Menifee Council adopts a camping and storage ordinance Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The Menifee City Council, on the request of the police department, introduced an ordinance establishing regulations for camping and storage of personal property in public areas that previously did not exist in the city codes.

The ordinance was requested by Police Captain David Gutierrez at the Oct. 6 council meeting after he explained that officers between July of last year until August of see COUNCIL, page A-6

Only good spirits in Temecula Rebecca Marshall Farnbach SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Temecula Valley Historical Society often receives requests from television producers who want to feature sensational ghost stories or from small-time ghost hunters who want to bring recording equipment to capture visual or audio evidence of spirits in older buildings in our locale.

Our response is to decline. Why diminish our mission to truthfully document history and erode our credibility? Why tell ghost stories when there are so many entertaining true accounts to tell? see SPIRITS, page A-6

Tahquitz High School cheerleader finds others cheering for him Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

As Tahquitz High School Titan cheerleader Preston Christiansen donned a football jersey to lead his football team onto the field for their game Sept. 30, he was the one who received the most applause and shouts from the bleachers and the field. Unbeknownst to him, his fellow cheer teammates planned a surprise “Who’s House? Preston’s House” recognition for the terminally ill 16-year-old.

The Hemet junior was diagnosed with desmoplastic small round cell tumors on Christmas Day when he was 10 years old but he has pursued his dreams in spite of pain and setbacks due to cancer treatments and surgeries over the past six years.

Artists to be displaced after Menifee Art & Boutique closure at the end of October Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

About 70 local artists and artisans are losing the space where they showed and sold their works for the past year. Arts Council Menifee members who regularly displayed their talents at the Menifee Art & Boutique at Cherry Hills Plaza will have to vacate by the end of the month. A recent sale of the complex has ousted them to make room for a dance studio.

Along with losing a permanent location to show and sell artworks, the gallery gave the public an opportunity to learn about some of the great talent living in their community.

“It’s amazing how many people come by to buy,” ACM’s Visual Art Chair and boutique manager Kathy Crain said. “We’re getting to be known and people want us to stay; we’re helping to make this a destination spot.” see ARTISTS, page A-4

Kathy Crain is the Visual Art Chair and boutique manager for Arts Council Menifee. She is also a versatile artist that shows many of her own works at the gallery. With its closure at the end of this month, more than 70 artists are seeking a new space to continue sharing their talents with the community. Valley News/Diane A. Rhodes photo

Hemet welcomes new fire chief HEMET – After a nationwide recruitment, the city of Hemet announced Thursday, Oct. 7, the hiring of Eddie Sell, the city’s new fire chief. Sell will lead the Hemet Fire Department and will serve as a key part of the Executive Team for the city of Hemet.

Fire Chief Eddie Sell brings more than 30 years of experience in the Fire Service to Hemet. He is a proud veteran of the United States Navy and has worked for the Bureau of Land Management, several units of Cal Fire, and, most recently, the Long Beach Fire Department. Eddie Sell’s diverse background, including his fluency in Spanish, will serve the community well.

“We are pleased to welcome Eddie Sell to our community,” Mayor Karlee Meyer said. “I am excited to see him lead the Fire Department’s Strategic Plan initiatives established by the city council and look forward to him leading the men and women of the Department.”

Chief Sell has volunteered in different capacities to promote the Fire Service and was a member of the California Fire Service Leadership Council and the National Volunteer Fire Council. He began his career as a volunteer firefighter and now holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Management. He is a Certified Company Officer of the California State Chief Fire Officers Series, an EMT-P, and has a culinary school

certificate from the U.S. Navy.

Eddie is currently the president of the California State Firefighters’ Association which is the only statewide fire service organization that serves the needs of all of the state’s firefighters, paid career, paid call, volunteer, municipal, private and military and from all ranks, from fire science students to fire chiefs.

“Chief Sell’s background, experience and high ethical standards will make him an incredible Fire Chief for our great community,” Christopher Lopez, city manager for the City of Hemet, said. “The entire management team is excited to have such a high caliber addition to Hemet’s leadership.”

The Christensen Brothers Rodeo Company of Oregon provided stock to various rodeos for more than 50 years. Christensen Brothers General Engineering Inc. of Apple Valley now will provide a pipeline which will allow The Lakes at Hemet West golf course to utilize recycled water.

The Eastern Municipal Water District will be providing the water as part of Eastern’s Myers Street Recycled Water Pipeline Crossing at Florida Avenue project. The recycled water will also irrigate streetscape for the Hemet Auto Mall, and the pipeline will have the capacity to provide recycled water to future development. A 5-0 EMWD board vote Oct. 6 approved a $229,512 contract with Christensen Brothers along with total additional appropriations of $383,100.

Christensen Brothers will construct approximately 375 feet of high-density polyethylene pipeline 6 inches in diameter along My-

ers Street and will also provide 250 feet of 12-inch HDPE casing which will utilize directional drilling. The immediate reduction in potable water use will be approximately 172 acre-feet annually.

The engineer’s estimate for the construction was $247,000. Four bids were submitted by the Aug. 23 deadline, although one was deemed non-responsive for failure to complete the form with the list of designated subcontractors.

The Christensen Brothers bid of $229,512 was the low amount. C.P. Construction Inc. of Ontario, bid $259,250 for the second-lowest figure.

The appropriations also include $33,400 for contract administration, $20,600 for inspection, $15,000 for geotechnical testing, $11,600 for surveying services, $10,000 for EMWD operations labor, $5,000 for right of way labor, $5,000 for engineering branch labor and $22,988 for contingencies. The construction is scheduled to begin later this month and is expected to be complete in April 2022.

City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Officials in Menifee said that the city is poised for increased growth, building on the decadelong population surge that netted a 32% gain in local residents.

Mayor Bill Zimmerman said the fact that Menifee grew by 25,008 residents between 2010 and 2020, according to the U.S. Census data, is a “major accomplishment” that reflects the desirability of the area.

“Individuals choosing Menifee as a place to call home is a testament to the investments and policies we have made and continue to undertake to position Menifee as a safe, thriving and premier place to live,” Zimmerman said.

The City Council is currently examining 2020 Census figures to iron out how to redraw voting districts’ boundaries before the June 2022 primary election. A forum to solicit residents’ opinions on the process is scheduled during the council’s regular meeting Nov. 3.

Officials said tentatively revised district maps should be available to the public for consideration by the beginning of next year. More information is available at www. cityofmenifee.us/redistricting.

The California Department of Finance used census data to rank Menifee No. 3 for growth in Riverside County in 2020. During that same one-year period, Menifee attained sixth place statewide for population increases among municipalities with 30,000 or more people.

“In Menifee, we pride ourselves on creating the best quality of life for our residents,” City Manager Armando Villa said. “As our community experiences continued growth, we are keeping pace by aggressively investing in roads, traffic signals, safety, parks and other amenities for our residents.

These efforts are not overlooked, as individuals and businesses are clamoring to be a part of our big little city.”

He projected a 10% growth rate over the next two years.

According to Villa, Menifee is well-situated to handle the influx thanks to multiple housing tracts approved by the county board of supervisors before the city incorporating in 2008.

“Residential development feeds commercial and industrial growth, which supports higher wages and better amenities such as restaurants,” according to a city statement.

Six applying for appointment to the vacant San Jacinto City Council seat Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The San Jacinto City Council learned six candidates have applied to be appointed to the vacant city council before the deadline for applications to be turned in to the city clerk. Deadline for candidates to apply for the open seat was Oct. 6, leaving the council to pick one of the candidates for appointment within a 60-day period or a special election would have to be held.

Those applying are for the open seat left by former council member Joel Lopez who remains in jail awaiting trial on three alleged felony counts. Since he failed to take his seat or call in an excuse after July 20, his seat was declared vacant by the city attorney and the

remaining four council members on Sept. 21 after continued nonappearances at council meetings.

The call for members of the community to apply for the vacant position was immediately sent out on the city’s website and social media. The City Clerk announced that at the end of the deadline six candidates were applying for the position.

The six candidates are Corinne Awad, Barry Claborn, Michael Heath, Adam Tostado, Phillip Trickey and Russ Utz, according to the clerk’s office.

The appointed candidate will serve out Lopez’s incomplete 4-year term and have an opportunity to run in any future election.

A discussion on how the final candidates should be chosen ended

with a decision to have the council ask a series of same questions for each of the candidates’ reasons for applying, their backgrounds, experience and desire to serve the people of the community in a public meeting held at the community center in the next few weeks. Council members Brian Hawkins and Phil Ayala want to make sure the final candidate serves the community as a whole and not for personal reasons. They were assured by Mayor Alonso Ledezma and Mayor Pro Tem Crystal Ruiz, who have witnessed other appointment approvals that the questions would be the same for each and held without the other knowing their individual answers and in front of the public.

With those assurances the full council would be drawing up the

questions to be presented to the candidate. The city attorney would assist in helping to draw the questions to be sure they were all equal and that applicants were given the same time to respond.

All the council agreed they did not want to have the appointed council member act outside of the general San Jacinto population’s interest like others have done in the past.

In other business, the council authorized its approval to annexing the 66,000 square foot Class Leasing LLC modular home manufacturing facility into two Community Facilities District CFD 2003-1 Annex 61s that allow for the levy of special taxes for landscaping, highways, utilities and public safety protection by the police and

fire departments. Elections were held before the CFD annexations took place with the owner of the facility giving his approval to the ordinances and entrance into the CFDs. The city planning commission approved the large facility in 2020 and received the council’s final approval with great appreciation for the company locating in the city that will now employ up to 150 people, many from the community.

With the building completed at 1600 S. Juanita St., the firm that manufactures modular housing units for schools, government offices and industry is now seeking employees in many trades and as project managers.

Advanced Industrial Services given Lower Las Brisas 1 tank rehabilitation Joe Naiman WRITER

Advanced Industrial Services Inc. was awarded the Eastern Municipal Water District contract for the rehabilitation of the Lower Las Brisas 1 tank.

The Oct. 6 board action also included awarding Krieger & Stewart a contract for engineering support services during construction, so Stephen Corona abstained from the vote due to a professional conflict of interest although the other four EMWD board members approved the motion. Advanced Industrial Services was awarded a $736,925 contract for the Lower Las Brisas 1 tank rehabilitation, four other contracts were approved for four other reservoirs which will be rehabilitated, Krieger & Stewart was given a $114,800 support services contract, EMWD general manager Joe Mouawad was given the administrative authority to execute necessary contracts with consultants and suppliers, and the board approved additional appropriations for each of the five tanks including $1,059,525 for the Lower Las Brisas 1 reservoir.

The Lower Las Brisas 1 welded steel tank, which is in the 27000 block of Camino Las Positas, was constructed in 1986 and has a capacity of 2 million gallons. The interior coating of the tank will be removed and the reservoir will be recoated. The work will also include installation of perimeter safety railing, roof air vents, a new cathodic protection system, and a safety grading for the roof hatch, and a center support ring for the rafters will be installed if necessary. The existing interior ladder will be removed. The beam stabilizer bars will be replaced, and corroded rafters will be replaced where necessary. The rafter connections to the shell and girders will be repaired if necessary, and the overflow structure will be removed and replaced if necessary.

In November 2020 the EMWD board voted 4-0 with Corona abstaining to award Krieger & Stewart a design contract for the renovation of the five reservoirs. In August 2021 the district received bids for each of the five tanks.

Seven bids were received for the Lower Las Brisas 1 reservoir rehabilitation. Advanced Industrial Services, which is headquartered in Los Alamitos, had the low bid at $736,925. The second-lowest bid of $865,000 was submitted by J. Colon Coatings Inc., which is based in Alta Loma. The $879,649 amount proposed by the Hemet company Paso Robles Tank Inc., was the third-lowest bid although that company had the low bid of $391,564 for the rehabilitation of the Manzanita 1 tank in Moreno Valley. The engineer’s estimate for the Lower Las Brisas 1 tank was $720,300, so the Advanced Industrial Services bid was 2.31% above the estimate.

In addition to engineering sup-

port, the Krieger & Stewart work will include a pre-construction meeting with each contractor, material and equipment submittals review, record drawing preparation, site inspections and progress

meetings. The $23,600 fee for the Lower Las Brisas 1 reservoir covers 26 project manager hours, 66 project engineer hours, 16 computer design hours and nine clerical hours.

In addition to the $736,925 and $23,600 contract amounts, the appropriations for the Lower Las Brisas 1 tank include $155,000 for EMWD labor costs, $70,000 for coating inspections, and $74,000

for contingencies.

The rehabilitation is expected to be complete by April 2022.

LOCAL TAHQUITZ from page A-1 very memorable moment for me,” Preston said. “Then when I saw my cheer teammates, it made the experience much more amazing.”

Preston has been a Varsity Sideline and Competition Team member of the Tahquitz High School CoEd Cheerleading team for three years.

“Preston brings an unbelievable and contagious amount of energy and enthusiasm to the program and contributes tremendously to the competition team with his tumbling skills,” Head Coach Sarah Peterson said. “Preston’s illness never got in his way of performing with his team or his obligations to the team.”

Varsity cheer captains Lauren Gibson and Juilianna Loya took the lead to organize the tribute to Preston and contacted head football coach Stephon Pace, ASB Director Carole Lee Jones and principal Kari McGowan to make it all happen.

Peterson helped Lauren and Juilianna organize their ideas and get information, photos and notes written to Preston from the cheer team, peers and teachers. Jones and Pace placed all the material into the digital football program.

Peterson, along with her husband Mike, is coaching the Tahquitz cheer team for its ninth season although Sarah Peterson has personally been coaching for 22 years. She said the night was “magical and was more than we thought it was going to be.”

She said the local girls’ Juventus (soccer) Club also came out and supported the event.

“It was heartwarming to see the school and the community come together and celebrate Preston,” she said. “It made me and the team feel loved and supported through this time with our teammate.”

Preston’s older brother Chandler is a 2020 Tahquitz High School graduate who was also on the cheer team and their 8-year-old sister, Renee, has attended Cheer Camp for three years.

ARTISTS from page A-1 The present space of about 2,000 square feet uses about half for office space and storage. The gallery itself is about 1,000 square feet and has no problem filling the space with paintings on the walls, portable stands and on tables throughout the boutique.

Crain said the nonprofit has been searching for a new space but it hasn’t been easy as they cannot pay rent. ACM members, who pay an annual dues of $40 each, opened the Menifee Art & Boutique about a year ago in collaboration with the Menifee Valley Community Pantry’s Dawn Smith who proposed an idea of a shared space. In 2020, the two nonprofits partnered to use the space and from October through December, MVCC used the space for its holiday store, but ACM maintained a presence there with art that reflected the holidays as well as provided volunteers to work in the collaborative space.

ACM volunteers, per their agreement with MVCC, will start working at its Holiday Store Nov. 1 and will continue with that until the end of the year. However, now that the pantry and its thrift store have also been displaced, things won’t be the same this year. The Holiday Store will be next to Sun City Family Restaurant, on the other side of the plaza.

ACM members will conduct an Oct. 21 meeting at the boutique with the next two months’ meeting locations yet to be determined. A priority will be to discuss future plans. Crain said a new space could be smaller but they would like to have enough space to do classes and have some storage area, too.

While local artists do have other outlets such as those who display their works at US Bank or the new Sun City Farmers Market every Saturday, Crain said some are not able to participate as setting up every weekend poses a hardship for many of them. That is why she is hoping to find an alternative space soon. She said the boutique has been able to generate $3,000 in sales for the artists during some months but it’s not consistent enough to pay to lease a new space.

“A few of our artists have their own websites and some are on Etsy,” Crain said. She joined ACM in 2012, after taking an early retirement and visiting an ACM open house at the Kay Ceniceros Senior Center. She joined the board in 2018 as a Visual Art Co-Chair. “We

“I would like everyone to know that the ceremony made me feel loved and appreciated by everyone who was there to cheer for and support me,” Preston said.

Preston’s mother, Michelle Nijst, said her son is multi-talented and plays guitar, piano and sings.

