‘It’s our time,’ Wildomar Mayor Dustin Search continues Nigg says at annual State of the City event for missing Regional News

“It’s Our Time,” Wildomar Mayor Dustin Nigg said, encouraging development, business and industry representatives to consider his city as its next location at the Nov. 4 State of City address.

The special event, sponsored in part by the Murrieta Wildomar Chamber of Commerce, brought other nearby city mayors, local business owners and managers, Wildomar staff members, Cal Fire and many other dignitaries from the Inland Empire to hear the achievements in the last year of the newest city in southwest Riverside County. The event was held at Marna O’Brien Park on Palomar Road with food and beverages from Wildomar businesses and services.

Nigg began his address with a video telling some of the history of the Wildomar area and its incorporation in 2008. He lauded the most recent event, the Rooted In Nature Craft Brew Festival that brought 2,200 people to the park and the small business beer manufacturers that gave samples of the craft. He said it is events like the festival that keep the city growing.

“We support small businesses in general,” Nigg said. “We want to

Former Hemet City Councilmember Joe Males is poised to win his bid to regain his District 4 seat in a special election held by the city Nov. 2. Males was vying for reelection to his District 4 seat against Marc Searl, who previously served on the Hemet City Council through 2008.

Males is leading Searl by a narrow margin of 1,300 votes to 1,141, with 600 votes left to count as of press time.

Males, who also served as Mayor

Pro Tem for the city, lost his seat earlier this year after a Riverside County Superior Court Judge ruled his position as a Hemet City Councilmember be annulled in the final judgment on the Graff vs. Males case.

The minute ruling handed down

by Riverside Superior Court Judge Craig Riemer in July stated that Males was not eligible to run for the District 4 seat in the 2020 election because he did not live in the area as of the last filing date see MALES, page A-6

While attendees of the 28th annual Autumn Elegance fundraiser came for the wine and food tasting experience, they also showed up to support the community. All proceeds will benefit the philanthropic efforts of the Hemet-San Jacinto Exchange Club and the Friends of Valley-Wide Foundation.

About 500 hungry guests started arriving before the 6 p.m. start time, mingling with friends and colleagues before having access to about 15 food stops offering a wide array of samples. The event is also a way for local eateries and breweries to share some signature

items to bring awareness to their local businesses.

Held at the Soboba Casino Resort Event Center, the semi-formal event for those 21 and up attracted a lot of regulars but also some newcomers who were greeted with a program, sampler plate and utensils before stopping at the first station that contained pre-assembled mini-charcuterie plates.

Hemet High School Athletic Director David Andersen said he doesn’t think he has missed any of the Autumn Elegance events since the fundraiser began. “The Exchange Club has given so much to our high school students with see FUNDRAISER, page A-8

Thankful to reach Temecula

Rebecca Marshall Farnbach SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Temecula, the native word meaning “place of the sun,” warms many a soul who resides here.

From early times, it has been a place of shelter, warmth and abundance. Long ago, before the entrance of “others,” the native people led a good life with resources of water, acorns and everything needed to sustain the lives of their people.

In 1797, when the first priests from San Luis Rey Mission crested the hills to view the green valley, they, too, recognized the value of the lush, green lands of the Temecula Valley. Within a few years, they founded a mission outpost, they grazed cattle in the pastures and planted grain here.

Later, travelers who struggled across the Colorado Desert lands to the east stumbled into the Temecula Valley where they found small general stores and primitive lodgings where they could gain refreshment from their travels.

Temecula sits at the crossroad between the desert and the coastlands, between the mountains and the flatlands, between San Valley News/Courtesy photos Diego and San Gabriel valleys.

Temecula sat at the crossroad between the desert and the coastlands, between the mountains and the flatlands, between San Diego and San Gabriel valleys. It was a place where people rested before continuing along their journeys to lands beyond.

The road into Temecula from the desert has many names, but it is best known as the Butterfield Overland Stage Road. It has also been called the Fort Yuma Road and the Southern Emigrant Trail.

Until stagecoaches or steam engines came West, there were two ways to reach the Pacific Ocean.

Some folks boarded ships in the Atlantic to sail around the turbulent Cape Horn, to arrive in San Francisco several months later.

Other hardy souls geared up to cross the Great Plains. Those who survived the Plains climbed the Rocky Mountains and arrived in California hungry and bedraggled.

The route that led to Temecula crossed the Colorado River at Yuma, approximately following what is now Interstate 8 and dipped into Mexico to avoid sand dunes that slowed horses and were nearly impassable by wagon wheels. The road turned north at the present town of Ocotillo Wells and proceeded through barren lands until turning westward toward Warner Springs. There in the mountains, travelers found drinkable water.

They washed their tattered clothing and bathed in the hot springs.

They replenished supplies trading

Hemet woman, 19, killed in crash north of San Jacinto City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Riverside County coroner’s office named the 19-year-old woman who died when a pickup truck crashed into a ditch north of San Jacinto Saturday, Nov. 6.

Firefighters from the Riverside County Fire Department responded at 12:16 a.m. to Lambs Canyon and Gilman Springs roads, where they found the truck and the victim, according to the fire department.

The woman, identified as Anahi

Ramirez of Hemet, was pronounced dead at the scene.

It was not known whether there were other injuries.

The California Highway Patrol was investigating the crash, the fire department said.

Following what is now Highway 79 South, travelers crossed to the south side of the Temecula Creek and found an adobe where Pablo Apis ran a general store and hostelry.

with native people and a few other enterprising merchants. In Warner Springs, they met other travelers and learned about conditions on the next stages of their journeys.

Although Warner Springs provided sojourners relief from desert heat, replenishment of water and food and access to wagon repair, it was just a stopping place and not a destination. They still faced travel through the mountains until they would enter the Temecula Valley.

Starting on a misty morning, travelers would head westward again along a well beaten trail until they crested a series of lowering hills and spotted a valley with streams and a small village. Following what is now Highway 79 South, they crossed to the south side of the Temecula Creek and found an adobe where Pablo Apis ran a general store and hostelry.

Finding a good lodging for a night and more supplies than were available anywhere else along the trail, a traveler to Temecula knew they had arrived toward the end of their journey. Whether they decided to turn south to San Diego or north toward San Gabriel or beyond to San Francisco, arriving in Temecula meant they had faced the dangers of the journey and would arrive safely to their destination.

Many a thankful heart rested in Apis’ hostel after extinguishing a lantern by the side of the bed.

Many people have grappled with difficult circumstances on their life journeys to find homes in Temecula where they have found a place of peace, safety and abundance. Some arrive here with plans to move farther along, but many people have reached a place where they want to settle and stay.

I am one who is thankful to find a beautiful place with abundant warmth, greenery, food, water and a place settled by good people, where I feel safe.

As we enter into a season of the year when we reflect upon our bounty with gratitude, I am thankful to be in “the place of the sun” with you, my fellow travelers.

Street speed changes loom after latest citywide traffic study in Menifee

Cal Fire and Menifee Division fire Chief Lonny Olson provides the Menifee City Council with a three-month service update at the Nov. 3 Valley News/Tony Ault photos Menifee City Council meet.

Menifee Mayor Bill Zimmerman with the city council presents the city’s Business Spotlight award to Gracie’s Lunchbox owners at the Nov. 3 council meeting. The Lunchbox at 28089 Bradley Road has been active in providing many nonprofit agencies with their baked goods to help with fundraisers in the city.

Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The Menifee City Council addressed recommended speed limit changes on major streets in the city and tentatively approved a first ever citywide master drainage plan in the event of major rainstorms during its Wednesday, Nov.3 meeting at city hall.

The speed limit changes followed a recent traffic survey made on most of the streets in the city by a traffic study firm. The study was revealed for the first time before the city council with an excused absence from Councilmember Bob Karwin.

The study presented by STC Traffic consultants, provided the council with its recommended speed limit changes based upon the collected speed data, a field review of roadway conditions, adjacent land uses and accident history provided by the police department. The STC survey showed 114 segments of roadways with 21 recommended for speed limit increases and 14 locations for speed limit decreases.

The remainder of the segments would not require any changes.

The updated speed zone surveys, mandated by the state, was done on a rotating basis with the the first one in Menifee made in 2013 and a supplemental survey in 2017 to address the growing traffic conditions. A new official citywide speed survey was conducted in 2020 as required per the CVC that included new street segments constructed since the 2017 survey. A new state law, Assembly Bill 43, went into effect last month giving cities greater flexibility in setting speed limits by allowing the consideration of the presence of vulnerable groups, including children, seniors, the unhoused, users of personal assistive mobility devices and persons with disabilities.

The latest survey presented to the council will allow for some changes to the proposed new speed limits in a second reading of the recommendations. There were questions from the council raised about the recommended speed limits in the largely senior community of Sun City whose residents often rely on golf carts to go to stores and services. Staff, following the presentation, allowing for some changes to the speed limits by AB 43, may still see changes in speeds recommended in the survey.

The proposed speed decreases on Antelope Road from Mapes Road to Watson Road and from Abergate between Newport and Holland roads from 45 to 40 mph. They also include Bradley Road from McCall Boulevard to Cherry Hills Boulevard decreased from 35 to 30, and Encanto Drive from McCall Boulevard to south Terminus down from 35 to 30; Holland Road from Murrieta Road to Bradley Road and from Bradley Road to Haun Road decreased from 50 to 45 mph.

Also, Lindenberger Road from Scott Road to South Terminus Road, a decrease from 40 to 30 mph.; Mapes Road from Menifee Road to Briggs Road decreased from 50 to 45 mph.; Menifee Road from Simpson Road to Aldergate Drive decreased from 55 to 50 mph.; Murrieta Road from Cherry Hills Boulevard to Ridgemoor Road down from 45 to 35 mph.; Normandy Road from Audie Murphy Road to Berea Road decreased

from 55 to 50 mph.; Palomar Road from State Route 74 to Matthews Road decreasing from 45 to 40 mph.; Rockport Road from Menifee Road to SR-74 decreasing 0from 40 to 35 mph. and Sherman Road from Mapes to SR-74 down from 45 to 40 mph.

With some decrease, there were the 21 roads increasing anywhere from 25 to a maximum high of 50 mph. Most roads in the city will remain at the same recommended speed limits.

Chief Pat Walsh in recent meetings with the council and community members emphasized he has more motorcycle police and traffic cars on the road to remind motorists to keep their speeds down and reduce a growth of accidents in the community.

The traffic survey results and the proposed traffic speed increases and decreases can be found in detail on the city’s website and in the Nov. 3 city council meeting packet. The council after making its final decision will have the community services and public works department place new speed signs up with a 30-day grace period for the changes made. Motorists were urged to obey all the speed signs.

Citywide Drainage Plan The city, for the first time, heard a proposed Citywide Master Drainage Plan drafted by Rick Engineering that showed current drainage facilities, where flooding is, or will take place during major rainstorms and a 100-year-flood. The engineers forwarded their ideas for future drainage projects, some that

are already planned for the next five years in the recently approved capital improvement project to be completed in the next five years.

The plan was approved by a 4-0 vote.

Redistricting review The council also was introduced to the recent census survey that will be used to help determine how it will bring required redistricting in the four city council election districts. Bear Demographics presented the results of the current census that included the number of residents moving into new neighborhoods in the past 10 years, their average incomes, educational level and other data. The final redistricting decision will follow a number of public workshops allowing residents to help determine where the district should be located with the proper number of people. In redistricting the city’s population must be equal in each district. The city of Menifee at the time of the last census day totaled 102,795 residents according to the survey.

Divided equally, each district should have approximately 25,700 residents.

Bear Demographics, based on their estimates, noted that the city’s District 1 gained almost 5,000 residents, District 2 lost about 2600 residents, while District 4 gained about 1,600 people.

District 3, however, was where it should be at about 25,700 residents. Those attending what workshops will provide their own views on where the district boundaries should be.

Mayor Pro Tem Lesa Sobek said the city last learned it had 105,000 people in the most recent census count, which could change the demographics presented.

Politically it could change their representation in the county, state and federal governments.

The public workshops to help determine the district boundaries will be open to the public Monday, Dec. 13, in the Menifee Library at 4 p.m.; Wednesday, Jan. 12, at the Kay Ceniceros Senior Center at 9 a.m. and Saturday, Jan. 29, at the Marion V. Ashley Community Center at 10 a.m.

San Jacinto City Council approves more funding for needed slurry seal and street overlays Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The San Jacinto City Council approved additional funding for a series of needed slurry seal, grind and overlay on city streets and discussed new state mandated solid waste disposal requirements coming in 2022 at its Tuesday, Nov. 2, meeting.

The slurry seal, grind and overlay projects that will improve deteriorating city streets originally were budgeted in the city’s capital improvement project budget totalled $1,672, 000 but the city works determined more work was needed and requested the council approve another $560,250 that would come from Measure A and gas tax money available, bringing the total for the projects that are slated to begin Nov. 17 and going forward into early 2022 to the cost of $2,338,962.

The full council, including newly appointed council member Michael Heath, voted to approve the request. Included in the extensive highway slurry seal, grind and overlay projects are portions of Idyllwild Drive, Lyon Avenue, WILDOMAR from page A-1 make it as easy as we can.” Looking at attending business representatives at the back of the tent enclosure he said, “As easy as we can, we are going to do business here. We really care about our

Palm Avenue, Main and 7th Street, Vernon Avenue, 2nd Street, Mead Street, Shaver Street, Arroyo Viejo Drive, Park Avenue, Villines Avenue, Meridian Street and San Jacinto Avenue.

Also included were the streets off Soboba Drive including Messina and Carrera Drives, Bergamo, Verona and Torino Avenues: Kirby Street and State Street.

The projects vary in the work needed, depending on the conditions of the roadway. Some may require simple slurry seal while others may need to be ground down and overlaid with new materials.

City engineer Stuart McKibbin and city manager Rob Johnson promised the council that all the residents living on the planned slurry and seal streets would be given advance notice of the improvements well before the work begins and not to park in the construction zones.

The council also discussed Senate Bill 1383 Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Act that in the next few years will require residents to separate their food wastes from all other trash wastes into separate containers in the state’s

efforts to reduce methane gases coming from dumps.

The council heard the cost of providing the extra containers for the food wastes would not be borne by the city but be a part of the requirements for waste disposal coming from the city’s contracted waste hauler CR&R. City and CR&R proactive The council learned from Chief of Public Utilities Arthur Millen that because the city and CR&R have been very proactive, the majority of businesses in the city of San Jacinto already have an organic waste recycling program in place, resulting in little to no changes for most businesses and residents. CR&R may be in contact, however, with those living in multifamily or apartment residences to provide special containers for the disposal of food waste.

Under the Senate Bill, the city must adopt an ordinance that will follow the food waste disposal program and work with CR&R to enforce the regulations. CR&R is already working with the local restaurants, food outlets and some residents to be sure they are in compliance with the new regula-

tions and inform other residents of the ordinance that will go into effect Jan. 1, 2022.

The passage of the new ordinance has no current or projected cost increases on residents because of the franchise agreement with CR&R that only permits rate increases based on a change in the Produce Price Index and CR&R is not authorized to increase the rates beyond the inflation-based annual adjustment.

TUMF fees increase In other business the council approved a 3% increase across the board for the Western Riverside Council of Governments TUMF or Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fees. The fees are collected from developers or builders of new homes in residential communities that are used to help cities in WRCOG, including San Jacinto, to build new or improve roads and bridges, freeway interchanges of major significance. The TUMF fees come from Developer Impact Fees that are based upon the number of new residential, commercial and industrial projects planned or underway.

