The Temecula City Council agreed to modify its Old Town Front Street closure plan Tuesday, July 14, and open up the main roadway to traffic while still allowing businesses to move their operations into street parking areas.

Old Town Front Street can be reopened to vehicular traffic “in a matter of days,” Luke Watson, director of Temecula Community Services, told the city council, though he said he couldn’t give a specific date when the road may be reopened because it was difficult to estimate how long it would take to see CLOSURE, page A-7

Temecula City Council gives go-ahead on potential diversity commission, other steps to address race, equity Will Fritz ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The Temecula City Council gave approval to city staff Tuesday, July 14, to move forward with multiple proposals relating to discussions around race and equity that have erupted in the nearly two months since the death of George Floyd.

Some of the proposals include creating a new city commission on diversity, starting regular dialogue between the city manager’s office and the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department on community policing and other topics in the city of Temecula and adding an “equity value” to the existing six values in the city’s Quality of Life Master Plan.

“This item tonight is a result of the city council’s discussion and request that took place at the city council meeting on June 9,” Aaron Adams, Temecula city manager, said. “Since the horrific death of George Floyd on May 25, our country, our state, Riverside County and the city of Temecula have been stirred by organized peaceful protests and challenging conversations about systemic racism and equality, all of this under a national conversation calling for change.”

The proposals were created as a result of hours of conversations between council members and city staff, council member Mike Naggar said, and were organized based on the core principles of the “Race, Equity and Leadership” program developed by the National League of Cities, which counts the city of Temecula among its members.

The three principles of the REAL program, which serve to divide the city’s proposals into three steps, are “Normalize Conversations,” “Operationalize Actions” and “Organize Sustainable Effort.”

“Tonight represents our first opportunity to allow the city council to engage in a meaningful dialogue, expand upon your previously shared ideas and provide direction to myself and the team on actionable items you want to see going forward,” Adams said.

For the first step, “Normalize Conversations,” the city council gave its blessing to Adams and city staff to contract with professional firms to receive internal training on diversity and equity, as well as on media relations for staff and council members.

The council also asked that city staff notify each individual council member of invitations to any community meetings and events that may be organized, in an effort to pay attention to community concerns about race and other issues.

council members clarified that they may not be able to attend each and every event.

“I don’t want any person who throws an event or decides to throw a community meeting or a talk session or what have you to feel disenfranchised if one or more council members don’t show up,” Naggar said. “Many people do not know that in essence we all hold full time jobs, that being on the city council is – well it’s a paid position, but if you add up the hours, we probably pay to be on the city council. So a lot of it has to be meshed with our work obligations and other obligations that we do.

“I’d like to attend everything, but that’s not possible and I think that goes for all of us,” he said.

For the second step, “Operationalize Actions,” Randi Johl, Temecula city clerk, told the council that many of the items before them would come back for approval at council meetings in the near future, but city staff was seeking consensus on how to move forward with planning each of them.

The first item in the second step was the formation of a board or commission with a focus on issues of race and equity. The council agreed that body should be a permanent commission on the same level as entities like the city’s planning commission.

Temecula council member Matt Rahn, addressing some views expressed in public comments, said he wanted to make clear that the goal of the commission would be to represent the entire community, and that it was not the council’s commission.

“We’re not appointing a commission for us. We’re appointing a commission to represent the community, the city of Temecula and foster a community wide dialogue,” Rahn said.

He said that he was unsure that a five-member commission in the style of existing city commissions would be a fair way to set up a body that focuses on diversity.

“I’ll tell you right now, I think a five-member commission is not representative of the diversity of perspectives,” Rahn said.

Johl told the city council that as staff continues to work out how a diversity commission might be created, they will pull from the strategies other cities have used in the past.

“As much as we would like to think we are on the leading edge of this, we are not,” Johl said. “There are plenty of other cities out there that do have diversity and equity related positions.”

She said staff also expected to hear input from city residents who may have their own ideas.

“Additionally, our community that spoke tonight will also have ideas and suggestions,” Johl said.

“And remember that every single one of our commissions is a Brown Act meeting. Every single meeting must be public..”

As with all city commissions, the eventual members of the diversity commission will be selected through an application process, the council made clear.

Other actions to be taken in Step 2 of the REAL program include ongoing communication with the community in the form of two-way dialogue through gatherings like coffee with council members and meetings with homeowners associations; continued communication with law enforcement; contracting with a professional firm to facilitate conversations on race and equity in the community; the development of a city council protocol manual and a review of citywide policies and programs like holiday recognitions, board and commission recruitments and community service “to determine opportunities for additional diversity and inclusion of the underrepresented and minority population of the community.”

In the final step, “Organize Sustainable Effort,” the council gave approval to staff to add an equity value that would “outwardly demonstrate the city’s commitment to overall equity for residents of all racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds” to the six existing values on the Quality of Life Master Plan, as well as create a refreshed budget process with the ability for additional public engagement to consider spending priorities on housing, public transportation and services based on the needs of underrepresented and minority populations.

According to city staff’s report on the items brought before the council, they are “not meant to be an exhaustive list of solutions to the challenge before us, but rather a starting point for discussion and consensus.”

“As additional ideas and opportunities are brought forward, they too will be brought to council for consideration and consensus,” according to the staff report. “Temecula has a solid foundation upon which it was built as a city and community, and these efforts will only further strengthen its collective resolve to represent all of its residents.”

A question about the type of funding for a new fire engine needed for the Hemet City Fire Department almost put its purchase in limbo by members of the city council Tuesday, July 14, at its regular meeting.

The purchase of the new fire engine from the KME company for $738,824 that will replace another engine which is completely out of service was initially approved by the council, March 10. The council opted to fund the purchase through the Measure U available fund balance.

In a related request April 14, the council also approved the first portion purchase of the Microwave system, a radio system replacement, which was also to be funded by Measure U available fund balance.

A question arose later about how the fire engine, which is to replace the out-of-service Engine 1, would be funded, and a request was made to find out what the interest rates from the Local Agency Investment Fund and how much it would cost if the city decided not to purchase the engine and equipment since the city was already strapped by COVID-19 revenue losses.

The council learned that if the city chose to cancel the fire engine purchase from KME, it would cost $30,000 in cancellation penalties.

As such the city decided canceling the order was not an option and

began to consider three options for its loan financing, each with different interest rates.

They choose the second option, using the LAIF Quarter-to-Date interest earning rate of 1.43%, which will cost $31,995.54 for the engine in interest payments for the engine and $83,725.01 in interest payments for the radio system loan. The vote was not unanimous with two council members voting no, even though the council members did agree that a new engine was needed to begin replacing the department’s aging five engine inventory.

Hemet fire Chief Scott Brown, who pleaded for the council’s help, said it would take up to a year for the new engine to be delivered, and in the meantime, he has moved the remaining engines to where they are needed most. Station 5, which only reopened this year, lost its engine to the change, but a paramedic squad remains at the station on Hemet Street and Florida Avenue where it is most needed. Council member Karlee Meyer, who serves that district, objected to the change.

In other action, the council tabled a recommendation establishing an investment policy and rescinding Resolution 4852 until more updated information becomes available on the city’s current investments.

The city council approved the updates and changes from the 2019 California Fire Code that includes a requirement that all business

buildings have a highly visible street address on their storefronts and business facilities.

The council ratified a temporary use of parking lot spaces associated with restaurants to be used for the placement of table and chairs for outdoor dining, under the authority provided in the municipal code in emergency situations and waive the permits and city fees to allow restaurants to temporarily operate outside seating and service for customers in portions of their parking lots in compliance with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s guidelines and orders.

No changes were made to the COVID-19 Emergency Declarations update. The state is threatening to cut off the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act funding to the city, if they do not comply with the state’s orders.

They also approved with a 4-1 vote, with Meyer voting “no,” participation under the Riverside County Entitlement Local Government Designation for the Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program, which will designate about $1 million to Hemet, through the California Department of Housing and Community Development for the years 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Meyer said the city should know more about how the county will delegate the funding.

Local Wildomar begins taking applications for cannabis businesses Jeff Pack STAFF WRITER

According to Matthew Bassi, director of city planning for Wildomar, the city has received five applications for retail cannabis businesses since the city opened the application process, July 10.

“All five of these applicants are doing retail cannabis sales,” Bassi said. “They’re located in commercial zones. Three of them are within existing retail centers and two of them are on vacant lots that are zoned commercial. No cultivation or manufacturing requests. In fact, of all the phone calls I’ve had, I would say less than 1% have been for cultivation questions.”

So far, as Bassi said above, there has been little interest in cultivation or manufacturing operations.

“There are businesses out there that do just that, just like the retail folks, but we have a lot less available industrial zone land for cultivation,” he said. “That may in and of itself slow down potential applicants coming in.”

On Wednesday, June 10, the Wildomar City Council adopted a city ordinance finalizing a resolution that would permit commercial cannabis retailers within certain commercial and retail zones in the city.

The 3-2 decision, which included “yes” votes from Mayor Dustin Nigg and council members Joseph Morabito and Ben Benoit and “no” votes from Mayor Pro Tem Bridgett Moore and council member Marsha Swanson, effectively put an end to a process that started back in 2019.

A dozen residents on both sides of the issue called into the Zoom meeting to express their opinions on the subjects with the majority on the calls in opposition.

As presented by Bassi during the council’s May 28 special meeting, the amendment restricts cannabis businesses to be limited to locations within the city’s two commercial zones and placed restrictions on where the businesses

could be located, not within 600 feet of public or private schools, commercial day care centers, youth centers or parks. The council added to the amendment that the businesses could not be located within 150-feet of a residential unit.

Cannabis businesses will also be subjected to unannounced inspections.

The council also approved the fees for local license applications which is $20,000, another $20,000 for a conditional use permit deposit and a developmental agreement deposit of $12,000.

After the license is approved, a regulatory, non-refundable fee of more than $70,000 is due. After two years, an initial deposit fee of $10,000 is required.

Due to the council’s action Wednesday, the city could begin taking applications. Commercial cannabis retailers will be permitted in the C-1/C-P and C-P-S commercial zones subject to the approval of a conditional use permit and development agreement by the city’s planning commission and city council.

Cannabis cultivation, manufacturing, distribution and testing laboratories will be permitted in I-P and M-SC industrial zones also subject to approval.

The amendment also prohibits cannabis consumption and alcohol or tobacco sales on the premises. It also places security requirements on the businesses, including the mandatory notification of law enforcement in the instance of suspected theft.

Cannabis-related businesses may also only do business with other cannabis businesses.

Though there are five applicants, the process to approval for any of the five will take some time.

Residents shouldn’t expect to see cannabis retailers in the very near future in the city, Bassi said.

“Step 1 is getting the approval of a local license that could take 30 to 60 days depending on how complete the package is that they

submitted,” Bassi said. “We’re going to spend the next 30 days reviewing this. Then if we have changes or edits, we will put together a letter and send it to them and they’ll have to make a resubmittal, which gives us another 30 days to see if they’ve addressed our comments. If everything’s fine, then we’ll issue an approval letter with a bunch of conditions. And then most of them will then move into the conditional use permit and development agreement phase.

And that can take anywhere from three to six months to get to a public hearing with the planning commission and city council.”

Once the business clears that hurdle, the real physical work begins.

“If it gets into the public hearing phase and the council is the ultimate decider, if they approve these things, then the applicant has to go through the tenant improvement plan check review process,” Bassi said. “To build out the suite step they’re leasing

you have to get building permits for that. That could take another three, four months, depending on the contractor. Once they get the plans approved, then they got to start doing the actual construction improvements.”

Bassi said the city didn’t put a limit on the number of businesses they will allow dealing in cannabis, even though there was a number, 10, that was discussed in meetings.

“We don’t have a limit. We’re going to let the market dictate it; that was council’s desire,” Bassi said. “That number, 10, was only used to cut for the regulatory fees and all that stuff.”

Bassi said that the city isn’t actively going out and recruiting cannabis-based businesses to apply.

“We’re not necessarily ‘getting the word out,’” he said. “Those people interested in this business have been following us for a year and they knew we had hearings.

They knew the effective date was

last Friday, and they knew that this was the week that they could submit stuff. We do have a webpage dedicated to cannabis where you can download all kinds of documents, the ordinances, brochures, the application forms. We’ve got information about the process flow charts on that webpage. So that’s been helpful.

“I think we did send out an email blast to our state connected folks shortly after the second reading, just letting folks know that council approved it and applications will be taken starting July 10. We’re not calling people to say, ‘Hey, come in.’ The market will take care of that,” Bassi said.

What does ‘defund the police’ mean?

Will Fritz ASSOCIATE EDITOR

In the past two months, “defund the police” has surged into the public consciousness as a rallying cry for Black Lives Matter protesters.

It is a divisive phrase, and to some, it is a misleading one.

Critics see it as a call to completely dismantle law enforcement, and not without reason – even Democrats who support calls to “defund the police” have suggested that the phrase is misleading.

“I don’t believe that you should disband police departments,” Congressional Black Caucus chairwoman Rep. Karen Bass told Jake Tapper on CNN. “We need to look at how we are spending the resources and invest more in our communities.”

Minneapolis, Minnesota, is the epicenter of both the George Floyd protests and calls for rethinking

police funding.

On May 25, Floyd died after a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes. As protests over his death swept through Minneapolis and around the country, a supermajority of the Minneapolis City Council committed to “dismantle” the Minneapolis Police Department, saying they felt it could not be reformed, though when they made that commitment in early June, they could not say what their plans for a public safety framework were.

By June 26, the Minneapolis City Council had a concrete amendment to the city charter to vote on, which it passed unanimously.

Draft language of the amendment shows the current plan calls for the city to replace the Minneapolis Police Department with a “Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention,” which “will

have responsibility for public safety services prioritizing a holistic, public health-oriented approach.”

According to the amendment, the proposed department would have a division of licensed peace officers, but they would answer to a chief who would have “non-lawenforcement experience in community safety services, including but not limited to public health and/ or restorative justice approaches.”

The council’s approval of that amendment was just the first step in a long process to actually change the city charter – it ultimately will have to be approved by a majority of voters on the November ballot.

Before even that can happen, it has to be approved by the city’s Charter Commission. And the chairman of that commission said he felt the council had rushed the process, as reported by Time magazine.

“As I understand it, they are

saying, ‘We are going to have this new department. We don’t know what it’s going to look like yet. We won’t implement this for a year; we’ll figure it out,’” Clegg said, per Time. “For myself anyway, I would prefer that we figured it out first, and then voted on it.”

While versions of the proposal in Minneapolis have spread across the country, it is still not a universal position across the left, and in fact many Democratic politicians have long been supporters of giving more money to police forces.

In Washington, Mayor Muriel Bowser, who had “Black Lives Matter” painted on 16th Street NW near the White House, has proposed a 3% increase to the city’s police budget. Last month, she told NPR that she was “not at all” reconsidering that increase.

“What our budget proposal, and I can’t speak for other departments, but they fund the people that we

need,” she told the nationwide public radio network. “And certainly we wouldn’t want the people on our forces not to have the proper training or equipment that makes for better community policing.”

And in Minneapolis, Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey passed a budget last year that allowed the Minneapolis Police Department to increase its cadet class trainees by one-third this year, the Minneapolis Post reported. Even now, with the Minneapolis City Council’s unanimous vote to dismantle the city’s police force, Frey has refused to commit to such a plan – something protesters jeered at him for in June.

Of course, whatever their current positions may be, there is increasing pressure on pro-police Democrats to think more critically on the subject.

RALLY from page A-1 beverages for sale.

At the forefront of the conversation Saturday was the recall efforts to remove California Gov. Gavin Newsom who has ordered the closure of varying types of businesses at several points during the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic.

On July 13, Newsom ordered a new round of closures, effectively ceasing indoor operations at gyms, hair salons, houses of worship, personal-care services, malls and non-critical office settings.

The event featured a full lineup of speakers, including Opp, California state Sen. Melissa Melendez, the Rev Tim Thompson of 412 Church Murrieta and radio show host Joe Messina.

“They’re telling us that we can’t gather together and worship God in one place that we can’t assemble together,” Thompson said. “Even though God says not to neglect the

assembling of ourselves together.

And I say shame on any pastor that would close his doors and not allow people into worship.”

“And it is the globalists right now that are trying to destroy that. And when I say globalist, I’m talking about people like Gavin Newsom,” Thompson said.

Melendez also took aim at Newsom.