A friend of the family, Shirley Casillas, who had a niece and nephew on the cheer team at Tahquitz, was able to recently arrange for Preston to record the Blake Shelton song “Lonely Tonight” at Black and Gold Records studio in Los Angeles. It will soon be available on iTunes and can be heard now on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/ 60y0LSb1lOkWlProRq7Pnl. “Taking care of a child with cancer is a full-time job, 24/7,” Nijst said. “Fortunately, we have my husband to help us in so many ways. He’s not Preston’s biological dad, but Preston 100% feels and believes that Kris is his dad in every meaning of the word.”

Kris Nijst is self-employed as a Certified General Appraiser and Michelle works part time from home for AppraisalTek. “Thank goodness I can do that because with all the doctors’ appointments and care for a child with cancer, it’s almost impossible to work at a location,” Michelle said. “I’m grateful they understand and work with my schedule. I can’t even begin to explain the medical expenses but fortunately we have Medi-Cal for Preston so everything is covered medical wise.

Nevertheless, he worries about his parents, and he doesn’t need to.”

When the family found out Preston had DSRCT they were told it was an extremely rare cancer, with only 200 cases a year reported worldwide and that there was no cure. She said that even if this particular cancer is rare, childhood cancer is not rare and more awareness needs to be brought to all the children who are fighting cancer.

“Then we were told with the treatment they do have available, his survival rate is three to eight years based on the currently

had grants which enabled us to go into some of our local schools and teach art, and then later supply the schools with art materials.”

Daniela Ramirez started her Goat Gardens business about two years ago. Making soaps and lotions from the goats at her Perris farm, she has sold more than 35 items at the boutique since she joined ACM about three months ago. Although she does sell her items online through Facebook and Instagram and soon on her own website, there are intangible benefits from being able to sell them at the boutique.

“The advantage of having the space open to sell my goods is not only because my items get sold there but mainly because I love being around all the lovely people who help out at the boutique. The boutique is such a peaceful and creative environment, everyone I know that volunteers there genuinely enjoy spending time there.

It has been a wonderful place to connect with others professionally and personally,” she said.

Ramirez, 26, was making her goat milk-based products as a hobby for about six years. “After that, I realized that these products can really help others due to the healing properties they contain so I started doing my research, networking and seeing the business aspect of things in order to reach others,” she said.

John H. Tribelhorn has been ACM’s president since 2019. He and his wife, Lynda, have been trustees since late 2016 but attended ACM events for many years before that.

“As long as we can find alternate ways to display or are able to return to quarterly receptions and a yearly art walk, I believe that we can maintain and possibly grow membership. It will take more engagement with the City and other organizations that might be willing to partner with us,” he said.

Lifelong artist Jonathan Tatum has been an ACM member for about two years and has been concentrating on real-to-life professional detailed pencil drawings. He has sold more than 10 items, mostly due to his new greeting cards line, and received a commission. Several other artists have been commissioned to create artwork based on a visitor to the boutique liking what they see and wanting it more personalized for their own space.

Tatum, 58, has lived in Menifee for almost three years and also shows his works at the Sun City Farmers Market but feels there is a

knowledge they have,” Nijst said.

“Unfortunately, six years later that is still the case.”

His mother said Preston struggles with weight gain because of the lasting side effects of treatments over the years and the spleen he lost, therefore he can get sick because he doesn’t have an immune system. But she said, “He takes medicine every day from the lasting effects of his cancer treatments to help him be able to go to school, be with his friends and do things outside the house.”

Preston started treatments in Utah when he was first diagnosed in 2015 and during the first two years, he underwent 22 rounds of chemotherapy and 20 sessions of full abdominal radiation. He participated in a clinical trial in New York in 2017 called 8H9 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. In 2018, Preston’s cancer care was moved to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.

“The prognosis we were given last month in New York at MSKCC when we tried to do another clinical trial there to try and slow the cancer down and give Preston more time here with us on earth, we were told there is nothing they have that will give a different outcome. They said Preston has months but not a year until end of life,” Nijst said. “This was the worst devastating news we could ever hear, and Preston and our family are still trying to process the horrible news.”

She said that during the past six years, Preston’s cancer has returned five times and he has endured more than 50 rounds of different chemo treatments, 32 sessions of radiation on his abdominal area and he now has cancer in his bones and both of his lungs.

“He has had nine surgeries, an ostomy for 11 months, lost his spleen and a large amount of his lower intestines, outer lining of his bladder, end of his pancreas, his colon and has 3cm left of his rectum,” Nijst said. “And through all of this and still on chemo, he is fighting so hard to stay alive

with the brightest smile on his face. Preston is a fighter, a warrior and has the most courage I have ever seen in a human, and this is a child.”

Nijst said that everyone who knows or meets her son sees his true heart and kind soul. “He inspires everyone around him and always turns everything negative and bad into hope and positiveness,” she said. “I am truly blown away on a daily basis about how strong he truly is. He is loved so deeply by everyone he touches.”

She said everyone needs to speak up and be a voice for children with cancer so there can be more funding for research. She said childhood cancer is the No. 1 cause of death in children in America.

“Childhood cancer is grossly overlooked and underfunded.

This is not acceptable; all children deserve to live,” she said. “As a parent, I had no idea how bad childhood cancer was and how many children suffer daily until my son got sick. These kids depend on all of us, not just the medical staff, and we are failing them by looking the other way because we don’t

think it will happen to our child.

I’m here to tell you it can happen, and it is happening every day.”

Nijst was touched by the recognition and support shown to Preston by his peers, teammates and Tahquitz staff before and during the football game. The 42-page digital program featured photos of Preston with the cheer team and included several pages of heartfelt sentiments written by classmates and teachers.

Preston said, “My favorite part about being on the Tahquitz Cheer team definitely has to be that the friends we made are all very special and amazing. The team is more than just people doing a sport; it’s a family community. Everyone I met is like family to me and I will cherish our shared experiences forever.”

Words from Tahquitz High School’s alma mater by Keith Davis are very fitting to describe the effort, love and support that went into honoring Preston Christiansen Sept. 30, “Nobody stands as one, and when our song is done you will remember who we are: We are the Titans, the Tahquitz Titans.”

huge advantage for artists to have a permanent showcase such as the Menifee Art & Boutique.

Artist Subodh Ghimire spends at least two days a week at the gallery, demonstrating and working the store. He has been an artist for the past 20 years and enjoys trying new kinds of techniques. He explains his style as experimental.

On a recent Saturday, he was painting a portrait he said was not pre-planned. “I just was moving with the music that was playing and using cool colors, later I added the face of a lady because most of the people coming into the store today are ladies; I’m guided by what is happening around me,” the Menifee resident said.

While e-commerce has been a long-standing outlet for many artists, sometimes people want to buy local to support those in their own community. Being able to shop at the boutique gave them that opportunity whether they were shopping for a gift, a décor item with the right color scheme or subject matter or just found something they connected with for some reason.

Crain said last year was ACM’s 10-year anniversary which they were not able to celebrate due to COVID-19 restrictions but feels that managing to go from startup to their own store in 10 years was a great accomplishment. Now that goal has been diminished but hopefully the situation is only a temporary one.

Tribelhorn said having a permanent place has always been an important goal for ACM and they were happy to see that happen a year ago. “If you want a visible presence for arts in the community, you really need somewhere that the residents can see and visit to create interest in the arts,” he said.

Crain said the boutique also offered an opportunity for emerging artists and art students to display their works.

“What we have here is so unique, from bottle decorating to tole painting and everything in between,” she said. “We have people who come in every week just to see all the items we offer.”

Crain said ACM has recently created Instagram and Facebook accounts for MenifeeArtandBoutique and will be updating posts as soon as they find someone to fill the recently-vacated position of social media publicist.

LOCAL SPIRITS from page A-1 Many ghosthunters believe the spirits of deceased individuals linger where they died. Almost always there is a story of a young female in a white dress who is seen moving in front of a window. Such stories are told about buildings at Vail HQ, but having intensely studied the history of each structure, there were no deaths at the Vail HQ site, and few females lived there.

Some say Ramona Wolf haunts the property, but she died at the home of her sister near Pala, not at Vail HQ. I rather think that if there is a way for those dearly departed to view our activities in the land of the living, we would find a cheering squad for our activities to remember them. For example, there is a photograph of seven cowboys on the east side of Kohl’s. I often imagine them cheering for all our efforts to preserve the Vail HQ site and to remember how life was during their heyday. I think of those who are buried in the Temecula cemetery and believe they would be happy to know that we remember them and retell their stories.

I consider the unnamed warriors who were ambushed in the canyon in 1846 and now sleep near

Temecula Parkway and I think they would be pleased to know they are not forgotten. Louis Wolf would probably be delighted to know his legacy lives on with his general store now a popular coffee shop.

Spooky? No, not for me. While children and adults enjoy Halloween in scary costumes and the headless horseman rides at Vail HQ, I think of the dearly beloved and departed souls who may be dancing for joy as we remember them.

Temecula cemetery in the 1920s.

COUNCIL from page A-1 this year had responded to 193 calls for service associated with illegal encampments, many of those by homeless individuals.

He said in his report, “These calls are handled by patrol officers and our Problem Oriented Policing unit. Encampment calls can be challenging to address in a timely manner due to individuals not being desirous of resources and a lack of available options to legally abate the encampments.”

He argued that public parks, public streets and alleys, public parking lots, public rights of way, parkways, public sidewalks, recreational areas and other publicly owned or controlled property within the city should be readily accessible and available to residents, businesses and the public at large for their intended purposes.

“The use of public property for camping purposes and/or for the storage of personal property interferes with the rights of others to use and enjoy these public areas as they are intended,” Gutierrez said. “Such activity can constitute a welfare of the community, and to ensure that public property is used for its intended purpose and remains accessible to all citizens, businesses and visitors in the city.”

He added that the ordinance suggested would not be intended to interfere with otherwise lawful and ordinary uses of public property.

He said such an ordinance would be consistent with all federal laws and 9th District Court decisions.

He explained that the Martin v.

City of Boise involved multiple homeless individuals who had been cited for camping on public property or sleeping in public buildings or places in violation of a city ordinance. The court found that it is a violation of the Eighth Amendment, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment, for a municipality to criminalize the act of sleeping outside where no sleeping space is practically available in any shelter. The city was ordered to delete the ordinance.

However, the police captain said, although the Boise decision limited how municipalities may regulate their own property as it relates to sleeping in public it does not amount to a total ban on a city’s right to regulate the acts of camping or sleeping in public and the purpose of the ordinance being sought “is to maintain these public areas within the city in a clean, sanitary, safe and accessible condition, to adequately protect the health, safety, environment and general environment,” if a shelter is available to those camping out.

The Menifee POP officers, code enforcement and Riverside University Hospital System personnel contact those illegally camping and offer them different ways to shelter themselves with motel vouchers or other locations if they so choose, Gutierrez said, following federal and state regulations. If they refuse, their property could be

confiscated, inventoried and stored by the city until it was reclaimed, if it did not create a health or safety hazard.

A discussion by the council members about that ordinance said it should also include some responsibility to homeowners or businesses that permit camping, other than their own family, in their yards or properties. They agreed to create the ordinance to add to other city codes with the addition of some responsibility on homeowners or businesses that permit camping or living on their own property other than their own family.

The city attorney and staff would create the new ordinance and present it to the council and in a public hearing on the issue.

In other business the council decided to adopt an Urgency Ordinance imposing a 45-day moratorium on utility-scale battery storage uses with later options to extend the moratorium.

The Urgency Ordinance request came because Southern California Edison and another firm has 80 to 100 acres of land they wish to use to store large lithium batteries for use in the future that could supply electricity to as many at 50,000 homes if it became necessary.

It was pointed out the city has no regulations or ordinance that specifically covers the large battery storage facilities suggested.

While health and safety ordinances do cover the storage and disposal of smaller batteries it has none for the larger batteries. The city attorney said the city could impose the Urgency Ordinance because it could affect the residents’ health and safety and it will give them time to study the issue and create a permanent ordinance.

Former Riverside County Supervisor Marion Ashley appeared before the council on the issue because of his interest in a Menifee Energy Center being sought in the city on 80 acres that would house the large batteries. He said they would be interested in any standards the city might create.

The full council approved 12 other consent items ranging from accepting a $12,946 State Homeland Security Grant to a $2 million budget amendment to cover needed Professional Services in zoning and planning issues.

The city’s newest fire chief Lonny Olson introduced himself to the council saying he was happy to take the helm of the department where he first became a firefighter.

Cal Fire Capt. Scott Philippbar who has recently become a Battalion Chief and is leaving for another assignment was recognized for his many years of service to the community.

Menifee teenager Lariah Gill was introduced to the city council as the World Champion 2021 IMMAF (Mixed martial arts) recipient. She was given a city recognition award.

The power of the arts What did you do during the lockdowns of the COVID-19 pandemic? Maybe you started a new TV show or joined an online dance class. Whatever you chose to pass your time, I guarantee it had something to do with the arts.

The arts are so important in the growth of society and the socialemotional growth of students. At JDS Creative Academy we believe in the power of performing arts education to provide students with lifelong confidence, positive self-esteem and enhanced communication skills.

There’s a reason that Renaissance men were accomplished in math, science and the arts. An arts education has been proven to lead to better cognitive development which supports education and

learning in STEM fields. That’s why at JDS Creative Academy we encourage a STEAM learning model of education. The STEAM model encourages the use of science, technology, engineering, the arts and math to provide a well-rounded and diversified education. Our founder Diane Strand said, “An education without the arts is only empty knowledge.”

Performing arts classes teach communication skills, team-building, self-introspection, leadership, confidence, improves self esteem, drives creative thinking and develops problem-solving abilities.

These are all skills that have an overwhelmingly positive impact on students’ current and future lives.

When looking for a place to

explore and experience the arts, the classes at JDS Creative Academy not only provide students with education, but they provide a place outside of school, work or home to find a support system that is there to see them succeed. In a safe environment where students are encouraged to go beyond their comfort zone, they can find and make, lasting connections with those around them.

JDS Creative Academy programs encourage students’ socialemotional growth, and our musical theater class is an opportunity to not only learn the above-mentioned skills, but to have fun and grow in a collaborative environment. While not all students are in the program to become Broadway performers, they all benefit from

the confidence and leadership skills that help them navigate themselves in the world. The musical theater program is working on a production of Grease, which performs Dec. 18 and 19. We are looking for volunteers to join our crew in December; for students who need it, community service hours can be fulfilled.

For the month of October, JDS Creative Academy holds a Haunted Studio program where students design, build and haunt, turning JDS Studios into a haunted studio of their own making. This workshop not only teaches acting and character development, but also set and prop design, special effects makeup, collaboration, planning and conceptualization. Students today need to be creative with

DON'T MISS OUT ON THE BEST ARE YOU READY TO HALLOWEEN EVENT IN THE CITY!

hands-on experiences that allow them to explore their interests, and at JDS Creative Academy those opportunities are here.

The Haunted Studio is a fundraiser for scholarships that JDS Creative Academy provides for performing arts classes and higher education arts pursuits. Join us Oct. 29 and 30 from 6-9 p.m. for the spookiest event in town.

Call the studio at (951) 2966715 or visit jdscreativeacademy. org/events/ for more information.

Temecula Valley artists in major exhibit

“A New Day” by Janice Cipriani-Willis. Valley News/Courtesy photo

SAN DIEGO – Three artists in Temecula Valley have received one of the highest honors available for watermedia artists anywhere this month. Temecula artist Janice Cipriani-Willis and Murrieta residents Susan Keith and Buffy Kaufman all had paintings that were juried into the highly competitive 41st International Exhibition to be held in the San Diego Watercolor Society gallery as well as online in October. The SDWS’s Liberty Station gallery is at 2825 Dewey Rd, Suite 105, Building 202, San Diego. The art was selected from nearly 620 entries from 31 countries and 38 states by nationally known juror Michael Holter.

Janice Cipriani-Willis’s painting

is titled “A New Day.” The artist began her art education by earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Arts from California State University, Los Angeles. At that time she worked in acrylics and used a loom to weave multimedia sculptures. Her style was exclusively nonrepresentational abstraction.

She exhibited and sold her work via the L.A. ArtCore gallery.

Watercolor has been her media of choice for the past 15 years. She has studied with numerous noted artists and in 2014 Cipriani-Willis was awarded Signature Status in the National Watercolor Society.

