Mayor Scott Vinton, enthusiastic and upbeat, addressed the crowd at Murrieta’s Town Square Park Amphitheater on June 29 with the Murrieta 2021 State of the City address. Referring to the city’s birthday on July 1, the theme was “30 years strong and getting better all the time.”

Presented by the Murrieta/Wildomar Chamber of Commerce, the event was hosted by its President and CEO, Patrick Ellis. He thanked the many sponsors that made the event possible as well as the support of the mayors and council members from nearby communities.

After a performance by students of the Norris Performing Arts Center, a short video was played that highlighted various sectors of the city, from dining and entertainment to public safety.

Council members and city staff were interviewed during the video that featured Vinton summarizing “how far we have come over the past three decades – how we have

grown, how we have matured and how we have kept the quality of life front and center.”

City Manager Kim Summers said when Murrieta became a city in 1991 it was home to only 20,000 people but “as one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation, we knew that planned growth was essential to build a quality community. Now with nearly 120,000 people calling Murrieta home, we’re proud of how we have grown.”

Vinton said local dining and entertainment options are growing by leaps and bounds with 138 restaurants doing business in Murrieta and new entertainment venues providing even more opportunities to connect and enjoy the growing city. He was joined

by Deputy City Manager Stacey Stevenson who touted the new state-of-the-art Town Square Park Amphitheater, where the program was held.

MADD honors traffic officer for outstanding service Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Corporal Perry Willow is busy at the Lake Elsinore Sheriff’s Station. While he says being on patrol for the Traffic Unit is just part of his regular job, he has been consistently singled out for his outstanding work by MADD California. The Mothers Against Drug Drivers nonprofit organization was founded in 1980 to bring awareness to the dangers caused by drivers who get behind the wheel of a vehicle while being under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

When MADD California presents its Law Enforcement Recognition awards later this month, Willow will be honored with a “Top Cop” plaque, “Century Award” certificate and a “23152” pin, which denotes the California Vehicle Code section that relates to driving while intoxicated. Willow made 212 DUI arrests, the most for any Riverside County officer during the past year. However, this is Willow’s third consecutive recognition as Riverside County’s Top Arresting Officer. The nonprofit considers each arrest as a life saved and awards law enforcement for their service as they dedicate their lives to keeping roads safe.

“In the beginning of 2020, I challenged myself to make a difference in the alcohol-related collisions and fatal traffic collisions in the city,” Willow said. “I wanted to make the citizens aware of the fact drinking and driving is dangerous

and 100% preventable. I believe taking a zero-tolerance approach to DUIs helped save lives in Lake Elsinore over the past 12 months.”

MADD California State Executive Director Patricia Rillera, who has been with the organization for nine years, said each law enforcement agency sets their own criteria for selection. Those selections are then forwarded to MADD as part of its celebratory acknowledgment of law enforcement.

“MADD acknowledges more officers in California than any other organization or agency,” Rillera said. “MADD has been acknowledging law enforcement since its inception in 1980. However, MADD began acknowledging law enforcement in a formal, more organic fashion in 2006.”

Lake Elsinore Sheriff’s Station Sgt. Brad Foster said Willow started with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department as a Deputy Sheriff at the Blythe Jail working in a jail/corrections assignment in 2008. In 2012 he transferred to the Southwest Detention Center, now called the Cois Byrd Detention Center and from there, in 2013, he was transferred to the Patrol Division at the Lake Elsinore Sheriff’s Station. In December 2017, Willow moved to the Lake Elsinore Traffic Bureau and began working as an Accident Investigator and DUI patrol.

Foster said 2018 was a busy year for Willow due to the number of major-injury and fatality traffic collision the city of Lake

Elsinore experienced.

“In October of 2020 (Willow) was promoted to Corporal and remained in the Traffic Bureau before moving back to Patrol later at the end of 2020 to help mentor newer deputies,” Foster said. “Cpl. Willow still provides valuable DUI and collision investigation training to newer deputies that come to the Lake Elsinore Sheriff’s Station.”

Rillera said there are multiple events utilized to honor individuals who bring awareness to MADD’s cause. Law enforcement are acknowledged along with other first responders and prosecutors at the Law Enforcement Recognition

event. They are held throughout California as a breakfast, lunch or dinner event but due to COVID-19, virtual events were organized for 2020 and 2021. Additionally, to honor non-law enforcement, MADD hosts an annual gala which is the platform for community/ corporate recognition.

“At its core, MADD provides services to victims and families of drunk and drugged driving crashes at no cost, successfully lobby to support stronger drunk driving laws, deliver underage drinking prevention strategies to thousands of teens, and we are single handedly responsible for changing

the apathetic culture surrounding drinking and driving,” Rillera said.

“Impaired driving continues to be a leading cause of death and injuries in our country, however, since MADD’s inception, DUI fatalities have been cut in half.”

The virtual recognition awards ceremony is designed to honor law enforcement officials for their continuous efforts in driving under the influence enforcement. Along with helping MADD celebrate these individuals, the nonprofit encourages all drivers to use prevention strategies and rideshare options to end impaired driving going forward. The nonprofit’s organizers feel that taking the celebration online to guests and supporters across the nation will give attendees the opportunity to experience an inspiring program highlighting MADD California’s impact, bringing together a cross-section of law enforcement, community partners, elected officials, policymakers, advocates and volunteers to raise awareness and support.

“I am humbled to have been awarded the Top Cop award and will continue to challenge other department members to enforce DUI laws to protect the citizens,” Willow said. “I want to thank all my fellow officers at the Lake Elsinore Sheriff’s Station for being proactive in their search for impaired drivers. Without their motivation to make a difference, I would not have been able to achieve this award.”

Remains of drowning victim found in Lake Elsinore A 38-year-old man who drowned after jumping into Lake Elsinore to search for something he’d dropped in the water was identified June 28.

Cadmiel Ahsad McAdoo of Los Angeles died Sunday while swimming in the northeast pocket of the lake, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

Sgt. Lionel Murphy said that a sheriff’s dive team located the victim’s remains on the lake bottom during an extensive search.

According to Murphy, McAdoo was aboard a watercraft about 6:20 p.m. June 27 when an unspecified item fell into the water, prompting the victim to dismount the craft and go after the possession.

“After entering the water, he appeared to be in distress,” the sergeant said. “He was submerged underwater and did not resurface.”

Deputies and others mounted a search of the lake soon afterward, but there was no sign of the victim, Murphy said.

Joint Hemet City Council, Planning Commision workshop discusses future housing needs Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Public comment to learn what residents seek in the coming years in housing, quality of life and the environment was sought by the Hemet City Council and the Planning Commission during a workshop at the Hemet Library June 29.

The information is to look ahead in the next eight years to improve the city, learn how to prepare housing for very low and low income residents to meet state quotas, and make the environment better for everyone in a period of climate change, However, the call for public input through public notices and social media failed to produce much resident input for the workshop.

Two members of the Carpenters Union, by way of teleconferences, called upon the Council and commissioners to consider asking developers to hire more local carpenters from the union in the community to work on the new homes coming in the future.

Since there were no other public comments in the workshop, the council and sitting commissioners heard and discussed The Cycle 6 Housing Element update that covers the time period of October 15, 2021 to October 15, 2029.

The joint meeting was held as one of the workshops, where the public could voice their views on the three elements in the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation that must comply with all city, regional, and state requirements, and be certified by the HCD or Housing Community Development. One of the requirements the city needs to address is how they can accomplish building or opening 6,466 homes with a large percentage to accommodate those families who wish to buy or rent who make between $38,750 to

$62,000 per year and still provide a safe and productive environment.

The new housing numbers were to comply with Governor Gavin Newsom’s recent request to provide more affordable housing in the state and for the growing homeless population.

It was explained to the Council that “SB 375 specifies that if a local government on an eight-year planning cycle fails to adopt its housing element within 120 days of the statutory due date, the jurisdiction will be required to update its housing element every four years until it adopts at least two consecutive revisions by the applicable due dates.”

Addendum to Safety Element in the plan also note it must also update it’s safety element to ensure the housing element and safety element are both internally consistent with the city’s General Plan to ensure compliance with Senate Bills 1241 and 1035 and to identify any new information and establish new policies, as warranted, related to seismic, flood, dam inundation, wildland fire, noise, airport hazards, and climate adaptation and resilience strategies.

The city is currently working on the updated plan that will include a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan that assesses and addresses identified vulnerabilities in the City of Hemet.

The joint meeting was held as part of the process to update the plan and explain that according to the new Senate Bill 1000 in 2016 that requires cities and counties to adopt an Environmental Justice Element if identified as a “disadvantaged community” by the California Environmental Protection Agency.

Hemet, because of the incomes in the city and the number of low income people that includes many retired seniors has been designated

as a “Disadvantaged Community” by the California Environmental Agency Health and Safety Codes and “is a low-income area that is disproportionately affected by environmental pollution and other hazards that can lead to negative health effects, exposure, or environmental degradation.”

The workshop members heard, “The Environmental Justice Element will include policies to reduce health risks by addressing improvements to air quality, access to public facilities, food access, safe and sanitary homes, and physical activity.”

Now the state requires cities containing a state-defined disadvantaged community to update their General Plans when two or more elements are updated to incorporate an Environmental Justice element.

This element is integrated into the city’s General Plan update that is being reviewed.

The Council said there will be more workshops and public meetings held before the updated plan is forwarded to the HCD. Those meetings will be posted on the city’s website.

The workshop members were told that the city should not have to pay for the update since it has a $250,000 grant to process the Housing, Safety, and Environmental Justice Element.

Planning commissioners are John Wuerth, Jacob Beamesderfer and Lori Van Arsdale. The terms of Vince Overmyer and Dana Hill were to expire on June 1 but they could be reappointed by the council. The City Council is Mayor Karlee Meyer, Mayor Pro Tem Malcolm Lilienthal and Council Members Russ Brown and Linda Krupa. The District 4 seat is vacant until a special election is held.

Temecula family wins Press Your Luck TV game show Paisley Trent WRITER

Ann Raineri slammed the bright red button on game show “Press Your Luck” many times during the episode, as she pressed her luck and strategy skills to win more than 100k, with a percentage deducted for taxes.

“The whole thing, if I could explain it, was surreal,” Raineri said.

“You can plan all you want or watch as many reruns as you want and it does not prepare you for that day.”

Raineri was featured in the fifth episode of season three, “Does he know I’m from Boston,” which aired June 23 on ABC and is also available to watch on Hulu. The show’s newest season began May 26 and is still ongoing.

She first became interested when a casting director posted the audition in a local Facebook group and she applied, not thinking much of it. For 21 years Raineri worked in marketing as a program manager and later vice president at the same company, but is currently a stay at home mother. Throughout the screening, auditioning and casting process she said she made sure those involved knew her priority was her family and youngest son as he graduated high school.

“Press Your Luck” originally ran on CBS from 1983-86. Raineri remembered from watching the show with her grandmother when

she was younger. “‘No Whammy’ is something I’ve known since I was a kid,” she said, recalling how contestants try and hope to avoid spots with the “whammy” spots, where cartoon characters screech as the money accumulated tragically changes to zero.

She said that before seeing the casting call she didn’t know the show was rebooted by ABC in 2019 and is now hosted by Elizabeth Banks.

After a months-long process where Raineri went through multiple interviews, phone calls and virtual screen tests, she and her supporters — her husband, youngest son and best friend — were put in a hotel near the television studio and continued preparing and strategizing.

“It was fun being able to put competitor skills to the test,” said Raineri, who’s always loved games, trivia and being competitive. But she said what kept her going during the stressful yet fun time was her family.

“My why is my family,” Raineri said. “They’re why I gotta pull through.”

Because of the numerous screen tests with candidates and COVID-19 precautions, Raineri said she didn’t know until the night before that she was going to be on the show.

After Raineri made it to the bo-

nus round, personalized potential prizes were added to the electronic game board, including a paid for prom for Raineri’s youngest son, thousands of dollars worth of Raineri’s favorite protein shakes and a “family roots” trip to Italy and the Philippines.

She said she was surprised to see some of those prizes on the board, especially since they were just ideas casually discussed earlier on in the interview process, and that all her reactions were genuine excitement, shock and nerves.

“For me it’s like I wanna do it

again but it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,” Raineri said.

She said that right now she is enjoying spending time with family, an incoming grandchild and what she describes as a humbling amount of money that she won’t take for granted.

The McConville Place on Pujol Street

Rebecca Marshall Farnbach SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

It is remarkable how much attention the mock fire station on Pujol Street attracts. It is a quaint structure, but it is not historic. Ironically, the house and barn on the property are historical and are seen in many early photographs of the Old Town Temecula area. Hugh McConville constructed the house and barn around 1882 when the railroad came through, but the “firehouse” was not built until 1980.

The property was originally a short walk to the railroad depot. A

turntable was put in later directly across the street. The house is one of the few in town with a basement.

It was made from local granite. The barn is large and is durable. It is pressed up against the hill behind the house, well and windmill.

The McConville Place was built on an important piece of property, not just because of its close proximity to the Temecula Train Depot, but also because of its short distance from Main Street, the main thoroughfare. A passenger would disembark from the train to cross the Murrieta Creek on the Main Street Bridge to go for food or lodging at the Welty Hotel or to go to the livery stable to hire horses and wagons to take them farther. Hugh McConville owned the livery stable, which was an important business in those days. It would be like an airport’s car rental agency today.

Hugh married Laura Welty, whose family ran the hotel and owned a commercial building across Main Street from the livery

stable. The Temecula Post Office was housed in the Welty Hotel where her father and sister Hattie took turns as postmaster. Hugh’s tack room in the stable was a place where men in town gathered and told tall tales around a potbellied stove when they weren’t hanging around the tap handles at the bars on Front Street. Many social gatherings were hosted upstairs in the stable where there was a dance floor.

In time, as motorized vehicles took the place of horses, the livery stable was razed and the First National Bank of Temecula was erected in that location in 1914. The bank went out of business in 1943 and the building was rented out, first as an antique store and later as a Mexican restaurant.

Howard Raish built the “firehouse” after he bought the McConville property. He appeared on the scene in 1969 when he and Walt Moore bought the brick Mercantile Store on Main Street

The newer “fire station” goes well with the historic barn, house, and windmill at the McConville property on Pujol Street.

and turned it into an antique store.

