Murrieta City Council held a workshop Tuesday, July 7, to discuss short-term rentals in Murrieta.

Chris Tracy, Murrieta senior planner, gave the presentation at the meeting regarding an overview of short-term vacation rentals.

It is the second workshop on the topic; the first workshop of shortterm rentals was held Feb. 18.

Comments were received by the public, and staff received general direction on a policy framework.

Short-term vacation rentals are a “rental of a residence or portion of a residence, rented by paying guests for short periods of less than one month,” according to Tracy.

Containers for coronavirus nose swab tests are arranged for use before sending off for results.

New orders coming down from the state level Monday, June 13, furthered fears that the coronavirus pandemic is far from over.

The new orders followed a week that saw record daily new cases reported by Riverside University Health System day after day, confirming those fears.

In an effort to protect employees and residents, several local municipalities either kept their office closed or reclosed their offices to the public, including the county of Riverside and cities of Temecula, Menifee, Murrieta and Lake Elsinore.

Hours after California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced an executive order directing that indoor activity in gyms, hair salons,

houses of worship, malls and noncritical offices be stopped Monday, the county announced that 983 new cases of COVID-19 were recorded over the weekend and 13 more residents died.

Locally, the city of Temecula and the community of French Valley each reported deaths for the first time since the county began recording data for the virus.

Newsom’s order affects all 30 counties on the state’s pandemic monitoring list – including Riverside, Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties.

“This virus is not going away anytime soon,” the governor said.

“We’re seeing an increase in the spread of the virus.”

San Jacinto City Council seeks grant funding for upcoming projects Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The San Jacinto City Council adopted two resolutions Tuesday, July 7, one to hire consultants to create a local road safety plan and the other to support and promote “Healthy Eating, Active Living” in the community.

Both resolutions will help the city apply for certain grants and funding for related projects in the future.

City engineer Stuart McKibbon requested city approval in hiring Fehr and Peers as traffic consultant for the local road safety plan. The plan provides a framework for organizing stakeholders to identify, analyze and prioritize roadway safety projects improvements on local and rural roads. It is a step in applying to the federal Highway Safety Improvement Plan that provides grant funding to state and local governments to improve highway safety. Once completed, the city will apply for the HSIP in Cycle II, which will improve the city’s competitiveness while pursuing the limited funds available.

The contracted local road safety plan would furnish a ready list of projects for other local, state and federal grant applications as well.

Fehr and Peers submitted a bid of $79,412 for the study, which is within the city’s proposed budget. The city staff will be using $71,000 in a state-funded grant and the remaining $7,412 from the CP-002 Traffic Studies budget.

The council made little discussion on the topic during the teleconference, and the resolution passed with a 5-0 vote.

The second request to support the HEAL program was submitted by city clerk Angela Walton and approved by city manager Robert Johnson. The city added the slogan “Ignite San Jacinto” to the HEAL proposal. The slogan was designed to encourage residents to take preventative measures to fight obesity, following a goal the League of California Cities made in 2004 to embrace policies that facilitate activities to promote healthier lifestyle and communities. The league joined with other national efforts in its “Let’s Move” campaign, while

other cities across the country are leading the way as part of the “Healthy Eating, Active Living” cities campaign.

The “Ignite San Jacinto” effort will hopefully encourage community members to opt for healthy eating choices and share resources and educational tutorials to implement new ideas at home and work, according to the resolution.

The “Ignite San Jacinto” has three components that shape and focus the programming and community outreach: “Be Healthy,” “Be Well” and “Be San Jacinto.”

According to the resolution, the last component will include outreach activities, which will provide assistance to those affected by homelessness, creating a safety community, and aims to bring amenities into San Jacinto that contribute to being healthy and searches for partnerships through grants and community relationships.

The latter goal brought positive comment from the council members who passed the resolution 5-0. The staff noted the program will have no financial impact at

this time.

In other actions, the council approved a raise of $741 a month for the city manager, as per his contract and passed Urgency Ordinance 20-09 to adopt special outdoor dining guidelines and procedures for dine-in restaurants.

The urgency ordinance followed Gov. Gavin Newsom’s recent order to close are bars and dining inside of restaurants because of a surge in COVID-19 cases reported in Riverside and a number of other counties in the state.

The ordinance approved by the majority of the council will lift a number of restrictions and fees related to allowing dine-in restaurants to move a certain number of tables outside onto the entrances and limited sidewalk areas outside of their establishments. The only addition or change was the move outside was not allowed to interfere with the normal sidewalk and street traffic in their locations. The ordinance is only effective until the governor lifts his most recent ban on dine in dining.

Details and guidelines for the temporary outside move can be

reviewed through the city hall that can be contacted by phone at (951) 487-7330.

The request for the urgency ordinance was brought to the council by the city manager who is acting as the city’s emergency services director who has the authority to bring such matters to the city council.

Public hearings were held on the tax roll placement of CR&R Delinquent Solid Waste fees for 2019 and confirmation of the collection and assessment of unpaid nuisance abatement costs for calendar year 2019. There were no public comments during the public hearing, and the measures were passed by the council as requested. Cities and counties have the right to place delinquent trash collection and city code violations on the tax rolls of the property owners involved if they are not paid in a timely manner. A number of collection warnings are sent to the property owners before the tax roll enforcement is made.

Wildomar council allows proposed GPIP plan to move forward Jeff Pack STAFF WRITER

The Wildomar City Council moved forward a proposal Wednesday, July 8, for a general plan initiation proposal to change an existing land use designation from business park to high-density residential.

The council received the staff presentation, heard public testimony from applicant Erik Lunde of

Pacific Cove Investments regarding the proposed Monte Vista Ranch Phase II project.

The change in designation would allow single-family attached and detached residences, including townhouses, stacked flats, courtyard homes and patio homes to be built in a site located north of Cornerstone Community Church on Monte Vista Drive.

The Wildomar City Council, Wednesday, July 8, allowed a proposal by Pacific Cove Investments to change a landuse designation on a property on Monte Vista Drive to move forward. The designation change would allow the developer to build residential properties on land currently zoned for a business park.

Valley News/Courtesy photo

reviewed the proposal at its June 3 meeting and the majority of members did not support the land use amendment.

“We’ve had this property for quite some time; the business park land use, there’s no demand for that,” Lunde said. “My concern is we’re going to have a vacant piece of property for another 16 years, which would be a shame because the balance of the property is being built out.

“Just to be clear, the density that we would look at for a forsale townhome product would be toward the low end. I don’t expect us getting anywhere near that 90 range, it will probably be down in the 60-unit range,” he said.

Resident Kenny Mayes expressed his disapproval of the project saying that residential units don’t generate enough tax revenue for public services.

“I say no; this is a bad idea,” Mayes said.

The majority of the discussion

from council surrounded around the need for a general plan update.

“Times have changed, and they’ve changed so much in the past three months,” councilmember Marsha Swanson said. “Not to mention the past 16 years. We’ve gotta look at that general plan, and I know it’s expensive, I don’t know how we’re going to do it, but that general plan has to reflect today, not 16 years ago.”

The motion to allow the proposal to move forward was approved unanimously.

The council unanimously approved the consent calendar, which included a resolution ordering the levy and collection of special taxes within Community Facilities District 2013-1 for the fiscal year 2020-2021, and the second reading of general rule exemption and approval of Ordinance No. 189, the Large Family Day Care Home Amendment.

The calendar also included the second reading and approval of Or-

dinance No. 190 Urgent Care Code Amendment requiring a conditional use permit for urgent care clinics in commercial zones; the receiving and filing of the annual report from the Measure Z Oversight Advisory Committee; a resolution adopting the city’s statement of investment policy; the approval of a cooperation agreement to participate in the county of Riverside’s Community Development Block Grant program and acceptance of public improvements by Richmond American Homes in Tract 32078.

The council also made four appointments to the city’s Measure AA Oversight Advisory Committee – re-upping the terms of Steve Regalado, Shelley Hitchcock and Brian Jacobs for another two years and Chris Cellos will fill out a spot vacated by Doug Ames.

The council approved the appointments unanimously.

The council also unanimously approved a Girl Scouts Gold Award Project that will create a Military Appreciation Garden at Marna O’Brien Park.

ELSINORE from page A-1 was encouraging residents to “stay vigilant and take all steps necessary to protect themselves and their families” by following mandated public health orders.

As of the time of this posting, Lake Elsinore had reported 407 active cases of COVID-19 with 10 deaths, an increase of 79 cases as compared to one week ago.

During the closure Lake Elsinore will continue to provide all services using its online portal so residents can access any services that they may need while city hall is closed to the public.

Local Old Town business owners criticize Front Street closure Will Fritz ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Business owners in Old Town Temecula are speaking out about the city of Temecula’s plan to turn Old Town Front Street into a pedestrian paseo and allow eateries to move seating into the public right of way amid pandemic-related restrictions on indoor dining.

The Temecula City Council first approved the plan, June 9.

Originally, the plan called for Old Town Front Street to be closed between Second and Sixth streets beginning Wednesday, June 17.

Fourth and Fifth streets were also intended to be closed between Mercedes Street and the Murrieta Creek.

However, facing negative feedback from some business owners in the northern area of Old Town, city staff did not move forward with the closure on the original date, and revised the street closure plan to a smaller area.

Luke Watson, director of Temecula Community Services, said businesses found they did not have enough time to prepare, and that many business owners north of Fourth Street, as well as some from other areas, expressed that they did not seek to participate.

“They expressed a number of different concerns, including parking, they expressed the idea that the closure will deter visitors from coming into Old Town, there will be no ability to pick up and drop off purchases, cars going by is essential to their free marketing,” Watson said.

Starting June 24, Old Town Front Street was closed between Second and Fourth streets, with two dirt lots near Temecula City Hall being used as extra parking to make up for street parking lost on Front Street.

But even the revised plan went too far for some business owners, who said they have seen declines in revenue since the street closure has gone into effect, coming just after the lifting of some public

health orders allowed them to reopen their businesses.

Many of the negatively impacted businesses are antique shops and other types of stores that won’t benefit from the plan in the way restaurants will, as the closure plan was intended to keep restaurants open now that indoor dining is restricted. But even some restaurant owners were critical.

“It’s basically just put a chokehold on us, closing the street at the worst possible time,” Randy Routon, owner of the Swing Inn Café at the corner of Front and Third streets – one of the oldest eateries in Old Town, said. “When we were allowed to open back up on June 1 we were doing really well. We were coming back strong. Since Wednesday (June 24) when they closed the street, our business is down 40%.”

