A Riverside County sheriﬀ’s deputy and member of the hazardous device team monitors an explosive detection robot tethered with a ﬁber optic cable searching for a suspected explosive device during a Valley News/Tony Ault photo training exercise at the Menifee Impact Church.

If an unexploded or suspicious explosive device is found anywhere in Riverside County, one of eight highly trained sheriﬀ’s deputies, day or night, can climb into their unmarked truck parked at home nearest the location and be at the scene, hopefully in minutes. They are the members of the Riverside County hazardous device team. Each team member has his own white truck that is fully equipped with search robots, a monitoring screen, laptops, hazardous device protective suits and other gear especially designed to detect and if necessary, explode suspicious ordnance or known explosives. Working closely with the team is the U.S. Air Force Explosive Ordinance Teams, the Riverside County hazardous device team can identify thousands of diﬀerent kinds of explosive ordnance from see SHERIFF, page A-6

Riverside County: Technical glitch at state level slowed new COVID-19 case reporting Jeff Pack STAFF WRITER

Despite announcing that a technical issue was causing a lag in new cases being reported, Riverside County Public Health officials Monday, Aug. 3, reported 1,120 new cases of COVID-19 over the weekend bringing the total number of cases within the county to 38,131 since the county began recording data. Day by day, the county reported 469 new cases Saturday, 500 on Sunday and 151 on Monday. The number of new deaths reported in the county over the weekend was 42 and the total number of people that have died from the virus since the county began sits at 737. On Saturday, eight people died, 31 more on Sunday and three on Monday. In announcing the technical issues, county health officials also cautioned residents not to get the impression that lower recorded numbers of new cases meant the county was slowing down its transmission numbers. Officials said the California Reportable Disease Information Exchange is experiencing delays and electronic laboratory reporting is not being submitted to CalREDIE’s system in a real-time manner. Riverside County’s positive cases in recent days may appear that the numbers are holding steady or flattening, but that’s simply not true, Kim Saruwatari, director of Riverside County Public Health, said in a county press release. “This is an integration, technical issue,” Saruwatari said. “Simply put, there is a significant lag in how the information is being fed into the system. We’re anticipating significant increases in case reportBIRTHDAY from page A-1 about getting the drive-by to happen. Even Mayor Gene Wunderlich of Murrieta was tagged in the post, and he commented back with a “We’ll see.” Through the messages, Carlisle connected with a contact at CR&R. “They said the manager was on board, so they’re being very, very cooperative,” Carlisle said. “They’re going to be able to get some trash trucks to come up to our street, honk and the drivers will be getting out for him and saying hi to him. “They even asked me for my son’s T-shirt size so they could get him a T-shirt,” she said. Allie Price, a sustainability coordinator with CR&R, helped

ing this week.” Saruwatari and the county’s public health officer, Dr. Cameron Kaiser, reiterated that residents should stay vigilant in adhering to safety recommendations. “Practicing social distancing, washing one’s hands routinely and wearing face coverings are critical steps to protecting yourself and your friends and loved ones,” Kaiser said. “We did it before, and we can do it again.” Saruwatari said the delay impacts how public health workers can chase down cases for investigation, contact tracing and, ultimately, controlling the disease. The county’s testing positivity rate is also impacted by the delay, according to the press release. The county said hospitalization and death rates are not impacted by the technical issue as those are reported directly to the county through a different system. “We’re hopeful this technical issue will be resolved quickly so we can continue our fight to protect our county residents,” Saruwatari said. On Monday, there were 27 fewer people hospitalized with the virus since Friday, July 31, for a new total of 425 hospitalizations. The county reported 133 of those patients were in intensive care units, 20 fewer than before the weekend started, but that could be attributed to the number of deaths over the weekend. Overall, 19,699 people have recovered from the virus, 6,649 more than the Friday before, the county has tested 374,021 residents for the virus, 6,294 more over the weekend. The county reported that there were 300 confirmed cases in county jails and another 1,235 cases recorded in state prisons within the