The Mercantile, now an art gallery and entertainment venue called The Merc, was constructed for Philip Pohlman in 1889 after Pohlman won the property in a lottery. The Mercantile, the first building in the area made from fired bricks, was a general store until 1953 when it became an automobile repair shop.

In the 1970s an antique store took the space until the City of Temecula bought it in approximately 1998 and made it what it is today.

Raish, one of the supporters for the 1880s Western theme for Old Town, built the firehouse structure in 1980 to represent a vintage 1900 building as part of his “Temecula Cultural Center” meant to be a tourist attraction to be viewed from the street. He had a sense of humor and would have been pleased to know how many people think his “firehouse” is the real thing. He liked to create controversies and he liked to work with discarded items.

It looks like an historic firehouse, but it never was one.

The property is presently owned

by Jan Carver who is renting the house and fire station to a couple who hope to put some businesses into the buildings. They appreciate the quaint structure and the other historical features of the property.

The Temecula Valley Historical Society has marked the McConville Place with a historical marker.

There is a plan to add another marker across the street where the railroad turntable was located.

As far as true fire protection history goes, the Temecula divi-

Engine Co. 1.

sion of the California Department of Forestry answered calls for fire emergencies from Rainbow to Lake Elsinore and eastward to Aguanga in the 1940s. Until 1952 when they built the Forestry Station on Mercedes Street near Sam Hicks Monument Park, fire trucks were parked in random locations around Temecula Valley.

The new structure had space to store and service the fire engines and also provided living areas for the crew and the chief and his family. In 1969, the Rancho California Volunteer Fire Department was formed and in 1975 they constructed a fire station next door to the Department of Forestry building. The two structures are still in use as fire stations.

The City of Temecula now has five fire stations and manages the stations in French Valley, Bear Creek and Glen Oaks. Also, Pechanga developed a fire department after eight homes on the reservation burned in a wildfire in 1996.

So, Temecula is covered for fire protection and we don’t have to depend on any of the antiquated equipment on display at the “firehouse” at the McConville Place to fight any fires.

Rebecca is a member of the Temecula Valley Historical Society and is an author and co-author of several history books about the Temecula area. The books are available for purchase at the Little Temecula History Center or online from booksellers and at www.temeculahistoricalsociety.org.

To learn more about the Temecula Valley Historical Society, www.temeculahistory.org and the Temecula Valley Historical Society Facebook page.

For more information about the society, please contact info@temeculavalleyhistoricalsociety.org.

The Temecula Valley Historical Society did not shut down operations while sheltering in during COVID closures. Instead, they ramped up using technology to serve the community in even more comprehensive ways than before.

The historical society board of directors continued to meet via Zoom where their ideas took root.

Instead of in-person presentations each month, the society also utilized Zoom to give programs on topics of interest, including stories of a heroic warhorse Sgt. Reckless, a shooting at the Temecula Train Depot, the history of the 1909 restaurant, and depictions of Temecula people from the past. These were live-streamed and archived on Facebook where the presentations can be viewed at will.

When Temecula third grade students could not go to Vail HQ for their annual field trip, the society engaged JDS Academy to film a virtual tour that the Temecula

Valley Unified School District and private schools in the area received gladly.

During this time, President Shari Crall conceptualized a sign campaign throughout the community with history questions as teasers. Under her leadership, committee chair Bill Veale and several knowledgeable board members wrote topics and tantalizing tidbits to share.

As the committee explored ways to present the data, they recognized the value of offering a question with a QR (Quick Response) code, a square matrix barcode like those used in restaurants to access the menu. For the history question, the answer is found by using the QR code, making it like a mini-treasure hunt. So, if you see some signs that say “Did You Know?” check them out and see what you can learn. Signs are presently posted at various locations including IHOP, the Army/ Navy Store, Mariposa Ice Cream, Great Burrito, and Stew’s Barber Shop in the Palomar Village Shopping Center.

MURRIETA f r om p ag e A - 1 good balance of convenience and a strong economy. “We are addressing that balance with strategic development that meets local needs,” he said.

Vinton said having the foresight to create city-based fire and police departments has led to Murrieta being consistently ranked as one

of the safest cities in the state and country. Police Chief Tony Conrad said his department remains consistently engaged with the community it serves. “We started small with a staff of only 25 officers and nine support (staff members) in 1992. Regardless of our size, though, service delivery and engagement have always been our number one priority.”

Fire Chief David Lantzer said the fire department started serving the community with a group of volunteers in 1947 and in 1993 it officially became the city’s fire department. “Now with five strategically located fire stations and 72 dedicated employees, we have earned a reputation for excellence,” he said.

Economic Development Scott Agajanian said the city has seen great growth with a strong commitment to its past and heritage as he caught up with City Council members in the city’s downtown area.

Mayor Pro Tem Christi White said what she loves most about the city is “the people, the places and the personality of Murrieta – a perfect blend of what I want in a community.”

Councilmember Jonathan Ingram said it’s an amazing place to live and he loves the residents.

Councilmember Lisa DeForest said there are so many things she likes about the city it’s hard to choose just one.

“The most important thing that brought our family here was the schools,” she said. “I believe that schools are a vital, important part of a healthy community and we have that. Truly, Murrieta is the gem of the valley.”

Councilmember Lori Stone moved to Murrieta in 1976 and recalled the small-town Old Country Market with farm-to-table foods, which is the only place valley residents had to shop. She said it is great to be able to drive down the main street with its old-town feeling but know that “we live in a vibrant city today due to our past leadership.”

The overwhelming message seemed to be that residents and business owners were happy to be in a “big city with a small-town feel,” which is the reason Vinton said he likes living in Murrieta.

“We are indeed proud of how far our city has come over the past 30 years, in particular how we came together and weathered the last 15 months; we are connected by community,” Vinton said.

When he began his live speech, which lasted about 15 minutes, he said, “As mayor, I am privileged to give tonight’s address, however, I speak with the collected guidance and shared wisdom of my fellow council members.”

“We warmed you up tonight with a video snapshot of how far we have come over the three decades since incorporating in 1991,” Vinton said before focusing on the city’s accomplishments in the past year. He began with addressing the economy “on several fronts this year.” His mention of supporting local businesses during the pandemic with grants totaling $440,000 brought applause from the audience.

“This past year, we issued nearly 1,300 new business licenses and supported some significant expansions,” he said. “Businesses have faith in our community and as a result we are broadening our economic base and bringing a more comprehensive array of local options to Murrieta residents.”

More applause followed Vinton’s mention of the opening of an Amazon grocery store and the Murrieta Hot Springs property being in escrow. Formerly owned by Calvary Chapel Bible College, the property served as a closed campus since 1995. Plans to restore the 43acre property to its original use as a natural hot springs resource by constructing a resort and spa for use by residents and visitors was well received.

“Our healthcare sector is booming,” Vinton went on to say. He said Kaiser Permanente broke ground on phase two of its facility and once phase 3 is completed, the

site will employ more than 3,000 people and “anchor the regional healthcare corridor that is continuing to grow in north Murrieta.”

He mentioned how the Murrieta Innovation Center (The MIC) is gaining national recognition and funding. A new Veterans Administration clinic is coming, which he said will be great for the veterans.

He said that despite COVID-19 closures, the city departments stayed busy, opening new parks, designing new roads and hosting more than a dozen virtual or drivethru special events for residents.

Serving meals to seniors and taking its library services to a new level helped serve many different segments of the population.

A balanced budget “During this time, we also approved a balanced budget,” Vinton said. “As a fiscally prudent city we have prioritized providing high level service while setting money aside for hard times. That practice proved essential when (pandemic) closures dramatically impacted our tax revenues in 2020. Unlike many cities, we were able to move forward without a single cut to staffing or to services. When our community needed us most, we were there, even if it was virtual.”

He said they were able to continue service while also seeking out grants for supplemental and critical projects and programs.

“These accomplishments during this extraordinary time made me very proud of our city,” Vinton said. “Lastly, this year we received more than $3.4 million in targeted grant funding to address homelessness, streets, library, fire, planning; and we have several million dollars more in the pipeline.”

“In 1991, we were a city of 20,000 with a big vision for the future. Today, with a population of nearly 120,000, we are living that vision,” he said. “Murrieta is 30 years strong and getting better all of the time. We are growing and evolving while embracing our rich history but most importantly, we are members of a connected community that genuinely cares about each other. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to live and work with all of you in our wonderful city of Murrieta. The future is bright, and I am thrilled you are all going to be a part of it.”

Before the start of a sit-down question and answer session between Ellis and Vinton, the audience was shown a montage of taped 30th birthday wishes from organizations and businesses throughout Murrieta. Ellis began his part by stating that resiliency is a great descriptor of what the city demonstrated during the past year and a half. His questions asked for more details on many of the subjects that Vinton brought up during his speech.

Ellis said when Vinton commented in the video that Murrieta is a big city with a small-town feel, he felt that summed up how many of the residents feel and thinks it describes Murrieta perfectly.

Vinton ended the evening by saying, “I really want to commend our residents and staff for providing that hometown feel because that makes Murrieta different and I could not be more proud of this city and it’s truly an honor to be serving for the city.”

LOCAL NONPROFIT f r om p ag e A - 1

Assemblymember Kelly Seyarto, center, chose Animal Friends of the Valleys as the 2021 California Nonprofit of the Year for the 67th Assembly District. A reception was held on July 1 to celebrate.

During a tour of the AFV kennels on July 1, visitors ask questions about dogs available for adoption.

families, and Animal Friends of the Valleys provides an invaluable service by helping them find their forever home.”

To celebrate being honored by the California Association of Nonprofits for its contributions, staff hosted a reception on July 1 at the Wildomar shelter. Guests included many elected officials from the communities it serves.

Seyarto presented a proclamation that read in part, “the relationship between a community and nonprofit organization is a vital and interdependent one, deriving strength from the civic involvement and dedication of those who engage with such organizations, the many positive outcomes these organizations make possible, and the spirit of cooperation and respect they foster within the communities to which they contribute, and Animal Friends of the Valleys is one such stellar nonprofit organization.”

Furthermore, Seyarto’s proclamation noted “Animal Friends of the Valleys evidences a true commitment to its core values, which include compassion for animals; employee excellence; outstanding community and customer service; the building of strong networks, partnerships, and alliances; educational advocacy; and fiscal responsibility.”

An avid animal lover, Seyarto has a chihuahua mix named Allie and two grand-fur babies they like to call, that belong to his daughter, who are rescues. He has been involved with the organization since its inception. He said choosing it as nonprofit of the year was an easy pick and he was happy to applaud their efforts with this recognition.

He said this past year has been tough and that faithful pets have helped many people get through the challenges of the pandemic.

“What sometimes gets lost is that our furry friends who have been home with us while we are stuck there, they don’t know it, but they turn into therapy dogs – they’re there for everything,” Seyarto said.

Originally formed in 1987 under the name Lake Elsinore Animal Friends (LEAF), Animal Friends of the Valleys (AFV) is a nonprofit animal shelter that serves the cities of Canyon Lake, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Murrieta, Temecula, Wildomar and surrounding rural county areas.

Last year, AFV opened its doors to more than 8,500 animals and reported its highest adoption rate in its 30-year history. When it first moved to the Wildomar facility in 2010, the organization had a 20% live release rate meaning only one out of five animals left the facility alive. The current rate is 90% live release for dogs and about 75% for cats. In 1996, AFV took in about 16,000 animals but this past year, it was halved thanks to cities’ mandatory spay and neuter requirements as well as increased micro-chipping.

Murrieta Councilmember Jonathan Ingram has been involved with the nonprofit for many years and said, “This is a great organization that really serves Southwest Riverside County well.”

Micki Taylor, representing Senator Melissa Melendez’s office, thanked AFV for what they have done for the community, adding “we are lucky to have you in our district.”

Taylor volunteered at the shelter when she was younger, alongside her dad when he retired from the Marine Corps. The Murrieta resident said the experience was helpful to both of them and as a result she holds a special place in

her heart for AFV and the great work they continue to do.

Corey Uhden, on behalf of Assemblymember Marie Waldron’s office, thanked AFV for its “continued contribution to our community” as he congratulated them on their latest honor. Courtney Fletcher, with the City of Temecula, represented the city council and thanked AFV for “helping our furry friends grow stronger” and adding that “we look forward to a continued partnership.”

AFV also took the opportunity of this public reception to share the news that it will be converting the old Wildomar Chamber of Commerce building into an onsite spay and neuter clinic.

Alexis Rascon, AFV’s media and marketing coordinator and an animal care specialist, said the shelter currently has about 300 animals in its care, although some are in the process of being adopted.

“We get a ton more cats than dogs,” she said during a tour of the facility she guided with Event and Media Manager Carolina Calderon. “The cats don’t take up as much space, but they make up for it in numbers.”

Calderon pointed out that the large outdoor caged area is used to take the dogs out twice a day to get fresh air and exercise. “It’s healthy for them to get out of their rooms.

We also have a great dog-walking program for volunteers.”

Earlier, she stated in a news release that Animal Friends of the Valleys “is dedicated to promoting humane care of animals through education, and proactive animal service programs. AFV’s vision is to be recognized as the leading shelter by providing a safe haven for all small animals while becoming a full-service animal care facility that offers quality and affordable care. Through community involvement and education, AFV will reach our vision to help end pet overpopulation and find a loving home for every adoptable pet in our shelter.”

Director of Development Beth Soltysiak said, “Animal Friends of the Valleys’ Board of Directors, staff and animal control officers are thrilled with this outstanding award, nominated by Assemblyman Kelly Seyarto of District 67.

This past year has been difficult, AFV remained open throughout the pandemic. Our focus was on the animals and those struggling through this period. Animals bring comfort and laughter, which has been so important this past year.

Thank you to all of our cities, chambers and community members that help support Animal Friends of the Valleys and especially Assemblymember Kelly Seyarto for this award.”

Soltysiak reminded everyone at the event that along with housing and caring for cats, dogs and a few other types of animals, the nonprofit offers many community service opportunities such as a pet pantry for those that find it challenging to feed their pets, spay and neuter vouchers, a weekly reading program and more.

California Association of Nonprofits’ CEO Jan Masaoka said the pandemic of the past year and a half put nonprofits in the spotlight.

“California Nonprofit of the Year is an opportunity for our elected officials to celebrate the good work they see nonprofits doing in their districts, and for everyone to appreciate the collective impact of nonprofits in our communities,” she said.

