Lake Elsinore City Council members share heartfelt comments about Afghanistan crisis Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Lake Elsinore City Council members end each meeting with announcements about upcoming events in their individual districts, congratulatory statements to their constituents and provide updates on city matters. Things took a somber turn at the most recent meeting when several made personal comments about the current crisis in Afghanistan that affects its citizens and American troops. “I retired from the Marine Corps in 2002, before we went into Afghanistan. But the purpose for going into Afghanistan was because somebody launched an attack on us that killed up to 3,000 Americans. I try not to put down the administration or bad-mouth the administration; it’s not my practice because as a Marine, my commander in chief is elected by the people and as a Marine we support the commander in chief. I struggle with this one because we have given folks 20 years of hope. When we pledge to that flag, for us it means something, and so for the people of Afghanistan that flag meant something – it meant hope – the hope that girls could go to school that people could be free that people had a choice and so I feel like our country has abandoned them in this poor decision,” Brian Tisdale said. “I also feel bad for my brothers and sisters that served in Afghanistan, the ones that gave their life – they didn’t give their life in vain because we’ve had 20 years in which we’ve been safe. I want my brothers and sisters to know that we appreciate their effort and thank them for their efforts but again, this is a horrible, horrible situation that we’ve created, and I think the voters should really

open their eyes to the people that we elect into office to ensure stuff like this doesn’t happen again.” Council Member Natasha Johnson said, “For all of those that have served, I just want to say we know what you’ve done, and we appreciate you and we stand with you.” With the upcoming 20th anniversary of 9/11, Mayor Bob Magee said that Sept. 11 marked a “turning point” in American history. “We need to pause and remember those who suffered and perished,” Magee said. “We also need to remember the people that were called to serve this nation and that actually went to war. The battle for freedom continues even today.” He made an emotional plea, asking, “On Sept. 11, please take a moment to recognize a veteran or their family and thank them for what they’ve done because they are struggling today with the events that are happening in Afghanistan.” As a result of prior meetings where public comments on nonagendized items were used as a forum to verbally attack certain programs or council members, Magee made the disclaimer that this “is not the time or place for personal attacks or name calling. While we are blessed to enjoy the right of free speech within this chamber, let us not revert to schoolyard taunts and keep our dialogue respectful. I ask that everyone conduct themselves with a high degree of decorum this evening.” The council made short order of the business at hand during its regular meeting Aug. 24. The majority of Consent Calendar items 2 through 12 were approved. Tisdale chose not to participate in the vote for item 6, an agreement for Emergency Services Coordinator services between the County

of Riverside and the City of Lake Elsinore. “Legally, I can, but I won’t,” he stated. The item was passed with a 4-1 vote. Item 10, to authorize the purchase of services to design, build and deliver a storage building for Launch Pointe Recreation Destination & RV Park, was held for one public comment but went on to be approved unanimously. Items 13, 14 and 15 from the Successor Agency Consent Calendar were all approved, 5-0. Three Public Hearing items were on the agenda. Staff reports were waived by council members, no written or in-person comments were made, and all three resolutions were passed unanimously. Other city council member comments included an update on Riverside County COVID-19 vaccine rates by Tisdale and a reminder for everyone to do their civic duty and vote in the upcoming California Gubernatorial Recall Election Sep. 14. Johnson provided a Homeless Task Force update as well as announcing upcoming public hearings on redistricting set for Sept. 14, Feb. 22 and March 22. For more information, www.lakeelsinore.org/redistricting. Council member Steve Manos said the city’s housing element is being updated and there is a draft available for public review at www.lake-elsinore.org/housing. The deadline for comments in Sept. 16. Mayor Pro Tem Tim Sheridan wanted the public to know that the city is talking to Menifee Unified School District administration after parent complaints were received because of its decision to remove a crossing guard at Canyon Hills Road that served students attending Herk Bouris Elementary School. He encouraged attendance at Youth Sports Night with the

Sheridan said he is looking forward to the new Homemade and Homegrown Farmers Market and Craft Fair that is sprouting Sept. 5 at the Outlets and will be held on the first and third Sundays of each month.

Tres Lagos Affordable Housing project amendment objections heard in Wildomar Wildomar City Council Special Meeting called Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

More than a dozen Wildomar residents came before the city council to oppose increased housing units and parking lot decreases in the planned Tres Lagos Affordable Housing Project in a special Zoom meeting Aug. 26. The Tres Lagos project calls for the development of 225 low income housing units planned to be built in three phases at Catt and Arnett roads, not far from Interstate 15 and Clinton Keith Road. The project includes the construction of two- and three-story apartment complexes with amenities in a three phase development by Palm Communities. With many residents living around the planned low-income family housing project objecting to its construction, the Wildomar City Council called a special meeting so they could hear more of the residents’ objections and a description of the project in detail by the developer.

The developer, represented by Dan Horn, gave a description of the planned project and the reason they were asking for four amendments to the original site plan that asked for the construction of 209 units and a decrease in the project’s parking places. The developer also asked for a number of environmental changes, allowed in California Senate Bill 35 calling on all California cities and counties to provide thousands of new homes for the low and middle income families. SB35 mandates affordable housing Many cities have voiced their concerns about the mandates in the bill that overrules some of their general plan zoning provisions. Wildomar council, although voicing their objections to SB35, did see a need for low- to moderateincome housing increases and earlier gave the Tres Lagos Project their approval but with fewer homes in the project and strong environmental standards, including parking.

Another resident said the planned two- and three-story apartment complex would block her view of the surrounding area and would not fit in with the residential neighborhood of single story homes. Most of the residents’ objections centered around the lack of parking spaces that might cause the tenants to park on Catt Road where it is already difficult to enter Clinton Keith Road. Others saw traffic brought in by the added renters would further cause delays for other residents to get to work on time. Some residents argued that the city had a chance to buy the land parcels where Tres Lagos is to be built from Riverside County years ago but failed to do so creating the problems now brought on by state mandates. The council and city manager countered that at the time the young city did not have the money to purchase the property. Now it’s too late with the cost well over $5 million or more. Others expressed their ire over the state’s passage of SB35 and other mandated state housing bills and believed Wildomar and other California cities should have fought to have the bill dismissed and change the complexion of Sacramento. After patiently hearing the many resident objections Mayor Dustin Nigg, Mayor Pro Tem Ben Benoit, and Council Members Bridgette Moore and Marsha Swanson acknowledged there is little they can do but approve the amendments by resolution or face possible legal action because of SB35 and other housing mandates. Council Member Joseph Morabito did vote ‘no” on the amendments arguing the council could have done more

to stop Tres Lagos in the past and keep it for senior housing. The city made mistakes The council however, after approving the amendments 4 to 1, said they can call a town hall meeting to see what can be done about the parking and traffic problems that could be created by the low- to moderate-income development. They can post no parking or restricted parking on Catt and Arnett roads and provide more traffic controls in future developments. They did admit to the attending residents that the new city had made mistakes and needed to make a major review of the city’s General Plan and its zoning issues in the very near future. Horn assured the council they would, and do, hold their renters to high living standards seeking to be the best neighbors in the community they possibly can. He said the incomes and actions of the renters are reviewed by the project managers each month and the “jerks” are removed where it is legally possible under the housing laws. He also argued that the traffic problems already faced in the community are from other earlier developments in the city saying Tres Lagos would have little effect on the problem. He said the rents for low income residents would depend upon the number of bedrooms in the apartments and would range from $282 to $1,175 per month. Under SB35 the city has little control over the number of parking spaces allowed and housing units inside a low- to moderate-income community but can regulate street parking zones based on the safety of the community.

The project was approved over the objections of many in the community. Many of those objections were heard in the special meeting, especially for the asked for amendments that would allow for 18 additional low income units, less parking space and a three-story apartment building now planned. Horn explained the project to the council that evening saying their original plans for Tres Lagos was to build a senior housing community at the location, but because of county property problems and some funding falling through during the COVID-19 pandemic, a new plan was developed for the Wildomar property. Using the authority of SB35, Palm Communities proposed the low- and moderate-income apartment complex at the location that would help Wildomar with its state mandated low-income housing requirements, promising it would hold high standards for the renters coming into the complex. The site plan was approved by the planning commission and the council with, according to the residents, little input from them. Most of the residents joining the special council Zoom meeting, knowing there was little they could do to stop the project moving forward, made clear their objections about the proposed amendments. Parking and traffic biggest problems One resident said she had the signatures of 250 residents living around the planned Tres Lago project who objected to the development and its request for the amendments. They claimed it would lower their property values, create more traffic and parking problems, and bring more crime to the city.

Veterans take home gold medals from Wheelchair Games in New York Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Four members of Hemet’s Warrior Veterans Adaptive Sports Club traveled to New York City to compete in this year’s National Veterans Wheelchair Games and returned with medals, awards and a renewed and recharged look at life. Teammates William Hendrickson (Wheelchair Willie), Al Marconi, Jim Quenzler and Johnny Sandoval are all members of the club that is part of the Cloverlane Foundation, which has been providing and supporting programs to assist underserved families and U.S. military veterans for almost 30 years. In 2018, Cloverlane’s Chairman and founder Gerald Chase formed Veterans Mobility Projects to assist and support veterans with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) and/or difficulties with mobility. The nonprofit’s purpose is to give back to those that have sacrificed so much, by providing a way for veterans to regain some of the freedom they have lost. The following year, Veterans Mobility Projects created an athletic program specifically for injured veterans. The goal of the Warrior Veterans Adaptive Sports Club is to give injured veterans a chance to participate in adaptive athletics and competitive sports. The 40th annual Wheelchair Games were held in New York City Aug. 7-14. The athletic competition is open to all U.S. veterans with injuries that require the use of a wheelchair. To adhere to COVID-19 protocols, athletes were divided into two groups, each competing over a four-day period. Hendrickson, who competed in group one, earned four gold medals, three silver medals and the Group One Spirit of the Games Award, which is given to the athlete who best represents athletic excellence, sportsmanship and good character. “I’ve been competing at the National Veterans Wheelchair Games for 15 years,” Hendrickson, 55, said. “I started in 2006 and have been going ever since. The challenge is raising the funds each year to attend.” The San Jacinto Valley resident is a U.S. Army veteran who served from 1984-1986. Marcus, his service dog for the past six years, joined him at the games. Competing twice a day Hendrickson said his favorite sport is the slalom (an obstacle course) and road rally, which is akin to a trivia/poker run. His gold medal performances were in shot put, discus throw, disc golf and javelin; silver medals were awarded to him for road rally, soccer and slalom. “The highlight for me was when I was chosen for Spirit of the Games. It’s the highest honor an athlete can receive at the games,” Hendrickson said. “I practice every week for events, and I plan to keep competing until I die. It’s what keeps me alive.” Al Marconi also competed in group one, winning a bronze medal in power soccer and a gold medal in 9-ball. Jim Quenzler, also a group one participant did an outstanding job at the games as well, taking home silver med-

William Hendrickson earned a gold medal for his javelin throw at the 40th annual National Veterans Wheelchair Games in August.

Johnny Sandoval, captain of Hemet’s Warrior Veterans Adaptive Sports Club, joined three teammates at the National Veterans Wheelchair Games in New York City and won four medals for his efforts.

wild and domestic animals and funds other charities that work to provide for those in need. For the past two years the nonprofit has partnered with Valley Community Pantry, which provides much needed nourishment and assistance to families, seniors and veterans in the San Jacinto Valley. Most recently, members of the Cloverlane Foundation par-

als in 9-ball, road rally and bocce ball. Hendrickson said there were several team sports besides soccer, and he played against some of his teammates who were assigned to other teams. Sandoval, a Hemet resident since 1984, was appointed captain by his fellow sports club teammates. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1984-1990 aboard the USS Cayuga. He has been competing in the National Veterans Wheelchair Games since 2002. He was assigned to group two and won four medals – a gold in 9-ball, silver medals in softball and table tennis and a bronze in basketball. He said this year’s highlight was being able to participate in the games due to them being canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic. “Every day pushing my wheelchair prepares me for the games,” Sandoval, 54, said. “I plan to participate next year. The games are held in a different city every year and next year they will be in Tempe, Arizona. I also participate in the National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic.” Other Cloverlane Foundation programs include Maneuvering Veterans Forward, formed in 2018, which focuses on providing direction and discipline to veterans who need assistance with navigating their return to a healthy civilian life, primarily in Southern California. Aside from its many veteran-related programs and projects led by Korean War Army veteran Chase, Cloverlane Foundation also supports children and animal causes. Leg Up provides educational opportunities for underprivileged students to reduce the risk of them being left behind. The program

grants post-high school scholarships to attend accredited trade schools and college and supports primary and secondary public schools by providing educational materials and programs that have been eliminated from school budgets such as field trips and fine arts classes. The Foundation provides a haven for lost, abandoned and injured domestic and wild animals and funds veterinary care for medical treatment and spay/ neuter services. It also supports other organizations that care for

Body found near Perris that of missing Menifee woman City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A body located earlier this week west of Perris was determined to be that of a 65-year-old Menifee woman reported missing earlier this month, but no foul play is suspected in her death, authorities said Friday, Aug. 27. “At this time in the investigation, detectives ... think it’s possible she succumbed to a medical emergency or non-criminal trauma,” Menifee police Lt. Denise Keith said regarding the death of Karen Winteringham. The victim’s remains were located by passersby Tuesday afternoon in a rural area near the Perris city limits. An autopsy was pending to determine the exact cause of death. According to Keith, the victim’s family members reported her missing Aug. 4 after she left home without her mobile phone

and not telling anyone where she was going. “Mrs. Winteringham was known to officers from prior missing person reports,” the lieutenant said, without disclosing whether the woman suffered from dementia or another illness. Despite an extensive search of the area over the ensuing two days, police and Riverside County sheriff’s deputies came up with no clues as to her possible whereabouts. The California Highway Patrol issued a Silver Alert Aug. 5, asking the public to be on the lookout for Winteringham. It was unclear why she left home or why she apparently wandered into the undeveloped area where her remains were located. Anyone with information was asked to contact the Menifee Police Department at (951) 7231500.

First area Soofa electronic information sign installed at San Jacinto City Hall Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The first Southern California city Soofa sign installed and available for residents and developers seeking city information and scheduling meetings electronically is available in front of the San Jacinto City Hall at 595 San Jacinto Ave. Valley News/Tony Ault photo

The City of San Jacinto installed a special Soofa sign in front of city hall that allows for residents and developers to see what’s currently occurring in the city from city council meetings to providing help with many development and residential permits. The sign has hashtag and telephone reader symbols, or QR codes that show city information, scheduled meetings or upcoming city events on the electronic sign. According to San Jacinto City Manager Rob Johnson the Soofa sign is the first one of its kind to be installed in the Inland Empire. “Soofa sign in! This is one of the first Soofa signs in So Cal. SJ is always looking for innovative ways to engage and connect with the community. Welcome to San Jacinto Soofa! For those visiting City Hall, you will be able to see updates, upcoming events, interact in surveys, check in via QR code to our QLess check-in system… just to name a few activities. #community #innovation #gosanjacinto #engagement #minibillboard #solarsign,” Johnson stated on the city’s website.

Currently, “In the Loop” monthly broadcasts have Johnson and the city’s economic development manager Tara Wagner telling residents and others what current projects are underway in the city and methods by which developers and others can contact the city about anything from the homeless problems to the newest commercial and industrial developments happening in San Jacinto and some insights on what is about to occur that will affect all residents in the community. In their latest broadcast, Johnson and Wagner discussed the city’s current commercial and retail developments, including a 7-Eleven service station and convenience store at 7th Street and Sanderson Avenue that recently opened, Soboba Crossroads at Main Street and Ramona Expressway Phase I that will include a 15,000 square foot shopping center is being completed; Habit Burger and Tommy’s Car Wash on San Jacinto Street across from Walmart is under construction; and an ARCO am/pm service station and mini mart combination on San Jacinto Avenue is enlarging with special gas pumps for RVs and large trucks soon available.

are being upgraded; The Magnet a 120,000 square foot shopping center at State Street and Ramona Expressway being planned will soon know who will be moving in; Demler Farms Egg Ranch on Warren Road is completing upgrading its facility; front offices for the new 60,000 square foot manufacturing facility at Juanita Street and Esplanade Avenue is being completed that will offer more local jobs in the community, according to Wagner. During the broadcast, Johnson announced three polling places that will be open to accommodate voters in the upcoming California gubernatorial recall election, a special election to recall Governor Gavin Newsom. Voters can go to Mountain View High School, San Jacinto Public Library or Valley-Wide’s Regional Park. Johnson said the city hall is accepting drop-off ballots during its operating hours and other places where drop-off mail in ballots may be dropped until 9 p.m. Election Day, Sept. 14.