The cost is passed on through an

addition to the final cost of buying a new home and the square footage of the retail, service or industrial buildings. Under the cost increase the TUMF fee in San Jacinto would be $10,104 for a single family home, $6,580 for a multi-family residential unit, $7.72 per square foot for a retail establishment, $4.84 a square foot for a service facility and $1.82 square foot for an industrial building. The TUMF cost increases have not been made for many years, according to WRCOG, and have found no arguments from developers.

The city would bear no fiscal impact from the TUMF fee increases.

The city of San Jacinto holds its regular city council meetings on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month beginning at 6:30 p.m. Since many of the COVID-19 rules have been reduced, they are resuming their meetings in the Community Hall at 625 S. Pico Ave. in San Jacinto. The meetings are broadcast on Vimeo and the city website live, where residents can still call in or participate with their comments.

small businesses.”

Showing that the city cares about its residents he brought resident Jenny Dickerson, active with city committees, and a singer who sang a song she wrote about the city of Wildomar that brought cheers and rounds of applause.

“Our police services are up.

Our code enforcement is up,” he continued, showing a video of the local public safety services supported by Wildomar’s Measure A funds. Nigg praised the work of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department contracted by the city for

their service to the community and the services of Cal Fire. He cited the residents who formed cleanup groups that continue to keep the streets and vacant land areas pristine, led by fellow council member Bridgette Moore.

Nigg pointed to the Social Work Action Group of Wildomar and Lake Elsinore, its neighboring city, in helping the city reduce and help its homeless population.

He focused on what he called the “fun part,” telling of what is coming to the city including a major Indoor Gun Range and the construction of a much larger Inland Valley Medical Center with ground being broken in about six months.

A video of the opportunities the city has to offer to residential, commercial, retail and industrial companies on large tracts of open land ripe for development. “There is so much opportunity,” the video and Nigg explained.

A Wildomar quality of life video

followed with explanations of the Bundy Canyon widening project to improve the city’s traffic flows, the hospital’s current and future helping the residents’ health and better horse and bike trails, “Life is good in Wildomar,” the video offered. “It’s Our Time” the video concluded, Nigg’s theme for the 2021 State of the City Address.

He concluded with a video of all the city employees at work saying, “It’s Our Time.”

With the major presentation over, the attendees were treated to the rock and roll music of Kanan Road.

Catering and serving refreshments were Angelo’s Brick Oven Pizzeria, DeJong’s Dairy, Garage Brewing Co., Jersey Mike’s Subs, Montague Brothers Coffee, New Life Culinary Creations, Stadium Pizza, The Hive Grill, Quiroz Tacos and Rotary International.

Strategic Plan for the Hemet Community. The plan will help shape the future goals and hopes for the city of Hemet.

Referencing the creation of the Strategic Plan she said the remainder of the evening would be devoted to bringing those she saw as helping to forward the goals and ideals of the city. She brought up to the front many local residents, business owners, managers, nonprofit organizations and for-profit organizations to receive plaques and awards for their outstanding achievements who were deemed “Gems of the Valley,” the theme of the event. The certificates and awards were presented by her, as mayor, and the three attending city councilmembers, Mayor Pro Tem Malcolm Lilienthal, Russ Brown and Linda Krupa.

A highlight of the event came at the very end when the first to receive a recognition certificate as a Gem of the Valley, Preston Christiansen from Tahquitz High School and a member of band, was named the Grand Marshal of the upcoming Hemet Christmas Parade. Christiansen, Meyer said, is an outstanding student who for years has fought a very rare form of cancer yet retains his goal to one day become a registered nurse and is a leader to his classmates. She said he was a Gem of the Valley and hoped those in the audience would encourage him on his way to the future.

Murrieta selects Gagliano Warren as Automotive license councilmember for 5th District plate readers come to Kim Harris Murrieta MANAGING EDITOR During a Nov. 8 special called meeting of Murrieta City Council, Cindy Gagliano Warren was selected by council to serve residents in the city’s 5th District to replace Mayor Scott Vinton who is leaving the council due to his family’s planned move to Tennessee.

Vinton, who served just shy of one term on the council, submitted his letter of resignation Aug. 31, a press release issued by the city said. He was appointed Murrieta’s mayor this year and will step down as mayor Dec. 21.

“It is with a heavy heart that I have made the personal choice to step down from my elected position as council member for District 5,” Vinton wrote in his resignation.

“Although it was my full intention to serve my entire four-year term, my wife and I have made a life decision to relocate to Tennessee to build our forever home. Many circumstances over the last 18 months have led us to move our original date of spring 2023 to the end of 2021.”

Council voted unanimously to appoint Gagliano Warren to Vinton’s seat.

Gagliano Warren, who is a business owner and member of the City of Murrieta Traffic Commission, said she wants to serve residents of the city because she wants to be a part of “the vision, success and growth of Murrieta.”

“I want to be a part of the leadership of the city and continue to foster growth in a city that is a safe place to raise a family, a community that welcomes small,

Off-Road motorcyclist killed at Lake Elsinore Motocross Park City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

An off-road motorcycle rider died in an accident at the Lake Elsinore Motocross Park Sunday, Nov. 7.

The death was reported at 12:10 p.m. in the 31900 block of Cereal Street, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.

The victim suffered traumatic injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene, fire officials said.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department was investigating the death.

No further information was immediately available.

The City of Murrieta and the Murrieta Police Department plan to install license-plate recognition cameras throughout the community. The LPRS are already installed in various communities throughout California including many in Riverside County. Police Chief Anthony Conrad gave a presentation and explained how his officers plan to work with other cities to stitch together a surveillance network using the program at the Nov. 2 city council meeting.

The crime-fighting technology allows for the automated detection of license plates. It is used by the Murrieta Police Department to convert data associated with vehicle license plates for official law enforcement purposes, including identifying stolen or wanted vehicles, stolen license plates and missing persons. It may also be used to gather information related to active warrants, homeland security, electronic surveillance, suspect interdiction and stolen property recovery.

“Seventy percent of our (city) crimes involve vehicles,” Conrad said. “The readers can be a force in our investigations.” The Murrieta Police Department plans to use cameras by Flock LLC. The expense for the equipment was already earmarked in the department’s budget.

“Flock has been very successful.

More than 100 cities nationwide are using the cameras,” Conrad said. “Menifee has 26, Corona has 28, Hemet has 20, Temecula is installing 50 and the County Supervisors approved another 200 Flock cameras.” The advanced technology can capture the image of every license plate that drives down a road.

The equipment will be owned, operated and maintained by Flock LLC. The data collected will be owned by the Murrieta Police Department where data is maintained for 30 days before being deleted.

Legislator Scott Weiner who wrote Senate Bill 210, prefers the data to be saved for only 24 hours but that bill has been momentarily tabled. Police chiefs across the state are fighting for 30 days according to Conrad.

“We expect SB 210 to come back. We think 30 days is a good compromise and we get a lot of bang for our buck with 30 days of saved data,” Conrad said. The police chief ensured the city council that the cameras would not be engaged in facial recognition.

Councilmember Jonathon Ingram said, “I am very comfortable with the program. I think it offers a great deal more than finding stolen cars.”

Conrad said the Flock system can also be used during Amber and Silver Alerts.

LOCAL FUNDRAISER from page A-1 awards and recognition,” he said.

“We are very thankful for them and for this event.”

Jeff VanZee, a teacher at Dartmouth Middle School in Hemet, was attending for the first time. “I grew up in Idyllwild but I’ve lived in the valley since 1986,” he said.

“This is a great thing for the valley and the setup in here is beautiful.

The contributions that Soboba makes to our valley is enormous.”

The food and drink stations, as well as an area to play table games sponsored by Soboba Casino Resort, were arranged around the perimeter of the Event Center while Mr. Wilson’s Band played popular music selections and encouraged guests to take advantage of the large dance floor that was set up in front of their stage. Guests could sit at tables for up to eight people or stand at the tall tables that dotted the food stations for those that wanted to eat, chat and move on to the next selection.

Restaurants were grateful for the opportunity to highlight their cuisine after having suffered during the recent shutdowns. It was a great opportunity to let the community know they are still around and still offering unique dishes.

Rodolfo’s Cucina Italiana featured

cavatappi with chicken piccata sauce, Frybread Kitchen offered a taste of Indian tacos, pork egg rolls and pancit noodles were sampled at the Hemet Asian Market station and El Ojo de Agua offered Mexican drinks of the day for those that didn’t partake of the beers, wine or cocktails that were available.

Dan Thompson, with Davis & Wojcik law firm in Hemet and Temecula, said he has been at the event at least five times and said it is one of his favorite events. “I love sampling the food,” he said.

San Jacinto Unified School District Superintendent Dave Pyle and his wife Jen were enjoying the event.

“What a great way to celebrate the community,” he said.

Troy Brown of Hemet said he thinks the first Autumn Elegance he attended was in 2003, when it was held at the Hemet Valley Mall.

He praised the burritos and flautas offered by El Patron Mexican Grill & Entertainment and the desserts from Lowe’s Cupcake Corner and Bakery and Soboba Pastry.

He said he was “really pleased with the Fairway Café” which offered roasted cauliflower bisque, spinach and strawberry salad and cherry-braised short ribs. “The beer selection is excellent,” Brown said.

“There is nothing else like this,” he said. “It sets up the holiday season by putting everyone in a good mood.”

Hemet-San Jacinto Exchange Club President Tom Wilson said, “We are overwhelmed with so many local restaurants stepping up to support this event. We ended up with a great variety of restaurants, even after the difficult year they had, so we are extremely grateful and happy we get to benefit local charities while at the same time supporting our local cuisine.”

Proceeds from Autumn Elegance go to the Hemet-San Jacinto Exchange Club and the Friends of Valley-Wide Foundation, who in turn support other local nonprofits as well as their own programs.

“We thank all the restaurants, wineries and sponsors as well as the Soboba Foundation and Soboba Casino Resort, which provide funding, the beautiful facilities and planning support,” Wilson said.

The 53rd annual Exchange Club Book of Golden Deeds will be held Dec. 2 at the Soboba Casino Resort Center. The Christmas dinner event will honor the Domenigoni family.

The Friends of Valley-Wide Foundation President Cindy Domenigoni said having the event return this year after the pandemic interfered with it being held in 2020 was amazing. “This is one of

our best fundraisers and it’s a good time for the community to come together and support the great work that Valley-Wide does for our valley,” she said. “This is a great venue and we are very appreciative of everything Soboba does for us.”

The Foundation supports Valley-Wide Recreation and Park District’s belief that all children deserve the opportunity to participate in Valley-Wide’s sports programs and recreational activities.

The District’s General Manager Dean Wetter said the most difficult part about not holding the fundraiser last year was not being able to serve the community in the way they are used to doing. But he said during the time that parks were closed to the public, it gave them the opportunity to make sure all parks were in tip-top shape.

“Now more people are coming to the parks to exercise and they’ve become a social meeting place,” Wetter said. “And all of our youth programs are going great.”

Another major Valley-Wide fundraiser, The Weekend, is on track for March 2022 and the annual Christmas Tree Lighting at its Regional Park in San Jacinto is scheduled to return Friday, Dec. 3 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

“Not having Autumn Elegance last year put us behind but we are making up for it tonight,” Wetter said. “This tells me that our community is healing and focusing its energy on the youth. It’s a wonderful thing to be part of.”

We create the WOW factor for our patients, offering nearly every dental procedure in-house.

ENTERTAINMENT

Discover the mavericks and makers behind fall foods, drinks, entertainment and events in Temecula Valley Annette Brown VISIT TEMECULA VALLEY

Plan a visit to Temecula Valley Southern California Wine Country for food, wine, entertainment and unique harvest-themed activities during the changing of colors on the vines. The Mavericks and Makers behind fall events and activities bring the season to life in Temecula Valley. Visitors are encouraged to extend their stay around these fall events to get the most out of the experience.

Drink and food Several wines that pair nicely with the fall season suggested by local experts include Bel Vino Winery Late Harvest Blanc.

“What better way to experience fall than with a late-harvested, intensely flavorful and aromatic Late Harvest Blanc,” says Mike Janko from Bel Vino Winery.

“The relatively high sugar levels balanced by bright acidity make it great for sipping or to be enjoyed as a dessert wine.”

Grapes harvested later in the season have a chance to develop rich, ripe aromas and accumulate high sugar levels. When pressed and vinified the resulting wines are lusciously sweet and make a stellar pairing for salty cheeses and dessert courses.

“Around this time of year, I’ll often reach for a white wine with a little more weight to it, our Leoness Viognier being a favorite,” says Leoness Cellars Executive Director, Spencer Szczygiel.

He explains that the Viognier’s stone fruit and spice notes pair exceptionally well with heartier fall salads like peppery greens with apple, blue cheese, nuts and grilled chicken.

Craft beers are not to be overlooked when in Temecula Valley.

Here are a few great beers to cheers to this season. Iron Fire Brewing Company offers a 6

Killer Stout, which is a hazelnut coffee stout with 6% ABV and 60 IBU. Pumpkin Patch is a seasonal offering at Refuge Brewery. This popular Belgian style Saison is brewed with real pumpkin, pumpkin spices and aged on charred whiskey staves. A Stone Church recommendation is their Redemption Red. This American Amber has a moderate malt flavor with a slight sweet finish and a hint of chocolate. Coppery brown in color the aroma is accentuated by Amarillo, Cascade and Centennial hops. Also, Batch Mead’s bestselling pie series launched Oct. 16.

Their sweet Mead’s pie themes are blueberry pie, peach pie, apple pie, strawberry rhubarb pie and pumpkin pie.

Nearly five years ago a couple, Ricky and Kim Leigh with an already successful gastropub in Temecula decided to expand by opening a restaurant that put fun and adventure on the breakfast menu. Toast Temecula is a family affair, all the furniture was built by the owners, the paintings on the walls were done by staff members, and the concept and idea evolved from the Leighs. Ricky is also the head chef creating appetizing fall foods like Apple Pie French Toast and Smoked Veggie Benedict, which is a potato cake, poached eggs, smoked red bell pepper, asparagus, snap peas, alfalfa sprouts topped with classic hollandaise sauce. Both can be accompanied with a flight of bacon and washed down with an Espresso Martini or a Mimosa Flight.

Chef Matthew Steffen at Cork|Fire Kitchen will be making fall pies this season with pumpkins he has been growing in the garden at Temecula Creek Inn. Chef’s passion for food grew from his first job in a kitchen at age 15. After serving in the Navy, he returned to the industry as a prep cook and his talent led him up the ranks and landed him as executive

chef at Temecula Creek Inn. By age 24, Chef Nick Talls had worked his way up to head chef of a fine dining restaurant. He later worked five years in Hong Kong and Macau, working three years as sous chef of a two Michelin star French restaurant. After moving back to the United States and gaining more experience at acclaimed restaurants, executive chef brought his 20-plus years of experience and passion for beer and breadmaking to Oscars Brewing Company. Their sharable seasonal menu includes favorites like Cheese Stuffed Plantain Fritters with melon gazpacho, fresh herbs pineapple, red onion and chili oil; and Pork Belly and Peach Roasted Potato Pizza with Shisto peppers, chili oil, tomato sauce, aged mozzarella and smoke scamorza cheese.

Holiday travelers can enjoy a Thanksgiving feast in Temecula Valley. Whether you’re celebrating Friendsgiving or Thanksgiving with friends and family, Temecula Valley makes for a stress-free holiday getaway. Restaurants offering a Thanksgiving meal for dine-in and/or to go are Cork|Fire Kitchen, E.A.T. Marketplace, The Gambling Cowboy, The Vineyard Rose, and Pechanga Resort Casino at Great Oak Steakhouse, 1882 Cantina, Kelsey’s, Journey’s End, Paisano’s and Pechanga Café.

