Dada has seen the character excellence youth program evolve over the years from only 50 people attending the first awards ceremony to now around 250 attendees. Ini tially, a smaller number of youths were awarded the scholarships directly from local community colleges and now 10 are awarded. The scholarships, which may be used for educational expenses at the school or college of the youth’s choice, started at $500 per awardee and have grown to $2,500 per awardee.“Myphilosophy in life, which my grandfather embedded in me, is that this world would be a much better place if we measured success by how much one gives rather than how much one makes. I am a fourtime cancer survivor. The over whelming support I’ve received from my family and the community are certainly responsible for my re covery. I am very passionate about workforce development. Our pro grams and services invest in County residents and businesses to benefit the entire workforce ecosystem, which inspires me to keep moving forward,” Dada said. Other Jamil Dada Character Excellence Youth Award recipi ents and their residences include Angie Cortez Ramos, Jurupa Val ley; Brianna Espino, Palm Desert; Chandler Gibbens, Riverside; Jasson Ruiz, Moreno Valley; Si erra Alvarez, Bermuda Dunes, and Zayla Overton, Perris.

Garcia, youth pro gram coordinator for Riverside County Workforce Development, said selected youths must be par ticipants in Riverside County’s Workforce Innovation and Oppor tunity Act Youth Program at one of the county’s six Youth Opportunity Centers located in Hemet, Indio, Lake Elsinore, Moreno Valley, Perris and Rubidoux and must exemplify outstanding character, in accordance with the Six Pillars of Character, despite difficult situ ations.“The Workforce Development Board believes in celebrating and honoring these youths, many of whom have not previously received this sort of positive recognition,” sheMonnajesaid. McCorley has lived in San Jacinto for the past 10 years and began participating in CFLC Youth Opportunity Center programs al most two years ago. “I had to overcome my mental health issues, worrying too much about family problems that were out of my control,” the 19-year-old said, adding she had to also learn how to gain organizational skills. She plans to use her scholarship to attend art school and learn more about digital design and computer technology, while continuing her internship at Eastern Municipal Water District and making sure she keeps herself in a motivating mind set. She said she felt grateful and happy when she learned she was one of this year’s award recipients. “What I liked most about the ceremony was listening to the speeches from all the speakers be cause of what they had to say and the knowledge they shared with us that night,” she said. “On top of that, they gave us the inspiration to keep doing what we’re doing and persevere to become great.” Kenny Clark, who plays for the Green Bay Packers and is a former University of California Los Ange les football player, was the keynote speaker. Clark graduated from the Rialto Unified School District. Gar cia said the event’s guest speakers are always impactful but having an iconic figure such as Clark talk about being from the Inland Empire made it easy for the young guests to identify with him. “Each year, awardees amaze and inspire us with their resilience and tenacity in overcoming difficult and often tragic circumstances,” Garcia said. “In light of the additional chal lenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, including disconnection from traditional institutions of sup port for youth, such as schools, we are particularly appreciative of the awardees’ displays of character and determination in meeting their goals.”Kaine Spurlin said his life was completely changed after his moth er passed away when he was 16.

Dada said this award was started under the former Workforce In vestment Act of 1998 as a means of bringing recognition to youth jobseekers and helps employers ad dress business and staffing needs.” She added that the Riverside County Workforce Development is funded by the federal WIOA, which includes funding specifically for disadvantaged youths, ages 16-24. Garcia said the Jamil Dada Char acter Excellence Youth Awards have been given for 16-plus years and the ceremony was held at the Moreno Valley Conference Center until this year. The program was formerly called the Riverside County Council for Youth Devel opment. In 2014, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors re named it the Jamil Dada Character Excellence Youth Award in honor of Dada, who has been a com munity leader and spearheaded workforce development efforts at the local, state and national level. Dada is an officer of Provident Bank, where he has worked for many years. He is also a longtime member and vice chair of the Riv erside County Workforce Develop ment Board, a current member and past chair of the California Work force Development Board and cur rent member and past chair of the National Association of Workforce Boards. Additionally, Dada serves on several boards and commissions related to March Air Reserve Base and is a director with the Riverside University Health System Founda tion board. He is the only individual to have been selected as Citizen of the Year of the two largest cities in Riverside County, Moreno Valley in 1997 and Riverside in 2020. “Youths are our future and we need to support them as they will be tomorrow’s leaders,” Dada said. “I always enjoy catching up with past awardees and seeing them progress towards their goals. Several previ ous years’ awardees were subse quently selected to attend one of the Workforce Development Board’s annual Youth Advocacy trips to Washington, D.C. During that trip, attendees present their experiences in the Workforce Development program with legislators and to the federal Department of Labor. Hearing their stories is inspiring, motivating, and reminds me of the tremendous value our workforce programs bring to the community.”

Tony Ault STAFF WRITER With the initial idea to build a new City Hall and park on 27 acres in Wildomar not viable, the city council is looking at four other locations to build its future City Hall. The four other possible sites were outlined at the Wednesday, Aug. 10 regular council meeting. City Manager Daniel York said the first City Hall site at the sug gested 27-acre park was not fea sible economically for the city along with three other possible sites that were also deemed not possible because of a time element and cost. He said the staff, however, found four other possible new City Hall sites that might be more likely in the city. With that explanation he showed the four possible sites, numbered 1 through 4 to the full council with Mayor Ben Benoit,

Murrieta Police are investigat ing a body that was found deceased in a vehicle at Murrieta City Hall parking lot Friday, Aug. 12. The deceased person was found at about 10:30 a.m., and there is no threat to the public, according to Murrieta Police. It was later revealed that the woman was attacked in Cla remont and a suspect was arrested, authorities said Sat urday, Aug. 13 in a news re lease issued by Claremont Police. The woman, whose name has not been released, was suffering from a traumatic injury and was pronounced dead at the scene after paramedics from Murrieta Fire & Rescue and Murrieta Police were unable to revive her. A suspect, later identified as Jeffrey Calzada, 25, of Claremont, was arrested at the scene. According to the release, Clare mont Police received information from the Pomona Police Depart ment at 1:37 p.m. that a homicide had possibly occurred in the city of Claremont earlier in the day. Investigators determined that the homicide had occurred near Garey Avenue and Foothill Boulevard in Claremont, the news release said. Calzada was booked into the Cla remont jail and is being held in lieu of $2 million bail, police said. Anyone with information about the death was asked to call Claremont police at 909-399-5411.

Mayor Pro Tem Joseph Morabito and council members Ashlee DePhillippo, Bridget Moore and Dustin Nigg present. Those sites include No. 1 at Clinton Keith Road and Salida Del Sol on Mt. San Jacinto College property; No. 2 is at Wildomar Trail and Como Street near the cemetery and owned by the city; No. 3 is at Palomar Road and Prim rose Lane on a tree-lined ranch property and No. 4 is located off the the Interstate 15 in Wildomar Square off Hidden Springs Road. York said almost all the sites are feasible, but because of the costs, three would have to be in tempo rary manufactured home units to begin, except for one which could be a two-story building at Site 4. He explained each of the ameni ties the four sites would include. Following his explanation the council discussed their views on the possible best site, but did not make a final decision until more information on the sites becomes available.Moore and DePhillippo both said they needed more informa tion on the sites, but liked Site 3 because it could become a park as well in the future, but withheld any final decision. Benoit said Site 3 “is a beautiful property,” express ing some favor toward it. Morabito said he too would want more information on all the sites, but “none knocked it out of the park,” in his opinion. Nigg said he liked No. 3 as well because of the park and civic cen ter possibilities, but he said Site 4 was the more probable. York told the council time and money are playing a major role in any decision on city hall the coun cil might make, explaining they must use some of the American Rescue Plan funds, about $6 mil lion and can use developer funds to help finance the city hall. But, it still would not be enough for a full permanent structure on any of the possible properties. He said sites 1 and 3 could “move fairly quickly;” however, he said Site 4 was the quickest and most feasible but the “least desired.”

Benoit told York at the end of the discussion that the biggest thing was getting the cost estimates back for final consideration. He agreed. It was said that at the October Cof fee with the City and at the October city council meeting that Mt. San Jacinto College will be bringing forward their offers on that prop erty to the public and the city. In other business, the council unanimously agreed to a memo randum of understanding to pro vide the use of Marna O’Brien Park, sanitation and safety services for the planned Rooted In Nature Brewfest presented by the non profit Santa Rosa Plateau Nature Education Foundation in October. They reluctantly agreed to pass an ordinance allowing accessory dwelling units on private proper ties as required by California’s Senate Bill 9, but they said fire restrictions on some properties would slow things down for home owners.Theyapproved a booklet outlin ing the planned Capital Improve ment Projects previously approved from the next five fiscal years and allowed businesses a holiday from city business registration fees until December 2023. They hoped the unregistered businesses in the would now come forward to reg ister without the normal $75 cost. Tony Ault can be reached by email at tault@reedermedia.com

Efforts to build a Holocaust Memorial in Murrieta’s Town Square Park restarting after COVID
for on-site wastewater treatment systems and the discharge require ments will be regulated by the county’s Department of Environ mentalOrtegaHealth.Oaks is in the 34000 block of Ortega Highway. The on-site wastewater system consists of two septic tanks and two leach fields which collect wastewater from 70 recreational vehicle spaces and a restroom. The dump station at the RV park stores wastewater in an underground storage tank, and that water is pumped as needed and disposed off-site. The dump station does not discharge to the leach field. The RWQCB issued the waste discharge order for Ortega Oaks in July 2001. The State Water Quality Control Board has a water quality control policy for siting, design, operation and maintenance of on-site wastewater treatment systems. That policy established a risk-based and tiered approach for regulation and management of onsite wastewater treatment system installations and replacements, and the policy also allows the Regional Water Quality Control Board to approve a Local Agency Man agement Plan in which the local agency regulates and enforces the waste discharge requirements. The RWQCB approved the county’s Local Agency Management Plan in November 2016. No actual discharge violations have occurred. The ownership has received a notice of violation and enforcement letters for failure to submit complete annual monitor ing reports and failure to submit timely monitoring reports. A De cember 2021 compliance inspec tion by RWQCB staff determined that the facility could be overseen by the county. The rescission of the RWQCB waste discharge permit eliminates the need for the Ortega Oaks ownership to submit moni toring reports and pay fees to the State Water Quality Control Board. Ortega Oaks will be required to submit all waste pumping records and proposed treatment system upgrades to the county. The tentative rescission of the waste discharge order was released for a 30-day public review and comment period May 10, and no public comments were received by the June 9 deadline.