For those north of Tenaja Road, West of Calle Pino/Gallop Lane, south of Hombre Lane and west of Cleveland Forest Road, evacuation warnings were issued. As of press time, Tuesday, Aug. 31, all evacuation orders were reduced to evacuation warnings, allowing residents to return to the area, Cal Fire said. An evacuation center was set up at Murrieta Valley High School, 42200 Nighthawk Way in Murrieta, for those affected. Small animals were taken to Animal Friends of the Valleys at 33751 Mission Trail in Wildomar. The San Jacinto Animal Campus at 581 S Grand Avenue in San Jacinto, was opened for large animal evacuations, but most took their animals to friends, families or other locations including Galway Downs Equestrian Center. The fire spanned both Riverside and San Diego counties. On the

Riverside County side, it was burning in the southwestern end of La Cresta, an unincorporated community at the foot of the Santa Ana mountains. On Sunday, the South Coast Air Quality Management District issued a smoke advisory for western Riverside County and the Coachella Valley through Monday afternoon. The smoke could be seen from Orange and San Diego counties. Monday afternoon, the U.S. Forest Service announced the closure of all 20 million acres of California’s national forests to the public due to the wildfire risk. The closure took effect Tuesday, Aug. 31, and will last at least until Sept. 17, officials said. Firefighters were battling the flames from the ground and air, including the use of four air tankers. Crews from the U.S. Forest Service, Murrieta, Hemet and Corona were assisting the 150 firefighters from Riverside and San Diego counties. As of press time, firefighters had made some headway on the blaze,

Males and Searl face off in Hemet’s Nov. 2 special election for District 4 council seat Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Two candidates have officially filed to run for an open Hemet District 4 City Council seat to be determined by a special election on Nov. 3Election Nov 2, according to the Hemet City Clerk’s office. They are Joe Males and Marc Searl, both known residents in the district. The seat was opened when a Riverside County Superior Court Judge annulled the Nov. 3, 2020, election of Males because he was alleged not to have lived in District 4 at the time his nomination papers were filed. Males had been serving on the council since January and until the judge, following judicial review, announced the election was annulled. Many local residents of the district and others voiced their opinion that the council should still appoint Males to his position on the council as Mayor Pro Tem even after his election was annulled by court order. The remaining council members chose to call the special election set for Nov. 2, with any Hemet District 4 resident being able to be nominated to the position. Males properly submitted new nomination papers for the upcoming election, as did Searl, before the nomination period expired Aug. 5. In his candidate statement Searl wrote: “I grew up in Hemet and am a fourth-generation member of a pioneer farming family. My grandfather was born here in 1892 and my father in 1927. In college I majored in Economics and Business and minored in Spanish. I reFARNBACHS from page A-1 “The Wall of Honor is intended to honor and recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the city of Temecula,” Lowrey explained. “To be eligible individuals must have made a major contribution to improve the quality of life for the residents of the city of Temecula over a significant period of time.” All nominees have to be approved by both the subcommittee and the Temecula Community Services Commission, Lowrey said, adding that it was “quite an honor” to present the couple’s nomination. The Farnbachs’ mission to preserve and share Temecula’s history earned them the “welldeserved” award of Temecula Valley’s citizen of the year in 2019, Lowrey said. “They devoted decades of their time, money and heart to protect Temecula’s past, advocate for and share the history of Temecula Valley with a very fond interest in the Vail Ranch legacy,” Lowrey said. “Among the Farnbachs most notable accomplishments was saving the historic Vail Ranch Heritage site from demolition in 1997-1998 including Temecula’s Wolf Store located on Temecula Parkway.” Lowrey explained at the time, the site was not yet annexed into Temecula’s city limits, but that

turned to help run the family farm and I have owned my business in downtown Hemet since 1991. I am a very strong supporter of Public Safety. I previously served on the Hemet City Council through 2008 when we had over 90 sworn police officers. We implemented a regional Gang Task Force and had an aggressive Crime Suppression Team. Today we have only 71 sworn officers. “Hemet Taxpayers passed Measure U giving us much needed financial resources. Hemet City Leadership must spend those funds for their intended purpose of reducing rampant crime and increasing our Public Safety Serit was slated for demolition and commercial development under the jurisdiction of Riverside County, until the Farnbachs stepped in. “In the spring of 1998 when the developer bulldozed the historic adobe structure at the site, Darell Farnbach, together with a small team, prepared a lawsuit against Riverside County without the assistance of an attorney and marshalled support from the community,” Lowrey said. “There was no local historical society yet, so they formed the Vail Ranch Restoration Association with others that shared their love of Temecula and advocated for the historical value of the Vail Ranch legacy that once encompassed the Temecula Valley.” Lowrey said that ultimately the Farnbachs’ actions prevented any further demolition of the site and that even though the site is sandwiched between several commercial shopping sites, Vail Ranch is now a California State Heritage Site, all due to the lawsuit filed by Darell. The area was fenced off until it was annexed into the city and eventually redeveloped to become the Vail Ranch Headquarters that sits on the site today. “With careful oversight the Farnbachs worked with the developer and the structures were restored to honor the historical past of Temecula’s Vail Ranch

vices. The condition of our city needs immediate attention. My past experience gives me the tools and vision to resolve these issues for a brighter future for Hemet. I am a uniter and a problem solver. I will bring stable cohesive leadership with local business experience to City Hall.” Males wrote in his candidate statement: “Less than a year ago, the voters of City of Hemet, Council District 4 honored me with an election margin of 57% -- the highest of any contest in the San Jacinto Valley. “I ran my campaign on three very simple principles and promises: 1. Guarantee that Measure

“U” dollars would be used to reduce crime and increase public safety rather than be diverted for other purposes. 2. Work hard to clean up our streets and reduce homelessness. 3. Maximize the transparency and efficiency of City Hall and insist upon accountability from all departments. My election to the Council ensured that there were finally three votes to change Hemet’s direction. We started by replacing a City Attorney who’s annual billing exceeded $2,000,000 – three times more than what similar cities pay. The vote was 3-2. There are those who want to return Hemet back to the “insiders” who will grant

favors for their friends and play monopoly with taxpayer money. They found a technicality to force this special election, and they will say anything to regain the helm at City Hall. I will fight to not let that happen. Thank you for your overwhelming support these past few months and for your vote on Nov. 2.” The voters from District 4 will now be able to vote for their favorite candidate in the upcoming special election. No other candidates filed papers by the Aug. 5 cutoff date.

Headquarters,” Lowrey said. “The unique park-like setting melds historic buildings with boutiquelike shops, restaurants and family attractions while hosting hundreds of thousands of visitors a day who enjoy a peek into Temecula’s history.” In addition to their efforts with Vail Ranch Headquarters, Rebecca has written six books about Temecula Valley and is a frequent contributor to Valley News. Darell has served on the Riverside County Historic Commission. Together the couple helped to form the Temecula Valley Historical Society and have volunteered “endless hours” during the past 22 years to protect Temecula history, Lowrey said. Rebecca thanked the city for the honor. “We are really touched,” she said. “We thank you, those who have had a part in this. We couldn’t have done it without approvals and so on.” Rebecca called the Vail Headquarters project “a love story,” and spoke about the time when she and Darell discussed where they should live. She wanted to stay in Arcadia, but Darell had

other ideas and instead brought her to Temecula for a day trip that included a visit to the Vail Ranch Headquarters. “He said, ‘look at this, this is a piece of history. California history is going away and this is one little remnant that’s left. Isn’t it precious,’” Rebecca said. “When we heard it was going to be demolished of course we had to speak up.” She said that she and her husband love Temecula. “We love that the city annexed that site, we love that you supported the vision because we couldn’t do it all by ourselves,” she said. “Having that honor this evening is like the icing on the cake, we couldn’t thank you enough.” Former mayor Jeff Comerchero said that the one thing that got lost looking back on the couple’s work is that it wasn’t just the restoration, it was the fight to gain control of the site, calling the annexation of the site a war with the county. “They fought and won that battle,” he said. “The Farnbachs are a real treasure in Temecula. … I thank you for honoring them tonight. Their name belongs there.” All five city council members

praised the Farnbachs’ dedication to the city. “It’s an honor for me to be here to honor you in this way,” Councilmember Zak Schwank said. Mayor Pro Tem Matt Rahn said what the couple had accomplished at Vail Ranch was “remarkable,” calling the couple “assets to the community.” “To have the long-term dedication and foresight to protect something for our community, that’s a legacy,” he said. Alexander said the couple left a legacy that would always be remembered. Edwards said that the couple wasn’t just involved in Vail Ranch. “There are so many other things as well,” she said. “I want to tell you that when Darell was working on that, … he was the first one there when the sun came up and the last one to leave at night. And it took years, absolute years and that is just the actual physical working part of the project and it took years to get to that point,” she said. “This is probably the most important historical site that could have been preserved because that was the beginning. If it weren’t for you two, we would not have our history and we wouldn’t know where we could go to revisit our beginnings.” After honoring the Farnbachs, council took a brief recess to show the couple their names on the city’s Wall of Fame.

History in the Temecula Valley

Louis Wolf.

Valley News/Courtesy photos

Rebecca Marshall Farnbach SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

We see tract homes and shopping centers with names like Redhawk, Vail Ranch, and Wolf Valley that reveal layers of the nearly forgotten past. Long ago, mastodons and other prehistoric animals grazed in the lush fields of the verdant Temecula Valley. Remnants of their bones are displayed at the Western Science Center in Hemet. Native American people settled in our paradise with a temperate climate, abundant water, and ready food sources of game, nuts and seeds.

Native people lived in family clusters throughout the Temecula Valley, hunting game and gathering the foodstuffs the valley richly supplied them. Willows growing along the riverbanks provided branches for building their kichas, small domed structures they slept in. They traveled with the seasons to nearby mountains to gather different acorn varieties for their dietary mainstay, a mush called weewish. Spanish padres arrived in San Diego in 1769. A few ambled over the mountains from the Mission San Luis Rey and discovered the Temecula Valley paradise in 1798. The verdant area became a chief grain producing station for the mission and soon a granary, chapel and home for the majordomo, overseer, were built. The Temecula Valley was considered a valuable mission asset until the secularization of missions in1834, when the padres left and the buildings fell into disrepair. Then the Mexican government took charge of the area and parcels of land were granted to Mexican citizens. In our area there were four Mexican Ranchos: the Pauba, Santa Rosa, Temecula and the

Little Temecula. Pablo Apis, a Native man who was educated at the San Luis Rey Mission, made a request for the title to the Little Temecula Rancho, a 2,283-acre area where today’s Vail Headquarters sits. The small plot had the most fertile farmland in the valley, an ample water supply, and was situated at the crossroads of trails for promising commercial trade. Apis built an adobe home, planted a vineyard, fields and orchards. He acquired 300 head of cattle, horses and sheep, and established a trading post and stagecoach stop which eventually became the Temecula Butterfield Overland Mail Station. Every traveler coming along the Southern Emigrant Trail or going from San Diego to points north stopped at the Little Temecula Rancho. In the mid-1860s when emigrants John Magee and Louis Wolf saw Apis’ profitable trading post on the well-traveled route, they each set up nearby stores. Magee later set up another store about 3 miles away on the road to San Diego. The remains of that store stand in the Journey Golf Course. As European and American settlers came into the area, they complained that the Indians were squatters and in 1875 the sheriff of San Diego County assisted the ranchers in forcefully removing the Native people from the lands where they had lived for many generations. In 1882, the people

settled along the Pechanga Creek at the new reservation. Louis Wolf bought the Little Temecula Rancho gradually between 1868 and 1876. Wolf ’s Store became a center known as the town of Temecula. His store provided a saloon, livery stable, legal services, hotel, general store, stage stop, post office, school and employment agency. Wolf drafted a planned community to be called Louisville southwest of his store. His planned community was not to be, at least not then, and not by that name. When train tracks were built about 3 miles west of his store, people moved closer to the train station to build “the new town of Temecula,” what is now known as Old Town Temecula. After Wolf’s death in 1897, his family sold the Little Temecula Rancho in parcels. Jacob Ludy bought most of it and sold it to the Vails in 1905. The ownership of the larger Rancho Temecula passed from Felix Valdez to Frenchman Jean Louis Vignes in 1846. Vignes, who became known as the Father of California winemaking, also bought Rancho Pauba, which is where our many wineries are now. There is no evidence that Vignes, whose French name means “vines,” had any vineyards on Rancho Pauba lands. Each of the four ranchos changed hands through the years, weaving their colorful stories into the tapestry of the history of our valley, until

a cattleman, Walter Vail, purchased the bulk of the four ranchos to form the massive Vail Ranch of 87,500 acres in 1905. The Vails owned land that now spans from south of today’s Temecula Parkway, to Clinton Keith Road to the north, west to Camp Pendleton and east to beyond the Vail Lake Resort. In 1964, the Vail Company sold their holdings in the Temecula Valley for $63 million to Kaiser Aetna who designed a planned community with designated areas for citrus, grapes, horses, and different sizes of tracts for homes. While schools and streets and neighborhoods carry forward names of the past, every trace of the Apis adobe and the surrounding Indian village is gone. The Wolf Store remains, and the Magee Store ruins are cared for. There are several old buildings in Old Town hearkening back to the early 1900s. I like to think that as the morning mists rise around Temecula that the spirits of those long-gone hover and affirm the carefully planned growth of our city of over 100,000 people. I doubt that those who first lived here could imagine then what Temecula is today. Visit Farnbach’s Amazon author page, www.amazon.com/-/e/ B01JQZVO5E. The Little Temecula History Center Museum, the red barn at the corner of Redhawk Parkway and Temecula Parkway in Temecula, is open on Sundays from noon to 5 p.m.

LOCAL THEATRE from page A-1 members provided gift baskets for auction to assist with funding the theater needs for its continuing renovation efforts. Robinson introduced Susan Carrier, CEO of the Historic Hemet Theatre, and chamber representatives. Carrier said, “This is so cool to see this community come out for this wonderful event. Isn’t this the most charming old theater you have ever seen? What a pleasure for our valley.” She gave a history of the theater that began with its initial builder and owner William Martin in 1921. The first theater she recalled was across the street on Florida Avenue from the present theater but was moved later to its current location. Carrier was honored in the ceremonies that followed with many

proclamations and certificates from Congressman Raul Ruiz and other state, county and city officials. Presenting the proclamations were representatives from the different branches of government including the Mayor of Hemet Karlee Meyer, San Jacinto’s Mayor Pro Tem Crystal Ruiz and 3rd District County Supervisor Chuck Washington and representatives for California Assemblyman Kelly Seyarto and state Sen. Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh. In the audience were two of Hemet’s longtime city officials including Hemet Council Member Linda Krupa and former council member Lori Van Arsdale, who both grew up in Hemet. Van Arsdale said she once worked at the old Hemet Theater and recalled many of her past experiences with the theater owners and managers. Also in attendance was former

San Jacinto city council member and Hemet/San Jacinto Valley Chamber of Commerce member Russ Utz, who said, “100 years is fantastic because we had this place available to the community, especially way back when there was nothing to do except see a movie. To have the same place available for so long and see all the different ways they give back to the community with tribute bands and allowing nonprofits to have events, is great.” Hemet Council Member Russ Brown was on hand to say, “It is terrific it has survived in time with the community interest in revitalizing it. It is huge with all the work that is going on.” The Historic Hemet Theatre Foundation, led by Susan and the late Bryan Carrier who purchased the old theater in 2013 and formed the revitalization group through the foundation, said there will be a special event coming to the theater Oct. 11. That special event will allow visitors to take tours of the newly renovated theater and the actual projection room upstairs that currently is closed off to the public. The event will be another fundraiser for the theater that is continuing to bring famous tribute bands for the community’s entertainment for a small admission charge. Carrier recalled the many tribute bands that visited the historic theater that told her it was the best venue they ever played at and sought to make more future visits. The Historic Hemet Theater that was built and moved to its present location had its beginning in 1921 when it actually showed some silent movies with captions including those made by then comedian and actor Charlie Chaplin. Cuts from the Charlie Chaplin movies were on the screen at the Century Celebration. Another highlight of the evening were prize baskets donated by many local businesses that will raise funds to help the foundation’s continuing effort to renovate the historic theater. The theater welcomed guests with up-to-date movies until 1980 when the Martin family sold the theater property to a number of entrepreneurs who hoped to bring it back to life but

failed to do so and in 2010 there was a devastating fire next door. Only the thick walls of the theater prevented it from destroying the theater which forced it to close entirely. It stayed in disrepair until 2013 when the Carriers took over the property and formed a foundation to bring it back to life. Donations large and small and many community and business volunteers worked to renovate the front lobby restrooms and stage area, according to the Carrier. It was then opened for limited theater showings and to tribute bands that brought back some crowds. Nonprofits also used the movie theater for their productions and fundrais-

ers. Many of those businesses and nonprofits had representatives at the 100-year anniversary. Following the award presentation, a Currier and Ives original print was auctioned off for $2,100 to help with continuing needed renovations at the theater. The Historic Hemet Theatre Foundation continues to accept donations and schedule special events for the community. The nonprofit was incorporated in 2011 and Susan Carrier is CEO and Ray Rodriquez is Vice President. For more information, historichemettheatre.com.

Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The dozen nonprofits who took to the Soboba Casino Resort Event Center stage for the 13th annual Lip Sync Contest presented by the Soboba Foundation and Soboba Casino Resort were greeted by a sold-out audience and double the winnings they were expecting. Host and master of ceremonies Andrew Vallejos kept the night moving with big laughs and crowd cheers of his own. Heading into the competition Aug. 20, participants were hoping to receive $5,000 for first place, $2,500 for second, $1,500 for third, $1,000 for fourth and $500 each for the rest. After the first few acts showed they had put a lot of thought, time and effort into their performances, the Soboba Foundation board members decided they deserved more and doubled each payout. The judges had a tough time ranking the acts as each one offered great themes, talented “singers” and dancers, and amazing energy. Monica Herrera served many years on the Soboba Tribal Council and the Soboba Foundation Board and is an experienced advocate for others. Bella da Ball, a recipient of a star on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars, is widely recognized for her work as a champion of human rights. Debby Alexander owned and operated the Peabody’s Cafe and Bar in Palm

Springs for more than 28 years and has hosted many events in support of charities. Comedian Amy Ashton has appeared on HBO Comedy Central and is a regular at major comedy clubs. She also speaks and performs empowerment comedy to inspire and entertain kids at schools across California. The first-place prize of $10,000 was awarded to American Cancer Society-Relay for Life with their “boy band” pop mashup. Members of this year’s talented group were Andre DeJesus of Apple Valley, DJ Cordova of Victorville, Daniel Aponte Jr. of Menifee, Sam Gutierrez of Fontana and Ralph Conley of Beaumont. They practiced every week for the past four months via WebEx to accommodate their day jobs and the distance between them. After a crowd-pleasing act, judge Debby Alexander asked them when their first tour date was going to be. Amy Ashton said the performance was “professional from beginning to end.” Bella da Ball said they “blew it out of the water.” Second place of $5,000 was won by American Legion Post 53, performing “Candy Man” by Christina Aguilera. Bella said, “I love Big Band music and I love Swing and you had so much fun up there.” Monica Herrera said, “You had really good moves and I loved the ending.” San Jacinto Unified School District, with its salute to KISS, earned third place and $3,000.

Judge Bella da Ball critiques one of the performances while fellow judge Monica Herrera looks on during the 13th annual Lip Sync Contest at the Soboba Casino Resort Event Center.

