Volunteers from Rolling For A Cause drop off bagged meals to Temecula Valley Hospital.

Lexington Howe STAFF WRITER

Murrieta resident Dave Bohorquez is partnering with two other southwest Riverside County

residents to help rally the community in bringing meals to hospital workers around the valley.

Bohorquez said he first felt called to help alongside his wife.

“We quickly realized that the

need was much greater than we could personally handle,” he said.

One of Bohorquez’s neighbors is in health care, and he’d ask him how it was going in the hospitals, to see if it was really as bad as

A drive-thru clinic was held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 16, at Lake Elsinore Storm tadium and lines of cars filled the parking lot early in the day waiting for the vaccination shot.

“The clinics will provide vaccines free of charge, however those who show up must register before arrival, have an appointment, and show proof of eligibility ( badge, business identification, letter of proof from employer) ,” according to a news release issued by Riverside County. “Medical insurance information will be requested.

With old Marie Callender’s gone, property is ready for someone to breathe new life into it Will Fritz ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Temecula’s old Marie Callender’s is no more, but the owners of the centrally located real estate the restaurant once sat on are in search of a new business or businesses to put the property to some use.

Local residents may have noticed the building that once housed the pie-focused restaurant chain across the street from the Temecula Duck Pond being demolished the week of Jan. 4. Now, an empty pad is all that remains of what was once a familiar landmark to those exiting the freeway at Rancho California Road.

The building had been empty for some time – Marie Callender’s closed its Temecula restaurant in April 2019 amid bankruptcy and restructuring that left more than two dozen other locations shutWORKERS f rom

tered across California, Nevada and Utah.

The owners of the site, which was leased by Marie Callender’s, are now looking for new tenants.

There has been significant interest in the corner and we have been in conversations with some very high-quality users over the past several months but ha e yet to find the ideal fit, cott orest, senior ice president at WestMar Commercial Brokerage, which is marketing the property, said. “This is a major and important intersection in the city of Temecula, being in the center of town and entrance to Wine Country, the owners want to make sure we find the right long-term user The property is zoned for highway/ tourist commercial uses, which Forest said could allow for another restaurant, retail stores, medical or professional o ces and other types

of businesses to move in.

The previously existing restaurant building was torn down, Forest said, because it was outdated and not designed e ciently as it relates to footprints of new sit-down restaurants or redevelopment as a multi-tenant commercial building.”

The old restaurant structure was about 25 years old, he said.

“The property owners took the initiative of removing the vacant building to not only get a head start for when they find a tenant, but also to deter vandalism and any potential issues for the community,” Forest said. “In addition, the site shows much better from a marketing standpoint as a cleared pad.”

The building is being marketed for ground lease or build-to-suit, Forest said. Anyone interested in the property may contact WestMar Commercial Real Estate at 951-

his neighbor’s response changed.

“As soon as I saw his face, I knew it was bad,” Bohorquez said. “We sat outside and talked, and he just told me how dejected everybody was, morale was really low, it’s di cult for the health care workers there s so many different factions at play here.”

He said it began to bother him.

“The common story ( with nurses) was they understand why people are upset, but the backlash and the going out in public and everybody saying this is a joke, it was hurtful to them, because yes they signed up for this but nobody ever imagined they would witness something like they’re seeing right now,” he said.

Bohorquez and his wife decided they would help their friends with a few nights of meals.

“We weren’t sure how much we could cater, but it turned out some of the meals weren’t near as much as we thought it was, so it ended up being fi e nights of food , he said. “On Christmas Eve, we were busy that night, so I contacted two of the local Stadiums and they delivered pizzas for lunch and pizzas for dinner.”

When restaurants began to pitch in, Bohorquez said he felt obligated to acknowledge them in the community.

“Then what happened was I started getting all these messages,” Bohorquez said, “...what about housekeeping, well what about this, well what about that and it kind of put a lot of pressure on me.”

He said he thought about it for a week before deciding if they were to continue, he’d need some help.

wings to se eral different hospitals Los Reyes Bar and Grill also contacted them to help.

Paradise Chevrolet Cadillac in Temecula sponsored an In-N-Out food truck to cater to two of the hospitals as well, according to Bohorquez.

After speaking with the hospitals, Bohorquez said their goal was to make sure there was some coordination of people wanting to help, so that they could make sure everyone was getting what they need and their efforts were not being o erdone “If you’re trying to bring a meal, coordinate through us or through marketing at the hospital to make sure you’re not going to duplicate your efforts, ohor ue said “This community is incredible, from Temecula all the way out to Murrieta,” O’Neal said, adding that the community just didn’t know, and now that they do, they’re helping.

“I’ll tell you the best part is the businesses, how excited they are to support these front-line workers which we’re referring to them as our super heroes,” O’Neal said. “The look on the faces of the hospital staff when you walk in with snacks or food...I handed an EMT a bag of snacks and he said, ‘ That’s for us? ’ “I think there’s so much that goes on where they are so underappreciated, that at a time when they really need a boost, I think this is important,” O’Neal said.

Hawthorne said she saw the need and umped in with her nonprofit Rolling for a Cause.

“We have done so many good things even though we have had this nonprofit for less than a year, she said. “I agreed to go with them and let the money funnel through Rolling For A Cause, and then I am also coordinating with Temecula Valley Hospital.

“We’re paying everything so far ourselves and letting them use the money for the other hospitals that get no food,” Hawthorne said.

They’ve been putting together baggies filled with snacks, she said

“They include protein drinks, Granola bars, those little gummy snacks, little jerky, candy, apples, ( and) tangerines,” Hawthorne said.

“And we thought enough to last a couple days and then we will make another load.”

The coroner s o ce reached out to them as well, Hawthorne said.

“They are not getting love.

They’re not getting any breaks, and they would so appreciate something,” Hawthorne said. “So one of the girls dropped off a big bag of things to sustain all of the staff night and day yesterday.”

Hawthorne’s team of volunteers helps put everything together, and they take turns delivering.

Money, however, is spreading thin, Hawthorne said.

“I don’t know how long we can last with helping but we’re trying,” she said.

For more information, contact K athy O’Neal at https: / / www.facebook.com/ kathy67 09. Anyone who would like to donate funds contact Dot Hawthorne at rollingforacauseca@ gm ail. com or 951-401-1353.

For restaurants that would like to help, contact Dave Bohorquez on Facebook at https: / / www.facebook. com/ dave.bohorquez.

Anyone who would like to deliver a meal on their own, reach out to the hospital staff to ensure another team hasn’t delivered on the day you’re delivering.

They don’t have an end date, according to Bohorquez.

“We’re just looking for people to pitch in, businesses,” he said. “So many people out there are feeling helpless, feeling frustrated, you watch the news and everything looks doom and gloom. To be able to do something that makes a difference and be able to see a difference can really lift someone’s spirits, so I think in hindsight I would have made it a community effort much sooner than I did.”

Riverside County hosts virtual human trafficking conference Jeff Pack STAFF WRITER

Touching on a wide variety of topics relating to human tra cking and the prevention of human tra cking in i erside County, the 2021 Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children Virtual Conference was hosted by Riverside County DPSS – Children’s Services Monday, Jan. 11, through Thursday, Jan. 14.

The e ent kicked off with a keynote speech by Ashley Hanson, a senior transition age youth peer support specialist with RUHS-Behavioral Health who was a survivor of commercial sexual exploitation.

She shared her experience of recovery and laid out how in 2019, Hanson obtained her bachelor’s degree in sociology and is due to graduate with her master’s degree in social work from California Baptist University April 2021.

“Who knew that was meant to be my journey being here as a peer support as a parent partner,” Hanson said. “It wasn’t until my life experiences gave other parents and other youth hope that finally GRANTS f rom

masks during the special presentation.

The city in past months has offered other $5,000 grants to other businesses applying for the grants because of economic hardship, but the latest event brought members of the city council to personally present the owners the check.

Upon receiving the checks, each of the owners praised the city s special efforts to help keep their businesses going in some of the hardest economic times ever experienced by them in the past 10 months of the coronavirus pandemic. Due to the pandemic, each of them either close down or severely restrict their services because of customers staying home for fear of catching the virus or because of county and state COVID-19 mandates and Riverside County Medical Examiners orders.

Dr. Nicolas Walworth from Menifee Lakes Optometry in the Menifee Ralph’s Center on Antelope oad was first that day to

realized that I was meant to go through all those things. Getting to provide services within RUHS has given every single experience that I’ve gone through meaning and purpose. I’ve been able through my own recovery to heal from those wounds and learn the skills that I need when things get tough.

“Always try to remember. It’s not going to happen right away most of the time, all the time, actually.

My experience is completely different from all the youths I’ve ever worked with. The things that we have in common are the feelings.

Maybe not the experiences, maybe not the verbiage, but what we do have in common is the shame and guilt.

“That’s why it’s so vital that we just meet them where they’re at,” she said.

Clayton Cranford, owner of Cybersafetycop.com, gave a presentation entitled “Social Media & Y outh: Threats and Solutions,” explaining current technology and applications that youth are using to access the internet and social media networks.

“Parents are like ‘ I don’t know

how to talk about it, I don’t know what it is and when I talk about it I feel kind of done talking about it,’” Cranford said. “One of the goals that I have is to empower parents so that they know how to do this successfully. A lot of the problems they have is because kids don’t feel safe to go to mom and dad and ask for help because they’re pretty sure mom and dad will take everything away o, they d rather suffer than lose the connectivity to all of their friends in the entire world. nd sometimes that suffering includes being trafficked, being sexually exploited. I have lots of stories, real stories about real families and parents and children where we have a kid going from your average happy-go-lucky kid and the parents saying, ‘ Something happened over the summer. I just saw my child withdraw and hide and get depressed, and I do know how to help my kid.’

