Menifee City Council Member Bob Karwin for the first time met many of his constituents at his first District 1 Town Hall held at Sun City Civic Association’s Webb Hall Tuesday, Oct. 26. Webb Hall, normally reserved for members only, was mostly filled, with only one attending not living in the Sun City area. Karwin admitted to the large assemblage that he does not live in the Sun City area but promised, although Sun City, once its own unincorporated community of 55 and older residents, would never be “erased” as a senior community in Menifee. His statement brought relief and applause to many of those residents, most over 65, attending who are watching their former

Hemet City Council brings City Net aboard to help reduce growing homeless population in the city Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Hemet City Council approved an agreement with City Net, a growing organization providing outreach to the homeless including offers of shelter and health care, that will include the rental or lease of 10 apartment units to the city for those seeking housing help. The City Net agreement for street outreach and engagement plus emergency shelter or bridge housing for the homeless is for 10-months at a cost of just under $1.2 million. A City Net representative at the council’s Tuesday, Oct. 26, meeting said a portion of the funding may be available through the federal American Rescue Plan Act funds created during the COVID-19 crisis. The remaining cost could come from the city’s supplement appropriations made to meet the 9th District Court’s Martin v. Boise case decision that a city must show it has places to shelter the homeless if they want it and not making it a criminal violation if they are sleeping on the street if they refuse the help. It was the second option offered through City Net to provide organized outreach to the estimated 227 unsheltered persons, as of Aug. 26, on the streets of the city. The number or homeless was determined through an on the street survey made by the City Net team working with the Hemet Police Department and welfare service agencies. The first option offered general street outreach and engagement and other services without the rent or leasing of the 10 motel rooms at approximately half the cost. The council saw the second option as the best for the city police and code

enforcement departments and for those badly in need of shelter which could last from a few days to several months. Before reaching the decision, the council was provided results of the survey that showed 42% of all those surveyed were refusing the help offered and did not want to stay in a congregate shelter or one with little privacy and too many rules. Some reported a bad experience at some of the shelters where they stayed. The survey found most of the homeless in Hemet lived on Florida Avenue and were between the ages of 18 and 34, which is unique to Hemet. Others refused help because they believed the shelters were out of the city they were familiar with. Earlier in the evening in the public comment portion of the meeting Susan Larkin reminded the council that Valley Restart is in the city and provides shelter to women and children who are homeless. She said she appreciated the help the city has provided but was concerned that Valley Restart has similar abilities offered by City Net as well as other organizations in the city. The motion to contract with City Net was made by City Council Member Russ Brown who said he saw City Net being of great help to the city’s police department and how having the motel rooms available would reduce those who are now living on the streets. He was assured by City Net, as was council member Linda Krupa that City Net has strict rules on who can stay in the bridge shelters and are well monitored by the City Net staff. Mayor Karlee Meyer seconded the motion. She asked that if City Net comes aboard to be sure to reach out to all the other organizations,

A program that supports citizens after a life altering event will continue in the city of Temecula. The Trauma Intervention Program of Southwest Riverside County and the City of Temecula approved a sponsorship agreement for $10,000 at the Oct. 27 city council meeting. The Traumatic Incident Program, better known as TIP, is a national nonprofit organization that provides counseling and assistance at incidents when when both the police and fire departments call on them. Services that are offered include assistance to family members at an unexplained death, assault, vehicle accident or any incident that the responding public safety officer deems necessary. According to the TIP website, the Riverside County Chapter of TIP was founded in 1993. There are currently 38 volunteers serving seven jurisdictions, five hospitals and five public safety agencies. This program provides a needed service that offers support to Temecula residents in a time of need.

TIP volunteers undergo a screening process before becoming accepted into the program. Prerequisites include passing a Department of Justice background check and a clean driving record. TIP volunteers also must be able to commit to three 12-hour shifts per month and cannot begin work until they attend a 55-hour training program that includes a one-on-one interview with the board, orientation, intense emotional training and a policies and procedures course. A number of municipalities and organizations throughout Riverside County utilize the Trauma Intervention Program, including the City of Murrieta, Canyon Lake, Lake Elsinore, Menifee and Wildomar. TIP volunteers also provide support in the unincorporated areas of Riverside County. Police and Fire utilize TIP at incidents when lifealtering events take place. Because both entities use TIP’s services, the police and fire departments will split the funding for this program by providing $5,000 each from their Fiscal Year 2021-22 operating budgets.

The city of Menifee announced three major road closures coming in the next few weeks that will delay or detour all but some local traffic. A closure at Palomar Road and Matthews Road, also known as Case Road, has begun with work related to installation of storm drain facilities. The closure is expected to last for the next two weeks. Additional closures are anticipated on Palomar Road in the future as the storm drain continues to move north to Watson Road. Detours signs will be posted while closures are in place. A second closure will result on Goetz Road as Southern California Edison begins the construction on underground existing electrical lines starting at South Canyon Drive and continuing north. The project work is expected to take approximately 12 weeks with construction occurring weekly Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Goetz Road will remain open

Capstone Award finalist helps keep Lake Elsinore safe

Shannon Buckley, director of administrative services for Lake Elsinore and a finalist for the 2021 California Joint Powers Insurance Authority Capstone Award, displays her award at a city council meeting, Tuesday, Oct. 12, with Mayor Pro Tem Tim Sheridan in San Diego.

Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The California Joint Powers Insurance Authority presents the Capstone Award each year to an individual who best exemplifies the practice of risk management by working to support risk management efforts, developing loss control programs and coordinating systems that support their agency’s risk management efforts. Shannon Buckley, director of administrative services for Lake Elsinore, oversees the finance, human resources and risk and IT divisions. She was one of four finalists for this year’s California JPIA Capstone Award as well as in 2019. The award was not presented in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Buckley has worked at the city’s finance division since March 2014 and has worked in government for the past 23 years. According to the CJPIA website, an individual nominated for the award can be a person who works at any level within a member

agency and who ideally “works to support traditional or enterprise risk management efforts for the member agency; develops, implements and administers loss prevention and loss control programs to mitigate risk exposures for the member agency; coordinates support systems that serve the member’s risk management goals and needs; influences others in developing quality risk management programs for the member agency.” Buckley said risk management is about providing services to the community, monitoring operations, assessing exposure and creating policies and procedures to reduce the risk. “Responsibility includes training, risk management, claims and finance,” she said. “Related activities involve, among others, developing training plans, conducting risk management evaluations, facilitating contract analysis and consulting on complex issues of risk.” Buckley said a recent example was when the city had to create a

substantial number of policies and procedures for staff and the community as part of the COVID-19 pandemic to keep everyone safe. It included employing testing and vaccination support that ensures they are always monitoring the risk within the organization. She said the city has been proactively addressing the pandemic for the past 18 months. “With every change in terms of restrictions and reopening, my team and I have had to work thoughtfully to determine the best decision for our staff and the community,” she said. “This is difficult, and we have to weigh the outcomes of every decision in terms of how they affect our residents, businesses, children, staff, etc.” Buckley said what she likes most about her job is seeing the city grow and prosper and how well everyone works together as a team because they share the same goals and vision for the city. She has enjoyed watching the growth and progress of the city since she has been there. Securing funding “We have been able to secure funding in a variety of ways to complete critical projects in our community while also ensuring our long-term financial stability,” she said. “In addition, we have an amazing staff, City Council and community that are eager to make a difference and create a worldclass city that is a destination in southwest Riverside County.” Some of the other projects and programs addressing risk management that Buckley has been directly involved in include the implementation of a new Citizen Self Service Portal and financial management software that allows for 24/7 service to the community and has streamlined processes for staff. “Looking ahead we are looking at new tools to become more transparent with our community about capital projects in the city and the associated costs and processes; this is currently underway,”

Buckley said. “Every year new requirements are imposed on cities by the state or federal government, such as recent mandates for shade structures in our parks. A critical part of our job is to tackle these maintenance projects in our parks to not only extend the useful life of the equipment but also reduce the city’s risk related to safety.” She said some challenges of her job are the workload and competing interests. “The city of Lake Elsinore is a smaller city and all of our staff have to wear multiple hats to meet the demands of our community and the organization,” Buckley said. “Also, when discussing risk, the city must be mindful of all risks and liabilities in our decision-making, but we also want to remain open to opportunities and innovation in our approach. Sometimes it can be a challenge to protect the city while also fulfilling our responsibilities to serve the community. Risk management is not just one person, it takes a team/ village to make it successful.” JPIA awards judged California JPIA Capstone Award nominees judged to be the worthiest of recognition and selected as finalists were invited to attend the Authority’s Risk Management Educational Forum. The 26th annual event was at the Catamaran Resort Hotel in San Diego, Oct. 6-8. “The event in San Diego was great, like always,” Buckley said. “Each year I attend, I learn something new or I get to share an experience the city has gone through with other cities who may be facing similar experiences and the process of how we overcame it. I always leave the conference coming back implementing at least one new policy or procedure for the city. Each forum addresses the key issues facing local governments.” She said this year the city will be implementing a new tree maintenance contract and Americans with Disabilities Act sidewalk inspection program. Additionally, all staff will be attending a diversity and inclusion training.

Lake Elsinore Mayor Pro Tem Tim Sheridan, who serves on the California JPIA board of directors, attended a board meeting, Oct. 7, during the San Diego forum and emphasized that risk management is an important issue for cities. During the Oct. 12 city council meeting, Sheridan said Buckley is an extremely well-respected person within the California JPIA organization and, “On behalf of the council and Mayor Magee, I want to say congratulations on your nomination.” More than 40 years ago, 33 cities joined forces to address their shared risks and formed the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority to fill an immediate need and to develop a long-term strategy for mitigating the growing risks of their public agencies. The authority is governed by elected officials from its member agencies. Today, more than 100 public agencies have partnered with the California JPIA to address their risks and implement best practices. Member agencies vary from small, singlepurpose entities to cities to special districts. Though diverse in their missions, each member is committed to the implementation of risk management practices and the overall financial health of the pool.

Murrieta shares Beyond Food Mart CEQA study with residents Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

The city of Murrieta is inviting residents to review a California Environmental Quality Act study for a new project at the northeast corner of Murrieta Hot Springs Road and Jackson Avenue. According to a news release issued by the city of Murrieta, staff prepared a draft initial study/ mitigated negative declaration that identifies and evaluates the environmental impacts of the Beyond Food Mart at Jackson Avenue project, in accordance with CEQA. CEQA requires state and local government agencies to inform

decision makers and the public about the potential environmental impacts of proposed projects and to reduce those impacts as much as possible. Beyond Food Mart requested the approval of a development plan, conditional use permit and minor conditional use permit to construct an eight-island gas station, 7,274 square foot convenience store with a drive-thru, an ABC license for off-site sales of beer and wine and a 1,893 square foot drive-thru car wash at the location. The development would include 31,538 square-feet of landscaping and 34 passenger car parking spaces to include two handicap

accessible spaces, and three clean air vehicle spaces. Two additional spaces will be provided for electric vehicles and one additional space will be designated loading/ unloading space. Access to the site will be provided by two 40-foot driveways along Murrieta Hot Springs Road. The Proposed Project proposes to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week and will include 12 full-time employees. The proposed project application, plans, environmental documentation, technical studies and other related information can be reviewed online at the Planning Division website at http://www. murrietaca.gov/290/Public-No-

tices and at the City Hall Planning Division office, during general public business hours. Those interested in reviewing the plans and draft decision can also request a copy from the project planner, Aaron Rintamäki, Murrieta associate planner, by calling (951) 461-6079 or emailing ARintamaki@MurrietaCA.gov. Staff will also make themselves available via phone to go over any questions and/or concerns that may arise with the proposal, the city said. The comment period began Oct. 26, and closes Nov. 25, at 5 p.m. Comments should be submitted to the City of Murrieta, Planning

Division, Attn: Aaron Rintamaki, Associate Planner, 1 Town Square, Murrieta, CA 92562. The Planning Department for the city will conduct a public hearing to consider adoption of a mitigated negative declaration for the proposed project pursuant to CEQA and approval of the development plan and conditional use permit at a future meeting, the city said. The hearing will be noticed separately. Kim Harris can be reached by email at valleyeditor@reedermedia.com.

Temecula announces strategy for Quality of Life Master Plan update TEMECULA – The city of Temecula is updating its 2030 Quality of Life Master Plan. Soon, citizens will be presented with several opportunities to participate and share valuable feedback on shaping the future of their city. Temecula’s Quality of Life Master Plan was originally developed to be a 20-year roadmap to drive the city by identifying core values, goals and priorities for Temecula to maintain a high quality of life. QLMP progress is periodically evaluated to make certain that Temecula remains on track for actualizing and sustaining the goals that Temecula residents desire.

“Given the substantial progress on the current QLMP during the past several years, it was determined that an update was needed ahead of schedule,” Temecula Mayor Maryann Edwards said. “The city of Temecula is advancing toward meeting our goals faster than anticipated, and that’s a great problem to have.” Temecula uses the QLMP to formulate and budget many citywide projects. In addition, the QLMP is a long-term visionary guide for continuous process improvements in partnership with Temecula’s residents. Also referred to as “Core Values,” the QLMP currently encompasses the

KARWIN from page A-1 community being changed with major highway construction, new homes being built and plans for a McCall Boulevard Interstate 215 major interchange coming soon. Karwin assured them that those changes would bring much needed improvements to the deteriorating community’s infrastructure, not changed since Del Webb created the community more than 30 years ago. He reviewed the changes now taking place in the community including announcing that a longtime closed service station would open again with a new modern station opening soon on McCall Boulevard. He said the older Coco’s restaurant, long closed, will be reopening soon and announced other long-sought projects including better traffic controls and an improved police

substation is on its way. Providing more details on the improvements being made in the Sun City area were City Manager Armando Villa; Gina Gonzales, director of economic development; police Chief Patrick Walsh; City Clerk Sarah Manwaring; Cheryl Kitzrow, director of community development; city engineer Nick Fidler and other members of the city staff. Also attending the first town hall for Karwin were Mayor Bill Zimmerman, Mayor Pro Tem Lesa Sobek and council member Matt Liesmeyer.

following six overarching goals, including healthy and livable city, economic prosperity, a safe and prepared community, a sustainable city, transportation, mobility and connectivity and accountable and responsible local government. A Blue Ribbon Committee is composed of community members and businesses who will review data and indicators, evaluate progress and make recommendations to the city council in 2022. In addition, Temecula will engage the public at large in an inclusive process of updating the QLMP to be used as the new roadmap through the year 2040. It will include virtual workshops,

an online questionnaire, pop-up booths at the Old Town Farmers Market and other events, integrating TVUSD high school students and a website with more participation options. “These opportunities will be designed to provide the city government with a reliable understanding of its residents’ opinions, level of satisfaction and priorities as they relate to city services, facilities and policies,” Matt Rahn, mayor pro tem of Temecula, said. “This understanding will then equip the city with critical information needed to make sound, strategic decisions in a variety of areas including project plan-

situation and better city communication with the older residents of the area. Karwin and the staff responded to the questions. Walsh said the police substation, that was the old sheriff’s substation, is being renovated and will soon be fully reopening in the Cherry Hills Plaza with an agreement established with the new owners. He said the department’s motor division with its new motorcycles are already headquartered at the station. He hinted that a new metropolitan police department building may be built in the Sun City Area. The Salt Creek flooding problem does exist, but improvements are coming in the city’s CIP plan, according to Fidler. An aging water pump at the golf course was causing the lawn upkeep problems but a new pump is coming. Walsh addressing the homeless problem, which is on the increase in the Cherry Hills Plaza area particularly, said it is a problem but simply told those in the audience,

He urged the residents to report the homeless, where they are, what they are doing and other information so his officers and code enforcement can respond. He added that the code enforcement department is now at almost full staff and the department is looking to hire a specialist officer who knows how to bring the homeless help if they want it. The staff cited the communication problem that was raised may soon be helped with the effort underway by the city to have their own community television station and reminded those to read the Menifee Matters newsletter sent to all Menifee residents each quarter. The city already has many links to different city departments on its website and on social media. Karwin told his constituents he was pleased at the turnout and more workshops will, or are being planned in his district, in the city’s effort to make them more transparent and accessible for every resident in the city.