Subodh Ghimire named Artist of the Month by Arts Council Menifee

Subodh Ghimire has been named July’s Artist of the Month

by Arts Council Menifee.

Valley News/Courtesy photo

Jim T. Gammill SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

A wide variety of artists have been recognized by Arts Council Menifee over the years and each of them has brought their own unique view on art in their respective mediums. The selection for July is a man who has become an increasingly large part of Menifee’s artistic community over the last few years; his work is bold, con-

temporary, and is a reflection of his unique experiences in culture and in life.

Subodh Ghimire was born and raised in Nepal and felt a pull toward the arts from a very early age.

In fact, the artist cannot remember a time in which art was not part of his life. One of his earliest memories of art was drawing a fox running away after visiting the cinema with his parents. It wasn’t long before those around him began to notice his talents and Ghimire was even recognized for his artistic prowess by the Queen Mother of Nepal when the country was still a monarchy. After completing his school years, Ghimire found himself pulled in a different direction and embraced the study of the sciences in his college career. After graduation, he worked as a police officer in Nepal until he, along with his wife and daughter, chose to relocate to Virginia in June 2016, a locale that the couple had visited on occasion and grew to be fond of.

Shortly before the time of his move, Ghimire had an opportunity to showcase his art at an exhibition

organized by the Lions Clubs International. Held in Southern France, he was awarded Best in Show out of a group of 120 artists. It didn’t take long for the artist to do the same in his newfound homeland.

Ghimire also had a successful solo exhibition in The Focus Gallery in Washington D.C in January 2018.

Subodh and his family relocated to Menifee in August 2018, and he has been part of the artistic community ever since. He has work featured in ACM art shows and can often be found volunteering or providing advice to local artists in the Arts Council Boutique located in The Sun City Plaza.

When asked about his goals as an artist Ghimire said, “It is my hope to increase the awareness and visibility of the contemporary arts in Menifee. We are not very far from LAs, but much of the focus is on more traditional styles. Don’t get me wrong, I love them too, but contemporary art is my passion and I love sharing it whenever I get the opportunity.”

The colors and subjects of Ghimire’s paintings are enough to

generate interest on their own but become more intriguing after learning about what inspires much of his work by many. Like many artists, Ghimire draws from his life experiences for inspiration.

Growing up in Nepal gave the artist an opportunity to live in the country of Buddha and to see “the same moon that Buddha saw on the day of his birth.” Buddha was a common subject in some of his early work and his background and education in the sciences along with his master’s degree in Conflict and Peace can also be seen in many of his other pieces. For example, Ghimire’s Ultra-Speed series depicts traditional Native American figures as the artist imagines they would look if they were able to travel faster than light. The result are dynamic pieces that present movement, brilliant use of colors, and dynamic focal points that provoke thought and encourage conversation.

“I’m creating perspective free artworks in the form of both paintings and installations,” Ghimire said. “This could be a unique and

Arts Council Menifee is happy to have Subodh Ghimire as part of its artistic community and is proud to recognize him as their official selection for Artist of the Month for July 2021.

Movie review: ‘F9: The Fast Saga’ Bob Garver SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

“F9: The Fast Saga” is the latest entry in the franchise started by “The Fast and the Furious” in 2001, which has been really inconsistent in its naming of each subsequent sequel. Vin Diesel returns as Dominic Toretto, a drag racer turned thief turned unofficial secret agent. He’s joined by his wife Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), sister Mia (Jordana Brewster), and friends Roman (Tyrese Gibson), Tej (Ludacris), and Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel) in going on missions to save the world, missions that always involve driving cars fast and dangerously, “furiously” if you will.

For this ninth installment (10th if you count the Diesel-less spinoff “Hobbs & Shaw”), the film throws

a curve at Dom in the form of his estranged brother Jakob (John Cena). Jakob played a part in sabotaging their father’s race car as a kid, resulting in his death. Dom drove Jakob off (pun intended) in a drag race, but now his brother has resurfaced and is working with a spoiled German (Thue Ersted Rasmussen) to steal a device that will give them control over weapons systems around the world. Jakob and Otto have enlisted the services of the franchise’s main villain Cipher (Charlize Theron), but she’s so cunning and megalomaniacal, it’s like she’s enlisted them.

The best thing about the film, as always, is the action sequences, filled with affronts to the laws of physics. Here we get a chase through a jungle (complete with a collapsing bridge, a minefield, and a car stuck between two rocks

upside-down over a minefield), a chase through London led by Queenie Shaw (Helen Mirren), a chase through Edinburgh with electromagnets so powerful they can suck a car clean out of a building, and an outer-space manual shutdown of a satellite using a car with a rocket engine, but which still counts as a “car” sequence.

Perhaps the most heavily promoted aspect of the film is the return of Han (Sung Kang), a character killed off in the third movie. It’s nice to have the likable character back, but this is at least the third time the franchise has brought back a character thought to be dead, after Letty resurfaced in the sixth movie and a villain turning out to be merely severely injured in the seventh. It’s like this series can’t keep anyone dead unless they were in the first

movie, are a secondary villain, or have to go off and film “Wonder Woman.” Even the real-life death of Paul Walker isn’t sticking for his character, a creative decision I find distasteful, quite frankly. I get that these movies want to keep Walker’s memory alive but keeping him “alive” this literally isn’t doing anyone any favors. In fact, it detracts from the perfect send-off he had in the seventh movie.

The real problem I have with all the resurrections and impossible survivals is that it removes consequences from the characters’ actions. If someone’s car explodes, they can just walk away from the explosion (admittedly Dom’s father doesn’t, at least as far as I know, but at least one other explosion is survived in this film).

If they fall from a great height, they can just land on a cushion.

This makes me less scared of the characters exploding, falling and crashing in the first place and detracts from the film’s excitement.

I know I’m supposed to “turn off my brain and enjoy the ride” with these movies, and I’ve been able to enjoy them in the past, but for this installment, I was bored.

I was bored with the inevitability that these characters will survive no matter what they do. Even the characters themselves are getting bored with always surviving, and they make mention of it. If the “Fast Saga” wants to retain its fanbase, it can’t afford to be boring.

Grade: C “F9: The Fast Saga” is rated PG13 for sequences of violence and action, and language. Its running time is 145 minutes.

Menifee Environmental Justice Workshop draws few public participants Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

An Environmental Justice Workshop in Menifee brought few residents to the meeting to discuss many major environmental issues facing the public in the next few years including air quality, water quality and nutrition and access to healthy foods.

The public workshop moderated

by Menifee Senior Planner Doug Darnell, brought representatives from Kimley-Horn Consultants for the presentation that was to seek public input on a newer addition to the city’s sixth annual state Housing Community Development requirement for an environmental justice report that must be submitted later this month.

The workshop, held after public notice was posted at the Motte Historical Museum at 28380 Highway 74, brought less than a dozen people for the meet designed to solicit comments from residents on the issues. The City in its General Plan and HCD report that must be submitted before October is currently working on updating their report.

The workshop was initially designed to offer three separate work stations for those attending. The three issues to be discussed were housing, transportation and quality

of life. For the lack of resident representation, the three stations were combined into one station where many comments were solicited and recorded for the report.

Many if the issues centered around the City’s future quality of life where there were some suggestions for the city to open more community gardens, more parks provided by the city, encourage more to participate in community events and activities in churches and nonprofits One resident was critical of the move to bring in more warehouses to the city and the lack of those people actually seeking employment outside of their homes.

In the housing element, Darnell - after hearing questions about the new state quotas for more than 6,000 homes including very low and low income residents - said, “there are many low income housing to meet the gap in the Regional Housing Needs Assessment.” He cited a number landowners have been contacted about their plans to build and rezoning with some in support of the effort and others who are not. It was reported there are 11 land sites to be rezoned for higher density populations that will help meet the gap in the city.

“The city is in good shape for the HCD,” Darnell said.

He said the city has had three

community housing meetings with the public to date but more input from the public is welcome.

More workshops on the HCD are

planned before the final EIR and other reports are due.

The results and suggestions from the workshop will be ap-

County extends fire protection and EMS contracts with cities Joe Naiman WRITER

Four separate 5-0 Riverside County Board of Supervisors votes June 29 approved new Riverside County Fire Department contracts to provide fire protection and emergency medical service to incorporated cities in southwest Riverside County.

The $17,088,656 contract with the City of Lake Elsinore is for two years and retains the past level of service as the previous contract.

The $13,652,700 contract with the City of San Jacinto is for three years and converts a paramedic squad at Station 25 into a medic engine. The $16,956,560 contract with the City of Temecula is for one year and does not change the previous level of service. The $11,584,907 contract with the City of Wildomar is for three years and adds a paramedic squad for Station 61.

Lake Elsinore has contracted with the county for fire protection and emergency medical services

since 1990. The most recent contract was approved in 2018. The new contract took effect July 1 and will run through June 30, 2023. The Riverside County Fire Department will provide 35 staff members for Lake Elsinore’s four fire stations.

The Riverside County Fire Department has been providing service to the City of San Jacinto since 1984, and the most recent contract prior to the new one was approved in 2018. The new contract, which covers July 1,

2021 through June 30, 2024, will provide seven staff members at Station 25 and eight staff members at Station 78.

The City of Temecula has contracted with the Riverside County Fire Department since 1990. The new contract took effect July 1 and will expire on June 30, 2022.

The county fire department will provide 15 staff members.

The City of Wildomar contract will run from July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2024. The contract provides 13 staff members for fire stations in the city. Wildomar first contracted with the county in 2008.

The road back to normalcy after the COVID-19 pandemic figures to have some twists and turns.

Even after the rollout of vaccines began in late 2020, public health agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization emphasized the importance of people keeping their collective guard up, as previously unseen variants of the virus were still being discovered.

A slow march toward recovery has begun, but the uphill nature of that march underscores how important it is that communities continue to come together to support each other as well as the locally owned businesses that make towns and cities so unique. Consumers who want to help the local businesses in their community rebound and thrive in the months and years ahead can show their support in various ways.

Take charge of your to-go order.

Convenience became the name of the game when ordering food during the pandemic. Curbside pickup service was offered as a safety measure, and many restaurants that never previously offered delivery or takeout started to do so to generate revenue at a time when in-person dining was limited if not disallowed. Some restaurants began offering delivery through apps like Grubhub or Uber Eats, and though that may be convenient for diners, restaurants must pay a fee to utilize those apps. In lieu of ordering through a third party delivery service, consumers can take charge of their to-go orders

and pick up the food themselves.

That saves restaurants the delivery app surcharge, allowing them to increase net profits on the meals they sell.

Continue to be loyal. A recent study from researchers at the Harvard Business School found that a customer’s eighth purchase was an average of 80% higher than his or her first purchase. That highlights just how valuable repeat customers are to small businesses.

Consumers who have had positive experiences with small businesses in their communities in the past can continue to support those companies by looking to them first when they need new products or services. Doing so not only helps small businesses retain more customers, but it increases the likelihood that consumers will again have positive buying experiences.

Share experiences via social media. Small businesses recognize the value of social media. A 2021 survey from Visual Objects found that 74% of small businesses in the United States are active on their social media accounts at least once each week. Social media can become even more valuable to small businesses when their customers utilize such platforms to share positive experiences and encourage their friends and neighbors to patronize local businesses.

Consumers can take various steps to support small businesses in their communities as such establishments look to regroup and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.

HOME & GARDEN

As summer officially kicks off, NFPA provides safety guidance for grilling and outdoor activities With summer officially here and COVID-19 restrictions loosening around the country, many people will look to grilling, cookouts, and other outdoor gatherings to enjoy the warm weather. The National Fire Protection Association, a global self-funded nonprofit organization devoted to eliminating death, injury, property, and economic loss due to fire, electrical and related hazards, is providing important reminders and guidelines for safely enjoying these activities.

Make sure your gas grill is working properly Leaks or breaks are primarily a problem with gas grills. Check the gas tank hose for leaks before using it for the first time each year.

If your grill has a gas leak detected by smell or the soapy bubble test, and there is no flame, turn off both the gas tank and the grill. If the leak stops, get the grill serviced by a professional before using it again. If the leak does not stop, call the fire department.

If you smell gas while cooking, immediately get away from the grill and do not move it. If the flame goes out, turn the grill and gas off and wait at least five minutes before re-lighting it.

Never leave equipment unattended Make sure to closely monitor food cooking on the grill. Turn the grill off promptly when you’re done cooking, and let it cool completely before returning it to its original location.

For campfires, fire pits and chimineas, always have a hose, bucket of water, or shovel and dirt or sand nearby, and make sure the fire is completely out before going to sleep or leaving the area.

Keep equipment a safe distance from things that can burn.

Place your grill well away (at least 3 feet) from anything that can burn, including deck railings and

overhanging branches; also keep them out from under eaves.

Keep portable grills a safe distance from lawn games, play areas and foot traffic.

Keep children and pets well away from any type of equipment in use.

In areas where campfires are permitted, they must be at least 25 feet away from any structure

and anything that can burn. Also make sure to clear away dry leaves and sticks, overhanging low branches and shrubs.

Use fuel and fire starters properly If you use a starter fluid to ignite charcoal, use only charcoal starter fluid. Never add charcoal fluid or any other flammable liquids to the fire.

Keep charcoal fluid out of the reach of children and away from heat sources.

Never use gasoline or other flammable or combustible liquids on firepits, chimineas or campfires.

For electric charcoal starters, which do not use fire, make sure the extension cord you are using is designed for outdoor use.

If a fire breaks out, call the fire department For any type of outdoor fire that can’t be quickly and effectively extinguished, call the fire department immediately for assistance.

Best Friends Animal Society urges people to protect pets from heat Summer is in full swing, and temperatures in many parts of the country are already alarmingly high. While some states may still be enjoying moderate weather, others are suffering highs hotter than the dog days of summer.

It’s hard to beat the heat even with easy access to air conditioning, icy drinks and refreshing swimming pools. Imagine how our furry friends feel on these sweltering days when they are dependent on us for protection from the high temperatures and the sun’s sizzling rays.

An estimated 10 million or more households have acquired a cat or dog since the beginning of the pandemic, so that’s a lot of new pets, and potentially a lot of firsttime pet parents. Some people may be experiencing their first summer with their pets, and others may be simply getting out and about more, and bringing pets along with them on errands or on road trips. Best Friends Animal Society seeks to help pet owners keep their animals safe in the heat.