Routon criticized the city’s communication with business owners in Old Town, saying he found out about the closure plan from a city worker who was putting up a sign regarding the closure.

He said he did attend an impromptu meeting with the city at Mad Madeline’s Grill after he became aware of the closure.

“We were scrambling to get them to realize this is not a time for an experiment on someone’s livelihood,” Routon said.

He said his business has set up tables in their parking lot, and he prefers that solution over closing Old Town Front Street to vehicle traffic.

Dolores Sargeant, who owns Temecula Souvenirs with her husband, said their business was just picking up when the street closure went into effect. Since then, she said they have lost “30 to 40%” of their revenue.

“We had been open for three weeks and we were doing fine. We were happy with it; my employees were working. I could pay them,” Sargeant said. “But then with the street closure, this is unbelievable. This is closing down our

businesses, so that you can have the bars open.”

At least one bar owner was even opposed to the closure plan, however. Kelly Cusack, owner of rooftop bar Luke’s on Front, said her business has dropped by half since the start of the closure.

“Not only am I down 50%, customers say they’re not gonna come into Old Town,” Cusack said. “They’d rather go to the mall and wait an hour than deal with our (closure).”

Michael Kavanagh, owner of Front Street Salon, said she had a customer directly tell her he would not come back while the Old Town Front Street closure was in effect.

“He said ‘I won’t be returning to your salon because I don’t want to deal with road closures,’” Kavanagh told Valley News.

She said she was unhappy with the city’s efforts at outreach as well.

When the closure plan was first announced by the city council, Watson said he had met with

business owners at community meetings. But Kavanagh said she never knew anything about it.

“I found out nothing. The only way I found out about it was one of my stylists sent me a screen shot saying they were closing these roads,” Kavanagh said. “I totally understand why it needs to happen and I want the restaurants to survive. But most of these businesses, and the souvenir shops, we make our money during the day and most of these restaurants are in the evenings.”

While the opposition to the plan was widespread, it was not completely universal.

Ricky Leigh, owner of 1909 Fluids and Fare, said he hasn’t heard any negativity from customers, and in fact now that indoor dining has again been restricted due to an increase in coronavirus cases in Riverside County, he’s depending on the current street closure plan or a revised one to allow his business to remain open. “(Business) is roughly the

same, and it’s still down a little bit, but if they completely remove the street seating, it will basically cut our business in half,” Leigh said. “I mean, we have 120 employees at 1909, and if it’s half the business, it’s gonna be half the staff.”

He said if there is no street closure plan, he will have to lay off some of his workers.

“I think really, to me, that’s the biggest thing, is there is no mathematical way to support that many people” without being allowed to expand into the street, Leigh said.

The Temecula City Council was set to reexamine the street closure plan at its next meeting, July 14 after press time, and provide general direction to city staff on whether the plan should be amended after hearing feedback from business owners.

Temecula city officials did not return requests for comment by print deadline.

Hemet’s 2020-2021 fiscal year budget makes no cuts in public safety personnel

Hemet’s police department will see no significant impact in the 2020-2021 budget due to Measure U, the one-cent sales tax funding for public safety.

Valley News/Shane Gibson photo

Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

While the coronavirus pandemic has made a significant impact

on Hemet’s 2020-2021 budget, residents were assured by the city manager, staff and council that there will be no furloughs for public safety employees. Police

officers received a 6% salary increase in 2020.

Chris Lopez, Hemet city manager, said in response to an inquiry by the Valley News, “COVID-19

has had significant impacts to our budget. The financial model presented to the mayor and city council in January 2020 showed that even with Measure U, the city was headed toward fiscal insolvency.

“Maintaining existing spending levels from previous years would have depleted all of the city’s reserves including Measure U reserves in just a few years.

The COVID-19 pandemic only accelerated that fiscal reality. The approved budget does not use emergency reserves for ongoing and recurring expenditures. The city of Hemet still remains under state audit due to the financial issues identified by the state auditor in 2016,” he said.

Since the budget’s passage, there have been several claims from residents that the latest fiscal year 2020-2021 Measure U budget is in violation of Resolutions 4703 and 4231 which restricts the use of the unused yearly balance for public safety only.

Measure U is a one-cent sales tax that by resolution specifically helps fund the police and fire departments. In its fiscal year 20192020 budget, the city approved the use of any fund balance for public

safety expenditures, according to Lopez. Even with that the council is requesting the staff to revisit the resolution as the items contained within need to be evaluated.

He said, “There is not an urgency resolution required to fund police and fire with Measure U revenues or fund balance.”

Still the city, in its effort to maintain its “balanced” fiscal year 2020-2021 budget, is managing to retain all of its public safety employees in the police and fire departments and in all other departments, there are still challenges ahead for the city council as the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic continues.

“The financial impacts of COVID-19 are noted everywhere and it requires reductions in all departments. Our revenues are expected to decline by over $7 million in 15 months. Vacant positions were eliminated from the budget.

Maintaining existing expenditure levels would have required the use of emergency reserves for ongoing expenditures, which is something I did not recommend,” Lopez said.

Hemet’s mini license plate reader cameras to be evaluated Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Hemet, along with many other cities across the state, has employed mini cameras which are installed at intersections to record the license plates of each car passing by. The city said it considers them a valuable law enforcement tool, resulting in the recovery of many stolen vehicles and being of use in some criminal cases.

The partnership between the city and Atlanta-based Flock Safety, who installed 20 license plate reader cameras in the city, runs out in less than two years. Thus far, according to the city manager’s office the city has received no complaints from the public that the cameras may be infringing on their individual rights; however, other cities that once had the cameras RENTALS from page A-1 There are two types of rentals: “whole-home,” rentals, which are also known as “non-hosted” rentals where the homeowner rents out the home but is off-site and “homeshare” rentals, which are also known as “hosted” rentals where the homeowner is on the property during the guests’ stay.

Some benefits for short-term rentals include additional income for residents, increased tourism and retail revenue and improved visitor experience versus a hotel stay. Some drawbacks include issues or complaints about traffic, noise, parking and quality of life

installed are now taking them down because of such complaints.

The city’s contract with Flock Safety may continue, as Hemet police Chief Eddie Pust sees the partnership as “breaking technology with good old-fashioned police work.”

“We are looking forward to closing more cases and putting more criminals behind bars with the help of these cameras,” he said.

Also lauding the camera’s benefits is Garrett Langley, CEO of Flock Safety, who said in a news release, “We believe everyone has the right to public safety. Our mission is to eliminate crime, and we’re proud to work with the city of Hemet to make the area even safer.”

Although the result has been beneficial for Hemet and the other cities, issues for residents, among others, Tracy said.

The ordinance framework then looked at operational accountability with a strict enforcement of fines and other measures, which could include suspension for a year in some cases.

With this accountability, the city could set up a 24/7 contact number with a 30-minute response time for operators of short-term rentals.

At check-in, all renters would be provided a “Good Neighbor Brochure.” A limit of three vehicles maximum was introduced for on-site parking, and no parking would be allowed on the streets.

two people per bedroom was also instituted, and no special events are allowed during the duration of the rental, to cut down on partying.

Staff looked at limiting the location of short-term rentals and capping them to single-family residential dwellings and accessory structures, such as a pool house or casita, not accessory dwelling units as that’s prohibited by state law, and to privately owned condominiums and townhouses.

The allowed zones would be rural residential, estate-residential, single-family residential and multifamily.

They’re also looking at a citywide limit of 300 short-term vacation rental permits; as of July 7, there were about 177 rental offerings, according to staff; before the coronavirus pandemic, it was around 220-250.

The next step is looking at permits and processing including having an annual short-term vacation rental permit as a requirement, an annual business license requirement, posting a temporary sign with a complaint hotline number and website during rental periods and documentation by phone if there’s an issue, which would go to the vendor and code enforcement

or the police. Transient occupancy tax would apply, as it does with hotels.

For the next steps, staff recommended receiving public comment, providing consensus on “hosted” or “non-hosted” short-term vacation rentals and providing consensus on enforcement policy and other ordinance options.

The floor was opened up for quick questions from the council before opening it to public comments.

A few people submitted public comments in person on the subject; both in opposition and in favor. A number of comments were also received in written form and read by staff during the meeting.

Mayor Gene Wunderlich thanked everyone who came out to the meeting to give feedback, opinions and experiences and thanked those who submitted remarks through GotoMeeting and by email.

The council addressed some concerns; the first being parking.

“With regard to parking, we are having parking issues in the city of Murrieta, meaning that, I have many homes in my district, in my community where you have 10, 15 people renting a house because Murrieta’s a place people want to

In a talk, she explained that hoodies, shirts, dresses and skirts trigger automated license plate readers to inject useless data into systems used to track civilians.”

The value of the cameras will be evaluated in the city, according to city manager Chris Lopez.

‘The city will evaluate the program and determine its success,” he said. “It’s tough to predict what things will be like in two years.”

Meanwhile, Pust said criminals “should really reconsider committing a crime in Hemet, because it will likely land them in jail.”

live, and rentals are rather expensive,” council member Johnathan Ingram said. “I see that being an issue across the board in the future, and how we would implement and enforce the issue with parking, where you have 10, 15 cars that are there all month-round, all year-round that may not even be an STR.” Ingram asked city staff what the code was for single-family residences.

“For single-family residences where you have traditional guests, you are able when it’s a public street, you can have some guests use the street, but how we see this in the ordinance, no vehicles can be parked on a public street. They’d all have to be accommodated in the driveway or in the garage,” staff said.

Other discussion items were brought up by Ingram and staff before the council finished reading the written public comments that were submitted before the meeting.

Wildomar City Council repeals portion of resolution that deprioritized COVID-19 rules Jeff Pack STAFF WRITER

The Wildomar City Council Wenesday, July 8 walked back language in a resolution they passed back in May indicating that the enforcement of orders and mandates handed down by county and state health officials were not a priority for the city as far as funding goes.

Ultimately, the council repealed Resolution 2020-33, adopted May 13, that said the city would not be enforcing any of the mandates handed down by county and state health officials.

Mayor Dustin Nigg was the sole “no” vote.

The council did vote unanimously to change the language in Resolution 2020-34 by a similar 4-1 vote.