Surprising Murrieta family connections

Rebecca Marshall Farnbach SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

There are unexpected elements in the makeup of Juan Murrieta’s family when adding in his wife’s ancestry and their daughter’s husband. Begin with a look at Juan himself. Juan Murrieta, a Spaniard and an eventual notable lawman, should not be confused with the legendary Mexican villain Joaquin Murietta. Juan Murrieta and his brother Ezequiel left their home in Santurce, in the Basque region of Spain when Juan was 17 years old to make their way to California. The first records for them are deeds in the San Simeon area of California in the early 1860s, near the presentday location of the Hearst Castle where they bought land and raised cattle. As time went on and they prospered, they bought more land and cattle, expanding into the areas of San Luis Obispo and Merced. Following the Civil War, the Murrieta brothers sold their cattle and invested in sheep to produce wool, which was highly profitable after the cotton crops in the South had been decimated by the war and a substitute textile was needed. In 1872, a drought in Central California forced the Murrieta brothers to look for greener pastures which they found here in the Temecula Valley. In 1873, the brothers partnered with two other investors to buy 52,000 acres, the Temecula and Pauba Ranchos, originally granted to men in good favor with the ruling Mexican government. If you have a Thomas Guide map book, you can still see the outlines of these ranchos that roughly span from Temecula Parkway on the south, to the hills west of Temecula, to Clinton Keith Road and encompassing all of Temecula Valley Wine Country to the east. They led their flocks of sheep, reportedly 100,000 head, all the way from Central California to the Temecula Valley. Juan’s chuck box, the removable unit that carried food and supplies on his horse drawn wagon, is still in existence and can be viewed at the Little Temecula History Center, the red barn next to Kohls on Temecula Parkway. Within three years the partnership dissolved, and the land holdings were distributed between the investors and their bookkeeper Jose Gonzalez, according to the amounts of the capital they invested. Gonzalez’ land was north of the current Adobe Plaza on Jefferson, where the Stater Bros. store used to be. The northern 15,000 acres along the western hills was retained by the Murrietas and included the hot springs. In 1882, Ezequiel Murrieta returned to Spain and his holdings were sold to the California Southern Railroad. In 1884, Juan sold all except 1,000 acres around his home to the Temecula Land and Water Company. Juan moved his growing family to Los Angeles and the land and water company laid out plots for a new town called Murrietaville. Many people believe the Murrieta’s home in the Temecula Valley was originally the adobe Willow Stage Station used by the Butterfield Overland Stage Company. It was located near the northwest corner of Jefferson Avenue and Winchester Road. The structure was badly damaged in the 1899 Christmas Day earthquake. Juan Murrieta’s 1936 obituary included information that he was deputized as the first Los Angeles County sheriff in 1887 and that he retired after 40 years. He also raised plumerias flowers and hybrid avocados with some, called the Murrieta Green, weighing up to 2 pounds each and requiring two hands to hold them. Juan married a European woman named Adele Golsh who lived with her family in Pala. For some time many people believed a story published in the High Country magazine in 1968 inferring that Adele was a distant cousin to both Mexico’s Emperor Maximilian and

Juan Murrieta, a Spaniard and an eventual notable lawman, should not be confused with the legendary Mexican villain Joaquin Murietta.

Austria’s Emperor Franz Joseph. We learned after an exhaustive search of records in Austria by Inge Haupler that although it was true the Golsh family came from Austria with the original name Golaszewski and had ties to nobility, they were not related directly to either of the two rulers. Juan and Adele raised two sons and one daughter, “Adelita.” Her husband Sherman Otis Houghton was the son of Eliza Donner, the 3-year-old who was rescued with her 4-year-old sister Georgia after the disastrous attempt to cross the Sierra Nevada in the winter of 1846. Eliza collaborated with Charles F. McGlashan on the “History of the Donner Party” in 1879 and wrote her own “Expedition of the Donner Party and Its Tragic Fate” in 1911. After Adelita’s daughter Ann died, her widower Bill Smith donated a collection of photographs, letters and other keepsakes from the Murrieta, Golsh and Houghton families to the Murrieta Public Library. He gave other Murrieta and Donner items to the Huntington Library in San Marino where they are accessible in the “Ann Smith Collection.” Thanks to Ann’s careful documentation before she died and because of Bill Smith’s donation, the Murrieta Public Library has a valuable collection of photographs and documents regarding Juan and Adele Golsh Murrieta and their families in the Heritage Room in the library. It was my pleasure to have met and interviewed both Tom Murrieta, grandson of Juan who shared warm memories of his “abuelo,”

and Bill Smith. They each opened their hearts and their photo albums to allow me to learn more about the Murrieta family. Everyone has family stories. Some are better curated than others. When we study history, we uncover tales of people, events and land ownership. There are many remarkable individuals and fascinating occurrences that are puzzle pieces

to align and understand better where we live. It keeps me busy researching and writing the histories of the valley. I hope you enjoy it.

COUNCIL from page A-1

Battalion 4 reported 9 calls and Battalion 13 responded to 26 calls. The City of Lake Elsinore had a total 1,879 calls with 1,396 of them being for medical services. The Fire Marshal’s report itemized the reviews and inspections that took place during the third quarter. There were 256 reviews and 1,612 construction, weed abatement and special event permit inspections, which included re-inspections as well as required annual inspections. Olson also shared a public safety message about the importance of having properly functioning smoke alarms. He said that according to the National Fire Protection Association, an average of 1,450 fire deaths occur every year in homes with missing or non-functioning fire alarms and that two-thirds of fire deaths occur in homes with missing or non-functioning smoke alarms. He reminded everyone to test smoke alarms monthly, replace smoke detectors every 10 years and change batteries preferably twice a year when the time changes, falling back and springing forward. No closed session actions City Attorney Barbara Leibold stated there was no reportable action on the three closed session items held before the public City Council meeting. Consent Calendar items 4 through 11 and 13-18 were passed unanimously without further discussion. Item No. 12 had two public speakers and a presentation by City Engineer Remon Habib. The item concerns the granting of “Easement and Temporary Construction Easement to Southern California Edison near Alberhill Ranch Community Park for the Valley Ivyglen Project” and to “Authorize the City Manager to process the easement documents and instruct staff to forward the documents to Southern California Edison (SCE) for recordation.” Habib’s overview of the project explained that the project includes the construction of a new 115-Kv sub-transmission line and that SCE is requesting a permanent easement and construction easement located at the northwest corner of Alberhill Ranch Community Park. The permanent easement is required for anchoring a pole (242-sq.ft.). The temporary construction easement will be used as a wire pulling side (approx. 30,000 square feet). The construction easement is temporary with work anticipated for five working days, barring any delays. Public speakers expressed concern about the “blight” of power lines and the inconvenience of having utility trucks and trailers parked in the area. Habib explained that the temporary construction easement consists

of 30,000 square feet at the fringe of the park near the intersection of Nichols Road and Lake Street. The permanent easement is necessary to anchor a pole. He said the impact is minimal in that the temporary easement will only be needed for a period of five days. Originally, SCE had wanted to utilize about half of the park area and the city negotiated with them to use the smallest area for the least amount of time that was absolutely necessary to complete the project. He said other negotiations helped ensure the least amount of disruption to the citizens while trying to keep the best aesthetics possible under the circumstances. At the conclusion of Habib’s presentation, Magee said, “It sounds like staff did all the heavy lifting behind the scenes, reducing the footprint and making sure that we would have ongoing continuing use of the park and that the interruption would be as small as possible. Thank you very much for your efforts.” The item was then passed unanimously “Of course nobody likes the powerline project; they’re big steel powerlines,” Manos said. “Council Member (Natasha) Johnson and I sit on the energy subcommittee and we got a partial victory with SCE agreeing to put some lines underground. There is a lot of development potential in this community and we’re going to need power.” Successor Agency items All three items on the Successor Agency Consent Calendar were passed with no further discussion. City Manager Jason Simpson introduced City Traffic Engineer Brad Brophy to report on the recent installation of solar-powered radar speed feedback signs. The goal is to keep drivers more road conscious and less distracted by things going on inside their vehicles. “They shift the focus of the driver back to roadway and they have the potential to correct drivers’ habits,” Brophy said. There are two mobile radar trailers, which will change locations on a regular basis. Ten others are installed at fixed locations near parks, schools and other areas with heavy pedestrian traffic. Brophy’s presentation stated that at the majority of radar sign locations, studies have shown that vehicle speeds had a 1 mph to 6 mph reduction and have proven to reduce speeds by about 10% for several miles down the road. Sheridan said, “I love these things; I think it’s a great addition to our city.” The next regular meeting of the Lake Elsinore City Council and Successor Agency is scheduled for Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. For more information, www.lake-elsinore.org.

CFLC Planet Youth in Lake Elsinore were named as Jamil Dada Character Excellence Youth Award recipients. Gavin Garcia and Akashia Love are both involved with the youth opportunity center. The youths each received a $2,500 scholarship, trophy award and legislative certificates at an awards ceremony in Moreno Valley, Oct. 1. During that event that honored their achievements, Garcia and Love were among the 10 “Riverside County youth who have shown exemplary character while overcoming some of life’s significant challenges.” A short video included comments from both recipients, thanking Planet Youth for helping them reach their goals despite hardships they had to overcome. Garcia was on his own from the age of 17 and Love lost both her parents to cancer at a young age. “Planet Youth better prepared me for life by teaching me the necessary skills,” Garcia said. “I want to impact my community for the better by being a positive person and being somebody others can look up to.” Council Member Brian Tisdale congratulated Planet Youth for its successful program and to the youth who were honored. “Kids from 16 to 24 can participate in the program and it really is about giving kids a second chance. These are kids that might not have resources, might not have been able to graduate from school or have any kind of job experience and they help kids get job experience, scholarships, get back on track so it is a great program.” Council Member Steve Manos added his congratulations to Gavin and Akashia for overcoming their challenges. “The recognition of individual responsibility over one’s future is refreshing to hear from the youth.” Mayor Pro Tem Tim Sheridan also extended his congratulations to the youth for their well-deserved awards. The third quarter statistical report for Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire was shared by newly appointed Southwest Division Fire Chief Lonny Olson. The statistics covered all calls that were received from the city, unincorporated County areas and responses to cooperative fire services for other areas. He reported that the majority of average en route to on-scene response times were recorded as being under five minutes for the period of July through September. Battalion 2, with seven stations served, registered 3,098 total calls with the majority (2,315) for medical calls, followed by 247 for traffic collisions and 114 false alarm calls.

Supervisors OK new fire protection agreement with Menifee City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors signed off Tuesday, Oct. 26, on a $41 million fire services agreement with the city of Menifee, guaranteeing the municipality emergency response by county fire personnel for wildfire,

medical, hazardous material and other emergencies over almost three years. In a 4-0 vote without comment, with Supervisor Jeff Hewitt absent, the board cleared the county Fire Department to continue serving Menifee until July 1, 2024. The official commencement of the contract is Nov. 1, but services will

not be interrupted in the interim, officials said. Menifee has maintained agreements with the county since it incorporated in 2008. The annual cost of the new compact is roughly $14 million for fiscal years 2022-2023 and 20232024. The current year’s amount is closer to $13 million because

it’s starting in the second quarter of 2021-2022. Under the agreement, Menifee will have access to firefighters and paramedics from four county fire stations, making 50 personnel available on most days of the week within the city. All administrative functions will be managed by the county, accord-

ing to the contract. It also specifies that the crews available in Menifee will be part of the regional mutual aid response, under which personnel are available for dispatch to wildfires, disasters and other events countywide, and periodically in neighboring counties.

Menifee’s Dia de los Muertos celebration brings remembrance, joy to many

Tony Ault WRITER

It was a time of remembering long lost family members, not in grief but in joy and a time to create altars to bring them back for a day as more than 1,500, mostly Mexican and Latin American families, gathered for Menifee’s Dia de los Muertos celebration Friday, Oct. 29. The huge colorful celebration, only two days before Halloween, was not to frighten children but to bring peace to their families and moments to remember their past relatives and friends with pride. The event held at Menifee’s Central Park swelled with more and more people, children with their faces painted as skeletons and dressed in colorful costumes, went well into the night. Dia de los Muertos is a celebration held in homes across America, Latin America, Mexico and South

America. The event is based on the belief that the souls of those who died return and those living are united through offerings or ofrendas. Many place the sugar face of a skeleton or a replica and special treats like bread and cakes once liked, and light candles or incense on their ofrendas. The altars may remain up for seven days at a time with each day representing how their relatives may have died, with different items placed on them each day as a remembrance offering. The celebration is a syncretism of cultures including those in Europe. Part of the gathering to celebrate the occasion are children in colorful costumes with their faces painted to look like skeletons. Parents join in the celebration by donning their own costumes as well. Tony Ault can be reached by email at tault@reedermedia.com.

