Temecula city council members approved a resolution Tuesday, July 26, to establish an amount for the Parks and Lighting Services Special Tax, also known as Measure C, for fiscal year 2022-2023.

Measure C was approved by voters in June 1997. It authorized the Temecula Community Services District to assess and collect the Parks and Lighting Special Tax, which was expected to provide for the ongoing operations, maintenance and servicing of the city’s public parks, recreational facilities; recreational and human services programs; landscaped median maintenance costs and energy costs for arterial street lighting and traffic signals.

All property owners pay the tax, and the revenue based on the assessed rate from all taxable parcels within the city for fiscal year 2022-2023 is an estimated see COUNCIL, page A-2

Children make edible aquifers with help from Eastern Municipal Water District Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Educating its youngest consumers about water usage and safety, representatives from Eastern Municipal Water District held a summer children’s activity at Menifee Public Library Tuesday, July 26.

The event attracted about a dozen children for an afternoon ice cream break. Or so they thought.

When ingredients for a sweet parfait were placed in front of each child, the excitement began to grow. Oreo and chocolate chip cookies, vanilla and chocolate pudding, cups of vanilla ice cream, soda and chocolate chips tempted the children, but they followed directions and didn’t eat before they were told.

‘A Veteran’s Story – Courage and Honor’ features local veterans’ stories Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The new book, “A Veteran’s Story – Courage and Honor,” compiled by Raven Hilden and available in print and e-book, will be the centerpiece of a book signing with many of the 30 contributing veteran authors from Murrieta and Wildomar sponsored by MilVet Thursday, Aug. 11.

The book is an anthology written by 30 veterans, many known

in southwest Riverside County.

It is a salute to all veterans of all eras and military branches who have fought for the nation and risked their lives to protect freedom.

The contributors include active duty soldiers, Gold Star families, women in the military, Vietnam War veterans, combat veterans and peacetime veterans. Contributors include Riverside County Supervisor Chuck Washington, Hemet City Councilmember Joe

Their stories reflect on great loss, courage, challenges and honor, along with patriotism and love for their country.

Some of their stories have not been shared before. Proceeds from the book, available at Barnes & Noble, Walmart and Amazon, will benefit deployed military and veterans through Milvet. The paperback book is becoming a bestseller, and the

e-book is available at $3.99 for a limited time.

The first book signing will take place Aug. 11, at 5 p.m. during MilVet’s military care packaging event at Fairfield Inn, 30140 Town Center Drive, in Murrieta.

Volunteers for the military care packaging event are also welcome. For more information, contact http://www.milvet.org.

The second signing will be held Wednesday, Aug. 24, from 5-7 p.m. at Inland Wharf Brewing

Co., 26440 Jefferson St., Suite A, in Murrieta. The third signing will take place Saturday, Sept. 17, from 10 a.m. to noon at Montague Brothers Coffee, 21545 Palomar St., in Wildomar.

rieta’s high quality of life thanks to recent developments, safety, health and innovation, Ingram said.

The State of the City address will take place at 7 p.m., in what will be the first large-scale public event at the Murrieta Hot Springs in over 26 years. The event is open to the public and free to attend. Preceding the event, the Murrieta/Wildomar Chamber of Commerce will host a reception from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

A $35 ticket is required for the VIP reception and will feature a variety of food and drinks from local businesses.

This year, Murrieta Fire & Res-

cue is celebrating 75 years of service to the community; the Murrieta Police Department is celebrating 30 years of protecting and serving, and the city recently received a federal investment in the Murrieta Innovation Center for what will be only the second wet lab in all of Riverside County.

“Murrieta is the future of Southern California,” Ingram said.

“What makes Murrieta such a special place is the immense quality of life residents, businesses and visitors experience here thanks to the safe community we have because of our top-notch law enforcement

departments, being a regional medical hub, the innovation coming out of businesses in Murrieta and exciting new developments expanding opportunities for the region. And there is much more to come.”

The city and Murrieta/Wildomar Chamber of Commerce have a history of being collaborative partners in hosting the event, reflecting the collective goal of community and business success.

“We are always pleased to partner with the city of Murrieta and continue to be humbled by the support our community shows

for each other at every turn.” Patrick Ellis, president and CEO of Murrieta/Wildomar Chamber of Commerce, said. “Partnering with the city of Murrieta in showcasing the city’s achievements and vision for the coming year is a highlight for us. I encourage business and community members to come hear Mayor Ingram’s address and gain greater understanding of all that goes into creating a safe, healthy and innovative community.”

“when you are hungry, nothing else matters.”

Conrad, the department’s seventh Chief of Police, the partnership built between the police department and the community is the “personification of community policing” and is the primary reason Murrieta is consistently one of the safest communities of its size in the United States each year, as ranked by FBI Crime Statistics.

“We have a true partnership with our residents and we police this community with a service delivery approach, leveraging our highly skilled officers and dispatchers and with a proactive mindset,” Conrad said.

Held at the Murrieta police station and Town Square Park and Amphitheater, the Open House featured food, treats, a photo booth

and displays from SWAT, Traffic, K9, Off-Road Detail, Explorers and Volunteers offering fun for the entire family.

In addition to the displays, the police department “Pink Patch Project” was on hand selling Murrieta Police Department pink patches to the public to raise breast cancer awareness. Memorabilia for the 30th anniversary was handed out by officers and staff and guided tours were offered for those lucky enough to secure a spot.

works, said.

As part of the project, two lanes will be added to northbound Interstate 15 from Winchester Road to Interstate 215. When completed, the I-15/French Valley Parkway Improvements project will provide congestion relief for commuters.

The city said the project is consistent with the general plans of Temecula and Murrieta.

Construction bids will be advertised in September, and construction is set to begin before the end of the year, Thomas said. It will take two years for the project to be completed at an estimated cost of more than $75 million. The total project cost is more than $135 million for all three phases, he said. Money to fund the project needed to fund the project was provided by state, federal and city funds.

Improvements will consist of a new principal arterial road, French Valley Parkway, which will connect Jefferson Avenue and Ynez Road, a new interchange on I-15 at French Valley Parkway, a new collector/ distributor system of lanes on both sides of I-15 between Winchester Road and the I-15/I-215 junction and modifications to the I-15/Winchester Interchange.

In other news, another infrastructure project passed by the city council to design and construct a fourth traffic signal on Ring Road at the Temecula Promenade to improve vehicular and pedestrian traffic safety and circulation around the mall and surrounding areas.

The new signal will be constructed at the intersection of Promenade

Mall East and Ring Road, the most easterly entrance to the mall on Winchester Road, just west of Margarita Road. The project will include “full vehicular and pedestrian controlled movements, interconnection to the Winchester Road/ Promenade Mall East intersection and infrastructure to support future closed circuit video monitoring equipment,” the city said. It will be completed in fiscal year 2022-2023.

Council also approved an appropriation of $250,000 from Measure S to the Americans with Disabilities Act Transition Plan Implementation Project. The American with Disabilities Act Transition Plan Implementation will utilize a recently completed Transition Plan and implement its recommendations based on established priorities.

This implementation will include improvements to public facilities, programs and public rights of way to modify or remove identified barriers over a fiscally constrained framework.

This project will further the city’s core values of maintaining a safe and prepared community, an accountable and responsive city government, as well as transportation mobility and connectivity, the city said.

The American With Disabilities Act Transition Plan Upgrade was completed in fiscal year 2017-2018, but implementation of the Transition Plan recommendation remains an ongoing program.

Non-incumbent potential Menifee City Council members can seek nomination until Aug. 17 Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Menifee announced it may be extending the nomination process for the two city council district seats until Wednesday, Aug. 17, if the incumbent doesn’t seek reelection. Seats for District 2, which is held by Matthew Liesemeyer, and for District 4, which is held

by Dean Deines, will open for the next four years. Liesmeyer said previously that he may not seek reelection.

Menifee residents in those districts can schedule an appointment with the city clerk to obtain their nomination papers to qualify for the November 2022 General Election ballot. For reference, a map of the city council districts is available on the website at https:// www.cityofmenifee.us/Districts.

To qualify as a candidate, applicants must reside and be registered to vote within the district for which they are seeking to run for office, according to the city clerk.

The nomination period for these offices opened July 18, and will close Friday, Aug. 12, at 5 p.m. If nomination papers for an incumbent officer eligible for reelection are not filed by Aug. 12, the registered voters in that district shall have until Wednesday, Aug. 17, to nominate candidates other than the person who is the incumbent for that elective office. Both District 2 and District 4 positions will serve for a full four-year term.

To schedule an appointment with the city clerk, email Stephanie Roseen at sroseen@cityofmenifee. us or call 951-672-6777.

Flock Safety license plate readers helping Lake Elsinore law enforcement Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The Lake Elsinore sheriff that is contracted with the city of Lake Elsinore said the installed Flock Safety ALPR cameras were instrumental in officers recovering 47 stolen vehicles and making 36 arrests for the first six months of the year.

The camera system in the city aided in 33 other investigations.

The cameras installed at various intersections in the community help law enforcement investigate crime by providing objective evidence of cars reported stolen or being sought in investigations by capturing license plate numbers and vehicle characteristics, not the faces of people driving or inside.

The cameras proactively are preventing crime from occuring in Lake Elsinore by sending real-time alerts to law enforcement nearby when a stolen car or known wanted felony suspect vehicle identified

They also send real-time alerts if a vehicle associated with a missing person in an Amber Alert or Silver Alert is detected.

Other cities in the county as well as Lake Elsinore have installed the Flock Cameras and are reporting similar success with more cameras being ordered.

They are built on poles or guardrails in the jurisdictions. The monitoring agency promises the data received will never be shared with third parties and is deleted automatically after 30 days on a rolling basis to protect citizens’ privacy.

The company reports there are over 1,200 law enforcement agencies using the cameras to solve hundreds of crimes every day.

Law enforcement agencies have reported the technology is solving close to 3% of all reported crime in the nation.

WATER from page A-1 During the lesson, Consuelo Arias, public affairs specialist of Eastern Municipal Water District, equated each layer of a parfait with what happens in an natural aquifer. An aquifer is a body of porous rock or sediment saturated with groundwater that is located deep under the earth’s surface.

Groundwater enters an aquifer as rainwater and seeps through the soil where it is stored. It can move through the aquifer and resurface through springs and wells.

With additional assistance from EMWD public affairs officer Kevin Pearson, the children first crumbled Oreos into a clear plastic cup to represent soil and sand.

Next, a small amount of “rain” soda was poured into each cup so they could see how it fills in the spaces around the “soil and sand” cookies. The next layer of the aquifer, called the confining layer, which is usually clay or dense rock, was symbolized with crushed chocolate chip cookies and ice cream.

Next, Arias instructed the children to spoon pudding and chocolate chips into their cups for another layer of “gravel and sand.”

Amid the murmurings over their creations, a demonstration of how pollution affects water sources happened when a drop of food coloring was added and more “rain” soda helped the “pollution” make its way to the bottom of the cup, where “groundwater” is stored.

One young participant described this type of pollution, such as pouring old motor oil onto the ground or into the sewer systems, as “liquid trash.”

While the lesson could have ended there while showing how pollution above ground affects our water stores deep underground, there was one more step. Children were asked to insert a straw into the cup, representing a well and “drill” by sucking on the straw to show how the groundwater is reached and brought to the surface.

Then, more “rain” soda was added to recharge the aquifer, helping to replace water that was drilled out by the well. The final step of the activity was to sit back and enjoy eating/drinking the edible aquifer.

Allison Coe and her family recently moved closer to the Menifee library, and she was looking for something educational to do with her sons Wyatt, 7 and Emmett, 4.

“This gave them a real life experience,” she said.

Wyatt said his favorite part was “definitely the eating,” but that he learned “pollution is bad for the groundwater.”

Isabella Ahrens, 6, enjoys creating her edible aquifer at an Eastern Municipal Water District-hosted children’s activity in Menifee.

Menifee Public Library staff assist Consuelo Arias, public affairs specialist of Eastern Municipal Water District, right, with a children’s activity at the library’s community room.

Before creating the fun and tasty treat, Arias shared the story of “Gobi & the Water Cycle Adventure.” The book, written and illustrated by Avery Lund, was the winner of EMWD’s Write-Off contest in 2016. The program was developed by EMWD education specialist Malea Ortloff in 2008 as a way to encourage a greater understanding of the precious resource of water in elementary and middle school students.

“We like to offer activities that engage our youngest stakeholders,” Pearson said. “These kids are our future rate payers in the next generation. We want to give them an early start in terms of water usage and the importance of conservation. It’s easier to establish good water usage habits at an early age; that’s why we invest in it the way we do.”