“And later they found out that the child had been sexually exploited online and extorted with a nude image that they shared. A bad choice and now the thing is hanging over their head and they’re being

Walworth said he didn’t know at first after applying that he was to be selected for one of the grants but was very pleased to learn he was one of those chosen in the Phase 4 grants.

“It has been very hard the last couple of months, and I am surprised and grateful.” Walworth said.

He has been in business for the past 10 years in Menifee and when COVID-19 hit, he said it was definitely scary e said he lost some of his employees during the pandemic as two chose not to come back, but his o ce has returned to eight employees with the grant.

Z immerman said the council is continuing to focus on helping the community’s small businesses during the pandemic and provide financial help to those with the greatest need through the grant program and money provided by

the city by the California CARES Act. “This is an opportunity for the city to help our businesses remain iable during these di cult times when their staff are laid off, ha ing a di cult time paying rent and utilities. So it’s important to us to make sure that all our businesses remain viable,” Z immerman said.

The city o cials and ci ic club representatives made their second stop for the afternoon at J’s Barber Shop in the Bradley Business Center on Bradley Road to present a check to owner James K onrad.

The check presenters were joined by Menifee’s newest District 1 councilmember Bob K arwin, who presented another $5,000 check to K onrad. K arwin’s law o ces are ne t to s arber hop, and he has known K onrad as a fellow business owner for many years.

extorted to do things online for a predator. That is not an unusual story,” he said.

Cranford talked about cyberbullying and other online threats that are defined with current trends and real-world examples. Finally, he gave participants tools and an action plan that they can immediately begin using.

“What predators are looking for, they’re looking for someone who is vulnerable,” Cranford said. “A child that is emotionally needy, isolated, needy or lacks self-confidence and frankly that describes every child at one point in their life. This is typically every kid, and that’s why I’ve had cases where kids were being e ploited and tra cked in a nice home, in a nice family in South Orange County. With two parents in there and all the advantages that a child could want, right? Money, access to education, all the things that a child could need and want.

Parents need to understand that some are more vulnerable than others and that it could be your kid too,” he said.

Also speaking at the event was Dr. K atarina Rosenblatt, author of

“Stolen,” highlighting her experiences as a 13-year-old runaway who became part of a prostitution ring from which she narrowly escaped with her life; Opal Singleton, president of Million K ids, and Norma Vazquez, director of anti-human tra cking programs for peration SafeHouse.

“It is a challenge to get people to collaborate, to become aware,” Rosenblatt said. “But most tips come from the general public. If you see something, please say something, because you could be the one to make a difference Over the course of the four days, topics included pimp culture, Marsy’s Law, “Rape Trauma Syndrome: Aftermath,” positive youth development, technology and human tra cking, grooming of children and parents, harm reduction and peer recruitment and more.

It was unclear at press time whether the presentations would be available to view following the event’s conclusion.

J’s Barber Shop out. s arber hop was affected by the pandemic in its first few months when he closed, since his business was not deemed an “essential business” by the state at that time. Now, with the help of the grant he can continue using his COVID-19 safeguards. His chairs are sanitized and separated from each other, and his eight barbers wear masks. Haircuts are available by appointment.

“I’m really grateful for this,” K onrad said. “I’ve been here 21 years.”

In those years, the barber said he has seen the city grow and is confident it will continue to grow despite the pandemic.

The presenters took the next $5,000 check to the Breakfast House Tejabanes in shops at Scott and Haun roads. Accepting the check from Councilmember Matt Leismeyer was restaurant owner Miquel Campus. His family gathered to watch in front of the restaurant.

“It is wonderful to be here,” Campos said, accepting the check.

“We are so grateful.”

He said during the pandemic he lost nearly 50% of his business, but

the grant will help.

“It’s really been hard,” Campos said. “We are getting enough to survive, but I’ve got a little bit saved and I’m using it. But it’s not easy.”

Now that he has the grants, he said he is “excited.”

“Small businesses are the lifeblood of the city, and Miguel is a resident of our city and we want to do whatever we can do to support our residents with our services,” iesemeyer said We definitely need to support our small businesses.”

The final , enifee small business grant presentation was made to Y oung Ahn, the owner of Gallant Medical Supply in the Bel Air Plaza on Encanto Drive.

Businesses applied for the grants and provided information about their needs, and the council and city staff determined who would benefit most from the financial assistance. Menifee continues to assist its many small businesses through a series of special programs that can be reviewed on the city’s webpage and through the chamber of commerce.

Southwest Riverside County Military ffairs Committee launched their first awareness campaign recently.

“We started noticing this trend for the military population in general, both here and other places,” Hildur Sam, marketing coordinator for the Murrieta/ Wildomar Chamber of Commerce, said There s definitely some misconception that should be corrected in the community, and since we have such a large military population regionally, we wanted to find a way to address that The social media campaign “Bring in the Troops” will highlight the benefits of hiring eterans and WILDOMAR f rom

Nigg said “I leaned on Bridgette a lot last year – there are certain things that I tend to focus and there are certain things that she focuses on.

She was right with her ideas more than a few times.”

Each of the council members congratulated her for her work.

“It was my pleasure, anything I can do for Wildomar,” Moore said.

Nigg acknowledged his bosses, James “Tony” Fennell, president of C4 Planning Solutions LLC, and K ristina McCary, president of F2 Systems LLC, for their patience during his term as mayor in 2020.

City clerk Janet Morales received an acknowledgement for being a 10-year employee with the city.

She recently assumed the role after completing her certifications while serving as the acting city clerk for the past several months.

“She is the example of bloom where you’re planted,” Nigg said.

“She has been phenomenal in every role she’s been in with the city. She has not only taken on that role but excelled in that role whatever that may be.”

During the police department report, statistics were reported from October through December, and a member of the police department announced a new captain for the city, Capt. Andrew Elia.

Item 1.6 was pulled from the consent calendar, which dealt with the reading of an ordinance for the Authentic Wildomar Cannabis development agreement.

While voting “no” on the item, Moore explained that her issue was with the amount of cars in the Wildomar Square center already.

“It has nothing to do with use.

military spouses, in hopes to destigmatize common misconceptions.

“We also have our monthly Military First Committee meeting, along with, we’re also a part of the Veterans Business Action Committee, which is a concentration of entrepreneurs in the area that are veterans, and so we’re sending it out to our channel and mostly doing it on social media and then we’ll do some email as well,” Sam said.

Riverside County has a high veteran and active-duty population, according to the Southwest Riverside County ilitary ffairs Committee In a news release about the “Bring in the Troops” campaign, CarMax in Murrieta said that they are “committed to providing career opportunities to our military service members, vetThere’s going to be an extra 200 cars going into the parking lot that is already overcrowded,” she said.

“The center already doesn’t have enough parking and adding 200 cars a day to this parking, it’s hurting the businesses. These businesses are trying to survive a pandemic and now we’re going to make it even harder for their customers to come to them.”

Councilmember Joseph Morabito voted “no” as well after her explanation.

Nigg asked if Moore meant no more businesses should be able to move into that center anyway.

“I’m not saying that at all,” Moore said. “Any business that brings 200 cars a day is going to be a detriment.”

“The lessor is has agreed to this and we’ve got a couple other businesses that are upset about it, but at the end of the day, this is an owner that would like to move forward with a legal and allowed business under that code and under that section,” Mayor Pro Tem Ben Benoit said. “To deny that arbitrarily without some form of tra c stateappointed, some sort of reasonable explanation, I think is wrong. I think we move on this the way we did last time. I understand your concern and I understand the concern of those folks that are there, but the owner would like to move forward with that.”

Nigg argued that the businesses already existing in the center knew what they signed up for. Morabito reiterated that he worried that lack of parking spots will cause cars to spill out into the street.

The voted ended up 3-2.

According to Sam, one of the main goals is to encourage companies to hire veterans, “so that they’re not missing out on talent just because it’s some stereotype or misconceptions that they’ve heard.”

So far, she said they have had positive feedback.

“I do think that the community

here, they’re very positive of everything military and veterans so I do know that they want to be supportive, it’s just a matter of showing them how,” Sam said.

Hemet Council terminates longtime Hemet city attorney with 3-2 vote Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The Hemet City Council following a closed session meeting Tuesday, Jan. 12, and terminated its longtime city attorney Eric. S. Vail from Burke, Williams and Sorensen LLP and named Stephen Graham as the city’s interim city attorney.

There was no further comment from the council about the reason for the firm s termination that e ening In the 3-2 vote, Mayor K arlee Meyer, Mayor Pro Tem Joe Males and Councilmember Malcolm Lilienthal cast “yes” votes. Councilmember Russ Brown and Councilmember Linda K rupa cast “no” votes. The public or media may not attend council closed session meetings when personnel performance or

legal matters are being discussed, but any action taken, if any, must be made public at the conclusion of the meeting.

In previous meetings, several council members expressed concern over the rising costs of litigation facing or settled by the city and questioned the idea of hiring their own city attorney to represent the city.

The former city attorney at the end of their yearly contract requested an increase in the budget to litigate ongoing lawsuits. The council did approve the budget increase. There was no previous action or decision made by the previous sitting city council on the suggestion of the city hiring its own attorney.

Since then, Meyer was reelected to her position on the council and joined by newly elected council-

members Males and Lilienthal.

Brown and K rupa remain on the council for the next two years. The council did vote at the last meeting in December 2020 to name Meyer to the mayor’s position and Males as mayor pro tem for the 2021 year.

In Hemet, the mayor’s position, since it is not an elected position, is appointed by the council by rotation each year.

Another change in the city administration came at the end of the year with interim city clerk Clay James leaving his post and Daryl Bentancur being named as the interim city clerk. He was introduced by city manager Christopher Lopez at the Jan. 12 regular city council meeting.

mously and included the adoption of an ordinance adopting a categorical exception for the establishment of the cannabis business discussed abo e, the ratification of igg and Moore’s nominations to reappointment their current commissioners, Arrin Banks and John Lloyd, to serve on the Planning Commission for another term, and a cooperative funding agreement with the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District for the Bundy Canyon Road Improvement Project not to exceed the amount of $59,226.