Many Jewish and Christian faithful are continuing their ef forts to build a special Education Holocaust Memorial in Murrieta’s Town Square Park with about 25% of the needed funding raised, but with more needed to complete its construction.TheHolocaust Memorial has already gained the approval of the Murrieta City Council with a plot of land at the park dedicated to its construction. Many of the valley’s Christian churches are supporting the Holocaust Memorial effort. Its purpose, according to the Holocaust Remembrance Foun dation and many others in the Judeo Christian world, is to re mind younger generations about the horrible antisemitism that took place by the Nazi regime in Germany during World War II. That holocaust left millions of Jews executed and dead in the Nazi concentration camps. The Memorial will also tell the story of liberation, immigrants to Israel and the hope for the future by the rescued Jewish people. The memo rial will align with the motto, “Out of Irvdespair…hope!”Michlin,member of Congre gation B’nai Chaim and spokes man for the Christian community, hoped to raise enough donations to have the Memorial completed in four to six months. He said that ef fort is now “going into high gear.” He added the effort is “progressing nicely.”Michelin said some of the fundraising and mostly educa tional efforts to stem growing antisemitism will begin Sept. 11 at 2 p.m. with an educational address by Mordechai Gur. Gur represents “Stand With Us” and is sponsored by Congregation B’nai Chaim in Murrieta at 29500 Via Princessa. It will be followed by a Memo rial fundraising event at Temecula Valley High School auditorium Oct. 29 with the nationally known “Big Phat Band,” a top jazz band. The outstanding band recently appeared at the Hollywood Bowl. Tickets for the concert will be sold at $75 to $300 at www.hrfv. org with the proceeds going to construct the Memorial, according to Michlin. Reserved seating can be purchased at Eventbrite. Other special fundraising and educational efforts and documen taries will be revealed soon.

The project must widen Macy Street approximately 9 feet and a new traffic signal will be installed at the intersection with Grand Avenue To minimize traffic impacts on Macy Street, the project has been conditioned to remove the street from confirmed delivery truck routing. The Planning Commis sion recommended approval with a unanimous vote June 21. The modified plans were shared at the most recent City Council meeting by the City’s Planning Manager Damaris Abraham. The civil engineer overseeing the proj ect gave a presentation, showing the modifications that have been made to the original plans after taking residents’ feedback into consideration.Therewere seven requests to speak during public comments after which city council members provided comments. Council Member Steve Manos said he genuinely appreciated everyone who came out to speak but that the area is zoned for commercial mixed use and the applicant spent a lot of time, money and effort to develop a project that fits the vi sion of the community. Council Member Bob Magee said that he does see where some minor changes could be made to make the project even more ac ceptable but said he has not seen any prior projects as well thought out as this one. Council Member Brian Tisdale said he does sympathize with residents who live on the County side of Macy Street as they have no representation at the city council meeting. He hopes the Riverside County will be able to offer some sort of protected parking or other concessions for them. Mayor Pro Tem Natasha John weather.gov/heat.

The whole underlying premise of legalizing sports wagering is to stop the il legalPropositionactivities.”27 is 100% funded and written by out-of-state online gaming corporations, Mejia said, reaffirming that those standing behind Proposition 27, are “at tempting to unleash the biggest expansion of online and mobile gaming in U.S. history.” Mejia said that 55 tribes with numbers continuing to climb, are now opposed to Proposition 27. He said the proposition is bad policy. “It’s bad for California, it’s bad for our economy, it’s bad for tribes, and it’s bad for our kids,” he said. Mayor Pro Tem Zak Schwank motioned to move the item, with Edwards seconding. The motion to support Proposition 26 passed four to one, with Councilmember Jessica Alexander casting the lone “no” vote, saying she “just couldn’t support” the motion.

LAKE ELSINORE – Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley broke ground on another home in Lake Elsinore Friday, Aug. 5, at 8 a.m. Due to a partnership with River side County and the city of Lake Elsinore, Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley commemorated the start of the affordable home owner ship build. The new homeowner ship opportunity is on Peck Street in the downtown area of the city. “Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley provides a wide array of programs to improve living conditions including home pres ervation, neighborhood revital ization, education, and of course our ReStores,” Tammy Marine, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley, said. “However, our primary program is centered around building affordable selfhelp homeownership opportuni ties for low-income families in Southwest Riverside County. The Peck home build will provide a life changing opportunity for a family and continues our mission of pro viding a hand up, not a hand out.” While a family for the Peck Street home has not been selected yet, the application process has been underway for several months. Once a family is selected, they will be matched with a partner advocate, participate in a series of educational classes, and will work at least 350 sweat equity hours to earn the down payment for their new“Wehome.are so grateful to partner with the city and county on this important project that permanently changes the financial stability of a hard-working family in our com munity. This home would not be possible without our supportive partners. We have additional hous es coming soon and are excited about the potential to help deserv ing families obtain their dream of homeownership,” Marine said. Partial funding for the build was paid in part by Neighborhood Stabilization Program funding. Habitat for Humanity Inland Val ley is looking for sponsors to help support the project financially, as well as volunteers to come be a part of construction.

COVID-related lung scarring shares origins with similar diseases emeritus of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health, also said prescribing medicines off-label is “how medicine has always“Thisworked.”ishow individualized medicine works—the doctor is treating the patient and not treating with policy,” Risch told The Epoch Times in “DoctorsJuly.have the experience knowing these things work, or they inform the patients that maybe there’s only a 30% chance that this will work. They say it’s worth a try if you want to take that risk. That is called informed consent,” said Risch. Attacks Kory said he has been attacked for spreading misinformation, and his medical license has been threatened.Koryand some doctors have advocated for the early treatment of COVID-19 from the first days of the pandemic. Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were among the most prominent medicines they recommended.“Iknowthedrug works, and I’ve been disseminating that knowl edge. Unfortunately, the narrative is that it doesn’t work,” said Kory, referring to ivermectin, one of the safest medicines in history. “The science around the efficacy of ivermectin has never been more inconvenient to the pharmaceuti cal and vaccination industry in history.”Korysaid some heavily pub lished trials were used to dismiss the efficacy of those two drugs. The trials were designed to use “toxic amounts of hydroxychlo roquine” to show it’s dangerous. As to ivermectin, a different tactic had been used. “They shortened the duration as much as possible. They started as late as possible. And they gave the lowest doses they could get away with because they wanted to try to show the inefficacy of ivermectin,” saidKoryKory.said he’s not worried about his license because everything he said was based on his expertise. Another attack is trying to re move his status as a board-certified doctor, or an expert in a certain specialty. It requires extensive training and passing an exam to become board-certified. The American Board of Medical Spe cialties (ABMS) is the leader in the nation for physician specialty certification. “Someone wrote to [ABMS], complaining about myself, Dr. Peter McCullough, and Dr. Paul Marik,” said Kory. “Dr. Peter McCullough is the most published expert in cardiorenal medicine. Paul Marik is the second mostpublished doctor in the history of our specialty, which is critical care medicine. And I was well known and highly published in another subfield of critical care medicine.” It’s “absolutely shocking” that some of the most highly published, evidence-based medicine experts are being accused of misinforma tion, said Kory. Shift Kory said the truth would come out“Thesoon.ability to suppress the scope and the scale of the vaccine injuries and deaths is starting to slip,” said Kory. “The ERs, the neurologists, cardiologists, on cologists, they’re seeing too many diseases in young people that they’ve never seen before—heart attacks, strokes, sudden deaths, and cancers. And you cannot sup press that. You cannot continue to suppress that.”

Kory said doctors in the system are now openly talking about the vaccines as a cause of injury. Besides the massive number of adverse events reported in VAERS, 8,808 claims have been made to the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) as of July 1. It is currently the only program to compensate individu als harmed by adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccines. Only one claim has been de termined eligible for compensa tion and is pending a review of expenses.TheCDC continues to say COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective and severe reactions after vaccination are rare. The U.S. Food and Drug Ad ministration in June authorized emergency use of Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccines for children down to 6 months of age. The mainstream media have largely ignored patients injured by the COVID-19 vaccines. Big Tech has also censored some stories of vaccine-injured people. On Aug. 3, Kory, McCullough, and Dr. Robert Malone joined a panel on COVID-19 response at Hillsdale College in Washington, D.C. It was led by Sen. Ron John son (R-Wis.), an outspoken critic of federal health agency failures and COVID-19 vaccine mandates. During the panel, Johnson called the Biden administration, the fed eral health agencies, big pharma, corporate media, and Big Tech a “COVID cartel” that has sabo taged early treatment and censored dissent.“Ithas been a colossal fraud, and is exemplified by massive corruption on almost every aspect of COVID,” said Kory. Kory said that the past twoand-a-half years are a “shocking” example of regulatory capture of health agencies by the vaccination and pharmaceutical manufactur ers.Recently disclosed information showed that Dr. Anthony Fauci and hundreds of scientists at the National Institutes of Health had received royalty payments from pharmaceutical companies. Fauci denied any wrongdoing during a Senate hearing in June. “We cannot let industry profi teers guide public health policy,” said Kory. Harry Lee is a New York-based reporter for The Epoch Times.

People injured by COVID-19 vaccines have been largely ignored by hospitals, federal health agen cies, and the mainstream media. According to Dr. Pierre Kory, a first-ever protocol for vaccineinjured people focuses on counter ing the spike protein mechanisms and shows promising results. Kory is a pulmonary and critical care specialist. He’s also the presi dent of the Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC Alliance), a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing protocols to prevent and treat COVID-19. “What we’re trying to focus on is ‘spikeopathy,’ which is the study of the pathogenesis of the spike protein. And there’s no one teach ing that to doctors in the system,” Kory told EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders.” “I’m humbled by these patients. Often they’re extremely complex, very sick. But I get them better to some extent, sometimes [to] large extents. I see robust responses. I see the diminution or mitigation of lots of symptoms, and others are much more difficult.”
University of California San Diego researchers found that a post-COVID lung disease shares origins with other scarring lung diseases, which may offer a path to effective therapies, according to a study released Wednesday, JulyAlthough20. most people re cover relatively quickly from COVID-19, around one-third of survivors experience symptoms weeks and months after the initial infection. In the study published in Wednesday’s online issue of eBioMedicine, however, UCSD scientists studied interstitial lung disease, a form of “long COVID” that consists of a group of chronic pulmonary disorders characterized by inflammation and lung scarring. The researchers said little is currently known about interstitial lung disease – which can be fatal without a lung transplant in its most severe form, but they found insights into the causes and paths the disease may take.

“Using an artificial intelligence approach, we found that lung fibrosis caused by COVID-19 resembles idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, the most common and the deadliest form of ILD,” cosenior study author Dr. Pradipta Ghosh, professor in the depart ments of Medicine and Cellular and Molecular Medicine at UCSD School of Medicine, said. “At a fundamental level, both conditions display similar gene expression patterns in the lungs and blood, and dysfunctional processes within alveolar type II cells.” Those AT2 cells play several roles in pulmonary function, in cluding the production of lung surfactant that keeps lung cells from collapsing after exhalation and regeneration of lung cells after“Theinjury.findings are insightful because AT2 cells are known to contain an elegant quality control network that responds to stress, internal or external,” Ghosh said. “Failure of quality control leads to broader organ dysfunction and, in this case, fibrotic remodeling of theTolung.”conduct the study, Ghosh col laborated with co-author Debashis Sahoo, associate professor in the departments of Computer Sci ence, Engineering and Pediatrics at UCSD, for the artificial intel ligence-assisted analysis among otherGhoshaspects.and Sahoo said the ap proach would help them stay un biased in navigating the unknowns of an emerging, post-pandemic disease. They analyzed more than 1,000 human lung datasets associ ated with various lung conditions, specifically looking for gene ex pression patterns, inflammation signaling and cellular changes. The disease with the closest match: idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis affects around 100,000 people in the United States, with 30,000 to 40,000 new cases annually. The condition has a poor prognosis, with an estimated mean survival of two to five years from time of diagnosis.