Entertainment The Old Town Temecula Community Theater began as a community effort to preserve a historic mercantile building and build a new theater that would grow its emerging arts and culture movement. This venue now entertains nearly 1 million visitors since opening in 2005 with world-class accessible performing and visual art performances. The Merc is a club-style 48-seat space while the proscenium theater seats 354.

The residents that raised funds

and volunteered numerous hours proudly invite visitors to watch the performances and enjoy the arts.

Backhausdance, formed in 2003

by Jennifer Backhaus, is known for its lush movement vocabulary and ensemble aesthetic. Featuring deeply human and emotional creations that are infused with a sense of humor and theatricality, Backhausdance is the recipient of 10 Lester Horton Awards from Dance Resource Center of Los Angeles for achievements in choreography, design and performance, helping propel them to the forefront of Southern California’s contemporary dance scene. Grounded in an eclectic and dynamic vocabulary with a wonderful sense of fluidity and strength, the company’s repertory includes powerful, athletic dances, emotionally charged dramatic pieces, and whimsical, humorous glimpses at the human experience. They will also perform at Old Town Temecula Community Theater Nov. 20.

Events Peltzer Farms The Peltzer Family agricultural roots go back to the early 1900s when they were farming wheat in Kansas. Later, in 1954 Grandpa Peltzer sold his 20-acre citrus farm in Anaheim to Walt Disney. He then started Peltzer Pines and 33 years later started Peltzer Pumpkin Farm. In 2002, they purchased an abandoned Christmas tree lot to move their pumpkin farm to Temecula Valley. Today they celebrate their 25th anniversary of the farm and five years of Peltzer Winery, adjacent to the farm.

Peltzer’s annual ice rink opens Nov. 15. It was always owners Charlie and Carrie Peltzer’s vision to provide agri-tainment and they are doing just that.

Ralph Love Plein Air Festival Ralph Love was a painter of the West. He was a lifetime member of the Society of Western Artists.

For many years, he taught as well as painted. On rainy days, the class would meet in the old Art Shack in Temecula, which Love opened in the mid-1950s. It was from his Art Shack that his work received national recognition. In 2005, the Temecula Historical Society installed and dedicated a bronze plaque on the old Art Shack site.

Ralph Love Plein Air Festival celebrates the artistic heritage of Temecula Valley with an outdoor painting and art competition.

This year artists chose to paint at one of three locations: Old Town Temecula, Temecula Valley Wine Country or one of Temecula Parks.

Entries will be on display in The Gallery at The Merc now through Nov. 28. A public reception with live music and refreshments will be held in The Merc Nov. 12, at 5 p.m. Competition awards will be announced at the reception.

Visit Temecula Valley asks visitors to travel responsibly and kindly.

America Recycles Day is Nov. 15 Diane A. Rhodes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

In recent years, Americans have become more conscious of the importance of recycling, not only to try and keep the oceans and waterways clean but to make sure the landfills don’t get too full. There is also an advantage of recycling aluminum cans and plastic bottles, cash upon redemption. Since 1997, Nov. 15 has been designated as America Recycles Day, also known as National Recycling Day. CR&R, one of the area’s environmental service companies, started offering recycling bins to its customers about 30 years ago. With its Riverside division offices in Perris, the company serves the local cities of Canyon Lake, Hemet, Lake Elsinore, San Jacinto, Temecula, Wildomar and parts of unincorporated Riverside County. CR&R has approximately 1,800 trucks and 2,200 employees.

“Residents, and especially kids, are doing their part to recycle by segregating their recyclables and their yard and food waste in large numbers,” Senior Sustainability Specialist Ignacio Valdivia said.

“Residents have also become more focused on protecting the environment.”

Waste Management of the Inland Empire, headquartered in Moreno Valley, has local customers in Homeland, Menifee, Murrieta, Romoland, Temescal Valley, Wildomar, Winchester and other unincorporated Riverside County communities. It also started providing customers with recycling bins more than 30 years ago.

“During the beginning of the pandemic, we saw an increase in recycling participation from our communities, including an increase of plastic bottles and aluminum,” Mary Hartley, Communications Specialist for Waste Management of Southern California, said. “However, we are still seeing customers who are ‘wishcycling.’ We’d like to remind customers that items such as water hoses, copper cables and textiles

can wrap around our equipment causing a delay in processing and putting our employees in harm’s way.”

Coincidentally, Cash 4 Cans in San Jacinto will celebrate its eighth year of business on America Recycles Day. Owner Ed Contreras has seen an uptake in customers trading their CRV beverage containers made of aluminum cans, plastic bottles and glass for money. Each month, he and his four employees process about 25,000 pounds of aluminum cans, 45,000 pounds of glass and 45,000 pounds of plastic. He said amounts are 10-15% lower during the winter as people consume less during colder days.

“Money does play a big part in motivating people to recycle but more and more are now having the ideology that some items simply don’t belong in the trash,” Contreras said. “We’ve been seeing an increase of medium income households come to recycle. This is great because the younger generation are being taught the proper way to dispose of certain items.

Without the recycling program all these containers would end up in a landfill or even worse, on our streets.”

Valdivia said one of the top takeaways from CR&R’s recycling audits is to remind customers not to contaminate recyclables or yard waste containers with anything other than what is meant for those containers. “Please do not dispose of your batteries in your recycling nor your trash can. Batteries are considered household hazardous waste and there are specific spots through your city or county where you’re able to dispose of them properly free of charge,” he said.

“When batteries are tossed in our containers, they can cause truck and eventually facility fires.”

He added that often cardboard and aluminum cans are found in refuse bins when they could and should be put into a recycling bin.

Hartley said Waste Management customers often do the same, adding that paper and bottles are also

found and should be recycled, as long as they are empty and dry.

The recycling items that are collected by CR&R go to its Perris station, where everything from transporting, sorting and marketing the material takes place to ensure that the material is property recycled or re-used. Hartley said most of the recycling material collected in WM’s service areas is transported to its regional recycling facility in Azusa, which processes more than 6,800,000 pounds of material a month.

“The recyclable material is processed, sorted using manual labor to remove trash and large items, then diverted through various computerized sorting machines to help separate the material into various recycling commodities,” she said. “Each clean commodity is then baled and transported to market.”

Both companies regularly have a presence at community events to promote recycling, offer helpful information and answer questions consumers may have. Hartley said, “To us, every day is America Recycles Day. Our teams celebrate recycling throughout the year by attending community events and hosting recycling education booths. In many of our cities, we partner with the city to recognize a family and a business entity who have done a great job recycling throughout the year by inviting them to attend a council meeting to present them with a ‘Recycling All Stars’ award for their great recycling efforts.”

Hartley added that WM customers are encouraged to follow the three rules of recycling: Recycle clean bottles, cans, paper and cardboard; Keep food and liquid out

Waste Management of the Inland Empire incorporates machinery and manual labor into its recycling process after pickups have been made from its customers.

of recycling; Do not place loose plastic bags or bagged recyclables in recycling containers. “We encourage residents to visit wm.com/ recycleright for more recycling resources,” she said.

Aside from recycling household and commercial items, CR&R launched its state-of-the-art Anaerobic Digestion project in 2018 at its Perris facility to recycle “today’s waste into tomorrow’s energy” through organics, which is green waste and food waste combined. For more information, crrwasteservices.com/sustainability/anaerobic-digestion.

“With this project, residents can take their green container where they already throw their green waste and now dispose of any leftover food waste, such as eggshells, banana peels, etc. Now the green container is called an ‘organics container.’ The organics material then comes to our AD and gets processed and once the process

is over that organic material will produce clean renewable natural gas that powers our trucks. We also produce a high-grade compost material,” Valdivia said. “We live in a world of scarce resources. I encourage everyone to continue to recycle in whatever way is best for you. I know if we all work together, we will help make our world a better place.”

Hartley said, “Every time you choose to recycle, you are giving that item a second life to serve a new purpose and save natural resources. Now more than ever it’s important that only the right items, free from contamination, make their way into your recycling bin to help keep recycling, and our shared planet, sustainable.”

Joe Naiman WRITER

The Eastern Municipal Water District approved the third phase of EMWD’s Recycled Water Accelerated Retrofit Program.

A 5-0 EMWD board vote Thursday, Nov. 4, approved Phase III of the program, appropriated $2,500,000 to fund the implementation of the program, authorized EMWD general manager Joe Mouawad or his designee to execute funding agreements of up to $250,000 and authorized Mouawad or his designee to execute the necessary contracts.

Eastern created the Recycled Water Accelerated Retrofit Program in 2016 as an opportunity to assist customers such as parks and schools which are adjacent to recycled water infrastructure but are still using potable water. Although

the customers rather than the district are financially responsible for the connecting infrastructure, the cost is incorporated into the customers’ water rates until the expense is paid off. Eastern provides the up-front funding of the infrastructure extension; the initial rate for those customers is higher than the standard recycled water rate but lower than the potable water rate. The capital costs are typically paid off in eight years, after which the customer receives the standard recycled water rate. Eastern provides the lead on planning, permitting, and design matters for the retrofits. The customers provide in-kind services such as construction drawings of existing facilities and coordination assistance for the on-site work.

Phase I converted 24 sites to recycled water. Those customers included the Valley-Wide Recreation and Park District, the Menifee Union School District, the Hemet Unified School District, the city of Hemet, the city of San Jacinto, Mount San Jacinto Community College, the Oasis Community Homeowners Association and the Menifee Valley Medical Center. Recycled flow for all of the Phase I sites began during 2016. Phase II converted 21 sites and also incorporated turf

conversion. The sites converted to date have reduced annual potable water demand by approximately 1,200 acre-feet. One acre-foot of potable water provides the annual needs of approximately 2 1/2 households, so the program has reduced potable water demand by approximately 3,000 households.

Phase III will have some modifications from the previous phases, although the eligibility criteria was not changed. The maximum funding was increased from $5,000 to $7,500 per acre-foot and the repayment term was increased from eight to 10 years.

The criteria includes being adjacent or in proximity to an existing recycled water pipeline, being a current EMWD potable water landscape customer and a willingness to complete a retrofit on an accelerated timeline.

Retrofit sites totaling approximately 450 acre-feet annually have been identified for Phase III. Those include the Valley-Wide Recreation and Park District, the cities of Menifee and Moreno Valley, and the Hemet, Murrieta, Temecula, Romoland, and Moreno Valley school districts.

Blood glucose is the body’s main source of energy and comes from the food that is eaten. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps glucose from food get into the cells to be used for energy. This year’s focus is on prediabetes and preventing diabetes and the 2021 campaign is “Small Steps, Big Difference.”

Jim Diaz’ wife surprised him with a 23andMe DNA kit eight months ago, thinking that the health report it included would be essential to him. And it was.

After learning he had an increased likelihood of developing Type 2 diabetes, he was motivated to make healthier lifestyle changes.

Diaz has three children, nine grandchildren and four siblings

and none of them are diabetic. The 64-year-old has lived in Temecula since 1967, when the population was a mere 200 people.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 1 in 3 adults in the United States have prediabetes and the majority of those people don’t know they have it. Type 2 diabetes can be prevented or even reversed by making small healthy lifestyle changes, which is what Diaz has been doing.

“After I received my potential health risk information from 23andMe, I did my own research and I told my doctor about it during my last physical,” Diaz said.

He was not experiencing any symptoms of Type 2 diabetes and tests done by his doctor showed no signs of the disease. Nonetheless, Diaz remained motivated to make some lifestyle changes, especially in his diet which is now gluten-free and dairy-free.

“I’ve also changed my eating

habits, such as portion control, eating smaller amounts more frequently, not eating anything after 6 p.m., and making water my main source of liquids throughout my day,” Diaz said. “Even though I’m not overweight, I have lost a few pounds and have kept it off without any effort. My next step that I am starting to work on is removing most sugars from my diet.”

He also committed himself to be more consistent with daily exercise.

“I have a recumbent bike that I ride five days a week for 6 to 10 miles, depending on my schedule that day,” Diaz said. “I also walk at least a mile, sometimes two, four to five days a week.”

Another area of concern was his sleeping habits and Diaz is in the process of training himself to sleep longer.

“This is probably my biggest challenge because I’m not one who sleeps that many hours,” he said.

“My average is six hours, maybe.

Soboba receives recognition for its environmental impact Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

At the GRID Alternatives Inland Empire 10-year anniversary celebration, community leaders and partners who are making a positive impact were recognized through the nonprofit’s annual Sunshine Awards. The Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians received one of six awards presented during the virtual event Thursday, Oct. 7.

The Sunshine Award for Environment honors those who are advancing green practices and promoting the benefits of sustainability while creating economic wealth, mitigating environmental impacts and acting inclusively toward all segments of society.

GRID IE provides access to clean, renewable solar energy to low-income families and hands-on job training to help workers enter the solar industry. It began its Sunshine Awards program in 2017 to recognize the community partners, organizations and leaders whose work exemplifies, supports and actualizes those values in the immediate Inland Empire community.

“To be a Sunshine Award nominee is not about presenting an award for what someone has done for GRID,” Cynthia “Cindy” Corrales, workforce and volunteer manager of GRID Alternatives Inland Empire, who served as one of the ceremony’s hosts, said. “It’s really all about recognizing what someone or an organization has done for the Inland communities.”

Lisa Castilone, the community development and tribal manager for GRID Alternatives Inland Empire, presented Soboba with its 2021 environmental partner of the year award.

“We are celebrating a longstanding partnership with the tribe that will incorporate this year building a microgrid system that is paired with batteries for the tribe’s state-of-theart fire station,” she said.

Castilone said the project is designed to help the tribe and the community-at-large by ensuring that the Soboba Fire Station’s emergency center will have power during an outage, especially those caused by natural disasters such as wildfires that plague the local area.

Soboba Tribal Council Chair Isaiah Vivanco and Vice Chair Geneva Mojado were online to accept the award virtually.

“We are proud and honored to be recognized by GRID Alternatives IE for this Sunshine Award,” Vivanco said. “Over the course of the tribe’s history, we have always been mindful of the resources left for us on this earth and we are constantly

looking for ways to improve things.

Partnerships like this with GRID really helped us explore those options and take advantage of them.”

Vivanco explained that about five years ago, with the help of the Department of Energy, the tribe completed two 1-megawatt solar fields.

They are used to offset current energy cost usage in a sustainable way while providing economic savings used to promote and enhance other tribal community programs.

“That’s really been a kick-off for us and seeing the benefit in that, we progressed into working with GRID and have really taken advantage of everything they have to offer,” he said. “Our fire department is making sure this current project is helping us stay resilient and making sure we have power and that we’re able to restore energy to that service, a major part of our public safety, which is important to us as a tribe.”

GRID Alternatives was awarded a $1.7 million grant from the California Energy Commission for a microgrid community solar project and battery backup system on the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians reservation in San Jacinto. This project will consist of a 55-kilowatt, direct-current solar system, installed on a carport at the Soboba Fire Station, with a resilient battery backup system that can last six to 10 hours in case of a power shut off, which will provide an emergency source of power for the community. The battery backup system’s non-lithium battery will be led and monitored by the University of California Riverside’s Office of Sustainability team and energy division.

The California Energy Commission grant project is intended to improve community resilience and community safety, improve operation of critical facilities, provide a platform for new battery technology advancement and advance clean energy goals, reducing the tribe’s total energy cost.

“This project will not only allow emergency services to continue during outages but will also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate disasters that cause the outages in the first place,” Castilone said.

Installation for the CEC-funded Soboba Fire Station carport will commence in November, followed by installation of the battery backup system and is slated for completion next year.

“We’re honored to be recognized, and honored to be working with GRID,” Vivanco said. “We value the relationship we have with the GRID IE team of Lisa Castilone and Dan Dumovich. We look

forward to doing more and bigger things with you and hope that you continue your efforts throughout Indian Country in the area. We really appreciate that, and I can’t say that enough.”