The repeal and language changes come as Riverside County undergoes a surge in new COVID-19 related cases with more mandates and closures coming down from California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The new mandates were similar to the ones that Newsom and his health department ordered back in late March to help slow the spread of the virus.

In response to those orders, in May 13, the Wildomar council passed a resolution recognizing the continued existence of an emergency situation and local emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic, while also ratifying an order handed down by Gary Nordquist, the city’s director of Emergency Services, saying the enforcement of state and county COVID-19-related mandates were not a city funding priority.

Nordquist identified police and fire emergency core service levels; building, safety and code enforcement services; road repair; quality of life services; animal control and the 20% general fund reserve as high priority items for general fund revenue.

“I think the six items that we have in priority, those are our priorities,” councilmember Marsha Swanson said at the time. “We can’t go around and enforce and make everybody put on a mask, take off a mask, stay home, not stay home. The people are doing what they do.”

Nigg said at the time, the city was under “an overlord,” refer-

COVID-19 from page A-1 days, along with increasing hospitalizations. As of Monday, Newsom said 6,485 were hospitalized across the state due to the coronavirus. A total of 7,017 deaths statewide have been attributed to the virus, according to the California Department of Public Health.

The new order, which is expected to be in place for the next

ring to rules set forth by Newsom that he portrayed as “unobtainable.”

Over the course of the next two months, the state and county gradually lifted some of the closures and mandates it had in place. The recent uptick in new cases had at least some of the council changing its stance on the resolutions passed back in May. In the general business time, during the Wednesday, July 8, virtual city council meeting, they approved the continuance of the temporary suspension of code enforcement so cities could expand signage and other business generating actions and had a lengthy discussion about the city’s funding priorities resolution from May. Nigg said he was still in favor of the resolution, though he said staff has expressed concerns about CARES Act funding reimbursement being lost.

“Which is about $460,000 money that will be sent from the state for the reimbursement of COVID-related cost the city has expensed,” Nigg said. “I’m still of the mindset that we have priorities regardless. And I still think we can enforce these rules by having our code enforcement go out and start with the educational approach. Because we’re not trying to be mask police or anything else. If they go out there and we document it in our database, it shows that we are enforcing, so we’re not, in my eyes, putting that funding at risk.

“Is there a level of risk by keeping it in place? Yes. When we get audited, when they see the resolution and they don’t buy the fact that we have a database full of code complaints and everything else, is there a possibility that we’d have to pay it back for something? Yeah, there’s a possibility. I’m still in support of it, I think it’s a good message to the community,” he said.

Councilmember Ben Benoit expressed his reasoning for wearing a mask and why he thinks it’s an important message to put forth to the community.

“I wear a mask because I care about my family. I care about my mom and sister who I go out and buy food for and then take to them in the Coachella Valley so they don’t have to go out and buy food,” he said. “I care

three weeks, was placed on top of a July 1 order that banned indoor operations at restaurants, wineries, family entertainment centers, cardrooms, theaters and museums.

Newsom’s Monday announcement drew the ire of a civil liberties law group out of Murrieta representing churches in Riverside County that lambasted Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive order.

“The state’s actions (Monday)

about the people I walk by in the aisle at Costco. I care about our citizens that I see on the street. I care about the people that I see and know.

“I believe that resolution still rings some truth as far as our priorities, but I think that some caveat that, maybe not enforcement but just an understanding that we do encourage because we care,” he said.

Benoit said he recognized that the mandates and regulations surrounding the issue have become political issues and he will likely receive some emails for what he said.

“I don’t care,” he said. “Because you know what? I care about our citizens, I care about our neighbors, I care about our families. I feel like as much as it’s not about enforcement, it’s as much about putting a message out that we do care. I think Wildomar cares, and I think that’s something we need to pivot toward and that changes some of our resolutions a little bit.”

Benoit and councilmember Joseph Morabito suggested repealing the resolution, but Nigg and Swanson resisted that idea.

“It felt good at the time, ‘hey Mr. Governor, this is what we think,’” Morabito said. “Even if there’s a remote chance that we could end up having some funding at stake, I don’t see at this point any moral victory by keeping that going.”

Nigg compared the wearing of seatbelts to mask requirement mandates.

“I just don’t like any part of government telling you (that) you have to do it,” Nigg said. “I know that sounds weird … I think it’s a good idea, the seatbelts; don’t sit in the car without it, but…”

Nigg said he thought the council could go through and adjust some of the text in the resolution to update it because back when the original resolution was adopted, he said, projections and models presented by county health officials weren’t coming to fruition.

“I think we all thought it was going to be over soon, and it changed,” Swanson said during the July 8 meeting.

“The models weren’t matching reality, not even by a little bit,” Nigg said. “At least now, those previous models are at least matching, hence the completely Zoom meeting tonight.”

Nigg said that he was confident city staff would go out and educate violators of the mandates, even going so far as to say they could impose a fine on repeat offenders, but said, “Nobody wants to be mask police.”

He said he wanted to be sure that the business community in the city knows that the city council supports local businesses.

Benoit reiterated that while he realized that enforcement wasn’t what the city was prioritizing, he

said it was important for the city to encourage residents and businesses to comply.

“I think it would be helpful if they got a message from their city, ‘look, we all care and we care about each other enough to say wear a mask,’” he said. “I think that’s something we need to put out.”

Councilmember Bridgette Moore made a motion to reword Resolution 2020-34.

In the end, the resolution was revamped: “Now, therefore, be it resolved the City Council of the city of Wildomar, therefore, will be pursuing all avenues available and within our jurisdiction to help our residents and businesses return to a pre-COVID-19 normal lifestyle while in the meantime also strongly recommending that we follow state orders and county guidelines, including wearing face coverings because we care about our residents.”

The council also approved Nordquist to submit the certification form to the state for reimbursement for money already spent enforcing the COVID-19 mandates.

“I take that letter won’t mention what we had in the past?”

Benoit asked.

“No, come on man, we’re smarter than that,” Nigg said.

impose another significant setback to the desperately needed social services that are provided by religious organizations,” attorney Robert Tyler with Murrieta-based Advocates for Faith & Freedom, said. “We have (a) mental health crisis that is just as significant as COVID-19. Many churches and synagogues will now be forced to shutter their support groups, counseling and humanitarian relief.

“Now, the state says religious organizations in 80% of the state must meet outdoors, if at all, and gave discretion for local government to issue greater restrictions on outdoor meetings. Is a worship service any less protected under the First Amendment than a protest? Are the social services

provided by a church any less important than those provided through a government office? No. “The freedom of worship is of paramount importance, and we will support churches who provide services as their faith sincerely dictates, so long as they do not provide their services recklessly.

We encourage religious leaders to stand on principle, serve their community and worship God in the manner dictated by their faith,” Tyler said.

So far, according to Riverside County Public Health officials, 25,748 have tested positive for the virus with 292 new cases logged Saturday, 469 on Sunday and 222 on Monday. In all, 550 people have died from the virus.

On Monday, there were 15 fewer people hospitalized with the virus since Friday, for a new total of 511 hospitalizations. The county reported 139 of those patients were in intensive care units, 23 more than before the weekend started.

Overall, 9,711 people have recovered from the virus, exactly 1,000 more than the Monday before, and so far, the county has tested 289,362 residents for the virus, 12,728 over the weekend.

Menifee saw the highest number of new cases Monday, with 30 more than reported over the weekend and 522 cases overall.

The city has also suffered seven deaths overall.

Temecula suffered its first death from the virus and added 20 cases over the weekend for a total of 440.

Murrieta added 24 (497), Wildomar added 13 (211), Lake Elsinore added 19 new cases (469), Canyon Lake added one new case (26), Hemet added 15 new cases (644) and San Jacinto added 13 (452).

One more person in Hemet and Murrieta died over the weekend due to the virus.

In local communities, Anza saw one new case (seven), East Hemet added four new cases (123), French Valley added eight new cases (139), Lakeland Village added two (75), Valle Vista added two (85), and Winchester added one more case (three).

East Hemet has lost two residents, and Lakeland Village has also lost one resident total to the virus.

The county reported that there were 259 confirmed cases in county jails and another 1,156 cases recorded in state prisons within the county. Both numbers indicated minimal growth.

Local Murrieta City Council moves to change zoning after public request Lexington Howe STAFF WRITER

During the Murrieta city council meeting, Tuesday, July 7, a consent item was removed from the calendar for continued discussion by public request, regarding a zoning request on Jackson Avenue.

After two public comments, city staff who had previously presented the general plan update and environmental impact report for areas throughout Murrieta, agreed to revisit the area in question.

“So we’re talking about Area 2; in the city this is the area along the I-15 freeway from just south of the Sam’s Club down to the border of the city of Temecula,” senior planner Carl Stiehl said.

The current zoning is for an office research park and with some commercial space.

“The existing underlying zone is actually not the office research park zone; the existing underlying zone is office, which is even more limiting than the office research park zone so that might be part of why it’s difficult to develop over time,” Stiehl said.

The most recent action three weeks ago changed the proposed land-use Area 2 to innovation throughout most of the area, and there was some change to open space as well.

“The innovation doesn’t add more office, the change to innovation and the ORP added a number of employment-based uses,” Stiehl said. “Expanded business-support type uses; expanded manufacturing and processing type uses; expanded uses that would go with a hotel or a large office complex; things like some commercial and retail that would be allowed like on the first floor of an office building for example or a hotel; things like restaurants and also some expanded transportation-related uses for future employment based uses. So, more of an expanded office commercial industrial zone is how we would categorize the innovation.”

They did study commercial as

part of the project, and that option was included in Alternative 3.

They studied allowing for community commercial, and that’s what members of the public requested during the comment period.

Council member Jonathan Ingram asked city staff if it would be possible to zone Area 2 for commercial, retail and innovation.

Staff said the council could consider designating the areas west of Jackson Avenue as commercial and

leave the remaining space in Area 2 as innovation, splitting it along the road.

Council member Kelly Seyarto suggested designating the area north of the rehabilitation center as innovation, the lot near Temecula RV as commercial and everything on the other side of Jackson Avenue would be commercial.

Because the council covered both options in the environmental impact report in a previous meeting, they were not required to open it to the public for comment following on this change.

To clarify, the council cannot assign two zoning designations to a single property, such as both commercial and innovation. They must designate either commercial or innovation. The designations can be adjacent to each other, however.

Seyarto made a motion, and city staff agreed with it in a recommendation, that on the east side it might be easier to just have the change to commercial where they switch from open space to commercial, on the southerly portion, and commercial zoning would go to the parcel that the assisted living facility occupies.

