An agreement between Ambient Communities LLC, developers of the long-planned Altair Development in the far southwest portion of Temecula, the city and the Center for Biological Diversity, Sierra Club, Mountain Lion Foundation and the Endangered Habitats League, put an end to a lawsuit that had dragged on for two years. The agreement focused on a 55-acre portion of land known as the “South Parcel” which will be set aside as open space to allow mountain lions a way to pass by the development and through an underground crossing at Interstate 15.

The city of Temecula is in a much better financial position than was projected earlier in the coronavirus pandemic, a city financial official said. Jennifer Hennessy, Temecula’s finance director, told the city council, Tuesday, Oct. 27, that after projecting a loss of almost $15 million across the city’s major revenue sources between March and June 2020, the city now estimates that it only lost just under $5.2 million during that time period compared to what had been projected for the 2019-2020 fiscal year, leaving the city’s general fund with a $9.6 million surplus. “Now that we’ve closed the books, the results were much less devastating than we originally see TEMECULA, page A-4

COVID-19 hospitalizations, deaths spike in Riverside County City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Kim Saruwatari, director of the county Department of Public Health, told the board of supervisors Tuesday, Oct. 27, that the testing rate had reached 221.6 per 100,000, compared to 195.5 per 100,000 a week ago. The state’s threshold for large counties is 239.1 per 100,000. “There’s been a tremendous amount of eﬀort to increase testing in the county,” Saruwatari said. The state-adjusted positivity rate edged up to 5.6% compared to an overall rate of 5.2% the previous week. The daily COVID-19 case rate is now 10.1 per 100,000 under the California Department of Public’s Health criteria. The previous rate calculated by the state was 9.1 per 100,000. Based partly on the low screening counts, the county remains in the “purple” tier, the most restrictive under G ov. G avin Newsom’s color-coded coronavirus regulatory framework. The board of supervisors had approved a self-directed reopening plan Oct. 6, but the timetable originally included with the plan for allowing businesses to fully open was removed on a 4-1 vote because it would have con icted with state mandates. But Tuesday, Oct. 27, Supervisor Karen Spiegel convinced her colleagues to unanimously support a proposal for the ex ecutive

Murrieta Innovation Center looks to expand Lexington Howe STAFF WRITER

At a special city council meeting, Tuesday, Oct. 20, Murrieta city staff hosted a wor shop to present a potential grant opportunity for the Murrieta Innovation Center to ex pand. ccording to staff, the funding would allow the facility to reach its full potential. The purpose of the Murrieta Innovation Center is to create and foster a startup ecosystem that offers education, mentorship, business resources and access to capital that allows innovators and entrepreneurs every opportunity to be successful in their ventures, staff said. The Murrieta Innovation Center currently holds nine medicaltechnology-based businesses: Murrieta G enomics, G attaCo, Alliance Research Centers, Sandhill Crane Diagnostics, Trio Pharmaceuticals, TX G enetic Research,

SimplSeq, NeyroblastG X LLC and their newest tenant, Bio-Verdi. Bio-Verdi was founded by a chemical engineer and is working on nex t generation sanitization products that are geared toward COVID-19. There are also resource providers operating within the Murrieta nnovation enter that oﬀer free counseling and mentoring services to businesses, as well as their veteran business oﬃce. On July 1, the Murrieta Partnership took over operations in the Murrieta Innovation Center through action by the city council. It allowed the city the ability to provide greater security to their tenant and to increase the scope of programs and services the center can provide. It also allows them to incorporate it at a much larger number of innovators into the space than they previously could. Immediate changes were visible in the Murrieta Innovation Center after the partnership be-

gan oversight, according to staff. Spaces were cleaned and organized, mail delivery to the tenants was consolidated, groups, events and meetings during COVID-19 were halted; security increased – they’ve had no air mattresses or late-night guests or illicit uses in the building, according to staff. Communications with tenants have increased, as they now have a presence in the space instead of relying entirely on remote dialogue through emails or conference calls. ity staff said the urrieta nnovation Center could become a successful, modern business incubator operator which would do many things: it would attract new business startups and new industries to the city because they want to benefit themselves through the opportunity of being there; a successful business incubator would also help them create a business-friendly atmosphere by being the agency that assists startups and small businesses through

educational series and mentorship programs. It also helps to create awareness of investment opportunities to start bringing in new funds to their community, according to staff. he goal, according to staff, is to spin companies out into Murrieta, creating new jobs, new medical amenities and new revenue streams for the city. This summer, Murrieta began a dialogue with the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding ex pansion opportunities for the Murrieta Innovation Center as a means of ex panding job creation in the valley. he official from the . . conomic Development Agency recommended looking into the construction of a wet lab to complement their ex isting life sciences incubator. This type of ex pansion services incubator has been successful in other regions, according to staff. The construction of a wet lab would provide an opportunity for the city to attract a wider variety of medical technology companies, serving as a catalyst to recruit medical research and development startups that are seeking to work outside of the coastal regions. ccording to staff, the city has spoken to multiple startups that see to move inland but can t find adequate resources to assist their ex pansion. The development of a wet lab could remove that challenge in the region. Accompanying the wet lab would also be a dry lab space used for computer modeling, calculations, projections and data analysis. The build-out would create minor additional ongoing costs; the largest would be lab management.

The long-term goal would be to grow the center to the point that it would require a full-time lab manager and to seek grant funding to cover that future ex pense. Bio-waste disposal is also a very small contracted service that could be covered by the economic development division budget. There are increased site operations which will be maintained by the Murrieta Partnership with no additional costs to the city. The build-out would create space for 19 oﬃce tenants and an additional 20 coworking tenants. Over a 10-year period, the center could create between $25 million and $85 million in tax able sales revenue. Job creation is estimated to be between 117 and 390 jobs during the 10-year period. The jobs would primarily be white-collar, high-tech positions that generate nearly $22,000 per employee, per year in disposable income. The city, in order to finalize their submission to the U.S. Department of Commerce for a grant to build out the Murrieta Innovation Center with a wet lab, dry lab and creative oﬃce space, would need to commit 10% of the total grant amount, which the total grant amount is approx imately $3 million. The city would provide a commitment letter in the amount of $300,811 in matching funds. The decision was made during the city council meeting.

Hemet City Council to allow city surplus land sales, except Covel Building Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

After the initial resolution to sell all of Hemet’s surplus land was defeated in a 2-2 vote, the Hemet City Council Tuesday, Oct. 27, decided to declare that all but the downtown Covel Building surplus land could be sold if there was any interest. W ith the decision, Hemet is now in compliance with the new state legislation that requires all local agencies to prioriti e affordable housing, as well as parks and open space, when disposing of surplus land. The California Surplus Land ct that too effect an. 1 is part of an effort by the state to ma e the ex tensive inventory of local agency property held for future use available for development as affordable housing. The new law also declares that holding property for the purpose of future industrial, commercial or retail development is no longer considered a public use. The divided council ex pressed their concern in September about the new surplus state land act, suggesting it takes away the city’s right to deny sales to developers for projects that could reduce the current area’s land values or if they wanted to open a business on the location, they could not. The council would retain the right to sell the property at its current land value. The council learned that if they should find a buyer for the surplus property with the goal of creating a low-income housing development

but disagreed with the terms of sale the property within a 90-day period, it would revert back to the city. The city could sell it to whichever buyer wanted it after the 90 days, with the ex ception that if a residential developer wanted to buy the property, the buyer must set aside 15% of the units for aﬀordable housing. Councilmember Michael Perciful, who initially voted not to sell any of the surplus property, said he learned the surplus property that the city owns is too small or too encumbered for the most part to be useful to a larger developer, with the ex ception of the Covel Building in downtown Hemet on Florida Avenue. The building is currently being used as a city oﬃce for the engineering department. Mayor Russ Brown, Perciful, Councilmember Karlee Meyer and Mayor Pro Tem Linda Krupa agreed Oct. 27, to place those properties up for sale. Former Councilmember Bonnie W right resigned her position on the council recently, leaving the seat open until after the Nov. 3 election. The council gave its consent to a resolution authorizing the city manager Chris Lopez to enter a memorandum of understanding with the cities of Murrieta and Menifee for the consolidation of a Special W eapons and Tactics Team. Since 1998, Hemet’s police department has worked with the Murrieta police department’s SW AT teams. Now the new MOU includes the new Menifee SW AT team that was started

this year. The MOU gives the Menifee SW AT time or “onboarding time” to fill in their team and the added equipment that may be needed. Meanwhile, the fully equipped Murrieta and Menifee teams will assist the Menifee police department during SW AT missions. The “onboarding” period is ex pected to be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not longer than 36 months. The “onboarding” period refers to the time required for the Menifee Police Department to commit at least 10 SW AT team members of the rank of sergeant or below to the Southwest Cities Special W eapons and Tactics Team. The SW AT team members shall be capable of and be equipped to be deployed in a SW AT incident or mission. The council with some discussion also agreed to a resolution authorizing the emet nified chool istrict to form a community facilities district to help finance a 92-home development planned in the city. Normally, the city would form the , but for the first time in 10 years, the city agreed to allow the school district to take the lead in forming the CFD. The agreement would benefit the developer, the city and the school district. The developer still retains the responsibility to pay the fees, but it would be compensated later with $638,000 in development impact fees.

Once a foster child, a local mother creates a community network called The Penny Project Lexington Howe STAFF WRITER

Menifee resident Kaylee May is creating a community communications network called The Penny Project, named after her foster mother, for those working together in the foster care system. “It started about a year ago – my foster mom passed away in April 2019,” May said. “I had actually started an Instagram for the restaurant that I work at and I was on social media a lot, and I was seeing a lot of advertisements and stuff li e that, and came across one for a program called Together W e Rise.” ogether e ise is a nonprofit organization for foster children. “One thing that they focus on is ma ing du e bags, supplying them for foster kids,” May said. “I remember cause when I was in foster care, they put all your stuff in big blac trash bags, and that’s how you travel from house to house.” She talked with her foster father about it. “I just recently went to Utah,

which is where he lives and where I was in care and I saw him, and he lives alone in a small town and it just brought back the idea for me,” she said. She left the idea on the back burner for a time due to life being busy, May said. “G etting close to the holidays, I just wanted to do what I could and I felt like maybe using my voice and my knowledge would help,” May said. She went into foster care when she was 13, and aged out at 19. One of her ideas was to help connect those to gift drives for Christmas, as she had received gifts one year from strangers. Another idea was focusing on helping group homes. “I’ve been talking to a group home, Oak G rove Center,” May said. “They actually can house up to 76 – anywhere from ages 8-18 – and they have a high need for kids to be sponsored, because group home settings are generally more like a last resort.” May said there are levels to foster care. “Y ou have your kids who are

in the family setting; you have ones that are in proctor care; and then you have group homes where sometimes if you’re not behaving in your foster home, or multiple foster homes, you then get sent to a group home setting,” May said. “Sometimes it may not be behavioral, it may just be because of lack of foster homes.” May also has been in contact with El Roi, a foster closet in Bonsall that allows foster kids to shop for thrift clothing. “I think what they do is very important, because when I was in foster care and when I was going through the system one of the things that I realized was the lack of clothing and having nice things,” May said. “A lot of the homes that I went through before I got to the home that I was in, my last home with Penny, everything was very used and worn-out. “I had gone through a few homes that would have ﬁve, si girls, and it’s just special to me that there’s people out there who are trying to – just to give these kids a place to go to kind of shop and to pick out things that they like and to feel special. I think that’s really important,” May said. May contacted other groups as well. “I think that the older that I get as life goes on, I just have more of an appreciation for the things that the adults in my life did,” May