Vivanco also gave thanks to the Soboba team members that were involved with solar projects on the reservation, which included Michael Castello, Devon Lomayesa, David Hong, Steven Estrada, Ken McLaughlin and Lenell Carter “and the rest of our Soboba team and those from GRID that worked with our team.”

Castilone said, “It’s an honor and privilege for GRID to work with tribal communities right here in the Inland Empire. I’m looking forward to many more projects like this.”

GRID IE developed the tribal program, which would evolve into GRID’s National Tribal Program, with the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe where 96 homeowners continue to benefit from renewable energy technology. Recent milestones include piloting California’s first lowincome community solar project in partnership with Anza Electric Cooperative and the Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians and the electric vehicle charging station and tribal pilot program with the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians.

Every GRID Alternatives Inland Empire project is an opportunity for tribal members to learn about solar installation and related energy issues. GRID partners with tribal colleges and workforce development programs to provide students with hands-on solar training and connections to local solar companies, offers workshops and energy efficiency education to tribal mem-

bers, and works with K-12 schools to introduce students to renewable energy.

Other Sunshine Award honorees for 2021 are Collaboration: Center for Environmental Research & Technology, University of California Riverside/Southern California-Research Initiative for Solar Energy; Equity & Justice: Beneficial State Foundation; Workforce Development: Riverside Unified School District Career Technical Education; Public Partner: Coachella Valley Association

of Governments and Corporate Partner: Edison International and Anza Electric Cooperative.

GRID Alternatives Inland Empire’s team has more projects on the horizon and as Jaime Alonso, executive director, said in closing the Sunshine Awards presentation, “GRID IE is answering the call to lead our clean energy future and never losing sight of where the benefits of our labor must flow: people, planet and employment.”

The American Cancer Society’s newest Discovery Shop location at 40665 Winchester Road, Suite 8, in Temecula hosted a grand opening celebration, Friday, Nov. 5.

Proceeds from the shop, which is owned and operated by the American Cancer Society, funds lifesaving patient programs and services and ground-breaking cancer research, Beckie MooreFlati, director of regional integrated marketing, said.

According to Moore-Flati, in 2019, the American Cancer Society provided Californians with 68,745 free rides to their potentially lifesaving treatment, 9,812 nights of free or reduced-cost lodging near treatment centers and 114,260 online and telephone information sessions with cancer information specialists. She said that the American Cancer Society has contributed to a 31% decline in cancer mortality rates from 1991 to 2018, including a 2.4% decline from 2017 to 2018, a record drop in cancer mortality for the second straight year due to improved lung cancer treatments.

During the event, the Temecula

Valley Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting during the event which featured raffle prizes and hors d’oeuvres for those in attendance.

Patrons were able to shop the store filled with high-quality, gently used and new merchandise, donated by the community then curated and sold in the upscale stores.

Featuring items such as designer and casual wear, accessories and jewelry, collectibles and vintage, artwork, antiques, furniture, home décor and other household items.

Over the past 56 years, the Discovery Shop enterprise, which is staffed in large part by local community volunteers, has raised more than $480 million in support of the ACS lifesaving mission while playing a leading role in the sustainable goods effort, Moore-Flati said.

TIME and Ally Financial honor Temecula automotive dealer Terry Gilmore wins national recognition for community service and industry accomplishments New York, NY – The nomination of Terry Gilmore, dealer principal at Paradise Chevrolet Cadillac in Temecula for the 2022 TIME Dealer of the Year award was announced Monday, Nov. 8,

by TIME. Gilmore is one of a select group of 47 dealer nominees from across the country who will be honored at the 105th annual National Automobile Dealers Association Show in Las Vegas March 11, 2022. The announcement of this year’s annual award was made

by Viktoria Degtar, Global Chief Revenue Officer, TIME and Doug Timmerman, president of Dealer Financial Services, Ally Financial.

The TIME Dealer of the Year award is one of the automobile industry’s most prestigious and highly coveted honors. Recipients are among the nation’s most successful auto dealers who also demonstrate a long-standing commitment to community service.

Gilmore was chosen to represent the California New Car Dealers Association in the national competition, one of only 47 auto dealers nominated for the 53rd annual award from more than 16,000 nationwide.

“The most rewarding aspect of my career has been changing the lives of people through our community outreach,” nominee

Gilmore said. “My involvement has shaped my company and made it a better place to work.”

Gilmore, a 1965 graduate of Ritenour High School in St. Louis, Missouri, served in the United States Army from 1966 to 1968.

His first job was at a local bowling alley in St. Louis and he had dreams of becoming a professional bowler. But his life took a different path after falling in love with Scottsdale while on vacation.

Gilmore moved to Arizona in 1977 and secured a job selling cars at a dealership in Scottsdale.

Gilmore’s move to Scottsdale not only put him on a new career path but it was where he met his wife, Cindy, who was also selling cars at the dealership. The two eventually relocated to Ventura, and Gilmore was hired at Paradise Chevrolet, an opportunity that would change the trajectory of his career.

At Paradise Chevrolet, he advanced from used-car manager to new-car manager to finance manager and eventually, general manager. In 1992, Bob Gregory, the dealership’s owner, asked Gilmore to partner with him in a store in Temecula.

“And the rest is history,” he said.

“I don’t think I thought about being a dealer until I went to work for Bob, who believed in me and

encouraged me to save my money.

Bob’s friendship, his high integrity and his belief in me made everything possible.”

Gilmore also credits his wife of 41 years for working as hard as he did to build the business. “Cindy shares my drive and dedication,” he said. “Having her by my side on this journey has been a blessing.”

Today, Gilmore’s daughter Katelyn is following in her father’s footsteps. She has been the dealership’s top salesperson, spent two years in finance and is now in sales management. She is poised to be the next generation to oversee the family enterprise.

“Timing is everything in life,” he said. “I was fortunate to open a dealership so close to the starting of our cityhood in Temecula. As one of the larger businesses, we were able to grow as the City of Temecula was experiencing tremendous growth as well.”

And Gilmore gives back to his adopted hometown by supporting numerous organizations and causes through donations and by rolling up his sleeves and getting involved. He helped establish the Boys & Girls Club of Southwest County and has been a board member since 1993. He also serves on the advisory board of the Assistance League of Temecula Valley and has held leadership positions

on the boards of area chambers of commerce (Temecula Valley and Murrieta/Wildomar) and a local health system.

Other groups that Gilmore supports include Hospice of the Valleys, Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley, Michelle’s Place Cancer Research Center, Jacob’s House, Our Nicholas Foundation (autism awareness) and Susan G. Komen Inland Empire, to name a few. He gets the most joy from providing Christmas to the families of terminally ill children through Cops for Kids.

For his good works and his contributions to Temecula, Gilmore was proud to be recognized on the City of Temecula Wall of Honor.

“I was recognized as one of the 10 people who had the most impact on the city in its first 10 years of incorporation,” he said.

He added, “When my daughter Katelyn takes my place, I will have set a culture of ‘see the need, do the deed’ that she can continue for years to come.”

Dealers are nominated by the executives of state and metro dealer associations around the country. A panel of faculty members from the Tauber Institute for Global Operations at the University of Michigan will select one finalist from each of the four NADA regions and one national Dealer of the Year.

Kay Construction given Peck and Chestnut sewer contract Joe Naiman WRITER

Kay Construction was given the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District contract for the EVMWD project to replace Peck Street and Chestnut Street sewer mains in Lake Elsinore.

The contract was awarded at the EVMWD board meeting Thursday, Oct. 28. A 3-0 vote with Darcy Burke and Harvey Ryan absent approved the contract with Kay Construction for the Santee company’s bid of $1,600,072 and authorized $1,654,677 of appropriations which includes $46,605 for staff time and $8,000 for overhead.

The downtown Lake Elsinore sewer collection system is more than 100 years old and is exhibiting structural deterioration and failures, root intrusions and

frequent grease buildup issues. A sewer collection system without major issues should be cleaned once every five years, but the issues with the downtown sewer system require cleaning once every two years. Sewer system improvements in the downtown area will reduce operations and maintenance costs and will also reduce the potential for future blockages and overflows.

Since 2005 approximately 9,700 feet of sewer main have been upgraded in downtown Lake Elsinore. A July 2017 board action awarded a design services contract to Psomas, and during the design process, construction was separated into two phases to accommodate construction sequencing and customer needs. Phase I was completed in May 2020 and rehabilitated approximately 980 linear

feet of existing eight-inch vitrified clay pipe in the alley west of Main Street between Graham Avenue and Franklin Street utilizing the cured-in-place pipe liner method.

Phase 2 will install approximately 2,800 feet of new 8-inch sewer main along Peck Street, Chestnut Street and the alleys east of Dutton Street and north of Franklin Street.

The work will be coordinated with the city of Lake Elsinore to provide street improvements along portions of Peck Street, Chestnut Street and an alley south of Graham Avenue and west of Chestnut Street. The July 22 EVMWD board meeting included awarding the construction management contract to Infrastructure Engineering Corporation.

On June 1, the Lake Elsinore City Council approved a cooperative funding agreement for the

street improvement work, and the city council approved an amendment to the agreement, Sept. 28, to reflect increased project costs.

The city will reimburse the water district for approximately 69% of the total project costs although the current agreement limits the city’s total payment to $623,833.87.

Eastern advertised the Phase 2 project for bid Aug. 11. Five bids were received by the Sept. 7 deadline. The Kay Construction bid was the lowest and was determined to be responsive. C.P. Construction Company Inc. of Upland had the second-lowest bid at $1,916,349.

The contract calls for completion within 180 days of the commencement date stipulated in the notice to proceed.

finalists will receive an additional $5,000 for their favorite charities and the winner will receive an additional $10,000 to give to charity, donated by Ally.

In its 11th year as exclusive sponsor, Ally also will recognize dealer nominees and their community efforts by contributing $1,000 to each nominee’s 501(c)(3) charity of choice. Nominees will also be recognized on AllyDealerHeroes.com, which highlights the philanthropic contributions and achievements of TIME Dealer of the Year nominees.

“In cities and towns across the country, auto dealers make a big economic impact, going the extra mile to strengthen their communities,” Doug Timmerman, president of dealer financial services, Ally, said. “It’s an incredible achievement to be nominated for TIME Dealer of the Year. The program not only recognizes leadership in business and customer service, but also a commitment to giving back and doing it right.”

Gilmore was nominated for the TIME Dealer of the Year award

by Brian Maas, president of the California New Car Dealers Association. Gilmore and his wife Cindy have two daughters, Tina and Katelyn.

Prep football playoffs underway for area teams

Temecula Valley football opened the CIF Southern Section Division 6 playoffs with a 43-20 victory over North (Torrance).

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

The CIF Southern Section playoff season has arrived, with football, boys’ water polo and girls’ tennis postseason play all underway. The work put in all season, as well as in the preseason, continues for those programs that had above average seasons. In the local football report, quite a few teams advanced past the first round, while some surprisingly did not.

Included in that mix is Southwestern League champion, Murrieta Valley (7-4), who only put 14 points on the scoreboard, matching their amount scored since their week 2 loss to Apple Valley in early September. The Nighthawks were ill prepared for Edison High School’s backup quarterback, Tyler Gioia, who had to step up into the starting role on short notice for the Chargers.

Gioia, with one previous start this season, was filling in for starting quarterback Parker Awad, who had to sit out because of COVID-19 protocols. As the starter, Gioia answered the call, completing 18 of 24 passes for 310 yards and five touchdowns to lead Edison to a 42-14 victory.

Murrieta Valley had led most of the stat categories in the Southwestern League this year and had won their first league title since 2017.

Vista Murrieta (9-2), who only lost the Southwestern League title this year by one point (49-48 loss to MV), made the most of their playoff opportunities behind the ground attack of Gavin Galzote as well as their defensive pressure and big special teams plays. The host Broncos defeated the undefeated Cajon Cowboys, 40-27, in the opening round of the CIF-SS Division 2 football playoffs. Galzote rushed for 203 yards on 30 carries and two touchdowns, but a first quarter 96-yard kickoff return that would ignite the night for the Broncos.

Vista Murrieta’s defense recorded eight sacks on the night and only allowed Cajon to score once on a 5-yard touchdown pass from Martinez Miles to Rae Ford.

Bronco kicker Luke Matthews added two second half field goals, from 26 and 29 yards to help the Cowboys. Freddy Fletcher led Cajon with 132 yards on 15 carries and also hauled in three catches for 96 yards. Jeyquan Smith added 90 yards on the ground and had three receptions for 99 yards.

More quick game recaps Beaumont (8-3) 30, San Jacinto 28 (8-2): Beaumont defensive lineman Kevin Palacios recovered two fumbles during the second half, and Christopher Cooper accounted for four touchdowns as Beaumont held on for a 30-28 victory over San Jacinto 30-28 in a CIF Southern Section Division 5 playoff opener Friday night. Beaumont avenged a 44-36 loss from earlier this season and snapped an eight-game losing skid to the Tigers. San Jacinto (9-2) had a 22-16 lead at halftime, but the Tigers fumbled the ball away on the second play of the third quarter.

Cooper passed for 175 yards Friday night and had a pair of 3-yard touchdown runs in the first half.

Dereun Dortch threw for 254 yards and rushed for 140 yards and three touchdowns on 10 carries.

Chaparral (7-4) 23, Palm Desert (8-4) 0: Chaparral held Palm Desert scoreless in the Pumas first round match-up against the Aztecs. Caron Tyler, Dash Beierly and Devyne Pearson were the trio of leaders on offense for Chaparral combining for over 200 yards on the ground and over 100 yards in the air. The Pumas are a young squad boasting seven freshmen on the varsity team, five of whom start. The same group of boys were on the same local eighth grade team that won the AYF National Championship for 14U in Kissimmee, Florida. Liam Porter (Right Tackle; 6’3” 290lbs) is the first

Elsinore (8-3) 37, Santa Ynez (8-3) 10: Jamari Jones helped Elsinore get past Santa Ynez in the opening round of their CIF Southern Section Division 8 match-up.

Jones rushed for 218 yards, scoring twice, while league leading running back Donovan Harvey was contained to just 76 yards and one score this past week. Mykai Skinner and Matthew Hodges had one QB sack each to help lead the Tigers defense with almost 15 tackles between the two. Elijah Yoshinaga was the overall defensive leader with 8 tackles. Hodges and Yoshiniga also recorded one touchdown each.

Santa Rosa football loses big to Alhambra, 49-14 Joe Quinn SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

Indeed, it was a cold night on the field, and it stayed that way for the Rangers of Santa Rosa despite their two TD outburst early in the third quarter. On the first play of the game, the Moors of Alhambra moved the ball 40 yards on a simple run over the left side. That seemed an omen for the rest of the game. The Moors did score shortly after and twice more in the second quarter. Their place kicker, Emilio Reynoso, was perfect on the night converting all extra points.

The Rangers came out swinging in the third quarter and scored quickly on TDs by Jeremiah Park and Daniel Gonzales narrowing the score to 21-14 and providing hope that this was to be a tight game that could go either way.

Unfortunately, the ground attack by Alhambra could not be stopped. The Moors rushed for 388 yards on the night with Cyrus Wu topping out at 131 and one touchdown. Eric Baray added 97 more yards with his old-fashioned “Jim Taylor-like” power running.

Baray also took it across the goal line three times outscoring Santa Rosa single handedly.

Rangers QB Adam Pinard was under pressure all night but managed a 50-yard pass in the third quarter that brought the team close to the end zone and the Ranger crowd to its feet. Jeremiah Park, Daniel Gonzalez, Tyler Baxter and Jeffrey Sims showed individual brilliance but given the final score, it was clearly not the Rangers’ night.

The large Moors crowd was loud and into the game all night.