county. Both experienced minimal case growth Locally, Temecula added 24 cases (683), Murrieta added 21 (741), Wildomar added 10 (328), Lake Elsinore added 27 (774), Canyon Lake added one (55), Menifee added 30 (877), Hemet added 39 (1,000) and San Jacinto added 20 (699). In local communities, Anza added no new cases (10), East Hemet added six (196), French Valley added four (201), Lakeland Village added nine (134), Valley Vista added four (135), and Winchester added no new cases (10). Temecula added no more deaths over the weekend and, to date, three people have died from the virus in the city. There have been 16 deaths from Murrieta, six from Wildomar, 15 from Lake Elsinore, none from Canyon Lake, 12 from Menifee, 33 from Hemet, 11 from San Jacinto, none from Anza, two from East Hemet, one from French Valley, one from Lakeland Village and none from Valle Vista or Winchester. Murrieta added two new deaths over the weekend, and San Jacinto, Lake Elsinore and Wildomar each added one new death to their totals. The number of known active virus cases countywide was 17,695 as of Monday, a drop of 2,830 from Friday, according to figures. It is the first known decline in the active count since reporting began and was credited to a spike in verified patient recoveries, which officials said numbered 19,699. The active number is derived by subtracting deaths and recoveries from the overall case total – 38,131 – according to the county executive office. The county defines a recovery as someone who has not manifested symptoms for 14 days.

initiate the plans for the drive-by. “My initial reaction was excitement because I began imagining how happy Jack would be if CR&R would be able to do a fun surprise drive-by for him,” Price said. They’re still working on ﬁguring out all of the details, Price said. “We want to provide a safe and enjoyable experience that allows the drivers to interact with Jack and his family if possible,” Price said. When Carlisle initially posted the video, she said she thought it was a long shot, but she wanted to try. “They also said they’re going to try and get multiple trucks to come, not just one,” Carlisle said. “The fact that they’re excited and

they want to help and they want to do this for him is really sweet.” Carlisle said that there’s one trash truck in particular that honks a lot as he drives by, and it is her son’s favorite. “It’s not even on our trash day. He won’t even be expecting the trash truck to come, so we’re really looking forward to that,” Carlisle said as they look forward to Sept. 1. The family has had news channels like NBC reach out to repost the video, and the feedback overall has been great, Carlisle said. “We’re just really looking forward to it now,” she said.

Local New Menifee Police Department earns positive response in first 30-days

“Me, I like the cops. I have no problem with the Menifee police department. They’re doing a great job,” Don Newton says while shopping with his son Cruz.

of Measure DD. If I could find one, I would put it in my yard,” she said. Measure DD funding is the major source of funding for the new police department and other public safety projects. Twenty-year Menifee resident Lisa La-Russo was strongly in favor of the new Menifee Police Department. She admitted earlier she was “a little skeptical; however, so far I have actually seen them more in and about then I have seen other officers (Riverside County Sheriff deputies).” “Nothing is bad about the sheriff’s department because I know they are overwhelmed by the amount of call volume in the area with not a lot of units. It’s not their fault,” La-Russo said. “So far they have been pretty responsive to everything I’ve seen. They have quick responses.” She recalled one incident when she called the Menifee police. “Actually, I had a female officer come out. She was actually very nice, very special and she followed through with a little problem I had,” she said. Resident Alisha Piatt sat with her family and friends having lunch on tables in front of Carnitas Express Mexican Restaurant at 26900 Newport Road in Menifee. “I think it’s awesome,” Piatt said. “We’ve seen them in our neighborhood, their cars.” Her friend Rachel Clark, a Quail Valley resident, said of the police department. “I think it’s great,” Clark said. “I have never seen that many police cars. I see them everywhere, everywhere I drive. I feel safer.” Walsh said the first week his officers actually investigated their first murder case. “On the third day, a squad of police officers who never worked together handled their first murder, and they did a phenomenal job. You know, they relied on their training and tactics and slowed down and communicated and really did a nice job. I’m really proud of the work they are doing,” Walsh said. He said these were unprecedented times everyone is having with the coronavirus pandemic especially for police officers, “and in particular in California, because we are shut down the second time and people are very uncomfortable.” “There is a lot of anxiety out there,” Walsh said. “You know we scheduled ourselves to kind of ramp up in the afternoon and the evening because that is when people come home, and they start drinking or arguing then things happen. Quite frankly, that’s not been the case. We are starting to have domestic disputes at 9 or 10 o’clock in the morning, because people are in the house together. Despite the increasing number of calls, Walsh said, “Morale has been super high, and we are still very, very excited to be here. “They like each other (the officers). It’s just kind of a fun atmosphere to come in and find and meet all these new employees,” he said. “We are all new, right. And so it’s just been a joy to watch them work and see a lot of compassion. They really do good police work.” In support, Walsh gave an example of some of the officers meeting with the homeless in the downtown Sun City Plaza area. One of the homeless, Walsh said, called him up to say how much he appreciated the officers who contacted him and because of that