Before the motion was voted on, the city clerk clarified there were two ordinances open for a second reading, and the current action related to Ordinance 560 which puts the zoning in place; Ordinance 559 only addresses the definitions of the innovation zone.

The city clerk requested that the motion included the option of Ordinance 559.

The city clerk also requested that at the ordinance’s second reading, they also adopt a resolution addressing the general plan land use, which was adopted previously as a resolution. It did not appear on the agenda for July 7, so it couldn’t be addressed during the meeting.

Accordingly, the general plan land use would come back at the second reading as a resolution to address the land use component under the general plan, the city clerk said.

The motion passed unanimously.

Menifee City Hall returns to virtual services with rise in COVID-19 cases Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Armando Villa, city manager of Menifee, announced that due to the growing number of coronavirus cases in Riverside County and in Menifee, the City Hall will transition back to virtual City Hall services, but the police department will remain open to the public.

With the announcement Friday, July 10, Villa and the city staff began a new marketing campaign to encourage residents, business owners, visitors and stakeholders to “Skip the Line and Go Online.”

The new campaign explained the enhanced ways residents can save time and quickly access virtual City Hall services and the Zero

Stop Shop permit center from the ease of their home or offices.

The website may be found at http://menifeebusiness.com/ wp-content/upload/2020/06/ SKIPTHE.pdf.

In-person appointments can still be made as of Wednesday, July 15, between 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. by using the city’s website or by calling 951-6726777.

Villa, acting as the city’s director of emergency services, said public access to the City Hall, 29844 Haun Road, in Menifee will be “reevaluated” incrementally in

relation to the pandemic.

“The city understand the difficult times we are all living through, and we are proud of the city staff and leadership that is working both the crisis and behind the scenes to continue to provide high levels of customer service to our residents and business owners, while ensuring that our city staff remains safe the healthy during the pandemic in order to provide the services our residents have come to expect and enjoy in our growing community,” Villa said.

Michelle and Dirk Uys are a few weeks away from launching their e-bike business in Temecula’s Wine Valley News/Courtesy photo Country.

Lexington Howe STAFF WRITER

Soon visitors touring wineries can do it on two wheels with Temecula Wine Country E-Bikes, a local bike rental business starting up in the next couple of weeks.

Michelle and Dirk Uys came to Temecula from Cape Town, South Africa, in 2003. They moved out to Temecula’s Wine Country in 2010 and decided to plant a vineyard.

“We’ve always been wine enthusiasts, and that’s how the whole wine country experience started,” Michelle Uys said. “I’m a pretty active cyclist so I do a lot of cycling in wine country.”

They have an Airbnb experience where they do tours of their vineyard and winery.

“We’re not a commercial winery – we call ourselves Garagiste winemakers so we’re basically really small,” she said.

Garagiste winemakers essentially started off as a French movement where people used to make wine in their garage, Michelle Uys said, and they share that experience as a tour with Airbnb guests.

“One day we had two girls show up, and they were about 10 minutes late,” Michelle Uys said.

“They rented bicycles to tour the wine country and the hills really got to them, so on the last hill they ended up having to push the bikes.”

Her husband Dirk Uys came up with the idea of e-bikes.

“We had already experienced (them) with friends who have ebikes just a few weeks before that; we went out to Palm Springs and rode around on the e-bikes with them,” Michelle Uys said. “That’s where the whole idea started. It was to make it easier for people to

do something where you can ride around on your own. The e-bikes make it really effortless, so that’s where the idea was born.”

They researched the various options looking for an e-bike for any age rider.

“One of the things we noticed when we got on our friends’ bikes is they were sort of difficult,” Michelle Uys said. “An e-bike is generally a lot heavier than a normal bike because it has to be sturdy enough for the motor, and then also the battery as well adds weight to it.

“I’m not very tall so for me to get on the bikes was sort of a problem, and when you stopped you sort of fell off it, so we started our research into something that would be easy for everyone,” she said.

They decided on Rad Power EBikes, she said.

“They have more than one stepthrough, which is really easy to get on and that means any age can do it,” Michelle Uys said. “A stepthrough bike just means it’s got a much lower distance from the ground to where the frame starts.”

At this stage, they have the Radcity Step-Thru and the RadRover Fat Bike Step-Thru available to rent.

Their company website isn’t up yet for the public; however, Michelle Uys said they are about two weeks away from having everything up online.

“We want to have everything automated so that people can get all the information they want online and do the booking online, payment and everything, so that’s why we don’t really get going without having all of that resources available to the public,” she said.

“We’re just in the final stage of finalizing some software for the

actual rental site.”

They’ll also be launching some other ideas with their e-bike rentals, some other experiences on the wine side, and those will launch at the same time, she said.

“I’m going to start reaching out to people on Instagram to actually just take out the bikes and leave us some reviews,” Michelle Uys said.

Once the business is up and running, the bikes will be available for full day rentals.

“We will basically do a delivery – you’ll book the bike, and we’ll deliver the bike to wherever you’re staying or will be staying that evening around 5 or 6 o’clock in the evening, and then we’ll pick it up again the next day at about the same time,” she said.

On weekends, she said they will have pickups available in the morning if people want to come by instead of having it delivered.

Since Dirk Uys is a mechanical engineer, if any repairs are needed, Michelle Uys said he will be able to make those repairs, and if it is more extensive, they can take it to a local bike shop.

The Uys said they just want people to have fun getting around with the e-bikes.

“Some people are early risers; they might want to get up in the morning and go for a ride while everything is quiet, and some are specifically wanting to just do a tour of the wineries,” Michelle Uys said. “I think it provides you with more opportunities to do what you want to do.”

Supervisors approve Sirah Vineyard development Joe Naiman WRITER

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved a Temecula Valley Wine Country development which will subdivide 290 acres into 14 parcels.

The supervisors voted 5-0, Tuesday, July 7, to approve the tentative parcel map and a zoning change from Citrus/Vineyard – 5 Acre Minimum to Wine Country – Winery. Although the land use designation remains as Agriculture: Agriculture a general plan amendment involving the plan’s circulation element changed La Serena Way from a secondary highway to a collector. The supervisors’ action also removed 43.27 acres from an agricultural preserve and disestablished a second agricultural preserve which had been 82.73 acres.

Sirah Vineyard Development Corporation owns the land south and west of La Serena Way, north of Rancho California Road and east of Butterfield Stage Road. The

14 lots will have a minimum size of 20 acres. The tentative parcel map is for the subdivision of land only; future land uses will be specific to each parcel although they will be consistent with land uses permitted by the Wine Country – Winery zoning classification.

Rancho California Agricultural Preserve No. 3 was established in August 1970 and was originally 138.85 acres. In September 2008, the preserve was diminished by 84.04 acres, and the removal of the 43.27 acres reduces the remaining amount to 10.54 acres.

Rancho California Agricultural Preserve No. 35 was established in April 1982 and was originally 152.3 acres. In September 2008, 70.17 acres were removed from that preserve. The Temecula Valley Wine Country Policy Area was established to protect the region’s viticulture activities, wineries and incidental commercial uses, large residential estates and equestrian uses and the encouragement of incidental commercial uses maintains agricultural character without

having the limits of an agricultural preserve. The Southwest Area Plan allows for subdivisions with minimum lot sizes of 10 acres.

Had La Serena Way retained its secondary highway classification, it would have been slated for expansion to four lanes. Anza Road is the only street in the Temecula Valley Wine Country Policy Area which is not a two-lane road, and the reclassification of La Serena Way to a collector allows it to remain as a rural road. Although La Serena Way after buildout would be approximately 5% above the level of Service D capacity for a collector, the planned improvements for La Serena Way include a traffic signal at its intersection with Butterfield Stage Road and a roundabout at its intersection with Rancho California Road.

The county’s planning commission heard the proposed changes May 6 and voted 5-0 to recommend approval.

Community rallies around Overcast Skate Shop following break-in Samantha Cox INTERN

Robert Mariona, owner of Overcast Skate Shop in Temecula, grips a skateboard deck for a customer as his skateshop recovers from a robbery that took place, July 5.

Valley News/Shane Gibson photo

Robert Mariona found broken doors and glass, along with missing merchandise at his store, Overcast Skate Shop, in Temecula Sunday, July 5, evidence that it had been broken into in the early morning hours.

“Sucks when you are actually just a skateboarder trying to get people to skate,” Mariona said in an Instagram post. “I work hard for everything I do.”

Many customers expressed their disappointment in the comments.

Soon after people heard about the break-in, they set up several fundraisers to support Mariona in bringing the shop back to life.

Allysa Bassir, owner of Lazy Daisy Pies, shared a GoFundMe page created by Lily Castro, Mariona’s girlfriend, with her Facebook followers.

“So bummed for our fellow vegan and business owner Robert.

Overcast Skate Shop got broken into. Send him some love if you

can!” Bassir said on Facebook.

Tommy Morgan, tattoo artist at Envision Tattoo in Murrieta, created a raffle to raise money to support the skate shop. Those who were interested could purchase $10 tickets for the chance to win a $200 tattoo, a $80 gift certificate or an Overcast deck and T-shirt.

“Sadly, this is the second time Overcast Skate Shop was broken into, but this time they cleared him out,” Morgan said. “Last time we were able to raise a good chunk of money through tattoos, so let’s do it again.”

Overcast Skate Shop is located at 28780 Old Town Front St. in Temecula. Those interested in helping can donate any amount to GoFundMe at https://www. gofundme.com/f/help-overcastskateshop-rebuild-after-breakin.

All proceeds will be used to fix the doors, purchase security cameras and replace stolen merchandise.

Cross Creek’s rolling green hills provide a beautiful spot for outdoor weddings

Cross Creek Golf Club in Temecula can host up to 300 guests on-site for outdoor weddings.

For couples looking for beautiful outdoor scenes and greenery for their wedding, look no further than Cross Creek Golf Club in Temecula.

Cross Creek Golf Club, located at 43860 Glen Meadows Road, has been hosting weddings for seven years.

“We have a brand-new venue under a big oak tree,” Dave Garner, general manager of Cross Creek, said. “Natural settings all around with trees everywhere, so anybody that’s looking for that kind of setting we certainly fit very well.”

Garner has been managing the course for the past eight years.

They recently reopened April 23 and are currently booking for weddings.