The Mystery Wino SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

As your indomitable mystery wino, I’ve tried to make the case that enjoying oneself at a Temecula winery is rarely entirely about the wine. Even for a cork dork like me, I appreciate some wineries for their food, others for their ambience, and still others for their service. Callaway Vineyard & Winery, the first in Temecula to open its doors to the public back in 1969, holds its own in all three areas. The main reason I keep going back year after year, however, is because no place in the valley has better views – unless you happen to be in a hot air balloon. And they don’t let you drink wine in those things. The Background In 1968, a brash, semi-retired textiles executive named Ely Callaway stopped at an isolated village called Rancho California. He had the bizarre notion that the little valley in southwestern Riverside County – called Temecula by the Luiseño Indians – was ideal for wine making and wine tourism. As he rattled down the narrow dirt road that led east from the two-lane highway, Callaway encountered viticulturist John Moramarco. When Callaway asked him to identify the best place to build a winery, Moramarco pointed to the steep hillside just east of Butterfield Stage Road. The following day, Callaway purchased that hillside and 100 acres around it. Then he hired Moramarco as his vineyard manager. The rest, as they say, is history. When the winery was finally sold to Allied Domecq in 1987, it was producing 200,000 cases annually. By then, even the Queen of England had tasted, and enjoyed Callaway wines. In 2005, San Diego real estate investor Patricia Lin bought the winery out of bankruptcy. Lin had no experience in the wine industry, but plenty of business savvy, much like Callaway himself. Fifteen years later, she is still the only

woman in the area who is the sole proprietor of a winery. She has since purchased another 50 acres, along with rebuilding the gift shop, tasting room and restaurant. One of Lin’s best ideas was hiring veteran winemaker Craig Larson. For the past decade, Larson has helped Callaway transition from a large producer of nondescript wines to a small-batch, artisanal winery oriented to Larson’s favorite winegrowing region – southeastern France. In fact, Larson’s passion for that corner of the wine world led him to work with several varietals – Roussanne, Viognier and Mouvèdre – rarely used until his arrival. The Visit Callaway Winery squats on its hill like a medieval fortress. After the long drive up to the summit, I park in the dirt lot and walk to the grass lawn west of the tasting room. From here, one can see the coastal mountains from the Rainbow Gap all the way to Corona. To the northeast, the peaks of the Sierra Nevada Mountains seem so close you can hit them with a well-aimed grape. The Palomar Mountains to the south complete the 360-degree view. The winery’s public spaces consist of sprawling patios, a fullservice restaurant called Meritage that is an underrated gem specializing in farm-to-table dishes, a large gift shop, an elegant tasting room and an upstairs deck for wine club members. The tasting room stretches from one side of the building to the other. It is modern and sleek, with polished cement floors, crisp lines and a dove-gray, 60-foot-long tasting bar. The Wines On a Friday afternoon, I grab an open space at the counter and flag down a server. I am surrounded by well-dressed millennials, although Callaway’s clientele are more diverse than most. The views from the expansive windows behind the bar show blue skies above the rolling vineyards. Pro tip: Unless you’re fond of weddings and nonstop wine tours, avoid the winery

on Saturdays. Callaway opts for a “more is more” approach when it comes to their wine selection. On this visit, the menu features 30 different reds, whites, rosés, as well as sweet and sparkling wines. The wines are always well made, interesting and often excellent. Prices are moderate-to-high, with whites averaging $30 and reds around $48 a bottle. Staff members tend to be very young and inexperienced. Still, they are unwaveringly nice. One of Callaway’s most consistent wines is their dry Rosé of Sangiovese. The 2017 vintage has a salmon-pink color and lots of peach and white flower aromas. It has a long finish and a generous mouth feel. The 2019 Winemaker’s Reserve Chardonnay is oaky, with plenty of heft and flavor. The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc has subtle aromas of ripe peach, while on the palate there are notes of citrus and honey. Most of the 2018 and 2019 wines are high in alcohol, with the Sangiovese, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon and the Rhones all clocking in above 14.5%. Acid levels seem low to me, yet the wines maintain their balance and structure. Of the reds, I especially enjoyed the 2019 Mourvèdre, which Callaway was among the first to bottle as a single varietal. The nose is of game, red fruit and dried flowers, along with flavors of dried fruit and an earthy finish. I also liked the 2018 Profonde blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon and 29% Syrah, which tastes spicy, dusty, with hints of cherry and plum. Finally, the 2017 Winemaker’s Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon showcases loads of bright red fruit, with a strawberry jam nose and a spicy, fruit-leather finish. Smooth tannins prevail on all the reds. Conclusion Go to Callaway Vineyard & Winery if you like premium red and white wines, incredible views, full-service restaurant, French varietals, sweet wines, sparkling wines, rosés, dog friendly, gift

Temecula Valley Museum hosts ‘Thrift Style’ exhibit through Nov. 28 TEMECULA ̶ The Temecula Valley Museum announced a new traveling exhibit, Thrift Style, will be on display through Nov. 28. Thrift Style explores the reuse of feed sacks to make clothing and other household objects and illuminates how the “upcycling” of these bags mutually benefited 20th-century consumers and businesses. With 41 works from patterns to garments, it serves as an example of past ingenuity that can inform today’s efforts toward sustainability. The exhibition, organized by the Historic Costume and Textile Museum and the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art, both at Kansas State University, and ExhibitsUSA, a program of Mid-America Arts Alliance, provides a nostalgic view into American ingenuity, sensibility and optimism during a particularly challenging time of economic hardship and war during the period of the Great Depression and World War II. The reuse of feed, flour and sugar sacks was a cost-saving and resource-saving

approach employed by homemakers to make new items to meet their families’ needs. “This exhibit highlights the fact that sustainability and recycling are not new concepts and cooperation with manufacturers can reap benefits for the business and the consumer.” Temecula Mayor Maryann Edwards said. “The city of Temecula supports these ideas and encourages cooperation wherever feasible.” The exhibition offers a snapshot of domestic life during these historic times, when recycling was as critical as it is today, and it provides one of the best examples of upcycling in our nation’s history, according to the museum. “This exhibit showcases how creativity and the human spirit can come together to solve societal issues,” Zak Schwank, Temecula City Council member and Temecula Community Services president, said. “Much can be learned from the past, and we can apply the strategies developed during times of need to modern problems for the

benefit of humanity.” This exhibition is toured by ExhibitsUSA, a national program of Mid-America Arts Alliance. ExhibitsUSA sends exhibitions on tour to small- and midsized communities every year. These exhibitions create access to an array of arts and humanities experiences, nurture the understanding of diverse cultures and art forms and encourage the expanding depth and breadth of cultural life in local communities. Mid-America Arts Alliance strengthens and supports artists, cultural organizations and communities. Additional information is available at http://www. eusa.org and http://www.maaa.org.

Eastern Municipal Water District receives fed grant for drought relief City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Perris-based Eastern Municipal Water District received a six-figure federal allotment to bolster conservation efforts involving farmers and ranchers amid the worsening drought in California, it was announced Wednesday, Oct. 27. “The consequences of drought have continued to impact farms, ranches and communities across much of the West and other parts of the country,’’ Terry Cosby, chief of the National Resources Conservation Service, said. “Drought is a complex challenge, and our collaboration on WaterSMART is part of our approach to help producers conserve water and build resilience while also bringing important partners to the table.” The WaterSMART Initiative is part of a collaborative strategy by the NRCS’ parent agency, the U.S. Department of Agriculture,

and the U.S. Department of the Interior to improve water reclamation and other drought-busting measures by encouraging farmers and ranchers to work more closely with irrigation and water districts on coordinated conservation plans. EMWD and McMullin Area Groundwater Sustainability Agency in Fresno are splitting a $1.16 million WaterSMART grant. The agencies’ service areas are listed among the NRCS’ WaterSMART priority locations. Some of the funding can be used to modernize existing infrastructure to better protect water supplies, as well as convert agricultural land to promote conservation, while minimizing property conflicts stemming from scarce water availability, according to officials. EMWD, California’s sixthlargest utility, serves a 558-squaremile area, encompassing Hemet, Menifee, Moreno Valley, San Jacinto, parts of Temecula Valley and Winchester.

For example, from 2018-2020, patients treated at hospitals receiving the America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Orthopedic Surgery Award have, on average, a 41.0% lower risk of experiencing a complication while in the hospital than if they were treated in hospitals that did not receive

the award. Additionally, from 2018-2020, patients treated at hospitals which did not receive the America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Orthopedic Surgery Award are, on average, 1.69 times more likely to experience one or more complications in the hospital than if they were treated at hospitals that did receive the award. Named by Newsweek as one of the World’s Best Hospitals in 2021, Palomar Health is anchored by two medical center campuses which provide an array of acute care services, obstetrics, rehabilitation, behavioral health, pediatrics and neonatal intensive care. Palomar Health is the only health system in the county using the Globus robotics machine.

Beat a cyberbully: Here’s how parents can help TEMECULA – While remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic lowered reported instances of bullying, parents fear that, for some students, going back to school will mean going back to being bullied. “Bullying is something we worry about, especially with the beginning of each new school year,” Zury Bourque said of her family of four in Cypress, Texas. Now 15 years after the inception of National Bullying Prevention Month in October, technology’s ever-greater presence in children’s lives has given bullying a new outlet. With just a click, cyberbullies can taunt, harass and threaten relentlessly, even reaching into the home via cellphone or computer. As a result, victims report feeling hopeless, isolated and even suicidal. What can parents do to protect

their children? Taking an interest in their children’s online world can make a difference, according to the National Parent Teacher Association. This interest does not necessarily require parents to become tech experts; instead, the federal website, http://Stopbullying.gov, advises parents to watch for subtle clues that something is wrong, such as their child becoming withdrawn, hiding their screen when others are nearby or reacting emotionally to what is happening on their device. For Bourque and her husband Chris, that has meant being keenly aware of what “normal” looks like for their two boys, ages 12 and 10. “Knowing my children’s moods is very important because I can then detect shifts or changes in their personalities that might signal something is going on,”

Chris said. Talking with children openly, and often, helps too. “The more you talk to your children about bullying, the more comfortable they will be telling you if they see or experience it,” according to UNICEF in its online tips for parents. As their two daughters enter their teens, Houston parents Thiago and Auboni Cordolino have found that talking less and listening more works best. “We try to focus on being approachable and listening actively without reaction,” Thiago said. Beyond talking, listening and observing their children, parents should not be afraid to make and enforce rules for online activities, experts said. The Cordolinos’ girls are allowed to play online games, but they are expected to turn off the live chat feature to limit interactions with strangers. “We reassure the girls that we trust them and respect their privacy, but they have to stay within the boundaries we’ve set,” Auboni said. The Bourques have taken a similar approach. “We aren’t constantly over the boys’ shoulders, watching their

every move, but we use a family app that lets us know how much time they’re spending on their tablets,” Zury said. Both families cited the tips and reminders they have considered together with their children from free resources available on http:// jw.org, the official website of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Sun City woman does not let anything hold her back Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

At the age of 10, Vivian Stancil said she knew there was something wrong with her vision but it took years for her to be properly diagnosed. By the time she was a teenager, she was deemed legally blind due to retinitis pigmentosa, a rare degenerative eye disease. Yet at 19 years old, she traveled to South Africa to do missionary work, and she has continued to reach for and accomplish goals she has set for herself ever since. After receiving her missionary training at Zoe Christian Fellowship of Whittier, she spent six years abroad. Upon her return, she went to college and in 1981 became California’s first blind teacher, working at Long Beach and Riverside area schools. About 20 years ago, Stancil said she needed help when she reached 320 pounds after retirement and was told by her doctor that she wouldn’t live to the age of 60 unless she changed her lifestyle. Although she was afraid of the water, she took up swimming and learned to love it. “I went to California Pools of Hope in Long Beach and it sure was hope for me. I had a coach to work with me to improve my strokes,” she said. She also joined the Riverside Aquatics Association so she could be part of a competitive team and worked with Riverside Community College’s Splish-Splash water training and swim program, teaching children, youth and adults about water safety. She got herself to a healthy weight, by watching her intake and cooking the right things, and becoming more competitive through the sport of swimming. She participated in the National Senior Games, presented by Humana, where she started collecting medals and was named a Humana Game Changer for her dedication and inspiration. Stancil recently went to San Diego to compete in the California State Senior Olympics where she was the only blind swimmer there. In addition to swimming, she did some running. She competed in the Los

Angeles Marathon, completing about 14 miles, and said she had never seen so many people in one place before. The Vivian Stancil Olympian Foundation, which offers free swimming lessons to low-income children, became her pet project when she started it in 2013. Now 74 years old, the Sun City resident continues to stay active with the Senior Olympians program, having won many gold medals for her efforts. Most recently, she was a top-10 finalist in the SilverSneakers contest. Stancil said she was surprised and honored that she was a finalist for the 2021 SilverSneakers Member of the Year. More than 100 nominations were received for the 17th annual award. In 1992, SilverSneakers was founded by Mary Swanson, whose father served as the inspiration for the nationally acclaimed fitness program. Swanson’s father, after surviving a heart attack at age 51, pledged to improve his quality of life with regular physical activity through the first formalized exercise class designed specifically for older adults. Today, more than

16 million people are eligible for the SilverSneakers benefit at no additional cost through more than 60 health plans, including the nation’s leading Medicare Advantage health plans, Medicare Supplement carriers and group retiree plans. SilverSneakers has more than 15,000 locations at participating gyms, community centers and fitness centers around the country. Stancil said she signed up for the program at a Powerhouse gym but can use it at other gyms and thinks “it’s wonderful to see seniors get out there to do this.” Stancil has stayed active in other ways, too. She started a prayer ministry, inviting churches of all denominations to pray for the nation as one. Just last week she appeared to speak at Menifee Council Member Bob Karwin’s Town Hall in Sun City. While residing in Riverside, she sat on the City’s Human Relations Commission and the Commission on Disabilities. She was responsible for helping seniors get a proper park in the area. She hopes to get involved with programs and develop projects now that she is

living in Sun City. “I’m very community oriented and outspoken,” Stancil said. “I’m an advocate for people.” Stancil has overcome a lot but said the biggest hurdle came when she was 7 years old and her mother died, leaving her to take care of her younger siblings. When she stopped attending school, her situation was discovered and she was made a ward of the court, separated from her siblings, who were placed into different foster homes. She graduated from Perris High School. “When people told me that I would never amount to something and that I was an ugly duckling, for some reason it didn’t hurt me because I just believed that I would make something out of myself,” Stancil said. “I went to junior college, vocational college and got my BA in education from the University of La Verne. “Being blind, or with any disability, you have to show people what you can do because they don’t know how you’re going to function. I’ve met many people who can’t believe blind people can do so much,” she said. Though independent, Stancil is grateful for the encouragement she receives from her husband of 51 years, Turner. “I don’t think he ever says no to anything I want to do,” she said. “He supports whatever I’m doing.”

Stancil likes to do the same for others. “Just because you have a disability, keep your head up. People are not all the same; there’s no perfect person,” she said. She participated in a Youth Education Motivation Program in Riverside where she would share her story, and her medals, with the students and allow them to ask her any questions they wanted about her disability and accomplishments. Stancil would tell the students, “You can be whatever you choose to be, but whatever you be, be the best.” For more information, visit http://www.vivianstancilolympianfoundation.org.