expe cted,” Hennessy said. Hennessy said major revenue streams that did much better than projected include sales tax funds, which lost only $2.7 million versus a projected $6.6 million loss, and Measure S sales tax funds ( revenue from the one-cent sales tax increase passed in 2016) which lost only $512,000 versus a projected loss of $5.3 million. Those revenue sources, she said, directly follow consumer spending patterns, and similar revenue sources ex ceeded ex pectations across the state. “W ith unemployment rates at an all-time high, it was felt that the ma ority of those aﬀected were lower wage earners and from the service sector, who produce a lesser share of the sales tax and Measure S revenue,” Hennessy said. “The sector of workers who remained employed and telecommuted actually had an increase in their disposable income due to less spending on commuting, entertain-

ment and travel.” In presenting midyear budget adjustments to the city council, ennessy said staﬀ were recommending the city reverse budget reduction measures taken earlier in 2020. Some of the reduction measures taken in June included the release of 137 part-time or seasonal employees, the majority of which were under the Temecula Community Services District, reducing contributions to reserves, deferring hiring and pushing back some projects, including moving the Y nez Road widening project from fiscal year 2021-2022 to 2024-202 . W ith the more than $9 million in surplus funds, Hennessy said the city can now restore reserve funds that were originally ex pected to be needed for balancing the city’s budget over the nex t few years, as well as divert about $2 million to oﬀset overruns on the argarita Recreation Center Project and speed up the Y nez Road widening project. The city will now be able to partially fund the project by dividing it into two phases, with the $2 million phase one, which will have northbound Y nez Road ex panded to two northbound lanes between Rancho Vista and Rancho California roads, to be completed by 2022.

The second phase, in which Y nez will be widened to two lanes in each direction between Rancho Vista and La Paz roads, remains pushed out to the 2024-202 ﬁscal year, and work cannot begin until a funding source is identiﬁed for about $5.6 million out of the total $6.5 million cost of the project. The city can also begin recruitment for nine of 15 currently vacant positions, and begin rehiring for 15 projects positions within the Temecula Community Services District to support eventual reopenings, though Community Services District facilities will only start to be gradually reopened early next year. “W hen the budget was developed during the March-April timeframe, the duration of the stay at home orders and facilities closures was unknown. For budgeting purposes, we assumed that ( the Temecula Community Services District) would resume a normal level of operations beginning July 1,” Hennessy said. “But now that we’re in the eighth month of sustained closures with an unknown end date, budget assumptions have been changed to re ect a gradual reopening in January 2021.” The city council approved the budget revisions unanimously.

It’s been tough for them, and I just felt like they needed a voice.” Celaya attended San Diego State University studying communications with an emphasis in advertising, but she ended up getting a job in accounting because she was good at it. “I’m still an accountant, but this is something that I can actually do in relation to my degree now,” Celaya said of the new podcast project. As the project is fairly new, she said she enlisted her husband to help her, along with a few members of the community. Celaya has interviewed several local artists in the area. ummer ree e was my ﬁrst interview, and I knew her from a prior event that I went to,” Celaya said. “She was actually at a restaurant; she was singing and I met her there.” W ord got out, she said, and other artists started contacting Celaya. “I felt like I had to reach out to people, but I really didn’t because they were sending me their media ﬁles, their music, elaya said. t was really, really cool that they were just as interested in doing this project as me.

Jay Tree has been recording his album locally at a studio, according to Celaya. “It’s just been a chain reaction, and it’s been really cool,” Celaya said. The podcasts are released sporadically since Celaya said she is working on other things along with this project, but she hopes to try and be more consistent and release at least a few each month. W hile live events are on hold due to COVID-19, Celaya said she hopes to announce when events are happening and give local shout outs in the future when things start to come back. Celaya created the artwork for the show. “I’m a skull artist,” Celaya said. “I also have a sugar skull art business, so the whole skull and the whole thing of pirate radio, it’s almost obsolete. I just came up with a skull image, and I think it’s just a personal thing. “W hen I draw my art in acrylic, always do s ulls doing stuff, so

diversity, primarily because developments and highways have limited their ability to move across the landscape and mate with lions from other populations. “The area adjacent to the South Parcel is really only one of the few remaining areas where the Santa Ana mountain lions can connect with the lions in the Eastern and insular ranges. From the perspective of the long-term survival of that population, we need to preserve that linkage,” Rose said. The two years of legal challenges over the 270-acre Altair Development near Business Park Drive and Diaz Road in Temecula wasn’t something she wanted to be involved in, Nelson said, but it was necessary. She said she is glad to see the challenge come to an end amicably. “That’s why we worked together with everybody we could think of, and that’s why we worked so hard before the lawsuit, the year and a half plus,” she said. “And tried to get everybody’s voice and tried to really compromise and figure out how to make that crossing functional and have enough buffer. “There just wasn’t a consensus there so we could get with the developer and the city. So, that’s why we had to do it and we didn’t want to, because that s the first time ve ever been involved in a lawsuit. I really had a hard time doing it because I was also questioned by a lot of people too, ‘Are you sure you want to do this “The developer and city during the lawsuit period did try to work with us, they really worked hard,” Nelson said. Planned for an area near the 55-acre site in question is the longawaited W estern Bypass road that traverses the westernmost portion of the city and provides alternative routes for cars traveling out from the city’s business district. “Our big hope was to have the W estern Bypass be the boundary, so there was nothing beyond the W estern Bypass to the west and south,” Nelson said. “That was what our goal was, but we had to compromise on fill dirt, and then Village G , we have a chance to buy it within a seven-year period. It’s not perfect, but it’s a lot better

than having the whole southern parcel developed. W e’ve got a good swath of land there to be able to try to figure out how to turn it into a really functional wildlife crossing.” The south parcel fronts the Cleveland National Forest to the west and would also promote protection of western pond turtles and other fragmented wildlife, according to the CBD. Riverside County Superior Court Judge Daniel Ottolia in arch sided with the plaintiffs, finding aws in the , culminating in the parcel preservation agreement. Under the agreement, the parcel will not only be preserved and reforested, but the city of Temecula will hire a ranger to monitor the space to ensure it is not disturbed. According to the conservation groups, the California Fish & G ame Commission is now considering adding Santa Ana mountain lions and other cougar populations elsewhere to the state’s Endangered Species Act. That’s why it was crucial to the groups to preserve this passing as much as possible. Even so, Rose said that the exi sting crossing, one of the only possible crossings for the cats and other wildlife in the region, is not perfect. “There is some vegetation under the Temecula Creek crossing area, but it needs some restoration,” he said. “For instance, soundproofing, so there’s less freeway noise. There’s some invasive species; there’s some trespass issues. There are folks working on that, I believe The Nature Conservancy is spearheading part of the effort on that. Nelson said other projects are underway that could include making modifications to ex isting culverts along I-15 to make them more animal friendly and possibly a dedicated animal crossing overpass in the ext reme southern portion of the city near the county line. his success is the first step in this whole series of crossings,” Nelson said.

More Democrats than Republicans in Riverside County, but southwest county still has red tint Will Fritz ASSOCIATE EDITOR

For most of its history, Riverside County has been a stronghold of the Republican Party, with the Republican candidate for president carrying the county in all but four elections until 2008. That year, Barack Obama won the county by about 2% . He went on to win the county by a narrower margin of around 1.5% in 2012, and Hillary Clinton carried Riverside County by more than 5 points in 2016, albeit with a higher percentage of voters casting their ballots for third-party candidates that year. As of Oct. 19, 2020, there were more registered Democrats in Riverside County than Republicans, with 39.71% of the county’s population being Democrats, 32.57% epublicans, 21.48 reporting no party preference and the remaining approxi mately 6% registered to third parties, according to data from the California Secretary of tate s ﬃce. Of the nearly 1.5 million eligible voters in Riverside County, 83.21% , or around 1.2 million people, were actually registered to vote. Despite the county’s apparent leftward trend, Republicans continue to dominate some local elections the 42nd ongressional District, which spans from Corona to Murrieta, is represented by Rep.

Ken Calvert, a Republican, and is not e pected to ip in 2020. he race is much closer, though, in the 50th Congressional District, which includes Temecula as well as parts of northern and eastern San Diego County. There, Republican Darrell Issa and Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar have been neck-and-neck in polling in the race to replace former Rep. Duncan Hunter, the Republican who resigned in 2019 after pleading guilty to misusing campaign funds. Plenty of lower-level seats remain in Republican hands for now. Republican State Sen. Melissa Melendez won a special election to represent the 28th State Senate District, which includes southwest Riverside County and the eastern portion of the county ext ending to the Arizona border, earlier in 2020.

Menifee joins Southwest Communities Financing Authority Joe Naiman WRITER

The city of Menifee has been added to the Southwest Communities Financing Authority. A 5-0 Riverside County Board of Supervisors vote Tuesday, Oct. 20, added the city of Menifee to the joint powers authority which provides animal services in unincorporated southwest Riverside County and

ﬁve other incorporated cities. he approval of the amendment to the Southwest Communities Financing Authority agreement also added a representative from Menifee on the joint powers authority board. The Southwest Communities Financing Authority was created for the purpose of ﬁnancing and constructing an animal shelter in southwest Riverside County. In ovember 2004, the county su-

pervisors approved the Southwest Communities Financing Authority which involved the cities of Canyon Lake, Lake Elsinore, Murrieta and Temecula as well as the county for the unincorporated portions of southwest Riverside County. An October 2010 amendment added W ildomar to the joint powers authority. In January 2006, a memorandum of understanding was approved in

which Animal Friends of the Valleys would assist the Southwest Communities Financing Authority with the development and construction of the animal shelter and would operate the shelter following the completion of the construction. Animal Friends of the Valleys leased land in W ildomar from the Elsinore Valley Municipal W ater District. Construction on the 32,000-square-foot shelter began in 2008 and the shelter opened to the

public in October 2010. The initial five-year operational agreement between the Southwest Communities Financing Authority and Animal Friends of the Valleys was approved in August 2010 and the most recent five-year contract was approved June 30 and covers July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2025.