The school showed great spirit and even produced a highly professional choreographed halftime show by the band, cheer team and student body. For such a cool evening the Santa Rosa crowd was sizable as well. There is definitely an advantage to play at home during the CIF Southern Section playoffs.

The Rangers season ends at 4-5 with five straight losses after a strong 4-0 start. Their game with Sherman Indian was cancelled and might have given them a shot at a 50-50 season. Alhambra moves on to play Hamilton High of Anza

in the second round. Santa Rosa played the Bobcats of Hamilton tight a few weeks back. Alhambra is also ranked No. 1 in their division.

Jeremiah Park, Luke Adams,

Sydney Geske, Daniel Heiner, Jeffrey Sims, Cameron Quesada, Lee Goode, Adam Pinard and Daniel Clay all move on after their final high school game. A good nucleus will return, and Coach Jones and

AD Torres are hopeful for an improvement on the 2021 Season.

Hall of famer LaDainian Tomlinson to speak at 45th annual football press luncheon JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

The CIF Southern Section will hold its 45th Championship Football Press Conference and Luncheon, presented by the Los Angeles Chargers Monday, Nov. 22. The keynote speaker for the luncheon will be National Football League Hall of Fame running back LaDainian Tomlinson.

Tomlinson attended high school in Waco, Texas, where he earned second-team all-state honors his senior season. He chose to attend Texas Christian University and in both his junior and senior years at TCU he was collegiate football’s leading rusher. He finished fourth in the voting for the Heisman Trophy in 2000 and was selected by the San Diego Chargers with the fifth overall pick in the first round of the NFL draft in 2001.

Tomlinson was also one of the

most versatile players in the NFL, gaining more than 1,200 rushing yards, as well as making more than 50 pass receptions, in each of his first seven seasons.

In 2003, Tomlinson became the only NFL player ever to rush for 1,000 yards and catch 100 passes in the same season, and he was one of only seven players in the history of the league to have run, caught and passed for a touchdown in a single game. In 2006, Tomlinson led the league in rushing yards and broke both Shaun Alexander’s record for most touchdowns scored in one season (31) and the 46-yearold record for most single-season points scored (186). Earlier in the season Tomlinson had reached another milestone when he scored the 100th touchdown of his NFL career, accomplishing the feat in just 89 games, quicker than anyone else in league history.

Tomlinson’s success led to his

selection as the NFL’s Most Valuable Player for the 2006 season.

His landmark year propelled the Chargers to a 14–2 record in 2006, the best in the NFL, but they were upset in their first playoff game by the New England Patriots. Tomlinson led the NFL in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns again in the 2007 season, and he helped the Chargers advance to the American Football Conference championship game in January 2008.

He left the Chargers in 2010 and signed with the New York Jets. Tomlinson played two seasons with the Jets, and he retired in 2012, after having signed a ceremonial one-day contract with the Chargers, with 162 career touchdowns, the third highest total in NFL history at the time of his retirement. In 2017, he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Chaparral water polo edges Elsinore, falls to Camarillo in quarterfinals JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

There is nothing like meeting up with your neighbors for some good old-fashioned fun and competition. That’s exactly what happened when the Elsinore Tigers water polo team took on Chaparral last week in the CIF Southern Section Division 4 playoffs, except it was more competition than fun.

Elsinore (21-5) scored first when Ikaika Mativa found himself wideopen in front of the goal following a restart in play. Jack Pavlosky tied the score for the Pumas in the first period. The score remained tied into the second period, but Tristan Anderson, Pavlosky and Jack Hougland each scored a goal to give Chaparral a 4-1 halftime lead.

Jack Hougland’s goal came with two seconds remaining in the half.

It would take Elsinore 15 minutes from the time they scored their first goal, until they scored again in the third quarter. The Tigers trailed 6-3 entering the fourth quarter, but Jonathan Woodroof and Matt Woodroof each scored a goal to bring the lead to within a single goal.

Collin Crilly, who led the Pumas defensive efforts, scored to give

Chaparral a 7-5 lead with 3:26 remaining. Goals from Greyson Barrios and Jonathan Woodward evened the score for the Tigers as time began to run out. Neither team could get ahead at the end of regulation, forcing overtime.

Chaparral goalkeeper Justin Hougland (16 saves) stopped a shot with just under two minutes remaining in the first overtime session and then quickly delivered an outlet pass to Spencer Paine who scored on the counterattack as the Pumas pulled out an 8-7 win.

Hougland recorded 16 saves for Chaparral. Ayson King finished with 10 saves for Elsinore. Chaparral then traveled to No. 2-seeded Camarillo (16-8) for a quarterfinal match this past Saturday but fell to the Scorpions 11-7.

Murrieta Valley fell in the first round of the Division 2 playoffs to M. L. King (14-13), Temescal Canyon fell in the first round of the Division 3 playoffs to Roosevelt (10-8), Temecula Valley fell to Glendale 15-12 in the first round of the Division 4 playoffs, West Valley fell to Citrus Valley 25-9 in the first round of the Division 5 playoffs, and in the Division 6 playoffs it was Paloma Valley that fell in the second round to La

Wine country professional soccer team brings international flavor, local ownership to the valley

Temecula FC is going in a new direction with fan ownership.

Valley News/Andrez Imaging

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

Temecula FC, the first professional soccer club to come to the valley, has news of fan ownership and Will Donachie the former Manchester City and Scottish National team star buying shares in the club have brought renewed excitement around the valley.

For those that do not know, baked in the sun of the Temecula Valley is a minor league soccer team with a bright future and massive potential. The new direction in fan ownership is also a microcosm of the project at Temecula FC, where international influences both on and off the pitch will guide the Temecula club forward for seasons to come.

Not since a 2013-2014 campaign has there been more than one owner at the club. That ended with Vince Paccione stepping away from his

ownership to pursue other interests in his life and leaving Brandon Jantz as sole owner. Since then, the club has grown on and off the field and is the longest serving club in the NPSL Southwest Conference.

“It’s an understatement to say it’s been a rollercoaster growing the game in the valley,” Jantz said.

“It’s been a big challenge, but we’ve worked through it. It has been tough planning long term but with this new option of fan ownership I’m sure we will be building a remarkably successful football club on and off the field in the coming years. I am looking forward to the insight and collaborations that come with having fans more invested and voting on prominent issues in operations.”

Husband of missing Fallbrook woman shares his story as search continues “The only thing that matters to me is that she shows up, period.”

Missing person signs for Elena Roy, 83, are posted around Fallbrook after she went missing Nov. 3.

Village News/Shane Gibson photos

Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

Missing Fallbrook woman Elena Roy’s husband spoke to Village News in an exclusive interview Saturday, Nov. 6, pleading for the return of his wife who, as of press time, hadn’t been seen since Wednesday, Nov. 3.

“The only thing that matters to me is that she shows up, period,” Chris Cataldo said, adding that he had been dealing with false reports of her disappearance from “all over town.”

Roy, who disappeared between 1:30 and 1:45 p.m., is white, 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighs about 120 pounds. She has graying dark hair and wears glasses and was wearing a white, light blue and dark blue top with dark pants, a silver and turquoise bangle bracelet and blue leather-soled shoes with flowers on them. She does have her purse with her, he said.

“There has been no bank activity on any of her cards,” Cataldo said.

Roy’s disappearance prompted a full-scale search with hundreds of volunteers taking to the streets, alleyways and even rural areas surrounding Fallbrook in an attempt to find her. As of press time, she remains missing.

Search and Rescue had about 60 people out looking for Roy according to her son, Jerry Swart.

“They had the helicopter out for two days along with drones and dogs,” he said.

Lt. Arens with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department’s Media Relations Office spoke with Village News Saturday, Nov. 6, saying that the San Diego Sheriff’s Department pulled back the Search and Rescue Teams from the search.

“I’m not sure the reason or if they are still looking,” Arens said, adding that he wasn’t “privy” to the investigation. “But yet Search and Rescue was out there for two days. I know they took today off. I don’t know if they are regrouping to figure out where she might have went, where to have the volunteers search.”

Sgt. Jason Scroggins with the San Diego County Sheriff Department’s Fallbrook station said that the call initially came into the department as a request for a deputy to call Cataldo, not as a missing person report at 8:17 p.m. Nov. 3.

“It was dispatched at 8:19 p.m.,” Scroggins said. “When the call came in, it wasn’t called in as a missing person, it was a request for a phone call from a deputy. …

It said, ‘he did not want to enter his wife as a missing person at risk until he speaks to a deputy.’ It came in as a phone request and a deputy called him then at 8:50 p.m. it changed to a missing person.

I don’t know at what exact time the phone call was made (by the deputy).”

Scroggins said that there had been several calls to the department reporting possible sightings of Roy, but that none had turned out to be “fruitful.”

“There was a similar looking lady in stature that was seen in different places and we spent some time tracking that down and we were able to ultimately determine it wasn’t her,” he said. “She was dressed similar, had a beanie on so we had reason to believe that might have been Miss Roy but it wasn’t and we were able to verify that.”

Cataldo said that Roy, who he said prefers to go by her maiden name Lorea, has had “incrementally increasing dementia” issues over the past four or five years.

“It has been gradually getting worse over time,” he said. “She did take off on me one time when we were at Grocery Outlet and she got mad that I was trying to adjust her mask. Before I knew it, I turned around and she was gone.

That was disconcerting.”

Cataldo said the last time she disappeared about a year ago she did turn up before dusk.“That didn’t happen this time. As we got fairly close to dusk, I went out and looked for her,” he said, adding that Roy is an avid walker.

He said the last time Roy disappeared the people who found her took her to the sheriff’s substation and that is what he thought would happen this time as well.

Cataldo said they have lived in Fallbrook for the past eight years and that Roy’s children did not want the couple to get married.

“They were sure, they were sure I was the wrong guy for her and if it wasn’t for the pastor, we probably wouldn’t have been able to get together,” he said, adding that she is the “light of his life.”

“I would die for her,” he said.

“I would die for her right now today to have her back and that is no joke.”

According to Cataldo, the couple are together all the time. They were, he said, inseparable.

“Part of the problem is that she gets bored in Fallbrook, she does have incremental dementia,” he said. “She can carry on a sparkling conversation with you; problem is,

she can’t tell you where she lives or her phone number or even how to get back here.”

Private Investigator Tony Campbell talked to Eric from Fallbrook Auto Works, who is Roy’s regular mechanic. He said he spotted her Wednesday on the East side of Main Street.

“Eric thought that was between 1 and 2 p.m. and she was headed north on Main Avenue,” Campbell said. “He was 100% sure it was her. He did not know if she was carrying a purse.”

Cataldo said he was unaware that Eric from Fallbrook Auto Works spotted her Wednesday on the East side of Main Street until later in the day.

Ross Curtis, an Allstate agent on Mission Road, reported to the Sheriff’s department that he thought he saw Roy sitting on Beech Street next to the Citrus Plaza between 3 and 3:30 p.m.

Thursday, Nov. 4. He said the Sheriff’s department came out and also went inside the Citrus Plaza looking for her. “We have clients who get dementia and when you see a person that seems out of the ordinary, it catches your attention,” Curtis said, adding that he thought he had seen her before. He has had clients with dementia who have shown up in his office five or six times a day so he’s worked with the families to make sure they are aware.

Due to Roy’s dementia, “she doesn’t like to be apart from me or left alone,” Cataldo said, adding

that as like most dementia patients she gets mad about the slightest thing.

“She comes back and she doesn’t even remember what she was mad about,” he said. “She apologizes and that’s that.”

Cataldo said that it was a recurring problem but that she had promised that she wouldn’t do it again.

“In my gut I knew I really shouldn’t fully believe her,” he said. “I didn’t think she would go this far, this long.”

He said the police have asked him to stay at home in case she showed up.

“She hasn’t showed up, it’s been cool days, cold nights, fog and it destroys me to think where she might be, she might be in a ditch half dead or fully dead or something,” he said, adding that he hoped he was wrong, but after this long of a period of time odds were that she wouldn’t be coming back.

“I hope that I am wrong, but I am holding out hope,” he said.

Cataldo said that he called the police after searching for his wife and that it took some time for deputies to respond and then there was over an hour of questioning by police before he was finally able to notify the rest of the family.

“It took over an hour and they had tons of questions for me,” he said of the police response. “The next day they come out, search the entire place and had tons more questions. Then Search and Rescue got in and they have tons of questions.”

He said first thing after he finished with the police Wednesday night, he called Roy’s daughter Jessica to let her know her mother had been missing for about seven hours.

“She got the call right after I got done with the cops who needed to know first,” he said.

Scroggins said that the police have “exhausted all available leads.” He said police have searched “about a five-mile radius” around Roy’s home and that at this point they are really relying on tips from the public.

“We are almost to the needle in the haystack stage of it where she could be anywhere. That’s where we are relying on the community as a whole,” he said. “We are getting it out on our social media and those types of things to have people who hopefully have seen something or remember something about her to give us an area to go search.”

Scroggins said in addition to

helicopters, drones and search and rescue dogs, rescuers are searching on foot as well.

“We had some people out in the DeLuz area yesterday (Sunday, Nov. 7) looking around,” he said.

Scroggins encouraged residents to check any abandoned vehicles, any outdoor storage areas and around their property and anywhere that a person could possibly be for any signs Roy might have been there and to report anything suspicious to the police.

“We rely on the public and the community as a whole,” he said.

“Without the community support and participation there is a lot of stuff we can’t do. We can’t go into people’s yards and places they can check for us. Who knows the property better than the property owner?”

Scroggins said that since Fallbrook is a rural community there are a lot of places where someone could be, without being detected.

“In some cases you could be 10 feet off the road and we would never see you unless you wanted to be seen,” he said. “That’s why we need the community and those property owners who are out there to be vigilant and if they see something that doesn’t look right to call us. We’d rather chase 100 false sightings than miss the one that would lead us to recover Miss Roy and bring her home.”

Cataldo, who said he misses his wife and just wants her home, said that he and Roy had grown closer over the pandemic.

“I am around her all day, every day,” he said, adding that he almost went with her Wednesday when she left to go for a walk but that he was trying to give her space.

“I wish to hell I had gone with her,” he said. “Because that is what I am going to remember for the rest of my life. I will never forgive myself for that and I don’t care what people say. I know me and I know her and I just didn’t want to piss her off even more. If I had she would be here today and I would have forgone all of this.”

Cataldo said he would pay the price for that decision.

“More importantly, she is paying the price for that,” he said.

Anyone with possible information about Roy’s whereabouts should call the sheriff’s department at (760) 451-3100, or 911.

Supervisors OK $2.5M increase for COVID testing of migrants City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved a $2.5 million increase in allocations for COVID-19 screening of undocumented immigrants dropped by federal agents at transportation hubs throughout the county.

In a 5-0 vote, Tuesday, Nov. 2, the board authorized the Emergency Management Department to continue its current contract with Tustin-based Equaltox Laboratory at a total cost of $3.11 million, compared to the original contract price of $614,400. Equaltox began providing SARS-CoV-2 testing

services for the county, specifically in response to the border crisis, in July.

Between March and June, the number of border crossers entering the county was estimated at 200 a week. But since July, the number has swelled to 600 per week, and according to EMD Director Bruce Barton, most of those are individuals and families picked up by the U.S. Border Patrol and turned loose in Blythe, Indio and Murrieta, some near U.S. Customs & Border Protection stations, where bus and other transportation services are available.

“The Border Patrol does not have the ability to take care of

them,” Barton told the board.

“There’s a humanitarian issue here. There’s an impact to communities where they’re being dropped off with COVID status unknown.”

Those who test positive for the virus are placed in “isolation quarantine,” Barton said.