“Are you sick and tired of being treated like royal subjects by Gavin Newsom?” she asked the crowd. “As Americans and as Californians, we have rights. I know Gov. Newsom doesn’t like to think about that, but we have rights – rights that cannot be denied.

“Sorry, I’m angry, man. I’ve had it. I have had it,” she said.

Melendez read through California Constitution, starting with the Preamble and addressing portions that she said were under attack. “‘We, the people of the state of California, grateful to Almighty God for our freedom in order to secure and perpetuate its blessings, do establish this constitution,’” Melendez said. “That is our state constitution preamble. I think maybe I should make a copy of that and lay it on the governor’s desk to remind him.”

Next, she read Section II. “The state constitution guarantees those rights, but you wouldn’t know it by living in this state, would you?” Melendez said. “We have had over a dozen lawsuits filed against this governor – over a dozen. Every single one of them was dismissed in court. Every single one of them. We’ve introduced bills to revoke the governor’s emergency power. End the state of emergency, which takes his powers away, to put essentially laws into place, which is what he has been doing. (Do) you know what happened with those? The majority party, the Democrat party, won’t allow them to be heard.”

Melendez said she’s had enough.

“The very person who pays absolutely no personal price for the decisions he’s making for all of California is the one making decisions for everyone in California,” she said. “So, instead we’re supposed to wait patiently, like children being scolded and just wait for him to tell us when we can have our freedom back. I don’t think so.

“I’m out of patience. Are you?

I think we need to remind King Newsom of exactly what type of government we have. It is the government of by and for the people.

We need to remind him that the government derives its power from the consent of the governed.

I don’t give my consent anymore to be governed in this way. Do

you?” she said.

Melendez was welcomed to the stage by Opp who explained why he planned the rally. He said he had abided by the state closures and kept his restaurant closed. When he was allowed to reopen, the new closures shut him down again.

“Not only did we suffer for three months, wanting to get open and start going back to the economy again,” he said. “Now (Newsom) just took another big chunk of money from them. That’s when I said, ‘Enough’s enough.’”

Opp said he was talking to a friend when the idea of a protest came up.

“The one thing I learned from the three months of sitting at home, not being able to work, is that if you protest you pretty much can do anything you want,” he said.

“You don’t have to wear a mask.

You can run the streets. You can stop the freeways. You can bash in windows. You can turn over cars. You can burn things if you’re protesting (expletive).

“Well, apparently he went and he put my words into paper and put it on Facebook. Then I had it sent to me and I go, ‘I guess I’m going to put on a protest. That’s how it started,’” Opp said.

Opp thanked the crowd for showing up and said the rally was a part of something bigger.

“My vision was to have one focal point where we can get the message out,” he said. “We get the word out to all of us, small familyowned businesses: Don’t shut your doors. Hang on as long as you can.

We’re putting together a support team for you. If things are getting hard, you need to contact us. We need to know. We need to be able to come over there and support you. If they start coming down on you, like they’re going to do me … I know they are, it’s already happening. We needed a voice, a voice big enough to scare that family that thinks that they run the state of California.”

Opp was encouraged by the turnout Saturday, he said.

“This is our country,” he said.

“This is not the politicians’ country. We elected them. They work for us. If we don’t like what they’re

doing, then we say something and we correct it. In the sincereness from my heart, this really touches me. It touches me because you guys are Americans that actually care about what’s going on.”

New York Myke of San Diego Harley-Davidson also spoke to the crowd.

“We are losing 22 service members and veterans every day to suicide,” he said. “What does that tell you? It tells you there’s something sick about America. When they came back from World War II (like) my dad did, you didn’t see them committing suicide. They just saved the world. And when we came back from Vietnam, we got spit on. We got cursed and called baby killers and different names; we didn’t commit suicide. Why are they committing suicide today? There’s something wrong in America. And what it is, is growing creeping fascism, and that’s who we’re fighting against.”

California gubernatorial candidate Major Williams was also introduced to the crowd.

“You ask me why I’m running for governor of California is because I’m frustrated, just like you,” Williams said. “I’m a parent, just like you. I see the disparities going on in our community. I see our rights being taken away from us. It’s time for us to stand up, use our voices and we need a champion to be able to do that. Can I get an amen? I’m in my audience, right? We love God, right? We love our guns, right? And we love our freedom. That’s why I’m running to become the next governor of California.

“I just wanted to come here and say, I support this movement. I support California. I support our communities. It’s time to get behind everyone in your community and get people registered to vote.

That’s so important. We have to battle our hardest. We have to fight how they fight. We have to get clever. We have to be vicious.

We have to be vigilant. We have to be a hardcore, California,” he said.

Local San Jacinto to continue partnership with Riverside County for affordable housing

San Jacinto city manager says it’s business as usual with no staff furloughs

Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The San Jacinto City Council in a special meeting Thursday, July 16, approved a resolution authorizing the city’s participation in Riverside Urban County Programs to obtain funding for those residents seeking affordable housing assistance for the next three years.

The city now can continue its partnership with Riverside County through a cooperative agreement. The agreement allows the city to receive funding through the county’s Community Development Block Grant, Home Investment Partnership and Emergency Solutions Grant.

San Jacinto has collaborated with the county since 2006 and received the following CDBG allocations: for fiscal year 2018-2020, $780,000; for fiscal year 2016-2017, $560,309; for fiscal year 20122015, $609,537; for fiscal year 2009-2011, $500,000; and for fiscal year 2006-2009, $684,484.

Past funding has been used to address

inadequate curb, gutter, sidewalk and street rehabilitation in lower income areas of the city.

The funding also provided for targeted code enforcement, and most recently, it funded the Public Library Parking lot project, which is underway, according to city officials.

Staff explained that during the three-year period beginning July 1, 2021, and ending June 30, 2024, the county will continue to be responsible for preparing and submitting to HUD all reports and statements required to secure grant funding and meet application requirements. In exchange, the city will not be allowed to withdraw from the county’s urban program during the three-year agreement. Any unincorporated portion of the county that incorporates or is annexed during the qualification period will remain a part of the urban county through the end of the period. Finally, the city is ineligible to apply for grants under HUD’s Small Cities.

Street sweeping to resume in San Jacinto

County approves law enforcement services contract with SJUSD Joe Naiman WRITER

Riverside County will be providing two sheriff’s deputies to the San Jacinto Unified School District.

A 5-0 Riverside County Board of Supervisors vote, July 7, approved a five-year law enforcement services agreement between the county and the school district.

The agreement became effective July 1 and will expire June 30, 2025.

The sheriff’s deputies will have a presence at all SJUSD schools.

Their duties will include patrol and maintenance of order on school campuses, investigation of crimes,

Rob Johnson, city manager of San Jacinto, announced in his July report that the city has not had to furlough any staff members due to budget restraints and that city business continues online.

He said no furloughs were necessary even with the loss of approximately $930,000 due to the downturn in sales tax revenues and state cutting back on city and county funding because of the coronavirus pandemic. He said the city council did approve the fiscal year 2020-2021 budget of $1.9 million over anticipated revenues.

He reported that Tom Prill, deputy city manager, has applied for funding from the state’s Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act that will provide the city with $12 per person in cities across the state.

It computes to $612,336 in eligible funding for the city in the future but it cannot be used to make up the city’s lost revenue to date.

He said development continues in the city to progress with five active residential construction projects and four retail devel-

opment projects underway.

“City businesses have been hit hard.

Most of the mom and pop shops are struggling mightily and each new order by the governor chips away at the ability to continue to operate. I remain optimistic on an economic rebound, but San Jacinto will lose some businesses along the way, which is unfortunate,” Johnson said. “Since the city does not rely on tourism and entertainment industries – the hope is that it will rebound a bit quicker.”

He reported the city does have a structural deficit looming and the city council approved moving forward with a 1% sales tax measure for November.

The city is currently undertaking polling for the viability of this effort and should have results of that polling in the next week or so.

The city council meeting this week plans to have a workshop presenting the city’s 10-year financial model and a discussion of a budget adjustment for increasing public safety personnel.

class presentations about law enforcement activities, counseling of students and parents and acting as liaisons at school sites. The liaison activities will also include interaction with other law enforcement officers, attendance review board members and probation department personnel.

The amount the school district will pay for the law enforcement services will be based on hourly rates and mileage rates over the life of the contract, but the estimated amount for the five-year period is $1,877,580.

SAN JACINTO – Street sweeping will resume in San Jacinto beginning Monday, Aug. 3, and residents are warned to move their vehicles on street sweeping days or be cited.

The announcement came from the city manager’s office recently.

The city, due to the coronavirus pandemic, suspended the street sweeping operations indefinitely.

The city issued a news release saying any vehicle on the streets during posed street sweeping days will be cited.

“Residents should review the street sweeping signs posted at the entrance of neighborhoods to determine the street sweeping day to avoid fines. Street sweeping improves the city by removing trash from the neighborhoods and

prevents harmful pollutants from affecting downstream watersheds.

Cooperation is appreciated,” according to the city’s notice.

If residents have any questions, they can contact the city at 951487-7330 or visit the city’s website for more street sweeping information at http://sanjacintoca.gov.

Menifee aims to fix traffic congestion with government-funded project Lexington Howe STAFF WRITER

Menifee is working on a project that will allow the city to help diminish traffic congestion. The traffic signal communications project was first awarded a grant of $1,021,600 in 2008, but only recently begun to be installed.

Jonathan G. Smith, city engineer and director of public works, discussed the project in more detail over a video call.

“We broke the project up to the east side and the west side of the I-215,” Smith said. “The city incorporated it Oct. 1, 2008, and at that time of our incorporation we had about, I want to say 50 traffic signals. They were all installed without any possibility of connecting them and bringing that information to one location.”

They came up with a way of interconnecting traffic signals and bringing that information to city hall.

“We can monitor the traffic signals and adjust them to allow traffic to flow more efficiently,” Smith said. “For instance, during the Christmas season when everyone is out trying to get to a particular store, we’re able to watch that intersection that’s being impacted by the shoppers.”

Smith said that with this information, they can adjust the timing of the signals live from the office, helping to improve the circulation and allow shoppers to get to the stores a little more quickly.

“If there’s an event that causes traffic back up, say an accident on the road, we can control the traffic signals to run green to clear out traffic, to whatever we need until the issue is resolved,” he said.

They’ll also be notified through the system when there’s a malfunction at the traffic signal.

“If it happens to lose power, if a light goes out – any issues with the traffic signal – the system will inform us,” he said.

The system wirelessly sends a signal and notifies staff.

“The command signal also sends the information to the maintenance staff to their cellphones, so they’ll get the information right on their cellphones live and they will respond to the issue very quickly,” he said.

They’ve finished installation on the east side of the city and are currently working on the west side.

“We have a traffic engineer that will be monitoring the traffic system live, during the day,” Smith said. “If an issue comes up during the evening, a notification will be sent out to the maintenance team alerting them of the issue so it will have 24-hour surveillance.”

Right now, if a traffic signal goes out, the city may not know about it until a community member calls it in. With this new system, they’ll save time if they know about the issue before heading out to see what it may be, or what parts they need to repair it.

The project is federally funded with a grant.

Menifee is in the process of interconnecting traffic signals, such as this system being installed at the Valley News/Lexington Howe photo intersection of Antelope Road and Stillwater Drive in Menifee.

“We were successful in winning the grant; however, that doesn’t mean they give you the money right away,” Smith said. “It was sometime later that we received the money to be able to do the design; then we had to request the money for the construction, and then it was a while before we received that.”

Smith said he anticipates completion of the project in the next three months.

“The system will be up and running both on the east and west side and we’ll be able to monitor everything from city hall and manage it,” Smith said.

There will be 62 signals retrofitted with these two projects, according to Smith, both on the east and west sides.

“We have other traffic signals that developers have constructed since then, and have installed the same equipment and will get it

online,” Smith said. “It will be somewhere in the vicinity of 90 traffic signals.”

“In Menifee, traffic is an issue,” Smith said. “And this is just another step in managing our traffic more efficiently to allow our commuters, our residents to get to and from wherever they’re going more efficiently.”

Young adults experience their first jobs as essential workers during the coronavirus pandemic Emily Schwank INTERN

While many adults are coping with working from home during the coronavirus pandemic, many students and young adults are experiencing changes as their first jobs are found in essential businesses.

Many essential workers commonly seen in grocery stores and restaurants are students and young adults.

Edwyn Velez, a 16-year-old essential worker, said “Due to school closures, I had too much

free time and… decided to use that time for important things like work.”

Armando Peña, another young essential worker, said working “would be a great opportunity to earn and save money, considering school was modified,” and it gave him “something to do during the quarantine.”

These young adults are required to abide by the state and county health orders their companies are using for the safety of its customers and employees. Velez said employees at his workplace “must wear masks (and are) no longer

Peña explained the new rules his company has put in place.

“At work, we have to wash our hands every 10 minutes and wear masks to protect ourselves and the customers. We also have the crew

split into three different blocks to prevent the spread of coronavirus as much as possible,” he said.

Despite the additional challenges, these essential workers also speak well of their jobs.

“I am glad to help ensure that with our extra caution, we can keep our business running,” Velez said.

Peña said he “enjoyed growing closer with my co-workers” and was glad to have “the opportunity to serve the community.”

the county’s fatalities, or 286, have been people between the ages of 65 and 84.

The number of new deaths reported in the county over the weekend was just one and the total number of people that have died from the virus since the county began sits at 29,983.

Since 24 people were reported to have died from the virus Wednesday, July 15, an all-time one-day record for the county, the number of deaths has remained relatively low.

Also, 28 fewer people were hospitalized with the virus since Friday, for a new total of 507 hospitalizations. But the county reported 131 of those patients were in intensive care units, one more than before the weekend started.

Overall, 10,795 people have recovered from the virus, 379 more than the Friday before, pretty much on par with numbers of recovered patients from the week before. Thus far, the county has tested 323,725 residents for the virus, 16,108 more over the weekend, one of the highest weekend totals reported.

Locally, Temecula added 27 cases (539), Murrieta added 15 (586), Wildomar added six (251), Lake Elsinore added 12 (582), Canyon Lake added five (43), Menifee added 40 (652), Hemet added 29 (754), and San Jacinto added 19 (528).

In local communities, Anza added no new cases (seven), East Hemet added eight (153), French Valley added two (158), Lakeland Village added four (92), Valle Vista added nine (101) and Winchester didn’t add any new cases (six).

Temecula was the only city in the county to add a death from the virus and now has two total. There have been 12 deaths from Murrieta, five from Wildomar, 10 from Lake Elsinore, none from Canyon

Lake, nine from Menifee, 30 from Hemet, nine from San Jacinto, none from Anza, two from East Hemet, one from French Valley, two from Lakeland Village and none from Valle Vista or Winchester.

The county reported that there were 271 confirmed cases in county jails and another 1,191 cases recorded in state prisons within the county.

Out of all the patients being treated in Riverside County, only two are from neighboring Imperial County, the site of a coronavirus outbreak that overwhelmed the county’s two hospitals, forcing some patients to be transferred to Riverside County.

Rep. Raul Ruiz, D-Palm Desert, said Monday the county is in the midst of a surge, and that surge should not be blamed on Imperial County.

“We are experiencing a real local community spread surge that requires real local community awareness and responsibility to stop the surge,” Ruiz, who is also an emergency room doctor, posted on Facebook. “Blaming the surge on Imperial County patients is not based on evidence and the misinformation diminishes the urgency and need to take local public health precautions that will help our local community stop the surge.”

The known active COVID-19 case count Monday was 18,600, up 908 from Friday’s figures. According to the county executive office, the active case count is derived by subtracting deaths and recoveries from the current cumulative total, 29,983.

The advisory letter goes on to say that an update July 2, to industry guidance for restaurants, bars and wineries said, “All events or gatherings that would bring together persons from different households, such as private parties, must be canceled or postponed until further notice.”

According to the advisory letter, concerts are listed as a Stage 4 activity in the state’s roadmap to reopening.

“The county’s public health officials need your help in both complying with and spreading the word about the state’s orders which prohibit live music events at restaurants, wineries, parks and other local establishments at this time,” according to Priamos’ advisory notice.

County residents who were aware of a business or organization that was hosting or promoting live music events should contact Priamos and Kelly Moran, supervising deputy county counsel.

Riverside University Health System – Public Health officials reported Monday 1,288 new cases of COVID-19 over the weekend bringing the total number of cases within the county to 29,983 since the county began recording data.