The council also conducted a public hearing on the proposed Veterans Wildomar South Inc., cannabis business in Bear Creek Plaza, to adopt a resolution to adopt a categorical exemption in accordance with section 15301 of CEQ A and to approve a conditional use permit for the business, subject to conditions.

The business would be located at Clinton K eith Road and Palomar Street. Associated planner Abdu Lachgar provided the report.

Business owner Daniel Wise also addressed the board.

“Our company was founded about four-and-a-half years ago, we are a veteran-owned and operated company,” Wise said. “We started

as a eteran nonprofit organi ation called Veteran Medical Alternatives.

“We started initially as a nonprofit with the mission of pro iding CBD-based products to veterans to help with PTSD and traumatic brain traumatic brain injuries and other issues that veterans deal with.

With the passing of Proposition 64 in November 2016, it opened up the pathway for us to start conducting more commercial grade developments as the pathway was opened up in cities all across California just like Wildomar is now.

“Our focus primarily is on the veteran community, which is why we started in in San Diego County, which has the highest per capita of veterans in the United States, but very quickly what we’ve noticed is that we noticed that veterans, as pricing has gone up for housing, they’re starting to move further north in the Temecula area and then Murrieta and the Wildomar area. We feel like there’s a need for our services in the city of Wildomar,” he said.

Murrieta/ Wildomar Chamber of Commerce CEO spoke in favor of the project.

The vote was unanimous on approval of the project.

“I think you guys will be really

pleased with our partnership with the community and the benefits that we’re going to bring,” Wise said.

“We’re excited to be a part of it.”

The council also received and filed the C pdate from city manager Gary Nordquist that included a testing site proposal, a report about vaccines opening up to more residents, and a shortage of drivers at CR& R due to COVID-19.

The council also reviewed and considered appro al of the fiscal year 2020-2021 midyear budget report and adopted a resolution for amendments to the budget.

City accounting manager Robert Howell presented the council with minimum hourly wage updates to the position classification, general salary schedules and associate engineer classification description After some discussion on either side of the issue, the council voted on the proposal 4-1 with Morabito in opposition.

The council also voted 4-1 to adopt a resolution authorizing $17 ,500 of budgeted allocation for nonprofit C replacement funding for the fiscal year Morabito voted “no” on the item.

• You may not evict or refuse to renew a lease solely because the tenant or a household member calls emergency services, including 911.

• An arrest on its own is not evidence of a crime. Many people who are arrested later have the charges against them dropped. An eviction or other adverse housing action for criminal activity should be based on a conviction or other substantial evidence that a crime occurred.

• Not all convictions suggest that a person would be a bad tenant. The best way to assess whether an applicant who has a criminal history will be a good tenant is to conduct an individualized assessment of that person’s circumstances, including the nature, severity and recency of each offense, and any evidence of rehabilitation.

If you believe you have been harmed by the City’s Rental Registration and Crime- Free Rental Housing Programs, you may file a complaint with HUD by contacting Nathanael Hill at 415-489-6541 or nathanael.r.hill@ hud.gov.

Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

A new, brightly painted bus rolled into Hemet recently, but it doesn’t belong to the Riverside Transit Authority. The county sent a new state-of-the-art COVID-19 testing bus to Hemet, providing free testing appointments fi e days a week for Hemet and San Jacinto residents.

The bus is staffed with ualified medical technicians and can test up to 500 people each day. It will be parked at the Hemet Library on

Latham Avenue and N. Carmality.

“We’re excited that our community was chosen to house the mobile testing bus. I encourage our residents to take advantage of this incredible resource and continue working toward slowing the spread of COVID-19,” Joe Males, Hemet mayor pro tem, said.

“It is important that we all do our part to slow the spread so that we can get back to business. Our small businesses are still being impacted, so please remember to shop local,” Cyndi Lemke, executive director of the Hemet/

Nurse and assistants check the appointment list for those seeking COVID-19 testing at the Riverside County health bus parked in front of the Hemet Library, 300 E. Latham Ave. and N. Carmalita Street in downtown Hemet.

San Jacinto Valley Chamber of Commerce, said.

The COVID-19 testing being provided by the county will take place Tuesdays through Saturdays.

Anyone being tested should avoid

eating 20 minutes before testing and wear face coverings.

Tests will be available by appointment only and can be scheduled online by visiting https: / / Ihi. care and searching for available

locations in Hemet. Inquiries may be directed to 951-765- 2301.

HHS data shows Southwest Riverside County hospitals still slammed with COVID-19 patients Will Fritz ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Hospitals are continuing to see high levels of coronavirus patients, with two out of three Southwest Riverside County medical centers reporting increases in patients testing positive for COVID-19 in the latest data from the United States Department of Health and Human Services.

According to HHS data released Jan. 10, 56% of patients at Temecula Valley Hospital, 57 % of patients at Southwest Healthcare System, which includes Inland Valley and Rancho Springs medical centers in Wildomar and Murrieta, respectively, and 59% of patients at Loma Linda University Medical Center Murrieta have tested positive for COVID-19 for the week preceding the data dump.

Those percentages are up from 45% for Temecula Valley Hospital and 53% for Southwest Healthcare System in data from the previous week. Loma Linda University Medical Center Murrieta marked a decline in the latest data, having

reported 66% of patients were COVID-19 positive the week before.

There were an average of about 16 more COVID-19-positive adults at Temecula Valley Hospital in the seven days before Jan. 10, about 15 more at Southwest Healthcare System and about one-and-a-half fewer at Loma Linda University Medical Center Murrieta.

Each hospital was at or close to ICU capacity in the week preceding Jan. 3, with an average of 25.7 ICU beds used out of 26.4 at Temecula Valley Hospital, 36.6 out of 36.6 at Southwest Healthcare System and 12.7 out of 18.1 at Loma Linda University Medical Center Murrieta.

The state is o cially reporting the 11-county Southern California region’s available ICU capacity at 0% ; while the recent data show ICUs not quite at full capacity, state o cials and healthcare professionals have said over the course of the pandemic that available staff also play a role in determining ICU space.

Here is a more detailed look at

some of the most recent HHS data on local hospitals: Loma Lind a U niv ersity M ed ical Center M urrieta Total beds ( Seven-day average) : 164 ( unchanged from last week) Total inpatient beds used ( Seven-day average) : 110.9 ( 99 last week) Total adults hospitalized, confirmed C - positi e e en-day average) : 67 .7 ( 69.4 last week) ICU beds ( Seven-day average) : 18.1 ( 18 last week) ICU beds used ( Seven-day average) : 12.7 ( 12.1 last week) S outhwest Healthcare S ystem ( Inland Valley and Rancho S prings med ical centers) Total beds ( Seven-day average) : 268.3 ( 233.7 l ast week) Total inpatient beds used ( Seven-day average) : 234.4 ( 227.9 last week) Total adults hospitalized, confirmed C - positi e e en-day average) : 133.9 ( 118.9 last week)

How adults can take active roles in their health care TEMECULA – Adults play a significant role in their own health care. Adults focused on getting fit may isit arious fitness facilities before signing up for a membership, and individuals who want to improve their diets may spend countless hours poring over healthy recipes and the latest trends in nutrition. Such research pays dividends, and the same commitment can be applied to choosing the right health care services.

Adults who are enrolled in employer-sponsored health insurance plans may feel as though their options are limited in regard to their health care services. There are many ways, however, for patients to get more out of their health care plans.

Shop around for a primary care physician. It’s easy to be overwhelmed when perusing lists of innetwork primary care physicians provided by insurance companies.

Such lists can seem endless, and it can be hard to distinguish one physician from another. Adults in need of new primary care physicians can ask neighbors or family and friends who live nearby for recommendations. It’s important to put the time in when choosing a primary care physician, as people who are comfortable with their physicians are more likely to schedule annual wellness visits or book appointments when they aren’t feeling well. Such visits can be life-saving.

Schedule annual wellness visits.

Annual wellness visits are impor-

Temecula partners with Covid Clinic Inc. to provide additional COVID-19 testing sites in Temecula TEMECULA – Accommodating demand for COVID-19 testing, Temecula is partnering with Covid Clinic Inc. to temporarily provide drive-thru COVID-19 testing to residents at three different city parking lot locations throughout Temecula, including the Margarita Recreation Center at 29119 Margarita Road, Patricia H. Birdsall Sports Park at 32380 Deer Hollow Way and the Temecula Community Center at 28816 Pujol Street.

The Margarita Recreation Center location opened recently and will operate every day from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Appointments are required. To schedule an appointment at the Margarita Recreation Center parking lot location, visit https: / / covidclinic.org/ temeculamargarita-recreation center/ . The drive-thru locations at Patricia H. Sports Park and Temecula Community Center parking are anticipated to open with similar hours Jan. 20.

questions down as they come to you in the weeks leading up to the appointment and don’t hesitate to ask questions during the visit.

Be open and honest with your physician. Concealing behaviors from your physician will negate some of the benefits of isiting the doctor. For example, if you live a largely sedentary lifestyle but tell your doctor you’re physically acti e, they won t offer ad ice on how to make exercise a bigger part of your life. Being open and honest with a physician enables the doctor to give the best medical advice.

Taking an active role in their health care allows adults to improve their overall health and can help them reduce their risk for illness.

dent that wishes to receive this test. n addition, Co id Clinic offers other COVID-19 tests that require payment up front, including rapid results testing at a cost outlined on their website at https: / / covidclinic. org/ testing-sites/ .

