MasterPiece Conference boosts self-esteem for young girls Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Regional News

When Keisha Montfleury found the courage to leave an unhealthy marriage and give her life to Christ, she realized that she was one of the biggest examples for children, not only physically but mentally, emotionally and spiritually. She wanted them, especially her daughters, to have a positive, living example as they grew up.

That realization is what led her to start hosting workshops in 2016 to encourage young girls to practice having a positive selfesteem, so they can participate in healthy relationships while knowing their worth through Christ.

In 2019, Montfleury founded her Abundantly Authentic faith-based nonprofit.

“We believe that our message is for everyone, but we focus on our young girls because I believe that

Water conservation remains a vital priority following decline of California’s reservoirs Ava Sarnowski INTERN WRITER

California released its most recent drought update Monday, Aug. 1, confirming that California has entered “the dry summer months with below-average reservoir storage and with the state’s largest reservoir, Shasta Lake, at critically low levels.”

These intensely hot conditions are expected to continue through November and will result in a late start to water year 2023, and the extension of fire season. The current outlook for water year 2023 is yet “another year of drought, as the third consecutive winter with La Niña conditions is expected,” the state said.

The state is currently taking action to prepare for the possibility of a fourth dry year, and all of California’s 58 counties are under a drought emergency proclamation. Californians were asked to reduce their water usage by 15%

Menifee files lawsuit against neighboring Perris over the dedesignation of Ethanac Road as a truck route Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

When the city of Perris, in an effort to cut down on the increasing number of warehouses in its city, declared Ethanac Road, which leads into Menifee and the Interstate 215 at Highway 74 as an undesignated truck route, it brought the ire of Menifee.

It meant that heavy trucks coming out of Perris and Menifee from a number of major industrial and commercial businesses could not legally use it to transport their goods and services. It also affected Menifee’s plans for an improved economic district in the northern gateway of the city where there remains a lot of vacant land. It could also affect trucks using Highway 74 leading into Hemet.

There were discussions between the two neighboring cities about w w w . m y v a l l e y n e w s . c o m

the redesignation, but Perris opted to declare Ethanac Road as an undesignated truck route, along with declaring a moratorium on constructing new warehouses in their city. Both Perris and Moreno Valley have large numbers of warehouses in the southern areas of their cities that have added to their economic growth but have created major traffic and pollution problems.

The result of Perris’s action in de-designating Ethanac Road as a truck route brought the lawsuit by the city of Menifee.

Menifee announced Monday, Aug. 1, it has filed a lawsuit against the city of Perris for “Unlawful Designation of Ethanac Road.” The lawsuit was issued, according to a news release, “to protect the plans, investments and permanent improvements that many public agencies, property owners, businesses and members of the public have reasonably and justifiable made based on Ethanac Road’s truck route designation, the city of Menifee has filed a petition for a writ of mandate and complaint against the city of Perris for unlawfully de-designating the roadway as a truck route.”

Menifee businesses using Ethanac Road include Viking Performance and Marine and temporarily closed RI Builders, Sissy’s Ceramics and the 76 Truck Stop off I-215 and others in the close vicinity. Other nearby businesses and Menifee residents use the highway as well.

“Ethanac Road serves as the northern gateway to Menifee and bisects the border between Perris and Menifee, with Perris owning the northern portion of the road and Menifee owning the southern portion. This route is part of a significant regional transportation network between I-15 and I-215, for which plans, commitments and funds have been devoted for many

The city of Perris no longer designates Ethanac Road as a truck route, and the city of Menifee has brought Valley News/Shane Gibson photo a lawsuit over the change.

years, including funding from multiple jurisdictions such as the city of Menifee, city of Lake Elsinore, county of Riverside, Western Riverside Council of Governments and the Riverside County Transportation Commission,” according to the city of Menifee.

The city of Perris after many meetings with Menifee decided still to change their general plan designation, listing Ethanac Road as an undesignated truck route.

“After several attempts by city of Menifee officials to work with the city of Perris to identify a solution to this issue, the city of Menifee was finally compelled to file a lawsuit to protect the interests of its residents and businesses as Perris’ action will harm Menifee’s future economic vitality. In the lawsuit, the city of Menifee argues that the city of Perris violated

CEQA and other state laws,” the city of Menifee said in a new release.

According to Menifee’s lawsuit, Perris is “failing to consider and evaluate the regional and cumulative impacts on the surrounding environment, including (without limitation) the city of Menifee, or persons, businesses or other public agencies in that city or any other neighboring community; failing to meet state requirements for public noticing and allowing at least a 30-day period for public review on issues of regional or area-wide significance; passing an ordinance for a highway that is not under the exclusive jurisdiction of the local authority enacting the ordinance and disregarding regional welfare in the evaluation of its ordinance and violating regional

transportation commitments and agreements.”

“Ethanac Road is a key roadway for Menifee and the action taken by the city of Perris to eliminate trucks from this vital corridor will cause irreparable harm to the future growth and economic development of our city,” Menifee City Manager Armando Villa said.

“We remain hopeful that we can continue to work collaboratively with Perris to come to a resolution that meets the needs of both our communities.”

While the lawsuit has been filed, there was no discussion about it in the Aug. 3 regular Menifee City Council meeting.

Because it is a legal issue the city of Perris could not respond to it at this time.

Menifee Council honors longtime resident and cityhood advocate Linda Denver

Menifee Mayor Bill Zimmerman, right, honors Citizen of the Month Linda Denver, second right, the wife of former Councilmember John Denver, for her years of volunteer service to the community and to form many of current service clubs and nonprofit organizations in Sun City and Menifee with councilmembers Matthew Liesemeyer and Lesa Sobek looking on. She was nominated by Councilmember Bob Karwin, left.

Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

In a relatively short meeting, the Menifee City Council honored retiring Financial Director Wendy Preece, named Linda Denver the Citizen of the Month and accepted an award from the Riverside County Habitat Conservation Agency Tuesday, Aug. 3.

Regular business was minimal with no public hearings scheduled or discussion items on the calendar. The recommended action to approve Community Facilities District 2017.1 annexation for services of Golden Meadows was pulled from the consent calendar for further action.

While honoring Preece, the council, with Councilmember

Dean Deines absent, presented her with a proclamation thanking her for her 13 years of service to the community. City Manager Armando Villa and Associate City Manager Rochelle Clayton were especially thankful for her service in preparing the annual city budgets and guiding the city with financial prowess since almost the time when Menifee became a city.

Her department won a number of financial planning awards in previous years.

Each of the present council members and Mayor Bill Zimmerman took time to congratulate her on her retirement and said she would be missed.

Councilmember Bob Karwin nominated Linda Denver, the wife of former Councilmember John Denver, for the Citizen of the Month Award because of her years of volunteer service to the community and helping to form many of current service clubs and nonprofit organizations in Sun City and Menifee. Karwin laughed and claimed she was “the shadow running the city council.” She and her husband were instrumental in helping to form the city of Menifee with its almost 105,000 residents today.

Denver took the microphone, telling the council and her many friends attending the presentation: “Menifee is in my heart.”

There were hugs all around for the outstanding Citizen of the Month.

The award to the city by Riverside County Habitat Conservation Agency was given for the city’s efforts in saving the endangered and protected kangaroo rat lands in the city. The rodent, thanks to conservation efforts by the agency, has come off the endangered species act list.

In the council’s consent items, community facilities districts for services, landscaping and infrastructure maintenance were approved for the communities of Estrella, Boulders, McLaughlin Village and Legado.

An agreement with S. Groner Associates for consultation on Senate Bill 1383 that will help in local assistance grant budgeting in 2022 and 2023 was approved by the council.

Construction H Inc. was awarded $192,950 for construction of the Permanent Park Restrooms Project for Lyle Marsh Park and was placed into the fiscal year budget 2022-2023.

A subscription service with Arctic Wolf Inc. for a cyber security event log aggregation threat detection and response, security operations center services, needed licensing and purchasing a cloud based security system from SHI International for $117,836.47 was approved. Villa said it was necessary to prevent growing cyber attacks from outside sources.

There were no city attorney reports or city manager reports at the end of the meeting. It was adjourned before 8 p.m.

Murrieta Mayor to deliver State of the City at Murrieta Hot Springs Resort MURRIETA – Murrieta Mayor Jonathan Ingram will present the 31st annual State of the City Wednesday, Aug. 31, at the Murrieta Hot Springs Resort in Murrieta. The resort is under new ownership, and this event is a unique opportunity to welcome guests behind the gates of the historic property. Ingram’s address is inspired by Murrieta’s high quality of life thanks to recent developments, safety, health and innovation, he 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 5:30-6:30 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 & Rescue 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

age groups, I thought that it would be appropriate and beneficial for the girls and their families.”

Her middle girl edition was published in 2018 and the older girl edition was released in 2019.

During the MasterPiece Conference, participants learned more about the keys that are based on Bible scriptures to reinforce the messages. First is “Beauty-FULL, knowing that you have a purpose here on this earth” based on Psalm 139:14 and Jeremiah 1:5. Next is “Oohh La La, it’s important to take care of our ‘shells’ which is our outside beings by practicing good personal hygiene, trying new clothes and hairstyles and more.”

Scripture for this key can be found in Esther 2:12.

The third key, she writes, is journey.

“Journey means to travel, to go, to move from one place to another; it’s an action word. It’s important for us to exercise our bodies and have the desire to want to travel outside of our norms,” she said.

She said it is based on Acts 9:3-6.

The nourish key explains about being “mindful with the things that we put inside of our bodies, and with our friendships” as referenced in Daniel 1:12 and 1:15.

The final key is investment, teaching everyone to be “good stewards with the money that we have access to and giving back to our communities.”

A hands-on activity was to have the girls “design” their own Abundantly Authentic girl, using a silhouette drawing on which they could add features and clothing.

Another activity was led by a certified Zumba instructor who taught the girls a full exercise routine.

“This was our second year putting on the conference and we had a good blend of both newcomers and ones who have attended previous programs,” Montfleury said. “This was a ‘drop-off’ event. The inten-

tion is for the girls to be a bit vulnerable during this time and sometimes with the parents there they are a bit reluctant to participate. This is also a time that we encourage our parents to drop off the kids and use this time to practice self-care.”

Melanie Leal, 10, was attending for her second time. Her aunt, Andrea Garcia, said her niece enjoyed the first one so much she was looking forward to this year’s event.

Garcia wanted her niece to “understand her worth in Christ and what it looks like to be healthy and have healthy relationships and conversations.” She said Melanie loves to dance so her favorite part of the event was learning a Zumba routine that was included in the “journey” key. Garcia, a Menifee resident, said Melanie was proud of herself for learning all five keys and what they meant. She wrote them down in her notebook and stood up to share during the program.

“Having my niece being a part of an event like this is so important and crucial for her well-being as well as any other young girl,” Garcia said. “My niece unfortunately does not have either of her parents in her life at the moment and is being raised by my mother; I find this to be the situation for many young girls. So for her to gather in a place like the MasterPiece Conference brings me such joy because through activities and friends she is able to take a pause from all the worldly influence and spend time in an environment that is glorifying God. Her knowing her worth in Christ is most important when growing up in this generation. All our youth are in desperate need of positive and love-centered events like this. Being part of Abundantly Authentic and having volunteered for the last two conferences has been such a blessing to myself as well as to my niece.”

Montfleury said additional purposes of the conference are to pro-

is my purpose and passion,” the Menifee resident said. “We also focus on the young girls because we believe that they should see a living, breathing example of a healthy, confident woman in their lives.”

Based on statistics gleaned from research of other organizations working on these same issues, Montfleury said they found that, “7 in 10 girls believe that they are not good enough or do not measure up in some way, including their looks, performance in school and relationships with family and friends.”

Additionally, they learned that “75% of girls with low self-esteem reported engaging in negative activities like, cutting, bullying, smoking, drinking or disordered eating.” She said, “At Abundantly Authentic, we realize that our girls all need support in multiple ways.”

Montfleury has continued sharing her nonprofit’s mission through her annual MasterPiece Conference, the most recent being held Saturday, July 30, at Impact Church in Menifee. About 25 girls, ages 5-10 and some 15 volunteers and/ or presenters interacted throughout the morning.

After a welcome and worship, a Bible study centered on the “5 Keys to an Abundantly Authentic Girl.” These are explained fully in Montfleury’s book “Blue-Print to Self-Esteem,” which has three versions to encompass three age groups.

“I love to read, but never saw myself becoming an author,” she said. “I got inspired to write the book for young girls one day because I thought it would be a great way to get the message out in a way that would be entertaining to them. Once I wrote the first book (in 2017) I realized that I wanted all of our girls to have the opportunity to be exposed to the 5 Keys, and since we have the three different

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.”

