing things you’ve been avoiding since the trauma, in small approachable steps. Most of the effective therapies are structured and have ‘between session’ practice.”

Long treatments needed While treatment consumes about four months of time, the results can be life-changing. Research is being done to conclude if treatments could be more intense/more frequent and just as effective. Kaysen said that the initial findings are “that you can actually make them more intensively dosed and they are just as effective.”

“Being able to have your PTSD symptoms better in 2 weeks – that’s like a miracle,” she said.

Between juggling family schedules, a deployment looming or not feeling like there is time to start treatment due to other commitments, it can seem to some sufferers like it’s too hard to seek out professional help and stay in it long enough to see results.

“The best treatment is the treatment you’re going to do,” Kaysen said. “Medications in your medicine cabinet that you don’t take, don’t work.”

The same thing goes for psychotherapy treatments and the required work on both the patient’s part and therapist’s part.

Choosing providers A key component is the provider/ therapist the patient chooses to have treat them. Kaysen confirmed that can be the real game changer.

“Doctors work for you,” Kaysen said. “I tell all my patients, first of all – that I work for them; and secondly, my goal is for them to either graduate from me or fire me.”

Kaysen said that “finding a provider you like and trust” is an important factor in therapy.

Look at it like interviewing your doctor. Kaysen explained, “Ask them what their experience is in treating PTSD? What treatments do they use?

How do they know if somebody is getting better?”

In her practice, Kaysen assesses a measured post-traumatic stress disorder level in each therapy session, therefore she knows the benchmarks as to which sessions patients should start feeling symptom relief.

“It’s not enough for your therapist to say ‘How is it going? How do you feel treatment is working?’” This response can be applied in all aspects of medical care.

If a person finds themselves in a doctor’s care where they are letting the patient guide the answers and solutions and not measuring where the patient is at – post-traumatic stress disorder, a heart issue, blood pressure, diabetes or migraine – then it may be time to take a hard look at the big picture and make a change.

Psychotherapies “can be incredibly powerful,” Kaysen said.

But patients have to come in consistently (weekly) as well as do the prescribed at-home practice/homework. The therapies have proven successful for post-traumatic stress disorder patients.

Psychotherapy sessions “For sexual assault survivors, there was one study they found that 80% of people who did the therapy had at least a 50% reduction of symptoms,” Kaysen said. “These treatment effects lasted 10 years or more after they finished a brief psychotherapy.”

Touching on the “practice/homework” folks have outside of psychotherapy sessions, Kaysen said, “The way I think about it is when we are trying to learn something new, the best way to do that is to embed it in our day-to-day lives.”

Many individuals aren’t having active symptoms when they see her in her office at Stanford; however, they are having them outside of session, in the middle of the night, at the grocery store or in their day-to-day lives. Psychotherapy provides the tools to work through the experiences on one’s own, whenever and wherever needed.

So the “best way to know how

to handle PTSD when on your own is to practice it and get some help,” Kaysen said.

As with many therapies, it can be uncomfortable, painful and the last thing a person wants to do that day – “but that is the way to get to full-functioning,” she said.

Successful treatment She feels at this time that treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder in active military and veterans is “pretty successful.”

“We do have treatments that are effective for both [and] they work very well for some people, pretty well for some people, and there are some people that they don’t help at all,” she said.

Kaysen said there is room for improvement.

“In one meta-analysis (a way of analyzing across studies to be able to combine their results) across all psychotherapies for PTSD, 67% of the patients who completed treatment no longer met criteria for PTSD after treatment,” Kaysen said. “The good news is if you haven’t gotten treatment, try it, because there’s a good chance it’ll work.”

Riverside County advocates call for more resources to support older adults RIVERSIDE – Policy leaders and senior advocates recently called for collaboration, increased planning and additional resources to ensure Riverside County’s rapidly aging population can thrive in healthy and supportive communities.

“As service providers we must pull together and continue the discussion with the state about how to appropriately fund programs for our aging residents,” Sayori Baldwin, director of the Department of Public Social Services and assistant county executive officer over human services, said.

One in five of the county’s 2.5 million residents is age 60 or older, a population that’s expected to double in coming decades. Experts said a growing number of older adults are at risk of falling into poverty and poor health due to increasing housing, energy and food costs, especially those older adults who are living just above the poverty line where they might not qualify for services.

Baldwin joined medical, law enforcement and other experts at the 2022 Elder and Dependent Adult Abuse Symposium Wednesday, June 1, where they highlighted the economic and social challenges confronting older adults and their families. They emphasized the need for seamless access to all services and for community partners to collectively focus on meeting the needs of the growing aging population.

“We’re living longer and that means our older population needs continued support. Our county agencies and partners are increasing their efficiency to maintain and

improve the quality of life for our senior communities,” Fifth District Supervisor Jeff Hewitt, chair of the board of supervisors, said.

Abuse of at-risk adults includes things such as self-neglect, neglect, physical abuse, financial exploitation and more. At least one in 10 Americans over age 60 will experience some form of abuse during their lifetime and the risk increases with age and conditions such as dementia. Thanks to a new state law that took effect this year, social workers can now provide services to eligible adults 60 and older. Previously, Adult Protective Services could not step in to help an older adult who might be experiencing abuse or neglect until they were at least 65.

“This change means we’re able to intervene five years sooner. We believe earlier intervention leads to safer outcomes,” Todd Bellanca, assistant director of Adult Protective Services at DPSS, said.

other administrative art roles. She and her husband decided to start a family and brought her home to focus on her own artwork.

“I think of how happy he (David Kendall) would be to see his family working so closely together on the farm and for the farm,” Hannoosh said.

David Kendall, the farm’s founder, moved his family from Los Angeles to Fallbrook in 1987 onto the first 50 acres he purchased. Farming was in his blood, as he originally was from farm country in Texas.

The family settled in and soon realized their passion for growing and farming California flowers.

They grew flowers that could thrive in arid conditions. According to history on the farm’s website, David Kendall’s son Jason Kendall and nephew Troy Conner, continue to to build on David Kendall’s vision. Jason Kendall is the company’s CEO, and he’s also a Fallbrook Food Pantry board member.

Together, Jason Kendall and Conner continued with David

Kendall’s vision, while adding their own to grow the farm to its 500 acres today.

“One thing that will never change here at Kendall Farms is our family. We have persevered through fires, floods and recessions and continue to thrive at what we do with everything we are given,” according to the site.

Additionally, the family has the Outreach Farm Project. It began as an answer to the crashing economy in spring 2009.

“When the crashing economy overwhelmed the local outreach organizations that could no longer keep up with the demands for food, we converted several of our fields into a produce farm. We partnered with Community Mission of Hope and other local outreach programs to provide fresh produce to help those who are struggling to provide for themselves and their families,” according to the site.

The program is run by Kendall Farms and Conner’s family, and through the partnership with local businesses and thousands of volunteers, who work the fields.

J.R. Filanc Construction was awarded the Eastern Municipal Water District contract for EMWD’s Temecula Valley Regional Water Reclamation Facility dewatering building corrosion mitigation project.

The EMWD board voted 5-0 Wednesday, June 1, to award the Escondido company a $2,064,000 contract for the work. The action also included approving an $87,345 construction support services contract with Kennedy/ Jenks Consultants, authorizing EMWD general manager Joe Mouawad to award consultant and supplier contracts administratively and appropriating an additional $2,667,400 for the project.

from liquid and sludge cake are corrosive and have deteriorated the building’s metal structures, equipment and accessories.

In June 2020, Kennedy/Jenks was retained to assess the condition of the building and the foul air system and to prepare a preliminary design report including conceptual layout and recommendations to address corrosion throughout the building. The Kennedy/Jenks recommendations included replacing the belt conveyors with screw conveyors, installing a foul air hood in the centrate discharge to extract foul air direct from the sources, replacing corroded coatings throughout the building and modifying and rebalancing the foul air extraction ducts to improve the foul air ventilation system. EMWD staff negotiated a scope of work and fee with Kennedy/Jenks for the final engineering design services, and in March 2021, the EMWD board approved a $169,800 final design contract with Kennedy/Jenks which covered project management, field investigations, preparation of construction contract documents including plans and specifications, mechanical design,

electrical design, plumbing engineering design, structural design and bidding support.

Two bids for the construction contract were received by the Wednesday, May 4, deadline. Filanc had the low bid of $2,064,000, while SS Mechanical Construction Corporation of Mission Viejo submitted a proposal for $2,120,096.

Under the engineering services contract, Kennedy/Jenks will respond to requests for information, review submittals and shop drawings and prepare record drawings.

Eastern and Kennedy/Jenks negotiated the $87,345 fee to reflect the required level of effort.

The $2,667,400 appropriated also covers $133,300 for contract administration, $58,400 for inspection, $10,000 for operations branch labor, $4,800 for engineering labor and $309,555 for contingencies.

The contract has a duration of 420 calendar days. Construction is expected to begin in June 2022 and be complete in August 2023.

Additionally, the two have created a seasonal look with labels on bouquet Mason Jars.

“We came up with the idea to make art for our arrangement jars.

We decided to go seasonal and created labels featuring pincushion flowers for fall, proteas for winter, sunflowers for summer and wax flowers for spring,” Hannoosh said.

Hannoosh and Conner came up with the idea of a giant painting of the farm scenery to become their artwork for their company displays in the retail locations.

“It is a large painting of the farm. It shows its breadth close-up to the hills in the distance,” Hannoosh said.

Hannoosh’s background is in art, as she studied photography at the University of Oregon. She also attended Carnegie-Mellon University in New York and studied nonprofits. She went to the International Center for Photography.

Kennedy’s Meat Company announces new Temecula location SAN DIEGO – Kennedy’s Meat Company announced that it is set to open a new location in Temecula this fall. The shop will land on Margarita Road, adjacent to Promenade Temecula, the 1,900-squarefoot shop will feature high-quality meats and a specialty market.

The original Kennedy’s Market was opened by Jesus Soto in 1972 as a one-stop-shop in the small town of Heber. What started as a small convenience store soon brought in people from all over Southern California to pick up Soto’s “Best in Class Carne Asada.”

Mark Mendoza, grandson of Jesus Soto, carries on the Kennedy’s legacy supplying the community with the freshest, highest-quality foods.

“Carrying on my grandfather’s legacy has always been of the utmost importance when opening Kennedy’s,” Mendoza said.

“My grandfather always valued people the most when they walked through the door. I think folks that have worked with us or visited us can agree that aside from your favorite place to pick up meat, we’ve created a family-like atmosphere.

We look forward to creating this ‘Cheers’ effect in Temecula.”

Since the opening of the Escondido location in 2018, the shop has supplied Southern California with best in class carne asada, pollo asado, Angus prime, Wagyu and Kobe beef and most commonly known for their marinades, which can be creative and bold

with a mix of dry and wet rubs.