Bella said their performance was “extra super fabulous” and “over the top” with great costumes and energy. Debby said, “I’m a little impartial because I’m part of the KISS Nation and I’ve had a pair of platform shoes.” MilVet, a nonprofit that provides military and veteran support services, took home $2,000 for its fourth-place finish. A rousing patriotic blend of songs that ended with Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” had the crowd waving mini flags that MilVet had provided to all the guests. Many audience members were on their feet by the end, saluting the large flag being waved onstage. Monica said, “You did an awesome job. That last song was so touching and meaningful; it always makes me want to cry.” Bella said the dramatic patriotic songs were beautiful, adding “Thank you for bringing your energy and message to all of us.” Amy said, “You did make me cry. Thank you for doing this – it was very spiritual and made us realize that there are things that are bigger than us.” Debby said that “the crowd was moved by that song because of how you presented it.” Vallejos said the performance pointed out that even if we have problems and disagree about something, “we can come together in the end.” All other participants received specialty awards and $1,000 each. Most Original was given to Valley Community Pantry who partnered with Cloverlane Foundation to

present “I Will Follow Him” from the Sister Act movie. Judge Amy said, “This was A-level entertainment that kept us going.” Most Creative was Rotary Club of Hemet who took on George Clinton’s “Atomic Dog.” Competing for the first time, Bella complimented them for having a group of 12 people “pulling together and working on such a great song.” Ramona Bowl Amphitheatre, which has been part of the Lip Sync Contest since its inception, received “Most Spirited” for its take on Lakeside’s “Fantastic Voyage” using a Pirates of the Caribbean theme. “I really enjoyed the combination of pirates and disco together – they will be forever together in my mind,” Debby said. Best Props were awarded to T.H.E. Center for its fun rendition of “We Are” from the “Ice Age” movie. Amy said, “I like the way you represented every different background and brought us all together with your entertaining and lovely performance.” Let Them Be Little Feline Rescue, another first-time participant, was given “Best Costumes” for its “Stray Cat Strut” performance. Amy thought the group performed at “Broadway level” and should be very proud of themselves. Best Song choice went to the San Jacinto Education Foundation for its Meatloaf ballad of “Paradise by the Dashboard Light,” which was expertly “sung” by Scott Cozart and Jerry Peebles with some assistance by Evan Pagay.

Ramona Bowl Amphitheatre kicks oﬀ the show with a Pirates of the Caribbean themed performance, featuring Frank Jaramillo, center.

The Miss Hemet/Miss San Jacinto Scholarship Program, which performed after a brief intermission in the three-hour show, got Most Dramatic for their salute to Britney Spears. The Greater San Jacinto Chamber of Commerce earned Most Entertaining for “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” and they certainly did. As the final act of the program, they were given a thumbs-up for their 80s-era costumes and for having so much fun. “I always enjoy a night out with my family, and we had such a great time,” Soboba Foundation President Dondi Silvas said. “It was great to see everyone in the room having so much fun, too. And knowing that it was all in support of such worthy local nonprofits is just the best feeling.” Soboba Foundation Vice President Catherine “Cat” Modesto said she was happy to see all the entries “stepping up their game” and was glad to see such a good turnout. Sally Moreno-Ortiz, who serves as Soboba Tribal Council Secretary and is a member-at-large for the Foundation, said the event was “fun and entertaining and Andrew did an awesome job.” She felt “KISS rocked it” and enjoyed the performance by MilVet. Joey Placencia assisted Vallejos by taking comments from the audience after each performance. Everyone seemed to enjoy the show and had positive things to see SOBOBA, page B-2

say, even about those that were competing against the nonprofit they were there to support. Monica Herrera said she was happy to be part of the contest and felt like all the groups took it seriously this year, which made it more competitive. “Everything was meaningful especially with everything that’s going on in our country right now,” she said. Soboba’s Rose Salgado pioneered the Lip Sync Contest in 2008 to unite the community in a fun and competitive spirit of giving to those in need. Although she died earlier this year, she was remembered by many throughout the night. Rose was instrumental in the creation of the Soboba Foundation as well. She wanted to help her people contribute to neighboring communities by way

of sponsorships for their special events and programs. The annual Lip Sync Contest quickly became a must-see show that sold out every summer. The performances became more elaborate, the rewards became greater, and the entertainment value went through the roof. Linda Krupa performed with the Rotary Club of Hemet because she promised Salgado she would, San Jacinto Unified School District gave a shoutout to Salgado who has supported its many programs and projects for so long and Monica Herrera admitted she was missing Salgado. “It’s not the same without her here but I’m sure she’s proud of how much it’s grown,” she said. “I think she would have liked the lineup we had tonight and the overall outcome.”

Movie review ‘PAW Patrol: The Movie’ Bob Garver SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

The animated “PAW Patrol” franchise doesn’t have the “for all ages” appeal of the best of Disney and Pixar. It’s from Nickelodeon, but it doesn’t even manage that channel’s trademark appeal to both kids and a certain brand of immature adult (“Ren and Stimpy” and “SpongeBob SquarePants” come to mind as examples). No, this is strictly kiddie stuff, and as I am no longer a kiddie myself nor do I have kiddies of my own, “PAW Patrol: The Movie” is not for me. The most fun I can get out of this movie is occasionally making snarky jokes out of harmless material. Parents, you can at least enjoy how much your kids (and they have to be young kids, like kindergarten or lower) enjoy this movie, but there’s nothing here for you yourselves. The story follows the mostlycanine PAW Patrol as they move from small-town Adventure Bay to urban metropolis Adventure City. City dog Liberty (wunderkind actress/producer Marsai Martin)

calls them in to do damage control for newly-“elected” Mayor Humdinger (Ron Pardo), who’s more of a cat person. Simply having an evil mayor isn’t normally a reason to call emergency services, but in this case, it’s completely necessary. Over the course of the movie, Humdinger will set off a reckless fireworks display (I saw this film in a town where a similarly reckless fireworks display infamously took place about a decade ago), add a poorly-constructed loop-de-loop to the city’s subway, and cause a massive storm by overloading an educationally-purposed weather machine. Humdinger, by the way, belongs to whichever political party you don’t like. It’s up to the PAW Patrol to save the day: Human leader Ryder (Will Brisbin), police officer Chase (Iain Armitage), aviator Skye (Lilly Bartlam), firefighter Marshall (Kingsley Marshall), recyclingthemed Rocky (Callum Shoniker), aquatic-themed Zuma (Shayle Simons), and construction-themed Rubble (Keegan Hedley). The pup with the most personality is Chase, who’s afraid to return to Adventure

City after a bad experience being abandoned there in the past. He’s got to learn a lesson about bravery so the film can meet the minimum requirement for substance, I mean, so he can save the day. The film doesn’t put a lot of effort into its script or characters, but it sure puts a lot into the vehicles they drive, the buildings they inhabit, and the accessories they use. This is not a movie that is worried that it’s too much of a glorified toy commercial. Ryder even makes a self-aware jab at the team’s merchandising at one point. Maybe that’s why all the perfectly-capable dogs answer to a human – he knows a good marketing opportunity when he sees one. This may be a strange comparison, but being in a theater with young kids for “PAW Patrol: The Movie” was a lot like being in the theater with teenage girls for “Twilight” back in 2008. The movie did nothing for me in and of itself, but the reactions of the fans in the audience was infectious. They were climbing on their seats, laughing and screaming at every little thing on screen, and loudly

Find Yourself Here! Announcing new Temecula Arts & Culture Guide Map TEMECULA ─ The City of Temecula Community Services Department announced the creation of a new Temecula Arts & Culture Guide Map to inform residents and visitors as to the details and locations of various arts and cultural facilities, public art installations, art galleries, performance venues, and arts events available to the public throughout the year. Temecula Mayor Maryann Edwards stated, “The celebration of art and culture, in all forms, touches the soul of a community by creating a sense of place and belonging, provoking thought, allowing humanity to explore commonalities and differences. Temecula’s long-standing commitment to provide quality arts programming and entertainment is evidenced by this new artistic and informative map.” “The city’s Quality of Life Master Plan states that part of Temecula’s vision is to become ‘a center of art, culture, heritage and lifelong learning opportunities,’” Temecula Community Services District President and City Councilmember Zak Schwank said. “Temecula’s Community Service Department works hard to provide various opportunities for our arts and cultural communities, and this map provides a look into the depth of our arts and culture programming. We are fortunate to be a city that hosts several museums, art galleries, beautiful public art installations, and multiple performance spaces, and our new guide map presents it creatively and conveniently.” Temecula’s Arts & Culture Guide Map will be available for free at various city facilities such as Temecula’s Civic Center; Temecula

declaring that it was the greatest movie ever. The audience at “PAW Patrol” got pretty rowdy too. “PAW Patrol: The Movie” isn’t for me, it isn’t for adults unless they’re accompanied by a kid, and it isn’t for kids over the age of about six. To me, the pace was too slow, the jokes weren’t funny, and the shilling of toys was too obvious. But the kids in the target audience were having the time of their lives, so I can’t say the movie failed in its goal of reaching them. Let’s say it averages out to a C. Grade: C “PAW Patrol: The Movie” is playing in theaters and available for streaming on Paramount+. The film is rated G. Its running time is 86

City of Murrieta celebrates 30th anniversary of incorporation with birthday bash MURRIETA - The City of Murrieta will celebrate the 30th anniversary of its incorporation with a birthday bash Saturday, Sept. 4, from 2 p.m. until just after 9 p.m. The free event features familyfriendly activities, a scooter demonstration, firefighter hose down and live music. The day culminates with a bang during a 20-minute fireworks show at 9 p.m. The fun takes place at Murrieta’s California Oaks Sports Park, 40600 California Oaks Road. Murrieta Mayor Scott Vinton expressed his excitement for the upcoming celebration. “While we couldn’t hold our birthday bash earlier in the summer as we usually do, we are excited to celebrate throughout the year so we can continue to reflect on how far Murrieta has come in the past 30 years,” Vinton said. With its incorporation July 1, 1991, the birthday bash will take community members back to the 90s to celebrate 30 years of cityhood. The live bands begin at 4:30

p.m. with a 90s-themed entertainment lineup including the Faux Fighters, Green Today and No Duh. After the live music, the fireworks display — set to 90s hits — will begin at approximately 9 p.m. There will also be a kid zone with bounce house activities and fun. Visitors can check out the nonprofit, business, and food vendors at the event and attendees are encouraged to head down early and enjoy the day at the park. “Over the past 30 years, Murrieta has grown into a vibrant and safe community, with a strong and diverse economy,” Murrieta City Manager Kim Summers said. “Yet, it is the spirit of the community that sets Murrieta apart. We can’t wait to celebrate with everyone Sept. 4.” For more information about the event and other activities held by Murrieta’s Community Services Department, visit www.murrietaca. gov/events or call (951) 304-CITY (2489).

HOME & GARDEN

California enacted a groundwater law 7 years ago, but wells continue to dry up while threat spreads

Volunteers at the Orland Fire Department in Glenn County distribute bottled water to people with dry wells July 28.

Kelly O’Brien listens to her well hum as it fills with cool water after more than a month of living without water Valley News/Rachel Becker, CalMatters photos at her home July 2.

Rachel Becker CalMatters SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Kelly O’Brien’s drinking water well had been in its death throes for days before its pump finally gave out over Memorial Day weekend. It wasn’t a quiet death at O’Brien’s home in Glenn County, about 100 miles north of Sacramento. Spigots rattled. Faucets sputtered. The drinking water turned rusty with sediment. In the end, two houses, three adults, three children, two horses, four dogs and a couple of cats on her 5 acres of land were all left with no water for their sinks, showers, laundry, troughs and water bowls. As extreme drought spread across the state, O’Brien feared that the water underneath her property had sunk so low that it was out of the reach of her well. “The whole time you’re going, ‘Oh please, let it be something else. Let it be a switch. Let it be the pump — let it be anything but being out of water,’” O’Brien said. She worried that she might have

to take out a second mortgage to afford the thousands of dollars if her well had to be drilled deeper. Soon O’Brien learned that other wells were failing around her. She heard about one neighbor to the north, another to the east. The list kept growing: She started a Facebook group for owners of dry wells to share their woes and resources, and it grew to more than 665 members. “In a way, you’re kind of relieved it’s not just you,” O’Brien said. “However, it’s really terrifying at the same time to think that it’s not just us — it is everybody around us.” During the height of the state’s last drought, thousands of Californians in the Central Valley ran out of water as their wells went dry. So much water was pumped from underground, mostly by growers, that the earth collapsed, sinking up to two feet per year in parts of the San Joaquin Valley. Alarmed, the California Legislature in 2014 enacted a package of new laws that aimed to stop the overpumping. But seven years later, little has changed for Californians relying

on drinking water wells: Depletion of their groundwater continues. Pumping is largely unrestricted, and there are few, if any, protections in place. Now, after two dry years, reports of dry wells are worsening and spreading in many new areas, leaving more families like O’Brien’s with no drinking water. Despite the law, about 2,700 wells across the state are projected to go dry this year, and if the drought continues, 1,000 more next year. SGMA Management Called the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act or SGMA, the laws gave local groundwater agencies in critically overdrafted basins 26 years — until 2040 — to achieve sustainability and stop impacts of overdraft from worsening. Those managing less-depleted water supplies, like the ones underlying Glenn County, have until 2042. But, somewhat predictably, this drought arrived much sooner than the laws’ safeguards: As a result, echoes of the last drought are now sputtering from people’s faucets and knocking through their empty pipes.

“It feels like we’re in a very similar place to where we were in the last drought,” Darcy Bostic, who analyzed groundwater sustainability plans at the Pacific Institute, a global water think tank, said. “Everyone talks about how it’s different, and how it will take time, but people are still going to lose access to drinking water. And we don’t really have a new plan for addressing that.” During the last drought, dry wells were largely in the San Joaquin Valley, but Northern California is being hit hard this time. Well outages are creeping north through the Sacramento Valley, where Glenn, Tehama and Colusa residents reported more than 250 well outages to county officials by mid-August, more than were reported during the last drought. Almost half of measurements showed groundwater levels dropped last year compared to the previous three years. A larger problem “The scope is much larger than I think anything we heard about before,” Joe Karkoski, the State Water Resources Control Board’s deputy director of the division of financial assistance, said. “We’re hearing from counties that we didn’t hear from during the last drought.” Now former state Sen. Fran Pavley, a Democrat and an author of the bills that became the act, says it may be time for the California Legislature and state agencies to accelerate its implementation. “We don’t know when the next

drought will come. So when this passed in 2014, I think most of us thought it would probably be plenty of time,” Pavley said. And was it? “Apparently not.” For all of California’s grand engineering feats to shunt the flow of rivers from one part of the state to another, most of its more than 7,400 public water systems rely on water sucked from the ground. For 6 million people, it’s their only source. In a good year, groundwater makes up about 40% of California’s water supply. In a bad one, like this year, it’s close to 60%. Fed by rain, snow and streams, groundwater is one of California’s most precious resources. In dry years, when the flows from surface waterways dwindle, growers — who account for about 80% of all groundwater used in the state — tap into more of the underground supply to irrigate their parched crops. In 2015, growers pumped more than twice what they did in 2005. It’s a limited store that’s slow to refill — a hydrological savings account overdrawn by up to 2.5 million acre-feet statewide every year, according to a state groundwater report. That’s enough water to supply about 7.5 million Southern California households for a year. This article first appeared on CalMatters Network and is being republished under a Creative Commons license.

Three big housing decisions you may face Jane Kepley SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Housing decisions are never small. Where you choose to live impacts your budget, your job prospects and your social life. And in the future, your home plays a major role in what your retirement might look like (financially and logistically). For these reasons, housing decisions require plenty of careful consideration. Want to be prepared to make the right choice when the time comes? Start here. Should you build or buy? Both building a new home or buying an existing one can be good choices. You’ll typically pay more for a new home, but it will likely need fewer repairs and have lower maintenance costs. Existing homes, on the other hand, are usually cheaper upfront. They may come with more issues and potential repairs, though.

Is it better to move or to remodel? There will typically come a time when you outgrow your first house. When this happens, you’ll need to decide whether updating (or expanding) that property is best or if you’re better off finding a new home instead. Renovating will come with some hassle and mess, but if you love your location or your kids’ schools, it can be a smart choice. Buying a new property would allow you to change some of those foundational aspects — things like location, school district and community amenities. Is it time to downsize? As you age and your kids move out, you might consider a smaller house. Downsizing can reduce your monthly costs, free up cash flow and reduce the amount of cleaning and maintenance you need to do. On the other hand, it may be hard to part with your long-stand-

EVMWD approves Renaissance Ranch water supply assessment Joe Naiman WRITER

The Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District board approved a water supply assessment for the Renaissance Ranch Commerce Center specific plan. The 5-0 vote Aug. 26 approved the plan for the project which would include 97.2 acres for light industrial use and 18 acres for a business park (the 157.1-acre total for the project also includes 38.6 acres of open space and 3.3 acres for roads). A water supply assessment addresses whether the projected normal, single dry year, and multiple dry year expected supply over a 20-year period can meet the demand for the project

along with existing and other planned projects. The Renaissance Ranch Commerce Center land is southwest of the Interstate 15 bend, north of Palomino Creek Drive, and east of Horsethief Canyon Road. At one time residential development was slated for the site. The water district included that planned residential development in its urban water management plans. As a residential development the additional projected water demand was 405 acre-feet per year. The business park and light industrial use reduces the projected annual water demand to 122 acrefeet. The light industrial area has an expected annual demand of 98 acre-feet while the business park

anticipated annual demand is 24 acre-feet. The water supply assessment was prepared by Water Systems Consulting Inc., which also prepared the most recent EVMWD urban water management plan. The water supply assessment estimated total demand through 2045, when the district is expected to provide service to approximately 238,000 people. The projected EVMWD supply is 47,219 acre-feet in 2025 and 55,328 acre-feet in 2045. The projected demand is 38,932 acrefeet in 2025 and 50,967 acre-feet in 2045.