But the quarantine generally involves 12-day hotel and motel stays at taxpayer expense, under a policy approved by the board in May, using American Rescue Plan Act money or other federal reimbursements to the county.

“This is kind of a shocker. Millions and millions of dollars are going into this,” Rancho Mirage resident Brad Anderson told the

board during public comments on the Equaltox compact. “I have a lot of negative things to say, but I hope you will inform the public about this. I’m opposed to this.”

Barton described the expenditures as necessary for “safety net services provided by the county because these people are being brought in by the federal government.”

Along with the EMD, the Department of Housing, Homelessness Prevention & Workforce Solutions, the Department of Probation, the Department of Mental Health and other county agencies are working to vet and render services to undocumented

immigrants under the Riverside County Asylum Seeker Response Program.

A letter co-written by Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Corona, and sent to the Biden administration in October said that more than 1.3 million migrants have been apprehended entering the U.S. illegally between January and September, setting a record and representing a 386% increase compared to the same period in 2020.

The bulk of apprehensions have occurred in Texas, though streams of asylum seekers have continued to enter via California and other southern border states, according to officials.

Man dies in attempt to save woman in ‘horrific’ ziplining incident Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

A 34-year-old man working a zipline receiving platform in north San Diego County was fatally injured Saturday, Oct. 30, while trying to save a woman who was attempting to hook up on the platform, authorities said.

Joaquin Romero of Banning died of multiple blunt force trauma injuries Monday, Nov. 1, after he fell from a receiving platform of a zipline while trying to help the rider, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner.

Romero, who worked at the La Jolla Indian Campground, had been assigned to work the receiving platform at the campground’s La Jolla Zip Zoom outdoor attraction at 22000 Highway 76 in Pauma Valley when he fell trying to assist someone who had just completed the ride. According to

numerous published reports, the rider began to slide out on the line and Romero grabbed onto her harness in an attempt to stop her.

Both Romero and the rider slid out on the line roughly 100 feet above the ground, and Romero made what many are calling a heroic decision, dropping off the line to ensure the rider’s safety.

Romero suffered multiple blunt force injuries, according to a new release issued by the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s office. He was transported to the Sharp Memorial Hospital Emergency Department via helicopter, where he was given a poor prognosis and his family made the decision to place him on comfort care measures which were administered until he died from his injuries, the news release said.

The La Jolla Band of Luiseno Indians issued a statement on the accident saying they were “sad-

dened and heart-broken.”

“The tribe, tribal officials, employees and tribal members extend our sincere condolences to our employee and his family for their loss,” according to the statement.

“Like any employer, we pride ourselves on having a safe working environment and a safe and enjoyable experience for our customers.

Given the circumstances of the accident, the Tribe is conducting an in-depth and comprehensive investigation, in coordination and cooperation with federal and state authorities,” the statement said.

The tribe said that there would be no further comments until the investigation into the incident was completed.

“We ask that you join us in keeping our employee and his family in our prayers,” according to the statement.

Banning resident Joaquin Romero, 34, died of multiple blunt force trauma injuries Monday, Nov. 1, after he fell from a receiving platform of a zipline at the La Jolla Indian Campground’s La Jolla Zip Zoom outdoor attraction while trying to help a rider.

Palomar Medical Center Poway is a Healthgrades five-star recipient for treatment of heart attack, pneumonia, hip fracture treatment and sepsis SAN DIEGO – Palomar Medical Center Poway is 5-star rated for treatment of heart attack, pneumonia, hip fracture treatment and sepsis outcomes according to new research released Wednesday, Nov. 3, by Healthgrades, the leading resource that connects consumers, physicians and health systems.

Every year, Healthgrades evaluates hospital performance at nearly 4,500 hospitals nationwide for 31 of the most common inpatient procedures and conditions.

This analysis shows that patients treated at hospitals receiving a 5-star rating have a lower risk of mortality and a lower risk of experiencing one or more com-

plications during a hospital stay than if they were treated at hospitals receiving a 1-star rating in that procedure or condition. From 2018 through 2020, if all hospitals as a group performed similarly to hospitals receiving 5-stars as a group, on average, 218,141 lives could potentially have been saved, and complications in 156,050 patients could potentially have been avoided.

For example, from 2018-2020, patients treated for heart attack in hospitals with 5-stars for in-hospital mortality have, on average, a 49.6% lower risk of dying than if they were treated in hospitals with 1-star for in-house mortal-

ity. Additionally, from 2018-2020, patients treated for heart attack in hospitals with 1-star for in-hospital mortality are, on average, 2.0 times more likely to die than if they were treated in hospitals with 5-stars for in-hospital mortality.

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.

“Consumers are increasingly becoming aware of the differences of care provided by different hospitals. Consumers can feel

confident that hospitals receiving a Healthgrades 5-star rating have demonstrated exceptional outcomes and their ability to provide quality care,” Dr. Brad Bowman, chief medical officer and head of data science at Healthgrades, said.

“Saving lives is the most important thing we do,” Sheila Brown, chief operations officer of Palomar Health, said. “It’s why we obsess about performing at the highest level, for every patient, every time.

We owe it to our community.”

For its analysis, Healthgrades evaluated approximately 45 million Medicare inpatient records for nearly 4,500 short-term acute care hospitals nationwide to assess

hospital performance in 31 common conditions and procedures and evaluated outcomes in appendectomy and bariatric surgery using all-payer data provided by 16 states. Healthgrades recognizes a hospital’s quality achievements for cohort-specific performance, specialty area performance and overall clinical quality. Individual procedure or condition cohorts are designated as 5-star, 3-star and 1-star.

Touting the move as bringing high-speed train service a step closer to Los Angeles, the California HighSpeed Rail Authority released a final environmental impact report Friday, Nov. 5, for a planned 14-mile stretch of the project between Burbank and Los Angeles.

“While we advance construction in the Central Valley, we continue our march to environmentally clear all 500 miles between San Francisco and the Los Angeles/Anaheim area,” Brian Kelly, CEO of the California High-Speed Rail Authority, said in a statement. “This Los Angeles rail corridor will connect the Hollywood Burbank Airport and Los Angeles Union Station – two key multimodal transportation hubs – providing future passengers clean, electrified

accessible transportation for generations to come.”

The environmental impact report is scheduled to go before the authority’s board of directors, Jan. 19-20, 2022, when it will consider approving the specific route for the rail segment.

The proposed route would use an existing rail corridor adjacent to the Los Angeles River through Burbank, Glendale and into Los Angeles.

In August, the authority approved plans for a stretch of the rail project between Bakersfield and Palmdale, the first segment to be OK’d in Southern California. Approval of the Burbank-to-Los Angeles segment in January would move the section “closer to being ‘shovel ready’ for when preconstruction and construction funding become available,”

can be reviewed on the authority’s website at http://www.hsr.ca.gov. It can also be reviewed in Burbank at Buena Vista Branch Library, 300 N. Buena Vista St.; Northwest Branch Library, 3323 W. Victory Blvd and Burbank Central Library, 110 N. Glenoaks Blvd.

Federal court temporarily blocks Biden’s OSHA vaccine mandate Ailan Evans THE DAILY CALLER

The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit temporarily halted the Biden administration’s rule requiring employers with over 100 workers to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations or implement weekly testing. But then in a surprise move, The White House told private businesses to continue implementing President Joe Biden’s vaccine and testing rule Monday, Nov. 8, after the federal appeals court ordered the stay in a ruling issued Saturday, Nov. 6.

The ruling on the lawsuit filed by state attorneys general ordered the vaccine mandate to be temporarily halted. The mandate was to be enforced through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and set to go into effect Jan. 4.

“Because the petitions give cause to believe there are grave statutory and constitutional issues with the Mandate, the Mandate is hereby stayed pending further action by this court,” the court wrote.

The OSHA rule would require employers with over 100 employees to either mandate vaccines for all their workers or require unvaccinated employees to provide negative COVID-19 tests weekly, beginning Jan. 4. Unvaccinated workers are also required to wear

masks starting Dec. 5.

Despite the ruling, White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters during a Monday’ Nov. 8 briefing that the administration thinks “people should not wait.”

“We say: Do not wait to take actions that will keep your workplace safe. It is important and critical to do and waiting to get more people vaccinated will lead to more outbreaks and sickness,” she said. “So this is about keeping people in a workplace safe and so, and what we’re seeing is more businesses and school closures and most lost jobs … keep us stuck in a pandemic that we’re trying to end. Like, we do not want that to happen. We’re trying to get past this pandemic, and we know the way to do that is to get people vaccinated.”

“So people should not wait.

We should continue to do, move forward and make sure that they’re getting their workplace vaccinated,” she continued.

Jean-Pierre said the Department of Justice (DOJ) would fight the ruling, and the department argued Monday that the challenges to Biden’s rule hadn’t proven that alleged injuries as a result of it “outweigh the harm of [stopping] a Standard that will save thousands of lives and prevent hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations,”

according to CNN. A number of Republican-led states, as well as private businesses, requested the pause, and numerous small businesses sued over Biden’s rule.

The Biden administration maintains that its vaccine and testing requirement is legal. Solicitor of Labor Seema Nanda said in a statement following the court of appeals’ decision that it “is well within OSHA’s authority under the law” and noted the department is “fully prepared to defend this standard in court.”

Jean-Pierre also said Monday that “the administration clearly has the authority to protect workers” and said the rules announced

by Biden “are designed to save lives and stop the spread of COVID-19.”

At least 27 states filed lawsuits challenging the rule in several circuits, according to The Associated Press.

Solicitor of Labor Seema Nanda vowed to fight the 5th Circuit’s ruling in court in a statement shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“The U.S. Department of Labor is confident in its legal authority to issue the emergency temporary standard on vaccination and testing. The Occupational Safety and Health Act explicitly gives OSHA the authority to act quickly in an emergency where

the agency finds that workers are subjected to a grave danger and a new standard is necessary to protect them,” Nanda said.

“The new emergency temporary standard is well within OSHA’s authority under the law and is consistent with OSHA’s requirements to protect the health and safety of workers,” she added, declaring that the Department of Labor was “fully prepared to defend this standard in court.”

The U.S. government had until 5 p.m. Monday to respond to the ruling.

The guidance also stated that anyone who “knowingly makes any false statement, representation or certification” about their vaccination status could face up to six months jail time and a $10,000 fine.

White House says DOJ to determine how much illegal immigrants will be paid as GOP fights proposal Zachary Stieber THE EPOCH TIMES

Proposed payments to illegal immigrants will be determined by the Department of Justice (DOJ), the White House said amid pushback from Republicans in Congress.

The Biden administration is engaged in negotiations to reach settlements in lawsuits brought by illegal aliens separated from family members during the Trump administration.

After initially appearing to deny that payments to the foreign na-

tionals were being considered, President Joe Biden Nov. 6 said they “deserve” compensation for what they went through.

Biden and a spokesperson for the president said his initial denials were centered on the reported number of $450,000 per person.

The DOJ will ultimately decide how much the illegal immigrants will receive, White House adviser Cedric Richmond, a former Democratic U.S. representative, said a day later.

“If the DOJ determines that it saves the taxpayers money and it

rights a wrong, then they will make the determination that is necessary, and I would assume if they make a determination, they’ll come up with what they think is an adequate dollar amount,” Richmond said on Fox News Sunday.

Richmond alleged that some of the children separated from adult family members have yet to be reunited with their relatives. The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for information backing up that claim.

Republicans have decried the proposal to pay illegal immigrants.

Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) and 22 other Republican senators last week introduced an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 that would block taxpayer-funded settlements for illegal immigrants. They also introduced the measure as a standalone bill.

“Biden’s open border policies have reached a new crazy level.

Montana families are struggling

with inflation and skyrocketing costs on everything from gas to groceries because of Biden’s wasteful spending policies, and now the president wants to give hundreds of thousands of dollars to illegal immigrants. Because of Biden, our southern border has been taken over by Mexican cartels and this effort will only continue to incentivize illegal immigration making it worse. This is a gut punch to the American taxpayer,” Daines said in a statement.

Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.), with support from 146 Republican colleagues, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), around the same time introduced a measure that would bar Attorney General Merrick Garland from making settlement payments to illegal immigrants.

“Law-abiding, hardworking Americans have seen their purchasing power decimated by Biden’s economic policies while he has surrendered our southern border.

Paying illegal immigrants $450,000 apiece as an apology for Trump’s decision to enforce our immigration law adds insult to injury. Congress has the power of the purse, and that’s why we must act today to stop this outrageous plan in its tracks,” McClintock said in a statement.

Richmond challenged critics, saying Nov. 7 that “we cannot with a straight face say that parents are willing to separate from a child for​ a dollar amount.”

“That’s just not true,” he said.

“And we should not talk like that.”

Asked for more details on the proposal during the Nov. 8 briefing in Washington, White House Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre referred reporters to the DOJ. The agency, which has confirmed that talks on the payments are ongoing, declined to answer several questions about the negotiations.

Jack Phillips THE EPOCH TIMES

Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said he expects special counsel John Durham’s team to indict more suspects in connection to the origins of the Trump-Russia probe and the discredited Steele dossier.

Last week, a grand jury empaneled by Durham indicted Russia analyst Igor Danchenko, who previously worked for the left-leaning Brookings Institution, for allegedly lying to the FBI. Danchenko had been the main source for the dossier created by former UK spy Christopher Steele that was, in turn, used by the FBI during its inquiry into whether the 2016 campaign of Donald Trump colluded with Russia.

“When I became the director of national intelligence, I said, ‘Listen, I want to see all of the intelligence about this supposed Russian collusion,’ Ratcliffe said during a Fox Business interview Sunday, Nov. 7.

“What I found was, and as you’re finding out, is there was, of course, no Russian collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, but what I did see in intelligence documents, some of which I’ve now declassified that there was collusion involving the Clinton campaign and Russians to create a dossier.”

Numerous documents that Ratcliffe said he had provided to Durham are being used in the special counsel’s investigation, he told Fox. “I declassified the documents that we’ve talked about, but I gave John Durham over 1,000 other documents that have not yet been declassified that I know, including intelligence that goes specifically to this criminal activity that would be the basis for further indictments,” Ratcliffe continued, adding that he believes Durham’s grand jury believes the Steele dossier “is criminal in nature.”

During the 2016 election, Steele was hired by Fusion GPS to conduct opposition research on Trump.

Fusion GPS was retained by highpowered Washington-based law firm Perkins Coie on behalf of the Democratic National Committee Numerous claims pushed in the dossier turned out to be false, triggering congressional, inspector general, and criminal investigations as to why it was used as the basis of a FISA court order to conduct surveillance of a then-Trump campaign aide.

Those who were involved in the construction of the dossier, as well as individuals who promoted it “falsely, would be in jeopardy,” Ratcliffe claimed. “I know that that’s what John Durham is looking at, and as I talked about, this goes to the highest levels of our government and government agencies involved,” he added.

“I continue to think there will be many indictments based on the intelligence that I gave to John Durham and that I have seen,” he continued.

Durham’s team also indicted former Perkins Coie lawyer Michael Sussmann, alleging he lied when he told former FBI General Counsel James Baker in September 2016 that he was not representing a client when he provided Baker with a now-debunked claim that the Trump Organization was communicating electronically with a Russian bank.

Following his arrest Nov. 4, a lawyer representing Danchenko attempted to enter a plea of not guilty but a judge said it was premature, according to reports. Danchenko’s lawyers haven’t responded to a request for comment and have not issued any public statements regarding their client.

Citing national security risks, Carr calls for starting process of adding DJI, a Chinese drone company, to FCC’s Covered List WASHINGTON – At an event focused on strengthening America’s national security, Brendan Carr, commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission, called Tuesday, Oct. 19, for commencing the process of adding DJI, a Shenzhen-based drone company that accounts for more than 50% of the U.S. drone market, to the FCC’s Covered List.