Kennedy’s Meat Company made local headlines in 2020 after the team gave out over 20,000 pounds of steak and jerky following the COVID-19 economic devastation.

Kennedy’s Meat Company takes great pride in providing only the highest quality meats and table fare to customers. Family owned and operated since its founding in 1972 by the early Soto, it is now run by grandson Mark Mendoza. Kennedy’s Meat Company is located in Escondido, with an additional location opening in Temecula in fall 2022. For more information, visit http://www.kennedysmeatcompany.com.

BUSINESS Correction

In the article “Assistance League Thrift Shop temporarily closes,” which ran in the May 27 edition of Valley News, Assistance League representative Electra Demos was quoted as saying that black water had flooded the nonprofit’s Temecula office. This was incorrect. It was actually fresh water from a toilet tank that flooded the building. Valley News apologizes for the error.

Reilly Construction Management to oversee EVMWD backflow device replacements Joe Naiman WRITER

Reilly Construction Management Inc. has been awarded the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District contract to oversee the third phase of the district’s backflow device replacement project.

A 5-0 EVMWD board vote awarded Reilly Construction Management, which is based in Escondido, a $209,538 professional services contract. The board action authorized total expenditures of $210,586 which will allow for $1,048 in overhead costs.

Public water systems are required by state law to protect their water supplies from contamination by

implementing a cross-connection control program which must include the installation of backflow prevention assemblies if a potential hazard to the water supply is identified. Backflow assemblies must be tested annually. The district identified 87 single check backflow devices below ground which need to be replaced and located above ground to comply with current standards.

The replacement of the EVMWD backflow devices has been divided into four phases. The first phase was completed in April 2020 and replaced 21 single check backflow assemblies. The second phase replaced 17 devices during 2021.

The third phase will replace 24

backflow devices consisting of 22 in Lake Elsinore and two in Wildomar.

The work will include the demolition and removal of the existing devices and the installation of vaults and new piping appurtenances as well as the installation of the abovegrade double check devices.

On March 2, EVMWD staff solicited construction management services proposals. Two bids were received by the March 30 deadline.

An evaluation of firm qualifications, experience, and project understanding identified Reilly Construction Management as the more qualified firm.

Supervisors set Sept. 13 hearing to create Highway 74 financing district Joe Naiman WRITER

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors set a Tuesday, Sept. 13, hearing date for the proposed creation of the Highway 74 Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District Public Financing Authority.

The supervisors’ 5-0 vote Tuesday, May 24, set the pubic hearing for September 13, adopted a resolution of intention to form the district and create the financing authority, approved the boundary map, directed that a copy of the resolutions be sent to each landowner within

the proposed district and found the creation of the district to be categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review.

An enhanced infrastructure financing district is a state-approved bond issuance mechanism for local governments. The relevant state law authorizes such districts to issue bonds to finance public capital facilities. Each enhanced infrastructure financing district is governed by a public financing authority which consists of three board of supervisors members and two members of the public.

The Enhanced Infrastructure

Financing District will actually not create new taxes for property owners but rather designate the increase in property tax and motor vehicle license fee revenue from resale or development of properties for financing district revenue. The members of the public financing authority will serve four-year terms.

The Highway 74 Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District will extend along state Route 74 from Conrad Avenue to Seventh Street.

Supervisors airport road access agreement for KTM facility Joe Naiman WRITER

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved an agreement which will allow the KTM facility in unincorporated Temecula to utilize the Sky Canyon Drive South entrance road to French Valley Airport.

A 5-0 vote Tuesday, May 24, approved the agreement and found that the agreement itself is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review.

KTM, which is an Austrian motorcycle brand with a reputation for successful off-road racing, is currently under the corporate umbrella of Pierer Industrie AG, and the agreement stipulates that Pierer Immoreal North America will provide road improvements to Sky Canyon Drive South.

In November 2019, the county supervisors approved a plot plan and an environmental mitigated negative declaration for the KTM facility. The complex will be located east of the Winchester Road portion of state Route 79, west of Sky Canyon Road, north of Borel Road and south of Sparkman Way. The complex will consist of a main headquarters building, a motorsport building and a storage building, and the plot plan also allows for a truck parking area and a motorcycle washing area.

The headquarters building will be primarily office space. It will total 47,675 square feet and will be 32 feet in height. The motorsport building will total 60,860 square feet, will be approximately 26 feet in height, and will be used for equipment testing and research and will also include office space. The storage building will be 17,917 square feet and 26 feet in height; it will include storage for motorcycles and other equip-

ment. An open area between the motorsport building and the storage building will provide 26,696 square feet for truck parking. An 8,602 square foot intake area will also be between the motorsport building and the storage building and will include truck bays and a washing area for motorcycles.

Sky Canyon Drive has a portion known as Sky Canyon Drive North and a portion known as Sky Canyon Drive South. Sky Canyon Drive North is currently part of the county’s public road system. Sky Canyon Drive South, which is the entrance to French Valley Airport, is owned by the county and is part of the Aviation Division of the county’s Transportation and Land Management Agency.

KTM Motorsports requested non-exclusive access to Sky Canyon Drive South to accommodate truck and vehicle traffic for employees, customers, suppliers and guests. On March 2, the Aviation Division submitted a request to the Federal Aviation Administration seeking approval to designate Sky Canyon Drive South as a public road or to approve an easement to KTM to allow non-airport traffic on that portion of the road.

The memorandum of agreement between the county and Pierer Immoreal North America provides non-exclusive road access for a 50-year term. Pierer Immoreal North America will provide approximately $1.6 million worth of improvements including a road realignment of Sky Canyon Drive South to create a partial connection to Sky Canyon Drive North, the installation of new sidewalks, gutters, signage, curbs, landscaping and stormwater drain lines.

Vista Murrieta’s Alyssa Alumbres placed fifth in the long jump and sixth in the triple jump at the CIF State Track and Field Championships at Buchanan High School in Clovis.

CLOVIS — The 102nd CIF State Track and Field Championships took place May 27-28 at Buchanan’s Veterans Memorial Stadium, with several area student athletes competing strong until the finish.

Murrieta Mesa senior Cade Moran was the only local top of the podium finisher, while Great Oak’s Aiden Pastorian and J.C. Stevenson found their way on to the podiums, with second and third place finishes in a number of their respective events. There were also a handful of top-ten finishers from area high schools as well.

Moran, who won the State title in the shot put with a throw of 64-3 ¼, spent the season making more of a mark in the boys’ discus event with several throws of more than 200 feet, including setting a new Riverside County record early last month. At the State championships, it would be Moran that finally got past Great Oak’s Aiden Pastorian, who placed second with a shot put throw of 60-4.

As for the discus, JSerra’s Bren-

don See was the top finisher with a throw of 203-10, Moran took second place with a toss of 199-06 and Elsinore’s Elijah Ignacio placed third with a throw of 196-07.

Murrieta Valley’s Madisyn Negro (11) placed sixth with a vault of 12-05.00 and Aspen Fears (10) of Vista Murrieta came just under the top-ten spot, at ninth place with her vault of 12-05.00. see TRACK, page C-2

Lady Titans offense silenced as CIF softball playoff run ends Derryl Trujillo SPORTS WRITER

TEMPLE CITY – During their run to the CIF-SS Division 3 semifinals, Temescal Canyon’s softball team was able to rally from deficits and win in back-to-back rounds.

Last Tuesday afternoon, in a CIFState Division 3 Southern California Regional quarterfinal game, delayed by 75 minutes due to a miscommunication with umpires, the Lady Titans flipped the script and used a three run third inning to grab an early lead. Then they survived three late Cajon attempts to tie the game and prevailed 4-1.

Throughout their playoff run, the Temescal Canyon softball team has been able to solve most of the pitchers they have faced, scoring a total of 27 runs this postseason entering their semifinal matchup.

However, the Lady Titans had no answers for Temple City starting pitcher Kassandra Gewecke falling 7-1 after being tied at one-run apiece through two innings.

The Lady Rams offense got going right away as Sheridan Gonzalez laid down a squeeze bunt to lead off the game and Samantha Womack singled. Melanie Platon sacrificed the pair to second and third and a run scored on Mikala Sanchez’ groundout. Lady Titans’ starter Marissa Sanchez limited damage, getting a groundout from Mya Arias to end the threat.

RCC Tigers win 2022 CCCAA State Baseball Championship Local talent helps secure program’s fifth title

Players from the Riverside City College baseball team celebrate winning the 2022 California Community Valley News/Courtesy photos College Athletic Association State Championship Monday, May 30.

On Monday, May 30, Rudy Arguelles, who is in his sixth year as head coach at Riverside City College, won the school’s first State title since 2007.

Riverside City College won the California Community College Athletic Association State Baseball Championship Monday, May 30, over Folsom College.

The RCC Tigers won 19 of their final 21 games on the way to their first CCCAA state title in 15 years.

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

For the fifth time in program history, Riverside City College baseball has won the California Community College Athletic Association State Championship. On Monday, May 30, when most were busy with Memorial Day BBQs or paying tribute to the fallen military soldiers of our nation’s past, the RCC Tigers baseball team were busy putting together a championship run against Folsom Lake College. When the dust settled on the day, RCC defeated the Falcons 10-8.

According to their website, it is the Tigers’ first title under the direction of Head Coach Rudy Arguelles and his coaching staff.

Additionally, it is the team’s first title in 15 years after breaking a 14-year drought from the state championship tournament.

“It’s special and it doesn’t matter how many times you get here,” Arguelles told the media. “Each time it is going to be even more unique and special within its own. Being a champion is beyond words you can even describe. But the foundation to a championship team is always the same…it’s Riverside and this is what we are about.”

Arguelles and his staff, which is comprised of Associate Head Coach David Martinez and assistant coaches R. J. Ybarra, Hector Rabago and Josh Banuelos, led their team to a flawless 3-0 record in state championship play. Out of the gate the Tigers had to overcome a four-run deficit in game one of the tournament, where they came back to defeat host Folsom Lake, 11-9. That win was backed by a 14-8 trouncing over Ohlone Community College, setting them up to seal the deal with a second victory over Folsom Lake on championship Monday, 10-8.

“First off, I think the experience of being here before is paying dividends,” Arguelles said. “Secondly, it doesn’t matter if it’s me and the title attached to my name. That is one thing that we preach is that there are zero egos. It’s every one of these guys on the staff and on this roster. That’s what it takes.”

Freshman center fielder Julian “Rafa” Alvarez, a Yucaipa graduate, was named the State Championship Tournament’s Most Valuable Player. Despite an injury,

Alvarez battled things out and went 5-for-10 with a double, RBI and three runs scored throughout the tournament. He also earned Orange Empire Conference Second Team recognition this season.