Young girls at Abundantly Authentic’s MasterPiece Conference work on a project after learning the Blue-Print to Self-Esteem at Impact Valley News/Courtesy photos Church in Menifee, Saturday, July 30.

vide a day specifically designed for the young girls to have an opportunity to be poured into, to learn how important it is for them to know their worth through Christ, to expose and show them the Bible and how true and relevant the word is in their lives, to be around girls their own age to be able to connect with, to have an opportunity to be around women of God to show them a living example of what that looks like and to have an opportunity to be exposed to worship music.

Lydia Nickeo had her two youngest daughters, 4 and 7, participated in the conference for the first time.

Her oldest daughter, Fana Atanaw, 14, volunteered her at the conference there as well.

“I wanted my girls to see that walking in purity and modesty with a Christ foundation is not something that I alone teach at home but there is a community of other young girls and women that have the same foundation,” Nickeo, a Menifee resident, said. “I also wanted to see what else they could learn aside from me. I want them to be teachable.” She said her daughters’ favorite parts were reading the Bible and building their Abundantly Authentic girl.

Montfleury said it’s never too late for someone to work on selfesteem issues.

“Look at me, I started to really be intentional about building up my self-esteem as an adult. It’s something that we are always going to be working on,” she said. “Like we tell the girls, one of the most important things to remember is that we will always be practicing and working on healthy confidence.”

The nonprofit is planning a Family Movie Night in October, showing “Overcomer.” Montfleury said they love the movie because it showcases the nonprofit’s key scripture, which is Ephesians 2:10, “For we are God’s masterpiece.”

She said the wholesome and inspirational movie can be enjoyed by the whole family.

“The message of every workshop or event that we put on is for our girls to know their worth through Christ,” Montfleury said. “We want them to be able to have the skills, tools and knowledge to thrive as individuals.”

Temecula daughter named Mrs. Washington American 2022

Beat the heat and check the backseat Fire Chief Sam DiGiovanna SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

BELLEVUE, Wash. – Brittany Sleeper, daughter of Christa Hoag of Temecula was crowned Mrs. Washington American 2022 Saturday, July 9, in Bellevue, Washington. She will compete at Mrs America in Las Vegas, Nevada, Friday, Aug 19. Sleeper is married to Matt Sleeper, and they have three children; Cheyenne, 7, Nathan, 5, and Grace, 3. Her platform is “Humanizing the Badge,” promoting law enforcement in honor of her husband who serves as a police officer in Washington state.

Menifee Police Department to conduct DUI patrols MENIFEE – Additional officers from the Menifee Police Department will be out on patrol Friday, Aug. 19, from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

“DUI’s are extremely dangerous and can affect so many people with one bad decision made and that bad decision is driving impaired,” police Chief Ed Varso said. “Driving while under the influence of alcohol, and/or drugs, is dangerous, potentially deadly and 100% preventable.”

Varso said drivers should ar-

range for a ride if they plan on drinking or designate a sober driver when going out, otherwise they may get arrested and face legal challenges.

The Menifee Police Department reminded the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol.

Some prescription medications or over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving. Always follow directions for use and read warning labels about driving or “operating heavy machinery,” which includes driving a car. While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of

marijuana is illegal.

Anyone who plans to drink or takes medications that may impact their ability to drive safely should plan to stay at home. Driving sober is the safest bet. Drivers caught driving impaired and charged with DUI will pay a stiff price: an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license.

Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

WATER from page A-1

important thing for our community to know is that the drought conditions in California and the western United States are severe.

The public is doing everything that we have asked in reducing their demands and being water wise.

“It is also important for the community to know that the district is working with the federal government and the state to build additional facilities to help address the long-term water crisis and protect the region. To that end, we are proud to support our community and are truly leading the way,” Grantham said.

According to Kimy Wall, pub-

lic information officer at Rancho Water, their agency is in Stage 3b, which puts in some restrictions, specifically “no watering during the day, make sure you’re using a shutoff-nozzle for your hose when you’re washing your car or boat and then making sure that you’re not having any runoff from your grass.”

For residential restrictions, RCWD offers four different tiers within their water budgets. With Stage 3b, there’s a reduction in Tier 3, which is their first inefficient tier of 50%.

“Tier 1 and Tier 2 are our efficient budgets. That’s what we

Rancho California Water District Rancho California Water District is under different restrictions from the state and the Metropolitan Water District. As those restrictions continue to come down from the state, RCWD is relaying that information over to their customers. Robb Grantham, general manager at Rancho California Water District, said, “I believe the most

With hot weather comes a special kind of danger. Cars can turn into death traps, with temperatures rising 20 degrees in as little as 10 minutes, according to the National Weather Service. And every summer, children die when they are trapped in hot cars – whether because the driver forgot the child was there or because the child got into an unlocked car without any adult knowing it happened. Within minutes, they can be in danger.

These deaths are tragic and heartbreaking. They’re also completely preventable.

As the dog days of summer continue, it’s a good time to revisit some basic tips to avoid the dangers of hot cars. The National Weather Service reminded motorists to “Beat the Heat, Check the Backseat.”

Never leave a child alone in a hot car, even briefly.

If you’re driving with a child in the backseat, use a cue to prevent you from accidentally leaving

them behind. Place a purse or wallet by the car seat or place a stuffed animal or other toy prominently on the front seat so you’ll see it and be reminded that a child is in the car.

Always lock your car when you leave it unattended, so curious children can’t inadvertently become trapped inside.

If your child is missing, check any nearby swimming pools first, then check cars. Look in the backseat and the trunk.

Teach children that vehicles are never to be used as a play area.

Remember: “Look before you leave” – always check the back and front seats before exiting the vehicle.

Some car deaths have been the result of distracted parents driving to work and forgetting to drop children off at school or childcare.

Ensure your child’s school or childcare provider has a policy in place to contact you if the child is absent.

More information on the dangers of heat can also be found at http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/ heat/index.shtml.

Positions available on Temecula city commissions TEMECULA – The city of Temecula invited interested residents to apply for two positions on the Community Services Commission, two positions of the Planning Commission, two positions on the Public/Traffic Safety Commission and three positions on the Race, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Commission.

The city council will make appointments to these positions at a public meeting in November. The term of each position will be Jan. 1, 2023, through Dec. 31, 2025.

The recruitment period for these positions is through Friday, Sept.

30. Applicants may apply online through the city’s website at http:// TemeculaCA.gov. Supporting documents, if any, must be submitted together with the application.

Qualified applicants must be a resident of Temecula at the time the application is submitted.

expect you to use inside and outside your house. When you use more water than that, you flip over into Tier 3. Then you flip into Tier 4, which is the more expensive watering level,” Wall said.

“Tier 3 is just a smaller bucket of water before you go into the more expensive stuff. It’s a way for us to remind people, or push people a little bit, not to go into those inefficient tiers. So for that one, residential Tier 3 is cut by 50%, and for commercial it is Tier 2.

They only have three tiers.”

RCWD’s customers “have been doing an amazing job” in conserving water amidst the ongoing drought, according to Wall. After obtaining their numbers for July, they discovered their water usage was down 13% from two years ago in July.

“That is their baseline, they are looking at the 2020 versus 2022 as how people are saving water. That is excellent news, because the governor’s mandate is for 15%. That’s what he’s been requesting for conservation, and we’re at 13%. If we can keep that up, we’re heading in the right direction. We’re hitting the goal line,” Wall said.

RCWD also encouraged anybody with grass or turf in their yards to switch them to droughtfriendly landscaping.

“We have lots of examples on our website of ways that you can switch out to different kinds of plants that are still beautiful, but not quite as thirsty as the grass would be in your front yard,” she said.

RCWD’s Recycled Water Conversion Program, which began in July 2017, works to switch out 330,000 square feet of turf and grasses that were not droughttolerant, to install drip components and high efficiency nozzles and to repair pipe on existing water lines to reduce water loss.

The program also adds more recycled pipeline throughout Temecula. Wall said homeowners and businesses could switch to recycled water, which would result in a “fantastic” outcome, as “they wouldn’t be using water that everybody else needs for drinking purposes.” She said the community can anticipate a big project within the coming years, as pipelines are switched out to recycle water all around town.

Homeowners looking to conserve water can also find the Rancho Smart Irrigation Controllers program on RCWD’s website and obtain a discounted controller.

Homeowners should connect the device to a household’s irriga-

tion system, and it will track the weather and how much moisture is in the air. Then the device controls how much water to use for watering the landscape, so customers don’t have to do it themselves.

For RCWD’s customers, they also have access to a proprietary and user-friendly app called MyWaterTracker. The app helps their customers watch their water budget and make sure that they’re not going over on their water bill each month.

“It is an easy way for you to track your water,” Wall said.

Customers can log into their account page and be provided with a real-time update on how much water they’ve used up to that day.

Every water-based action made around the house, from turning on a faucet to flushing a toilet, will be documented within the hour.

Colors determine a user’s water budget. Green signifies that a customer is on budget, yellow shows signs of growing over-budget and red reaffirms that a customer should slow down on their water usage.

U.S. Drought Monitor According to the statistics shown on the U.S Drought Monitor, as of Tuesday, Aug. 2, 100% of California continues to remain abnormally dry. 99.7% is experiencing moderate drought, while 97.7% is facing severe drought.

The extreme drought percentage, however, remains at 59.81%, the same number it was at in July. The exceptional drought percentage was at 12.74% as of last week but dropped to 12.12%.

Reservoir percentages Lake Castaic’s percentage was at 34% in July. As of Wednesday, Aug. 3, it went up by 1%, landing at 35%. Pine Lake Flat showed significant decline, going from 43% to 20%. Diamond Valley Lake also continues to fall, dipping from 67% to 65%. Lake Shasta showed similar results, going from 39% to 37%. San Luis Reservoir was at 37% Thursday, July 7, and dropped to 31% as of Aug. 3. Lake Orville was at 47% but plummeted to 41%.

Take the plunge for swimming pool safety Fire Chief Sam DiGiovanna SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

This summer, parents and caregivers should take CPR and first aid training, and take advantage of swimming courses that are available for both children and adults. Valley News/Metro Creative Connections photo

Though it is reaching the peak of summer, it seems like it’s been an “endless summer” as it’s been hot for so long. Many people are spending their time in pools to beat the heat. Unfortunately, there is the dangerous side to summer and swimming pools.

Drowning incidents are dramatically on the rise locally and nationally. Parents whose children have drowned said, the day of the tragedy started out just like any other day.

No matter how the drowning happened or where it happened – pool, spa or any other body of water – one thing was the same, the seconds that claimed their child’s life slid by silently, without warning, it happens just like that and can never be brought back.

Drowning is preventable. Start a Swimming Pool Safety Campaign in your community.

Children drown without a sound.

Drowning is a quiet event. There is

no splashing, no screaming, and no noise at all.

What can you do to prevent drowning incidents?

Follow the ABC’s of water safety: A equals adult supervision. Assign an adult water watcher to keep their eyes on the water at all times.

Never swim alone.

B is for barriers, such as fences, self-closing and self-latching gates, pool motion sensors, window and door alarms.

C equals classes. Parents and caregivers should take CPR and first aid training, and swimming courses are available for both children and adults.

Visit http://www.poolsafely. gov for more drowning prevention and safety tips.

Remember, when paddle boarding, ocean or lake swimming or surfing, make sure you tell someone when your destination, when you are leaving and when you are returning. If you are missing, it gives the rescue team a place to start their search & rescue.

EVMWD to seek septic-to-sewer grant for Avenues area Joe Naiman WRITER

The Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District will be seeking a State Water Resources Control Board grant to convert the Avenues area from septic tanks to the EVMWD sewer system.

The EVMWD board voted 3-0 Thursday, July 28, with Andy Morris and Harvey Ryan absent, to authorize EVMWD general manager Greg Thomas to sign and submit a financial assistance application for a State Revolving Fund grant for the planning of the Avenues Septic to Sewer Project.

In 2005, the district developed a groundwater management plan which identified the impact nitrate from septic systems may be having on drinking water supply wells.

Nitrate transport simulations were

evaluated to assess the future impacts of septic systems on Elsinore Basin groundwater quality, and the results indicated an expected substantial increase in nitrate mass load with more than 80 percent of the basin exceeding the maximum contaminant level.

In 2016, the district developed a plan to remove the septic systems over a 40-year period. All septic systems in Sedco Hills are to be removed by 2030, all septic systems in the Wildomar/Palomar area are to be removed by 2035, all septic systems in the North Basin area are to be replaced by 2040, all septic systems in the Lakeland and Northeast Lakeshore area are scheduled for removal by 2045, all septic systems northeast of North Basin and northwest of Canyon Lake have a 2050 or earlier removal schedule, and beyond 2050 all septic systems

in Canyon Lake will be replaced.

The Avenues is generally west of Avenue 6, east of Country Club Boulevard, north of East Lakeshore Drive and south of Mill Street although properties on the other sides of those streets are also included.