“It’s mostly for 2021,” Garner said. “Pretty much all the weddings that were booked for spring or early summer have been moved to 2021 just because of all the indecision on certain things.

“Right now, I’m able to do ceremonies, kind of a cocktail hour type, so anyone who at this moment is looking to have a ceremony, kind of a simple cocktail hour we can do that now,” he said.

“But at this point we can’t do any kind of official receptions or anything like that.”

The course has been taking extra precautions with sanitation due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“I think it’s the one place right now where people, obviously you’ve got to like golf, but it’s kind of a place where you can go and have some sense of normalcy,” Garner said. “Maybe it’s an escape for a lot of people.”

They’ve been receiving quite a bit of traffic regarding the wedding

venue aspect of the course, he said.

“I think right now a lot of the brides and grooms are kind of accepting this current state, so instead of keeping on wondering whether they’re going to do it, I think a lot of them are moving their weddings back to 2021,” Garner said.

The maximum number the venue can hold is 300, though the average booking is around 150, Garner said.

“We have one site a few 100 yards from the clubhouse that we use for our wedding ceremony venue,” Garner said. “The people that really do like our site are people that like to kind of customize weddings, and we have a lot of flexibility on that customization, so they can take some control on how it actually turns out.”

Cross Creek Golf Club is nestled among the hillsides of De Luz. “The area that the golf course is in is called the De Luz area of Temecula, which is about 7 miles into the hills to the west toward the ocean from Temecula or from downtown,” Garner said.

Garner said he thinks Cross Creek is one of the most beautiful golf venues in Southern California.

“It’s very unique,” Garner said.

“If you’re interested in having your wedding as well in this kind of outdoor, beautiful setting with the stars above you everywhere and beautiful evenings when the sun sets out to the west, we have a brand-new ceremony site and beautiful reception area; we’d love to have you come take a tour.”

Riverside County officials talk hospitalization numbers, contact tracing Jeff Pack STAFF WRITER

While Riverside County’s testing numbers continue to rise, the number of positive COVID-19 cases also climb higher.

Riverside County public health officials reported 546 new cases of COVID-19 along with 20 new deaths associated with the virus, Tuesday, July 7, during the Riverside County Board of Supervisors meeting. Health officials updated the board members on how the county was dealing with the pandemic that has killed more than 500 county residents.

One of the more widespread theories talked about on social media places the blame for the county’s increase in positive cases on patients from Imperial County being transported to Riverside County hospitals.

In early June, Bruce Barton, director of the Riverside County Emergency Management Department, confirmed to Valley News that Riverside County had recently taken in 51 patients stricken with the coronavirus from Imperial County hospitals. He said at the time that another 12 patients originating from Imperial County had walked into county hospitals as well.

As the two Imperial County hospitals continue to deal with an influx of COVID-19 patients, patients have continued to be transported to nearby counties such as San Diego and Orange County to help lessen the impact.

On Tuesday, during a discussion with supervisors about how the surge was impacting county hospitals, Barton confirmed that four patients were currently hospitalized.

“Over the weekend, we went from 429 hospitalizations on Thursday to 495 were reported yesterday,” Barton said. “That is a significant jump countywide. Hospital bed utilization is at 68.1% of licensed capacity and of the 495 COVID-19 patients hospitalized across the county, 130 are in ICU. “Once again, 495 COVID-19 positive patients and 130 of those being in intensive care represent the single highest day total so far, which seems to (become) a daily story,” he said.

Barton said the utilization of countywide licensed ICU beds is at 94%, which means that 362 of the 385 ICU beds are occupied.

“Six of the 17 acute care hospitals are over their licensed ICU capacity and are utilizing additional ICU beds according to their surge plan,” Barton said. “Out of the 495 COVID-19 positive individuals that

were hospitalized and Riverside County’s 17 acute care hospitals, 10 of them are from the state prisons as of yesterday and four are patients that were transferred from Imperial County.”

Kim Saruwatari, director of public health for Riverside County Department of Public Health, told the board that testing is increasing countywide.

“We also are very closely monitoring our testing,” she said. “We have seen our testing numbers increase, which is great. It allows us to better characterize where the disease is in the community.

“Our positivity rate, however, is around 15.9% now. We are almost double what the state’s threshold of 8% is. Just to make everybody aware, uh, we are continuing to monitor that and work closely with our testing group and our case investigators and contact tracers.”

Saruwatari said the county is adding roughly 60 contact tracers each week, and they currently have almost 300 on the job.

Chuck Washington, District 3 supervisor, had questions for the department about contact tracing and the controversy around what the data collected would be used for.

“I have a number of folks who are concerned about participating in contact tracing,” he said. “They fear that is something that perhaps the government’s trying to do to them. And in some cases, they’re actually steering clear of any kind of health help procedures or other interaction with health, for fear that it may cause them to need to be contact traced.”

Washington said he’s explained to those who are skeptical about the contact tracing process that it’s been around for years.

“Before COVID-19, it was certainly a significant component of trying to control the spread of (sexually transmitted diseases),” he said.

“I can imagine that that would be a very uncomfortable conversation for someone to have if they tested positive for an STD, and then you would have to go and ask them who else they may have been interacting with, I should say.

“Can you just briefly explain the basis of contact tracing, why you do it, and why it’s so important right now for our containment of the coronavirus?” Washington said.

Saruwatari explained.

“We actually are seeing this with our own communities and our contact tracers,” she said. “They are having some difficulty in some cases getting information about where people have been so that we can effectively contact trace.

Containers for coronavirus nose swab tests are arranged for use before sending off for results.

“Contact tracing, as you mentioned, is something that we’ve been using in public health for decades. We use it for tuberculosis, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV, any communicable disease that we investigate. Contact tracing is a very important tool in our toolbox,” she said.

Saruwatari said the goal of contact tracing is to disrupt disease transmission. She said that when someone is diagnosed, a public health nurse or communicable disease specialist, will call the person and talk about their symptoms, where they may have been infected, who else lives in their home and whether someone in their home may be at higher risk if they catch the virus.

“We talk about their environment and who else might need to be tested,” Saruwatari said. “We talk about who needs to be quarantined.

Then we ask about where the case has been outside of the home. The reason that we do this is because we want to stop the spread of transmission. So if that person was eating in a restaurant and then went to a dentist and then was shopping in a retail store, we want to look at those environments and see if it was possible for transmission to occur there.”

Saruwatari said if the contact tracers can’t nail down that information, all of the people who came in contact with the patient may go on to test positive for the disease themselves and pass it on again.

“The way that we are going to get our arms around this pandemic is

from our cases, identify contacts and contact, reach out to those contacts and put them on quarantine so that they are not potentially spreading the disease any further,” she said.

“We are not passing judgment on where people have been, what they’ve been doing. We don’t share that information with law enforcement or anybody else. It is purely for public health to stop disease transmission.”

Karen Spiegel, District 2 supervisor, shared a conversation she had with a constituent.

“It was an interesting conversation I had with somebody who told me, they refuse to talk to anybody with the contact tracing,” she said.

“They said if they infected someone, they were afraid it was going to track down and they’ll be sued because they gave that person COVID-19.

“I want to verify that you said that information is not passed on.

There’s no way to sue somebody if you’re out and it spreads. I’m just concerned because if that’s the word that’s being spread about, not talking to contact tracing, it’s going be a little more challenging to get some information so that we can help squash it,” Spiegel said.

“When our contact tracers reach out to contacts of a case, they never disclose who the case is,” Saruwatari said. “They are very careful that they are not giving enough information so that the person can say, ‘Oh, you’re talking about where I was in this meeting on this day, at this time sitting next to this person.’ They don’t get into that detail. Our whole

point is just to notify that person and say, ‘You may have been exposed, and it’s important that we talk about your symptoms. Get you in for testing,’ and not focus on where that exposure occurred, because we don’t want to violate anybody’s right to confidentiality.

“We’re not going to tell the person that this person was positive, and you were around them. We’re very, very careful, and our contact tracers are very skilled at having conversations without disclosing that sensitive information.”

V. Manuel Perez, District 4 supervisor, asked if hospitals were ready for the surge.

“There are particular hospitals that are surging as we speak right now and so there is definitely a reason to be concerned,” he said.

“The other reason to be concerned is we can’t pin down any one reason (for the surge). There’s a number of reasons: people going out, people not observing the guidelines of social distancing, not wearing masks, protests, other congregate settings.

It’s not any one thing. It’s a combination of all of the above.

“We certainly believe there’s expert opinion that supports the fact that after we have holiday weekends, it’s followed up by surges.

We just had one, the effects of that we will start to feel in a week, two weeks, three weeks. It’s hard to have a crystal ball on that, but that bullet, so to speak, has left the gun,” Perez said.

KPC Health appoints Mike Sarian Some Riverside County hospitals are president, announces additional in ‘surge’ mode but not ‘overwhelmed’ as leadership appointments

Paul Young CITY NEWS SERVICE

A Riverside County emergency services official told the county Board of Supervisors Tuesday, July 7, that the recent jump in coronavirus patient caseloads prompted a half dozen hospitals countywide to switch to “surge plans” to accommodate the infirm, but the facilities are not operating beyond their limits.

“We have six hospitals that are over capacity,” Emergency Management Department Director Bruce Barton said. “They are using their surge plans. But that’s not the same thing as being overwhelmed.

They are not overwhelmed. They still have the capacity.”

Barton confirmed that just under 500 COVID-19 patients are receiving treatment in the county’s 17 acute-care medical facilities.

Among those patients are 135 indi-

viduals who have been admitted to intensive care units, he said.

ICU beds countywide are at 94% capacity, while sub-acute beds are at 68% capacity, according to the EMD director.

Some hospitals have disproportionately higher numbers of coronavirus patients than others.

Barton said that all of the hospitals have the capability of operating beyond their licensed capacities – a point that has been emphasized repeatedly. Last week, he told the board that most or all of the medical facilities can add 30% more bed space on short notice to facilitate patients.

“There has been a vigorous and robust planning effort (in preparation) for a surge,” Barton said.

“Some hospitals are deeper into it than others. It’s all about their internal capacity.”

He said hospitals have the option to switch to overcapacity operations

well in advance of actually being inundated with patients, be they COVID-19 cases or others.

As to the reasons for the significant rise in coronavirus-related hospitalizations – which are up 130% compared to a month ago – Barton could not “pin down any one thing.”

“Could be a number of reasons ... like the protests we’ve had,” the EMD director said. “It’s hard to have a crystal ball.”