“Rafa struggled throughout the playoffs, but he found ways to contribute as he has throughout the year,” Arguelles said. “When we got here, it started clicking.”

Riverside scored four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning after the Falcons snagged an early 3-0 lead following two solo shots.

Matthew Bardowell launched a solo home run to start the inning, backed by a sacrifice fly out from freshman second baseman Darius Price. Freshman catcher Daniel Briones capped the inning with a two out RBI double to plate freshman left fielder Casey Murray and freshman first baseman Daniel Garcia.

Later in the game, in a bout of déjà vu for Riverside, they found themselves down by two runs going into the bottom of the eighth inning in the final game. Freshman defensive replacement Ramsses Fierro led off the inning with a 10-pitch at bat and drew a crucial walk to spark the rally. He would quickly steal second base, then a walk to J. Alvarez would bring up freshman shortstop Sebastian Flores, who laced a two RBI double down the left field line.

Fierro and Alvarez would both score on the play to tie the game up at seven apiece.

Bardowell would come back up to follow with an RBI single and Adrian Arechiga added a pinch-hit two-run single to put the Tigers up for good. Hayden Coon, who came in to pitch the seventh inning, earned the win in 1-2/3 innings.

Freshman closer Albert Roblez entered in the top of the ninth, but he got a swinging strike three to end the game and give RCC its fifth state title.

Riverside finishes the season on a winning note with an overall record of 36-12 and a conference record of 15-6. The Tigers won 19 of its final 21 games on the way to their first CCCAA state title since 2007. What makes this a more stunning feat is they were the only program in the Orange Empire Conference that did not play in 2021 because of COVID-19 restrictions.

As Arguelles has been preaching the entire year, his message has stayed the same. When asked what is next for the Tigers, he responded, “We ride the wave.

Players from the area that contributed this season to the State Title run include Casey Murray, a first-year utility player from Orange Vista; Rheego McIntosh, a first-year pitcher from Chaparral High School; Caleb Anderson, a first-year pitcher from Paloma Valley; and Isaiah Lopez, a first-year catcher from Great Oak, who redshirted at Montana State, Billings last season.

With a handful of local players as well, Palomar also advanced to the State Championship tournament, but ultimately fell to host Folsom in the loser’s bracket.

Road to CIF-State golf finals ends one round short for local golfers Derryl Trujillo SPORTS WRITER

Four local golfers advanced through league qualifying, the CIF Southern Section Central Individual qualifier at Bear Creek in Murrieta and the CIF-SS Championship play at River Ridge in Oxnard to last Thursday’s CIF-SCGA Southern California Regional Final at Brookside Golf Club in Pasadena.

The goal was simple but not easy. Be among the top 9 players not on a team qualified for next Wednesday’s CIF-State finals at San Gabriel to advance. Unfortunately, for all four of our locals at Brookside, the road ended a round short of the finals. The score to advance was -2 under (70) on the 6,852-yard layout that also serves as parking for UCLA football games.

Great Oak’s Nathan Sampson (starting at No. 1 in a shotgun) reached -2 after going eagle, birdie on the 5th and 6th holes but gave one shot back with a bogey at

eight to go out in -1 (35). Back-toback bogeys at fifteen and sixteen dropped him to +1. He would recover one of those shots with a birdie at seventeen and gave himself an eagle opportunity at eighteen by driving the green, but the putt did not fall.

Vista Murrieta’s Jaden Huggins (starting at No. 1 in a shotgun) had back-to-back birdies on fifteen and sixteen which got him to even par after going out in +1 (37) but he’d get no closer to the cut line and post E (72).

Temescal Canyon’s Nixon Lauritzen started on 16 in the shotgun

start and completed nine holes at -1. He dropped a shot at the par 3 eighth (his 11th hole of the day) but got it back with a birdie at eleven (his 14th) and was one off the cut line. However, a rough finish (bogey, double bogey, quintuple bogey) sent him to a six over par round of 78.

Chaparral’s Chance Frye went out in +3 (39) also starting off 16 and recorded two birdies in his last six holes en route to a two over round of 74.

Great Oak’s Eric Morton ready to hang up baseball coaching hat JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

Great Oak head baseball coach Eric Morton, pictured here in 2019 raising up the program’s first ever CIF Southern Section title plaque in Division 3, recently announced his retirement after 17 years with the Wolfpack.

Valley News/David Canales photo

Student athletes that have gone through the Great Oak baseball program have really only ever known one man to lead them as a head coach during their high school careers. In 2004, when the school first opened, Eric Morton was named the head of the baseball program and for 17 years, helped young men grow into adults, through the game of baseball.

Despite stepping away for one season, during the 2017-2018 school year to become assistant athletic director, Morton still had a good watch on the program. Ed Michalkiewicz, an assistant varsity coach in previous years, took over that lone year before Morton announced he would return for the 2019 season.

Morton, who also teaches high school math, started his coaching career at San Marcos High School before moving to Temecula. His biggest supporters, of course, his family consisting of wife Danielle, and two sons, Zach and Nathan, could always be found in the stands of home games and Nathan even played in the program from 2018-2021, getting two years of varsity play time, which included only a few games during the cutshort COVID-19 season in 2020.

On April 2, 2022, Great Oak defeated Riverside Poly 11-2 in a preseason game during the Darryl Kile Tournament, held at Norco

High School, which gave Morton a milestone in career win number 300 as a head coach.

“I was so proud and thankful to have reached the milestone of picking up my 300th win,” Morton said via social media. “I’m so blessed to have had amazing players, parents, administrators, coaches and a family who have been part of this journey at both Great Oak and San Marcos.”

Morton has seen plenty of milestones over his tenure at Great Oak, including two CIF Southern Section finals appearances, 2006 and 2019. In 2006 Morton and his Wolfpack squad were the DeAnza League Champions (12-1) and made it through the Division 5 playoffs, but lost the title game to Campbell Hall, 5-4, which was only the program’s second varsity season. In 2019, Great Oak (239-1) advanced to the Division 3 final against La Canada (22-7) at Dodger Stadium, winning 7-0, claiming the program’s first, and only, CIF Southern Section title, thus far.

The Southwestern League came to fruition for the Wolfpack in 2007, and Great Oak took the top spot in 2010 when they shared the league title with Murrieta Valley. Both teams went 11-4 in league play that year. With an 11-4 record in 2014, Morton and the Pack were also the overall league champions that year, claiming the title outright.

On Thursday, May 19, roughly

two weeks after finishing in third place in the Southwestern League this year and falling to Maranatha High School in the first round of the CIF Southern Section Division 2 playoffs, Morton announced he would be hanging up his coaching hat at Great Oak. “It was an emotional day when I announced to the team that I will be retiring as head baseball coach at Great Oak high school,” Morton saud. “It has been an amazing 21 years as a head varsity coach, with 17 of those years being at Great Oak. I will forever cherish the memories and friendships I have made along the way.”

According to MaxPreps, which has been known to have a glitch here and there, Morton ends his career at Great Oak with 257 wins, 190 losses, and four tie ball games.

In the Southwestern League, again, according to MaxPreps, Morton compiled 101 wins, and 96 losses.

Overall, he had 307 wins as a head coach, with 50 wins coming by way of San Marcos High School.

A new head coach for the Great Oak program has not yet been announced, but incoming freshmen can go online to register for the summer program, which starts June 14th. The program is also hosting youth camps which are taking place this week. For more information visit www.gohsathletics.com/gohsbaseball.

Temescal Canyon responded in the second inning with two outs as Macie Lawrence singled up the middle and Sanchez was hit by a pitch. Gisele Gonzalez had the RBI single before Gewecke struck out Hayley Gano.

Gewecke, part of a talented class of sophomore pitchers, remarked, “When you don’t know about a batter you have to throw to your strengths and what you see in that at bat and work from there as

the game goes on. We fell short of a title last year but knew what we had to do and have been slowly checking off the boxes this year.”

When the Lady Rams played Orange Vista, it was a six-run second inning which blew the game open in a Division 4 quarterfinal win. On Wednesday, June 1, the Lady Rams did their damage in the middle innings, recording six unanswered runs on six hits and sending fourteen batters to the plate in creating the 7-1 lead which Gewecke made stick.

Temescal Canyon coach Christina Goldberg remarked, “Our offense just did not adjust today and that is unfortunately the sport of softball. Marissa has been

tremendous for us, but they were hitting her hard and I had to try and give a different look and see if we couldn’t give ourselves an opportunity. It’ll be hard to lose the seniors we’re losing but for the returners they have to remember how this feels and rise above it next year.”

EDUCATION

Noli Indian School prepares its students for a bright future Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The administration and staff at Noli Indian School on the Soboba Indian Reservation know that classroom learning is just one way to prepare students for life beyond high school. Serving grades 6-12, the school provides career and college readiness opportunities for all grade levels.

Aside from a strong and popular AVID program, the school recently hosted a career and college fair and conducted mock employment interviews with the help of community members, some who returned to critique mandatory senior projects.

“I believe it is never too early to introduce students of all ages to potential careers. It is important to guide the students to begin thinking about their future endeavors. Preparation is the key,” Liz LaCella, academic coordinator, said. “In the 15 years that I have worked at Noli, I have seen the progression of turning the campus from a credit recovery to a college and career-going atmosphere. We still have plenty of work ahead of us, but I am proud of the forward moving progression this campus has developed.”

It marks the second time that education tech Desiree Cosby has hosted a College and Career Fair “to inform and influence tomorrow’s workforce.” She was pleased with the turnout by local businesses and nonprofits that highlighted a variety of occupations as well as the presence of representatives from nearby colleges and trade schools.

Approximately 105 Noli students participated in the voluntary event and Karlene Clifford brought about 20 of her Sherman Indian High School students from Riverside to the April 6 event at the Soboba Sports Complex gymnasium.

“The goal was to re-establish contact with as many 2019 College and Career Fair vendor attendees as possible,” Cosby said. “Also, to restore some degree of normalcy in terms of student expectations for campus traditions. It’s great to get back to in-person instruction but Noli students have missed out on so many school events due to COVID.” Soboba Casino Resort had a strong presence with representatives available to talk about anything from marketing and IT operations to golf course maintenance.

SoCal Edison employees provided a demonstration of how power lines work and let students know about the wide variety of occupations offered there.

Local entrepreneurs, such as locksmith Craig Cline and Noli alumnus Anthony Trujillo with Stylish Culture, appealed to those looking to go into business for themselves one day. Catherine “Cat” Modesto is an instructor at Coastline Beauty College who also has her own beauty business, HU$TLE & GLOW. Peyton Smith operates his own music company and attracted a constant stream of students to his table where he

Military careers were explained

by U.S. Navy recruiters and two members of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department shared their career experiences.