In 2018 she was named a Master Signature Member of Watercolor West, having been accepted 10 or more times into Watercolor

West exhibits. Her current work has been inspired by watching people from all walks of life in situations that engender a range of human emotions. She lives and works at Dorland Mountain Arts in Temecula. More of her work can be found at https:// janicecipriani.com.

Susan Keith’s painting is titled “New Day Dawning.” Susan Keith earned her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Painting and Printmaking from San Diego State University. Later on in life, she became a teacher and taught all levels of high school art. Upon retiring from teaching, she has pursued watercolor with a renewed love and interest, launching her professional art career in 2013, and has been exhibiting publicly ever since.

Her work has appeared in both local and regional shows where she has won various awards. Her acceptance into this show earns her Signature Status with the SDWS, as it is her third acceptance into an International Show.

Keith’s watercolors have a sense or impression of realism. She incorporates bright colors in all her paintings to catch the viewer’s eye and is intrigued by light and shadow in so many subjects from foliage and florals to plein air landscapes, architecture and portraits. She lives in Murrieta.

For more information on her and her work, visit sedonasue. wixsite.com/watercolorsbysue.

“A New Day Dawning” by Susan Keith. Valley News/Courtesy photo

Buffy Kaufman’s painting is titled “Westward.” Born and raised in Southern California, Kaufman grew up surrounded by artisans; her grandfather Samuel a woodworker, her father Michael a bow maker and Uncle Patrick a flint knapper. She strives to capture that connection with nature in her watercolors. She chases inspiration out in the desert, up to the mountains or down by the sea, camera in hand, capturing snapshots of her life. Back at the studio, she starts with cotton paper, adding a light sketch to shape the design. Using multiple pours and glazes, she watches the colors blend into the paper’s fibers, creating incredible light leaks and shadows as the paint dries. Additives such as salt, sediment, ink and pastels are sometimes included. Each painting is a story, a painted memory.

Kaufman is affiliated with the Fall-

brook School of the Arts and has exhibited at several international shows. More of her work can be found at www.watercolorpour.com.

The International Show Gallery Exhibit will run from Oct. 3-31 in the SDWS gallery, and the 59 works hung there as well as all 95 accepted paintings can also be viewed on The San Diego Watercolor Society’s website at www.sdws.org. Paintings may be purchased either from the gallery or from the online store.

The Exhibit Catalog is also available online.

The San Diego Watercolor Society, a nonprofit organization founded in 1965, is dedicated to expanding the appreciation of and involvement in watermedia painting through education, exhibition and promotion. More information can be found at www.sdws.org.

Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

Southwest Healthcare System’s Rancho Springs Medical Center Campus in Murrieta and Inland Valley Medical Center Campus in Wildomar broke ground Thursday, Oct. 7, on significant expansion and renovation plans.

According to a news release issued by the healthcare system, the facility master plan, comprising both Inland Valley Medical Center and Rancho Springs Medical Center, will total more than $400 million, the largest expansion investment to date committed by parent company Universal Health Services, a perennial Fortune 500 company.

“The expansion and renovation at Rancho Springs will focus on Women’s and Children’s Services with the aim of establishing, in conjunction with Rady Children’s San Diego, the first pediatric inpatient unit in the region,” Southwest Healthcare System said. “Inland Valley will feature a seven-story tower with a continuation of award-winning services of bariatric weight-loss surgery, the total

joint program for hip, knee and shoulder replacement, as well as surgical services for spine and the region’s only Level II American College of Surgeons Verified Trauma Center.”

Representatives for the company said that both campuses will be equipped with modern, private state-of-the-art patient rooms, installation of leading-edge clinical technologies for minimally invasive procedures and advanced therapies, and globally sustainable infrastructure enhancements including energy-efficient LED fixtures and solar panels.

The project is currently anticipated to be completed in phases over the course of the next two to five years, with particular focus to ensure that the facilities remain open for patient care with minimal disruption.

“This is an historic day for Southwest Healthcare System and the communities we serve,” Jared Giles, CEO of Southwest Healthcare System, said. “The hospital campus at Inland Valley will be transformed into one of the largest healthcare facilities in the region and Rancho Springs is excited to continue our amazing relationship with Rady Children’s Hospital, San Diego. We are proud to be able to elevate the delivery of care that will benefit generations to come.”

Southwest Healthcare System is one of the largest employers in Southwest Riverside County with more than 1,600 team members.

This comprehensive project is expected to create more than 1,000 design and construction jobs, as well as hundreds of new hospital jobs including nurses, therapists, technicians and housekeeping, once all new patient care areas are open.

For more information about Southwest Healthcare System, which currently services on average per year 100,000 patients through its emergency departments, delivers more than 3,000 babies, admits more than 16,000 patients, and performs more than 9,000 surgeries per year, vis-

Getting ready for 2022 Medicare annual enrollment Rick Beavin DESERT PACIFIC MEDICARE

The annual Medicare Advantage and Medicare Prescription Drug Plan enrollment period is approaching. From Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, millions of people eligible for Medicare can sign up, switch or leave a health care plan to fit their coverage needs for 2022.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Medicare information and resources are available to help you choose the plan that’s right for you while staying safe. Websites, online educational events and oneon-one meetings with sales agents are all great ways to learn about your Medicare plan options. At the same time, it’s important to access Medicare resources online while protecting your personal information and avoiding fake offers and other scams.

Here are some tips for how to prepare for the Medicare annual enrollment period.

Use an online tool.

Go to the Medicare Plan Finder on Medicare.gov to compare plans, benefits and get an estimated cost for each plan based on an average member. If you are inter-

ested in Medicare Part D, which helps cover the cost of prescription medications, you can also enter the names of prescription medications you take to ensure those medications are covered by the plan you are considering.

On Medicare.gov, you can also learn about and enroll in Medicare Advantage plans, sometimes called Part C or MA Plans, and visit an insurance company’s website to understand more about what they offer. Insurance companies that offer Medicare Advantage plans can provide detailed information about their plans and services, plus prescription pricing information and other benefits.

You can also check whether your primary care physician or other providers are in-network with the Medicare Advantage plan.

Connect with experts Many insurance companies are offering online workshops to review 2022 Medicare Advantage plan options. Also, check to see if you can schedule a one-on-one meeting with an insurance company sales agent in-person or by phone or video chat. Before you attend an education event or meeting, it’s a good idea to prepare a

list of questions so that you can ensure you get the information you need. Does the plan include vision, hearing and dental coverage? Will telehealth services be covered?

Is transportation to your medical appointments included?

Protect against Medicare scams.

The federal Medicare agency has warned that scammers may try to use the pandemic to steal Medicare beneficiaries’ Medicare numbers, banking information or other personal data. Scammers may try to reach out to you by phone, email, text message, social media or by visiting your home.

Only give your Medicare number to your doctor, pharmacist, hospital, health insurer or other trusted health care provider. Do not click links in text messages and emails from unknown sources, and hang up on unsolicited phone calls.

If you are not comfortable accessing plan information online, you will have the option to meet in-person with an agent this year or set up a phone call. To learn more, go to Medicare.gov or call (800) 633-4227.

Rick Beavin is the president of Desert Pacific Medicare at Humana.

UCSD researchers help map out how cancer mutations affect proteins City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Researchers at UC San Diego and UC San Francisco have mapped out how hundreds of mutations involved in two types of cancer affect the activity of discrete groups of proteins that are the ultimate actors behind the disease, reports published Friday, Oct. 1, revealed.

The work points the way to identifying new precision treatments that may skirt side effects common with much current chemotherapy.

The effort, dubbed Cancer Cell Mapping Initiative, is led by Trey Ideker, professor at UCSD School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center, and Nevan Krogan, director of the Quantitative Biosciences Institute at UCSF, who are co-senior authors on a set of three related studies that describe the map.

The papers appear in a recent online issue of Science.

“The bottom line is that we’re elevating the conversation about cancer from individual genes to whole protein complexes,” Ideker said. “For years, different groups have been discovering more and more mutations that are involved in cancers, but in so many different genes that scientists can’t make sense of it all.

“Now we’re able to explain these mutations at the next level, by looking at how the different gene mutations in different patients actually have the same downstream effects on the same protein machines,” he said. “This is the first map of cancer from the protein complex lens.”

DNA contains the instructions

for building proteins, which then interact with other proteins, almost always in large groups called complexes. These protein complexes, in turn, make up most of the machinery of cells, dictating basic cell functions like feeding, growth and whether the cell develops into cancer. If the underlying DNA has a mutation, the resulting protein machines often will as well.

In cancers, a subset of genes is commonly mutated, Krogan said, and each of these genes can be mutated in hundreds of different ways. In addition, the function of a particular protein may be different in different types of cells, so a mutation in a breast cancer cell might have different effects on protein complexes than that same mutation in a cell in the throat.

CCMI’s goal was to map the constellation of protein complexes formed by approximately 60 proteins commonly involved in either breast cancer or cancers of the head and neck, and to see what each looked like in healthy cells. Alongside that effort, they created maps of how protein complexes are affected by hundreds of different gene mutations in two cancerous cell lines.

Currently, physicians look for a small number of mutated genes as biomarkers to decide whether or not to prescribe a particular drug.

For instance, patients with breast cancer who have an alteration in their HER2 gene are given the medication Herceptin because that’s what has been determined to work best for them.

“The problem is that there are still only a few genes that work in this way, providing reliable biomarkers that are clearly actionable with an

FDA-approved drug,” Ideker said.

“Our studies provide a new definition of biomarkers based not on single genes or proteins but on large, multi-protein complexes.”

Because each protein complex incorporates mutations from a larger collection of genes, it is typically relevant to more patients, Ideker said. For example, XRCC5 is a DNA-repair gene altered in just 2% of colon cancers, which limits the usefulness of this biomarker. Now, however, researchers can look at CCMI’s new map of cancer protein complexes and see that XRCC5 is part of a 15-protein assembly altered in 14% of patients, and that these patients are typically very resistant to standard therapies.

“Indeed, by targeting simultaneously multiple components of these “oncogenic networks,” our collaborative studies will pave the way for the development of more effective combination cancer therapies, while preventing treatment resistance,” co-author J. Silvio Gutkind, chair of the Department of Pharmacology at UCSD School of Medicine and associate director of basic science and co-director of the Head and Neck Cancer Center at Moores Cancer Center, said. “These studies in breast and oral cancer can now be expanded to most human malignancies.”

The most powerful aspect of these extensive protein interaction maps is that they can shed the same light on many other conditions, Krogan said. For example, the team is also at work on similar studies of protein interactions in psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders and infectious diseases.

Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

After having to postpone its annual Earth Day celebration in April due to COVID-19 concerns, the Soboba Tribal Environmental Department was glad to get the green light to host the event Sept. 30. Tweaking the national 2021 theme of Restore Our Earth to be more relevant to tribal lands, the department focused on Restore Mother Earth.

More than 370 visitors to the four-hour event were greeted with music, giveaways, contests and 21 vendors that included many Soboba departments sharing their programs and projects. Noli Indian School students were invited to decorate trash cans that would give an important message about protecting the planet by recycling.

Ten classes collaborated on the cans that were provided by the environmental department and displayed in the center of the booths that were set up outdoors at the Soboba Sports Complex. Environmental Specialist Micah Knox contacted the school to explain the contest criteria.

“I asked them to show something that promotes sustainability for our community using items that get recycled,” he said.

Three winners were chosen to receive either a pizza, ice cream or doughnut party for their class.

“They are all super creative; they did a great job,” Michelle Kaliher, Environmental administrative assistant, said. “They have some really great concepts and put a lot of effort into each one.”

Noli science teacher Jay D’Agostino said all science students were encouraged to participate.

“We also had classroom lessons on recycling and the reasons for conservation,” he said. “We talked about some of the damage that’s already been done and how to minimize things for the future.”

He said the students came up with their own designs and he was pleased with the detail they put into their creations. First place went to Period 5 Chemistry who did a play on Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street, who lived in a trashcan.

Second place was awarded to Noli Agriculture who made a face from recycled tires and other rubber and plastic items. Third place was a tie between the Oceanography class who created a save the beaches theme and 6th grade Science who decorated their can with lots of pictures of things that live in the sky, on land and in the water that need to be protected.

When checking in, children were asked to guess how many crushed plastic drinking water bottles were

stuffed into a larger container. The correct answer was 18 and four children that guessed closest to the total each won an Alien X Treasure Hunter toy.

Cultural Garden Specialist Eloyd Rodriguez shared freshly picked produce with visitors to the Cultural Resource Department’s booths. He had an abundance of green onions, butternut squash and other recently harvested vegetables. Cultural Resource Specialist Jessica Valdez made sure all guests received a reusable lunch bag and a potted succulent to take home as the department also shared some of its projects and programs.

Soboba Tribal TANF offered guests the opportunity to create recycled paper coasters from rolled magazine pages, which provided lots of color. There were also kits for children to make a paper mache planet earth from green and blue squares or a textured earth from green and blue yarn pieces.

Representatives from the Master Gardener program were on hand to offer safe pest control tips as well as ways to keep gardens healthy.

CR&R Environmental Services offered recycling tips and explained its “Anaerobic Digestion” project that turns today’s waste into tomorrow’s energy. GRID Alternatives offered details about solar energy.

The Home Depot in Hemet shared ideas about saving energy by having heating and air conditioning units serviced and provided at-home water test kits. A new vendor this year was KTUA, whose mission is to provide planning and landscape architectural services that promote the sustainable use of resources while creating inspiring and functional environments that support all human activities. They shared the importance of creating an Active Transportation Plan for Soboba that provides better options for biking, walking and transit services.

Also new this year was Kay Pfeiffer, Senior vice president at TrueLifeCare, who was on hand to talk about a new program for Soboba tribal members and employees who receive health benefits that helps with testing and coaching for diabetes. TLC works in partnership with Soboba Rx and aims to empower members to improve their health outcomes.

Jessica Southard and Serra Rea from the Morongo Band of Mission Indians Environmental Protection Department had recycling games for the youngest guests and a lot of handouts and tips for adults about food waste reduction. Some of the easiest ways to minimize waste is to use a shopping list to avoid over purchasing and know how long cold foods can be stored so they are used before they perish.

Southard, an environmental spe-

”

cialist I, said they chose to focus on food waste for this event because it is a widespread problem. Handouts included explaining the ramifications of wasting food citing that the estimated total value of food loss at the retail and consumer levels in the United States was $161.6 billion in 2010. Food waste also leads to climate consequences such as accounting for 8% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and is the single most common material landfilled in the U.S., comprising 24% of landfilled municipal solid waste. One example given is that 31% of fresh tomatoes bought by U.S. households are thrown out, which amounts to 21 tomatoes a year per person.

Southard said the newest development in recycling came with the recent passage of AB 343, which requires package producers to meet strict criteria to be able to use the “chasing arrows” symbol on their plastic packaging in California.

“The bill is helpful because it will take the logo off things that are not widely recyclable to make it less confusing,” she said.

Emma Arres, who assists the Environmental Department in field work, had a chance to visit some of the booths. She enjoyed seeing the different activities each vendor had and found Morongo’s booth to be most memorable.

Avelaka Gonzales and Raven Peterson said they enjoy attending Soboba’s Earth Day events every year.

“I really liked the produce giveaway and all the things they have here for the children is awesome,” Gonzales said, who also brought her 3-year-old daughter Nehsoon Salas.

Marketing department employees from Soboba Casino Resort offered a fun beach cleanup game where participants sifted through sand to find a picture of an item and then had to determine if it should be thrown in the trash or the recycling bin. Prizes included small plush sea creatures.

Soboba Department of Public Safety’s Patrol Officer Tim Cosby and dispatcher Britanny Norris helped guests recycle CDs into sun catchers by decorating them with markers. Soboba Fire personnel offered children coloring books that explain the importance of fire safety and also handed out plastic firefighter helmets.

Antonia Briones-Venegas and Aurelia Mendoza set up their Frybread Kitchen serving regular and Indian tacos to a nonstop line of hungry guests.

Workforce development center puts Menifee on the map for job seekers Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The City of Menifee has worked closely with Riverside County Workforce Development to provide services to Menifee residents over the years. When the opportunity arose to provide a local facility to offer workforce services, the city took advantage of it in order to address the rising unemployment rate as a result of the global pandemic.