According to Barton, the EMD and other county agencies are assisting hospitals by every means possible, including masks for staff.

The county has come into possession of 2 million N95 masks, and another million are expected to be available for distribution by the end of the month, Barton said.

The county received $431 million in federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security – CARES – Act funding for just acquisitions.

CORONA – KPC Health appointed Mike Sarian to serve as president of its Southern California health system, which includes seven acute care facilities located throughout Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

In addition, KPC Health announced the appointments of Jamie Yoo as CEO of Anaheim Global Medical Center, Matt Whaley as CEO of South Coast and Chapman Global Medical Centers and Derek Drake as chief operating officer of Orange County Global Medical Center.

Sarian previously served as president and chief operating officer of two Southern Californiabased health care systems and has been responsible for managing

Residents can also call 800-9456171, seven days a week from 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. The wait time to make an appointment by phone is shorter between 5-10 p.m.

“The online appointment system will make it easier and more convenient for everyone to get tested for coronavirus,” V. Manuel Perez, Riverside County board chair and 4th District supervisor, said. “It will save time for families making testing appointments, and enable everyone to register for an account to view the result online. An online scheduling system enhances our testing capacity as more testing is conducted

throughout Riverside County.”

The number of confirmed coronavirus cases has continued to rise recently, along with hospitalizations and ICU usage throughout Southern California. The county today is reporting 679 new cases and two new deaths from the virus.

Health officials are concerned the Independence Day weekend could cause a spike if residents do not adhere to safety requirements, including wearing face coverings, maintaining social distancing and frequent hand-washing.

How to keep a pet-friendly home clean TEMECULA – Sixty-eight percent of American households, or about 85 million families, own a pet, according to the 2017-2018 National Pet Owners Survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association.

Dogs, cats and other companion animals can be wonderful to have around, breathing energy into a family. Despite all of the advantages pets can bring, they tend to be a little messy; however, it doesn’t mean it’s impossible to have a pet and maintain a clean home. Homeowners can take a few extra steps to help things along.

Manage pet fur. One of the persistent issues pet parents face is fur. Grooming the pet regularly – preferably outdoors – will help tame some of its fur. Covering sofas and other places where pets like to lounge with an old sheet can contain some of the fur where it can be shaken off outdoors and laundered frequently.

Upgrade the family vacuum.

You’ll need a vacuum with strong suction to pick up fur, dirt, dander, feathers, birdseed and any of the other debris that can accumulate thanks to pets. A vacuum with a good brush action also can dig in deep to carpets and upholstery to really clean thoroughly, the experts at House Beautiful said.

Pause for paws at the door. Keep a small container of water by the front door. When returning from walks, dip the dog’s paws into the

water and dry before entering the house. It keeps dirt from being a nuisance.

Get the right cleanser. Pet owners must contend with accidents.

Look for an enzymatic cleanser that will treat stains and odors so that pets do not return to the soiled area again and again thinking it is an acceptable potty location, says Modern Dog magazine. Test an area of the carpet or floor being treated for colorfastness before applying. Address accidents promptly.

Choose the right upholstery. According to Martha Stewart Living, look for top-grain, semi-aniline leathers, as scratches are disguised

on such pieces. In terms of fabric, microfiber or micro suede are better suited to pets because the fabric is tightly woven and may be more resistant to fur and soiling.

Launder pet items. Regularly wash bedding and other belongings that pets use. It will help tame indoor odors.

Keep nails neat. Clipping dog and cat and other small animals’ nails may help avoid scratches on furniture and floors. If you do not feel comfortable doing it, take the animal to a groomer.

Pet owners can keep their homes clean regardless of how much dirt their pets track into the house.

LEAGUE CITY, Texas – As the weather heats up across the country, millions of people will be taking their pets on the road with them – and some of those pets may never return home. As of May 2018, 28 states have laws regarding leaving animals unattended in parked cars to protect them from unsafe and potentially dangerous conditions, one of these being high temperatures.

Veterinarian JoAnna Pendergrass at Honest Paws recommended these tips for caring for dogs during the hottest months of the year.

First, never leave a dog in the car. The inside temperature of a car rises rapidly in the summer. It

could take only minutes for a dog to become fatally overheated.

Keep the house air-conditioned all day, even when no one is at home.

Walk a dog in the early morning and late evening, avoiding the hottest parts of the day. When walking a dog, try to walk it on the grass to protect the paw pads from the heat of asphalt.

Keep a dog indoors where it’s cooler as much as possible. Elevated cots and cooling pet pads give the pet a cool place to lie down.

When playing outside with a dog, make sure that it has easy access to cool, fresh water. If a dog is relaxing or playing outside, make sure that it has access to

shade, consider using a portable sun shade.

Pay close attention to signs of heat exhaustion: dizziness, excessive panting, difficulty breathing, excessive drooling, not urinating, weakness, vomiting or diarrhea, rapid pulse and abnormally colored gums. If a dog is showing any of these signs, bring the dog inside immediately and call a veterinarian.

Consider purchasing UV-blocking clothes to reduce a dog’s risk of sunburn and skin cancer.

Some Black lives don’t matter Marilyn M. Singleton, M.D., J.D. SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

I grew up in a segregated neighborhood where within three months of our Doberman’s death, our house was burglarized four times. Thus, a new architectural feature appeared on our home: burglar bars.

I can’t imagine living in my old neighborhood with no police to protect us. Our experience reflected the 2016 and 2019 studies showing no racial bias in police shootings – what Harvard University’s Roland G. Fryer Jr. called “the most surprising result of my career.”

Year after year, this baby boomer Black woman has seen the country change for the better. It was the ever-present burglar bars that made me appreciate integration all the more. Now I can live in any neighborhood I choose. As Black people moved through an integrated society, negative attitudes changed.

While the Great Society’s federal poverty programs helped around the edges, the rules for some programs encouraged mothers to jettison their children’s father from the home. Fatherless children are more likely to be high school drop-outs, thus limiting their opportunities for the future. There must be more to social policy than throwing federal dollars at “the underserved.” Reliance on government money is the road to a permanent low income. It saps the recipient of dignity and the spirit

of achievement.

Welfare programs hurt more than they have helped by marrying the recipients to the government.

Eldridge Cleaver, minister of information of the Black Panthers, said it well, “What we have to do is organize people in free institutions that can put them to work, and then they can draw their living out of our economy, not out of the federal treasury. …If we (create projects) through the state like President Roosevelt did with the New Deal, you augment the power of the state. But if you do it through decentralized structures that are controlled by the people, then we maintain our freedom, within a free institution.”

Black activists complained that cities were run by White men.

For years, we’ve had Black mayors, chiefs of police and school superintendents. Sadly, little has changed. As of 2013, only 59% of Black males finished high school.

High school drop-outs have a 70% chance of going to prison.

Black folks cannot partake of the opportunities in front of them without a good education. Many times, the worst teachers are shunted to poor neighborhoods with substandard schools. Meanwhile, “progressives” bow down to the unions and oppose school choice and paradoxically champion the free flow of illegal aliens for cheap labor thus displacing Black high school drop-outs from these unskilled jobs.

Social justice warriors and White teenagers from well-heeled neighborhoods seem to think there

were no successful Black folks until they decided to rescue us.

My grandfather graduated from a White medical school in 1905.

My mother’s “big sister” became a dentist in the 1940s. I repeat: a Black female dentist in the 1940s.

Oh yes, the social justice warriors lovingly suggest you read self-flagellating books about how every White person is a racist.

Why don’t they ever suggest 1950s tennis trailblazer Althea Gibson’s “I Always Wanted to Be Somebody.” Or “Why Should White Guys have All the Fun” by Reginald Lewis, a poor Black kid who attended college on a scholarship and Harvard Law School, worked his way up in the financial world of leverage buy-outs and in 1987, bought Beatrice International for $985 million.

Predictably, the social justice warriors find an excuse for why some Blacks are able to make something out of their lives and are eager to blame faceless White devils for the failures of Black folks.

Tell this to a regular guy from Twitter: “I’m a 33-year-old Black male, and I have NEVER been oppressed… I can buy a car, I can buy a home, I can obtain a passport, I can WORK. I love this great country and proud to be an American…”

Of course, he was labelled with the obligatory “Uncle Tom” moniker.

Democrats had the presidency, the House and the Senate for two years during Barack Obama’s presidency. It’s curious that there were no mass nationwide protests

under Obama’s watch, even with police-involved deaths.

Did the civil rights advocates think he was actually doing something for Black people? Was he given a pass because he is Black?

Of course, giving Black people a pass is so racist; it implies that Black people are not up to the task.

What is going on now is beyond protesting. It is sick, cultlike behavior. White people kneeling in front of Black people professing their brokenness and begging forgiveness. For what? The immutable trait of their skin color?

What about the descendants of Black slave owners? If you can find them, they should probably be thrashed? I would have not a scintilla of respect for anyone who knelt before me and apologized for being alive.

Let’s stipulate that some people – both Black and White – are actual racists. Tarring all people with the same brush is a dangerous road to travel and risks the loss of goodwill. While protesters say they want a conversation about race, why would anyone converse with a disdainful overlord wannabe who has determined that you are lower than a worm’s belly at the outset? This is a recipe for a race war, not peace.

As a physician, I cannot ignore the plain fact that the people who champion social distancing and mask shaming are silent about the current large gatherings of protesters standing shoulderto-shoulder. It must be one smart virus that can tell the difference between anti-economic lockdown/

let me feed my family protesters and Black Lives Matter protesters.

And why do only some Black lives matter? Nineteen persons were killed in Chicago during the last weekend of May as the Black Lives Matter protests rolled on.

With its Black superintendent of police and Black mayor, from Jan. 1 to June 1, Chicago had 236 homicides, 165 of whom were known to be Black. None were killed by the police. Most were under 30 years old. Where are the national television stories and public vigils? Read their names at https://graphics.suntimes.com/ homicides/ and weep.

Dr. Marilyn M. Singleton is a board-certified anesthesiologist.

She is the immediate past president of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. She graduated from Stanford University and earned her medical degree at University of California San Francisco Medical School.

Singleton completed two years of surgical residency at University of California San Francisco, then her anesthesia residency at Harvard University’s Beth Israel Hospital.

While still working in the operating room, she attended University of California Berkeley Law School, focusing on constitutional law and administrative law. She interned at the National Health Law Project and practiced insurance and health law. She teaches classes in the recognition of elder abuse and constitutional law for non-lawyers. She lives in Oakland.