Many people are surprised to hear that most experts consider an outside temperature of 70 degrees to be warm enough that it may be unsafe to leave a pet inside a car, even for a short errand. Studies vary, but many show that the temperature inside a car on a 70-egree day can rise to 89 degrees in 10 minutes, and to 104 degrees in only a half-hour.

Best Friends conducted an experiment on a 95-degree day and discovered that the temperature inside a car, with windows down a few inches, increased from 69 to 140 degrees in 10 minutes.

Heat stroke can occur when an animal’s temperature rises to a critical level. Normal body temperatures for dogs and cats range from 100 to 102.5 degrees. When

WE BUILD YOUR BRAND

a dog’s temperature rises to 108 degrees, or a cat’s to 106 degrees, they can suffer irreparable organ damage and even die.

According to Best Friends veterinarians, signs of heat stroke include heavy panting that does not resolve as the pet rests, increasing distress, a tongue color that is dark red to almost purple, weakness or collapse, hypersalivation, vomiting and labored breathing.

If you suspect a dog or c a t i s s u ff e r i n g f r o m h e a t stroke move them to a cooler environment immediately and apply cool water to the abdomen, ears and footpads. To prevent shock, don’t pour ice water over the whole animal; submerge them in a tub of cold water or cover them in a cold, wet blanket. Once stable, get them to a vet clinic as quickly as possible, even if they seem to be cooling down and their temperature seems normal. Things may be happening on the inside that are not obvious from the outside.

A variety of situations like the extreme heat of a parked car, going for midday hikes or walks, or simply being in a yard with no shade can cause an animal to overheat. Best Friends Animal Society recommends taking a few simple precautions to keep dogs and cats healthy and comfortable as the mercury rises: Keep pets indoors during the day. It may sound obvious but it’s hottest outside when the sun is up.

Quick walks and bathroom breaks are fine, but try to keep your pet in the shade.

If pets do spend time outside during the day, ensure that they have access to shade at all hours of the day. Dogs on tethers are especially vulnerable because they could become entangled out of reach of shade or water. Grass and greenery help keep the yard

cooler, too.

Provide pets with fresh, cool water at all times. During the heat of summer, water should be dumped and refilled often. Most dogs won’t drink hot water no matter how thirsty they are.

Exercise dogs during the cooler morning or evening hours, not in the intense afternoon heat. Dogs who are older or overweight, have a thick coat or a pushed-in nose like bulldogs, Boston terriers and pugs - are especially at risk of overheating. Bring water for both you and your pet, or a collapsible bowl if there’s a water source on your route.

Be aware of the temperature of the sidewalk, asphalt, sand or even packed dirt as these can cause burns to your pet’s paw pads if they are too hot.

Consult a veterinarian about whether your pet needs a petapproved sunscreen on exposed areas. Dogs with bald patches or minimal coats may need sunscreen, as well as dogs like Nordic breeds who are prone to autoimmune related sun diseases.

Never leave your pet in a parked car when the outside temperature is above 70 degrees. Even with the windows partway down, even in the shade, even for a quick errand. Dogs and cats can’t sweat like humans, so they pant to lower their body temperature. If they are inside a car, recycling hot air, panting gives no relief, and heat stroke can happen quickly.

A little empathy goes a long way in protecting our pets from extreme weather. If it is too hot for us to stay comfortable in the car, in the yard or on a walk, it’s even hotter for our furry friends.

Estancia Senior Living to host first public open house on July 14

The open house is a last call to earn Charter Resident savings and benefits Estancia Senior Living in Fallbrook is proud to announce it will open its doors for senior living with supportive care and memory care in July. The community is excited to host an open house on July 14 from 3-6 p.m. This event will be the last opportunity to take advantage of pre-open Charter Resident savings and benefits.

The public is invited to meet the Estancia team, take a tour, and learn more about what the community will offer local seniors. Enjoy food, drinks, door prizes and a raffle for a special prize package.

“We are so excited to share our beautiful community with the greater Fallbrook and North County area,” Beverly McGuirk, Executive Director of Estancia Senior Living, said. “Our community is getting ready to welcome our first Charter Residents this month, and we’re ready to show off the lifestyle and quality care you can expect at Estancia.”

The Charter Resident program is an incentive package offered to seniors who reserve their apartment prior to opening. With just a few weeks left, the open house will be the last call for these savings. Anyone interested in senior living is encouraged to attend or inquire to take advantage of the offer.

Estancia Senior Living, managed by national seniors housing operator Meridian Senior Living, is at 1735 S. Mission Road in Fallbrook and features two stories spanning 89,000 square feet. Estancia will accommodate 78 senior living residences ranging from studio to two-bedroom

apartments, and 29 private or companion suites in memory care.

The community offers support to seniors who need little or more care, as well as a secure memory care neighborhood that will be home to the community’s distinctive Montessori Moments in Time programming for residents with dementia.

At Estancia, residents can expect best-in-class service and an active, engaged lifestyle. The daily activity program is led by

the Life Enrichment Coordinator (LEC) and offers a robust social calendar. Scheduled activities and social events include elegant entertainment with wine and cocktails, live music, educational lectures, and various social outings such as to the driving range, air park picnic site, and local museums. Estancia Senior Living’s expert culinary team, led by its executive chef, will ensure exciting events, like wine tastings and monthly international food nights.

HEALTH

The risks of an overly sedentary lifestyle

Moving every 30 minutes is one way to reduce the harmful effects of a Valley News/ C our t esy p h ot o sedentary lifestyle.

Health experts call it “sitting disease.” It refers to when people spend more of their time behind a desk or steering wheel of a car or

planted in front of a television than they do engaging in physical activity. According to the American Heart Association, sedentary jobs

have increased by 83% since 1950, and technology has reduced many people’s need to get up and move.

Inactivity is taking a considerable toll on public health.

A study from the University of Cambridge equated inactivity with being obese. The Mayo Clinic advises that research has linked sedentary behavior to a host of health concerns, and found those who sat for more than eight hours a day with no physical activity had a risk of dying similar to the risks of fatality linked to obesity and smoking. Increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, abnormal cholesterol levels, and excess body fat all can be attributed to inactivity.

Mental health can be adversely affected by a sedentary lifestyle as well. Australian researchers surveyed more than 3,300 government employees and found men who sat for more than six hours a day at

work were 90% more likely to feel moderate psychological distress, such as restlessness, nervousness or hopelessness, than those who sat for less than three hours a day.

In addition, a sedentary lifestyle can significantly increase a person’s risk for various types of cancer. A German meta-analysis of 43 studies involving four million people indicated those who sit the most have higher propensities to develop colon cancer, endometrial cancer and lung cancer.

Johns Hopkins Medical Center says research shows that high levels of exercise at some point in the day can lessen some risk, but it’s not entirely effective if most of the rest of the day a person is inactive. Risk for cardiovascular disease increases significantly for people who spend 10 hours or more sitting each day.

Various medical organizations

recommend individuals get up and move at any opportunity to help reduce risks of inactivity. Erin Michos, M.D., M.H.S., associate director of preventive cardiology at the Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease, advises people who are very sedentary to aim for 4,000 steps per day. Such individuals can then build up to a target of 10,000 steps daily.

The Mayo Clinic recommends these strategies to reduce the amount of time you spend sitting: stand while talking on the phone or watching television; invest in a standing desk; get up from sitting every 30 minutes; walk at lunch or during meetings.

Sedentary lifestyles can affect health in many negative ways.

But there are various ways to get up and go during the course of a typical day.

Public social service offices return to normal business hours Social service offices that offer access to food, housing and health services returned to normal business hours July 1, to serve Riverside County residents in the post-pandemic recovery.

Most lobbies will reopen Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The hours of public access had been temporarily reduced to curtail the spread of COVID-19. Economic disruptions from the global health crisis exposed the vulnerabilities of many Riverside County families and individuals.

Last year, DPSS provided 1 mil-

lion people with access to health and human services in the nation’s tenth most populous county. At the height of the pandemic, Riverside County saw a 20% increase in customers.

Many who were struggling before and during the pandemic will need continued support through programs such as job training and assistance with food, housing, child care and health benefits that DPSS offers, according to Allison Gonzalez, assistant director of Self Sufficiency Services in Riverside County.

“We are pleased to welcome our communities back and are here to provide assistance to help people get on their feet,” Gonzalez said.

“Our hope is to see individuals and communities emerge from the pandemic stronger and more resilient than before.”

As on-site locations return to pre-pandemic hours, Gonzalez and others continue to encourage customers and applicants to access services by internet or phone and to schedule an appointment when possible.

Women’s health risks different from men Studies show that various health issues are influenced by gender Dr. Rahele Mazarei, DO, BOARD-CERTIFIED OBSTETRICIAN AND GYNECOLOGIST WITH OPTUM

Some women fail to see their doctor for a yearly well-visit because they say they are just too busy. Some may put it off because they fear going out in public during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sadly, undetected breast cancer can metastasize and take lives. Early detection, however, can lead to treatment that can save lives.

This example points out the importance of regular medical checkups for women, particularly because women have health risks that are different from men: Symptoms of coronary artery disease and heart attack may be different between men and women.

Women are twice as likely as men to experience depression.

Women have a harder time quitting smoking than men.

Osteoporosis is more common in women.

Even the results of common screening tests may be different between the sexes.

May was Women’s Health Month; but it is a good reminder to schedule your annual women’s well-visit with your doctor to talk about preventive care and screenings that check for risk factors for chronic conditions and early signs of disease. Women should consider a variety of screenings depending

on their age or risk factors.

Mammograms are the best way to find breast cancer early, when it’s easier to treat and before it’s big enough to feel or cause symptoms. It’s also good practice to talk with your doctor about contraceptives and sexually transmitted infections. Testing for cervical cancer will help detect the highrisk human papillomavirus virus which can lead to cervical cancer.

Some diseases such as diabetes are difficult to detect without medical tests. Women can develop diabetes during pregnancy known as gestational diabetes. Others may want to be screened for diabetes mellitus, a group of diseases that affect how your body uses blood sugar, after pregnancy.

About 700 women die each year in the U.S. from complications due to pregnancy. American Indian, Alaska Native and Black women are two to three times more likely to die of pregnancy-related causes than white women. But, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, two out of three pregnancy-related deaths are considered preventable.

Anxiety screenings may be appropriate given the high levels of anxiety disorders pregnant or post postpartum women experience, as well as women who may be victims of domestic violence. And women are twice as likely as men to experience depression, with some experiencing mood symptoms related to

hormone changes during puberty, pregnancy and perimenopause.

It’s very important to be attentive to mental health, including managing stress and getting enough sleep, and getting active.

Because of differences in a woman’s anatomy, they are at higher risk for some types of physical injuries, such as ACL tears that can occur while playing sports.

And, because there may be differences in symptoms of coronary artery disease and heart attacks between women and men, the results of common screening tests may also be different, leading to a misdiagnosis.

Nicotine replacement therapies, such as patches or gum, work better in men than women. This may be because women metabolize nicotine, the addictive ingredient in tobacco, faster than men, making it harder for women to quit smoking.

For women aged 50 and continuing to age 75, there are additional health concerns: Colorectal cancer screenings are encouraged.

Osteoporosis is more common because they have less bone mass than men and can experience more bone loss during hormonal changes at menopause.

Being aware of gender influenced health risks can help you take preventive measures to begin and achieve better health at any age or life circumstances.

Beware the threat of overuse injuries Momentum can be a valuable asset as people pursue their fitness goals. Once a fitness routine picks up steam and begins to produce results, the resulting momentum can make it easier for individuals to fully commit to exercise and ultimately achieve, if not exceed, their initial goals.

A successful fitness regimen includes various components, not the least of which is sufficient rest.

As individuals gain momentum and inch closer to their fitness goals, it can be tempting to skip off days. But rest is vital, allowing the body to recover and thus reducing athletes’ risk for various injuries, including overuse injuries.

What is an overuse injury?

All physical activities carry a certain measure of risk. Athletes and fitness enthusiasts suffer injuries each day that have nothing to do with overuse. Such injuries often aren’t preventable, but overuse injuries are. According to the Mayo Clinic, overuse injuries are caused by repetitive trauma. These injuries affect muscles or joints,

and may be caused by training errors or mistakes with technique.

Training errors include exercising for too long or doing too much of a certain activity. The resulting strain caused by overuse leads to injury. One common example of a technique error that can cause an overuse injury is improper form when performing strength training exercises. That’s one reason why it’s vital for anyone beginning a new fitness regimen to consult with a coach or personal trainer prior to starting. Coaches and personal trainers can illustrate proper techniques when using strength training equipment or lifting free weights. Such instruction can greatly reduce athletes’ risk for overuse injuries.

Can other factors contribute to overuse injuries?

Athletes should know that overuse injuries are not always a result of errors with their training or technique. A 2014 study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine noted that certain intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors can increase

athletes’ risk for overuse injuries.

Intrinsic risk factors for overuse injury include misalignment issues, leg length discrepancy, muscle imbalance, muscle weakness, and body composition. Adults and parents of young athletes should discuss fitness regimens with their physicians or children’s pediatricians prior to beginning a routine.

Such a discussion may uncover intrinsic risk factors athletes are unaware they have.

Extrinsic risk factors for overuse injuries include surfaces; equipment, including shoes; environmental conditions; and nutrition.

Athletes can act as their own watchdogs to prevent overuse injuries caused by extrinsic factors, examining equipment and playing surfaces to ensure they’re functional and safe, and eating a well-balanced, nutritious diet.

Overuse injuries are almost always preventable. Though it can be hard to take a break from an exercise routine that’s producing results, rest is integral to a successful fitness regimen.

2021 All-Southwestern League baseball and softball teams announced VALLEY NEWS SPORTS DEPARTMENT

The Southwestern League baseball and softball coaches recently met to go over the selections for the All-League teams. Murrieta Mesa was the host school for both meetings as the Rams took the spot on the baseball and softball fields this past season.

The Lady Rams softball team went 13-2 in the Southwestern league and took the league title in dramatic fashion with their final game win over second-place Vista Murrieta (12-3). Murrieta Mesa also showcased the Southwestern League MVP, Jaelyn Eaves, while top pitching honors went to Temecula Valley’s Jada Cecil. Eaves had a .380 batting average with 27 hits and 8 home runs.