Restaurants Urbane Café and Fishbone Seafood will open in early 2022 in Center Pointe Plaza at Newport Road and Calle Tomas in Menifee. Valley News/Courtesy photo

MENIFEE – Center Pointe, a newly constructed commercial plaza at Newport Road and Calle Tomas in Menifee, announced two new tenants, Urbane Café and Fishbone Seafood that developer Tourmaline Capital inked as additions to the plaza. The new tenants plan to open in early 2022 and will add to the dynamic lineup in the 73,000 square foot retail center, bringing fresh, healthy and diverse dining options to southwest Riverside County. Urbane Café’s expansion to Menifee will be the restaurant’s second location to open in southwest Riverside County, among 20 locations throughout Central and Southern California. Urban Café began in Ventura, focusing on a niche in the industry for nutritious, affordable and delicious tasting food, centered around locally sourced ingredients, house-roasted meats, crafted sauces and fresh bread made in-house. Knowing Menifee’s “boomtown reputation” and expanding population, Urbane Café owners were excited to join the synergy of the Center Pointe Plaza. Fishbone Seafood is a fast-casual fresh seafood restaurant and market that features Southern-style service and specialties. Reminiscing of the popular Friday Fish Fry that once drew families together throughout the South, Fishbone offers a variety of fried and grilled shrimp, oysters and fish. Dedicated to the customer experience and providing the freshest seafood available, they

are setting the standard for quality and freshness in the seafood and restaurant business. Another first for Riverside County, Fishbone Seafood selected Menifee as its first location for its diverse population, high demand as a region and businessfriendly climate. “Menifee is a premier shopping and dining destination in southwest Riverside County, and brands are taking note. Many brands that we had actively been encouraging to join the city are capitalizing on Menifee’s incoming development opportunities. We are seeing years of conversations come to fruition and we are thrilled to have these amenities join our community,” Gina Gonzalez, director of economic development, said. “Our residents and trade area are more than eager for new, fresh and unique dining experiences, and restaurants who locate in Menifee realize that their new addition here quickly becomes one of the highest performing stores for their brand.” For more information about these new eateries, visit Urbane Cafe at http:/urbanecafe.com or Fishbone Seafood at http://fishboneseafood. com. For more information on Center Pointe leasing and how to join the quality tenant lineup or a center in Menifee, contact Menifee’s Economic Development Department at EconDev@CityofMenifee.us or visit http://www.menifeebusiness.com.

Visit Temecula Valley announces Xenia Hospitality Award winners TEMECULA – More than 250 Visit Temecula Valley members and partnership organizations gathered Thursday, Oct. 21, for its 11th annual Xenia Hospitality Awards. The awards were given in six categories: Social Media Award, Champion Culinary Award, Ambassador Award, Hospitality Award, Golden Tap Brewery of the Year, Winery of the Year and Tourism Professional of the Year. In addition, 35 employees at various businesses in Temecula Valley received recognition through Spotlight on Service for their outstanding customer service. Social Media Award For the greatest impact promoting and attracting visitors to Temecula Valley Southern California Wine Country through social media, the award went to Wilson Creek Winery. The winery receives more than 450,000 weekly impressions with an average of 31,000 weekly engagements. Their top performing post was that they were the first Temecula Valley winery to publicly announce an employee COVID-19 case. This post garnered 36,132 engagements and 26,200 clicks. Though unfortunate news, they helped put Temecula Valley in the news. The Wall Street Journal ran an article and included information about the destination. Wilson Creek Winery demonstrated how to handle the unprecedented territory through social media. Champion Culinary Award This award recognizes a locally owned restaurant or chef operating in Temecula Valley demonstrating an exceptional dining experience through its service excellence, innovation, culinary offerings and community philanthropic activities. The Champion Culinary Award recipient was E.A.T. Marketplace. Chef Leah Di Bernardo said she is passionate about partnering with others that highlight local makers and farmers. E.A.T. Marketplace creates farm-to-table dinners and open-air markets that draw attendees from throughout Southern California. The restaurant partners with several charitable organizations and is an advocate for promoting fellow businesses within the destination. Ambassador Award The Ambassador Award recognizes an individual that generates significant economic impact for the region by encouraging tourism and securing major conventions and events. The winner of the Ambassador Award was Bill Wilson, CEO and owner of Wilson Creek Winery. Wilson accepted the chairman of the board position for Visit Temecula Valley during the pandemic with the mindset of helping the entire region recover. He oversaw the distribution of 50,000 wine tasting tickets to

front line workers which were valued at $1.2 million. He also donated several pallets of wine to Temecula Valley Hospital. Always keeping his sense of humor, the winery gave a roll of toilet paper to everyone that ventured out to purchase a bottle of wine during the lockdown. Hospitality Award This award recognizes a tourism organization or business that demonstrates outstanding hospitality to visitors and exhibits a team spirit in promoting travel tourism and the growth of Temecula Valley, and the title went to Wilson Creek Winery. It was a challenging year for every business to navigate, but Wilson Creek Winery made its guests feel like the winery was a sanctuary. With limited staff, outdoor tasting only and products only available to go, they pivoted with humor, always made sure a family member was on property to greet the public and notified guests which businesses were open. Golden Tap Brewery of the Year This category is for brewers, breweries, distillers, and distilleries that produce quality beers and spirits to build a strong local partnership and to provide service excellence and valuable industry education to visitors. The winner was Refuge Brewery. Owners Curt and Diane Kucera serve on several boards and committees in the region. They also work to promote the brewery scene in Temecula Valley. Curt Kucera is a pioneer in the craft beer, brewery industry and a true innovator in brewing equipment. Refuge has also participated and donated to many local charities. Cilurzo Award for Winery of the Year This award recognizes a winery operating in Temecula Valley that routinely offers exceptional guest experience through its wine, vineyard quality and appearance, philanthropic endeavors and betterment of the community. The winner was Europa Village. The business kept all their employees during the shut down and used that time to develop skills and widen their knowledge of all aspects of hospitality. Amid the pandemic, they expanded, opening a worldclass winery resort. They supported their charitable organizations with donations and at-cost lodging and meals for first responders. The winery also shared supplies with Temecula Valley and Hemet hospitals. Welty Award for Tourism Professional of the Year This title goes to a tourism professional who has made significant contributions to our hospitality industry through their strong commitment to Temecula Valley, as well as their innovation, inspira-

Week 10 high school football recap from around the valley

Murrieta Valley running back Travis Karg (33) powers his way into the endzone for a touchdown against Chaparral.

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

A plethora of catchphrases can be used to wrap up the regular season, but we will stick with the infamous Looney Tunes mantra and say, “that’s all folks!” Despite this season being affected by COVID-19, yet again, the final games of the prep football regular season took place last week, and

the CIF Southern Section post season schedules have already been posted at http://www.cifss. org. There weren’t too many surprises in the wake of league championship decider-games, though there were some exciting matchups that could have been. For the Southwestern League, Murrieta Valley (7-3, 5-0) won their first league title since capturing back-to-back championships

in 2016 and 2017 behind the arm of Hank Bachmeier, who is now at Boise State. The Nighthawks title this year came at the hands of another Bachmeier sibling, as well as the steadfast arm of senior Brandon Rose. Tiger Bachmeier had his usual productive night on offense, hauling in five receptions for 103 yards and two touchdowns, but he also thrilled the home crowd with

two kickoff returns for touchdowns as Murrieta Valley won the Southwestern League title outright with a 55-36 victory over Chaparral (6-4, 3-2 in league). Rose threw four touchdowns on the night, the two aforementioned Bachmeier scores as well as two to J.T. Saenz, and also scored on his own eight-yard run. The Nighthawk QB completed 11 of 20 passes for 229 yards, while running back Travis Karg added 119 yards on 17 carries and a touchdown. Junior Devyne Pearson, who had to fill in for Chaparral’s injured running back Hunter Roddy, gained 233 yards on 31 carries. Caron Tyler, who had led the air assault for the Pumas all season before getting hurt, scored two touchdowns on the ground and made an appearance at QB on quite a few plays. Freshman Dash Beierly threw for 154 yards and one touchdown, but also had two interceptions. The Pumas rushed for 314 yards. Both teams will open the CIF Southern Section playoffs this week. Down Interstate 15, in Lake Elsinore, Tigers senior running back Donovan Harvey rushed for 294 yards on 19 carries and had three touchdowns to lead his team to a 44-34 victory over crosstown rival Temescal Canyon in their Ivy League match-up. With the win and Heritage High School’s victory over Notre Dame, Elsinore (7-3, 3-1 in league) will share the league championship with them but will be the No. 1 team from the Ivy League. Temescal Canyon, who

finished as the league’s thirdplace team and did not clinch a spot in the CIF playoffs. Elsinore ended the night rushing for 461 yards and had 509 yards in total offense. Temescal Canyon’s Koa Apana completed 21 of 32 passes for 227 yards and added 56 yards on the ground. Titan receiver Grant Givens hauled in 10 receptions for 93 yards. More quick game recaps Vista Murrieta 65, Murrieta Mesa 7: Gavin Galzote rushed for 150 yards and three touchdowns as the Broncos (8-2, 4-1) won their final Southwestern League game of the regular season. Grant Wayne, Marquice Woodson and Matthew Caldera each chipped in with two touchdowns. North 35, Rancho Verde 20: Jaidyn Gamble threw two touchdown passes, and Venasio Mikaele rushed for 147 yards and a pair of touchdowns as the Huskies (10-0) finished off their perfect season. Ahson Elliot had six catches for 117 yards and a touchdown and also scored once on the ground. Hamilton 26, Nuview Bridge 20: Jamal Robinson rushed for 120 yards and a touchdown and tossed a touchdown pass as the Bobcats (5-4, 4-1) clinched a share of the South Valley League championship. Hunter Blackmore threw a pair of touchdown passes to Ethan Scott. Other Week 10 prep football scores from around the valley include: see RECAP, page C-2

Local teams ready themselves for CIF Southern Section prep football playoffs JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

For the first time ever, the CIFSouthern Section administration placed prep football teams in divisions solely based on the current season, so it is no wonder why this past Sunday’s playoff divisions and pairings announcements were like no other in history. If you were following along, the buzz was felt all over social media. Nobody knew what divisions they would play in until the announcements were made, and quite a few programs out there felt the wrath of the unknown. The CIF Southern Section offices have used several different ways to create playoff divisions in the past, most recently placing teams in divisions based on how they performed the two previous seasons. Because of the impact that COVID-19 not only made around the world, but here locally too, things needed to be adjusted in the playoff groupings due to the uncanny season that took place earlier this year during the spring season. The CIF-SS uses highly regarded Calpreps’ computer rankings to place teams in divisions, which has produced a power rankings formula for roughly two decades. Combine that with automatic qualifiers from league play and at-large teams that applied to get in based on their record and computer ranking, and the new system is what you are left with. Just as with any other season, some teams will be happy, some will not. In any case, the local teams

mentioned below will be moving on to the post season where they will begin their quest to a CIFSS title starting this week. The CIF Southern Section Division 1 championship football game will be held at Veterans Stadium in Long Beach Nov. 26 and CIF State championship games will be played at Saddleback College Dec. 10 and 11. The CIF-SS football championship games in Division 2-14 will be played at host team sites Nov. 26 and 27.

Vista Murrieta falls to Mater Dei in girls’ volleyball semifinal match

Vista Murrieta’s Claire Little hits into traffic against Mater Dei as the Lady Broncos lose to the Monarchs, Valley News/Jerry Soifer photos 3-0, in CIF Southern Section semifinal action.

eight weeks ago. Vista Murrieta (20-9) jumped out to a 6-3 lead in that first set, but momentum shifted when Claire Little rotated into the back row. Mater Dei went on an 11-2 run to take command of the set. Schilling and Gubbins had five kills apiece in that set to lead the Monarchs who used a 17-6 run to pull away from the Broncos in the second set. Schilling and Gubbins combined to register nine kills, and middle blockers Liv Hertzog and Isabel Clark each chipped in with three kills. Sophomore Abby Jones helped

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

Vista Murrieta was the last remaining local girls’ volleyball team that had extended their playoff run deep into the semifinal round, until they met up with Mater Dei this past weekend. Jordyn Schilling and Babi Gubbins combined for 28 kills as Mater Dei swept the Lady Broncos 25-19, 25-14, 25-22 in their CIF Southern Section Division 1 semifinal match, which was a rematch of a nonleague bout that was also won by Mater Dei in four sets about

the Lady Broncos compete in the third set. She registered eight kills while Little added six more kills. The last tie was at 21, but Mater Dei scored three straight points after kills by Clark, Gubbins and Amber Thompson brought them to match point. Jones registered her ninth kill of the match to give Vista Murrieta some hope, but a service error brought an end to the match. Junior outside hitter Little had 24 kills for the Lady Broncos when they first met up about eight weeks ago, and this time around she registered a match-high 16

kills while hitting at a .429 clip. Beth Bellfi added seven kills for the Broncos. Schilling did not play in the first meeting, but her 15 kills and 15 digs in the semifinals sent a clear message from the Monarchs. Mater Dei (35-4) will square off against Marymount (30-0), who can be regarded as the No. 1 team in the nation, for the Division 1 crown Saturday, Nov. 6, at Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach. Vista Murrieta’s season is not finished just yet. The Lady Broncos will get to compete in the CIF State playoffs in the coming

weeks. They will find out Sunday, Nov. 7, if they will be part of the Open Division field or if they will be defending their Division 1 state title from 2019. *Photos and sports scores/stats/ highlights can be submitted to sports@reedermedia.com.

Temecula’s Evan Mobley posts historic stat line for NBA rookie debut JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

Temecula native and Cleveland Cavaliers rookie, Evan Mobley, got his NBA career started off with a bang Wednesday, Oct. 20, after posting a rare final stat line in a loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Mobley, who earned the start, produced 17 points, nine rebounds, six assists, one steal and had one blocked shot in 38 minutes of work in the 132-121 loss. He converted on 7-of-13 shot attempts from

the field, including 1-of-2 from 3-point range. Mobley is just the second rookie in history to record at least 17 points, nine rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in a debut game. The other player to reach those numbers in a debut was Deandre Ayton, who plays for the Phoenix Suns. “I feel like I did good. I felt comfortable out there,” Mobley told the media after the game. “I feel like we played a pretty good game. We didn’t get the win but,

overall, I feel like it was a rather good first game for me.” The third overall pick in the 2021 draft, Mobley has the potential to become a big star in the NBA, and it is mainly due to his size and athleticism. His first game offered a glimpse of the future in what should be a great season for the former Rancho Christian standout. JP Raineri can be reached by email at sports@reedermedia. com.