Temecula chamber hosts council candidates forum Will Fritz ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Five candidates for the two Temecula City Council seats up for grabs this year took part in a virtual forum hosted on Z oom by the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce Monday, Oct. 26. Moderated by Brian Connors, former chairman of the chamber board, questions for the forum were solicited from the community and had a focus on Temecula’s business environment and candidates’ plans to improve the city. Temecula City Council District 4 candidates who too part in the forum included Mark G ular, Adam Ruiz and James “Stew” Stewart, and District 2 candidates in the forum were Jessica Alex ander and Alisha W ilkins. Absent from the event was District 2 candidate Andy Black, who withdrew from the race and endorsed Alexa nder, although his name remains on the ballot, as well as istrict 4 candidate onia ere . Candidates were asked individual questions, plus two “roundtable” questions for discussion by each candidate. The first roundtable question posed to all of the candidates was related to financial issues faced by Temecula amid the COVID-19 pandemic – the city’s revenue dropped during the 2019-2020 fiscal year, but was able to be balanced with reserve funds. hat financial changes will the city need to make with the reduced revenue from the COVID issues this year onnors as ed the candidates. “How will you make sure the additional 1% sales tax approved by the citizens stays applied to infrastructure and what it was intended for, not the general fund Measure S, the one-cent sales tax increase passed by Temecula voters in 2016, does go to the city’s general fund, though it was advertised as being specifically directed “to maintain 911 emergency re-

sponse times, prevent cuts to local paramedic police fire protection, school safety patrols, youth/afterschool, senior, disabled services; improve freeway interchanges/ reduce traffic and other general services” when it appeared on the ballot four years ago. G ular, who listed his current occupation as a Navy reservist and student, was the first to answer. “As a council member, I would have to ask myself why wouldn’t the 1% go toward its intended distribution he said. ince the citizens are the ones who approved the 1% increase, I would honor the infrastructure and its intent. Y ou know, in order for us to hold the line, the city and each department would have to mind their operating expe nses and being part of the city council team, we’re going to have to maintain our integrity by regularly viewing and evaluating our operational spending.” Stewart, the former mayor who resigned earlier this year over an email that was criticized as racist, though he maintained it resulted from a typo, took the time to suggest the city use some of the Measure S funds to pay for a new police station. “W e have the funds available to actually put our officers within our city limits, instead of driving to and from French Valley, at last check $185 an hour we’re paying for them to commute from French Valley into our city,” Stewart said. “And I think there’s a lot of value to having our police officers in our city center, preferably I like having them by the old city hall because that would create an instantaneous response to Old Town, and if we get a lot of calls, it will be to Old Town.” W hile the city’s projected budgets for the ne t five years are balanced, it is due to multiple budget reduction measures, Temecula’s chief financial officer told the city council in June a couple of weeks after Stewart’s resignation, and the city will have to dip into reserves

by about $800,000 next year and about $250,000 the year after. Ruiz, a business owner who is currently vice chair of the Temecula Community Services Commission, said that Measure S funds can be applied to the general fund despite the earmarks advertised when it was on the ballot. “A budget is a living working document so I think it’s important that we take time to really look at that and go, ‘How is this money being spent and how are we allocating what we need to do Ruiz said. “I do think moving forward we’re going to have to prioritize some of our ex penditures and maybe look to defer some of those out, but it’s crucial for me that we maintain public safety and don’t forego any of that. I think the spending that we do needs to be responsible.” W ilkins, a local business owner and current chair of the California governor’s Commission on the Status of W omen and G irls, said the Measure S funds are needed not just for the infrastructure earmark but to maintain other aspects of the community as needed. “W e need to fund our city at the appropriate levels to maintain the high quality of life and services that are provided to our community whether it’s for parks and recreation, or law enforcement et cetera, we need to maintain those levels,” W ilkins said. “I would be very cautious about doing any kind of knee-jerk reaction on funding that goes to those particular services because there has been so much instability in our community as a result of COVID-19, but at the same time, we also have to make sure that we’re also willing to pivot. I mean, what we don’t want to do is ignore our businesses that are suﬀering right now. Alexa nder, a business owner as well as a former Marine and police officer, answered the question by describing herself as a ﬁscal conservative.”

“If we need to pause projects or push them out, well, that’s a possibility, but our biggest thing for me is maintaining the safety and the quality of life here, to make sure that we’re still attractive to bring businesses in to maintain and stay strong to bring revenue continuously,” she said. “The transparency part is so important as well and working together with everyone in city hall to ensure that the money is spent exa ctly where we put it, where the public wants to put it.” The candidates were also asked about their views on bringing more businesses to Temecula. “W hat do you see as the biggest obstacles to bringing businesses with uality obs to this city Connors asked. “W hat do you think are the solutions to removing those obstacles so that employers will want to relocate here G ular said he doesn’t see any problems for businesses relocating to Temecula and suggested encouraging employers to allow the city’s workforce, much of it consisting of commuters, to telecommute. “A lot of people are moving here from L.A., O.C. and San Diego li e myself for the more aﬀordable living, so I think we are creating a more diverse atmosphere and attracting talent these employers would want to hire for their businesses,” G ular said. W ilkins said before even considering attracting new business, the city must focus on the current business population, which she said earlier is facing problems due to the pandemic. “One of the first things that comes to my mind when I’m considering that question is how can we attract new businesses when the current businesses we have aren t happy and thriving W ilkins said. “And so I truly believe in that concept of ‘Take care of home ﬁrst. o that s what I’m proposing, is that we need to take care of the folks that are al-

ready here, make sure that they’re profitable so that they can actually be our ambassadors to other businesses. Because they are much better spokespeople for Temecula as business owners than we are ourselves.” Stewart said he thinks it will actually be quite easy to attract businesses to Temecula once planned infrastructure improvements to Interstate 15 are in place. “As far as attracting business to Temecula, that is not going to be as hard as you think because we ve got the freeway fi that is going to start in approx imately one year, and I think that’s gonna be a critical fi to the ne t chapter of the city of Temecula is when we get those aux iliary lanes put in and we get the yover put in and the backup doesn’t go all the way to Fallbrook,” Stewart said. “I think it will become a lot more attractive to attract businesses here.” Ruiz said he believes the city needs to continue marketing itself – something he believes is already being done fairly well. “There’s a lot of times that I traveled in the past or I even heard stories of people coming back from an event like ICSC ( International Council of Shopping Centers) where they say ‘Temecula’ and people say here is that m not ex actly sure what Temecula is,’” Ruiz said. “And now people know ex actly where it is, they know ex actly what we have here.” Alexa nder said focusing on issues like higher tax es would be her main focus. That issue, though, is not one that could be tackled entirely at the city level. “In my opinion, after knocking on thousands of doors and talking to the people of Temecula, I’m gonna be honest with you, it breaks my heart when I see that these people want to leave California,” Alex ander said. “It’s ex pensive for them, or the tax es are going up, they can’t have their businesses here. My biggest thing is I am running so other people don’t have to run anymore. I don’t want people to have to leave California and have to leave their homes. W e want to make sure that they stay here because if they stay here, their businesses stay here, and so my opinion is let s bring an in u . et s continue to bring an in u of these businesses here. Let’s support them let’s get them to thrive in their businesses and continue to work with these small businesses as well to continue to grow.” W ill F ritz can b e reach ed b y em ail at wfritz @ reederm edia. com .

The annexa tions will not be recorded until after the expi ration of a 30-day protest period. The land consists of one legal parcel south of Elm Street, west of Interstate 15, north of Cherry Street and east of Adams Avenue. The property is currently undeveloped and uninhabited. The property owner, whose written consent to the annex ation gave the LAFCO action 100% support among affected property owners, plans to develop a 15,000-square-foot oﬃce building and a 4,900-s uarefoot shop.

The Rancho California W ater District will provide potable water from a 16-inch pipeline on Madison Avenue.

The 2 0 2 0 W orld S eries Champions are the L os Angeles Dodgers.

Stephen Hawkins AP WRITER

No large dogpile, no Champagne and a mask on nearly every face – the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated their first orld eries title since 1988, Tuesday, Oct. 27, in a manner no one could have imagined before the coronavirus pandemic. They started the party without Justin Turner, too, after their redheaded star received word of a positive COVID-19 test in the middle of their clinching victory. Turner was removed from Los Angeles’ 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays in G ame 6 Tuesday night, after registering Major eague aseball s first positive test in 59 days. He wasn’t on the field initially as the odgers enjoyed the spoils of a title earned during a most unusual season. He returned to the diamond about an hour after the game, hugging longtime teammate Clayton Kershaw and sitting front-andcenter for a team photo nex t to manager Dave Roberts with his mask pulled down under his bushy beard. “Thanks to everyone reaching out,” Turner said on Twitter. “I feel

great, no symptoms at all. Just experienced every emotion you can possibly imagine. Can’t believe I couldn’t be out there to celebrate with my guys. o proud of this team and unbelievably happy for the city of L.A.” Major League Baseball insulated postseason teams in neutral-site bubbles after traveling them across the country during a shortened 60game season. urner was the ﬁrst player since the playoﬀs began to be agged for the coronavirus.

The ‘F’ stands for functional training, and the sessions are 4 5 minutes long. The F45 gyms are franchises, and though connected as a community, they are not part of a chain and not the same as bigbox gyms. Most are family-owned, member-focused and communityoriented. e all wor ed hard to stay in business during the lockdown,” Temecula owner Eva Ebersole said. “Classes were given remotely so people could work out at home until the city slowly opened up again.” ith people somewhat still stuck at home, and the constant opening and closing of facilities here locally, residents have a need for physical and mental health exe rcise. Murrieta’s F4 5 owners, Brad and Cara Coonradt, said the most important thing is to limit social interaction during workouts, which is going to be crucial to opening their new business during

the pandemic. “I can’t understand closing down the main source of people’s ex ercise,” Brad Coonradt said. “Many people do not have the discipline to work out at home. They need support and someone to guide them to achieving their goals.” or many, ﬁtness is also connected to a safe place and a community, and the F4 5 gyms all adhere to strict safety measures. “The industry is on the edge of collapse, but the narrative is false,” Brad said. “Our gyms are not places of COVID-19 spread. There have been no cases of large transmissions in studios. e should be separated from large gyms.” As a means to ramp up the excitement of opening their gym, and once it was permitted, the Coonradts looked to their future F4 5 instructors to begin holding classes outdoors in the good weather. They plan to eventually move inside when the construction of their studio wraps up in the coming weeks, with strict rules attached. e plan to stay on top of things at our gym,” Brad Coonradt said. “Every member will be 2-3 meters apart from others, in all directions, everyone comes in masked, there is no shared equipment, space s uares are mar ed oﬀ and there are sanitation stations everywhere with cleaning materials. e will be doing everything needed to provide this essential service in a safe way, and the evidence from other