The Menifee police department officers, who are young in organization but long in experience, are quickly gaining community acceptance after their first 30 days on patrol. The department has responded to a large number of calls, according to dispatch reports. While some calls are involved with serious crime, most are misdemeanors, homeless problems and array of thefts and suspicious circumstances. Police Chief Patrick Walsh said he is extremely pleased with all of his officers’ performances in the field in the first four weeks of their deployment, even with his force still 12 officers short, all of which are in background checks and expected to come on board by September. Walsh shared an example of one of his more experienced police officers’ contact with several local residents which shows community acceptance is growing. “One of my officers came to me and said, ‘Chief, people are friendly here… they waved to us. I’m not used to that. I went to a domestic violence call the other day and both the wife and the husband apologized profusely for calling on us… I never had anybody thank me at a call like that. This is a good town,’” Walsh said. “In our first 30 days, our community has been phenomenal. They’re incredible.” He recalled the nearly 23 years he served in the Portland Police Department. “My friends up there are very discouraged and disappointed and are leaving the police department because it is so violent, awful and so full of hate,” Walsh said. “I try not to even talk to them because it’s the opposite here. Everyday someone comes and knocks on our front door because our lobby is closed… Every day. “The other day a church came and in the parking lot prayed for us. There is a lot of praying. A lot of good thoughts. I’ve been telling the pastors, ‘We can’t eat another homemade cookie,” Walsh said smiling. He said the community has been great. “They stop and tell us – The officers out on the street saying ‘Thank you,’ or ‘We’re glad you’re here,” Walsh said. Interviews on the street by the Valley News, Thursday, July 30, asking about local acceptance of the new police department in the first 30 days brought similar positive responses from some Menifee residents. Menifee resident Jim Hughes stood in front of the Stater Bros. store at Newport and Menifee roads. “I think it’s a good idea,” Hughes said. He said he met one of the officers with another person and found him “very professional and glad we have our own police force.” Resident Don Newton was shopping with his son Cruz. “Me, I like the cops,” Newton said. “I have no problem with the police department. They’re doing a great job.” Joyce Shilling, another Menifee resident, said of the new police department, “I like it.” She added she was in favor of keeping the Measure DD one-cent sales tax that will be on the Nov. 3 ballot in a repeal effort. “My neighbor has a sign in favor

Lake Elsinore city council approves sending transaction and use tax to voters in November Samantha Cox INTERN

The Lake Elsinore City Council approved a resolution with a 4-0 vote, with councilmember Steve Manos absent, to place the one cent transaction and use tax proposal before voters in the November election Tuesday, July 28. City manager Grant Yates, who brought the resolution to the council, emphasized the need for Lake Elsinore residents to have control to allow for “accountability and transparency.” Yates said that ﬁnancial stability of residents is the

priority of the city council and this resolution comes with the intent of moving forward as a community. “We are the 12th fastest growing city in the nation, but we still have a long way to go,” Yates said. Yates referred to the 2040 Dream Extreme plan discussed earlier in the meeting to emphasize the need to meet increasing costs and rising demands by residents. Currently, Lake Elsinore has two main sources of income. The ﬁrst is sales tax, which is set at 7.75%, and the city gets 1%. The second is property tax, which ranges from 4.5-11% depending on

the region of the city. The balance of property tax goes to the state, county and school districts. Yates explained that this position puts the city at a serious disadvantage, because the city does not receive all the tax funds. State and county shifts include: the state shifting revenues and divesting of services; the pushdown of state services, such as housing demands and prisoner releases, and the economy as a subject to global and national politics, such as the ongoing pandemic. Matt Liesemeyer, mayor pro tem of Menifee, spoke during the

public comment time. “I want to oﬀer my congrats and support to each of you doing what most of you would say as doing the right thing,” Liesemeyer said. “Based on collective leadership, have faith that your proposal will be transparent.” Temecula, Murrieta, Wildomar, Menifee and Hemet have adopted the transaction and use tax and will send the resolution to voters in November. If it is approved by Lake Elsinore voters, the city will form a citizen oversight committee that consists of ﬁve members to

independently oversee the spending and use of funds generated by the transactions and use tax twice a year. In addition, the city will take community surveys every two years to gather feedback to ensure transparency and accountability for the community. If passed in November, the transaction and use tax would generate $10 million per year to be spent on local needs controlled by the oversight committee.

Your Response Matters!

Here’s a quick refresher of what it is and why it’s essen�al that everyone is counted. DETERMINES COMMUNITY FUNDING.

IT’S ABOUT FAIR REPRESENTATION.

TAKING PART IS YOUR CIVIC DUTY.

IT’S IN THE CONSTITUTION.

The census counts every person in the United States. This will determin our community’s fair share of more than $675 billion per year in federal funding spent on schools, roads, public works, and other vital programs.

Comple�ng the census is mandatory: it’s a way to par�cipate in our democracy and say “I COUNT!”