Young said. “No other entity, including the board of supervisors, can enact policy for the sheriff’s department,” and that’s the problem.

Across the nation, police’s use of force was in question far before the death of George Floyd.

And to keep punting the football on reform will set in motion a tirade of problems for the future.

Accountability should not just be held on the shoulders of Bianco; the weight will crush him and future Riverside County sheriffs that come into the position.

There is a fine line between offering government agencies and departments independence. On one side of the spectrum, we must entrust in our institutions that they will do their job and with integrity.

But on the other side, things fall through the cracks and that hole only gets larger as time goes on, if left gaping.

Law enforcement has a difficult task of managing the safety of the community, but as we can see, they can only go so far in helping it. Carrying big sticks may smack down someone, but when someone is already down mentally and has

been deteriorated by poverty, a big stick is not needed. There needs to be more emphasis on healing the community. That comes with funding provided in other areas outside of the sheriff’s department – or – by implementing social workers and mental health professionals to become a department at the county sheriffs, which would widen their scope of effectiveness and cohesiveness. Such a move, however, can only be achieved if there is a space for open forum.

The problem in American government is that oversight is often fraught with “political appointees who have little prior knowledge of the law enforcement work,” Young said, and to an extent, I agree.

However, people who live in their communities know what it means to feel safe. It does not take years on the police force to spot brutality and malfeasance of the law. Government should be about partnerships and cooperation. Working in silos damages that effort and undermines their ability to connect more deeply with the community they are sworn to protect. We must redefine what “protect” means in order to adapt for an ever changing

and difficult future ahead of us.

Young also argued that the sheriff’s detectives would be a better fit to oversee and investigate deputies use of force. That may be true, but it only applies to malpractice. It does not apply to the broader scope of problems faced by officers who don’t fully understand the situation of an individual, other than the fact that they see a criminal. The bigger problem is that providing safety to a community cannot be held solely on Bianco, and the days of “The Andy Griffith Show,” who solved problems by talking to residents, never existed – literally. It was a TV show, Kevin Jeffries (county board supervisor).

Police today are not equipped to handle the multifaceted problems of the present. We need to make room for professionals that understand people at an emotional and personal level. Troubled circumstances, family life, drug addictions, mental health problems and abusive households need to be monitored by officials with the capacity to help. I am not saying there doesn’t need to be a heavy stick handy; I am saying that sometimes, it can be left behind.

There are people out there who have gone through the ringer and their actions have begun to fall outside the realm of public safety, but they are not all criminals.

The reason why we have a court system that hears testimonies and accounts from both sides is to understand the full story. However, sometimes when people arrive in the courthouse, it is too late for them. What if we could create a system that seeks to heal, instead of simply enforcing the “rule of law.” Mental health and family issues can be solved before a crime is committed, there just needs to be more professionals equipped to do so.

If you had a brother or sister and you grew up with them and saw them for the beautiful human being they were, but suddenly tragedy strikes and changes them forever to a life of crime, depression or addiction – would you want them in a jail cell or on a track to better themselves through well-funded programs that reverses a harmful trend? We have a choice. Let’s make the right one, together.

Troy Chavez Temecula resident

ity, broken families and suicides are all part of the massive societal cost of drug abuse in our state and nation. We can help drug-addicted criminal offenders reenter society as productive citizens by removing them from the cycle of addiction and dependency. In this time of huge budget deficits, we can also reduce the costly burden of recidivism on the state’s correc-

tions system.

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

Letter to the editor Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco and the Riverside Sheriff’s Association’s reluctance to allow oversight is telling and dissuades a healthy dialogue on police reform.

“The fundamental way residents of this great county determine the direction of their agencies, including the office of the sheriff, is at the ballot box,” Bill Young, president of the Riverside Sheriff’s Association, said. “…That is real oversight and accountability.”

What does voting have to do with creating oversight? As far as I can see, there is no vote up for debate or on the November ballot to add a commission or committee to oversee abuses of the law. The only option voters have is to vote out the sheriff and that does not give them “real oversight.” That choice will only exacerbate the problem into a ready-to-pop balloon. There must be a commission established with individuals from the community to enable a healthy dialogue.

“As an independent and elected official, the sheriff has the duty and responsibility to set and enforce policies in their department, including use of force policies,”

Drug treatment equals less crime Assemblymember Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

In California, opioid and heroin use is a major threat to public health and is the leading cause of death for those under 50. It’s a major cause of crime and contributes directly to high recidivism rates in our prison system.

That’s why I’ve introduced Assembly Bill 1304, co-written by state Sen. Tom Umberg, DSanta Ana, which will provide medication-assisted treatment for eligible parolees who volunteer to participate. Medication-assisted treatment is an innovative treatment program that uses medications combined with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders. Findings reported by the National Institute

KPC from page C-5 Health, said. “Mike will provide additional leadership to enhance those areas most affected by the coronavirus pandemic, including emergency room utilization, hospital-based program development, physician recruitment, managed care plan development and IPA opportunities.”

on Drug Abuse clearly show that providing criminal offenders with substance use treatment reduces drug abuse, crime and reincarceration. In addition, by following the prescribed medication-assisted treatment regimen, death rates from opioid overdoses can be cut by more than half.

Under AB 1304, incentives to participate in the program will include reductions in length of parole. Parolees will be screened, and only those deemed eligible will be allowed into the program after they’ve served their prison sentences. A similar program was started in Kentucky in 2016, with proven results that include an overall drop in recidivism, along with reduced illegal drug and alcohol use. California’s costs will be minimal, since the program will be supported through a state

opioid response grant, provided by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration.

The costs associated with drug abuse are incalculable. Crime, homelessness, lost job productiv-

6 things to know about your ears

they’re singing. Can you relate?

Take, for instance, the song “I can see clearly now” by Johnny Nash. Has it ever sounded to you like he’s singing “I can see clearly now, Lorraine is gone,” when the actual lyrics are “I can see clearly now, the rain is gone?” For years I was so sad for Lorraine.

I’m sure you’ll agree that when we hear correctly, it can change everything. Not only the words that are said but how they are said.

Listening to tone, meaning, context and body language makes all the difference in the world. Do you know why? Because it changes the way we think.

Correct hearing is a gateway to our minds and, ultimately, our hearts. In fact, your enemy, the devil, would like nothing better than to pollute your ears with false information.

He wants you to listen to lies so that you will believe them in your mind and, in so doing, turn your heart from following Jesus.

centrate on understanding. Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding. Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures. Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain knowledge of God. For the Lord grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity. He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him,” according to Proverbs 2:1-8.

Your ears help you keep a clear mind.

In 2 Timothy 4:3-5, Paul said, “For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths. But you should keep a clear mind in

every situation.”

Your ears affect your whole life.

“As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete,” according to Luke 6:47-49.

Your ears belong to God. God invented your ears so that you would listen to him.

Your ears are the starting point of your faith.

Your ears listen for God’s voice.

Roger Cohen SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

In the weekly Jewish Torah portion Masei, Numbers 33:1-36:13 has a discussion that shows God’s benevolence and forgiveness.

I have often asked myself if I would have the moral courage to forgive someone who has hurt a child of mine. I hear stories of par-

ents who forgive people who kill, rape and murder their children, and they offer forgiveness as a step in the grief processing.

In one of the classes I teach at a local university, I ask these moral and ethical questions to the classes I lecture. Do you have a moral obligation to forgive someone who has done violence, or can you seek justice against people who wrong you? This concept is historically known as “lex talionis” or “eye for an eye.”

In Number 35:11, God said, “You shall provide yourselves with places to serve you as cities of refuge to which a manslayer who has killed a person unintentionally may flee.”

This chapter in the Torah gives

a person who has wronged another person unintentionally a physical place to be exempt from the wrath of the person seeking justice. In verse 16 and in other places, there are exclusions from this amnesty for when a person kills another person with intent.

The God of all creation instructed the Israelites to have six physical places where a person who commits an unintentional crime could go and not have retribution from the family of the victim. These are known as “cities of refuge.” A person who committed an unintentional wrong could flee to these cities and not be held liable. This level of compassion and grace should be modeled in all our actions each and every day.

It takes me back to my original fear: if someone had injured my child, could I forgive them?

If the God of heaven and earth thought that mercy and grace are sufficient for people who commit unintentional crimes, we all should feel the same way.

Sunburn ointments, cool baths or compresses may help relieve the discomfort. Drinking plenty of water also helps the body recover.

Heat cramps are another overheating illness and usually related to dehydration. Symptoms include increased sweating and painful muscle spasms and cramps of the arms, legs, hands, back and sometimes the abdomen. Treatment involves removing the person from the heat, offering lots of water and gently massaging the tightening muscles to relieve the cramping.

Heat exhaustion is the inability to sweat enough to cool the body efficiently. Extreme fatigue, weakness, dizziness, nausea or vomiting and cold, clammy, pale, red or flushed skin indicates heat exhaustion. It is important to get the person into a cool location immediately, loosen clothing and apply cold compresses. A doctor may need to be consulted if any vomiting continues as the person is cooled.

Heatstroke is the most dangerous heat-related event and can result in death. It happens when the body is so stressed that it stops sweating, yet its temperature continues to rise. Hallucinations, headache, nausea, vomiting, confusion and eventually delirium or unconsciousness can occur. The skin will be hot, dry, red or flushed.

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

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

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

- Reduce physical activity outside during the hottest times.

- Avoid eating hot, heavy meals that include lots of protein. These foods increase metabolism and the

body’s water consumption, which raises body temperature.

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

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

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

- Use sunscreen every two hours when spending time in the sun.

Sunscreens can weaken with age, so be sure to make sure the product has not expired.

AEC/FIND Mobile Pantry continues to feed demand in Anza

Volunteers load prepackaged food boxes into waiting autos at the mobile food pantry drive-thru event hosted by Anza Electric Cooperative and Food In Need of Distribution Inc. Food Bank Saturday, July 11.

Anza Electric Cooperative employees, Food In Need of Distribution, Inc. Food Bank personnel and volunteers continue distributed fresh and nutritious food to Anza residents at the monthly Mobile Community Food Pantry program. The July event was held Saturday, July 11, from 7:30-9:30 a.m. at the AEC facilities in Anza.

The program, organized by FIND Food Bank and AEC, enlisted volunteers from several local organizations, as well as their own employees. Everyone employed face masks and social distancing etiquette during the distribution event.