The water district has long engaged everyone from toddlers through high school students with its educational programs at schools through classroom presentations and assemblies. Additionally, its annual writing and art contests have been a community staple for decades. EMWD regularly collaborates with many local school districts including those in Hemet, Menifee, Murrieta, Romoland, San Jacinto and Temecula.

Local libraries have become a great location for educational events and programs. The edible aquifer activity was also presented at the San Jacinto Public and Sun City libraries Wednesday, Aug. 3.

Story times in English and Spanish have been recently offered several times at the Menifee Public Library, sharing “Gobi” and other stories in back-to-back readings in each language. Pearson said these bilingual opportunities benefit everyone and makes EMWD a much more inclusive agency.

“In the summer months, the story time has been several times a month at libraries throughout the area. On a broader range, our public affairs team does a broad range of events, including presentations at HOA and service organizations, community events, city-led events, chambers of commerce, etc.,” Pearson said. “It’s not uncommon for our staff to have several events a week and that does not include the education programs throughout the school year.”

Gearing up for the start of the new semester, Pearson said EMWD has an entire slate of events planned for schools throughout its service area, including field trips to its Wetlands and San Jacinto Valley Regional Water Reclamation Facility, in-person and virtual classroom presentations, theater assembly programs, the student art and Write-Off contests, the Solar Cup competition and more.

“Our largest event we have planned is a Purified Water Replenishment Open House on Oct. 15 at our headquarters,” he said.

“This event will help educate our customers on our planned Purified Water Replenishment program. As we advance this program, it’s more critical for us to have engagement with all our customers.”

Eastern Municipal Water District’s job is to take water that is drilled out by wells and run it through its water treatment plants in order to clear it of all pollutants and make it safe for consumers. EMWD is the water, wastewater service and recycled water provider to nearly 1 million people living and working within a 558-square mile service area in western Riverside County. It is California’s sixth-largest retail water agency.

Lake Elsinore Council salutes LEGS for outstanding season

Many Lake Elsinore Girls Softball players, their coaches and supporters fill the Lake Elsinore City Council chambers before being honored at its Tuesday, July 26, meeting.

Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Lake Elsinore Girls Softball league was recognized for its championship season during the Tuesday, July 26, City Council meeting. Several teams and their coaches were applauded and received certificates of appreciation for representing their community so well. LEGS President Mike Norkin said 248 girls played this year.

“In my four and a half years on the board and as president, we are the talk of the entire valley,” Norkin said. “Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, they wish they had a relationship with their city like we do.”

He thanked the city and in particular, he thanked the Community Services and Public Works teams for all their help throughout the season.

Coach Kenny Wells’ 14U team

made it all the way to the state championships, and Coach Mark Duncan said he was very proud of his 12U team and thanked all the parents who were there to help out. Coach Terrence York’s 8U team were the USA Softball 2022 Eastern C Division champions.

Tammy Wells coached the 10U team that are currently the USA Softball 2022 Eastern C Division District Champions, 2022 Southern California C State Champions and 2022 C State Games Champions.

“These girls are the first ones to do all of that in USA Softball history,” Wells said.

She told the girls, “You are monumental and unstoppable; don’t forget that.”

Mayor Tim Sheridan said, “All of our players in Lake Elsinore softball are exceptional young people and we are very proud they are Lake Elsinorians.”

The Lake Elsinore Girls Softball 10U team, coached by Tammy Wells, at left in front of Mayor Tim Sheridan, are honored for their championship 2022 season.

Also acknowledged were two Riverside County Sheriff’s deputies from the Lake Elsinore station who were honored by Mothers Against Drunk Drivers as Century Award recipients.

“On behalf of my colleagues on the Lake Elsinore City Council, we have certificates of recognition for these two gentlemen,” Sheridan said. “They are a vital cog in Lake Elsinore. They do great work for us.”

Deputy Scott Hadeen was honored by MADD for making 176 DUI arrests in 2021 and being named the top arresting officer in Riverside County. Deputy Trevor Downs received his award for making 128 DUI arrests in 2021.

Cal Fire’s Lonny Olson presented the second quarter statistical review. A total of 1,690 calls for service included 10 structure fires, 64 other fires, 136 traffic collisions and 1,270 medical emergencies.

McVicker Park Station 85 logged the most calls with 517. The fire marshal’s office completed 96 fire, building and public works plan reviews and 1,224 fire inspections; 800 were for weed abatement.

Olson shared some action photos of on-the-scene firefighting at a Lakeshore apartment fire and the nearby Cereal Fire incident. He also shared photos of a duck rescue from a Canyon Hills storm drain.

Cal Fire’s new battalion chief, Scott Weatherstone, was introduced. He started working in Lake Elsinore as a seasonal employee in 1998 and stayed at Station 10 until 2013.

City engineer Remon Habib gave a Pavement Management Program Update for 2017-2022, citing past projects and some that are scheduled to be completed later this year. He prefaced his staff report by reminding everyone how

critical the roadway system is.

“The road network in our city is an asset, and we view this asset the same as we view any other assets that are owned by the city whether it’s facilities, parks, etc. It needs maintenance; it needs constant care and attention and funding for it to function at a level where we’re able to get to school, to work and our recreational venues. These are the arteries and veins that move our goods and people’s vehicles throughout our city,” he said, adding that funding from SB-1 and Measure Z boosted the city’s ability to reinvest in its roads.

Consent Calendar items 5-11 and 13 were approved unanimously 4-0, with Councilmember Brian Tisdale absent. Item No. 12 was pulled by Councilmember Steve Manos for a question, and upon receiving a satisfactory answer from Habib, voted to approve it, as did his colleagues on the dais.

Three successor agency Consent Calendar items were approved 4-0.

A public hearing to consider a planning application for a new mixed-use commercial and residential development called Bamiyan Marketplace on a 12.60-acre site near Macy Street and Grand Avenue was continued to the next scheduled meeting due to a thirdparty’s delay in giving proper notice.

Based on a memorandum written by Councilmember Robert “Bob” Magee, the agenda included a business item regarding “discussion and direction to city staff regarding the establishment of policies and standards for certain types of industrial developments within proximity to sensitive receptors” as well as the desire to “establish a subcommittee consisting of two city council members to work with city staff to develop recommendations and report its

findings to the city council.”

Magee’s memo said, in part, that “in order to preserve the council’s vision and our 2040 plan, I believe that we need to establish some guidelines for certain types of industrial development, i.e., mega warehouses.”

“Sensitive receptors” would include occupied residential structures, schools, day care facilities, hospitals, senior living or assisted living homes and outdoor recreation areas. Additional guidelines regarding noise, construction, traffic and hours of operation would also be part of future development guideline considerations.

Magee said the purpose of the proposed “Good Neighbor Policy” is to open the discussion based on his constituents’ concerns about the potential negative impacts this type of industry may have on the city if left unchecked. He made it clear to the Lake Elsinore Valley Chamber of Commerce, which shared concerns that decisions made by a subcommittee may affect existing businesses that have submitted or been granted planning applications; however, it was not the case.

Councilmember Manos said that in past discussions by city leaders about what they envisioned for Lake Elsinore, it was decided they want this to be “a tourism community where families could live and build futures and dreams” and not a transportation hub for goods and services.

A motion was made by Magee to adopt a subcommittee with himself and Manos on it, and the motion was seconded by Manos and passed unanimously.

The next regular council and successor agency meeting is scheduled Tuesday, Aug. 9, at 7 p.m. For more information, visit http://www.lake-elsinore.org.

Police Officer Lesley Zerebny memorial to be erected at Diamond Valley Lake Community Park Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

It has been almost six years since Palm Springs Police Officer Lesley Zerebny from Hemet lost her life in the line of duty, but the Valley-Wide Recreation and Park District’s Board of Directors has not forgotten the Zerebny family.

The Valley-Wide board commissioned the construction of the “Officer Lesley Zerebny First Responders Memorial” to be erected in honor and memory of the Hemet native.

The memorial wall will commemorate fallen first responders who lived, served or were born in the Valley-Wide Recreation and Park District service area which encompasses much of southwestern Riverside County. It will be placed on the grounds of Diamond Valley Lake Community Park,

1806 Angler Ave., in Hemet during special ceremonies Friday, Oct. 14. Valley-Wide is inviting first responder agencies and the public to attend the ceremony.

Zerebny and Officer Gil Vega were shot and killed while responding to a domestic disturbance call in the 2700 block of Cypress Road in Palm Springs Oct. 8, 2016. The suspect opened fire on them as they approached the home.

He barricaded himself in the home for 12 hours before he was taken into custody. In May 2019, he was convicted of capital murder and was recommended for the death penalty by a jury.

At her death, Zerebny left a husband and a baby daughter. The city of Palm Springs has named her and Vega on Highway 111 memorial signs leading into the city.

HOME & GARDEN

Rose Care FUNdamentals for August 2022 Frank Brines, ARS Master Rosarian SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Summer is certainly upon us, and based on past experience, it’s only going to get hotter before it gets cooler. I didn’t need to tell you that at the beginning of August, did I? The year has had unusual weather, breaking records all over the globe.

Since high summer temperatures and less-than-ideal conditions for roses are inevitable for the next couple of months, let’s get ready.

Stroll through your gardens in the morning, look for leaf wilt, drying or discoloration of leaves and leaf surface luster. If it appears dull, investigate the plant for disease, drought or pests. If you’ve taken my advice, you’re letting your roses continue their summer dormancy until about mid-September.

Struggling to remain hydrated will likely produce poor quality blooms. Just remove and discard the withered petals and let the hips develop, keep the bed clean of debris and don’t fertilize. Be sure your irrigation program is in good condition and delivering needed water. It doesn’t take long for a rose to suffer once its irrigation supply fails.

When temperatures range in the 90 degree zone, roses like most living things perspire which requires intake of more water to keep cool and live. Roses “perspire” through cells along the edge of the leaf. If there is not sufficient moisture in the root zone, the leaves will turn brown as a sign of heat stress and will need immediate attention. This situation also limits bloom size, color and appearance of burned crinkled petals, which is why as much as 12 gallons of water per week is needed for the rose to survive and more to produce beautiful blooms. I suggest only removing the petals of any roses that bloom and any fallen debris.

Do not fertilize and increase the water. Let the plant rest the best it can. In the event that foliage becomes stressed from heat, turns brown and falls off, be careful not to remove so much that the cane becomes unprotected from the sun and gets sunburned, which could kill the plant.

Chilli thrips are a year-round pest, but they love hot summer days best. They are 0.016 - 0.024 inch long, one fourth the size of the western flower thrip. You’ll know chilli thrips are present only when new foliage and blooms are already damaged. Blooms will be deformed, discolored and outer petals will be darkened. Buds will be distorted, darkened and may not open. You’ll notice misshapen distorted new foliage and bronzing on the back of new leaves.

Chilli thrips love all new foliage and bloom colors, unlike western flower thrips who prefer light colors. It’s astounding the amount of damage they can do in a very short time. Control is easiest in the earliest stages since a severe infestation can rapidly defoliate a rose bush and your other plants too. During hot weather, the life cycle for chilli thrips is 11 days.

Part of that time is spent in soil or debris under the plants. The larvae stage molt into a pupal stage and usually enter the soil or debris to eventually emerge as adults. Only the larvae and adults have feeding stages. Adults can be dispersed by wind over long distances.

Integrated pest management stresses the importance of cultural, mechanical and biological controls before resorting to the least toxic chemical control. Since chilli thrips

Deformed and discolored blooms, such as this Marilyn Monroe rose, indicate a chilli thrip infestation.

have a short life cycle, you must detect damage and implement a method of control immediately.

Cut out damaged buds, blooms and leaves; remove all fallen leaves and petals from the garden. A natural hero in the fight is the minute pirate bug which feast on all stages of this pest, as well as on spider mites, insect eggs, aphids and small caterpillars. Gardeners can buy them on the internet.

If chemical control becomes needed, choose the least toxic spray and follow label directions. During infestation, all new growth will need to be sprayed weekly. Conserve or Captain Jack’s Deadbug Brew concentrate are two organic sprays with active ingredient Spinosad. Spinosad will not harm ladybugs, green lacewings, pirate bugs or predatory mites. Spray early in morning or in evening after bees are less likely to be active and before temperatures reach the 80s.

Check out the garden daily for signs of damage. Examine the lower leaves. If they appear yellow or brown, have fine webbing and/or look dirty, there may be an infestation of spider mites. Some areas have experienced a real problem with spider mites this year. They thrive in hot weather. They can be found on the undersides of leaves.