Murrieta Mesa had three firstteam selections and two second-team selections, as did Vista Murrieta. Great Oak and Temecula Valley had two selections for each team and Murrieta Valley and Chaparral had one first-team selection, with two second team picks to round things off.

Murrieta Mesa was also the first-place team on the baseball diamond. The Rams went 12-3 in league play and won their school’s second-ever Southwestern League title, matching their softball team with the same accolade as well.

Colby Moran (Murrieta Mesa) was named MVP of the Southwestern League, while teammate, Jhayden Raineri, was named Pitcher of the Year.

Moran hit .377 in the Southwestern League with 17 hits, 13 RBIs and 2 HRs. Raineri led the Southwestern League going 6-0 on the mound with a 2.43 ERA, 51 strikeouts and only gave up one extra base hit and one home run in his seven league appearances.

The Rams also had three firstteam selections and two secondteam picks, Vista Murrieta had two first-team selections and two second-team nods, along with Temecula Valley, and Chaparral and Murrieta Valley both had one first-team selection and two selections each for the second-team.

Extra nine holes worth the wait for Wilson who claims first professional victory with chip in

It was all fireworks for Matt Wilson of Cypress as he chipped in on the ninth playoff hole to claim the 121st California State Open with a four-day total 14-under par 274.

Valley News/ A nd r ez I mag i ng p h ot os

Derryl Trujillo INLAND SPORTS SENIOR WRITER

As the leaderboard began bunching up in Thursday afternoon’s final round of the California State Open, which was being played at the Bear Creek Golf Course in Murrieta, it was becoming clear that extra holes were going to be likely in crowning a champion.

Down the stretch it looked as if five or six guys could be in that playoff, but title challengers eventually fell away until two men completed regulation at -14 (274).

Then it took Matt Wilson (Fullerton) and Christopher Evans (Bermuda Dunes) an extra nine holes to decide a winner, beating the eight it took Harris English to win last week’s PGA Tour Travelers’ Championship in Hartford.

Wilson ended it with a chip-in on the ninth extra hole from 20 feet short of the flag and became the 113th different name to go on this trophy.

For much of the round it looked as if Murrieta’s Josh Anderson and Ramona’s Christian Rajcic were going to be a part of any playoff proceedings, joining their competitor Evans for extra holes. However, they would end up missing by a shot after bogeying three of their final four holes combined.

Both Anderson (rolling in an uphill 20-footer) and Rajcic (making a 10-foot putt with about a hole of break) started off their rounds with a birdie at number one.

Anderson then had a two hole stretch of bogey and double bogey on seven and eight and fell back

to -10 before draining an 85-foot eagle putt at nine to turn in even par 36 and stay at -12.

Rajcic reached the par five third in two and two putted from thirty feet along with nearly holing out at four from 140 yards to reach -15.

However, he too had bogeys late in the front nine (five and seven-short three putt) to turn in -1 (35) and -13 overall.

After a bogey at the second, Evans made three birdies in seven holes by two putting both par fives (three and nine-two putt from 70 feet) after reaching in two and converting a 25-foot birdie putt at eight to turn in -13 and -2 on his round.

Wilson turned in -2 (34) and got to -11 after three birdies at two, five, and nine which offset a lone bogey at one. Playing two groups ahead of the leaders he had the opportunity to post and then wait.

Anderson birdied ten (stuck an approach to ten feet), eleven (reached the par 5 in two), and fourteen (was just over the back on a par 5 in two and got up and down) to reach -15. However, he made two late bogeys at seventeen and eighteen after missing the greens with wedges to fall by a shot.

I spoke with the Murrieta native on his way home, and he said, “I had a rough stretch in the middle of the round but really got hot on the back nine. Despite the late mistakes I played well this week and can carry that confidence with me as I head towards Q-School.”

After getting up and down for par at ten, Rajcic came within 2.5 feet of an albatross at eleven but missed the eagle putt and made

birdie to reach -14. He rolled in a lengthy birdie at the par three sixteenth from just outside twenty feet but bogeys at fifteen and eighteen also cost him a playoff spot.

Evans had two impressive up and downs from greenside bunkers to start his back nine at ten and eleven (for birdie) and reach -14. Two holes later he reached -15 after laying up on a short par four and spinning a wedge back to near tap in distance. A three-putt bogey from about 80 feet at sixteen dropped him to -14 and the playoff.

Wilson made four birdies in a five hole stretch at 11, 13, 14, and 15 to reach -15. However, he too made a late bogey (on eighteen) and dropped to -14, good enough for a playoff.

Neither player gave themselves a solid look at birdie during playoff holes one through seven as the greens dried out and well struck shots were bouncing out to20 or more feet. At eight (playoff alternated between No. 17 and No. 18) the two players both three putted for bogey. Then on nine they both missed the green with wedges.

Wilson was first to play, chipping in from 25 feet short, and putting the pressure on Evans whose putt from the fringe just missed.

Wilson remarked about his first professional win, “I don’t have a lot of experience in playoffs (my 2nd) but today certainly makes up for it. When I got hot there on my back nine, I didn’t take a look at scoring to see where I was and just focused on running my own race.

After the three putt I was grateful to still have life and another hole. Be-

CIF Southern Section announces summer hours

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

One week after falling to St. Bonaventure in the 2021 CIF Southern Section’s Division 6 championship match, the Linfield Christian girls’ soccer team returned to Ventura College looking for a different outcome last month. Their loss was a heartbreaker in overtime and the Lady Lions wanted redemption.

That is exactly what they got by knocking off the Seraphs, 1-0, to win the school’s first-ever CIF State Regional championship.

Linfield Christian (17-3-3), had been carrying their grudge for a week and started talking about making this opportunity happen right after their finals match-up.

St. Bonaventure’s Kaitlyn Prado was the one thing that kept standing in their way that night. Linfield had several scoring chances in the section championship match, but Prado was strong in the keeper’s box. It was a different story when they met again as the Lady Lions scored quickly in the regional title match.

Sinclair Francescon scored the goal, and the Lions recorded their

hard,” Linfield coach Angela Hernandez told the media. “They play for each other and bring character and integrity to the game every time they take the field. This is the reward they deserved.”

Heidi Marshall was clutch with her saves in the keeper box for Linfield, including three against Leilani Armenta, who scored the overtime winner in the section final. Hernandez also had plenty of praise for the back line of Eryn Warren, Francescon, Maddie Byler and Sierra Snow, who were all pivotal in helping Linfield Christian pick up their win, which was their 15th shutout of the season.

Soboba Foundation scholarships presented to local students Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Soboba Foundation sponsors many events and activities that benefit local nonprofits and school districts in the communities of Hemet and San Jacinto that neighbor the Soboba Reservation. With its mission statement to “provide financial assistance for educational and charitable activities that preserve the cultural heritage of the Soboba Band and support Native American and local community programs,” its members have always placed a strong emphasis on the pursuit of higher education for all students within the San Jacinto Valley. To this end, the Foundation recently awarded 11 local students with scholarships. Each graduate received $2,500 in unrestricted funds to assist in the continuation of their academic goals.

At its June 14 board meeting, all students were invited to receive their scholarship check, a proclamation and an honorary Soboba stole at the Soboba Tribal Administration building. The presentations were made in adherence to social distancing guidelines.

Recipients were Judith Almaraz, Academy of Innovation; Yulissa Ortiz Antunez, Mountain View High; Vanessa Fernandez, Noli Indian School; Francisco Garcia, Western Center Academy; Paola Gutierrez, Tahquitz High; Alyssa Hamlett, Hamilton High; Ricardo Orozco, San Jacinto High; Melissa Plata, West Valley High; Cameron Powers, San Jacinto Valley Academy; Amayah Purnell, Hemet

High; and, Kaylee Tomasello, Alessandro High.

Judith Almaraz plans to begin her higher education at Mt. San Jacinto College to eventually study neuropsychology in her pursuit of a career in the medical field as a researcher or clinician. Throughout high school she received awards for her outstanding abilities in math, conceptual physics and as an artist. She was also valedictorian for this year’s graduating class at the Academy of Innovation.

“It was an absolute honor to be awarded this scholarship,” Judith said. “Coming from a less privileged home, there were times where I believed I would not be able to afford college and my education has not been by chance, but by choice. I am incredibly grateful to have been given this opportunity to pursue my future goals – thank you, Soboba!”

Vanessa Fernandez, valedictorian for Noli Indian School’s Class of 2021, also won multiple awards during her high school years for writing, art, science, athletics and academics. She will be attending the University of California, Berkeley majoring in the Critical Diversities field of Native American/American Indian Studies and minoring in Fire Science.

“Having a Tribe back up and support me in furthering my education, especially as a Native American student, really sets up my hopes for other students within my ethnicity who also want to achieve the same goals as me,” Vanessa said.

Francisco Garcia carried a 4.0

GPA all four years of high school at the Western Center Academy and was an AP Scholar. He earned many academic achievement honors and will be attending the University of California, San Diego as a Computer Engineering major with a goal to help other minority students explore a fascinating, yet marginalized STEM career.

“To have been chosen is really special because college and the idea of going into debt from it has always been one of my biggest fears,” Francisco said. “Now, with the Soboba Foundation scholarship and many others I received, I don’t have to worry about that for my undergraduate studies. I’m fortunate and thankful for this opportunity.”

Melissa Plata was the valedictorian for West Valley High’s Class of 2021 where she was an AP Scholar, made Principal’s Honor Roll all four years and earned many awards for academic excellence. She will be attending the University of California, Irvine to major in Pharmaceutical Sciences and minor in Public Health.

She plans to use her education to research medications and therapies that will better society as she sets out on a path to become a physician while advocating for often-overlooked populations in the health care system.

Cameron Powers earned physical fitness and academic awards while at San Jacinto Valley Academy. He also earned a Community Service Award for 100-plus hours see SOBOBA, page C-5

MSJC selected to participate in Urban Institute’s CTE CoLab Mt. San Jacinto College is among 12 colleges nationwide to be selected by the Urban Institute’s Career and Technical Education CoLab to participate in its College Community of Practice.

MSJC’s efforts will focus on its Water Technology program, which helps students earn a degree and certificate that can lead to indemand careers at water districts in the region. The college will receive a $30,000 grant to support its participation for two years.

The Urban Institute’s CTE CoLab aims to reduce inequities in academic and career outcomes for students of color – especially students who are Black, Latinx or Indigenous – enrolled in online postsecondary Career Education programs.

As Career Education programs increasingly move online, the

CTE CoLab is partnering with 12 community and technical colleges over two years to ensure shifting coursework partially or fully online results in expanded access and strong outcomes for students of color.

“CTE programs play an important role in preparing students for good jobs. Even before the pandemic, there was evidence of equity gaps for students of color,” Shayne Spaulding, a senior fellow in the Income and Benefits Policy Center at the Washington D.C.-based Urban Institute, said.

“As so many programs have been forced online, this exciting new collaboration is in a unique position to support colleges in making their programs more inclusive and accessible, ultimately leading to higher success for students.”

MSJC’s Water Technology pro-

gram helps students find jobs and internships at regional water agencies. More than 11,000 water and wastewater plant operators are employed in California, and many of them are nearing retirement age. The average annual wage statewide is nearly $70,000, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.

“You could earn a certificate in a little more than a year and go out and find a good-paying job with great benefits in a field that is always going to be in demand,” MSJC Water Technology instructor Melita Caldwell-Betties, who is a member of the MSJC team working with the CTE CoLab, said.

With support from the Los Angeles-based Educational Credit Management Corporation (ECMC) Foundation, the CTE CoLab is a collaboration led by

While we were celebrating, the NEA was voting to teach systematic racism and they truly care about the students. They are overloaded with just doing their jobs and injecting new divisive ideology isn’t going to be popular in many places in America.

Publisher’s Note: I am using this piece below as a response to those who have written to me that CRT is not being taught in schools and that it’s another conspiracy theory. My response to them was “It’s another conspiracy theory until you figure out that it’s not.” Critical Race Theory is real and now the NEA has decided to proudly fight for it with their $350,000 annual budget.

I believe they are out of step with many of their members as they have been for decades.

I’ve observed over the years that teachers are, for the most part, nonpolitical. They are nurturers

The National Education Association, the nation’s largest teachers union, has approved a plan to implement Critical Race Theory in 14,000 school districts across all 50 states.

A document obtained by Manhattan Institute Fellow Christopher Rufo shows that the union approved a plan to spend more than $127,000 to “oppose attempts to ban critical race theory and/or The 1619 Project.”

CRT holds that America is fundamentally racist and teaches students to view every social interaction and person in terms of race. It advocates for the pursuit of “antiracism” through the end of merit, objective truth and the adoption of race-based policies.

The 1619 Project, written by

have told me that, “CRT would never fly here.” So hopefully the parents and teachers will be fully engaged and make sure our districts are focusing on core subjects instead of CRT with Maoist-like ‘struggle sessions,’ which shame white children for their skin color and accuse them of being the ‘op-

pressors’ of the ‘oppressed’ black people.

In CRT there is no real recognition or explanation of the progress made in the United States, which resulted in a two-term black president, a black female vice president, and multiple black Supreme Court Justices.

New York Times writer Nikole Hannah-Jones, holds that America’s “true founding” occurred when slaves arrived in the colonies. It attempts to rework the teaching of history to center around slavery and its consequences.

The NEA’s plan will include funding for publicizing information about CRT, money for “a team of staffers for members who want to learn more and fight back against anti-CRT rhetoric,” and will promote critiques of “cisheteropatriarchy,” “anthropocentrism,” capitalism, and “other forms of power and oppression at the intersections of our society.”

NEA president Becky Pringle also said she’d make public statements in support of CRT. Another business item adopted by the union includes a task force to explore “the role of

law enforcement in education,” including a collaboration with groups that support abolishing police presence in schools. The plan, according to the document, would “result in increasing the implementation of culturally responsive education, critical race theory, and ethnic (Native people Asian, Black, Latin(0/a/x), Middle Eastern, North African, and Pacific Islander) studies curriculum in pre- K-12 and higher education.”

The document additionally promises to join with Black Lives Matter and call for a rally Oct. 14, George Floyd’s birthday, to support “a national day of action to teach lessons about structural racism and oppression.”

Rufo urged parents to push back against the union’s efforts to promote CRT, with some parents across the country already stand-

We need to continue to focus on “equality for all” and mutual respect and continually do better.