Related Coverage On Aug. 3, the FLCCC Alliance updated its “I-RECOVER” postvaccine protocol, which stresses the importance of early and indi vidualized treatment. Kory said there are about six or seven mechanisms under which the spike protein is causing ill nesses. The protocol attempts to find therapeutics to counteract or control the mechanisms. Studies and doctors have said that COVID-19 vaccines, especial ly those using mRNA technology, produce persisting spike protein in the human body and likely cause clots, heart inflammation, cancers, and other illnesses. Kory said the protocol is still in development.“Everything I’m doing is evolv ing. The way I was treating pa tients three months ago and the way I’m treating them now is very different,” he said. “I’m learning new tricks like new compounds, new therapeutics that seemed to work well. I’m using anticoagulation a little bit more. And in select patients, I’m finding a lot of benefit from that.” Kory said he has been work ing with doctors worldwide to help vaccine-injured patients. For example, he’s worked with some experts in the UK who can do live-blood analysis in dark-field microscopy.“We’reable to see all sorts of platelet aggregations, like very stimulated immune and clotting cells,” said Kory. “We’re finding tremendous responses to antico agulation.” Ignored Vaccine Injury “The science is ignoring this concept of vaccine injury syn drome. I will tell you, it is real, and it is common,” Kory said. “If you look at VAERS, there’s a catastrophic amount of injuries being reported.” The Vaccine Adverse Event Re porting System (VAERS) monitors the safety of vaccines. The latest VAERS data show 1,341,608 re ports of adverse events following COVID-19 vaccines, including 29,460 deaths and 243,466 serious injuries as of July 8, 2022. Kory said injuries reported in VAERS are under-reported. “The true number is unknown. But I will tell you it’s unacceptably high, and it’s very common.” Kory said he has patients who had been injured for over a year without help. Some doctors ended the patients’ visits when they claimed the COVID-19 vaccines caused their illness. “It’s a very troubling disease that we need help with. We need help from the system. We need to organize research. We need more open recognition of the syndrome and more publications. We just don’t have enough data,” said Kory.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that a report to VAERS does not mean that a vaccine caused an adverse event. ‘Unproven’ Therapies Kory said he and other doctors have been attacked for “using unproven therapies” to treat CO VID-19 patients or those injured by“Ofvaccines.course, I’m using unproven therapies. Show me what’s prov en?” he “There’ssaid.no organized effort to try to identify, in a controlled fashion, what’s working,” said Kory. “We’re left trying to doc tor the way old school doctors did, by observation, experience, knowledge of pathophysiology, and knowledge of pharmacology. We’re just doctoring.” Kory said it’s very common for doctors to use off-label medicines to treat patients. Dr. Harvey Risch, professor

City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS Prices for goods and services climbed 1.1% throughout the Riverside metropolitan area in the last two months, with pocketbook pressure up 9.2% locally over the last year, driven by rent, food and energy costs, federal officials said Wednesday, Aug. 10. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ bimonthly Consumer Price Index for the Riverside Area showed that food prices were the main driver behind higher living costs over the last two months, increasing 2.8% throughout the metro area, which covers northwestern Riverside County, as well as the cities of Ontario and San Bernardino.“Overthe (last) year, food prices increased 10.7%,” the BLS said, adding that “cereals and bakery products” most recently led the pack in price increases. In the last 12 months, rents were up nearly 9%, while energy costs were up 31.3% year-over-year, principally due to surging pump prices. The BLS, however, said that in the June-July period, energy prices actually declined 1.5%, dovetailing with a nationwide dip in gasoline prices. In the 12-month period ending July 2021, the local CPI registered a 6.5% year-over-year increase.

The 9.2% rate rise spanning July 2021 to July 2022 reflects the galloping pace of inflation impacting most sectors of the economy, with no comparable increases for the Riverside metro area since the local CPI was first published in 2018, data showed. The BLS said that, nationally, the Urban Consumer CPI was unchanged June to July, but for the 12-month period ending July 2022, it was up 8.5%, representing a 40-year high. The accelerating consumer price hikes have been blamed by the Biden administration on the war in Ukraine and consequent energy supply disruptions, but critics have pointed to the administration’s restrictive domestic energy policies, as well as excessive spending, including the flood of dollars contained in relief packages, as rootU.S.causes.Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen acknowledged during congressional testimony in June that inflation is the “top economic problem” facing the nation and that it would not be “transitory,” as she and Federal Reserve Bank Chair Jerome Powell had initially predicted. Powell said in June that inflation began a sharp upward trajectory in the last half of 2021, and he could not pinpoint when inflationary pressures might abate.

The Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District approved a Joint Community Facilities Agreement for a planned Wildomar develop ment.The EVMWD board voted 5-0 Aug.11 to approve the Joint Community Facilities Agreement between EVMWD, the City of Wildomar and KB Home Coastal, Inc. The agreement addresses 77 planned single-family homes on approximately 15 acres. A community facilities district allows bonds for infrastructure to be repaid through assessments on property (these are sometimes known as Mello-Roos taxes due to the state legislators who wrote the option for services on new devel opment to be funded by an annual assessment). An assessment must be approved by a majority of prop erty owners, although a developer who owns an undeveloped parcel may vote in favor of the CFD and once the property is subdivided those property owners are respon sible for the assessments. The CFD financing can cover capacity and connection fees paid to acquire capacity into the existing system as well as infrastructure expenses themselves including new facili ties and expansion, modification, rehabilitation, or other improve ments to existing facilities. The debt can also pay for engineering, planning, design and construc tion management costs. A Joint Community Facilities Agreement stipulates the collection process as well as the distribution process The planned development is east of Monte Vista Drive between Canyon Road and Grove Road. KB Home Coastal has been work ing with the city and the Elsinore Valley district to develop a Joint Community Facilities Agreement. KB Home, the water and sewer district, and the city anticipate bond proceeds of $3.7 million with approximately $2,000,000 being utilized to finance EVMWD water and sewer facilities includ ing connection fees and the rest being used for City of Wildomar and Lake Elsinore Unified School District capacity fees.

This week, in the middle of much controversial news, the U.S. Senate passed the Inflation Reduc tion Act, which was reportedly called that for marketing purposes and is now being called a climate bill by many news outlets. Then there was the historic raid on Mar-a-Lago, former President Donald Trump’s Florida home. Trump, it should be noted, is likely a political opponent for President Biden in 2024. There will continue to be controversy over that raid until there is more transparency from beginning to end, especially in light of how the DNC and the security agencies wrongly went after Trump and misused even the Foriegn Intelligence Surveillance court. It appears as though Dur ham’s investigation of the security agencies involve some of the same characters that are again involved in the raid of Mir-a-Lago. Also in the news, former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith who pleaded guilty to falsifying a docu in the three months after the shot, whereas people who have natural immunity have it for years. The CDC is still pushing “vaccines” as the most effective defense against COVID-19 in spite of the studies worldwide showing you need a booster every three months for it to be effective and the fact there have been millions of adverse ef fects and 30,000 deaths from the vaccines and boosters alone. Entities who have held on to their COVID-19 mandates will need to pay attention to CDC guid ance or face lawsuits, according to Mark Chenoweth, president and general counsel at the New Civil Liberties Alliance. He said in a recent press release that lawsuits are coming for entities that don’t change COVID-19 mandates after the CDC update. The issue is that these entities who have won lawsuits against their employees have previously used the CDC guidance as the basis of their legal position.
Greg Thomas SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEW Most of California is now in severe to extreme drought. While we are doing our part locally and will continue to do so, it is also time for the state of California to accelerate its investment in water storage and infrastructure to help avoid the cycle of crisis we are in – merely moving from one drought to the next. Simply put, a resilient water future requires big thinking and decisive action from the local level all the way up to the state. Impacts of climate change have taken their toll as California must contend with another year of record low precipitation and se vere stressors the Colorado River water supplies. Again, our state is experiencing one of the worst droughts on record. In May, El sinore Valley Municipal Water District responded to the state’s emergency mandates to reduce water consumption by 10% to 20%. We asked our customers to further conserve, and you continue to step up conservation to meet that request. The board and staff at EVMWD want to thank you for all you are doing to meet our water reduction goals by being water efficient during this third year of historic dryness in our state. Our region has demonstrated a history of excelling at water ef ficiency even prior to the current drought. The proof is in the num bers: Since 2013, our population has grown by 8%, yet within our service area customers used 6% less water despite this population growth. We met the State’s Water Conservation Act goal to reduce water use by 20% by 2020 well before the deadline by slashing our average water use by 43% sinceEVMWD2013. continues to work with the community to keep resi dents and businesses informed of the worsening conditions. We created an online resource at seenersfeaturesEVMWD.com/Drought2022http://thatguidancetohelpcustomlowertheirwateruse.Wehavethatsmall,everydayactions can add up to make a big difference in conserving our water supplies. In addition to conservation, EVMWD continues to invest in technology and infrastructure to improve water efficiency. In 2015, EVMWD pioneered an advanced metering infrastructure system. By 2017, all EVMWD customers had access to the free AquaHawk AMI system, which helps custom ers monitor their water use online, saving water and money. EVMWD is also working behind the scenes to optimize our water systems by securing grants to help us identify any potential inefficiencies and associated infrastructure upgrades to increase efficiency and reduce system loss.
Looking to the future, EVMWD is working closely with our com mercial customers to remove nonfunctional turf. We anticipate an additional 6.5 million gallons of water savings each year through our turf replacement program. Despite all the water efficient efforts we take here at home, there is more that must be done at the state level to develop long-term solutions for our water crisis. While residents, businesses and local water suppliers take the brunt of water saving action, it is critical the state of California use its existing funding and resources to provide immediate leadership and action to invest in water sup plies and storage to sustain our parched state. All of us need to accept we live in a state where drought is now a way of life, but it does not need to be a reoccurring crisis. Local water suppliers are the experts, so we ask the state to partner with us to support solutions that will help create a more resilient water future for the whole state. Water recycling, improved conveyance, increased storage and commonsense policies will go a long way in ensuring our people, businesses, farms, and environment continue to thrive in California. Greg Thomas is the general manager of Elsinore Valley Mu nicipal Water District.
Now as the CDC rolls back their quarantine recommendations for people, regardless of vaccination status, citing the high amount of immunity in the U.S. population from vaccination, prior infection, or both, businesses, schools and other entities will need to change their policies as well. I’m sure there will be more on this to come, but it just seemed like it was relegated to the back of the room while higher profile news was dictating the news cycle. It’s a little late, but I’m glad they are finally following the science.
Our veterans have never failed us, but sometimes we fail them. Adrian Darren Bonar, a U.S. Army veteran, is a tragic example. After serving three tours of duty in Iraq, he returned home to North County suffering from PTSD. But due to poor consistency of local treatment services; turning to drugs, he was ultimately murdered. Sadly, his case is not that un usual. VFW statistics from 2019 indicate that the Veteran’s Ad ministration system is tracking more than 64,000 veterans with opioid disorders, and this number has more than doubled since 2002. Wait times for mental health ser vices are delaying badly needed care. In San Diego, one VA clinic stopped accepting new patients, and others have reported wait times of over 25 days.