“Providing easy access to COVID-19 testing is critical to assist in efforts to contain and mitigate the current COVID-19 surge impacting our hospitals,” Temecula Mayor Maryann Edwards said, “It will help to inform people who test positive to quarantine or isolate themselves to prevent further transmission.

“We are proud to partner with Covid Clinic to bring additional testing sites to convenient locations throughout the city; at least until the impact to our regional health care system subsides,” she said.

Testing is available for those with and without COVID-19 symptoms. Hours and days of operation may change depending on demand.

tant, even for health-conscious individuals who are not experiencing any signs of illness or injury.

Regular checkups and screenings can uncover health problems even when no symptoms are present, potentially saving patients’ lives.

For example, Hackensack Meridian Health said that mammograms have reduced breast cancer mortality in the United States by 40% since 1990. Many insurance providers cover annual physicals at no cost to the patient, and screenings can catch diseases early when they’re at their most treatable and treatment is less expensive and less time-consuming.

Be a prepared patient. Prepare a list of questions before a scheduled doctor’s appointment. Jot

‘Let Them Play CA' rallies hope to restart sports programs in schools

Murrieta Valley High School parents, athletes and coaches hope to have their pleas heard regarding getting their students back in sports.

Valley News/Courtesy photo

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

It has been 10 months since high school sports teams have had any competitive playing time due to the state locking things down because of the coronavirus pandemic. As the debate continues over whether or not high school and youth sports, which include special needs sports programs, should be allowed to resume in California, supporters of letting children play are rallying their voices to send a message to Sacramento.

High school athletes, parents and coaches held rallies at high schools across California Friday, Jan. 15, during the afternoon to advocate for a return to play. The “Let Them Play CA” rallies were sparked by a Facebook group or-

ganizing a long list of California high schools that would host the rallies in hopes of getting local o cials attention with a plea to get their children back in sports.

At Chaparral High School, a crowd of concerned high school athletes, parents, coaches and supporters were joined by backers from other Temecula schools to share their message. The same thing happened in Murrieta at all three high schools as well.

“This is not just about my kid, it s about all the kids of California,” one local parent said.

“Sports for them are incredibly important to keep them off the streets and out of trouble and focused on their schoolwork.”

Many parents agreed that the state should recognize the detriment of more lost seasons is for students across the state.

t s a mental health issue, another parent said. “There are a lot of kids who can play in college, and this season may be their only a enue to get recruiting film so colleges can see them play.”

With the rise in positive COVID-19 cases and with California being on a tier system for high school competitive sports resuming, which is currently in purple, the most restrictive tier, the Southern Section of the CIF will make a decision soon to cancel fall and winter seasons, like football. Those who support the grassroots effort et Them lay CA,” initiative are keeping the pressure on Gov. Gavin Newsom, organizing the rallies in support of reopening youth sports.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, the risk of a COVID-19

spread increases based on the number of people a participant interacts with, how close they physically are to others, and if they share equipment with multiple players. Those who supports the effort, belie e athletes can stay safe on the field as they ha e at home.

When they are home, they re wearing their masks and taking the safety precautions. A lot of these kids will listen to their coaches before they listen to their parents,” a local coach said.

California has ranked each sport s risk based on whether it is indoors or outdoors and classified them under three categories: low

contact, moderate contact or high contact. They are then grouped by risk tier. Those in the purple tier include sports like cross-country, swimming and tennis – mostly outdoor sports with minimal contact. Under this plan, the sports in the purple tier could start practicing Feb. 1, pending approval.

The hashtag #LetThemPlayCA is being used across all social media platforms, for those looking for more information.

A new era: Murrieta-based Reyes FC will join the UPSL this year

A new United Premier Soccer League expansion team, Reyes FC, will join the league in the spring with a home base in Murrieta.

Valley News/Courtesy photo

Salvador Torres SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

The Temecula Valley is no stranger to soccer excellence, from the arious boys and girls club teams to being home to many professional players like Aydan Bowers with California Utd Strikers, Joey Ciochetto of the Guam national team and Stephanie Malherbe of the South African National team among many others.

As a strategic location between an iego and i erside s in-

coming talent, there are not many amateur teams; just one team for both men and women with Temecula Football Club of the National Premier Soccer League and SoCal nion of the Women s remier Soccer League.

In December 2020, a new United Premier Soccer League expansion team announced Reyes Football Club to join the league in the spring and setting home base in Murrieta. This new club will be the first team in the area and the third amateur adult

team in the region. Edgar Villarroel, the gentleman behind the idea of Reyes FC, had some time to discuss his team and what their goals are going forward. Here is my interview with him.

Torres: What is your soccer story, what made you get into the sport?

Villarroel: Well, e been playing ever since I was young. I have family who played professionally in Mexico. I went over there, lived for a couple of years playing in the second division with Pumas and returned to the U.S. in my twenties, and I just gave it up. Coming back, I now see a lot of talent in the UPSL. I barely found out about it one season ago. And I just noticed that it s not that many teams o er here in the Temecula/ Murrieta area, especially the UPSL. And then I just decided to make one in Murrieta.

Torres: Have you personally lived in the Inland Empire all your life? How do you like it here?

Villarroel: Y eah, I live over here. We moved to Murrieta, but I still went to school in Escondido. I was a teenager, and didn t want to leave my friends. So, I lived over here, but went to school over there and, but now, I mean, I like it way better over here. I was younger and stayed studying in Escondido because of my friends, but I like it over here now.

Torres: What made you decide to start a team? What role do you play and what are your responsibilities?

Villarroel: I was watching games in the UPSL D1 in San Diego. I would tell my friend like

you should do this, do that, do this change or substitution, and he told me, you really know a lot about soccer didn t mention that with people. And they were like, how do you do this and that. Then I explained to them after I played, but I still like to know everything about soccer. I pull up pictures and stuff, and that s what they get surprised. My dad taught me a lot e en if we weren t in his teams, he had his own. I just told him, like, hey do you want to go back in to the game, surprised he said, of course, let s do it m running it now and just looking for talent everywhere. Before people said there was nothing to do over here in the nland mpire, it didn t have talent like San Diego, as if it was dead back in the day. My responsibility is social media, and we have a helper from Mexico that will come out like every now and again to give coaching clinics. My dad is the head coach.

Torres: Why did you guys do it with the UPSL and why in Murrieta?

Villarroel: There s a lot of talent. In the San Diego division, I saw there weren t that many teams there. I picked Murrieta because I saw there wasn t any teams and it s where m currently staying I have a couple of friends here that play They wouldn t get the opportunity to play, like to get tryouts in the San Diego division because they were filled in o we ust decided to pro e that there s talent over here.

Torres: I want to ask about the logo, what s the story behind it Villarroel: So we were going to

go with Toros FC, but they told us the name was taken. So we had to change the name and everything. t s funny cause we already had everything for Toros FC and gave us the green light. Until I was going to pay for the registration, the league then said that couldn t use that name. So we went back, we decided on Reyes FC, Spanish for kings. We started working on logos, but we changed it. We put a crown, we put the colors and stuff like that. We want a logo to stand out to say there s a new era coming into the di ision, and that s a big catch. Many people have been messaging and emailing about the logo, like who made it; they said it was good.

Torres: Based on the UPSL release, your team started in 2015 under different names, can you take us through that journey from then to now?

Villarroel: My dad had many teams, and we went through different unday league names and stuff like that. Still, we wanted to make it more professional. Then I left for Mexico to live over there, and he stopped. He went into the San Diego division, but only competitive Sunday leagues. When I came back, we watched a friend s game, and then he invited me to the UPSL and asked me to join forces with that team. However, we wanted to try and make our own That s when I talked to my dad, and we sat down, and we spoke about it.

The team would be professional with respect, discipline, and make it a big club. see REY ES, page C-2

Villarroel: We re looking locally and abroad. We already held tryouts.

We got people coming from Coronado, which I was surprised and, as far as Perris, a little bit over Perris.

We re asking all the players at tryouts to give us four days a week and dedication like they re not going to pay anything. Uniforms and training kits are provided.

TVUSD board hears budget update after coronavirus relief package, Newsom’s funding proposals

The Temecula Valley

ni ed School

Will Fritz ASSOCIATE EDITOR

A combination of funds from the recent federal coronavirus relief package signed by former President Donald Trump in December and budgetary proposals from California Gov. Gavin Newsom means Temecula alley nified is looking ahead to potentially being in a much better budgetary position in the coming years than district officials had previously thought. t the district s first interim budget report in December, Nicole

istrict hears a school district s budget update Tuesday, Jan. 12. alley

Lash, assistant superintendent of business services for TVUSD, told school board members that the district s pro ections at the time were showing TVUSD could be facing a deficit of about million by the fiscal year, forcing it to dip into its reserve funds.

But the already approved federal funds and the proposed dollars from the state will likely change things.

“When you add all of these pieces together, and then you take your mind back to where we were with the multi-year projection, that will be changing,” Lash

told TVUSD board members at a special workshop meeting of the board Jan. 12. “That $24 million deficit in that third year out is going to look significantly different when we start adding all of these components.” ash said the district won t ha e a firm budget update until its second interim budget report in March, by which point more details of the go ernor s proposals will likely have been hammered out, but the district does know, to start, that its estimated revenue from the federal stimulus package will be about million in one-

time funds.

The federal funds have restrictions typical to other federal funding programs but are “fairly broad” in their use, Lash said.

“This was signed. This is a done deal. We are hoping to get these funds in March; that is my understanding of the timeline for receipt,” she said.

The deadline for use of the federal dollars is Sept. 30, 2022, giving TVUSD time to allocate them.

Lash said two proposals from the go ernor s o ce are shakier, as they are only proposals at the moment, but she explained the funding implications for TVUSD as they stood Jan. 12.