The FAB School table was a popular destination where Outreach Coordinator Victor Angon explained the hands-on training programs offered in Fundamentals of Fabrication, Digital Design and Manufacturing and Advanced Composites and Technologies.

Soboba Public Works, Administration and Tribal Environmental Department were on hand to answer any and all questions about their respective areas and what is offered there. Soboba Fire came during lunchtime, parking an engine at the complex’s parking lot that is shared with the school, so students could talk to them about all they do.

Robert and Hannah Young from Inland Memorial Harford Chapel fielded lots of questions about working at a funeral home and what it entails. Trade schools for truck driving, nursing and culinary training were also represented.

Mt. San Jacinto College Outreach Specialist Beth Bowles said most students were curious about tuition costs and she was able to share financial aid information with them. She added that many were fascinated to learn they might only have to attend classes a couple days a week, depending on their educational goals, and that with more than one campus, the college is conveniently located.

About 20 students participated in the April 8 one-on-one mock interviews, either in person or via Zoom. The premise, on which they based their resume and answers, was to fill a job in Outside Services at the Soboba Springs Golf Course. A job description with the duties and responsibilities expected of the applicant was supplied to the interviewers who then rated each one based on a rubric that covered the categories of attire, preparedness, clear speaking, posture and eye contact.

They could get anywhere from 10 to 25 points per category for 100 possible total points if they were dressed professionally, were completely prepared and obviously rehearsed, spoke clearly and distinctly without mispronouncing any words, sat up straight looking relaxed and confident and established eye contact during the interview.

“Several of the students I interviewed seemed very comfortable talking about themselves,” Aldana said. “A lot of their volunteer experience came out, which was great to hear.”

She said offering this type of experience and exposure is wonderful for the students because sometimes there is too much focus on going to college. Talking to students about their futures and making sure there is a place that will help prepare them for a job is critical.

Noli English teacher Daniel Alarcon oversaw this year’s senior projects, which took place over a two-day period, April 28 and 29.

Noli Indian School graduate and is now involved with University of California Riverside’s Native American Student Programs. University of Redlands student Norbit Arres, also a Noli grad, said the school’s preparation really helped him when he was uncertain about attending college.

Faith Vega and Angelo Leivas, both juniors at Noli, said the AVID program has helped them with preparing for college but were interested in exploring career opportunities during the fair. Faith said her mother is a registered nurse and if she follows in that direction, she might look for something in the mental health field. Angelo is very mechanically inclined and builds his own bikes to ride for fun.

LaCella took over the ninth and 10th grade honors and ninth grade English classes in 2016. Next, an Interview Skills Day for freshmen and sophomores was incorporated.

“Many of the students discussed how they were going to interview for jobs through the TANF program, so I felt it was necessary to establish a mock interview day at the school,” she said. “It stuck and we’ve been doing it for many years. With the help of many supporters, it has been a successful event.”

This year’s interviewers included Mountain View High School Intern Counselor Cassandra Aldana, EMWD Public Affairs Specialist II Ailene Earl, MSJC Job Developer/CalWORKS Timmy Diaz and Riverside-San Bernardino Counties Indian Health Inc. Prevention Educator Vanessa Brierty.

Smith inducted into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi BATON ROUGE, La. – Jonathan Smith of Lake Elsinore was recently initiated into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation’s oldest and most selective alldiscipline collegiate honor society.

Smith was initiated at California State University Northridge.

Smith is among approximately 25,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year. Membership is by invitation only and requires nomination and approval by a chapter. Only the top 10% of seniors and 7.5% of juniors are eligible for membership.

Graduate students in the top 10% of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify,

as do faculty, professional staff and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction.

Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897 under the leadership of undergraduate student Marcus L. Urann who had a desire to create a different kind of honor society: one that recognized excellence in all academic disciplines. Today, the society has chapters on more than 325 campuses in the United States, its territories and the Philippines.

Its mission is “to recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others.”

Since its founding, more than 1.5 million members have been

initiated into Phi Kappa Phi. Some of the organization’s notable members include former President Jimmy Carter, NASA astronaut Wendy Lawrence, novelist John Grisham and YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley. Each year, Phi Kappa Phi awards more than $1 million to outstanding students and members through graduate and dissertation fellowships, undergraduate study abroad grants, funding for post-baccalaureate development, and grants for local, national and international literacy initiatives.

“We are not grading their ideas but rather the ability to make an argument that will change the world on a subject that matters in their community or the world,” Alarcon said. “I had to learn to be a little more hands-off with their topics because I want their passion and interest to come through.”

He said the exercise gives students the skills they will need for any English 101 class they take in college. Five panel members critiqued each presentation based on whether they had enough slides in their presentations and transitioned the information accordingly, if they were dressed appropriately, if the presentation was at least 30 minutes long including question-and-answer time with the audience and other criteria about delivery, content, organization and enthusiasm.

Topics ran the gamut, including climate change, cults, serial killers, police brutality, suicide, Western beauty standards, ethics in sports and pollution. Each senior was given a round of applause at the end of their presentation.

“I feel it takes a village,” LaCella said. “Noli is a supportive crew, and they all know the importance of these events. They are always open to helping and supporting the cause. Many have shared that they feel these events help the students with their public speaking skills, which is a bonus in the classroom.”

HOME & GARDEN

Caring for trees and landscapes in times of drought Roger Boddaert SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

Southern Californians are entering new times of caring for the landscapes surrounding the homes that give them such pleasure, shade and aesthetic enjoyment and much more to their daily lives. The climate blanket that surrounds the globe is changing daily. People need to take measures to provide protection and care for their gardens in this unprecedented drought cycle that they’re enveloped in and understand they’re all in the same boat.

I have been working outside in landscapes for over six decades, and I have seen this coming because the times are changing and blowing in the wind. The weather data that we see on the television or from our phones tell us that new records are being set in temperatures, storms, tornados, floods, wildfires and weather phenomena that we have never seen before.

Homes are the castles that we have worked hard to maintain, enhance and call “home sweet home.” But with the lack of average rainfall and the warmer winters, plus the lower snowpack in the Northern California mountains, a new challenge awaits us all to sustain the landscape surrounding our homes.

We must understand that the dry cycle conditions are not new, but the value of the landscapes surrounding our homes increases each year as it matures and develops.

The trees that surround us daily play such a key role in cooling our homes, helping in erosion control, creating habitat for wildlife and bringing us beauty and joy.

So, let’s all pull up our bootstraps and understand what we can do now, for the future and moving forward for our gardens, our trees and the earth right now.

Consider a program that you all can employ daily in the overall preservation of your landscapes and Mother Earth.

Water is a precious and finite commodity, and there is just so much to drink, water our crops, flush our toilets, wash our clothes and dishes and drink.

So how can we protect the surrounding trees, shrubs and gardens to preserve, protect and be more water-efficient around the world, you ask?

Yep, it’s doable, but we must rethink the days of old and adopt new solutions outside of the box

with that precious blue liquid called water, and you can do it right now before the hot summer months ahead.

Here are some essential conservation tips for your trees, landscape and water bill, during drought conditions.

Reducing each sprinkle cycle by at least two minutes saves 80 gallons of water per day, assuming you have five irrigation stations watering three times weekly; you might have to adjust accordingly per the number of stations in your irrigation system.

By reducing your watering times by two minutes across the board, you can achieve an instant water saving of 20% for every time you water, depending on your system, which will vary.

Turn on your sprinkler system, and flush it out to ensure the water delivery goes where it should.

Sometimes small grits of sand or tiny bugs can get into the sprinkler heads and stop the flow.

Perhaps it’s an old system and needs upgrading and more waterconserving heads. Check with a water specialist who can review the design and possibly upgrade it to be more water effective.

As you limit landscape watering, take steps to protect trees.

Trees offer many benefits to people and wildlife and are an investment from one generation to the next generation.

Lawns can turn golden and eventually recover. Trees, however, can be lost forever after years of growth.

Dump the lawn and redesign the landscape to be drought-tolerant, for it can be handsome and save water and money.

Trees can be watered via “soaker hoses” and slowly saturate the soil around the root system.

Young trees or newly planted trees require 10-15 gallons of water per week.

For newly planted trees, it is vital to monitor the watering system to get young trees established in the first three years of their lives.

Here are some tools to use in caring for your trees, the landscapes, potted plants and the planters about your homes.

Tensiometers are tools with a long probe to place deep into the soil area to register the moisture content. The gauge will show moist, damp, or dry, and it takes the guesswork out of knowing your soil’s moisture so that you can water more efficiently.

Tensiometers are used to measure soil moisture so the right amount of watering can be given to plants and trees.

An alligator watering bag helps water trees.

Valley News/Roger Boddaert photos

A soil probe is used for testing soil strata and is very useful in landscape work.

Many drought tolerant plants provide relief from water guzzling lawns.

Soil probe is a metal rod that you plunge deep into the soil, and it pulls up a soil sample to see the soil strata and moisture content in that sample. I use it a lot in my landscape evaluations which can tell me about the soil makeup and water penetration.

Alligator bags are vinyl bags that you fill with water and place near trees with small holes at the base, and it slowly releases the water to drip around the root ball of the trees. We use them in some of the downtown Fallbrook trees to establish them in the beginning years.

Mulching can save water by retaining soil moisture, cutting down on weeds, building mycorrhizae, which are beneficial microbes, and being a handsome layer on the ground.

Don’t over prune. I see way too many trees over pruned, and it can let too much hot sunlight into the canopy of trees, which can lead to interior sunburning of the trunks, limbs and branches of the trees.

Trees can go into a water stress mode with the lack of water, and here are a few symptoms to look out for, including wilted foliage, a sparse canopy, leaf scorch, curled

leaves, yellowing of leaves, leaf drop and premature fall coloration, to mention a few.

To become attentive, take a walk around your garden and see what you can do, for you are the captain of your ship and the caretaker around your home.

end of June but be sure to water them deeply. For your June fertilizing program, I suggest using a product with higher phosphate – the middle number of products use the three N P K system – as it helps plants cope with the heat and high temperatures.

As blossoms fade, remove only

the petals – do not deadhead them – that is, allow hips to form.

This discourages new growth and flower formation, thus reducing demand for water. Remove fallen leaves and discard them along with the petals into your green yard

It has been confirmed that California is now in yet another drought. Gardeners must be watchful and learn how to efficiently manage the amount of water they apply in their gardens. With summer and the warmer temperatures to come, this care will help diminish heat damage and stress to the plants. The strategies I will discuss include delivering water efficiently, keeping water in the soil using mulch and allowing your roses a summer dormancy period.

Deliver water efficiently.

Installing the most efficient delivery system is one method to save or conserve water. Learning your garden’s soil type will help you make a decision on which systems work best and how much water to deliver at any one time.