A slap on the wrist for blatantly committing fraud in collusion to initiate an investigation of the President of the United States. This fraud action was one of many that helped fuel the divide in the country, cost over $32 billion, and further eroded the trust the American people have in our gov ernment and our security agencies. The political climate is getting worse as the leadership in the FBI and political leaders get even more desperate to find something on former President Trump and keep him from running in 2024. What I personally found very important this week, also getting very little coverage in light of all the other news, was the updated guidance last week from the Cen ters for Disease Control and Pre vention and COVID-19 quarantine recommendations and guidelines. The CDC issued updated guid ance stating, in part, that risk for illness from COVID-19 “is con siderably reduced by immunity derived from vaccination, previ ous infection, or both” and that “persons who have had COVID-19 but are not vaccinated have some degree of protection against se vere illness from their previous infection.”TheCDC funded one study indi cating the protection is higher than that from the COVID-19 vaccines and there have been studies from other countries as well that have shown vaccination is effective, but protection drops significantly

A Table Mountain resident shows the water level in her tank before she was forced to purchase water to fill it up, with assistance from the Sacred Heart Women’s Guild. Anza Valley Outlook/Courtesy photo Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER Residents living on Table Mountain have seen their water supplies dwindle and disappear in recent weeks due to issues with the shared well system that feeds water to their tanks. Upset homeowners took to social media to make their displeasure known. William Hancock posted explosive criticism of the problem on Facebook, encouraging others to join him in trying to garner some solution. “I’m using the water in my fire tank because someone shut the water off,” he wrote. “I don’t have a gate and if there is a fire up here CalFire has access to my tank to protect my neighbors.”
Western Water Conservation, the nonprofit organization that controls the water system, indicated that one of four wells had been taken out of the system, resulting in a shortage of water for approximately 30 customers. “I’m at least day six with no water,” one user said. “It could have been longer, but I didn’t notice until six days ago, as I have a huge tank. I called and was told someone blocked access to the well that services our area and the state is involved and it could take a long time to get it resolved and they’re trying to come up with a temporary solution. It didn’t sound very hopeful. It used to always be pretty bad when I moved up to this part of Anza 22 or so years ago, but the last several years have been mostly problem-free.”
Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER Children from the Anza Valley woke up early and dressed their best to attend 2022-2023 classes at the local Hemet Unified School District schools. Principals Alyssa King of Hamilton Elementary and Dr. Jeffrey Franks with Hamilton High School welcomed excited students back to school Tuesday, Aug. 9. “Students at Hamilton are encouraged to establish positive goals, set high standards and to achieve their personal best,” Franks said. “The staff at Hamilton will be here to guide and support each student as new opportunities and challenges present themselves every day.

The much-loved canine mayor of Idyllwild died after suffering a medical emergency that required the assistance of a veterinarian. “Max is in the hospital with a fever of nearly 107,” his Chief of Staff Phyllis Mueller wrote on social media. “They don’t know what’s wrong, he could not get up this morning and had to be carried to the car and into the vet’s office. I have had to sign the papers for immediate medical emergency handling and resuscitation.” Mayor Max, a 9-year-old, good natured and friendly Golden Retriever, had captured the hearts of people in Idyllwild and beyond. His mission was to help make the world a better place by conveying unconditional love and doing as many good deeds for others as possible. He and his deputies are advocates for animal adoption and well-being and they foster goodwill among everyone, no matter the species. He was the second canine Mayor Max of the mountain community, finishing the term of the first Max. Idyllwild is an unincorporated town in Riverside County and has no official mayor or city government. All business is handled at the county level. It is often said that the friendly dogs can accomplish more than their human counterparts and in a kinder fashion.Max leaves behind two deputy mayors, Mikey and Mitzi, his Chiefs of Staff Glenn and Phyllis Mueller and countless fans and friends all over the world. “Max and his team exemplified kindness, opening your arms and paws to all visitors and residents,” the staff of Idyllwild Animal Rescue Friends wrote in a heartfelt letter to the Muellers. “While it’s true that the first Mayor Max was elected through a fundraiser for ARF, your team took the idea to new heights. The first and second mayors, along with the mayoral team, have done more for this mountain than the ARF board ever anticipated. We know this is a difficult time for you, and we are so sorry for your loss. Regardless of what you decide to do, we will cheer you on from the sidelines.” The Muellers have taken to social media to keep the mayor’s friends
According to some homeowners, the system has had its share of water headaches for years. Formally known as the Ramona Water District, the shared wells and the connections that fed a portion of the properties on Table suffered breakdowns and unreliable service.

has one California licensed opera tor and subcontracts many tasks to local businesses. The goal was to rebuild the system, but there have been many hurdles to overcome. “We serve about 80 custom ers on Table Mountain in Anza,” Demartino said in a telephone interview. “We recently lost one of our temporary wells, knocking out water to about 30 customers.” Out of four viable wells, the WWC was down to three. Created in the 1980s, the private shared well system was unlicensed and unregulated, according to WWC director Louis Demartino. He organized the company into a nonprofit corporation with a new name, Western Water Conserva tion. It was granted 501(c)(4) taxexempt status by the IRS in June 2012 as a Not for Profit California Public Benefit Corporation. Ac cording to Dimartino, the company interests to join our club,” Drifters Co-Chairman Wayne Powell, who exhibited his 1968 Plymouth Bar racuda, said. All drivers who entered vehicles in the show received goody bags and a tee shirt commemorating theTheevent.Drifters Car Club has a long history in Southern Califor nia. According to their website, the late Pat Vesey, former Win chester resident, Ford-lover and co-founder of the Temecula Rod Run and founder of the Murrieta Rod Run, created the Drifters of Southern California in the early 1990s. Back then, it was mostly a coffee shop group with members sharing car tips and recommenda tions for good mechanics. Vesey’s dream was to help youth who face challenges but learn to overcome. Today, the club has grown to over 500 members. They engage with many communities in Southern California, particularly the cities of Temecula and Murrieta. Exhibitors, fans and Cahuilla staff said they are looking forward to the second annual Drifters Car Show next year.

“There has been quite a bit of action behind the scenes be tween myself, other community members, Louis, Environmental Health, the State Water Board and various state and county entities for emergency water deliveries. Basically we are contacting any one and everyone we can get our hands on,” she said. According to Real Vee, the state is working with Dimartino for this emergency project. He confirmed this, saying, “The State Water Board is providing assistance.”
Western Water Conservation’s website says its goal is to help rescue and restore small private systems in disadvantaged areas by using grant funds available in the nonprofit sector to accomplish this. Additionally, WWC will assume responsibility for the operation of the water system, providing expe rience and accountability for the operation of a safe and sustainable water system. Many residents disagree, claim ing that for years the system has been in decay and this is the last straw for them. “It is ridiculous and needs atten tion,” one homeowner said. “I’ve called and or emailed the Health Department, the owner of the company, Gavin Newsom, Chuck Washington and Raul Ruiz. Can you imagine having a child start their first week of school like this? No ability to shower or do laun dry? My family is on alternating shower days. There’s never been enough water and wells to service everyone.” Dimartino has arranged to have 5,000 gallons of water delivered on a schedule to fill a high point tank, feeding the 30 residents affected by the deletion of the fourth well. Deliveries are slated to begin this week. This should also provide relief to homeowners as construc tion and repairs take place in the coming months. Western Water Conservation is looking at several candidates to add wells into the system. Drinking water distribution will continue every weekend, with emergency deliveries of drinking water available by calling 951970-7809. Jodi Trevit, an elderly grand mother, has been alerting custom ers to water deliveries occurring at the Anza Electric Coopera tive parking lot most weekends. Known by many, she has a strong knowledge of the water system, and people mistakenly think she can solve the issues at hand. She has been unable to do so, and her family is asking people to kindly discontinue contacting her. “Most of us have large tanks and Jodi knows the system well enough that she can turn off sec tions for a day or two to get water to others,” one well-meaning resident said. “She rotates like that to make sure we all have water. Sadly, it’s Jodi that people contact. But those like me that have been up here forever always called her not knowing any difference, as she was our first point of contact.”
Residents are advised to instead call Demartino with any concerns or problems they may have at 951970-7809.“Iknow we are emotionally charged and extremely frustrated regarding the emergency, but I ask that you please conduct yourselves in a professional manner,” Real Vee said. “The water company has no rights to the well that had been providing water to our section and they have no legal recourse to use it. Please understand they are acting as quickly as they can.” With the California State Wa ter Resources Control Board, Riverside County and other state departments coming in to assist, it is hoped that the water problems plaguing Western Water Conserva tion customers will soon be a thing of the past. “This is getting worked on,” Tara Butchart said. “I just called to get my tank filled and he’s coming tonight, but he’s also working with the water company and he and they will be getting tanks filled as soon as they connect some pipes back up to the tank. So they’re not just sitting around doing nothing which is what it felt like. I knew they weren’t because the county had told me they were working with them. It just feels like forever when you’re without water. It’s a necessity.”Formore information about Western Water Conservation, westernwaterconservation.org.

Zachary Elliott SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS I believe that prayer is essential to life. It’s not only crucial to your physical and spiritual health but also for your eternity. That’s why who you pray to makes all the dif ference in the world. The Catholic church teaches people to ask Mary and the saints to pray for them, and millions of people end up asking priests for di rect help, mercy and salvation. This approach has zero biblical backing. In the words of the famous Catholic prayer Memorare, people pray directly to Mary by praying; “Remember, most loving Virgin Mary, never was it heard that anyone who turned to you for help was left unaided… I run to your protection for you are my mother.” We see it again in the Catholic prayer “Hail, Holy Queen” when it says, “Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To you we cry, the children of Eve; to you we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this land of exile. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us; lead us home at last,” from ”A Book of Prayers,” published in 1982 by International Committee on English in the Lit urgyAlthoughInc. these prayers are said by millions of well-intentioned people looking for divine inter vention, we must ask: Are these prayers beneficial and biblically correct?Evenif you’re reading this col umn as a Catholic, wouldn’t you want to know if your prayers are godly and biblical? I think I would. Here are three reasons we pray to God, not Mary or the saints. Jesus is the only way to God. Trying to get favor or access to God through anyone but Jesus has no biblical basis. Jesus made it per up-to-date. “We are deeply grieving. As I kissed Max goodbye, I told him to come to the house and stay with us there spiritually. We were with Max when he went to Heaven and it was peaceful. During the operation, it was clear Max could not survive. I’m so sorry to tell you this,” Muel ler said. According to the Muellers, Mayor Max the First worked in the public doing events right up to the day be fore he died. Mayor Max the Second did the same thing with his events. They believe he had a wonderful life because they knew he loved going to work meeting with Idyllwild visitors.Meanwhile, Deputy Mayors Mikey and Mitzi will be the new coMayors of Idyllwild on an interim basis while the Muellers begin the search for Mayor Max the Third. Though still grieving, they know they have a mission to accomplish. “We feel very excited about it and we feel like Mayor Max is excited about it too. We have the feeling that he is with us and it’s very strong. Both my husband and I feel this way, so we are happy about this,” Phyllis said. Why we pray to God, not Mary or the saints
with open arms to welcome students and families. The elementary school featured a red carpet for the incom ing children to march down. “We know this year will be filled with learning experiences and en riching activities,” King said. “We are so excited to welcome students in person to campus. I am grateful to be given the opportunity to be your principal for the second year and continue to learn about the community.” Social media was flooded with back-to-school photos posted by proud family members. The excitement of returning to school to meet new friends and even new teachers may be a child hood highlight. The Anza Hamil ton schools have been energized to create and foster a great start to a successful new school year. Diane Sieker can be reached by email at dsieker@reedermedia. com.
The gentle canine deputies have resumed the downtown visits. Ap parently, one way they are getting through Mayor Max’s passing is by doing a tremendous amount of overeating. Whereas their Chief of Staff had always said not to bring treats because she doesn’t want them to gain weight, but that restriction is now gone for this time period be tween now and the arrival of Mayor Max the Third. Cheance Adair has organized a fundraiser on behalf of Phyllis Mueller to assist with costs in curred by Mayor Max’s veterinary visit. To donate, click https://gofund. me/4a218b47.