At the end of December, Newsom announced a $2 billion plan to reopen in-person learning for students in transitional kindergarten through second grade in February and March. Newsom has asked the California Legislature to approve the midyear plan in the next two weeks, a tight timeline. ash said it was the district s understanding that the plan, if approved by the legislature, would net TVUSD about $11 million in revenue to put to use for in-person learning.

“This is contingent upon reopening, and there is a laundry list of criteria for applying for these funds,” Lash said.

One problem that could arise, she said, is that there are stringent coronavirus testing plans included in the laundry list of criteria she described, and some school districts have estimated that the reopening incentive funds could be eaten up entirely by the cost

of testing. f you re in deep purple tier , you re re uired to test all students and staff e ery week, and what we re finding is some districts are concerned the cost of testing all students and staff would eat up 100% of the funding they receive,” Lash said.

But the best news, Lash said, is that after the state did not fund any cost-of-living increases in , the go ernor s budget proposal for the 2021-2022 fiscal year calls for funding a typical cost-of-living increase as well as making up entirely for the lost year, bringing schools to a funded cost-of-living adjustment of 3.48% .

It would get the district about $9 million in additional revenue next year, Lash said.

On top of that, she said while funding deferrals – a budgetary tactic used by the state to move some funding into the ne t fiscal year – will continue this year, they will be reduced in 2021-2022. ash said T s board will see a fuller picture of the new budgetary environment in March. lot of costs we don t know until we get there and we re in the thick of it, and we ust didn t foresee them, she said o we re going to be building this budget with all of the assumed costs coming with reopening but there will be unforeseen costs that come along with that that we ll ust ha e to adjust for.”

Use an avocado to make a creamy hair conditioner

Helen Hecker SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Ever thought about using an avocado to condition your hair?

One of the nice things about using avocados as a hair conditioner is

that if you open an avocado and reali e it s dark, has a change in a or or has too many black spots, and you re uncomfortable eating it, you can cut them out and use it as a conditioner so it s not wasted Use an organic avocado if you want an organic hair conditioner. f you e ne er used an a ocado as a hair conditioner treatment, try some on a few strands of hair first just before shampooing your hair.

That way you ll know if it ll wash out easily. It should wash out easily, but if you have bleached hair, it s more porous and it may be a little harder to wash out.

To make the conditioner, take

the avocado and cut it down the middle, lengthwise. Pull the two halves apart and scoop out the avocado pit. Wash your hands thoroughly first Mash the avocado up thoroughly in a small glass bowl using a fork.

Y ou want it to be completely mashed, with no chunks showing.

Next, scoop up the mashed avocado mixture and work it into your hair using just warm water, never hot. Also apply it to your scalp. If you have time and feel so inclined, apply it to your face also. It will dry fast and feel like a mask. This conditioner has no preservatives, additives or other harsh chemicals

– onl y lots of phytonutrients.

Avocados contain a high amount of oil. They are neither acid nor alkaline. They are rich in minerals that regulate body functions.

Y ou can do an avocado hair conditioning treatment once a month or whene er you find an a ocado you can t use

FBI charges anti-Trump activist in Capitol riot

Julie Reeder PUBLISHER

According to the FBI, John Sullivan of Utah was charged Thursday, Jan. 14, in federal court in the District of Columbia in connection with the riots at the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, an John Earle Sullivan claimed he was there as a journalist; however, the FBI used his own footage to show Sullivan accompanying and cheering on the rioting crowd by saying et s go, This s t is ours and et s burn this s t down.”

As Valley News reported earlier, Sullivan is the founder of Insurgence USA and was featured on CNN with Anderson Cooper.

Sullivan was part of the crowd inside the Capitol and filmed shli Bobbit, who appeared to be an avid Trump supporter, after she was shot and killed.

On Twitter is a tweet from Sullli an s Twitter page where he has hashtags #antifa, #BLM and calls on followers to meet in Washington and “burn it all down.”

Video footage taken of Sullivan, who is also known as Jayden X , in BLM Plaza in Washington in August 2020 shows him inciting people, calling people to “burn this s**t down” and “rip Trump out of his o ce and for re olution “My name is John Sullivan... we f* * * * n about to burn this s**t down, F**k that guy. Power to the people! We got to f* * * * n rip Trump out of that o ce right over there and f* * * * n pull him out of that s t ah nah, we ain t about f**n waiting til the next election we about to go get that mother f r t s time for re olution! Pull him out of that s**t . t s time for re olution t s time for a revolution,” according to the video footage.

Sullivan was charged by complaint with one count of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, and one count of interfering with law enforcement engaged in the lawful performance

of their o cial duties during the incident, leading up to and during the commission of civil disorder and one count of knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority. The defendant was arrested recently in Utah.

The complaint alleged that during the events at the U.S. Capitol, Sullivan, who was wearing a ballistics vest and a gas mask, entered the U.S. Capitol through a window that had been broken out, pushing past U.S. Capitol Police once inside. The complaint also alleged that ulli an admits to filming and being depicted in video footage that shows him present, outside of the peaker s lobby within the U.S. Capitol, at the shooting of a woman by a U.S. Capitol police o cer He was arrested and charged in July 2020 over a BLM/ Antifa riot where drivers in Provo, Utah, were threatened and one was shot.

The details contained in the charging documents are allegations. Defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Jon Soloman from Justthenews. com reported Wednesday that the FBI admitted Tuesday it received information ahead of the an

tragedy suggesting some participants were planning a “war” on the Capitol, including killing o cers and distributing maps of the complex. It alerted Washington law enforcement through the joint terrorism task force alert system.

It also “disrupted” the travel plans of some of the suspected troublemakers.

“We developed some intelligence that a number of individuals were planning to travel to the D.C. area with intentions to cause iolence, te en ntuono, assistant director of the FBI, said.

“We immediately shared that information, and action was taken.”

The New Y ork Police Department is reported to have given the Capitol Police similar intelligence warnings of impending violence.

The chief federal prosecutor in Washington declared Tuesday he is pursuing conspiracy charges, signaling the attacks on the Capitol involved multiple acts and multiple conspirators working in concert with each other. The prosecutor talked about the planting of carefully constructed IEDs as one such act.

Church of England liberalism is responsible for royal scandals Joe Naiman WRITER

When Princess Diana was killed in a car crash, did Billy Shears become the Princess of Wales?

Before Princess Diana, the last famous Briton allegedly killed in a car crash was Paul McCartney.

The “Paul is dead” rumors stem from lyrics in certain Beatles songs and depictions of McCartney on certain album covers, as well as a change in his dexterity following a Beatles trip to Germany. One of the supposed signs of his death and replacement in the band by Billy Shears was the reference to Shears in the song ergeant epper s Lonely Hearts Club Band.”

After Princess Diana became officially pronounced dead, her position as the Princess of Wales became a acant o it s a reason-

able question to ask if Billy Shears took rincess iana s place as the Princess of Wales.

Although the British royal family was been shaken by scandal, it would seem far-fetched to have a male princess or to have Billy Shears in the role of Prince Charles former spouse n the other hand, it s nothing that ritish royalty hasn t already appro ed When K ing Henry VIII left the Roman Catholic Church and established the Church of England, one of the changes that he made was that the K ing of England was head of the Church of England.

Although the country has since been ruled by queens and the monarchy has been that of the nited ingdom since , the British monarch is still the head of the Church of England, also known as the Anglican Church,

and in the , it s a liated with the Episcopalian denomination.

Other than leadership and linguistic changes, the biggest difference between the original Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church was that the Church of England allowed divorce. From its very beginning the Church of England was liberal in matters concerning the stability of the family.

In 1930, the church became the first denomination to appro e of birth control. Since then, the church has approved of abortion, homosexuality and ordination of female priests. Today, the church is still one of the most socially liberal denominations.

Since 1952, Q ueen Elizabeth II has been the monarch of the United K ingdom and thus the head of the Church of England.

any of the church s positions that are inconsistent with traditional families have been taken under her leadership.

In recent decades, the actions of the royal family have been interpreted as scandal. In fact, they are the policies of the royal church coming home to roost. What the Church of England has allowed for other members is being utilized by members of the royal family.

And thus, a homosexual marriage by the royal crown prince is no more out of line than the Church of ngland s condonation of homose uality t s a situation waiting to happen.

So with the policies of the Anglican and Episcopalian denominations, it s not out of the uestion for Billy Shears to become the new Princess of Wales. By the way, has anyone noticed the pro-life

County names Salt Creek Trail segments after Mattocks, Rosen Joe Naiman WRITER

The Riverside County Regional Park and Open-Space District has named portions of Salt Creek Trail near Menifee and Hemet after Lynn Mattocks and Marty Rosen.

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors members are also members of the Riverside County Regional Park and Open-space District. In their 5-0 vote, Tuesday, Jan. 12, they edicated the portion of Salt Creek Trail between Goetz Road and Murrieta Road in honor of Mattocks while designating the dedication of Salt Creek Trail from Aldergate Drive and Antelope Road to Murrieta Road in honor of Rosen. ts with me, attocks said The board action occurred three days before attocks th birthday “That will be great,” he said of the dedication.

Mattocks was born in Cedar Vale, K ansas, Jan. 15, 1935. He attended high school in Grenola, K ansas.

He has been riding horses for as long as he can remember.

“I was probably about two – by myself, attocks said of his first ride on his own.

Mattocks expanded his equestrian activity to rodeo as a teenager. rode my first horse for money in 1952,” Mattocks said. “I won about $10.”

He joined the Rodeo Cowboys Association, which is now the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, in 1954. Mattocks rode both bulls and broncs, although he gave up Saddle Bronc Riding in 197 0 and Bareback Riding in 197 3. He continued as a Bull Riding competitor until 1982. Mattocks turned 50 in 1985 and received his PRCA gold card. ther acti ities limited attocks RCA competition.

“I wanted to be a Marine,” he said.