Growing in pots is another story.

Typical mature, full-size hybrid teas in Southern California require about 6-9 gallons of water a week in moderate temperatures. As temperatures rise into the 80s, they require about 9 gallons per week.

In the 90s, about 12+ gallons. A rose can stay alive on considerably less, but they may come through the experience debilitated.

Drip systems are the most efficient way to deliver water because they don’t produce a spray that can be carried away by the breeze and deliver water slowly so it soaks

deep rather than running off. If you have a drip system, be sure it’s in good shape before you go on to the next step and cover it with mulch.

Open each irrigation valve one at a time and repair leaks.

I like Netafim products for their integrated pressure-regulating emitters. Find the information at http://netafimusa.com.

Lastly, estimate how long to run each system. Multiply the number of emitters by their delivery rate, for example 1 gallon per hour, then divide by the number of roses. For example: if you have 40 emitters, each delivering 1 gallon per hour, you deliver 40 gallons per hour. If you have 10 roses, that’s 4 gallons per rose. To deliver 12 gallons per week, run for one hour three times a week.

It should work well in a typical loam soil. You want the water to soak down at least 12 inches for optimal rose health. A loam soil doesn’t allow water to just run through it, so irrigating for an hour at a time can be fairly efficient.

On the other hand, if your soil is particularly sandy and water permeates more quickly, an hour may waste water, so run the system twice as often for half as long.

Mulch.

If you have read my past columns, you know that I advocate a 3-4 inches layer of mulch. Mulch moderates the soil temperatures, retains moisture and allows it to spread throughout the root zone,

discourages weeds and enriches with nutrients and biomass. There are many materials you can use, but I recommend composted mulch.

You might experiment with a variety of material, but you’ll probably get the best results if you don’t mix them in any one garden bed. For example, some gardeners have access to pine needles. They provide a cool airy barrier and break down very slowly to impart a more acidic soil environment which makes mineral nutrients more available to plants.

Another material is any size of wood chip specifically intended as mulch; I recommend the finer cut forms. There are some possible drawbacks. If not specifically manufactured for garden use, there is the potential for matting due to fungal growth, which can make the mulch impermeable to water – and the need to apply added nitrogen to break down the wood fibers. I’m not an advocate for dyed wood products.

Whatever material you choose, be careful to not apply it up to or over the bud union. Leave a clear area around the base of the plant of about 12-inch diameter. If you can maintain that distance, then as your composted mulch disintegrates it will not raise the soil level around the bud unions. This open area is one way the bush gets oxygen to the root area. Also, keep foliage pruned to at least 8 inches above the mulch layer to reduce infestations from pests like spider mites.

Allow summer dormancy.

Allowing your roses to go dormant during the hot summer months will reduce the stress on your plants. You won’t be missing out much because when you allow roses to power through the summer, most blooms are poor quality with burned petals and leaves. To encourage this dormancy, stop feeding established roses near the

Highway update

Major work to conclude on areas major highways, smaller projects continue Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Following the opening of the Highway 60 truck lanes through the Badlands from Beaumont to Moreno Valley, Riverside County Transportation Commission closed the westbound lanes from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. at night from June 6-10 to finally complete the work.

At the same time they closed the

eastbound and westbound Interstate 10 connectors to westbound Route 60 to finish up that highway.

Caltrans alerted the public that RV Concrete will be performing slurry seal operations and closures on state Route 91 and Interstate 15 in Murrieta and Corona. That work was to be completed June 10.

In Menifee, continuing road improvements are being made. They include storm drain improvements

along Palomar and Case Roads, but Palomar Road remains open.

Underground cabling work on Goetz Road north of Kabian Park

by Southern California Edison.

Intermittent lane closures. Menifee Road Improvements north of Matthews Road construction is continuing with some possible temporary lane closures.

Intermittent traffic control continues on Scott and Briggs roads

in support of Sumac Ridge Utility Work. SoCal Gas is installing a line on Holland Road but traffic control is no longer needed.

Pavement rehabilitation with resurfacing work at Potomac and Meadows roads is in full swing and is expected to continue through June 10. It is a pavement management project.

Intermittent traffic control still may be needed at Garbani and

Menifee roads with traffic signal improvements being made. A flagman may be present to help guide traffic.

The planned closure of Sun City Blvd. for traffic signal improvements and the west side of Murrieta Road has been delayed until further notice due to shortages of construction material availability.

services across connected departments and serving the county’s ever-growing number of residents.

The recommended budget includes more than $7.4 billion in funding for vital services, which is up more than 8% from last year’s $6.9 billion budget.

“The future of Riverside County is now,” County Executive Officer Jeff Van Wagenen said. “To continue to serve our ever-growing community, we need to be both deliberate and intentional in goals, decisions and actions. We must transform our service delivery to take advantage of the interrelated nature of public, private, nonprofit, community and faith-based organizations. We must evolve from a program-based model to a clientfocused model.”

The county’s entire $7.4 billion budget provides for wide-ranging programs that impacts the daily lives of residents, including social services, public works projects, community services, health care and public safety services. Approximately $1 billion of this budget is discretionary, where ad-

ditional priorities are determined to further enhance the quality of life for Riverside County residents.

In addition to transforming service delivery, the recommended budget prioritizes ways to seek systemic equity, provide critical infrastructure in underserved communities and build up the county’s savings in reserve funds.

Overall, county revenue is approximately $7.4 billion, up by $607 million, or 9% compared to previous budget. The increase is attributed to taxes, state revenue, including Proposition 172, and federal revenue. One key contributor to the positive state of the budget is the region’s strong economy. Discretionary revenue is anticipated to be $1 billion, an increase of 10% from last year’s adopted budget.

The recommended general fund discretionary spending, or net county cost, is also $1 billion, to align with the discretionary revenue. For the first time in more than a decade, the general fund discretionary revenue and NCC are structurally balanced without

the use of reserves.

The NCC includes $20 million in contingency funds reserved for emergency board action, and almost $20 million in augmentation funds to be used for one-time projects or services designated by the board of supervisors.

For the second year in a row, $5 million is specifically programmed for infrastructure in underserved, unincorporated areas. This fund is used for things like installing sewer lines, adding sidewalks and increasing support to unincorporated areas.

Another important highlight in this budget is the strategic effort to rebuild the county’s reserves.

The projected balance for reserves starting next fiscal year is $368 million, which is $115 million above the 25% discretionary revenue requirement based on board policy.

Of considerable note, this budget does not depend on coronavirus relief funds to balance. The federal American Rescue Plan Act resulted in $240 million coming to the county in this current fiscal

year, and another $240 million slated for fiscal year 2022-2023.

The board of supervisors determined this once-in-a-lifetime revenue must be invested into the community to ensure recovery from the pandemic and increase our collective resilience to future challenges. To date, the county has funded roughly $200 million of ARPA funding to infrastructure improvements, housing and homeless efforts, economic recovery, nonprofit assistance, as well as childcare and early childhood education.

The recommended budget will be discussed by the board of supervisors, along with department presentations, during upcoming budget hearings, June 13-14. Following any adjustments by the board, the final budget is scheduled to be adopted June 28. Next fiscal year runs from July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023.

The Riverside County Fire Department has a fuel tank at its Pine Cove fire station and has an agreement with the Pine Cove Water District which allows the water district to purchase fuel from the fire station. On Tuesday, May 24, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors renewed that agreement

for an additional 20 years.

The supervisors’ 5-0 vote extended the agreement until Dec. 31, 2042. All fuel must be tracked with that information subsequently being submitted to the fire department, all users under the agreement must be employees of the Pine Cove Water District if not the Riverside County Fire Department, and all fuel must be dispensed into the fuel tank of a

motor vehicle or other equipment including a container owned and used by the district or fire department. The water district will pay the per-gallon fuel rate which was the actual price paid by the fire department.

The fire department’s Pine Cove station is known as Station 23 and is located in the 29400 block of Marion Ridge Road. The fuel tank at Station 23 was purchased jointly

by the water district and County Service Area No. 38, which provides services to Pine Cove, in 1993. The fire department and the water district have equal ownership of the tank.

Cal Fire eyes Camp Fox for new fire center Chuck Westerheide COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE

Riverside County Fire Department and Cal Fire are working to turn a sixth-grade camp site at the base of Palomar Mountain into a fire center to train new firefighters.

A board letter from Supervisor Jim Desmond Tuesday, May 24, recommended the county finalize an agreement with Cal Fire to use the Camp Fox site as a wildland firefighting base.

The Camp Fox property was owned by the county but transferred to the San Diego County Office of Education in 1977. It is now transferring back to the county.

The new Fox Fire Center is already being updated by Cal Fire.

When it is complete, four Cal Fire hand crews will live at the property to help provide 24-hour wildland

fire protection coverage.

The crews will train daily in wildland fire prevention, education and suppression exercises such as hose lays, brush cutting, line cutting and tree falling. Cal Fire recruits will also conduct prescribed fire burning, brush clearing for defensible space and fuel reduction in surrounding communities.

“This is an exciting win for the county and a great opportunity to further support wildland fire suppression in the backcountry,” District 5 County Supervisor Jim Desmond said. “I want to thank our County Fire Staff for making this possible.”

“It is great to see the county, Cal Fire and the San Diego County Office of Education work together to secure this exceptional location to prepare our professional firefighters and better protect the region,” County Fire Director Jeff Collins said.

This is the entry to the New Fox Fire Center at the base of Palomar Mountain.

Airport Terminal 1 parking lot closes for new crosswalk construction City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Terminal 1 parking lot at San Diego International Airport closed to incoming traffic Sunday, June 5, officials announced last week.

All cars remaining in the lot need to exit by June 14, airport spokeswoman Sabrina LoPiccolo said.

On June 15, the lot and the pedestrian bridge that links it to the terminal and ground transportation island will close permanently and be replaced by a new crosswalk in front of Terminal 1, which is being rebuilt.

Parking at the airport is extreme-

ly limited because of the construction project, LoPiccolo said.

Officials offered the following options for airport passengers: Make parking reservations in advance. Reservations can be made for the Terminal 2 Parking Plaza or valet. If parking in the Terminal 2 Parking Plaza but flying from Terminal 1, passengers can ride the Terminal Loop Shuttle, which transports passengers between the two terminals.

Reservations can be made at san. org/parking. The new T1 Parking Plaza is expected to open in the fall of 2024.

Use public transit to the airport.

Try the free San Diego Flyer shuttle, a last-mile connection between the Old Town Transit Center and the airport.

Get dropped off or picked up by friends or family. Taxi, Lyft, Uber or other rideshare options are also alternatives.

The construction project is part of the airport’s T1 project that will replace the current Terminal 1 with a modern facility. Passengers should expect major construction and changes at the airport through the end of 2024.