A quick check can be made by lightly running your fingers across the underside of the leaf. If it has a small grainy feel, it most likely is the spider mite. A strong spray of water from below followed by an overhead shower should take care of the problem or, at least, hold it in check. Give the shower early in the day so the plant has time to dry before the sun becomes hot. Do this every three days for 10-14 days, inspecting regularly. It may be necessary to repeat after a few days if the infestation is heavy. Captain Jack’s Deadbug Brew is a good product to use in this case. Removing the bottom leaves approximately 8 inches from soil level can help in reducing or eliminating the spider mite problem. It should be done earlier and before an infestation.

The world is dangerous enough for plants, but gardeners are also faced with additional risks. One is a dangerous fungus with the scientific name Sporothrix schenckii.

It infects humans with the fungus infection sporotrichosis, which is referred to as the rose thorn or rose gardener’s disease. The fungus resides on hay, sphagnum moss, the tips of rose thorns and in soil. It can cause infection, redness, swelling

”

and open ulcers at the puncture site.

The fungus can also spread to the lymphatic system and move on to the joints and bones where it ends up attacking the central nervous system and lungs when the thorn or thorns are deeply embedded. A relatively uncommon condition, diagnosis can be complicated. Physicians often mistake it as staph or strep infection. Gardeners should be sure to inform their physician that they are a gardener, so appropriate diagnosis and treatment are rendered.

Everyone enjoys the fragrance and beauty of roses, and many have had their skin pierced by thorns or “prickles,” which is the correct anatomical name. Good protective measures include wearing appropriate clothing such as gloves, long sleeves or gauntlets when work-

ing among roses and thoroughly cleansing even minor scratches and punctures with an antibacterial soap. Rubbing alcohol, which gardeners should already have handy to clean their pruners, can be applied as an immediate wash until they can use antibacterial soap. Anything more than a minor puncture should be watched carefully for signs of infection; seek medical attention as soon as possible if any of the signs described above begin to appear.

Even the simple things in life have risks – take precautions so you can stop and smell the roses.

And when you’ve got a moment to spare, go visit Rose Haven Heritage Garden, 30592 Jedediah Smith Road, in Temecula. Also, visit http://www.TemeculaValleyRoseSociety.org.

The deformed rose buds are infested with chilli thrips, which love the summer heat.

$10.3M settlement reached in first COVID-19 vaccine mandate class action suit involving health care workers Liberty Counsel SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Liberty Counsel settled the nation’s first classwide lawsuit Friday, July 29, for health care workers over a COVID-19 vaccine mandate, for more than $10.3 million.

The class action settlement against NorthShore University HealthSystem is on behalf of more than 500 current and former health care workers who were unlawfully discriminated against and denied religious exemptions from the COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

The agreed-upon settlement was filed Friday, July 29, in the federal Northern District Court

of Illinois.

As a result of the settlement, NorthShore will pay $10,337,500 to compensate these health care employees who were victims of religious discrimination and who were punished for their religious beliefs against taking an injection associated with aborted fetal cells.

It is a historic, first-of-its-kind class action settlement against a private employer who unlawfully denied hundreds of religious exemption requests to COVID-19 shots.

The settlement must be approved by the federal District Court.

Employees of NorthShore who were denied religious exemptions will receive notice of the settle-

ment and will have an opportunity to comment, object, request to opt out or submit a claim form for payment out of the settlement fund, all in accordance with deadlines that will be set by the court.

As part of the settlement agreement, NorthShore will also change its unlawful “no religious accommodations” policy to make it consistent with the law, and to provide religious accommodations in every position across its numerous facilities.

No position in any NorthShore facility will be considered off limits to unvaccinated employees with approved religious exemptions.

In addition, employees who were terminated because of their

religious refusal of the COVID-19 shots will be eligible for rehire if they apply within 90 days of the final settlement approved by the court, and they will retain their previous seniority level.

The amount of individual payments from the settlement fund will depend on how many valid and timely claim forms are submitted during the claims process.

If the settlement is approved by the court and all or nearly all of the affected employees file valid and timely claims, it is estimated that employees who were terminated or resigned because of their religious refusal of a COVID-19 shot will receive approximately $25,000 each, and employees who were forced to accept a COVID-19 shot against their religious beliefs to keep their jobs will receive approximately $3,000 each.

The 13 health care workers who are lead plaintiffs in the lawsuit will receive an additional approximate payment of $20,000 each for their important role in bringing this lawsuit and representing the class of NorthShore healthcare workers.

Liberty Counsel will receive 20% of the settlement sum, which equals $2,061,500, as payment for the significant attorney’s fees and costs it has required to undertake to sue NorthShore and hold it accountable for its actions. This amount is far less than the typical 33% usually requested by attorneys in class action litigation.

In October 2021, Liberty Counsel sent a demand letter to NorthShore on behalf of numerous health care workers who had sincere religious objections to NorthShore’s “Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccination Policy.”

If NorthShore had agreed to follow the law and grant religious exemptions, the matter would have been quickly resolved and it would have cost it nothing.

But, when NorthShore refused to follow the law, and instead denied all religious exemption

and accommodation requests for employees working in its facilities, Liberty Counsel filed a class action lawsuit, along with a motion for a temporary restraining order and injunction.

Horatio G. Mihet, vice president of legal affairs and chief litigation counsel of Liberty Counsel, said, “We are very pleased with the historic, $10 million settlement achieved in our class action lawsuit against NorthShore University HealthSystem.

“The drastic policy change and substantial monetary relief required by the settlement will bring a strong measure of justice to NorthShore’s employees who were callously forced to choose between their conscience and their jobs. This settlement should also serve as a strong warning to employers across the nation that they cannot refuse to accommodate those with sincere religious objections to forced vaccination mandates,” he said.

Mat Staver, founder and chair of Liberty Counsel, said, “This classwide settlement providing compensation and the opportunity to return to work is the first of its kind in the nation involving COVID shot mandates. This settlement should be a wake-up call to every employer that did not accommodate or exempt employees who opposed the COVID shots for religious reasons.

“Let this case be a warning to employers that violated Title VII. It is especially significant and gratifying that this first classwide COVID settlement protects health care workers. Health care workers are heroes who daily give their lives to protect and treat their patients. They are needed now more than ever,” Staver said.

EDUCATION

Mt. San Jacinto College partners with Green Flower to offer cannabis industry training courses SAN JACINTO – Mt. San Jacinto College Community Education partnered with Green Flower, a California-based leading cannabis education company, to offer three not-for-credit certificate courses that began Tuesday, July 19.

The programs focus on various aspects of the industry, with courses centered on advanced cultivation technician, advanced manufacturing agent and advanced dispensary associate training. Each course will provide participants with knowledge, skills and abilities to help them excel in their chosen field of specialization.

The eight-week courses are designed for participants who prefer a flexible online format. They are offered in an asynchronous, self-paced format with lessons structured in weekly modules.

“The cannabis industry is one of the fastest-growing sources of employment in America and this includes southwest River-

side County,” Janice Mrkonjic, MSJC’s interim director of workforce & economic development, said. “After interviewing industry leaders, I identified their needs for a skilled workforce in the areas of cultivation, manufacturing and dispensary.”

The partnership between MSJC and Green Flower will help participants gain the skills they need to succeed in the workforce.

“MSJC’s commitment to transform learners, communities and lives is directly aligned with Green Flower’s progressive and strategic approach to deliver cannabis industry-centric educational programs,” Mrkonjic said.

The cannabis industry is booming. In Riverside County, taxable cannabis sales increased from $264.19 million in 2020 to $374.18 million in 2021, according to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration.

That’s a 41.6 percent rise in one year.

The not-for-credit courses will be offered through the MSJC Contract and Community Education department. Upon completion of each course, participants will earn a Certificate of Completion and gain access to Green Flower’s career portal as well as the college’s online job board, JobSpeaker, which allows local employers to post job openings.

“Green Flower is honored to be partnering with Mt. San Jacinto College to offer our three cannabis industry training courses,” Daniel Kalef, vice president of university partnerships, said. “With the cannabis industry in California continuing to grow at a record pace, while also being the largest cannabis market in the world, the ability to help people train to work in the industry continues to be vital.

“The programs we are offering in partnership with MSJC will help ensure not only the continued growth of the industry in Califor-

nia, but growth in great part due to a well-trained workforce. We can think of no better college or group of people with whom to partner with and are excited to begin offer-

ing them to the public,” Kalef said.

Spiderman and Wonder Women, in their finest regalia, paid a visit to dozens of delighted children at the July 29 Menifee Moonlight Market in Central Park. The special event included family entertainment for the more than 200 visitors who enjoyed local vendors and that night’s showing of the “Big Hero 6” movie with their children.

The Superheroes themed market night was the fourth of the summer sponsored by the city and local businesses, designed to bring the families of Menifee together for a night of fun and friendship.

Spiderman and Wonder Woman, portrayed by Jimmy Sherfy and Karamia Capri from San Diego’s Epic Character Parties, gathered

their happy younger fans while the Far Out Boys tribute band, on the park stage, kept the older crowd entertained with rock and roll and hip-hop music.

At 8 p.m. the movie began on a blown-up inflatable screen and brought applause. More than a dozen mostly local vendors did a brisk business selling everything from colorful bracelets and candles to water guns and bubblemaking toys.

Menifee head crafter vendor Amaris Nunez with the Little Magnolia said it was her third appearance at the moonlight market.

She was pleased at “being outside of the net,” and showing off her wares to live customers. Her specialty that evening were decorated Mickey and Minnie Mouse ears inspired by her four daughters’

Most of the vendors were from Menifee, taking advantage of participating in the moonlight madness market.

In addition to the entertainment and vendors was a specialty food booth, seafood, bakery items and soft drinks. It was an especially enjoyable evening for the families and a cool break from the continuing heat and humidity of the day.

EMWD approves water supply assessment for Menifee Industrial Warehouse Joe Naiman WRITER

The Eastern Municipal Water District approved a water supply assessment for the planned Menifee Industrial Warehouse.

A 3-0 EMWD board vote Wednesday, July 20, with Stephen Corona and David Slawson absent, approved the water supply assessment which addresses

whether the projected normal, single dry year and multiple dry year expected supply over a 20year period can meet the demand for the project along with existing and other planned projects. The water supply assessment will be incorporated into the environmental impact report for the project. Capstone Advisors is the developer of the Menifee Industrial Warehouse project, while the

city of Menifee is the lead agency for the EIR. The Menifee Industrial Warehouse project would be located on a 38.5-acre site south of Ethanac Road and west of Byers Road. An industrial warehouse building is proposed for that site. The total anticipated annual water demand for the project is 23.75 acre-feet.

Eastern’s most recent Urban Water Management Plan, which was

Temecula saves water by converting local irrigation to recycled water TEMECULA– With the assistance of a Department of Water Resources grant, Rancho California Water District and the city of Temecula have converted nearly 330,000 square feet of landscaped area to recycled water, saving the city thousands of gallons of water.

Temecula and Rancho Water began work on a “Recycled Water Conversion Project” in July 2017 to convert existing potable – or drinkable – water irrigation systems to efficient recycled water systems. This project included the installation of drip components, high efficiency nozzles and smart irrigation controllers for landscaped areas in the communities of Temeku Hills and Crowne Hill including Butterfield Stage landscape medians. Additionally, all city parks and roadway landscape areas within the Harveston neighborhood are irrigated with reclaimed water, including Harveston Lake.

“Rancho Water and the city are continuously identifying water efficiency options to protect and conserve our region’s water supply,” Temecula Mayor Matt Rahn said.

“Over the last five years, Rancho Water proactively expanded their

recycled water lines, allowing the city to gain access to reclaimed water to convert city landscaped areas.”

Next on the city’s list to convert to reclaimed water lines is Kent Hintergardt Memorial Park. Additionally, the city replaced turf areas with water efficient landscape at Winchester Creek Park and Sam Hicks Monument Park and is doing so in other parks including passive turf areas within The Temecula Duck Pond, Serena Hills Park, Riverton Park, Loma Linda Park, Meadows Park and Voorburg Park.

“The city of Temecula has always been one of Rancho Water’s forward-thinking partners,” Carol Lee Gonzales-Brady, president of Rancho Water Board of Directors, said. “California’s ongoing drought calls for us to think innovatively, pursuing projects that will result in long-term solutions and water reliability. By converting so many developments to recycled water, the city shows its commitment to collaborating with Rancho Water on important water saving measures.”

More than 75%, or approximately $426,000, of the total cost

of $568,000 spent on Temecula’s Recycled Water Conversion Project was funded by a grant from the Department of Water Resources and serves as an example of the ongoing efforts between Rancho Water and the city of Temecula to improve upon water efficiencies throughout the community.