EDUCATION

Principals for a Day open their eyes to the ‘new education’ Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Christi Barrett, superintendent of emet nified chool istrict, and principals of the district’s 22 schools invited emet city officials, local business owners and community leaders to become “Principals for a ay ednesday, ct. 2 . s a staff writer for the alley News and former teacher, I was surprised and attered to be invited to a preschool nex t to Hemet Elementary chool. s pictured a principal, put on my best shirt and tie, filled my briefcase with some lined paper, pens and pencils and headed off to school, ready to meet with some teachers and the smallest students. As I met Alice Chung, Ed.D., the principal of the school and lead principal for the other district preschools, at 8 0 a.m., the first new thing for this would-be principal was to wear a mas . ith the knowledge that the mask was more to protect others rather than myself, wal ed into the preschool office, greeted the office manager and attendance clerk, provided my ID and had my photo taken, following the normal school entry procedure. That process was new for me, not to mention the plex iglass partitions, hand sanitizers and other preventative health measures. It was certainly different from my childhood school, where as a kindergartner, I could curl up on my own rug and blanket and take a nap. Chung greeted me as I was ushered into her office. he removed her mask for a moment and smiled in welcome, before inviting me to sit down in front of the double-screen monitor on her desk. In the quiet room, I could hear no screams or yells coming from outside as you might ex pect from ex cited active preschoolers and no conversation from other teachers, whom I had

hoped to meet personally. Only the big monitor in front of me beckoned, as the other Principals for the Day and some teachers joined a Z oom meeting. I saw a wave from another Principal of Day, Hemet Mayor Russ Brown, to other city council members and local business leaders. elcome to the new world of education. It was not what I ex pected. I had no other personal contact, ex cept with my knowledgeable host. During the introductory meeting, I learned I would visit many other classrooms or learning centers through the computer, viewing the students and teachers as they engaged in online teaching. Y et, what I saw in those two short hours with Chung was both amazing and, in a way, hopeful for today’s youth. In all civilizations, there is one truth: education never changes, only its vocabulary does. Education is a must for survival. It is evident to me that teachers will do whatever it takes to guide their students into their adult lives with the skills necessary to survive and prosper. hen the coronavirus pandemic began, Chung said she, other principals and administrators quickly had to bring education into their children’s homes rather than the classroom. t ﬁrst, the answer was to create home studies for all disciplines, which was not easy for some subjects, such as chemistry, biology or trades, where hands-on work is necessary. They began by looking at online studies from universities and private industry, but in March, not every student had access to the internet, the computers and the software needed. or ing parents also had no time to teach their children. Teachers were called upon to create written lesson packets, which were sent home for children to continue learning. ome teachers put in 24 -hour days, while the district’s in-

formation technology team worked to bring the internet and technical skills into homes. chools also wrestled with the challenge of student accountability, as they are required by law to attend school. The issue was resolved temporarily as the district took advantage of the state’s food distribution system for low-income students. The weekly study packages, tex tbooks and food required students to return their completed homework with the nex t week’s food pickup. ith grants from state and federal coronavirus stimulus packages, every student was issued a Chromebook in August to begin the new school year. The district used i- i e uipped school buses to provide internet access in areas without access, along with help from i- i e uipped businesses. ith all those things in place, most students could access the internet and continue their learning from home. Nex t, the district created an education schedule employing synchronous and asynchronous learning bloc s. ynchronous learning ta es place when a student is studying alone, without direct contact with the teacher. Asynchronous learning takes place in online video teleconference sessions with a teacher and their students. iewing from hung s oﬃce, saw teachers working in their virtual classrooms. One screen showed the teacher’s screen containing live images of each student. On the adjacent screen was an attendance and action table, which was electronically connected to each of the students’ Chromebooks. hen a student chec ed in on their device, the data was received by the teachers’ computer. The student is required to check in online with the teacher at certain times and on certain days. This interaction is recorded.

I found it interesting that the younger students appeared on the teacher’s screens, but many middle school and high school students only showed their name and a icon. Chung said it is up to each student if they want to have their video turned on, and schools have to follow the HIPAA privacy rules. The school video conferencing systems are highly secure; they work hard to prevent hacking and students are advised to be watchful, Chung said. I watched an elementary school class review a lesson with their teacher. The students snapped their fingers to say when they were done and understood the lesson. I saw a middle school teacher as they went over a lesson, watching the screen that showed the progress of individual students as they completed the written lesson. The teacher could talk directly to a student and ask or answer questions. In a preschool class, the students were learning shapes and showing what a particular shape looked like on the screen by drawing or tracing the shape. he ah uit igh chool drama teacher showed students the steps to prepare a video production, before the actors created the actual screening. The students asked him questions as the class continued. Chung said that the Hemet middle and high schools are trying to open up different pathways for students who would prefer to go into trades rather than attend college. The vocational teachers are facing more difficulties, she said, in providing the necessary hands-on training but are finding local trade organi ations businesses to bring in student apprentices to fill the gap. The district made academic and emotional assistance available to students through specialists who make one-on-one appointments, hung said. pecial education

students are provided one-on-one time with educational specialists as their needs arise. Online classes are being presented outside of school time for English language learners and their parents. he board said it plans to reopen schools with health and safety measures in place as soon as the COVID-19 pandemic diminishes. The health and welfare of every student and teacher in the district has been and must be the first priority, according to the district. How and when the schools reopen is up to the state and county. As I left the school, I considered how the methods of teaching have changed since my years in elementary, junior high school and high school. Even a decade ago when I was teaching, things have changed with the advent of new technology. I have the greatest respect for the administrators and staff of , Barrett and her team’s leadership and the district’s teachers who, despite every roadblock put up during the coronavirus pandemic, have rallied to bring children the best skills to cope with the future. I maintain that educators know well that the lack of social interaction between children, their peers and adults must end soon, yet teachers will continue teaching children what they need to know as best they can. im omero, secondary pathway specialist, spoke during a final oom meeting. “Everyone’s learning,” Romero said. “It’s really going to be a fun year this year.” Barrett asked the Principals for the ay, ill you be our ambassadors to the community? ” I hope so.

California judge rules Gov. Newsom overstepped constitutional boundaries Julie Reeder PUBLISHER

A judge preliminarily ordered California G ov. G avin Newsom Monday, Nov. 2, to stop issuing directives related to the coronavirus pandemic. he more broadly barred him “from ex ercising any power under the California Emergency ervices ct which amends, alters or changes ex isting statutory law or makes new statutory law or legislative policy.” It was a win for Republican Assemblymembers Kevin Kiley and ames allagher, who ﬁled a lawsuit against Newsom, a Democrat. Newsom, according to the complaint ﬁled, had overstepped his constitutional boundaries with 53 Ex ecutive Orders and by singlehandedly, without the legislature, amending, suspending and overhauling over 4 00 laws since declaring a tate of mergency, arch 4. According to Kiley, “Each one was duly enacted through the legislative process set out in the Constitution. And each one was undone by Newsom with the stroke of a pen.” utter ounty uperior ourt udge arah ec man tentatively ruled that Newsom had overstepped his authority and it was “an unconstitutional ex ercise of legislative power.” “This is a victory for separation of powers,” the lawmakers said in a joint statement. Newsom “has continued to create and change state law without public input and without the deliberative process provided by the Legislature.” Heckman wrote in a nine-page

decision that the California Emergency ervices ct does not permit the governor to amend statutes or make new statutes. The governor does not have the power or authority to assume the Legislature’s role of creating legislative policy and enactments.” Newsom used his emergency powers to virtually shut down the state and its economy in the early weeks of the pandemic. Heckman’s decision will become final in 10 days unless ewsom s attorneys can raise new challenges. Newsom’s administration is evaluating its nex t steps and strongly disagrees with the order’s specific limitations, esse elgar, representative for the governor’s office, said. The judge found the California mergency ervices ct itself to be constitutional and made it clear that Newsom “has the authority, necessary in emergencies, to suspend statutes and issue orders to protect Californians,” he said in a statement. However, the issue was not suspending statutes, but rather creating new ones or amending statutes. he udge ruled ection 8 only allows the governor to ‘make, amend and rescind orders and regulations.’ Clearly the legislature understands the distinction between an order or regulation on the one hand, and a statute on the other. ection 8 does not empower the governor to make or amend statutes.” “Nobody disputes that there are actions that should be taken to keep people safe during an emergency,” the lawmakers said. “But

that doesn’t mean that we put our Constitution and free society on hold by centralizing all power in the hands of one man.” One Ex ecutive Order N-67-20 which changed California elections was found unlawful in that it amended sections of the election code and ex ceeded the governor’s authority under the and so this decision rendered Ex ecutive Order N-67-20 invalid. Kiley compiled a 28-page list of Newsom’s orders that alter ex isting state laws, from halting evictions to how public meetings are conducted. The governor also ex tended deadlines for businesses to renew licenses, file reports or pay ta es delayed consumers’ late fees for paying tax es or renewing driver’s licenses; suspended school districts’ deadlines and instructional requirements; suspended medical privacy rules and allowed grocery stores to hand out free single-use bags. Lawmakers of both political parties have criticized Newsom for not properly consulting with them before issuing sweeping orders and budget decisions. The question as to whether the is constitutional itself is still going through the courts. In addition to a precedent-setting decision in Pennsylvania this summer, the ichigan upreme ourt issued a decision two days after plaintiffs filed their reply brief, which held that an emergency powers law similar to California’s violates a constitutional separation-of-powers provision virtually identical to California’s.

G ov. G avin N ewsom has b een ordered to stop issuing directives Valley News/Courtesy photo related to the coronavirus pandemic.

The court there found “an unlawful delegation of legislative power to the ex ecutive branch,” ust as plaintiffs here argue that “lawmaking power cannot be constitutionally delegated” to the ex ecutive branch. The court there relied on the proposition that a Legislature cannot give the ex ecutive branch “a roving commission to repeal or amend by ex ecutive order unspecified provisions included anywhere in the entire body of state law,” ust as plaintiffs here argued that the Legislature cannot “give the

ex ecutive branch a roving authority to create any and all new laws in any California code.” As noted in their reply brief, plaintiﬀs primary legal theory in this case does not re uire a ﬁnding that the mergency ervices ct is unconstitutional. However, both sides agree that the question of whether it is constitutional is before the court. D on T h om p son of T h e Associated P ress contrib uted to th is story .

Supervisors approve two union agreements, totaling nearly $60 million City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Riverside County Board of upervisors uesday, ct. 2 , approved two collective bargaining agreements totaling nearly $60 million, securing pay raises and ma ing other benefits ad ustments for thousands of county government employees over the nex t four to five years. he first contract with the aborers’ International Union of North America, Local 777, was authorized in a 4 -1 vote, with upervisor eff ewitt dissenting. ecause our financial situation gets worse and worse, I will not be voting for any pay raises,” Hewitt said. There were no other comments. The agreement, which is ex pected to cost tax payers $4 0.63 million between now and when it ex pires in October 2024 , covers roughly 7,200 county employees whose last compact was signed

in March 2019, according to the Department of Human Resources. LIUNA members include food service providers, secretaries, nurses and custodians. The agreement specified that union members will be entitled to automatic raises May 1, 2021, 2022 and 202 , with the first two salary hikes being 2% , and the last one 2.5% . The compact also obligated the county to conduct a “market study” after July 2022 to gauge whether -affiliated wor ers are at or above the median minimum salary compared to workers in similar fields outside of county government. alary ranges may be adjusted higher, depending on the study s findings. Members will also be entitled to an additional 20 vacation hours, automatically applied after January 2022, and they will receive increases in health benefits coverage, according to the terms. There is lastly a provision that

LIUNA members at the max imum salary for their classification receive a lump sum stipend, described in the agreement as a “retention bonus,” totaling $750, which will be furnished next year. The second collective bargaining agreement approved by the board was with the iverside heriffs ssociation, specifically the s ublic afety nit, which represents the county’s roughly 0 probation officers. The compact, with a price tag of $19.39 million between now and October 2025, was tentatively authorized in a 5-0 vote and may still be sub ect to modification before final approval. Hewitt walked back his earlier assertion that he would not support pay hi es, saying the accord was an exc eption because “there are more and more people on probation and not behind bars, and it s a very difficult ob wor ing in probation to eep people transitioning back into society.”

ut that s a net gain. o on this one, I’ll be voting yes,” he said. A law enforcement reform advocate, Avalon Edwards, asked the board before its vote to consider using the contract money instead for “direct economic support” to help communities suffering under the public health lockdowns. “This contract will spend millions of dollars for salary increases and payment cushions for probation officers,” she said. “If the county has funds for constant pay raises for law enforcement officers, it should have money to help people during this crisis.” ill oung, president of , told the board that the county is already short-staffed in the epartment of Probation, having lost over 1 0 officers in recent years, largely because of low pay. e need to prop up our probation officers for the times to come, as more people are released onto

the streets,” Y oung said. upervisor aren piegel agreed. “If we don’t pay our guys fair, we may not get good officers, and we need law enforcement officers who are good for the county,” she said. Under the memorandum of understanding, deputy probation officers will be entitled to an immediate salary hike of 4 % , with successive increases that total 10% running to the end of the contract in 2025. Probation officers designated primarily for correctional work will receive similar upward adjustments, only the total will come to 16% over the life of the compact, while senior-level officers can loo forward to cumulative hikes totaling 18% , according to the terms. Officers will also receive an additional 40 vacation hours, and county-funded health insurance subsidies will go up between $25 and $200 a month.