Demographers warn of impending population collapse

Fertility data contradicts U.N. predictions of overpopulation and environmental devastation Kevin Stocklin THE EPOCH TIMES

Amid the deluge of dire predictions that the human population will rise exponentially, deplete the earth’s resources, and overheat the planet, two recent demographic studies predict the opposite—that the number of people will peak within the next several decades and then begin a phase of steady, irreversible decline.

In some places, including Japan, Russia, South Korea, and most countries in Europe, that population collapse has already begun. China is not far behind.

The United Nations has predicted that humanity will continue its rapid expansion into the next century, growing from just under 8 billion today to more than 11 billion by 2100. An oft-repeated interpretation of this data is that people are having too many babies, and many of the models for climate change and environmental degradation are based on projections like these. In August, the U.N. declared a “code red for humanity” over climate change and overpopulation, and analysts at investment bank Morgan Stanley stated that the “movement to not have children owing to fears over climate change is growing.”

However, a demographic study funded by the Gates Foundation and published in the Lancet, a medical journal, paints a much different picture. This study, conducted by researchers at the University of Washington, predicts that the global human population will peak at 9.7 billion within several decades, and then start to decline. “Once global population decline begins,” the authors write, “it will probably continue inexorably.”

The Lancet study projects that by the end of this century, China will have shrunk by 668 million people, losing almost half of its current population, and India will lose 290 million. Despite all efforts to reverse this trend in China, including eliminating the one-child policy and providing incentives for child-rearing, couples are not cooperating; China experienced its fifth consecutive record low birth rate in 2021.

Findings like these are the basis for Tesla/SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s statement in May that “civilization is going to crumble” from the loss of so many people.

Musk had previously declared at a speaking event in 2019 that “the biggest problem the world will face in 20 years is population collapse.”

Jack Ma, co-founder of Alibaba Group, also present at the event, said, “I agree.”

Manoj Pradhan, economist and co-author of “The Great Demo-

graphic Reversal,” predicts that population loss will bring dramatic economic, political, and societal changes. “The future is going to look very, very different from the past,” he said. Some of the things we are experiencing today, such as high inflation, labor shortages, and the sacrifice of economic wellbeing to protect the elderly and the vulnerable, offer a “peek into the future.”

The most populous countries in the world today are China and India, both with about 1.4 billion people, together comprising onethird of the world’s population. The United States is a distant third, with 330 million. Indonesia, Pakistan, Brazil, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Russia, and Japan round out the top 10.

According to the Lancet and other studies, populations will soon start to fall throughout Asia and South America, catching up with chronic declines that are already taking place in Europe. Simultaneously, Africa will be one of the few areas that continue to grow their population, though even in Africa growth rates are falling. Nigeria is projected to gain 585 million people by the end of this century, becoming the world’s second-most populated country after India, with China falling to third and the United States falling to fourth. Japan, Russia, and Brazil will soon drop out of the top 10 altogether.

The key discrepancy between those who project rapid expansion and those who predict decline centers on fertility rates. Dr. Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson, co-authors of “Empty Planet: The Shock of Global Population Decline,” combed through global fertility data and traveled across six continents speaking with people throughout Asia, Africa, South America, and the West. What they discovered concurs with the Lancet Study; both statistically and anecdotally, birth rates around the world are significantly below what the U.N. has projected.

Driving the population collapse is what Bricker and Ibbitson call the “fertility trap.” For a country to sustain its population, women must have an average birth rate of 2.1 children. Once a country’s fertility rate falls below 2.1, it never comes back.

In 2020, the U.S. fertility rate was 1.6, the lowest rate in America’s history and a sharp decline from 3.7 in 1960. Europe’s average fertility rate is 1.5. Among other top-10 countries, the Lancet Study reports that Japan’s fertility rate is currently 1.3. China’s fertility rate ranges from 1.3 to 1.5, depending on the source, but some estimates put it as low as 1.15.

Russia’s fertility rate is 1.6.

Deaths substantially outnumber births in Russia today, and it is projected to lose up to one-third of its population by 2050. A January Foreign Policy report stated that Russia’s loss of population means it will soon struggle to field enough soldiers for a major military conflict, likely a factor behind its recent threats to use nuclear weapons.

In 1960, the average woman worldwide had 5.2 children. Today that number has fallen to 2.4 and is projected to decline to 2.2 by 2050, barely at replacement level across the globe. By 2100, the Lancet predicts global fertility will be 1.66, taking into account current trends of urbanization, women’s education, workforce participation, and access to birth control.

Going from a birth rate of 5 to a birth rate below 2, writes Stanford University Economist Charles I. Jones, is the difference between “exponential growth in both population and living standards and an empty planet, in which incomes stagnate and the population vanishes.” Jones’ March 2022 report, titled “Consequences of a Declining Population,” describes what he calls the “empty planet result,” featuring not only a decline in human prosperity, but also a depletion of culture, ideas, and innovation.

“Economic growth stagnates as the stock of knowledge and living standards settle down to constant values,” Jones writes. “Meanwhile, the population itself falls at a constant rate, gradually emptying the planet of people.”

For countries below the replacement rate, immigration can help sustain their population for a time, but there are few countries that allow significant immigration and even fewer that are managing it effectively. The global drop in fertility, however, means that even countries like the United States and Canada, which have been growing their populations through immigration, may soon hit their peaks as well.

While a future with fewer people may have environmental benefits, one demographic problem is that, as humanity shrinks, the composition of societies changes dramatically.

Longevity is a key factor slowing the population collapse—the average human lifespan has increased from 51 years in 1960 to 73 years today. The Lancet predicts that by century’s end there will be 2.4 billion people older than 65, compared with only 1.7 billion under the age of 20. The median age worldwide has gone up from 22 years in 1960 to 30 years today, and is projected to increase to 41 years by 2100.

A large portion of the earth’s population will be older, beyond childbearing age, and more depen-

dent on an ever-shrinking pool of productive young people to care for them in retirement. This inverse pyramid of the few supporting the many is most likely unsustainable.

One phrase that is commonly used by researchers regarding countries like China is that they are “getting old before they are rich enough to get old.”

Urbanization Demographers say there are several causes of declining fertility rates, but they point to one factor that seems to be driving the rest: urbanization. When people move from the countryside to cities, the economics of having children shifts.

In purely monetary terms, children are no longer a source of labor for farms, etc., but rather an expense. In the United States, the average cost of raising a child to adulthood, not including college expenses, is $267,000. Another consequence of urbanization is that women become educated, employed, independent, and have better access to contraception. Regardless of which country they’re in, women react the same way, by having fewer children and having them later in life.

According to the “Empty Planet” authors, fewer than a third of the world’s people lived in cities in 1960. Today, just over half of the world’s population are urban dwellers; by 2050, that number is expected to increase to more than two-thirds.

Africa is projected to increase from 44 percent urbanized today to 59 percent by 2050, Asia from 52 percent to 66 percent. The rest of the world’s population is already more than 80 percent urbanized.

The U.N. study predicts that China will go from having been 16 percent urban in 1960 to 80 percent urban by 2050. And China’s demographic problems are exacerbated by the fact that its one-child policy, although officially ended in 2016, has created a shortage of women today.

Currently, China has 34 million more males than females, leaving a large portion of its male population now reaching adulthood without the prospect of having a family.

Is Japan our Ffuture?

Some say that if you want to see your future, look at Japan today.

Japan is 92 percent urbanized and its population is shrinking by about half a million people every year.

It is a fairly homogenous society with little immigration, and its marriage and birth rates have declined steadily, leaving it a “super-aged” nation with 20 percent of its population now older than 65. As Japan ages and empties, its economy has stalled and asset values have fallen.

Japan’s Nikkei stock market in-

dex crashed during the 1990s from a high of 39,000 to 20,000, marking the “start of a long adaption from a young, fast-growing economy to an aging, slow-growth new normal,” explained economist Martin Schultz. Japanese stocks never fully recovered; three decades later, the Nikkei index is currently at 27,000.

After rising dramatically for decades, Japan’s per capita GDP flatlined in 1995 and has not grown significantly since. With an aging and declining population, sales of adult diapers in Japan now exceed that of infant diapers, and some of the emptier places in Japan have even taken to posing life-sized dolls in public places to make these locations feel less deserted.

Asked if Japan was our future, Pradhan said “sadly, no, because that would’ve been quite comforting. Japan had its demography turning negative while the rest of the world was swimming in labor.”

Japanese companies were able to prosper through the decline by shifting labor to places with abundant populations, while workers at home developed automation to increase their productivity. Consequently, Japan so far has avoided the inflation and debt levels that shrinking and aging populations will bring.

As countries produce less and dedicate more and more resources to caring for the elderly, Pradhan said, “we’re going to see an increase in debt-to-GDP ratios to the extent that no one has ever imagined.” This will lead to lower growth and chronic inflation. Stagflation could become a permanent feature.

On the positive side, labor shortages will likely lead to higher wages and greater equality among working-age people. And there will be great demand for technologies to replace the more rudimentary tasks and free up human labor.

Pradhan cited the example of the Japanese government providing subsidies for nursing homes to buy robots to carry out the simpler aspects of elderly care. “Japan’s productivity is one source of hope for all of us.” It is also possible that medical breakthroughs could improve the health of the elderly and extend peoples’ productive years, allowing retirement to be pushed later in life.

Another thing that will be in high demand is empathy in taking care of others, which families traditionally had done for parents and grandparents. “I think that’s something that in a mechanized society, we’ve lost,” Pradhan said.

Groundbreaking cancer treatment produces remission in every patient in trial Dylan Housman THE DAILY CALLER

A new cancer treatment resulted in remission for every single patient enrolled in a clinical trial at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Eighteen rectal cancer patients took a new drug from GlaxoSmithKline rather than face brutal treatments like chemotherapy and life-changing surgery, and all eigh-

teen saw their tumors completely disappear, according to the trial results published Sunday in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). It is believed to be the first trial ever conducted in which all subjects became completely cancer-free.

There were no signs of a remaining tumor when the patients were given physical exams, endoscopies, PET scans and M.R.I.’s at the trial’s conclusion. None of the

patients reported adverse reactions to the drug, which is rare in treatments of its type. About 20% of patients who are treated with checkpoint inhibitors, like GlaxoSmithKline’s dostarlimab, have some kind of adverse reaction, according to The New York Times.

“There were a lot of happy tears,” Dr. Andrea Cercek, an oncologist at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, said.

“I believe this is the first time

this has happened in the history of cancer,” said Dr. Luis A. Diaz, the author of the NEJM paper.

Other doctors warned that the trial was small and the results would need to be replicated, but agreed that the treatment showed great promise in treating a cancer with a specific gene mutation which occurs in about 4% of patients.