Tehachapi video to attract In-N-Out Burger spreads nationwide Joe Naiman WRITER

After the In-N-Out Burger franchise in San Francisco was shut down by municipal authorities for not enforcing San Francisco’s vaccine mandate for restaurant customers, the city of Tehachapi produced a video encouraging the In-N-Out Burger franchise to relocate to Tehachapi. The 75-second video hasn’t yet produced a commitment from In-N-Out Burger, but it has given Tehachapi nationwide notice. “It certainly has reached viral status,” Corey Costelloe, economic development coordinator of Tehachapi, said. “We are pushing a million views. It’s been all over the place, and we’re starting to get some responses from it.” The responses are from commercial real estate brokers. “It’s got conversations starting among them,” Costelloe said. “At least it got kind of our foot in the door.” Costelloe and city manager Greg Garrett appear in the video. Tehachapi community engagement specialist Key Budge filmed the video although Costelloe filmed some of the city footage. The video opens with Costelloe appealing to In-N-Out-Burger and noting that the San Francisco restaurant was shut down. Garrett then gives his city’s opinion of San Francisco’s action. “As a local government, we find this very unfortunate for you, and you deserve better,” Garrett said. Garrett said that Tehachapi serves a trade area of more than 75,000 people and that more than 30,000 vehicles a day travel the state Route 58 corridor through Tehachapi. “More importantly, in Tehachapi you are free to do business as you

see fit, have your customers dine indoors and serve your famous Double-Double with a side of french fries or a side of freedom, he said. When Garrett speaks of “a side of freedom,” Costelloe is holding a small American flag. The video includes photos of available development sites. “We know we have a site that will not only provide you with a successful restaurant, but we offer you what places like San Francisco will not: a chance to do business in a city that only mandates you serve great food to great people. Understandably you’ll pass on us to develop in bigger cities, but given the chaos in today’s world, you can’t put a monetary value on quality of life, and we serve that in heavy doses around these parts,” Costelloe said. “We’d love to have you relocate to a city that still cares about business, the American dream and a darn good burger.” A good location Tehachapi is about 40 miles east of Bakersfield and 60 miles west of Barstow. Mojave, where state Route 14 ends at state Route 58, is about 20 miles west of Tehachapi. The intersection of state Route 58 and U.S. Highway 395 is in Kramer Junction about 50 miles east of Tehachapi. Approximately 10,000 people live within the Tehachapi city limits while approximately 30,000 more live in the Tehachapi ZIP code but not within the city boundaries. “They all shop here,” Costelloe said. Tehachapi already has fast-food restaurants. “We have plenty of capacity for additional restaurants,” Costelloe said. “Over the last couple of years, we’ve really focused on the freeway

off-ramps.” Costelloe said that additional fast-food restaurants won’t adversely affect establishments in Downtown Tehachapi. “It’s not going to impact the mom and pops because it’s a different business model,” he said. Tehachapi also has numerous gas stations including Pilot and Love’s travel centers. Costelloe was raised in Tehachapi, attended the local Nazarene church and left the area to attend college at Point Loma Nazarene University. Sought media career “I really wanted to go into journalism and broadcasting,” he said. He applied to three schools: Point Loma Nazarene, Azusa Pacific University and Northwest Nazarene University in Idaho. Costelloe was accepted by all three and opted to live in San Diego. He was on the air with the Point Loma Nazarene radio station and also announced basketball and baseball games. “It was just a great opportunity,” he said. In 2000, the Point Loma basketball team participated in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics tournament in Oklahoma City. Costelloe streamed the broadcasts online. “I guess I was the pioneer in the year 2000,” he said. After graduating from Point Loma Nazarene in 2002, Costelloe returned to Tehachapi and briefly worked for his father, who was an electrician. Costelloe’s first radio job was in California City, and he obtained a radio position in Bakersfield. He began broadcasting California State University Bakersfield games in 2003 and joined the university staff as the Roadrunners’ sports information director in 2011

while also broadcasting various sports. His wife, Melissa, is originally from Bakersfield. They have two sons: 4 1/2-year-old Silas and 2 1/2-year-old Stetson. In 2016 the family moved from Bakersfield to Tehachapi. “I wanted to raise them closer to family,” Costelloe said. Costelloe stayed at the university for one more year. In 2017, the Roadrunners’ basketball team lost in the finals of the Western Athletic Conference tournament and received a berth in the National Invitation Tournament playoffs. The Roadrunners became the first-ever eighth seed to advance to the Final Four in Madison Square Garden. Georgia Tech eliminated Cal State Bakersfield in the national semifinals, and after the game Costelloe changed his son’s diaper on the Madison Square Garden floor and concluded his basketball career. “It ended at the best moment possible,” he said. Working with businesses He accepted the position as the Tehachapi economic development coordinator and works with both small and large business as well as commercial real estate companies to attract national chains. Costelloe also initiated the city’s TehachaPod podcast which also features Garrett and Budge. Costelloe played football and baseball at Tehachapi High School and also wrestled for the Warriors. He is now the vice president of the Tehachapi Warriors Booster Club and the announcer for Tehachapi football games. He also occasionally announces CSU Bakersfield games, and he writes a sports column for a weekly newspaper called The Loop. The video seeking to lure In-

N-Out Burger to Tehachapi was released Thursday, Oct. 21. “We knocked it out pretty quick,” Costelloe said. The planning began the day after the San Francisco shutdown. “I had the idea,” Costelloe said. Costelloe developed the video script before he sought Garrett’s concurrence. “I pitched the video idea,” Costelloe said. “When I read it to him he said: ‘I want a piece of that.’” Budge and Costelloe incorporated the local footage into the presentation featuring Costelloe and Garrett. “We knew that time was super important. We couldn’t wait,” Costelloe said. “It was a quick 48hour turnaround to take advantage of that news cycle while that story was still in people’s minds.” Kern County wasn’t as aggressive in closing businesses as other counties throughout the state were during the coronavirus outbreak, and Tehachapi adopted temporary policies allowing restaurants and other businesses to make adjustments. “We didn’t lose any businesses, we didn’t lose any restaurants during COVID-19,” Costelloe said. “We believed that people needed to survive. We just let folks do what they needed to.” Tehachapi social media outlets have been responsible for approximately 200,000 views of the video seeking an In-N-Out Burger franchise. “It’s been shared all over,” Costelloe said. “It was absolutely the most popular video we’ve ever produced.” Joe Naiman can be reached by email at jnaiman@reedermedia. com.

Mojave Desert Land Trust names new Supervisors approve executive directors Lakeland Village projects City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Mojave Desert Land Trust announced members of a new executive team to lead the organization. Cody Hanford and Kelly Herbinson will serve as joint executive directors, sharing the overall responsibility of leading the organization, once outgoing director Geary Hund stepped down Sunday, Oct. 31, according to the organization. Herbinson has 20 years of experience working in biological research, conservation and community outreach, primarily focused on protecting the Mojave Desert region, according to MDLT. She holds a bachelor’s degree in ecology, behavior and evolution, and

a master’s degree in ecology and systematics. She has served on the MDLT’s board of directors since 2013. “As a longtime board member, I have seen the Mojave Desert Land Trust grow into one of the leading conservation organizations in the California desert,” Herbinson said in a statement. “I’m honored and excited for the opportunity to work with Cody in serving as joint executive directors. We’re looking forward to channeling our energy into protecting the desert landscape for the people and species that call it home.” Hanford has nearly 20 years of experience in California desert conservation through a number of roles he’s held over the years, most recently as a deputy executive director of the MDLT, where he

formed the organization’s Natural Resources Management Division. “I have been involved with the Mojave Desert Land Trust for over a decade as a contractor, supporter and partner, and this co-director partnership ensures long-term stability in the executive team role,” Hanford said in a statement. “This is a dream come true for me. I feel so fortunate to work closely with Kelly, a person whom I respect and admire, as we navigate the Land Trust into this next chapter.” Hund will be stepping down to pursue personal endeavors, according to MDLT. During Hund’s tenure, MDLT acquired more than 22,000 acres of California desert. As a result, the organization now protects more than 100,000 acres of desert within the state.

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved funding for four Lakeland Village projects. The supervisors’ 4-0 vote Tuesday, Oct. 26, with Jeff Hewitt absent, approved the projects and directed the county’s Transportation and Land Management Agency to initiate work on the projects. A single project covers Custer Street, Crawford Street and Landerville Boulevard north of Cottrell Boulevard. The county supervisors’ action allocated $400,000 to integrate those streets into the county-maintained road network. Zinck Way will also be integrated into the county-maintained road network. The $205,000 allocation is expected to fund improvements to Zinck Way from Grand Avenue

to approximately 1,005 feet south of Grand Avenue. Another $200,000 will be used for a sidewalk on Grand Avenue between Withrow Elementary School and Alvarado Street. The sidewalk is expected to improve the safety of children walking to and from Withrow Elementary School. A sidewalk on the south side of Grand Avenue between Adelfa Street and Blackwell Boulevard is a separate project. That $195,000 allocation will extend the sidewalk improvements past Fire Station 11 and will improve the safety of pedestrians walking to the convenience stores and businesses past Blackwell Boulevard.

Human hantavirus infection reported CHP gets ‘green light’ in Riverside County for its statewide DUI “Breathing small particles ... campaign the bacteria and viruses they may City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS bring with them and leave behind,” that have been stirred up into the A hantavirus infection involving a Riverside County resident who was likely exposed to disease-laden mice droppings in the Whitewater area prompted health officials Thursday, Oct. 28, to remind residents to take precautions in places inhabited by rodents. According to the county Department of Public Health, the patient, whose identity was not disclosed, became ill with viral symptoms earlier this month and was hospitalized but is now recovering at home. The hantavirus infection is believed to be the first in the county since testing for the pathogen began in 1993, officials said. “The confirmation of this case reminds us of the importance of key safety practices when coming in contact with animals and

Deputy Public Health Officer Dr. Jennifer Chevinsky said. “There are simple steps the community can take to protect themselves.” The pathogen has turned up in deer and Western harvest mice feces and urine in the San Gorgonio Pass and other parts of the county for years. Hantavirus can lead to a severe and potentially fatal respiratory infection in humans called hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, or HPS. Mice do not exhibit symptoms of being sick, making identification of infected creatures difficult, according to officials. Since 1993, there have 90 confirmed human cases statewide, according to the Department of Public Health. Transmission occurs through the rodents’ droppings, saliva and urine.

Residents were advised to avoid stirring up dust and debris when cleaning places where mice have left droppings and to follow these additional recommendations: ventilate rodent-infested places the night before cleaning them; apply household disinfectants liberally in rodent nesting areas; use rubber gloves while cleaning; use a mop or sponge, not a vacuum cleaner or broom, to clean; double-bag dead rodents and the waste cleared out of infested areas and wash hands with gloves still on, then wash again after removing them.

SACRAMENTO – The California Highway Patrol and the California Office of Traffic Safety are partnering on a campaign aimed at reducing the number of crashes caused by impaired drivers. The Impaired Driving Reduction education and enforcement campaign, which began Oct. 1, continues through Sept. 30, 2022. In 2019, impaired driving crashes were responsible for 568 deaths and 11,444 injuries within the CHP’s jurisdiction throughout the state. Each one of these injuries and deaths represents a preventable tragedy and a continued need to focus efforts on reducing impaired driving in California. “This grant will help support the department’s mission by strengthening education and enforcement efforts throughout the state,” CHP Commissioner Amanda Ray said. “As a public safety organization, we will continue to do everything in our power to promote safety for all on California’s roadways.” In 2020, more than 90,000 violations for driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs were cited by CHP officers through California. The IDR grant provides the CHP with funding to conduct additional saturation patrols, checkpoints, and traffic safety education efforts throughout California. These efforts are designed

to remove impaired drivers from the roadway and educate the public regarding the dangers of DUI. Additionally, the CHP will actively participate in California’s “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” public awareness campaign. The CHP wants to remind the public, “DUI Doesn’t Just Mean Booze.” Alcohol, cannabis, certain prescription and over-the-counter medications, illegal drugs or any combination can affect their ability to drive and will result in an arrest if a driver is under the influence. Always make good decisions and plan ahead by designating a sober driver, take public transportation or call a taxi or ride-share. There is always a better option than getting behind the wheel while impaired. The public is encouraged to call 911 if they observe a suspected impaired driver. Be prepared to provide the dispatcher a location, direction of travel and vehicle description. Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The mission of the CHP is to provide the highest level of safety, service and security. Submitted by California Highway Patrol.

Judge won’t validate water deal for California farm supplier

In this June 25, 2013, photo, workers move irrigation pipes from a field in the Westlands Water District near Five Points. A California judge has declined to validate a permanent water contract between the federal government and the Westlands Water District, the nation’s AP photo/Gosia Wozniacka photo largest agricultural water supplier.

Kathleen Ronayne THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A California judge has declined to validate a contract granting permanent access to federally controlled water for the nation’s largest agricultural water supplier, a move that means the U.S. government is not bound by terms of the deal. Environmentalists had blasted the contract between the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the Westlands Water District as a sweetheart arrangement designed to benefit corporate agricultural interests over environmental needs and taxpayers. It was crafted during the Donald Trump administration under former Interior Secretary David Bernhardt, a former lobbyist for Westlands, a public entity based in Fresno that supplies water to private farmers. “This was an effort to basically steal public resources and put them into private pockets,” Stephan Volker, an attorney for the Winnemem Wintu Tribe, the North Coast Rivers Alliance and several other groups, said. Westlands is evaluating the court’s ruling and may appeal if the case is dismissed, spokesperson Shelley Cartwright said. The water district rejects claims it received special treatment, with Cartwright saying it has “acted transparently” and followed the steps required by law. Fresno County Superior Court Judge D. Tyler Tharpe declined Wednesday, Oct. 27, to validate the contract between Westlands and the federal Bureau of Reclamation. The federal government is not bound by the terms of the contract until it is validated, though the two sides have already moved forward. Tharpe scheduled another hearing Dec. 2, to weigh dismissing the case. The water Westlands doles out to its agricultural customers and comes from the Central Valley Project, a federally run network of dams, tunnels and canals that brings water from California’s wetter north to the farm-rich San Joaquin Valley and heavily populated Southern

California. The case raises questions about how much water major districts that serve corporate interests should be entitled to at the expense of tribes and environmental interests that rely on certain water flows, said Patricia Schifferle of Pacific Advocates, a natural resources consulting firm. “The argument really is: Are we going to allocate that much water to Westlands Water District without conditions?” she said. The contract gives Westlands permanent access to 1.15 million acre-feet of water for irrigation and other purposes, though it doesn’t guarantee all of that water in drier years like the one California is now experiencing. Since 1988, Westlands has only received its full allocation from the Central Valley Project six times, according to the district’s website. An acre foot is 325,851 gallons. An average household uses one-half to one acre-foot of water a year, according to the Water Education Foundation, meaning the contract gave Westlands access to enough water to serve up to 2.3 million households. Westlands has long operated on an interim contract basis, renewing its water deal with the federal government every two years. But a law passed at the end of the Obama administration allows contractors to convert those contracts into permanent ones, so long as they agree to pay back the federal government for the cost of the water infrastructure. The permanent contracts have to be validated by a state court in order for the federal government to be bound by the terms. Tharpe is the second state judge who rejected its validation. The first judge said Westlands brought forward an incomplete contract that lacked key details including how much money the district would pay the government and when. Westlands also failed to provide appropriate notice to the public and left the contract open ended, potentially allowing for