fectly clear that there is only one way to the Father when he said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me,” in John 14:6. He is the only way to access the father. Jesus is the only mediator between God and us. 1 Timothy 2:5-6 teaches “There is one God and one mediator be tween God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people.” It means that Jesus is the only representation we have before God. He’s the only one who can grant us forgiveness and peace with the father and reconcile us to him through his finished work on the cross. The Bible said, “All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation,” in 2 Corinthians 5:18-19. Jesus is alive. Throughout scripture, God strictly forbids praying to the dead. See Leviticus 20:27 and Deuter onomy 18:10–13 for examples. All of the priests, saints and Mary are dead. But Jesus is alive and well. As Hebrews 7:23-25 so brilliant ly points out when it says, “Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, be cause he always lives to intercede for them.” Did you catch that? No one else could remain in office because they died. But since Jesus is alive, he alone can save, and we can ap proach him boldly in our prayers. “Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest wh o is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are – yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need,” in Hebrews 4:14-16.

The December ‘63 tribute to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons brought back many romantic memories from the crowd Saturday, Aug. 6, at Santa Rosa Plateau Nature Education Foundation’s Summer Concert Service. The quartet, with members Alex Bartock, Micheal Schaubel, Sam Holder and Brain Carlucci, taking turns singing some of Frankie Valli’s hit tunes, including “Sherry” and “What a Night.” A favorite of the older crowd and of the very young, everyone danced and swayed to the music, such as “Rag Doll” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You.” The latter brought many couples together on the concert dance floor before the Visitor’s Center’s new Pavilion stage. An art show preceded the concert benefiting the foundation. The Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve remains closed aside from a few hiking trails while the reserve’s land with its many rare and endangered trees, grasses and flowers recover from the Tenaja Fire. It will reopen later in the year. The December ‘63, a tribute to Frankie Valli and the Four Season, concluded the year’s SRPNEF Summer Concert Series, which raises funds for the nonprofit foundation’s mission to bring elementary students to the plateau to learn about nature and how to care for it in the future and high school students winning scholarships to further their education in the natural sciences and the environment. A highlight of the evening for the concert guests and SRPNEF was honoring the foundation’s executive director, Ginger Greaves, for her many years of service to the foundation and for furthering nature education for local children. She was presented a bouquet of flowers from the board of directors.The Cowboy Jubilee at the Weatherly Ranch in La Cresta will celebrate county music with the Highwaymen, a ranch barbecue and classic cars Saturday, Sept. 24, followed by the Rooted in Nature Brew Festival in Wildomar in October.

I love movies like “Bullet Train.” Get a bunch of thieves, assassins and criminal types in compact space and watch them careen and bounce off each other like bumper cars for two hours. It helps that I also like trains. Taking a train out of Penn Station in New York City is my favorite way to travel. And the Shinkansen “bullet” train in Japan, with a maximum operating speed of 320 kilometers per hour, is definitely on my bucket list. If I can ever work the bullet train, a pro wrestling show at Budokan Hall, and a teriyaki burger from a Japanese McDonald’s into a single day… That’ll be a good day. I didn’t have quite that good a day putting in eight hours at work and going to see “Bullet Train,” but it wasBradfine.Pitt stars as Ladybug, a former assassin now trying to make it as a non-violent crimi nal. He’s tasked with stealing a briefcase from a luggage compart ment, but of course it can’t be that simple. Ladybug has both the best and worst luck of any person on the planet. For example, he eas ily finds the unattended briefcase among a massive stack of luggage. But at the very next stop, he’s ac costed by The Wolf, played by Bad Bunny, a former high-ranking car tel member who blames Ladybug for the death of his wife. Ladybug faces difficulties at every subse quent stop, never able to complete the task of simply exiting the train. The briefcase initially belongs to bickering British twins Lemon, played by Bryan Tyree Henry, and Tangerine, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Lemon is ob sessed with Thomas the Tank Engine, much to the frustration of Tangerine, who thinks it’s bad for their image that his brother cares so deeply about a children’s show. The two are tasked with delivering both the briefcase and The Son, played by Logan Lerman, to Rus sian mob boss White Death. They lose the briefcase before the first stop, and The Son not long after. They’re going to have to con their way out of trouble, which Lemon thinks he can do by identifying the Diesel, or most evil person on the train. Also in the mix are The Prince, played by Joey King, and The Fa ther, played by Andrew Koji, who is no relation to The Prince or The Son, though he is the son of former Yakuza The Elder, played by Hi royuki Sanada. Although she looks young and innocent, The Prince is secretly conniving and dangerous. She has an assassin standing over The Father’s bedridden son –again, not to be confused with The Son – and will effectively give the order to kill if she doesn’t check in with her man every 10 minutes. To save his son, The Father will have to help rig the briefcase with explosives and booby-trap a gun so that it backfires on White Death when he inevitably fires it. But to rig the briefcase, he and The Prince first have to steal it from Ladybug, who stole it from Lemon and Tan gerine, who want it back. Oh, and there’s an incredibly poisonous snake loose on the train. Repeat: there’s a snake on the train. The fight scenes, snappy dia logue and laughs are plentiful in “Bullet Train,” which aspires to be like something out of Guy Ritchie or Quentin Tarantino. It’s on track – pun intended – to be on the level of those films until the third act, where it runs out of steam, pun less intended, with a series of long exposition dumps that will make you wish the film would hurry up and get to the end of the line – pun definitely intended – already. Still this is a fun movie that should satisfy both action and comedy fans. I guess what I’m saying is a mildly enthusiastic “All Aboard!” Grade: “BulletB-Train” is rated R for strong and bloody violence, perva sive language and brief sexuality. Its running time is 126 minutes. Contact Bob Garver at rrg251@ nyu.edu.

For the second time at Hun tington Beach, the local skate community witnessed the Vans Showdown, a unique “pointless” street skating contest, far removed from traditional skate formats. Aiming to promote the fun and cul tural side of skateboarding, while displaying the best skaters in the world, it was Hayley Wilson and Jhancarlos Gonzalez who came out on top.
Two-time WSL Longboard Tour champion and reigning Vans Duct Tape Invitational winner Kelis Kaleopa’a (HAW) and three-time World Champion Taylor Jensen (USA) topped the podium at the second of three stops for WSL Longboard Tour. Kaleopa’a de feated three-time WSL Longboard Champion Honolua Blomfield in a head-to-head Hawaiian Final. Kaniela Stewart, also representing Hawaii, was runner-up to Jensen in the men’s competition. Finally, the first-ever Vans BMX Waffle Cup street competition held on American soil concluded its Surf, Skate, BMX fans flock to Vans U.S. Open World’s largest action sports festival concludes in surf city U.S.A.
The 2022 Vans U.S. Open of Surfing ended in Huntington Beach last week after nine days of world-class surfing, skate boarding and BMX competitions. Celebrating the quintessential Southern California beach culture, the world’s largest action sports festival welcomed large crowds who flocked to the pier to cheer on their favorite surfers and filled the Vans Skatepark across the sand. Anchoring the nine-day festival were the World Surf League’s Challenger Series, Vans Duct Tape Invitational and the Vans Show down. The event footprint spanned across 13 acres on the south side of the Huntington Beach Pier from July 30 through Aug. 7. The theme of this year’s Vans U.S. Open of Surfing focused on the importance of environmental responsibility with eco-conscious ness integrated into the activities, showcasing the connection of sustainability with surf culture and surf products. Following their massive final days of competition, Hawaiians Bettylou Sakura Johnson and ABC’s “Ultimate Surfer” cham pion Ezekiel Lau, were crowned victors of the World Surf League Challenger Series. Sakura Johnson and Lau took critical wins at the halfway mark of the Challenger Series season in their mission to rejoin the Championship Tour. Australia’s Macy Callaghan and Brazil’s Joao Chianca came in second.“I’m so stoked, I’ve always wanted to win the U.S. Open, it’s been an event I’ve watched since I was a young kid,” Lau said. “Andy Irons won a few years back, he was my role model, and this is for him and Sunny and all the Hawaiians. When Bettylou won her final heat I was like, it is up to me now, I gotta put this away.” “It’s been a long week here at Huntington, but I have all the support and everything I need; I’m healthy, I’ve been training for this, I’m super fortunate to take the win,” Sakura Johnson said. “It gives me a ton of confidence (winning the event). This is one of the biggest events we have on the Challenger Series, everyone is here watching. I have always wanted to win a comp out here and I’m super stoked I was able to do it today.”