Horse owners urged to protect animals from equine influenza outbreak City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Riverside County Department of nimal ervices warned horse owners Friday, Oct. 30, to beware of an equine influenza outbreak that has killed an estimated three dozen wild burros in the region. ounty and state oﬃcials are monitoring the outbreak while urging horse owners to check in with their veterinarians about booster

vaccines for previously vaccinated animals. Horse owners are also being advised to ensure their animals are not expos ed to sick burros by moving their animals away from fence lines in areas where the burros frequent. he ﬁrst burro death occurred about two weeks ago and the death count is ex pected to rise, according to nimal ervices oﬃcials. The highly contagious virus is specific to equids – such as

horses, mules and donkeys – with severe symptoms more common in donkeys and mules, as well as in younger horses, ages one to five, ohn elsh, representative of county nimal ervices, said Older horses typically ex hibit milder symptoms, and the disease does not affect other species of animals, he said. igns of the virus include fever, edema and enlarged lymph nodes. The disease – one of the most common infectious diseases of the respiratory tract in horses – spreads rapidly through groups of equids in aerosolized droplets dispersed by coughing or through fomite transmission – meaning objects or surfaces which have become infected, officials said. hared waterers, feeders and

other equipment can transfer the disease from one animal to another. Emily Nietrzeba, an equine specialist veterinarian with the California Department of Food and Agriculture, said humans cannot contract the disease, but people can carry the infection and transmit the virus between horses. ounty oﬃcials are reminding the public that feeding the wild burros is against the law and urged people to avoid all contact with the burros, especially anyone who owns horses. Horse owners are also being advised to avoid traveling with their animals if they believe their pets might have been expos ed to the virus and should avoid having other horses come to their proper-

ties to avoid indirect transmission. Most of the wild burro deaths have occurred in the Reche Canyon area, but about six have occurred in the foothills along Pigeon ass oad, eacoc treet and edlands oulevard, elsh said. an ernardino ounty officials said they have not had any reported cases. It is uncertain how many burros are in the hills between Riverside and an ernardino counties, but some estimates put the number at appro imately 00, elsh said. Riverside County, Moreno Valley and an ernardino ounty animal services officers will assist with transporting sick burros, when possible, to the nonprofit organization DonkeyLand for isolation, monitoring and vaccination.

Wall Street rallies ahead of a potentially turbulent week Stan Choe, Damian J. Troise and Alex Veiga AP BUSINESS WRITERS

toc s are closing higher onday, Nov. 2, at the beginning of a potentially turbulent week for mar ets. he 00 rose 1.2 after more companies reported stronger profits for the summer than all treet feared and as reports on manufacturing came in better than ex pected. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 4 22 points, or 1.6% , at 26,928, as of 2 4 p.m. , and the Nasdaq composite was down less than 0.1% . That followed gains across Europe and Asia following better-than-ex pected economic data there. Caution, though, was continuing to hang over markets as the pandemic raises worries that customers will stay away from businesses and pushes more European governments to bring back restrictions. Uncertainty about uesday s . . elections was also weighing on markets, and Treasury yields were dipping. “People are probably more than willing to hold off to see what happens tomorrow night,” David Trainer, CEO of investment research firm ew onstructs, said. It was set to be a busy week for markets, after press time, with the Federal Reserve announcing its latest decision on interest rates hursday, the . . abor epartment releasing its market-moving monthly jobs report Friday and roughly 130 companies in the

00 scheduled to report their results for the summer through the week. Blaring above them all is Election Day. Markets have veered sharply in recent weeks as investors deal with uncertainty about who will control ashington, and what that means for the chances of the . . government delivering more aid for the economy. Many professional investors said they plan to hold steady through whatever volatility the election creates. That’s because history shows politics don’t have a very strong correlation with market returns over the longer term. ut all treet is nevertheless girding for potentially big swings in the interim. The feared scenario for investors is a contested election, where it could take weeks for a winner of the hite ouse to emerge. arkets famously hate uncertainty, and many along all treet e pect stocks to drop in such a scenario. hich party gets control of the enate may be ust as important as the presidency. If Democrats can gain complete control of ashington, many investors ex pect them to deliver a big dose of support for the economy. That plus “more predictable trade policy” could offset the higher tax rates and tighter regulations likely to come out of a Democratic-controlled ashington, according to the BlackRock Investment Institute. Democrats and Republicans have been haggling about a stimulus renewal for months, since

the last round of supplemental benefits for laid-off wor ers and other stimulus ex pired. But a deep partisan divide has so far stymied them. he . . economy has been showing a mix ed performance recently. A Monday report on manufacturing from the Institute for upply anagement gave a reading of 59.3, where anything above 50 indicates growth. That topped economists’ ex pectations for 56. But Friday’s upcoming jobs report may show a fourth straight month of weakening job growth, according to economists’ projections. Investors and economists alike say the economy needs another shot of stimulus, particularly when coronavirus counts are accelerating at troubling rates across Europe and much of the United tates. o far, the toughest restrictions on daily life and businesses have not returned. But even if they don’t, the worry is that fear about the virus will keep customers away from businesses by itself. uch worries helped drive the 00 to a . loss last wee . That was its worst since March, when worries about the first wave of the pandemic were sending stocks around the world into a free fall. orporate profits, meanwhile, are weaker than year-ago levels but continue to be better than all treet had feared.

Concerning The Epoch Times and national news

Julie Reeder PUBLISHER

e had a person complain that Village News, a weekly newspaper that covers orth an iego County from Reeder Media, which also publishes Valley News, ran a story last week in the national news section about the Biden investigation and the evidence found on Hunter Biden’s laptop. It was an important story, although it’s been blacked out from

mainstream media. e used to be able to depend on the daily news for our national news, and it was an industry standard to be unbiased and provide both sides for the reader to make their decision, but not anymore. It is an important national story. The world and its issues are increasingly local issues, whether they concern economics, COVID-19, climate change, etc. Last month, The New Y ork Post, est. 1801, the nation’s oldest continuously published daily newspaper, broke legitimate stories surrounding emails obtained from the laptop that point to deals by Hunter Biden and his associates with ﬁgures in raine and China. Eighty percent of the mainstream media blacked out the story and ignored the evidence. They called them Russian disinformation. here have we heard that before? Also Facebook and Twitter blocked the stories from the legitimate news source.

ome people don t li e that we occasionally use stories from The Epoch Times. However, The Epoch Times has covered a lot of news like this that have ended up being correct and the mainstream media was wrong. Y et the outlets like The New Y ork Times and a media bias chart still label them as “right-wing” to discredit them, but they can’t point to any information that is incorrect. The Biden story is important. The Trump investigation for three years was important. Before the New Y ork Post story, the Biden story was widely documented in bestselling books like “Proﬁles in orruption and ecret mpires by eter chwei er or articles by ohn olomon, who is an award-winning investigative journalist. The truth is if The Epoch Times, Breitbart or FOX didn’t cover the story, no one would have known about it because the mainstream media blocked it’s coverage. The

mainstream media has created the vacuum that was ﬁlled with alternative news outlets. If they were doing a stellar job, there would be no need for FOX or Rush Limbaugh, or dozens of other outlets. The Biden story isn’t going away. The FBI and the intelligence agencies all agreed that the laptop was full of emails, photos and tex t messages that legitimately belonged to Hunter Biden and oe iden. i agents spent ﬁve hours interviewing oe and Hunter Biden’s business partner Tony Bobulinski who verified everything on the hard drive and provided much more information as well as the cellphones he was given to use. An investigation has been ongoing since last year and the FBI listed Bobulinski as a “material witness” regarding the Biden family. The story is real, and The Epoch Times was our only source. Even The Associated Press had it blocked.

And I’m proud of the healthy debate on our opinion page. e are going to continue reporting on a variety of issues, including Dr. Anthony Fauci and the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention changing their minds on how to treat a new virus. e are going to report on the California governor’s opening or locking down California as well as the epidemiologists’ “G reat Barrington Debate.” Our readers can decide for themselves, or cancel their subscription and not have access to tens of thousands of great local, regional and national stories.

Many have shut down, completely or partially, and thousands of workers have lost their jobs. This session, the Legislature adopted measures aimed at supporting businesses and helping workers keep their jobs. For ex ample, I was proud to support enate ill 144 , which provides tax credits for businesses that hire new employees. But we need to do more. G oing forward, we must look at unnecessary rules and regulations that don’t impact health and safety. e should consider ways to shield businesses from lawsuits over COVID-19 ex posure, and provide a sales tax holiday so that

businesses can lure back customers. The last thing we should be considering is increasing taxe s on small businesses as they struggle to stay a oat. ince oining the legislature, have consistently supported repeal of unnecessary, burdensome regulations and opposed tax increases that would negatively impact business formation, worker retention and job growth.

That is just a little over four months away. ow confident are you that the 2021 season will begin as usual? K azarian: did tal to last week, and they asked me if I had my 2021 schedule done. My first comment was, hen do you thin we can start e went bac and forth. After talking about all of the issues we finally said we have to post a schedule that represents that we are bac to normal. e don’t know when that is going to happen. o, we will be posting our 2021 schedule in the next couple of weeks that is going to be very similar to our schedules in the past. I sincerely hope that in February or March we are not in the position that we are currently sitting in now. But I think a lot of things are going to have to happen for us to be open with some capacity for fans. Daloisio: hen you are allowed to open the gates again, do you anticipate the crowds to come in, in large numbers? K azarian: I certainly hope so. It is a wild card. It depends on where we are in the pandemic. I think our fans will support the facility. I do not know how many fans have been impacted by this virus. My oldest brother spent eight days in the hospital in Oklahoma. His cancer doctor told him when this virus hit that if he caught it, he had probably a 90% chance of dying based on the damage to his lungs from the cancer. Thank G od he made it through. He is home still recovering. To answer your previous question, I would say we have a 50-50 shot at opening in March. Daloisio: On to sprint cars for a moment. Y ou are introducing a new class in 2021. hat is it and when can people see the rules? K azarian: ith the help of Cory Kruseman, it has been almost a year and a half of development. It is a crate engine that is carbureted and runs on methanol. e were

working with one engine manufacturer, and the third time we were testing the car, we had an engine failure. o, ory and put our heads together. e have not ﬁnalized all of the details yet, but Cory will end up being the dealership that will supply all of the engines. Y ou look at the success of the 02 print ar rate otor that has been running now for three years. It has mainly been running on the East Coast and a little bit in the Midwest. It has a tremendous record on it. They have not had any engine failures. They have three ways you can purchase the engine. Y ou can buy the short block and bolt everything else on. Or you can take the medium level and basically put your own carburetor on it and a couple of other items. Or you buy it straight complete from the carburetor down to the headers. But, about the most you are going to spend is $8,600. This engine will probably last you two to three years before you have to do some minor maintenance. It is going to appeal to younger kids to get into it ( sprint car racing . e will have an age limit of 14 -years-old to get into this class. Jimmy Naylor is going to run the class at Ventura as well. Originally, we were in talks to have Barona run the class, and we were going to have three tracks and one overall points champion at the end of the year. Those talks with arona have bro en down a little bit, but they will heat up again within the next couple of weeks. I would expe ct to have rules out hopefully by the end of this month ctober . Daloisio: To end a rumor that has been oating around, this class

is not going to replace 410 print Car racing, correct? K azarian: Absolutely not. No. This is a series that will be designed to hopefully get driver development and younger kids involved. And hopefully some of those owners will step up to the level. y plan is to basically develop new car owners to keep the series thriving and hopefully get back to the levels where we saw 40 or 45 CRA cars a night. Daloisio: And, just to ex pand on the last question. A press release came out a few weeks ago regarding officials changing positions in the est oast print ars and estern idgets. here was no mention of CRA in the release, and people started jumping to conclusions and questioned the future of that series. ill still be the main sprint car sanctioning body at the K azarian: Y es. I talked to Chris earns the day after that release came out. He was actually the one that requested my schedule as he has done the scheduling on the est oast the last five or seven years. He asks for my dates first and then goes to all the other promoters to fill in the other dates. He has done a great job to minimize nights that we have midgets running somewhere and or the 0s est oast eries running somewhere else. Bottom line, CRA is not going anywhere, period.