Judge blocks LAPD officers’ bid to immediately overturn vaccine mandate City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A Los Angeles federal judge rejected a bid by a group of Los Angeles Police Department officers to immediately overturn the COVID-19 vaccination mandate for city employees, according to court papers obtained Thursday, Oct. 28. The lawsuit, filed in September in Los Angeles federal court, alleged the mandate violates the employees’ constitutional rights to privacy and due process. It also contends that data suggests that naturally acquired immunity may provide greater protection against the coronavirus and its variants than vaccine-induced immunity. An application for a temporary restraining order filed Oct. 24 argued that an online portal to request medical or religious exemptions to vaccinations “has never worked.” But in his order Wednesday, U.S. District Judge R. Gary Klausner ruled that the argument is “fatally undermined” by the fact that all 13 plaintiffs have apparently managed to file notices of intent to request exemptions. “Plaintiffs have not carried their burden of showing irreparable harm” from the alleged lack of an online submission portal, Klausner wrote in response to one of four plaintiff arguments the judge rejected. A Nov. 22 hearing is scheduled to discuss the issues brought up by the application. The suit takes issue with the ordinance’s statement that unvaccinated employees are at a greater risk of contracting and spreading COVID-19 within the workplace and risk transmitting the virus “to the public that depends on city

services.” The plaintiffs – currently 13 LAPD officers – argue that “the city does not provide any evidence to support this premise, despite mounting data suggesting fully vaccinated individuals contract and transmit the COVID-19 Delta variant just like non-vaccinated individuals.” Among the group are officers who could not assert a medical or religious exemption to the vaccine requirement and some who have “experienced and recovered” from COVID-19, according to the suit. “Studies indicate that these plaintiffs’ natural antibodies and immunity are greater than their vaccinated peers,” plaintiffs alleged. Along with the city, the complaint names Mayor Eric Garcetti, LAPD Chief Michel Moore and City Administrative Officer Matthew Szabo as defendants. Garcetti has said that the vaccination requirement would save lives. “My first responsibility is to protect lives,” the mayor said. “It’s not a difficult decision, 91% of the people dying in our hospitals are not vaccinated and you’re 11 times more likely to die without the vaccination.” He said that city employees “interact with the public. We can’t be out there and be spreading something that kills. This is pretty simple. People have their legal rights but we’re not going to back away.” The suit argued that there’s no evidence that natural-acquired immunity is not as effective as the jab. “The city does not and cannot point to any evidence that vaccinated individuals have longer lasting or more complete immunity than those who have recovered from COVID,” according to the complaint.

later changes not subject to public scrutiny or court approval, the judge ruled. Westlands moved forward anyway, finalizing the contract in early 2020. The district again sought approval. But Tharpe said the district’s decision to move forward with a more detailed contract didn’t change the fact that it initially sought approval for something incomplete. In his ruling, he again declined to validate the contract. Meanwhile, environmental groups and other opponents charge Westlands isn’t paying back all of what it owes the federal government

for use of the water infrastructure. The Interior Department previously said Westlands owed the federal government $480 million. That was eventually brought down to about $210 million, which Cartwright said the district has “fully repaid.” But opponents said Westlands owes significantly more money for projects designed to mitigate damage and restore habitats for fish and wildfire through the water system, including the chinook salmon. Under a 1992 law, Central Valley Project contractors owe a combined $400 million for environmental work, with much of that cost falling

to Westlands as the largest contractor. Cartwright said that Westlands pays for restoration work. Westlands said it is following the same process as other water districts for converting its contract and that it’s received no special treatment. “The suggestion that the permanent nature of the proposed Westlands repayment contract makes it an ‘unusually good deal’ is simply false,” according to the district in a 2020 “fact sheet” about the contract. Bureau of Reclamation representative Mary Lee Knecht declined to comment because the issue still is being litigated.

Vaccine mandates create conflict with workers David Sharp, Mike Catalini and Stefanie Dazio THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Josh “Chevy” Chevalier is a third-generation shipbuilder who hasn’t missed a day of work during the pandemic in his job as a welder constructing Navy warships on the Maine coast. But he’s ready to walk away from his job because of an impending mandate from President Joe Biden that federal contractors and all U.S. businesses with 100 or more workers be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. “People are fighting for their constitutional rights – the way they think their life should be,” Chevalier, one of hundreds of employees at Bath Iron Works threatening to leave, said. Chevalier is among a significant number of American workers deciding whether to quit their jobs and careers in defiance of what they consider intrusive edicts that affect their medical freedoms. The Joe Biden administration, public health officials and many business leaders agree that vaccine requirements are legal, prudent actions necessary to help the world emerge from a pandemic that has killed more than 700,000 Americans and nearly 5 million people worldwide. The workers have the potential to create disruptions in a tight labor market and come from all types of occupations – defense industry workers, police officers, firefighters, educators and health care workers. In Seattle, a group of city firefighters turned in their boots at City Hall last week to protest a vaccination requirement. Thousands of people have sought religious or medical exemptions and others who don’t want to be forced to take an injection they don’t want have quit or

been fired. Nick Rolovich, the football coach at Washington State University, was let go from his $3.2 million-a-year job Monday, Oct. 18, along with four assistants. Rolovich, the first major college coach to lose his job over vaccination status, claimed a religious exemption but has declined to elaborate. He is suing. The conflict over mandates is likely to grow in the coming weeks. Just this week, a Los Angeles federal judge rejected a bid by a group of Los Angeles Police Department officers to immediately overturn the COVID-19 vaccination mandate for city employees. In the case Pennsylvania Informed Consent Advocates, Inc. v. University of Pennsylvania Health System, et al., No. 5:21-cv04415 (E.D. Pa. Oct. 7, 2021): the plaintiff organization challenged proof of COVID-19 vaccination requirements set by the University of Pennsylvania Health System

for employees. The plaintiffs are arguing that such requirements constitute “compelled speech” and violate rights to free exercise and bodily autonomy and that resulting employment action would constitute wrongful dismissal. The court has not yet issued a decision. A rule for federal contractors goes into effect in December, with no testing option, but many businesses, governments and schools are already implementing mandates. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other groups that represent large employers have warned workers might simply migrate to jobs at smaller businesses where they don’t face vaccination requirements. That could create challenges for large retailers going into the holiday season, among other disruptions, the chamber warned. Individuals who’ve left their jobs and are seeking work that doesn’t require vaccinations are

sharing information on social media. Small employers looking for workers are turning to online job boards such as RedBalloon, where employers sign a pledge that they won’t make vaccines a condition for hiring. Andrew Crapuchettes, RedBalloon’s founder and chief executive, said he started the online job board more than two months ago for people “who just want to work and don’t want to get into politics in the office.” More than 800 companies have posted, and more than 250,000 people have visited the site, he said. Some states, including Texas, Montana and Florida, are gearing up to fight or undercut the Biden mandates. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order Monday, Oct. 25, barring any entity from requiring vaccines. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Thursday he will call a special session to pass legislation to combat vaccine mandates, saying that, “in Florida, your right to earn a living is not contingent upon whatever choices you’re making in terms of these injections.” Melissa Alfieri-Collins, a 44-year-old mother of two, said she resigned from her job as a nurse at Jersey Shore Medical Center in Neptune, New Jersey, rather than undergo regular COVID-19 testing. She said the hospital recognized her request for a medical exemption, but she objected to the requirement that only unvaccinated people get tested, arguing that even vaccinated people can spread disease. “My family and I, we had a long talk, and I basically don’t want to compromise my values anymore,” Alfieri-Collins, who hopes to become a nurse practitioner and pursue her own holistic practice, said. “I am very sad because I am

the type of nurse that loves my patients and my patients love me.” Anthony Polenski, director of strategic partnerships for tech recruiting company Jobfuture.ai, said he’s seeing candidates who want to know, “Will this company force me to take a jab?” Polenski said they are often leaving previous employers because of a vaccine mandate. “They don’t want their vaccination status attached to their employment,” he said. At the shipyard in Maine, frustration is rising among union members. On Friday, some 100 shipbuilders gathered outside the shipyard during their lunch break to protest being forced to get vaccinated. They marched down the street, holding signs decrying the mandate and using choice four-letter words that made clear what they think of the president and his vaccine mandates. The union feared it could lose more than 1,000 workers, or 30% of its membership, over the federal contractor mandate. Dean Grazioso, a 33-year Bath Iron Works employee, said he’s not anti-vaccine but that he knows vaccinated co-workers, friends and family members who’ve contracted breakthrough COVID-19 infections. Such infections are rare and vaccinated people who get COVID-19 usually have mild symptoms and are far less likely to be hospitalized or die. The 53-year-old is still deciding whether to get the shot. “I’m still up in the air,” he said. “But I’ve got a huge decision to make.” Catalini reported from Trenton, New Jersey, and Dazio reported from Los Angeles. AP writer Anthony Izaguirre in Tallahassee, Florida, contributed to this report.

Over 11,000 active-duty Air Force personnel unvaccinated as deadline looms Zachary Stieber THE EPOCH TIMES

The Air Force could lose thousands of troops in the coming weeks as over 11,000 active-duty personnel remain without a COVID-19 vaccine, just days before the deadline to get one. Some 96.4% of active-duty airmen were partially or fully vaccinated as of Oct. 25, the branch said in its latest vaccination update. That means approximately 11,462 airmen have not begun a vaccination program before the Nov. 2 deadline to become fully vaccinated. Another nearly 12,000 reserve personnel or Space Force members remain unvaccinated, according to data released by the Air Force. Reserves have until Dec. 2 to become fully vaccinated. Fully vaccinated means getting a vaccination regimen and

then at least two weeks elapsing. Members who haven’t yet started a program cannot come into compliance with the mandate. “We don’t anticipate we will be to a 100% vaccination rate,” an Air Force spokeswoman told Defense One this week. Any troops who don’t get a vaccine by the deadline and have not received or is not in the process of seeking a religious or medical exemption will be deemed in violation of a lawful order and subject to discipline under Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. They could be court-martialed or face other disciplinary measures. The mandate stems from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s order in late August for all troops to get a vaccine unless they receive an exemption. Each branch head decided sepa-

rately on mandate details, including deadlines. The Air Force has the earliest deadlines for active-duty troops and reserves. An Air Force spokesperson told The Epoch Times earlier this month that the deadlines would not be pushed back. Hundreds of thousands of troops across the military weren’t vaccinated in the middle of October. As of Oct. 27, over 381,000 troops remain unvaccinated, according to an analysis of Pentagon data. The vast majority, or nearly 320,000, are in the Army, the Army reserve or the Army National Guard. Army reserves have the most lenient deadline, by far. They have until June 30, 2022, to become fully vaccinated. Active-duty sailors and Marines have until Nov. 28, while active-duty soldiers have until Dec. 15.

Austin, who now serves as defense secretary, issued a Nov. 2 deadline in late August for all troops to get a vaccine unless they receive an exemption. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais, File)

It remains unclear how many religious and medical exemptions have been approved. The Pentagon previously referred requests for numbers to each branch. The Army didn’t respond to a query and the Navy declined to comment. The Marines said it had not started approving any religious accommodation requests while declining to speak about medical exemptions. The Air Force told The Epoch Times earlier this month it is not tracking exemption requests and therefore could not say how many were approved, if any. The Air Force told news outlets this week it would start releasing approved exemption numbers after the deadline. Pentagon spokesman John Kirby declined to directly address complaints from some sailors who

said that leaders told them their religious exemption applications were going to be denied Wednesday, Oct. 27. “I don’t have any direct knowledge of a situation where a member of the military was told by his or her leadership, ‘hey, go ahead and apply, but you’re going to get denied,’” he told reporters in Washington. “I go back to what the secretary expects that there is an exemption policy in place well before the COVID vaccine, so it’s not new. And his expectation is that if members of the military want to apply for one that they should be able to. And they should be able to make their case. And the leadership should follow the same process for that exemption request as they would for any other.” Reprinted with permission.

People and homes vanish due to 2020 census’ new privacy method Mike Schneider THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The three-bedroom colonial-style house where Jessica Stephenson has lived in Milwaukee for the last six years bustles with activity on any given weekday, filled with the chattering of children in the day care center she runs out of her home. The U.S. Census Bureau says no one lives there. “They should come and see it for themselves,” Stephenson said. From her majority-Black neighborhood in Wisconsin to a community of Hasidic Jews in New York’s Catskill Mountains to a park outside Tampa, Florida, a method used by the census bureau for the first time to protect confidentiality in the 2020 census has made people and occupied homes vanish, at least on paper, when they actually exist in the real world. It’s not a magic trick but rather a new statistical method the bureau is using called differential privacy, which involves the intentional addition of errors to data to obscure the identity of any given participant. Bureau officials say it’s necessary to protect privacy in a time of increasingly sophisticated data mining, as technological innovations magnify the threat of people being “re-identified” through the use of powerful computers to match census information with other public databases. By law, census answers are supposed to be confidential. But some city officials and demographers think it veers too far from reality, and could cause errors in the data used for drawing political districts and distributing federal funds. At least one analysis suggests that differential privacy could penalize minority communities by undercounting areas that are racially

and ethnically mixed. Harvard University researchers found that the method made it more difficult to create political districts of equal population and could result in fewer majority-minority districts. The census bureau, for its part, argues that the data is every bit as good as in past censuses and that the low-level inaccuracies don’t present a large-scale problem. What’s certain is that the method can produce weird, contradictory and false results at the smallest geographic levels, such as neighborhood blocks. For example, the official 2020 census results say 54 people live in Stephenson’s census block in midtown Milwaukee, but also that there are no occupied homes. In reality almost two dozen houses occupy the car-lined streets, some dating back more than a century. Forty-eight of the residents living in the block are Black, according to the census, though it’s difficult to know for sure, given the whimsy of differential privacy. In another case, the census lists no people living in the Flatwoods Conservation Park outside Tampa, even though it says there is a home occupied by people. According to Hillsborough County spokesman Todd Pratt, two county employees live there while maintaining security for the park. And in an enclave of Hasidic Jews located in Kiamesha Lake, New York, 81 people are recorded as residents, but the census officially says there are no occupied homes. Sullivan County property records show almost a dozen homes whose residents have ties to the Vizhnitzer Hasidic community. The unreliable data has created headaches for city managers and planners of small communities who worry that it may not be valid for decision-making. Eric Guthrie,

a senior demographer at the Minnesota State Demographic Center, said he has been contacted by a half-dozen city managers from around the state who were concerned about potential impacts to state and federal funding. “I explain to them there’s not a method for correcting it, that it’s not an error in the traditional sense,” Guthrie said. “The bug is there by design.” The scale of the changes become clearer when viewed through a broader lens. For Florida, the nation’s third most populous state with more than 21 million residents, the 2020 census listed 15,000 neighborhood blocks as having 200,000 residents but no occupied homes. On the flip side, 1,200 of the state’s 484,000 blocks were listed as having occupied homes but no population, according to Rich Doty, geographic information system coordinator and research demographer at the University of Florida’s Bureau of Economic and Business Research. “We expected these anomalies, as we were warned about this by the census bureau and other states,” Doty said. “We just didn’t expect this many.” Ahead of the release of census data used for drawing congressional and legislative districts in August, acting census bureau director Ron Jarmin warned that its application could produce some “fuzzy” figures at the neighborhood block level and urged data users to combine blocks to get accurate results. But the bureau also says that despite the implementation of differential privacy, the quality of the 2020 data isn’t any worse than previous censuses based on measurements of data quality. That claim is hard to evaluate since the raw data without the application of differential privacy

Federal contractors get more flexibility to enforce COVID-19 vaccine rules for millions Jack Phillips THE EPOCH TIMES

New guidance released by the White House Monday suggests that federal contractors will have significant leeway in enforcing President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Federal contractors such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, United Airlines, IBM, UPS and many more employ a significant number of Americans. The new guidance, released on the Safer Federal Workforce website, provides flexibility for those companies to determine how to enforce the mandate. “A covered contractor should determine the appropriate means of enforcement with respect to its employee at a covered contractor workplace who refuses to be vaccinated and has not been provided, or does not have a pending request for, an accommodation,” according to the guidelines. Biden announced mandates for federal workers, federal contractors and most health care staff, Sept. 9. Those mandates differ from the forthcoming mandate for businesses with 100 or more employees stipulating that workers either get the vaccine or submit to weekly testing. Federal contractors have no option to submit testing, and the only method by which workers can opt out is by seeking a medical or religious exemption. “A covered contractor must ensure the covered contractor employee at a covered contractor workplace is following all workplace safety protocols for individuals who are not fully vaccinated,” the guidance also says. And a federal agency “may determine that a covered contractor employee who refuses to be vaccinated in accordance with a contractual requirement pursuant to [Biden’s executive order] will be denied entry to a federal workplace, consistent with the agency’s workplace safety protocols,” it says. For federal workers who don’t want to get the vaccine, “a limited period of counseling and education, followed by additional disciplinary measures” may be necessary, according to the White House. “Removal occurs only after continued noncompliance.” Several companies that have contracts with the federal government are considering ending their agreements ahead of a Dec. 8 deadline. Bill Sullivan, the vice president of the American Trucking Associa-

is not being made public, Stefan Rayer, a University of Florida demographer, said. “We have to take their word for it,” Rayer said. Using test data, the Harvard researchers found that differential privacy was more likely to undercount mixed-race and mixed-partisan precincts, “yielding unpredictable racial and partisan biases,” because it prioritizes the accuracy of the population count for the largest racial group in a given area. “Our findings underscore the difficulty of balancing accuracy and respondent privacy in the census,” they said in a report. The census bureau disagrees, and so far the courts have found no reason to stop it. Differential privacy was unsuccessfully challenged by the state of Alabama earlier this year. In a declaration for that lawsuit, the census bureau’s chief scientist, John Abowd, called the data “extremely accurate” and said the use of differential privacy showed no bias regarding racial or ethnic minorities.