Mattocks spent 30 years in the Marine Corps including six years in the reserves as well as 24 years of active duty. He was in the Marines from 1955 to 197 9 and retired from the Marine Corps as a master sergeant. Mattocks spent approximately 12 years of his Marine Corps career stationed at U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. He lived in Oceanside before moving to Murrieta in 197 5 and moved to Menifee in 1981.

The predecessors of the Professional Armed Forces Rodeo Association include the Military Rodeo Association and the Military Rodeo Cowboys Association. Mattocks won the Military Rodeo Association s areback iding championship fi e times, the addle ronc Riding championship three times and the Bull Riding championship twice. He later served as head of judging for the Military Rodeo

Sergeant Reckless was a mare who served the Marine Corps in the K orean War, continued her active-duty service at Camp Pendleton after the orean con ict and remained at Camp Pendleton after she was retired from military duties.

Mattocks worked with Sergeant Reckless when they were both at Camp Pendleton and often took the mare to parades and other events.

In 2013, a statue of Sergeant Reckless was dedicated at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Q uantico, Virginia, and the success of a fundraising effort allowed for a statue at Camp Pendleton and for a memorial marker at her Camp Pendleton grave to be dedicated in ctober attocks was on the board of directors for the Sergeant Reckless memorial.

Pastors press for injunction against state over COVID-19 restrictions City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Attorneys for Inland Empire pastors challenging Gov. Gavin Newsom s restrictions on in-person church services amid the coronavirus pandemic said Friday, Jan. 15, they are pressing ahead with a request for an emergency injunction against the state to stop enforcement of the restrictions.

“For nearly 10 months, California has forced faithful Americans to choose between obedience to God and obedience to Gavin, by forcing them to forsake religious gatherings,” Mark Trammell, general counsel for Center for American Liberty, said.

“We are optimistic that the U.S. Supreme Court will afford Californians the same relief it correctly afforded ew orkers by en oining ewsom s unconstitutional and discriminatory executive order.”

The center is representing two Riverside County pastors, James ean offatt and renda Wood, and two San Bernardino County pastors, Wendy Gish and Patrick Scales, in a case now pending before the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, Gish v. Newsom.

The civil suit originated in April after the go ernor first imposed, by executive order, restrictions on worship services, citing the coronavirus public health emergency. He later modified the order to permit outdoor

congregations The plaintiffs wanted the full slate of restrictions abolished, but they lost in U.S. District Court.

The case was ultimately appealed.

They are using the U.S. Supreme Court precedent established in November under Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn v. Cuomo as the principal point for seeking to undo ewsom s orders That high court case found there was no justification for disparate treatment of religious worship when secular forms of behavior, including shopping and working in relati ely close confines, is permitted.

“Government is not free to disregard the First Amendment in times of crisis,” according to the decision cited by the plaintiffs The emergency injunction being sought would bar the state – while the case is on appeal – from continuing to arbitrarily disallow indoor worship using the criteria established by the go ernor s lueprint for a Safer Economy, as well as his Dec. regional stay-at-home order All of Southern California is in the most restrictive tier per the latter edict, with the threshold for loosening regulations resting on whether the region s intensi e care unit capacity increases to 15% . It is currently 0% .

“Indoor congregate activities, in which many people gather together in close proximity for extended periods of time, pose an especially great risk of ( COVID-19) transmission because

of the combination of the number of people, the nature of the activity and the location,” according to the state s brief filed in response to the plaintiffs re uest “California and many other jurisdictions have adopted emergency measures to slow the spread of the virus,” the respondents said in the brief. “The state recognizes that the current restrictions interfere with the ( Free Exercise Clause) , and the state is committed to relaxing those restrictions as soon as public health circumstances allow.” ccording to the plaintiffs brief, the pastors represented in the lawsuit and many others, have implemented safeguards, including capacity limitations, distancing and ongoing sanitation, to ensure health safeguards are in place to reduce the chances of virus exposure.

“The state has singled out applicants e ercise of faith for harsher treatment than for shopping, doing laundry, purchasing marijuana and so on,” according to the brief. “The government forbids applicants, under penalty of criminal penalty, from attending constitutionally protected congregate worship while broadly permitting a range of secular activities.”

There was no word on when the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals might rule on the request for an emergency injunction.

The Manzanita Ranch program for eterans rehabilitation is able to accommodate the disabilities of veterans to allow them to ride. The program includes equestrian riding and care instruction.

Former San Diego mayor signals possible run for governor Michael R. Blood AP POLITICAL WRITER

Former San Diego Mayor K evin Faulconer established a political committee Monday, Jan. 4, to begin raising money for a possible run for go ernor, kicking off what could be a tumultuous year in California politics as Gov. Gavin Newsom faces the threat of a recall election.

In a brief statement on Twitter, the moderate Republican who served two terms in the Democratic-leaning city said there is “no better way to ring in the new year than taking the first step in turning around California.”

Faulconer stopped short of formally declaring his candidacy, but the formation of the committee will allow him to begin collecting checks to help finance a potential campaign. In a tweet two days ago, he said, “We need a new governor.

Jobs are leaving; homelessness is skyrocketing.”

The move comes as supporters of a possible recall election aimed at the Democratic governor continue gathering the nearly 1.5 million petition signatures needed to qualify the proposal for the ballot. They have until mid-March to hit the required threshold.

Biden to prioritize legal status for millions of immigrants Elliot Spagat THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

resident-elect oe iden s decision to immediately ask Congress to offer legal status to an estimated 11 million people in the country has surprised advocates given how the issue has long divided Democrats and Republicans, even within their own parties. iden said aturday, an , he will announce legislation his first day in office to provide a path to citizenship for millions of immigrants in the United States illegally, according to four people briefed on his plans.

The president-elect campaigned on a path to citizenship for the roughly 11 million people in the U.S. illegally, but it was unclear how quickly he would move while wrestling with the coronavirus pandemic, the economy and other priorities. For advocates, memories were fresh of presidential candidate Barack Obama pledging

an immigration bill his first year in o ce, in , but not tackling the issue until his second term. iden s plan is the polar opposite of former President Donald Trump, whose successful presidential campaign included in part curbing or stopping illegal immigration.

If successful, the legislation would be the biggest move toward granting status to people in the country illegally since former President Ronald Reagan bestowed amnesty on nearly 3 million people in egislati e efforts to o erhaul immigration policy failed in 2007 a nd 2013. on lain, iden s incoming chief of staff, said aturday that Biden will send an immigration bill to Congress on his first day in o ce e didn t elaborate and iden s o ce declined to comment on specifics Advocates were briefed in recent days on the bill s broad outlines by Esther Olivarria, deputy

director for immigration on the White House Domestic Policy Council.

Domingo Garcia, former president of the League of Latin American Citizens, said Biden told advocates on a call Thursday, an , that Trump s impeachment trial in the Senate may delay consideration of the bill and that they shouldn t count on passage within 100 days.

“I was pleasantly surprised that they were going to take quick action because we got the same promises from Obama, who got elected in ‘ 08, and he totally failed,” Garcia said.

Ali Noorani, president of the National Immigration Forum and among those briefed Thursday night, said immigrants would be put on an eight-year path to citizenship. There would be a faster track for those in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which shields people from deportation who came to

the country as young children, and Temporary Protected Status, which gives temporary status to hundreds of thousands of people from strife-torn countries, many from El Salvador.

Vice President-elect K amala arris offered similar remarks in an interview with Univision that aired Tuesday, Jan. 19, saying DACA and TPS recipients will “automatically get green cards” while others would be on an eightyear path to citizenship.

More favorable attitudes toward immigration – especially among emocrats may weigh in iden s favor this time. A Gallup survey last year found that 34% of those polled favored more immigration, up from in and higher than any time since it began asking the uestion in The sur ey found 7% felt immigration was good for the country on the whole, up slightly from in Noorani said the separation of more than 5,000 children from

the parents at the border, which peaked in 2018, alienated voters from Trump s policies, particularly conservatives and evangelicals.

He believes a constantly shifting outlook for DACA recipients also hurt Trump among people who felt he was using them as “political pawns.”

“What was seared in their mind was family separation. They took it out on the Republican Party in 2018 and they took it out on Trump in 2020,” Noorani said.

It is impossible to know precisely how many people are in the country illegally. Pew Research Center estimated there were 10.5 million in 2017 , down from an alltime high of 12.2 million in 2007.

The Homeland Security Department estimates there were 12 million people in the country illegally in 2015, nearly 80% of them for more than 10 years. More than half were Mexican.

FBI investigation dismantles human trafficking network WA S H I N G TO N – W h e n a 14-year-old girl ran away from her irginia home after a family con ict in 2018, law enforcement feared she could be vulnerable. gents from the s Child ploitation and uman Tra cking Task Force found the teenager at a known brothel in Maryland. After investigators built trust with her, she told them she had met Daniel Palacios Rodriguez while trying to survive on the streets. Rodriguez groomed her for prostitution. He slowly introduced her into sexual exploitation, and she was eventually tra cked by se eral people along the East Coast. She often stayed for about a week in different hotels or apartments that were used for tra cking Rodriguez referred the teen to a

aryland-based tra cker, le andra Guzman-Beato. Guzman-Beato trafficked numerous girls and women, including some who were brought in from overseas.

The tra ckers ad ertised online and also used an elaborate word-ofmouth network of customers to avoid law enforcement.

“Through further investigation, we discovered there was a much larger network involved, where girls and women would come in from overseas or from other states to be exploited,” Jeremy Obie, special agent from the Washington ield ce, who investigated this case as part of the task force. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and various police departments from Maryland, Virginia, New Y ork, New Jersey and the

District of Columbia worked closely with the FBI on the investigation.

Victim statements, combined with search warrants and electronic evidence, helped bring down the ring of si tra ckers The additional four tra ckers played other roles, such as leasing apartments used for trafficking, recruiting girls and women, transportation, security and collecting money.