Rancho Water collects, treats and recycles wastewater at its Santa Rosa Water Reclamation Facility in Murrieta. The plant services residents and businesses in the Temecula, Murrieta and Wildomar communities and treats approximately 1 billion gallons of wastewater annually, which is the source of the district’s recycled water. This highly treated water supply source is used to irrigate most golf courses, large landscaped areas, schools, parks and greenbelts in the Rancho Water service area.

Visit Temecula Valley to receive additional $804,000 of ARPA funding Joe Naiman WRITER

Visit Temecula Valley, which is a program of the Temecula Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau, will receive an additional $804,000 of American Rescue Plan Act funding.

A 5-0 Riverside County Board of Supervisors vote Tuesday, July 26, approved $804,000 of the county’s ARPA funding for the Temecula Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau. The grant will cover fiscal years 2022-2023 through 2024-2025.

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 included $350 billion of Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds allocations for eligible state, territorial, tribal and local governments. The funding addresses the public health emergency and economic impacts of the coronavirus epidemic and can be utilized for four eligible

categories: mitigation of negative economic impacts, premium pay for eligible workers performing essential work, provision of government services lost revenue would have eliminated and necessary infrastructure investments including water, sewer, and broadband.

The county received $36 million of ARPA funding.

On March 22, the county board of supervisors allocated $2,161,375 of ARPA funding to the county’s Tourism Recovery Campaign which addresses impacts on tourism caused by coronavirus regulations and fears. A 2021 Visit California report indicated that in 2019 the hospitality industry provided 86,600 direct jobs for Riverside County while 16,720 of those jobs were lost during the coronavirus outbreak. The report also indicated that direct travel spending in Riverside County declined by 39.2% and was a $3.5 billion impact.

The primary function of the Temecula Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau is to increase tourism, convention and conference activities in the county and to support the hospitality industry. The March 22 action allocated $402,000 to Visit Temecula Valley. An action plan has been developed which includes detailed information about how the funds will be used.

Because Visit Temecula Valley is actually regional rather than focused only on Temecula, an additional $804,000 will allow the expansion of the efforts beyond the typical marketing region of Visit Temecula Valley. The funding will enable marketing in Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, Wildomar, Menifee, Hemet, San Jacinto, Canyon Lake, French Valley, Anza and Temescal Valley as well as Temecula.

adopted in June 2021, anticipated an annual demand of 94.99 acrefeet for what was designated as a mixed-used area.

The Urban Water Management Plan forecasts anticipated supplies and demand in five-year increments through 2045, when the district is expected to provide service to approximately 1,131,300 people. The projected EMWD demand is 204,800 acre-

feet in 2025 and 239,200 acre-feet in 2045.

The specific facilities needed to serve the Menifee Industrial Warehouse water demands will be addressed in the project’s design conditions phase.

Genesis Construction given RCWD contract to expand recycled water Joe Naiman WRITER

Genesis Construction was given the Rancho California Water District contract to construct pipeline extensions for recycled water distribution.

The RCWD board voted 6-0 Wednesday, July 21, with Angel Garcia absent, to award Genesis Construction a $1,987,777 contract for the pipeline extensions.

The contract amount matches the Hemet company’s bid.

Rancho has a Recycled Water Accelerated Retrofit program which provides incentives to qualified participants who desire to retrofit their irrigation systems for recycled water use. The water district provides technical support and financing mechanisms. Since the RCWD board authorized funds for the program in 2019 district staff has worked with potential customers, and 31 sites have

already signed notices of intent to participate in the program.

Some of those sites will require pipeline extensions, and the district contracted with Hunsaker & Associates to prepare plans and specifications for the necessary infrastructure. Approximately 4,000 feet of pipeline, service laterals and related appurtenances will be constructed.

RCWD staff advertised the construction contract for bid May 31.

Three proposals were received by the June 30 deadline. The Genesis Construction bid amount was the lowest. Ferreira Coastal Construction Company, which is based in New Jersey and has offices in Rancho Cucamonga and Spring Valley, submitted the second-lowest bid at $2,235,528. Both bids were under the engineer’s estimate of $2,300,000.

County’s jobless rate bumps back up to 4% City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Gains in multiple sectors of the regional economy were offset by losses in others, pushing Riverside County’s unemployment rate back up to 4% last month, according to figures released Friday, July 22, by the California Employment Development Department.

The jobless rate in June, based on preliminary EDD estimates, was 4%, compared to 3.4% in May. According to figures, the June rate was over four percentage points lower than the year-ago level, when countywide unemployment stood at 8.4%, as the statewide coronavirus public health lockdowns were gradually eased.

An estimated 43,500 county residents were recorded as out of work in June, and 1,101,000 were employed, according to EDD. Coachella had the highest unemployment rate countywide last month at 8.8%, followed by Cherry Valley at 7.4%, Mecca at 6.4%, Rancho Mirage at 6% and

Hemet at 5.6%.

The combined unemployment rate for Riverside and San Bernardino counties in June was also 4%, and also down from 3.4% in May, according to figures.

Bi-county data indicated payrolls expanded by the widest margins in retail trade, warehousing and professional business services, which altogether added 6,000 positions in June.

Additional gains were documented in the agricultural, health services, manufacturing and mining sectors, which swelled by an aggregate 3,400 jobs in June, according to EDD. Payrolls sank the largest in the leisure and hospitality sector, which shed 1,600 positions.

Declines were also documented in the public sector and miscellaneous unclassified industries, which together lost 1,400.

The construction, financial services and information technology sectors were unchanged.

Data showed that the statewide non-seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in June was, like the Inland Empire, 4%.

Whistleblowers call out FBI corruption Publisher’s note: As my editorial this week, rather than editorializing on some issue I find important, I thought it would be better to just print the Letter from Sen. Chuck Grassley, the Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee to the DOJ and the FBI. It is related to the FBI’s overt political activity to protect Joe Biden before the election and to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop as disinformation when they knew, in fact, that it was real. The corruption runs so deep in our federal agencies.

We know this. But here’s one more allegation.

The Honorable Merrick Garland Attorney General Department of Justice The Honorable Christopher Wray Director Federal Bureau of Investigation Dear Attorney General Garland and Director Wray: On May 31, 2022, I wrote to you regarding likely violations of Federal laws, regulations and Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) guidelines by Assistant Special Agent in Charge (“ASAC”) Timothy Thibault of the Washington Field Office (“WFO”) based on a pattern of active public partisanship in his then public social media content. In that letter, I noted that Congress has a constitutional responsibility to ensure that the Executive Branch executes the law and uses taxpayer money appropriated to it in accordance with congressional intent. In furtherance of that constitutional responsibility, Congress has an obligation to investigate the Executive Branch for fraud, waste, abuse and gross mismanagement – acts which undermine faith in the American people’s governmental institutions. Those constitutional and legislative responsibilities apply to this letter to you. My letter also invited individuals, including current and former government employees, to contact me and my office to confidentially report allegations of fraud, waste, abuse and gross mismanagement

by FBI and Justice Department (“Department”) officials including, but not limited to, ASAC Thibault.

In response, my office has received a significant number of protected communications from highly credible whistleblowers.

The information provided to my office involves concerns about the FBI’s receipt and use of derogatory information relating to Hunter Biden, and the FBI’s false portrayal of acquired evidence as disinformation. The volume and consistency of these allegations substantiate their credibility and necessitate this letter.

First, it’s been alleged that the FBI developed information in 2020 about Hunter Biden’s criminal financial and related activity. It is further alleged that in August 2020, FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst Brian Auten opened an assessment which was used by a FBI Headquarters (“FBI HQ”) team to improperly discredit negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation and caused investigative activity to cease. Based on allegations, verified and verifiable derogatory information on Hunter Biden was falsely labeled as disinformation.

The basis for how the FBI HQ team selected the specific information for inclusion in Auten’s assessment is unknown, but in more than one instance the focus of the FBI HQ team’s attention involved derogatory information about Hunter Biden. Accordingly, the allegations provided to my office appear to indicate that there was a scheme in place among certain FBI officials to undermine derogatory information connected to Hunter Biden by falsely suggesting it was disinformation.

Importantly, it’s been alleged to my office that Auten’s assessment was opened in August 2020, which is the same month that Senator Johnson and I received an unsolicited and unnecessary briefing from the FBI that purportedly related to our Biden investigation and a briefing for which the contents were later leaked in order paint the investigation in a false light.

As Senator Johnson and I have publicly noted, on July 13, 2020, then-Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senator Mark Warner,

Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Representative Adam Schiff sent a letter, with a classified attachment, to the FBI to express a purported belief that Congress was the subject of a foreign disinformation campaign. *1 The July 13, 2020, letter included unclassified elements that, among other things, unsuccessfully attempted to tie our investigative work to foreign disinformation.

Those unclassified elements were later leaked to the press to try and smear our Biden investigation as unrelated foreign disinformation.

Then, on July 16, 2020, thenRanking Member Peters and thenRanking Member Wyden requested a briefing on matters related to my and Senator Johnson’s Biden investigation from the very same FBI HQ team that discredited the derogatory Hunter Biden information. *2 The concurrent opening of Auten’s assessment, the efforts by the FBI HQ team and the efforts by the FBI to provide an unnecessary briefing to me and Senator Johnson that provided our Democratic colleagues fodder to falsely accuse us of advancing foreign disinformation draws serious concern.

Second, it has been alleged that in September 2020, investigators from the same FBI HQ team were in communication with FBI agents responsible for the Hunter Biden information targeted by Auten’s assessment. The FBI HQ team’s investigators placed their findings with respect to whether reporting was disinformation in a restricted access sub-file reviewable only by the particular agents responsible for uncovering the specific information. This is problematic because it does not allow for proper oversight and opens the door to improper influence. *1 Third, in October 2020, an avenue of additional derogatory Hunter Biden reporting was ordered closed at the direction of ASAC Thibault. My office has been made aware that FBI agents responsible for this information were interviewed by the FBI HQ team in furtherance of Auten’s assessment. It’s been alleged that the FBI HQ team suggested to the FBI agents that the information was at

risk of disinformation; however, according to allegations, all of the reporting was either verified or verifiable via criminal search warrants. In addition, ASAC Thibault allegedly ordered the matter closed without providing a valid reason as required by FBI guidelines. Despite the matter being closed in such a way that the investigative avenue might be opened later, it’s alleged that FBI officials, including ASAC Thibault, subsequently attempted to improperly mark the matter in FBI systems so that it could not be opened in the future.

The aforementioned allegations put a finer point on concerns that I have raised for many years about political considerations infecting the decision-making process at the Justice Department and FBI. If these allegations are true and accurate, the Justice Department and FBI are – and have been – institutionally corrupted to their very core to the point in which the United States Congress and the American people will have no confidence in the equal application of the law.

Attorney General Garland and Director Wray, simply put, based on the allegations that I’ve received from numerous whistleblowers, you have systemic and existential problems within your agencies.

You have an obligation to the country to take these allegations seriously, immediately investigate and take steps to institute fixes to these and other matters before you.

In light of the serious allegations and my ongoing investigation into Justice Department and FBI misconduct, I expect you to provide the following no later than August 8, 2022, as a preliminary matter so that Congress can perform an

Assemblymember Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

California’s spending priorities are often seriously out-of-whack.

We spend billions on a bullet train to nowhere that few will ever ride, yet we refuse to spend available funds on new dams, reservoirs and aqueducts during repeated periods of drought. Once-in-a-while though, we get it right.

Our local fire departments are essential for public safety, responding to the ever-present threat of wildfires, along with other life threatening emergencies like automobile accidents and heart attacks. Ensuring they have the means to respond quickly and effectively has been a big priority for me in Sacramento. Once again this year, I’m very happy that my efforts to obtain funding for local fire departments in our region have succeeded.

During the budgeting process, I obtained $8 million for the Deer Springs Fire Protection District to fund a new permanent station

at Deer Springs Road and the Interstate 15 freeway. Centrally located along I-15 in North San Diego County, the station will act as a regional hub for critical emergency response throughout the region. Replacing trailers that have housed the facility for over 40 years with a larger permanent facility is essential for the station’s mission to safeguard the area’s growing population.

I’m also very happy that I was able to direct $2 million to the San Marcos Fire Department, to be used for capital improvements on Fire Station 3, which requires extensive remodeling to improve safety and security for the building and for personnel. In addition, all four San Marcos stations need to install diesel exhaust removal systems to remove exhaust fumes from the apparatus bay areas to ensure firefighter safety.

These monies are in addition to the almost $3 million I acquired last cycle for three local fire districts: Valley Center, North County and Rincon. First responders protect our homes and lives every day.