Teacher’s union with 2.3 million members vows to support Critical Race Theory education across the country

ing up to the curriculum by making their voices heard in school board meetings. At least 165 local and national groups have formed to combat CRT, according to an NBC News analysis.

“The NEA represents 3 million public school employees in all 50 states. They have a $350 million annual budget and an army of operatives in 14,000 local communities,” Rufo said on Twitter.

“They have now declared war on parents who oppose critical race theory – and parents must fight back!”

Water for tribal governments Assemblymember Marie Waldron 75TH ASSEMBLY DISTRICT

In the late 1800s, the federal government granted San Luis Rey River water rights to the cities of Vista and Escondido, depriving local tribes of water they had used for thousands of years. In essence, allocating the water rights twice.

According to Bo Mazzetti, Rincon Tribal Chairman, “The cattle were dying. The Trees were dying.” In the 1960s the tribes sued, leading to a final settlement that was eventually agreed upon 50 years later.

As a member of the Escondido

City Council, I was involved in helping solve this issue and extremely happy that the settlement

resulted in restoration of water rights for the Rincon, Pala, Pauma, San Pasqual and La Jolla tribes, as well as the San Luis Rey Indian Water Authority. The tribes won back their water rights, and through an agreement with the Imperial Irrigation District, Escondido and Vista were also guaranteed a steady supply of Colorado River Water.

It was the perfect solution to a longstanding, highly contentious issue. As Mark Twain said, “Whiskey is for drinking, water is for fighting over.” Fortunately, in this case, there were no winners or losers.

But more help is needed. I recently joined Assemblyman Eduardo Garcia (D-Coachella) and I sent a letter to the Governor requesting that funding for water projects by the SLRIWA be included in this year’s budget.

The SLRIWA, the oldest Indian Water Authority in the United States, is requesting the funding for local infrastructure projects, and for equipment and support for local tribes that will guarantee their continued recovery and restoration of desperately needed resources. This is especially important now as we enter another drought. Legislation allocating

$15 million to the San Luis Rey Water Authority for infrastructure, equipment, access, and restoration is on the Governor’s desk, awaiting his signature.

Using California’s current surplus to fund water infrastructure should be a top priority.

EDUCATION

Stefani Sifri among University of Scranton graduate class of 2021 Stefani Sifri of Menifee was among more than 500 recipients of master’s and doctoral degrees at an in-person commencement ceremony May 22 at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza, WilkesBarre, Pennsylvania. Degrees were conferred to graduates who had completed their academic degree requirements in August and December 2020, as well as January and May 2021.

Sifri earned a Master of Business Administration degree in healthcare management from the University of Scranton.

At the ceremony, the University conferred its first doctor of business administration degrees in addition to doctor of nursing practice degrees, doctor of physical therapy degrees and master’s degrees in various disciplines. Graduates represented several foreign countries

and 29 states. The programs with the most graduates were the Master of Business Administration, master of accountancy, master of health administration, master of occupational therapy and doctor of physical therapy.

The ceremony included a tribute to the late Rev. Scott R. Pilarz, S.J., who served as the University’s 24th and 27th president.

Degrees were conferred by Jef-

Xandre Clementsmith graduates from College of Charleston Xandre Clementsmith, of Murrieta, recently graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Bachelor of Science in Data Science and Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from the College of Charleston.

Clementsmith was among more

than 1,400 students who received degrees.

Located in the heart of historic Charleston, South Carolina, the College of Charleston is a nationally recognized public liberal arts and sciences university. Founded in 1770, the College is among the

nation’s top universities for quality education, student life and affordability. Its beautiful and historic campus, combined with contemporary facilities, cutting-edge programs and accessible faculty attracts students from across the U.S. and around the world.

Brandon Payne selected to participate in Dixie State University’s math research program Dixie State University has selected four students to participate in its Enhancing Advancement to Graduate Education through Research experience, made possible by a grant from the Mathematical Association of America.

The $27,575 grant, funded through the National Science Foundation to host a summer National Research Experience for Undergraduates program, provides students with the opportunity to participate in full-time research for seven consecutive weeks. Brandon Payne from Wildomar was one the four students selected to participate.

“I am very excited to receive this competitive grant as only 8-9 universities across the nation receive this grant every year,” Vinodh Chellamuthu, an assistant professor of math at Dixie State,

said. “This grant exemplifies undergraduate research and dramatically aligns with our mission. I firmly believe this opportunity will expand the minority/underrepresented student participation in the STEM pipeline and increase future students’ opportunities at DSU.” As part of their research, students participating in the program will develop control mechanisms to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Specifically, they will create mathematical models to decrease dengue and build differential equations and parameter estimations to reduce Chytridiomycosis within frog populations.

The program provides participants with meaningful research experience, increases undergraduate completion rates and encourages students from underrepresented groups to pursue advanced degrees

and careers in mathematics by exposing them to a challenging research experience.

“The Research Experiences for Undergraduates program gives students a taste of the culture of research and life in a graduate school, which ultimately helps students in choosing their career path,” Chellamuthu said. “Introducing students to this kind of research significantly impacts students’ success on graduate school applications and their future job opportunities. This experience would open up many opportunities for students and build an amazing career path.”

RivCo Supervisors approve $6.88 billion budget for 2021-2022 City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

In a 4-1 vote, the Board of Supervisors last week approved a $6.88 billion budget for Riverside County government in fiscal year 2021-2022, incorporating many of the funding increases sought by public safety agencies.

Following budget hearings earlier this month, supervisors generally agreed June 29, that $16.9 million in additional allocations would be required to shore up multiple departments, largely in the public safety sphere.

Only Supervisor Jeff Hewitt voted in opposition to the budget, reiterating concerns he expressed on June 15 that insufficient attention was being paid to the county’s $3.6 billion in unfunded pension liabilities.

“There’s not even a token sign here of one of our largest priorities,” Hewitt said ahead of the vote. “We need to address this pension crisis a lot more than we’re doing now.”

No discretionary funds have been obligated to slash the county’s pension gap in the California Public Employees’ Retirement System. Hewitt had advocated for at least $10 million to be spent on reducing the debt load.

“A budget reflects our priorities, and we’re closing our eyes like we don’t care what happens over the next year or two,” he said previously.

The supervisor expressed a belief that inflation, now at an

accelerated stage, will escalate to possibly unprecedented levels, prompting the Federal Reserve to steadily hike interest rates, and said he felt certain the upward spiral of the stock market will turn into a crash.

He said advancing payments on the county’s debt would save money in the future.

Supervisor Chuck Washington and Chair Karen Spiegel deemed using discretionary funds a poor choice, sharing in county Chief Financial Officer Don Kent’s view that a better way to pay down the debt would be using the Pension Liability Trust Fund, currently at $50 million.

Spiegel requested a hearing to review the matter further this summer.

The largest increase in the revised appropriations list – $5.5 million – is earmarked for the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, which needs the funds to sustain patrol staffing in unincorporated communities, according to Sheriff Chad Bianco.

The difference between what the sheriff originally requested and what the Executive Office recommended was almost $20 million, but Bianco said he would find ways to remain lean while fulfilling the department’s responsibilities to the public.

“We’re working at an absolute minimum,” he told the board on June 14.

The sheriff is returning a $15 million surplus to the general fund this fiscal year.

An additional $1 million is going to the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office, which DA Mike Hestrin had requested, getting back the $1 million surplus that he’d intended to return to the county treasury. The funds will instead help address numerous unfunded state mandates.

Hestrin said one is a requirement for prosecutors to review lifetime sex offender registration cases, which now fall under a “tier system,” allowing some convicts to have the designation expunged from their criminal records.

The Riverside County Fire Department will receive $2.5 million more for “surge staffing,” or the ability to have extra personnel available for dispatch to locations countywide during wildfire season.

A previously unplanned $360,000 allocation will help keep the Blythe Animal Shelter running another year, as well as $190,000 for Department of Animal Services Director Julie Bank to hire a new deputy director.

The county closed the San Jacinto Valley Animal Campus to save money in 2020-2021, and shuttering the Blythe facility would have created too many complications, critics argued during budget hearings.

Animal services has struggled with budget deficits for most of the previous decade, and the current fiscal year was particularly rough as license fee and impoundment revenues plummeted during the COVID-19 public health lockdowns.

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco addresses the Riverside County Board of Supervisors about the public safety allocations.

Valley News/ S h ane G i b son p h ot o

The newest feature to the county budget is an Unincorporated Communities Initiative Fund, to which the board allocated $5 million.

The impetus behind the set-aside was a countywide survey that led to numerous complaints stating unincorporated areas have been badly underserved.

The fiscal blueprint is about $70 million, or 1% larger than the 2020-2021 budget.

Officials pointed out that federal infusions provided meaningful offsets to budgetary challenges over the last year.

The county received almost $500 million under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief & Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020, though some of that money could only be spent on narrow objectives. A total

$479 million has been promised under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. Half of the sum has already been received, and the other half will be released to the county next spring.

The county’s discretionary revenue is estimated to top out at $921 million in 2021-2022, compared to about $895 million in the current fiscal year.

The reserve pool is projected to swell to $284 million at the start 2021-2022 – $60 million more than what had been predicted last June. However, the Executive Office said funds will need to be siphoned out of various accounts to meet ongoing needs, likely whittling reserves down to $231 million over the next 12 months.

Board OKs imposing liens on people delinquent in paying trash bills City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Board of Supervisors today unanimously approved imposing special assessments totaling $2.51 million on thousands of Riverside County residents’ property tax bills to collect unpaid trash collection debts.

According to the Department of Environmental Health, roughly 4,900 residents in unincorporated communities owe the county’s four waste haulers for rubbish pickup and disposal services in 2020.

Amounts in arrears range from just over $100 to – in one case – $66,000 per customer, according to the special assessment roll.

Environmental Health Director Keith Jones requested the assessments, which will be tacked onto delinquent payers’ property tax obligations.

“People need to understand that this is a lien,” Board Chair Karen Spiegel said during the public hearing. “I found it out the hard way.”

Both Spiegel and Supervisor Kevin Jeffries pressed Jones about the need for more clarity in the public noticing process. The supervisors felt there was too little emphasis on promoting early resolutions to overdue bills, leaving people lost on what to do about penalties they may not always owe.

“We’re here doing this every year, in these uncomfortable moments, because of disputes,” Jeffries said. “We’re revisiting our waste hauler contracts. Perhaps we should revisit the notification process so that your department can address this sooner. We should find a better way to enhance communication.”

When Jones pointed out that the Department of Environmental Health prefers early resolutions, with personnel available to assist bill payers whenever problems arise, Jeffries replied that the agency still needs to be more proactive.

“Nobody knows there’s a referee,” the supervisor said. “People just receive letters saying, ‘Pay, pay, pay.’ They need to know that they can contact your office.”

Spiegel was particularly worried about “older folks who are wrongly billed and have no one there to advocate for them.”

“Does wrongful billing happen frequently?” she asked. “Is there any oversight?”

Jones said he was not aware of mistakes occurring regularly.

“People shouldn’t have to come down here to address errors,” he said. “If the charges aren’t valid, we don’t want them going on the tax roll.”

Because the supervisors authorized the special assessments, an additional $74-per-parcel charge will be applied to delinquent bills to cover the cost of public noticing and county staff time. According to Jones, residents can avoid the supplemental charge by paying their bills in full on or before July 23.

He said his staff is always available to help resolve mistakes and told the board that one resident who showed up at the meeting was able to get penalties removed from his account after speaking with department personnel and the waste hauler’s customer service representatives.

The agency can be reached at (888) 722-4234.

The Board of Supervisors approved the formation of a multiagency committee that will be tasked with developing strategies to deter use of the potentially lethal synthetic opioid fentanyl, which has claimed hundreds of lives in Riverside County.

“This drug is off the charts as far as opioids go,” board Chair Karen Spiegel said. “We need to work as a team to bring some stoppage to this escalating issue.”

The committee will be composed of more than a half-dozen agencies, including the county’s Emergency Management, Probation, Sheriff’s and Public Social Services departments and the District Attorney’s Office.

District Attorney Mike Hestrin and Sheriff Chad Bianco announced in February that they would be working closely to crack down on fentanyl suppliers and prosecute cases involving drugrelated fatalities.

The committee is a spin-off of that effort and will be broader in scope, involving community activists and municipalities to spread the message that the county is serious about preventing fentanyl distribution and consumption.

The drug is manufactured in China and smuggled across the Mexican border, according to Bianco.

It is known to be 80-100 times more potent than morphine and is a popular additive, seamlessly mixed into any number of narcotics and pharmaceuticals.

“It only takes two milligrams of fentanyl to have potentially lethal consequences for most people,” according to a statement posted

by Spiegel to the board’s agenda.

“To put that in perspective, it takes 5,000 milligrams to make a

teaspoon.”

“We’re on pace to see 450-500 fentanyl deaths in the county in 2021,” Hestrin told the board. “It’s getting worse. Obviously, we need to act.”

Hestrin said the number of deaths has doubled every year since 2015, and in that time, there has been an overall 800% increase in fentanyl-related fatalities.

Five people have been charged so far this year with second-degree murder in connection with fentanyl-related deaths, according to the county’s top prosecutor.

“Of course, that’s after the fact, after a family has lost someone,” Hestrin said. “We’ll do what we can to get justice for that family.

But we’ve got to stop the number of families losing loved ones to this scourge.”

He lauded the prospect of using billboards, internet and broadcast public service announcements, as well as other measures, to promote the anti-fentanyl campaign.

“We’ve got to do something to get in front of this,” Hestrin told the board.

Spiegel said it was important for

“all of us to step in and be actively involved.”

In addition to spotlighting antifentanyl messages, the committee will work on expanding training programs that turn some residents into first responders during overdose episodes, where every second counts in resuscitating a victim.

The county Department of Public Health has partnered with the nonprofit Inland Harm Reduction to offer “bystander naloxone training.”

Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that, when administered to an overdose victim, can restore breathing capacity. But it has to be given without delay. Many sheriff’s deputies have already been equipped with it for use in the field.

According to Spiegel, one of the new committee’s missions will be seeking federal and state grants to assist with “harm reduction efforts” and pay for public awareness campaigns about the dangers of the drug.

The committee will be required to submit quarterly progress reports to the board.