Day by day, the county reported 672 new cases Saturday, 160 on Sunday and 456 on Monday. Those numbers are in stark contracts to the number of new cases that reported throughout the week before, which saw two days of more than 800 new cases per day.

Local Are fireworks in Riverside County really illegal? Sort of Jeff Pack STAFF WRITER

According to the Cal Fire Riverside County Fire Department website, “All fireworks, including sparklers, are illegal in Riverside County. … Those caught with illegal fireworks will be subject to fines, citation and/or arrest; including confiscation of all illegal fireworks.”

But on the Fourth of July, according to some local law enforcement agencies, very few people found to be shooting off fireworks to celebrate the nation’s Independence Day were cited or arrested.

Valley News reached out to representatives from Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, Murrieta Police Department, Menifee Police Department and Hemet Police Department for data.

Hemet’s department did not respond by press time, and Cpl. Lionel Murphy of Riverside County Sheriff’s media information bureau said, “statistical information is generally CLOSURE from page A-1 move barricades and allow businesses to move tables.

At any rate, it was a victory for Old Town business owners who have decried the street closure plan.

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. Restaurants in the street closure area were to be able to utilize street parking and the sidewalk for seating, and the main roadway would serve as a pedestrian paseo.

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.

But even that first revised plan went too far for some business owners, who claim they have seen declines in revenue since the street

not available until approximately one month after any given incident date.”

According to Bob Magee, mayor pro tem of Lake Elsinore, there were 20 citations handed out by Riverside County Sheriff’s Lake Elsinore Substation deputies over the Fourth of July weekend.

According to the Murrieta Police Department, more than 100 calls came into the department, July 4, which they handled but reported no citations or arrests.

Tony Conrad of the Murrieta Police Department reported that MPDnt mainly confiscated illegal fireworks and “handed out informational pamphlets.”

There was significant discussion on social media about residents firing off their own fireworks to replace the fireworks shows typically held by area cities and businesses such as Pechanga Resort Casino, which canceled their show just more than a week before July 4.

Only Menifee held a fireworks

display for the community, taking place, June 27.

But the newly debuted Menifee Police Department had quite an evening on the Fourth of July, according to Capt. Dave Gutierrez.

Gutierrez said 175 confirmed calls came into the department regarding illegal fireworks.

“There were likely many more, but due to the extremely high volume of calls, some residents were not able to get through,” he said.

The department issued no fireworks-related citations, arrests or confiscated any illegal fireworks that evening, Gutierrez said.

“July Fourth and July 5 were exceptionally busy for us,” he said.

“While we did receive approximately 175 dispatchable calls for service related to fireworks, our troops also responded to a couple of hundred other calls including Priority 1 calls. Some of those calls were a homicide, hit and run collisions with injuries, alarm calls, a prowler call, mental health calls, domestic

violence calls, a man shooting a gun call, fire assist calls, assault with a deadly weapon call, DUI call and welfare checks.”

Gutierrez said the department recognized the complaints and calls associated with illegal fireworks, they were unable to prioritize them that night.

“Although call prioritizing is normal in all law enforcement agencies when call volumes are as high as they were over the Fourth of July weekend, it is a reality that some calls pend for longer than we would like,” he said. “Unfortunately, the main calls that had to pend longer than we would have liked were fireworks,” Gutierrez said. “We know, and absolutely acknowledge fireworks can be dangerous and were a nuisance and downright disrespectful to the peace and quiet of many people, but we just could not get to the fireworks calls in time to catch anyone in the act of using the fireworks. Even though the fireworks can be easily seen and

heard in the air, they are extremely difficult to pinpoint the location of origin.”

Gutierrez said the department is committed to continuing to improve the services they offer, including the issue of illegal fireworks.

“We want Menifee to know we will begin planning for July 4, 2021, at least a month in advance,” he said.

“We will keep this year’s data and use it for extra patrols and enforcement next year. By all accounts, this year was the worst anyone has seen in Menifee and all over California in many years. We want to ensure next year is not the same or worse.

The Menifee Police Department is committed to maintaining the safety of all our residents. We will always work hard to accomplish this.”

According to Cal Fire’s website, http://readyforwildfire.org, “if convicted, a violator could be fined up to $50,000, as well as be sent to jail for up to one year.”

closure has gone into effect, coming just after the lifting of some public health orders allowed them to reopen their businesses.

Opposition to the plan was not universal, though – according to Watson, eight Old Town businesses were already participating by moving tables into the public right of way, and 14 applications had been submitted. One business owner Valley News interviewed said he was happy with the street closure plan and was even depending on it to keep his restaurant open after new restrictions on indoor dining came down from Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office earlier in July amid a surge in coronavirus cases.

Still, in light of the criticism, Watson presented two plans to the city council: continuing with the street closure as-is while improving signage and working to beautify the closure by doing things like creating “parklets” in unused parking spaces and using decorative bollards instead of unsightly road barricades or simply reopening the street to through traffic, allowing businesses to use only street parking for seating and retaining the

sidewalk for pedestrian use.

The second option does reduce the amount of seating available for restaurants, but after lengthy discussion, the council decided it struck the best balance between businesses’ stated concerns and the necessary work that will need to be done to help them survive amid pandemic-related restrictions.

Council member Mike Naggar did initially express reluctance to, once again, second-guess the council’s earlier decision on the street closure plan, especially in light of the ever-changing coronavirus restrictions – when the plan was first approved by the council, indoor dining had just been allowed to resume.

“I don’t want to minimize anyone’s troubles. I really don’t want to do that, but I think Option 1 is good. I think we stay the course,” Naggar initially said.

The council acknowledged that it was impossible to know whether the street closure was the main factor in the declines in revenue that some business owners were reporting, as coronavirus cases have surged regionally in the exact

same time frame as the street closure, with Mayor Pro Tem Maryann Edwards making that point in Latin.

“Post hoc ergo propter hoc – after, therefore, because of it,” Edwards said. “Well, because something happens after something else is implemented, is that the cause?”

Councilmember Zak Schwank said there have been more than 12,000 new coronavirus cases in Riverside County since the city council’s last discussion of the Old Town street closure plan.

“We can’t ignore that that is part of the reason we are seeing the decline in business,” Schwank said. “Not just in Old Town but in general.”

All of the council members ultimately came to the conclusion that the second option was the best compromise.

“If we find a nice happy medium in this, let’s stick to that,” council member Matt Rahn said. “Everybody’s gonna sacrifice a little bit here because we’re not gonna have the parking. … Everybody’s gonna take a little bit of a hit, but it at least keeps the through traffic going and

it doesn’t have that closed-down feel.”

While street parking along Old Town Front Street will remain unavailable, the city has allocated two dirt lots across Mercedes Street from City Hall for use as temporary parking lots.

Two restaurants in Old Town are currently utilizing sidewalk space for seating, and the council’s decision included a stipulation that those businesses’ operations be grandfathered into the new plan, with pedestrians being able to use the sidewalks across the street from those businesses.

The revised street closure plan was approved unanimously by the council.

Watson said that while the actual street closure plan applies only to Old Town, other restaurants and other businesses throughout the city that are now barred from indoor operations are welcome to apply for permits to move their operations outside onto privately-owned spaces like patios and parking lots to remain open.

Lake Elsinore experiences an increase in visitors as quarantine drags on Emily Schwank INTERN

Lake Elsinore’s many amenities have become a prime spot for visitors seeking an escape from the coronavirus pandemic.

With 3,000 acres of water and 14 miles of shoreline, Lake Elsinore is southern California’s largest natural, freshwater lake. According to the city website, the lake has public beaches with picnic tables, shade features, easy-access parking and a 3-mile levee for hiking.

It offers visitors motor boating, kayaking, fishing and many other activities. A tournament channel can be used for professional ski instruction, club and pro competitions.

Nicole Dailey, assistant to the city manager in the city of Lake Elsinore, said the lake has seen an increase in visitors in recent months.

“Really since Memorial Day we’ve seen a lot more interest,” she said. “We’ve seen our (RV) reservations go up to 100% capacity nearly every weekend. We’ve had to close our parking lot to day use.”

Dailey said the lake has seen a wide variety of visitors.

“We’ve seen an increase in fish anglers,” Dailey said. “We’ve seen an increase in boating, on the lake and jet skis. We’ve seen some really large performance boats down to regular families in a raft.”

A fisherman waits for the big bite on Lake Elsinore where an influx of visitors have arrived in recent weeks seeking escape from the coronavirus pandemic.

While Dailey said the city “only has jurisdiction over some of the shoreline,” they are still encourag-

ing lake users to maintain social distancing orders and to wear masks when they can’t.

Temecula resident’s Star Wars artwork licensed by Lucasfilm

Temecula native Devin Schoeffler works on his first trilogy poster for “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back” and receives licensing through Valley News/Courtesy photos ACME Archives Ltd. and Lucasfilm Ltd.

Lexington Howe STAFF WRITER

What started off as a hobby for one Temecula resident has turned into a licensed project with Lucasfilm Ltd. Deven Schoeffler, 39, said he grew up watching the original 80s Star Wars films with his father.

“We would watch them on our little color TV; we’d watch the VHS tapes,” Schoeffler said. “I’ve always been a fan of just drawing the aesthetics of Star Wars, (they) were just really appealing, everything about them was super cool.”

Schoeffler attended Rancho Elementary School, Margarita Middle School and Temecula Valley High School. In high school, Schoeffler learned graphic design for the first time.

“I don’t know if they still have it, but at the time they had a, kind of like an after-school program to learn how to use a printing press,” Schoeffler said. “It was this whole program involved with every step

of that process from laying documents out on computers and then moving it to the actual printing press process, and that’s where I started to really learn graphic design.”

Schoeffler got his first job out of high school while he was in college from that initial class.

“The teacher at the time recommended me for a job and that was for a graphic design job, and that’s kind of where I have been ever since,” he said.

While Schoeffler got his degree in business at California State University San Marcos, he’s continuously found work in graphic design.

“My career out of college I actually worked for The Press Enterprise doing design, and then the Orange County Register,” Schoeffler said. “From there I got into advertising and I did a lot of projects there, did work for Honda and Magic Johnson, Wells Fargo and stuff like that.”

Schoeffler also keeps side proj-

ects going, he said.

“I have always just kind of made my own design, put stuff up that people like,” Schoeffler said.

Last year, Schoeffler worked on a “Mandalorian” poster, because

he was excited that the show was coming out.

“Somebody saw that online and contacted me about getting that licensed through Lucasfilm, and then that led to the original trilogy

posters – so I’ve only done a couple projects with them, but it’s been pretty cool to see that stuff get the official license,” Schoeffler said. see ARTWORK, page B-2

ogy posters – “Star Wars: A New Hope,” “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back” and “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi” – were picked up and licensed as a limited fiveday run to purchase. They sold out.

Schoeffler also posted it on reddit.

“It got a huge number of likes on reddit, I think it got like 60,000 likes on reddit and that was pretty big,” he said. His “Mandalorian” poster had also been released, and that one sold out as well.

“It’s really encouraging to hear,” Schoeffler said. “I would make these things anyways, and so it’s really nice to see that people like them.”

Schoeffler said he has always been a fan of sci-fi.

“My mom was a huge sci-fi fan,” Schoeffler said. “Basically, I just make stuff that I would like to see, that I would hang up on my wall and that’s where it all comes from.”

He was glad people have reacted so positively to the pieces, he said.

“It was definitely a fun project to work on,” Schoeffler said.

Lexington Howe can be reached by email at lhowe@reedermedia. com.

The company that holds the license for the print is ACME Archives Ltd., and they print posters for Lucasfilm.

Schoeffler came up with the initial idea for his first poster based on the old Star Wars VHS movie covers.

“I want to say the biggest inspiration was I remember back to those old VHS tapes that my dad had,” Schoeffler said. “If you look at the old VHS cover for ‘Empire Strikes Back,’ like a big, Stormtrooper helmet on there, and that has just always stuck with me, and I just thought it would be cool.

“Really I kind of wanted the bottom of his mask to be like the snow banks of Hoth with the ATAT’s coming out of the top of that,” he said.

That idea was where Schoeffler started.

“It kind of just evolved into what that was, and so that was actually the first one I started with was the Empire, and then after the other two just naturally fell into place,” Schoeffler said.

He said he also has a few other projects in the works. His tril-

TEMECULA – The Cork Fire Kitchen at Temecula Creek Inn has earned Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence for 2020. Of an estimated 660,755 restaurants in the United States, only 2,289 or 0.3% received the award. The Award of Excellence recognizes restaurants with a pure dedication to wine.

Whether concise or extensive, focused on only a few wine regions or diverse, the winning lists deliver

ample choice to satisfy discerning wine lovers.

“We knew our restaurant was doing great things based on our guests’ feedback.

Find the right type of attorney: Personal injury

Andrew Zucker THE ZUCKER LAW FIRM

Imagine: you’ve been in an accident or had an injury – your checklist of to-dos has exploded

with things to do and more concerns than ever. Whether it’s need for medical care or other forms of physical or emotional support, your daily life is suddenly a lot more complicated. You start to consider if your unique situation warrants an attorney. Can they help? How do you know what kind of attorney you should look for?

People see so many ads, commercials and billboards it’s hard to tell what each law firm does or doesn’t do. The legal world is full of confusing terms, often leaving those on the outside scratching their heads, frustrated by the assumption they should know what is being talked about.

Lee’s Corner Lee-ism’s: Life’s Golden Nuggets by Lee Hulsey

“Change” You might think worrying, maintaining tight control, and resisting change will forestall disaster.

Actually, it will only drive you Nuts!!

Sponsored by ROSELAND NURSERY Located at Old Hwy. 395 and 5th Street, Rainbow 760-535-0053

Let’s make it simple. If your situation is one of physical or emotional injury, you’re going to need a personal injury attorney. It is one of the most prominent areas of law.

Considered at face value, it can be a vague phrase. What does “personal injury” mean? Most people think it means car accidents, which are by and large the most common type of personal injury, but it’s not the only qualifying situation. It can also include wrongful death, injuries caused by a dangerous or defective condition of someone’s property, a flawed or harmful product, medical malpractice, intentional acts that cause harm and work injuries from a variety of circumstances.

For many people, a situation that occurs under any of these categories may simply be swept aside because an alternative – like taking legal action – feels too overwhelming or the incident “wasn’t a big deal.”

Keep in mind, there are justifiable reasons for seeking further action. If an injury occurs that causes you long-term physical or mental stress, it’s more serious than just brushing it aside or “getting over it.” The lasting implications of said injury can be far-reaching and may call for legal action to mend it. A personal injury attorney is skilled at valuing all the facets of your situation from medical care, pain and suffering, loss of earnings, attorney’s fees and more to ensure you receive appropriate compensation.

There are some firms that dabble in many different branches of law but think how you’d feel about any business that does “a little bit of everything.” There’s real value in seeking a small, specialized firm.

Firms with a specific focus have years of experience and know the in-and-outs of their particular area of the law, providing the best counseling to their clients. They

often excel at keeping clients inthe-know, clarifying confusing terms or procedures and keeping the process as smooth as possible.

It’s the personalized service that makes you feel confident in the decision you’ve made.

In short, don’t think your situation isn’t worth the time and analysis of an attorney seasoned in personal injury. If an accident has occurred that has caused you physical or emotional harm, it may be more serious than you originally thought. Firms like ours are experienced in a variety of personal injury situations and exist to take the burden off you. The goal is to do what most benefits you and your lifestyle. Consider if your situation qualifies and contact an attorney to evaluate its impact.

EMWD’s Wine Country Sewer Special Benefit Area has 12% delinquency Joe Naiman WRITER

The Eastern Municipal Water District has a benefit assessment for sewer service in Temecula’s Wine Country, and approximately 12% of the 2019-2020 assessment amount is delinquent.

A report on the 2019-2020 assessment payments was included in the presentation during EMWD’s July 15 board meeting which included a 5-0 vote to adopt the 2020-2021 assessment.

EMWD authorized the formation of a special benefit area in the Wine Country area in November 2013 and also established a surcharge within the special benefit area to spread the cost of constructing sewer infrastructure among the area’s property owners. The financing program also

allows for financial participation charges property owners pay to be connected to the sewer system.

The assessment covers 23 parcels and 28 separate payments.

The total amount for 2019-2020 was $246,177.61. The payment is part of a landowner’s property tax bill, and the most recent property tax payments were due April 10.