COVID hospitalizations continue to rise in Riverside County Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

As infections continue to climb, the COVID-19 pandemic has claimed its youngest victim in Riverside County, a 4-year-old child with no underlying health issues, health officials confirmed. According to the Riverside University Health System, the unidentified child died during the first week of August, but it was not reported as a COVID fatality until the cause of death was verified. No other information about the child, including a city of residence, was released. “Our thoughts and sympathies go out to the family, friends and others who are impacted by the death of this child,” county Public Health Officer Dr. Geoffrey Leung said in a statement. “This tragedy reminds us that this virus does not discriminate between the young and old. The death of this child strengthens our commitment to

halt this pandemic before the loss of another young life.” COVID-related hospitalizations have ticked up again in Riverside County to 660 with the addition of 103 new patients over the past week, according to the Riverside University Health System. The number of patients in intensive care units for the week ending Aug. 27 was 137. The total number of cases recorded since the public health documentation period began in March 2020 grew by more than 6,500 cases from 325,944 to 332,499, according to RUHS, which also reported 4,727 deaths up by 30 from the week before. Fatalities are trailing indicators because of delays processing death certificates, and can date back weeks, RUHS said. The number of known active virus cases countywide was 7,879, up 757 since Friday, Aug. 20, officials said. Verified patient recoveries

countywide are 318,867. Department of Public Health Director Kim Saruwatari told the Riverside County Board of Supervisors Aug. 24, that 17% of the county’s COVID infections in July were among fully vaccinated people, while to date in August, 15.4% of COVID patients were fully vaccinated. Saruwatari said hospitalization data has been consistent, with roughly 10% of patients being fully vaccinated, and 90% unvaccinated. Altogether, the county had tabulated 3,361 cases of fully vaccinated people this year requiring post-vaccination treatment for the virus, according to Saruwatari. She added that 23 virus-related deaths have been documented among the vaccinated. As of press time, Temecula reported 178 new cases bringing its totals to 81 deaths and 8,507 confirmed cases. In Murrieta, the number of those who died held at

140 but the number of cases grew to 10,110, up by 217 cases over the past week. In Wildomar the total number of deaths held at 49, but the number of cases increased by 71 bringing its total to 4,036. Lake Elsinore had 8,326 confirmed cases, up by 130, but held at 78 deaths. Menifee cases grew to 11,164, up 208 but held at 176 deaths. Hemet had 10,471, up 195 cases and remained at 293 deaths. San Jacinto saw an increase of 100 COVID patients bringing its new total to 7,315 confirmed cases and held at 103 deaths. While seeing a rise in cases, the unincorporated communities continue to fare better overall. In Anza, three new cases were reported last week bringing the total number of cases up to 154. To date, only two deaths have been reported in Anza. East Hemet saw an increase of 39 cases bringing its total to 2,329 confirmed cases and 36 deaths. French Valley had 2,776 confirmed cases, up 63 over the

past week and 18 deaths. Homeland saw an increase of 6 bringing its total to 741 confirmed cases and 13 deaths. In Lakeland Village 18 new cases were reported, bringing its total to 1,301 confirmed cases and 10 deaths, Temescal Valley had 2,888 cases, up 56 from the week prior, and 25 confirmed deaths and Valle Vista had an increase of 33 cases, bringing its totals to 1,684 confirmed cases. Only Valle Vista reported one new death for the week bringing its total to 26 deaths. According to the RUHS, more than 60% of all county residents have either been fully or partially vaccinated.

Inflammation, COVID-19 can lead to chronic fatigue Shelby Ramsey SPECIAL TO THE VILLAGE NEWS

The more that medical experts study disease, the more frequently inflammation seems to rear its problematic head. “There are a lot of people that think a lot of illnesses are related to inflammation,” Dr. Christopher Snell, former chair of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome advisory committee to the U.S. Secretary for Health, said. Snell, with over 30 years of specialized experience, is widely published and has lectured in the U.S. and abroad, including for the Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health. Surprisingly, Snell mentioned cardiovascular disease. “It is increasingly being looked at as an inflammatory disease, with chronic immune activation as a significant contributor to the illness.” Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is becoming a clear-cut case. “It’s fairly obvious to many of us that ME/CFS is an inflammatory illness,” Snell said. The number of people this condition affects is significant. It is estimated there are between 836,000 and 2.5 million people afflicted with it in the U.S. alone. Snell also said between 60% and 90% of ME/CFS patients have fibromyalgia. Irritable bowel disease is a further frequent comorbidity. The telltale signs of ME/CFS are “profound fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, sleep abnormalities, autonomic manifestations, pain, and other symptoms that are made worse by exertion of any sort.”* Sound like fibromyalgia? “Very rarely do we see patients that have symptoms of ME/CFS that don’t have symptoms of fibromyalgia,” Snell said. Since it’s rare for a doctor to see an ME/CFS patient at the inception of the illness, “An estimated 84 to 91% of people with ME/CFS have not yet been diagnosed, meaning the true prevalence of ME/CFS is unknown,” he added. We are hearing more and more conversations about immune systems. With COVID-19, more people seem to be paying attention to building their immune systems in hopes of staying well. Many people who have had COVID-19 are experiencing long-term aftereffects, including significant, ongoing fatigue. We are hearing people say, “My immune system is weak;” “I’m

trying to build up my immune system,” and “It all comes down to immunity.” Snell explained, “The immune system is incredibly complex.” But he did identify steps that are seen frequently in disease. “We have inflammation.” “We have an immune response and then all the consequences of that are associated with an extended immune reaction that can ultimately lead even to autoimmune illnesses as well.” HIV is the “classic chronic immune activation illness,” Snell said, “There is a lot of inflammation in HIV.” Reflecting back to other epidemics of the viral nature, Snell said, “If you survive[d] Ebola, there is a good chance you are coming down with a compromised immune system and symptoms that look very much like ME/CFS.” The same goes for the aftermath of SARS, as the data “shows people are still suffering symptoms years later that they can’t relate back directly to the illness itself.” Snell places importance on truly evaluating symptoms rather than the “diagnosis.” As most of us know, symptoms can be explained to three different doctors and we may get three different diagnoses. For ME/CFS and fibromyalgia, “very often we are looking at symptoms on the same spectrum.” Symptoms that are most common with ME/CFS include tiredness, fatigue, pain, dizziness, “brain fog,” and sleep-related problems. Pain is a “predominant feature of fibromyalgia,” Snell said. “We hear about a lot of headaches and sometimes patients will describe it as a migraine; some-

times patients will describe it as a tension headache,” Snell said. Occasionally Snell himself suffers from migraine. He too has learned to identify triggers, establish wellness practices, and has the added layer of compassion for being able to relate to those with migraine. With brain fog, Snell said patients “can’t think, they can’t form sentences.” He said brain fog is being seen in a segment of COVID-19 patients. It’s expected that the COVID-19 pandemic will allow for additional research of ME/CFS including “access to cadavers, which very rarely happens with ME/CFS and the ability to track people longterm,” he said. He also stated that there is a “strong probability that there will be the first animal model. Once you have an animal model it really speeds up the research process to identify aspects of the illness that are difficult to talk about, difficult to identify, and also to try out potential treatments.” Since ME/CFS is rarely identified at onset, unfortunately a diagnosis of ME/CFS can take years to receive and even more time following it to be recognized by the medical community. Given these factors, “research suggests it’s most common in people between 40 and 60 years of age,” although no age group is excluded, Snell said. When a child is diagnosed with ME/CFS, they “tend to do better.” Although ME/CFS does not go away, it has been suggested that children learn to adapt and deal with the illness. WorkWell Foundation offers the Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) to assist in measuring ME/CFS.

Join a community of passionate volunteers Volunteer training sessions hosted by The Elizabeth Hospice The Elizabeth Hospice invites individuals interested in helping adults and children facing the challenges associated with a lifelimiting illness and those grieving the death of a loved one to a free volunteer orientation session via Zoom video conferencing. Hospice volunteers are an important part of the care team at The Elizabeth Hospice and have an opportunity to make a real difference in someone’s life. Attendees will learn about a wide variety of virtual and in-

person opportunities throughout San Diego County and Southwest Riverside County, including: serving as a patient companion, providing caregiver respite, performing aromatherapy, sewing Cuddle Bears, officiating at veteran pinning ceremonies, and much more. Information will be provided on both the application and training process. An email address and a device with a camera interface are needed to participate in the training session or attendees can join by

phone. Prospective volunteers can choose from the following dates: Sept. 21, noon to 1 p.m.; Oct. 7, 10-11 a.m.; Oct. 18, noon to 1 p.m.; Oct. 27, 4-5 p.m.; Nov. 4, 10-11 a.m.; or, Nov. 17 from noon to 1 p.m. To ensure a place at the volunteer orientation session, please contact the Volunteer Department at (800) 797-2050 or send an email to volunteer@ehospice.org. Submitted by The Elizabeth Hospice.

WorkWell’s test is performed on a bike with the test lasting from 8 to 12 minutes, with the patient “only at their peak for a minute or two of that time,” Snell said. The test is tried and true – a very wellestablished test. The research and guidelines for interpreting results has all been done in the category of heart disease. Snell said the CPET is looking at “the anaerobic threshold – the level above which you’re going into uncharted territory.” Once you’ve gone into uncharted territory – symptoms commonly appear. Snell explained that many patients they see have chronotropic incompetence (in layman’s terms: a blunted heart rate). Chronotropic incompetence is “the inability of the heart to increase its rate commensurate with increased activity or demand and is common in patients with cardiovascular disease.”** “Their heart rate is never going to go up to its predictive maximum,” Snell said. “So, if you keep trying, you could absolutely be at your limit but you’re still way below your target heart rate.” This too is common for fibromyalgia patients. Snell said many migraine patients experience this as well. “A lot of people with migraines are on beta blockers which do cap your peak heart rate,” he explained. “So normal recommendations for exercise don’t apply to anybody on beta blockers.” Snell emphasized the key necessity of staying aware of how you feel, “so keep track of what you were doing the day before

you got PEM (post-exertion tiredness).” These would be denoted “triggers.” These would be the “activities that take more than aerobic energy to perform, so you’re going into that anaerobic zone which occurs at much lower workloads in people with ME/CFS,” he said. It’s believed that ME/CFS patients don’t use oxygen well, even though the oxygen is available. “We think it’s a metabolic illness,” Snell said. “They are not able to fully utilize the oxygen that’s available to them.” Snell underscored the importance of living a healthy lifestyle, “A healthy diet never did anyone any harm,” he said. “We know that it’s beneficial for the immune system. So that’s a good thing to do.” He has found that the people that “cope best with ME/CFS and bring some normalcy to their lives are people who recognize what brings on the symptoms, and they avoid PEM.” It requires a patient to be mindful of the activities they are performing each day (no matter how big or small), acknowledge how they are feeling later that day and the days that follow, and adjust accordingly. “If you don’t trigger that inflammatory response and that immune response you’ll function at a much higher level and you’ll avoid a lot of the negative symptoms,” Snell said. He does understand that modifying life in this way poses restrictions and doesn’t allow a person to do the things they may want to do. Snell had a good analogy. “You’re going to have to pay back essentially the loan. You’ve borrowed against future energy consumption and you’re going to need to pay that back.” “Having sympathy for yourself as well,” is crucial, Snell said. “You have to recognize that you’re sick and it’s not your fault.” *Beyond Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Redefining an Illness, Report Guide for Clinicians, Institute of Medicine. **Brubaker, P.

Fellowship Program seeks applicants for public service

Daniel Soltero participated in WRCOG’s inaugural Public Service Fellowship Program, working at the City of Murrieta. Valley News/Courtesy photos

Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

College seniors, recent graduates and graduate students are being offered an opportunity to serve a fellowship with one of the many WRCOG (Western Riverside Council of Governments) member agencies. The Public Service Fellowship Program was launched in 2016 to invest in young professionals interested in public sector careers. Daniel Soltero, of Riverside, was part of the first WRCOG Fellowship Cohort with a placement at the City of Murrieta. After graduating with his Bachelor of Arts, Public Policy degree from UC, Riverside, he was interested in city management, urban/regional planning, and engineering and working at the City Manager’s office provided him with miscellaneous projects and a capstone project from the planning department. He now works at WRCOG. “In 2016 as I was nearing graduation, I began looking for internships, fellowships and entry-level positions in the government sector so that I could transition from school to a job,” Soltero said. “The Fellowship offered a paid position at a local government agency that would allow me to apply my education and gain firsthand work experience right out of school. The Fellowship Program mentioned professional growth opportunities, and as something that was not necessarily taught at UCR. I was particularly interested in professional development.” To date, the program has trained more than 75 Fellows, contributing thousands of hours of service to WRCOG member agencies on a variety of projects. Graduates of

As a WRCOG Fellow, Alma Ramirez was included in the October 2018 State Water Project Tour.

Alma Ramirez completed WRCOG’s Public Service Fellowship Program at Eastern Municipal Water District and is currently employed by EMWD.

the program are prepared to begin their career of choice and 64% of alumni are now working throughout Western Riverside County. This supports the program’s effort to contribute to the future local, public-sector workforce. Others have pursued advanced degrees with a renewed knowledge of a specific career path. Recruitment for the 2021-2022 Fellowship cohort is active, with applications due by Sept. 13. Placement at one of WRCOG’s member agencies is accomplished by matching where the interests and abilities of the selected Fellow are and pairing that with available opportunities. Fellow interviews and host agency matching will take place in late September with program onboarding in early October. The nine-month Fellowship Program commitment begins in midOctober and ends in July 2022. All Fellows are compensated at $17.50 per hour and will be scheduled to work 20-30 hours

per week. Additionally, WRCOG hosts monthly professional development sessions, which provide informational and networking opportunities for participants. Alma Ramirez, of Riverside, was part of the 2018-2019 Fellowship Program, assigned to Eastern Municipal Water District where she is currently employed. She applied for the program because she believed it offered her a great opportunity to gain experience and connections within the public sector. “The most pleasant surprise from the experience was being considered, months after the Fellowship concluded, for the position I am in now,” she said. “As a Fellow, I let my work and overall

persona speak for itself. I strongly believe that it is the reason why I serve in the role I am in today. During my time as a fellow at EMWD, I felt as though I was seen and included as an official part of the team. My peers would often forget my role was temporary and that of a Fellow. Oftentimes, I assisted the department in key projects and was not afraid to give input as I knew that it would be well received.” Like Soltero, Ramirez earned her bachelor’s degree in public policy from the UC, Riverside. But following her graduation in 2015 but continued her education and completed a master’s degree in Public Administration from California Baptist University in 2018. “My education helped me have

some understanding of the many moving parts to local government,” she said. “In my role as a Fellow, I worked in legislation and public affairs. Having a background and understanding in public policy helped me dive right into the legislation portion of my assigned duties. The various courses taken as I earned my degree in Public Administration helped me develop as a young professional as I partook in various community and stakeholder events on behalf of EMWD.” Soltero said that during the Fellowship Program, he assisted City staff that were working on a regional energy project that the see FELLOWSHIP, page B-7

The little club that could Marti Treckman SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Clubs and service organizations have suffered during a year and a half of COVID-19, unable to hold their usual fundraising enterprises and charitable community activities. But one small Rotary club went “above and beyond” and continued to give back to its community in spite of the restrictions imposed on it. President Myra Allen became president of the Temecula Sunrise Rotary Club in the middle of the worst of the pandemic. But that did not stop her from giving the members of the club many opportunities to serve. Without Myra’s support and direction, the club might never have survived the year. Temecula Sunrise, like all Rotary clubs, suffered more than a year of setbacks because of the COVID-19 pandemic, from March 2020 throughout the rest of Myra’s term, which ran from July 1, 2000, to June 30, 2021. Many meetings, community projects and fundraisers were canceled, but because of Myra’s outstanding leadership, the club was able to hold its meetings on Zoom, thanks to the expertise of president-elect Jon Grimm, participate in many Rotary District

projects, and donate time to many local charitable organizations which were also struggling during the pandemic, including the Community Mission of Hope (CMOH), SAFE, Oak Grove Center, Jacob’s House and several Mexicali projects. The club’s main fundraiser, the 33rd annual 5K-10K Run through the Vineyard, was postponed, then postponed again and again. Safety Town, one of its most important community services, had to be canceled in 2000, then again in 2001. The same was true for other

important club efforts, including its illustrious literacy program. Treasurer Roger Weber observed, “Despite the resignations of several members and the cancellation of our major fundraiser and other customary events, Myra kept the Club engaged with ‘Service above Self.’ She continued to hold Zoom meetings and have District leaders attend in person or via Zoom. Two Zoom meetings were international in scope. She reached out to several groups - SAFE, Jacob’s House, Community Mission of Hope, Oak Grove Center - and made donations of funds or volunteer hours of work. She inducted two new members, accepted four grants from the District and other nonprofits, kept the Chaparral Interact Club functioning despite high school closure, and kept the Christmas Dinner event alive with 900 drive-thru meal pickups. She became a Paul Harris Fellow and reversed the Club Foundation’s downward trend by placing it on a slow growth, sustaining basis.” Her sponsor Mark Sitar added, “Myra has kept us engaged in community projects such as Bus Bench cleanup, Jacob’s House, CMOH, gift bags for seniors at Fountain Glen with our Interact students and has done so cheerfully during

very trying times. She was the right person at the right time to be our President. A true cheerleader. As her sponsor, I couldn’t be more proud of her.” Members attended by Zoom various district informational and training sessions, such as District Assembly and District Conference. Some members also attended Rotary Leadership Training “RLI” sessions. Other innovative efforts started by Myra included sponsoring Oak Grove’s MISTT (Most Improved Student Tales of Transformation) program and attending once a month via Zoom the MISTT celebration. Temecula Sunrise applied for the District 5330 Mask Grant and was awarded $690. The club distributed 8,000 disposable masks this year to various organizations. The club received its five-year Milestone Certificate Award from the Temecula Chamber of Commerce via Zoom and picked up the club’s certificate in person. Club members helped and supervised the CHS Interact club in a community service project picking up trash in Temecula Old Town. Members also helped the Calicinto Ranch (they are dedicated to reaching out to at-risk and hurting

children) this past Christmas for their Calicinto Angel Tree Families, bringing joy and gifts to two families. The 26th Annual Community Christmas Dinner was a success, despite all the challenges, delivering 600 meals, giving out in all approximately 920 meals and giving out blankets to seniors. This all was made possible by the Temecula Sunrise Rotary Club, chair Mark and his wife Diane Sitar, in collaboration with the Temecula noon, New Generation and the Old Town Rotary clubs. As Myra left office July 1, she handed the gavel over to the new president Jon Grimm and said, “Our 2020 projects were all accomplished with teamwork by our club’s “Mighty Superstars,” who are very resourceful members. My wish for everyone is to have a bright, prosperous and healing year ahead. Remember to be grateful and thank those who are important to you.” Temecula Sunrise Rotary Club meets every Tuesday at 7:30 a.m. at Journey’s End at Pechanga and welcomes guests and new members. Attendance by Zoom is also offered. For more information or to make a reservation, (951) 698-6116.