As your Assembly representative, I will continue to do all I can to make sure they have what they need to do their jobs safely and effectively.

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

Anza peacock struts his stuff Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

Peafowl are popular and beautiful additions to many ranches in the Anza Valley. But one such bird named Peter has completely stolen his owner’s heart.

“Peter was an early Mother’s Day gift from my son Daniel the year before last,” Tara Butchart said. “We got him locally. Apparently, he was the lone peacock living in a gutted out trailer from what my boys told me.”

Butchart’s husband Harold and her sons built a large aviary for Peter, accommodating his every avian wish. The bird tried hard to fit in, displaying his wonderful tail to the family’s chickens and other pets.

“Most of the animals even now are terrified of him, except Dolly Kitty,” Butchart explained. “On the rare occasion that she sneaks out or we let her out with supervision, she runs straight to him. She loves Peter.”

Peafowl are native to India, China, Java and the Philippines, and have adapted to many locations worldwide.

Bergman’s Museum in Aguanga is famous for its resident flock of peafowl.

Summer thunderstorms bring excitement and much-needed rainfall during the southwest’s monsoon season. But the torrential downpours, lightning and potential flooding can present very real dangers to drivers traversing affected highways and interstates.

The typical monsoon season runs from June through September.

Although much of the region is known for having an arid climate, the monsoon season can produce heavy rain, lightning, possible hail, high winds, flash flooding, dust storms and extreme heat and humidity.

The Arizona Department of Transportation urges drivers to be prepared for these summer storms and offers safety tips for residents throughout the southwest.

Expect the unexpected, ADOT advises. Have extra supplies, including a fully charged cellphone, drinking water and an emergency kit in case of an extended highway closure.

Thunderstorms can create microbursts, violent downdrafts that can give rise to dust storms, as well as heavy rain. It’s best to pull over and wait for the storm to move through the area. When faced with low- or zero-visibility conditions, pull your vehicle off the road as far to the right as possible. Turn off your lights, set the parking brake and take your foot off the brake pedal. These steps reduce the chances that other drivers mistake your vehicle as the one to follow and collide with your car or truck.

Never risk crossing a flooded roadway. Even if it doesn’t look deep, water is a powerful force that should not be underestimated.

Even a few inches of running water may be a dangerous situation.

Don’t drive around road closed signs, they have been erected for a good reason.

In most states, when traffic lights are not functioning, motorists must treat an intersection just like a four-way stop.

According to ADOT, storm runoff can also loosen boulders and

ANZA LOCAL PEACOCK from page B-1 “Peacocks have been here as long as I can remember,” Tom McGiffin said.

The common peafowl, Pavo cristatus, has been mentioned in the earliest historical records. The birds were known to the Greeks and Romans, as well as the Hebrews in biblical times.

According to Wikipedia, male peafowl are referred to as peacocks and female peafowl as peahens.

Butchart figured Peter could benefit from a mate and found two peahens that were available. One died from unknown causes. The remaining hen, named Flannery, is still not impressed by Peter’s colorful efforts to win her over.

But he persists.

Besides their beautiful feathers, peacocks are also known for their piercing calls. Peter’s vocalizations are welcomed by the Butchart family.

“He mostly honks for alarm and caws when he’s really letting us know something is going on we should check out,” she said. “The peahen sounds just like a cat.

We often mistake her for a cat at first, and I have found no rhyme DRIVE from page B-1 rocks on the slopes above highways.

Stay alert in areas prone to falling rocks.

Additional precautions include inspecting your windshield wipers and replacing them if necessary.

Peter’s courtship displays are

a local social media sensation.

The almost daily posts have made him a favorite among Butchart’s friends and family.

with his incredible beauty. He’s even let me be enveloped in his fan. It was way cool,” Butchart said.

Avoid sections of roadway where water is pooling in travel lanes. If possible, use center lanes and drive in the tracks of the vehicle ahead of you.

On wet roads, the tires of larger vehicles such as trucks and buses, create water spray that can lessen visibility, so don’t follow them too closely.

Be cautious of hydroplaning. This happens when a thin layer of water accumulates between your tires and the road surface, causing your vehicle to lose contact with the roadway. You might suddenly feel your vehicle sliding or drifting because you’ve lost traction. If you feel you are hydroplaning, ease your foot off the gas pedal until you regain trac-

tion. Do not brake suddenly. If you are sliding or drifting, gently turn your steering wheel in the direction of your slide to regain control.

By following some safety advice from the Arizona Department of Transportation, you can be safe and sound this monsoon season.

of Twix. You just can’t have one without the other.

Jesus said, “If you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins,” in Matthew 6:14-15.

It makes forgiveness essential to your life. You cannot receive the free and undeserved gift of God’s grace and forgiveness while refusing to forgive someone who’s hurt you.

It’s why the Bible said to, “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you,” in Ephesians 4:31-32.

Which brings us to Step 3.

Own up to being wrong.

Lots of people have the attitude that their friends are lucky to have them. They think they are the biggest blessing in the relationship, which leads to a lot of issues.

We become too proud to admit when we’re wrong and end up saying things like, “They are just overreacting, it’s not a big deal,” or “I really haven’t done anything wrong.” All the while the other person has been genuinely hurt by us.

This kind of arrogance has left a slew of ruined relationships in its wake. It goes opposite the teachings of Jesus. He wanted us to pursue reconciliation.

Jesus said, “If you are offering your gift at the altar and there re-

member that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar.

First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift,” in Matthew 5:23-24.

In other words, go to the person and ask forgiveness. Take the steps toward reconciliation and own up to being wrong.

Then you can do Step 4 more efficiently.

Do good to those who harm you and bless them.

In God’s kingdom we are to act in direct contrast to the kingdom of Satan. That’s why Jesus said, “To you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you,” in Luke 6:27.

It’s one of the ways the world will recognize you had God’s child.

Jesus said, “Love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful,” in Luke 6:35-36.

Relationships aren’t always easy.

But with these biblical principles it makes restoration possible.

How to restore relationships

Zachary Elliott SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Have you ever made a mess of a relationship? Either with a spouse, friend or a family member?

I think every person on the planet could answer that question with a resounding yes.

Relationships aren’t always easy, because we are all imperfect people and prone to selfishness, and it can bring a lot of hurt into friendships.

Maybe you’re reading this column today and dealing with the hurt of a failed relationship. Maybe somewhere along the line you did something hurtful to someone you love. Or maybe they did something to hurt you.

Today, I want God’s word to teach us how to restore relationships in our lives. I believe good, loving and healthy relationships are essential to every area of your life. Life is short; therefore, make your relationships great.

Here are four steps on how to restore relationships and keep them healthy.

Leave your grudges behind.

I’ve met people who have held onto a grudge for decades. They can’t remember all the details of why they’ve been mad for so long, but they keep the grudge going.

If you’re holding a grudge against someone, let me tell you from experience the only person it’s really hurting is you. And it’s ungodly.

The Bible said never to seek “revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord,” in Leviticus 19:18.

God always has an answer to your grudge. It’s kindness. That’s why we need Step 2.

Be quick to forgive.

Letting go of a grudge and forgiveness go together like a pair

Queen Nation lights up the Santa Rosa Plateau with song and dance Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The antics and enthusiasm displayed by Freddie Mercury, better known as Queen, portrayed by Queen Nation’s Gregory Finsley, affected the huge crowd at Santa Rosa Plateau Nature Education Foundation’s Summer Concert Series at the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve in Murrieta Saturday, July 23.

Queen Nation’s rock ‘n’ roll music brought dozens of fans to the newly built outdoor dance floor at the Plateau to dance and wave to Queen’s familiar songs from albums “Love of My Life” and “We Will Rock You” that continued well into the evening.

“I Need Somebody to Love” was a big favorite to the sold-out crowd that attended the SRPNEF fundraiser. The summer concerts raise funds to provide school field trips for hundreds of local elementary to high school students to learn how to take care the nature and the environment around them in the future, The Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve is managed by Riverside County Open Space and Park District, but it depends upon SRPNEF for its many volunteers and docents.

The Reserve allows public access to its many hiking and horseback riding trails with more opening soon, after the Tenaja Fire closed the park for the past several years.

Queen Nation features Finsley as Mercury, Mike MacManus as guitarist Brian May, Peter Burke on drums as Roger Taylor and Parker Combs as bassist John Deacon. More on Queen Nation can be found at http://queennation.com.

Many fans danced with closed eyes and listened to the concert, as if they were attending a real Queen concert.

Before Queen Nation performs in concert, guests purchase local art pieces at the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve Visitor Center with some of the purchase price helping the Santa Rosa Plateau Nature Education Foundation’s effort to teach youngsters how to be good stewards of nature and the environment. The Center remains closed except for concerts.

Sun falls over Old Town’s Taste Of Temecula event Ava Sarnowski VALLEY NEWS INTERN

The second annual Summer Sunset Taste of Old Town kicked off Wednesday, July 27, from 5-9 p.m., offering visitors and local residents the chance to enjoy select businesses spread all across town through eclectic samplings. Be it through wines, food or distinctive treats, the occasion succeeded in bringing shop owners and consumers together.

Those in attendance began their journey outside “Citrus and Moss,” where they were given a map that charted each shop to visit, as well as a complementary wristband. The “Citrus and Moss” gift shop on Old Town Front Street provided guests with a spiked lemonade. Their interior design demeanor impressed many of the visitors as the owners and was full of goods to buy.

From that point on, guests were encouraged to go explore any of the shops located on their map and try out what they were presenting. A wide variety of Old Town’s shops participated in the event, which stretched from Rancho California Road down to 2nd Street, many of which featured live music accompaniment from local talented musicians.

Beginning on 5th Street, “The Gambling Cowboy” offered guests a short-rib mac ‘n’ cheese. The rustic yet elegant ambience of the establishment was further enhanced by singer Brynn Elise and keyboardist Clayton Powell. Over at the cowboy-inspired Mexican cuisine, Rene’s Cowgirl Cantina, provided their visitors with chili verde street tacos. Olivedipity, a business founded by its love for olive oils and balsamic vinegar, served two different olive oil infused brownies for guests to try.

They were paired with vegetables and flavored balsamic.

The Temecula Valley Cheese Co., prides itself in offering some of the finest cheeses. Many of these cheeses were available to taste-test, all paired with red or white wine samples. The live

music cascading throughout their shop was provided by Tom Begley, both singer and guitarist.

Old Town’s newly established shop, Our Matcha Place, specializes in creating ceremonial, organic, Japanese matcha and hojicha specialty drinks. Owner Courtney Ziani shared samples of their matcha tea lemonade shot, paired with mini scones. The shop’s selection of treats popped against the shop’s pink-infused interior.

The Temecula Lavender Co. was created out of love for the lavender herb. The very nature of the herb, one of peace, purification and longevity, was exemplified within their shop. The Temecula Lavender Co. offered tasters with a lavender herbed goat cheese spread, paired with a lavender iced tea. Depending on the preferences of the guest, they could also choose between a 2 ounce bottle of lavender or a lavender and lemon lotion.

Outside the “Old Town Sweet Shop, the Wine Valley Harmonizers Barbershop Quartet sang to folks passing by. Inside the shop, samples of raspberry fudge squares were shared.

The Landeros Mexican Grill specializes in authentic Mexican food. For those engaging in the Taste of Temecula event, the restaurant gave out mini papa and

birria tacos, paired with Limonada and Horchata. The Blackbird Tavern, supplied three different food samples that were presented and readily available upon walking deeper into the establishment.

These three choices included brussel sprouts, tossed in mustard aioli and capers, spicy green chicken curry with rice and chocolate bread pudding. The dessert was drizzled in chocolate and caramel.

Baily’s Old Town served asparagus bruschetta and buffalo wings and featured live music from Chris Mattson. Neighboring Devilicious, provided bacon wrapped mac ‘n’ cheese, prepared alongside house-made chipotle aioli. Taking a bite into the bacon revealed the smoked gouda mac ‘n’ cheese buried inside.

Adelaide served up a small platter of food, paired with a whiskey sour. The lounge prepared housemade meatballs with marinara and mozzarella, a little mac ‘n’ cheese with garlic panko and fried lemongrass chicken gyoza dumplings.

Folks who entered the Stone Church Brewery heard Tony Surachi singing at the microphone and were allowed two selections to sample from the brewery. Across the street, The Bank Mexican Restaurant gave out pineapple fajitas, lettuce tacos and zucchini boats.

linary gave their guests a lemon drop cookie. While on 6th Street, the Old Town Deli provided various tea sandwiches, coffee and an espresso dessert.

