A fresco, painted by muralist Milford Zornes, was recently rejuvenated by select students from the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles.

Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

It was an idea believed to be born in 1941, just after the bombs dropped on Pearl Harbor.

It was inspired by muralist Milford Zornes, an instructor at the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles (now Otis College of Art and Design), who was contacted by the Ramona Pageant Association members to paint a 16- by 18-foot mural with scenes from the “Ramona” outdoor play.

Nearly 75 years later, the huge fresco of Ramona and her lover, Alessandro, is once again brilliantly alive with the last finishing touches of its rejuvenation being completed before the bowl and amphitheater will open again after COVID-19.

When guests and play goers enter the venue, they will find the entire wall filled with scenes from the play that began in 1921 and

earned worldwide recognition.

The fresco, today, is called a fine art by members of the Getty Institute. It is a rare piece of art painted by Milford Zornes and some select students from the Otis Art Institute. It is a priceless and one-of-a-kind Zornes “buon fresco” where the paint used was absorbed by the plaster in the wall and can last as long as the plaster stands.

The history of the fresco at the Ramona Bowl is fascinating in itself, written by the late, published historian Phil Brigandi and others such as Hal Baker, Zornes’ son-inlaw, (see Facebook) more recently.

When a person sees the art piece now it is hard to believe that a large part of it was painted over with white paint, the rest faded and scarred and hidden from the public behind a stairwell in the bowl museum’s storage room. It see FRESCO, page A-6

The desire to create a foundation to help others began many years ago for a Murrieta family, who share strong roots of faith and volunteerism.

“Our family believes in upholding education, giving back and paying it forward,” Maria-Kassandra Endaya Coronel said. “When COVID-19 changed the lives of countless around the world, our family wanted to do their part and help change the lives of others for the better. We established the Coronel-Endaya Foundation during this time to help make a difference.”

Incorporated in July 2020, the charitable organization received

its nonprofit status in October.

Maria-Kassandra said that being a humble Filipino family, they wanted to reach out and help Indigenous people who still live in the Philippines as well as those of Filipino descent living in local communities. The Foundation offers scholarships for collegebound students and one for those who want to become notary publics. It also supports scholarships for the Filipino American Lawyers of San Diego.

Her family also believes in the importance of being in the health care field, with Maria-Kassandra already a Doctor of Medicine, having completed her undergraduate pre-med studies at UCLA with a see NONPROFIT, page A-8

Menifee Council approves design, engineering and architectural agreement for Central Park Amphitheater Fiscal year 2021-2022 budget approved Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

A $445,103 professional services agreement with T.Y. Lin International for design, engineering and architectural services for the Central Park Amphitheater in downtown Menifee was approved in a 4 to 1 vote of the Menifee City Council.

The vote, with the only dissent from Mayor Bill Zimmerman, will give a green light for the initial design, engineering and architectural services for the proposed covered $3.9 million amphitheater in the larger park near the site of the future city hall off busy Newport Road. The initial architecture design proposed by T.Y. Lin has a huge lighted curved dome above an already cemented stage structure.

T.Y. Lin, also the designer of other Menifee major Capital Improvement Plan structures, will charge $243,218 to include project management, engineering and design consulting; another $179,445 will include electrical and interior architecture and structural engineering.

Following completion of the design, engineering and architectural process, a sealed bid process will be completed to award a contract for the construction of the amphitheater.

The dissenting vote cast by Zimmerman questioned the initial cost of the project, in particular the professional services agreement with T.Y. Lin without putting out the bids to other similar firms. He did not question the possible value of the amphitheater to the residents who could use the stage for local programs and special events as other members of the council pointed out.

“My concern remains the final price. The price tag exceeds what many concern to be fiscally responsible. It exceeds that. It’s too much,” Zimmerman said in his perspective. He added he was also concerned about having only one sole contractor bidding on any project. He said there should have been a cap (limit) on how much the city had to spend on the project.

He saw a cap on the project to be $3 million. “$4 million is too much,” he said, referring to the cap he suggested on the project. “That way they (contractors) know the limit.”

Zimmerman did offer praise to the other council members and somewhat reluctantly said, “I will go along with the other council members.” He still was against the project in the final design, engineering and architectural services vote that was called that evening.

The district members of the

council in the discussion gave their perspectives on the issue.

Councilman Dean Deines said the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions have people looking for more recreation and outdoor activities and the Amphitheater project will help fulfill that desire. He said the council should be aware of the people’s desires. “That is what we are here for,” Deines said. “It is good for those who like the fine arts. The amphitheater is a part of that … It is a great outdoor experience.”

Councilman Matt Liesemeyer said the Amphitheater should go ahead now; if not, he warned that the cost could go up. “I am really in favor of the project. It is a statement for the city...it brings tremendous value to the city.”

Mayor Pro Tem Lesa Sobeck noted the public comments, save a few written and relayed to the council, were in favor of the Amphitheater. That evening three residents in the meeting spoke for the project while only one was opposed to it. Sobek said she received emails from almost all of them in favor. “Eleven emails on the subject were in favor by a majority,” she said after she read some of them to the council, including one that stated: “This would be a perfect venue.”

Councilman Bob Karwin asked

about the final price and heard the bids for the actual construction had yet to go out. The cost of the project was seen as the almost $4 million price. “Will we still be able to vote on this?” he asked.

Jonathan Nicks, director of community services presenting the project, responded “yes.” He said he was pleased that part of the cost of the project was coming from an agreement with Waste Management who in their contract offered a large amount of money for projects for the city which was placed in reserve.

Following the discussion, council members voiced an agreement with Zimmerman that in the future all projects should go out to bid to any company capable or interested in capital improvement projects like the Amphitheater.

The funding breakdown for the Amphitheater project is proposed in the city’s newly approved budget. It includes $450,000 from the General Fund, $450,000 from Developer Public Facility Impact Fees, $450,000 from DIF Parks fees, Capital Projects $59,031, $558,000 from a Joint CFD Town Center account, and $2,015,729 from the Waste Management Reserve Account. The project costs and financial impact of the Amphitheater is being reviewed by Keyser Marston Associates.

Police seek help retracing steps of Menifee woman who died on roadside City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A 68-year-old woman discovered dead on a Menifee roadside was apparently not a victim of foul play. Police are asking anyone who might know how she ended up where she did and why she might have done so, to come forward.

The remains of the woman Sandra Hickam of Menifee, were located shortly before 11 a.m.

Wednesday, June 2, near the intersection of Chambers Avenue and Menifee Road, according to Menifee police Lt. Denise Keith.

Passersby spotted the body at the opening of a storm channel and called 911. Patrol officers reached the location moments later and summoned coroner’s officials, who could find “no signs of foul play,”’ Keith said.

“Detectives received information that community members in the area ... may have had contact with Ms. Hickam while she was walking,” the lieutenant said.

She said investigators are still attempting to piece together the period immediately preceding the woman’s death, and anyone with information was asked to contact them.

An autopsy was pending to identify the exact cause of death.

Soboba veterans remembered on Memorial Day

Soboba Youth Council members Tatiana Briones, Iyana Briones and Ciara Ramos carry flags to veterans’ gravesites at the Soboba Cemetery ahead of a Memorial Day ceremony there.

Valley News/ S ob ob a B and of L ui señ o I nd i ans p h ot os

U.S. Women’s Air Force veteran Theresa Seaton is assisted by Soboba Firefighters in raising the American flag during a Memorial Day ceremony at Soboba Cemetery on May 31.

A memorial at the Soboba Cemetery was the site for a ceremony honoring the memory of tribal veterans.

Following a 10 a.m. Memorial Day Mass at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church at the Soboba Reservation, visitors made their way to the Veterans Memorial at the far end of the Soboba Cemetery to pay their respects during a Memorial Day Flag Raising ceremony on May 31.

Dedicated “to the memory of the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians and non-tribal members who gave their all for us” the permanent shrine was decorated with a wreath and potted flowers in patriotic colors.

Soboba Parks and Recreation Director Andy Silvas, who is also cocoordinator for the Soboba Youth

Council, explained the annual ceremony is held “in memory and honor of those that gave their lives in service to this country so that we may have the freedoms that we have today.” He then introduced Father Earl Henley from St. Joseph’s, who offered a blessing.

“Our common Christian concern has brought us together to bless this (memorial) marker and pause for a moment in the silence of our heart, praying for those who have gone before us,” he said. “For all the soldiers, it is with reverence that we visit this sacred shrine on this special day and leave a wreath of worship at this monument.”

Youth Council members and cousins Emma Valenzuella, 16, and Jocie Yepa, 15, took turns reading the last roll call, a military tradition that pays honor to deceased soldiers. Emma’s great-grandfather, Paul Valenzuella, served in the U.S. Marine Corps and was one of the names on the list that was read. Edwin Muro, who has been on youth council for three years, said both his grandfather, Bruce Cozart and grandmother, Gloria Cozart, served in the U.S. Air Force.

Soboba Tribal members Gloria Cozart, Jessie Gilmore and Theresa Seaton all enlisted in the U.S. Women’s Air Force at the same time. Seaton, who served from 1949 to 1952, was on hand Monday to assist with the flag raising alongside Soboba Fire Captain Gabe Herrera, Firefighter/Paramedic Keith Navarre and Firefighter Engineer Andrew Chavez.

At dawn, members of the Soboba Fire Department had raised the American flag, located on the center flagpole behind the memorial, to full staff position and then slowly lowered it to half-staff to honor America’s fallen servicemen and women. During the ceremony, the flag was raised quickly to full staff in recognition of living military veterans who served their country.

The flag remained at full staff until sunset. The crew did the same flag raising at their station, located at the Soboba Reservation.

Soboba Tribal Chairman Isaiah Vivanco, whose father served in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War, said it was great to see Soboba’s youth work with tribal elders to remember all tribal members who served in the Armed Forces.

“They’re sharing our history,” he said. “On behalf of the Tribal Council, I want to thank you all for coming today and helping us remember our fellow tribal members. A special thanks goes to Marian Chacon who has been working with our youth council to identify the graves of those who lie within our cemetery and have served in our armed forces. It’s (a project) that our youth has taken on and we are really appreciative of them doing that.”

Soboba Youth Council members on hand to prepare for and conduct the Memorial Day ceremony were Iyana and Tatiana Briones, Edwin Muro, Ciara and Jeremiah Ramos, Nashashuk Resvaloso, Aimee and Emma Valenzuella, and Jocie Yepa.

Breanna Chavez, Zachary Guacheno and Akwaalimay Resvaloso joined youth council members on the morning of May 28 to prepare the Soboba Cemetery for Monday’s ceremony. Working with an aerial view map, Silvas directed the young men and women to the more than 50 gravesites of veterans that are buried there so a flag could be placed in their honor. They also took time to spruce up the sites, and employees from Soboba Public Works and the Soboba Fire Department raked up leaves, branches and debris that had been deposited on the paths between the gravesites.

U.S. Navy veteran Benny Helms, who served six years during the Vietnam War, said having the youth host a Memorial Day ceremony showed a lot of respect for all the veterans and he was glad to see them step up.

Soboba Youth Council Chairwoman Iyana Briones concluded the ceremony by inviting all guests to drive to the Sports Complex and pick up a to-go brunch meal, prepared by Thomas Catering of San Jacinto. Youth Council members bagged the items and delivered them to vehicles that drove through

Two men sought in attempted robbery and shooting at Hemet auto parts store Hemet Police are continuing their search for two men who shot a man and escaped in an attempted robbery of O’Reilly Auto Parts, 849 W. Florida Ave. in Hemet Thursday night, June 3.

Hemet police reported a man at the scene said the still unidentified victim was knocked down and shot in an attempt to stop the robbers. The victim was transported to a local hospital by AMR for treatment of a gunshot wound to the shoulder.

A Hemet police officer rushing to the scene was involved in a non-injury traffic collision. The officer and civilian in the other vehicle were not injured in the accident, according to witness reports.

There was no immediate report of his condition. The attempted robbery was reported about 10

p.m. near the store’s closing.

Hemet police, using a description of two Black men escaping from the scene of the robbery

running south on Florida Ave., began a search of the area. The Riverside County Sheriff’s helicopter and Hemet Police said they

searched the area, but no suspects were located.

Anyone having information about the attempted robbery and

shooting are urged to call the Hemet Police Department at (951) 765-2400.

Pride to be celebrated in the San Jacinto Valley

Kameron and Ashley Hanson at the second annual Hemet Pride at Tahquitz High School in 2019, the last in-person event. It was held virtually last year due to the pandemic and will be virtual again this V a l l e y N e w s/ C o u r t e sy p h o t o year.

Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The fourth annual Hemet Pride celebration for the LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,Transgender and Queer) community will be held virtually on June 25. “Resilience, Resistance & Rebirth” is the overlying message for the 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. event. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, it will be virtual again this year with two live panel discussions. The first will be a youth panel followed by an adult panel. There will be time scheduled after each for guests to

engage with the panelists.

Brenda Scott, Executive Director for NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Mt. San Jacinto, said her group chose to start organizing and hosting this awareness event four years ago because they saw a need in the San Jacinto Valley. It has since grown to include a wide variety of supporters from throughout the region, some with professional reasons for getting involved and some personal. Ashley Hanson has both.

As the mother of a bi-gender child, Kameron, she welcomed the opportunity to participate every

year. A Hemet resident off and on her entire life, she feels it is important for the entire LGBTQ+ community to know “We see you, support you, and value you!”

Hanson said the goal of this annual event is to provide a safe and accepting environment where members of the community can come to celebrate their cherished individuality and have an opportunity to learn the history and pioneers who paved the way for LGBTQ+ rights and civil liberties.

She said Hemet Pride offers a time and place “where youth can be themselves and see that they are a vital thread in the fabric of our beautiful community.”

As an employee of Riverside University Health System-Behavioral Health, Hanson wanted to be a part of bringing visibility, acceptance, education and resources to the area.