SBA announces moratorium on bonafide place of business requirements for the 8(a) Business Development Program WASHINGTON – The U.S. Small Business Administration announced a moratorium on the requirement that participants in SBA’s 8(a) Business Development Program must establish a bonafide place of business in a specific geographic area in order to be awarded any construction contract through the 8(a) Program due to the ongoing challenges of COVID-19. The moratorium, effective Aug. 25, applies to all 8(a) construction contracts offered to the 8(a) Program between Aug. 25 and Sept. 30, 2022. “The SBA is committed to finding innovative ways to assist small businesses, particularly small dis-

advantaged businesses that have been historically underserved,” Bibi Hidalgo, Associate Administrator for SBA’s Office of Government Contracting and Business Development, said. “This change to the SBA’s 8(a) program -- our flagship contracting program born out of the Civil Rights movement – will help small businesses continue to drive our economic recovery and position themselves at the forefront of our nation’s reimagined economy.” During the moratorium, any 8(a) Program participant seeking an 8(a) construction contract, either on a sole source or competitive basis, will not be required to have or

establish a bonafide place of business in any specific geographic location. For purposes of 8(a) construction procurements, a bona fide place of business means a location where a participant regularly maintains an office that employs at least one full-time individual within the appropriate geographical boundary. The term does not include construction trailers or other temporary construction sites. The SBA believes this modification to the 8(a) Program will make it easier for small disadvantaged businesses to be eligible to be awarded 8(a) construction contracts.

FELLOWSHIP from page B-6

“Being able to think critically was valuable, because oftentimes I had no experience in the tasks I was assigned as a Fellow, but I was able to use what I had available and find a way to provide an acceptable product and complete the task at hand.” For those considering participation in the Public Service Fellowship Program, Soltero said it is a great “stepping off” point when transitioning from school life to work life and Ramirez says, “Do it!” “It provided opportunities to get firsthand work experience, allowed me to grow professionally, and it also provided a place to network where I met people and created future opportunities,” Soltero said. “I would advise anyone that is studying Political Science or Public Policy to get local government experience through this Fellowship or other similar opportunities to see all the various aspects of government and hopefully find the path that best suits them.”

Ramirez is a strong advocate for the program and credits it 100% as the reason she is in her current position at EMWD. “Take in the experience to the fullest, do not be afraid to contribute ideas, and do not be afraid to ask questions,” Ramirez advises future Fellows. Councils of Governments (COGs) are voluntary associations that represent member local governments, mainly cities and counties that seek to provide cooperative planning, coordination, and technical assistance on issues of mutual concern that cross jurisdictional lines. In this sense, COGs serve to develop consensus on many issues that need to be addressed in a subregional or regional context. Completed applications must be submitted to fellowship@wrcog. us by 5 p.m., Sept. 13. For more information, www.wrcog.us/169/ Fellowship. Questions can be directed to Rachel Singer at rsinger@wrcog.us or (951) 405-6754.

City was participating in as part of a WRCOG program. A few years later, when he was hired by WRCOG, he worked on the same project for the City of Murrieta but on behalf of WRCOG. “It was encouraging to see how the projects I worked on during the Fellowship would benefit me once I had a full-time position at WRCOG,” he said. Soltero said his UCR degree enhanced his Fellowship experience as it provided him with the basic knowledge of how government operates at the federal, state and local levels; what their responsibilities are; how they work together to provide public services; and how policies are made that ultimately govern our society. “The public policy degree, as you might assume, forces one to think critically and consider the various impacts that projects or public policies may have on various populations, businesses and the environment,” Soltero said.

Firms participating in the 8(a) Program can email questions to their local servicing District Office or visit www.sba.gov/ federal-contracting/contractingassistance-programs/8a-businessdevelopment-program. About the 8(a) Business Development Program The SBA certifies small businesses considered to be socially and economically disadvantaged under its nine-year 8(a) Business Development Program. The 8(a) program helps these firms develop and grow their businesses through one-to-one counseling, training workshops, management and technical guidance. It also provides access to government contracting opportunities, allowing them to become solid competitors in the

federal marketplace. About the U.S. Small Business Administration The U.S. Small Business Administration makes the American dream of business ownership a reality. As the only go-to resource and voice for small businesses backed by the strength of the federal government, the SBA empowers entrepreneurs and small-business owners with the resources and support they need to start, grow or expand their businesses, or recover from a declared disaster. It delivers services through an extensive network of SBA field offices and partnerships with public and private organizations. To learn more, visit www.sba.gov.

Week One high school football recap from around the valley JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

The high school football season entered Week One and even with the fallback from COVID-19 taking more and more games away from CIF Southern Section teams, most local teams are trying to hold steady with business as usual on the gridiron. Just down the freeway, Corona had to cancel their first two games because of COVID-19 protocols, Rancho Cucamonga had to cancel their season opener against Roosevelt and Centennial had to cancel their football game against Mater Dei. In Temecula, Great Oak (1-1) got off to a good start when they took the opening kickoff and drove to the Roosevelt 13, but an interception in the end zone deflated things. The Mustangs turned around and capped a seven play, 75-yard drive with a 15-yard touchdown run and then took a 10-6 lead into the half when kicker Logan South drilled a 40-yard field goal. Roosevelt (0-1) appeared to have tied the game at 13 in the fourth quarter on another South field goal, but a personal foul on the Wolfpack gave the Mustangs a first down on Great Oak’s 11yard line. Great Oak senior quarterback Sean Givens would score on a five-yard touchdown run with 47 seconds to play as the Wolfpack defeated Roosevelt, 20-17, giving first year coach Ryan Garcia his first victory. Givens led the Wolfpack gaining 94 yards on 20 carries and completing 11 of 23 passes for 90 yards. Garcia has been a teacher and coach at Great Oak since 2008 and has six children with his wife Aliah (also a teacher at GOHS). Before coaching at Great Oak, Garcia coached at Santa Fe High School from 1996-2007. Also a pole-vaulting coach, Ryan will be taking over as the head track and field coach as well. “I’m very excited for the direction of our football program,” Garcia said. “I’m looking forward to seeing the transformation of our athletes in the classroom and on the field. The kids have worked hard all summer and are excited to compete. Our schedule this year will be a great test for our program, and we are ready for the challenge and opportunity to get better.” Over in Menifee, the Vista Murrieta Broncos bounced back from a loss to Norco in their season opener last week by defeating Heritage 48-6 in a nonleague football matchup. Vista Murrieta quarterback Brady Jones and tight end Ezekiel Vestal connected on a pair of touchdowns in the first half as Jones completed 11 of his 19 passes for 81 yards total. Vestal’s two touchdowns were the only two catches he had in the game. Senior running back Gavin Galzote contributed to the offense, rushing for 94 yards on six carries. He had a 46-yard touchdown on his first carry of the game before scoring a 12-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Matthew Cal-

dera of Vista Murrieta contributed with a 37-yard touchdown within the first 38 seconds of the second half and Grant Wayne added a score from the five-yard line. Heritage relied heavily on the run game, which had limited success outside of a 47-yard run, and a touchdown by Angelo Serena. He finished the game with 61 yards on 22 carries. Quarterback Hayden Lara contributed to the run game with 58 yards on eight carries. He completed his only two passes to Elijah Smith for 22 yards. Murrieta Mesa opened their season at home as Beaumont’s Christopher Cooper found the end zone four times from the air Friday night, leading the Cougars to a 42-27 victory over the Rams. The sophomore completed 25 of 37 attempts for 335 yards in the win. Murrieta Mesa came out of the first half scoring on their opening possession, but Beaumont answered with touchdowns in the third and fourth quarter to secure the victory. Gabriel Nunez led the Beaumont receivers with 12 receptions for 137 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while Armando Cuellar rushed for 83 yards on 18 attempts. Murrieta Mesa quarterback Ty Albao went 21 of 35 in the air for 274 yards, while the receiving duo of Jacob Van Patton and Isiah Rivas had almost 200 yards between the two of them. Jalen Ford led the Rams rushing efforts with 16 carries for 76 yards. In Moreno Valley, Rancho Verde, who did not look like the Mustangs of old, fell 41-7 to Citrus Valley (1-0) behind a stellar performance by quarterback Hunter Herrera. With 5 TDs on the night, Herrerra threw for 229 yards and five touchdowns, including four in the first half. Junior running back Jeremiah Claiborne gained 123 yards on the ground and senior receiver Sergio Cervantes hauled in eight passes for 108 yards – all in the first half. Brock Lium, who only caught four passes, found three of those passes on his way to the end zone. The Mustangs didn’t find the end zone until the game’s last play, when running back Rickey Renwrick (30 carries, 121 yards) crashed in from the 10-yard line. The Temescal Canyon football team has been susceptible to big plays this season, so a win is never a sure thing. As their defense held strong late in the game, Eisenhower’s offense was stuffed twice on fourth downs to preserve a 24-23 nonleague win this past Thursday, Aug. 26. Despite the loss for Eisenhower, the evening also was a victory for the Eagles. Eisenhower was among a handful of Inland teams who did not play in the spring. Thursday marked the program’s first game in 21 months. Temescal Canyon (2-0) was led by Koa Apana, who completed 10 of 19 passes for 137 yards and led the Titans with 98 yards on 12 carries.

CIF Southern Section boys water polo watch list released JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

With an almost two-year hiatus, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, boys’ water polo players are eager to see if they will sink or swim in the standings as their fall season gets underway. Top programs like Chaparral and Temecula Valley, out of the Southwestern League, look to be contenders again this year, as well as Murrieta Mesa. As the new school year sets in, many local teams are going to have to embrace the challenges ahead with playing through the unknown circumstances surrounding the current landscape provided by the coronavirus pandemic. Of course, with the recent release of the 2021-

2022 CIF Southern Section Watch List, as selected by the CIF-SS Boys’ Water Polo Advisory Committee, the excitement in the valley is surely mounting. Heritage High School also looks to match their success from 2019 and are one of the top teams to watch in the CIF-Southern Section Division 6 polls, along with Paloma Valley, Lakeside and Tahquitz. The newly formed “Open” Division will feature the top 8 teams and may come from teams in any division. The top 8 teams selected to the Open Division will be finalized during the playoffs seeding meeting October 29. Other local schools mentioned in the top 10 of their division in the high school boys’ water polo

Temecula D-Bat facility to host Labor Day baseball camp JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

As summer comes to an end, it’s a good time to start thinking about shaking the rust off for many of those youth baseball and softball players out there with the fall season approaching. The D-Bat baseball and softball hitting facility in Temecula will be hosting an upcoming Labor Day camp Monday, September 6, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for players ages 13 and under. The camp will focus on hitting, sliding, fielding, throwing, baserunning, games and more. “It is always exciting for our staff to be able to give the community something extracurricular to do, especially for the young softball and baseball players,” Matt Hinds, general manager of D-Bat in Temecula, said. While positive cases are on the rise, the staff at D-Bat continues to restructure their operating procedures as a means to help slow

the spread of COVID-19, while still giving families’ children the chance to swing a bat, throw a ball, and be in a social environment. “We will continue taking every step necessary to ensure the safety of our customers while they are in our facility,” Hinds added. The D-Bat staff is always looking for ways to improve the experience for players and their families and consistently hold camps for players of all skill levels. For those who sign up for the Labor Day camp, the price is $50 per player. Campers are asked to bring a sack lunch, water and their own personal gear; cleats are not required. For more information on the Temecula D-Bat, 26201 Ynez Road, Suite 103, or to sign up for camps, visit www.dbattemecula.com, call (951) 386-3228 or email Matt Hinds at matthinds@ dbattemecula.com.

Vista Murrieta downs La Costa Canyon in preseason opener JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

The Vista Murrieta Lady Broncos opened their volleyball season with a home match against Carlsbad’s La Costa Canyon last week. Behind big plays from junior outside hitter Claire Little, the Lady Broncos (1-1) swept the Mavericks 3-0 (25-21, 25-17, 2511). The return to the court gives hope to the local area teams that a full season will get played amid a pandemic that keeps changing course. Following their win over La Costa Canyon, Vista Murrieta lost in a turnaround match late last week in a home nonconference match against the Marymount Lady Sailors (Los Angeles) by a score of 3-1. The Sailors (3-0) will now prepare for this week’s challenge against La Costa Canyon. The

Mavericks enter the non-league challenge with a 6-2 record. Next up for the Lady Broncos, they will encounter the Mira Costa Mustangs (Manhattan Beach) in a non-league challenge early this week. Vista Murrieta will attempt to move on its 1-1 season record. The Mustangs enter the challenge with a 2-3 record after their 3-2 non-league loss to Village Christian (Sun Valley). The Lady Broncos will open league play on the road Tuesday, September 14, against the Chaparral Lady Pumas at 5:30 p.m. Photos and sports scores/stats/ highlights can be submitted to sports@reedermedia.com.

Virtual school becomes a reality in San Jacinto

Kristine Ramirez virtually engages middle school students in a social studies lesson at SJ Tech Aug. 25.

San Jacinto Technology Institute Principal Ken Swanson and Instructional Coach Carrie Barnett are putting Valley News/Diane A. Rhodes photo the finishing aesthetic touches on SJUSD’s newest school.

Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The San Jacinto Technology Institute was in the planning stages for a few years before the pandemic helped to accelerate its opening. The timing also aligned with the opening of the new Monte Vista Middle School site. When the old site was repurposed as a new home for the San Jacinto Leadership Academy that campus was quickly and easily transformed to accommodate virtual learning. The new school’s principal, Ken Swanson, who also heads San Jacinto Unified School District’s alternative high schools – Mountain View and Mountain Heights Academy – was assisted in getting things up and running by Instructional Coach Carrie Barnett and Office Manager Jennifer Robinson. Swanson said virtual learning options have been in place at the alternative high school for the past six years. “We learned important lessons during our mandated distance learning due to COVID-19 restrictions. Some of our students and families found great success learning online,” Swanson said. “We are dedicated to supporting our students who need something different from the traditional school model. Our students are accepted as they come to us, and it is our job to help them achieve their goals.” SJUSD Superintendent Dr. David Pyle said he was pleased to see SJ Tech open in time for the current school year. He said the school board officially adopted the name in July and structurally there wasn’t much that needed to be done to the campus, other than the process of rebranding. “It has been a very positive transition,” he said. “Our needs for this type of school elevated because of COVID. It was able to be developed faster than we expected because we were no longer entering the unknown. Families learned and understood how this could work. Ken was incredible, willing to take all this on, because we didn’t know what it would look like.” As of Aug. 25, SJ Tech had 426 students enrolled in grades K-8. High school students can attend the virtual offerings at Mountain Heights Academy.

“Other schools are limited by class space, but we aren’t,” Swanson said. “The teacher to student ratio stays the same so our enrollment is only limited by the number of teachers we can bring onboard. All teachers are vetted by district personnel; all have good experience and are masters of their craft.” Second grade teacher Janaye Phelps was named SJUSD Teacher of the Year for 2020-2021 and Swanson said he was thrilled to “steal her away from Record Elementary” where she taught for the past 14 years. That campus is adjacent to SJ Tech. Two teachers per grade level are currently assigned for first through fifth grades and middle school grades have four in the rotation, with two more joining soon. There are two teachers dedicated to independent study, which differs from the live daily virtual learning model. The latter is far more popular, Swanson said. He did add that because SJ Tech is using the same curriculum as the rest of the district, there is continuity should a student decide to return to in-person learning. Most of the current student body have transferred from other schools in the district although instruction is open to anyone regardless of the school’s proximity. Pyle said that nearby Nuview Union School District doesn’t have an independent study program in place, which is now a requirement for the 20212022 school year. Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 130 into law July 9. The bill requires all school districts to offer independent study as an education option. Barnett joined SJUSD in 2018 as a Teacher on Special Assignment (TOSA) in Educational Technology, providing troubleshooting, coaching, in-classroom support and professional learning to teachers. She started her teaching career at Corona-Norco USD in 2006. When the opportunity arose to work with Swanson for the opening of SJ Tech, she was happy to be involved and has enjoyed watching it take shape. She said the library space, staffed by Destiny Renfro, is currently being used for materials distribution. There are paper components to the students’ virtual curriculum so when they enroll, families stop by

the center to pick up books, a laptop computer, headphones and other needed items. Barnett said every day there is a delivery of technology, materials (digital and physical) or furniture to the campus and she looks forward to the time when the campus will be ready to greet students who want to visit for scheduled activities. “We want to make sure it’s a very welcoming environment – we want it to be polished,” she said. “We want to meet the needs of the parents while making sure they feel comfortable having their children here.” Swanson, who has worked at SJUSD since 1995, agreed, saying, “We want the ambiance to be right for the kids.” Barnett said the campus will eventually have learning labs, optional afternoon opportunities for small groups to come on campus and collaborate, in-person interventions and tutors. Swanson added that the area that housed locker rooms for the Leadership Academy students will be transformed into learning lab areas that will contain multiple stations for different types of activities, emphasizing, “I want students to learn online at home and then come on campus to see their friends and socialize and have fun.” Independent study teacher Nicole Bourbeau works with students in grades 2-5. This is her fifth year working with students in an online format, but she has been a teacher for 21 years, 15 of them at SJUSD. “Teaching this way was always a challenge but Zoom has helped a lot,” she said. “It helps to connect with the students. It helped in a sense when all students had to resort to distance learning because parents got involved and there continues to be lots of communication, which is great. Every child is different, so the beautiful part of independent study is that it gives options to fit lifestyles and needs of the families and the students.” Along with some of the technology that was created and refined during mandatory distance learning, SJ Tech has taken steps to include even more innovative applications to help teachers continue to engage students on a regular basis.

The transparent, illuminated writing glass surface with an integrated camera, allows him to write on the board while facing his students, which is essential for distance and blended learning. Next on the horizon is choosing the new school’s mascot. The board selected the name for SJ Tech but

now it’s time for the students to get involved and be part of the process. Swanson said because enrollment continues to expand, he has delayed the voting but expects it will start soon. For more information, sjti.sanjacinto.k12.ca.us.

UC Riverside to participate in deep tech Palomar’s fall semester consortium across western US begins as some inCity News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

UC Riverside will be part of a consortium of seven research universities that will advance new technologies and incubate emergent companies that can move breakthrough discoveries from the lab to the marketplace, officials announced Aug. 25. A $15 million grant from the National Science Foundation will establish I-Corps Hub: West Region. It will be led by the USC Viterbi School of Engineering in partnership with UC Riverside, UCLA, Caltech, the University of Colorado Boulder, the Colorado School of Mines, the University of New Mexico and the University of Utah. For the past six years, those universities have trained more than 925 entrepreneur teams through their participation in the NSF ICorps program.

“The Innovation Corps Hub designation builds on the innovation and creativity of USC and our partner institutions to ensure technologies are commercialized and lead to economic growth and greater quality of life,” USC Provost Charles Zukoski said. “The principal investigator of the I-Corps Hub, USC Viterbi School of Engineering Dean Yannis C. Yortsos, has the experience and enthusiasm to ensure that this is a successful endeavor.” The schools will lay the groundwork to launch and support startups, both university and non-university, through training, mentoring and programming throughout the western United States. Officials said the consortium will also foster a culture of inclusion that will enable the creation of successful tech ventures by engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs who are people of color, and from many diverse backgrounds.