A late fee is assessed if payments are not received by April 10, and the property tax is considered delinquent if it is not received by June 30.

Eastern received $216,035 of the $246,177 assessed for 2019-2020, which equates to approximately 88% of the total assessment.

The delinquent payments total $30,142.

EMWD staff believes that the delinquency rate is due to economic conditions caused by the

coronavirus shutdown which has had severe impacts on the travel, dining and tourism industries.

District staff members will work with the parcel owners on payment arrangement plans.

The total assessed amount for fiscal year 2020-2021 will be $246,177.50. Eastern’s June 17 board meeting included an infrastructure financing report on the benefit area. The total charge rounded to the nearest dollar will consist of $148,470 in surcharge payments and $97,708 in financial participation charge payments.

A legal notice of the July 15 hearing was published in the June 30 and July 7 editions of the Riverside Press-Enterprise.

Lake Elsinore Rotary Club installs new president LAKE ELSINORE – Jamie Schramm was installed as president of the Rotary Club of Lake Elsinore for the 2020-2021 year.

The service club provides over 21 local programs throughout the Lake Elsinore area and participates in four international programs.

After being very active in Rotary for previous years, Schramm said he was excited to take on the role of president for the upcoming year.

“This is a huge honor to lead the club. My job is not just preparing meeting agendas and making decisions for the club. Our club is one of the most active and wellrecognized clubs throughout the worldwide Rotary network,” Schramm said. “Vocational and local school support is one of our main focuses. We mentor high school students with Interact Clubs, send seventh graders and high school juniors to leadership camps called PRYDE and RYLA, we assist in

sponsoring high school athletic physicals, we honor three teachers every month at our a.m. meetings, and we provide vocational job shadow programs. Our members are very passionate about providing and enhancing youth programs and services in the community.”

During Schramm’s year as president, he said he plans to focus on the youth programs, as well as focus on older adult needs within the community.

Schramm became a Rotarian in 2017, while a business owner in Lake Elsinore. He is on the board of directors of Julie Lee Performing Arts Academy School, serves as an ambassador for the Chamber of Commerce Lake Elsinore and helps with many charitable organizations in the area. Additionally, Schramm is the founder of Care Musical and Art Exchange Inc., a nonprofit, and helps to fund music and fine arts programs for children from the ages of 8-18. As an accomplished musician, he is

MURRIETA – Sukanya Krishna, a Murrieta Valley High School graduate, has received Murrieta Rotary Club’s special renewable scholarship. The June graduate will receive the $4,000 scholarship payable in $1,000 annual increments to further her education.

Sukanya plans to study computer sciences at the University of California San Diego starting in fall 2020.

In addition to the four-year renewable scholarship, Murrieta Rotary annually offers a number of career tech scholarships for graduating high school and for community college students. The program was delayed this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic and is expected to be awarded in upcoming months.

Newsom announces schools will stay closed in counties on state’s COVID-19 monitoring list City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered all school campuses Friday, July 17, to remain closed when the school year begins in counties on the state’s monitoring list due to spiking coronavirus cases – including Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego and Riverside counties.

The order means districts across Southern California will begin the new school year with distancelearning programs. The state’s two largest districts, Los Angeles Unified and San Diego Unified, had already announced plans to begin the new academic year with online-only courses.

Temecula and Murrieta’s school districts had not yet committed to an online-only start to the school year, but schools in Lake Elsinore and Menifee had already announced plans to utilize distance learning to start the year.

In light of Newsom’s announcement, Temecula Valley Unified issued an update stating that district staff will discuss the impacts of the governor’s decision at TVUSD’s next governing board meeting, July 21.

“TVUSD staff has been working diligently over the past couple of months to prepare for every outcome and phase of reopening, including online learning,” according to the announcement from TVUSD. “Because of this work, we will be able to offer our students a robust and rigorous online learning environment when we start school. Our online learning model will be vastly different from the emergency distance learning we quickly pivoted to in March when schools initially closed physically.”

Murrieta Valley Unified held its most recent board meeting in

the morning, July 17, just before Newsom’s announcement.

While MVUSD did not reach a decision at that meeting on whether to move forward with traditional, virtual or hybrid learning models, a district official said a decision would be made by the end of the month.

“Action will be undertaken no later than July 29, 2020, by the board of education.” Patrick Kelley, the district’s superintendent, said.

Lake Elsinore Unified told parents at its July 16 board meeting that the district “is announcing our intention to reopen instruction on Aug. 12, in a full distance learning format.”

Menifee Union School District already announced Tuesday, July 14, that it intended to move forward with two options: traditional learning with “health enhancements” and an online-only option.

“The MUSD instructional team, supported by counselors and nurses, will teach and reinforce expectations for safety enhancements such as hand-washing, keeping individual supplies and maintaining personal space. Recess/lunches may be staggered and the use of face masks is determined by state requirements school citizenship lessons will promote safe and respectful behavior related to COVID-19 precautions,” according to MUSD’s website.

And Hemet Unified had also previously announced it would reopen in-person with “major health requirements” in place and an option for online learning.

Hemet and Menifee both were also set to reopen Wednesday, Aug. 12.

Hemet Unified schools would have opened with major health requirements in place for those stu-

MSJC begins registration for fall 2020 semester SAN JACINTO – Registration for the fall 2020 semester at Mt. San Jacinto College is now open, with classes beginning Monday, Aug. 17. Visit http://www.msjc. edu/schedule to register.

The arrival of COVID-19 in the spring forced the closures of all MSJC campuses and in-person courses, leading the college to creatively and successfully transition instruction and student support services online to complete the semester.

The fall 2020 semester will look different, with about 80% of classes scheduled for online and about 20% returning to campuses.

Many of the latter category will be Career Education courses and science labs that require hands-on instruction.

Ensuring proper social distancing to help reduce the spread of COVID-19, programs and instructors will be strategic in how they conduct in-person classes and labs.

“We’ll be on campus, but we’ll do a lot of creative scheduling,” Dr. Peter Zografos, director and chair of the MSJC nursing program, which has about 100 students, said. “We’ll have to stagger our students. We can’t have 30 students in a classroom at the same time. It’ll be down to about 10.

Our faculty have been amazing

and flexible to make that happen.”

Many of the college’s theory courses will be online in real time, meaning they’ll be held virtually but on a specific schedule. Other theory courses will be held online anytime, meaning course materials will be available 24/7, though students will still need to check in and meet assignment deadlines as instructed.

Like Zografos, certified nursing assistant instructor Patricia McBee said she faces challenges in ensuring her students complete their coursework in one semester, receive hands-on experience in nursing care facilities and take their tests to earn their certifications before heading into the in-demand health care workforce.

“We’re working closely with our health care system partners in the community for our students to continue getting that real-world training,” McBee said. “You learn a lot with live patients, more so than with interactive simulations online.”

Students can see the fall 2020 schedule at http://www.msjc.edu/ schedule and can learn more about MSJC Career Education programs at http://www.msjc.edu/CareerEducation.

dents will return to the classrooms and an option for online learning, but of course, any previously existing plans for in-person learning are now up in the air.

On Friday, Springs Charter Schools announced they would not have students on campus to start the school year either.

“In light of recent statistics and concerns in California, we have decided to delay the return to sitebased academy and learning center classrooms at least through September,” Kathleen Hermsmeyer, superintendent of Springs Charter Schools, said in a statement. “In mid-September, we will reevaluate opening our physical classrooms beginning in October.”

Newsom said school campuses

will only be allowed to open in counties that have been off the state’s monitoring list for at least 14 days. Counties are placed on the monitoring list based on a variety of factors, including coronavirus transmission and fatality rates. As of Friday, 32 California counties were on the list.

Schools that are eventually allowed to reopen will have to meet a series of other requirements, including mandatory masks for staff and students in third-grade and above, physical distancing mandates and regular on-campus coronavirus testing. He also said distance-learning programs in closed schools must be “rigorous,” with daily student interaction.

“Learning in the state of Cali-

fornia is simply non-negotiable,” Newsom said, but added, “Safety is foundational. Safety will ultimately make the determination of how we go about educating our kids.”

Under the guidelines announced

by Newsom, in schools that are allowed to open, students and staff in individual classrooms will be sent home when a single case is confirmed. The entire school will be closed if cases are confirmed in multiple classrooms or if more than 5% of the school tests positive for the virus.

An entire district will be closed if 25% of its schools are closed in a 14-day period, he said.

Jeff Pack, Will Fritz, Tony Ault and Jeremiah Tatola contributed to this report.

Local students receive diploma from Norwich University NORTHFIELD, Vt. – The following local students officially received a degree from Norwich University Saturday, May 2.

Ryan Acton Latta of Temecula received a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice.

Christopher Ramon Dayos of Temecula graduated cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in health science.

Daniel C. Najera of Wildomar received a bachelor’s degree in management.

Due to concerns related to the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 ceremony was postponed. Norwich University President Emeritus Richard W. Schneider, one of the nation’s longest seated university leaders who retired May 31 after serving at the helm for 28 years, delivered a congratulatory

message in a video sent to 472 graduates May 2.

Schneider said, “This will be the spring of unforgettable events in our country...You have seen the highs and lows.”

He acknowledged the spring semester was cut short by the pandemic and also recounted homecoming the year before, 2019’s bicentennial that brought over 6,000 alumni to campus to celebrate. Schneider concluded by assuring graduates that he will always be there for them. He ended by raising a glass in toast, saying “To the class of 2020, we wish you the very best on your commencement. Norwich Forever.”

Graduates include future military officers, law enforcement officers and many who will go on to graduate school, jobs in the federal

government, athletic training, construction management and numerous sectors of public service. The class of 2020 is comprised of 173 civilian students and 299 students in the Corps of Cadets.

Norwich University’s 2020 commencement ceremony will celebrate the class of 2020 matriculating from 32 undergraduate programs and one on-campus master’s program. Students graduating from Norwich University’s online programs have also been invited to participate, as their in-person June residency was also canceled due to the pandemic and will now be conducted online.

After months of speculation and uncertainty about the 2020-2021 high school sports season, the CIF State and Southern Section announced recently how it will adjust the sports calendar to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.

With most public and private schools in Southern California set to begin the school year in August with distance learning, the plan is to transition to on-campus classes once health officials and school districts allow for it.

The CIF State office, which governs high school athletics in California, passed down the decision Monday, July 20, at 9 a.m., and as most anticipated, the announcement was made that high school sports are being canceled until late December or early January. Of course, all is not lost, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

High school sports have been approved to begin in December.

Yes, there are hopes of starting months earlier if the pandemic is controlled enough to allow for it, but at the rate at which positive coronavirus cases are climbing, there is no reason to go down that rabbit hole.

The most notable surprise that came from the news release that Rob Wigod, commissioner of the CIF Southern Section, sent out was that instead of conducting three shortened seasons of winter, fall and spring sports, there will now only be two seasons. The statement said there will be a fall season and a spring season, but with contests not starting until December for most normal fall sports programs, the winter weather will for sure show its face. The calendar for the two sports seasons, as most expected, looks a lot like what the California Community Colleges announced a few weeks ago.

“I agree with the decision,” John Broussard, athletic director of Murrieta Mesa High School, said. “I think they did the best they could during this unprecedented time. The most challenging will be structuring facility use for example soccer and lacrosse during the same season with track. Scheduling contest let alone training ses-

sion will be tricky.”

It appears the calendar will help preserve longer section playoffs, state regional playoffs and allows teams to play a longer season, which were three things CIF and coaches and athletic directors were hoping to accomplish. Unfortunately, it appears this change will impact dual-sport athletes and dual-sport coaches the most because of crossover dates.

“When it comes to individual impact, the multi-sport athlete is hit the worse because this structure really limits that opportunity,” Broussard said. “From an HR standpoint I have multi-sport coaches, so finding ways to fill any holes will present a challenge.

Overall, I think it is doable. The program who says they can’t succeed during this time is probably right. The program who says they can succeed is also right. Perspective is everything. At Mesa, we will get it done and continue to serve our athletes and families well.”

The most shocking news announced was that because the new schedule doesn’t coincide with the traditional season of club sports for soccer, volleyball, baseball, softball and others, CIF will not be making athletes choose between their high school and club teams.

Instead in an unprecedented move, athletes will be able to compete simultaneously with club teams during the high school season of their sport. This move is going to open a whole new can of worms in the coming months.

“This begs the question about what is more important,” Jamie Duncan, a parent with an athlete in the Temecula Valley Unified School District, said. “My daughter plays volleyball, and most of her recruiting gets done in the showcase realm. It will weigh heavy on her to miss a high school game to go to a tournament, and vice versa.”

Though there is still time to work out some of the kinks when it comes to top tournaments for club teams, and the significance of high school sports, there are still so many other things on the forefront for school administrators, coaches, players, families, etc. Scheduling buses for team sports is one of the

many challenges for athletic directors, and it only gets harder in a district with several high schools.

Plus, the schedules for every sport and every level must be reworked based on the altered dates set by CIF-SS and CIF. “I think the CIF did a great job with a tough situation,” Doug Soles, head cross-country and distance track coach at Great Oak High School. “Most sports will get a pretty normal season, and that is great. Everyone will have to work together to get field space to work, especially in the spring. Adapt for one year and then back to normal.

We all can do that.”

The decision by the CIF buys everyone some time to establish a better way of knowing how to proceed.

“At the end of the day, we have to get this right,” Wigod said in a virtual meeting with the media recently. “We’re dealing with other people’s children, and their safety

is what this is all about.”

Here is what the fall sports season will look like: The CIF-SS will allow football teams to begin practice Dec. 14 and play their Week 1 games Jan. 8. The sit-out period will end Feb. 8. The schedule allows for 10 regular-season contests ending March 12, with CIF-SS playoffs running from March 19 through the CIF-SS finals April 9-10. The CIF state championship bowl games will be April 16-17, with no state championships.

Boys’ and girls’ volleyball would be beginning games Dec. 19, and boys and girls water polo would begin competing Dec. 21.

The CIF-SS water polo championships would be March 6, with regional finals March 19-20.

For volleyball and water polo, section championships would be March 13, with state regional championships through March 20.

The cross-country section finals

would conclude March 20, with state competition concluding March 27.

The springs sports season would include baseball, softball and boys’ and girls’ basketball, soccer, tennis, track and field, swimming, badminton, golf and competitive cheer.

Boys’ and girls’ basketball sectional finals would be completed June 12, with state regional playoffs finishing June 19.

The section championships for soccer, swimming and tennis would end May 29, with state regional playoffs concluding by June 5.

Baseball, softball and track and field sectional finals would be completed by June 19, with state regional finals June 26.

CIF recommended guidelines for 2020-2021 high school sports amid coronavirus pandemic JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

With the CIF State office announcing that high school sports are being pushed back to the end of the year because of the coronavirus pandemic, the organization has released a 10-page set of recommended guidelines on how local section and health officials should proceed on reintroducing high school athletics.

Steps on resuming sports include two reopening phases and details on pre-workout screenings, hygiene practices, food and hydration, travel, face coverings, pre-participation exams, faculties cleaning and entrance and exit strategies. The guidelines include a list of activities that each sport should follow, unless instructed by local county health officials.

Phase One No gathering of more than what is allowed by local county guidelines.

Workouts should be conducted

CIF from page C-1 coach of Murrieta Mesa, said.

At this point, many parents are also already dissecting the schedule and pushing out real good questions that hopefully will get answered in the coming months.

“This will be interesting,” Kristi Aguirre, a local high school sports mother and photographer, said.

“How will boys’ and girls’ soccer, boys’ and girls’ lacrosse and track use the same field? Also, I know with Heritage High School, almost the entire boys’ volleyball team consists of football players, so they probably won’t have players to field a team. Plus, you have soccer players that do track too. Heritage and Paloma share a pool so it will be interesting to see how boys’ and girls’ water polo will share a pool, and some of the coaches are the same. I know tough decisions had to be made, but I think combining the sports into two seasons will hurt a lot of programs.”

in “pods” – the same five to 10 students working out together weekly, to limit overall exposures. Small pods can be used for strength training.

Athletes and coaches must maintain a physical distance of 6 feet.

If maintaining physical distance isn’t possible, the maximum number of individuals to a room must be decreased so physical distancing requirements are met.

Phase Two Up to 50 people may gather indoors or outdoors unless prescribed by county residents.