Leslie Trainor, deputy director of the Riverside County Workforce Development Division, said it recently augmented its services by launching a Community Career Services initiative. “Its objective is to provide workforce development services and resources at partner locations throughout Riverside County. Through this initiative, we’re meeting customers where they’re at.”

She said the Community Career Services team is pleased to collaborate with the city to provide valuable resources to city residents. Through this partnership, the city is providing space at the Kay Ceniceros Senior Center as part of its Menifee Temporary Employment Center.

“County representatives are available at MTEC to offer workforce development services to residents,” Trainor said. “This collaboration facilitates convenient access to much needed resources as residents and businesses recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The city and county have agreed to this important partnership through at least June 30, 2022, with the possibility of continued collaboration beyond that.”

Menifee’s Economic Development Director Gina Gonzalez said

The recently opened Menifee Temporary Employment Center, in collaboration with Riverside County Workforce Development, offers a state-ofthe-art computer lab and much needed resources to assist job seekers. Valley News/Courtesy photo

it took about six months of planning, procurement and implantation for the center to be opened.

“The computer lab was designed by a collective internal committee consisting of city staff from various departments including Economic Development, Community Development, Information Technology and Community Services,” she said.

The state-of-the-art lab is equipped with 10 computers with cameras and headsets, wireless keyboards and microphones as well as a TV with a soundbar for workshops and presentations, a printer/scanner, and typical software including MS Office 365, Reboot Restore, Adobe Reader, Zoom, WebEx and more.

Gonzalez said the center is ideal for all job seekers looking to find their next employment venture, expand their skills or improve their resume. Candidates can find an array of services including career coaching assistance, resume writing, job search assistance, spe-

cialty training, skills development, specialized recruitment events and workshops for individuals. Businesses searching for employees can also work with the center to fill positions.

“Prior to this center opening, there was not a location in Menifee, or Southwest Riverside County that would have all of these resources available to Menifee residents all in one place locally,” Gonzalez said. “We are seeing a lot of interest in services as we are continuously promoting the center.”

MTEC is staffed by a County of Riverside Workforce Development Representative that is trained in assisting individuals in various aspects of their job search and beyond. The computer lab is at the Kay Ceniceros Senior Center, 29995 Evans Road in Menifee.

“As many businesses are facing the challenges of finding workers, the center brings a workforce representative locally so that employers have the opportunity to work

with the Workforce Development Center database to find quality employees and utilize incentives such as On the Job Training funding assistance,” Gonzalez said.

MTEC is currently open to individuals by appointment only on Thursdays from 1 to 5 p.m., with plans to expand to Tuesday mornings later this fall to provide additional times for potential job seekers. Use is free to qualifying residents. At other times, the center is used for other activities and programming provided by the City of Menifee such as computer skills classes for seniors.

Since the upgrade to the computer lab was funded through the city’s Community Development Block Grant CARES Act and Riverside County Workforce Development Department’s federal funding, the city is required to provide updates on the outcomes of the center. Gonzalez said the city will be working closely with the County of Riverside to collect data to produce reporting as

required for both agencies.

Menifee is the first city in Southwest Riverside County to pilot this program in partnership with Riverside County Workforce Development. Trainor said that Workforce Development is also collaborating with the Riverside County Library System and other partners throughout the County that are providing locations from which workforce development services are available. As the Community Career Services initiative grows, additional opportunities for co-locations of workforce development services are being sought.

To schedule an appointment at the Menifee Temporary Employment Center, call (951) 304-5468.

Hello Auto Group grows its Southern California presence with new dealer acquisition TEMECULA – Hello Auto Group announced Friday, Oct. 7, it has acquired two dealerships in the state of California, John Hine Mazda Temecula and John Hine Subaru Temecula, increasing the Hello Auto Group footprint of dealerships in the Southern California market. The acquisition bolsters the positive reputation John Hine and his dealership organization have built over several decades.

The acquisition was finalized effective close of business Oct. 4.

“John Hine and his dealerships have been mainstays in the Tem-

ecula community for years,” Karl Schmidt, Hello Auto President, said. “We look forward to carrying on the Hine tradition and growing the bond with the local automotive community.”

John Hine and his dealerships have been part of the local community for more than 60 years. Hello Auto Group is a relative newcomer to the California dealership community; however, its leadership team has long standing experience with the Subaru and Mazda brands.

“I’ve known Karl for the better part of two decades,” John Hine,

president of John Hine Mazda and Subaru, said. “We are like-minded in our commitment to the customer experience and the belief that high levels of customer satisfaction can only be achieved through employee satisfaction.”

Hello Auto Group, based out of Valencia, prides itself on bringing a new, welcome approach to vehicle purchasing and ownership.

It’s centered its processes around being upfront, seamless and devoid of the anxieties associated with auto dealerships.

“In developing and growing

Hello Auto Group, we’ve been able to do everything we’ve wanted to do elsewhere, but haven’t been able to,” Schmidt said. “Given the overwhelming reception we’ve seen in Valencia, I’m positive we’ll continue the lasting connection John and his team have made in Temecula and San Diego.”

Hello Auto Group intends to maintain all employees at the Temecula locations and expand the team for future growth.

To learn more about Hello Auto Group, visit helloautogroup.com.

Beyond the new dealership

acquisitions, Hello Auto Group operates Mazda and Kia dealerships in Valencia. A third Valencia location, Hello Subaru of Valencia, is scheduled to open in early 2022 once construction is completed on the new dealership facility. Hello Auto Group is proud to be a trailblazer committed to delivering a more welcoming way of doing business. When they say hello, it’s always a friendly, humble and inviting “Hello.”

Raising Cane’s comes to Murrieta

County solicits bids for Clinton Keith Road extension Joe Naiman WRITER

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved the advertisement for bids for a construction contract to extend Clinton Keith Road from Leon Road to State Route 79.

The supervisors’ 5-0 vote Oct. 5 authorized the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to advertise the project for bids, set a Nov. 3 bid opening date, approved the plans and specifications for the project, approved a mitigation credit agreement, and found that the addendum to the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report does not require further California Environmental Quality Act action.

Construction of Clinton Keith Road between Interstate 215 and State Route 79 was separated into four phases to optimize available funds, although the county’s Transportation Department was able to combine two of the phases.

Phase 1, which was completed by the City of Murrieta in 2011, provided a six-lane road between Interstate 215 and Whitewood Road.

Phase 2 was a four-lane extension from Whitewood Road to Leon Road. Due to cost savings from favorable construction bids Phase 4, which constructed two additional lanes and a median to bring Clinton Keith Road to its ultimate six-lane arterial highway configuration, was concurrent with Phase 2. Phase 2 and Phase 4 were completed in March 2020.

Phase 3 from Leon Road to State Route 79 is the final phase of the project. That will include construction of a bridge over French Valley Creek, installation of traffic signals at the intersections of Clinton Keith Road and Leon Road and

at Clinton Keith Road and Porth Road, a signal modification at the intersection of State Route 79 and Benton Road, and a double-arch storm drain culvert and retaining wall system just south of Leon Road.

The Phase 3 bid documents include two sets of plans. One base bid schedule is for Clinton Keith Road improvements from Leon Road to French Valley Creek. The second base bid schedule is for Murrieta Marketplace improvements from French Valley Creek to State Route 79.

The addendum to the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report was approved in June 2015 and included Phase 3. The addendum included the purchase of mitigation credits from the Riverpark Mitigation Bank. The county will pay $418,950 for those credits.

The $418,950 mitigation credit cost and the estimated $27,597,095 construction cost create a total estimated cost of $28,378,045.

A community facilities district for Clinton Keith Road will fund the majority of that expense with Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee funding and Southwest Area Road and Bridge Benefits District revenue also providing some of the money. After the traffic signals are constructed the estimated annual operation and maintenance cost is $5,500, and gas tax revenue will cover that expense.

The construction is expected to begin in early 2022 and be complete during summer 2023. A traffic management plan will address access during construction for residents and emergency vehicles.

Supervisors set Nov. 2 hearing to renew Temecula Wine Country Tourism Marketing District Joe Naiman WRITER

City of Temecula adds GreenPower’s EV Star to its fleet for senior and special program mobility

GreenPower’s EV Star in Downtown Temecula. Valley News/Courtesy photo

TEMECULA – GreenPower Motor Company Inc., a leading manufacturer and distributor of zero-emission, electric-powered, medium and heavy-duty vehicles, together with the City of Temecula, announced the delivery of an ADA-accessible EV Star for use by the City of Temecula’s Mary Phillips Senior Center.

“The City of Temecula has been eying our purpose-built EV Star for over a year now. We are thrilled to not only deliver this unit to the city, but also highlight our ability to continue successfully leveraging available programs like the VW Mitigation Trust.”

Michael Perez, Director of Con-

tracts and Grants at GreenPower, said. “Additionally, I would like to thank the Temecula City Council including Councilmember and TCSD President Zak Schwank, whose forward-thinking direction led to securing a grant that replaces the city’s older gasoline bus with a zero emissions bus. We also thank the city manager’s office including staff member Stacey Brown whose commitment to this project in a challenging pandemic environment was critical to its completion.”

Schwank said that a “safe, reliable, emissions-free ride” for the community is what the city was after.

“The EV Star provides just that,” he said. “By leveraging VW mitigation funding in the amount of $160,000, we’ll see an immediate positive impact on operational costs and emissions reduction, so it’s a win for the entire community.

We are glad to have a GreenPower EV Star join the city’s fleet.”

GreenPower has leveraged its flagship EV Star Platform with six distinct models serving the cargo, delivery and micro transit markets. The EV Star is the only bus in its class that comes with a standard J1772 level 2 and CCS DC fast combo charge system, allowing for optimal flexibility in route planning for any duty cycle.

A Nov. 2 Riverside County Board of Supervisors hearing will determine whether or not the Temecula Wine Country Tourism Marketing District is renewed.

The marketing district has a sunset date of Oct. 31 and needs action to continue the assessment district.

The Oct. 5 board of supervisors meeting included a 5-0 vote to set the Nov. 2 public hearing.

In November 2015 Visit Temecula Valley requested the formation of the Temecula Wine Country Tourism Marketing District. The district includes a benefit assessment which helps fund marketing and sales promotion activities for Temecula Wine Country lodging businesses. Tourism marketing districts allow lodging and other tourism-related businesses to have an organized effort. The business owners within the district are assessed to provide the funding which is used for services the businesses desire and which benefit the district’s lodging businesses. The Temecula Wine Country Tourism Marketing District assessment is 2% of the rate for overnight

room stays.

The assessment funds may not be diverted for other purposes, the district is customized to meet the needs of each destination, and they provide a stable funding source for business promotion. A tourism marketing district allows for a wide range of services including marketing the destination, tourism activities and sales lead generation. The district is designed, created and governed by those who pay the assessment.

The boundaries of the renewed district will include all lodging businesses within the boundaries of the Temecula Valley region. If the district is renewed the renewal would be effective Nov. 1 and would terminate Oct. 31, 2026, unless renewed again.

The current estimate is that the district would generate approximately $780,000 each year to promote travel and tourism specific to Temecula Valley. The assessments are remitted to the county Treasurer-Tax Collector on a quarterly basis.

Week Seven high school football recap from around the valley

Despite falling to Temescal Canyon for the first time in school history, Heritage RB Jason Chupany led the way for the Patriots on the ground with 66 yards. Valley News/Action Captures Media Group

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

With three weeks to go in the high school football regular season, things are going to quickly turn into a mad dash for the playoffs, especially for those teams that are falling behind in the standings.

The season is rolling into Week Eight, which means there is a lot of work that can still be done, but it must be done quickly. With the completion of Week Seven games, as always, the Southwestern League is a good place to start with when it comes to recaps. Of the three games played, a total of 14 points were put up by teams that lost, and for the teams that won, almost 120 points lit up the scoreboard.

First up, in a home game, Murrieta Valley defeated Great Oak, 42-7, and the week prior, the Nighthawks beat Temecula Valley 56-0. That is nearly 100 points on the plus side, and only one TD their defense has given up in league play. With Chaparral taking a loss last week, and Vista Murrieta still undefeated in league, all eyes are on the Oct. 22 matchup between the two league-title contenders.

As for Week Seven, Nighthawk senior quarterback Brandon Rose looks to already be in playoff form completing 16 of 20 passes and throwing for 335 yards and four touchdowns in the first half alone.

Murrieta Valley (2-0 in league; 4-3 overall) scored touchdowns on four of their five first possessions to take an early 28-7 lead.

In the second half, Murrieta Valley running backs Travis Karg and Asa Chatman combined to rush for 173 yards to lead the running game. The Nighthawk offense ended the night with 579 yards on offense and its defense forced three second-half punts and sacked Great Oak’s Cole Vasquez twice. Great Oak has only beaten the Nighthawks twice in their 16-year history of playing against each other.

Rose finished the game completing 21 of 26 passes for 401 yards and hooked up with Tiger Bachmeier six times with receptions totaling 141 yards, as well as Tayven Lamprey, who added five catches for 116 yards.

Vasquez completed 11 of 21 passes for 127 yards, running back Robert Russ gained 48 yards on eight carries for Great Oak and receiver Cade Bryant led the Wolfpack with four receptions. Murrieta Valley will travel to Murrieta Mesa this week and Great Oak will host Vista Murrieta.

Further down Interstate 15, in Menifee to be exact, a second-half touchdown reception by Grant Givens was the clutch answer for Temescal Canyon in Week Seven action as the Titans defeated Heritage for the first time in school history. Temescal Canyon won the Ivy League bout 21-14. This was the 11th time the two schools had met, dating back to their first meeting in 2010.

Quarterback Koa Apana led the way for the Titans, completing 20 of 26 passes for 194 yards and had

61 yards on 10 rushing attempts.

Givens finished his night with 10 receptions for 80 yards. Heritage (2-5, 1-1) was led by Jason Chupany who totaled 66 yards on 11 attempts. Jaylen Tanniehill scored both touchdowns for the Patriots with his 23 yards on the night.

More quick game recaps Vista Murrieta (2-0, 6-1) 51, Temecula Valley (0-2, 5-2) 0: Quarterback Brady Jones threw for 311 yards to help the Broncos pick up their second straight Southwestern League win. Grant Wayne caught three touchdown passes for Vista Murrieta (6-1, 2-0) while Gavin Galzote led the rushing game with 60 yards and a TD. Elsinore (5-2) 28, Hemet (1-0, 4-3) 7: Donovan Harvey, the area’s leading rusher, ran for 176 yards and a touchdown as the Tigers beat Hemet in a nonleague bout. Jamari Jones scored a pair of touchdowns for Elsinore (5-2).

Chaparral (1-1, 4-3) 25, Murrieta Mesa (0-2, 0-6) 7: Hunter Roddy rushed for 89 yards and three touchdowns as the Pumas (4-3, 1-1) handed the Rams their sixth straight loss of the season.

Hamilton (2-0, 3-3) 62, St. Jeanne de Lestonnac (0-4, 0-5) 7: The Hamilton Bobcats rushed for 471 yards to win their second consecutive South Valley League game this season. Jamal Robinson ran for 191 yards on 23 carries, and Rafael Marquez added 123 yards on 14 carries for Hamilton (3-3, 2-0).

Prep volleyball recap: Week ending 10/9

CIF Southern Section cross country poll updates

Linfield Christian continues to secure the No. 2 spot in the CIF Southern Section Division 5 coaches’ polls for girls’ cross country.

Derryl Trujillo CONTRIBUTING WRITER

It was a busy penultimate week of the regular season across our area. We’ve got Players of the Week to honor, updated CIF-SS Coaches Polls and Playoff Calendar, along with leagues to watch in this final week of regular season action.

CIF-SS Coaches Poll as of 10/5 A new poll comes out just after our deadline so here are Valley News area teams with rankings as determined by the CIF-SS volleyball advisory committee from last week.

Division 1/2 6. Vista Murrieta Division 6 5. West Valley Division 8 6. Temecula Prep Players of the Week 10/9 We honor a couple of Paloma Valley stars this week as wins over Hemet and Heritage put the Lady Wildcats in position to win an Ivy League championship.

Senior middle hitter Rachel Lowe recorded 24 kills on 43 attempts with two errors for an impressive .512% attacking percentage on those two wins. Wildcats coach Stephen Kaas said about Lowe, “Rachel has been dominant all season and is one of the area’s best middles. She can hit many different sets, attack the whole court, puts up a big block, and is a tough server. Her blocking in the fifth set against Heritage was huge in our victory.”