“For 10 years, the NSF I-Corps program has been critical to fostering the creative spirit and entrepreneurship that enables NSF-funded research to be translated into new products and services and contribute to the nation’s economy,” NSF Deputy Assistant Director for Engineering Linda Blevins said. “I am delighted to launch the first of our I-Corps Hubs, which will form the foundation for strengthening and scaling this innovation ecosystem. The I-Corps Hubs will bring together diverse scientists and engineers, entrepreneurs, business leaders and industry partners from every part of our country, providing everyone with an opportunity to solve key challenges and spur economic growth, including new startups and new jobs,” she said. As the program grows, the hub will also add new university affiliates each year.

person classes resume SAN MARCOS – The fall semester kicked off at Palomar College Aug. 23 with thousands of students enrolled in traditional, in-person classes as well as online distance learning options that remain widely available. Nearly a year and a half after the spring 2020 semester was entirely transitioned to an online format and employees moved to remote work, the San Marcos campus and education centers in Fallbrook, Escondido and Rancho Bernardo, came alive again following a careful repopulation plan governed by the college’s health team. “It is an honor to welcome many of our students back to campus, and we look forward to seeing our students succeed in a learning environment that has been redesigned for increased safety, after such a long hiatus from in-person

instruction,” Palomar College Superintendent/President Dr. Star Rivera-Lacey said. “The health and safety of all of our students, faculty and staff remains our top priority.” Rivera-Lacey explained that administration and faculty began by identifying the courses that had not been offered recently due to the high level of difficulty in converting the courses to an online format, many of which were career technical education programs. The college also prioritized courses required for transfer and degree completion in deciding the course schedule. Regarding health and safety measures, the college is now requiring all students and employees, regardless of vaccination see PALOMAR, page C-5

The ‘New Normal’ may be authoritarianism

Julie Reeder PUBLISHER

I used to produce a radio show on KOGO AM600 in the 90s. Occasionally I was the guest host because the show’s host, Mason Weaver, had another engagement. On one of those shows I interviewed a father in Pennsylvania, if I remember correctly. I’ll never forget the topic. They were doing vaginal exams of the student girls ages 11 and 12 without any parental consent or warning. It was “for the health of the girls.” It didn’t take long for parents to get that school district in check, but how could they think that they had the right to do that? The truth is the government is always trying to overreach its constitutional boundaries and we have to constantly fight against it, not only for ourselves, but for our children and their children. It was about that same time that we were passing seat belt laws, car seat laws, helmet laws, etc. and the discussion in our culture was, “While this isn’t terribly intrusive,

and it is helpful, how far can the government go to force you to do something for your own safety?” The laws for children were based on the premise that we need to protect children in case their parents don’t care about them enough to do it themselves and the same with the laws for adults. That’s one of the reasons they were referred to as “nanny laws.” So the opposing argument was that we have to be careful to not give away so many of our civil rights that the government thinks they can order us to do whatever they want against our will. It’s amazing how the founding fathers knew that tension would exist, so they did what they could to safeguard against it. These days, for example, if you are sick, it is still legal to be responsible for yourself and refuse treatment and many people do seek “alternative” treatments for many ailments and diseases. You aren’t forced to use sunscreen, or take antibiotics if you’re sick, or take treatment if you have HIV, even though it is a communicable disease that has killed millions of people. Now we’ve gone from voluntary experimental vaccines to “show me your papers” in just a few months. Amazingly fast. Politicians never let the opportunity of a crisis pass them by. Xi Jinping instructed all his Communist leaders to take full advantage of the COVID pandemic to tighten their authoritarian rule, according to numerous public reports. Mandatory vaccines have remained controversial because of

the number of adverse reactions since the 80s in children especially. Billions of your tax dollars (instead of the pharmaceutical companies) have been paid out to a fraction of those parents who had the finances and years to fight for their children in court against much opposition. The Food and Drug Administration has a history of approving treatments and after four or five years of adverse effects, taking them back off the market. There are long lists of them if you look it up. Remember the Thalidomide babies? Pregnant mothers were prescribed it for morning sickness and it created devastating birth defects in babies until the FDA took it back off the market. Part of the natural process is that, as a culture, we have to discuss these things with everyone free to give their input. However, we have massive censorship going on, especially, right now, people with ideologies rather than real facts are guiding decisions relating to “factchecking” against doctors and professionals who actually have firsthand knowledge and know what they are talking about. One person said, “We have people who believe men can have babies, fact-checking and censoring science from doctors.” While massive censorship is happening across social media, the California legislature is trying to pass a vaccine passport bill forcing everyone who wants to work or participate in society to be “fully vaccinated” even against their will. In addition, despite what virologists and immunologists say, they aren’t giving consideration to the millions of people who have al-

ready had COVID and have natural immunity which is superior to the vaccines, and even though they are less likely to transmit COVID-19 than the vaccinated. Potential AB455 with Amendments as of 8/26/21 would require all employers, private and public to be “fully” vaccinated. AB455 bans people not fully vaccinated 12 years and older from entering any restaurant, bar, cafeteria, lunchroom, inn, hotel, motel, lodging establishment, other facility principally engaged in selling food or beverages for consumption on the premises, movie theaters, concert halls, sports arena, stadiums, gyms, spas or other entertainment and exhibition venues. Students would not be able to go to school, which has already started in some states across the country. The only possible exemptions would be medical and disability exemptions. Also, it will be up to the California Department of Public Health to define “Fully vaccinated.” Those with two jabs will likely not be “fully vaccinated” without every booster. So if you are not “fully vaccinated,” you pretty much can’t go inside anywhere other than the grocery store, the pharmacy and church (only because the courts already adjudicated that). In this totalitarian state we will be practicing medical fascism and discrimination and segregation will be the “new normal.” Because of COVID mandates, we have already lost 30% of our small businesses in California. They will again be impacted because, as of now, over 40% of

Californians will not be able to patronize these establishments and business owners will be the arm of the government to “check your papers” or they will be breaking the law. Businesses who are having trouble hiring people will have even more of a challenge finding “legal” employees and will certainly lose some of those they already have, not to mention they will be taking on the burden of liability, opening themselves up to Civil Rights and vaccine injury liability lawsuits. Employers will see workers’ compensation and insurance costs skyrocket. Again, we have to ask ourselves, “As a society, how much are we going to allow?” Where will it end? The removal of your right to drive? Buy food? Use of the internet? A decrease in your credit score? A social credit score that monitors everything you do like in China? A physical examination against your will and loss of medical insurance? Forced shots that make the pharmaceutical companies billions per year, protects them from liability and fills the coffers of politicians who take more money from them more than any other industry? Like any potential bill you think is a good or bad idea, call or write your Senator and Assembly person in the next week to let them know how you feel about it. They are there to represent you. UPDATE: This Toll Road Bill that they had put vaccine passport language in died on Monday, for the year. That doesn’t mean they won’t try and do a workaround some other way.

Powerful thinking doesn’t come from trying harder. It comes from the Holy Spirit. It gives us the power to have victorious thinking. 4. 2 Corinthians 10:5 “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” Rogue thoughts can be some of the worst things that pass through our minds. So we have to, through the power of the Holy Spirit, hold them captive and make them obedient to Christ, making them godly. 5. Colossians 3:1-3 “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above,

not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.” What would happen if you started thinking about heavenly and eternal things? Well, you’d probably stop worrying so much about the temporary things. Set your mind on Christ. You have the most heavenly thoughts when you think about him.

Cancer Patients’ Bill of Rights

Assemblymember Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

Approximately 187,000 Californians are diagnosed with

cancer each year. Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in our state, exceeded only by heart disease. Unfortunately, in many underserved areas there is a disconnect between recent medical advances and patient access to lifesaving quality care. There are hundreds of different types of cancer, requiring a vast array of complex treatments. Increasingly, cancer care is dependent on genetic and genomic testing individualized for each patient. Early diagnosis, appropriate choice of therapies and access to clinical trials are often keys to a lifesaving cure. With many cancer patients unable to benefit from these ad-

vances, it is imperative that the Legislature make clear its support for prioritizing timely access to expert care. That’s why I’m a proud supporter of Senate Concurrent Resolution 11 (SCR 11), which expresses support for the Cancer Patients’ Bill of Rights that proclaims cancer patients have the right to: a) Fully understand their diagnoses and be informed about treatment options in culturally appropriate and understandable languages b) Transparent and timely processes that ensure direct access to oncology specialists, diagnostic testing, and accurate interpretations of those tests

Here are five key verses about your thoughts and what they teach us: 1. Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.” Some guru in a hut didn’t invent positive thinking, nor did it come from the latest self-help book.

whole idea of positive thinking came from God himself. He is good, and all good thoughts stem from his goodness. 2.

Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Negative thinking is a daily battle, not for some of us but for all of us. Therefore, renewing our minds daily through prayer, worship, and Bible reading is absolutely essential. 3. 2 Timothy 1:7 “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and selfdiscipline.”

Three Marines from Riverside County among those killed in Kabul bombing

City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Three Marines from Riverside County have been identified among the 13 U.S. service members killed in a suicide bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, the U.S. Department of Defense confirmed. The deaths of Marine Lance Cpl. Dylan Merola, 20, of Rancho Cucamonga, Kareem Mae’Lee Grant Nikoui, a lance corporal from Norco, and Cpl. Hunter Lopez, the son of Riverside County sheriff’s Deputy Alicia Lopez and sheriff’s Capt. Herman Lopez, were officially confirmed by the DOD on a list published Saturday, Aug. 28, of those who died supporting Operation Freedom’s Sentinel noncombative evacuations Aug. 26 in Afghanistan. “California joins the nation in mourning the tragic loss of 13 U.S. service members, including those from California, and many other innocent victims in this heinous attack,” California Governor Gavin Newsom said. “Our heroic troops gave their lives to protect others amid harrowing and dangerous conditions, and we will never forget their bravery and selfless sacrifice in service to our nation.” Newsom ordered flags at all state buildings to be flown at half-staff in honor of the fallen heroes. Merola was a graduate of Los Osos High School. On Friday, students there honored him during the school’s first football game of the season by wearing red, white and blue. “Dylan was a beloved son, brother, grandson, great grandson, nephew, a great friend and a brave soldier who paid the ultimate sacrifice at the Abbey Gate at Ha-

mid Karzai International Airport during the evacuation,” friend Joseph Matsuoka wrote as part of a GoFundMe page for the family. Merola’s mother, Cheryl, told CBS2 that her son had only been in Kabul for less than two weeks and was planning to go to college and study engineering. She also recalled his final text message to her before the Thursday bombing that also killed at least 150 Afghans. “He wrote: ‘I won’t be able to talk to you for a little while, we’re being sent to a different location,’” his mother told CBS2. “‘I love you and I’ll talk to you soon.’ He was one of the best kids ever. Kind. Loving. Giving to every single person. He would give anything for anybody.” The city of Norco also mourned 20-year-old Nikoui. “The U.S. Marine, who graduated from Norco High School in 2019 and served in JROTC, was committed to serving his country and is survived by his mother, father and siblings,” city officials said. “Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui’s name will be enshrined on the ‘Lest We Forget Wall’ at the George A. Ingalls Veterans Memorial Plaza, which honors Norconians who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our nation.” Norco Mayor Kevin Bash said Nikoui died helping to save children and families of Afghans who had aided the U.S. government. “My understanding is that he rescued – per a sergeant that wrote the family – he rescued three families,” Bash told ABC7. “And he was in the process of saving children, translators that had worked for the U.S. government. He passed off a child and went back into the crowd and that’s when the bomb went off.”

Lance Cpl. Kareem Mae’Lee Grant Nikoui of Norco.

Cpl. Hunter Lopez of Indio.

Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Corona, praised Nikoui for his service, saying “words are incapable of expressing our grief and mourning for the loss of Lance Cpl. Nikoui and the other U.S. service members who were killed. “As a proud Marine, Lance Cpl. Nikoui and his unit put themselves in harm’s way in order to provide safety to others. That’s the definition of courage,” the congressman said. “That’s the embodiment of the Marine Corps motto, ‘Semper Fidelis.’ I have spoken to the Nikoui family and expressed my condolences. The burden they bear is unimaginable.” Norco High School Principal Robert Ibbetson told CBS2 his son was in the ROTC at the same time as Nikoui. “Just a good kid. Really had a strong energy about him and knew what he wanted to do,” Ibbetson said. “It was neat to see that kind of direction and drive and goalsetting.” Meanwhile, the Riverside Sheriff’s Association and surrounding community remembered Lopez, 22, of Indio. “We mourn the death of Hunter, who answered the call to serve, defend and protect our nation,” the association said in a statement. “Like his parents who serve our community, being a Marine to Hunter wasn’t a job; it was a calling. We are heartbroken to hear this sad news about Hunter, who chose to follow a life of service, selflessness, courage and sacrifice, like his parents.” Association officials said Hunter Lopez was a Riverside County Sheriff’s Explorer Scout with the Palm Desert Station from September 2014 to August 2017. “Hunter ... planned on becom-

ing a Riverside County sheriff’s deputy after returning from his current deployment. Today the entire law enforcement community stands with the Lopez family, friends, fellow Marines and all who loved him, praying for comfort, peace.” Desert Sands Unified School District issued a statement, saying Lopez was “a beloved student of our schools.” KESQ reported that Lopez attended La Quinta High School. The city of La Quinta issued a statement on its Facebook page, saying, “We are all so humbled by the service and ultimate sacrifice that Hunter gave to protect our country. He was a brave and selfless soldier who answered the call to be a United States Marine. Like his parents, Hunter wanted to help serve others and protect his community. Our City Council and staff ask the community to join us in prayer and support for the Lopez family, as they navigate through this difficult time.” The Nikoui family has announced plans to travel to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to receive his remains. The Lopez family has requested that donations in Hunter’s memory be made to the Riverside County Deputy Sheriff Relief Foundation in the name of the Lopez family. Donations can be sent to 21810 Cactus Ave., Riverside, CA 92518. The GoFundMe page for Merola’s family is at https://t.co/ E6eb9XoAhn?amp=1 and within days had already raised more than $13,000 toward a $15,000 goal to help with funeral expenses.

Gee, 23, of Sacramento, from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware Aug. 29 to meet with some of the families and then attend the transfer of the service members’ remains back to American soil. “The 13 service members that we lost were heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our highest American ideals and while saving the lives of others,” Biden said in a written statement released Aug. 28. “Their bravery and selflessness has enabled more than 117,000 people at risk to reach safety thus far.” “These fallen heroes answered the call to go into harm’s way to do the honorable work of helping others,” Gen. David H. Berger, commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, said. “We are proud of their service and deeply saddened by their loss.”

San Diego-area families able to escape Kabul, as bombing kills dozens City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Two more San Diego-area families that were trapped in the Kabul region of Afghanistan have successfully been evacuated from the country, a congressman said Friday, Aug. 27, while a Camp Pendleton Marine was identified as one of the casualties of a deadly suicide bombing attack. “Amidst the heartbreak of yesterday and the chaos that has gripped Afghanistan for weeks, we continue to make extraordinary progress in bringing our people home,” Rep. Darrell Issa, RBonsall, said in a statement. “It is an honor to help rescue and reunite families and loved ones, but we still have more work to do.” Issa was referring to an explosion that rocked the Kabul airport Thursday, Aug. 26, killing at least 60 Afghans and 13 U.S. military personnel. ISIS in Khorasan claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing. Answers for puzzle on page B-2

Nine Marines and one sailor based at Camp Pendleton were among the 13 U.S. service members killed in the bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, the U.S. Department of Defense confirmed Saturday, Aug. 28. The nine marines assigned to Camp Pendleton were: Staff Sgt. Darin T. Hoover, Cpl. Hunter Lopez, Cpl. Daegan W. Page, Cpl. Humberto A. Sanchez, Lance Cpl. Jared M. Schmitz, Lance Cpl. David L. Espinoza, Lance Cpl. Rylee J. McCollum, Lance Cpl. Dylan R. Merola and Lance Cpl. Kareem M. Nikoui. Navy Hospitalman Maxton W. Soviak Another 18 U.S. service members and 140 Afghans were wounded in the explosions, officials said. Issa said the two additional families evacuated Thursday night comprised seven people, three adults and four children. The latest families are among six El Cajon-area families who have

been extracted from Afghanistan. The first four evacuated included seven adults and 16 children. “We believe that most of the 20 total children are enrolled in school within the Cajon Valley Union School District, although exact numbers are not known at this time,” according to a statement from Issa Representative Jon Wilcox. “This has been an around-theclock operation, and individuals inside of government and outside of it deserve our deepest thanks.” Issa said. “But more members of our community still need our help. The mission is to bring our people home, and we will continue to do it.” San Diego County made national news last week as several dozen students and parents from East County were reported as trapped in Afghanistan after visiting extended family in the country this summer. The 20 students and 14 parents – who make up five families – requested assistance to fly home from the U.S. government. According to David Miyashiro, the

Cajon Valley Union School District superintendent, the children range in age from preschool to high school. San Diego County Supervisor Joel Anderson wrote a letter to President Joe Biden Thursday urging the State Department’s assistance in evacuating the families. “San Diego County is home to the most refugees in California, and I represent the large Middle Eastern community in the eastern part of the county,” he wrote. “I have heard from my constituents their anguish over family members and loved ones currently trapped in Afghanistan. “My constituents are rightfully concerned for the safety of these individuals and that they could be subjected to severe mistreatment, and potentially execution, by the Taliban now controlling that nation,” Anderson added. The Taliban, which ruled Afghanistan from 1996 until the U.S. invasion toppled the regime in 2001, continue to consolidate their hold over the country. The Taliban has worked with alQaida -- planners of the Sept. 11

attacks -- in the past, but has clashed with the Islamic State militants and terrorists known better as ISIS, who differ on the level of Islamic fundamentalist law and how it should be enforced, and how those who break that law should be punished. The ISIS-Khorasan attack during a time of Taliban takeover could well lead to infighting and possibly even civil war amongst the militant Islamist groups as the U.S. continues its withdrawal from the country. The tumult and chaos as the Taliban quickly took Kabul made it nearly impossible to secure a flight out of the country -- and that was before Thursday’s bombing. The families could not reach the airport even though they had plane tickets, Cajon Valley School Board President Tamara Otero told the Los Angeles Times. One additional family was able to secure passage out of the country earlier this week. Four students and two parents, along with one infant, returned home after stopping in another country, Miyashiro said.