Pre-participation exam Governing bodies of school districts and private schools could provide a temporary waiver to an athlete to participate in athletics before the school’s first day of practice.

This waiver is limited to fall sports.

After 30 days, a student is required to submit a 2020-2021 physical exam to be eligible to

“So, we can eat outside, workout outside, get haircuts outside, shop retail outside and more, but we cannot play team sports outside?

It’s so lopsided and confusing,” Kerry Rodda, local high school sports mother, said.

“At least there is something to hold on to,” Chris Blaschak, Vista Murrieta father, said. “This is going to really affect multi-sport athletes.”

The true test is going to come in the next few months, and what happens with the spread of COVID-19. For now, there is some hope that high school sports will be played, and that alone, has the masses excited. To follow the latest CIF Southern Section updates, visit http://www.cifss.org.

Loma Linda University Cancer Center announces 3 new research directors

New research directors, from left, Dr. Frankis Almaguel, Kim Payne, Ph.D., and Dr. Pramil Singh have been appointed to address cancer discovery and treatments at Loma Linda University Health.

LOMA LINDA – Loma Linda University Cancer Center has appointed three cancer researchers to lead the center’s commitment to premium cancer care through development of new methods of discovery and treatment.

Dr. Frankis Almaguel, Ph.D., M.D., will serve as director of the Molecular Imaging and Therapeutics Research Program; Kim Payne, Ph.D., will serve as director of the Pediatric Leukemia Research Program and Dr. Pramil Singh, Pharm. D., will serve as director of the Tobacco Cessation

Research Program.

Dr. Mark E. Reeves, Ph.D., M.D., director of the LLUH Cancer Center, said the new appointments are instrumental in the organization’s drive to improve treatment and diagnosis of patients, create resources for tobacco cessation and identify a cure for pediatric leukemia. Reeves said he believes the three new leaders will successfully address quests for cures and advance diagnostics and treatment.

“These three directors lead important initiatives the cancer com-

munity worldwide has struggled to tackle,” Reeves said. “I have full confidence they can pave the way to a better future for patients who are battling deadly diseases.”

The National Cancer Institute estimated 1.73 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed this year and more than 600,000 Americans will die from the disease.

According to Reeves, key objectives within the cancer community internationally are improving customizable and precise cancer treatment and diagnosis, filling the need for solutions for the cessa-

tion of smoking – which has been found to be one of the major cancer causes – and developing a cure in pediatric leukemia.

More about the three new directors Almaguel said his goal of the Molecular Imaging and Therapeutics Research Program is to increase the use of lifesaving precision medicine for identifying cancer cells and treatment.

The method of molecular imaging includes the use of cancer-specific biomarkers, which are indicators of the severity or presence of the disease.

This novel type of imaging allows physicians to determine whether a specific drug or treatment is the right one for the right patient at the right time, enhancing precision in oncology. Once the cancer is identified, the same biomarkers specifically designed to identify the cancer cells are modified to destroy the tumors without killing healthy cells.

Currently, chemotherapy is not as precise, often harming healthy cells or organs which affects the patient’s quality of life. Almaguel said that each patient deserves a personalized treatment plan specifically tailored to the patient’s medical needs.

Through the Pediatric Leukemia Research Program, Payne is working to find a cure for pediatric leukemia – in particular, a cure for one very aggressive type of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

This type of B-ALL is the one of the deadliest cancers in children and it disproportionately targets Hispanic children with Native

American ancestry – largely the patient base at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital.

Payne said she and her team are closer to a treatment after their recent discovery that in patients who were given high levels of a molecule required to produce leukemia, the molecule both killed the leukemia cells and helped normal B-cells recover and come back stronger, according to the team’s data.

Singh’s focus at the Transdisciplinary Tobacco Research Program is on innovative cessation methods locally and globally for one of the primary concerns for disease burdens in the U.S.: tobacco. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of tobacco control and tobacco control research has grown.

Program faculty have responded by publishing National Institutes of Health-funded research linking smoked tobacco to infectious disease in rural Asia. Also, program faculty have recently submitted a series of grant proposals to investigate pathogen transmission on the surface of tobacco pipes.

More grants on tobacco and infectious disease pathways – including COVID-19 – are planned.

The program has received grant funding from several NIH institutes and is working with Pfizer Foundation to conduct a smoking cessation trial in Mongolia. Singh plans to continue working with a team of researchers to curtail tobacco use globally.

Health Opinion

New Docs: NIH Owns Half of Moderna Vaccine Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. CHAIRMAN, CHILDREN’S HEALTH DEFENSE

New documents obtained

by Axios and Public Citizen suggest that the National Institute of Health (NIH) owns half the key patent for Moderna’s controversial COVID vaccine and could collect half the royalties. In addition, four NIH scientists have filed their own provisional patent application as co-inventors. Little known NIH regulations let agency scientists collect up to $150,000.00 annually in royalties from vaccines upon which they worked. These rules are recipes for regulatory corruption.

NIH’s stake in the jab may explain why Anthony Fauci moved Moderna’s vaccine to the front of

the line and to let Moderna skip animal trials despite the experimental technology and the inherent dangers of Coronavirus vaccines.

Every prior coronavirus vaccine has proven problematic and can be lethal to animals due to COVID’s unique penchant for “pathogenic priming.” Death occurs only after a vaccinated animal encounters the wild virus.

Public health advocates and scientists criticized Fauci’s decision to skip animal trials as reckless.

It may also explain why Anthony Fauci arranged a $483 million grant to Moderna from a sister NIH agency, BARDA, despite the fact that Moderna has never brought a product to market or gotten approval. … Fauci publicly announced he

was ‘encouraged’ by Moderna’s catastrophic Phase 1 clinical trials despite the fact that groups of super healthy volunteers had Grade 3 ‘severe or medically significant’ reactions following vaccination.

Fauci’s infusion made Moderna CEO Steve Bancel a billionaire and further enriched Fauci’s mentor and co-investor Bill Gates. It may also explain why Fauci publicly announced he was “encouraged” by Moderna’s catastrophic Phase 1 clinical trials despite the fact that 20% of the high dose and 6% of the low dose groups of super healthy volunteers had Grade 3 “severe or medically significant” reactions following vaccination. Those results would have spelled DOA for any other medical product. After getting

the abysmal news, Bancel and four other Moderna executives immediately dumped more than $89 million in stock and Fauci was forced to make his optimistic public assessment to save Moderna’s plummeting shares from death spiral.

Fauci knows from experience that no matter how dangerous a vaccine, the easy part is convincing people to take it. Pharma, after all, controls the media.

Fauci painted lipstick on that lame donkey and now he’s trying to convince everyone it’s a thoroughbred. Moderna and NIH began manufacturing the first

of 1 billion doses of the deadly vaccine this month. Fauci knows from experience that no matter how dangerous a vaccine, the easy part is convincing people to take it. Pharma, after all, controls the media.

Will COVID-19 shorten the careers of some health care providers?

MONROE TOWNSHIP, N.J. – Across the country, COVID-19 has taken a toll, both physical and mental, on health professionals, and it’s not just limited to doctors and nurses who work in hospitals.

Even in private doctor’s offices, dental offices and other facilities, health workers face risks to both their mental and physical health.

Now the situation is raising questions about whether the pandemic could be the impetus for some people to flee the profession because of the excessive physical and mental tension.

“There are dental hygienists who are quitting their jobs because of concerns about the blood and saliva that can be sprayed about during procedures,” Dr. Cathy Hung, an oral surgeon and author of “Pulling Wisdom: Filling Gaps of Cross-Cultural Communication for Healthcare Providers,” said.

Many health professionals also may be feeling a financial strain, Hung said. Like retail businesses and restaurants, dentists, oral surgeons and many other medical specialists closed their offices temporarily or limited the hours

because of the pandemic.

Concerns about a health worker exodus aren’t limited to the United States. One report in the United Kingdom said 20% of health professionals said COVID-19 has made them more likely to leave the profession.

Hung said just doing the daily job is far different and more difficult than a few short months ago.

Mayor concedes Los Angeles reopened too soon as virus surges The Associated Press SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Mayor Eric Garcetti conceded Sunday, July 19, that Los Angeles reopened too quickly and again warned that the city was “on the brink” of new shutdown orders as the coronavirus continues to surge in California.

Appearing on CNN, Garcetti was asked about a Los Angeles Times editorial that criticized the rapid reopening of California, which was followed by a spike in new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations.

“I do agree those things happened too quickly,” Garcetti said, adding that the decisions were made at the state and county levels, not by city officials.

The mayor said Los Angeles was “on the brink” of new widespread stay-at-home orders as Los Angeles County, with a quarter of California’s population, continued to see the state’s largest increase in confirmed coronavirus cases.

California reported its fourthhighest daily total of newly confirmed coronavirus cases Saturday, with more than 9,000. The state also reported an additional 120 deaths.

Garcetti said recently he wouldn’t hesitate to again shut down all but essential businesses.

Those comments came days after California Gov. Gavin Newsom shut bars and indoor dining statewide, and ordered closures of hair salons, gyms, malls and other indoor businesses in Los Angeles and other counties experiencing the most significant surge of virus cases.

Garcetti told CNN’s Jake Tapper Sunday that Los Angeles currently has adequate hospital capacity a good supply of ventilators.

Los Angeles County reported a record-high number of COVID-19 patients in its hospitals last week, and the overall share of tests that have come back positive jumped from 8% to nearly 10%.

The mayor attributed the increase in spread not just to the reopenings, but also to people becoming less vigilant about following public health guidance and gathering with others outside their households.

“It’s not just what’s open and closed,” he said. “It’s also about what we do individually.”

Officials have reiterated that people must wear masks and maintain social distancing to slow

the spread.

In other news about the outbreak in California, officials said a rare but serious and potentially deadly inflammatory syndrome believed to be associated with the coronavirus has been identified in 15 children in Los Angeles County.

Multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children, or MIS-C, can cause different parts of the body to become inflamed. Symptoms include fever, vomiting, diarrhea, neck pain, rash, bloodshot eyes and exhaustion. Of the children, 73% were Latino, representing a disproportionate burden for the ethnic group, the Los Angeles Times said.

Merced County in central California has not conducted contact tracing for weeks, according to the Merced Sun-Star. Kristyn Sullivan, the county’s supervising epidemiologist, said the county is now only doing case investigations – reaching out to infected people to tell them to quarantine, but not asking about their close contacts or all the places they’ve been recently. She said that interviewing people about their contacts has become ineffective because there are too many cases. CalMatters reached out to 27 California

counties with rising infections to ask about their extent of contact tracing. Merced was the only one that confirmed in June that it was no longer conducting it at all, although six did not respond. The other 21 said they were tracing most people or at least some.

Napa County north of San Francisco will start fining people who don’t wear masks from $25 to

$500. County supervisors passed an ordinance recently that would also impose fines of up to $5,000 for businesses that receive repeated complaints of people not wearing face coverings. The citations are a last resort only for repeat offenders and will be issued by code enforcement employees, not law enforcement officers, KPIXTV said.

County’s jobless rate dips, but poises to rise again as coronavirus resurges City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The unemployment rate in Riverside County in June dipped slightly out of record-high territory to 14.8% as public health measures were eased, according to figures released Friday, July 17, but with coronavirus cases resurging across the country, those measures have been reimposed.

The jobless rate in June, based on preliminary estimates, was about a percentage point lower than the 15.9% rate reported in May, according to the California Employment Development Department.

The June rate was about 10% higher than the year-ago level, when countywide unemployment stood at 4.4%.

The EDD’s online database, which supplies regional metrics that begin in January 1990, indicated in April that the last time the jobless rate was close to the current mark was in July 2010, when 14.5% of the county workforce was unemployed at the tail end of the Great Recession.

About 162,300 residents were out of work in June, and 936,900 were employed, according to the EDD. Statewide this week, unemployment claims jumped to their

highest level in two months, an indicator that the renewed coronavirus-related lockdown is reversing the economic recovery that began gaining momentum last month.

“We always knew that controlling the virus was central to the economic recovery, so it’s truly gut-wrenching to watch a new wave of cases trigger this step back in the reopening of businesses and other public places,” Taner Osman of the Center for Economic Forecasting, said.

Locally, Desert Hot Springs had the highest unemployment rate countywide at 22.6%, followed by the unincorporated community of

East Hemet at 21.8% and Highgrove at 21.6%.

The combined unemployment rate for Riverside and San Bernardino counties in June was 14.3%, down from 14.9% in May, officials said.

Bi-county data indicated payrolls shrank by the widest margin last month in the financial services sectors, which shed 1,200 jobs.

The public sector also continued to be in the red, with a loss of 300 jobs.

Center for Economic Forecasting researchers said recently that the strain on public budgets from revenue losses will likely lead to further job losses in the govern-

ment sector.

On the other hand, the leisure and hospitality industry, hit hard by the lockdowns, saw the largest job growth, adding 21,000 jobs in June. The growth was largely driven by accommodation and food services, a trend that could be short-lived due to renewed pandemic restrictions on commercial activity.

The trade, transportation and utilities sector also saw a large gain of 11,400 jobs.

The state’s jobless rate in June was 15.1%.

UCR study finds coronavirus resurgence will further delay economic recovery City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The economic recovery that had begun to gain momentum as coronavirus shutdowns were eased has sputtered in light of a new wave of public health measures prompted by the virus resurging across the country, according to a report released Thursday, July 16, by University of California Riverside.

The analysis found that employment in the Inland Empire was already down 12% as of May. Even so, the region performed slightly better than Orange County, which was down 15%; Los Angeles County, down 13%, and the state as a whole, down 13%.

One bright spot has been the logistics sector, which was the only major sector to have expanded in the region on a year-over-year basis, adding 2,600 jobs in the Inland Empire since the stay-at-home

CAREERS from page C-3 over the other. But that has its own drawbacks, lowering her comfort level and leading to headaches and dizziness, she said. Hung said the doubled-up mask led to a drop in her oxygen level, and she had to administer herself oxygen.

“The new normal is uncomfortable, so how can health professionals provide the same quality of care if they are uncomfortable while they are doing it?” she asked.

Answers may be difficult to come by, but Hung and others offered suggestions.

Health care workers must not neglect themselves, which isn’t easy for people who devote their lives to the care of others, she said.

“We’re supposed to be the strong ones,” Hung said.

But the American Medical Association reminded front-line health professionals that they are just as vulnerable to the negative mental health effects of the pandemic as anyone.

“Attending to your mental health and psychosocial well-

orders began, researchers said.

The sector has benefited from a consumer shift to online spending, but could soon take a hit as well.

While disposable personal income fell nationally by 4.9% in May, consumption increased 8.2%, largely buoyed by stimulus checks and unemployment benefits.

But with the federal stimulus measures set to expire at the end of the month, the economy could see an even bigger contraction.

Already, some industries have experienced devastating effects.

Among the hardest hit has been the leisure and hospitality sector, which lost 6.3 million jobs across the country since March, accounting for roughly 37% of all jobs lost, researchers said. They also noted that any recent gains made when the stay-at-home orders were relaxed may be lost or significantly reduced by the lockdown being reinstituted.

“We always knew that controlling the virus was central to the economic recovery, so it’s truly gut-wrenching to watch a new wave of cases trigger this step back in the reopening of businesses and other public places,” Taner Osman, research manager at the university’s Center for Economic Forecasting and one of the report’s authors, said.

Already, 2.2 million workers were added to the state’s unemployment ranks from May 2019 to May 2020, according to the report.

And more people might soon be out of a job. The researchers forecast that the strain on public budgets from revenue losses will lead to job losses in the government sector.

Three-quarters of the workers in the state who have already been laid off expected to return to their jobs when business reopened, but that process will now be drawn out

being while caring for patients is as important as managing your physical health,” according to the AMA Those on the front lines should be open about their concerns.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended health care personnel communicate with their co-workers, supervisors and employees about job stress.

“Talk openly about how the pandemic is affecting your work,” according to the CDC. “Identify factors that cause stress and work together to identify solutions.”

The public can help by wearing masks.

The CDC recommended the general public wear masks when out and about, and Hung agreed.

“Wearing any mask, including cloth masks, is still the best way to protect yourself and others,” she said.

Use of masks can help slow the spread of COVID-19, the CDC said, which in turn will ease some of the burden on those overwhelmed health workers.

“We as health care providers

put our health at risk to treat the public,” Hung said. “It’s important to share responsibilities so that everyone can be protected.”