Both Rodriguez and Guzman-Beato were con icted of se tra cking a minor and sentenced to years in prison in July. The four others involved also received sentences ranging from years to years These types of cases require patient rapport-building with traumatized victims, as well as traditional investigative work such as search

warrants, surveillance, data analysis and coordination of multiple agencies.

When you e met these ictims and have seen what has happened to them, you don t want to let them down,” Obie said. “We work day and night on these types of cases, and we re ery passionate about protecting those who cannot protect themsel es society s innocent our children.”

Although January is when the country marks National Slavery and uman Tra cking re ention Month, the FBI and our partners work to ferret out and arrest human traffickers e ery day nd while putting a stop to tra cking is key, the also works to help victims get the services they need to recover.

nd that s e actly what happened in the case of the missing Virginia girl. Victim specialists from multiple partner agencies offered the girl therapy and other services to help her recover and move forward in life he s e en chosen to remain in contact with the FBI, two years after she was rescued in January 2019. t s definitely rewarding to see a good outcome and that you e helped change the whole dynamic of a child s life The ictim still contacts me to this day, keeping me updated on her life and how she s doing, bie said he s back on her feet, and she is on her way to a new beginning with a more positive outlook toward life.”

FAITH

That prayer thing

Zachary Elliot SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Too often, people confuse prayer, thinking it s something that it s not ome people belie e

it s a series of chants or memori ed words said over and over. Others believe prayer can only be done correctly by the spiritually elite.

And some people think prayer can only be done at a shrine, church or temple.

I want us to start with a very clear understanding of what prayer is. Are you ready?

Prayer is simply talking to God. Read that again. Take a moment to grasp its full meaning es, it s simple, and that s the point want you to commit to doing just that.

I want you to simply talk to God. For too long, people have complicated prayer, making it something that it s not eeling that

we have to add something to it to gi e it meaning and power on t fall for it.

Jesus had a lot to say about prayer. He talked about everything from where to pray, how to pray and what to pray about.

Today we answer the question: Where should I pray?

It might seem like a silly question, but esus didn t think so e said, When you pray, don t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get. But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind

you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you,” in atthew Here we learn two important truths. irst, prayer is personal t s between you and God. Second, God wants you alone for your daily prayers.

Jesus literally tells you to “shut the door” behind you. He wants you all to himself in prayer. He wants you alone.

When you re alone in prayer, you re not worried about who s listening or who might have the better-sounding prayer than you.

When you re alone with od,

there s the freedom to say whatever you want to him and to listen for his response. o here s my challenge today Find a special place, starting today, where you can get alone with God in prayer t s not that it s more spiritual there it s ust that it s more private.

If you do, Jesus said, “Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.”

9 things you might not know about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

TEMECULA – Well respected, honored and appreciated for his civil rights activism, Dr. Martin Luther K ing, Jr. rightfully earned

his place as one of the most influential figures in American and world history. Through his religious teachings and social

activism, Dr. K ing played a key role in the American Civil Rights o ement of the s and s While Dr. K ing lived a good portion of his life in the public eye, many facts of his life are not widely known. In honor of his birthday, Jan. 15, 1929, and Black History Month in February, the following are some interesting and less publicized facts about Dr. Martin Luther K ing Jr. artin uther ing, r s birth name was not “Martin,” but “Michael r ing s father tra eled to Germany and became inspired

by Protestant reformer Martin Luther and thus changed his name while also changing the name of his then 5-year-old-son.

2. Dr. K ing was a prodigious student. Not only did he skip two grades and start college before formally graduating high school, but r ing also earned a bachelor s degree at age 19, graduating from Morehouse College in 1948 with a degree in sociology.

3. Though not a singer, Dr. K ing

earned a posthumous Grammy Award nonetheless. In 197 1, Dr. K ing was awarded Best Spoken Word album for “Why I Oppose the War in Vietnam.”

4. Although people cannot readily find photographs of r ing smoking, he was a regular smoker and even hid the habit from the public and from his children so they wouldn t take up smoking It was believed Dr. K ing was smoking a cigarette when he was fatally shot.

5. While Dr. K ing is remembered as an enthralling public speaker, he actually scored poorly in public speaking during his first year at seminary. He received a “C” in the class but earned straight s by his final year r ing was a tar Trek fan. He convinced actor Nichelle Nichols, who played the role of “Uhura” on the show, to continue working with the series. Nichols was considering leaving, but Dr. K ing told her she was breaking boundaries by playing a charac-

ter who didn t conform to black stereotypes.

7 . Dr. K ing narrowly escaped an assassination attempt Sept. 20, 1958. On that day, Dr. K ing was in Harlem signing copies of his new book, “Stride Toward Freedom,” when he was approached by a woman who stabbed him with a letter opener. He barely survived. r ing s speech in emphis in pril may ha e prophesied his death. Speaking to an audience at Mason Temple Church, K ing said, “Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place ut m not concerned about that now e seen the romised Land. I may not get there with you.

But I want you to know tonight that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land.” r ing s birthday is now observed as a national holiday in the United States. President Ronald Reagan signed the bill in 1983.

The only other American to earn this honor is George Washington.

OPINION

Beware of bad animal rescues Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

The term “rescue” is a buzzword that instills thoughts of relief, shelter, love and care. Animal rescues save poor, innocent and defenseless pets, right?

Not always.

There is also a sinister side to this self-proclaimed calling by some individuals.

When considering adopting or sometimes, more correctly – buying – an animal from a rescue, the public should be aware of the many red ags that illegitimate organizations hoist up their proverbial flagpoles. These groups do not have the best interests of the animals in mind and instead may exploit your pocketbook for their gain.

Bad rescues are often unwilling to collaborate with others in the same business and pump out see ANIMALS, page AVO -5

Rescued puppies are seeking loving homes. Pet adopters should watch out for bad rescue organizations, when selecting a new pet.

HUSD votes to continue virtual learning Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

The emet nified chool istrict board took action to remain in the online learning model – with the exception of small cohorts – for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year.

At their board meeting Tuesday, Jan. 12, the board voted to continue the virtual learning model for the remainder of the school year.

This decision did not come lightly, as the HUSD has continuously sought solutions to bring all students back in a safe manner while abiding by all state and public health directives, board members observed.

On Wednesday, Dec. 30, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a proposed plan for school districts to provide in-person instruction.

This plan pertains to kindergarten through sixth grade and has specific criteria that the district must meet to return to some form of inperson instruction. One criterion is the county where the district is located must have a COVID-19 adjusted case rate that is fewer than 28 cases per 100,000 people.

Riverside County does not meet this threshold currently, and therefore, the HUSD is unable to bring students back into a hybrid model at this time t is also significant

to note that the go ernor s afe Schools for All Plan that was announced Wednesday, Dec. 30, may change, as it has not been approved by the California state legislature.

“We will continue to monitor any updates made to the plan and communicate with our families.

We recogni e that the district s response to COVID-19 continues to be a fluid situation and has implications for our families and students. The district will continue to work hard to provide as much consistency to our families during this evolving situation,” Megan Haley, governing HUSD board president, said.

The emet nified chool istrict board of trustees held a public hearing and study session on returning to in-person instruction at its regularly scheduled board meeting Tuesday, Oct. 13.

At the study session, the HUSD board voted to continue distance learning until Thursday, Jan. 21, for elementary schools and Monday, Feb. 1, for secondary schools.

The decision was revisited due to the rising COVID-19 case numbers in Riverside County.

The district began significant planning efforts beginning with parent surveys. Based on emerging information for state and local authorities, significantly in uenced by parent feedback on teaching

and learning after March 13, the district convened work groups composed of teachers, administrators and classified employees to begin building a continuum of instructional and operational plans preparing for reopening schools in one of se eral configurations

All HUSD board meetings since March 2020 have been available to the public on Y ouTube through an audio livestream.

Enjoy the benefits of crossword puzzles TEMECULA – Crossword puzzles are one of the most popular pastimes in the world. Crosswords are square grids made up of whiteand black-shaded squares. The goal is to fill in all of the letters to form words and phrases that work both vertically and horizontally.

The grid varies based on the country of origin. Certain grids also have 180-degree rotational symmetry so that the pattern appears the same if the paper is turned upside down.

Historians are uncertain about who created the world s first crossword puzzle, although it is believed to be something that originated in the 19th or early 20th century. Arthur Wynne, a journalist from Liverpool, England, published a word-cross puzzle in the New Y ork World that had many of the features of the modern game, and the crossword is frequently attributed to Wynne.

Even though crossword puzzles have been entertaining and helping people pass the time for more than years, the benefits of crosswords go beyond boredom-busting. Various studies have shown the positive effects crossword pu les can ha e on a person s brain and capacity to learn.

The study found people who play crosswords have brain function equivalent to those 10 years younger than their actual age.

Improve socialization.

Crossword puzzles can help you connect socially with others who also play crossword puzzles. Solving a puzzle together as a group is a fine way to connect and meet new people.

Crossword puzzles can engage the brain and mind, helping direct attention away from stressful situations. They also provide a way to relax and unwind.

Bradford Fire in Aguanga scorches 10 acres

Fire engines scramble down the dirt roads to face the Bradford Fire, Wednesday, Jan. 13, in Aguanga.

Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

A fast-moving blaze scorched approximately 10 acres in upper Aguanga Wednesday, Jan. 13.

The Bradford Fire was reported at 9: 52 a. m. at Wiasmul Road and Barber Lane in Aguanga, south of Anza.

Cal ire and the Cahuilla tribe s r crew were first on the scene of a travel trailer fully involved with propane tanks exploding.

Nearby vegetation was ablaze with about 5 acres consumed at a moderate rate of spread.

Aircraft arrived on scene and Cal ire engines stopped the fire at about 10 acres. There was no extension into the Cahuilla Reservation.