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Rickie Fowler entered the FedEx Cup Playoffs for the first time in two years, and he did so this year with a new caddie on his bag. One of the Tour’s longest player-caddie partnerships has ended after Fowler, a Murrieta native, and longtime caddie, Joe Skovron, of Temecula, parted ways last week. Fowler and Skovron were one of the most recognizable player-caddie combos of the past decade-plus. Skovron caddied for Fowler since he turned pro in 2009 and was on the bag for all five of his PGA Tour wins, including Fowler’s biggest ca reer victory at the 2015 Players Championship.Unfortunately, Fowler has struggled of late, missing the FedEx Cup Playoffs for the first time last season and earning the final spot in this week’s FedEx St. Jude Championship as No. 125 in the FedExCup standings. It was last Friday afternoon, after Fowler had missed the cut at the Wyndham Championship, the final event of the regular season, that the two decided to pause their professional relationship. “I told Joe I wasn’t really go ing to go into details on who mentioned the decision or who made the decision or anything like that,” Fowler told the media. “We have always been a team, we always will be, he’s like a big brother to me. Friendship and all that comes first. No hard feel ings or anything like that, I just thought it was maybe the best option for the current time, but by no means does this mean we’re not gonna rekindle the flame in the future or anything like that, but I know it’s been tough on both of us.” Fowler and Skovron go way back. They both grew up locally, and Skovron’s parents, Joe and Valarie, ran the Valley Junior Golf Association where Fowler played some of his first tourna ments. They climbed to as high as No. 4 in the world together, but Fowler has since dropped to 167th, his worst ranking since early 2010. Fowler qualified for just one major in 2022, tying for 23rd at the PGA Championship. He hasn’t played a Masters or U.S. Open since 2020. “I’ve known Joe since I was 2 or 3,” Fowler said. “It is much more than a business thing for me. Like I said, he is like a big brother, we just thought it was potentially the best option for right now.” In 13 years, there has been only one other week, Fowler’s rookie year, when he had someone else on the bag. It was one of the as sistants from Oklahoma State, Donnie Darr, who caddied for Fowler at the Memorial. Fowler turned pro in 2009, finishing T2 in his second Tour start as a pro. He earned his card at Q-School later that year and has been on Tour ever since. He was the 2010 Rookie of the Year and made the first of his four Ryder Cup ap pearances that year. He also has played in three Presidents Cups. In addition to his five PGA Tour wins, Fowler has three international wins: the 2011 Ko rean Open, 2015 Scottish Open and 2016 Abu Dhabi Champion ship. Fowler has not won on the Tour since the 2019 WM Phoenix Open, however and his slide in the world ranking has taken him all the way to No. 167. He earned half his points in a T3 finish at The CJ Cup at Summit, his lone top-10 of the season, had only two additional top-25s and missed the cut in nine of 21 starts this season, including the Wyndham Championship. The Murrieta pro only finished at No. 125 when a couple of players had a tough final round, and because of nine LIV Golf players who didn’t count in the standings. Fowler says he has no longterm plans for a replacement at this point. Ben Schomin, Cobra’s Tour operations manager, will fill in and carry the bag at this week’s FedEx St. Jude Championship. Schomin also was a fill-in cad die for Bryson DeChambeau at the 2021 Rocket Mortgage Classic after DeChambeau and Tim Tucker split before the first round.“He’s spent a lot of time, be tween Bryson and I, on testing and whatnot,” Fowler said of Schomin. “It was an easy call for me, at least for this week. We are close, good friends, and we will have some fun out there, that’s for sure.” This is the second straight week with a high-profile caddie change, as Will Zalatoris parted ways with caddie Ryan Goble last week. Zalatoris now has Joel Stock, former caddie for Ben Crane and Cameron Tringale, this week. Stock, who will debut on Zalatoris’ bag at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, was on the bag for Ben Crane’s 2016 victory

Murrieta’s Rickie Fowler parts ways with longtime PGA caddie, Temecula’s Joe Skovron at TPC “SometimesSouthwind.alittle tweak here or there is a good thing, and that’s ultimately what we kind of came up with,” Fowler said. “This could be a good thing.” After opening with a 65 this week at TPC Southwind, in his first round since parting ways with Skovron, he needed at least a solo 11th for a chance to ad vance to the second postseason event, the BMW Championship. And for 17 holes this past Satur day at TPC Southwind, Fowler was giving himself a shot, 3 un der on the day and just a couple of strokes out of position at 7 under for the tournament. Then the 18th hole happened. He carded a quintuple-bogey ‘9’ on the par-4 finishing hole to end up with a third-round, 2-over 72, which knocked him outside the top 50 at 2 under, well back of the finish he’d need to keep his season going. He finished the tournament +1 over par and tied for 64th place, which will pretty much take him out of contention for the FedEx Cup playoffs, and with one final event to go, the mishap will surely earmark an end to a season he soon hopes to forget.

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR Former Vista Murrieta baseball standout and Utah Valley University catcher Drew Sims signed a professional contract last week with the Glacier Range Riders of the Pioneer League. The Range Riders are located in Kalispell, Montana and are a Major League Baseball partner league with teams in Colorado, Idaho, Montana and Utah. The Pioneer League rosters have 25 players with under three years of professional baseball experience. Sims started for five years at catcher for UVU and leaves with the record for runners caught stealing with 62, a record that was broken on Senior Day this year. Sims hit .210 on the year with two home runs, nine RBIs and six doubles. A solid backstop for the Wolverines, Sims had a career fielding percentage of .980 and in 2021 had a career-high .993 fielding percentage. Head Coach Eddie Smith said, “We are so excited for Drew Sims to get this opportunity in professional baseball. He has been a stalwart for our program at the catching position and became the Derryl Trujillo SPORTS WRITER Saturday marked the official opening day for the 2022 CIF-SS girls’ volleyball season, but a majority of teams will start the campaign this week and here are some things to look at over the course of the coming season. Can Vista Murrieta make it four in a row in the Southwestern League?Yearin and year out the Southwestern League produces arguably some of the area’s best volleyball and behind BYU commit Claire Little, the Lady Broncos have come out on top three years in a row. They have, however, not completed the circuit unscathed as they took a league loss in each of those championship campaigns. Santa Ana Mater Dei coach Dan O’Dell says Little will be the best player in the Southern Section this season. For the chasers (Chaparral, Murrieta Valley, Temecula Valley and Great Oak) the question is, can one of them separate themselves and stay within shouting distance if and when they get that first loss? At Murrieta Mesa, Rams coach Patrick Villanueva, also serving as an assistant at Chaffey College, is looking to guide the Rams into the thick of that race in his second year. Players to watch: Zoe Piche and Emerson Macias. Villanueva remarked, “We have a young team this year and it will be exciting to see their growth both this year and in the years ahead.” At Chaparral, the Lady Pumas went 6-1 at Queens Court last weekend, winning two pools before falling in a first-round gold division bracket play match. Players to watch: Bella Rittenberg, senior opposite who has committed to Penn State; Sara Garcia, junior middle blocker; and Mauri Rayford, junior middle blocker. Pumas coach Gale Johnson said via text, “We have experienced, explosive hitters. Our setters are learning the system faster than expected and we’ll get better as the year progresses. This team really works well together.” At Great Oak, the Hannah Schaffer era got off to a great start last weekend as her Lady Wolfpack team took home gold division championship honors at Citrus Valley’s Blackhawk Classic. In pool play they defeated Bonita, Arrowhead Christian and the host Blackhawks. In bracket play, they recorded wins against Hemet and Bonita again. Earning awards were Ava Smith, All-Tournament selection and Michaela Augustine, AllTournament selection and Most Outstanding Player. By direct message Schaffer remarked, “These girls outdid themselves today and it was absolutely amazing to watch. They were down 22-18 against Bonita in set two and rallied to get it done in a sweep.”

The Murrieta driver finished fifth Saturday, Aug. 6, to end the night with 315 position points. He overtook Ramona driver Marci McKown, whose tenth-place finish gave her 312 points for the year. Menifee’s Ken McWilliams, who finished seventh, is third in the standings with 311 points. “Just pretty stoked about it. We had a pretty good night of racing,” FingerFingersaid.joined his uncle, Brian Fitzgibbons of Ramona, as a season points standings leader at Barona. Fitzgibbons drives in the Street Stocks class. Fitzgibbons began his racing career at Cajon Speedway in 2002 when Finger was less than a year old. Cajon Speedway closed in 2004, when Finger was three. “I don’t have any memories at all,” he said. Finger and his parents, Norm and Jenny, lived in El Cajon near Cajon Speedway until moving to Murrieta 14 years ago. Finger is a 2020 Vista Murrieta High School graduate.AfterCajon Speedway, which was a 3/8-mile asphalt oval closed, Fitzgibbons raced at the Irwindale and Orange Show asphalt tracks before switching to dirt. Five years ago Finger obtained his driver’s license and would occasionally be part of his uncle’s pit crew. In March 2021, Finger’s father and uncle proposed that Finger begin his racing career. They obtained a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt from Bill Grosskreuze, a Cocopah Speedway (east of Yuma) driver. “We kind of pulled the trigger, bought the car,” Finger said. The Cobalt was purchased in March 2021. Finger first raced in July 2021.

It is the third straight year a Southwestern League team has won the Blackhawk classic following Chaparral’s back-to-back wins in 2019 and 2021. Players to watch are Junior middle blocker Ava Smith, senior setter Michaela Augustine and junior libero Zayda Fuertes. At Murrieta Valley, Lady Nighthawks coach Ann Romero Parks remarked, “We’ve got a good mix of young and old on the roster who are very scrappy. Like always, it should be an exciting year in the Southwestern League.”
Barona Speedway heat races are eight laps on the quarter-mile dirt oval. Finger began the first Sport Compact heat on the outside of the second row. He was third for most of the race before being passed by Yuma’s Hudson Morris on the final turn. “When there’s a lot more moisture on the track my car seems to not like it,” Finger said. “When the track dries up, that’s when my car performs a lot better.” David Stites of Canyon Lake was seventh in that heat race while Hemet’s Andrew Schmitz finished eighth. McWilliams was in the second heat race and finished sixth. Finger began the 20-lap main event on the outside of the third row with McKown starting on the inside of the fourth row and McWilliams taking the original green flag on the outside of the fourth row. “I kind of fell off the pace, but I was able to hang on for fourth,” FingerStayingsaid.back was part of Finger’s long-term strategy. “Some of the guys that were battling up there were getting a little dicey, and I needed to stay out of trouble to keep the car in one piece,” he said. He actually moved into third place before a flat tire hindered his handling. “I didn’t even know I had a left rear tire flat until I finished the race,” Finger said. Finger guesses that he had driven with the flat tire from about the 12th lap. Fifth place was still high enough for Finger to take over the season points lead. “Just staying strong and staying consistent,” he said. Stites finished ninth. Schmitz was unable to finish the race but was given 13th place. Joe Naiman can be reached by email at jnaiman@reedermedia. com. Valley News/Joe Naiman photo
Players to watch are Mya Jackson, senior right side who is a Boise State commit on the beach; Grace Datil, senior setter; and Miley Thurstrom, sophomore hitter. Temecula Valley will be looking to better their last season thirdplace finish in the Southwestern League as head coach Neemias Costa remarked, “We have six strong returners this season (3 sophomores and 3 seniors). If we can get the seniors to lead and the sophomores to support them, we’ll have a strong chance to finish in the top three and earn an automatic bid, bettering what we did last year.” Players to watch are Aubrey Beaver, senior OH and Cal State Fullerton commit, Ally Dale, senior OH; and Mackenzie Brack, senior setter. Can Paloma Valley make it four titles in a row between Sunbelt League/Ivy League play? “We have a pretty tough nonleague schedule to prepare us for Ivy League play,” Coach Stephen Kaas said on the upcoming run for another title. “Our ball control and defense have been better than they have been in a while. We are a hard-working group that plays well together, and I can’t wait to get the yearLadystarted.”Wildcat players to watch: Alexa Rosales-First team All-Ivy League a year ago, Christianna Hawkins-returning middle blocker, Ashley Stoyer-setter. This league however is full of questions…AtHemet, how will the Bulldogs respond to a third coach this season in the school’s effort to find a replacement for Lauren Valdez, who resigned in the offseason after two playoff appearances including a CIF-SS quarterfinal in 2019? At Heritage, how will the Patriots replace the prolific offense of Cal State LA signee Jameson Sanders who recorded 394 kills a season ago and Head Coach Tiffany Johnstone? At Elsinore, Rene Horton graduated 10 seniors from last year’s squad so the big question for Tigers fans is how quickly will the fresh faces jell together? Horton says, “With so many new faces on the court I’m looking forward to watching players grow into new roles and seeing our team learn to fight together.” Elsinore players to watch: Kyleigh Moore (11) OH, Havannah Vogel (11) MB/RS, Daj Williams (12) OH. How about other local schools? Can Dana Ortiz take Linfield Christian to a fourth straight postseason appearance after the graduation of Breanna Mitchell, who is now at CSUN, in a much smaller Ambassador League field? Can Coach Donald Reyes and Temecula Prep continue an impressive two-year run which has seen the Patriots go to a CIF-SS semifinal and quarterfinal after struggling so mightily in the middle of the decade? Will Rancho Christian continue their winning ways in the Raincross Conference? The Eagles volleyball program, under the direction of first-year head coach Luci Villafana (Calvary Murrieta/ Cornerstone Chr/MSJC), will play in the Sunbelt League this season. So many questions to be answered, but luckily, answers will produce themselves in the next few weeks as preseason play has already begun.