According to the analysis, the recovery that was somewhat underway in May was occurring more slowly in California than in

the nation as a whole, likely due to other states reopening faster than California.

Researchers do not expect California to regain all its lost jobs until the end of 2021.

County approves law enforcement services agreement with De Luz CSD Joe Naiman WRITER

Riverside County has approved a law enforcement services agreement for the De Luz Community Services District.

A 5-0 Riverside County Board of Supervisors vote Tuesday, July 14, approved the law enforcement services agreement between the county and the De Luz CSD. The county will supply one deputy sheriff to provide law enforcement services to the De Luz Community Services District. Based on hourly rates, mileage rates and a facilities

charge, the district will reimburse the county $269,200. The district also has the option of increasing the level of service, which can occur if the district’s property owners vote for that increased level of service.

The De Luz Community Services District was called the Santa Rosa Community Services District when it was formed in November 1978, and the name was changed in 2007 to reflect other communities. It encompasses approximately 20,000 acres in the Santa Rosa Plateau area.

Riverside County home prices set to grow amid coronavirus pandemic City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Home prices in Riverside County have shown little impact from the coronavirus pandemic and are poised to tick up in the coming months, according to a study released recently.

The Zillow Group’s analysis found that the county’s median sale price in May was $383,068, 3.8% higher than the same month a year ago.

A tight market that is seeing homes being snatched up in record time helps explain the trend, researchers said.

“As surprising as it might have seemed at the time, sellers who forged ahead with listing their homes this spring were richly rewarded, when buyers buoyed by record-low mortgage rates flooded their listings with offers,” Zillow economist Jeff Tucker said.

According to Zillow, new listings of the most expensive homes in the county were down 20.8% year-over-year and new listings of the most affordable homes were 25.6% below last year’s levels.

But listings are expected to bounce back in the coming months.

“Now, word is getting out that the housing market is on solid ground, so more listings are belatedly rushing to market, extending the busy spring shopping season well into summer,” Tucker said.

He noted that first-time homebuyers are driving demand for what is a very limited supply.

Nationally, the median home price grew 4.6% in May compared to the year before, down from 5.3% in April, according to Zillow.

Researchers attributed the slowdown to a change in the types of homes on the market and expect the sale price growth rate to climb back up soon.

Trump to send federal agents to Chicago, maybe other cities

President Donald Trump is planning to deploy federal agents to Chicago and possibly other Democrat-run cities as he continues to assert federal power and use the

Department of Homeland Security in unprecedented, politicized ways.

DHS is slated to send about 150 Homeland Security Investigations agents to Chicago to help local law enforcement deal with a spike in crime, according to an official with direct knowledge of the plans who

spoke on condition of anonymity because the official wasn’t authorized to speak publicly.

The agents, which are generally used to conduct investigations into human trafficking, drugs and weapons smuggling, were expected to stay in Chicago at least two months, according to the official.

It’s not clear exactly how they will back up local law enforcement or when they will arrive, but they will make arrests for federal crimes, not local ones.

It’s possible they may be deployed to other locations as well.

A representative for Homeland Security said the department does not comment on “allegedly leaked operations.”

In a tweet Sunday, July 19, Trump blamed local leaders for violence in Chicago and other cities.

“The Radical Left Democrats, who totally control Biden, will destroy our country as we know it. Unimaginably bad things would happen to America,” Trump tweeted, referring to his likely Democratic opponent in the upcoming election, Joe Biden. “Look at Port-

land, where the pols are just fine with 50 days of anarchy. We sent in help. Look at New York, Chicago, Philadelphia. NO!” The move is Trump’s latest effort to use an agency – created after the Sept. 11 attacks to protect the country from terrorists’ threats – to supplement local law enforcement in ways that have alarmed critics.

Trump has already deployed agents to Portland under the mantle of protecting federal buildings from protesters, drawing intense criticism from local leaders who say they have only exacerbated tensions.

Homeland Security agents have also been deployed to the U.S.Mexico border along with National Guard troops during the crisis there.

But with the border largely shuttered because of the coronavirus and the number of illegal crossings plummeting, Trump has now turned the department onto what he sees as a threat within the U.S. and one that similarly plays to his base: Violence following police reform protests that have rocked the nation since the death of George Floyd in the custody of Minneapolis police.

In June, federal authorities in riot gear used rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse crowds from Lafayette Square so the president could walk across the plaza and shoot a photo with a Bible outside a church. That land is federal property. But Portland and Chicago are not, though agents are supposed to be guarding federal buildings and other federal property.

In Chicago, the president of the local police officer’s union wrote Trump a letter asking “for help from the federal government” to help combat gun violence. The city has seen 414 homicides this year, compared with 275 during the same period last year, and a spate of shootings in recent weeks as cities around the country have seen an uptick in violence.

But Chicago’s Mayor Lori Lightfoot has said she does not want Trump to send agents to Chicago.

In Kansas City about two weeks ago, the Trump administration sent more than 100 federal law enforcement officers to help quell a rise in violence after the shooting death of a young boy there.

Head of the line: Big companies got coronavirus relief loans first Joyce M. Rosenberg THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ever since the U.S. government launched its emergency lending program for small businesses, April 3, there have been complaints that bigger companies had their loans approved and disbursed more quickly.

There is now evidence to back up those complaints.

An analysis by The Associated Press of the Small Business Administration’s $659 billion Paycheck Protection Program showed that nearly a third of the loans approved in the program’s first week ranged from $150,000 to $10 million, the maximum allowed. In a second round of funding that began April 27, such loans made up just 7.4% of the total.

The average loan size fell from $257,240 April 10 to nearly $105,000 as of July 17, according to the SBA. The Paycheck Protection Program made very low-interest loans available to any business – or any franchisee of a business – with under 500 employees. The loans would be forgiven, if most of the money was used to keep employees on payroll.

Larger companies with connections to major national or regional banks got priority treatment in the program’s initial phase, the data showed, while many smaller businesses said they were turned away because the banks required them to have a checking account, a credit card and a previous loan to be considered.

Some small businesses submitted an application but then heard nothing. Small restaurants, retailers and other companies most in need were left waiting and unable to pay their employees, landlords or vendors.

Many learned not from their bank but via news reports that the initial $349 billion in funding had run out in less than two weeks.

“The program was structured to take advantage of existing banking relationships that favored established businesses,” John Arensmeyer, the CEO of the advocacy group Small Business Majority, said. “It was not designed for very small businesses.”

It’s not clear how many small companies have failed because of the pandemic. A survey conducted for the National Bureau of Economic Research by researchers at Harvard University, the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois found 2% of small businesses surveyed had shut down permanently in March, just after the pandemic hit the U.S. In theory, that means 100,000 of U.S. small businesses closed their doors before the Paycheck Protection Program was even launched.

Andrew Cao applied for a $72,500 loan for his digital marketing company with 10 full-time and part-time employees the day after the first round opened.

Cao submitted his application to Bank of America, where his company had been a customer for 10 years. Cao got two phone calls telling him he should submit his documentation, which he already had done, but could get no information on his loan.

“When we heard the funds were exhausted, I said, ‘Are you serious?”

We tried to do everything we could – we submitted papers, contacted the bank and then nothing,’” Cao, coowner of Motoza, based in Austin, Texas, said.

Cao submitted an application through a small local bank two days before the first round ended. Motoza got its loan a few days after the program’s April 27 reopening.

The Paycheck Protection Program, which still has more than $130 billion available, is a key part of the government’s coronavirus relief plan. It’s credited with supporting

the job market when millions of workers have been laid off. The data released by the SBA July 6 does show that by June 30, 85% of the Paycheck Protection Program loans had been for less than $150,000.

Still, the AP analysis showed that early on some of the nation’s biggest banks were quickly approving loans for larger customers before ramping up their volume of smaller loans. In the first week, 27% of the 4,231 loans JPMorgan Chase made were over $1 million. Chase, the nation’s largest bank and the biggest Paycheck Protection Program lender through June 30, processed 243,427 loans in the second round of funding; only half a percent were $1 million or more.

Among other big banks, nearly 18% of the 1,185 loans TD Bank made the first week were over $1 million, as were 13% of Truist’s 7,143 loans. PNC made just 675 loans in the first week, but 40% were above $1 million.

At Chase, each of four divisions handled their clients’ loans separately, representative Patricia Wexler said. It included its commercial banking division; among its customers are larger small and midsize businesses.

“There was no prioritization of one business line over another.

Each business processed applications generally sequentially in the order in which the clients applied,” Wexler said.

Truist representative Kyle Tarrance said, “Applications were handled through a single application portal made available to clients on a first-come, first-served basis, without any preference given to any client, including larger or more affluent clients.”

PNC said in a statement, “Several factors may have affected the processing speed of individual applications. For example, loans that were incomplete necessarily took

longer to process.”

The bank also noted that the SBA did not begin accepting applications from self-employed individuals and independent contractors, whose loan amounts were among the smallest, until a week into the program.

TD Bank did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Bigger loans are typically prepared by a team of finance officers and accountants using sophisticated software, while small companies might not have such polished applications that take more time to review. Familiarity with wellestablished customers can expedite the application process. And from the banks’ perspective, it’s good business to take care of their biggest customers.

Although the evidence points to big loans going to the head of the line at banks, it’s not clear what happened once applications entered the SBA system. The SBA did not respond to a request for comment.

At the start, only established SBA lenders could take applications,

limiting businesses’ ability to apply. The government did eventually bring online lenders, credit unions and more community banks into the fold. But “it may have been too late for who knows how many small businesses,” Karen Kerrigan, president of the advocacy group Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council, said.

Jane Gideon applied for a loan for her publicity firm the day the Paycheck Protection Program began but was left waiting when the initial funds ran out.

“When it didn’t come through the first time, I knew what was happening. The wealthy and connected had priority because they have the relationships that put them at the front of the queue,” Gideon, owner of San Francisco-based Incendio International, said.

She didn’t hear until April 29 that her loan was approved.

Pompeo: US foreign policy grounded in unalienable rights Ella Kietlinska THE EPOCH TIMES

The Trump administration’s foreign policy is focused on the national security of America, religious freedom and is “100% pro-life,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said during a speech given at The Family Leader Summit held Friday, July 17, in West Des Moines, Iowa.

“Our founders built our country on a commitment to essential rights, unalienable rights … that come from these amazing documents, our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution, and our nation’s foreign policy must be grounded in those central understandings,” Pompeo said.

National security National security is “the first duty of any government” as understood by the Founding Fathers and it is also “the highest priority of any Secretary of State, and certainly for President (Donald) Trump as well,” Pompeo said, adding, “I wish some mayors across America knew that too.”

The main threats to national security that the United States faces today are China “working to take down freedom all across the world,” Russia trying to “poison our democracy, our institutions” and using disinformation “to sow discord “ in

America, and Iran with its “desire to spread the Islamic Revolution all over the Middle East,” Pompeo said.

Before administrations underestimated the real threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party, Pompeo said, adding that for many years foreign policy thinkers have believed that “the more we traded with China, the more free that nation would become and the less risk they would be to the American people.”

However, the foreign policy based on this assumption failed, with the CCP’s continued threats toward Taiwan, its undermining of Hong Kong’s freedom and ongoing severe violations of the human rights of its people, Pompeo said.

The Trump administration recognized the fact that the CCP’s policies put Americans at risk, Pompeo said, and took action to counter its efforts to “crush the world’s freedom.”

Examples of such counteraction are the imposition of sanctions and travel restrictions on CCP officials, countering the regime’s propaganda about the cover-up of the CCP virus, which first emerged in the central Chinese city of Wuhan and revising agreements with Hong Kong, Pompeo said.

The administration is also working on putting an end to China’s theft of American intellectual property and making better trade deals

with China, as stipulated in Phase 1 of the U.S.-China trade agreement.

The policy on Iran has also fundamentally changed, Pompeo said. The United States withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal signed by the previous administration that provided the Iranian regime with money to continue to fund terrorism, posing a risk to the United States and the Middle East region, he said.

The “brand-new Iran policy” implemented by the Trump administration deprives the Iranian regime of “blood money,” “diplomatic sanctuary” and “deters the regime from aggression,” he said.

Defending religious freedom Pompeo said that he was proud of the work the administration has done to defend religious freedom.

Today, “four out of five people around the world don’t enjoy full religious freedom,” Pompeo said.

The State Department instituted in 2018 the annual Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom, where world political and religious leaders convene to discuss the challenges faced by religious believers, devise ways to combat religious persecution and discrimination, and to increase respect for freedom of religion or belief, according to a State Department statement.

For the last year, the Ministerial was “the largest human rights

conference ever held at the State Department,” Pompeo said.

The State Department has also established training programs on religious freedom for foreign service officers, he added.

The administration especially criticized “China’s war on faith,” Pompeo said. Last year in August, Vice President Mike Pence met with representatives of three religious groups persecuted in China – Christians, practitioners of Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong and Uyghurs and Uyghur Muslims – along with other advocates for religious freedom.

Trump and Sam Brownback, the U.S. ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom, met with survivors of religious persecution of different faiths from 17 countries including China, North Korea, Iran, Pakistan, Myanmar, Sudan and Cuba.

Trump spent “almost half an hour asking them very personal questions, hearing stories of burned homes and of imprisoned family members and reaffirming the American commitment to religious freedom,” Pompeo said.

“This administration appreciates and knows that our rights come from God, not government,” Pompeo said.

On July 20, the 21st anniversary

of the start of the CCP’s campaign cruel campaign to eradicate Falun Gong, Pompeo called on “the PRC government to immediately end its depraved abuse and mistreatment of Falun Gong practitioners, release those imprisoned due to their beliefs such as Ma Zhenyu, and address the whereabouts of missing practitioners,” according to a statement.

Ma Zhenyu is the husband of Dr. Yuhua Zhang, who joined the 2019 Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom and described how she was imprisoned and tortured for her belief, Pompeo recalled in the statement. Zhang advocated at the ministerial for her husband who “has endured imprisonment and months of torture because he refuses to renounce his Falun Gong beliefs,” Pompeo said.

“Twenty-one years of persecution of Falun Gong practitioners is far too long, and it must end,” Pompeo said.

Falun Gong is a spiritual discipline that includes meditative exercises and a set of moral teaching based on the principles of truthfulness, compassion and tolerance.

Prepare the family pets for wildfire evacuation LOS ANGELES – It’s wildfire season in California, and everyone should be prepared to evacuate their home if needed – but don’t forget Fluffy. The American Red Cross Los Angeles Region reminded pet owners that their furry friends are dependent on them for their safety during an emergency. The family’s disaster plans must include pets, and suggested several steps families can take to help keep their beloved pets safe.

“The best way to protect your household from a disaster is to have a plan and making sure to include your pets can save time during an emergency and minimize confusion,” Guillermo Sanchez, preparedness and resiliency manager for the American Red Cross in Los Angeles, said. “We should plan for pets just like we would plan for people, setting aside emergency supplies and making sure we know a safe place to take our pets in case of an evacuation.”

When it’s not safe for people to be at home, it’s not safe for pets either. Make an evacuation plan that includes everyone at home and their pets. Many hotels and shelters do not accept animals, so plan ahead when making overnight plans. And, when packing a disaster kit, assemble one for family pet too.

Create an emergency plan for the family pet.

Include pets in the family disaster plan. Take these five things into consideration.

Know which hotels and motels along the evacuation route will accept pets in an emergency. Call ahead for reservations if possible.

Ask if “no pet” policies could be waived in an emergency. Most Red Cross shelters cannot accept pets because of health and safety concerns and other considerations.

Service animals that assist people with disabilities are allowed in Red Cross shelters.

Know which friends, relatives, boarding facilities, animal shelters or veterinarians can care for the family’s animals in an emergency.

Prepare a list with phone numbers.

may be more comfortable together, be prepared to house them separately, if necessary.

Include pets in evacuation drills so that they become used to entering and traveling in their carriers calmly.

Make sure that each pet’s vaccinations are current and that all dogs and cats are wearing collars with securely fastened, up-to-date identification. Many pet shelters require proof of current vaccinations to reduce the spread of disease. Consider having pets “microchipped” by the veterinarian.

Assemble an emergency kit for each pet.

Keep items in an accessible place and store them in sturdy containers so that they can be carried easily.

Pack sturdy leashes, harnesses and/or carriers to transport pets safely and ensure that they can’t escape.

Include food, drinking water, bowls, cat litter/pan and a manual can opener if a pet eats canned food.