Senior setter Leila Cornejo is the other honoree for Paloma Valley this week. In Friday’s win against Heritage, she recorded 43 assists, 8 aces, and 18 digs as the Lady Wildcats completed an undefeated week. Kaas said about Cornejo, “Leila has been our leader all season. She puts our hitters in one-onone situations with almost every set which has given us a different kill leader in nearly every match, has one of the area’s best serves, is a good defender, and natural leader.” Cornejo is committed to Westminster (Utah).

Player of the Week 10/2 Vista Murrieta finished fourth at the Nike Tournament of Champions last weekend with a 5-2 mark and Lady Broncos junior outside hitter Claire Little joins Heritage’s Jameson Sanders as a “Player of the Week.” Little recorded 77 kills (.328% attacking percentage), 8 aces, and 41 digs in those seven matches. Via email Broncos coach Ed Taitano said, “Claire is a fierce competitor not just hitting the ball but a complete 6 rotation outside hitter with a high volleyball IQ with passing and digging to match.

As the competition gets tense she is always up for the challenge.

Claire is a positive leader and catalyst for her teammates and as a bonus, is really fun to watch. Nike TOC has been a great tournament for us to battle and prepare for our league and CIF playoffs.”

League Updates Ambassador Western Christian is enjoying one of their most successful campaigns in recent history and with a win at Desert Christian Academy on Monday can play Ontario Christian for the league title on Tuesday. Linfield Christian should qualify for the playoffs in their first year since the program won back-to-back titles in 2018-2019.

Last week’s CIF Southern Section polls for the sport of cross country were released and here is a look at the local area teams that have cracked the rankings. The polls are managed by PrepCalTrack and the CIF-SS Advisory Committees that oversee each individual sport and are up-to-date as of Monday, Oct. 4.

BOYS’ CROSS COUNTRY DIVISION 1 2. Great Oak 9. Vista Murrieta GIRLS’ CROSS COUNTRY DIVISION 1 2. Great Oak 7. Vista Murrieta DIVISION 2 10. Murrieta Valley DIVISION 5 2. Linfield Christian TOP MARKS Here are the top CIF Southern Section times recently clocked by Inland boys’ and girls’ cross country

runners, according to Athletic.net.

Brandon Calderon (Vista Murrieta) 14:45.6; 7. Mark Cortes (Great Oak) 14.46.8; Glenn Bell (Rancho Cucamonga) 14:48.9; 9. Ramses Cortes (Great Oak) 14:49.6; 10. Cameron Smith (Great Oak) 14:57.6.

each have one league loss but are likely not going to play their second head-to-head matchup. The Tigers were in COVID protocol last week and according to both sides an officials’ shortage is making a makeup date difficult to find.

Mountain Pass One match on Thursday will determine this league championship and that’s West Valley at San Antonio, No. 5, and No. 6 in last week’s CIFSS D6 poll.

Southwestern Vista Murrieta has clinched the league title and Great Oak, under first year head coach Cheyanne Te’o, is in position to earn runner-up honors with one more win. Temecula Valley and Chaparral will fight for the last automatic playoff spot.

Sunbelt Riverside Poly holds a one match lead starting this week and will play Temescal Canyon at home on Wednesday for the title.

With wins by Notre Dame and Temescal Canyon there is a possibility of a three-way tie for the Sunbelt championship. *Rancho Christian is a freelance program and currently 13-6 with a match left against Nuview Bridge according to MaxPreps data. Their playoff entry will depend on if there are enough automatic qualifiers from leagues in Division 5 to fill a 32-team bracket. In 2019 they were not given postseason entry because Division 7 did not have openings.

Playoff Calendar • 10/16: Pairings released at cifss. org • 10/19: Wildcard matches where necessary • 10/21: 1st round • 10/23: 2nd round • 10/27: Quarterfinals • 10/30: Semifinals • 10/6: Finals (D1 @ Mira Costa, all others at campus venues) ***First serve is 6 p.m. unless otherwise noted Linfield joins 5-0 in 5s club It is no great secret that there has been a significant increase in five set matches across our area.

Beaumont won their first five matches that went the distance before falling on Wednesday to Cajon. Thursday night in Riverside it was Linfield Christian’s turn to join the club with their fifth straight five set win on the road at Woodcrest Christian. Only one team in recent area history has won more than five straight five set matches and that was the 2016 Woodcrest Christian team led by current CBU player Tesa Oaks, which went 7-0 in 5s with five of those in postseason play. The Lady Lions this year are led by former Murrieta Valley star, Dana Ortiz.

Joe Quinn SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

The Santa Rosa Academy Rangers traveled to Nuevo Friday, Oct. 10, to take on the Knights of Nuview Bridge in a South Valley conference game. The Knights sit atop the Conference standings and their play during Week Seven showed they belong there.

Nuview moved the ball almost at will with long passes, significant ground gains and even on special teams. Their speed in the passing game was obvious as they continually beat the Rangers secondary for long gains off the strong arm of their QB. Things looked fairly even early in the first quarter, even after the Knights struck first. On only their third play from scrimmage, Nuview crossed the goal line to take the lead 7-0. However, the Rangers answered quickly on a 30-yard keeper by Adam Pinard to the left side. The point after failed for Santa Rosa and the Knights led at that point 7-6.

From there on though, it was mostly all Nuview Bridge as with 10 minutes remaining in the half, they were up 28-7. The Knights scored their final TD of the second quarter on a 30-yard pass on the first play, after recovering a Ranger fumble deep in their own territory.

The Rangers stayed in the game and answered as the quarter wound down. With three minutes left in the half they moved the ball to inside the Knights five from where Daniel Gonzalez took it in up the middle putting the Rangers back in the mix, but barely so, at 28-13.

From there, it would have been nice to go into halftime and re-

group, but the Knights moved the ball quickly, scoring again with less than a minute remaining. With the successful two-point conversion the teams went to the locker room with the score at 36-13. The Knights added touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters and the Rangers had no answer as the game closed with a final score of 48-13.

The game was expected to be a lot closer given that both teams had scored at will against common opponent St. Jeanne de Lestonnac, the Knights winning 56-0 and the Rangers 53-7. Further, the Rangers entered the game close. The staff would not make excuses, but the Rangers were significantly disadvantaged by injuries in the last week.

Five starters were missing from the Week Seven game, including key performers from last week’s game, Luke Adams (lineman) and WR Justin York. Others not playing were Cameron Quesada (RB, LB) and WR Jeff Sims. Center Eli Aguilar and two other players, whose names could not be verified at the time of this article going to print, also were not available.

Santa Rosa will be home in Week Eight taking on second place Hamilton High of Anza. The Bobcats are 2-0 in league and 3-3 on the season coming off last week’s victory over St. Jeanne, 62-15. Santa Rosa is now 3-3 on the season and 2-1 in League and is hoping they can get their injured Rangers back early this week as they continue in the hard part of league play.

Soccer Saints unite athletics and academics on the field

Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

When Ryan Beard decided to create a soccer enrichment program for children, he wanted to be sure it included building character and brain power as well as footwork skills. He founded Soccer Saints in 2019 with his wife Estrelle and currently has four locations that attract children from 3-12 on a weekly basis.

“At Soccer Saints we bridged the gap between education and athletics,” Beard said. “We infuse every class with STEAM education. There are three different ages of curriculum that we have and each age group has curriculums for four different seasons throughout the year. We teach children from 3-12 years and we’re always having parents coming in and stretching our ages even further.”

The coaches teach the STEAM element of the class about halfway through the lesson. Some of the STEAM activities include the engineering aspect of how pumping up a soccer ball really works, playing “How’s My Math, Mr. Wolf?” where the children are given a math question and then dribble their soccer ball as many times as their answer warrants.

Important soccer skills such as dribbling, controlling the ball and scoring goals are taught through the use of age-appropriate games played throughout the hourlong lesson. The players also learn tactics of the game as well as positioning and strategy.

“We are so passionate about what we do,” Beard, 34, said. “We started Soccer Saints because we felt there was a gap in children’s soccer. Soccer is probably the most popular sport in the world and in the United States it is extremely popular with children.”

Beard has taught sports through a number of different companies including TGA Sports where he was selected to train coaches and new franchise owners how to manage and coach coaches. He also taught privately. During his many years of teaching soccer, golf and tennis, he said he heard multiple times, especially from children that they’ve “already done soccer or tennis.”

“Retention was a big issue,” he said. “Children had lost the fun of the game and I believe this is for multiple reasons.”

Beard, of Temecula, said many clubs have high level coaches but feels there are three main issues as to why children don’t continue with the sport. He cited that travel time to games can be upward of two hours, the cost per quarter can be more than $2,000 and parents on the sidelines sometimes pressure their children, which can prohibit development.

Beard serves as head coach and his wife, Estrelle, Adam Chrestman and Monse Barragan are also members of the coaching staff. All are highly experienced, especially with children. Chrestman played soccer professionally and became a Head Coach for Real Salt Lake and loves Soccer Saints’ coaching environment and organization.

Barragan grew up in the Temecula Valley and played lots of soccer as a goalkeeper.

“I like the fun the kids have out here,” Barragan, of Wildomar, said. “The curriculum flows right into whatever skills we are teaching them and I like that we have a word of the day, which adds to their character development.”

The word of the day Oct. 2 was optimistic which the players were told meant being hopeful and confident. “When we learn something new, we want to be optimistic,” Beard told the children and emphasized its use throughout the remainder of the class.

“We are really blessed to have lots of returning players and we feel it’s because of the way our curriculum is designed to be progressive, fun and can always challenge players to improve on their skills,” Beard said. “We teach our coaches how to coach a multi-level class, meaning working on a skill modified to be slightly easier for a student just beginning and made to be more challenging for those students who are more advanced.”

Shawn Brant of Hemet said his wife found out about Soccer Saints on Groupon and their eight-yearold son, Jesse, has been enjoying his lessons while his younger sister likes the Menifee park’s nearby playground equipment.

“With COVID, it was hard to find places for him to be active sports wise,” Brant said. “It turned out to be more than I was expecting. Coach Ryan is great, exactly what a team leader should be. He’s encouraging and communicates with all of the kids.”

Joel Wind of Murrieta agrees saying that “Coach Ryan is absolutely phenomenal. I’m a former competitive ice hockey player and as a top athlete I can say that he is one of the best coaches I’ve seen.”

After attending two programs at the YMCA and through AYSO, Wind said his son, Kai, was not engaged with sports until he joined Soccer Saints and started working with Beard. “This program is very well put together,” he said. “Kai 100% wants to stay after the lesson and wants to help out Coach Ryan.

It’s about the buy-in you get from your coach; how he relates and communicates while continuing to model consistency by giving all kids the same level of encouragement and engagement.”

Kai, now 8 years old, said he likes the classes because the coaches are nice, adding, “I have fun coming here; scrimmage is the most fun.”

Toward the end of each class, the coaches videotape each child scoring a goal which is emailed home to families so they can monitor the progress throughout the session. The children then play a short scrimmage where they can practice what they’ve learned in the class that day.

Adalynn Bolbat, 7, started taking classes at the end of the summer and loves it. Her mother Kourtney Bolbat, of Menifee, said, “She likes all sports, she’s very outgoing and she likes academics, too, so this program is great.”

Alberto and Pamela Rogers have three of their seven children enrolled in the younger players’ class. Maddox, 5 and 4-year-old twins Emmalyn and Addisyn took to the field after the older children, which included their sister Tracie,

finished their class.

“They do have a really good program here,” Pamela Rogers said. “It’s more than soccer and it’s not competitive or regimented like AYSO. So far we’ve been very pleased with what we’ve seen.”

Beard plans to continue growing Soccer Saints and will add more coaches as he finds ones with the highest standards, strong experience working with young children and the ability to fit into the organization.

Weekly classes are held in the cities of Fallbrook, Menifee, Murrieta and Temecula. The County of San Diego invited Soccer Saints to become a contractor with the county so they can hold classes at the Fallbrook Community Center.

Each has a VIK station for Very Important Kids to take water breaks or rests during the lesson.

Growing up in Southampton, England, Beard played soccer in the United Kingdom for many years but his main sports were rugby and squash, where he was a County squash player. He was also a big fan of the Southampton Football Club, nicknamed The Saints.

He has been able to have the team become an International Academy Partner with Soccer Saints.

“In the spring we’ll have a group of children that will travel to England for a weeklong player development camp with the academy coaches who have coached players that are now playing for Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and even Real Madrid,” Beard said.

Beard moved to America in 2005, to pursue an acting career and appeared in many commercials. While attending The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles, he was named Best Actor among his peers. After several years in the industry, he decided to return to the sports world and develop Soccer Saints.

He said during the height of the pandemic, Soccer Saints had to shut down for about 10 months but used the time to focus on branching out and developing more curriculum so there is nothing repeated during a typical 12-week session.

“We are flexible and always welcome feedback from parents, coaches and the kids, of course,” he said. “We always want to do our best in bridging the gap between athletics and academics.”

Soccer Saints hosted several summer camps and will have a recreational league this winter for the first time. Families are invited to try out a complimentary class at any time and all sessions are prorated so families only pay for the classes remaining in the session.

Beard has scheduled a meetand-greet for potential players and a scrimmage for existing ones Dec. 18 from 9 a.m. to noon at Patricia H. Birdsall Sports Park’s Field 1, 32380 Deer Hollow Way, Temecula. Everyone is invited to attend the free event to learn more about what the Soccer Saints are all about.

California eases gang enhanced sentence rules Don Thompson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO (AP) – California Gov. Gavin Newsom approved limiting prison terms for those associated with street gangs, among several criminal justice bills restricting enhancements that can add years to offenders’ sentences Friday, Oct. 8.

In doing so he followed recommendations from an advisory committee the most populous state created last year to continue reducing criminal penalties in the latest attempt to relax tough-on-crime policies that jammed prisons to the bursting point just a decade ago.

Newsom, a Democrat who last month defeated an effort to recall him in midterm, approved a bill limiting gang enhancements to organized, violent criminal enterprises.

The California Police Chiefs Association said the bill is unworkable because it can require prosecutors to first prove the underlying crime without telling

jurors that it was gang-motivated.

That bill was proposed by Democratic Assemblywoman Sydney Kamlager, one of several lawmakers who sat on the California Committee on the Revision of the Penal Code that lawmakers created last year.

“Gang enhancements have long been used against people of color far more frequently than their white counterparts,” Kamlager said.

Sentencing enhancements can add years to prison terms and are imposed with “extreme racial disparities,” the committee said in February. For instance, it found that 99% of those given a gang enhancement in Los Angeles County are people of color.

The committee is made up of current and former lawmakers, judges and academics, and led by Michael Romano. He separately directs Stanford Law School’s Three Strikes Project, which helped persuade California voters to ease a three-strikes law that was considered the nation’s toughest

law targeting repeat offenders.

Romano said the committee “is committed to improving public safety for all Californians while reducing unnecessary incarceration and inequity in the criminal legal system.”

A second bill signed by the governor also was proposed by the seven-member committee and carried by another committee member, Democratic Sen. Nancy Skinner.

It requires judges to give “great weight” to mitigating circumstances that favor dismissing enhancements that can greatly extend the length of prison sentences, unless doing so would endanger public safety. Skinner said enhancements are much more likely to be imposed on Black suspects.

The bill “sends a clear message to our courts: Let’s use sentence enhancements judiciously and only when necessary to protect the public,” Skinner said.

But the California District Attorneys Association argued

that “defendants should be held accountable if they engage in aggravated conduct during the commission of a crime, particularly if it results in added trauma or injury to a victim.

The prosecutors added that judges “should be given discretion and flexibility in determining whether to impose or dismiss an enhancement, something judges currently have under existing law.”

The governor also approved a bill to retroactively remove enhancements that required an extra year in prison or jail for repeat offenders and an additional three years for certain prior drug crimes.

Lawmakers previously eliminated the enhancements without removing them from existing sentences.

Earlier this week the governor also signed two other measures supported by the advisory committee.

One ends mandatory minimum prison or jail sentences for nonviolent drug offenses while giving judges more discretion to impose probation or other alternative

sentences.