“I believe that the greatest ‘mental health issue’ that affects the LGBTQIA+ community (regardless of age) is the anxiety, depression, and isolation caused by their experiences of rejection, hate, and discrimination caused by their families and surrounding community members,” Hanson said.

“Could you imagine being told all the time ‘You are wrong or sinful’ for just being yourself?”

She has found past Hemet Pride events to be very impactful and looks forward to the same for this

year. Her favorite experience was at the last in-person event in 2019 when every youth who attended got up and walked up to the stage and waited in line for their turn at the microphone.

“Every single youth told their truth,” Hanson said. “They identified with their pronouns, struggles, and for some it was their very first time ever having the opportunity and safety to ‘come out.’ It took over an hour for every youth to share and be free for the first time in their life. I was in tears to see this unfold right before my eyes. I was a proud ‘Momma Bear’ in that very moment; every kid deserves to be that free and safe.”

Mita Beach is on the Hemet Pride planning committee and is part of the team handling the production and coordination of the livestream. As a Trans Navigator Specialist at Borrego Health in Cathedral City, Beach said its San Jacinto Health Center (branch) has been offering healthcare to the local community for many years and has recently gone through a substantial expansion process that allowed for the provision of many more services.

“Now, in addition to primary care, family practice, women’s health, behavioral health, and pediatrics, San Jacinto Health Center has the ability to provide several services to the LGBTQIA+ community and the general community, including STI and HIV testing and treatment and PrEP and

PEP medication,” Beach said. “For the trans community, we are proud to provide full-scope primary care and specialty services, including behavioral health.”

Hanson said while she has seen more visibility and acceptance given to the LGBTQ+ community in the San Jacinto Valley, the area is still very conservative which she says she values and respects. However, she said access to appropriate health care, behavioral health and support groups needs to increase in order to reduce the prevalence of homelessness, substance abuse and runaways.

“Everyone should attend this event,” Hanson said. “Even if someone isn’t an Ally (supporter of LGBTQ people), at least come to learn about the needs of others.

Give us the opportunity to build the bridge between us and our hearts.”

Beach thinks the best way for people to become more accepting and understanding of those in the LGBTQ+ community is to provide an ongoing investment in supporting others by remembering that “Allyship is a verb.”

Scott said that in addition to the panel discussions, there will be entertainment to celebrate June 2021 Pride month.

Toasted Oak

Winery

We had a delightful afternoon at the tasting room visiting with Roger and tasting some of the wonderful red wines and Lime Cello they produce locally! Toasted Oak Winery is a mom and pop operation that began as a retirement hobby. Roger and Marcia bought the burned out parcel that would become their vineyard in 2008, naming their future winery after the one surviving tree on the property, a “toasted” oak tree. Nine years later, after clearing, planting the vines, and building the winery, they were able to open their tasting room for business.

Incoming VFW Post 1508 Post Commander Charles W. Golden III addresses the crowd gathered for Wildomar’s annual Memorial Day Service at the Wildomar Cemetery.

was hidden at its lower portion by stacks of files and other museum goods. A forgotten masterpiece. To see it before it was rejuvenated by a special art restorer, a person had to be only feet away or on a stairwell that now has been removed.

There were times, according to the pageant association’s minutes, when its restoration was discussed, but the costs estimated at $25,000 to $50,000 then were too high to be approved in those times and it remained hidden and covered. The initial art was completed only at a cost of $250.

It is because of World War II that the fresco, believed to have been completed in 1942 but not seen until 1943 because of war restrictions, according to Baker’s account of the records. It was the only time the Ramona Pageant was cancelled until 2020 and this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

More recently, the association has held a number of fundraisers.

In 2013, there was one for the fresco at the Ramona Bowl with members of the Otis Art Institute, the iLia Anossov Fresco School, artists and gallery owners where the fresco was described as a “National Treasure” and given a rough value estimate of $2.5 million. A major contributor to the fresco’s rejuvenation recently was from the Marilyn Latham Estate who saw the historic significance of the fresco at the Ramona Bowl, located on Ramona Bowl Drive in Hemet.

Following the fundraisers, the Association in February of this year hired Anossov and Elisabetta Covizzi, an art conservator from the Fresco School, to begin work on restoring the fresco. They had to build scaffolding to reach the top of the fresco before work could begin. The top of the fresco was still in good condition and only had to be cleaned but the work became more intense as she moved down the fresco. Scratches appeared, bolts were drilled into walls and other damage was found. She spent

hours, sometimes with a tiny brush to clean and revive the colors, according to organization members.

About three-quarters of the way down, the fresco was completely covered with white paint making the job even more difficult.

Only a few weeks ago the extreme bottom portion of the fresco was brought back to life.

The work is nearly complete at this time. A small plaque is installed to thank the Latham Estate for helping with the restoration.

Special lighting has been installed in the windowless, dark room enhancing the view of the fresco. A barrier has been installed to keep people from touching it.

It is the hope of the Ramona Pageant Association that the amphitheater will be open again for special events and in 2022 for the Ramona Outdoor Play to be put on again, a signature event of Hemet.

At that time the public will be able to see the splendor of the Zornes’ fresco as it appeared more than three quarters of a century ago.

NONPROFIT from page A- 1 Bachelor of Science in Psychobiology. She was an Alumni Scholar under the UCLA Foundation Scholarship (2010-2014) and then matriculated to the Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas, Faculty of Medicine and Science in the Philippines, for medicine proper.

“I have always wanted to be a part of something larger than myself, and to maximize the gifts that I have been blessed with,” she said.

“I feel like medicine, and health care as a whole, is one of the most selfless, demanding and yet the most rewarding careers that I could hope to make an impact in.”

Her parents, Marisa Endaya Coronel and Tomas Eleazar Coronel, are nurses, as is her sister, Mia-Kyla Endaya Coronel, who serves as the Foundation’s secretary. At 24, Mia-Kyla completed her Bachelor of Science in Nursing at UCLA where she was a representative at the AACN Nursing Policy Summit in Washington D.C. and advocated for programs addressing health care disparities.

“She graduated with Latin Honors, Cum Laude, and started her career as a neuro-trauma nurse,” Maria-Kassandra, 28, said of her younger sister. “In this capacity, she was bestowed with a number of awards for her excellent bedside care. She is currently a traumacertified ICU nurse in San Diego, caring for a diverse patient population with complex injuries and comorbidities – the vast majority of which are considered traditionally marginalized (e.g., homeless,

immigrants, mentally ill and lowincome), and many of whom have been positive with COVID-19. She was recently accepted to SDSU’s competitive Advanced Primary Care Nurse Practitioner program, where she will be working toward her Master of Science in Nursing degree this fall.”

Maria-Kassandra was recently accepted to Harvard Medical School’s Global Clinical Scholars Research Training program, on a merit scholarship, and will be part of an international cohort of physician-scientists from around the globe. Her training begins this summer.

As the Foundation’s chief executive officer, she credits her parents with helping her and her sister achieve so much.

“Our parents are our pillars of support, without which we would not be standing,” Maria-Kassandra said. “They have supported us in all our endeavors, including (starting this foundation). They have helped us in reaching out to donors, packing and shipping the boxes, creating partnerships and everything in between.”

She said her parents are immigrants from the Philippines, where they grew up in very poor villages with limited access to higher education. They instilled in their daughters the importance of giving back to their communities, whether in the Philippines or in their own neighborhood.

“Our family participated in a medical mission in 2006 in the Philippines, which inspired us to continue giving back to indigent communities,” Maria-Kassandra

said. “Both my sister and I, being in the medical field, often work with low-income, uninsured, and underserved individuals and are always wanting to give back to them any way that we can.”

Marisa Endaya Coronel and Tomas Eleazar Coronel said they hope that when people look at the Coronel-Endaya Foundation, they recognize the importance of having kinship with people. They also hope that all the individuals that are helped through the foundation, particularly the young students, will be empowered to positively impact the world, spread kindness and affect change. They want them all to have a chance to uplift their lives and the lives of others around them.

Maria-Kassandra said, “Knowing that every minute that I devote myself to the people of my world, establishing those meaningful connections among patients and their families and advocating a more holistic treatment plan, is a minute that holds the potential for changing lives, and making the world better for having been here. My whole family strives to live by that statement.”

During the pandemic, unable to host any in-person fundraisers, the family personally reached out to other family members, friends and neighbors who were willing to help support the foundation through donations, spreading awareness and prayers. There is also a Facebook page where updates about contributions and donors are posted.

“Thankfully we have been blessed with very compassionate donors from Murrieta, Temecula and all over the world,” MariaKassandra said. “Their generosity has been incredible.”

She said many items such as blankets, clothes, shoes, toys, computers and school supplies have been dropped off at her family’s PostalAnnex business at 31938 Temecula Parkway in Temecula.

“We have several coordinators in the local provinces and schools (in the Philippines) that we communicate with, including schoolteachers,” she said. “They assist us with the distribution of the materials and the communication with the parents of the children to ensure they are enrolled in school with the tuition and other academic-related fees paid by our foundation.”

Dr. Reyeva Cruz Vallente serves food to a child in a small village in the Philippines. The Coronel-Endaya Foundation has partnered with her and her Rotaract branch for several community projects.

very beautiful and handmade by a small group of traditional Sambutan weavers in a small village we help support in the Philippines.”

Mia-Kyla said she is very grateful for the opportunities to help people access and achieve education, no matter their financial circumstances and upbringing “If I were to pass my two cents on to others, it’s that simple acts of kindness can make a big difference in the lives of others,” she said.

For more information, www. coronelendayafoundation.org or on Facebook.

Maria-Kassandra said that thanks to the generosity of donors, the Foundation has been able to surpass its original goals. To date, they have been able to present scholarships to in-need students, provide printers and paper to schools, extend aid to Indigenous people, help feed more than 500 children and donate more than 2,000 pounds of charitable goods to the needy. She said more than half of their volunteers and donations have come from the Murrieta and Temecula areas.

“Every donor will receive a mask as a personal thank you,” MariaKassandra said. “The masks are

The annual Father’s Day Car Cruise n’ Tunes is returning to Murrieta Saturday, June 19, marking its 50th anniversary for the signature event.

“We got the show from the Temecula Valley Car Club some time ago. We took it over and we’ve done it every year up until last year having to switch it to the cruise and then this year continuing the cruise,” Laura Frasso, special events coordinator for the city of Murrieta, said. “We are excited to have all of the specialty vehicles come out for what is one of the favorite events of the city. We are just happy to continue doing it all of these years.”

The event begins at 5 p.m. and will feature a concert at Town Square Park’s brand-new amphitheater, according to the city. The concert, which is for cruisers only, will feature Surf City Legend, a Beach Boys tribute band, and while at this time the concert is only open to those who will be participating in the cruise that could change after the state reopens June 15, Frasso said.

“It could very well change when it gets closer,” Frasso said. “We are going to for sure update on our Facebook page which is MurrietaCSD. We update that pretty regularly so if we hear we are able to open that to the public that will be the place we publicize it.”

Participants should register in advance as this year, there is no on-site registration. The first 100 pre-1980 vehicles or specialty

Frasso said that even though the city has held a car cruise instead of the traditional car show to keep the event alive, the city is looking forward to returning the event to its roots after June 15.

“We do hope to bring it back as a traditional car show next year,” she said.

EVMWD approves energy battery services agreement Joe Naiman WRITER

The Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District approved an agreement for a battery energy storage facility at the district headquarters.

A 5-0 EVMWD board vote May 27 approved a battery services agreement with SolarStorage Fund D, LLC, and a savings guarantee agreement with SunPower Corporation Systems. The savings guarantee agreement ensures that the water district will have energy expense savings of at least $45,000 each year over the ten-year contract term.

Under state law, an electricity company must deploy energy storage as part of their system.

Battery-based energy storage provides flexibility to the electrical grid by storing energy

produced during periods when supply would exceed capacity and discharging energy to the grid during periods of high demand. The California Public Utilities Commission awards grants to public utilities to obtain battery backups which would function as electricity generators and would also allow the storage of energy so that the utility does not need to use energy from the grid during peak hours.

In March 2020, the EVMWD board authorized the execution of a letter of intent with SunPower to apply for Equity SelfGeneration Incentive Program (SGIP) funds for SunPower to construct a battery storage system at the Regional Water Reclamation Facility. Staff and SunPower met the April 2020 deadline to submit an application to Southern California Gas Company (So-

Signal contract for Temecula Parkway and Wabash Lane awarded Joe Naiman WRITER

The May 25 actions of the Temecula City Council included awarding a contract for a traffic signal at the intersection of Temecula Parkway and Wabash Lane.

The 5-0 vote awarded PAL General Engineering Inc. a contract for the San Diego company’s bid of $901,846, appropriated $443,222 of Measure S sales tax revenue to bring the total budget to $1,347,674, and authorized the city manager to approve change orders in the contract of up to $90,184.60. In addition to the traffic signal, the project will relocate the access to the park-and-ride facility on Temecula Parkway at La Paz Road; the access will be changed from Vallejo Avenue to Wabash Lane.

PAL General Engineering will construct a traffic signal at Temecula Parkway and Wabash Lane, modify the Temecula Parkway medians at Wabash Lane, construct an access road to the park-andride from Temecula Parkway at Wabash Lane, and eliminate the existing entrance to the park-andride on Vallejo Avenue by extending the existing wall.

The project was advertised for bid March 26. Seven firms responded by the May 4 deadline.

PAL General Engineering had the lowest bid amount. The secondlowest amount of $1,154,917 was submitted by All American Asphalt, which is based in Corona.

The engineer’s estimate for the project was $955,000.

The Regional Conservation Authority requires locally-funded capital improvement projects to contribute the applicable Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan fees within 90 days of the award of the construction contract. The fees outside of the public right of way are on a per-acre basis while the fee for a typical right of way improvement project is 5% of the construction cost, so the MSHCP fee for the improvements near the park-and-ride is $44,425.