San Diego International Airport granted federal funds for rehab project San Diego International Airport received a $16 million federal grant for noise mitigation measures.

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration is awarding more than $845 million in airport infrastructure grants nationwide.

“We don’t want to just build our airports back to the way things were before the pandemic,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said.

“We want our airports to be

better than ever - accessible to all, delivering maximum benefit to their communities and helping directly and indirectly create jobs for millions of Americans.”

The projects will not have to pay the usual local match thanks to nearly $100 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding announced recently.

Historically, the Airport Improvement Program receives about $3.2 billion in funding each year.

AIP projects promote safety, efficiency, environmental steward-

ship, infrastructure and security at the nation’s airports.

The FAA will award more than 1,500 grants this year for projects that will mitigate environmental impacts, increase accessibility and expand capacity at airports across the United States.

The funding will pay for projects at 388 airports in 49 states plus the District of Columbia.

As condo crashed down, they escaped through smoke and ruin Kelli Kennedy ASSOCIATED PRESS

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Alfredo Lopez and his wife Marian were asleep when the first thundering blast jolted them awake.

Moments later, a second boom, much louder than the first, shook the bed on the sixth floor of their Miami apartment.

Alfredo rushed to wake his 24-year-old son Michael, urging him to get dressed, before running to the balcony window.

“All I could see was just white dust, very thick. I could barely see the balcony railing.”

The lights cut out and the emergency alarm came on, warning the residents of Champlain Towers South to evacuate. Lopez thought about sneakers, but his hands were shaking so badly he knew he couldn’t tie the laces and settled on sandals with straps.

Marian Lopez was disoriented.

The 67-year-old fumbled for shoes as her husband pressed her impatiently.

The Lopez family has lived for two decades on the street side of the condo that’s still partially intact.

Alfredo used to joke to his wife she’d have to bury him there.

When he opened the front door that night, half of the building was gone. A jagged five-foot chunk of flooring barely left enough room to escape.

“There was no hallway, no ceiling, no apartments, no walls, nothing.”

The 61-year-old froze in terror, unable to move.

“I was petrified. I really thought, ‘This is it. We are going to die’.”

Sometimes, the line between life and death is as seemingly random as an ocean or street view, an odd or even unit. While 126 residents, mostly from the oceanside units, are among the missing nine days later, many others barely escaped.

With the elevator collapsed, the survivors descended the cracked stairwell that had separated from the wall, along the way helping neighbors they met for the first time and others they’d known for years, all “joined through this tragedy for forever now,” says Albert Aguero, who helped an 88-year-old stranger to safety.

While their escape felt agonizingly long, it all unfolded in mere minutes. In those perilous seconds, before the world knew of the more than the 22 who perished and the many missing, they were fighting to survive.

“When I opened the staircase door and half the staircase was missing, at that point I know we’re racing against time to all get out as a family,” Aguero said.

Down on the first floor, recent college graduate Gabriel Nir had just finished a late-night workout and was in the kitchen cooking salmon. The rest of the family would normally be asleep, but his 15-year-old sister had just returned from babysitting and was in the shower, his dad was out of town and his mother had just come home from an event.

They all heard the first thunderous rumble. They knew the building was undergoing construction and had been irritated by the incessant noise, but this felt different.

Sara Nir, their mother, ran to the lobby, asking the security guard if she’d seen anything.

Back in the kitchen, thick, concrete dust came rushing into their apartment from the patio windows near the pool. The ground was shaking as 25-year-old Gabriel ran to the bathroom.

“We have to go now!” he screamed to his sister. They ran to the lobby, where their mother urged the security guard to call 911. The guard couldn’t remember the address so Gabriel phoned.

“Please hurry, please hurry,” he begged.

Outside, he noticed the car deck had caved into the parking garage.

Car alarms were blaring, emergency lights were flashing and water was rapidly filling the garage where pipes had burst.

He ran back to the lobby, where the choking dust cloud was making it difficult to see. Residents from upstairs were running out the door screaming, many still in pajamas, one man pushing a baby stroller.

It was getting harder to breathe.

The rumbling intensified, as he pushed his mom and sister safely into the street.

“Run, run,” he ordered.

Tiny rocks and bits of debris pelted his head as he turned back to

face the image that still haunts him.

“I saw the building turning into a white dust,” he says. “I heard people screaming.”

“I have to go back. I have to make sure everyone’s OK,” he said.

But he knew it was too late.

Up on the 11th floor, Albert Aguero stared in disbelief at the gaping holes in the elevator shaft.

Half of the neighboring apartment was sheared off. The power was out. Aguero wondered if it had been struck by lightning. The fit 42-year-old former college athlete was vacationing from New Jersey with his wife Janette, 14-year-old daughter Athena and his 22-yearold son Justin Willis, a college baseball player.

His son thought a plane had crashed into the building, but there was little time to talk as they rushed into the stairwell, wondering if there was enough time to descend 11 painstaking floors. No one panicked or cried.

“There was no time to react. Just make your move.”

Each time they descended another level, they yelled out the floor number, a small victory of survival, one floor closer to freedom.

There wasn’t enough time to look back; instead they frequently called out to each other.

“Justin, are you still there?”

“Babe, are you ok?”

When they reached the fifth floor, Janette heard banging on the staircase. She wrenched open the frozen door and a few more joined them on the stairs, including a younger woman who was clutching an elderly woman.

She asked Aguero and his son to help the elderly woman as they continued their descent. There were some cracks and gaps down the stairwell, but nothing unpassable.

Still, the pace was too much for the woman.

“Don’t worry about me. I’m 88.

I’ve had a good life,” she said, trying to wave them on without her.

But Aguero was determined.

They were all going to make it out alive. They moved carefully and quickly, no pushing or trampling.

“You’re going to be fine,” he reassured her. “We’re going to make sure you make it to 89.”

On the ninth floor, Raysa Rodriguez and her neighbor Yadira Santos huddled in the hallway, along with Santos’ 10-year-old son Kai and their Maltese puppy. They’d already seen that the other half of the building was gone and assumed the stairwells were, too.

She thought their only escape was to wait on a balcony until fire trucks arrived. In the chaos, her brother Fred called - he had rushed to the building and was standing outside. He kept repeating the same urgent warning.

“Get out of there, get out,” he pleaded.

She argued, saying there was no way out, the stairs were gone.

A firefighter grabbed Fred’s phone and uttered a chilling command.

“You need to find a way out.”

They decided to try the stairwell again. When they reached the eighth floor, they found 84-year-old Ada Lopez waiting with her walker.

Santos had called to warn her.

Rodriguez rushed ahead to see if there was a way out as the others helped the elderly Lopez down the stairwell, bumping into the Aguero family and Albert Lopez’s clan along the way.

But when Rodriguez reached the flooded parking garage, she turned around.

“I knew being electrocuted was a possibility,” Rodriguez feared.

They rushed back upstairs to the second floor where someone had left their apartment doors open.

Outside from the balcony, they flagged down rescue teams outside and a cherry picker brought them to safety.

Back in the stairwell, Alfredo Lopez was panicked. There were no hugs or emotional words. He was miffed that his wife had chosen to wear slippers to navigate their doomsday nightmare.

“What were you thinking,” he yelled.

When they reached the second or third floor, Susana Alvarez from 1006 was knocking on the stairwell door, her 88-year-old neighbor Esther Gorfinkel beside her.

As Alvarez fled her apartment, she’d banged on her neighbors’ doors one last time, using her cellphone flashlight in the darkness. From the wrecked side of the building, she heard screams.

“Help me, help me,” she heard a

woman crying.

“There were people alive in there,” she says quietly.

The 62-year-old Alvarez had just had brought her beloved cat Mia to the building a week ago. In a few days, she was planning to move her mother into the condo. Alvarez is the only family member left to care for her mother, who has advanced Alzheimer’s.

As she and Gorfinkel made their way down, Alvarez paused, thinking of Hilda Noriega on the sixth floor. She was like family. They’d spent many holidays together.

Noriega and her mother had been best friends since their days in Cuba.

“Can I rescue her, can I go get her?” she thought frantically. “But I had already seen the building, so I kept going.”

Gorfinkel complained they were moving too fast, her knee was giving her terrible pains. Without thinking, Lopez threw her over his shoulder and pressed on.

“The five of us became like a caravan,” he said.

Alvarez couldn’t stop talking about the cat.

“Forget about the cat,” Lopez screamed in a moment of frustration. “We’ve got to get going.”

When they got to the flooded parking garage, one car was on top of another, crushed by a giant slab of concrete.

Alvarez panicked. She was wearing slippers, just like Lopez’s wife.

It was too high to climb the rubble onto the pool deck. The Aguero family had just made it onto the pool deck ahead of them, with father and son hoisting Gorfinkel up the rubble.

“I cannot make it,” she thought.

Her hands were covered with blood, but she had no scratches, and no idea where it came from.

Days later, Gorfinkel called The Agueros to thank them for saving her life. Alvarez, too, is adamant she wouldn’t have survived without the Lopez family.

“Thanks to him and his son we were able to climb that rubble.”

Days later, the Agueros, the Nir and Lopez family and their little ragtag team are all safe. They embrace their children and siblings tighter, knowing many of their neighbors will never return, never hug their loved ones again.

They have no homes. It’s all gone. Clothes, computers, cars, even prescriptions. It’s inconvenient, they say, but it doesn’t really matter. They are alive.

At night, they still hear the screams, and it all comes rushing back.

“The first few days, I had horrible survivor’s guilt,” said Lopez, a deeply religious man.

Gabriel Nir finds it difficult to sleep. He tries to stay busy, to push away the what-ifs.

“It’s like a virus. it just never goes away,” he says regretfully.

“I wish I could have done more ...

This Wednesday, June 23, 2021, photo provided by Albert Aguero shows him, his wife, Janette; 14-year-old daughter, Athena, and 22-year-old son, Justin Willis, vacationing in the Miami area from New Jersey. They all were able to escape the building collapse of Champlain Towers South the following day. “When I opened the staircase door and half the staircase was missing, at that point I know we’re racing against time to all get out as a family,” Albert Aguero says.

these people that are missing, they aren’t coming back.”

His family is crammed into a nearby donated hotel room. His voice is filled with adrenaline, days later, he’s talks as if on fastforward, clipped and frantic, just like his escape.

“Check on your loved ones ... it’s only one life,” he said. “You don’t know what’s going to happen, today, tomorrow, the next hour.”

Alvarez too is filled with grief.

Hilda Noriega, her mother’s best friend, is among the dead.

She hasn’t been in a bed since that night, can’t bring herself to crawl under the covers, instead sleeping in a chair.

“The people in the rubble, I could hear them. Some were yelling ‘Help’,” she says.

“That will haunt me forever. I

will never forget that.”

Demolition crews set off explosives late Sunday, July 5, that brought down the damaged remaining portion of a collapsed South Florida condo building, a key step to resuming the search for victims as rescuers seek access to new areas of the rubble.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava told the Associated Press after the demolition that crews had been given the all-clear to resume their searchand-rescue mission to locate the remaining 121 people believed to be missing under a wing of the Champlain Tower South that collapsed June 24. So far, rescuers have recovered the remains of 24 people. No one has been rescued alive since the first hours after the collapse.

Gabriel Nir, who lived on the first floor of the Champlain Towers South condo building that collapsed, poses for a portrait outside the hotel where he is now staying in Surfside, Fla., on Friday, July 2, 2021. He had just finished a late night workout and was in the kitchen cooking salmon. The rest of the family would normally be asleep, but his 15-year-old sister had just returned from babysitting and was in the shower, his father was out of town and his mother had just come home from an event. They all heard the first thunderous rumble. They knew the building was undergoing construction and had been irritated by the incessant noise, but this felt different. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert)

COURTS & CRIMES

Stop going to church

Zachary Elliot SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

With many of the quarantine restrictions beginning to lift, a lot of us are going places. We’re going to the movies, going to the beach, even going on vacation.

We like going places, don’t we?

You might even, on occasion, like going to church.

What if I told you to stop doing that? That’s right; I want you to stop going to church. I don’t want you to stop going to the grocery store or to work. I want you to stop going to church.

For some of you, those might be the sweetest words you’ve ever heard a pastor say. I mean, now you have your Sundays free to go to more places, right?

Well, before you get too excited, let me help you understand what I mean. Going to church is not something you do, like going to Disneyland, the park or your kid’s soccer game. And don’t get me wrong, those are great places to go.

But I want you to stop having that mentality when it comes to church. Instead of church being an attraction you attend, a place you go, or a spot to visit, I want it to be part of your identity.

Instead of going to church, you need to be planted in the church.

Planting yourself in a local church is a key to success. I didn’t say it; God did.

Here’s why you should stop going to church and instead be planted in a church.

God says when you’re planted in his house, you will flourish.

Do you know what the word flourish means? It means to be in one’s prime. It’s the height of thriving.

The Bible says in Psalm 92:12-

13 that “The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar… Planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God.” A seed that’s not planted is dead, and it never reaches its full potential. You cannot flourish if you’re not planted.

God says when you’re planted in his house, you will be fruitful.

Did you know that a seed that’s not planted never grows any fruit?

I know, crazy, right? It’s impossible. The same goes for you.

If you’re not planted, you never grow and you can’t produce fruit.

Psalm 92:12-15 says, “The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar… Planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green.”

What would happen in a garden if you only placed a seed in the ground once every four to six weeks for 60 minutes? It will never grow. The seed MUST be planted.

Sadly, that’s how people are treating church. According to a recent study, more and more people are going to church once every four to six weeks. And some not at all.

Your life is a seed. It must be planted in the house of the Lord so that your roots can go down deep, and you can flourish and reach your full potential.

God says when you’re planted in his house, trouble won’t bother you.

Jeremiah 17:8 says, “They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.”

Did you catch that? When you’re planted in God’s house, your roots go down deep. So deep that when life gets a little hot and a little dry, you’re not worried. Do you know why? Because you’re connected to the source, Jesus and his family… the church.

It’s time to stop going to church, and it’s time to be planted.

Abbott arrested for allegedly attempting to meet 13-year-old for sex Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

According to documentation obtained by Valley News, a Temecula business owner who was arrested last week allegedly thought he was meeting a 13-year-old boy for sex.

Albert Abbott, 42, the owner of Abbott Manor Weddings and Events in Temecula was arrested June 15 and is facing three charges relating to sex with a minor following the incident which was also posted to the CC Unit YouTube channel.