Employment

Trucks fill up on gas at the One9 truck stop in Wildwood, Georgia, Oct. 20. Previously, the American Trucking Associations, the Cargo Air Association and other trade groups have issued warning that the already stretched-thin supply chain would be subject to further strain as some workers will be laid off or will simply quit over the mandate.

(Jackson Elliott/The Epoch Times)

tions, suggested in an interview over the weekend that some firms likely won’t follow the mandate and will instead just drop their contracts with the government and explained that the potential loss of workers would be too great. Should those companies leave their agreements, it will be hard for the federal government to move military vehicles, transport the National Guard or make it more difficult to transport food to troops around the United States. Affects fed transport “I am confident but with heavy heart recognize a vaccine mandate will mean less capacity for the government as a customer of freight,” Sullivan told Politico Oct. 31. “It has the potential to seriously impact military readiness,” he said of the COVID-19 vaccine mandate announced by Biden on Sept. 9. The Biden administration, he said, is using a one-size-fits-all strategy to mandate vaccines for Americans and suggested they didn’t think of all the possible scenarios that could have emerged. “I feel like the president has tried to be beautifully simple like this could apply to everybody, and by doing that, there will be an impact,” Sullivan told the outlet. Previously, the American Trucking Associations, the Cargo Air Association and other trade groups have issued letters making ominous predictions about fallout associated with the vaccine mandate. They warned that the already stretchedthin supply chain would be subject to further strain as some workers will be laid off or will simply quit over the mandate. Other than mandating vaccinations for federal contractors and workers, the president also announced he would direct the Labor Department to create a rule man-

dating vaccines or regular testing for businesses with 100 or more workers, potentially impacting as many as 80 million private-sector employees. White House officials have expressed confidence that workers, when faced with the mandate, would instead opt in. Last week, COVID-19 response coordinator Jeff Zients told reporters at a news conference that after United Airlines and Tyson Foods announced their respective vaccine mandates, it pushed both companies’ vaccination rates to more than 90%. Zients also offered some reassurance last week that the mandate should not cause disruption to holiday services. “So, these processes play out across weeks, not days,” Zients said about a week ago. “And so, to be clear, we’re creating flexibility within the system. We’re offering people multiple opportunities to get vaccinated. There is not a cliff here.” But Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo signaled the White House won’t delay its plans around vaccine mandates. In an interview Sunday with CBS News, Raimondo said that a delay “would be a big mistake” and again stressed that the only way the U.S. economy will recover is by having every worker get vaccinated. Over the past weekend, 10 attorneys general in Republican-led states filed a legal complaint against the Biden administration’s federal contractor mandate, arguing that the move is tantamount to a “power grab” and would imperil the U.S. economy. The Epoch Times has contacted the White House and American Trucking Associations for comment. Reprinted with permission.

“Redistricters can remain confident in the accuracy of the population counts and demographic characteristics of the voting districts they draw, despite the noise in the individual building blocks,” Abowd said. Not everyone believes the technique is the right way to protect confidentiality. Two University of Minnesota researchers wrote in a recent paper that a census bureau experiment failed to show genuine threats to confidentiality and that any risks of re-identification were similar to random guessing of households’ characteristics. One of them, demographer Steven Ruggles, said during a presentation this month that the census bureau’s fear of re-identification and the resulting justification for using differential privacy could undermine confidence in the census data. “It should not justify the degradation of the statistical infrastructure of our country,” Ruggles said. “The whole thing is likely to backfire.”

MSJC faculty and staff military veterans build guitars as part of ‘Guitar Heroes Operation Twang’

Mt. San Jacinto College faculty, administrators and classified professionals build guitars, Oct. 22-24, as Valley News/Courtesy photos part of “Guitar Heroes Operation Twang” that supports veterans.

SAN JACINTO – Mt. San Jacinto College faculty, administrators and classified professionals built guitars Friday through Sunday, Oct. 22-24, as part of “Guitar Heroes Operation Twang” at the college’s Menifee Valley Campus. The 10 faculty members, all military veterans, built custom guitars based on their own designs and themes under a tent on the campus. The build was part of Hemetbased nonprofit American Patriot Music Project’s Veterans Guitar

Project. For several years, the group has used the program to provide therapeutic support and music opportunities for veterans and first responders. They hold about two guitar workshops each year. The three-day build trained the MSJC faculty and classified professionals so they can lead additional builds with student-veterans at MSJC. The college features a Veterans Resource Center that help support the college’s military and veteran students and their families.

“We hope to create Veterans Guitar Workshops at any college that has a Veterans Resource Center,” Tony Villegas, the executive director of the American Patriot Music Project, which also features the Temecula area-based American Patriot Band, said. The group partners with the National Science Foundation STEM Guitar Building Project. Mt. San Jacinto College serves about 27,000 students annually in a district covering 1,700 square

Murrieta school board votes for interim trustee Michelle Gerst SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Murrieta Unified School Board voted for a provisional appointment to replace Kenneth Dickson who tendered his resignation in September. During a special meeting Oct. 28, Ellen Larson was voted 3-1 to replace Dickson when he leaves office Nov. 22. Trustee Paul Diffley was the dissenting vote. Dickson has been on the dais since 1998 and now plans to move to the East Coast to be with family. Larson’s interim position will expire in a year and at that time she can seek election to fill the remainder of the term through November 2024. Larson was interviewed by the trustees along with four other

candidates who included Murrieta residents Kent Chivington, Stephen Allen, Karen Michaud, Jon Levell and Jennifer Mejares Pham. At the meeting, each trustee publicly gave their top two choices in candidates. Diffley’s top choice was Karen Michaud. Larson, Levell and Michaud were among the top three mentioned for consideration. Diffley said at the meeting, “We have some very difficult times for the board coming to use shortly. I made my choice based on who can hit the ground running, having the experience and background to cover the areas that need to be covered.” Linda Lunn said publicly, “The background in public education was really crucial and was a big

part of what guided my choices.” Larson will represent Area 3 in the Murrieta Unified School District which includes Vista Murrieta High School, Antelope Hills, Rail Ranch and Alta Murrieta elementary schools. Larson has served schools and parents throughout Riverside County for 32 years. She works as a family engagement consultant for the Riverside County Office of Education. Larson, who has three grandchildren in the school district, told the board, “I am excited to continue serving as a trustee of the MVUSD Board of Education. I have never wanted to do this but for some reason this seemed like the right time.”

Anza Valley Christian Fellowship tent sale raises funds for community outreach Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

Anza bargain hunters were not disappointed by the massive number of quality items offered at the Anza Valley Christian Fellowship tent sale Thursday, Oct. 28, through Saturday, Oct. 30, at the church grounds off Bautista Road in Anza. Kitchenware, collectibles, shoes, purses, linens, books, toys, clothes, jewelry and more were scooped up by shoppers all three days. The semiannual tent sale was reduced to an annual fall event this year due to the pandemic and lack of inventory. But the quality and volume of the merchandise offered for sale was astounding. “What a great selection,” one shopper said. “I found all the things I needed to finish Halloween costumes for the kids, even a see FELLOWSHIP, page AVO-4

Pumpkins abound in Anza Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

A sea of orange fades into the hills at the pumpkin field on Kirby Road in Anza. More photos on page AVO-5. Anza Valley Outlook/Diane Sieker photo

A large field of ripening pumpkins brought praise and awe on local social media groups in Anza. Located north of State Highway 371 on Kirby Road, the patch, visible for miles, has attracted a fan following. The bright orange fruits, some small and some possibly weighing over 20 pounds, have been slowly growing virtually unnoticed all summer. Now that the farmers have stopped watering the plants, the large leaves have died down enough to expose a sea of stunning color. Harvesting of the beautiful pumpkins has begun and soon the annual treat will be gone until next fall. Diane Sieker can be reached by email at dsieker@reedermedia. com.

LRE author self publishes her story of redemption and forgiveness Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

Author Raychel Hosch from Lake Riverside Estates selfpublished her first book, “The Two-Sided Coin: A Daughter’s Chronicle.” The book with her memoirs is currently available online in digital form. Hosch said she intended to write a book about her 30 years of experience in the field of speech language pathology and the people she interacted with, however, it soon became clear that she needed to write a story first about how she came to be interested in the field and the one who inspired her the most on the journey. Her first digital book is about her relationship with her father who was an alcoholic. “It is a story of redemption and forgiveness,” she said. “Each chapter stands alone but also weaves a thread of divine intervention that leads to my father’s salvation before the end of our journey together.” Hosch moved to Lake Riverside Estates in June, with husband Don

and her three children: Daniel, 24; Morgan, 21, who are both artists; and Skyler, 17, a senior in high school. She said the quiet mountain community has proved to be an inspirational backdrop to continue in her writing endeavors. “I plan on writing another book about speech and language and about some of the kids I have worked with that have autism and hearing impairments,” she said. “I want to write about my experiences with children with special needs that I have met over the last 30 years.” In “The Two-Sided Coin: A Daughter’s Chronicle,” Hosch said that her father, John Jeffery Reese, was not a complex man. He had been described by his father as “meaner than a junkyard dog” and by his mother as “the most sensitive of all my boys.” “He was an alcoholic for most of his life, and for a long time I was a victim of the disease as well, not because I drank, but because I knew him,” Hosch said. “Consider for a moment that God gives us our pain as a gift, tailored especially for us in order to shape us into the people we are

to become and to fulfill a higher purpose for our lives. The writing of this book was an exploration of that consideration and it has made all the difference.” The book is an attempt, she said, to tell how one man came to be both haunted by disease and regret and yet also worthy of his faith. “This is a memoir of the human being that was my dad and the human being I discovered in myself,” she said. “He suffered from alcoholism but that is not the person that he was. It is also not always what I saw in him as his daughter. That is the side of the coin that I hope I can illustrate in my writing.” “The Two-Sided Coin: A Daughter’s Chronicle” currently can only be found in digital form on Apple Books. To order a copy, follow the direct link: https://books.apple. com/us/book/the-two-sided-coin/ id1523852376. Diane Sieker can be reached by email at dsieker@reedermedia. com.

Acuna gave an update regarding emergency routes in the Anza Valley. He said that his staff was 90% done with a map showing the roads that were discussed at the September meeting as necessary for emergency access from Terwilliger Road to Bradford Road and Bradford Road to Terwilliger Road. It has been determined that many sections of the road have been granted as public dedication access areas but are not accepted by the county of Riverside for purposes of maintenance or responsibility. The transportation department

is reviewing every parcel to determine if a request for public dedication was requested and if it was, then the county will put the change on the map. This change will be verified and published. If an owner puts a gate across one of these dedicated areas, the county cannot force them to remove the gate, but they can send a letter asking them to remove it. Noncompliance can only be addressed by the citizens affected, in a court of law. “When an owner requests public dedication, the county accepts that on behalf of the public, but they do not have any authority over it,” Acuna said. The county does not receive any monies for maintenance of dirt roads, he said. A cost estimate to pave would probably be $1 million a mile for engineering and construction. If the county can go ahead and put together estimates, then they would be ready if a grant should become available. “Once the map is finished, we need to look to determine how to approach the challenge to ensure emergency exit routes are available,” he said. Acuna will present the final mapping documents at the next AVMAC meeting. Next, Brock presented the maps that are being considered for county redistricting. The process occurs every 10 years in conjunction with

the census. The goal is that each district has equal representation. A final public hearing was scheduled Wednesday, Nov. 3. New boundaries must be adopted by Wednesday, Dec. 15. Four maps have been drawn by the executive team with the goal to have 483,000 people per district. Redistricting must follow federal and state law which requires geographic continuity. Communities of interest should stay together. Boundaries must be easily identified in looking at a map. District 3 currently has over 504,000 people and must lose some population. Gary Worobec said that it is important not to split up the mountain communities of Sage, Aguanga, Garner Valley, Anza and Lake Riverside Estates because they all deal with similar issues such as roads, trails and illegal cannabis cultivation. “By splitting us up we lose our strength as a lobby,” he said. Morris gave a code enforcement update, stating that 39 cannabis cases were opened in Anza and Aguanga since the September AVMAC meeting. Twenty-five of those have been closed as compliant. Twenty-nine cases have been sent to the county council, where 26 were first offenders and three were second offenders. Seven temporary restraining orders were granted, and all plants were removed at that time. Three of these

required enforcement to remove the plants. Code enforcement partnered with the district attorney to do one sample warrant. They went into a hemp registrant farm and took samples which came back as cannabis and not hemp. Hemp registrants had notices sent that stated they no longer have hemp exceptions because they were caught growing cannabis. The council is trying to prevent wells from going in on unimproved properties where the water could be used to grow cannabis, Morris said. “As we get to the end of grow season, there is a race for time and growers do not willingly remove their plants because they don’t have time to replant,” she said. She said the committee that code enforcement is brainstorming with Anza Electric Cooperative to see if there are ideas on ways to stop electric service to illegal grows. The committee discussed presenting local nonprofits at future AVMAC meetings, with the goal of having nonprofits, such as KOYT-FM radio, Anza Trail Town, Thimble Club or Anza Civic Improvement League, participate in the AVMAC meetings. The council agreed to put out an invitation to one or two groups to attend each meeting. The Anza Valley sign update was presented by Kopp. “We are waiting for a meeting with Dan Christopherson, who has

been very busy,” she said. The Anza Valley Chamber of Commerce is offering two metal horses to place with the Anza Valley signage, Kopp said. The council will pursue grant funds available through the county, grant applications for federal special identification codes and funding through the American Rescue Plan Act. All the funding is related to COVID-19 relief. The Anza Valley Municipal Advisory Committee is currently short one member and that position needs to be filled. The meeting was adjourned, with the next meeting slated for Wednesday, Nov. 10. The AVMAC’s purpose is to connect the people of the Anza Valley with the Riverside County Board of Supervisors and vice versa. They encourage community participation to improve all aspects of life for the residents of the Anza Valley.