The project would install about 15,000 linear feet of sewer main and connect approximately 250 properties, most of them single-family residential properties, to the public sewer system.

The properties which are not using on-site septic systems are considered economically severely disadvantaged, and the State Water Resources Control Board’s Division of Financial Assistance contacted EVMWD staff about a State Revolving Fund grant. The planning phase will outline the measures necessary to determine the feasibility of converting the septic systems to sewer

connections and will identify the overall costs associated with the project. If the project is deemed feasible the district would seek con-

struction funds, likely next spring.

OPEI offers tips for safe generator use ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Increasingly, consumers are turning to generators for power in emergency situations because the world is unpredictable. Year-round weather challenges are now the norm with snow, ice, wind, tornadoes, hurricanes and record-breaking rain and flooding occurring throughout the year and no longer just confined to a season.

“Consumers want and need reliable power. When the electricity goes out, generators keep your home or business humming with light and power,” Kris Kiser, president and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute, said. “Today’s generators offer a variety of features, and there is a product for every need.

While shopping for your generator, consider other equipment that could be useful in cleaning up after challenging weather such as a water pump, chainsaw or pole pruner. And don’t forget outdoor-rated extension cords and fuel cans.”

Tips from OPEI for safe generator use Consider what household items will need to run on the generator. When purchasing a generator, determine how many kilowatts are needed for essential items such as charging family cell phones, a refrigerator, etc. during an emergency.

Research generators online before buying one. Talk with the staff at

the store or ask questions online.

Discuss safety features and ask about manufacturer fueling and care instructions. Generators offer a variety of features. Circuit-breakerprotected outlets will guard against generator overload. A larger fuel tank will provide extra running time.

Integrated fuel gauges will help keep tabs on fuel levels and prevent power interruptions. Low tone mufflers make for quieter operation. Folddown handles and wheels can make it easier to move the generator.

Keep an outdoor-rated extension cord on hand. Be sure it is long enough to place the generator a safe distance from the home and is certified to carry the generator’s power load.

Identify where to put the generator when it’s in use. Place the generator outside and away from windows, doors and vents that could allow carbon monoxide to come indoors.

Never put a generator in a home, garage, porch or breezeway. Give portable generators plenty of room for ventilation. Determine now how to secure the generator.

Install a carbon monoxide detector. Add this safety device to the home and be sure to keep extra batteries on hand for it.

Keep generators dry. Before a storm hits, identify how to cover and vent the generator. Buy model-specific tents or generator covers online,

at home centers or a hardware store.

Have the right fuel on hand before a storm hits. Use an appropriate container designed to hold fuel that seals well.

Store fuel in a safe place away from heat sources and out of the reach of children. Label the can with the date of purchase and the ethanol

Temecula man adopts healthy fitness lifestyle after successful start Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Joe and Brenda Sorrentino spent years trying to help their son get his weight under control, to no avail. At 19 years of age, James Sorrentino was extremely obese, weighing more than 390 pounds.

“We tried having him participate in different sports activities, tried seeing nutritionists and working on his diet. Nothing made a difference,” Joe Sorrentino said. “He continued to gain weight and my wife and I felt helpless and guilty.”

It took a family trip to Universal Studios in 2017 for James Sorrentino to be the one to make the decision to lose weight to be healthier and happier. Joe Sorrentino said his son has autism spectrum disorder, which acutely impedes his speech and thought processes.

“Our family was enjoying a wonderful day at Universal with James exploring Harry Potter World. When we all prepared to board the Wizarding World ride, they pulled James aside and said he was too overweight to go on the ride. He was very disappointed and confused. We tried our best to make light of the situation, but James was clearly hurt to be singled out like that,” his father said.

Shortly after that experience, James Sorrentino was asked what he would like for his 20th birthday.

He said he wanted to go to a gym.

His parents were happy to oblige.

Living in Mission Viejo at that time, the family found a local gym where he felt comfortable.

Loving workouts “To our surprise and delight, James loved the workouts,” Joe Sorrentino said. “After just a few months, his progress was starting to show. James was gaining confidence and his body started to change. The weight was starting to come off with amazing regularity; usually between eight and 12 pounds every month.”

Within 18 months, James Sorrentino had lost almost 170 pounds and his body was completely transformed. His parents said that he no longer needs to worry about losing weight. At 6 feet tall, he weighs 228 pounds and is building more muscle.

After moving to Temecula in March 2020, the family knew it was important to find a new gym where James Sorrentino could continue his fitness routine in a welcoming and supportive environment. He found that atmosphere at EoS Fitness on Temecula Parkway. Due to the pandemic,

James Sorrentino had not been inside a gym for nearly a year, so finding a place where he could work out safely and often was a big deal for the Sorrentinos. Now 24, James Sorrentino’s mental age is closer to early teens.

Joe Sorrentino said, “EoS stepped up to the plate for us when we mentioned James’ issues and needs; they should be commended.”

Fitness manager Joseph Amieva has been with EoS Fitness for about six years but has been a trainer for almost 10 years. He said he enjoys the confidence and happiness reaching fitness goals instills in his clients. As a master trainer with a degree in exercise science and 12 certifications, Amieva said fitness should be exciting and not a chore or else it is less likely to become a habit.

Whenever he did sessions with James Sorrentino, Amieva found him to be responsive and driven.

“He watched and listened well to all instructions and gave his heart to the workout,” Amieva said. “When someone approaches me about losing weight, I start with sitting them down and figuring out their goals. As I do so I’m learning more about them; their past, their previous attempts, workout history or lack thereof, what drives them to want this goal. After this I set them up on our scanner to get our initial numbers. Then we talk about programs and what will work best for them to reach their goals. Seeing them excited to reach goals and then exceed them, it makes my heart happy to know I changed someone’s life for the better and they will be able to live longer and happier.”

James Sorrentino said he chose this gym because he liked all the equipment.

“It’s big; I like the classes and sauna,” he said.

Routines changing Jacob Henrikson is a personal trainer at EoS Fitness Temecula Parkway and has worked with James Sorrentino during many of his sessions. He said his routines have changed over the years as he has been on a maintenance routine for the past three years. He did not have to modify any of his workouts to accommodate any special needs.

“He worked harder than most clients that I have,” Hendrikson said. “The plan (for the session) wasn’t set in stone, plus there were exercises that he didn’t particularly care for, and my main thing is that I want the client to have fun. I just wanted to find exercises that were

enjoyable. We did a lot of medicine ball throws, playing catch with the heavy 20-pound ball, some sled pushes and pulls; things to keep it interesting and fun while also keeping his heart rate up.”

Fitness the focus Joe and Brenda Sorrentinos said that their son has made fitness the focus of his life. He has a workout area in the family’s garage and loves using the treadmill, dumbbells and boxing heavy bag. He wakes by 6 a.m. to begin yoga and stretching exercises, then has a small breakfast before running on the treadmill or taking walks around his block. Joe Sorrentino takes his son to the EoS Fitness gym five times a week for weight training exercises for 90 minutes per session.

“The gym staff and members are very supportive of James, encouraging him and giving him fist bumps, making him feel like one of the gang,” Joe Sorrentino said.

“This helped James grow in confidence and helped him become more engaging with people, which is huge for autistic kids.”

James Sorrentino learned to use his home gym equipment through his workouts at the gym, and Joe

Sorrentino said he and Brenda Sorrentino were grateful since they knew nothing about weight training and exercise equipment before he began exercising.

“Our doctors did not focus on James’ weight issues. They were much more interested in his communicative, social interactive and emotional issues,” Joe Sorrentino said. “James did not even start talking until about 7 years of age.

Until then, he developed his own language that only he understood.

He has always been in good health with very few instances that required medical attention.”

Diet problems His father said weight and diet were a lifelong problem for his son as he ate only certain foods and these were often high in fats and calories.

“Autistic children such as James often have food issues,” he said.

“Certain textures, tastes, smells, etc. would be rejected and it was a struggle to find foods James would even touch. Changing his eating habits was a constant struggle that we were almost always on the losing side of.”

Joe Sorrentino said one of the biggest byproducts of his fitness journey has been his willingness now to try new foods.

“He slowly introduced veggies to his meals. He stopped eating fried food, changing to baked or grilled options,” Joe Sorrentino said. “He has become a bit of a gourmet himself, making his own salads and cooking his own steaks along with his favorite sides. This did not occur all at once but has taken years to arrive at this point.

The kid actually puts kale in his salads.”

Joe Sorrentino said that although it was James Sorrentino who made a conscious decision to eat better, his mother was a huge help, taking him shopping and having him

read labels and discussing his food choices. The gym was also helpful in recommending protein shakes and supplements that changed how James Sorrentino looked at his diet.

“James eats what he wants, but he is very disciplined when it comes to his eating habits,” Joe Sorrentino said. “He now likes to shop for his own clothes, something he never was interested in doing before.”

More energetic His parents said now that he is more energetic and confident, James Sorrentino would love to have a job. They have inquired, however, about programs for part time work but because he must be constantly monitored, they haven’t been successful in finding anything.

When asked if he had any advice for someone who feels daunted by being overweight and not knowing where or how to start living a healthy lifestyle, James Sorrentino said, “Just start with the weights and just do everything.”

His father said that by “everything” James Sorrentino means “ride the bike, run on the treadmill and do the stairs every day.”

A lifestyle change Amieva said that clients who are in the maintenance phase of fitness should have a complete lifestyle change, much like James Sorrentino has done.

“Goals to lose weight or gain muscle shouldn’t be reached and then given up on. If you want to maintain weight loss you should continue to work out and eat properly. It’s about changing your life, not just hitting a goal for a summer or specific set of time,” he said.

“For me personally, I don’t know what I would do with myself if I gave up living healthy.”

EDUCATION

MUSD Summer Safety Summit champions safe schools MENIFEE – The Menifee Union School District, in partnership with the Menifee Police Department, hosted its first Summer Safety Summit Friday, July 29.

The two organizations brought together MUSD students, parents and staff at Hans Christensen Middle School to provide a day full of information and activities designed to enhance and promote safe schools.

“Education has been, and continues to be, a powerful tool for bettering our community,” Jennifer Root, Ph.D., superintendent of Menifee Union School District, said. “And that is why we designed

a day dedicated to educating our students, parents and staff, and empowering them in a united effort toward school safety.”

The summit started with a general session which introduced attendees to Menifee’s new police Chief Edward Varso. The audience learned about how both the district and police department respond to school incidents and threats.

“At the core of why we choose careers as officers is to serve and protect,” Varso said. “That is especially true when it comes to serving the students of Menifee.”

Participants broke out into smaller sessions led by diverse

presenters from across Riverside County representing the Safe Family Justice Center, District Attorney’s Office, Trauma Intervention Program of Riverside County, Riverside University Health System and Riverside County Office of Education. Discussion topics included active shooter response, dangers of social media, mental health awareness, suicide prevention and awareness, bike safety, cyberbullying, fentanyl awareness, behavior management and more.

The Menifee Union School District Board of Education recognized the urgent need for this summit and gave their full support

to make this summit happen.

Board President, Jackie Johansen, shared, “We have heard the concerns of our families and district staff regarding safe schools and we want them to know that we take those concerns to heart,” district board president Jackie Johansen said. “This summit is just one of many actions we are taking to promote safe schools.”

Next steps in this partnership include a collaborative and thorough review of site safety plans, officers conducting safety walks with school principals and hosting joint community meetings with the superintendent and chief of

police throughout the 2022-2023 school year.

With schools dating back to the 1880s, Menifee Union School District serves over 11,000 students across 15 physical campuses and 1 digital campus. As a California Pivotal Practices Award winner, MUSD innovatively serves students from preschool through eighth grade. MUSD is led by its 12th superintendent and is governed by a board of education composed of five publicly elected officials who serve their respective trustee areas.

The Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District awarded Gannett Fleming Inc. the construction management and observation services contract for the Tomlin Pipeline replacement project.

A 3-0 EVMWD board vote Thursday, July 28, with members Andy Morris and Harvey Ryan absent, awarded Gannett Fleming a $549,152.23 professional services contract. The board authorized a total appropriation of $551,898.23 which also covers $2,746 for overhead.

The Tomlin Pipeline was constructed in 1964 and is currently a steel water main 6 inches in diameter. Most of the pipeline was constructed within a dirt roadway, and it is within a utility easement 20 feet wide. Erosion along the alignment has caused parts of the pipe to become exposed to the elements, which has caused corrosion issues and is compromising the structural integrity of the pipeline.

The Tomlin Pipeline replacement project will replace approximately 5,100 feet of the pipe between the Tomlin 1 Pump Station and the Tomlin 2 Reser-

voir with a new pipe 8 inches in diameter. The work will also rehabilitate and stabilize the eroded maintenance access road. District operations staff must currently access the Tomlin 1 Reservoir and the Tomlin 2 Pump Station from an indirect route off Ortega Highway, and rehabilitating the access road will restore a direct and more efficient access route from the Tomlin 1 Pump Station to the Tomlin 1 Reservoir and to the Tomlin 2 Pump Station.