State voter information guides for recall election delayed Some voters in the Sept. 14 gubernatorial recall election will receive state voter information guides after they received their ballots, due to a delay encountered by the State of California in mailing these guides. County voter information guides and vote-by-mail ballots have been mailed by Riverside County to all registered voters in the county. However, the state voter information guide, which contains candidate statements, was mailed out after that. Voters should have

received the state voter information guide in the mail by the date of this report. The State has indicated that the delay was caused in part by the 20-day public review period for the guide that is required under state law. The Riverside County Registrar of Voters would like to remind voters that the state voting information guide can also be found at voterguide.sos.ca.gov in the event that they do not receive their state guide. “The delay in mailing out state

voting information guides is a state issue beyond our control, but we want voters to know this information is available online and how they can access it,” Supervisor V. Manuel Perez, a member of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors ad hoc committee on the election process, said. “We encourage all registered voters to make their voice heard by casting a ballot in this statewide election.” Submitted by the Riverside County Registrar of Voters.

Hurricane Ida traps Louisianans, leaves power grid a shambles Rebecca Santana, Kevin McGill and Janet McConnaughey THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Rescuers set out in hundreds of boats and helicopters to reach people trapped by floodwaters and utility crews mobilized Monday after a furious Hurricane Ida swamped the Louisiana coast and made a shambles of the electrical grid in New Orleans and beyond in the sweltering, late-summer heat. One of the most powerful hurricanes ever to hit the U.S. mainland weakened into a tropical storm overnight as it pushed inland over Mississippi with torrential rain and shrieking winds, its danger far from over. Ida was blamed for at least one death — someone hit by a falling tree outside Baton Rouge — but with many roads impassable and cellphone service knocked out in places, the full extent of its fury was still coming into focus. Officials warned it could be weeks before power is fully restored. The hurricane “came in and did everything that was advertised, unfortunately,” Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said. All of New Orleans lost power right around sunset Sunday as the hurricane blew ashore on the 16th anniversary of Katrina, leading to an uneasy night of pouring rain and howling wind. When daylight came, streets were littered with tree branches and some roads were blocked. While it was still early, there were no immediate reports of the catastrophic flooding city officials had feared. “I had a long miserable night,” Chris Atkins, who was in his New Orleans home when he heard a “kaboom” and all the Sheetrock in the living room fell into the house, said. A short time later, the whole side of the living room fell onto his neighbor’s driveway. “Lucky the whole thing didn’t fall inward. It would have killed us,” he said. Four Louisiana hospitals were damaged and 39 medical facilities were operating on generator power, the Federal Emergency

Management Agency said. The governor’s office said over 2,200 evacuees were staying in 41 shelters as of Monday morning, a number expected to rise as people were rescued or escaped from flooded homes. Christina Stephens, a representative for the governor, said the state will work to move people to hotels as soon as possible so that they can keep their distance from one another. “This is a COVID nightmare,” Stephens said, adding: “We do anticipate that we could see some COVID spikes related to this.” Interstate 10 between New Orleans and Baton Rouge — the main east-west route along the Gulf Coast — was closed because of flooding, with the water reported to be 4 feet deep at one spot, officials said. An area just west of New Orleans got about 17 inches (43 centimeters) of rain in 20 hours, Greg Carbin of NOAA’s Weather Prediction Center tweeted. Still, it appeared that the levees that failed in 2005 during Hurricane Katrina held up in Ida, the governor said. “For the most part, all of our levees performed extremely well, especially the federal levees, but at the end of the day the storm surge, the rain, the wind all had devastating impacts,” Edwards said. “We

have water systems that are out. We have tremendous damage to homes and to businesses.” The rain and surge of seawater in the maze of rivers and bayous south of New Orleans threatened hundreds of homes. On social media, people posted their addresses and directed search-and-rescue teams to their attics or rooftops. The Louisiana National Guard said it activated 4,900 Guard personnel and lined up 195 highwater vehicles, 73 rescue boats and 34 helicopters. Local and state agencies were adding hundreds more. Jefferson Parish in suburban New Orleans knew of 500 people who said they were going to stay in areas that were flooded and began sending out dozens of boats to account for everyone and start rescuing them, Parish Council member Deano Bonano told WWL-TV. More than a million customers in Louisiana and Mississippi were without power, according to PowerOutage.US, which tracks outages nationwide. That left them without air conditioning and refrigeration in the dog days of summer. “We don’t know if the damage is extensive. We don’t know if the damage is something we can get up quickly,” Entergy New

Orleans CEO Deanna Rodriguez told WWL-TV. The hurricane twisted and collapsed a giant transmission tower in Jefferson Parish along the Mississippi River, and the wires fell into the river, causing widespread outages and halting river traffic, parish Emergency Management Director Joe Valiente said. The tower, which survived Katrina, is one of eight ways power is brought into New Orleans, and the failure of one of them might have led the others to shut down as well, Rodriguez said. Other areas were also in the dark. “One-hundred percent of the grid is smashed, hundreds of telephone poles snapped, trees hit power lines and just ripped them out,” Valiente told NPR. He said that the entire power grids collapsed in about 10 parishes and that it could take six weeks to fully restore power. Edwards said Sunday that 30,000 utility workers were in the state to help restore electricity. AT&T’s phone system was down across southeastern Louisiana. Many people resorted to using walkie-talkies. The governor’s office staff had no working phones. New Orleans’ levees underwent major improvements after Katrina, which breached the city’s flood defenses, caused catastrophic flooding and was blamed for 1,500 deaths. Ida posed its biggest

test since that disaster. Farther south, emergency officials had not heard from Grand Isle since Sunday afternoon. About 40 people stayed on the barrier island, which took the brunt of the hurricane and was swamped by seawater, Jefferson Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng told NBC. Ida’s 150 mph (230 kph) winds tied it for the fifth-strongest hurricane ever to hit the mainland. Its winds were down to 45 mph (72 kph) early Monday, and forecasters said it would rapidly weaken while still dumping heavy rain over a large area. In Mississippi’s southwestern corner, entire neighborhoods were surrounded by floodwaters, and many roads were impassable. Ida was expected to pick up speed Monday night before dumping rain on the Tennessee and Ohio River valleys Tuesday, the Appalachian Mountain region Wednesday and the nation’s capital Thursday. Forecasters said flash flooding and mudslides are possible along Ida’s path before it blows out to sea over New England Friday.

Woman sues Cedars-Sinai demanding that mother be given Ivermectin VALLEY NEWS STAFF

LOS ANGELES – A Hollywood woman is suing Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, alleging hospital doctors have wrongfully rejected her requests that her 75-year-old mother be given the powerful antiviral drug Ivermectin as her health continues to deteriorate due to the coronavirus, as reported by City News Service. “My mother is on death’s doorstep, she has no other options,” Sylvia Bagdassarian says in an affidavit in support of her Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit filed Friday, asking for a court order that the drug be given to her mother, Maria Rosa Bagdassarian. She said she has researched cases around the country where hospitals refused to give patients Ivermectin, only to be ordered to do so by the courts. She cites two such cases in which the sick patients recovered and eventually were released from the hospital. “My research indicates that the risks are infinitesimally small, especially when balanced against her chance of survival without further medical treatment,” Sylvia Bagdassarian said. Doctors across the country, including Dr. Pierre Kory in Wisconsin and Dr. Zelenko in New York, have successfully treated thousands of COVID patients early in their sickness with Ivermectin. Kory, a Critical Care (intensivist) lung specialist who testified before the U.S. Senate about Ivermectin, described it as miraculous and said, as a prophylaxis agent, “If you take Ivermectin, you will not get sick (with COVID).” He described how doctors have used it all over the world and in randomized trials where it has had overwhelming success. He also testified that it is extremely inexpensive and readily available all over the world. During the Senate testimony, Kory said, “Ivermectin won the Nobel Prize in 2015 for its impact on global health in the eradication

of parasitic diseases. It is proving to be an immensely powerful antiviral and anti-inflammatory agent. It is critical for its use in this disease.” Kory’s testimony is in direct opposition to naysayers who paint Ivermectin as mostly a medicine for horses. Proponents of Ivermectin point out that antibiotics are also used for horses. Ivermectin is safely used by humans all over the world. According to the Food and Drug Administration website, “Some forms of ivermectin are used in animals to prevent heartworm disease and certain internal and external parasites. It’s important to note that these products are different from the ones for people, and safe when used as prescribed for animals, only,” in addition to the weight differences. A Cedars-Sinai representative did not immediately reply to a request for comment from City News Service. Ivermectin is not yet recommended officially for use by the FDA for COVID-19, although it is being studied. Proponents of Ivermectin point out that while it has proven effective for COVID-19 both prophylactically and with direct treatment, it would put a barrier to the approval of Coronavirus vaccines, according to FDA protocols. If there is a medicine or a cure for a disease, the FDA is less likely to approve a vaccine. Maria Bagdassarian tested positive for COVID-19 Aug. 1 and was admitted that day to Cedars-Sinai, the suit states. She was placed in the intensive care unit and given high flow oxygen along with steroids, antibiotics and the drug Remdesivir for five days, the suit states. No improvement was seen in the woman and her condition deteriorated to the point she is now sedated, intubated and on a ventilator as her blood oxygen levels have decreased, the suit states. The hospital’s position is that there is nothing further that can be done

and that they can only “hope for the best,” the suit states. Sylvia Bagdassarian, as her mother’s guardian, has presented a prescription and requested many times that Cedars-Sinai give Ivermectin to her mother, but a hospital doctor responded that the drug was “not within the hospital protocols and would not help her mother,” the suit states. On Aug. 18, the doctor sug-

gested that Sylvia Bagdassarian “come in and say goodbye to her mother,” the suit states. “Based upon my mother’s current condition, there is no rational basis for the (Cedars-Sinai) to refuse to administer Ivermectin,” Sylvia Bagdassarian states in her affidavit. “For all intents and purposes, it represents her last chance to survive. If she is going to die anyway, then what is the

risk in giving her the chance to try Ivermectin?” Sylvia Bagdassarian offered to sign a waiver absolving the hospital of liability if it administered Ivermectin to her mother, but the doctors and administration still refused, the suit states. City News Service contributed to this report.

COURTS & CRIMES

RFK assassin Sirhan Sirhan granted parole, but release not guaranteed City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Sirhan Sirhan, who assassinated Sen. Robert F. Kennedy in 1968 in Los Angeles, has been recommended for parole on his 16th attempt, during a hearing that was absent any representation from the agency that prosecuted him -- the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. The decision does not automatically mean the 77-year-old Sirhan, who is imprisoned at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in Otay Mesa in San Diego County, will be released. The decision by a two-person parole panel will enter a 120-day review period, after which it will be forwarded to the governor, who will have 30 days to decide whether to uphold the decision, reject it or modify it. During the hearing, Kennedy’s youngest son, Douglas, spoke in favor of Sirhan’s release. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sent a letter to the board in support of parole. Six of Kennedy’s other seven living children issued a statement after the decision explaining they were “devastated that the man who murdered our father has been recommended for parole.” “Our father’s death is a very difficult matter for us to discuss publicly and for the many past decades we have declined to engage in the parole process,” the statement from former Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy II, D-Massachusetts, Courtney Kennedy, Kerry Kennedy, Christopher G. Kennedy, Maxwell P. Kennedy and Rory Kennedy said. “Given today’s unexpected recommendation by the California parole board after 15 previous decisions to deny release, we feel

compelled to make our position clear. We adamantly oppose the parole and release of Sirhan Sirhan and are shocked by a ruling that we believe ignores the standards for parole of a confessed, firstdegree murderer in the state of California. “Our father’s death impacted our family in ways that can never adequately be articulated and today’s decision by a two-member parole board has inflicted enormous additional pain. But beyond just us, six of Robert Kennedy’s nine surviving children, Sirhan Sirhan committed a crime against our nation and its people. He took our father from our family and he took him from America. “We are in disbelief that this man would be recommended for release. We urge the parole board staff, the full board and ultimately, Governor Newsom, to reverse this initial recommendation. It is a recommendation we intend to challenge every step of the way and we hope that those who also hold the memory of our father in their hearts will stand with us.” The hearing was not attended by anyone from the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. District Attorney George Gascon has set a policy against attending parole hearings for defendants who have served lengthy prison sentences beyond the required minimum term. His office took the position that the parole board has all the information it needs to decide if an inmate is suitable for release. Sirhan was convicted in April 1969 of first-degree murder and assault for the June 5, 1968, assassination of Democratic Sen. Robert Kennedy, 42, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Kennedy was speaking at the

hotel while moving closer to the Democratic presidential nomination. Five others were shot during the attack but survived. A Palestinian from Jordan, Sirhan was initially sentenced to death, but it was later commuted to life in prison after the state Supreme Court declared capital punishment unconstitutional in 1972. He has now served more than 50 years in prison. Sirhan was transferred to Donovan State Prison from a Kings County penitentiary Nov. 22, 2013 – the 50th anniversary of the murder of his victim’s older brother, President John F. Kennedy. He previously was housed at Corcoran State Prison in Central California. Sirhan has claimed amnesia brought on by excess consumption of alcohol and denied committing the killing, despite having admitted to the crime in open court during his trial. He was last denied parole in 2016. San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan blasted Gascon’s decision not to send a representative to the parole hearing, saying, “The community deserves better.” “By abdicating his role and refusing prosecutor presence at parole hearings, it leaves victims to fend for themselves, leaves them unrepresented, and fails to uphold his duty, as required by law, to represent the interests of the people,” Stephan said in a statement. “Our system of justice cannot function if the only advocate is the one for the person who committed a horrific crime. Decisions like this whittle away at victims’ rights and public safety. The district attorney plays a significant

role in ensuring equal and fair justice for all and strives to uphold and promote the protection of victims’ rights, the rights of those accused of a crime and the right of the community to be safe from the harm that crime brings. Part of that role requires presence at parole hearings.” The California District Attorneys Association, which provides training and advocacy for elected district attorneys, city attorneys with criminal divisions, and more than 3,500 prosecutors statewide also denounced Gascon’s decision to not send a representative to the parole hearing. “This is one of the most notorious political assassinations in American history and the killer was considered for release without benefit of a representative on behalf of the people of California. That is disgraceful,” association president Vern Pierson, who is the El Dorado County District Attorney, said. “It’s a deviation from historical precedent. Over the last 50 years in every county in California, including Los Angeles, DAs routinely appear in these hearings to provide information to the parole board. Even in San Francisco, where the DA is considered by most to be the most progressive, prosecutors regularly appear at lifer hearings. There’s a saying that 90% of life is showing up. Robert F. Kennedy was a visionary Attorney General and historical giant, yet Gascon cannot even bother to show up?” Alex Bastian, a spokesman for Gascon, defended the office’s decision. “The role of a prosecutor and their access to information ends at sentencing,” Bastian said. “The parole board, however, has all the

Robert F. Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan, shown here in his booking photo, has been granted parole. Now, the decision will enter a 120-day review period, after which it will be forwarded to the governor, who will have 30 days to decide whether to uphold the decision, reject it or modify it.

pertinent facts and evaluations at their disposal, including how someone has conducted themselves over the last few decades in prison.” But the association disagreed with this interpretation of a district attorney’s duties. “This statement from his office is further proof that Mr. Gascon has neither the competence nor the integrity to run the nation’s largest district attorney’s office,” Greg Totten, the association’s chief executive officer, said. “The DA’s role is to provide information and advice to the parole board and to support any potential victim of crime,” Pierson added. “There is no other person who has access to the information of the committing crime. Without the DA present, the hearing is one-sided.”

DUI offender who struck, killed CHP officer on I-15 convicted of murder City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A 39-year-old drunken driver who struck a California Highway Patrol officer writing a ticket on the shoulder of Interstate 15 in Lake Elsinore was convicted Aug. 27 of second-degree murder. Following a week of deliberations, a Murrieta jury returned the unanimous verdict against Michael Joseph Callahan of Winchester, also finding him guilty of a sentence-enhancing allegation of causing great bodily injury in the death of 53-year-old Steve Lawrence Licon of Perris. “The verdict has factual basis. It is supported by the evidence,” Riverside County Superior Court Judge Timothy Freer said. The judge acknowledged that jurors were locked in “intense” discussions before reaching a decision, and he expressed his sympathies, saying all the factors in the case made it a difficult one to decide. “Words escape me, but I think the word that applies is ‘frustrating,’” Freer said. He set a sentencing hearing for Oct. 1 at the Southwest Justice Center and ordered Callahan held without bail at the nearby Byrd Detention Center. The defendant, whose bail had been $1 million, is expected to be sentenced to15 years to life in state prison. Deputy District Attorney Carlos Managas told jurors in his closing argument that Callahan’s

friends “warned him, implored him, begged him not to get behind the wheel of his car” April 6, 2019. “His friends warned him again and again and again not to go,” the prosecutor said. “But Michael Callahan rejected their offers.” The defendant had spent almost five hours doing shots of tequila and downing 22-ounce beers, altogether consuming at least eight drinks, in what was an impromptu after-work party at Big Al’s sports bar in Ontario, according to trial testimony. Callahan, a Costco supervisor, had invited nearly a dozen coworkers to join him for drinks at the establishment, even though, by his own admission, he had slept less than five hours before his night shift and was exhausted. According to the prosecution, Callahan nearly sideswiped two cars and almost ran into a concrete divider on the Riverside (91) Freeway before turning southbound on I-15 to return home. One motorist’s dashcam captured the defendant speeding “recklessly along grass and gravel and dirt,” using shoulder spaces barely large enough for his sedan to get around slower traffic in lanes, Managas said. According to the CHP, Licon was working extra duty that afternoon because of heavy traffic associated with a “super bloom” of wildflowers in the valleys around Lake Elsinore, which drew large crowds and clogged roadways that March and April. The veteran motorcycle officer, nearing retirement after almost 30

years of service, had stopped the driver of a Chrysler sedan about a mile north of Nichols Road on southbound I-15 for speeding, Managas said, After Licon obtained the driver’s information, he returned to his motorcycle to begin writing the citation. “He doesn’t know that death is coming,” the prosecutor said. “Death’s name is Michael Callahan.” Licon had just finished writing the date and time in his ticket book when Callahan came barreling down the right shoulder at 70 to 80 mph in his Toyota Corolla, plowing into the lawman, his bike and the idling Chrysler, according to Managas. The CHP sergeant was pronounced dead less than an hour later at Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar. The occupants of the Chrysler escaped with minor injuries, as did Callahan. Defense attorney Kerry Armstrong admitted the “case was horrific,” and he did not try to excuse

his client’s excesses. However, he rejected the prosecution’s contention that there had been malice of forethought, one of the elements necessary to prove a murder. Armstrong argued Callahan’s inhibitions vanished as he imbibed large quantities of alcohol. “The day of the crash was a big aberration,” the attorney said. “Mr. Callahan was not processing things rationally. He made some extremely poor decisions, but that doesn’s equate to murder.” The defendant’s blood alcohol level was estimated to be around 0.20, well over twice the legal limit to operate a motor vehicle, on the day of the crash. He had a misdemeanor DUI conviction from Orange County in 2004. By his own admission, his marriage had almost collapsed because of his drinking. Under California law, a convicted DUI offender who is aware of the risks of drinking and driving and then causes someone’s death because of it can be charged with murder.