Small business needs our help Assemblymember Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

California’s small businesses employ over 7 million people and make up 95% of all businesses in this region. Most employ less than 100 workers, and businesses with four employees or less comprise 65% of the total, such as a neighborhood grocery or restaurant. The problems I encountered running my small retail business are what ﬁrst led me to run for public oﬃce. Before the pandemic, business in California was booming. Now small businesses are suffering.

Daloisio: Y ou said you had a lot of things planned for the 25th season. e only got one event in. o, will 2021 be the 25th anniversary season? K azarian: Y es. Even though it will be our 26th season there, it will be our 25th anniversary season. e cannot consider this as a season at all. e had some fan appreciation nights ready to go. e had purses that were going to be ex tremely large in all our divisions. e are going to roll all of that over to 2021. Daloisio: G o back to the very first time you heard of COV-19. id you thin it could affect the track? K azarian: first heard about it about mid-February that they had this issue in China. At that point, did not thin it would affect us. The more I read about it on the internet, read about it anywhere else or heard about the news reports on TV, I started to become concerned that it could affect us. told you in the press bo at our first event March 7 that I thought we were going to get shut down the nex t week. Y ou thought I was crazy. Now here it is in the third week of October, and we are expe riencing a third peak. I never envisioned we would be closed the entire year. Daloisio: Thinking we were only going to be down for a month at most, you went ahead and made some modifications around the facility to protect fans health. hat are some of them? K azarian: e purchased all automatic ush valves for all of the restrooms. e purchased touchless faucets for all the sinks in the facility. e designed social distancing for the entire facility which was going to require us to paint X s all over the grandstands, concession areas and restrooms. Daloisio: e are still open for practice and will be all winter, correct? K azarian: Oh yeah, we are still open for practice. There have only been two or three weekends when we have not had at least one round. hen we first started having practices again, it was not uncommon to have five rentals over aturday and unday. hey have slowed

Daloisio: How often do you hear from fans asking what is going on? K azarian: e have not spent a lot of time in the office as there is really not a whole lot to do. The facility is being maintained. Charlie ( marketing manager Charlie atson probably gets more phone calls than anyone else from the fans. They are wondering how we are doing and are we going to get through this mess. e did get help from the first stimulus act. hat was the ct. o, we have been able to keep the facility up and running and keep our bills to a minimum. Daloisio: Does insurance help cover any of that? K azarian: No. I actually called our insurance company before we got shut down, and I said, “Hey, if we get shut down, do I have coverage? ” And, she goes, “No, you did not buy pandemic insurance.” I also asked if there was pandemic insurance, and she said, “Y eah, there used to be, but not anymore.” That market was actually shut down on, I think, March 6. Daloisio: Two weeks from now the 25th Oval Nationals should be taking place. That is like your pride and joy as you have developed it into the best non-wing sprint car race in the nation. How much does it hurt you personally to have that taken away this year? K azarian: It is a huge personal

The things we won’t easily recover from But what it did was reinvigorate my fervor over the steady stream of misinformation and false truths being fed by the spoonful to the American public over the past five years. However, some would argue that the assault on truth and accuracy in reporting began much sooner than that, specifically with the launch of cable television news, specifically ews in 1996 and to a lesser ex tent, CNN. Founded by Australian media mogul Rupert Murdoch and supercharged by CEO Roger Ailes, FOX News, I believe intentionally blurred the lines between what was reporting and what was punditry. CNN, in my opinion, has since adopted a similar approach to presenting top political punditry as news, just with the opposite slant, for the record. I am not a fan. But what really led to the ex plosion in biased reporting was the onset of FOX News and how it changed the landscape of news, how we report it and how the public ingests it. The popularity of social media has led to an in u of politically biased “news” organizations such as he aily ignal, reitbart News Network, The Epoch Times

Jeff Pack STAFF WRITER

alifornia tate en. elissa elende ednesday, ct. 28, tweeted to her followers a question hat news source personality do you trust to give you the facts? ” Now, I should have known better than to dive headlong into the response, but I did anyway. Boy, was that a mistake. It was sad, very sad. Dozens and dozens of her followers declared there were either no good sources for accurate reporting or choosing to cite organizations.

and others. Take a look at http://mediabiasfactcheck.com for more information on where news organizations lean politically. And yes, I am aware that there are those that assume that anylittle-thing that is reported that challenges their preconceived narratives will be automatically assumed to be biased, and Media Bias/Fact Check has its detractors. Biased online content is tough to decipher for many readers, and this content is easily shareable and passed along as fact through the association the reader has with the person sharing the information. Video clips became entire narratives, quotes taken out of contex t, unverified reports and anonymous sources, etc. At the center of this unmitigated ood of biased ournalism is News and Ailes, who resigned from FOX News in July 2016 after allegations of sex ual assault were made by 23 women, and he went on to serve as an adviser to Donald Trump. hat s critically important to understand is that over the past four years, FOX News in particular has become a mouthpiece for the leader of the Republican Party and the president himself.

In a piece by Vox , titled “How FOX News evolved into a propaganda operation,” media scholar and ex ecutive director at the American Press Institute, Tom Rosenstiel, pointed out that FOX News has become a propaganda tool for the president. “Partisan journalists are interested in getting people to consider ideas,” Rosenstiel said. “Propagandists are interested in moving the public to a particular position to achieve a particular outcome. “If my goal is to shift public support to a position so that the president has more popular support to do something, that’s propaganda. If my goal is simply to get people to accept what I think are good ideas, I’m a partisan journalist. I may be a sloppy journalist, but I’m still engaged in civic discourse as opposed to civic persuasion,” he said. nd no, hris allace occasionally asking a tough question here or there doesn’t do enough to sway FOX toward centrist journalism. Not even close. hat s truly frightening is when respondents to en. elendez’ question uttered names li e ean annity and uc er Carlson guys who are not listed

as journalists or reporters, but instead as “hosts.” Another cited One American News Network, a platform Media Bias/Fact Check, which is described as “ex treme right” and as a “questionable source, ex hibits one or more of the following: ex treme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, a complete lack of transparency and/or is fake news. Fake news is the deliberate attempt to publish hoax es and/or disinformation for the purpose of proﬁt or in uence. And this is who our fellow residents turn to for “news? ” As a journalist, someone who in this election cycle has reported on Black Lives Matter protests and the Murrieta Freedom Rally, all with an unbiased voice, it’s truly disheartening. hile am always open to varying opinions and viewpoints, I am not open to presenting those opinions as “news.” omehow, we re going to have to ﬁnd a way to brea through and recover, or we will suffer these fools among us for decades to come.

Newborn children in the hospital have a matching band with their parents. It shows that they belong to each other. G od has engraved your name on his hand, showing that you belong to him. saiah 49 1 said, ee, I have written your name on the palms of my hands.” The way to get your name on G od’s hand is by believing in and following his son Jesus Christ. The question you have to ask yourself is, “Is my name written on G od’s hand? ” G od hold s your hand when you’ re weak. There are not many things that a parent does more than hold their child’s hand. It offers comfort, help and is an intimate connection. It’s the way the stronger helps the weaker.

The wonderful thing about G od is that he does precisely that for us. He holds our hand and leads us when we are weak and stumbling. G od said in Isaiah 41: 13, “I am the Lord your G od who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” The question you have to ask yourself is, “Have I let go of G od’s hand? ” G od hold s you up with his righteous hand . The one thing a child always wants from a parent is goodness shown to them in love. Children crave it. In fact, we all crave it from our heavenly father. The good news is that he does just that for us. Isaiah 41: 10 told us, “Do not fear for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your G od. I will strengthen you and

help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” hen od said he will hold you up with His righteous right hand, he meant his exc ellent hand. Not that one is weaker than the other, but that his hand is good. It never does evil. It never misleads. It never betrays. It never grows tired. It’s always victorious and is the hand of complete blessing. The question you have to ask yourself is, “Am I trying to hold myself up, or am I letting G od, who never grows weary or tired, hold me? ” Z achar y E lliott is the lead pas tor of F usion C hr istian C hur ch in T em ecula.

way back to faith, but I couldn’t get rid of the shame I felt. And in that moment, I saw that my attitude was like that of the older brother. As though, when I was faithful, I had been earning my father’s love, and now that I had fallen, as though I had forfeit it. But then there is the father. The story of the son’s return continued. hile he was still a long way oﬀ, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him. He ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him,” in Luke 15. Right as the father is hugging his son. The son, in his shame, is communicating his rehearsed speech: “I’ve sinned against heaven and you. I’m not worthy to be your son, but maybe you would be willing to hire me? ” The father who had seen him from a far distance, run to him, held and kissed him, speaks. He said to

his employees, “Q uick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his ﬁnger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead, but he is alive again; he was lost, but he is found.” i e this son, had enough conﬁdence to think that the father would receive me back, though perhaps somewhat reluctantly. hat did not ex pect was to be received back so fully, to be embraced with a sense of G od’s pleasure in me and to immediately know the intimacy of love that I had once known. The older brother, who was reluctant to join any celebration for his wayward brother, is angry at his father, and said, “I’ve been slaving for you for years, and you’ve never even given me a goat to have a feast with my friends.” It’s an interesting choice of words for a son to say that he’s been like a slave to his father. But

the father responded, “My son, you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.” Both of the sons from their own perspective are considering their worth, what good or bad things they have done and how hard they have, or might, work for their father. They seem to be focused on something they think must be earned. But the father loves them. The prodigal son was loved; the older brother was loved. The father loved them; that’s the point. The father loved them; the father loves me. He loved me while I was the older brother, and he loved me while was the son oﬀ living with the pigs. He loves me while the stench is still on me, and he loves me as I am being restored. The father loves. That’s the whole point.