The second makes good behavior credits available to those who are in a mental health treatment facility.

Several other of the committee’s recommendations failed to gain legislative traction this year.

The recommended bills were among criminal justice measures signed by the governor.

They include one that enshrines court rulings that say judges must impose the middle of three possible sentences allowed by law unless there are mitigating or aggravating circumstances. That bill says the aggravating circumstances must be admitted by the suspect or found true beyond a reasonable doubt by a judge or jury.

He also approved another Kamlager bill a year after vetoing her first attempt. The measure, which already has $10 million set aside in the state budget, will start a grant program to support community-based alternatives to police response during emergency calls.

Encinitas says beaches remain open after increased tar ball reports City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Beaches in Encinitas have remained open despite increased reports of tar balls washing ashore on North County beaches, city officials said.

On Thursday, Oct. 7, the county Health and Human Services Agency advised the public to be cautious at beaches and avoid contact with tar balls.

In an update on its website Friday, Encinitas also informed

residents that they might see members of shoreline assessment teams working along the Encinitas coast evaluating tar balls found on the beaches in North County to determine their source.

It is unclear whether the increased numbers are directly related to the oil spill off the Orange County coast, a county official said.

Natural geologic processes may cause tar balls to wash ashore and visible oil hasn’t been detected, the official said.

The warning is precautionary, as oil content may vary widely based on location and health impacts are unknown, the official said. Crude or processed oil can be carcinogenic and contact should be avoided.

However, brief contact with the substance “is unlikely to cause significant or lasting health concerns for most people,” the official said.

Some people are especially sensitive to certain chemicals possibly found in oil slicks or tar balls, and may develop skin rashes or other conditions, the official said.

People coming into contact with tar balls should clean themselves thoroughly with soap and water or other skin-safe cleaners, according to the official.

The agency advised people not to use degreasers, cleaning solutions or solvents as they may further damage skin, and seek medical attention if they develop a significant rash or suffer a reaction.

Encinitas officials asked residents who observe any oil or tar balls to email tarballreports@ wildlife.ca.gov and provide the

date, time and where the oil was observed; a brief physical/visual description or photographs, along with the estimated quantity; and contact information.

Residents who see wildlife affected by oil should not attempt to help, as this requires special handling, but instead should call (877) 823-6926, a city official said.

An update on animals recovered during the oil spill is at owcn.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/pipeline-p00547-incident.

Landmark California law bans ‘forever chemicals’ in products for infants, children SACRAMENTO – Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation Tuesday, Oct. 5, to protect infants and children from the toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS by banning the compounds in cribs, playpens and many other products.

The ban takes effect July 1, 2023.

Written by Assemblymember Laura Friedman, D-Glendale, the law bans the use of PFAS in a wide range of “juvenile” products, as defined in the law.

“As a mother, it’s hard for me to think of a greater priority than the safety and well-being of my child,” Friedman said. “PFAS have been linked to serious health problems, including hormone disruption, kidney and liver damage, thyroid disease and immune system disruption. This new law ends the use

of PFAS in products meant for our children.”

PFAS are a class of thousands of chemicals linked to increased risk of cancer, harm to fetal development and reduced vaccine effectiveness. They are known as forever chemicals because they do not break down in the environment and build up in the blood and organs.

“This law puts California in the lead for protecting children’s health,” Bill Allayaud, EWG’s director of California government affairs, said. “We applaud Gov. Newsom for giving parents confidence that the products they buy for their children are free from toxic PFAS. “It’s heartening that for this legislation, the chemical industry

joined consumer advocates to create a reasonable solution, as public awareness increases of the health risks posed by PFAS exposure,” he said.

The PFAS coating on juvenile products such as infant seats and toddler mattresses can wear off and get into dust that children might inhale. In some cases, direct ingestion is possible for very young children, who explore the world through their mouths.

“Children are particularly vulnerable to harm resulting from PFAS exposure,” David Andrews, Ph.D., senior scientist at EWG, said. “Many PFAS chemicals bioaccumulate and are found in the blood of almost all Americans, including babies and infants.

“Multiple studies have found

toxic PFAS in every breast milk sample tested. Babies and children cannot escape exposure from these chemicals and should not be test subjects for the chemical industry.

It is absolutely critical that we eliminate all unnecessary exposure to this family of chemicals as soon as possible,” he said.

In November 2017, two of the most notorious PFAS chemicals, PFOA, the Teflon chemical, and PFOS, formerly an ingredient in 3M’s Scotchgard, were added to California’s Proposition 65 registry of chemicals known to the state to cause reproductive toxicity. Inclusion on the registry means products that may expose consumers to PFOA or PFOS must carry warnings.

The chemical industry has long

opposed the systemic regulation of PFAS as a class. However, California’s Department of Toxic Substances Control has firmly stated that the science shows these chemicals should be regulated as a class, not as individual chemicals, since the industry is adept at keeping ahead of regulation by rapidly developing new versions of PFAS that are just as troubling.

The Environmental Working Group is a nonprofit, non-partisan organization that empowers people to live healthier lives in a healthier environment. Through research, advocacy and unique education tools, EWG drives consumer choice and civic action. Visit www. ewg.org for more information.

Hydropower decline adds strain to power grids in drought

Supervisors approve dispatch and communications services agreement with Idyllwild FPD Joe Naiman WRITER

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved a cooperative agreement for the Riverside County Fire Department to provide dispatch and communications services for the Idyllwild Fire Protection District.

The 5-0 vote by county supervisors Oct. 5 to approve the cooperative agreement, also granted the county fire chief the authority to negotiate and execute amendments to the agreement subject to approval by County Counsel.

The current agreement covers the period from July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2025. The Idyllwild Fire Protection District has been contracting with the county for dispatch and communications

services since 2001. The previous contract was approved by the board of supervisors in August 2019.

The county charges for dispatch and communications services are based on the number of fire stations and the number of calls. The Idyllwild Fire Protection District has one station and the county and fire district anticipate 480 calls during Fiscal Year 2021-22, which would mean a current fiscal year reimbursement of $78,968 and an estimated cost to the Idyllwild Fire Protection District of $315,872 over the four-year agreement period.

SUDOKU bywho Myles Mellor and toSusan City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

ST. LOUIS (AP) — After water levels at a California dam fell to historic lows this summer, the main hydropower plant it feeds was shut down. At the Hoover Dam in Nevada, one of the country’s biggest hydropower generators, production is down by 25%.

If extreme drought persists, federal officials say a dam in Arizona could stop producing electricity in coming years.

Severe drought across the West drained reservoirs this year, slashing hydropower production and further stressing the region’s power grids. And as extreme weather becomes more common with climate change, grid operators are adapting to swings in hydropower generation.

“The challenge is finding the right resource, or mix of resources, that can provide the same energy and power outputs as hydro,” Lindsay Buckley, a spokesperson for the California Energy Commission, said.

U.S. hydropower generation is expected to decline 14% this year compared with 2020, according to a recent federal forecast. The projected drops are concentrated in Western states that rely more heavily on hydropower, with California’s production expected to fall by nearly half.

The reductions complicate grid operations since hydropower is a relatively flexible renewable energy source that can be easily turned up or down, experts say, such as in the evenings when the sun goes down and solar energy generation drops.

“Hydro is a big part of the plan for making the whole system work

together,” Severin Borenstein, a renewable energy expert at the University of California, Berkeley and board member of the California Independent System Operator, which manages the state’s electric grid, said.

Borenstein noted that hydropower is important as the state works to build out its electricity storage options, including by installing batteries that can dispatch energy when it is needed.

Ben Kujala of the Northwest Power and Conservation Council, which handles power planning for the Columbia River basin, also noted that grid operators have adapted how they deploy hydropower in recent years to ensure that it complements solar and wind energy.

Power grids linking Western regions also offer some relief.

While California can face multiyear stretches of dry weather, the Pacific Northwest usually gets enough precipitation in the winter to recover and produce hydropower to export.

But this year, the Northwest was also hit by extreme heat and less precipitation, according to Crystal Raymond, a climate change researcher at the University of Washington. While energy planners account for drought years, Raymond said climate change over the long term may further reduce the amounts of melting snow in mountains that fill reservoirs in the spring.

In August, California officials shut down the Edward Hyatt hydropower plant for the first time in its 60-year history after water levels at Lake Oroville sank to historic lows. The plant can produce enough power for up to 750,000 homes, but typically operates at

lower levels.

At Lake Powell on the ArizonaUtah border, federal officials recently said there is a 34% chance that the Glen Canyon Dam won’t be able to produce power at some point in 2023, up from a 3% chance for next year, if extreme drought persists.

Declines in hydropower production in California this summer coincided with heat waves, forcing the state to buy extra power. To prevent outages in late September, state officials said they were deploying temporary emergency generators.

“The drought did compound the difficulty of meeting demand,” Jordan Kern, an energy and water systems expert at North Carolina State University, said.

In some Northwestern states, hydropower production has reverted closer to normal levels after dipping just below their 10-year ranges earlier this year. California’s hydropower levels remained at the bottom of the state’s 10-year range through June. Federal forecasts say much of the West is likely to continue to see drought conditions through the end of the year.

Declines in hydropower production mean production bumps for other energy sources. Natural gas power is expected to rise 7% in California and 6% in the Northwest this year over last, according to federal forecasts. Coal generation is forecast to rise 12% in the Northwest.

The California Air Resources Board says the state has been able to continue reducing the electricity sector’s greenhouse gas emissions despite swings in hydropower generation in recent years.

Southwest Airlines flight cancellations continue into Monday

David Koenig THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DALLAS (AP) — Southwest Airlines canceled nearly 2,000 flights over the past weekend, leaving tens of thousands of people stranded with no way to get to their destinations.

Cancellations, which were being blamed on air traffic control issues and bad weather for weekend “operational challenges” that resulted in 1,900 canceled flights Saturday, Oct. 10, and Sunday, Oct. 11, continued into Monday.

By late morning Monday, Southwest had canceled about 365 flights, 10% of its schedule for the day, and more than 600 others were delayed.

The Federal Aviation Administration, which provides air traffic control services, took the unusual step of pushing back against Southwest’s explanation. Southwest Airlines was the only airline

to report such a large percentage of canceled and delayed flights over the weekend.

Shares of Southwest Airlines Co. briefly fell more than 4% on Monday before a partial recovery; they were down less than 2% by late morning.

The widespread disruptions began shortly after the union for its pilots asked a federal court to block the airline’s order that all employees get vaccinated against COVID-19. The union said it doesn’t oppose vaccination, but it argued in a filing Friday that Southwest must negotiate before taking such a step.

As the scope of Southwest’s operational meltdown became clear over the weekend, the pilots’ union denied reports that pilots were conducting a sickout or slowdown to protest the vaccine mandate. The Southwest Airlines Pilots Association said it “has not authorized, and will not condone, any job action.”

The union offered another explanation: It said Southwest’s operation “has become brittle and subject to massive failures under the slightest pressure” because of a lack of support from the company.

The union complained about the “already strained relationship” between it and the company.

Valley News Managing Editor Kim Harris was one of those affected by the cancellations. Harris had flown to Minnesota to attend a funeral Oct. 6 and had planned to return to Ontario airport Oct. 9.

“I’ve had three flights cancel on me,” Harris said, adding that Southwest did provide her with vouchers and paid for a hotel room for what she said the airline representatives had called an “inconvenience.”

“Now they are saying they can’t get me back to California until Wednesday,” she said. “I am just trying to make the best of it, but yeah, it’s a little frustrating.”

Harris said that as of Monday morning, she had spent more than $700 due to the canceled flights and expects that amount to continue to increase.

“The majority of it was the extension of my rental car, but before my flight Wednesday, I’ll have had to buy meals for five days and other incidentals, including some prescription medications.” she said. “While I definitely support the workers wanting to keep freedom of choice as to whether or not to get the COVID vaccine, at some point Southwest needs to provide a resolution, not just for me, but for all of those who can’t get to their destination due to the cancellations.”

The White House has pushed airlines to adopt vaccine mandates because they get paid under federal contracts, making them subject to President Joe Biden’s order that federal contractors require vaccination among employees.

United Airlines was the first major U.S. carrier to announce a vaccination requirement. Southwest had remained silent even after Biden announced his order for federal contractors and large employers. Finally last week Southwest told employees they must be fully vaccinated by Dec. 8 to keep their jobs. Workers can ask to skip the shots for medical or religious reasons.

Savanthi Syth, an airlines analyst for Raymond James, said the weekend problems will increase Southwest’s costs and worsen the company’s strained relations with unions.

Southwest has struggled all summer with high numbers of delayed and canceled flights. In August it announced it was trimming its September schedule by 27 flights a day, or less than 1%, and 162 flights a day, or 4.5% of the schedule, from early October through Nov. 5.

Tornadoes cause damage in Oklahoma; storms rock central U.S. The Associated Press

COWETA, Okla. (AP) — Severe storms brought suspected tornadoes and baseball-sized hail to parts of Oklahoma, but there were no reports Monday of deaths or injuries.

The severe weather system that hit Oklahoma late Sunday also brought heavy rain, lightning and wind to parts of Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Texas, and more stormy weather is predicted for later this week in parts of the central U.S. Severe weather is not unusual in the Southern Plains in October, said Chuck Hodges, senior meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Tulsa. But Sunday’s storm “was kind of more of a spring setup,” he said.

“We had unusually high moisture and a very, very strong weather system that came

through,” he said.

Tornado warnings and reports of damage popped up across Oklahoma beginning Sunday afternoon, and survey crews with the weather service will head out Monday to determine how many tornadoes struck, Hodges said.

A possible tornado hit the Tulsa suburb of Coweta late Sunday causing significant damage to a high school, homes and a gas station, news outlets reported, and Coweta Public Schools classes were canceled Monday.

Building damage was also reported in Anadarko, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) southwest of Oklahoma City.

Earlier, baseball-sized hail shattered windows and dented cars in Norman, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) south of Oklahoma City.

In Missouri, survey crews were headed out to rural areas in the southwestern part of the state to

determine if tornadoes caused damage that was reported overnight, the weather service said.

Weather radar indicated possible tornadoes near Neosho and Golden City between 1:30 a.m. and about 5 a.m. Monday. Doug Cramer, a weather service meteorologist in Springfield, said there have been vague reports of damage from those areas in Jasper and Newton counties, but no reports of injuries.

Lightning that appeared to be from the same line of storms delayed an NFL game between the Buffalo Bills and the Chiefs in Kansas City, Missouri, for about an hour Sunday night.

On Monday, severe storms were possible in parts of Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan while another round of storms is predicted Tuesday in Kansas and Oklahoma, the Storm Prediction Center said.

In this image made from video, debris from tornadoes pile around the pumps of a filling station late Sunday, Oct. 10, 2021, in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Several reported tornadoes ripped through Oklahoma late Sunday into early Monday morning, causing damage but no immediate word of deaths or injuries. (KWTV via AP)

Cyberattacks concerning to most in US: Pearson/AP-NORC poll Alan Suderman THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Most Americans across party lines have serious concerns about cyberattacks on U.S. computer systems and view China and Russia as major threats, according to a new poll.

The poll by The Pearson Institute and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that about 9 in 10 Americans are at least somewhat concerned about hacking that involves their personal information, financial institutions, government agencies or certain utilities. About twothirds say they are very or extremely concerned.

Roughly three-quarters say the Chinese and Russian governments are major threats to the cybersecurity of the U.S. government, and at least half also see the Iranian government and non-government bodies as threatening.

The broad consensus highlights the growing impacts of cyberattacks in an increasingly connected world and could

boost efforts by President Joe Biden and lawmakers to force critical industries to boost their cyber defenses and impose reporting requirements for companies that get hacked. The poll comes amid a wave of high-profile ransomware attacks and cyber espionage campaigns in the last year that have compromised sensitive government records and led to the shutdown of the operations of energy companies, hospitals, schools and others.

“It’s pretty uncommon nowadays to find issues that both large majorities of Republicans and Democrats” view as a problem, said David Sterrett, a senior research scientist at The AP-NORC Center.

Federal lawmakers are considering legislation to strengthen both public and private cyber defenses.

Michael Daniel, CEO of the Cyber Threat Alliance and a former top cybersecurity official during the Obama administration, said the poll shows the public is firmly aware of the kind of threats posed online that cybersecurity experts have been stressing for years.