The budget for the project also includes administration, design, environmental and construction engineering expenses.

The construction contract specifies completion within 120 working days, or approximately six months.

CalGas) for SGIP funding. That application sought $2,110,040 in rebate funding for the construction and installation of Tesla battery walls with 725 kilowatts of capacity which would provide 2,899 kilowatt-hours of generation. Initially, Elsinore Valley was informed that its application had not been awarded funding and was waitlisted in case additional funding became available. In December 2020, SoCalGas notified the Elsinore Valley district that the district’s application was selected for further consideration.

SoCalGas provided notice March 22 that Elsinore Valley would be receiving the funds.

SunPower has until June 20 to submit a proposal on the technical specifics of the battery project and requested that the water district have the contracting process completed by the end of May so that

SunPower could meet the necessary deadlines to obtain external financing for the construction.

SolarStorage Fund D, LLC, is a subsidiary of SunPower. SolarStorage will provide for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the battery system over the 10-year contract term at no cost to the water district. The battery will be owned by SolarStorage but operated to produce energy savings at the Regional Water Reclamation Facility and will use the existing 765 kilowatt solar array at the facility as the battery’s primary energy source, although energy could be taken from the Southern California Edison grid if necessary. Elsinore Valley will have the options to purchase the battery system at the end of the 10-year agreement term at what the fair market value of the system will be at the time, extend

the service agreement by up to five additional one-year periods at the fair market price at the time, or have SolarStorage remove the battery system.

The actual savings may be higher depending on usage patterns and Southern California Edison rates. The minimum guarantee is subject to preset proportional reductions for events outside of SunPower’s control such as if SCE significantly reduces the spread between its highest and lowest rates or if the Regional Water Reclamation Facility significantly reduces its peak energy demands or energy consumption.

The battery system’s installation is likely to be completed by the end of 2022.

San Jacinto Council to approve Los Mareados Seafood development loan assumption Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The San Jacinto City Council after a long discussion with a concern about new business owners having to assume responsibility of the city’s development loans to the closed Mason Jar Ranch business, passed an agreement to allow the new owners to start their operations in the same location.

The new owners of the former Mason Jar Ranch facility, Los Mareados Seafood and Entertainment, agreed once the city attorney agrees to reduce the city loan, originally almost $220,000, for one more year of the 10-year original loan, to take over the facility that was internally completely renovated by Mason Jar in its three years of operation. San Jacinto Mayor Alonso Ledezma, only hours before the meeting, visited the business location at 2241 Esplanade Ave. and found it vacant except for a few appliances, and questioned why so many other items for the previous business were missing. He said he was concerned that the new owners would have to take over the loan without all the other items he thought the former business had bought with money from the city loan.

“I don’t want the city to lose any money,” he said.

He was advised by the city attor-

ney that the city development loan was a forgivable loan and any of the owners who assumed the loan had that time to run their business and the loan would be forgiven.

He was also told that the new and former owners had the responsibility to work out their purchases of any external equipment left in the facility, with the city having no responsibility for them. Mayor Pro Tem Crystal Ruiz, who was in the restaurant business, also explained she was one of the previous council members approving the development loan for Mason Jar and that company. She said when Mason Jar moved in, they had to completely rewire and replumb the expensive internal structures of the building, most likely with some of the loan money.

Mason Jar Ranch still has a very successful facility in Menifee, but had to leave the San Jacinto location after three years of operation.

Los Mareados Seafood has other successful businesses in nearby cities and is seeking to expand.

The council was assured that the city would not lose any money from the development loan. City development loans are made to help new businesses move into their cities to help the local economy with the loan money recovered through use and sales taxes from the businesses. Many cities have used the development loan process

during the COVID-19 pandemic.

With those explanations, Ledezma apologized for his concern, noting that he was only asking a question, fearing the city might lose some money and that he did not have time to look into the circumstances before the meeting.

He voted along with three other members of the council to approve the business agreement for the assumption and assignment of the city development loan with the two businesses. Councilman Joel Lopez lost internet contact with the meeting and could not vote on the matter.

In other matters, the city council appointed Michelle Holmes as the city’s finance director on an interim basis until a permanent replacement is hired to fill the position. The former finance director, Farrah Jenner, is moving out of state to be closer to her family.

Holmes was the city’s permanent finance director in the past and was welcomed to the interim position by the council.

The council also approved a cooperative 3-year agreement with Riverside County Fire Department beginning the new fiscal year of 2021-2022. The county fire department San Jacinto stations provide public safety for the community along with the Riverside County Sheriff.

Ferreira given EMWD contract for Warm Springs Creek sewer protection Joe Naiman WRITER

Ferreira Construction Company was awarded the Eastern Municipal Water District contract to provide erosion mitigation for the Warm Springs Creek sewer crossing.

A 5-0 EMWD board vote June 3 approved a $1,292,200 contract with Ferreira, which is based in Rancho Cucamonga. The action also approved a $68,800 engineering services contract with HDR, Inc., authorized Eastern general manager Joe Mouawad to execute contracts with the necessary consultants and suppliers, and appropriated $1,466,900 for the project.

Eastern installed a sewer across Warm Springs Creek in 2004. The

sewer provides service to approximately 850 homes in Murrieta and to Daniel N. Buchanan Elementary School. The alignment runs from Manzanita Street through undeveloped land and crosses under Warm Springs Creek before discharging into the Warm Springs Creek Interceptor Sewer.

“The direction of flow is perpendicular to the crossing,” EMWD director of engineering Shaun Stone said.

Storms have caused damage to the articulating concrete block installed on top of the sewer and the concrete encasement surrounding the sewer which had been included in the construction as erosion protection measures.

“We are starting to see additional concrete failure,” Stone said.

An August 2020 EMWD administrative action provided HDR, which is based in San Diego, with a contract for a hydrologic assessment of the creek. HDR determined that flow velocities within the creek can exceed the velocities recommended for the application of articulating concrete blocks as an erosion control measure.

“Time is not on our side,” Stone said.

In October, the EMWD board approved a contract with HDR for the preliminary and final design of the erosion mitigation project.

The construction will replace the existing erosion control measures with engineered riprap within the high water mark of the streambed.

Virtual hiring event offers hundreds of in-home caregiving jobs Jobs still available for in-home caregivers Aging and disabled adults in Riverside County need compassionate, committed in-home caregivers, and a virtual hiring event on June 1 hoped to link them to workers who can help.

One in every five of Riverside County’s 2.5 million residents is age 60 or older. In coming decades, the county’s older population is projected to swell by 250%, making In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) more vital than ever for older community members and those with disabilities to remain safely in their homes. It’s not too late to apply.

“Those who do this work know how meaningful and rewarding it is — making a direct, positive dif-

ference and improving lives,” Eva Krottmayer, executive director of the county’s IHSS Public Authority, which helps recruit and train in-home caregivers and match them with IHSS recipients, said.

About 33,000 caregivers countywide provide in-home services to 40,000 older and disabled adults to help them live safely and independently at home. These caregivers work for IHSS, a state program administered by Riverside County.

The recent virtual hiring event sought to attract some 1,000 inhome caregivers in Riverside County. The online forum also provided job seekers with live chat to answer questions, get details about available positions and a

link to apply.

Krottmayer said the need for in-home caregivers is especially great in the Coachella Valley, Anza and Blythe.

IHSS caregivers currently earn $14.50 an hour and receive benefits such as paid sick leave and flexible schedules. Applicants must pass a background check, be able to perform personal care services, and provide transportation.

Anyone interested in applying can contact the IHSS Public Authority at (888) 960-4477, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, www.dpss.co.riverside.ca.us/public-authority.

Strategies to identify what your customers want TEMECULA – Defining what customers want is something all successful businesses must do.

No two customers are the same, so determining their needs and wants requires flexibility and a fluid approach that leaves room for business owners to adapt as their customers’ needs change.

Adapting to changing customer demands was perhaps never more important than during the COVID-19 pandemic. The outbreak of the deadly coronavirus in late 2019 forced both consumers and business owners to change how they shop and sell products, respectively. Those changes were made seemingly overnight, as governments across the globe placed restrictions on businesses and individuals in an effort to curb the spread of the virus.

As the world gradually emerges from the pandemic, business owners must once again determine what their customers want.

That’s as significant a challenge as ever, as how consumers find the products they need has changed considerably since the onset of the pandemic. The financial experts at JP Morgan note that the pandemic drove more shoppers online. By the end of 2020, ecommerce accounted for 16% of all sales in the United States.

That marked a nearly 5% increase since the first quarter of 2020.

Business owners may face a challenge in determining what customers want after the pandemic, but they can utilize various strategies to help that process go smoothly.

Solicit customer input.

Though vaccination rollouts have gone smoothly so far, many consumers are taking a cautious approach to getting back to normal. Soliciting customer input can be a great way to gauge their comfort levels as well as what they’re looking for in a post-pandemic climate. Customer surveys can shed light on the psyche of your consumers and what they’re looking for from the businesses

May 24 bid opening date. Three proposals were received. The Ferreira bid of $1,292,200 was the lowest. TK Construction of San Bernardino had the second-lowest bid at $1,499,200.

All three bids were significantly above the engineer’s estimate of $854,000. Staff reviewed the discrepancy and determined the higher bids to be due to the underestimation of the cost for the potential groundwater treatment system and the value of the dewatering.

The environmental planning and permitting will require coordination with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Riverside

County Flood Control and Water Conservation District. “It is part of a conservation easement, so we’re working through the challenges of that,” Stone said.

Helix Environmental Planning, Inc., whose headquarters are in La Mesa, will assist Eastern with preparing environmental applications and reports. The Helix work will include consulting with the other agencies.

The $1,466,900 budgeted includes inspection, field services, and contract administration as well as the construction contract and consultant costs.

Completion of the functional improvements is expected to occur

by October.

SBA administrator issues statement on the closure of Paycheck Protection Program U.S. Small Business Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman has issued the following statement on the closure of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to new loan guaranty applications, which has provided more than $798 billion in economic relief to small businesses and nonprofits across the nation, keeping employees employed and helping businesses come back stronger than ever.

“The Paycheck Protection Program provided over 8.5 million small businesses and nonprofits the lifeline they needed to survive during a once-in-generation economic crisis. I’ve heard story after story from small business owners across the country about how PPP funds helped them keep the lights on, pay their employees - and gave them hope,” Casillas Guzman said. “At the same time, millions of underserved businesses – particularly our smallest businesses and those owned by women and people of color – were left out of early rounds of relief. I’m proud of the work we did to begin to rectify these inequities - in 2021, 96% of PPP loans went to small businesses with fewer than 20 employees. Moving forward, we will continue to prioritize equity in all SBA’s programs and services.”

The Paycheck Protection Program, among the first COVID-19 economic disaster relief programs

to provide emergency funds to small businesses affected by the pandemic, has played a historic role in America’s recovery. The BidenHarris Administration has pushed an effective and equitable implementation of this program, with a focus on ensuring small businesses receive the backing they need to stay afloat and continue to employ millions of Americans. The program has supported the smallest of small businesses with 32% of the loans going to Low-and-Moderate Income (LMI) communities. Additionally, Community Financial Institutions (CFIs) played a pivotal role in 2021 PPP lending to underserved communities during this period, providing 1.5 million loans totaling $30 billion.

PPP loans in 2021 averaged $42,000, another indicator of targeted relief to the smallest small businesses.

The PPP is only one of eight disaster relief programs established

by Congress to assist small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Other programs include Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL), EIDL Advance, Targeted EIDL Advance, Supplemental EIDL Advance, Restaurant Revitalization Fund, Shuttered Venue Operators Grant, and SBA Debt Relief program.

they trust. Once customer feedback has been analyzed, business owners can then tailor their offerings to meet the shifting nature of consumer demands, making every effort to appeal to as many customers as possible.

Lean on sales teams.

Sales teams interact directly with the customers, be it in person, via Zoom calls, emails, or other channels. Business owners can lean on their sales teams for input regarding how customers are feeling and what their goals for the future are. Instruct sales teams to speak directly with customers about their short- and long-term goals, and then utilize their feedback to inform decisions going forward.

Work with a consultant.

An outside consultant can provide objective analysis that can be invaluable as businesses transition to a post-pandemic world. Consultants can utilize their knowledge of the industry to determine what a given business is doing or not doing to separate itself from its competitors. Consultants also can recommend strategies that will help businesses adapt to what experts like JP Morgan suggest could be a business landscape that may never be the same

as it was before the pandemic.

Identifying what customers want may require some creativity and flexibility as the world emerges from the Covid-19 pandemic.

HOME & GARDEN

Rose care FUNdamentals June, 2021 Frank Brines ARS MASTER CONSULTING ROSARIAN

All projections I have read indicate that we may be entering another period of drought. As gardeners we must be watchful and learn how to efficiently manage the amount of water we apply in our gardens. With summer and the warmer temperatures to come this will help diminish heat damage (stress) to the plants. The strategies I will discuss here are: • Delivering water efficiently • Keeping water in the soil using mulch • Allowing your roses a summer dormancy period Delivering Water Efficiently: Installing the most efficient delivery system is one method to save (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 (e.g.

70s). 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 www.netafimusa.com.

Lastly, estimate how long to run each system: Multiply the number of emitters by their delivery rate (e.g., 1 gallon/hour), then divide by the number of roses. For exam-

ple: if you have 40 emitters, each delivering 1 gal/hr, 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.

This should work well in a typical loam soil. You want the water to soak down at least 12” 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 (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” layer of mulch. Mulch moderates the soil temperatures, retains moisture and allows it to spread throughout the root zone, discourages weeds, and enriches it 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. 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 an area around the base of the plant of about 12” diameter. (If you can maintain that distance, then as your composted mulch disintegrates it

Sunburned leaves should not be removed because they provide shade for the cane which can be damaged or killed by sunburn.