Felon found guilty of killing romantic rival in Hemet City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A parolee who gunned down a romantic rival on a Hemet street was convicted Aug. 26 of murder and other charges. A Banning jury deliberated less than a day before finding 42-yearold Samuel James Wright guilty of killing fellow Hemet resident Frank Ray in December. Along with the murder count, jurors convicted Wright of being a felon in possession of a firearm, witness intimidation and sentenceenhancing gun and great bodily injury allegations. Riverside County Superior Court Judge Rene Navarro scheduled a sentencing hearing for Oct. 8 at the Banning Justice Center. Wright, who is being held without bail at the Smith Correctional Facility in Banning, is expected to receive 50 years to life in state prison. According to the prosecution, there was bad blood between the defendant and the 43-year-old Ray because both men were involved

with the same woman, whose name was not disclosed in court documents. The two men had engaged in verbal altercations, but nothing physical, and on the night of last Dec. 28, it did not appear as if they were going to be combative after encountering one another outside the Green Tree Apartments, where the victim was walking with the woman in the 300 block of North Hamilton Street. According to a trial brief filed by Deputy District Attorney Sean Oswill, Wright initially trailed behind the victim and his girlfriend, showing no aggression, but as they drew closer to the entrance of the apartment complex, the felon abruptly walked ahead of them, gaining 10 or more feet, then allegedly turned and drew a 9mm semi-automatic handgun, firing one time into Ray’s chest. Most of the attack was captured on a security surveillance video camera, though the faces of the parties were blurred, Oswill said. Oswill alleged that Wright threatened his lover before flee-

ing the location. Ray clung to life, but fell unconscious before Hemet police officers reached the scene. He was taken to Riverside University Medical Center in Moreno Valley, where he died that night. Homicide detectives initially received conflicting accounts of what happened from the sole witness, who later admitted that Wright had “threatened me that night, and (said) if I said anything, he’d kill me,” according to the brief. The woman ultimately acknowledged that Wright was the alleged gunman, according to prosecutors. The parolee was spotted eight days later driving a vehicle with out-of-date plates in Pomona, where a patrolman attempted to stop him, culminating in the defendant allegedly bailing out of the Buick sedan and trying to run away, Oswill alleged. Wright was taken into custody after a brief foot chase. According to court records, he has prior convictions for assault and assault with a deadly weapon.

Four homes and seven outbuildings were destroyed on the south end of Anza after a brush fire erupted and scorched 295 acres,

The local historical site in the tiny old village of Radec is actually the area’s main claim to fame. The Radec Cemetery is easily reached by turning on the second dirt road off County Route 3 and the 79 South coming up from Temecula. The property is fenced, but the gate opens easily, inviting visitors to browse respectfully among the graves. According to the “History and Directory of Riverside County, 1893-4” by A. A. Bynon and Son, Radec, formerly in San Diego County, is about 6 miles to the west and south of Temecula, in the hill country of that district. Honey, hay and stock are largely grown. “The place has no commercial interest of any kind. S. V. Tripp is the postmaster,” wrote Bynon.

Anza Electric Cooperative responds to Rock Fire ANZA VALLEY OUTLOOK STAFF

Crews from the Anza Electric Cooperative and their telecommunications division ConnectAnza responded to a fire call in the Bailey and Ramsey Road area Aug. 24. The Rock Fire was quickly growing and threatening utility structures, homes and outbuildings. “Our field personnel were on scene within minutes of receipt of the report,” AEC operations manager Brian Baharie said. “We de-energized affected portions of the circuit for the safety of residents and first responders. By 8:30 p.m. that evening, we had electric service restored to all but 29 locations within the damaged area.” AEC was also able to debut its new 300-gallon portable fire suppression trailer, specifically designed for use on smoldering power poles. “We were able to keep several damaged poles from falling over by fully extinguishing them. This kept the wire in the air until we could replace the poles,” Baharie said. “More importantly, we are replacing our wood poles with steel for better fire resistance.” Most of the nearly 300-acre area

of the fire was open grassland and chaparral, but damage extended into several residential areas where four homes and seven outbuildings were lost. Utility crews worked closely with unified fire command officials that evening and through Wednesday, Aug. 25, when repairs were started. All electric service was restored where possible within 24 hours of the fire’s origin, 48 hours later, all but two service locations had been restored, with repairs ongoing. “Our ConnectAnza team followed right behind the electric crews to repair and restore fiber optic cable damaged in the fire,” AEC general manager Kevin Short said. “We’re getting internet and phone service back up in the fire area as fast as possible, with full restoration forecast by Friday, Aug. 27. I’m immensely proud of the way our entire team has performed in this emergency and am grateful to the fire and law enforcement professionals that we’ve worked with this week. Our thoughts are with those members that lost their homes and sustained damage to their property. AEC fully supports all efforts to assist those displaced by the fire.”

AEC members affected by the fire are encouraged to contact the cooperative office for information on support programs and their accounts. For more information, visit www.anzaelectric.org or telephone (951) 763-4333.

FIRE from page AVO-1 One firefighter suffered an unspecified minor injury Wednesday and was taken to a hospital for treatment. There were evacuations Tuesday in the area of Bailey and Terwilliger roads, as well as Tule Canyon Truck Trail and Nicholson Springs Road, according to the fire department. All evacuation orders were lifted at daybreak Wednesday. Full containment was reported Friday, Aug. 27. Officials said four residences and seven outbuildings were consumed by the fire. It was unclear

whether any or all of the properties were occupied. Along with county crews, personnel from the Corona Fire Department, Hemet Fire Department, Murrieta Fire & Rescue, Orange County Fire Authority, Palm Springs Fire Department and other agencies were sent to battle the brusher. At the height of the fire, six Cal Fire water-dropping helicopters and five air tankers were deployed to make water-dropping runs. All aircraft were released and returned to their bases Tuesday night. During suppression efforts, fire officials discovered a marijuana

cultivation site in the 57000 block of Gulley View Drive. Officials stated they are seeking the property owners and anyone who may have been on the property at the time the fire started. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Anyone with information regarding the marijuana cultivation site is urged to call (800) 6442836.

Prepare to evacuate in the event of an emergency Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

The Rock Fire scorched 295 acres in Anza Aug. 24, forcing the evacuation of people and animals and necessitating split second decisions about what must be left behind. The flames devoured four homes and seven outbuildings, destroying property and shattering lives. “It happened so fast,” Lorraine Elmore, who had to evacuate due to the fire, said. “We barely had time to get anything and get out, then were not allowed back in to tend to our homes for some time, because it was still not safe.” Wildfire season is upon the Anza Valley and it is well past time to formulate an evacuation plan in case this unthinkable scenario happens again. As Cal Fire, Riverside County Fire Department, and the U.S. Forestry Department deploy resources to attack a wildland fire, they release information that is accurate, timely and trustworthy. If an evacuation is imminent, residents will be alerted and law enforcement agencies will go door to door to ensure everyone clears out safely. Residents should come up with a plan before things get hot. Everyone in the home must be aware of the actions to be taken and prepared in an instant to implement the plan. The strategy should include a meeting place outside the danger area and all routes to this place from your home need to be familiar to all persons involved. Make considerations for livestock and pets. If you do not have a RADEC from page AVO-1 Besides the Tripps, some famous Anza and Aguanga names can be seen in the directory. Henry Bergman was listed as a farmer, along with J.W. Bergman, J.B. Amos, and R.T. Kolb. Fred Boles was a laborer. D.L. Davis, Chas Garbani, A.E. Thompson and B. Deming were beekeepers. T.B. Kolb was a teamster. Many of these people are laid to rest in the Radec Cemetery, thought to be started in or around 1889. About 80 people are buried there, including Samuel Tripp, his wife and many of their descendants. Many of those were early settlers in the Aguanga Valley area. The half-acre site was donated to the County of Riverside in December 1955, although the donation did not include an endowment to maintain the cemetery. The Riverside County Board of Supervisors voted Aug. 17 to authorize the abandonment of Radec Cemetery and dedicate what will be called Pioneer Memorial Park. A memorial or other sign will be erected to honor those who are buried in Radec Cemetery and the graves will remain in the park. This cemetery no longer accepts new burials, with the exception of indigent burials coordinated by the Riverside County Coroner and Public Administrator. There are about 30 graves with no identification. Having bought land in the area

It is not advised by any agencies to turn animals out to fend for themselves during a wildfire. For small pets, ensure that you have travel accommodations for each animal. Crates for dogs and cats are excellent, but make sure there are enough to go around. Be prepared to load up food, water and medications for your furry friends at a moment’s notice. Sometimes a moment is all you will have. Collect all important papers such as passports, birth certificates, insurance policies and car titles and have a plan to secure them with you when you leave. Medications and special items also need to be considered. Phones, laptops, tablets and other devices need to come with you and so do their power sources, cases, accessories and plug-ins. Make sure that everyone in the household understands how to shut off gas or propane service. Have fire extinguishers at the ready and know how to use them. Back your car into the driveway with the vehicle loaded and all doors and windows closed. Carry your car keys with you. Don’t forget keys, wallets, glasses, changes of clothes, family photos, medical devices, shoes, jackets, blankets and special needs items like diapers and wipes. Know simple first aid and have supplies on hand in case of injuries. Prepare your home by shutting all windows and doors and leaving them unlocked. Remove flammable in 1883, early settler Samuel Tripp set up a post office there, early San Diego County records show. The land was homesteaded by James Campbell Fain, born in Illinois or Indiana in about 1820. He was on the land in California in May 1878, when he registered to vote. At the time that area of Riverside County was still part of San Diego County, according to historical records. In May 1884, Fain’s nephew, William Fain, came to his home accompanied by Albert Lancaster. William Fain later said that they were met by an angry and agitated James Fain, who was brandishing a gun and threatening to use it. William Fain dismounted and pulled his own revolver. Lancaster ran behind the house. William Fain said his uncle fired one shot at him before he himself fired back and fatally wounded his uncle. An inquest was held a few days later, and jurors found that the incident was justifiable homicide in self-defense. However, a grand jury decided William Fain should be tried for murder, historical records show. On July 24, 1884, after deliberations, William Fain was acquitted of the murder charge. After his death, James C. Fain’s property was put up for sale and purchased by Samuel Tripp. He applied to the federal government to open a post office at the property. According to local legend, his application asked that the post

Leave lights on so firefighters can see your house in smoky or nighttime conditions.

office be named “Cedar.” The U. S. Postal Service approved his application, but rejected the name because there was already another post office in California named Cedar. According to locals, Tripp decided to spell Cedar backward, creating the name Radec for the new post office. There is no town of Radec, it remains simply an area, the post office long gone. Besides the unmarked graves, the following people are known to be interred in the Radec Cemetery: Anderson, Hazel Mary, b. 1888, d. 1957 Anderson, Santford T., b. 1881, d. 1956 Bergman, Alice D., b. 1896, d. 1989, s/w Harry H.

legislative assistant to Washington, and Amanda Fisher, District Representative for Senator Melissa Melendez, will be on hand to answer any questions. Submitted by Anza Valley Municipal Advisory Committee.

Just a few weeks ago, Mendell took his weed eater up to the cross that had been erected at the top of a hill and cleared all the brush from around it.

The cross is still standing, spared from the inferno. Mendell takes this as a much-needed good sign after the devastation of the fire. “Can anyone explain why everything around us burnt to the ground? I feel that God spared my home,” he said. The blaze was reported at 1:38 p.m. in the area of Gully View Drive and Rock Canyon Road, bordering the Cahuilla Indian Reservation, according to a Cal Fire Riverside County Fire Department incident report. The blaze was fully contained Friday morning. The cause of the fire is under investigation. It was not until Wednesday that Mendell was allowed in to see his home. The barn and brush were scorched to the ground. But the house remained untouched and the kittens were overjoyed to see him. “I believe with my heart that God’s protection clearly covered the property,” Mendell’s sister Stephanie Rollain said. “That it was His will that the houses, the sign at the gate and the cross on the hill be saved. Definitely Larry’s weed abatement was crucial. And the two engine companies that first arrived and stayed with the houses, along with the air support and the multitude of other firefighters protecting the homes were a godsend. I wish I could hug and thank everyone who had a hand in fighting this fire. My gratitude toward everyone is immense. And I don’t even live there. They don’t even know that they saved two lives, Jazz and Tazz, his kittens who were in the house. My heart is just so full thinking about the enormity of the fire and all that transpired.” Diane Sieker can be reached by email at dsieker@reedermedia.com.

Did Trump implement devolution and therefore retain some control?

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

The nuclear age and Cold War against socialism brought about a greater need to protect the continuity of government from enemies of the Republic, foreign and domestic. The greatest threat to America for the last hundred years has been the threat of socialism (See “A Trump Return—Devolution Explained?” LibertyUnderFire). But what if America had to fight socialists on its own soil and they were conquered from within by a fraudulent election? In every subdued country, freedom died as did many of its citizens. The military takes a solemn oath to preserve the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic. Freedom from excessive government protected by the Constitution is the first fatality of socialist govern-

ments. In this country the military’s first responsibility is to protect the Constitution and the Republic created by it — not the immediate president or federal government. Our Republic, protected by the Constitution, and socialism are polar opposites. Socialism accepts nothing that limits its power. In the presidential election of 2020, the United States fell to Democratic Socialism. Therefore at what point does the military under Devolution exercise their responsibility to remove the threat to the Constitution and to the Republic? President Eisenhower, when he nailed down Devolution as the appropriate response, as outlined previously, had this type of event in mind. No government entity has the authority to remove the Republic or the Constitution that created it — even if it were by “popular??” vote. Still, something that is not valued will in time be lost no matter what dead Founders and past presidents have established. But we probably do not have to face this moment quite yet. There are two issues that may save us, election integrity and the China connection with COVID. If forensic audits prove indisputably, as they appear to be doing, that election fraud brought the wrong political party to power, that can be reversed by the Constitution. The states can and must rescind their electoral votes asap and those knowingly participating must be tried for treason — especially if holding high office. This too, if COVID was used

intentionally to affect the election. If China electronically switched Trump votes to Biden, it is an act of war as also is their intentionally unleashing a bio weapon, a killer virus, on the United States and the world. If the above is true “this election theft is so much more than fraud.” Far more “clandestine in nature. It involves cyber warfare, information warfare, electronic warfare, intelligence warfare, space warfare” and yes, probably biological warfare [COVID]. The only option at Trump’s disposal was to initiate Devolution through our military.” This is why the incoming Biden transition team complained that the Trump team would not tell them of all special covert operations — presumably one dealt with evidence of Biden stealing the election. (Devolution Part 3, Continuity of Government, Patel Patriot, July 14, 2021). President Trump never conceded the election and if either fraud or China threw the election to Biden, he remains the president and continuity of government (COG) also remains in place. The election was instead a coup. We do not need Devolution, the military, unless Biden or Harris refuse to leave the White House, which is likely. There exists some evidence that Trump implemented COG before leaving the White House and allowed Biden to “play house” to show America how entrenched and how tyrannical Deep State rule would be. Otherwise, half of America would never believe how deceived

they had been. There is nothing the Biden Administration has touched that has not been a disaster: insane national debt, unrestrained invasion on our southern border, COVID shutdowns, mandatory masking and vaccines, escalating gas and food prices, uncontrolled inflation, their defiance of the Bill of Rights, their Afghanistan fiasco, etc. He is America’s absolute worst president ever. His popularity decreases in the same proportion as Trump’s rises. America is awakening. What evidence? Whether speaking of the Wuhan China Virus as an act of war, or China’s interference in our presidential election, Trump told reporters “We went through the worst attack we’ve ever had on our country, this is [the] worst attack we’ve ever had. This is worse than Pearl Harbor, this is worse than the World Trade Center. There’s never been an attack like this. And it should have never happened. Could’ve been stopped right at the source, and it wasn’t.” These acts were followed by declarations of war on Japan and Iraq, as should be so with China also. Trump then assumed war powers and Devolution which substantially increased his powers to save the Republic. (Devolution Part 4: A Wartime President, Patel Patriot, July 17, 2021). What evidence? He selected firm patriots to challenge what his sources revealed to be a coup election. He chose to fight two days after the Deep State media called the victory for Biden. On November 9th he promoted Christopher C. Miller to

Acting Secretary of Defense. Next day Anthony Tata, a specialist in DOD continuity policy, was added. David Norquist, was already on board as budget manager for funding special operations. Then on Nov. 11, Kashyap Patel (operation planning) and Ezra Cohen-Watnik (Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict) were added. He was also in charge of classified information that could be released to the public as needed. These units specialized in “protecting against subversion, lawlessness, insurgency, terrorism, and other threats to their internal security, and stability, and legitimacy” (Ibid.). So is Biden running the country? Perhaps, but I do not believe, despite his Afghanistan fiasco, he is totally running the military. They are waiting for the audits proving a coup, George Soros’ funded socialist anarchists to burn cities as a result, perhaps the Durham report documenting even more corruption, then the military will begin the arrests and trials.

PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF PEDRO DIAZ ALVAREZ aka PEDRO D. ALVAREZ CASE #: PRIN 2101087 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of PEDRO DIAZ ALVAREZ aka PEDRO D. ALVAREZ A Petition for Probate has been filed by RIVERSIDE COUNTY PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR in the Superior Court of California, County of Riverside. The Petition for Probate requests that RIVERSIDE COUNTY PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: September 23, 2021 Time: 8:45 a.m. Dept. PS-3 As of this date, the courthouse is temporarily closed and this hearing must be attended by telephone only by: (1) Call 1-213-306-3065 and enter Meeting No. 289100160, or (2) Visit https://www.riverside. courts.webex.com/meet/paldeptps3webex, type in your name and click “join meeting.”. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (Form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