A new Pearson Institute/AP-NORC poll finds about 7 in 10 Americans consider the Chinese and Russian governments a big threat to U.S. government cybersecurity. Fewer say so about nongovernment actors.

COURTS AND CRIME Man who killed older brother found guilty of murder City News Service

Special to Valley News

A Sage man who gunned down his older brother during a brawl and stashed the body where it apparently remains hidden to this day was convicted Thursday, Oct. 7, of second-degree murder.

After two days of deliberations, a Murrieta jury found Edgar Mancia guilty of the June 2019 slaying of 29-year-old Daniel “Danny” Mancia.

Riverside County Superior Court Judge Timothy Freer scheduled a sentencing hearing for Dec. 17 at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta.

Mancia, now 30 years old, is being held without bail at the nearby Byrd Detention Center, facing 15 years to life in state prison.

The prosecution and defense made their closing statements Monday, Oct. 4, and jury deliberations in the three-week trial got underway Tuesday morning.

“The defendant’s conduct created the situation,” Deputy District Attorney Josh DeGonia told the jury.

“His conduct led to the death of Daniel Mancia.”

DeGonia pointed to the frequent battles between the brothers as confirmation of their underlying animosities, fueled by excessive alcohol consumption.

On the night of June 16, 2019, another altercation erupted inside the Mancia family home in the 40000 block of San Ignacio Road.

“It spilled into the hallway, then into the living room,” the prosecutor told jurors.

The intensity of the clash sent Edgar Mancia’s girlfriend fleeing from the residence for her own safety, according to the prosecution.

DeGonia recalled how the brothers were using everything they could get their hands on to strike each other, including a towel rack torn from a bathroom wall.

The prosecutor said that Edgar Mancia likely used a .308-caliber rifle to end the fight and snuff out his brother’s life.

“Actions have consequences,” the prosecutor said. “The defendant must be held accountable for his actions.”

Defense attorney Michael Scafiddi told jurors that they were being asked to convict his client of murder “based on purely circumstantial evidence.”

“No one is 100% sure what happened to him,” Scafiddi said.

He emphasized the size difference between the siblings, Daniel Mancia at 6 feet, 2 inches and 230 pounds, and the defendant at 5 feet 11, inches and 180 pounds, as an important element regarding who likely had the upper hand during the fight.

“Daniel breaks my client’s face,” the attorney said, adding that “whatever act was committed” by Edgar Mancia to protect himself was probably justified.

Scafiddi said instead of the scenario outlined by the prosecution, in which the defendant shoots his brother and manages to transport his body where it will never be found, it’s possible the victim left the residence in a highly agitated state following the clash and met with foul play elsewhere.

The attorney pointed to the numerous marijuana farms in the area, which are often occupied by armed individuals who will shoot trespassers. He said Daniel Mancia could have wandered onto one and been killed, then thrown into a ditch.

The bottom line, according to the attorney, is that there was no DNA evidence, “no smoking gun” and no witnesses, leaving open any number of possibilities.

According to DeGonia’s trial brief, in an interview with detectives within a couple of days of his brother’s disappearance, “Edgar claimed he remembered Daniel was on top of him, and at some point, Daniel choked him.

Edgar said he ... may have obtained a kitchen utensil and stabbed Daniel.”

The .308-caliber rifle was located hidden in bushes at the rear of the property.

“Some of the nearby residents reported hearing the sound of a gunshot that Sunday night,” according to the brief.

Daniel Mancia had a felony drunken driving conviction from 2014, court records show.

Felon who killed man in love triangle sentenced City News Service

Special to Valley News

A parolee who gunned down a romantic rival on a Hemet street was sentenced Friday, Oct. 8, to 125 years to life in state prison.

A Banning jury in August deliberated less than a day before convicting 42-year-old Samuel James Wright of Hemet of the 2020 slaying of Frank Ray of Hemet.

Jurors found Wright guilty of first-degree murder, 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 imposed the maximum sentence during a hearing at the Banning Justice Center.

According to the prosecution, there was ill will between the defendant and Ray because both men were involved with the same woman, whose identity 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 43-year-old 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, then turned and drew a 9mm semiautomatic 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.

He said that Wright threatened his lover before fleeing 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 gunman, according to prosecutors.

The parolee was spotted eight days later driving an unregistered vehicle in Pomona, where a patrolman attempted to stop him, culminating in the defendant bailing out of the Buick sedan and running a short distance before he was apprehended, Oswill said.

According to court records, his prior convictions include assault and assault with a deadly weapon.

Robbery suspect fatally injured in crash after victims fight back City News Service

Special to Valley News

A 29-year-old man suspected of joining a cohort in trying to rob a Hemet motorist was killed when the victim drove his vehicle into a ditch while fighting to get away, pinning the suspect against the side of the car, authorities said Friday, Oct. 8.

Robert Lee Casas of Hemet was fatally injured shortly after 8 p.m.

Thursday on Menlo Avenue, just west of North Cawston Avenue, according to the Hemet Police Department.

Lt. Nathan Miller alleged that Casas and 27-year-old Phillip David Campbell of Hemet confronted the driver, whose identity was not disclosed, and his friend, also not identified, as they sat in his car and spoke near an apartment complex.

Casas and Campbell allegedly busted several windows on the car and then “demanded money from

the victims,” Miller said.

“During the struggle with the suspects, (the driver) put the car into gear and tried to get away,” the lieutenant said. “The victim accelerated but quickly lost control and struck a drainage ditch. Casas, who was struggling with the driver during this time, suffered injuries when he was pinned between the ditch and the car.”

The ditch has berms, and the suspect’s body was jammed between the raised earthen structure and the vehicle, according to police.

Miller alleged that Campbell fled the location immediately after the crash.

Hemet Fire Department personnel arrived within a few minutes and extricated Casas, who was taken to Riverside University Medical Center in Moreno Valley, where he died less than an hour later from catastrophic internal

injuries.

The two victims suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scene by paramedics, Miller said.

He said that Campbell was stopped in a vehicle not far from the crash and taken into custody without incident.

The suspect was booked into the Hemet City Jail on suspicion of attempted robbery, and is expected to be transferred to a Riverside County detention facility. Bail information was not immediately available.

“While this investigation is still ongoing and far from being completed, at this time, neither victim is expected to face criminal charges following the unfortunate and senseless death of Robert Casas,” Miller said.

Anyone with information was asked to contact investigators at (951) 765-2396.

Felon accused of starting fire in Menifee to stand trial City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A felon accused of igniting a fire that killed two animals in a Menifee home, then fleeing to Arizona, must stand trial for arson and other charges, a judge ruled Thursday, Oct. 7.

Sean Joshua Halas, 53, of Menifee was arrested in July and extradited back to California.

Following a preliminary hearing at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta, Riverside County Superior Court Judge Timothy Freer found there was sufficient evidence to warrant a trial on the arson count, as well as possession of an incendiary device for the purpose of arson and two counts of animal cruelty.

The judge scheduled a postpreliminary hearing arraignment for Oct. 20 and left Halas held on $5 million bail at the Byrd Deten-

tion Center in Murrieta.

According to prosecutors, on the morning of June 24, Halas allegedly lit a fire inside a property on Shoreline Drive in an apparent act of revenge against the owner, whose identity was not disclosed.

The house sustained significant damage, and a dog and bird perished in the flames, according to the District Attorney’s Office.

Halas was on probation for a second-degree attempted murder conviction connected to a domestic attack in 2018, according to prosecutors, who said he was sentenced for that crime six days before the fire.

Halas had been living at the location he allegedly set aflame.

Witnesses alleged they saw his pickup racing away from the residence shortly after the blaze erupted, according to the D.A.’s office.

Based on evidence collected at the scene and witnesses’ statements, the probationer was charged with the felony offenses.

Prosecutors noted that at Halas’ sentencing June 18 for the attempted murder conviction, the government had sought a nine-year prison term, but Superior Court Judge Jorge Hernandez instead imposed a 365-day jail term, as well as three years felony probation.

With credit for more than 600 days of time served awaiting trial, the jail term was nullified.

A warrant was issued for Halas’ arrest at the end of June, and the Pacific Southwest Regional Fugitive Task Force initiated a search for him that eventually led to Bullhead City, Arizona, where he was taken into custody without incident in mid-July.

Ex-instructor who engaged in illicit sex with Riverside girl sentenced City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A former teacher who molested a Riverside high school girl was sentenced Friday, Oct. 8, to two years felony probation and nine months in a work release program.

John Torrez, 27, of Loma Linda pleaded no contest in May to two counts each of oral copulation of a minor and unlawful intercourse with a person under 18 years old.

Prosecutors objected to the plea, which was directed to Riverside County Superior Court Judge Gail O’Rane, who overruled the objection.

The term of probation and work release stipulation were handed down by the judge after she considered a Department of Probation report on Torrez’s offenses. Work release mandates that a defendant remain employed, attend school or

volunteer time during the period defined by the judge.

“Our office filed a brief requesting that the court exercise its discretion and require the defendant to register as a sex offender, which was denied by the court,” District Attorney’s Office spokesman John Hall told City News Service.

Torrez was arrested in March 2020 following an investigation by the Riverside Police Department, focused on the defendant’s interactions with the North High School student, identified in court documents only as “Jane Doe.” According to prosecutors, Torrez, who worked on assignment from the Office of Education as an instructor, had multiple encounters with the girl in 2019.

The Riverside Unified School District is being sued by the victim, who is represented by attorney Morgan Stewart.

In his civil complaint filed in February, Stewart wrote that the school district and Riverside County Office of Education “ignored all of the warning signs” that girls were being targeted by the defendant.

Only one victim was named in the criminal complaint. However, the lawsuit alleges Torrez found opportunities to “be alone with minors in secluded areas of the school, and drive minors off campus.”

“The abuse took place in such locations as the training room at North High School, the storage garage ... in Torrez’s personal vehicle and at Torrez’s personal residence,” according to the suit.

Torrez had no documented prior felony or misdemeanor convictions in Riverside County.

MSJC teams with Garner Holt Education to build Animatronic Makerspace

Mt. San Jacinto College (MSJC) has contracted with Redlands visionary Garner Holt Education to build an Animatronic Makerspace at the college’s San Jacinto Campus. Valley News/MSJC courtesy photo

Mt. San Jacinto College has contracted with Redlands visionary Garner Holt Education Through Imagination (GHETI) to build an Animatronic Makerspace at the college’s San Jacinto Campus.

The GHETI AniMakerspace, in conjunction with MSJC design and engineering classes, will give students the ability to learn the practices and skills needed to become problem-solvers, designers, builders and technical operators.

The $832,472 AniMakerspace will take over two classrooms in the 100 Building on the campus and could open as soon as January 2022. It will also be adjacent to the campus’ new STEM building that is scheduled to debut in 2023.

The MSJC Board of Trustees unanimously approved a contract with GHETI at its Sept. 9 meeting.

A video shown during the meeting explained how animatronics inspires and teaches Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) learning.

“Animatronics bring stories to

our students and community. We can’t wait to unveil it to everyone in 2022.”

Animatronics date back to the early 1960s with the famed Imagineers at Disneyland. Garner Holt Productions has made nearly 500 animatronics for Disney, including the dragon in the Fantasmic show at Disneyland.

“It helps students earn that competitive advantage that they’ll need for the workforce of tomorrow,” Ryan Rainbolt, the president of Garner Holt Education through Imagination, said.

The AniMakerspace will feature three animatronic figures, 3D printers, programming tables, two laser cutters/engravers, sewing machine, 10-needle embroiderer, 86-inch monitors and more.

The AniMakerspace arrives a few years after MSJC’s Eagle MakerSpace, housed on the college’s Menifee Valley Campus.

It features 3D printers and a laser cutter that students use throughout the academic year to create various

life through mechanical innovation, immersive experiences and technical wizardry,” the video’s narrator said. “These highly sophisticated characters require feats of conceptual digital design, creative engineering, manufacturing, programming and visual performing arts.”

Dr. Roger Schultz, MSJC Superintendent/President, said the AniMakerspace’s potential is endless.

“We’re thrilled with this innovative and inspiring project,” Schultz said. “Animatronics has applications in such a wide range of fields.

This will poise our students well for many career opportunities. The innovation the AniMakerspace will lead to will be a spark for the San Jacinto Campus and our whole district.”

MSJC Provost Joyce Johnson, who leads Career Education at the college, has helped guide the AniMakerspace project.

“We’re excited for this amazing opportunity,” Johnson said.

Gosch Ford Temecula opens annual scholarship submissions for local high school seniors TEMECULA – Class of 2022: Gosch Ford Temecula is now accepting applications from Temecula and Murrieta high school seniors for its fourth Annual Local Scholarship Awards, part of Gosch Ford Temecula’s Education First program. This year, 50 local students will each be awarded a $1,000 college scholarship, helping to further their education after graduation and invest in their futures. Since starting the scholarship program four years ago, Gosch Ford Temecula has awarded $159,000 to local high school seniors. Applications will remain open from now until March 31, 2022.

“The purpose of our scholarship program continues to focus on providing opportunities for the next generation of professionals in our community to thrive through higher education,” Jason Noble, general manager of Gosch Ford Temecula, said. “Setting students up for success by assisting in their education beyond high school, regardless of GPA, is just one of the ways we invest in the communities we serve.”

The Local Scholarship Awards is one of three educationally based programs designed to benefit teachers and students in the community. Eligible applicants must first create a one to two minute video explaining how they are putting education first and why

they deserve to win a $1,000 scholarship from Gosch Ford Temecula then upload to a video sharing platform through YouTube or Vimeo. Each student must complete an application online at https://goschfordeducationfirst. com/local-scholarship-awards/ before March 31, 2022, to be considered for one of the 50 scholarships. After March 31, 2022, a panel of community judges will review all submissions and select the 50 winners based on a variety of categories. The winners will be notified in April 2022 by email with their invitation to the awards ceremony. All scholarship winners will be entered into a lottery and one winner will be presented with an additional $3,000 scholarship, $4,000 total.

Smithsonian Science Education Center launches new Sustainable Communities guide for youth WASHINGTON – The Smithsonian Science Education Center has developed “Sustainable Communities! How will we help our community thrive?” a new community research guide for youth ages 8-17. The guide, which is based on the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals, aims to help young people explore how they can make a difference in their communities through topics such as inclusion, urban planning, housing, transportation, resource use and waste.

Throughout the guide, young people are introduced to a wide variety of perspectives, develop research skills and learn from real scientists from around the globe, while discovering the value of their existing knowledge and feelings about their communities.

They are guided to understand different aspects of sustainable communities through scientific and social-scientific investigations, social-emotional learning opportunities and civic engagement activities. Finally, youth use what they know and have learned to decide and implement actions to make their communities better.

“As a global community we face many challenges that students have questions about, biodiversity loss, climate change, pandemics,” Carol O’Donnell, director of the Smithsonian Science Education Center, said. “This community research guide encourages young people to discover, understand and act on questions about the roles that people, community spaces, housing, infrastructure, transporta-

tion and resources play in helping our communities thrive.”

The Smithsonian Science Education Center will share the information to youth worldwide in collaboration with the InterAcademy Partnership. The guide is free and can be found at https://ssec. si.edu/sustainable-communities.

“Sustainable Communities! How will we help our community thrive?” is made possible through the support of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.

About the Smithsonian Science Education Center The Smithsonian Science Education Center is transforming K-12 Education Through Science in collaboration with communities across the globe. The SSEC is nationally and internationally recognized for the quality of its programs and its impact on K-12 science education.

About the InterAcademy Partnership Under the umbrella of the InterAcademy Partnership, more than 140 national, regional and global member academies work together to support the vital role of science in seeking evidence-based solutions to the world’s most challenging problems. In particular, IAP harnesses the expertise of the world’s scientific, medical and engineering leaders to advance sound policies, improve public health, promote excellence in science education and achieve other critical development goals.

Hamilton Bobcats win Homecoming game 64-15 Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

The Hamilton High School Bobcats stormed the field for a 64-15 win during their homecoming game over the Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac Mustangs Thursday, Oct. 7.

Offensively it was all about the running game with running back Jamal Robinson, No. 9 and fullback Rafael Marquez, No. 11, making the most of their carries.