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” above the mulch layer to reduce infestations from pests like spider mites.

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 end of June and be sure to water them deeply.

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 waste bin — do not compost them! (It is always a good practice to keep the garden clean in order to reduce fungal diseases and insect pests, particularly in hot dry weather.)

Do not remove sunburned leaves because they provide shade for the cane which can be damaged or killed by sunburn! (See the images of sun and heat damaged blooms and leaves.)

In summary, until at least September: • Do not feed • Make sure your water delivery system is operating efficiently • Apply 4” of mulch over the entire bed • Remove petals as flowers mature • Do not prune or cut back: Allow hips to form

•

Leave burned leaves on the plant Potted plants will require more diligent watching, resources and attention to what they are experiencing during this period. Learn to listen to your plants and observe their reaction to the elements.

As areas open up for socializing and we can venture out, the San Diego Rose Society has quickly arranged to have a Rose Show June 12. Entrance is free and anyone can and is encouraged to enter (exhibit). For more information, www.sandiegorosesociety.com/ rose-show-auction.

Doesn’t look like much work, right? Well, since you’ll be taking it easy for the summer, go visit Rose Haven, located at 30592 Jedediah Smith Road (the cross street is Cabrillo Avenue) in Temecula. Also, visit the web site, www.TemeculaValleyRoseSociety.org.

Attract more birds to your backyard Basic tips for feeding wild birds Family Features SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

With all the constraints people lived through in 2020, many turned to their own backyards – nature, in particular – for hope, solace, wonder and even entertainment.

Despite the worldwide crisis, nature’s normalcy remained intact; flowers continued to bloom, bees continued to pollinate and birds continued to fly and forage food.

Feeding birds can be enjoyable for any age group and provide stress relief for all who partake.

A University of Exeter study, focused on nature’s impact on hu-

mans in suburban and urban areas, found lower levels of depression, anxiety and stress were associated with the number of birds people saw during afternoons at home.

The benefits of birdwatching come from seeing lots of birds – quantity not “quality” – the study found.

People “felt relaxed and connected to nature when they watched birds in their gardens,” researchers said. These feelings increased with the level of bird feeding in the yard. For millions working and schooling from home, this stress reduction was an unintended bonus.

bird feed, feeders, nesting boxes and bird houses spiked as interest in backyard birds soared while people spent more time at home.

Interest in birding isn’t slowing down. If you haven’t tried attracting birds to your backyard, now is a perfect opportunity to start.

The experts at Cole’s Wild Bird Products Co. offer these bird feed and feeder basics to attract more birds to your backyard.

Feeders A variety of bird feeder types placed at different heights attract more birds than one feeder featuring one seed type. Start with two feeder types that accommodate most feed options. Bowl feeders serve not only seeds but also dried mealworms, fruit and suet.

An option like Cole’s Bountiful Bowl Feeder comes with an adjustable dome cover you can raise or lower to prevent larger birds and squirrels from getting to food and protect it from rain.

Traditional tube feeders are allpurpose options for bird feeding, especially for small birds that cling. For example, the Terrific Tube Feeder is made with state-ofthe-art materials to prevent warping and discoloration and includes a quick-clean, removable base to make cleaning fast and easy. Just push a button and the bottom of the feeder pops off for easy access to the inside. Rinse the feeder with soapy water, dunk it into a waterbleach solution at a concentration of 9-to-1, rinse, dry and reattach the bottom. Regular cleaning of feeders is essential for preventing mold, germs and disease.

Popular Foods Birdseed: Not all birdseed is created equal. Look for quality blends without cheap filler like red millet and oats. All-natural seed containing no chemicals or mineral oil is safe and more appealing to birds.

Top seed picks include all-natural black oil sunflower and Cole’s “Hot Meats” (sunflower meats infused with habanero chili peppers that birds love and squirrels dislike). Or an option like Special Feeder blend, packed with favorites including black oil sunflower, sunflower meats and pecans, attracts the greatest number of wild

birds. Offering a wide variety, Cole’s feed is researched and specifically formulated to attract certain bird species, the largest number of birds and the greatest variety of birds.

Insects and Worms: A healthy, lush lawn is one of the best ways to feed birds that prefer insects and worms. You can supplement birds’ diets by serving dried mealworms in a packaged variety that’s easier to feed and less messy than live mealworms. Mealworms are packed with energy and contain

essential nutrients, fat and protein.

Fresh Fruit: Apples, orange halves and bananas are favored fruits.

Suet: Perfect for insect-eating birds, suet is a high-fat food that provides abundant calories, rich nutrition and is a high-energy treat.

Using the right feeders and highquality feed can enhance your backyard and entice more birds, bringing stress relief and enjoyment. For more information on attracting birds to your backyard, visit www.coleswildbird.com.

Let tea take you for an adventure

If you can’t escape to a new location, consider taking a mental break in the comfort of your own home with tea as your companion.

Family Features SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Visiting a new or favorite destination is one way to travel, but that’s not always possible. If you can’t escape to a new location, consider taking a mental break in the comfort of your own home with tea as your companion.

With many different varieties of tea to choose from, you can infuse your journey with flavor while enjoying wellness and relaxation benefits. Enjoy virtual travels – wherever you are – with these tips

from the experts at Buddha Teas.

Rejuvenating getaway Even when you can’t get to a spa, tea can help you focus on wellness and refresh your body and mind. While yoga, meditation and massages can aid in recharging you physically and mentally, teas like chaga, detox dharma or mushroom wellness can further help you unwind. Chaga, a medium-bodied mushroom tea, can be enjoyed with honey or milk for a nurturing, peaceful escape. It can also help reset your center and give you a boost

of healing energy without any caffeine. Mushroom teas blending flavorful herbs and spices can bring power and pleasure to your cup with remarkable immune boosting, wellness potential – no honey or milk is needed. If you’re seeking a total recharge, look for teas with organic ingredients such as ginger root, turmeric and black pepper blended with the super cleanser, burdock root, to create the perfect environment for your body to rid itself of all toxins.

Exploring nature If you enjoy hiking and con-

necting with nature, flower teas like Japanese cherry blossom, chamomile and lavender can be ideal companions. An option like Buddha Teas matches your appreciation for nature. The teas are 100% unaltered, organic and wildcrafted. They’re made from fresh herbs and tea leaves and packaged in bleach-free bags, so you can enjoy the purity of natural teas without harmful chemicals or additives.

Emotional experience Some journeys are more emotionally charged than others, from reminiscing trips down memory lane to quiet getaways intended to let you free your mind. A heightened sensory reaction to these kinds of emotionally significant destinations is best balanced with chakra teas. “Chakra” is the ancient Sanskrit word for the seven central points of energy that reside within, helping balance your physical, emotional and spiritual states.

Connecting with history Seeing historical sites and learning about ancient people may inspire you to immerse yourself more fully in an unfamiliar culture.

Root teas can help give you a taste of the unknown, such as green tea (Japan), dong quai (China), ashwagandha (India) or black cohosh (North America).

Find more ways to experience the true taste of tea at www.buddhateas.com.

How to make a perfect cup of tea Creating a cup of tea that perfectly pleases your taste buds and accentuates the flavor of the variety requires patience and diligence.

Consider these steeping steps from

Buddha Teas, crafters of beverages using high-quality, fresh herbs and leaves from fresh, organic and wild plants. The sources are harvested, gathered and packaged with conscious care to help you experience the true taste of tea.

Step 1: Water Use fresh, preferably filtered, water. Many teas, especially herbal, include subtle flavors that can be lost or altered if prepared using unfiltered water.

Step 2: Temperature Measure the temperature of heated water using an electric kettle with a variety of settings or a cooking thermometer. Consider these temperature guidelines for different types of teas: Black (200-205 F) Green (175-180 F) Blends (190-205 F) Matcha (175 F) Herbal (205 F) Oolong (185-205 F) Pu-erh (195-205 F) White (175-185 F) Step 3: Steep Once water reaches the proper temperature, pour water over one tea bag per eight ounces of water.

(For a stronger brew, use additional teabags.) Most teas require a 3-6-minute steep, depending on the type of tea and preferred strength.

Herbal teas may take longer to reach full strength than black, green or white teas, sometimes up to 10 minutes.

One thing to keep in mind: Each tea presents its own unique flavor profile, some naturally trending toward bitter. However, teas that are not naturally bitter will often become so if steeped at too high a temperature or for too long.

Judge rejects Bayer’s attempt to limit legal liability for future Roundup cancer claims VALLEY NEWS EDITORIAL STAFF

Last Thursday, Vince Chhabria of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, the federal judge overseeing nationwide Roundup litigation, denied Bayer’s latest attempt to limit its legal liability from $11.6 billion to $2 billion for future cancer claims associated with Roundup weedkiller, saying parts of the plan were “clearly unreasonable” and unfair to cancer sufferers.

The rejected settlement is part of a broader $11.6 billion agreement to resolve Roundup lawsuits in the U.S. from about 125,000 consumers and farmers.

Chhabria said the settlement to pay as much as $2 billion to resolve future claims is “clearly unreasonable” for consumers who are exposed to Roundup but aren’t yet diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and may not be for a decade or longer.”

Bayer reacted by stating Thursday: “While the company will remain in the residential lawn and garden market, it will immediately engage with partners to discuss the future of glyphosate-based products in the U.S. residential market, as the overwhelming majority of claimants in the Roundup litigation allege that they used Roundup Lawn and Garden products,”

Bayer said in reaction to the denial by the courts.

“There will be no product recall,” Liam Condon, head of Bayer’s crop-science unit in relation to the continued residential use of Roundup, said. “What we’re discussing with our partners is the future of the active ingredient, that’s all.”

Glyphosate-containing products in the U.S. residential market bring in about 300 million euros in annual revenue, according to Bayer.

In 2018 environmental lawyer, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. son of the late U.S. Senator, Robert F. (“Bobby”) Kennedy and nephew of the late President, John F. Kennedy, and his team, won a historic $290 million landmark case against agricultural giant Monsanto and its glyphosate-based product “Roundup” claiming the product likely caused the cancer of their client, plaintiff Dewayne Johnson, a former school groundskeeper.

A federal appeals court upheld a $25 million award against agribusiness giant Monsanto Co. May 14, in a lawsuit that alleged another California man, Edwin Hardeman, developed cancer from exposure to its bestselling weed killer, Roundup.

In a 2-1 ruling, a panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Monsanto’s appeal of

punitive damages awarded in 2019 by a San Francisco jury.

The jurors found that Edwin Hardeman proved Roundup’s design was defective, it lacked sufficient cancer warnings and its manufacturer was negligent. They initially awarded Hardeman more than $80 million in damages, but a judge later reduced the punitive portion of the award, bringing the total to around $25 million.

Hardeman blamed his NonHodgkin lymphoma on decades of using Roundup products to treat poison oak, overgrowth and weeds on his San Francisco Bay Area property.

The appellate court ruling said evidence from the case supported a conclusion that Monsanto acted with “indifference to or a reckless disregard of the health or safety of others” and thus was liable for punitive damages.

And while the initial punitive award figure was excessive, the reduced amount was legal, the ruling said.

An email to Monsanto representatives seeking comment was not immediately returned.

However, Monsanto has long said studies have established that glyphosate, the active ingredient in its widely used weed killer, is safe.

Hardeman’s suit was one of many by thousands of people who

Smith, 44 has lived in the area for over 15 years and is a Holistic Life & Health coach and published writer and says she feels blessed to be chosen again. “I was in the running last year for the 2020 title and even reached the Top 12 of my age group.”

Lisa will be the only competitor to use the prize money to provide affordable housing for others.

“It is my mission to positively shape the future, using my life to uplift many, many more,” she says.

Smith also says that fitness positively influenced her my life by activating the much-needed endorphins that fight off the blues, and it gave her a safe space and an outlet to release worries and things outside of her control.

Murrieta’s Lisa Smith, 44, a holistic health and life coach and published writer, is using her Ms. Health and Fitness selection to help others if she wins.

Head coach Arnold Alpert has led the Golden Bears to 17 of the 18 championships. The match started at 138 pounds, which favored St. John Bosco (4-1) because its strongest wrestlers compete in the middle- and upper-weight classes while Temecula Valley excels in the lower-weight divisions.

Maximus Martinez got St. John Bosco off to a solid start, holding off a challenge by Abel Gaitan.

Alec Peralta evened the score for Temecula Valley, as he took down Jasper Centeno during the final minute and posted a 7-6 decision in the 145-pound match.

St. John Bosco’s Oscar Oranda held off a late rally by Mark Takara to take a 6-4 decision at 152 pounds. Nico Ruiz picked up a 15-0 technical fall win over Matthew Black and Manuel Gaitan moved up a weight class to face Abraham Galicia. Gaitan pinned Galicia in the third period of the 170-pound match to help the Golden Bears get within two points.

Cael Valencia answered with a pinfall in the 182-pound match to put St. John Bosco ahead 179. Brian Thorpe (195) and Mark Ayala (220) posted matching 6-3 decisions in their matches to help the Braves extend the lead to 23-9.

Temecula Valley (9-0) took over the rest of the way as Jacob Plange pinned his opponent in the final minute of the 285-pound match, and Brandon Baldonado picked up four points with a 12-0 major decision at 106 pounds. Aidan Munoz with a walkover victory at 113 pounds gave Temecula Valley its first lead 25-23. Ethan Perryman pulled out a 4-1 overtime win over Grigor Cholakyan at 120 pounds.

Ferrandis wins AMA Pro Cyclsts a hit at Tour de Murrieta Motocross season opener Grand Prix Dylan Ferrandis during a jump at the AMA Supercross season opener Saturday, May 29 at Fox Raceway in Pala.

Valley News/Monster Energy photo

Joe Naiman WRITER

Lake Elsinore rider Dylan Ferrandis won the AMA Pro Motocross season opener Saturday, May 29 at Fox Raceway in Pala. The overall results for the 450-cc class are based on finishes in two 15-lap motos. Ferrandis, who rides a Yamaha YZ450F and is part of the Monster Energy/ Star Racing Yamaha team, finished first in the first moto and third in the second moto for the best overall performance.