How God holds your hand

Zachary Elliott SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

After 10 years of trying to have a baby, our cousins gave birth to their ﬁrst child. boy. he mother ust got to hold him for the ﬁrst time since his birth. They had to wait a few days since he was born at only 25 weeks and weighed a

whopping 1 pound, 13 ounces. If you didn’t know, that’s incredibly tiny. He basically could ﬁt in the palm of your hand. ut that didn t stop the mother. he held him close to feel his skin on her chest so he could listen to her heart. The picture of her holding her son is miraculous and heartwarming, to say the least. It speaks a million words of the love a mother has for her child, even one so tiny. As much as new parents love their children and want to hold them close, it’s nothing compared to how much G od loves his children, the born and the unborn. And yes, that includes you. Here are three ways G od holds your hand. G od hold s your name in his hand .

I see me in the story Lisa Winkleblech SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The story of the prodigal son is one of the better-known biblical stories, and I think for good reason. The story opens with a father with two sons. The older son is hard-working, faithful to his father and a model son, though he has a dark side. The second son is a little different. e comes on the scene doing something rather crass and bold. He said, in so many words, “Father, I don’t want to have to wait till you’re dead. I want my inheritance now.” He takes it, leaves his family and goes off to waste his inheritance on what the author describes as “wild living,” which included, among other things, hiring out prostitutes. Eventually, the money is spent, his friends abandon him and he is starving. e finds a ob feeding pigs, but he is still so hungry that he wishes he could fill his stomach

with the pig slop. In due time, he “comes to his senses.” He thought to himself, “I know my father won’t receive me as a son, but perhaps he will hire me on and then at least I’ll have enough food to eat.” In the story in Luke 15, the father is the ﬁrst to see his son as he is returning. It’s a good thing too. If the older brother was the one to greet him, it would have gone diﬀerently. He may have said something like, hile m here slaving for our father, you are out shaming him and wasting our family fortune, and now you have the audacity to show up here smelling like pigs? ” This story has become very personal to me. I see myself all over it. After years or actually decades of being what I considered a devoted Christian, I was tempted with sin and drawn away. Metaphorically, I wasted my inheritance and ended up “with the pigs,” and I lost my faith. This past year, I found my

The new paint job for the Little Red Schoolhouse in Minor Park in Anza was completed thanks to volunteers, donors, local businesses and churches. Helpers from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Anza, residents and Forest Service firefighters finished painting the trim, led by Philip Canaday, vice president of the Anza Civic Improvement League, and Charles Cadwell, president of ACIL, as they applied the last coats of bright white paint to the over 100-yearold building. Pizza Factory donated three pizzas to feed the workers. “I love, love, love the new look. Anza is getting a face-lift,” resident Hope Adams said. see P AIN TIN G , page A-5

Riverside University Health System – Medical Center purchases latest breast cancer imaging machine RIVERSIDE – Riverside University Health System purchased the latest Molecular Breast Imaging machine, making it the only hospital in California to own the advanced breast cancer detection technology. Stater Bros. Charities and nland omen ighting ancer donated $300,000 to Riverside University Health System, helping to put funds toward the machine and other breast cancer treatment technology. The dual-head Molecular Breast Imaging gamma camera picks up cancer with two opposing cameras as opposed to current single-cameras and decreasing the distance of the lesion to the camera, allowing the radiologist to better detect and localize a lesion. It also allows the detection of smaller lesions. ith the MBI machine, a small dose of radiation is used to detect cancer’s location. The MBI machine produces images that will coincide with mammogram images. Nearly

50% of women in the United States have high amounts of glandular tissue and fibrous connective tissue, also known as dense breasts, according to the National Cancer Institute. Dense breasts make it harder to read mammograms because at times it can hide cancer. omen with dense breasts or other special circumstances can benefit from the use of an MBI. Dr. Lisa Mahoney, RUHS radiologist, said she was exc ited to provide more options to a population of women in need of diverse detection equipment. “Molecular Breast Imaging is a new comfortable, cost-effective and efficient tool in breast imaging that can increase breast cancer detection when used in combination with mammography,” Mahoney said. atients that benefit from MBI not only include women with dense breast tissue, but also with breast implants, inconclusive mammograms, breast cancer sur-

vivors, patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer and patients who cannot undergo breast MRI imaging.” In addition to the MBI machine, the funds were also used to purchase a Sentimag Magnetic Locali ation ystem. ith this system, Magseed markers are small magnetic seeds placed into a person’s breasts to help a surgeon ﬁnd the tumor at the time of surgery. ith these seeds, women can get them placed, go home and return at a later date for breast cancer ex traction. It allows a more comfortable and innovative care model compared to the standard model, according to the medical center. Dr. Sharon Lum, RUHS breast cancer surgeon, said she is grateful for the state-of-the-art technology that will help provide options and more convenience for her patients. “Magseed technology is transformative for both the patient and the surgeon,” Lum said. “Schedul-

ing surgery is much easier and efﬁcient and delays in the operating room can be eliminated.” For the past three years, Stater ros. harities and nland omen Fighting Cancer donated $100,000 annually to contribute to the breast cancer care at RUHS. e re proud to partner with organizations like Riverside University Health System who are making great strides in cancer care,” Nancy Negrette, chair and president Stater Bros. Charities, said. “Now more than ever, the health and well-being of cancer patients is a top priority. Thanks to the fundraising eﬀorts of the elieve al community, we re grateful to invest in this new technology to make procedures more comfortable and convenient for breast cancer patients.” For more information, visit http://ruhealth.org to learn more.

AEC explains recent power disruptions Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

Electric power disruptions have become more commonplace in recent months, causing some residents concern about the resiliency of the local system. “As you are all aware, the last few months has seen a fairly high incidence of disturbances on our electric distribution system,” Kevin Short, general manager of Anza Electric Cooperative, said. e have e perienced a higher than average number of outages, from various causes.” The cooperative is a single radial-fed system, meaning that it exi sts with only one point of connection to the larger transmission and distribution grid. hile this type of design was the least costly when it was ﬁrst built in 19 1, it is also the least reliable due to its lack of redundancy. It means that AEC members are subject to more frequent outages across the system. “The AEC has been working to develop additional import and local generation resources for many years; unfortunately, there is no simple or inex pensive solution. Meanwhile, most of the outages we e perience occur oﬀ our system on the import line we depend on,” Short said. Additionally, the western United States has recently ex perienced a huge increase in the number,

fre uency and scope of wildfires, with California ex periencing its worst fire season on record, and it is far from over for the year. Currently, nearly a million residents in Northern California are without electric service due to high winds and e treme fire conditions. he two largest fires in olorado s history are currently burning within 10 miles of each other. Oregon has been hard hit by huge fires across their state, as has ashington. The AEC operates their distribution system with safety as their top concern, including fire safety. The system is operated to reduce the ris of fire ignition. his operating method does increase the frequency of outages. “However, it is imperative that we do everything possible to prevent the possibility of our system being the source of fires, hort said. “As a result, we expe rience more frequent outages from potential yet eliminated fire threats. AEC continues research into other import and generation options, Short said. In a few weeks, the second phase of the SunAnza solar/battery system will come online. This project will bring backup power and daytime solar generation capability to members in the event of future outages. ost residents go with the ow, having resources in times of no power, such as generators. “Living in a rural community

you expe ct power outages,” resident Tesse Benson said. “I’m glad that the co-op gives us warning when they can. I know that unexpected outages are hard on them. Our family generally uses that time to go outside and enjoy being unplugged.” he staﬀ at the is wor ing to decrease the outage incidents, Short said.

e will continue to e plore more resource opportunities and will continue our upgrade and modernization projects that are needed to improve cost-eﬀective reliability,” he said. “Thank you all for your continued support and patience with us during these trying times. As always, I am available for any questions or concerns that you may have regarding your

membership in our cooperative.” The Anza Electric Cooperative may be reached by calling 951763-4333 or online at http://www. anzaelectric.org/ or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ Anzaelectric. D iane Siek er can be reache d by em ail at dsiek er@ reederm edia. com .

Rose Care FUNdamentals for November

ichael

Frank Brines ARS MASTER CONSULTING ROSARIAN

Expe riencing a summer of high temperatures, ﬁres, smo e, ash and Santa Ana winds, Valley residents look forward to having some relief. The weather has moderated slightly, and along with the change comes cooler nights with more moisture collecting on leaves. This moisture with the daily accumulation of ash and small dust particles provides a great environment for mildew, rust and black spot on roses. Black spot is the most common and important disease of roses found everywhere roses are grown. The disease does not kill the plant outright but, over time, the loss of leaves can weaken the plant making it more susceptible to other stresses and to winter damage. t ﬁrst develops on upper leaf surfaces, later adjacent areas turn yellow and leaves drop prematurely, usually beginning at the bottom of the plant progressing upward. A potential “lookalike” disease is spot anthracnose or shot-hole disease; it is not a major problem unless temperatures are very hot – too hot for black spot. Spots caused by black spot are fuzzy around the edges, then turn

yellow and brown. Spots caused by anthracnose are smooth edged and the centers turn gray and drop out. Treatment is the same – a fungicide – but it must be labeled for black spot or anthracnose, whichever disease you are treating. Fall brings warm days, cool nights, moisture and air dust particles. These conditions will ensure large colorful blossoms and possibility of powdery mildew. One of the earliest signs will be slight purple splotches on the underside of leaves and white powdery spots on top and white powder on the peduncle, or neck, of the rose blossom. A good fungicide will be needed and applied at the first sight of white appearing substance on the leaves. Fall is a good time to check the pH of the soil. It should be between 6.0 and 6.5. Any reading below or above these levels will inhibit roses ability to use the nutrients you are giving them. Treating the pH problem now will give ample time for adjustments before spring pruning. The most likely result will be a low pH due to the acidifying effect of fertili ers. oses benefit from a good rinsing to remove accumulated dust: e sure to eep moisture off the blossoms to prevent yet another

fungal disease, Botrytis, which will appear as rot of blossoms and will usually prevent them from opening. Another sign is red blotches on blooms. Last month I included an article about chilli thrips and pictures for identifying the problem they cause. Continue to investigate for these pests and treat if found. They attack new growth, buds and blooms. Left untreated plants are stressed greatly, often shriveling the end buds or preventing bud formation. The life cycle of chilli thrips includes falling to ground and becoming a grub and reappearing when temperatures warm up next year. If you completed the light midseason pruning in September or October, you pruned out dead, crossing canes and thinned the middle of the plant. It will improve air circulation through the bush and reduce possible fungal diseases. This midseason pruning and fertilizing encourages a new blooming cycle. Feel free to cut some of the early blooms now and take them inside for bouquets. Unless you plan to exhi bit, I do not recommend fertilizing after mid-October, but you may make a ﬁnal application of fertili er for the year before mid-November. If you do this, use a fertilizer

lower in Nitrogen ( N) and higher in Phosphate ( P) and Potassium ( K) ; that is, if your fertilizer has an - - number on it, the ﬁrst digit will be lower than the other two. If it lacks an N-P-K, read the ingredients and/or ask your professional nursery person for guidance. To ex plain: Nitrogen encourages foliage growth-something we want to discourage as the plants go into their winter dormancy; Phosphate helps build root structure and resistance to stressful conditions, such as cold at this time of year; Potassium is a helper of Phosphate and aids in bloom quality. If you use an organic fertilizer it will be readily available when the soil warms, adding to the nutrients needed for that spring growth spurt. A liquid fertilizer as the last application will be readily available Remember to check your garden daily for any changes. Be sure to keep them hydrated for best results. The weather forecast for the next week is around the mid-80s. The cooler temperatures can be misleading. Roses still need to be watered, perhaps not as often. Some people think Southern California lacks distinct seasons, but we do have seasons. They are only discerned by those with a more sophisticated palette. So get out of the house and enjoy the subtle delights of the air, sun and the rich aroma of our magically misty fall. hen you have a mo-

ment to spare, feel the need to get away or when the day cools down, take your favorite beverage and a picnic basket and visit Rose Haven Heritage G arden, 30592 Jedediah Smith Road, in Temecula. The cross street is Cabrillo Avenue. The early morning and late afternoon sunlight across the pass is magical this time of year – it even makes the freeway seem a little bit romantic. Oh, one last thing to do when it gets just a bit too nippy out there: Start perusing rose catalogs, both printed and online versions, for that nex t “gotta have” rose variety. The September/October America’s Rose G arden issue has a good section on some new or recent roses and Bob Martin’s annual compilation of the newest roses. Also, this time of year many nurseries and garden stores are liquidating their remaining inventory of potted roses – and you’re in luck because November is an ideal time to purchase and plant. Make your list of new roses and go shopping, if you plan to replace an old tired plant, prepare the area now for easier planting later. And assess your stock of fertilizers and be sure to order next month from the San Diego Rose Society. For more ideas, visit TVRS at http://TemeculaValleyRoseSociety.org/index.ht ml. Until next month, Happy roses to you!