In March 2021, the EVMWD board awarded Infrastructure Engineering Corporation the contract for the design of the Tomlin Pipeline replacement project.

EVMWD staff solicited construction management and observation services proposals in April 2022, and six proposals were received by the June 2 deadline. A review panel evaluated the proposals based on firm qualifications, experience and understanding as well as the cost proposal component. Gannett Fleming, which is headquartered in San Marcos, had the highestranked proposal.

Assistance League Thrift Shop reopens after water incident TEMECULA – Although the shop lacked carpeting and other finishing touches, the Assistance League Thrift Shop reopened Wednesday, July 20, after nine weeks of closure due to a water incident that decimated the entryway, offices, boutique and front counter areas of the store. More than 100 happy customers and friends visited the thrift shop that day, letting Assistance League volunteers know that they missed the shop and were happy it was open again.

The same morning, members and spouses were invited to come in for a “big reveal” that included refreshments provided by the nonprofit’s hospitality committee and a chance to tour the renovations in progress. Home Perfect Restoration, which did the demolition and reconstruction, sent a videographer to capture the morning festivities. The store is reorganized, and visitors said it looks more inviting.

Although the original bowling alley front counter sustained water damage, it was replaced with a new, sleek, modern looking front counter with many drawers and cabinets to store bags, wrapping materials and the items needed to run the store. Every department in the shop is filled with merchandise, and every nook and cranny in the store has been dusted and cleaned. Each item on the sales floor received a second look to ensure that the merchandise met the volunteers’ high standards for cleanliness and organization.

The thrift shop is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays and from 1-4 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Donations of clean, gently used items are accepted during regular store hours. The Assistance League said its low prices and high quality have remained the same, and volunteers look forward to welcoming new and return-

ing customers. The sales in the thrift shop, along with monetary donations and grants, enable the organization to provide services to the children and families in need in southwest Riverside County, including Safety Town, Operation School Bell and more.

Assistance League Thrift Shop, 28720 Via Montezuma, in Temecula is the main source of revenue for all chapter programs.

EMWD to expand recycled water Fallbrook Food Pantry holds fundraiser infrastructure in French Valley at Silvergate retirement community

Eastern Municipal Water District completes installation of Phase I of the French Valley Recycled Water Pipeline in 2018, with Phase II work beginning soon.

Valley News/Courtesy photo

PERRIS – Eastern Municipal Water District’s Board of Directors Wednesday, Aug. 3, approved the award of a $4.4 million contract to construct Phase II of the French Valley Recycled Water Pipeline, which will expand recycled water service in the French Valley community.

The new pipeline is the next phase of the French Valley Recycled Water Expansion Project designed to increase recycled water use for landscape irrigation. Phase II will include 12,300 feet of 12-inch and 8-inch recycled water pipelines, primarily on Pourroy Road and Benton Road in French Valley.

The new pipelines, once constructed, will help EMWD reduce potable, drinking water use to existing landscape irrigation sites in the area, including Emerald Park, Brookfield Park, Susan LaVorgna Elementary School and to ValleyWide Recreation and Park Districtmaintained streetscapes in the area.

The pipelines will also support recycled water use in future development within the French Valley area.

It is anticipated that the Phase II pipelines will initially support enough recycled water use to offset more than 200 acre feet per year of potable water demand, which is enough for nearly 500 homes.

The existing parks, schools and streetscapes will be participants in EMWD’s nationally recognized Recycled Water Accelerated Retrofit Program, which expedites the

retrofit of existing facilities from potable to recycled water for irrigation purposes.

The $4,425,000 contract was awarded to James W. Fowler Company. Work will begin in the field later this year and be completed by fall 2023.

“As California continues to face historic drought conditions, it has never been more important for us to invest in the expansion of our recycled water infrastructure to help maintain functional community landscaping, including parks and schools,” Phil Paule, board president of EMWD, said. “We are proud to continue to further our recycled water efforts in the French Valley community and look forward to the successful completion of this important project.”

Eastern Municipal Water District 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 sixthlargest retail water agency, and its mission is “to deliver value to our diverse customers and the communities we serve by providing safe, reliable, economical and environmentally sustainable water, wastewater and recycled water services.”

Lady Justice needs a new blindfold

Julie Reeder PUBLISHER

This week former President Donald Trump’s Mar A Lago estate was raided by the FBI. This move is unprecedented. It has never happened before to any previous president. It’s more of a banana republic move, but one that, unfortunately, isn’t surprising.

The sad thing is that the general public is so used to the security agencies going after Trump that they are numb to it. The gravity of how twisted, unjust and unfair it is for one political party to use our taxpayer-funded security and justice agencies to harass, bully and punish their political opponents, while they coddle and protect the criminals in their midst isn’t surprising.

The FBI supposedly was after 15 boxes of documents that Trump took with him from the White House. Trump’s daughter-in-law said it was personal items, photos

and newspaper clippings that were his. It doesn’t matter though. The FBI can’t be trusted. Remember they submitted fraudulent documents to the FISA court along with opposition research paid for by the DNC and the Clinton campaign to initiate the Russia hoax?

It was proven that the FBI knew it was fraudulent. They created it, but they used it to go after him and spent years investigating not only Trump and his family but his business partners, his staff, and everyone close to him before they had to admit that they found nothing.

It was a similar story surrounding Gen. Michael Flynn who was harassed and bankrupt. Then Roger Stone was raided and arrested in the early morning hours with CNN present to create news bites. Just like the raiding and arrest of Project Veritas journalists and now of Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon. There have been many victims of FBI corruption who have had to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to hire attorneys for nothing.

Now contrast this experience to Hillary Clinton. Was she treated the same? Remember how she used an offbook server for years to conduct classified state business while she was funneling millions of dollars into the Clinton Foundation with the very people and countries she was doing business with? No problem. No raids.

33,000 emails destroyed? No problem. No raid. And doesn’t that family business model sound familiar? Where do you think the

Bidens learned it from?

The FBI never raided her home.

Former President Bill Clinton traveled to “pedophile island” many times with Jeffrey Epstein. That’s OK. No raids. Always protected.

How about Hunter Biden?

There’s been entire books written documenting their family corruption by Peter Schweizer, and the FBI has protected the laptop documenting it all for two years.

State Department employees under former President Barack Obama were told at the time to “avoid” Hunter’s activities and they knew it was “troubling.”

The Bidens have openly peddled influence with China, Ukraine, Russia and other countries, compromising the US. No raids for selling out our country.

Then there’s the photos and videos of tax fraud, crack use and prostitution – possibly underaged – and human trafficking. No raids for that either.

Hunter and his boss and father President Joe Biden haven’t had their homes raided, but instead they have been actively protected.

Instead of raiding or even investigating, a letter was orchestrated to counter the laptop, claiming again, “Russian disinformation” when they knew what they had was damning. That’s also called election tampering. Add the manipulation and censorship from big tech, and that’s massive election tampering.

Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, recently reported that multiple FBI whistleblowers have come forward to allege improper political med-

dling in sensitive investigations including the launch of investigations of Trump without proper predicate and pressuring them to shut down the Hunter Biden probe by claiming legitimate evidence was “disinformation.”

We already knew it. Nothing new here. Just more confirmation.

The FBI got caught setting up Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s attempted kidnapping to frame some militia members. It appears there’s evidence that the same activity was going on during Jan. 6 as well. Why did House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the mayor of the District of Columbia refuse the 10,000 National Guard troops Trump requested before Jan. 6?

Why did the Jan. 6 committee hire the questionable news director, who sat on the Epstein story for years, to professionally produce the one-sided Jan. 6 political theater sans any defense or opposition? Answer? For sound bites and election ammo. Even when Secret Service agents wrote letters refuting stories presented as fact, they were ignored.

How long can people support the openly political weaponization of federal agencies?

Especially against someone who is a 2024 political opponent? Over and over again?

It takes a real effort to turn a blind eye.

FBI Director Christopher Wray has been under fire during Congressional hearings the last few weeks regarding his indiscretion to protect Hunter Biden and the

crimes depicted on the laptop and other questionable activities.

In response, he turns the heat up a notch and raids Trump’s home.

They don’t care how bad it looks anymore. They are out to win at all costs. They have to find something on Trump. Their corrupt jobs depend on it.

We need to completely clean house. False investigations, manufacturing evidence and political theater to thwart and punish political enemies should not be tolerated by any party or agency.

Ironically, the same day they raided Trump’s home while he was in New York, they voted to expand the IRS by 87,000 agents – an unprecedented number.

Trump should have fired Wray in 2020 when his advisers, like Rick Grenell, were recommending it, even against Bill Barr’s advice.

Of all the crises we have as a country and the huge void of ethical, moral and just leadership, the most crucial is the leadership at the FBI, CIA and DOJ. We are in a political and ideological war. If America survives, it will be because the leadership and institutions we’ve blindly trusted for so long are cleaned out and “reimagined” for justice.

Lady Justice needs to be blindfolded once again and we need to stand for equal justice and protection under the law, regardless of race, religion, vaccination status or political affiliation.

University of California degree programs. Other bills I support include Assembly Bill 2617 that encourages more dual enrollment programs for high school students, increasing graduation rates and reducing costs for students. I also support Assembly Bill 2705 requiring more robust wildfire protection for future master planned communities without undermining current projects or housing construction. Another bill, Senate Bill 717 will identify hurdles to broadband access and reduce regulatory and permitting barriers preventing wireless services from expansion or upgrades.

Problematic bills include Sen-

ate Bill 1105 establishing a San Diego County housing agency which would be able to raise taxes/ fees without voter approval. And Senate Bill 1044, identified as a “Job Killer” by CalChamber, allows employees to walk off their jobs simply by alleging they feel unsafe. The bill overrides multiple state and federal laws/protections that already mandate safe workplaces and subjects employers to lawsuits if they replace absent workers.

Finally, despite bi-partisan efforts by the Problem Solvers Caucus, there will be no suspension of the gas tax and don’t expect any rebate for California seniors

who rely solely on their Social Security benefits to survive these out-of-control inflationary times.

Critical issues like these often fly under the public’s radar. For better or worse, there is much more work to do before the session ends Aug. 31.

vies, establishes some minimum standards for court-ordered drug education or treatment programs and requires, with regard to adult defendants who receive probation for a drug crime, that all defendants enroll in and successfully complete these programs. It was held in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.

Assembly Bill 1955, written by Assemblymember Janet Nguyen, increases penalties for illegal largescale possession for sale or sale of fentanyl. It died in the Assembly Public Safety Committee.

Assembly Bill 2246, written by Assemblymember Cottie PetrieNorris, increases penalties for fentanyl sales around schools and playgrounds and increases the penalty for sales on social media. It died in the Assembly Public Safety Committee.

Senate Bill 75, written by state Sen. Patricia Bates, aligns fentanyl

on the same level as cocaine and heroin by imposing penalty enhancements based on the weight an individual possesses for sale or distribution. It died in the Senate Public Safety Committee.

Senate Bill 350, written by Sen. Melissa Melendez, requires a court to issue an advisory to individuals convicted of selling or distributing controlled substances including fentanyl, to serve as a warning that if their actions result in another person’s death, they could be charged with murder. It died in the Senate Public Safety Committee.

Senate Bill 1060, written by Bates, imposes an additional term upon a person convicted of the possession of a substance containing fentanyl if the substance exceeds a specified weight. It died in the Senate Public Safety Committee.

What’s even worse is that bills like Senate Bill 57, which would permit certain communities in the

Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay Areas to operate “safe injection sites,” allowing people to use harmful and illegal drugs under supervision, have passed through both the Senate and Assembly.

Yes, you read that correctly: supervised injection sites. You can watch my Floor Speech on SB 57 at https://ad67.asmrc.org/ floor-speech-sb-57-superviseddrug-injection-sites.

It’s clear that legislative leadership needs to adjust its priorities.

As your representative, I will not remain silent on this critical concern for our community, and my colleagues and I will continue the fight to work to keep our communities safe and keep criminals off our streets.

Thank you for this opportunity to be of service.

More work to do

Assemblymember Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

We’re in the last month of a two-year legislative session. Dur-

ing August, we’ll be voting on approximately 1,200 bills, over 500 in the Assembly and about 700 in the Senate.

These bills include my Assembly Bill 2768, which addresses the critical shortage of psychiatric beds by leading to the development of a real-time, internet-based app providing information on available beds/facilities to serve mentally ill patients in emergency rooms and in ambulance transport. With 31 counties reporting a shortage of behavioral healthcare workers, I joined Sen. Scott Wiener as co-author of Senate Bill 964 to deal with the shortage through increased funding and enhanced

Drug abuse bills struggle in California

Drug abuse and overdose deaths, especially involving fentanyl, are on the rise in our communities.