Bobcats earn CIF South Valley League championship title Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

The Hamilton Bobcat football team faced off against the Nuview Bridge Knights for the South Valley League Championship Thursday, Oct. 28, in a home game that turned out to be full of thrills and excitement. The home team was victorious 26-20, to earn the California Interscholastic Federation South Valley League championship title in a double overtime battle. “This was a hard fought game and it was clear that both teams played their hearts out,” Hamilton head coach Patrick McGowan said. “This game was so close it took two overtime periods for a winner, and your Hamilton Bobcats came out on top 26-20.” Offensively, there were big moves from senior running back Jamal Robinson (9) and senior receiver Ethan Scott (20). Robinson had over 100 yards rushing, one rushing touchdown and one passing touchdown. Scott had nearly 100 yards receiving and two receiving touchdowns, including the game winner in double overtime. Defensively the Bobcats were

all over the Knights, repeatedly shutting them down drive after drive. This was a full defensive team effort that included big plays from senior defensive linemen Aurelius Orozco (70), Jacob Crawford (69), Zack Vollan (75)

and Isaiah Esparza (72). The linebackers also had a huge game with incredible effort shown by seniors Alex Lopez (24), Brady McDermott (7), Rafa Marquez (11) and juniors Luke Blackmore (49) and Alex Orozco

(54). The defensive backs also had their best game of the season by only allowing one completed pass, causing multiple incompletions and catching one interception. The defensive backs were seniors Hunter Blackmore (6),

Ethan Scott (20), Ayden Hyland (4), Jamal Robinson (9) and sophomore James Davies (87). “This was a true testament to the heart of this team. They have been through so much uncertainty and adversity with the last two years, and they continue to keep fighting for each other. This is the group that were freshmen when I took over as head coach four years ago,” McGowan said. “It is incredible to have seen how much this group has grown and matured over this time. They deserve this League Championship win, and to have it happen on Senior night is simply beautiful.” Now the team must wait to hear from CIF on their playoff bracket. The first round of playoffs will be Friday, Nov. 5, at 7 p.m. However, the location and adversary is yet to be announced. Information will be shared as soon as it is determined.

COURTS & CRIMES

Authorities allegedly find cache of guns, ammunition at Murrieta home City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

MURRIETA (CNS) - Deputies found a stockpile of guns and ammunition at the Murrieta home of a 32-year-old felon and documented gang member, sheriff’s officials said last week. The parole compliance search was conducted at about 2 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 28, at a residence in the 26000 block of Saint Julian Circle, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

Authorities allegedly found a short barrel semi-automatic rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun, several highcapacity magazines associated with the rifle, and more than 180 rounds of ammunition at the home. Andrew Davis, a resident of the home, was already jailed on suspicion of unrelated drug crimes at the time of the search, sheriff’s officials said. Davis was re-booked into jail on suspicion of additional counts related to the guns and ammunition seized by deputies.

Trial date set in Temecula murder case City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A Dec. 2 trial date was confirmed Friday, Oct. 29, for a man accused of fatally stabbing a 34-year-old acquaintance during a confrontation in Temecula. Andrew Christian Temple, 30, of Temecula is charged with murder and a sentence-enhancing allegation of using a deadly weapon in the commission of a felony for the 2019 slaying of David Deschepper. During a status hearing at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta, Riverside County Superior

Court Judge F. Paul Dickerson consulted with the prosecution and defense regarding trial scheduling, and both sides agreed to be prepared to move forward in the first week of December. Dickerson set a pretrial hearing for Nov. 5 to ensure the parties remain on track. Temple is being held on $1 million bail at the Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta. According to sheriff’s Sgt. Richard Carroll, on the afternoon of Dec. 21, 2019, Temple and Deschepper got into a dispute near a business in the 41000 block of Moreno Road, just off Jefferson Avenue, culminating in the defen-

dant allegedly pulling a knife and stabbing the victim. The nature of the dispute was unclear. Deschepper was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, who were called to the location minutes after the alleged attack, according to Carroll. Temple was arrested without a struggle nearby and booked into jail after being questioned by detectives. According to court records, the defendant has prior misdemeanor convictions for domestic abuse and driving on a suspended license.

Nurse arrested on suspicion Teacher admits sexually assaulting Perris boy of credit card theft City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A nurse at Temecula Valley Hospital was arrested in Murrieta Friday, Oct. 29, for allegedly stealing credit cards from an elderly patient. Isabel Valdez, 33, was arrested after Riverside County sheriff’s investigators served a search warrant at a residence in the 24000 block of Leafwood Drive, according to sheriff’s Sgt. Deirdre Vickers. “The suspect, Isabel Valdez, a registered nurse for the Temecula Valley Hospital was arrested for

theft by credit card, financial elder abuse and identity theft,” Vickers said. “Further investigation revealed she acted alone and the hospital was unaware of her actions.” Valdez was booked into the Cois M. Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta with bail set at $140,000, according to sheriff’s inmate records. Anyone with information, or who thinks they were a victim of credit card or identity theft at Temecula Valley Hospital, was encouraged to call Sergeant Frank Tiburzio or Vickers at (951) 6963169.

City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A 30-year-old former Perris High School math teacher who sexually assaulted a boy on multiple occasions pleaded guilty recently to seven felony offenses. Gerardo Curiel Regalado of Perris admitted five counts of sodomy of a child under 16 years old, as well as one count each of supplying pornography to a minor and annoying a child. The plea was made directly to Riverside County Superior Court Judge Ronald Taylor, without input from the District Attorney’s Office during an Oct. 25 hearing. Taylor indicated a sentence of three years, eight months in state prison would be appropriate to

which prosecutors objected, but he overruled the objection and scheduled a sentencing hearing for Jan. 7 at the Riverside Hall of Justice. Taylor left Regalado’s bail at $1 million. He is being held at the Cois M. Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta. According to sheriff’s Sgt. John Burke, deputies were notified near the end of January of inappropriate contact between Regalado and the victim, identified in court documents only as “John Doe,” beginning in 2013. Regalado was working as a tutor and varsity volleyball coach for both the boys’ and girls’ teams at Perris High School, Burke said. According to court records, the illicit sex acts occurred mostly in 2015, both in Perris and Lake

Elsinore. The circumstances were not disclosed. Prosecutors said there was a second youth on whom Regalado additionally focused his attention, but no sexual abuse was alleged, only harassment. That victim’s name also was not revealed. Soon after the sheriff’s investigation got underway, Regalado was suspended from his position as a math teacher, a job into which he had been placed in August 2019, according to the Perris Union High School District. Officials said shortly before being taken into custody, Regalado resigned his post. Regalado has no documented previous felony convictions in Riverside County.

Fire destroys mobile home in Sage City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A fire that erupted Wednesday, Oct. 27, in a mobile home on the north end of Sage destroyed the residence and threatened to spread into nearby vegetation before it was stopped. The blaze was reported about

12:25 p.m. in the area of Osage and Red Mountain roads, according to the Riverside County Fire Department. Multiple engine crews were sent to the location and found the doublewide mobile home engulfed in flames. Occupants of the structure escaped, though one suffered un-

specified minor injuries, according to officials at the scene. Firefighters got the blaze under control shortly after 1 p.m. and were expected to remain at the location, mopping up, until about 3 p.m., officials said. The cause of the fire was not immediately known.

The Ignoble Lie Victor Davis Hanson THE DAILY CALLER

In a controversial passage in Plato’s “Republic,” Socrates introduced the idea of the “noble lie” (“gennaios pseudos”). A majestic fiction, he says, could sometimes serve society by persuading uninformed citizens of something good for them. Ever since, many prevaricators have used the excuse that they lied for the common good. Take Dr. Anthony Fauci, our point man on the COVID-19 epidemic. Fauci misled the country about mask-wearing during the pandemic by claiming they were of little use. But he argued that he lied so the public would not make a run on masks, deplete the supply, and thus rob medical professionals of protective equipment. Fauci also told “noble” lies about the likely percentage of the public needing to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity. He kept raising the bar from 60% to 70% to 75% to 80%, to 85%. Apparently, Fauci feared a lower figure, even if accurate, might lull people into complacency about getting inoculated. Fauci also lied about his own role in routing U.S. aid money to subsidize gain-of-function viral

research at the Wuhan virology lab, the likely birthplace of COVID-19. Either Fauci was hiding his own culpability, or he believed the American people might not be able to fully accept that some of their own health officials were promoting the sort of research that was partially responsible for more than 700,000 American deaths. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has serially lied about the number of undocumented immigrants who have crossed into the United States. He falsely claimed mounted agents were whipping migrants. He fibbed about the purported lack of federal data of apprehensions, detentions and deportations. His assertion that the border is secure was a joke. Apparently, Mayorkas believes the public would go ballistic or his own administration would be roundly despised, if he told the bitter truth about the border: by intent, the Biden administration has apparently deliberately left it wide-open. And it will likely allow 2 million undocumented immigrants into the country in the current fiscal year. Lots of other unelected federal officials lied over the past five years by claiming or implying that

harming the Trump administration was in the public interest. Former FBI directors Andrew McCabe and James Comey likely misled the nation. McCabe admittedly lied that he did not leak FBI information to the media. James Comey lied under oath on multiple occasions in congressional cross-examinations and claimed he did not know or could not remember basic facts about his own role in promoting the Russian collusion hoax. Apparently, Comey and McCabe believed that by being less than truthful, they might better emasculate Donald Trump. And that result would be beneficial to America. Our former intelligence leaders may have been the most brazen liars. Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper lied to Congress about the National Security Agency surveillance program, though he denied it. When caught in the untruth, Clapper reverted to the noble lie that he gave the least untruthful answer, apparently on the pretense that he did not wish to damage the reputation of an important intelligence agency. Ditto John Brennan, the former head of the CIA. On two occasions he lied under oath about the agency’s monitoring of Senate

staffers’ computers and the deaths of civilians caused by U.S. drone assassination missions along the Afghanistan border. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley lied for days about the details of an accidental drone strike that killed innocent women and children in Afghanistan. Either Milley is now lying when he says he warned Joe Biden about the disasters to come in Afghanistan or Biden is lying when he denies hearing any such advice. Many of the details of Milley’s conversations with authors Bob Woodward and Robert Costa as reported in their recent muckraking book were abjectly denied by Milley. The list of such lies could be vastly expanded. IRS functionary Lois Lerner never told the whole untruth about weaponizing the IRS. Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch spun an implausible yarn that she accidentally bumped into Bill Clinton on a tarmac in Phoenix and never discussed the then-current FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton. Special counsel Robert Mueller told a whopper under oath, claiming to know almost nothing about the Steele dossier and the misadventures of Fusion GPS. Both were the two catalysts that

prompted his entire investigation of “collusion” in the first place. In some of these cases, when caught and exposed, the liars will hedge by claiming temporary amnesia. But sometimes they admit they lied but suggest they did so for higher purposes like national security. In truth, in most cases there was nothing noble at all in their lying. They simply spread untruths to protect their own endangered careers by masking their own wrongdoing or fobbing it onto others. In other words, “noble lies” are rarely spun for anyone’s interests other than those of the liars themselves.

War II. After World War II ended, states were allowed to decide the issue, and in 1949, voters approved Proposition 12, permanently establishing daylight saving time during spring and summer in our state. Measures approved by the voters can only be changed by the voters, and under terms of Proposition 7, California voters asked the Legislature to introduce a bill changing the times and dates of daylight saving time, in compliance with federal laws, and should federal law be changed, to allow

year-round daylight saving time. As a result, Assembly Bill 7 was introduced in 2019 by Assemblyman Kansan Chu (D–San Jose), to authorize permanent year-round daylight saving time. AB 7 required a two-thirds vote and passed the Assembly without opposition, but the Legislature adjourned for the year before the Senate could take action. The following year, session was cut short due to the pandemic, and new legislation was introduced but never came up for a vote.

Similar legislation is likely to be introduced when we re-convene in January, but there is one more hurdle. Federal law allows states to adopt year-round standard time (as in Arizona), but the law does not permit year-round daylight saving time. In March the “Sunshine Protection Act of 2021” was introduced by a bipartisan group of Senators in Washington D.C. If it passes, 2021 could be the last year we have to ‘spring forward and fall back.’ Only time will tell.

What’s the narrow way?

Zachary Elliott SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Way back in the Stone Age, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, people had these things called maps. Of course, these maps were a lot different from the ones on your phone app today. They were printed on folded paper for starters, and when you unfolded it, the map was so large it would cover the entire front windshield. Or at least that’s how it seemed to a little boy who just grabbed one at 7-Eleven with his father for the family road trip to Flintstone Land. And yes, it was a real place. These maps never talked to you and told you how to save three minutes by taking an alternate route because there was traffic. They didn’t tell you where Inn-Out was or how to get to the nearest gas station and they never warned you when there was an accident. You even had to figure out

where north, south, east and west were all on your own. Just about the only thing those maps had in common with the app maps of today is they both have a lot of roads. You learn very quickly that there are many different ways to get to a lot of other places in the world. But that’s not true with God. He makes it very easy for us to find him because there is only one road to get to him. Jesus told us about it when he said, “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few” in Matthew 7:13-14. The way is wide that leads to destruction because it seems that everyone is going that way. It’s the way of sin and everything contrary to God’s word. Many choose that way. The way that leads to life is narrow for two reasons. Jesus is the only way. Jesus made this very clear when he said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” in John 14:6. Sadly, many people ignore the words of Jesus and try to find their own way to God. Jesus’ words are exclusive. He is the door. Jesus drove that home when he said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I

am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly” in John 10:7-10. You can only go through one door at a time. It doesn’t mean that there’s a long single-file line we have to wait in to get to God. What it means is that you and you alone are responsible for your relationship with Jesus. You cannot have a relationship with Jesus on behalf of another person. You are responsible for yourself. As Romans 14:12 says, “each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.” The only thing that the broad road and the narrow road have in common is that you get to choose. You get to choose if you’re going to walk the broad road of sin that leads to destruction. Or you can choose to enter through the narrow gate of Jesus Christ that leads to life. Choose wisely.