“Super happy for Dylan and super happy for the team as well as Monster Energy,” said Monster Energy senior vice president of sports marketing Mitch Covington.

The qualifying positions are based on a rider’s fastest time in either qualifying session. In the first session Ferrandis had a fast lap of 2:23.445, which placed ninth. His best lap in the second session took 2:20.481 and made him the fourthfastest qualifier for that session.

Ferrandis was fourth in the overall qualifying results.

Temecula’s Christian Craig is also part of the Monster Energy/ Star Racing Yamaha team. He had run in the 250-cc class during the AMA Supercross season before an injury sustained him during an April 24 qualifying session causing him to miss that night’s main event and the May 1 race. His return to motocross May 29 included a third-place lap of 2:21.743 in the first 450 cc qualifying session. Craig, who competed

on a Yamaha YZ450F, qualified eighth overall after placing 14th in the second session.

Ferrandis won the first moto.

Florida’s Chase Sexton finished second and was 0.099 seconds behind Ferrandis. Craig crossed the finish line 46.940 seconds after Ferrandis and took tenth place.

Ken Roczen of Florida won the second moto. Ferrandis was third and was 23.354 seconds slower than Roczen. Craig finished ninth and was 44.889 seconds behind Roczen.

Roczen was given second place overall for the two motos. Craig placed 12th.

The race was the first outdoor motocross competition for Ferrandis on a 450-cc motorcycle. “I think Dylan is going to do spectacular,” Covington said. “He’s a very strongminded and very determined young man, and we’re just happy to have him on the team.”

Menifee’s Justin Cooper, Murrieta rider Colt Nichols, and Jo Shimoda of Menifee are also Monster Energy riders and competed in the 250-cc class May 29. Cooper finished third overall, Nichols was ninth, and Shimoda placed tenth.

Nichols and Cooper are both part of the Monster Energy/Star Racing Yamaha team and ride Yamaha YZ250F models. Shimoda is a Monster Energy ProCircuit Kawasaki rider who uses a Kawasaki KX250F. Joe Naiman can be reached by email at jnaiman@reedermedia. com.

EDUCATION

Temecula students of the year celebrated at Sizzler Paisley Trent SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

After eight months of virtual events celebrating Temecula high school special top students each month, the students, their parents, principals, event sponsors and local representatives came together at the Murrieta Sizzler to show support for the 2021 Temecula Students of the Year on May 21.

This year, each college-bound student received a scholarship of $1,584. Students are selected by their teachers and school principals based on academic achievement, love of learning, extracurricular and community involvement, athletics, leadership, integrity and succeeding academically through difficulties in life. At each event, whether over Zoom or at Sizzler, the parents, students and nominating teachers and principals speak on the qualities and experiences of each selected student.

“It’s like a family event,” Temecula Mayor Maryann Edwards said. “It’s formal in the way that it is put together, but it’s very family-like in that if a mom stands up there and starts to cry, everyone starts to cry.”

Edwards began attending the student of the month breakfast events 25 years ago as a volunteer and PTA board member of her children’s schools. Now she enjoys coming as an elected official and said there is such a strong sense of community and students often

talk about giving back to the community that has supported their growth.

“I can’t tell you a student of the month or a student of the year where people haven’t just been ecstatic and very supportive of the students. And just so proud,” Edwards said. “You know these aren’t our kids, but in a way, they are our kids.”

The program was founded by Sizzler owner Sally Myers, who began the Temecula student of the month program 29 years ago, during the 1992-1993 school year. The Temecula Chamber of Commerce also hosts the event with the many sponsors that support the program.

The eight students chosen for the 2020-2021 school year were all selected after being previously recognized as students of the month. The students of the year are Halley Brewer, Brianna Granados, Michelle Griffith, Noah Mariano, Jocelyn McEvers, Cooper Proulx, Ivana Ron and Charlene Salvador.

Halley of Rancho Christian High School will be attending Elon University and hopes to study abroad while in college and have a future career focused on sustainability and international business.

Brianna, who led the Temecula Valley High School’s Mental Health Awareness club, plans to attend San Jose State University for a career in psychology and law.

Great Oak High School’s Michelle plans to attend University of California, San Diego to study science.

Perris Union HSD invests in high-dosage tutoring to curb learning loss On May 19, the Perris Union High School District school board approved the expansion of high-dosage tutoring to their students, in partnership with Paper. Perris Union HSD is one of 60plus school districts in California that have invested more than $10 million in high-dosage tutoring to accelerate learning.

Paper provides all students with access to live tutoring online, 24/7, at no cost to them or their families.

By partnering with school districts, instead of individual families, Paper’s unique solution helps combat the major issue of learning loss and academic gaps in an equitable way.

“We’re proud to expand our partnership with Perris Union High School District in our mission to help every student excel academically,” Philip Cutler, Paper’s CEO and co-founder, said. “Students have struggled so much this year and resources like free, unlimited high-dosage tutoring have been proven to be highly effective solutions. It’s also important to ensure that every student has access to these resources and this partnership goes toward bridging those gaps.”

Allison Cirka inducted into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi Allison Cirka of Temecula was recently initiated into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation’s oldest and most selective alldiscipline collegiate honor society.

Cirka was initiated at University of California, Davis.

Cirka is among approximately 30,000 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 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.”

Critical Race Theory - What’s the big deal This is fourth in a series

Julie Reeder PUBLISHER

In previous pieces in this series, as well as other editorials over the last year, we’ve learned that with Critical Race Theory race is primary, rather than individuality, even though some proponents believe race does not biologically exist (like gender). Race is just a social construct, but how we identify with race is what shapes our lives, and yet “Whiteness” equals “racist.”

Nevertheless, people are divided and reduced to categories of “Blackness” and “Whiteness.”

After being judged primarily by their skin color, there are positive traits connected to Blackness or people of color and negative traits attributed to Whiteness. Black people are associated with being oppressed and White people are oppressors.

Parents are fighting against it when they find that their kids are learning these systematic racist ideologies in school.

The new form of racial segregation is often into “racial affinity groups” or “racial caucauses.” The

assumption is that Whites must “do the work” to address their “internalized racial superiority” and racial minorities must be protected from invasive “Whiteness.”

Next comes intersectionality. If you don’t know what that is, it is easily found online.

An elementary school in Cupertino, California forced thirdgraders to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities, then rank themselves according to their “power and privilege.” They separated the eight-year-old children into oppressors and oppressed.

While proponents of CRT may claim it is not being taught in any K-12 schools, the examples from parents and school employees abound. We’ve reported that while many states are rejecting or outlawing CRT in schools and government, California is aggressively passing curriculums and laws forcing students to learn CRT before graduating high school.

Proponents want to make it law.

CRT also addresses the funding of schools and the claim that “White” schools receive $23 billion dollars more than “Black” schools overall. This may be true but it’s likely not because of racism, but because those schools are in states or areas where the property taxes or other funding is lower. While that should be looked at, funding is not always an indicator of success. One way to break those kids out of the failing educational rut is to support charter schools and private schools that outperform their state counterparts and require less funding. They are met with powerful resistance from the unions. Those kids are forced to go to neighborhood schools that

are failing them. It’s not racism, it’s power structures who want authoritarian-type control.

To teach CRT is especially grievous when the schools have a large percentage of students who aren’t proficient in the core subjects. It makes me wonder if CRT is something that administrators want to focus on instead of their students’ core proficiencies because critical race theory rejects proficiencies as being based on racism. That could just be used as another excuse for schools who are failing. It makes it much more dangerous to teach kids who the schools are failing to be angry and believe they are victims and whatever troubles they are having are someone else’s fault and then the White kids are taught to feel shame and guilt based on their skin color. There’s just nothing redeemable about this theory except that it does get people to do a deeper dive in their thinking to make sure they aren’t being or thinking racist in any way.

Our goal needs to be diversity without division.

We must prioritize excellence and proficiency in math, science, reading and writing, culture, art and technology. We need to teach kids how to think, not what to think. We need to focus on the individual. Assess their skills and build on those. My favorite tool is the Gallup Strengths Assessment.

Each person has an amazing combination of skills that they need help and encouragement to unlock and develop in addition to the basics. Let’s develop strong courageous, confident, and talented individuals who love their country and all races of people equally.

An open letter to the community Some of my favorite days of the year are Komen’s MORE THAN PINK Walk® events. While we weren’t able to gather together in person this year, and I missed seeing everyone face-to-face, we still came together virtually no matter where we walked. Like always, we recognized, celebrated and connected. The funds raised through our events are needed now more than ever to support families facing a breast cancer diagnosis, especially for those who have lost health insurance or have other financial constraints as a result of the pandemic.

As we plan for future events, there are a lot of things we don’t yet know, but there are some that we do. We know we will continue to provide a virtual experience for

all of our events to allow participation for all our community members. We will continue to look to scientific and government recommendations to determine what is safe and appropriate for in-person events. But whether we are virtual or in person, the work we do together to raise funds will be critical in helping provide support to the estimated more than 30,730 people in California who will receive a breast cancer diagnosis in 2021.

Today and every day, on behalf of the Komen team, I thank you for your continued commitment to the work we are doing together to create a world without breast cancer.

Warmly, Jill Eaton Executive Director Komen Inland Empire

AB 26 bad for police Dear Editor, California bill AB 26 regarding peace officers: use of force would only further castrate our state and local law enforcement with too many onerous restrictions on police officers when they are making split-second decisions in highly stressful emergency situations.

But, if this bill is to become state law then let’s at least add an amendment outlawing the use of force by police anytime a California state or local elected politician comes under violent attack and/ or assault.

Instead, police officers should be mandated to immediately de-

escalate the situation by backing away and attempting to establish dialogue with the perpetrators.

In those jurisdictions where the police have been defunded and unarmed social workers put into place, the police would be required to call in these social workers and then turn the incident over to them for a peaceful resolution.

The political class should be compelled to live under the same conditions that they impose upon all other Californians. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

Sincerely, Rick Reiss, Temecula

theory programs on the basis of the First Amendment (which protects citizens from compelled speech), the 14th Amendment (which provides equal protection under the law), and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (which prohibits public institutions from discrimination on the basis of race).

American history is rich with stories of achievements and sacrifices that will move the heart of Americans - in stark contrast to the grim and pessimistic narrative pressed by critical race theorists.

Excellence is a common standard that challenges people of all backgrounds to achieve their potential.

To defeat this cancer among us we need the courage to stand and speak the truth; Courage to face

the mob; Courage to shrug off the scorn of the elites.

When enough of us overcome the fear that currently prevents so many of us from speaking out, the hold of critical race theory will begin to slip.

And courage begets courage.

It’s easy to stop a lone dissenter; it’s much harder to stop 10, 20, 100, 1,000, 1,000,000 or more who stand up together for the principles of our nation, the United States of America, that are under attack.

Truth and justice are on our side. If we can muster the courage, we will win, Christopher firmly believes.

Jim Bowles (drawing from Christopher F. Rufo’s lecture) Fallbrook, Calif.

Reader speaks out about critical race theory Thank you, Julie Reeder, for your coverage of critical race theory in the May 28 edition of Valley News.

Like many (or most) of us, I had never heard the term but I’m seeing it come up more and more.

Recently Hillsdale College featured a publication based upon a lecture by Christopher Rufo on Critical Race Theory: What it is and How to Fight it.

He reveals its roots in Marxism, just as you have, Julie. He goes on to say that it was relegated for many years to universities and obscure academic journals but it has become the default ideology in America’s public institutions.

It has been injected into government agencies, public school systems, teacher training programs,

and corporate human resources departments in the form of diversity training programs, human resources modules, public policy frameworks and school curricula.

Last year Christopher learned that the Department of Homeland Security was telling white employees they were committing “micro-inequities” and had been “socialized into oppressor roles.”

The Treasury Department had a training session telling staff members that “virtually all white people contribute to racism” and that they must convert “everyone in the federal government” to the ideology of “anti-racism.”

More and more, critical race theory has become a tool of political power and is driving the vast machinery of the state and society,

according to Christopher. If we want to succeed in opposing it we must address it politically at every level. Critical race theorists must be confronted with and forced to speak to the facts.

Do they support public schools separating first graders into groups of “oppressors” and “oppressed?”

Do they support mandatory curricula teaching that “all white people play a part in perpetuating systemic racism?”

Christopher is recommending that state legislatures prevent public institutions from conducting programs that stereotype, scapegoat or demean people on the basis of race.

He also recommends lawsuits against schools and government agencies that impose critical race

Woke foundations use dollars acquired through capitalism to undermine free market principles Richard Graber SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Recently, the Ford Foundation announced plans to provide $1 billion in funding toward social justice programs, an extension of the $1 billion it handed out in 2015. The resulting press coverage, including a profile of its president on “60 Minutes,” was effusive.

Ford is not alone in its philanthropic wokeism. Many other large foundations have followed suit.

The Mellon Foundation, one of the largest funders of the arts and humanities, is now prioritizing social justice in all its grant-making.

The Rockefeller Foundation too is committing $1 billion over the next three years to “catalyze a more inclusive, green recovery from COVID.” What’s the best way for America to reopen and return to business?

The National Coronavirus Recovery Commission, a project of The Heritage Foundation, assembled America’s top thinkers to figure that out. So far, it has made more than 260 recommendations.

While well-intentioned, there has been almost no scrutiny of grantmaking that supports social justice activism. Have the billions of dollars spent on it resulted in greater equity and quality of life for those it purports to help?

To be clear, a diverse range of philanthropies are supporting tre-

mendous organizations with noble causes. America’s ideals allow everyone from the average citizen to the wealthiest foundation to fund what they choose. And certainly, charity should continue to help the most vulnerable in society.