Adding DJI to the Covered List would prohibit federal USF dollars from being used to purchase its equipment. The FCC also has a proceeding under way examining whether to continue approving equipment from entities on the Covered List for use in the U.S., regardless of whether federal dollars are involved. Huawei and four others are already on the Covered List based on a determination that they pose an unacceptable security risk.

“DJI drones and the surveillance technology on board these systems are collecting vast amounts of sensitive data, everything from high-resolution images of critical infrastructure to facial recognition technology and remote sensors that can measure an individual’s body temperature and heart rate,” Carr said. “Security researchers have also found that DJI’s software applications collect large quantities of personal information from

the operator’s smartphone that could be exploited by Beijing.

Indeed, one former Pentagon official stated that ‘we know that a lot of the information is sent back to China from’ DJI drones.

“DJI’s collection of vast troves of sensitive data is especially troubling given that China’s National Intelligence Law grants the Chinese government the power to compel DJI to assist it in espionage activities. In fact, the Commerce Department placed DJI on its Entity List last year, citing DJI’s role in Communist China’s surveillance and abuse of Uyghurs in Xinjiang. Add to this information the widespread use of DJI drones by various state and local public safety and law enforcement agencies as well as news reports that the U.S. Secret Service and FBI recently bought DJI drones, and the need for quick action on the potential national security threat is clear.

“After all, the evidence against DJI has been mounting for years, and various components of the U.S. government have taken a range of independent actions – including grounding fleets of DJI drones based on security concerns.

Yet a consistent and comprehensive approach to addressing DJI’s potential threats is not in place.

That is why the FCC should take

the necessary steps to consider adding DJI to our Covered List.

We do not need an airborne version of Huawei. As part of the FCC’s review, and in consultation with national security agencies, we should also consider whether there are additional entities that warrant closer scrutiny by the FCC,” Carr said.

In his remarks calling for action, Carr said that since 2017 U.S. intelligence services have warned that DJI poses a security threat due to the level of sensitive information it collects and the risk of that data being accessed by Chinese state actors.

Carr pointed to the following evidence. In 2017, an Intelligence Bulletin from a DHS field office stated that DJI is likely providing sensitive U.S. infrastructure and law enforcement data to the Chinse government. In 2019, the Department of Homeland Security issued an alert regarding Chinesemade drones like DJI, stating that “the United States government has strong concerns about any technology product that takes American data into the territory of an authoritarian state that permits its intelligence services to have unfettered access to that data or otherwise abuses that access.”

In 2019, in passing the FY 2020 NDAA, Congress broadly prohib-

ited the Department of Defense from purchasing Chinese-made drones, including DJI drones, based on national security concerns. In January 2020, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior issued an order that largely grounded the Department’s fleet of drones, most notably DJI drones, based on concerns about cybersecurity and safeguarding access to sensitive data and information.

In October 2020, DOJ’s Office of Justice Programs barred the use of their funds for drones made by a “Covered foreign entity… determined or designated, within the Department of Justice, to be subject to or vulnerable to extrajudicial direction from a foreign government,” including DJI. In December 2020, the Department of Commerce added DJI to its “Entity List,” for having “enabled wide-scale human rights abuses within China through abusive genetic collection and analysis or high-technology surveillance, and/ or facilitated the export of items by China that aid repressive regimes around the world, contrary to U.S. foreign policy interests.” In January 2021, President Trump issued an Executive Order detailing the risks of Chinese-made drones, including DJI, and stated the U.S. policy “to prevent the use of taxpayer dollars to procure UAS that

present unacceptable risks and are manufactured by, or contain software or critical electronic components from, foreign adversaries and to encourage the use of domestically produced UAS.” In July 2021, DOD stated that it remains convinced DJI systems “pose potential threats to national security,” and DJI drones are still barred from use by DOD. Carr led FCC efforts to crack down on the threats posed by Communist China. In 2018, he urged the Commission to remove insecure network gear from our communications networks, a process that is now underway. In 2019, Carr called for the FCC to conduct a top-to-bottom review of every telecom carrier with ties to Communist China. The FCC has now launched proceedings to revoke the authorizations of several carriers. Earlier this year, Carr proposed that the FCC use its equipment authorization process to safeguard against security threats.

The FCC initiated a proceeding to accomplish that in June. The call for action marked another step in his efforts to address the threats posed by Communist China.

Infrastructure stocks rally after Biden Infrastructure Plan passes

President Joe Biden speaks about the bipartisan infrastructure bill in the State Dinning Room of the White House, Saturday, Nov. 6, 2021, in Washington.

Andrew Moran THE EPOCH TIMES

The S&P 500 closed above 4,700 Nov. 8, recording a fresh record high after Congress approved President Joe Biden’s infrastructure spending proposal. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq composite also touched new all-time highs.

During a raucous Nov. 5 on Capitol Hill, the House of Representatives passed a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill. The legislation, which received a final vote of 228–206, now heads to President Biden’s desk for his signature.

“We took a monumental step forward as a nation,” President Biden told reporters Nov. 6. “We did something that’s long overdue … a once-in-a-generation investment that’s going to create millions of jobs modernizing infrastructure, our roads, our bridges, our broadband, all range of things.”

The infrastructure component of the president’s Build Back Better agenda includes $550 billion in new federal spending. Republicans and Democrats agreed to allocate $110 billion for highways and roads, $66 billion for passenger and freight rail, $7.5 billion for electric vehicle charging stations, $25 billion for airports, and $65 billion to modernize the power grid.

Despite the back-and-forth between the moderate and progressive wings of the Democratic Party, the bill was passed, sending institutional and retail traders into a buying frenzy.

Investors poured into industrials and materials stocks to kick off the trading week. Caterpillar shares jumped 4.07%, Asphalt maker Astec Industrials soared close to 15%, U.S. Steel picked up 2.7%, construction materials provider Vulcan Materials rose 4.95%, and steelmaker Nucor advanced 3.6%.

United Rentals, the world’s largest equipment rental company also enjoyed a modest gain of 0.21%.

ChargePoint Holdings, the biggest U.S. electric vehicle charging company based on market capitalization, surged nearly 12%.

Traders’ bets on the vast spending spree on America’s infrastructure also supported industry-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs), including the Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF (PAVE), rising 1.29%. Yearto-date, PAVE has risen about 21%. The investment security’s top holdings consist of Nucor, Emerson Electric Co, Eaton Corp PLC and Kansas City Southern.

Base metals also climbed during the Nov. 8 trading session. Copper on the New York Mercantile Exchange settled 0.86% higher, while London Metal Exchange aluminum finished up 1.9%. NYMEX palladium rose 3.29%, and platinum inched 1.99% higher.

This also fueled gains in commodity stocks, including Freeport McMoRan, tacking on 6.45%.

Alcoa, the eighth largest producer of aluminum that operates in 10 countries, increased by 2.15%.

What market analysts are saying Market strategists were bullish on the infrastructure package, predicting its broader impact on the U.S. economy.

“Investors have waited for a significant step-up in infrastructure spending for decades, and from Obama’s ‘shovel-ready projects’ to Trump’s ‘infrastructure week’ they have largely been disappointed,” Citi analysts, including Anthony Pettinari, said in a note. “Accordingly, we view this generational investment as a significant catalyst for growth for a number of our stocks.”

Philip Ng, an equity research analyst at Jefferies, wrote that many infrastructure-related companies could enjoy strong earnings growth for many years, with some firms and investors poised for seven years of gains.

“The bill increases highway funding by 50% over the next five years, and we estimate it could increase [aggregate shipments of construction materials] by ~9% over five years from late 2022/ early 2023,” Ng stated.

The measures inside the bill could further nudge American consumers toward greater electric vehicle adoption, too.

“The EV component of the Biden Infrastructure plan only buoys the EV adoption curve in the U.S. over the coming years,” wrote Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives in a note Nov. 7.

But Chinese and U.S. inflation could threaten to derail benchmark indexes’ tremendous performances.

“U.S. indices continue flirting with all-time high levels following a surprise NFP read, the approval of Biden’s $550 billion spending bill, and the discovery of an oral COVID treatment from Pfizer,” explained Ipek Ozkardeskaya, a Senior Analyst at Swissquote, in a note. “But inflation worries come to overshadow the Monday optimism in the run up to the most recent Chinese and U.S. inflation data release due Wednesday, which should reveal a further rise in producer and consumer prices.”

Rise of the Retail Investor Financial markets in 2021 have been dominated by armchair investors, influencing the movement of many different stocks. The rally in infrastructure-related equities further highlighted how much of a significant role retail traders play in the current marketplace.

Typically, professional investors will load up on a stock before something bullish takes place and then unload those shares when the news breaks. This would cause newcomers who bought into the latest developments to suffer tremendous losses. In this marketplace, it has become different.

Jim Cramer, the former hedge fund manager and host of CNBC’s “Mad Money,” alluded to Nucor as “too obvious for the pros.”

However, as Cramer noted Nov. 8, retail traders bought into the good news and could continue buying the positive trends.

“It’s a new world, more straightforward, less pessimistic, and you ignore this optimism at your own peril,” he added. “Individual investors have a lot of power.”

The rise of the retail army formed during the early days of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic, according to a Charles Schwab survey released in April. The poll found that 15% of current retail investors started their investing journey last year, prompting the financial institution to dub them “Generation Investor.”

Although retail investing has slowed during the economic recovery, Goldman Sachs analysts said in June that they think the retail crowd will remain prevalent during the present boom.

“High cash balances and continued retail participation in equity markets should bolster household equity demand,” said the investment bank’s chief U.S. equity strategist David Kostin. “The trade-off households face between equities and other asset classes favors equities through year-end given anemic money market and credit yields. Additionally, any

signs of a sustained increase in inflation would favor equities over bonds or cash.”

Questions about what’s next for US markets The U.S. government will release consumer inflation numbers for October Nov. 10. The market is penciling in an annual inflation rate of 5.8%. If accurate, this would be up from the 5.4% reading in September.

Should inflation strengthen, it could revive speculation that the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates earlier than previously anticipated.

Last week, Fed Chair Jerome Powell told reporters during a news conference that the central bank can remain patient on interest rates, adding that it could respond if needed. However, as inflation swells amid growing wages and skyrocketing food and energy prices, market observers believe the first rate hike could happen in the second half of 2022, according to the CME FedWatch Tool.

During the November Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) policy meeting, officials approved tapering the organization’s pandemic-era $120-billion-a-month asset-buying program. It plans to wind down the stimulus and relief initiative by the summer of next year.

Analysts at the Bank of America forecast Federal Reserve pull-

ing the trigger on five rate hikes, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022. A CNBC Fed Survey revealed that 60% think inflation is high enough to prompt the central bank to move on rates sooner than previously predicted. In addition, a Bloomberg News survey of economists between Oct. 22 and 27 revealed that the benchmark interest rates could rise to 0.75% in the middle of 2023.

The Federal Reserve’s dot-plot, an economic forecast of Fed Board members and presidents, will be updated in December. The previous dot-plot highlighted that half of the officials expected rate hikes late next year, while the other half anticipated rate normalization in late 2023.

“Although Chair Powell maintains the Fed can be patient with regards to rate hikes, with measures of underlying inflation and wages intensifying and broadening, the clock is ticking on how long it can hold that line,” ANZ analysts said in a note.

Could the U.S. economy endure rate hikes? Market experts are pointing to the strong October jobs report, growing automobile sales, and robust activity in the services sector.

“We are on the train to normal,” said Kristina Hooper, the chief global market strategist at Invesco.

MVUSD announces leadership retirements and subsequent administrative changes

MURRIETA – After serving for 35 years in education and 10 years as superintendent, Patrick Kelley, superintendent of Murrieta Valley Unified School District, announced his retirement at the end of the school year.

“Under Superintendent Kelley’s leadership, Murrieta Valley USD consistently was recognized as the top district in the county, and one of the few designated ‘California Exemplary District’ in the state.

He led the district with wisdom, compassion, strength, fairness and deeply cared for the Murrieta community” board President Linda Lunn said. “Even though Mr. Kelley is remaining local in his retirement, he will be dearly missed at the district.”

In an open letter to the community, Kelley said that he never imagined the “true blessing” that MVUSD and the community would bring to him and his family “I am so very excited to serve our wonderful community in other ways,” Kelley said. “My wife and I love this community and will continue to live here.”

The Board of Education Trustees will discuss the process for recruiting the next superintendent

at its board meeting Thursday, Nov. 18.

Also, this week Mary Walters, assistant superintendent of educational services, announced her intention to retire at the end of the school year.

“The mission of MVUSD is to inspire every student to think, to learn, to achieve and to care. I have been a part of this mission for 31 years, and I am proud to have led teams of educational professionals who truly have inspired generations of Murrieta students,” Walters said in a letter to MVUSD staff. “After 36 years in education, I have decided to retire at the end of the school year.”

Walters’ retirement provides an opportunity to initiate the next wave of administrative assignments.

Faythe Mutchnick-Jayx will now fill the role of assistant superintendent of educational services and Joe Parla will become executive director of elementary education.

As the assistant superintendent of educational services, Mutchnick-Jayx will oversee the four divisions that make up educational services including special

education, elementary education, secondary education and student support, as well as supervise the administration of curriculum for the district’s 22 school sites. Additionally, she will be responsible for developing the annual Local Control Accountability Plan and parent engagement advisory committees.

Mutchnick-Jayx is currently the executive director of elementary education and was previously principal of Lisa J. Mails Elementary School and assistant principal of Vista Murrieta High School.

Before working at MVUSD, she worked as an assistant principal in Chicago and Wisconsin as well as a middle and high school teacher in Wisconsin. She has 25 years in education, with 16 of those years at MVUSD. She holds a bachelor’s degree in secondary education and English language arts from University of Wisconsin and a master’s degree in administrative leadership from the University of Wisconsin. Mutchnick-Jayx is a current MVUSD parent and along with her family is a Murrieta Valley resident.

SALT LAKE CITY – While the COVID-19 pandemic has had impacts on college enrollment around the world, the University of Utah increased enrollment and continues its record-setting streak.

This includes a turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, potatoes, gravy, veggies and pumpkin pie, all ready for the family to cook their way.

We hope this softens the holiday burden a little and provides a little cheer to our local families,” Haley said.

“It was a lot of fun,” Tara Butchart, dressed as Joan of Arc, said. “I think us adults had at least as much fun as the children. The plan next year is to coordinate with the town and do it the same night. We want this fun event open to all. Robert did a great job pulling it together so quickly; I know it will be even bigger and better next year.”

The All Hallows Eve has extensive roots within the church.

It falls Oct. 31 every year, and is

the day before All Hallows’ Day, also known as All Saints’ Day in the Christian calendar. The Church traditionally held a vigil on All Hallows’ Eve when parishioners would prepare themselves with prayers and fasting before the feast day itself.

“We had such a good time, this will be bigger and better next year,” Heltmach said.

All about turkeys

A female turkey, or hen, has more subdued wattles than the male, called a tom.

Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

Turkeys are popular, whether for their apparent lack of intelligence, pretty feathers, tastiness or how clever their wild relatives can be. Turkeys have an important place in the history of our country as well as on our holiday dinner tables.

The common turkey, Meleagris gallopavo, is an indigenous game bird of North America and lives over a wide range of habitats in the United States.

Turkeys were domesticated by the First Peoples of pre-Columbian Mexico in ancient times for their eggs, feathers and meat.

Upon their discovery by the Spaniards, turkeys crossed the Atlantic, bound for Spain in about 1519.

From Spain they were transported throughout Europe, coming to England in the 1540s.

As the big birds became popular in England, English colonists introduced European-bred turkey breeds to eastern North America in the 1700s. These birds were mainly kept for their pretty plumage until about 1935, after which emphasis changed to selectively breeding for the table.