California’s youth are falling victim to drug dealers who prey on their vulnerability and curiosity. In 2020 alone, California experienced nearly 4,000 deaths related to fentanyl overdose, and in 2021, fentanyl overdose became

recognized as the leading cause of death of Americans aged 18 to 45.

We need to pass legislation that holds drug dealers accountable, increases criminal penalties and gives local law enforcement and agencies the tools they need to keep our communities safe.

Unfortunately not everyone in Sacramento agrees. In fact, most bills attempting to address these issues barely see the light of day.

My bill, Assembly Bill 1673, would have established the California Fentanyl Abuse Task Force to increase public education and mobilize state and local resources to evaluate the best practices for combatting fentanyl abuse across California. It was held in the Assembly Appropriations Committee and never reached the floor for a vote.

Lake Hemet Mountain Sheriff’s Station hosts National Night Out

Redshank shrubs have tiny needle-like evergreen leaves on sometimes scraggly branches.

Anza Valley Outlook/ Diane Sieker photo

Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

One of the most common sights in the Anza Valley are vast expanses of redshank shrubs covering the mountains and canyons, amid the boulders and sagebrush.

The redshank, or ribbonwood shrub, Adenostoma sparsifolium is actually a member of the scientific family Rosaceae, the rose family, which includes 4,828 known flowering species. Redshank and chamise, A. fasciculatum, however, are the only two species in their genus within Rosaceae.

The plant is aptly named “ribbonwood” for the delicate paperlike bark that sloughs off the trunk and branches of the plant, while the term “redshank” describes the color of both bark and interior wood. The prolific blossoms that these shrubs produce are an important food source for local pollinator insects such as bees, butterflies and some moths.

These common shrubs grow in Southern California and Baja California Norte. The largest populations of redshank chaparral are in the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa mountains and in valleys in Riverside and San Diego counties. Anza is within this plant’s natural range.

Redshank is a dominant species in their high desert chaparral habitats, with most stands found from 1,500 to 5,000 feet elevation.

This shrub is an important food and shelter source for many animals and insects. Small mammals

The annual From The Heart Christian Women’s Ministries Backpack Giveaway served over 300 mountain community students with new backpacks, supplies, shoes, socks, haircuts and more Saturday, Aug. 6, at the Hamilton High School gym.

“We passed out over 200 pairs of shoes and packages of socks and we gave out around 275 backpacks, not including the ones we gave to the different schools, so probably around 325 altogether,” organizer Christi James said.

Excited children and patient parents selected grade-appropriate backpacks with supplies, colorful new socks, shoes and extra laces and free haircuts provided by area stylists. Students happily left the building ready for the new school year. see BACKPACKS, page B-3

SHERIFF from page B-1 “My family had lots of fun, thanks for doing this,” Karissa Weaver said.

K-9s and trained police horses were popular with guests, as well as Smokey Bear. A helicopter and other crime and fire fighting tools were on display. Deputies, firefighters and others were on hand to chat with residents about their concerns and answer their questions.

“Well done, great turnout,” Paula Jean Hayes said on social media. “Great communication to the community at large. Awesome.”

According to the sheriff’s department, National Night Out is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, generate support for and participation in local anti-crime programs, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships and send a message to criminals letting them know that Riverside County neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

“Thanks to everyone who joined us at our Lake Hemet Mountain Station for National Night Out,” a department representative said.

“We had a blast meeting you, showing off our equipment and answering your questions. We’re already looking forward to next year.”

ANZA LOCAL BACKPACKS from page B-1 Many Hemet Unified School District students attending the Anza Hamilton schools need pens, paper, crayons and art supplies and a backpack in which to safely keep it all.

“This is a free event for school children in grades K-12 that reside in the mountain communities of Anza, Aguanga, Mountain Center and Idyllwild,” James said. “Each student gets a backpack loaded with school supplies. Children must be present to receive their backpack.”

Many charitable organizations, businesses and individuals contribute to the success of the yearly affair, held the week before school begins.

“Huge thanks to KOYT Radio, High Country 4-H, Justin, Cynthia and Phil for being there to cut hair, Adriana for the gift certificates and the different groups and churches that showed up,” James said. “This year more than ever, we had people from our awesome community individually stepping up.

Thank you all for your continued support.”

MARKET from page B-1 sweets, soaps, trendy clothing, original crafts and more. Neighbors greeted each other, catching up on the latest news as they browsed the well-organized displays.

“It started out as an amazingly quiet morning that turned into a bustling market day with a great variety of delicious and beautiful home goods. I’m excited for the next one,” Cezanne Ryerson-Jodka said.

Young Scarlett of Squirrel Farms sold home-baked sweets, soaps and trinkets. Her great at-

titude and friendly manner came free with all purchases.

The market served as more than a shopping venue. It helped introduce new and old residents, let people make new friends and share good times.

such as rabbits browse redshank sprouts. Domestic cattle, goats and sheep will devour whatever tender new growth they can reach.

Flowering occurs in August and continues through September. Tiny white flowers form huge clusters on many branches on the plant.

As flowering comes to an end, the blossoms give way to reddish brown seeds; however, overall seed crops are usually sparse and seedlings from original seed are rare.

It may account for the redshank’s limited distribution.

Redshank primarily reproduces vegetatively. The roots and lignotuber, locally called the root ball, store carbohydrates and other nutrients used for sprout development.

The sprouting continues throughout the life of the plant and most vigorously following a wildfire or from the harvesting of its woody trunk.

According to the Fire Effects Information System, a prescribed fire in Chihuahua Valley, San Diego County, top-killed redshank, but it

did little damage to redshank lignotubers and fine root hairs. Mean surface soil temperature reached 662 degrees Fahrenheit during the blaze. Sprouts grow to an average length of 4.8 inches per month in the first postfire growing season.

Besides benefiting insects and animals, the redshank has also been valuable to early peoples in the area. Native Americans used an infusion of the bark and leaves to treat syphilis. The plant oils were used to relieve skin infections.

Additionally, Spanish Californians used redshank as a remedy for colds, snakebite and tetanus.

Today, the well-seasoned root balls are a favorite wood to use for slow-cooking meat in large quantities and the trunk and branches an excellent firewood.

While common in the Anza Valley, redshank is a rare resource that many believe should be protected.

ENTERTAINMENT From a top-secret wine cellar in Temecula Wine Country, it’s…

Thornton Winery

Thornton Winery’s Cafe Champagne Restaurant is located at 32575 Rancho California Road in Temecula Valley Wine Country.

Valley News/Shane Gibson photos

Rob Crisell SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Running a successful winery in California is not for the faint of heart. It is a complicated, risky and wildly expensive endeavor.

As the saying goes, if you want to make a small fortune in the wine business, start with a large one.

New wineries are built on top of mountains of cash.

Temecula wineries usually follow one of two economic models.

The first is the wine-centric model, practiced by the majority of wineries in our area until the early 2000s.

These family-run businesses depend on wine sales as their primary, and often only, income stream.

They promote their winemakers and viticulturists, educate staff and customers about their wine and cultivate their membership clubs. Usually, owners double as winemakers and tend to be heavily involved in day-to-day decisions.

The second model, however, is more holistic; it is less about wine and more about the “winery experience.” Such wineries still sell wine and maintain vineyards, but their raison d’etre – what keeps their investors happy and their debtors at bay – is selling food, providing entertainment and hosting private events, especially weddings. Wine is merely another ingredient in a much bigger economic pie.

Thornton Winery is the foremost pioneer of this second economic model. For 35 years, it has provided visitors an experience that emphasizes entertainment and food, while making enough wine to complement those income streams.

The Background With its formal French-Chateaumeets-California architecture, Thornton Winery is one of the most recognizable structures in Temecula. There is nothing flashy, however, about either the winery or its ownership. When I interviewed John Thornton in 2014, it was hard for me to believe that he was among the most successful businessmen and philanthropists in Southern California. ThorntonUCSD Hospital in San Diego is just one of the beneficiaries of his and his wife’s largesse.

When it opened in 1988, Thornton Winery was one of only five or so wineries in Temecula, with an enviable location at the entrance of the Rancho California wine trail.

What John Thornton and his wife Sally, who died in 2015, lacked in wine know-how, they made up for in hard work, business acumen and capital. Their multi-pronged approach to the wine business served as a template for later wineries such as South Coast, Ponte and Wilson Creek wineries.

Since the beginning, Thornton Winery made a name for its sparkling wines, which are produced through the methode champenoise, the same painstaking technique used by winemakers in Champagne, France. Originally, the winery offered eight different kinds of champagne, recruiting a young winemaker from Texas named Jon McPherson to lead the way. During the recessions of the 1990s, Thornton Winery began to include reds and whites as well. Aside from the champagne, nearly all wines are made from Temecula fruit.

Soon after opening, the winery built the first full-service restaurant in wine country with fine dining seven days a week. Café Champagne has since evolved into a more casual eatery, but it is still a solid choice.

Thornton Winery is probably best known for its Champagne

Jazz Concert Series, which features musicians from across the U.S. Now in its 30th year, the series of outdoor concerts draw hundreds of visitors every weekend from May to October. Famous artists such as Kenny G, Boz Skaggs, George Benson, Al Jarreau, David Sanborn and Bruce Hornsby, are regular guests.

The Visit On Tuesday around noon, I pulled into the long driveway off Rancho California Road, taking it up to the main parking lot. It is remarkable how little the winery’s physical appearance has changed over 30 years. The grounds are still lovely, with a sprawling lawn, a cascading water feature and five acres of vines. The production facility is in a massive metal building in back of the main winery. Passing the restaurant’s herb garden, I emerged into the open plaza with its several covered patios. There are pleasant views of Callaway and Europa wineries to the north.

Since my daughter was with me, I decided to have lunch under a trellis connected to the restaurant. The American-cuisine lunch menu has a modest selection of sandwiches, burgers, appetizers, salads and desserts. Even for wine country, the food prices are exorbitant. In the end, we paid $80 for a chicken Caesar salad and a plate of fish and chips. My server was sweet but sorely outnumbered by guests. Luckily, the food was good.

The Wines After lunch, I moved on to the wine. On weekends, there are two counter tasting areas available inside the winery. On weekdays, however, all tastings are sit-down flights at the restaurant. There are ten different flights, including sparkling, sweet, estate and so on.

Each flight is between $28 and $31 and includes four 1.5-ounce pours, making Thornton one of the most expensive places to taste wine in the valley. Bottle prices are comparably steep, more if you buy them at the restaurant. Almost all still wines date from 2019 or

Winery Review

Popular Thornton Winery wines include, from left, Rose of Sangiovese, Syrah, Blanc de Noirs and Sauvignon Blanc.

later, which is when Tom Stolzer took over winemaking duties from Thornton’s long-time cellar master David Vergari.

As I’ve mentioned in other reviews, wine flights usually eliminate any interaction with wine servers. It means fewer insights about how the wine is made, its evolution, details about the harvest and so on. It was the case for me at Thornton Winery. The same waitress who served me lunch also brought my “red and white” mixed flight. She had neither the time nor training to engage in a discussion of the wines.

The first wine I tried was the 2020 Chardonnay, with fruit sourced from Monterey County.

On the nose, I smelled butter, vanilla and baking spices. The menu’s write-up mentioned stainless steel aging, but there seemed to be oak as well. The wine was full-bodied, with green apple, pear and tropical fruit notes on the palate along with bright acidity and medium alcohol.

It was tasty.

Next I tried the 2021 Albariño.

The aroma was of pear, nectarine and peach, which was reflected in the taste as well. The above average acids and tart aftertaste would complement fried and fatty foods.

In general, it was a light, lowalcohol, easy-going white.

I tasted the 2019 Estate Sangiovese, the only estate wine in my flight and my favorite of the day.

There were aromas of cedar and cherry. On the palate, the wine was medium bodied, but packed with flavors of sour cherry, roasted tomato and cranberry. Mouthwatering acids predominated, along with smooth tannins and medium alcohol. At $42, it was among the least expensive reds offered.

I finished with the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose had interesting aromas of eucalyptus and plum, with vanilla and spice notes from the oak. The taste was fairly intense, with medium alcohol and juicy flavors of plum and dark cherry. An interesting and enjoyable wine.

View of the lawn and vines await visitors in front of Thornton Winery in Temecula Valley Wine Country.

The 64 athletes will compete for one of 20 spots on the final 15U National Team roster from August 14-23 at Tempe Diablo Stadium in Tempe,

Arizona.

Selected athletes were invited to Training Camp based on their performance at one of four USA Baseball sanctioned events, including the 14U and 15U National Team Championships. Thirty of this year’s Training Camp selections participated in the event in North Carolina, while 15 competed in Arizona. Thirteen other athletes were chosen from the USA Baseball National Team Identification

Series Champions Cup last August and four earned invitations from last year’s 13U/14U Athlete Development Program.