Medications and copies of medical records can be stored in a waterproof container with a first-aid kit.

Add current photos of the family with the pet in case they get lost.

Since many pets look alike, it will help to eliminate mistaken identity and confusion.

Remember to record a pet’s feeding schedule, medical conditions,

behavior problems and the name and number of the local veterinarian in case they go into foster care.

Pack the pet beds and toys, if easily transportable.

DHS enters Portland to defend federal buildings and people

Julie Reeder PUBLISHER

Do violent riots and mobs even shock us anymore?

The cost is $400 million in the 20 largest metropolitan areas according to an estimate from the Anderson Economic Group. According to published reports, thousands of innocent business owners across the country have been illegally stripped of their livelihood and/ or beat within an inch of their life.

Cities across the country are being ravaged by rioters and looters who are criminals and terrorists by definition. The definition of terrorism from Brittanica is the calculated use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective.

They may have a social justice message, but it’s lost in the violence that hurts the very people they claim to support.

And the mainstream media is complicit; most not offering a complete picture of the violence that is happening.

Portland, Oregon, is the latest city in the spotlight.

Portland has been experiencing violence for about 53 days as of the writing of this piece. According to numerous news reports, rioters began vandalizing businesses and

buildings in Portland May 29. As with Seattle, the mayor did little to protect the city. The first target was the Mark O. Hatfield U.S. Courthouse where rioters caused $5,000 worth of damage according to the Department of Homeland Security.

According to numerous published reports, both Seattle and Portland openly rejected the offer of federal reinforcements to bring order and safety to their cities.

Meanwhile in nearby Boise, Idaho, a large group of protestors left the city peacefully after some 3,000 citizens arrived on the scene hoping to protect their city.

In Kansas City, Missouri, the mayor and governor asked for assistance after a 40% increase in crime. A release from the Justice Department Wednesday evening described the new program as “a sustained, systematic and coordinated law enforcement initiative across all federal law enforcement agencies working in conjunction with state and local law enforcement officials to fight the sudden surge of violent crime” that would start in Kansas City.

Back in Portland, over the next 50-plus days, vandals and demonstrators, many apparently identifying with the Black Lives Matter movement, defaced several other buildings including the Hatfield Courthouse and the Edith GreenWendell Wyatt Federal Building and the police station. There was an estimated $25 million in damages, according to numerous reports from The Associated Press.

According to DHS, the rioters came back night after night breaching, destroying and removing fences around federal properties, breaking windows at the courthouse and other buildings and removing wood from windows of the federal buildings.

“Rioters launched watch rockets injuring an officer -Rioters bar-

ricaded officers inside Hatfield Courthouse then launched commercial grade explosive fireworks at the building, attempting to injure or kill officers,” a tweet from an unidentified DHS representative said.

Rioters also set fires at the federal courthouse and in Chapman Park. Threats to burn down buildings were reported, several rioters were reportedly carrying rifles and one person tried to strike a Portland police officer with his car, according to published reports.

There were commercial-grade lasers used to try and cause eye damage to police officers as well as officers being targeted with fireworks, hammers, canned food and one person was arrested with a pipe bomb, according to DHS. Rioters injured two police officers July 5, and on what is being called a “Night of Rage” according to DHS, a mob of about 500 rioters assaulted law enforcement officers July 7. That night an estimated 200 participants pursued officers and assaulted them with rocks and bottles. About 200 rioters attacked DHS law enforcement officers July 8, injuring three, the agency said.

Authorities reported one arrest.

The next night, records show police arrested five on charges of assaulting officers. A mob of about 200 gathered in Chapman Park across from the Hatfield Courthouse July 12, some armed with sledgehammers, tasers and stun guns. DHS said participants “launched fireworks, threw fecal matter and large objects and pointed lasers at federal law enforcement officers attempting to permanently blind them.”

This activity continued the next night, with slingshots and flaming debris added to the mix, authorities said. Fireworks and spray-painting followed on subsequent nights.

After 50 days of this escalation,

President Donald Trump sent in DHS to defend federal buildings and employees, a move which falls under DHS’s required responsibilities.

Unlike the mayor of Seattle who decided to go in and clean up the Capitol Hill Occupation Protest area just before federal law enforcement arrived, the mayor of Portland decried DHS law enforcement coming in to protect federal buildings and personnel yet did not handle the situation himself.

Trump has been openly critical of the Democratic led cities like Seattle, Portland, Chicago and New York where the mobs have done hundreds of millions of dollars in damage. Crime rates have gone up as much as 300% in Chicago and New York City.

The Portland police union building was set on fire Saturday night, yet the next day at a news conference, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler said, “Keep your troops in your own buildings, or have them leave our city.” He warned others saying, “This could happen in your city.”

The mayor said that the president has a “complete misunderstanding” and that despite almost two months of violence in Portland that it’s the DHS “escalating the violence.”

There has been controversy over several arrests of people suspected of assault and other crimes when those people were allegedly pulled into vans to make the arrests and be questioned.

Democratic Gov. Kate Brown said Trump is looking for a confrontation in the hopes of winning political points elsewhere and to serve as a distraction from the coronavirus pandemic, which is causing spiking numbers of infections in Oregon and the nation.

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., has also complained about Trump’s

“occupying army.”

Chad Wolf, acting secretary of DHS, issued a public statement Thursday, July 16, available online at https://www.dhs.gov/newsreleases/press-releases.

“A federal courthouse is a symbol of justice – to attack it is to attack America,” Wolf said. “Instead of addressing violent criminals in their communities, local and state leaders are instead focusing on placing blame on law enforcement and requesting fewer officers in their community.”

Wheeler did not meet with Wolf, who has been critical of local and state leaders in Portland, in person. But, according to a tweet from Wheeler, he spoke to Wolf by phone earlier in the week, telling Wolf that he wanted federal officers out of the city, but asked DHS to clean up the graffiti on local federal facilities.

Wolf said July 16, the failed response by leadership “has only emboldened the violent mob as it escalates violence day after day.

This siege can end if state and local officials decide to take appropriate action instead of refusing to enforce the law.”

The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Protective Service’s mission statement clearly states the division’s responsibility is to “prevent, protect, respond to and recover from terrorism, criminal acts, and other hazards threatening the U.S. Government’s critical infrastructure, services, and the people who provide or receive them.

“DHS will not abdicate its solemn duty to protect federal facilities and those within them,” Wolf said.

Regardless of people’s complaints against them, DHS is simply doing what they are paid to do.

You’re right, all lives should matter – but they don’t in America

Jeff Pack STAFF WRITER

Denying the fact that Black Americans have been disproportionately discriminated against continually and systematically for the last several hundred years is willfully ignorant to a staggering level.

I shouldn’t have to break it all down for the people denying the movement is valid and appropriate, simply because they choose to live with their heads in the sand, surrounded by the information and experiences that have comforted them for their entire lives.

But here we are. Because only people with an agenda would work so hard to become the victim of a crime happening to someone else.

They live suspended in a pool of party-line talking points and are nourished by media outlets that look like them, think like them, pray like them that exist to feed their narrow, closeted beliefs.

They see people setting cars on fire in communities far away from their own and become enraged by the action. They call it unAmerican, they call for a strong reaction from leadership and law enforcement.

They make claims that the country is crumbling because of these protests – they say there’s a “better way.”

But the simple fact is their “better way” is not available to everyone else – and that is the idea behind “White privilege.” White people have the ability to act upon certain issues, confront certain powers that be, challenge instances of injustice – whereas countless others do not.

Those with the inability to recognize that their perspective is sheltered by their own design and their opinion skewed by the limitations

of their chosen experiences, speaks volumes about the narcissism and entitlement that’s been ingrained into the fabric of their identity for generations.

You’re right, all lives should matter.

But they don’t – not when it comes to the American justice system.

Did you know that statistically, according to The Sentencing Project, Black Americans are “incarcerated in state prisons across the country at more than five times the rate of Whites, and at least 10 times the rate in five states.”

And before the simplified argument comes this way, according to a University of Michigan 2017 report on Race and Wrongful Convictions in the United States, Blacks constitute “47% of the 1,900 exonerations listed in the National Registry of Exonerations (as of October 2016).”

According to the same study, based on exoneration statistics, innocent black people are about seven times more likely to be convicted of murder than innocent White people, and the study showed that Blacks in prison for murder are more likely to be exonerated if they were convicted of killing White victims. While only 15% of Black murder convictions involve White victims, 31% of all exonerations were in cases where Black people were convicted of killing a White person.

The 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health reported that 17 million Whites and 4 million Blacks reported using drugs within the past month, and while Blacks and Whites use drugs at similar rates, the rate at which Blacks are brought up on drug charges is almost six times that of Whites.

According to the NAACP, if Blacks and Hispanics were incarcerated at the same rates as whites, prison and jail populations would decline by almost 40%.

You’re right. All lives should matter.

But they don’t – not when it comes to being killed by law enforcement.

On average, according to The Washington Post, law enforcement officers shot and killed roughly 1,000 people every year since 2015. Of those people killed by an on-duty cop in 2015, 732 of them were White, 381 were Black and

382 were of another or unknown race.

When you consider again that more than three-quarters of the U.S. population is White and less than 14% of the population is Black, it reinforces – again – that Blacks are killed disproportionately more than Whites. Period.

A Stanford University study took a look at 93 million traffic stops by 21 state patrol and 29 police departments from 2001 to 2017 that found that Black Americans were pulled over 20% more often than White Americans and searched more often, though the study found that the searches resulted in a higher hit rate during searches of Whites.

The study also looked at the rates at which Black Americans were pulled over after dark when it’s more difficult to determine the ethnicity of the driver. Guess what?

Stop rates decreased for Black drivers at night.

You’re right. All lives matter.

But they don’t – not when it comes to employment and economics.

There’s a great quote that I heard regarding this topic, shared by Jon Stewart but attributed to someone else, and to summarize, it reads, “While Black people were fighting for equality; White people were building equity.”

Black Americans have been employed at a rate between 11 and 15 percentage points lower than that of White Americans every month since 2000, according to Stanford University’s Center on Poverty and Inequality’s annual “State of the Union” report in 2017.

According to the Stanford report, in 2010, Black Americans averaged earnings 32% less in median income than their White counterparts, and data from the historical Survey of Consumer Finances, The Post reported that in 1968, “a typical middle-class Black household had $6,674 in wealth compared with $70,786 for the typical middleclass White household,” Fast forward to 2016 and you will find that a typical middle-class black household had $13,024 in wealth while the median household wealth for a White household was $149,703.

You’re right. All lives matter.

But they don’t – not when it comes to education.

According to the Georgetown

University Public Policy Institute, since 1995, 82% of new White enrollments have gone to the 468 most selective colleges, while 68% of new Black students went to two-year and four-year openaccess schools. The percentage gap between 1995 and 2009 increased by 4%.

Remember, it was only a little more than 50 years ago that many schools across the country were segregated. It means that many Black Americans between the ages of 55 and older started their educational lives hampered by the limitations of what their schools could offer. Their parents before them were provided even less in terms of education.

And then there’s “redlining.”

In the late 1930s, the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation, created “Residential Security” maps of major American cities so loan officers, appraisers and real estate professionals evaluated mortgage could determine lending risk and purposely deny or “redlined” areas access to capital investment. Those “redlined” areas were disproportionately in Black communities and resulted in less funding for schools.

If you just focus on those two generations, one would have to admit that the starting point for Black students and White students was not anywhere close to the same,

Answers for puzzle on B-2

not by a long shot.

You’re right. All lives matter.

But they can’t – until Black lives matter just as much.

That is the essence of what the movement is about.

I know, it’s very difficult to see people enraged by the treatment and bias they’ve been on the receiving end for generations. To see people marching for miles, putting their lives at risk to stand up to power for people they don’t even know. That’s emotional.

But let’s be realistic here.

Those “fears” you share about the fabric of our nation – they aren’t real. The fabric of our nation has been tattered and only slightly mended since the original sin of slavery was banished – and redirected to the prison system – from our country.

Nobody is saying that Black lives are more important, quite the contrary, they are saying that due to the systematic obstacles put in front of the Black community, they don’t matter as much.

That needs to change. That is the ask.

It’s not an insult. There’s no need to feel guilty about it, just do what you can for your fellow human being to advance their community as a whole to a level equal to yours.

Faith

Learn from Congregation B’nai Chaim: Be fearless

Hefsiba “Jen” Cohen SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

In this Torah portion, Devarim, Moses is talking to the Israelites and recapping the events that happened since they had been in the wilderness. It was 37 days before Moses died, and he repeated the Torah to the assembled nation of Israel – emphasizing the significant laws and events that

Israel experienced during the 40 years of dwelling in the wilderness. Moses admonished them for failures and encouraged them to keep the commandments of God, reminding them that they are about to receive an eternal inheritance – their Promised Land. It was one of the last times Moses would address this nation whom he loved as his own children.

In these first three chapters of Deuteronomy, an interesting repetition of a single theme seems to quietly emerge – the theme of fear.

In the first chapter, a Hebrew word for fear, “gur,” is used in the context of administering justice.

“You shall not be partial in judgment: hear out low and high alike. Fear no man, for judgment is God’s,” Deuteronomy 1:17.

Total impartiality is required for administering justice.

“Do not be intimidated of their

faces,” according to the verse.

Israel was to promote and institute justice regardless of social class or other attributes that could corrupt judgment.

In the next chapter, it speaks about fear in the context of respect and awe; see Deuteronomy 2:25.

God said he will put the fear of ancient Israel in the heart of the nations that surround them who were seeking to destroy them.

“This day I begin to put the dread and fear of you upon the peoples…” according to the verse.

The word for “fear” in this context – “yireh” – is also translated as “respect” or “reverence” and can build upon the concept mentioned in the previous chapter, where a people are most likely to be respected and revered when they fearlessly stand for justice.

In the third chapter of the reading, this word fear, or yireh, is used

twice in the context of having no fear in the face of enemies in Deuteronomy 3:2-22. How could Israel make a conscious choice not to fear enemies? Fear is a psychological reaction and is not a voluntary response. Israel is nevertheless told not to fear her enemies and is even told it twice for emphasis in the chapter. Fear must be possible to overcome or else this command would not exist here.

The best way to understand this last prohibition of fearing enemies builds upon the last two uses of “fear.” While we are certainly not ancient Israel and therefore must study the Torah in its intended historical context, nevertheless, it reveals timeless lessons for us today. Once we have courage to stand for what is right in the face of injustice, we are more likely to be respected by those around us.

When we are respectable repre-

sentatives of justice, we are more likely to be fearless against our enemies, knowing that we have God on our side.

“Do not fear them, for it is (HaShem) your God who will battle for you,” according to the passage.

We want to be fearless against the threats to our peace and happiness be they human or otherwise, but it takes steps to get there. With the Torah as our guide, striving for justice, including social justice, living in a way deserving of respect and most importantly, having trust in our God are first steps of true courage.

least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me,” in Matthew 25:40.

Now, this statement changes everything.

I think it’s time we took a new perspective on helping people. In our culture of self-convenience, it’s time for the church, the people of God, to rise up and show the world how it’s done. The church knows that “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends,” from John 15:13.

It can no longer be inconvenient, uncomfortable or too costly. It’s actually mandatory for anyone who professes the name of Christ.

Christians are his people, and as such, they are to live like their master.

ourselves,” even when it’s inconvenient, according to Matthew 22:39.

If Christians lose sight of what Jesus said was his second most important command, then they are really no better than animals. They are the ones who are to fulfill the golden rule of “do to others whatever you would like them to do to you,” from Matthew 7:12.

This life goal is precisely the example that Jesus modeled while he was on the earth. He came not to “be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many,” in Mark 10:45.

And it is precisely the life he calls us to live out. As he said in the parable of the good Samaritan, “Go and do likewise,” in Luke 10:37.

Now here is where it gets serious.

Jesus also said that when we love our neighbor, and our enemy for that matter, we are actually showing love toward him. Think of that!

While speaking on loving people, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the

embarrassing ordeal.

Later as she recounted the incident, what shocked her most was that only one person stopped to help. Several people were exiting the elevator, and a handful of people were waiting to get on. All of them witnessed a grandmother hit the ground. Most people gasped, but only one stopped to help the poor woman lying on the ground.

It was the classic situation of, “I’ve fallen and no one will help me up.”