City News Services SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS Federal authorities said that fen tanyl trafficking and drug seizures are on the rise in the San Diego region, which they described as “an epicenter” of fentanyl traffick ing into the United States. Law enforcement in San Diego and Imperial counties seized 5,091 pounds of fentanyl from October 2021 to June 2022, which is around 60% of all fentanyl that has been seized at ports of entry across the nation during that same time span, according to statistics released by Border Patrol officials and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. “A decade ago, we didn’t even know about fentanyl, and now it’s a national crisis,” U.S. Attor ney Randy Grossman said. “The amount of fentanyl we are seizing at the border is staggering. The number of fentanyl seizures and fentanyl-related deaths in our dis trict are unprecedented.” According to the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Of fice, fentanyl-related deaths have increased steadily, from 33 in 2016 to at least 817 last year. Fentanyl seizures in San Diego are up from around 1,600 pounds in the 2019 fiscal year to 6,767 last year, ac cording to CBP statistics. With the increase in the drug’s presence locally, an uptick in traf ficking prosecutions has naturally coincided. The local U.S. Attor ney’s Office said there has been around a 1,600% increase in the number of people charged with fentanyl-related crimes over the last five years, with several pros ecutions of those who distribute fentanyl which results in some one’s death, a crime that carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years in prison. Along with prosecutions of al leged traffickers, the office said an outreach campaign focused on education and prevention has been established to provide the public with information regarding the drug’s“Preventiondangers.is key to stopping the death toll,” Grossman said. “Parents need to talk with their kids about fentanyl. A tiny amount will kill, and people are overdosing by accident, with many unaware that they are even taking fentanyl. No drug is safe in this era. Do not experiment with any illicit drug, because it might contain fentanyl. And it just might be the last thing you do.”

Leung signed the proclamation Monday, Aug. 8. The county board of supervisors has seven days to ratify the action. Both state and federal health officials, as well as a handful of counties and cities in California, have proclaimed mon keypox a public health emergency. “We have seen the devastating physical effects of monkeypox on those who have been infected, as well as the emotional toll on partners, family and loved ones,” Leung said. “Now is the time for public health, our community partners and local leadership to reinforce our commitment to work together to slow and eventually stop the spread of this virus.”

Hundreds of residents near Perris were evacuated Friday, Aug. 12, and a major freeway was closed as fire officials monitored a rail car that began leaking a haz ardous chemical for unknown rea sons and which could potentially explode if the material overheated.
Authorities said the situation could extend for as many as three days due to the hazardous nature of the styrene chemical in the damaged rail car. The spill at Harvill and Ole ander avenues was first reported around 7:30 p.m. Thursday and led to the closure of the Interstate 215, south of Van Buren and north of Ramona Expressway, accord ing to the Riverside County Fire Department. Harvill Avenue was closed, and evacuations were ordered in an area north of Markham Street, east of Donna Lane, south of Nandina Avenue and west of Patterson Avenue, the fire department said. Authorities said roughly 170 residences and businesses were evacuated within a roughly halfmile radius of the leaking rail car. “This could resolve itself in two days, but it could get worse before it gets better,” Cal Fire Division Chief John Crater said at a news conference Friday morning. “They’ve also said due to the heat building in the car, that builds pressure and it could have a release, meaning some sort of vio lent explosion. That’s why we’re taking an abundance of caution withTemperaturesthis.” reached nearly triple-digits in the Perris area Friday. On the flip side, if the rail car begins to cool, it will mitigate the explosion risk; however, that process could take days. “Once we start seeing that that rail car is actually cooling, what that tells us is the chemical reac tion that’s happening in that car is actually now starting to solidify, which is the trend we want to see happening,” county Fire Depart ment Capt. Oscar Torres said. An evacuation center for those affected by the spill was opened at Pinacate Middle School, 1990 S. A St., in OfficialsPerris.said the rail car con tains roughly 188,000 pounds of styrene, a chemical used to make rubber, latex and commercial foam products. Due to the unstable nature of the chemical, authorities are unable to get near the car, and they’ve been using drones to get closer looks. Val Verde Unified School Dis trict Police Department chose to shut down and evacuate Mead Valley Elementary School due to the incident, officials said in a news“Thisrelease.decision was made out of an abundance of safety and cau tion for the staff and students of Mead Valley Elementary School due to the proximity of the inci dent,” District officials said in the release.Metrolink service on the 91/ Perris Valley line was also inter rupted through the area, with the tracks closed between the PerrisDowntown and Moreno Valley/ March Field stations.

Feds say San Diego region ‘epicenter’ of fentanyl trafficking into U.S.
Law enforcement agencies are also attempting to spread aware ness of the potential criminal con sequences of trafficking fentanyl. Posters will be hung at the San Ysidro and Otay Mesa ports of entry warning of the steep prison time one could face if fentanyl smuggling and/or distribution leads to fatal overdoses. Anne Maricich, acting director of Field Operations for CBP’s San Diego Field Office, said, “U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in the San Diego Field Office have the arduous task of sifting through 150,000 north bound travelers every day to find those conducting illegal activity, including narcotics smuggling. Drug trafficking organizations will use anyone they can to help them with their dangerous and il legal activities, including regular border crossers as well as teens, in the hopes that they won’t arouse suspicion.”

Officials said they hoped the proclamation will show the com munity that public health views monkeypox as a threat to all county residents. Leung said the move could help as local officials lobby for additional vaccines, which have been in limited supply. Monkeypox spreads primarily through direct contact with infec tious sores, scabs, or body fluids, including during sex, as well as activities like kissing, hugging, massaging and cuddling. Monkey pox can spread through touching materials used by a person with monkeypox that haven’t been cleaned, such as clothing and bed ding. It can also spread by respira tory secretions during prolonged, close, face-to-face contact. Vac cination helps to protect against monkeypox when given before or shortly after an exposure. At this time, the California Department of Public Health has allocated a lim ited number of JYNNEOS vaccine doses to Riverside County. JYN NEOS is licensed for adults 18 years and over. It is administered as a two dose injection series in the upper arm at least four weeks apart.Riverside County is also work ing with community partners to provide Tecovirimat for infected patients who are at higher risk of severe disease from monkeypox. At this time, most patients have not required TPOXX and symptoms have resolved on their own with symptom management strategies. There are number of ways to prevent the spread of monkeypox, including always talking to sexual partners about any recent illnesses and being aware of new or unex plained sores or rashes on their body or a partner’s body, including on the genitals and anus; avoiding close contact, including sex, with people with symptoms like sores or rashes and practicing good hand hygiene. Also, use appropriate per sonal protective equipment, like a mask, gown, and gloves, when caring for others with symptoms, and avoid contact with infected materials contaminated with the virus. People who become infected should isolate until their symptoms are improving or have gone away completely. Rashes should always be well covered until completely healed.Toread the proclamation, https://rivcoca.com/sites/default/visit Emergency%20Declaration.pdffiles/Monkeypox%20PH%20

Global shipping problems that have driven up the price of food and goods may continue to wreak havoc for much longer than an ticipated with no relief in sight, according to logistics giant EV Cargo.EVCargo is one of the largest providers of transport, logistics and freight forwarding services across the world and operates in 150 countries, carrying $60 billion of merchandise a year, ac cording to its official website. EV Cargo is the result of a merg er between six major logistics companies with operations across the UK: Adjuno, Allport Cargo Services, CM Downton, Jigsaw, NFT and Palletforce. Heath Zarin, founder and CEO of the London-headquartered company, told the Independent that the problems that have plagued the shipping industry and impacted prices, such as higher fuel prices and continued COVID-19 lock downs in China, will likely take years to fully resolve. “It’s going to take a period of years to stabilize and get back to normal,” Zarin said. “It’s very serious overall and another reason why inflation and higher prices are likely to be with us for longer than anybody would like.” He added, “There will be ups and downs but there won’t be a massive form of relief from el evated prices.” The Consumer Price Index rose by 9.4% year-over-year in June in the UK, where E V Cargo is based. In the United States, the CPI showed that inflation was at 8.5% in July 2022, down from 9.1% in June.However, a new poll by Ras mussen Reports published Aug. 9 showed that inflation is crippling American households, with 89% of the 1,000 U.S. adults surveyed saying they’re paying more for groceries now than they were a year ago, while 61% anticipate the amount they spend on groceries to be even higher a year from now.
Trump also wrote that former President Obama “kept 33 million pages of documents, much of them classified. How many of them per tained to nuclear? Word is, lots!”
Shipping problems will persist for years, fueling cost-of-living crisis, warns logistics giant Report claims supercharged IRS will collect $20 billion more from Americans making less than $400,000 under Inflation Reduction Act will bring in around $204 billion in new revenues, including from enforcement. Despite Yellen’s and Rettig’s insistence that audit rates wouldn’t jump for those making under $400,000, Rachel Greszler, senior research fellow at the Grover M. Hermann Center, wrote in an op-ed for the Heritage Foundation that this is likely not the case. “Despite the Biden administra tion’s claims, it’s almost certain that households making less than $400,000 a year would face in creased audits under Democrats’ bill,” Greszler wrote. “And despite estimates from official congressional scorekeepers that the Schumer-Manchin-Biden tax increase indeed would raise taxes on those Americans, the administration has doubled down on the claim,” she added. Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Tex as) said on the House floor that the way Democrats can manage to raise $200 billion in new tax revenues is “with thousands of new agents targeting what I would call Walmart shoppers.” “They’re real hard working American families. They are my constituents, they are my neigh bors in my district. They’re living paycheck to paycheck, struggling with inflation and high gas prices,” Brady“Theysaid.will be hit with over 700,000 new audits thanks to a skyrocketing surge in IRS agents,” he added. “Higher taxes, harassing IRS au dits on our Walmart shoppers, no relief from inflation, all as America battles a recession,” Brady said.