The concern, though, is philanthropy that singularly looks at grant-making through a lens that judges people by their gender and ethnicity both sets America back and undermines the principles of free enterprise that have improved far more lives than any government or social justice program.

Take, for instance, grant-making efforts that increase regulatory burdens on job creators. Or the funding of advocacy groups associated with last summer’s civil unrest, severely damaging small businesses in underserved communities. Or grant-making that sends the dispiriting message that not everyone is capable of being hired on their own merit.

Further, such efforts are antithetical to the free market beliefs of these foundations’ namesakes, who are the reason they exist in the first place. Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, and Andrew Mellon all embraced the free market principles that made it possible to invent, produce, fuel and finance the transportation industry. That, in turn, enabled millions of Americans to be more upwardly mobile and generated limitless possibilities in

innovation.

In his letter resigning from the Ford Foundation board in 1977, Henry Ford’s grandson conveyed “respect for the potential for the foundation’s good.” He also thought it was straying too far from the free market principles that make philanthropy possible.

“The foundation is a creature of capitalism — a statement that, I’m sure, would be shocking to many professional staff in the field of philanthropy,” he stated, and went on to say “that the system that makes the foundation possible is very probably worth preserving.”

In the decades since Ford wrote that letter, about 2 billion people worldwide have been lifted out of starvation and poverty. That feat is nothing short of a miracle, attributable to the global rise in ideas related to freedom and free markets.

Research substantiates this, showing that the more economically free a country is, the greater its standard of living.

Former President Barack Obama himself has agreed, stating, “We don’t dispute that the free market is the greatest producer of wealth in history – it has lifted billions of people out of poverty.”

America is the most prosperous country in the world because liberty and the rule of law are its foundation. These ideals were once grossly untrue for many in our society, a deep stain on the country’s

past. But we’ve made tremendous progress toward gender and racial parity in part because free markets create the conditions for anyone to succeed, regardless of background.

As Sen. Tim Scott highlighted in his response to President Joe Biden’s recent congressional address, “just before COVID, we had the most inclusive economy in my lifetime. The lowest unemployment ever recorded for African Americans, Hispanics and Asian Americans. The lowest for women in nearly 70 years. Wages were growing faster for the bottom 25% than the top 25%.”

Many statistics bear this out.

Among ethnic groups, Asian Americans have the highest median income in America, and Hispanic Americans are wealthier here than nearly anywhere else in the world.

Women, too, have made rapid economic gains under the free market system. In America’s 50 largest cities, single females own more homes than do single men.

They control more than $10 trillion in U.S. household financial assets, and continue to have the best opportunities in the world for female entrepreneurship.

Younger Black Americans are increasingly becoming entrepreneurs.

According to a report on small business, 22% of African American small-business owners are millennials, nearly twice as many as in the general millennial population.

Encouragingly, the number of firms owned by Black women increased 50% from 2014 to 2019.

Beyond reducing poverty, inequity and creating opportunity, free enterprise fuels the philanthropy that helps meet the country’s challenges. Every year, billions of charitable dollars fund efforts that strengthen families and communities, foster arts and culture, address educational needs, advance research and support hospitals, churches and more. These are the institutions that truly improve lives.

It is curious then that major foundations are committing staggering levels of funding to efforts that sound good, but in reality make it harder to start or maintain a business, value identity over initiative, and perpetuate the false, defeatist narrative that America is a land of racism, not opportunity. Such ideology detracts from how far we’ve come as a country and how much farther we can go if we unite behind principles that truly create parity and prosperity.

Richard W. Graber is chairperson of The Philanthropy Roundtable and president and CEO of The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation.

Most vaccinated California workers must keep masks on Don Thompson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Conflicted California workplace regulators approved controversial rules that allow workers to go maskless only if every employee in a room is fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, despite relaxed CDC guidelines and a large population with natural COVID immunity.

But the California Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board made clear Thursday night that the regulations are only a stopgap while they consider further easing pandemic rules in coming weeks or months.

The board initially voted 4 to 3 to reject any changes to current rules.

But chairman David Thomas said that would have left employers with the current rules, which require masks for all employees, along with social distancing and partitions between employees in certain circumstances.

Moments later, the seven-member board unanimously adopted the revised regulations while a threemember subcommittee considers more changes.

“It’s better than the previous one, because that’s what we’re going back to” if the board didn’t act, Thomas said. “We don’t want to leave the last one in place when this is better than that.”

The off-again, on-again decisions came after major business groups and dozens of individuals spent hours urging the board to further lift pandemic regulations.

Members who initially rejected the revision said they are concerned that it doesn’t go far enough or that it requires employers to stockpile the most effective N95 facemasks for employees who

want them starting July 1.

Major California businesses expressed frustration with the proposed rules by state workplace regulators which could remain in place into early next year even though coronavirus cases have fallen dramatically in the state after a severe winter spike and as more people get vaccinated.

That contrasts with the state’s plan to fully reopen in less than two weeks and do away with virtually all mask and social distancing requirements for vaccinated people.

Katie Hansen, senior legislative director for the California Restaurant Association, was part of a long line of critics from various industries that testified at a meeting of the California Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board, or Cal/OSHA, that is considering the plan.

Hansen said if the rules are adopted, then after the state reopens “a fully vaccinated server could work a lunch shift at a restaurant ... and then go out to dinner with their family or friends at the same restaurant in the evening and not be required to wear a mask, even though they had to wear a mask earlier in the day while at work.”

“Cal/OSHA is out of step with the rest of the country,” Andrew Sommer on behalf of the California Employers COVID-19 Prevention Coalition, said.

Gov. Gavin Newsom, who established the state reopening date of June 15, was noncommittal about what he would do if the idea is adopted. Newsom has the power to override it with an executive order.

“We’ll see where they land on the rulemaking before making a determination of next steps,” he said, adding that Cal/OSHA must

apply its rules to a wide variety of businesses, including places like meatpacking facilities that were hit especially hard by the virus.

He spoke outside Tommy’s Mexican Restaurant in San Francisco while announcing renewed efforts to help restaurants. Elmy Bermejo, one of the restaurant’s owners, said after Newsom’s comments that she supports keeping a face mask requirement to protect her employees and so customers feel safe.

Recent U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance says that fully vaccinated people can now skip face coverings and distancing in nearly all situations and the state is set to follow that recommendation.

But the state safety board’s staff says conditions are different among workers, leading to a proposed rule that even vaccinated employees wear masks unless everyone else in their workspace is inoculated.

Helen Cleary, director of the Phylmar Regulatory Roundtable, a coalition of large businesses with major California operations, said she was “astonished” that the staff of the safety board didn’t follow guidelines from federal and state health officials.

The proposed regulations set up “an inconsistent standard” between members of the public and employees of private and government workplaces, the California Chamber of Commerce and more than five dozen other business organizations said in a letter to the board.

Safety board staff member Eric Berg said the proposed rules incorporate the latest scientific evidence and have been reviewed and supported by the state Department of

California entry wins U.S. tap water prize at tasting contest BERKELEY SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — A southern California water district has won the top prize for U.S. tap water at an international tasting contest.

California entries took the top two places for Best Municipal Water on Saturday at the 31st annual Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting in West Virginia.

The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California finished

first and Santa Ana, California, took second. Those competitors finished first in the category in 2008 and 2018, respectively.

Third place went to the Southwest Water Authority of Dickinson, North Dakota.

The top bottled water award was given to Ulunom in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. Eldorado Natural Spring Water of Eldorado Springs, Colorado, finished second and Jasa

Spring Water of Gorham, Ontario, Canada, was third.

Judges based their rankings on taste, odor, mouth feel and aftertaste. Nine judges chose from among entries in 19 states, three Canadian provinces and 14 other countries. Rossarden, a town in Australia’s Tasmania state, was selected as the best municipal water in the world.

They recognize key differences between employees and the public at large, including that employees have “longer cumulative exposures” in the workplace than with casual social contact, Berg said.

Allowing some to wear masks and others to go unmasked would create significant enforcement issues for employers and Cal/ OSHA, Berg said.

The Cal/OSHA regulations being considered by the board apply in almost every workplace in the state, from office workers to retail clerks to factory workers. Its pandemic rules apply to all employees except those working from home or where there is a single employee who does not have contact with other people.

“A very large proportion of California employees will remain unvaccinated as of June 15, 2021,” the staff said in its recommendation. “Due to changes in social norms, as mask-wearing and physical distancing decline among fully vaccinated people, those precautions are likely to decline among unvaccinated and partially vaccinated people as well.”

Yet unvaccinated employees will remain at risk particularly from more contagious coronavirus variants, the staff reasoned.

Business groups are upset the staff didn’t ease its masking recommendation during a two-week delay since the board postponed its consideration while its staff reviewed the CDC guidelines.

More than 17.5 million of California’s nearly 40 million residents are fully vaccinated, state health

officials said Thursday, and the positivity rate for the virus is 0.9%.

While a majority of speakers at the hearing opposed the proposed rules, the plan was supported by worker advocates and unions including those representing teamsters, machinists, utility workers, engineers, nurses and other health care workers, and school employees.

“Worksite outbreaks are still occurring,” Maggie Robbins, occupational health specialist with Worksafe Inc., an Oakland-based worker advocacy group, said, noting that the majority of Californians are not fully vaccinated.

“The workplace is not the same as deciding to go to a dinner party or the gym or go to a movie,” she said. “There’s a lot of work to be done before we have a substantially immune population where we can relax more of the controls.”

Employer organizations were also critical of a proposed rule that starting July 31 would require employers to provide the most effective N95 masks for voluntary use by employees who work indoors or at large outdoor events and are not fully vaccinated.

That will require employers to track workers’ vaccination status and stockpile masks in competition with health care workers.

Berg said the masks used should be the most effective because “workers are in close proximity to each other for extended periods of time” and need the best protection from the virus.

Riverside County reports five total ICU hospitalizations City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

RIVERSIDE - The number of coronavirus patients under intensive care in Riverside County has fallen to five -- the lowest number in more than a year -- though two additional virus-related deaths were reported today.

According to the Riverside University Health System, 32 people countywide were hospitalized with coronavirus as of Monday, one more than on Friday. That figure includes five intensive care unit patients, down two from Friday.

The agency does not provide updated COVID-19 statistics on weekends.

The aggregate number of COVID cases recorded since the public health documentation period began in March 2020 was 301,013, up 84 from Friday.

A total of 4,618 deaths from virus-related complications have been recorded since the pandemic began, according to RUHS data.

The number of known active virus cases countywide was 731, down 77 from Friday. The active count is derived by subtracting deaths and recoveries from the current total – 301,013 – according to the county Executive Office.

Verified patient recoveries county wide are 295,664.

The county’s COVID positivity rate was 1.3%, down from 1.5% the previous week, while the state-adjusted case rate was 2 per 100,000 residents, based on a rolling seven-day average, compared to 2.5 per 100,000 last week.

According to health officials, the

California Department of Public Health has drafted new guidelines that are expected to take effect on June 15, when the governor’s statewide tier assignment system under the ``Blueprint for a Safer Economy’’ framework is slated to end.

The county entered the orange tier nearly two months ago, removing some operational barriers for private and public entities. The county had been in the red tier since March 16, after five months in the most restrictive purple tier.

Most distancing and capacity limitations are expected to be rescinded on June 15, with a few restrictions continuing for “mega events,’’ defined as indoor concerts with 5,000 or more people, and outdoor gatherings with 10,000 or more attendees.

More than 2 million SARSCov-2 vaccines have been administered countywide since December.

The county began offering immunization services to homebound individuals two weeks ago. Officials estimate roughly 3,000 residents might need the service, which is free. Anyone who wishes to make an appointment for a home visitation was asked to use the web portal https://myturn.ca.gov/, or call 833-422-4255.

People who are not homebound must continue to use the county website to make an appointment: www.rivcoph.org/ COVID-19-Vaccine. Or they may call the county’s 211 help line.

Security, intelligence failures found in days before Jan. 6 attack: Senate Report

Protesters clash with police at the U.S. Capitol in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021.

Zachary Stieber THE EPOCH TIMES

U.S. Capitol Police intelligence officials failed to share information they received in the days and weeks leading up to Jan. 6, contributing to the agency being unprepared for what transpired that day, according to a new Senate report.

The federal intelligence community, led by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, did not issue a threat assessment warning of potential violence targeting the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, despite online calls for violence, the 128page bipartisan report says.

The U.S. Capitol Police’s (USCP) lead intelligence compo-

nent, meanwhile, became “aware of the potential for violence” in the days preceding Jan. 6 but “failed to fully incorporate this information into all of its internal assessments,” the bipartisan group discovered.

The failure to warn of potential violence was combined with the USCP being ill-prepared to prevent or respond to security threats on Jan. 6, which contributed to the breach of the Capitol during a joint session of Congress, according to the report, an analysis previously offered by Steve Sund, the former chief of the Capitol Police.

“The events of January 6th were horrific, and our bipartisan investigation identified many unacceptable, widespread break-

downs in security preparations and emergency response related to this attack,” Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said in a statement. “Our report offers critical recommendations to address these failures and strengthen security for the Capitol to prevent an attack of this nature from ever happening again.”

“Over the past five months, our committees have worked together in a bipartisan way to thoroughly investigate the intelligence and security failures prior to and on January 6, and to develop recommendations to address them,” added Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), ranking member of the Senate Rules and Administration Committee. “These recommendations are based on an extensive fact-finding effort that included interviews with key decision makers, firsthand accounts from law enforcement personnel, and the review of thousands of documents. Our focus now should be on immediately implementing these recommendations.”

Protesters clash with police at the U.S. Capitol in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021. (Julio Cortez/AP Photo) Peters and Blunt issued the report jointly with Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), the top Republican on the Homeland Security panel, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.),

chairwoman of the Rules Committee.

Members of Congress met on Jan. 6 at the U.S. Capitol to certify electoral votes submitted by states.