With such a lack of compassion and love for their neighbor, one has to wonder what kind of world people are living in. Have they become so self-centered and so busy that they don’t have the heart, time or concern for a person, created in God’s image, to help them in their time of need? I hope not.

At the very least, this behavior should not be the case for the one who professes to be a follower of Christ. As Christians, it’s their Christ-like duty and privilege to “love our neighbor as we love

California kingsnakes are an integral part of Anza’s ecosystem Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

One of the most common – and harmless – reptilian residents in the Anza Valley is the California kingsnake.

This sleek serpent is also the state snake; California is mentioned in its scientific name – Lampropeltis californiae.

While plentiful in the forest, woodland, chaparral, grassland, marshes, deserts and brushy suburban areas, kingsnakes can be secretive, quietly hunting rodents, young birds, eggs, invertebrates, amphibians and other snakes. They are welcomed by area residents for their ability to overcome and eat rattlesnakes without harm, being immune to the rattlers’ venom.

Known as a powerful constrictor, the kingsnake coils tightly around its prey until it suffocates its prey.

California kingsnakes rarely grow larger than 48 inches in length. The most commonly observed sizes are 2.5 to 3.5 feet.

Hatchlings are about 12 inches long.

Kingsnakes are smooth and shiny with a head slightly wider than the neck. They can be highly variable in appearance, with patterns and colors ranging from alternating bands of black or

brown and white or light yellow, to striped, speckled and albino. Color differences and variants can occur in specific populations in different areas of the state.

Common kingsnakes are diurnal, moving and hunting during the day, but they can be active occasionally at night.

When disturbed, these snakes can emit a foul-smelling musk and defecate to deter predators.

Another defensive strategy that has been observed is the vibrating their tail, hissing and rolling into a ball, hiding the head and showing the vent with its lining exposed.

The life span of wild kingsnakes is thought to be a little more than 30 years; captive specimens live at least that long.

California kingsnakes are ovoviparous, meaning that they lay eggs that incubate and hatch. Mating generally occurs in the spring, when the snakes emerge from their hibernation period, called brumation.

Males have been observed fighting in competition for a female.

They lie stretched out with their bodies entwined, each one trying to get on top of the other to dominate his rival. They may resort to biting. After the stronger snake wins, the weaker one will crawl away or assume a submissive position with his head held flat against

California kingsnakes can come in many color combinations, from speckled or black or brown and white bands to this striped morph.

the ground.

In one to two months after breeding, female snakes lay three to 24 eggs, usually between May

and August. The eggs hatch in six to eight weeks.

Kingsnakes provide rodent and pest control in the high desert

chaparral environment.

New solar array to benefit low income AEC customers Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Grid Alternatives Inland Empire, a leader in making clean renewable energy and job training to low income communities, recently broke ground for a 1-megawatt solar electric system on the Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians reservation near Anza.

GRID IE was awarded a $2.05 million grant under the California Department of Community Services and Development Lowincome Weatherization Program, Community Solar Pilot Program for the project. The project will not only benefit the tribal community but will also provide $5.4 million in savings to benefit lowincome members of Anza Electric Cooperative, according to GRID Alternative officials.

AEC will offer bill credits to qualified low-income residents, enabling low income co-op members to significantly reduce their energy bills. They will also maintain full ownership and responsibility of the solar array and its output on the reservation. AEC is slated to do some electrical upgrades including installation of new power poles and transformers to support the influx of energy.

According to the agreement with AEC, approximately 38 qualified low-income Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indian tribal members and an additional 150-250 lowincome AEC members within the boundaries of the cooperative will receive a credit offsetting their electric bills.

“We are excited to break ground on California’s first low-income community solar project. The

partnership between the Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians, Anza Electric Cooperative and GRID Alternatives will provide clean energy, job training and bill savings to tribal members and the surrounding community who are not currently able to benefit from existing low-income solar programs. This is what makes this pilot community solar program so special, and we hope our success will provide a model for more community solar across California,” Jaime Alonso, executive director of GRID IE, said The first phase of the project included site grading and clearing, erosion control, surveying, location staking, receiving of piles and some racking materials and pile driving. The second week of the phase will include continuation of pile driving, trenching, AC/DC

sub work, receiving more equipment and materials and a site walk through to assess the progress.

According to Vanessa Lorrah, commercial project manager at the site, the project is expected to be complete in fall of 2020.

GRID IE serves Riverside, San Bernardino and Inyo counties, providing disadvantaged communities throughout the Inland Empire with long-term relief from unpredictable utility costs, while training more individuals for positions in the solar industry.

GRID’s tribal program helps tribal communities become selfsustaining by providing resources to assist with their clean energy goals. Renewable energy can drive economic growth and environmental benefits in communities including tribal reservations that are most impacted by underemployment,

pollution and climate change.

GRID Alternatives has regional offices and affiliates serving California, Colorado, the mid-Atlantic region and tribal communities nationwide, and GRID’s International program serves Nicaragua, Nepal and Mexico. Since its inception, GRID IE has installed solar for over 2,000 families and helped households and housing providers save $60 million in lifetime electricity costs, while training over 2,800 people. For more information, visit http://gridalternatives. org/ie or call 951-272-4743.

The Santa Rosa Indian Reservation occupies 11,630 acres of land.

NEOWISE from page AVO-1 visible in the night sky.

The space object is a retrograde comet with a near-parabolic orbit.

It was discovered March 27, by astronomers during the NEOWISE mission of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer space telescope. It has been determined that the comet has an orbital period of 6,766 years and is about 5 kilometers across in size.

Facing northwest just after sunset, the object was visible under the Big Dipper constellation. It was observed with the unaided eye.

This comet was not visible from the Southern Hemisphere. It gradually appeared higher in the sky each night.

Many photographers, expert, pro and amateur alike, attempted to capture the image of the space anomaly.

Local photographer Adrian Campos captured the comet as it traveled in the sky and shared his pictures to social media.

The comet will pass by Earth at a distance of 64 million miles, giving astronomers the opportunity to learn more about its composition and structure.

Riverside County chief probation officer wants more money to handle ‘surge’ of inmates slated for early release City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Riverside County could receive up to 500 of the 8,000 inmates due to be released early from state prisons under the governor’s penal system coronavirus mitigation plan, and the “surge” of additional parolees will be difficult to handle, the county’s chief probation officer told the county Board of Supervisors Tuesday, July 14.

“We’ve got things to work on and prepare for,” Ron Miller, chief probation officer of Riverside

County, said. “We need additional funding to manage the surge.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced recently that early releases will occur between now and the end of August, though counties have not been fully apprised of the exact numbers returning to their jurisdictions, according to Miller.

He said the Riverside County Department of Probation is estimating about 500 parolees who will be added to the rolls of those on post-release community supervision. The county is currently monitoring 1,894 PRCS “clients,”

Miller said.

According to the probation chief, the usual flow of inmates moving out of the state correctional system and into county supervision is 100 a month. However, last month, the number nearly doubled – an indication of the impact of the governor’s public health orders connected to the prisons.

Since March, more than 10,000 inmates have been automatically granted early parole under the stated goal of containing the spread of COVID-19. According to the California Department of Correc-

tions and Rehabilitation, there are roughly 2,300 active virus cases within the prison system, populated by about 113,000 inmates.

According to Department of Probation figures, the highest number of PRCS parolees are going into the cities of Hemet and Riverside.

Miller said the pending releases may negatively impact the county if they’re returning with infections, and the state has not been transparent on the number of ill individuals who may be among the ex-convicts.

According to the probation chief, the county will require higher Assembly Bill 109 Public Safety Realignment Act appropriations to manage the influx. But as of now, the amount of funding to the county has been slashed to 2014 levels, Miller said.

“We’re asking the state for more funding,” he said. “We need to assist this new group of clients coming into the community (with living expenses, health care expenses and job resources).”

DANA from page AVO-1 stand out of pallets, and when summer arrived, we decided to let her try her hand at selling some lemonade mix and a few of the extra vegetables that we had grown. We honestly didn’t expect much, if any, business for her, and we were fully prepared to console her at the end of the day.”

Dana said she was surprised by the amount of community support her daughter received upon opening the stand. Neighbors offered fresh lemons, and Avenly switched to serving fresh squeezed lemonade, investing her profits into buying a hand squeezer.

Refinements to the stand continued, as cups with lids and straws became standard and customers could adjust their drink’s tartness by adjusting the lemon to sugar water ratio for each order.

“It wasn’t long before we began getting requests for goodies to go along with the lemonade,” Dana said.

Wanting to be in compliance with all of the correct codes and regulations, Dana said she took the appropriate steps with the Riverside County Department of Environmental Health to obtain a food handler’s certificate and become a licensed cottage kitchen operation.

The stand’s baked goods have become favorite pairings with the custom beverages.

“Ultimately, our vision is to have large pumpkin and watermelon patches and to offer a lot more of our home-grown produce, along with our baked goods,” Dana said. “In a rural community like Sage, where your neighbors may be half a mile away, a spot to pull over and chat about the family or commiserate about the gophers that are wreaking havoc in our gardens, or even just be able to learn the names of those people you see at the mailbox every so often, all while enjoying a glass of lemonade, picking up a sweet summer watermelon or sharing a pie is desperately needed.”

The entire family has been very supportive, she said, and they are all proud of how hard Avenly has worked and the drive that she has shown. They have all offered to help out in any way that they can, from expanding her stand, to putting up signs, planting crops and helping with kitchen cleanup, Dana said.

“The community support has been incredible, and we are beyond grateful for the success that the

lemonade and farm stand have had.

The majority of our sales are from our regulars, who stop by almost every day that we are open for a cup of lemonade and some cookies or brownies to enjoy on the way home or to place a pie order. I honestly couldn’t even ballpark a number for sales, because it’s always been about building something that is worth more, in our opinion, than money.

Our profit margins are pretty small, because we want to keep everything affordable and enjoyable. We started as a country farm stand, and that is where we will always be rooted – even if our pies become “Julian” level famous,” Dana said. “She has served hundreds of customers in the past few weeks, and every one of them has offered a smile, a compliment and a warmth that has oftentimes left me in awe. We see so much divisiveness in the world today, so much fighting and anger, but all I have seen – since the day she poured her first glass of lemonade – was love, compassion and encouragement.”

Avenly Dana said she has learned so much from her teamwork with her mother.

“When you try hard and work hard, people want to help and support you,” she said. “I like making lemonade and baking, but my customers are my favorite part of the lemonade stand. I made so many new friends, and seeing them is the best. They encourage me and make me feel like I can do anything.”

Mother Lydia Dana and daughter Avenly Dana enjoy a lot of together time while operating the Dana Family Farms lemonade stand in Sage.

Whenever possible, Dana Farms bakes using locally sourced products like olive oil from Macala Orchards or produce from Broberg Family Farm. Lydia Dana said they believe in using products that are fresh and grown locally, as it not only makes for better tasting food but also helps support the local economy and small-business owners, which are so important in the mountain communities of Sage, Aguanga and Anza.

Dana Farms’ regular hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 2-5:30 p.m. Orders may also be placed by email at Danafamilyfarms@gmail.com, and they can make special pickup arrangements for baked goods outside their normal hours. The stand is located at 40370 Cactus Valley Road in Sage.

Can one judge nullify law with a stroke of a pen?

Harold W. Pease, Ph.D. SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The very thought of one unelected judge nullifying law with a stroke of a pen is unconscionable to most Americans but this practice has become common against the Trump administration, blocking the executive function of the government at least 37 times. Before him, it was 20 times against former President Barack Obama. When this action happens, it is called an injunction. Most are delayed for a time and overturned by a higher court. Consequently, President Donald Trump has had to ask for 20 emergency stays from the Supreme Court while these were resolved. No president has had to deal with such unconstitutional judicial overreach. It exceeds the combined number of all 42 presidents preceding him.

There are 663 Article 3 District Court judgeships across the country. Unfortunately, as practiced, any one of whom can issue a

BRONCO from page AVO-1 Defense and converted for use as air attack planes. These aircraft are replacing the Cessna O-2As that Cal Fire had been using as the air attack platform.

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

The OV-10As command and control all aircraft on wildland fires. The plane’s air crew consists of a pilot and an air tactical group supervisor. They provide tactical coordination with the groundbased incident commander, transmitting data and information on the movement and spread of the fire.

The crew directs air tanker and helicopter pilots on where to make

nationwide injunction against a federal government action.

These lower District Court judges have weaponized themselves against Trump with the complacency of Congress. In fact, it has become a major distortion of the separation of powers doctrine amplifying the judicial branch powers well beyond the Constitution and original intent. Not because Trump did anything particularly unconstitutional, but because one judge out of 663 across America said he had.

National injunction topics include: travel bans, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, immigration, border wall, census citizenship and the environment.

Some people call it judicial tyranny. Jefferson warned in 1820 that “to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional question (is) a very dangerous doctrine indeed and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.”

James Madison’s address to the Virginia Ratifying Convention of 1788 was specific to this silent danger, “There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpation,” according to Department of Justice records, “Assistant Attorney General Beth Williams Delivers Remarks on Nationwide Injunctions at the Heritage Foundation,” Feb. 4, 2019.

Judicial review by the Supreme Court of laws passed by Congress came about in 1803 with the Marbury v. Madison decision, fully 14 years after the Constitution was formed, thus wording nul-

their retardant and water drops to best fight the flames.

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

Painted in Cal Fire’s red and white color scheme, the plane often arrives at the fire before other resources, to report and direct.

The unique sound of the powerful twin engines alerts civilians on the ground of the threat of wildfire.

Often seen flying in the smoky skies, Cal Fire’s OV-10A Bronco 310 continues to be used in the battle to squelch Southern California wildland blazes.

lifying created law is not found in the Constitution. Imagine the Founding Fathers placing in the Constitution the power of a very few – now nine – to undo what the majorities of both the House and the Senate had agreed to, then signed by the president. Essentially the court gave itself the power to nullify what hundreds of legislators had agreed to. That judicial review has become sacrosanct by past practice as nobody opposed it enough to end it, it remains not actually in the Constitution – not even in a subsequent amendment – so let us try other constitutional remedies first, dealing with district judges, before challenging judicial review.

Actually District Court judges, those issuing the injunctions blocking presidential authority, are not in the Constitution as a permanent fixture either – only at the behest of Congress. Article III only created the Supreme Court but did authorize “such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.”

Thus in adjusting to the work load, Congress has the flexibility to enlarge or contract the District courts. Unfortunately, government seldom contracts.

Notice also in Article III the division of powers of the court into original and appellate jurisdictions. In original jurisdiction, they operate independent of the legislative or executive branches and these are listed as “all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls and those in which a state shall be party.”

While in appellate jurisdiction, essentially everything else, they

function under the direction of Congress “both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as Congress shall make.”

Such congressional oversight is now desperately needed. For instance, where did District Court judges get the authority to bypass the Supreme Court becoming proactive in stopping the executive branch of government from executing the law? Typically, the Supreme Court has to wait until someone challenges a law or “has standing,” a term used to suggest “harmed by legislation.” So the Supreme Court is a passive organization until called to action.

What the District Court judges are doing is initiating aggression on their own. Article III also authorizes Congress to impeach justices should their misbehavior be demonstrated. We suggest using it on District Court judges issuing injunctions.

Congress or the Supreme Court needs to remind the District Court judges that their power is limited to resolving single cases between specific parties who brought a case before them, not issuing national edicts restricting a president’s ability to function nationally within his executive authority.

Justice Clarence Thomas urged colleagues that “if federal courts continue to issue them, (the) Court is duty bound to adjudicate their authority to do so,” according to “Assistant Attorney General Beth Williams delivers remarks on Nationwide Injunctions at the Heritage Foundation,” Feb. 4, 2019.

The Supreme Court restricting itself should be the first option,

followed by Congress if still not satisfied.

The Founding Fathers gave the States one additional option for bringing any of the three branches of government back into line. It allows them to use the 10th Amendment of the Constitution to nullify the law in their state, but usage of this is a last resort when the two other branches of government are unwilling or unable to bring in line the rogue branch.

ALL TOGETHER NOW. Let’s face it. No one has had it easy during this pandemic.

Valley News is reporting from the front lines the local stories of COVID-19 and its painful shutdown. We thank our talented journalists.

But we’ve lost business, too. Like us, you’re probably saying enough is enough.

Let’s work together as businesses reopen. We’ve got the engaged audience to share your advertising messages. Our ad staff stands ready to help.

Newspapers are your best investment because we care most about local.