No injuries or evacuations were reported.

Air tankers 70 and 71 dropped retardant on the fire returned to a-

The food provided consisted of fresh red peppers, pears, apples, carrots and other produce. Cans of spaghetti sauce, potatoes, pasta and more were also provided to each participant at no cost.

Volunteers directed drivers to the distribution point where boxes of food were passed through car windows and placed into back seats, trunks and the beds of pickup trucks.

Participants were asked to remain in their vehicles and wear a mask while attending the event. A long line of cars snaked through the parking lot to the food distribution point on the east side of the C o ces In 2019, the AEC board of directors approved a donation for the Mobile Pantry that was matched

Want adventure? Take a hike to Ghost Mountain Allen Riedel SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Ghost Mountain in the AnzaBorrego Desert State Park is the home of a unique piece of Southern California history. Halfway up the spine of the mountain, hikers will find the remnants of a uitepec, a one-of-a-kind desert experiment concocted by Marshal and Tanya South, an author and his artist wife.

The couple left civilization in 1930 to raise their three children amongst the harsh desert environs, unspoiled by what they saw as the callousness of society. There, they felt freed from the confines and pressures of modern life.

Ultimately, the couple split after their 17- year undertaking, and the children do not talk of their life there to this day.

The hike, with a di culty rating of easy, covers 2 miles roundtrip and takes about 1 hour.

The elevation gain is 600 feet, and the highest point 3,388 feet above sea level. The best season to hike this trail is late fall to early spring. There is no water on the trail, and hikers are advised to

ANIMALS from page aggressive and ill-informed rumors about other organizations.

What is in the best interest of the pet is ignored to compete with other people trying to do what is right in a situation and create unnecessary drama designed to take attention away from the questionable methods they often use.

Social media bashing frenzies are common, where internet accusations can often boil over into legal action. Any rescue that participates in this activity is to be avoided.

The important thing should be the welfare of neglected, unwanted, sick or endangered animals, not “he said, she said” battles on Facebook for everyone to see.

Things can easily become out of control. How exactly does this help the pet t doesn t “Anyone with any knowledge that supersedes their own small world is a target,” Debby McMullen said in an article about fanatic rescues on ictoria tilwell s website “Positively.” “They behave much like wild jackals descending on prey. If they spent even half of that energy properly screening homes and providing proper veterinary care for the animals, the world would be a much better place. Instead they spend an inordinate amount of time on social

bring their own supply. Visit the ranger station to pay the required fees and get needed permits or call 760- 767- 5311.

Getting there, from the town of Julian, head east for 10 miles on state Route 7 8. From there, take County Route S2 south for fi e miles ollow it to the dirt road, Blair Valley Road, which is marked for Ghost Mountain, Portreros and Pictographs. Turn left and follow the signs on the dirt road to the parking area.

The remnants of their adobe homestead, including a foundation, cistern, a few standing walls and some bedsprings, are available for exploration, and quite a few people come to check out the oddity, especially on the weekends.

During the week, there is considerably less foot tra c Hike half a mile to the dwelling, which is quite accessible on a well-traveled trail. The view from the homestead is magnificent, but the additional half-mile climb to the actual summit is more than worthwhile.

First, not many people continue beyond the ruins. Most are content to explore and ponder the strange

existence of the South family and the di culty that must ha e surrounded the intimacies of their everyday existence.

Secondly, the 360-degree summit vista is superb. The entire Blair Valley, the Great Southern Overland Route of 1849 and the Vallecito Valley and Mountains are all visible, as are the high Laguna Mountains rising toward the west and Julian.

The second half of the trail is not as defined There are many paths to the top, and all are rocky and unmarked. Take care, as the rough terrain makes it easy to twist an ankle.

Also, it is best to avoid the fragile plant life in the area. Expect normal desert flora and fauna, such as lizards, cacti, mesquite and rattlesnakes.

The South family did not denude the hillside of their mountain home; instead, they spent hours foraging and gathering in many locations, spreading out their impact upon the land and leaving this region pristine and untarnished.

The natural beauty of the region attests to their care.

It is impossible to visit here and

media platforms making up stories about people they have never met, who might have disagreed with the information that they are sharing as facts. This is the kind of behavior that the general dog, ( horse, cat, goat, etc.) owning public at large sees as fanatical.”

Q uestionable rescues sometimes do not have volunteers or helpers.

They are often exclusively run by the owners to keep control of all information and treatment of the pets in their care. Secretive behavior is not normal in a way of life that depends on the goodwill and generosity of the general public.

One of the biggest indicators that the rescue may have something to hide is the practice of not allowing potential adopters to visit their location. Meeting people in parking lots does not give the new pet owners a chance to observe conditions in which the animal was kept. Illegal activities may also occur at the rescue location. Bad rescues do not want people on their property for fear that law enforcement could possibly become aware of their extracurricular activities, the author said.

If a rescuer is defensive in answering simple questions, it could be an indicator that something may be amiss. A true rescuer is forthcoming and pleased to answer any and all questions without hesitation. The main idea is to adopt the

pet into a new home, while giving the adopter the chance to return the animal if it does not work out for any number of reasons. This process requires trust on both sides.

If a rescue does not provide names, addresses and contact information on their website, there may be a problem. The trickiest organizations are adept at avoiding county Animal Services inspections and inquiries. By not providing transparent and important information, these people lurk in the shadows, picking up pets mostly for free off the internet and charging large rehoming fees for them. Claims of vetting, microchipping and good care and vaccinations may be false. escues that are not nonprofit corporations that constantly beg for free supplies, feed and money may be actually li ing off the donations, and the animals may be neglected as a result. No records of gifts or cash may be kept. Strict reports of incoming and outgoing items and money should be itemized and available for inspection.

Some bad rescues align themselves with legitimate operations to try to improve their credibility by association.

So what can a person do that wishes to provide a kind and loving home to a rescue pet? Due diligence is a must. isa one of Toby s egacy

Are the horses or other animals healthy and happy? Ask for references from farrier and vet. Talk to volunteers. Ask to see their books. t s about transparency Whether you are actually interested or not, all of this should be happily and freely provided upon request. Call your local Animal Control agency and see where the rescue stands with their agency.

“What to watch out for? Do the founders work? If not, are they li ing off the rescue This is sub ecti e, but to me, a red ag When they don t work but dri e a nice car, hair and nails done, etc. ed ag ery single animal that has been taken into their rescue should be accounted for. Euthanasia, adoption, foster, whatever,

they should all be accounted for.

If not, red flag. What is their policy on euthanasia? Q uality of life, population control, to make room for new arrivals. Y ou have to decide what you are OK with. I could go on for days,” Bone said.

It all really amounts to, as she suggested, is transparency. Rescues should be willing to open their doors, gates and books to scrutiny by people interested in adopting one or more of their animals. It really is about the innocent, defenseless creature, is it not?

Try these natural ways to ease arthritis pain TEMECULA – A leading cause of disability in the United States and elsewhere, arthritis can be a debilitating disease ain and stiffness are the leading symptoms, and millions of people seek relief from arthritis every year.

Contrary to popular belief, arthritis is not a disease of old age.

The Arthritis Foundation said one in e ery fi e adults has arthritis, two-thirds of whom are under the age of 65. In a 2008 Canadian Community Health Study, 15.3% of Canadians aged 12 or older reported a diagnosis of arthritis, and e en children can suffer from arthritis.

A complex family of musculoskeletal disorders, arthritis consists of more than different diseases that destroy joints, bones, muscles, cartilage and other connective tissues. This degeneration can compromise physical movement and lead to pain. Arthritis may result from the wearing down of joints and connective tissue through repetitive movement or injury, but it also may be the result of an autoimmune disease. Rheumatoid arthritis, for example, is caused by the body s own immune system attacking the membranes around joints, particularly in the hands and feet.

Treating a complex condition like arthritis is not always easy.

Treatment of arthritis, which has no cure, typically involves reducing pain and improving mobility.

While pain medications can be prescribed to treat arthritis, there are other more natural ways to handle arthritis as well.

Eat foods that reduce in ammation. rthritis causes in ammation in the joints and connective tissues, so it makes sense that reducing inammation could ease symptoms A number of foods, including tart cherries, have been found to reduce in ammation ccording to research from Oregon Health & Science University presented in 2012 at the American College of Sports Medicine Conference in San Francisco, tart cherries have the highest anti-in ammatory content of any food. The antioxidant compounds – called anthocyanins – in tart cherries have been specifically linked to high antio idant capacity and reduced in ammation at levels comparable to some wellknown pain medications. Spinach, walnuts, garlic, and broccoli also can reduce in ammation U se hot and cold treatments.

The University of Washington School of Medicine said hot and cold treatments can reduce swelling, relax muscles and relieve pain. Cold packs can numb sore areas and should be used when

symptoms come on suddenly.

Heat sources, in contrast, can help ease pain gradually and limber up tight joints and muscles. Always use a towel or barrier between a cold or hot pack and the skin to avoid injury.

Ex ercise a few times per week.

Although it may hurt to move around, frequent exercise can actually be beneficial in the long run. Low-impact exercises like walking, swimming and cycling three times a week can help to keep joint pain at bay. Always consult with a doctor before beginning an e ercise regimen to find out if it is right for your condition. Once you get the green light, start out gradually. If you are experiencing pain for more than an hour after a workout, your workout was too much for your body to handle and you need to lighten the load during your next workout.

Lose weight.

Being overweight can put added pressure on joints and cause more pain. Shedding a few pounds may be all it takes to get substantial relief from pain associated with arthritis.

Many natural therapies can effectively alleviate arthritis pain.

Talk to a doctor if your symptoms are affecting your uality of life

Spinach, walnuts, garlic and broccoli can reduce in ammation, a symptom of arthritis.