Protesters and rioters stormed the building in the early afternoon, angered by then-Vice President Mike Pence’s refusal to intervene in the certification process. People who breached the building have said they believe widespread fraud occurred in the election and did not like how officials in some states dramatically altered voting rules amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Prosecutors have charged over 450 people in the breach and expect to charge at least 100 more, according to a recent court filing.

Once people entered the building, opaque processes and lack of emergency authority delayed USCP requests for National Guard assistance, the report found.

The intelligence failures, coupled with the Capitol Police Board not asking ahead of time for Guard assistance, meant Guardsmen were not activated, staged, and prepared to quickly respond to the Capitol breach.

It took over three hours following a request for help for Guardsmen to arrive on Capitol Hill, officials testified in March.

The senators issued a series of recommendations, including advising USCP to require a departmentwide operational plan for special events and to make its Civil Distur-

bance Unit a permanent component to ensure the officers in the unit are properly trained and equipped at all times.

USCP said in a statement that it agrees improvements are needed in intelligence analysis and dissemination.

“Law enforcement agencies across the country rely on intelligence, and the quality of that intelligence can mean the difference between life and death. The USCP also acknowledges it must improve how it collects and shares intelligence with its own officers and stakeholders and has made significant changes since the attack on January 6,” it said. “The Department has also made major changes to its now Department-wide operations planning processes, even recently bringing on a National Special Security Event planning and coordination expert from the United States Secret Service.”

The Pentagon sreported it is aware of the report and reviewing its contents.

The National Guard referred the comment to the secretary of the Army. The secretary, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Ex-CDC Director says he received death threats from fellow scientists for supporting COVID-19 lab-leak theory Greg Price CONTRIBUTOR

Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Robert Redfield says he received death threats from fellow scientists after voicing support for the idea coronavirus originated from a lab in Wuhan.

As part of a sweeping investigation into the battles inside the federal government over the origins

of COVID-19 in the early days of the pandemic, Vanity Fair reported on the backlash Redfield received from the scientific community after telling CNN in March that he believes the virus accidentally escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

“I do not believe this somehow came from a bat to a human,” Redfield told CNN’s Sanjay Gupta in the March interview. “Normally, when a pathogen goes from a zoo

to human, it takes a while for it to figure out how to become more and more efficient in human to human transmission.”

The former CDC director told Vanity Fair his inbox was flooded with threats both from strangers who thought he was being “racially insensitive” and prominent scientists, one of whom told him to just “wither and die.”

“I was threatened and ostracized because I proposed another

hypothesis. I expected it from politicians. I didn’t expect it from science,” Redfield added.

The COVID-19 lab-leak theory has recently gained prominent attention from media outlets that initially dismissed it as a conspiracy theory despite information in the public domain since February 2020 pointing to its credibility.

After initially shutting down a Trump-era State Department probe into the origins of the virus,

President Joe Biden also recently instructed his intelligence agencies to conduct a 90-day review into the lab-leak theory.

Manchin’s opposition clouds future of Dems’ election bill ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON (AP) — A key Democratic senator says he will not vote for the largest overhaul of U.S. election law in at least a generation, leaving no plausible path forward for legislation that his party and the White House have portrayed as crucial.

“Voting and election reform that is done in a partisan manner will all but ensure partisan divisions continue to deepen,’’ Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia wrote in a home-state newspaper, the Charleston Gazette-Mail.

He wrote that failure to bring together both parties on voting legislation would “risk further dividing and destroying the republic we swore to protect and defend as elected officials.”

It has faced uniform Republican opposition. The For The People Act, among other things, bans voter ID requirements, mandates mail-in voting options and begins registering voters at age 16.

Among dozens of other provisions, it would require states to offer 15 days of early voting and allow no-

excuse absentee balloting.

Democrats have pushed the legislation as the antidote to a wave of election integrity state voting laws sweeping the country, many inspired by claims of fraud in the 2020 elections, which are still being investigated and fought with audits and lawsuits. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has pledged to bring the election bill to a vote the week of June 21, testing where senators stand. But without Manchin’s support, the bill has no chance of advancing.

In appearances on two Sunday news shows, Manchin stressed his reasons for opposing the bill, including his view that it is too broad.

“I think it’s the wrong piece of legislation to bring our country together and unite our country and I’m not supporting that because I think it would divide us further,” Manchin said.

Manchin said lawmakers should instead focus their energies on revitalizing the landmark Voting Rights Act, which was weakened by a Supreme Court decision

in 2013. Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska has joined him in calling for that approach.

Manchin’s opposition to the broader elections bill is just the latest challenge facing Democrats as they debate how to deliver their promises to voters. Manchin reiterated he would not vote “weaken or eliminate the filibuster,” a route that many Democrats see as the only realistic path forward. The filibuster rule requires 60 votes to pass most bills, and in today’s Senate, which is split 50-50, that means many of the Democrats’ biggest priorities, from voting rights to gun control, are dead on arrival.

Manchin wrote. “Furthermore, I will not vote to weaken or eliminate the filibuster.”

In March, House Democrats passed the voting bill by a near party-line 220-210 vote. The legislation would restrict partisan gerrymandering of congressional districts, eliminate hurdles to voting and bring transparency to a campaign finance system that allows wealthy donors to anonymously bankroll political causes.

The measure has been a priority for Democrats since they won their House majority in 2018.

Manchin was interviewed Sunday on “Fox News Sunday” and “Face the Nation” on CBS.

Manchin and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., have frustrated their party by their defense of the filibuster. But they aren’t alone, with as many as 10 Democratic senators also reluctant to change the rules.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has promised to block the elections bill, which he characterizes as undue government overreach into state election systems. He said no GOP senators support it.

One arrested following CHP chase, hourslong standoff Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

One man was arrested following a two-hour sheriff pursuit on Interstate 15 that began in San Bernardino County and ended in northern San Diego County, Thursday, June 3.

The standoff led to a hard closure of both north- and southbound lanes of the freeway near State Route 76 snarling traffic into the evening hours.

The incident began about 5:30 p.m. when San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of a person in a vehicle possibly doing drugs outside a Bar-

In addition to the Riverside senior’s property, Railsback said detectives located valuables allegedly taken from other homes where the suspect was assigned to work while on retainer with a Corona-based elder care agency, which was not identified by police.

She also had clients of her own, through her private service, “Olga’s Sunshine,” serving Riverside and Orange counties, Railsback said.

The total value of the alleged stolen goods was not disclosed.

Romero was arrested May 6 and released on her own recognizance.

Police have sought burglary and elder abuse charges against the suspect, but according to Riverside County District Attorney’s Office spokesman John Hall, prosecutors are still reviewing the evidence, and no filing decision has been made yet.

In the meantime, detectives are asking anyone who might have used Romero’s services and suspect they may have been victimized to contact them at (951) 353-7955, or rpdtips@RiversideCA.gov.

A 39-year-old caregiver is under investigation on suspicion of stealing property from seniors in Riverside and Corona, and police said there may be additional victims and asked anyone with information to come forward, Wednesday, May 2.

Olga Romero of San Jacinto was identified last month as the alleged perpetrator in thefts committed while she worked as an independent caregiver and as an on-call caregiver for a company in Corona, according to Riverside police Officer Ryan Railsback.

He said the Riverside case centered on a woman in her 80s, who discovered several hundreds dollars’ worth of jewelry taken from her house in the area of Magnolia and Central avenues, where Romero had worked.

A search warrant was served at Romero’s residence in the 1700 block of Faulkner Avenue in San Jacinto, where “stolen jewelry belonging to the elderly victim” was seized, according to the police spokesman.

Yoffe refused to exit the Saturn for more than three hours. When CHP officers finally took him into custody at about 10:30 p.m., no weapon was found in the vehicle, Escobar said.

All lanes on I-15 and State Route 76 were reopened by 10:45 p.m.

Yoffe was booked into Adelanto Detention Center in San Bernardino County on suspicion of felony evading, according to jail records. He was being held in lieu of $100,000 bail pending arraignment, which was scheduled for Monday afternoon.

stow home, California Highway Patrol Officer Juan Escobar said.

Deputies tried to contact the man in the 2004 Saturn sedan, later identified as 46-year-old Ethan Francis Yoffe of El Cajon, but he fled and eventually entered southbound I-15, Escobar said.

CHP officers took over the pursuit on southbound I-15 and followed Yoffe until he stopped on the right shoulder south of State Route 76 shortly after 7:20 p.m., the officer said.

Based on information that Yoffe was allegedly armed with a boltaction rifle, authorities shut down both directions of I-15 and both directions of State Route 76.

A 19-year-old Riverside man who tortured a Chihuahua puppy in his apartment, inflicting ultimately fatal wounds depicted in a video he posted online, pleaded guilty June 3, to a federal animal abuse charge.

Angel Ramos Corrales admitted one count of animal crushing, which refers to intentionally subjecting certain creatures to violent abuse that results in grave injuries.

A plea bargain with the U.S. Attorney’s Office was announced last month and as a result, Corrales formally changed his plea to guilty during a hearing before U.S. District Judge John F. Walter at the federal courthouse in downtown Los Angeles.

Walter scheduled a sentencing hearing for Aug. 16. Corrales faces a maximum seven years in federal prison, according to prosecutors.

The puppy was assaulted Feb. 13 in the 3500 block of Lou Ella Lane, in Riverside’s Eastside neighborhood, north of the UC Riverside campus, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The case was initially handled by the Riverside Police Department, Riverside County Depart-

ment of Animal Services and Riverside County District Attorney’s Office, but led to federal involvement, evidently because Corrales transmitted video footage of his alleged acts via the online social media platform Snapchat.

According to prosecutors, Corrales videotaped himself brutalizing the 4-month-old puppy named Canelo.

In the video, he states, “I’m cold-hearted,” showing the dog with a large gaping slash wound to his neck, then kicks the canine, according to court papers.

The video prompted multiple complaints to Riverside police, who quickly identified Corrales and went to his residence the same day. “(Officers) found him with fresh blood stains on his clothes, as well as freshly cut wounds on his hand,” according to a U.S. Attorney’s Office statement. “Inside the residence, officers found the severely injured dog lying on a bed and observed blood spatters in both the bathroom and bedroom.”

Animal control officers were contacted and soon arrived at the location. The law enforcement personnel spoke to Corrales’ roommate, who said he “locked himself in his bedroom after observing

blood spatter and the dog wrapped in a rug, while Corrales was in his room, yelling,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The puppy was taken to the Western Riverside County Animal Shelter in Jurupa Valley, where veterinary staff determined that, because of the many broken bones in his skull and chest, he could not be saved, at which point he was euthanized, according to investigators.

Corrales was booked into the Robert Presley Jail in Riverside on suspicion of animal cruelty, then was released on his own recognizance hours later with a criminal citation, as part of the county’s ongoing coronavirus emergency bail schedule adopted under state guidelines to limit exposure risks in lockups.

He was re-arrested and placed in federal custody April 26. He posted a $15,000 bond and was released the following day.

According to prosecutors, Corrales later told investigators that he had purchased Canelo via a Craigslist posting toward the end of 2020, but said he did not recall the events of Feb. 13.

Corrales has no documented prior felony convictions in Riverside County.

Federal authorities urge migrants against making Police arrest woman accused of stealing tip jar, food from Hemet perilous smuggling eatery attempts City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Given the recent spate of local human smuggling attempts resulting in migrants’ deaths, federal authorities in San Diego urged anyone considering a perilous border crossing against entrusting their life to smugglers, in a joint statement Wednesday, June 2.

Federal prosecutors and law enforcement made a plea to those contemplating the journey by highlighting fatalities linked to recent human smuggling operations conducted on land and sea.

Officials said 25 migrants have died in border areas within San Diego and Imperial counties between October 2020 and April 2021.

Recent incidents include: The March 2 crash near Holtville that led to the deaths of 13 Mexican and Guatemalan nationals when an overloaded SUV crashed into a semi-truck on an Imperial County highway. Jose Cruz Noguez has been charged with allegedly coordinating the smuggling operation.

The May 2 boat crash off the coast of Point Loma that claimed the lives of three Mexican migrants. More than two dozen others were rescued after being forced to abandon the sinking vessel.

The alleged boat captain, Antonio Hurtado, pleaded not guilty this week to two dozen charges filed against him in a grand jury indictment. Survivors told authorities they paid between $15,000 and $18,500 to be smuggled into the

A review is ongoing into the content of the remainder of the documents involved. Scripps described the ensuing investigation as “a time-intensive process that will likely take several months, but we will notify affected individuals and entities as quickly as possible in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.”

Anyone with questions can contact a dedicated call center at 855535-1822 on weekdays, between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. “Maintaining the confidentiality and security of our patients’ information is something we take very seriously, and we sincerely regret the concern this has caused our patients and community,” Scripps’ statement read.

“It is unfortunate that many health care organizations are confronting the impacts of an evolving cyber threat landscape. For our part, Scripps is continuing to implement enhancements to our information security, systems and monitoring capabilities. We also continue to work closely with federal law enforcement to assist their ongoing investigation.”

According to Hemet police Lt. Michael Arellano, the alleged theft and confrontation occurred on the afternoon of May 26 at the Jersey Mike’s sandwich shop at 719 S. Sanderson Ave. Arellano alleged that Williams walked into the restaurant and grabbed edibles from the counter, as well as swiped the tip jar, and then headed for the door.

Several employees, one of whom was a teen, tried to prevent the suspect from leaving, at which point Williams “assaulted the juvenile,” the lieutenant alleged.

U.S., court documents state.

The May 20 panga boat that capsized near La Jolla, resulting in one person’s death and eight others being rescued from the water. The boat’s alleged captain, Victor Alfonso Soto Aguilar, and another man who allegedly acted as a refueler – Jose Ramon Geraldo Romero – were charged in an indictment returned Wednesday, June 2. Migrants rescued in the alleged smuggling attempt said they paid between $12,000 and $15,000 to be smuggled, according to prosecutors.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office also noted recent San Diego court decisions regarding fatal smuggling attempts, including the case of three sisters who died of hypothermia while crossing a remote mountain path near Mt. Laguna, and the case of three Chinese migrants found dead inside the trunk of a car driven across the border.