In that video a member of the CC Unit confronts Abbott, who said he was there shopping with his wife, but in the chat logs provided to Valley News by CC Unit, it appears Abbott was there to meet with a minor he knew as “Josh” after an exchange on the instant messaging app Kik. In the chat logs Abbott says he is a 37-year-old bisexual male who can “host regularly” in Temecula before he asks “Josh” if he is a cop trying to “entrap people.”

“I’m not a cop, SMH,” Josh replies.

Abbott goes on to ask him what he is “into” and if he is “interested” in him.

“Idk, we just started talking and we haven’t met,” Josh replies.

Abbott again suggests that the posting might be a set up.

“You are a bit young to be looking for sex on Kik,” Abbott said.

Josh then replies that he is almost 14 and not a cop.

“So chill out dude,” he said.

Abbott asks him to send a video saying he is not a cop, which Josh

does, before Abbott finally tells him that his name is Aaron and suggests the two meet up for a sexual encounter.

When the two do meet up, an unidentified CC Unit team member shocks Abbott when he confronts him about meeting with a teen boy for sex.

The video shows the encounter between the two men at a store in Promenade Temecula.

As the CC Unit member confronts Abbott the two argue as they walk through the mall with Abbott eventually pushing Ghost and then running away before

The afternoon erupted into flames for an Anza woman and her family July 3. While residents of the small rural town enjoyed Anza Days festivities, Kathy Sharp Jordan’s world was threatened by wildfire.

“I had a monumental scare!” she said. “Luckily, we had come home early from Anza Days and were home at the time. The property next door, which is mostly a vacant lot and full of weeds, somehow caught on fire and was burning fast along my back fence line towards my shop when it jumped the driveway.”

The flames were headed directly toward her rental homes on the property.

Anza Valley braces for wildfire season Diane,Sieker STAFF WRITER

According to recent statistics, California wildfires have become more destructive and deadlier than those in the past. The threat of out-of-control blazes has become more prevalent throughout the state.

Weather plays a significant part in the intensity and severity of wildland fires. Changes in humidity, wind and temperature can improve or delay containment efforts. Commonly referred to as fire weather, these conditions may spell disaster for firefighters battling out-of-control blazes.

Nick Nauslar of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Storm Prediction Center described fire weather as, “Any sort of weather that ignites and/or helps spread fire. Stronger winds; low, relative humidity; unstable atmospheric conditions; and thunderstorms all fall under the umbrella of fire weather.”

Lightning strikes are the most common weather cause for wildfires. Dry thunderstorms can create lightning strikes miles away from the storm clouds. Several of Anza’s past fires have been started by lightning strikes to the ground and into dry fuels.

Seasonal Santa Ana winds can also cause power lines to spark, which can ignite dry brush nearby.

Wind determines the rate and direction of fire spread. Stronger winds supply more oxygen to the fire, preheating fuels and blowing embers and sparks ahead of

the flames.

Fires will follow the direction the wind blows. The faster it is blowing, the faster the flames spread. Gusts can also elevate flames into trees. Wildfires can create their own wind patterns, which also affects how the fire spreads.

Hot temperatures and lower relative humidity make available fuels such as grass, weeds and brush more receptive to ignition.

In hot weather, the sun is more intense, heating and drying out fuels such as sticks and other flammable debris.

Large fires can even create their own weather, with pyrocumulonimbus clouds producing thunderstorms. A large fire vortex observed at the Carr Fire near Redding, caused damage equivalent to an EF-3 tornado with estimated winds up to 143 miles per hour.

Relative humidity is a measure of how much moisture is in the air.

Humidity varies with temperature.

As temperature increases, humidity decreases. This factor affects fuel moisture content and its flammability.

Fire requires fuel, oxygen and heat to ignite and grow. Wildfires are more likely to break out in hot seasons or climates.

Meteorologists examine weather patterns and may declare red flag watches or warnings. These warnings indicate a high degree of confidence that weather and fuel conditions meet the Red Flag Event criteria for a given fire weather zone.

Firefighting aircraft battle blazes in the mountain communities.

It typically comes into effect for conditions below 15% relative humidity combined with gusty winds.

When red flag warnings are declared, Anza residents need to be aware that many weather conditions can cause an increase in wildfire danger.

There are many things residents can do to be ready for the inevitable threats of wildfire. Be prepared with an emergency kit, extra water for people, pets and livestock, food, blankets, clothes and other important daily items.

Medications for both animals and

people are paramount. There could be a possible evacuation, so be sure to have a plan in place.

In the event of fire-caused power outages, keep refrigerators and freezers closed to preserve the cold air inside. Have batteries at hand for flashlights and even medical devices and make sure they have a good charge.

Check that electrical and communication devices are fully charged or that you have a way to charge them, such as a battery back up or car charger. Make sure you are signed up for local text alerts with the Anza Electric Co-

operative. For more information on the communication options, please call them at (951)763-4333.

Keep your vehicles filled with fuel and in good working order, in case of an evacuation order.

Check your friends and neighbors, especially the young and elderly.

When weather conditions encourage elevated fire danger, have a plan in place, be prepared and be safe.

BBQ from page AVO-1 for the Anza Days Kickoff Dinner,” Miller said. “I have never cooked a tri-tip before, so I was off to Home Depot to buy a new BBQ with five burners plus a side burner.”

Miller used Pit Boss brand Beef and Brisket BBQ rub on the tri-tips.

He cooked 15 roasts for the event.

“Thanks to Dan Robinson for trusting me on a new adventure in cooking. I learned a lot, got ’er done! Thanks also to Bill and Noel Donahue for assembling a kitchen crew that pumped out the grub!”

About 60 meals were sold and enjoyed by local residents.

“The turnout was great,” Robinson said.

Meals were served from 5 to 7 p. m. and were dispersed as quickly as they could be prepared. Lines formed at 5 o’clock sharp. The food was packaged in to-go containers and served by Community Hall board members and helpers.

In the kitchen, Hall members ladled beans, spooned up big portions of corn and placed the other items into to-go boxes. In keeping with the COVID-19 mandates regarding large gatherings, the Hall was not open for dining.

The festive atmosphere was a welcome change from the stresses of the pandemic, and smiles and friendly chatter abounded.

Persons signing up for Anza Community Hall memberships received their meals for free.

The colors of fire - red and yellow - mark the salvation of the forest at the Flats Fire in Pinyon June 13. Anza Valley Outlook/ Z yr a R ag ur o p h otos

Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

A photographer has captured the aftermath of the Flats Fire that scorched 400 acres in the Pinyon area June 13. Zyra Raguro, an outgoing 32-year-old Filipina, was smitten by the ravages suffered by the forest as a result of the blaze.

“I am passionate about capturing photographs of people, places, communities and raw life moments,” Raguro said. “My goal is to utilize visual storytelling as a means of sharing stories of being and living.”

Firefighters worked through the night on the Flats Fire near Pinyon Pines, bringing contain-

ment of the 400-plus acre fire to 30% and halting the forward rate of spread into the early morning hours of June 14.

United States Forest Service officials reported that one firefighter was injured and was undergoing a medical evaluation.

State Route 74 was shut down in both directions between State Route 371 near Garner Valley and Palowet Drive in Palm Desert, and the public was asked to avoid the area.

Two homes were destroyed in the blaze, which burned on both sides of State Route 74, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Three additional homes and three outbuildings were damaged in the blaze.

The red streak marks where the fire halts between Pinyon Crest and Sugarloaf Mountain at the Flats Fire in Pinyon June 13.

Raguro toured the area after the fast-moving brush fire was quenched by firefighters. She felt a need to record the destruction, as well as the hopefulness

ANZA LOCAL CELEBRATION from page AVO-1

Trucks and a Jeep draw the attention of grounds as they pass in the July 3 Anza Days parade.

was everything from recent graduates from Hamilton High School being recognized for their achievements to the Miss Anza Days contest winners parading around the crowds beginning to gather.

Not a Covid-19 Mask was to be seen, while many American Flags waved at the park. It was an almost perfect but hot day with a cooling breeze coming and going.

Meanwhile, the Lions Club, the organizers of the Anza Days parade with Michele “Mimi” Brown busily running around working with the parade organizer Lion Roland Vellanoweth to have the parade entries led by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Mounted Posse ready to make their way around the arena instead of Highway 371 where the township because of COVID delays prevented its use this year.

Brown took a moment to say, “Anza Days was never really about the Fourth of July. It was to raise money for the volunteer fire department, Then when we got a paid fire department, a paid fire department...So, in 1976 they turned

it over to the Lions Club and we have been doing it since ‘76.” She continues to say that since then it has been combined with the Independence Day Celebration and Celebrate Anza.

She added credit goes to the Thimble Club who since then has always started the festivities with their traditional breakfast and the clubs have always donated the proceeds of the parade and festivities to charities and nonprofits in the community. Helping with the event is most churches in the area.

This year the benefit of the events were to go to help Our Lady of the Lourdes Catholic Church in town with rebuilding the water well that costs $75,000 and the Anza Search Team.

Both venues continued through the day with local bands including the Rudy T Band at Minor Park’s Celebrate Anza and Slow Traffic and the favorite Barnyard Boyz playing at the Lions arena. Only a few dust devils blew across the arena fields to knock down some gazebos of the vendors and stage and 90 degrees plus weather conditions slightly disrupted the festivities in the celebrating township.

Transportation policy Randal O’Toole SENIOR FELLOW, CATO INSTITUTE

Editor’s note: Below is a column arguing that President Joe Biden’s infrastructure plan will not address actual infrastructure problems. You can find a counterpoint here, where Vogel Group Chief Operating Officer Samir Kapadia argues that Biden’s plan will help achieve a long-term vision for the U.S. economy.

We can make transportation policy by finding out how people are going to travel and then making that travel as safe, efficient and environmentally friendly as possible. Or we can fantasize how we wish people would travel and design a transportation system that fulfills those wishes.

President Biden’s infrastructure plans fall firmly in the realm of fantasy. Although urban transit and Amtrak carried less than 1% of all passenger travel before the pandemic, Biden’s American Jobs Plan would have given them almost half of all transportation dollars. Even the White House-Republican compromise plan devotes more than 40% of transportation funds to these two

FIREFIGHTERS from page AVO-1 all over this place, helicopters and planes dumping massive amounts of water and retardant. It was pretty terrifying, but by the grace of God no structures got burned.”

Called the Pony Fire, the blaze scorched three acres in the 38000 block of Howard Road.

The fire had a moderate rate of spread in medium fuels, with the potential for 50 acres of growth.

Multiple structures were immediately threatened.

Tanker 72, Tanker 73, and copter 301 responded within minutes of the report of fire.

“Our fire department up here

forms of travel.

Biden imagines that giving more money to transit and Amtrak will significantly increase their shares of travel. Yet in the last 50 years taxpayers have given $100 billion (in today’s dollars) to Amtrak and more than $1.5 trillion to urban transit, only to see their shares of travel decline.

This decline has been hastened by the pandemic, which has accelerated decentralization trends that reduce transit’s importance and has led people to be wary of all forms of mass transportation.

Yet none of the infrastructure bills take the pandemic into account.

Amtrak and transit declined for good reasons: intercity passenger trains and mass transit are expensive and slow. Including all user costs and subsidies, urban transit costs five times as much, per passenger-mile, as auto driving, while Amtrak spends four times as much per passenger-mile as the airlines.

University of Minnesota researchers have shown that transit is so slow that the typical urban American can reach almost twice as many jobs in 20 minutes by car as 60 minutes by transit. Even

bicyclists can reach more jobs than transit riders in trips of 50 minutes or less.

Transit doesn’t even work for people who don’t have cars. Census data show that most American workers who live in households without cars didn’t take transit to work in 2019.

Why is Congress even considering an infrastructure bill, other than to fulfill Amtrak Joe Biden’s train fantasies? Engineering and construction companies have created an entirely phony infrastructure crisis in order to get the federal government to spend more money on projects they will design and build. But there really is no infrastructure crisis.

A few bridges have collapsed in the last few years, but not due to poor maintenance. One fell because of a design flaw. Another because a truck that was too big tried to cross it. In fact, the United States has not seen a roadway bridge failure due to poor maintenance since 1989.

Since then, regular inspections have shown that the number of highway bridges in poor condition have fallen from nearly 138,000 in 1990 to 45,000 in 2020. The

average smoothness of roads has also steadily improved.

A close look at the data reveals that infrastructure that is in the best shape is infrastructure that is paid for out of user fees. Managers of such infrastructure know their revenues will decline if they let it deteriorate so they tend to keep it in good condition. Politicians, however, are more likely to fund grandiose new projects than to maintain those projects.

For example, about 7% of bridges were in poor condition in 2020. This included 2% of toll bridges and 5% of state highway bridges, which are mainly funded out of gas taxes and other highway user fees, but 12% of bridges owned by city and county governments, whose transportation programs are funded largely out of property or sales taxes.

This means Biden’s infrastructure plans, which would require hundreds of billions to trillions of dollars of deficit spending, are exactly the wrong way to go. Instead of spending political dollars, Congress should find better ways to fund infrastructure, including airports, highways, rail lines and other systems, out of user fees.

For example, gas taxes helped pay for the Interstate Highway System and other major roads, but they are a poor sort of user fee because they don’t adjust for inflation or more fuel-efficient vehicles. They also fail to give users good signals about costs or highway agencies good signals about what users value.

All these problems can be fixed by mileage-based user fees. Congress should encourage such fees provided they protect people’s privacy and the fees go to the roads people drive on. Congress could also improve airport user fees.

Infrastructure is important, but how we fund infrastructure is just as important as the infrastructure itself. By unnecessarily imposing debts on future generations, the Biden plan is the wrong solution to the nation’s problems.

Randal O’Toole is a senior fellow with the Cato Institute specializing in transportation policy and author of Romance of the Rails: Why the Passenger Trains We Love Are Not the Transportation We Need.

is the absolute best,” Jordan said. “Despite the blazing heat yesterday plus all the gear they’re required to wear to fight these fires, they never slowed down.

They were here a long time, tirelessly making sure all hot spots were gone. God bless each and every one of you and know that we appreciate all of you. Thank you everyone that showed up to help slow down the path of the fire before the firefighters showed up. Everything happened so fast it was truly head spinning!”