The 2022 13U/14U ADP took place from Aug. 1-4, at the USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, North Carolina, where eight athletes also earned invitations to the 15U National Team Training Camp.

“We are thrilled to announce the first 64 athletes for the 15U

National Team Training Camp,” Paul Seiler, executive director and CEO of USA Baseball, said. “Our coaches and task force members have identified the best ballplayers in the country, and I am confident they will exemplify all the qualities we are looking for in future members of Team USA.” Highlighting the Training Camp roster are Great Oak sophomore Gavin Fien of Temecula, Rashad Hayes of Oakland, Jaiden Lo Re of Phoenix and Jack McKernan of Missouri City, Texas, who were all members of both the 2019 12U National Team and participants at the 2021 13U/14U ADP. In total, the roster features seven USA Baseball national team alumni and 13 players from last year’s 13U/14U ADP. The roster features players from 24 different states across the country. California leads the way with 17 selections, followed by Texas with 11. Leading Team USA in 2022 is Manager Drew Briese, who will make his Team USA managerial debut. He began his national team coaching career in 2016 when he served as an assistant coach for the 15U National Team, where he helped lead the stars and stripes to a bronze medal at the World Baseball Softball Confederation U-15 Baseball World Cup. Most recently, Briese served as the field coordinator at the 2021 13U/14U Athlete Development Program and has held numerous other roles as a pitching coach, assistant coach and evaluator for Team USA since 2013.

Dodgers recognize late broadcasting icon, Vin Scully

Dodgers’ broadcasters Joe Davis and Orel Hershiser unveil a banner from the booth honoring legendary Valley News/Dodgers Katie Chin photo broadcaster Vin Scully.

Vin Scully, Hall of Fame broadcaster for the Dodgers in Brooklyn and Los Angeles, died Tuesday, August 2, at age 94.

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

Broadcasting legend Vin Scully, best known for his 67 seasons calling games for Major League Baseball’s Los Angeles Dodgers, beginning in 1950 and ending in 2016, passed away in the late afternoon hours Tuesday, August 2, at age 94.

Scully, who opened every broadcast with the familiar greeting, “Hi, everybody, and a very pleasant good evening to you wherever you may be,” died at his home in the Hidden Hills section of Los Angeles.

“He was the voice of the Dodgers, and so much more. He was their conscience, their poet laureate, capturing their beauty and chronicling their glory from Jackie Robinson to Sandy Koufax, Kirk Gibson to Clayton Kershaw. Vin Scully was the heartbeat of the Dodgers, and in so many ways, the heartbeat of all of Los Angeles,” a release by the Los Angeles Dodgers stated.

As the longest tenured broad-

caster with a single team in pro sports history, Scully saw it all and called it all. He began in the 1950s era of Pee Wee Reese and Jackie Robinson, on to the 1960s with Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax, into the 1970s with Steve Garvey and Don Sutton and through the 1980s with Orel Hershiser and Fernando Valenzuela. In the 1990s, it was Mike Piazza and Hideo Nomo, followed by Clayton Kershaw, Manny Ramirez and Yasiel Puig in the 21st century.

“Today was definitely a downer,” Valley News photographer David Canales said. “It brought back so many memories of me and my grandpa listening to the games on a transistor radio.”

Canales has covered all aspects of local and professional sports over the years, including Dodgers broadcasting great Vin Scully.

Ever gracious both in person and on the air, Scully considered himself merely a conduit between the game and the fans. Although he was paid by the Dodgers, Scully was unafraid to criticize a bad play or a manager’s decision or praise

an opponent while spinning stories against a backdrop of routine plays and noteworthy achievements. He always said he wanted to see things with his eyes, not his heart.

Paying their respects, the Los Angeles Dodgers not only extended their six-game winning streak when they defeated the San Diego Padres 8-1 at Dodger Stadium, they honored their former broadcaster the evening of Friday, August 5.

The game was the Dodgers first at Dodger Stadium since Vin Scully’s death.

Both the Dodgers and Padres were lined up along the third- and first-base lines for a moment of silence followed by a tribute video played on the stadium’s message board. The entire Dodgers team then huddled around the mound, watching another tribute video of Scully, which included photos with some current and former Dodgers players and broadcasters.

Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts then addressed the sellout crowd announced at 52,714.

“Vin, as he’s looking down on us right now, hated the spotlight on him. This is going to be very uncomfortable for him because this moment right now he really deserved,” Roberts said. “Vin was a man of character, integrity, class; a true gentleman. He just wasn’t

a Dodger. He loved the game of baseball that we all love and care about.”

Roberts recalled that during the final game Scully broadcasted at Dodger Stadium on Sept. 25, 2016, a banner hung from Scully’s broadcast booth saying, “I’ll miss you.”

Dodgers’ broadcasters Joe Davis and Orel Hershiser then unveiled a banner from the booth saying, “Vin, we’ll miss you!” followed by a blue heart.

“Vin, you will be missed,” Roberts said. “We love you. We’ll think

about you every day. Every day we come here, every fan that shows up to Dodger Stadium, you’ll always be remembered, you’ll always be linked to these five words: ‘It’s time for Dodger baseball.’”

Roberts then exhorted the crowd to get on their feet and “on the count of three, yell as loud as you can, ‘It’s time for Dodger baseball’ so Mr. Vin can hear us from blue heaven.”

Temecula’s Whitmore helps Team USA clinch Canadian series

With runners at first and second, Temecula’s Kelsie Whitmore laces a double to right field to give the U.S. the early lead over Canada Sunday, July 31.

The USA Baseball’s Women’s National Team clinched their friendship series over Canada Sunday, July 31, Valley News/USA Baseball photos with a 7-0 victory at Baseball Central in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

THUNDER BAY, Ontario – The USA Baseball’s Women’s National Team scored three runs in the first inning and never looked back as it defeated Canada Sunday July 31, in shutout fashion, 7-0, at Baseball Central in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

With the win, the United States clinched the friendship series and improved to 3-1 while Canada moved to 1-3. Heading into the friendship series, Team Canada was ranked fourth in the world behind Taiwan, Chinese-Taipei and Japan with the USA ranked in the fifth spot. The last time these teams met was at a bronze medal game where Canada beat USA 4-3 in dramatic fashion in extra innings.

In their fourth of five games, the U.S. jumped out to a 3-0 lead on three hits in the first inning.

Malaika Underwood and Kylee Lahners started the spark with an infield single and hit-by-pitch, respectively, and Temecula’s Kelsie Whitmore drove in the first run with a double to right field to send Underwood home from second. Jillian Albayati made it 2-0 when her RBI groundout scored Lahners from third and then Jade Gortarez’s RBI single up the middle easily sent Whitmore home to plate the third run.

The bats were quiet for both teams until the fifth inning when the Stars and Stripes broke it open and made it 6-0. Alex Hugo drew a leadoff walk and then Underwood and Lahners each singled to load

the bases for Whitmore, who cleared the bases with a double to left field.

Team USA tacked on its final run of the game in the sixth inning to make it 7-0. After Ashton Lansdell and Remi Schaber drew walks, Underwood tallied her third hit of the game with a long single to right field to score Lansdell from second.

Starting pitcher Albayati was phenomenal on the mound, tossing five shutout innings with three strikeouts to pick up the win. Jamie Baum and Kate Blunt each threw an inning in relief to combine for the shutout. In total, the trio held Canada to five hits.

Canada’s Alexane Fournier was dealt the loss after allowing five earned runs in 4.1 innings pitched.

At the plate, Underwood led all players with a 3-for-4 outing, including a run batted in and two runs scored. Whitmore and Gortarez also tallied two hits apiece, as Whitmore, who made history earlier this year as the first woman to play in the Atlantic League, drove in a game-high four RBIs. Through four games, the U.S. had outscored Canada, 38-13.

The teams concluded their friendship series on Monday, August 1, where Team Canada exploded for an eight-run, eight-hit, bottom of the first off of Whitmore, who had previously tossed five scoreless innings against the Canucks to open the series.

After the outing, Whitmore took to social media saying she was, “Thankful for the good people with kind hearts in my life, I don’t know what I would do without y’all.”

Padres trade at deadline has local fans fired up for the future

The Washington Nationals traded Juan Soto to the San Diego Padres Tuesday, August 2, in one of baseball’s biggest deals ever made at the trade deadline.

Valley News/San Diego Padres photo

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

The San Diego Padres acquired superstar outfielder Juan Soto from the Washington Nationals Tuesday, August 2, in one of baseball’s biggest deals at the trade deadline, helping their postseason chances by adding one of the game’s best young hitters. Soto is a generational talent who turns 24 in late October.

The Padres also obtained first baseman Josh Bell while sending a haul of players to Washington that included rookie left-hander MacKenzie Gore, first baseman/ DH Luke Voit and prospects James Wood, C.J. Abrams, Robert Hassell III and Jarlin Susana.

Voit was a late addition to the deal after San Diego first baseman Eric Hosmer declined to waive a

no-trade provision. The Padres also acquired infielder Brandon Drury from Cincinnati. The Padres sent minor league shortstop Victor Acosta to the Reds for the 29-yearold Drury, who has a career-high 20 homers this year.

The deal was a bit of a bummer for Lake Elsinore Storm fans as James Wood put up impressive stats this season where he slashed .337/.453/.601 with a 1.054 OPS in his first season at the Single-A level. The move has not stopped the 19-year-old from producing right away with his new team though. The No. 4 Nationals prospect went 4-for-6 with a homer, three RBIs and a stolen base in Single-A Fredericksburg’s 10-9, 10-inning loss to Down East.

As for Soto, after contributing to the Nationals’ first championship in franchise history in 2019, Soto

hit .351 in 2020 to win the NL batting title. He has been walked more than any other player in major league baseball over the past two seasons. This season he hit .246 with 20 home runs and 45 RBIs and 91 walks in 101 games for the Nationals.

San Diego began the season with a luxury tax payroll of $229.3 million, just below the first threshold, and the trades push the Padres into tax territory for the second straight season. Soto is owed $5,978,022 for the rest of this season and Bell $3,516,844.

Washington general manager Mike Rizzo set a lofty asking price last month after reports emerged that Soto rejected the team’s latest contract offer of $440 million over 15 years.

“We set the bar very, very high, and one team exceeded it and that’s the deal we made,” Rizzo said.

“Props to the San Diego Padres.

They’re not afraid, and ownership’s not afraid and A.J. Preller’s not afraid and they were aggressive, and we made a deal that you call historical.”

Soto would have remained under team control for two more seasons after this one, which made it no sure thing the Nationals would trade him. The Padres getting him for potentially three playoff runs even absent a new deal made this the peak of Soto’s value. He gets to start over in San Diego in the midst of his second All-Star season, part of a loaded lineup that also includes All-Star Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. when the shortstop returns from a broken left wrist. Tatis could be

Prior to being traded, Juan Soto hit .246 with 20 home runs and 45 RBIs and 91 walks in 101 games for the Nationals.

10 days to two weeks away from being added to the active roster.

In their first game after the trade, a sellout crowd came to cheer Soto in his first game with the San Diego Padres and went bonkers when Drury hit a grand slam on the first pitch he saw with his new team.

Soto walked, Machado doubled and Bell walked to load the bases before Jake Cronenworth was hit by a pitch to bring in Soto. Drury then drove the first pitch he saw from RHP Chad Kuhl into the seats in left-center. It was his second career grand slam and 21st homer this season.

“I was just running on adrenaline,” Drury said. “The fans were incredible tonight. First at-bat, bases loaded, I was just running on pure adrenaline. Really excited to be here. It was pretty special for me.”

Machado, who has carried the Padres most of the season, homered leading off the fifth and finished a triple short of the cycle in San Diego’s fifth straight win.

Cronenworth capped the evening on offense with a two-run shot. The big beneficiary was left-hander Blake Snell (4-5), who struck out nine batters in six innings and won his third straight start.

Feeding off the energy of Soto and the crowd, the new-look Padres routed the Colorado Rockies 9-1 on an electric night at Petco Park.

With the Trade Deadline blockbuster of all blockbusters, never before has a player like Soto been dealt. Soto is on a Hall of Fame track. Babe Ruth (24 when sold in December 1919) and Miguel Cabrera (24 when traded in December 2007) are the closest parallels.

After selling Ruth to the Yankees, the Red Sox did not have a winning season for another 16 years. Since trading Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis to the Tigers for six players, the Marlins haven’s made the playoffs in 13 full seasons (though they did sneak into the postseason during pandemicaltered 2020). Only time will tell for this history-making trade, but with their current position at second place in the wildcard race, getting swept by the Dodgers over this past weekend, did not help their cause. Fifty games remain in the regular season, so there is a lot of baseball left to play. Follow all the action at www.mlb.com.