The IRS chief, too, has insisted that the tax agency would “ab solutely not” be increasing audit scrutiny on small businesses or middle-income Americans relative to “recent years,” according to a letter to members of the Senate Aug. 4. More audits ‘almost certain’ A previous CBO analysis in dicated that, under basically the same funding plan as is featured in the Inflation Reduction Act, audit rates would be restored to levels around 10 years ago and that audit rates would rise “for all taxpayers,” though ones with higher incomes would face the biggest increase. IRS audit rates have fallen sharply over the past decade, with the Government Accountability Office saying in a report that rates in 2019 were about one-third of those in 2010 for all income groups, dropping from 0.9% down to A0.25%.CBO estimate shows that the additional $80 billion in funding
The Department of Justice Thursday, Aug. 11, filed a mo tion to unseal the warrant unless Trump objects to the move. The filing came around the same time Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that he personally ap proved the FBI’s search in Florida. “Not only will I not oppose the release of the documents,” Trump wrote Thursday, referring to the FBI’s warrant. “I am going a step further by encouraging the imme diate release of those documents,” he said. And Friday, Trump posted that the documents the FBI alleged seized were “all declassified” and agents “could have had [the documents] anytime they wanted without playing politics and break ing into Mar-a-Lago.” He added, “It was in secured storage, with an additional lock put on as per their request.”
Judge unseals Mar-a-Lago raid warrant, reveals why FBI is investigating Trump
The seven-page warrant that authorized the FBI to search former President Donald Trump’s prop erty earlier this week was unsealed Friday, Aug. 12, and it shows that Trump is under federal investiga tion for obstruction of justice and other alleged violations. Trump is under investigation for alleged violations of 18 USC 2071, concealment, removal or mutila tion; 18 USC 793 of the Espionage Act, gathering, transmitting or los ing defense information; and 18 USC 1519, destruction, alteration or falsification of records in fed eral investigations, according to the warrant, which was unsealed by Judge Bruce Reinhart Friday af ternoon. A conviction under these statutes can lead to imprisonment or fines. The search and seizure warrant shows FBI agents targeted “the ’45 Office,’ all storage rooms and all other rooms or areas within the premises used or available to be used by FPOTUS (former president of the United States) and his staff and in which boxes or documents could be stored, including all struc tures or buildings on the estate.” Agents were granted authority to seize “all physical documents and records constituting evidence, contraband, fruits of crime or other items illegally possessed,” accord ing to the warrant. That includes documents with classification markings and presidential records that were drafted between Jan. 20, 2017 and Jan. 20, 2021, when Trump was in office. The FBI didn’t try to obtain ac cess to search private guest rooms, including members of Mar-a-Lago, according to the warrant. Earlier this week, the judge ordered the Department of Justice to file a response after several groups re quested the warrant unsealed. Federal agents also took a set of alleged “top secret/SCI” docu ments, four sets of “top secret” documents, three sets of “secret” documents and three sets of “confi dential” documents, according to a property receipt unsealed alongside the warrant Friday. It’s not clear what the documents entailed. Response Trump’s lawyers have argued that the former president used his authority as president to declassify the material before he departed of fice in early 2021. “The Biden administration is in obvious damage control after their botched raid where they seized the President’s picture books, a ‘handwritten note’ and declassified docu ments,” Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich told Fox News as the warrant was unsealed Friday. “This raid of President Trump’s home was not just unprecedented, but unnec essary, and they are leaking lies and innuendos to try to explain away the weaponization of government against their dominant political op ponent. This is outrageous.”

“The Congressional Budget Office confirms that had this amendment passed and lower- and middle-income taxpayers been protected, revenue in Democrats’ bill would have been reduced by at least $20 billion,” Committee Republicans said. This confirms that “at least $20 billion of the $124 billion in new revenue expected by a super charged IRS will be coming from higher audits on low- and middleincome Americans” and that this would be “in addition to existing audits on these income levels.” The Epoch Times has reached out to the CBO with a request for confirmation of the scorekeeper’s assessment and comment, with no response received by publication. ‘Absolutely not’ increasing audit scrutiny? Republicans said the CBO state ment proves that members of the Biden administration are mis leading the public by claiming that lower- and middle-income Americans won’t face additional tax audits. Treasury Secretary Janet Yel len has insisted Republican claims that tax auditors will target lowerand middle-income Americans at higher rates are false and politi cally motivated. “I direct that any additional resources, including any new personnel or auditors that are hired, shall not be used to increase the share of small business or households below the $400,000 threshold that are audited relative to historical levels,” Yellen said in an Aug. 10 letter to IRS Com missioner Charles Rettig. “This means that, contrary to the misinformation from opponents of this legislation, small business or households earning $400,000 per year or less will not see an increase in the chances that they are audited,” she added.

The Washington Post, citing un named sources, reported Thursday, Aug. 11, that some documents relating to nuclear weapons were among the items sought by the FBI. But Trump Friday morning said the report is a hoax and a continuation of the Trump-Russia collusion nar rative that was pushed by legacy news outlets starting in late 2016. Republicans have said the un precedented FBI raid is a po liticized attempt to target a former president who is currently mulling a 2024 run. Since Monday, several GOP lawmakers have called on fed eral agencies to release the affidavit, which would provide more details as to what information the FBI was acting upon when it attempted to obtain the warrant. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) wrote on Twitter Friday that the Department of Justice “must re lease the information as to why a warrant was necessary, not what was taken … they can redact the names and other sensitive informa tion, but DOJ must lay their cards on the table.” Reprinted with permission.

Inflation Reduction Act In an effort to curb inflation, House Democrats passed the $700 billion Inflation Reduction Act in a strictly party-line vote Aug. 12 and it now awaits final approval from President Joe Biden. The bill, which was negotiated chiefly by U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), was passed by the Senate Aug. 7 via the reconciliation process, which overrides the 60-vote fili buster threshold for a simple majority.Democrats have touted the bill, which they say will bring in $725 billion in new revenue to the federal government and reduce the deficit by around $292 billion annually. “Rather than risking more infla tion with trillions in new spend ing, this bill will cut the inflation taxes Americans are paying, lower the cost of health insurance and prescription drugs and ensure our country invests in the energy security and climate change solu tions we need to remain a global superpower through innovation rather than elimination,” Man chin said while announcing his support for the IRA July 27. However, opponents of the act argue that the IRA may further harm the Financeeconomy.professor Michael Busler from Stockton University said in a recent interview with NTD that the U.S economy is currently in “stagflation” and as such, “the worst thing to be doing at this time when you have excess demand is to continue to govern ment spend and add more excess demand.” “That’ll make the inflation prob lem worse. Now, they’re gonna argue ‘We’re gonna raise taxes, so the inflation problem won’t be worse.’ All the tax increase will do is slow down the recovery,” Busler said. Reprinted with permission.

Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee say they have received information from the non-partisan scorekeeper at the Congressional Budget Office chal lenging the Biden administration’s narrative that Americans making less than $400,000 a year won’t see higher IRS audit rates. The remarks came in an Aug. 12 statement that was published as the Democrat-controlled House passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes nearly $46 billion in additional funding for IRS enforcement of the $80 billion or so total funding boost to the tax agency. Committee Republicans said that the CBO statement they were provided with confirms that, under the new legislation, lower and middle-income Americans will be squeezed harder by the tax man to the tune of at least $20 billion. ‘Supercharged IRS’ coming for middle-income Americans This figure was arrived at by calculating how much less tax rev enue would flow into government coffers if legislators had accepted amendment 5404 proposed by Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) that explicitly called for none of the funds appropriated under the Infla tion Reduction Act to be used to audit taxpayers making less than $400,000 a year.

Sentencing set for felon who shot, paralyzed man
Riverside County is expected to receive more than $100,000 from a settlement announced Wednesday, Aug. 10, with the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Co. over allegations of unlawful hazardous waste disposal at eight California hotels, the District Attor ney’s Office announced Thursday, Aug. 11. Under the settlement, the hotelier will pay $400,000 in civil penal ties, along with $100,000 to fund environmental projects in California and $35,000 in cost reimbursement, according to the district attorney’s office. From that settlement, which was signed Monday, Aug. 8, by River side County Superior Court Judge Kira L. Klatcho, the county will receive $91,000 in civil penalties, $8,000 for the Riverside County De partment of Environmental Health and $14,513 in cost reimbursement. The suit also involved the Los Angeles city attorney’s office and district attorney’s offices from six other counties – Orange, Los An geles, Placer, Santa Barbara, San Francisco and San Mateo. According to the district attor ney’s office, the company allegedly disposed of batteries, electronic de vices, ignitable liquids and more in the trash – instead of at authorized hazardous waste facilities – causing the items to be illegally dumped in local landfills. Since the lawsuit, the hotel com pany has improved its policies, procedures and training programs on handling hazardous waste, prosecu tors said, and state-registered haulers now collect, document and transport the company’s hazardous waste to authorized disposal facilities.

According to a trial brief filed by Deputy District Attorney Phil lip Joo, in the night Feb. 16, 2018, the defendant went to the bar with a male friend and two women, including one identified by the initials “M.S.” The four encountered the victim, identified in court documents only as “A.B.,” a reputed member of the Wild Flaxx street gang in Moreno Valley. The man knew M.S. and en gaged her in conversation, the briefHickssaid.did not join them and in stead walked away, going outside the establishment, where he began making calls on his cell phone, ac cording to the prosecution. Minutes later, the victim walked to the parking lot to check his car, then headed back toward the bar. Security video surveillance camer as in front of the business recorded all movements, and according to court papers, they showed Hicks say something to the victim, who replied, though the audio was not available.“Theconversation appears calm but confrontational,” Joo said. The victim then went back in side the bar, and Hicks headed to the parking lot, where he grabbed a 9mm semiautomatic pistol from his car, after which he returned to his previous spot in front of the bar, where he was joined by his friend.M.S. and her friend were in the bathroom, and the prosecution said that the defendant was wait ing for them to finish so they all could leave. In the video, the victim exits the bar again less than 10 min utes later but walks away from the defendant, evidently to avoid further contact. However, the two men eye one another and make parting comments, prompting the victim to turn around, according to the brief. “At this point, the defendant pulls the firearm from his back pants pocket and holds it at his side,” Joo said. Hicks’ friend, whose identity was not disclosed, attempts to intervene, standing between the victim and defendant. “During the few seconds’ en counter, the victim is aggressively walking or circling the two men while verbally engaging the de fendant,” Joo said. “As the victim continues to circle, the defendant raises the gun and shoots the vic tim through his bicep.” Hicks’ friend ducked, and the victim scrambled to his feet, at tempting to run away, when Hicks fired a second round, hitting the man in the lower back, the pros ecutionHickssaid.and his friend ran away from the location, as the victim was on the ground, unable to move his legs. Two good Samaritans went to his aid, loading him into a car and driving him to Riverside University Medical Center. Surgeons later determined that the shot to the lower back para lyzed the man from the waist down, according to the prosecu tion. Sheriff’s detectives confirmed Hicks’ identity through witnesses, and he was arrested without inci dent hours later. According to court records, the defendant, who is being held without bail at the Cois M. Byrd Detention Center, was affiliated with an Los Angeles gang, but it was unclear whether that was spe cifically what motivated the attack. He had previous convictions for assault with a firearm and being a felon with a gun.