Today, the common wild turkeys found in Mexico and in the southeastern and southwestern U.S. are basically dark-colored, with iridescent bronze and greenish feathers. Male turkeys, called toms, have a naked, bumpy head that is normally bright red in color but turns to white overlaid with bright blue when the bird gets excited.

Toms also have a long red, fleshy ornament called a snood that grows from the forehead and

“He never missed a game,” Hope Adams said.

Adams also ran the World Champion Team Penning Association for more than a decade, as well as organizing and running the Anza Lion’s Club Gymkhana every September during the same period of time. He gave of himself to make sure these events and others he was involved in were the best they could be for the community and its residents.

dangles over the beak. Mature males also sport wattles growing from the neck and a tuft of coarse black hairlike feathers called a beard that protrudes from their breast.

Male wild turkeys can weigh as much as 22 pounds. Female turkeys, called hens, are about half as heavy as the toms and have much less decoration on their heads and throats. Both sexes of domesticated strains are selectively bred to be much heavier than their wild relatives.

Roast turkey in Europe and America has long been a customary Christmas main course. In the U.S. the birds are also standard fare for Thanksgiving feasts. Turkey production has thus tended to be seasonal, according to holiday market demands.

Credit for the Thanksgiving turkey dinner is usually given to Sarah Joseph Hale, the “Godmother of Thanksgiving,” whose writings of New England feasts emphasized roast turkey and became the norm for the festivities followed by others after Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863. Benjamin Franklin famously declared the turkey superior to the bald eagle as the national bird.

“I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country; he is a bird of bad moral character; like those among men who live by sharking and robbing, he is generally poor, and often very lousy. The turkey is a much more respectable bird,” Franklin wrote in a letter to Sarah Bache Jan. 26, 1784.

Turkeys used to be driven to market like herds of cattle. Thankfully, this is no longer necessary.

“Bill was well-respected, kind, and a generous and giving man who did everything for the community, not for himself,” Hope Adams said. “He loved the co-op and what it stood for and saw it as a part of the community in every way, not just as a utility but as an integral and vital part of the community and the lives of its residents.”

A new Anza substation is being named after Billy Adams. Hope Adams said she’s looking forward to the day when the substation is dedicated in his honor and with it,

This tom turkey is showing off for the camera, displaying his impressive tail fan.

The fleshy part over a tom turkey’s beak is called a snood.

The modern commercial meat turkey barely walks at all, being raised in enclosed areas and thus encouraged to be soft and tender.

Many different breeds of turkey now exist, with corresponding color differences. The reddish glint of the bourbon red birds contrasts with the black and white Royal Palms. There are even buffcolored breeds being developed.

Turkeys are fascinating and quite interesting to interact with.

They are popular backyard poultry choices for small ranches, as they are easy to raise, feed and house.

They are also very delicious.

The preparation of the holiday bird has been known to make or break entire families. The pressure to present the perfectly fried, roasted or smoked entree can be overwhelming, especially to first timers.

Recipes and methods may be handed down from generation to

generation and young cooks are expected to follow the instructions correctly. Embarrassment erupts when the meat is dry and tasteless.

Whether hanging out with or eating turkeys, these interesting birds will surely be on everyone’s minds this holiday season.

COURTS & CRIMES

Felon accused of stabbing two on New Year’s to stand trial City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A felon accused of stabbing two men during an unprovoked attack on New Year’s Day near a Lake Elsinore intersection must stand trial for attempted murder and other charges, a judge ruled Thursday, Nov. 4 Andrew Ernest Avila, 29, of Lake Elsinore allegedly committed the assault near Lakeshore Drive and Spring Street, Jan. 1, 2021.

Following a preliminary hearing at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta, Riverside County Superior Court Judge F. Paul Dickerson found there was sufficient evidence

to warrant a trial on two counts of attempted murder and one count of mayhem, along with sentenceenhancing deadly weapon and great bodily injury allegations.

Dickerson scheduled a postpreliminary hearing arraignment for Nov. 18 and left Avila’s bail set at $5 million.

He’s being held at the Cois M. Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta.

According to sheriff’s Sgt. Jeff Reese, the attack happened in the middle of the afternoon, when the defendant allegedly confronted the victims, whose identities were not released, for unspecified reasons, pulling a knife and inflicting multiple puncture wounds on both men.

Witnesses called 911, as Avila allegedly fled the scene, according to the sergeant. He said that the victims were taken to Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar, where they were treated for life-threatening injuries and eventually recovered.

Patrol deputies were unable to immediately locate the assailant.

However, within a few days, detectives obtained leads indicating where he might be, culminating in Avila’s Jan. 7 arrest on North Main Street in Lake Elsinore, according to Reese.

According to court records, the defendant has previous convictions for assault with a deadly weapon and carrying a concealed weapon.

Man wanted in several states flees deputies, but finally captured City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A 34-year-old parolee with warrants for his arrest in several states was apprehended after initially eluding sheriff’s deputies, who ultimately caught him driving on a San Jacinto street, authorities said Tuesday, Nov. 2.

Mark Anthony McKay was arrested and booked into the Smith Correctional Facility in Banning Monday on suspicion of felony evading, parole violations and outof-state warrants. Bail information was not immediately available.

According to Riverside County sheriff’s Sgt. Anthony Pelato,

about 10 a.m. Monday, patrol deputies were called to the area of Conrad and Hemmingway places to investigate reports that a wanted fugitive, identified as McKay, was in the neighborhood.

When deputies arrived, they encountered the suspect in a 2012 Ford Fusion with Arkansas license plates and attempted to stop him, Pelato said.

He said McKay floored the vehicle, and a chase ensued. McKay allegedly drove to a vacant property at 480 Jonnie Way and bailed out of the four-door sedan, according to the sergeant.

Deputies swarmed the location and established a perimeter around

the uninhabited house, believing McKay might be hiding inside, Pelato said.

A SWAT unit was summoned and conducted a search of the home, but found nothing.

Hours later, deputies stopped a vehicle for suspected traffic violations near the intersection of Lake Park Drive and Ramona Expressway and McKay was found at the wheel, the sergeant said.

The felon identified himself and was taken into custody without further incident, Pelato said.

In addition to alleged parolerelated offenses in California, McKay is wanted in Arkansas and Texas, according to Pelato.

Man admits repeatedly molesting Lake Elsinore girl City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A 28-year-old man accused of repeatedly molesting a Lake Elsinore girl pleaded guilty Tuesday, Nov. 2, to multiple counts of lewd acts on a child.

Geovanni Arturo Mendoza admitted committing at least four lewd acts on a child under 14 years old and distributing pornography to a minor.

The plea was made directly to Riverside County Superior Court Judge Judith Clark, without input from the District Attorney’s Office.

No charges were dismissed.

Clark indicated a likely sentence of 12 years in state prison and lifetime sex offender registration for Mendoza. She scheduled a sentencing hearing for Wednesday,

Dec. 8, at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta and ordered Mendoza held without bail at the nearby Cois M. Byrd Detention Center. His previous bail was set at $1 million.

Mendoza was arrested in November 2020 following a monthlong sheriff’s investigation.

In early October 2020, the girl, whose name was not disclosed, and her family told detectives that Mendoza had sexually abused her on numerous occasions going back to January 2012, according to sheriff’s Sgt. Julio Olguin.

The offenses were mostly perpetrated at a residence in the 18000 block of Tereticornis Avenue, near 11th Street, Olguin said.

Detectives began an investigation that uncovered sufficient evidence to warrant charges against

the defendant, who was taken into custody without incident in Lake Elsinore, according to Olguin.

Details regarding the acts and Mendoza’s connection to the victim were not released.

Mendoza had no documented previous felony convictions in Riverside County.

Menifee man suspected of sexually assaulting teen City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A 47-year-old Menifee man suspected of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl he possibly met through a local church, where he may have contacted other teens, posted a $60,000 bond and was released from custody this week.

Noel Ramos was arrested and booked into the Cois M. Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta Tuesday, Nov. 2, on suspicion of lewd acts on a minor. According to Capt. Dave Gutierrez of the Menifee Police Department, detectives initiated an investigation of Ramos in October following allegations by the victim, whose identity was not released, that he had assaulted her “on several oc-

casions at his Menifee residence within the last year.”

Sufficient evidence was garnered to justify a search warrant, which was served at the suspect’s property in the 32800 block of Heversham Court, Gutierrez said.

Ramos was arrested without incident. The suspect’s relationship to the victim, and the circumstances that led to the two of them being alone together were not disclosed.

“Ramos is a prominent church member of Iglesia Cristiana Armonia Y Garcia in Hemet,” Gutierrez said. “Detectives are trying to find out more information or talk to other potential victims.”

Anyone with information was asked to contact investigators at 951-677-4964.

Perris woman accused of killing her newborn makes first court appearance City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A 31-year-old woman accused of killing her newborn and discarding the baby in a Perris trash receptacle made her initial court appearance Thursday, Nov. 4.

Brittany Suzanne Peevyhouse of Perris was arrested Friday, Oct. 29, following a monthslong Riverside County Sheriff’s Department investigation. Peevyhouse, who is charged with murder, appeared before Superior Court Judge Gail O’Rane, who appointed the woman a public defender and scheduled her arraignment for Friday, Nov. 19, at the Riverside Hall of Justice.

Peevyhouse is being held in lieu of $1 million bail at the Robert Presley Jail. According to sheriff’s Sgt. Michael Hamilton, the

defendant was identified following a nine-month homicide investigation that began immediately after the infant was discovered in the 1700 block of Goetz Road, near Ellis Avenue.

Hamilton said passersby found the baby on the afternoon of Jan. 22 “discarded in the trash” at the location and called 911. An autopsy revealed that the child was not stillborn but died of trauma, though the details were not disclosed.

Hamilton said the “parents” were both allegedly involved, but only the mother, Peevyhouse, was taken into custody. The father’s identity and possible whereabouts were not provided. Peevyhouse has no documented previous felony or misdemeanor convictions in Riverside County.

OSHA, the new Gestapo

Julie Reeder PUBLISHER

Merrium Webster defines Fascism as “a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition,” or (2) “a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control.”

What do you have when your president mandates things that are unconstitutional and illegal and has a host of unelected agencies to enforce his dictates?

A federal court last summer told President Biden that his rental eviction moratorium mandates were illegal, but he pushed forward anyway. Last weekend a federal appeals court panel stayed the vaccine mandate for businesses with over 100 employees citing “grave statutory and constitutional issues.”

Twenty-seven states are fighting the same mandate as well as many private businesses and organizations who don’t believe it’s constitutional or ethical for the government to force private companies to discriminate and fire their employees who decide not to take the jab. Personal health freedom is gone. Free enterprise is wobbling. It’s being enforced by unelected bureaucrats and federal agencies rather than local law enforcement who won’t comply. Big Tech is suppressing information and nightly news is in lock step.

Small businesses are next. They

can say, “Well it doesn’t apply to me, so I won’t protest. History has shown us that it’s done in steps.

We, as small businesses, are next.

Never mind that the latest studies showing the efficacy wanes over several months down to as little as 13%, unlike the natural immunity. So to be fully vaccinated you will for sure need regular boosters.

The Biden administration has told businesses to essentially ignore the laws and the federal courts and obey the government mandate. Maybe they will just pack the Supreme Court.

What amazes me is the outright disregard for what is legal. Politicians used to sneak around to accomplish their illegal activities in the dark. Like Watergate, the Russia Hoax, etc. Now they blatantly in the open dictate illegal demands on people and businesses. They will fine businesses $14,000 for each violation and more.

During the pandemic businesses spent an unprecedented amount of money and resources to keep their employees and customers safe and the government spent unprecedented amounts of money, starting with the Trump administration, with bipartisan support to help employers keep employees in their jobs and now we’re driving employees away from their jobs.

It doesn’t make sense and it’s not following the science or the law.

But following the law isn’t always respected. Regular decent people couldn’t believe it when defunding the police was actually supported. Decent people couldn’t believe it when the Hollywood types and Kamala Harris and progressive Democrats raised money to free the rioters with bail money.

What message does that send? It encourages them to return to riot, beat and kill people. Any good parent knows that.

Now they are encouraging the cartels and millions from all over the world to break the law and continue to stream across our border, not only for amnesty, the right to vote, education and health care but now with cash bonuses of up to $450,000 for each person that is separated from their minor.

When in custody minors, by law I believe, are separated from adults

(to avoid abuse) If the average American makes $50k a year and pays $10k a year in taxes, it will take 45 years for an average American to pay one of those awards.

It’s unchecked and unsustainable.

All of it.

Now the Army Corps of Engineers is studying another major pipeline to shut down like the Keystone pipeline. This again, decreases jobs and increases our dependence on other countries to supply us at a greater expense when we were energy dependent already.

And it’s all at a time when our supply chains are already challenged. Truck drivers who spend most of the time on the road and don’t want to be forced to get a jab will continue to quit.

We will have increased health care worker shortages and public safety problems. Companies will not be able to produce their products and services with less employees.

And it’s all just before Christmas. Couldn’t be worse timing for the economy, our families, or travelers with pilot shortages and trying to get through TSA at the airports.

It is clear government overreach and weakens our country.

Will the government now put all those people back on unemployment when we were all just starting to get back on our feet? How much will that cost fewer businesses and taxpayers who are left to foot all the bills?

Remember the fascism definition that includes forcible suppression of opposition? We think we have freedom of speech for now, but last week Project Veritas, a group that does real undercover journalism with whistleblowers in many companies and agencies, was raided by the FBI. Project Veritas was offered and given a diary of President Biden’s daughter by a tipster, supposedly with “explosive” allegations about Biden.

Project Veritas did their due diligence. They could not verify it was Ashly Biden’s diary, so they tried to return it to the attorney representing the tipster and then actually gave the diary to law enforcement to ensure it could be returned to its rightful owner. It

FAITH

Do you still eat baby food?

Zachary Elliott SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Gerber has a baby food puree flavor called “Chicken and Gravy.”

It’s essentially liquid chicken with the consistency of applesauce.

Doesn’t that sound delicious?

Imagine for a second that your friends invited you over for dinner and to watch the game. You walk in and see some glasses of warm milk on the counter and jars of Gerber “Chicken and Gravy.” It sounds like a party, doesn’t it?

Or maybe it sounds more like the end of a friendship? Either way, it doesn’t sound good.

As ridiculous as it might seem to eat baby food and drink warm milk after the age of one, it’s equally absurd to live our entire lives on spiritual baby food. Yet, that’s what many are doing.

The apostle Paul struggled with this same issue while ministering to the churches in the first century.

He said, “We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make

it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food. Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil,” in Hebrews 5:11-14.

God never intended you to stay a spiritual baby. He wants you to grow.

“Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever,” in 2 Peter 3:18.

And it’s essential that you do so.

Your ability to distinguish good from evil depends on it.

Here are two key areas all Christians need to grow in if they’re going to get past the baby food stage.

Grow in the knowledge of God’s word.

People know a lot of meaningless information. But do you know the word of God? Your knowledge of God’s word is absolutely essential if you’re going to get to the meat stage of your spiritual growth.

Proverbs 4:22 said that the words in scripture are “life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body,” in Proverbs 4:22. Growing in your knowledge of God’s word has physical and spiritual benefits.

That’s why you should “do your

best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth,” in 2 Timothy 2:15.

Grow in godliness.

One of the best ways to understand godliness is to understand what it is not.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 tells us, “There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.”

Godliness is simply demonstrating your faith in Jesus by becoming more like him and living and acting according to his word.

My guess is that you’ve exercised at some point in life or have had to do training at work. Right?

Now it’s time to train in godliness.

1 Timothy 4:8 said that “physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.”