Menifee Public Works offers look at a drafted Local Road Safety Plan Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The city of Menifee, concerned about the rise in traffic accidents and fatalities in the city, has evaluated and created a Local Road Safety Plan with the community.

The plan identify and emphasize the areas needed to inform and guide further safety evaluation of city roads to enhance Menifee’s transportation network by reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries.

The draft of the LRSP, still being designed by the Public Safety Department can be viewed on the city website. It identifies areas with high risk for crashes; Illustrates the value of a comprehensive safety program and systemic process; seeks to plan future safety improvements for the near, mid and long-term and will define safety projects for Highway Safety Improvement Program and other program funding considerations.

To reach these goals the city is seeking public input on its draft plan to further identify local road safety needs.

“The Menifee Public Works team is working hard to develop a Local Road Safety Plan that will further improve the city’s transportation network,” Nicolas Fidler, director of Menifee Public Works, said..“Community feedback is a critical step in this process as it helps us identify potential areas in need of a safety assessment.”

For more information regarding the LRSP and to provide feedback, visit the city’s website at http:// www.cityofmenifee.us/LRSP. Comments can also be emailed

by Friday, Aug. 12, to Jennifer Hernandez at jhernandez@cityofmenifee.us.

Menifee projects The following are some of the projects now underway in the city.

At Murrieta Road and Newport Road, EMWD is working on a new pipeline requiring some traffic control. Visit http://www.emwd. org/MurrietaRoad for additional updates on this project.

There are storm drain improvements going on at Palomar Road and Matthews Road, but the roads remain open.

At Goetz Road, north of Kabian Park, Southern California Edison is working on a Utility Undergrounding Project, but it has completed portions of this project requiring traffic control. The continuing work is not expected to impact traffic flow.

Traffic signal improvements at Murrieta Road and Sun City Boulevard have kept Sun City Boulevard east and west of Murrieta Road closed but it may be open now. Additional work will continue in this area through the end of August.

At Scott Road between Menifee Road and Briggs Road, the Sumac Ridge Utility Work is requiring intermittent traffic control.

The Potomac and Meadows Resurfacing project has begun and will be followed by slurry sealing. Pedestrian ramp demolition and reconstruction has also begun, followed by slurry seal operations, which are expected to begin in late August. For a map of street locations that will be resurfaced through this project, visit the project page on the Menifee city website.

Traffic signal improvement work continues at Garbani and Menifee roads that may require intermittent traffic control. Flag-

men are present and assisting with traffic flow.

Newport Road and Murrieta Road will see SCE vault and conduit installation with daily work and night work for another week. Alternating lane closures and traffic control configurations may occur.

Barnett Road remains closed between McLaughlin Road and Patricia Lane. This closure is expected to remain in place for the next four weeks while the existing dirt roadway is paved by the developer of a nearby residential project.

Traffic signal improvement projects are taking place at Murrieta and Rouse roads and at La Piedra Road and Menifee roads with some intermittent traffic controls.

The city of Menifee is constructing street improvements in the Tradewinds Development off state Route 74, which will include sidewalk and pedestrian ramp improvements and full removal and replacement of the street section.

Work will continue in this area for two months.

For questions on the project/ construction updates listed, contact Philip Southard, public information and legislative affairs officer of Menifee, at 951-746-0654 or at psouthard@cityofmenifee.us.

RCTC projects The Riverside County Transportation Commission said while the Interstate 15/Railroad Canyon Interchange is finished, clean-up work at the construction sites will continue. The focus for RCTC now is on the Placentia Avenue/ Interstate 215 Interchange and some improvement work at the Metrolink station in Perris.

RCTC is continuing work with the geotechnical engineering firm of Kleinfedler on the long sought Mid-County Parkway to accommodate regions west to east movement from Perris and Menifee to Highway 79 leading into the desert cities. The project, which was first envisioned in 2004, has run into hurdles with available funds and costs as the planning continues with millions of dollars already expended.

Kleinfelder, with those issues in mind, is working with RCTC now on the 16-mile eastern half and adding two system-to-system interchanges, nine new service interchanges and 40 new bridge structures. Ongoing construction and investigations demanded that the team quickly adjust to changing schedules, delivering innovative solutions in accordance with updated environmental and regulatory requirements.

Caltrans projects The California Department of Transportation advised motorists in the Valley that crews will be working on some ramp enhancements to I-15, I-215 and Highway 79 during the week. Those ramps are being worked on at Temecula Parkway, Rancho California Parkway and Highway 79 at Winchester Road.

Also, motorists using the 1-15 route to Hesperia and Victorville should also be watching for crews working to rehabilitate 59 miles of the highway in San Bernardino County from Oak Hill Road in Hesperia to just south of Bear Valley Road in Victorville, according to Caltrans. Crews continue excavation, grinding and paving operations going both north and southbound.

Tourists find safety after floods close Death Valley roads Jacques Billeaud And Michael R. Blood THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hundreds of hotel guests trapped by flash flooding at Death Valley National Park were able to drive out after crews cleared a pathway through rocks and mud, but roads damaged by floodwaters or choked with debris were expected to remain closed into next week, officials said Saturday.

The National Park Service said Navy and California Highway Patrol helicopters have been conducting aerial searches in remote areas for stranded vehicles, but had found none. However, it could take days to assess the damage since the park near the California-Nevada state line has over 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers) of roadway across 3.4 million acres (1.3 million hectares).

No injuries were reported from the record-breaking rains Friday.

The park weathered 1.46 inches (3.71 centimeters) of rain at the Furnace Creek area. That’s about 75% of what the area typically gets in a year, and more than has ever been recorded for the entire month of August.

Since 1936, the only single day with more rain was April 15, 1988, when 1.47 inches (3.73 centimeters) fell, park officials said.

Nikki Jones, a restaurant worker who is living in a hotel with fellow employees, said rain was falling when she left for breakfast Friday morning. By the time she returned, rapidly pooling water had reached the room’s doorway.

“I couldn’t believe it,” Jones said. “I hadn’t seen water rising that fast in my life.”

Fearful the water would come into their ground-floor room, Jones and her friends put their luggage on beds and used towels at the bottom of doorways to keep water from streaming in. For about two hours, they wondered whether they would get flooded.

“People around me were saying they had never seen anything this bad before — and they have worked here for a while,” Jones said.

While their room was spared, five or six other rooms at the hotel were flooded. Carpet from those

The National Weather Service reported that all park roads had been closed after 1 to 2 inches of rain fell in a short amount of time.

rooms was later ripped out.

Most of the rain — just over an inch — came in an epic downpour between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. Friday, said John Adair, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Las Vegas.

The flooding “cut off access to and from Death Valley, just washing out roads and producing a lot of debris,” Adair said.

Highway 190 — a main artery through the park — is expected to reopen between Furnace Creek and Pahrump, Nevada, by Tuesday, officials said.

Park employees also stranded by the closed roads were continuing to shelter in place, except for emergencies, officials said.

“Entire trees and boulders were washing down,” said John Sirlin, a photographer for an Arizona-based adventure company who witnessed the flooding as he perched on a hillside boulder, where he was trying to take pictures of lightning as the storm approached.

“The noise from some of the rocks coming down the mountain was just incredible,” he said in a phone interview Friday afternoon.

In most areas water has receded, leaving behind a dense layer of mud and gravel. About 60 vehicles were partially buried in mud and debris. There were numerous reports of road damage, and residential water lines in the park’s Cow

Creek area were broken in multiple locations. About 20 palm trees fell into the road near one inn, and some staff residences also were damaged.

“With the severity and widespread nature of this rainfall it will take time to rebuild and reopen everything,” park superintendent Mike Reynolds said in a statement.

The storm followed major flooding earlier this week at the park 120 miles (193 kilometers) northwest of Las Vegas. Some roads were closed Monday after they were inundated with mud and debris from flash floods that also hit western Nevada and northern Arizona.

Friday’s rain started around 2 a.m., according to Sirlin, who lives in Chandler, Arizona, and has been visiting the park since 2016.

“It was more extreme than anything I’ve seen there,” said Sirlin, the lead guide for Incredible Weather Adventures who started chasing storms in Minnesota and the high plains in the 1990s.

“A lot of washes were flowing several feet deep. There are rocks probably 3 or 4 feet covering the road,” he said.

The EMWD board voted 5-0 Wednesday, Aug. 3, to award the contract to Dudek. The contract will be for $164,535, and the board action appropriated $483,000 to cover the project costs through the bid and award phase.

The Washington Street transmission main project will improve the operations of the proposed Belle Terre Tank as well as the water transmission system in the area.

Approximately 6,400 liner feet of pipeline 18 inches in diameter will be installed along Washington Street between Fields Drive and Abelia Street. The work will also include a tunnel crossing north of Cottonwood Road.

EMWD staff solicited scope of work and fee information from two firms which are on Eastern’s as-needed professional engineering services list. Dudek was selected due to the firm’s experience with similar projects including EMWD’s Perris Boulevard potable water transmission pipeline project. The Dudek office in San Juan Capistrano will perform the engineering services.

The design scope of work will include project management, review of utility data, field investigations, preliminary design, final design, preparation of contract documents, permitting support and bid phase services. The design phase is expected to take 11 months.

Although the contract with Dudek is for $164,535 the EMWD budget rounds items to the nearest $1,000 and allocates Dudek $62,000 for preliminary design, $100,000 for final design and

$3,000 for bidding support. The $212,000 preliminary design budget also includes $40,000 for geotechnical services, $50,000 for surveying, $20,000 for potholing, $25,000 for engineering branch labor, $5,000 for interagency coordination and $10,000 for contingency. The final design phase also includes $90,000 for environmental activities, $20,000 for permits, $25,000 for engineering branch labor and $10,000 for contingency.

The specification review phase has an $8,000 budget which covers the final preparation of plans and specifications. In addition to the Dudek payment the bid and award phase allocates $15,000 for labor, advertisement and materials.

Funding for the construction phase will be budgeted after a better assessment of the estimated cost is obtained.

US pledges $1 billion more rockets, other arms for Ukraine

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration announced another $1 billion in new military aid for Ukraine Monday, Aug. 8,

pledging what will be the biggest yet delivery of rockets, ammunition and other arms straight from Department of Defense stocks for Ukrainian forces.

The U.S. pledge of a massive new shipment of arms comes as analysts warned that Russia was

moving troops and equipment in the direction of the southern port cities to stave off a Ukrainian counteroffensive.

The aid includes additional rockets for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS, as well as thousands of

artillery rounds, mortar systems, Javelins and other ammunition and equipment. Military commanders and other U.S. officials say the HIMARS and artillery systems have been crucial in Ukraine’s ongoing fight to try to prevent Russia from taking more ground.

The latest announcement brings the total U.S. security assistance committed to Ukraine by the Biden administration to roughly $9 billion since Russian troops invaded in late February.

“At every stage of this conflict, we have been focused on getting the Ukrainians what they need, depending on the evolving conditions on the battlefield,” Colin Kahl, undersecretary of defense for policy, said in announcing the new weapons shipment.

Monday’s package allows the U.S. to deliver weapons systems and other equipment more quickly since it takes them off the Defense Department shelves.

For the last four months of the war, Russia has concentrated on capturing the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, where pro-Moscow separatists have controlled some territory as self-proclaimed republics for eight years. Russian forces have made gradual headway in the region while launching missile and rocket attacks to curtail the movements of Ukrainian fighters elsewhere.

Tax hikes in Manchin–Biden bill will crush middle-class Americans and manufacturers, critics say Bryan Jung THE EPOCH TIMES

President Joe Biden and the Senate Democrats, Aug. 7, pushed through the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which they claim will fight inflation, lower the federal deficit, and support the green economic polices that they claim will generate economic growth.

The vote was 51–50, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaking vote.

The Senate is scheduled next week to begin voting on a reconciliation bill with the House that may put all of the Build Back Better tax and spending increases back on the table.

The bill is a slimmed-down version of the original Build Back Better plan that failed to pass last year, and many critics are questioning if it will achieve any of its goals, after several studies reviewing the bill came out.

The Democrats claim that it will raise $739 billion in new revenue, create $370 billion in spending on energy and climate change and remove $300 billion from the federal deficit.

The revised bill gained traction after Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.) expressed support for it last week after gaining some concessions after stopping the Build Back Better bill last year.

After Manchin made his deal with the Democrat Senate leadership, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-

Ariz.) said she would support the bill Aug. 5, after gaining minor concessions.

What’s in the Bill?

The so-called “Schumer–Manchin Bill” will propose a 15% corporate minimum tax rate, prescription drug price controls, a $25 billion tax on the oil and gas industry, an expanded Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and closure of the carried interest loophole to pay for “green” energy investments and additional Affordable Care Act subsidy extensions.