Discover the history of Anza’s Little Red Schoolhouse Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

The iconic Little Red Schoolhouse, located in the heart of Anza, is more than 100 years old and still serving the residents of the rural mountain community. The original Hamilton School, which is referred to as the Little Red Schoolhouse, was built in 1914 as a one-room school. Located on the southwest corner of state Highway 371 and Contreras Road, the small wooden building is the centerpiece of Minor Park and managed by the Anza Civic Improvement League, a 501( c) ( 4) nonprofit corporation. The Hamilton School District was formed Feb. 5, 1913, and G eorge B. Evans helped contractors . . haney and ill ollins build the schoolhouse. illiam Daniels and other homesteaders from the Mitchell Road area helped. Starting May 22, 1914, the men from Baptista drove to Hemet to haul lumber for the new school. Others who helped put the building up were us ishnand, ohn Arbuckle, A.B. Baker, Joe Dashner, . . eatherill, ill ort and Antonio and John Contreras. The school was built on land donated by G eorge Turner, which was to be returned to his family when no longer used as a school. The building was constructed during the spring in 1914 and was completed in September 1914. ellie iller, the first teacher at the new Hamilton School, didn’t stay long. She resigned in November 1914 . John H. Stoner drove his wagon and some equipment to the town of Baptiste, as Anza was known. He arrived Dec. 1, 1914, put his animals in Shaney’s barn on Mitchell Road and Bautista Canyon Road and walked through the fresh snow to start teaching at 9 a.m. He taught at the one-room school until June 1918. Many teachers came and went in the years following. hen ahuilla oad became state Highway 371 in 1964 , the traffic was deemed to be too heavy and the school site was condemned by the state as dangerous. Since the school district could not find any members of the urner family, the original school and land were auctioned off in 19 4. The highest bidder was James Minor, who gave the land and the building to the Anza Civic Improvement League. The president of the ACIL at that time was one of the school’s graduates, Henry R. Lichtwald. The vice president was red udy hestine illiam H. G leck was the treasurer and eona yde, the first secretary. Many public elections, church and Sunday school classes, holiday group gatherings, potlucks and celebrations were held on the property for all residents in the Anza Valley, and they still are.

Volunteers and ACIL board members teamed to begin the repainting project at the Little Red Schoolhouse in Minor Park Saturday, Oct. 17, prepping it for a new coat of red paint. or was completed the following weekend. “A big thank you to everyone who helped,” Canaday said. Minor Park has been struggling ﬁnancially in recent months, he said. Spurred to action, Canaday took the reins, powering through issues and garnering help for Anza’s park and Little Red Schoolhouse. Anza’s Minor Park is not a public park, and it receives no funding from state or county tax dollars. The park’s exi stence depends on volunteers. The mission of the ACIL, a 01 c 4 nonproﬁt corporation, is to restore, manage and enhance the

Later the school became a library, and the bookshelves on the west side replaced the blackboard and the high louvered windows. The school was used again as a church for a few years, as a meeting place for the Anza Valley Chamber of Commerce and again as a private school called the San Jose Academy. The outhouses that were located down by the trees on both sides of the hay barn and the hitching posts, where students and parents tied up their horses, are all long gone. The Anza Electric Cooperative installed the original picnic tables and cement platform on the west side of the school. In 1991, a historical marker was placed in front of the Little Red Schoolhouse by the Billy Holcomb Chapter 1069 of the Ancient and Honorable Order of E Clampus Vitus, or Clampers. The Clampers are dedicated to the history of the ld est, especially old mining areas, and have placed more than 150 plaques at historical sites all over California, Arizona and Nevada. In November 1991, the plaque was placed at Hamilton School, which is now known as the Little Red Schoolhouse. The plaque has been moved from the original location on the grounds to up closer to the road, where it remains today. The mission of the ACIL is to restore, manage and enhance the Little Red Schoolhouse and Minor Park in partnership with the public, for the enjoyment of present and future generations, according to the league’s website. Both the park and the schoolhouse are available to rent for meetings and events. Members may credit 100% of their current membership dues toward rental fees during the same time period. The 2020 board of directors are Charles Cadwell, president; Philip Canaday, vice president; Tabitha Dawes, treasurer; G erilyn Melin, secretary, and Andrew Carey, director. articipation and ﬁnancial support of Anza’s community park makes it available for all to enjoy. Membership dues and donations assist the actions of league members who volunteer their time to maintain and improve the facilities.

Freedom and our Constitution are at stake on the 2020 ballot

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

Freedom and the Constitution are at stake on the 2020 ballot because you can’t have one without the other. e are the freest people on the planet and for the longest time because of the U.S. Constitution. No governing document has harnessed those who govern us more fully or better than this document. It is so because it is based upon natural inalienable rights coming from G od. It cannot be understood fully without viewing it as an ex tension of the Declaration of Independence in which G od was referenced ﬁve times. he document authorized our right to rebel from tyranny and, with victory, we constructed a document insuring

CAN CELLATION S from page has been averaging 20 vendors each Saturday, and everything has been running smoothly. Private party rentals are still available, but the board said that renters need to understand that county health mandates such as social distancing and the use of face coverings must be adhered to. Renters of the Hall would be responsible for any violations. Bill Donahue presented a brief update on the progress of the Dollar G eneral store project. “The county approval process for the lot split necessary so that the Dollar G eneral parcel can be sold separately is taking longer than ex pected,” he said. “The taxe s have been paid by the seller, and the mylar was delivered to the tax collector this week. The buyer is trying to verify when the tax collector will sign the map and has asked that they submit it directly to the survey department for ﬁnal review. nce in the survey department’s hands, I’ve been told they estimate approx imately four weeks to obtain all remaining department signatures and board approval. Once approved it will take the buyer about a month to

government tyranny could never return. The document gave Americans freedom from ex cessive government. Y es, it took a war and some time to make freedom apply to everyone, but we succeeded. Freedom is always on the ballot but more so now than at any other time. This column is asking Americans to consider what we have before voting to lose it. The Second Amendment said, “a well regulated militia,” – the people are the militia then and today – such “being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” No other amendment uses these last four words which mean oﬀ limits to government. No city, county, state nor the federal government can make any laws infringing on our inalienable right to protect ourself, and our collective right to resist our own government should it defy constitutional government – the same right used by our Founders to resist the British government by force when it became tyrannical. It is ironic that in our day as anarchy reigns in our biggest cities that these same cities elect to defund or disband those hired to protect us from violence, that gun sales automatically escalate. The major political parties are polar opposite on your right of selfdefense. One presidential primary candidate stating, “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your

close escrow.” Then the construction of the variety store may begin on the lot next to the Community Hall. The Dollar G eneral’s developer agreed to make major upgrades to the Hall’s well and water system, as well as removing the exi sting, undersized bathroom septic system and the temporary holding tank for the kitchen drain. They will design and install a new, properly sized, combined septic system including a grease interceptor and new leach ﬁeld. nce that is completed the Community Hall will use grant funds to complete the Americans with Disabilities Act compliant upgrades to the parking lot and entry ramps. The Community Hall, a centerpiece of Anza, has been available to rent for special occasions such as weddings, quinceañ eras, parties and more. The Anza swap meet takes place in the Hall’s parking lot. In times of emergencies, such as power outages and ﬁres, the all is a meeting place for people to obtain information and supplies. The Friends Uniting Neighbors group and Fishes and Loaves ministries use the Hall to distribute free food and meals.

AK-4 7.” Vote wisely, all other freedoms hinge on this one. There are other areas in which “Congress shall make no law.” he irst mendment speciﬁcally named: religion, speech, press, assembly and the right to petition the government for grievances. The prohibitions were ex tended to state governments also by the 14 th Amendment. But in 2020, it was in these areas that more rights of Americans were taken than in any other single year in U.S. history – those who love freedom viewed the actions of some governors as dictatorial, even tyrannical. The most violated of these were freedoms of assemble, religion and press. ith stay-at-home decrees, the right to “peaceably to assemble” vanished, unless you were rioting. “Congress shall make no law, respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exe rcise thereof,” it said. One political party supported governors arbitrarily prohibiting religious gatherings, limiting their number and enforcing other provisions for their meetings during the coronavirus pandemic – all unconstitutional. The other, maintained that everything in life is a risk and left the assessment of risk and its consequences to parishioners, honoring the Constitution which prohibited any government involvement. he very deﬁnition of liberty is freedom from exc essive

government. One party wants government intervention in potentially every aspect of human life, the other thinks that the best government is the least government. It is called freedom. Congress shall make no law abridging the “freedom of the press.” Certainly, censorship of the press by government is constitutionally forbidden but what about Congress allowing monopolies G oogle, Facebook, Y ouTube and Twitter exe mption from law suits for their horrendous censorship practices. Only the views of one party is censored, so it obviously objects. One party encourages the disclosure of information regarding candidates before a vote; the other endorses – even practices censorship. Today big tech has more power over press issues than the federal government – they are social media. Some data shows a marriage between big tech and one of the major political parties. hen that party returns to power so does big tech. Other issues divide the parties as well. One such is globalism versus American independence. Our system of government is designed to problem solve from the bottom up essentially never elevating to a higher level that which can be resolved at a lesser level.

ferent and changing names: world government, internationalism, new world order and now globalism. G lobalists see nationalism as an enemy and seek to transfer decision making power to unelected international bureaucratic organizations. Today one political party endorses globalism, the other American independence. Until 2016, both parties failed to follow the Constitution as written, distorting sections when convenient. Today the biggest divide of the political parties is over the Constitution itself: one party undermining it, distorting it at every turn, and the other now seeking to adhere more strictly “as written.” This election the Constitution and liberty are on the ballot; making it the most important in our history. e must retain what has been tried and proved. e must choose freedom over tyranny, the free market over socialism and the Constitution as written. It would be wise to consider what we have before voting to lose it. D r. H arold P ease is a sy ndicated colum nist and an ex p ert on th e U nited States C onstitution.