Volunteers gave out boxes of fresh cauliflower, melons, potatoes, apples, celery and lettuce.

Cans of spaghetti sauce, pasta, mixed fruit, peanut butter, canned beans and Cup A Soup packets were also provided to each participant at no cost.

California National Guard soldiers directed cars to the distribution point where the food boxes were passed through car windows

and placed into back seats, trunks and the beds of pickup trucks.

Participants were asked to remain in their vehicles and wear a mask while attending the event. The long line of cars snaked through the parking lot to the food distribution point on the east side of the AEC offices.

The National Guard has been deployed statewide to provide critical support to food banks as they disperse much needed supplies to people affected by the pandemic.

In 2019, the AEC board of directors approved a donation for the mobile pantry that was matched by CoBank’s – one of the cooperative’s lenders – Sharing Success matching grant program.

The remaining funds were donated by the High Country Conservancy.

The combined funds made it possible for the mobile pantry to distribute food to economically challenged Anza residents.

Food In Need of Distribution Inc., or FIND Food Bank, is the only regional food bank serving eastern Riverside and southern San Bernardino counties. They distribute over 10 million pounds

of food assistance annually to an average of 85,000 individuals each month, doing so through a network of 100-plus communitybased partners whose programs include food pantries, soup kitchens, after-school and summer care, senior centers, faith-based organizations and homeless shelters.

FIND Food Bank is a member of Feeding America and the California Association of Food Banks.

The organization and its members continue to work to ensure that the most vulnerable communities have consistent and safe access to nutritious food. They put solutions in place that will mitigate potential disruptions to their programs and services during the COVID-19 pandemic national emergency.

Anza Local Red Cross urges preparedness this wildfire season Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

With the fire season underway, the American Red Cross is urging those in California to be prepared.

“A wildfire can come without warning and spread quickly, leaving you little time to get to safety.

Now is the time to prepare, especially with COVID-19 affecting our community,” Joselito GarciaRuiz, regional disaster program officer for the Red Cross Los Angeles Region, said. “Talk with your family about wildfires, how to prevent them and what to do if one occurs. Put together a family disaster kit. Make a plan and practice it.”

Families should be prepared for any major disaster with enough food, water and emergency supplies to last up to two weeks until help can arrive, the American Red Cross said.

PrepareSoCal, an American Red Cross multi-region campaign designed to address the needs of individuals and families to prepare for disasters, small and large, by providing tips, tools and training, encourages residents to implement three basic steps when preparing for an emergency.

Get a kit.

Build an easy-to-carry emergency preparedness kit that you can use at home or take with you if you must evacuate. Include items such as water, nonperishable food, a flashlight and extra batteries, a battery-powered radio, first-aid kit and medications. Be sure to also include a cloth face covering for

everyone in your household who can wear one safely.

Make a plan.

Talk with members of your household about what to do during emergencies. Plan what to do in case everyone is separated and choose two places to meet – one right outside your home in case of a sudden emergency and another outside your neighborhood, in case you cannot return home or are asked to evacuate. Be sure to share that plan with others.

Be informed.

Know what kinds of emergency situations may occur where you live, where you work and where you go to school. Because of COVID-19, stay current on advice and restrictions from your state and local public health authorities as it may affect your actions and available resources and facilities.

Remember that a wildfire can spread quickly, leaving those in its path little time to get to safety.

The American Red Cross said that residents near a fire should always be prepared to evacuate at a moment’s notice and obey all evacuation orders from officials.

Other tips include backing the car into the garage or parking it outside facing the direction of the evacuation route, confining pets to a single room so they can be found quickly should the need to evacuate arise and limit exposure to smoke and dust by keeping windows and doors closed.

When trapped outdoors during a fire crouch in a pond, river or pool. If there is no body of water, those trapped in a fire should look

for shelter in a clear area or in a bed of rocks. Those trapped should lay flat, face down and cover their bodies with soil. Breathe the air close to the ground to avoid scorching lungs or inhaling smoke.

The Red Cross also said not to put wet clothing or bandanas over your mouth or nose as moist air can cause more damage to the airway than dry air at the same temperature.

Never return home until officials say it is safe to do so.

Upon returning home, inspect

the roof immediately and extinguish any sparks or embers. Wildfires may have left embers that could reignite and check the home for embers that could cause fires.

Look for signs of a fire including smoke or sparks.

Other safety tips include avoiding downed powerlines, poles and wires, keeping animals on the leash so the owners have direct control over them to avoid any hot spots or hidden embers that could burn them. Also, wet down any debris to minimize breathing

in dust particles. Be sure to wear leather gloves and shoes with heavy soles when entering an area that has been burned and throw out any food that has been exposed to heat, smoke or soot.

Participants listen attentively as Stacy Kuhns talks about trail manners at the Leave No Trace and Trail Etiquette Workshop presented by And The Horse You Rode In On social club at the Lake Riverside Estates Community Center.

WORKSHOP from page AVO-1 Kuhns encouraged give and take and hard-hitting questions.

“We discussed why we go into the outdoors and what things can impact our experience. It was exciting that we had a young man that attended that will be hiking Mount Whitley next month and he said the workshop was very valuable to him,” Kuhns said.

She also demonstrated an overview on the elements of a bad camp. Participants wrote down all the things that they saw were wrong with the camp which was shown set up under some pine trees near a lake.

Other ATHYRIO members organized a Dutch oven cooking

demonstration.

“We had five families participate that have cooked with Dutch ovens in the past and one new family we helped walk through the process,” Kuhns said. “We provided a handout on how to get started and all the recipes that were cooked in the afternoon.

We had two more families stop by and learn how to do this lost art. It was very exciting to hang out, tell stories and enjoy some great dishes. We had five entrees and three desserts. All our group worked really hard to put this together.”

Attendees left glowing reviews as they left with full bellies, additional knowledge and having made some new friends.

“Stacy provided an educational experience for the youth of Lake Riverside Estates,” parent Gail Price, whose two sons attended the workshop, said. “My son Christopher, age 15, is hiking Mount Whitney in August with his grandfather Ronald Johnson and this workshop taught him so much, I feel he is better prepared for that journey.”

ATHYRIO is open to all horseowners past, present and future.

Vast majority of Whites are not racist

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

Most Americans and virtually all Christians were taught not to mistreat others, that God is the father of all and that people demonstrate their love for God by how they treat and serve others. The vast majority of Whites, including police, are not unkind to Blacks and are not racist. So don’t say that all Whites, and only Whites, have some kind of systemic racism because of the color of their skin.

That belief is very racist and a lie.

I, like most Americans, have never participated in any activity harmful to Blacks. In fact, most Americans have ancestors who fought in the Civil War to help rid this nation of slavery – 360,222 northerners dying for that cause.

And it was largely Whites that

gave America their first Black president. If Whites were systemic racists that would have never happened. In America, race baiting to perpetuate racism is a vastly bigger problem than actual racism.

So Antifa, Black Lives Matter and other groups, media outlets included, looking to incite Blacks to riot and blame all Whites, cease the fake narrative. Today Blacks have the same rights as any other race, no less, nor more. If Whites are systemically racist then former President Barack Obama’s White mother would be racist, and Obama himself, who is half White, thus half racist. Nonsense.

Americans who have never contributed to racism should have no White guilt. But, for the sake of argument, let’s assume that my ancestors were slave owners and/ or racists. Should I then have guilt or owe reparations? Certainly not to the living, and the dead are dead.

To whom then, to their posterity generations later? Of course not. How would it be quantified?

Most Blacks have mixed ancestry, and many don’t have slavery in their history – like Obama in both respects. Racism that existed in the past must be left in the past.

A just God will judge between the offender and the offended. Otherwise the offense that is given new life passes to the next generation.

In America, nobody has been born a slave since 1865; no one now living is responsible. So if

people force me to pay reparations for harm done to an ancestor generations ago, why should I not expect the same to be paid from their posterity to me for damages done in carrying the weight of this guilt? And thus, it passes to the third, fourth or 10th generation as each alternately is offended by the other over injustices that can never be resolved without continual offense. Somebody has to let it go, whether they ever forgive or not.

For many years, I taught this philosophy as the only remedy possible to end the offense of slavery with only one dissenter; a male Black student from an inner city back east who had so much hatred for alleged White behavior from long ago that he almost could not express himself. I asked him if he had been personally offended.

He could not identify a single personal offense but still hated.

The thought of letting it go and not hating people because of it, he could not breach. The generational hatred was just too strong.

Critics may argue, “Whites have never felt racism as we have. It is easy for them. They have never been beat up for their skin color.”

Perhaps, but some Whites do know what it is like to be unmercifully beat up for no other reason than the color of their skin.

Forty-four years ago, I knew a White California college professor that experienced it. While grading final exam papers at the end of his

first semester in California, he was subjected to loud and offensive language just outside his office which bordered an open quad. It looked as if two fights were going on outside and, since he was the nearest authority on campus, he asked them to stop. When they didn’t, he reached down to pull one of the combatants off another. The young man was the Black leader of a gang with more than a dozen fellow Mexican gang members.

They all attacked him. The two Whites being beaten took the moment to run.

The professor had never seen any of these assailants before.

One gang member stood in front of him kicking his head unmercifully with full force every time he lifted it, his friends hit and kicked the professor from every direction.

His mind, very blurred from the blows, silently uttered to God his dangerous situation.

“I will shortly be with thee, if you do not intervene in my behalf,” he said.

Almost immediately another White male faculty member entered the quad. The gang immediately attacked him also, allowing the professor to get to his feet.

They encircled both professors, pulled off their belts with large belt buckles, for which this gang was known, and whipped them from all sides. In time, the professors were able to ease over to the door of the building and slip inside to safety.

Police later arrived, and mauled as he was, the professor was escorted to a police car with the restrained Black gang leader inside. As he approached, the gang member snarled oaths of hatred and threats to kill him if identified.

The gang leader was incarcerated for six months for the assault, and soon after serving his time and being release, he killed a child and was reincarcerated, ending the immediate threat to the professor.

Eventually the professor moved away and never heard from or of the assailant again. Fear does not dissipate easily. He carried a can of pepper spray with him for many years. No one was going to beat him like that again.

The professor was me.

Have I forgotten this injustice to me? No, nor do I blame all Blacks and/or Mexicans for the scum of a few. Nor did I teach my children to hate others. But isn’t that what race baiters want Blacks to do to Whites?