The Public House on Main Street offered a unique opportunity for guests, bringing them all together to sit down and collectively taste their goat toast. The dish was an herbed goat cheese panini, topped with three little sweet roasted tomatoes and balsamic reduction.

Wine tasting was also available at the Big Nose Winery, out toward

the Main Town Street Bridge.

Their discrete yet intimate location offered a clear view of the settling sun as the event came to a full close, accompanied by the distant sound of a saxophone playing along to classic jazz songs.

For those hoping to join in on the next “Taste of Old Town,” another one is scheduled for this December. For more information, visit http://www.oldtowntemecula.org.

Murrieta man competes at World Athletics U20 Championships in Colombia JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

SANTIAGO de CALI, COLOMBIA – On the heels of the World Outdoor Championships last week, comes the eye-catching world debut for some of the country’s best younger track and field stars at the World U20 Outdoor Championships. From Aug. 1-6, U.S. high schoolers and collegians will compete among the best U20 athletes in the world in Colombia to cap off the 2022 outdoor season, including Cade Moran of Murrieta.

Moran is one of the more wellknown local, and now national, high school names from this past track and field season, especially in the shot put and discus events.

Competing out of Murrieta Mesa High School for the past four years, Moran finished fourth in the shot put and seventh in the discus at the 2022 Nike Outdoor Nationals; third in the shot put at the 2022 Nike Indoor Nationals and fourth at the shot put at the 2022 New Balance Nationals Indoors; runner-up in the shot put at The Outdoor Nationals 2021 and placed 19th in the discus; won the 2021 CIFSS Division 1 Finals in

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

CARY, N.C. – USA Baseball recently named to the 72-man roster for the 13U/14U Athlete Development Program, which includes two local teens from Menifee and Wildomar. In all, 30 players from California were selected, making up the most from any State in the U.S. Wildomar’s Andrew Jimenez, an infielder and right-handed pitcher, joined Taytum Reeves of Menifee, a catcher and infielder, at the 2022 development event, which took place over this past week at the USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, North Carolina.

The Athlete Development Program allows athletes to connect with USA Baseball coaches, task force and national team staff to better prepare for a future national team experience. Participants take part in skill development sessions,

off-field educational seminars and a series of intrasquad Stars vs. Stripes games to assist in developing the athletes as both a player and a person. The off-field development sessions focus on educating athletes about the NCAA and the recruiting process, umpire interaction, nutrition and wellness guidance, strength and conditioning education, media training and character and leadership development.

“We were very excited to announce the 72 athletes that made up the 13U/14U Athlete Development Program roster,” Ben Kelley, USA Baseball Director of Baseball Operations, said. “Our coaches and Task Force members have worked extremely hard the past year and have done a tremendous job scouting and identifying the best 13- and 14-year-old athletes who will be a part of this program.”

The 2022 roster included athletes who participated in USA

Baseball identification events such as the National Team Identification Series and the National Team Championships. The ADP itself is also an identification event as participating athletes were evaluated for the opportunity to be invited to the 2022 15U National Team Training Camp later in August.

Forty-four athletes played in the National Team Championships, with 30 players selected from the event in North Carolina and 14 from Arizona. The roster also featured 24 players selected from last year’s NTIS Champions Cup. Overall, 58 of the 72 athletes were new to USA Baseball programming this year.

Five players from the 2021 ADP returned for this year’s edition of the program. Additionally, nine players on the 2022 13U/14U ADP roster were members of the 2021 12U National Team.

Athletes were given the opportunity to gain experience from a

well-established coaching staff, including college head coaches Erik Bakich (Clemson), Randy Hood (UNC-Wilmington), Omar Johnson (Jackson State) and Elton Pollock (Presbyterian).

USA Baseball Director of Player Development Jim Koerner served as the field coordinator for the event. Mississippi State assistant coach Scott Foxwall was the pitching coordinator and five-time MLB All-Star Troy Tulowitzki was the hitting coordinator.

Bakich led the Team Navy and was joined by assistant coach Tyler Rost (Duke) and pitching coach Larry Vucan (Southlake Carroll [Texas] High School). Hood led Team White and was joined by assistant coach Josh Ellison (Chaparral [Ariz.] High School) and pitching coach John Weber (Cypress [Calif.] High School).

Johnson led Team Light Blue and was joined by assistant coach Bryan Madsen (St. Joseph [Calif.]

High School) and pitching coach Brad Hall (Orange Lutheran [Calif.] High School). Lastly, Pollock led Team Red and was joined by assistant coach Jim Maciejewski (Mauldin [S.C.] High School) and pitching coach Eric Borba (Orange Lutheran [Calif.] High School).

Murrieta boxer wins ABO North American middleweight title JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

LOS ANGELES – Extending his undefeated win streak to nine, all by way of knockout, Murrieta boxer Raul Lizarraga wasted no time Saturday, July 30, defeating Luis Alberto Vera in the first round of their middleweight bout. As part of the All Star Boxing Promotions card, held at the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles County, Lizarraga and Vera were fighting to attain the vacant American Boxing Organization North American Middleweight title belt.

All signs pointed toward the younger fighter, Lizarraga, who is just one month shy of his 21st birthday, as he stepped into the ring for the six-round bout. Fighting out of La Plata, Buenos Aires, Luis Alberto Vera (11-20-2, 1 KO) had lost seven of his last eight bouts. Six of those losses for the almost 35-year-

old boxer were by knockout.

Before Lizarraga winning the title, the vacant ABO North American Middleweight belt was held by Patrice Volny, who was the reigning champion since September 2018. Volny lost his belt to Esquiva Falcao in the IBF’s middleweight rankings in 2021. A gruesome gash above the left eyebrow of Falcao was too much to withstand forcing a technical split decision over Volny in their elimination match.

The cut he sustained during the sixth round prohibited the Brazilian southpaw from continuing on the pay-per-view portion of the Terence Crawford-Shawn Porter undercard. Judges Tim Cheatham (58-56) and Don Trella (58-57) had Falcao in front at the time of the stoppage, including an incomplete sixth round they were required to score in accordance with the Association of Boxing Commission’s regulations. The belt could

End of an era; Valley Junior Golf Association ceases operations after one last event Derryl Trujillo SPORTS WRITER

RIVERSIDE – For three and a half decades Val and Lou Skovron have been staples in the Riverside County community as owners and operators of the Valley Junior Golf Association.

They have provided low-cost competition at quality venues and helped develop children for the myriad junior golf tours that are now dotting the landscape. But as that song by The Byrds goes “To everything there is a season” and Thursday, July 28, the season of the Skovrons’ story ended.

Riverside’s Goose Creek Golf Club served as host of the final event and Lou Skovron remarked about the venues which have hosted his tour.

“They’ve all been great to our kids by allowing us to play their courses,” Skovron said. “Gary Player once said when asked what his favorite course was that it was the one he was at the moment, and that’s the philosophy we’ve taken. They don’t have to give up spots on their tee sheets for us, but they do and for that we are always grateful.”

When the Skovrons complete the sale of their home, they will move to Arizona to be closer to their son Joe, a PGA Tour caddie for Rickie Fowler.

They will also leave behind decades of memories and when asked to reminisce a bit Lou Skoveron added, “For both of us it has been about growing the game and the most gratifying thing is that kids who played our tour in the early days are beginning to have kids and they’re coming out here to play.

That’s what it’s about; whether they play professionally after us or go onto college and the workforce, giving them an opportunity to enjoy this game for life.”

He further elaborated, “My wife Valerie deserves a ton of credit because in the early years she was running things while I was teaching and working for the tour part time.

Running the tour together has been

a tremendous thing that has allowed us to grow closer together along with having our son play on the tour.”

Notable alumni include Rickie Fowler, Joe Skovron, Brendan Steele, Kevin Na and Hunter Mahan of the PGA Tour along with the LPGA Tour’s Sydnee Michaels.

Valerie Skovron reminded the players during one last awards ceremony that the friends you make out here are beyond golf and the golf was spectacular on a blustery afternoon.

In the 15-18-year-old boys division Yucaipa’s Spencer Payne shot a front nine score of 29 (-6) which included four birdies in a row from three through six and bookend birdies at one and nine. Although he struggled on the way home with back-to-back bogeys (10 and 11) and a double bogey (14), he made key birdies at 12 and 17 to beat Riverside’s Bear Huff with a total two-day score of 140 (-2).

“Even after such a hot start I knew that Bear was more than capable of getting it going so I had to stop the bleeding with those two birdies on the par 5s,” Payne, a Thunderbirds incoming senior who was Citrus Belt League runner-up last year, said. “It

is a big confidence booster to play this well here because I wasn’t very confident coming into this week.

“I used to be a fiery and temperamental player, but Val and Lou taught me to tone that down which really helped my game,” Payne said.

“Once I got through scoring, players who I had never even met or played with before were congratulating me on the round. That says something about what they’ve built here… respectful competition at quality courses with a family atmosphere.

They’ve been awesome to all of us and we’ll miss them.”

King’s Bear Huff said the couple means “the world” to him.

“They brought me into the system when I was four and have been like a second family to me on the golf course,” Huff said. “I’m so happy I was able to be in town and play in their final event.”

His father, James Huff, said the couple taught not only the children the game, “but us as parents to appreciate the magic of golf in a family-oriented atmosphere. It’s affordable, local, genuine and we are sad to see them go but grateful for everything they’ve done.”

In the girls 15-18 age group Riv-

erside’s Sofia Vargas, who played at King her first two years but will home-school going forward, made two late birdies on 16 and 17 to shoot 69-71=140 (-2) and win.

“I felt really good about my game and enjoyed the players I got to play with this week on a tough golf course,” Vargas said. “They’ve (the Skovrons) been a huge part of my journey and it has been such a blessing to have this opportunity as I’ve come up through the ranks. I heard about VJGA through word-of-mouth

and although I am happy they’ll get to spend time with their son, it is sad knowing this is the end of their tour. I have made so many friends out here and those friendships are what has made this so special to be part of because like Val said they go beyond golf.”

The South Valley League baseball coaches met before the 20212022 school year ended, in order to go over the selections for the All-League teams. The Temecula Prep Patriots took the top spot in the standings this past season with a 9-1 record, going 18-9 overall. Following the Patriots was Nuview Bridge (8-2), Santa Rosa Academy (7-3), San Jacinto Valley Academy (4-6). Cal. Mil. Institute and St. Jeanne de Lestonnac went 1-9.

Depending on where a team places in the league standings determines how many First and Second Team selections they received. Of course, there is always wiggle room, especially when a player from a team that may not have the best record outshines other players.

Temecula Prep had a season of success, making it through to the second round of the CIF Southern

Section Division 7 playoffs, where they fell to Baldwin Park, 5-3. The Patriots also nearly had a clean sweep of the top league awards, with Roman Meyers taking home MVP, Ryan Cardenas being named Pitcher of the Year and head coach Jason Litt getting named Coach of the Year. San Jacinto Valley Academy received the Sportsmanship Award.

Meyers hit .500 this past season and led the league in hits (32), home runs (5) and doubles (8).

Cardenas led the league on the mound with a 3.28 ERA in 42.2 innings pitched, had 38 Ks and 4 wins and 2 losses.

California aims to make its own insulin brand to lower price Adam Beam THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A vial of insulin cost $25 in 1995, back when Chris Noble was 5 years old and just learning how to manage his Type 1 diabetes with the help of his parents and his doctors.

Nearly three decades later, Noble said the same vial of insulin costs more than $300 – a 12-fold increase for something he and millions like him can’t live without.

“It’s as essential as water,” Noble said.

Health care advocates have bemoaned for years that insulin, while inexpensive to produce, is held hostage by a U.S. health care system stubbornly resistant to reforms as companies monopolize and maximize profits.

Now, with several insulin patents nearing their expiration dates, California is looking to disrupt that market by making its own insulin and selling it for a much cheaper price. Last month, after a few years of study, state lawmakers approved $100 million for the project, with $50 million dedicated to developing three types of insulin and the rest set aside to invest in a manufacturing facility.

Gov. Gavin Newsom and state lawmakers still have many details to work out, including contracting with a private company to do most of the work. But the budget was a put-his-money-where-his-mouth-is moment for Newsom, who has been calling for the state to launch its own brand of generic drugs to lower the overall price of medication.

“Nothing epitomizes market

failures more than the cost of insulin,” Newsom said in a video posted to his Twitter account.

“California is now taking matters into our own hands.”

It wouldn’t be the first time California has made its own medicine.

In 1990, about half of all cases of infant botulism – a rare illness that affects the large intestine – were in California. The California Department of Public Health got a federal grant to develop and test a treatment. The treatment won federal approval in 2003, and California has been making it ever since.