“Very little is known about the duration of time needed to find

out whether a clinical complete response to dostarlimab equates to cure,” the University of North Carolina’s Dr. Hanna K. Sanoff wrote in an editorial about the study. But she did call it “compelling.”

Harvard Medical School colorectal cancer expert Dr. Kimmie Ng called the results “remarkable” and “unprecedented,” according to the NYT.

Julian Assange case may have serious implications for journalists

Julie Reeder PUBLISHER

Some consider Julian Assange a traitor, while others support him as a hero for his aid to government corruption whistleblowers

worldwide. His years-long hiding out in an Ecuadorian embassy and then the UK to evade extradition to the U.S. for exposing CIA and military secrets could be justice or a blow to the free press, depending on your point of view.

The U.S. would like to lock him up for 175 years. It’s one of the most controversial cases of our time and very important to journalism with possible far reaching implications.

There have been crowds outside wherever he’s been staying and politicians on TV asking for him to be killed.

which he thought the world needed to see to expose government corruption and injustice.

He built Wikileaks so that whistleblowers worldwide would have somewhere to put their information, reports and files. Well, people started giving him files to put online including drone strikes in Yemen, scandals in Peru, corruption in the Arab world, Tibetan uprisings etc.

In 2010, an intelligence officer in Iraq, now known as Chelsea Manning, horrified by what she was seeing, including innocent people and children being targeted and blown up, downloaded classified files and uploaded them to the whistleblower site. She was later arrested and convicted and spent 7 years in prison.

The Hillary Clinton emails and John Podesta files were also dumped on Wikileaks which ended up helping Clinton to lose the Presidency.

The Trump administration decided to pursue Assange under the 1917 Espionage Act which is meant for American military or government employees who get access to files and expose them.

The problem is Assange is neither American nor military.

Assange is being pursued for aiding Manning because he published the whistleblowers files. Because he communicated the documents to the world and published them.

But wait, major newspapers do this every day.

This has potentially far reaching implications for journalists who

publish whistleblower documents and expose corruption. Newspapers allow their contacts who come to them in the public interest to remain anonymous every day in this country.

This case could have a chilling and dangerous effect on free speech and transparency put into place by our founding fathers who knew it was unique and crucial to hold our government and businesses accountable through journalism – real journalism. The kind that takes risk and exposes corruption.

The Biden administration continues to try and get Assange extradited to the US. This case needs to be watched carefully because it will have negative ramifications on journalism overall.

Upgrades to the historic Capitol were made in the 1970s and 80s, but did not include the annex. In 2018, the Legislature authorized construction of a new building.

Like the annex, the new building will house offices of the governor, the Legislature, with added space for committee hearings and caucus meetings.

Last year, executive and legislative offices were relocated to nearby office buildings and the annex is now vacant. Preliminary cost estimates for the replacement project are $506,858,000, with $6,409,000 for a new parking structure and $29,964,000 for a new visitor center.

Some non-structural construction work has begun, but there is no projected date for completion.

Once completed with enhanced visitor access, modernized technology and upgraded safety compliance, the “people’s house” will finally move into the 21st century.

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

Capitol Annex Project update Assemblymember Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

California’s main Capitol building in Sacramento was completed in 1874. It is a historic treasure, but after World War II it became obvious it wasn’t large enough to handle the needs of our growing state. An annex attached to the Capitol was completed in 1952, and at approximately 325,000 square feet, the space problem was solved for decades.

But, problems have developed over the years. The annex was designed to last just 50 years for a parttime Legislature. With six floors,

the annex doesn’t line up with the historic Capitol, which has four.

If you’re in the old building and need to go to a “higher” level in the annex, you have to go downstairs.

Safety issues are a major concern since the building contains hazardous materials like asbestos and lacks adequate fire protection. There are wiring issues, and deteriorating galvanized sewer and drainage lines. The building is overcrowded by modern standards and fails to meet Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility standards. Built long before the computer age, many of the halls are lined with empty wooden phone booths.

Anza’s K-8 middle school recently completed a series of track and field meets at other middle schools with the last meet at the Julian Junior High Invitational Track Meet May 19 at the Julian High School Stadium.

The contests were held in northern San Diego County and southern Riverside County middle schools.

Among the best stewards of the public lands in Southern California are the organized 4x4 enthusiast clubs. From leaving no trace, sticking to the trails and just being responsible, these organizations want to help preserve the state and federal park lands for those that follow in their tire tracks.

Among those the Creeps ‘n’ Jeeps club went a step further, organizing a clean-up day on Thomas Mountain Saturday, May 21.

With the help of several club members, the group fully loaded a trailer with trash found on the trails during their Thomas Mountain Trail Clean-up event.

Temperatures in excess of 100 degrees Fahrenheit are not only uncomfortable, they can be dangerous, especially for the very young or the elderly in the community.

Weather forecasters, such as the US National Weather Service in San Diego, issue heat-related weather warnings to let the public know that a change is on the way.

These alerts consist of two levels. A Heat Advisory means that temperatures may reach 100-105 degrees in the next 72 hours and for people to take precautions.

An Excessive Heat Warning indicates heat index values in the 105-110 degree range within the region. The public is advised to take these warnings seriously.

California holds the record for the hottest temperature ever recorded. On July 10, 1913, it was a blistering 134 degrees Fahrenheit in Furnace Creek, located in Death Valley.

Fortunately, Anza has not experienced anything quite so oppressive, but the 3-digit temps are still a concern, especially from a health standpoint.

Heat-related injuries can seem harmless enough, but too much sun and an overheating body can

be very uncomfortable and even be fatal.

Sunburn is usually a firstdegree burn that injures the top layers of skin that have been exposed to the damaging rays of the sun. This can result in redness and pain. Severe sunburn can even cause swelling, fluid-filled blisters, fever and headaches. Ointments, cool baths or compresses may help relieve the discomfort.

Drinking plenty of water also helps the body recover.

Heat cramps are another overheating illness and usually related to dehydration. Symptoms include increased sweating and painful muscle spasms and cramps of the arms, legs, hands, back and sometimes the abdomen.

Treatment involves removing the person from the heat, offering lots of water and gently massaging the spasming muscles to relieve tightness.

Heat exhaustion is the inability to sweat enough to cool the body efficiently. Extreme fatigue, weakness, dizziness, nausea or vomiting and cold, clammy, pale, red or flushed skin indicates heat exhaustion.

It is very important to immediately get the victim to a cool location, loosen clothing and apply cold compresses. A doctor may need to be consulted if any vomiting continues as the person is cooled.

Heatstroke is the worst heat-related event and can even result in death. It happens when the body is so stressed that it stops sweating yet its temperature continues to rise. Hallucinations, headache, nausea, vomiting, confusion and

eventually delirium or unconsciousness can occur. The skin will be hot, dry, red or flushed.

Heatstroke is a severe medical emergency that can be fatal. Dial 911, remove clothing, place the person in a cool place or even a cold bath until help arrives. Fast action could be the difference between life or death for the victim.

Many common sense methods can be used to lessen the possibility of heat-related illnesses.

Avoid the sun from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., as these are the hottest hours of the day.

Reduce physical activity out-

side during the hottest times.

Avoid eating hot, heavy meals that include lots of protein. These foods increase metabolism and the body’s water consumption, which raises body temperature.

If air conditioning in the home is not available, take a cool bath or shower twice a day and visit air-conditioned public spaces or cool-off locations during the hottest part of the day.

Wear a wide-brimmed hat and light colored, lightweight, loosefitting clothes when outside, as this type of clothing reflects heat and sunlight.

Drink plenty of fluids even if you are not thirsty. Water is best. Avoid alcohol or caffeine drinks since they are diuretics that increase the flow of urine, thus depleting the body of water.

Use sunscreen when going out in the sun. Sunscreens can weaken with age, so make sure the product has not expired.

While summer means heat, it does not mean having to suffer from heat-related illnesses. Be careful and be cool.

Joe Naiman WRITER

Anza’s K-8 middle school recently completed a series of track and field meets at other middle schools with the last meet at the Julian Junior High Invitational Track Meet May 19 at the Julian High School Stadium.

The contests were held in northern San Diego County and southern Riverside County middle schools.

Hamilton Elementary School won 11 of the 32 competitions and Cottonwood Elementary School took first place in three events.

“It was a really good meet,” Hamilton co-coach Janette Rodriguez said.

“It was an amazing experience,” Hamilton co-coach Erick Cardenas said. “All of the kids had an amazing time.”

The meet consisted of eight different events in four divisions. The eight events were the 100-meter dash, 200-meter dash, 400-meter run, 1,600-meter run, 4x100 relay, shot put, long jump and the high jump. Each event had boys’ and girls’ seventh and eighth grade divisions.

Julian took first place as a team.

Hamilton placed second, Cottonwood was third.

Hamilton’s 11 victories were complemented by seven secondplace marks.

“It goes to show how far we came throughout the season and how much we improved,” Cardenas said.

Borrego Middle School and Warner Middle School were unable to participate, but Julian, Rainbow’s Vallecitos Elementary School and Pauma Elementary School in Pauma Valley joined Hamilton and Cottonwood in the meet.

“I’m really glad that we got to be a part of it,” Rodriguez said.

Each athlete was limited to four events. An athlete could compete at a higher grade level. Hamilton had two sixth-graders on the Bobcats’ winning eighth-grade girls 4x100 relay team. Emily Ochoa, Neveah Gray, Azul Cervantes and Kora Carver won that race in 1:03. Ochoa and Carver are sixth-

graders.

Hamilton’s quartet of Addison Hayes, Evalynn Gomez, Cynthia Kanouse and Sawyer Edmisten won the seventh-grade girls 4x100 relay in 1:04. Julian finished second at 1:05 and Cottonwood was third with a time of 1:08.

“We only had one day of practice,” Cardenas said of the seventhgrade girls.

Cottonwood had the winning time of 1:04 in the seventh-grade boys 4x100 relay, beating out the 1:05 time of Pauma’s runners.

Julian won the eighth-grade boys race with a time of 56.95 seconds while Cottonwood was second with a 57.54-second performance and Hamilton took third place by completing the race in 57.85 seconds.

Carver also won all three of her individual events. “She’s a very hard worker,” Rodriguez said.

“She has a running background,” Cardenas said.

Only one of Carver’s individual events was a race. Her first-place time in the seventh-grade girls 100-meter dash was 14.06 seconds.

Piper Stafford of Julian finished in 14.98 seconds for second place.

Osuna had a time of 15.34 seconds for third.

Cervantes won the eighth-grade girls 100-meter dash, posting a time of 14.46 seconds. Julian’s Hailey Bennett was second at 14.50 seconds and Gray took third place with a time of 14.51 seconds.

One of Cottonwood’s wins was in the seventh-grade boys 100-meter dash. Dax Steeger won that race with a time of 13.43 seconds.