The new act proposes to inject $750 billion into an economy already dealing with skyrocketing inflation due to trillions of dollars of pandemic-related stimulus injections and supply-chain chaos.

“Democrats are opening brandnew loopholes for special interests to avoid the new Made-in-America tax. The tax targets American manufacturers, who will create jobs and help us get out of the recession,” wrote the Ways and Means GOP committee in a tweet.

“Republicans are sounding alarms that this bill will raise taxes on American families, but it does not. Here’s the plain truth: the bill will not raise any taxes on families making under $400,000 a year,” responded Sen Chuck Schumer (D-NY), a key sponsor of the bill.

A New Tax Bill?

In fact, the Senate’s Joint Committee on Taxation (pdf) had already admitted that the new bill would raise taxes on nearly all

income brackets, mainly middleto upper-middle class Americans.

It also will raise taxes especially for low-end wage earners and small businesses, say critics, who believe it will destroy what is left of the middle-class, despite Biden’s statement that the act would not increase taxes on individuals making less than $400,000.

About 78–90% of the money raised from under-reported income would likely come from those making less than $200,000 a year, while only 4 to 9% of revenue would come from those making more than $500,000.

“Unleashing 80,000 new IRS agents on families, small businesses and farmers, driving up drug prices at the worst possible time and fueling inflation with spending.

This makes no economic sense. It will make a very cruel economy under Joe Biden even crueler,” said Ways and Means Republican Leader Rep. Kevin Brady (RTexas) on Fox Business.

Another key provision, panned by critics, will double the size of the IRS by hiring 87,000 new employees with an influx of $80 billion, making it one of the largest federal agencies on paper.

At least $45.6 billion out of the $80 billion will be set aside for tax enforcement, including litigation, criminal investigations, investigative technology, digital asset monitoring, and a new fleet of cars for the tax agents, plus millions of rounds of ammunition.

The IRS is expected to use its new resources to conduct more audits, civil suits, and criminal referrals primarily against middleclass taxpayers, where most of the potential revenue is located.

“The new wave of audits will hit taxpayers even as tax revenue as a share of gross domestic product is back close to its historical norm of 18.5% and may be going higher as corporate and individual tax revenue soars. Tax receipts were up 25% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 after rising 18.3% in fiscal 2021,” said the editorial board of The Wall Street Journal.

“The federal government isn’t starving for revenue. Congress wants more tax revenue because it can’t control its appetite for spending. That’s why it wants a tax agency in beast mode,” concluded the editors.

The bill would impose a 15% minimum tax on corporate book income for corporations with profits over $1 billion, effective for tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2022, but will only rake in $313 billion.

Also imposed is a 1% excise tax on stock buybacks, which is expected to bring in $73 billion annually.

“After the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, we saw half a million manufacturing jobs come back and be created in America. We saw investment in intellectual property, and a giant sucking sound of companies returning to the United States,”

said Brady.

“Under this president, we’ve seen just the exact opposite. These tax hikes are going after those companies we value the most— manufacturing, energy, telecom.

These are very harsh tax hikes.

Our economy can’t take this. There couldn’t be a worse time for it.”

No deflation on the horizon With regard to inflation, critics say the bill will reduce long-run economic growth, worsening the situation by constraining the productive capacity of the economy.

The bill would reduce inflation only in the short term, according to the Tax Foundation, an independent tax policy nonprofit.

“By increasing spending, the bill worsens inflation, especially in the first two years, as revenue raisers take time to ramp up and the deficit increases. We find that budget deficits would increase from 2023 to 2025, potentially worsening inflation,” said the tax policy center.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, in its latest forecast from May 25, federal spending for 2022 is expected to reach 23.5% of gross domestic product and grow to 24.3% over the next decade.

The Tax Foundation said that the future projections of the federal budget is at a “level only exceeded during the pandemic and World War II and far above the 50-year average level of 20.8%.”

The bill now awaits passage by the House, which is set to convene on Aug. 12, 2022, for final passage.

Nunes calls for special Congressional Committee to investigate DOJ

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) on Capitol Hill on Oct. 28, 2019.

(Samira Bouaou/The Epoch Times)

Zachary Stieber and Patel Kash THE EPOCH TIMES

The former member of Congress who uncovered key details about the Hillary Clinton-funded dossier and the U.S. government’s involvement in utilizing the document says the House of Representatives should form a special panel to investigate the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI. “If you look at the most important issue at the highest level in terms of government corruption, it’s got to be the Department of Justice,” former Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) said on EpochTV’s “Kash’s Korner.”

“There’s going to have to be an investigation like none that’s ever been done before,” he added.

The investigation should probe the 2012 Benghazi attacks, which top Obama administration officials falsely said stemmed from a protest but was actually planned beforehand; the DOJ’s involvement in President Donald Trump’s impeachment over a phone call with Ukraine’s president; the handling of prosecutions over the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol; and the FBI operation that led to arrests of men for allegedly plotting to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Nunes said.

It would also cover how the DOJ received and utilized the

anti-Trump dossier put together by ex-British spy Christopher Steele, an effort paid for by Trump’s 2016 rival presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee, and former special counsel Robert Mueller.

The proposed investigation would be so large that only a special committee, such as the one put together to probe how the Capitol breach happened, could properly do it, according to Nunes, who was at one time the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and now serves as CEO of Truth Social, Trump’s social media network.

“It’s got to be a big staff and it’s got to be people that are serious about reining in the Department of Justice,” Nunes said. “The House for sure can create a special committee of some kind, give it funding and run this investigation.”

“I don’t see how else they’re going to do it,” he added later.

The proposal is for after the new Congress is sworn in, which will happen in January 2023. Republicans are optimistic about not only flipping control of the lower chamber, but gaining a healthy majority.

Ideally, the Senate would also approve, but Republicans would likely have trouble in the upper chamber because they aren’t predicted to gain as many Senate

seats. Even if they have a majority in January, it would be slim.

The DOJ did not respond to a request for comment. The FBI declined to comment.

Nunes highlighted how the FBI took control of a laptop said to belong to Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son, in 2019, according to documents made public that the bureau has not disputed. But the bureau has revealed little information on how the computer was

handled, with Director Christopher Wray in a recent Senate hearing declining to speak on ongoing investigations.

The actions by the DOJ and FBI have left many Americans feeling they cannot trust the agencies, Nunes said—including himself.

“That is a bad place for this country to be,” Nunes said. While there are “great people that work in those agencies,” he said, “I don’t trust” them.

Older adult killed in Hemet home, person of interest identified City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

An older adult was killed in her Hemet home, and a person of interest was identified Friday, Aug. 5, though few details about the attack were released.

According to Hemet police Lt. Michael Mouat, patrol officers were sent to a residence in the

1900 block of Calle Amargosa, near Lyon Ave., shortly before 9 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 4, to conduct a welfare check on the victim, whose identity was not disclosed, at the request of her loved ones.

“Officers arrived at the location and discovered the deceased elderly female with visible injuries,” the lieutenant said.

He declined to specify the nature

of the wounds.

An individual was detained for questioning in connection with the deadly assault, but Mouat did not identify the party or provide any additional details regarding the circumstances.

Anyone with information relevant to the investigation was asked to contact detectives at 951765-2497.

Corona police confront man carrying rifle, leading to gunfire City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A man suspected of brandishing a rifle outside a Corona apartment complex, prompting police officers to shoot at him, remains at large, with authorities asking for the public’s help in identifying him.

According to the Corona Police Department, the officer-involved shooting happened shortly before 6 a.m. Sunday, July 31, outside the Ashton Apartments at 2178 Stoneridge Drive.

Detective Daniel Clary said that witnesses called 911, saying that a man was in the parking lot, carrying a rifle.

Patrol officers deployed a remote-controlled drone to scour the apartment complex, spotting the suspect “walking in the parking lot, holding a rifle,” Clary said.

“When officers attempted to contact the suspect, an officerinvolved shooting occurred,” the detective said. “The suspect dropped the rifle and ran to the Deerwood Apartment Complex.”

The suspect apparently was not hit, and no officers were injured.

California Highway Patrol and Riverside police officers deployed to the location to assist, along with Riverside County sheriff’s deputies, according to Clary.

“The suspect was not located

and is still at large,” he said. “During the search, officers recovered the loaded semi-automatic rifle.

There is no evidence or reports of anyone being injured during this incident.”

The suspect was described as a light-skinned Black or Hispanic man, in his 20s and about 5-foot10. He was wearing a dark-colored shirt with a colorful logo on the front, as well as black jogging pants with white stripes.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Corona police detectives at 951-736-2348 or leave information anonymously at the police department’s Tip Line at 951-817-5837.

Detectives seek public’s help piecing together puzzle of Hemet man’s murder City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Riverside County sheriff’s detectives are asking anyone with information regarding the murder of a 27-year-old Hemet man whose remains were likely discovered earlier this week to come forward, while the felon allegedly responsible for the deadly attack awaits arraignment.

Ricardo Pardo, 39, of Perris is charged with murder and a sentence-enhancing gun-use allegation for the slaying last year of Joshua Crosier.

Pardo is being held on $1 mil-

lion bail at the Robert Presley Jail in Riverside and is slated to be arraigned at the Riverside Hall of Justice Tuesday, Aug. 16.

According to sheriff’s Sgt. Steve Brosche, Crosier vanished in late August 2021, culminating in a missing person investigation that turned into a homicide investigation when, in April, detectives received information indicating that the victim had been killed.

Last month, the investigative team procured evidence pointing to Pardo as the alleged assailant, and he was arrested Thursday, July 28, Brosche said.

“On Aug. 2, after searching sev-

eral locations, male remains were located believed to be Crosier’s body,” the sergeant said. “The remains were located in the (unincorporated) county area of Perris.”

A possible motive was not disclosed, nor were any other details regarding the circumstances behind the slaying.

According to court records, Pardo has previous convictions for receiving stolen property, illegal possession of a firearm and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Anyone with information relevant to the investigation was asked to contact the Central Homicide Unit at 951-955-2777.

Men charged with trying to rob Norco shop, where 80-year-old owner shot one City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Felony charges were filed Wednesday, Aug. 3, against four men accused of trying to rob a Norco liquor store, where the shotgun-wielding owner opened fire on the armed defendants, wounding one and prompting all of them to beat a hasty retreat.

DaShawn Lee Belvin, 23; Davon Anthony Broadus, 24, of Inglewood; Justin Kyle Johnson, 22, of Inglewood and Jamar Elijah Williams, 26, of Las Vegas were arrested Sunday, July 31, after the failed holdup.

All of them are charged with attempted robbery, elder abuse, possession of a stolen firearm and sentence-enhancing allegations of using a gun during a felony and victimizing a person over 65 years old. Belvin is additionally charged with firearm assault.

Broadus, Johnson and Williams pleaded not guilty during an arraignment before Riverside County Superior Court Judge Sean Crandell, who scheduled a felony settlement conference for the trio Friday, Aug. 12, at the Riverside Hall of Justice.

Each defendant is being held in lieu of $500,000 bail, Broadus at the Smith Correctional Facility in Banning, Johnson at the Robert Presley Jail in Riverside and Williams at the Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta.

Belvin did not join his codefendants in court because he is still recovering from his wound.

He will not be arraigned until he’s medically cleared to leave the correctional infirmary at Riverside University Medical Center.

County sheriff’s Capt. Mike Koehler said that shortly before 3 a.m. Sunday, the four alleged would-be robbers pulled into the parking lot of Norco Market & Liquor at 816 Sixth St., exiting a BMW SUV holding long rifles,

one of which was an AR-15.

“These suspects approached the business entrance ... wearing facial coverings and hoods,” Koehler said. “Immediately upon entering the business, with the rifles pointed at the ready, an employee inside the business fired a single shot from a shotgun, causing the suspects to flee.”

The store owner, armed with a 12-gauge pump action, was identified in court documents as 80-yearold James Craig Cope.

“I got a long gun pointed directly at me,” Cope told the New York Post earlier this week. “It was either him or me, and I was a little bit faster.”

The wounded would-be robber, which court documents allege was Belvin, was struck in the left arm and fled from the establishment, screaming, “He shot my arm off!”

Koehler said the foursome went to a regional trauma center, where Belvin sought medical treatment.

Sheriff’s deputies were summoned to investigate and they discovered Broadus, Johnson and Williams in the SUV, parked outside the hospital, according to Koehler.

He said the three men, who were not injured, were taken into custody without incident after it was confirmed the BMW had been reported stolen.

“The vehicle was found to contain numerous stolen firearms,” Koehler said.

Further investigation, relying on security surveillance video from the store, confirmed that Cope had opened fire in self defense. He was not injured.

“A lawfully armed member of our community prevented a violent crime and ensured their own safety while being confronted with multiple armed suspects,” Koehler said.

The defendants have no documented previous felony convictions in Riverside County.