But the market for infant botulism treatments is small, with about 110 cases reported each year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. One course of California’s botulism treatment costs more than $57,000, according to a legislative analysis.

Meanwhile, about 7 million people in the United States require insulin to manage their diabetes.

The human body converts most of the food we eat into sugar. The pancreas produces insulin, which converts that sugar into energy.

People who have diabetes don’t produce enough insulin. People with Type 1 diabetes must take insulin every day to survive.

Insulin was first discovered in the 1920s by a team of Canadian scientists. They sold the patent to the University of Toronto for $1, hoping the school would license the product to multiple companies to prevent a monopoly that would lead to high prices.

But over time, the insulin market was slowly cornered. Today, just

San Jacinto sheriff’s station hosts ‘Otter Pop with a Cop’

SAN JACINTO – The city of San Jacinto and the San Jacinto Riverside County Sheriff’s Station recently hosted “Otter Pop with a Cop,” an outreach event for the city’s children.

“The men and women of the sheriff’s department in San Jacinto are key to the safety and security of our residents,” San Jacinto Mayor Crystal Ruiz said. “Reaching out to our youth and allowing them to meet, talk and build relationships with our police officers is critical to the long term stability of our city.”

Hosted at the San Jacinto Sheriff’s station, the visiting children sat in police cars, on patrol motorcycles and talked with officers throughout the afternoon.

“Under the leadership of Sheriff Bianco, our deputies are commit-

ted to the communities we serve and take every opportunity for community outreach,” San Jacinto police Chief and Riverside County Sheriff Lt. Jeremy Harding said.

“Otter Pop with a Cop is a great event tailored just for our youth and we were impressed by the turnout.”

Each child who attended the event received Otter Pops and a snack bag to take home.

The next outreach event hosted

by San Jacinto and the San Jacinto Sheriff’s station was the 2022 National Night Out at Sallee Park in San Jacinto, Tuesday, Aug. 2.

three companies produce most of the world’s insulin. In the United States, the line between an insulin manufacturer and a patient is not straight. It zigs and zags between insurance companies and pharmacy benefit managers – third parties that manage prescription drug benefits for health plans.

It’s that system that has kept the cost of insulin much higher in the United States than other countries, as more companies benefit from the higher price tag, Kasia Lipska, an associate professor at the Yale School of Medicine, said.

“It creates this really weird incentive,” Lipska said.

California will try to break that incentive. The reason more companies haven’t entered the insulin market is because if they did, the established manufacturers would just undercut them, making it impossible to recoup their investment, Anthony Wright, executive director of Health Access California, a consumer advocacy group, said.

But California is in a different position because aside from selling insulin, it also buys the product every year for the millions of people on its publicly funded health plans.

That means if California’s product drives down the price of insulin across the market, the state would still benefit.

“That’s why California’s market power matters,” Wright said. “To a Wall Street investor, driving down the cost of insulin means you might not be able to get your investment back. To California, driving down the price of insulin is a real savings

to both taxpayers as well as to our residents.”

Still, there’s no guarantee California’s plan will work. For one thing, insurers and pharmacy benefit managers might not cover California’s insulin products, making it more difficult for patients to get them.

Sarah Sutton, director of public affairs for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, said a better idea would be for California to focus on “common-sense solutions” to address the role pharmacy benefit managers play in insulin pricing.

“That would bring real relief to patients right now,” she said.

Dr. Mark Ghaly, secretary of the California Health and Human

Services Agency, said he hopes a state as large as California making its own insulin would significantly diminish the role of pharmacy benefit managers in insulin pricing.

If successful, Ghaly said he thinks the price of Californiabranded insulin would be so competitive that patients could buy it off the shelf cheaper than going through their insurance plan.

“We expect to save hundreds of millions of dollars for California because of this,” Ghaly said. “This gives us an opportunity to create a blueprint for health care affordability that has been so far out of reach for states and, frankly, the federal government, and it’s really exciting to see where it can go.”

Riverside County confirmed, probable monkeypox cases rising significantly City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The total number of confirmed and probable monkeypox cases in Riverside County has increased by six since late last week to 34, with four of that 34 total confirmed as having the disease, a county spokesman said Monday, Aug. 1.

Jose Arballo, a spokesman for Riverside University Health System, said the six new probable/ confirmed cases are in men from eastern Riverside County between the ages of 20 and 70.

Last Thursday, Arballo had announced the total probable/ confirmed cases at 28, which was more than double the 13 probable/ confirmed total from the beginning of the week. Arballo also said one of the previous probable cases has since been assigned to San Bernardino County.

Arballo told City News Service that county health officials have distributed 116 doses of monkeypox vaccines to DAP Health, Eisenhower Health, Borrego Health and RUHS’ HIV clinic in the Coachella Valley from the county’s limited supply.

He said that the county had a little more than 1,000 doses of the two-dose-regimen JYNNEOS monkeypox vaccine, enough for about 500 people, before they were distributed into the Coachella Valley.

Shane Reichardt, a representative for RUHS, said the county has not received additional vaccine doses since Tuesday.

“We are currently working with our state partners on new shipments but the supply is still very limited,” he said.

According to health officials, the vaccine can prevent infection if given before or shortly after

exposure to the virus.

“By sharing the vaccine, which is in limited supply, we wanted to make it as easy as possible for patients to get the shot if they and their medical provider agree it is appropriate,” Kim Saruwatari, director of public health, said in a statement.

A portion of Riverside County’s supply of the JYNNEOS vaccines will be maintained by the county Department of Public Health in case a large-scale exposure event occurs, according to a statement from RUHS. The county is also working with community partners to expand the eligibility for the two-shot vaccines to include at-risk individuals, and to set up treatment sites with Tecovirimat – an antiviral medication used to treat orthopoxvirus infections like monkeypox – for patients, according to a statement from RUHS. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the California Department of Public Health advised that the vaccine be prioritized for high-risk and exposed patients.

Gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men are at increased risk of contracting the virus, according to the CDC. Rep. Raul Ruiz, D-Palm Desert, asked the state of California to allocate additional doses of monkeypox vaccines to the Coachella Valley, citing high-risk factors, including a disproportionately high immunocompromised population – largely due to an HIV-positivity rate that is more than twice as high as Los Angeles County.

Ruiz claimed that “California’s vaccine distribution strategy continues to overlook the Palm Springs area.”

“It is imperative that the CDC and the CDPC work quickly to

make these and any other necessary adjustments to better meet the demand for vaccines and ensure the threat of monkeypox is mitigated in our communities,” Palm Springs Mayor Lisa Middleton said.

Over the weekend, the World Health Organization declared monkeypox a “public health emergency of international concern.”

As of Monday, a total of 824 monkeypox cases were confirmed in California, the second-highest of any state, behind New York’s 1,390, while nationwide, the aggregate count was at 5,811, according to the latest CDC data.

Monkeypox is generally spread through intimate skin-to-skin contact, resulting from infectious rashes and scabs, though respiratory secretions and bodily fluids exchanged during extended physical episodes, such as sexual intercourse, can also lead to transmission, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.

Symptoms include fresh pimples, blisters, rashes, fever and fatigue. There is no specific treatment. People who have been infected with smallpox, or have been vaccinated for it, may have immunity to monkeypox.

People with symptoms are urged to visit a medical provider, cover the rash area with clothing, wear a mask and avoid close or skin-to-skin contact with others.

The CDC particularly recommended those steps for people who recently traveled to an area where monkeypox cases have been reported or who have had contact with a confirmed or suspected monkeypox case.

A full list of countries that have confirmed monkeypox cases is available at http://www.cdc.gov/ travel/notices/alert/monkeypox.

Ports delay fines for idling containers for another four weeks City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The boys enjoy blue ice pops and a visit with sheriff’s deputies at San Jacinto’s “Otter Pop with a Cop” event.

The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach postponed the implementation of a fee on companies whose import containers linger at marine terminals for another four weeks Friday, July 29.

The assessment would now take place, if necessary, Friday, Aug. 26.

The Container Dwell Fee has been delayed numerous times due to progress in reducing the number of containers at the terminals – with the ports saying Friday a 26% combined decline in aging

cargo on the docks since the fee was announced.

Over the next week, port officials will again monitor and reassess the fee’s possible implementation. The fines have been deferred every week since Nov. 22.

The fee is one of several efforts aimed at speeding the processing of cargo at the San Pedro Port Complex to eliminate a backlog of ships trying to deliver merchandise. Port of Los Angeles officials said when the policy was announced that about 40% of import containers were idling at terminals for at least nine days.

The fines, if implemented,

would begin at $100 per container, increasing by $100 per container each day. Containers set to be transported by truck and rail would incur fines if they remain at the port for nine days or more.

Fees collected from the policy would be reinvested into programs that aim to enhance efficiency, accelerate cargo velocity and address congestion impacts.

The policy to implement fees was developed in coordination with the Biden-Harris Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force, the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Port of Long Beach and supply chain stakeholders.

U.S. Postal Service announces it will oversee mail-in ballots ahead of midterm elections Jack Phillips THE EPOCH TIMES

The U.S. Postal Service confirmed it has created a division that will oversee mail-in ballots in future elections.

Adrienne Marshall, executive director of the newly created Election and Government Mail Services, said that it will oversee “election mail strike teams” in local communities to deal with possible problems.

“We are fully committed to the secure and timely delivery of the nation’s election mail,” she told media outlets July 27.

Several months ago, the Biden administration requested $5 billion to support the USPS’s mail-in voting operations over the next 10 years.

“This proposal expands on the essential public services that the Postal Service provides to the American people and will also help to relieve budget strain on local election offices across the country,” the administration wrote in March.

It also includes policies to make “official ballot materials free to mail and reducing the cost of other election-related mail for jurisdictions and voters” while “enhancing the Postal Service’s ability to securely and expeditiously deliver and receive mail in underserved areas,” the White House said at the time.

The USPS claimed it delivered 97.9% of ballots from voters to election officials within three days and 99.89% of ballots were delivered within seven days, during the 2020 election.

The Postal Service is sending guidance letters to election officials in each state and territory this week. So far, nearly 40 million ballots have been mailed to and from voters during primary elections.

Reliability and fraud Former President Donald Trump and some Republicans have said that mail-in ballots invite fraud and are unreliable.

Numerous lawsuits were filed in the wake of the 2020 election over the ballots, drop boxes and related policies, while some Republican

Party-controlled legislatures have tightened rules around absentee voting since then.

In 2005, former Democrat President Jimmy Carter and former White House chief of staff James Baker released a report that found mail-in and “absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud” while adding that “vote-buying schemes are far more difficult to detect when citizens vote by mail.”

But years later, Carter in May 2020, months before the election, released a statement that called on states to expand mail-in voting due to COVID-19.

“To address this threat,” the statement said, “The Carter Center urges federal and state governments to expand access to voteby-mail options and to provide adequate funding as quickly as possible to allow for the additional planning, preparation, equipment and public messaging that will be required.”

Earlier this year, USPS officials confirmed they were investigating two separate incidents where

mail-in ballots were found in Southern California. A woman allegedly found a box of ballots on a sidewalk in Hollywood in May, while a man in San Diego found ballots discarded near

an interstate.

Vera Sharav

Matt McGregor THE EPOCH TIMES

Vera Sharav was only 3-years old when her world collapsed.

She and her family were chased out of Romania and herded into a concentration camp in Ukraine during World War II, where they were left to wait and starve.

“The cloud of death was always there,” Sharav told The Epoch Times.

Weekly, a list determined who would be sent where; whether it be a death or slave labor camp, she said.

While at the camp, she said her father died of typhus when she was 5, which had been widespread throughout the camps because of the cold and malnutrition.

After three years at the camp, she was rescued in 1944, she said.

“My mother got wind that a few orphans would be transported out of the camp, so she lied and said I was an orphan to save my life, and that’s how I wound up leaving,” Sharav said.

This began what she called her odyssey as a child without parents, left to her own intuition and keen critical assessment of others’ intentions.

“I had to assess who I could trust to take care of me,” she said.

While on a train to the Port of Constanta, Romania, where there were three boats awaiting to take groups of people to Palestine, she befriended a family. However, upon arrival, she found herself assigned a boat with other orphan children that would separate her from the family with whom she felt she could trust. So she rebelled.

“No matter what, I could not be convinced to get on that boat,” she said. “Miraculously, in the end, they gave in to me.”

Kim and his wife Kristen, with the help of their four children, have prepared a family “go bag” for such an emergency. They said the checklist on http://jw.org was helpful in guiding them to prepare everything they could need.

“When I don’t feel prepared, that’s when I get anxious,” Kristen Kim said. “So knowing our ‘go bag’ is there has helped ease my mind.”