Carver’s two field event wins were both in the jumping events.

Her 12’3” long jump took first among seventh-grade girls. Izzy Davis-Scholl of Julian was second with a distance of 11 feet 9.5 inches. Osuna had a jump of 10’10” for third.

Bennett won the eighth-grade girls long jump with a distance of 12’5” while Hamilton took second and third with Gray jumping 10’0” and Skyy Vollan obtaining a distance of 9’11.” Steeger was second among seventh-grade boys long jumpers with a mark of 12’11.”

Kora Carver closes in on Hamilton’s 4x100 eighth-grade girls relay victory at the Julian Junior High Invitational Track Meet May 19 at the Julian High School stadium.

Hunter Edmisten crosses the finish line to complete his 1,600-meter victory at the Julian Junior High Invitational Track Meet on May 19 at the Julian High School stadium

Carver cleared 4’1” in the seventh-grade girls high jump to outdistance Julian’s Penelope Lynch, whose second-place height was 3’7.”

In the other field event, Cottonwood’s Zach Cerillo threw a shot put 37’0” for first place among eighth-grade boys. Hamilton took second place in the other three divisions. Cervantes had an eighthgrade girls throw of 29 feet 0.5 inches, Ismael Castellanos landed a seventh-grade boys attempt 27 feet 9 inches past the throwing circle and Kanouse had a seventh-grade girls distance of 22 feet 1 inch.

Castellanos won the seventhgrade boys 200-meter dash in 31.34 seconds, which was more than a second faster than the 32.40-second time Julian’s Mason

Stanley achieved for second place.

In the seventh-grade girls division, Osuna was second at 31.34 seconds (Julian’s Paisley Mendenhall, whose great-grandfather ran track for the University of Southern California, had the winning time of 30.71 seconds) and Edmisten took third with a time of 32.81 seconds.

Both Edmisten siblings placed in that event; Hunter Edmisten had the third-place eighth-grade boys time of 28.29 seconds. Cervantes finished her 200 meters in 31.39 seconds for second among eighthgrade girls.

The Edmisten siblings both won their 1,600-meter races. Hunter Edmisten had an eighth-grade boys time of 5:44 to beat out the second-place time of 5:45 posted

by Julian’s Temet Borello. Sawyer

Edmisten completed the seventhgrade girls metric mile in 6:56 (Mendenhall was in the eighthgrade girls race and had a winning time of 6:33).

Hunter Edmisten won the 400-meter run for eighth-grade boys, finishing in 1:02. Hamilton also took first in the eighth-grade girls division as Deanna Bailey posted a time of 1:20.32 to beat out Davis-Scholl and her time of 1:20.73. Sawyer Edmisten was second among seventh-grade girls at 1:17.

“They all did a great job,” Rodriguez said. “I’m really happy that they got out there.”

Hamilton had a total of 18 athletes. “I’m extremely proud of them,” Cardenas said. “They went all out.”

Cal Fire’s OV-10A Bronco 310 orbits the skies over wildfires Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

High above the smoke column emitted by a wildfire, a lone aircraft orbits, twin turbo-prop engines droning firefighters below a welcome tune. Other firefighting aircraft swarm almost like a wellplanned ballet in the air beneath it.

Cal Fire’s OV-10A Bronco Air Attack 310 directs resources to battle fires. Air tankers and helitack forces are guided as they drop a Phos-chek fire retardant and water on the inferno.

Manufactured by North American-Rockwell in Columbus, Ohio, 310 was originally built for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, and served from 1968-1993. OV-10A aircraft were used as counterinsurgency aircraft and close air support for military ground forces.

In 1993, 310 and 14 other OV10As were acquired from the Department of Defense and converted for use as air attack planes. These aircraft are replacing the Cessna O-2As that Cal Fire had been using as the air attack platform.

According to Cal Fire, the OV10As are newer, larger and faster, providing a larger field of vision for the crew and are more maneuverable than the older Cessnas.

The OV-10As command and control all aircraft on wildland fires. The plane’s air crew consists of a pilot and an Air Tactical Group Supervisor. They provide tactical coordination with the ground-based Incident Commander, transmitting data and information on the movement and spread of the fire.

The crew then directs air tanker and helicopter pilots on where to make their retardant and water drops to best fight the flames.

Each OV-10A weighs 10,500 pounds, has a maximum speed of 250 mph and a cruising speed of 230 mph. The plane has a range of 1,000 miles, powered by two Garrett T-76 turbines.

Painted in Cal Fire’s bright red and white color scheme, the plane often arrives at the fire before other resources to report and direct. The unique drone sound of the powerful twin engines alerts civilians on the ground of the threat of wildfire.

A welcome sight in smoky skies, Cal Fire’s OV-10A Bronco 310 continues to be a valuable tool in the battle to squelch Southern California wildland blazes.

COURTS & CRIMES

Student suspected of threatening violence at middle school arrested City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A 13-year-old girl suspected of threatening to perpetrate violence against staff and students at a Menifee middle school was arrested Friday, June 3.

Menifee police Capt. Dave Gutierrez said that during the ongoing investigation into social media messages that indicated plans for a shooting or similar attacks at Hans Christensen Middle School, detectives tracked down the source – a female student.

The girl, whose identity was not disclosed due to her age, was taken into custody without incident and booked into Riverside Juvenile Hall on suspicion of threatening unlawful violence upon the grounds of a school, a felony.

“It was determined that the evidence obtained during the investigation was sufficient for the criminal charge,” Gutierrez said.

No firearms or other weapons were seized during the investigation.

Gutierrez alleged that a search of the juvenile’s digital devices

Menifee teen who threatened to shoot school and kids arrested, ‘ghost gun’ found City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

and one of her social media accounts confirmed that she was the sender.

Menifee Union School District administrators were alerted to the social media post Wednesday, June 1, at the Sherman Road campus.

Gutierrez said patrol officers were immediately dispatched to the location and initiated an investigation, determining that whoever posted the threat quickly deleted it; however, school officials obtained a screenshot before it was taken down and provided it to police.

Gutierrez said after completing their preliminary investigation, “detectives ... deemed the threat to be non-credible.”

The police representative said that since the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, recently multiple law enforcement agencies have experienced a rise in reports about threats of violence.

“MPD wants the public to know that all threats, whether specific, implied or otherwise that cause fear in our community will not be tolerated,” he said.

Temecula man suspected of sexually assaulting woman City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A 43-year-old Temecula man suspected of sexually assaulting a woman was out of custody Thursday, June 2, on a $55,000 bond.

Thabit Jubran was arrested and booked into the Robert Presley Jail in Riverside Wednesday on suspicion of forcible rape and penetration with a foreign object.

Jubran posted bail within hours and was released from jail.

According to Riverside County

sheriff’s Sgt. Jeff Reese, the alleged assault occurred in January at an undisclosed location. No details of the alleged attack were released.

After receiving a report from the alleged victim, detectives initiated an investigation that led to an arrest warrant being served on the suspect. He was taken into custody without incident on Morgan Hill Drive in Temecula, according to jail records.

Background information on Jubran was unavailable.

A 17-year-old boy was arrested in Menifee after he allegedly threatened a school shooting on social media and was later found to be in possession of an unregistered firearm, police said Sunday, June 5.

Investigators said the threats were sent via social media and mentioned shooting up a “school” and “kids.”

Although the threats did not mention a specific school, the

messages were ostensibly so concerning that others who saw them contacted police.

Authorities said the teen is a senior at Heritage High School in Menifee.

He was arrested Saturday after detectives served a search warrant at his home and allegedly found a “ghost gun” and a pair of brass knuckles in his possession.

It’s unclear how the boy obtained the gun, which police said appeared to have been built from a kit. Guns built from such kits are sometimes called 80% guns be-

cause they are not fully assembled and are therefore able to bypass certain legal restrictions. Such weapons are available online and allow anyone to finish the assembly of a gun containing no serial number, and allows the buyer to get around a background check.

The high school student, who was not publicly identified, was booked into Riverside County Juvenile Hall on suspicion of making criminal threats, possession of brass knuckles and possession of an unregistered firearm.

Felon accused of killing girlfriend, fleeing to Vegas to stand trial City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A convicted felon from Lake Elsinore accused of fatally shooting his girlfriend and then fleeing to Las Vegas, where he was apprehended holding his and the victim’s 2-year-old son, must stand trial for murder and other offenses, a judge ruled Friday, June 3.

Celestine John Stoot Jr., 43, allegedly killed 43-year-old Natasha Denise Barlow of San Jacinto last July.

Following a preliminary hearing at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta, Riverside County Superior Court Judge Timothy Freer found there was sufficient evidence to warrant a trial for the defendant on the murder count,

as well as child cruelty, being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, being a convicted felon in possession of ammunition and sentence-enhancing gun and great bodily injury allegations.

The judge scheduled a postpreliminary hearing arraignment for June 20 and ordered that the defendant remain held without bail at the Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta.

On the morning of July 4, Stoot got into a domestic dispute with Barlow, culminating in his allegedly gunning her down and snatching their son, also named Celestine, from her residence in the 17000 block of Hayes Avenue, according to sheriff’s Sgt. Deanna Pecoraro.

She said that patrol deputies

were called to the location hours later and found the victim dead.

Detectives immediately identified Stoot as the alleged assailant and suspected that he had fled with his son, but no one was certain where. A statewide Amber Alert was issued, asking the public to be on the lookout for the felon and child.

Authorities captured Stoot with his son in Las Vegas the following afternoon. The fugitive was taken into custody without incident, and the boy, who was unharmed, was immediately returned to Southern California, where he was placed in the care of loved ones.

According to court records, the defendant has prior convictions for gun assault, domestic violence and witness intimidation.

Two suspected of selling fentanyl, meth arrested in Temecula City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A man and woman suspected of dealing fentanyl and other narcotics were arrested during a traffic stop in Temecula, authorities said last week.

Richard Dennis Murphy, 36, and Lisa Marie Wehus, 34, both of Temecula, were arrested Thursday, June 2, on suspicion of possession of narcotics for sale, transportation of

controlled substances for sale, possession of drug paraphernalia and committing a felony while on bail.

Each is being held on $70,000 bail; Murphy at the Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta and Wehus at the Smith Correctional Facility in Banning.

According to Riverside County Sheriff’s Sgt. Sean Liebrand, about 1 p.m. Thursday, patrol deputies stopped the vehicle that Murphy was driving in the 28000 block of

Jefferson Avenue for an unspecified traffic violation.

Murphy and Wehus were detained for questioning, culminating in a search of the car, which resulted in “a large amount of fentanyl, methamphetamine, paraphernalia, digital scales and a replica handgun” being seized, Liebrand said.

The pair were taken into custody without incident.

Background information on the suspects was unavailable.