“We are appealing to every person who is considering a desperate, perilous journey into the United States, whether in a boat, on foot or crammed in the trunk of a car,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Randy Grossman. “Don’t do it. Do not put your life in the hands of smugglers.

These people do not care about you. They will jam way too many people on a boat or in a car just to make more money. They will direct you to hike in remote areas in dangerous weather conditions without adequate food, water or clothes. Smugglers care nothing for their customers. They care only about maximum profit.”

Cheers erupted as graduates received their diplomas.

Not quite a traditional graduation, this year’s event was a social-

ly distanced and COVID-19-aware celebration. Face coverings were required, and grads entered the gym in three separate groups to walk the stage.

Nothing could dampen the

Hot air balloons descend on Lake Riverside Estates Lake Riverside Estates residents experienced an exciting wakeup call in the early morning hours of Sunday, June 6, as three colorful hot air balloons descended into the quiet community.

Despite some concerns over spooked horses and barking dogs, most residents enjoyed seeing the mostly quiet aircraft land in their neighborhood.

“I recently moved here from the wine country and used to see them regularly,” said Eileen Keswick.

“I was pleasantly surprised to see them this far east. Fortunately, my horses have been desensitized to them and my dogs love to give them what for!”

Neighbors chatted as they took photos and videos, many commenting that they heard the balloons before they saw them. Dogs barking at the large round and Lake Riverside Estates resident Gail Price enjoys seeing the balloons land just outside her front gate Sunday, June 6.

Cool centers open to Riverside County residents as hot summer months near As temperatures begin to climb, cool centers in locations throughout Riverside County have begun opening their doors, offering residents a welcome retreat from the heat.

Currently there 39 cool centers open to the public in partnership with local organizations such as libraries and community centers, with the plan to expand to 60 by mid-season. The centers are available to residents at no cost and will be open through October as temperatures warrant.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, safety guidelines will ask all visitors and staff at the cooling centers to wear face coverings and practice social distancing.

High temperatures can be hazardous for many people, especially for the elderly and those with medical conditions. Heat-related injuries such as heatstroke, an illness that occurs when the body can no longer regulate its temperature, can strike fast and pose lifethreatening consequences.

The cool centers are coordinated by the Community Action Partnership of Riverside County, in conjunction with Riverside University Health System – Public Health. Light refreshments and water will be available at some locations. For a list of cool center locations, visit www.capriverside. org.

dies Madeline and Sandra Day and our collection of heritage turkeys, chickens, ducks, and quail that lay eggs in nearly every color of the rainbow.” Lester said.

From horses Kolt, Whiskey and Honey, Pancetta and Prosciutto the American Guinea hogs and their piglets, to lowline Angus steers Bubba-Q and T-Bone, barn cats Thing 1 and Thing 2, tortoises and rescue pigs Bella, Wilbur, and Charlotte, all these animals are living their lives at Farmy Farms.

“Guests will have a chance to walk the grounds and see how we grow our fruits and vegetables sustainability and organically, using permacultural values and processes,” Lester added. “Then they can visit our brand new farm stand as they walk through our newlyplanted U-Pick apple orchard.”

There is even a Hawaii-inspired greenhouse where a Hawaiian macadamia tree, multiple varieties of bananas, and more are grown.

Farmy Farms boasts nearly 100 different types of fruit trees that will only be available to the public to pick during future private

farm tours.

“Our ticketed dinner event, later in the day, will be a three course farm-inspired menu focused on using ingredients sourced from the farm, or that will be sourced or carried at the farm such as heirloom varieties of carrots and other vegetables, specially selected salts and peppers sourced from around the world, fresh baked breads and delicatessens, Cornish hen, and so much more,” Lester said.

Farmyard games and activities for the whole family will include potato sack races, horseshoes, corn hole, life-size connect four, and tables set up with farm animal hand puppets and sticker-making activities.

“Stroll through the fruit trees, smell the roses and flowers in bloom, and meet the farm animal friends while enjoying music, games, and the rest of the community as we celebrate the official grand opening of Farmy Farms,” Lester said.

Future Farm tours will cost $10 per person and include access to the private and U-Pick orchards,

Aguanga woman befriends roadrunner

Cindy Kelly of Aguanga gently holds her new friend Tom the Anza Valley Outlook/ C our tesy p h oto roadrunner for a quick photo.

Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

Often described as outgoing, sociable and bubbly, Aguanga resident Cindy Kelly makes friends easily. Her most recent acquaintance is of the avian variety.

Kelly’s new pal is a wild Greater Roadrunner.

“I have a huge connection with these birds,” she said. “This is the third one I have caught. They weren’t even scared as I walked right over and was able to pick them up. When I put this one down, he

didn’t even run, he just stood there and then kind of just skipped off!”

The greater roadrunner, Geococcyx californianus, is a bird in the cuckoo family. Its scientific name means “Californian earth cuckoo”.

These birds are about 20 - 24 inches long, with a 17 - 24-inch wingspan and is the largest cuckoo of the Americas.

Roadrunners are mostly brown with black streaks and occasional pink spots. The neck and upper breast are white or pale brown with dark brown streaks with a white belly. A crest of brown feathers sticks up on the head, and a bare patch of orange and blue skin lies behind each eye. Males and females have identical coloration.

Roadrunners have four toes on each foot - two face forward, and two face backward.

Although capable of limited flight, these birds spend most of their time on the ground, and can run at speeds of up to 20 mph.

The greater roadrunner is monogamous, forming long-term bonds.

These couples defend a territory, with the male calling out to warn competitors. He will not hesitate to physically engage intruding birds.

Both roadrunners build the nest, with the male acquiring the mate-

rial and the female constructing the nest. The nests are made from thorny sticks and lined with grasses, feathers, snakeskin, roots, and other fine material. They are built low in a cactus or bush. The female lays three to six eggs, which hatch in 20 days. The chicks fledge in another 18 days.

Roadrunners prey on small animals including insects, spiders, tarantulas, centipedes, scorpions, mice, other birds, lizards and snakes.

“The roadrunner is a sign of Epiphany, Illumination and that something in your life has been healed on the spiritual and physical levels,” said Kelly. “It is a sign of the completion of a phase, transformation or goal in life. You can now move forward to new and greater horizons. You have nothing to worry about.”

According to Kelly, the roadrunner is also a sign of speediness and doing things in an efficient manner.

“The story behind this roadrunner is the same thing that happened last year at this time,” she said. “They go in my barn chasing lizards. I have an upper story and they jump up the apple picking ladder into the top story but then they can’t figure out how to get out. It’s literally just

random that I go out there for a tool or something and hear a noise. Now I’m learning to check more often to make sure they don’t get stuck up there again. I named this one Tom after a close friend who died this year.”

Many Pueblo Native American tribes, including the Hopi, believed the roadrunner provided protection against evil spirits. In Mexico, some said it brought babies. Frontier people thought roadrunners led lost travelers back to trails.

Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner are the two protagonists in a Warner Bros. cartoon series.

The greater roadrunner appeared in a 1982 20 cent United States stamp. It is the state bird of New Mexico, as well as the mascot of countless high schools and even colleges, including California State University, Bakersfield and the University of Texas at San Antonio. The roadrunner is also the mascot of the Tucson Roadrunners, a professional hockey team in Tucson, Arizona.

Kelly has taken her own good luck mascot friend very seriously.

“I just love these birds!” said Kelly.

saying - ‘the man, the myth, the legend’ - yeah, we are pretty sure it was written about Corporal Parsons.”

Parsons has a long history of serving the mountain communities. He was the School Resource Officer for Hamilton High School for the past five years and was recently assigned to work at the newly reopened Lake Hemet Mountain Station.

Corporal Parsons is highly regarded and admired by the people

who know him, and who work with him.

“We are all very proud of him and are excited to hear that he will remain with the Hemet Sheriff’s Station under his new rank.

We were lucky to have him as a deputy, and are grateful to keep him as a corporal,” one of his colleagues said.

Why do Whites belong to a party that defines them as racist?

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

To my White Democrat friends and in sincere kindness I must ask.

Why do you belong to a party that defines you as racist and thus society’s enemy? Even more amazing, why are most of those defining you as racist because you are White, also White, as for example Joe Biden. If race is systemic, isn’t he also racist because he is White?

There is some evidence for this, over his nearly 50-year political career he has certainly made many racist statements and supported racist policies like forced busing.

Kamala Harris exposed this in the 2020 presidential primary debate.

Both Biden and Hillary Clinton characterized KKK Klansman Senator Robert Byrd as their emulating model.

Most of the anchors that talk of systemic White racism are also White. So again I ask, why do you belong to a party that defines you as society’s leading enemy which can only be eradicated by mostly White politicians mandating, and White teachers teaching, critical race theory which teaches racism?

Are you racist? Of course not, so why do you not speak out against them and cease voting for and funding them?

As Senator Tim Scott, himself Black, said in his rebuttal to Joe Biden’s first State of the Union Address, “America is not a racist country.” So a White man, who has never experienced racism, says that we are a racist country and a Black man, who has experienced racism, says that as a country we are not. He might have added, if so Barack Obama would not have served two elected terms as president and now Kamala Harris would not be Biden’s vice president. In America, race baiting to perpetuate racism is a vastly bigger problem than actual racism. Blacks are only 1/13th of the population.

You do not get to the White House without the White vote.

If the majority were racists, slavery might still exist in the South because the White “racist” Northerners would have believed the “negro to be already in his place.”

Remember it was almost entirely the Whites of the north, 360,222 of them that gave their lives to free the slaves and thousands more lost limbs. It was Whites

that established and maintained the Underground Railroad at considerable risk to themselves and it was White author Harriet Beecher Stowe in her novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin, who brought attention to the moral issue of slavery. And it was the Whites that ended any possibility of the return to slavery in the South by the 13th Amendment to the Constitution ending it, the 14th extending to them due process and equal protection of the laws, and the 15th the right to vote — all opposed at the time by the Democrat Party. Today Blacks have the same rights as any other race, no less nor more, because Whites recognized injustice and worked to end it.

Notice also that Antifa members who incite violence on the street supposedly for Black causes are overwhelmingly White as are the journalists who promote this lie.

Antifa certainly makes no effort to be inclusive or diverse, therefore they too must be racist. Those attending Black Lives Matter marches are at least half White.

But BLM never talks about, or publicly opposes, Black-on-Black crime all around them, as in Chicago where a person is shot every two hours, only the rare instances of White police “violence” on Black “victims.”

Yet another crazy oxymoron to consider; if all Whites are systemically racist (it is in their genes) and most Blacks in today’s society have some proportion of White blood in them, aren’t they in that

proportion also systemically racist? In other words, was Barack Obama, whose mother was White and he therefore half White, thus half systemically racist? So his followers should hate, and he also, the half of him that is White. Absurd.

Systemic racism does not exist, if present it sadly was learned, but one has to look for it.

Noticing racism everywhere, isn’t that racist? Since the Democrats are the ones that believe everyone else, excepting themselves, is racist and since they believe Whites especially genetically so, isn’t this the very definition of racism? And if racism is everywhere, why isn’t it widely known and acclaimed outside their political party and media? As they define and apply racism, the Democrat Party is the party of racism?

If most Democrats are White and therefore the enemy, who are they the enemy to? Themselves?

There may be something to the old adage, “The enemy is us.”

Chicago’s Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot recently announced that she would permit interviews to only Black or brown journalists. Even the White journalists pushing the critical race theory nonsense are now excluded from interviews with the mayor on the basis of their skin color. There exists nothing more racist than this.

Years ago I observed that those who saw racism in everything were themselves the most racist.

The Democrat Party seems intent on purging the stain of whiteness

from itself. So why do any Whites remain members?

Unless the Democrat Party turns from such absurdities the day will come when no one will admit to once having been a Democrat.

They will destroy their own party.

But it is even worse than this; they are promoting violence on the basis of race and therefore are race baiting.

Most Americans already know this racial propaganda to be untrue.

But it is also very dangerous. If Blacks succumb to this Democrat lie and come to believe that armed resistance against the White systemic race is necessary for their survival, or to make things right, who do you think will win? Certainly not 1/13th of the population; the democratic left and party are promoting racial violence. That this violence, so long promoted by the left, is still rare, not universal nor common, itself attests that America is not a racist country.

BALLOONS from page AVO-1 vivid objects in the sky alerted many residents to their advancement and descent.

According to a balloon pilot, the propane burners create a highpitched noise that dogs can hear, but people can’t. Many times dogs know the airships are coming before people do.

“Visitors again!” wrote Gail Price on the Facebook group Lake Riverside Estates Friends. “Luckily we live in a community that can provide them a safe place to land when unexpected emergencies come up. The animals are pretty desensitized to it, although giant noisy balls of death from the sky is a little scary to them! What a beautiful start to the day!”

Crews in the chase trucks attended each balloon as it touched down and the pilot allowed the hot air to leave the balloon, called the envelope. This causes the structure to deflate and slowly sink to the ground, ending the flight.

“It was so amazing waking up to

the hot air balloons in my backyard this morning,” said Kelly Bellows.

“They were so close that we had a conversation with the guy. There was no wind and they were trying to land in the safest spot they could. They almost had to land in my dressage arena. My horses were looking at this big monster like what is that!!!? But they handled it like champs.”

The prevailing winds that morning delivered the aerial adventurers

to Lake Riverside Estates, where they were able to enjoy wellexecuted landings.

Luxury vans arrived to escort the balloons’ passengers back to a winery for further adventures.

“It was a beautiful site on a gorgeous Sunday morning! It got the horses’ attention but they survived!

So, so cool!” said Sue Marriott.