“Having a personal preparedness plan increases your chances of staying safe,” according to a training program from Columbia University’s National Center for Disaster Preparedness.

Seasick, she fell asleep that night, only to wake up to find that the boat with the orphans had been torpedoed by who she said she found out decades later to have been the Russians.

Though she carried guilt for having survived, she was grateful she resisted because that resistance kept her alive, she said.

“I do not obey authority and it saved my life.”

Weaponized medicine These memories returned in 2020 during the web of COVID-19 restrictions that spun out of control with the help of media propaganda, she said.

“So now, when people are obeying authority mindlessly, giving up their rights to make decisions about their own lives and what goes into their own bodies, I think back to that time,” she said.

Today, Sharav is a medical activist and founder of the Alliance for Human Research Protection, a network of lay people and professionals who work to uphold humanitarian values and ethical standards established in the Hippocratic Oath, the Nuremberg Code and the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights.

Most recently, she’s joined with Scott Schara, co-founder of Our Amazing Grace’s Light Shines On Inc. Both Sharav and Schara discussed with The Epoch Times what they saw as parallels between the National Socialist regime in Germany and the current medical directives being carried out in the United States through government funding.

Since the death of his 19-yearold daughter Grace in a hospital in 2021, after having been injected with a combination of drugs that he found out later was part of a Jolted awake by a neighbor’s urgent knocking, Aaron and Jacqueline Pate said they were horrified to see the encroaching flames of the fast-moving Woolsey Fire that had been miles away when they went to bed. It burned to within 100 feet of their Westlake Village home in 2018 as part of California’s deadliest wildfire season on record.

“Because we had ‘go bags,’ we weren’t running around trying to pack things at the last minute,” Jacqueline Pate said. “We had the time we needed to comfort our kids and get everyone safely into the car.”

The Pates credited the disasterpreparedness help they received as Jehovah’s Witnesses, both through periodic reminders at their congregation meetings and from tips for putting together “go bags” on

federal hospital protocol, Schara called what was happening “genocide.” He has been crusading to tell his daughter’s story and network with others who have had a similar experience while bringing attention to the protocols that he believes amounted to the murder of his daughter, who had Down syndrome.

Under the Nazi regime, Sharav said, medicine was weaponized, as it has been today.

Though the Jews were the primary target, she said, the first medically murdered victims were disabled German infants and children under the age of 3.

This later expanded the operation, titled T4 for the street address of the program’s central office in Berlin, to the disabled of all ages, including the mentally ill and senior citizens, Sharav said.

“The Nazis called them worthless eaters,” she said. “T4 was a concerted effort to be rid of what their propaganda called the ‘economic burden.’”

Schara pointed to a 2021 Medicare Trustees Report, which evaluates the cost of keeping the elderly and disabled federally funded.

“Thirty-nine percent of that federal budget goes to those two groups right now, which is $2.2 trillion a year,” Schara said.

On page 11 of the report, there is a call for “substantial changes” to address financial challenges.

“The sooner solutions are enacted, the more flexible and gradual they can be,” the report states.

For Schara, the implication, while not overtly stated, suggests a call for eugenics that was supported by academic elites early in U.S. history and later adopted

by Nazi Germany.

Ten years after he took power, Adolf Hitler launched his genocide program that had been introduced in incremental steps with the help of propaganda portraying the regime as heroes, Sharav said.

“What happened to Grace, and what happened to many disabled and elderly in Western Europe, Australia, Canada and the United States in March and April 2020 was medical murder,” Sharav said.

‘Built on a lie’ Genocide isn’t new to the United States, Sharav said, as it was Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court Oliver Wendell the organization’s website, http:// jw.org.

“Life is precious, so we encourage all to heed the Bible’s advice to take practical steps to protect ourselves from danger,” Robert Hendriks III, representative for Jehovah’s Witnesses in the United States, said.

“Go bags” also have proven useful in the opposite circumstances as “stay bags.”

Disaster-preparedness suggestions and tips for putting together a “go bag” are available from FEMA at http://ready.gov and from Jehovah’s Witnesses at https://www. jw.org/en/library/magazines/ awake-no5-2017-october/disastersteps-that-can-save-lives/.

Holmes who voted in favor of the 8-1 majority opinion in the 1921 case Buck v. Bell, which upheld the Virginia Sterilization Act of 1924 and the forced sterilization of Carrie Buck, who was alleged to be mentally defective.

Holmes said it would be better to prevent the mentally disabled from being born than to allow them to “sap the strength of the state” or “let them starve for their imbecility.”

“The principle that sustains compulsory vaccinations is broad enough to cover cutting Fallopian tubes,” the justice wrote in his opinion. “Three generations of imbeciles are enough.”

Carrie Buck, however, was never actually mentally disabled, Sharav said.

“Arguments for eugenics are always built on a lie,” Sharav said. “But it’s an ideology that continues to poison public health policies.” And he blames this type of thinking for the medical decisions that ultimately contributed to Grace’s death.

‘The banality of evil’ As he continues to try to wrap his mind around what happened to his daughter, Schara says he gained some insight from the writings of Holocaust survivor Hannah Arendt and her concept of the “banality of evil.”

“It opened up a whole different view of the world for me,” Schara said.

Sharav’s experience made her familiar with the concept. The banality of evil is the normalization of mass murder by making it a bureaucratic routine that is handed down as orders through the chain of command to the person who pulls the switch, gives the injection or turns on the gas, she said.

“No one called it murder,” Sharav said. “The Nazis were very adept at propaganda and language.

The Jews were called ‘spreaders of disease,’ not unlike the epithets thrown at those who didn’t take the jab.”

Throughout 2021, the spread of COVID-19 was blamed on “the pandemic of the unvaccinated,” a phrase that was used by President Joe Biden and governors such as North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper.

“The whole language of it is dehumanizing,” Sharav said.

‘A slippery slope’ Schara applies the concept to the fact that 67% of Down syndrome children are aborted in the United States, he said.

“Doctors encourage the mother to get an amnio (amniocentesis) test and if the test shows Down syndrome or another disability that would complicate the parent’s life, he encourages an abortion,” Schara said.

What Sharav said she’s seen is an unholy union when medicine gets into bed with the government.

“The Hippocratic Oath goes out the window,” she said.

The pledge to “do no harm” got replaced with allegiance to “the greater good,” Sharav said.

The question then remains, who has the authority to decide what’s best for the greater good, Sharav challenged.

What supports the greater good is having respect for the individual, Sharav said, and to pursue policies that advocate for the many over the individual is to open the door to medical practices that will cause harm.

“Look at what Big Pharma is doing now to children, aggressively pursuing them to be jabbed when they aren’t at risk at all from COVID-19,” she said.

It’s a slippery slope that, with the help of advanced technology, society is sliding down rapidly compared to the snail’s pace that it took for Hitler to implement his “Final Solution,” Schara said.

“We’re headed there exceptionally fast,” Schara said. “Today, the ‘Final Solution’ is the reduction of the entire human population under the ‘Sustainable Agenda’ of Agenda 2030.”

Unlike the physical camps that required ink tattoos for identification and guards to manage the prisoners, the new prisons are digital, Sharav said, managed remotely by surveillance through smartphones and cities.

“With smart technology, you can manage billions all at once,” she said. “It’s chilling.”

COURTS & CRIMES

California court OKs death penalty in ’80s sex slave murders Don Thompson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The California Supreme Court Thursday, July 28, upheld the conviction and death penalty for one of two men implicated in at least 11 notorious horrific tortureslayings in the mid-1980s in which the duo kept their victims hidden in a secret bunker in the Northern California woods.

Thirty-seven years later, authorities are still trying to identify the remains of some of their victims.

Charles Ng, now 61, was convicted in 1999 of killing six men, three women and two baby boys in 1984 and 1985. He was initially accused of 13 slayings – 12 in Calaveras County and one in San Francisco.

He and his criminal partner, Leonard Lake, committed a series of kidnappings in which they engaged in bondage and sadism ending in murder. They were initially suspected of killing up to 25 people.

“This is one of those stories that’s been passed down through time in this community,” Calaveras County Lt. Greg Stark, whose father worked for the department at the time of the slayings, said.

“There’s been wild estimates and there’s been conservative estimates, and honestly I don’t think anybody will ever know, due to how they were disposing of the SURVIVOR from page B-9 that an elite few would conspire to cause widespread harm, Sharav said.

“People will say, ‘They made a mistake; it was an accident.’ But no, the elite, just like the Nazis, have this arrogance in which they believe they are superior and

bodies.”

Ng and Lake held their victims in a remote 2 1/2-acre Sierra Nevada fenced compound about 150 miles east of San Francisco.

It included a bunker with three rooms, two of them behind a hidden doorway. One hidden, locked room was furnished like a cell with a bed covered with a foam pad, a plastic bucket and a roll of toilet paper.

Lake killed himself with a cyanide capsule after police arrested him for shoplifting in San Francisco in 1985 and were questioning him before any bodies were found.

The justices said in a detailed 181-page analysis of the case that Ng received a fair trial, including a change of venue from Calaveras County to Orange County because of pre-trial publicity.

It was one of California’s longest and most expensive trials at the time, costing millions of dollars, partly because the court said Ng repeatedly attempted to delay and disrupt his own trial. That included extended debates over whether he could represent himself and who would be his attorneys.

The justices unanimously also concluded that Ng was properly extradited after he fled to Canada, where he was arrested in Calgary, Alberta, in 1985 for shoplifting and wounding a store guard. He fought extradition for six years

before the Supreme Court of Canada ordered him returned.

The men incriminated themselves with videotapes of them tormenting bound, terrified women they used as sex slaves before their murders.

Jurors were shown a tape of one woman pleading in vain for the men to spare her husband and baby as Ng cut off her shirt and bra with a knife in front of the camera.

Investigators also discovered piles of charred bones, bloodstained tools, shallow graves and a 250-page diary kept by Lake.

Four law enforcement agencies spent five weeks scouring the property, according to the court’s detailed description.

They found thousands of buried teeth and bone fragments throughout the property, with at least four of the dental specimens belonging to a child under age 3. “Many hundreds” of the bone fragments had been burned.

Two forensic anthropologists eventually concluded that the remains belonged to at least four adults, one child, and one infant.

Two men were found in a shallow grave not far from the property.

They had been bound, gagged and fatally shot.

Officials in Calaveras County last year exhumed additional bones and other human remains from a crypt in a cemetery where they had been kept since Ng’s

conviction, in hopes that modern DNA tracing could reveal their identities.

A sheriff’s chaplain read a brief invocation, and soon California Department of Justice criminalists and two forensic anthropologists began sorting and analyzing the remains.

They are initially hopeful that enough viable DNA is left for a comparison, said Stark, but the Department of Justice hasn’t yet run the comparisons in part because of more urgent active cases.

Investigators plan to compare the DNA to that from cooperating next of kin of the known victims, and run it through DNA databases in hopes of a comparison.

“Regardless if there are 11 (slayings) or more than 11, we’re hoping to categorize the remains and if possible return them to the families to give them their due respect and internment,” Stark said. “If we find additional identifications, we’ll definitely look into them and their connection to the case.”

Ng joined the Marine Corps after he came to the United States from Hong Kong. He earlier was imprisoned at Leavenworth, Kansas, for weapons theft while serving in the Marine Corps.

He and his defense attorneys argued that he was under the influence of Lake, an older man and survivalist who they said engineered the serial slayings. Ng

therefore entitled to rule the rest of us because they think we are inferior,” Sharav said.

Control vs. Faith Schara said his concern is with an elite ruling class that is godless, believing only in what is measurable and controllable.

He emphasizes his faith in God as a powerful weapon to combat

the dark agendas that have escalated beyond the comprehension of the average person, working 60 hours a week just to make ends meet.

“We should not fall trap to the false light that Satan will eventually ride in on to steal more souls.

God’s true light protects those who believe,” he said.

“We the People” can reclaim sovereignty by learning to trust in intuition, experience and the ability to assess lies from truth, Sharav said.

“Stop watching mainstream media,” Sharav said. “They’re all reading from the same script.

They have bombarded people with fearmongering, which is exactly

denied participating in many of the crimes.

His attorneys argued at the time that Ng was shaped as a child, when he was beaten by his father.

Gov. Gavin Newsom has imposed a moratorium on the death penalty so long as he is governor, and Ng still has the possibility of other federal appeals. the same thing that the Nazis did.

That’s how they controlled the population: through fear.”

For Sharav, the mission that has been laid at the feet of people throughout the world is the same as it was for her as a child: “Resist.

Wake up. Stop obeying.”