Robinson had 23 carries for 191 yards, an 8.3 yard average, and scored one touchdown and two extra point conversions.

Marquez had 14 carries for 123 yards, an 8.8 yard average, and scored two touchdowns.

There were also big plays made by senior Josh Weaver, No. 21, who had 60 yards on four carries with one touchdown. Quarterback Caleb Speir, No. 13, had one running touchdown and threw a touchdown to senior receiver Ayden Hyland, No. 4 and another extra point conversion score to senior Alex Lopez, No. 24.

The senior offensive linemen got to run the ball as well with scoring runs from all four of them: Aurelius Orozco, No. 70; Jacob Crawford, No. 69; Zack Vollan, No. 75; and Isaiah Esparza, No. 72.

The Bobcat defense kept constant pressure on the Mustangs

quarterback by the blitzing linebackers and the defensive linemen paired with the coverage from the Bobcat defensive backs. Marquez was all over with tackles for losses, sacks and a safety sack. Senior Brady McDermott, No. 7, also had a great game by securing two sacks and making many more plays with huge pressure on the Mustang

quarterback.

“Speaking of Brady McDermott, he also made every extra point kick attempted and consistently kicked the ball through the endzone on his kickoffs,” Coach Patrick McGowan said. “These athletes have been through so much and it is incredible to see how much better they are be-

coming in this season. They are starting to play more together as a team, and it is the perfect timing to do so.”

Anza Valley Outlook • www.anzavalleyoutlook.com • October 15, 2021

ANZA LOCAL POISON from page AVO-1 “I maintain owl boxes on my property,” he said. “Barn owls are an excellent, natural way to control rodents. This morning I found my nesting pair dead below their box.”

The consumption of poisoned rodents by the birds is suspected in the sudden owl deaths.

Throughout the state, poison bait used to kill rodents has inadvertently hurt or killed countless wild predators and birds of prey.

Animals that feed on squirrels, rats, mice and gophers, such as owls, hawks, raccoons, bobcats, mountain lions, foxes, skunks and coyotes consume dead or dying rodents that have eaten these baits and will also be poisoned. Dogs and cats may also eat affected rodents and even bait that is within their reach.

“Please, if you are using poisons to control rodents, stop. You may have contributed to the killing of these beautiful birds,” Dolan said.

The anticoagulant chemicals used in rodenticide products can be transferred to an animal eating the dead or dying pest. Predators and scavengers such as owls are exposed when they eat rodents that have been poisoned with these baits.

Rodenticides provide a very slow death for their targets, and it commonly takes several days after ingestion for the animal to expire. During that time, the rodent may still move about in search of food and water. As the rodenticide works, they become slow and sluggish, and as a result, will be the first to be picked off by hungry predators.

The use of non-chemical rodent controls, such as exclusion, trapping, encouraging natural predators and sanitation, are safer choices.

Light is an effective deterrent to rodents taking up residence on your property. Most of these pests prefer dark and quiet quarters, so light it up and make the area bright and loud. Install lighting where the animals are most often seen and it will help deter them. Put a radio in the area and set the dial to a talk radio station to make them even more uncomfortable.

Scent deterrents can also be deployed, and homemade peppermint essential oil solution is safe

for all animals concerned.

Humane exclusion is the technique of preventing animals from entering your home or outbuildings. Fix holes in fences, crawl spaces and other locations.

There are a number of attractants that will cause wildlife to move into your property. Food, water, plus safe areas to breed and raise young motivate animals to take up residence. Removing the attractants is advised.

The California Department of Pesticide Regulation has restricted public access to rodenticide products containing the active ingredients brodifacoum, bromadiolone, difethialone and difenacoum.

These poisons may only be used by licensed professional exterminators for use in and around human-made structures. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has also implemented a nationwide ban on consumer use of some rodenticide products.

According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, they have also seen an increase in the number of strychnine-related wildlife losses in recent years.

Strychnine is only legally used to control pocket gophers and must be placed underground in gopher burrows.

Any above-ground use of this chemical may lead to unintentional poisoning of wildlife and pets, and may lead to enforcement action by CDFW, the County Agricultural Commissioner, or both.

“There should be some awareness before people put owl boxes up on their property. Something like checking with their closest neighbors and asking if they use rodent bait. If the answer is yes, they shouldn’t put up an owl nesting box. Of course, it won’t stop the deaths, but it may reduce the amount of nests getting poisoned,” local raptor expert Dominique Rauton said.

Rodents are important food sources for many local predators, especially owls. One barn owl family may consume 1,300 mice and rats in a year. While welcoming their natural pest control abilities, we must also protect their food source from harm.

The Hallows Eve celebration earned its unusual name in memory of ATHYRIO member Stacy Kuhns’ mule, Hobo.

“We are excited to host another great Hobo Halloween event, and we look forward to seeing the kids and adults having fun. We’ll have games for both the equestrian and non-equestrian. Hope to see lots of locals there,” Gail Price, ATHYRIO vice president, said.

The fundraiser will ask for donations of $5 per members’ families, $10 for non-member families and $5 per non-member individuals.

All profits go to support the charity’s holiday gift drive and other educational events throughout the year.

Horse games for young equestrians will be the main focus, plus children’s activities, pumpkin

painting, a stick horse race and a sampler horse show. Vendors will be on hand to offer a variety of wares.

“Our Hobo Halloween is such a fun time for the kids,” Kuhns said.

“Some pretty amazing pumpkins have been painted and the Build Your Stick Horse Then Race ’Em is fantastic. The day is filled with lots of laughter!”

“ATHYRIO is open to all horse owners past, present and future,” Cezanne Jodka said.

The About That Horse You Rode In On is a nonprofit charity organization.

ANZA LOCAL DOGS from page AVO-1 and vaccination. This includes the unincorporated communities of Anza and Aguanga.

It is unlawful for any person to keep any adult dog, four months of age or older, within the unincorporated area of the county, for a period longer than 30 days, unless a currently valid license tag has been issued by the county. The tag must be displayed on the dog’s collar or harness at all times. Licenses may be obtained or renewed online.

The dog must also be vaccinated against rabies by a veterinarian by 1 year of age and the vaccine updated every three years. After each vaccination, the vet signs a certificate, keeps one copy and remits that to the county. The owner gets the other copy for their records. The county will only issue a license with this certificate along with payment of licensing fees.

There are exceptions, such as if the dog has a short-term illness, is pregnant or suffers from a longterm illness and a vet determines that a rabies vaccine will harm the animal. These deferrals must be approved by the county.

Dog licenses are issued after payment of fees. There are several categories, such as one- and two-year licenses for an altered or sterile dog and different fees for intact animals.

Canines owned by recognized dog breeders as defined by Department of Animal Services policy, pay higher fees per dog. Intact and sterile dogs command different fee schedules.

There are provisions for senior citizens 60 years of age and older to have fee decreases in the county ordinances.

Dangerous/vicious dog registration as required by law is

also mandatory.

Dogs such as guide dogs, signal dogs or service dogs as defined in the California Food and Agriculture Code, must also be licensed.

The assistance dog identification tag will be provided at no fee and no fee is required for a license for any dog owned by a public entity.

Licenses must be renewed within 30 days of the allotted time expiration, or a late fee will be charged.

Seniors pay a discounted late fee.

When a dog is adopted or sold, the county must be notified within 30 days and the new owner pays a transfer fee of $6. Late fees apply 30 days after that time expires. If the license tag is lost a replacement can be had for a fee of $6.

Kennel licenses are required to keep more than four dogs. The structure includes Class I (5-10 dogs), Class II (11-25 dogs), Class III (26-40 dogs), Class IV (41+ dogs) and Sentry Dog Kennel.

To obtain the kennel license, application must be made to the county and inspections of existing structures completed. New buildings must comply with Planning Department guidelines. Licenses will not be renewed if the kennel is in violation of the applicable laws and regulations of the State of California, the ordinances of the County of Riverside and the conditions set forth in the standards for kennels.

The county can limit the number of dogs in the kennel over the age of four months at their discretion.

County inspectors are authorized to enter and inspect the premises of any kennel located in the County of Riverside for the purpose of determining if the kennel is in compliance. As a condition of the issuance of a kennel license, each owner and operator of a kennel agrees to allow such

Dogs in Anza must be licensed, chipped and vaccinated. Anza Valley Outlook/Diane Sieker photo

entry and inspection as part of the license application. Inspections are made during reasonable hours at times when the owner or operator of the kennel is present on the premises. Such inspections may be made without prior notice to the owner or operator of the subject kennel. Willful refusal to allow such inspection shall be grounds for summary denial of an application for a kennel license or for summary suspension or revocation of a kennel license.

Animal rescuers are any person engaged in the rescue of animals.

They are required to first obtain a rescue permit from the Department and meet all requirements and standards for a kennel license. Valid nonprofit corporations formed pursuant to the provisions of the California Corporations Code for

the prevention of cruelty to animals, enables the animal rescuer to keep two dogs with a rescue permit and no minimum land requirement so long as all other requirements and standards for a kennel license are met.

An animal rescuer that is a valid nonprofit may maintain up to 10 dogs with a rescue permit and no minimum land requirement so long as all other requirements and standards for a kennel license are met. Such animal rescuers will not need to obtain a class I kennel permit.

Animal rescuers maintaining 11 or more dogs require a Class II kennel license and the minimum land requirement is 1 acre.

Animal rescuers may keep a maximum of four personal dogs and must include these animals

as “personal pets” on the animal rescue permit application. These animals are included in the overall count that will change the category to Class II kennel permit for 11 dogs or more. Personal dogs must be individually licensed.

The laws and regulations concerning canines in Riverside County seem very complicated, but for the average pet owner with four dogs or less, they can be followed with minimal confusion.

Our Assembly District Assemblymember Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Zachary Elliott SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

My wife is terrified of eating expired food. She’s constantly checking the expiration dates on absolutely every item in our refrigerator and pantry. So zealous is she about avoiding expired items she dumps out the milk two days before the expiration.

What are you afraid of?

I’m sure for you; fear is not a foreign emotion. We all face it, often daily. It can reveal itself in our lives through panic, worry, anxiety, etc.

If you face this issue, let me ask you: Wouldn’t you rather live in peace?

I know the answer to that is probably a loud and resounding yes. We all would rather live in peace.

Here are Three Steps to Living in Peace Accept God’s Spirit of Peace It’s important to understand that fear is not a gift from God. It’s actually contrary to what God gives you.

2 Timothy 1:7 Tells us that “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

He gives you his power to overcome your fears with his strength.

He gives you his love, so you will know that you are loved even when you’re afraid.

He gives you a sound mind so that you don’t let your mind wander into panic mode. Instead, you can rest your mind on him.

Set Your Mind on Peace Fear often comes when you continually think about the problems you face. It often leads to you meditating on the worst-case scenario. How many times has that happened?

You face one little problem, and your mind takes you to an end-ofthe-world scenario.

Romans 8:5-6 says, “Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live

in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.”

Letting the Holy Spirit govern your mind, thinking about spiritual things, leads to life and peace.

That’s why Psalm 1:1-2 says, “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.”

Be a Peacemaker I have a hunch that a lot of the fear you face in life has to do with people. Am I right? I know this because it’s people who cause the most significant problems. We’re sinners!

What would happen in your life if you deliberately decided to live as a peacemaker? Well, I’ll tell you. You will be blessed, have more peace in your life, and be called God’s child.

Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” (Matthew 5:9) If you want to be blessed by God and called his child, be a peacemaker.

Want to know what that looks like on a daily basis? It means getting over the offense, hurt, grudge, bad attitude, selfishness or whatever keeps you from having peace with people.

You should do as Hebrews 12:14 says. It tells us to “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.”

Take these steps and you’ll have more peace in your life.

Zachary Elliott is the lead pastor of Fusion Christian Church in Temecula.

Many people ask me what is the State Assembly and where is our district? I’m always proud to talk about our amazing district and the wonderful people who live here.

The 75th Assembly District, which I am honored to represent, is a “healthy” district, with avocados, citrus, grapes and sunshine for example. From San Marcos and Escondido to Temecula, and every rural community in-between, including De Luz, Pauma Valley, Fallbrook, Bonsall and Valley Center, we are lucky to call this beautiful region home.

The ties that bind us are strong.

Escondido and Temecula are both

railroad towns dating back to the 1800s, with vibrant historic downtowns generating tourism and local business. Today, we’re tied together by the I-15 corridor, over which thousands commute daily to work, to shop, to attend college or just for pleasure. This district is the heart of San Diego agriculture and helps secure the county’s spot as the 19th most productive agricultural county in the nation. Our agriculture adds millions of dollars to our economic vitality and needs to be preserved.

Temecula’s wine country, with its outstanding reputation, also draws tourists from around the world. Our agro-tourism industry has become a major economic driver, locally and for the entire state.

The region’s Native American Tribes also make us unique. San

Parents are responsible for their children’s actions, health, education and welfare, not the state

Fallbrook Union High School District Superintendent Ilsa GarzaGonzalez released a video last week showing damage, allegedly related to a September TikTok Challenge, to bathrooms on campus at Fallbrook High School. If I understand correctly, there was damage to all the bathrooms at the school, but damages to one bathroom alone was more than $4,000, according to Supt. GarzaGonzalez.

Most of the bathrooms at the school were being remodeled so that the students could have nice facilities for use on campus.

That September TikTok chal-

lenge isn’t a one-time thing, according to Garza-Gonzalez who warned that for October, apparently, there is a TikTok challenge to slap a teacher or smack a staff member. Unbelievable.

In her message, Garza-Gonzalez said that the school is asking for leads and they will prosecute the students and also hold the parents or guardians responsible for their minor children’s criminal behavior. I hope the students are found and I hope, for their sake, they face consequences. I hope their parents take responsibility and are a good example to their children to possibly divert future crimes.

What kind of youths purposefully damage other people’s property?

Well, we just have to go back to last year when young people were encouraged to protest. If they were watching video after video of rioting and looting which the nightly news downplayed and excused, it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to think they might excuse their own bad behavior. Free Nike’s, TVs and whatever they wanted.

There was no justice.

According to numerous published reports, the criminals who hurt people and burned and looted businesses were excused. Money was raised for their bail by Hollywood types and then liberal district attorneys refused to prosecute them.

So, if these “TikTok kids” were paying attention, what lesson did they learn? Maybe they destroyed new bathrooms in the name of social justice? Sounds ridiculous.

Almost as ridiculous as the “Summer of Love” or Portland or Minneapolis where small businesses were destroyed. Shame on those cities where they didn’t have a leader like Ilsa Garza-Gonzalez who cared enough to do the right thing and set the example for those students and the rest who, given the opportunity, might follow in their footsteps.

Back to parents being responsible for their children.

Families are the basic building blocks of our society. It’s where we learn to get along with each other. It’s where we learn to fight fair, to love and to have discipline.

If we are raised in a well-adjusted family, we are more likely to be successful in our relationships, in society, at work, etc.

Not only are parents responsible when their children are misbehaving, parents stick up for their children when someone is hurting them. It’s also their responsibility at that point to set things right. If they can’t set things right, they remove them from the situation.

Parents are responsible for their children’s health. Not the school.

Not the state. Not the federal government. This is why parents are fighting against mandates from the government for an experimental vaccine that has damaged or killed thousands of youths who had a very small risk from COVID-19.

The parents are ultimately responsible and there is no compensation from the government. The buck stops with the parents and the children.

Parents are ultimately responsible for their children’s education. Not the government, not the National Education Association.

This is why parents are showing up at school board meetings voicing concern for what they are seeing in low test scores, racist curriculum and Marxist ideologies.

Even if the Justice Department tries to intimidate parents into not being involved in their student’s education, I doubt it will work, because ultimately, at least good parents care more about their children than anyone else and parents are willing to go great lengths and be responsible to make sure things are right.

Diego County has 18 Federally recognized tribal governments; more than any other county in the United States; eight of those lie within the 75th Assembly District, and five are gaming tribes. Tribal economies create thousands of jobs, generate millions in charitable contributions, and finance basic infrastructure including roads, bridges and public buildings. Tribal governments collaborate with nearby jurisdictions, and often provide badly needed emergency services such as fire protection for the reservations and adjacent communities, essential for this fire-prone region.

I am honored to represent this unique community in Sacramento, and proud to call this beautiful district home!