Every 10 years, the results of the census are used to reappor�on the House of Representa�ves, determining how many seats each state gets.

The U.S. Cons�tu�on mandates that everyone in the country be counted every 10 years. The ﬁrst census was in 1790.

authorities because I was overwhelmed. My heart was broken. And I realized at this point I have somewhat of a platform. I am the owner of London Light Photography. I photograph a lot of artists, and I decided I’m going to use my platform to speak about this. Four weeks later, we have over 5,000 people who are now reporting on child trafficking and child pornography accounts that are located on social media platforms.” Takeshta said she hopes more pressure will be put on social media platforms to regulate the perceived proliferation of child and human sex trafficking accounts that can be found on social media, she said. “The law needs to be reformed,” she said. “The citizens need to unite, and we need to stand together. This is unacceptable. The images that I have seen, I will never forget for the rest of my life. I walk around every single day with a broken heart. “We want everyone to know that this law is absolute trash and it needs to be changed. It’s the law that deals with social media platforms. It basically gives them thoughts of laws. It gives them a blanket to basically turn a blind eye on what’s being pushed on their platform. And it’s horrendous,” Takeshta said. Also in attendance were members and representatives from anti-child trafficking groups, Rise Up for Children, Operation Underground Railroad and Children’s Riot, along with community members who came out to support the cause. At the event, there was a photobooth and tents with T-shirts for sale and information from the groups. “I feel like it is, is wrong for one and that it hasn’t been brought to awareness, really, until I feel like

the last couple months,” Jasmine Harper of Menifee said. “Do people know the extent of how many kids are being trafficked? Social media needs to do a better job at censoring their images and what they allow on social media and exploitation needs to end.” Her friend Cassidy Wheeler of Murrieta agreed. “I feel like there’s not much awareness to this, and we are so focused on so many other issues in the world and what’s going on and there is no awareness brought to these children’s lives,” Wheeler said. “This needs to be a priority.” Sophia Martinez Smith is a social worker for Riverside County. “This is what I do for a 9 to 5, Monday through Friday,” she said. “So, it’s nothing different for me, but we have to raise awareness to help our children to help adults, in general, to fight against human trafficking.” “Her profession really opened my eyes,” TJ Embler said, referring to Smith. “Somebody that’s not necessarily exposed to it on a daily basis, it’s a bit shocking to see the events of the world that go around that many of us have no idea that is happening. So trying to spread the word for folks like myself that have no idea about terrible things that are going on with children’s trafficking.” Debra from Temecula said the issue isn’t getting enough attention. “I’m here to build awareness for sex trafficking and missing children,” she said. “Our media doesn’t talk about it, and there are children that go missing every day and they refuse to talk about it. It’s been going on for years. I’m just here to help build awareness because I think a lot of people just aren’t really aware that this is a big problem.” Jeff Pack can be reached by email at jpack@reedermedia.com.

Local Hemet Council delays workshop on the comprehensive annual financial report Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

A scheduled work study session on the city’s annual financial report and the regular Hemet City Council meeting Tuesday, July 28, were shortened with the surprise resignation of councilmember and former Mayor Bonnie Wright for health reasons. The work study session, which was postponed by the remaining four-member council, was originally set for 5 p.m. to review a comprehensive financial report. The 223-page document was prepared by staff and approved by city manager Christopher Lopez. The agenda for the regular 7 p.m. was changed adding an urgency item to announce Wright’s resigna-

tion and to decide what the council will do to replace her within the next 60-90 days. Wright’s resignation, according to the city attorney, was eﬀective immediately. The council was told there would not be enough time for the city to place the issue on the Nov. 3 general election ballot, requiring the council to appoint a replacement for her district within the next 60 days. Several residents forwarded public comments, which were read aloud, including one resident who complained about motorists speeding daily on Stetson Avenue and Kirby Street. Resident Pat Gregory appeared again before the council, questioning the council’s approval of using Measure U funds to help ﬁnance

Lake Elsinore adopts Dream Extreme plan Samantha Cox INTERN

Lake Elsinore City Council approved the 2040 Dream Extreme plan with a 4-0 vote during its Tuesday, July 28, meeting. The 2040 Dream Extreme plan is Lake Elsinore’s long-term plan to assist the city in pursuing its vision for the future. By looking at achievements of nearby cities, Lake Elsinore hopes to create a tangible change held together by three aspects to bring awareness to the city, Nicole Dailey, assistant to the city manager, said. According to city staﬀ’s plan, the city will be guided by anchors including the lake downtown and residents’ active lifestyles. The staff wrote a vision statement which said the Dream Extreme plan is to recognize Lake Elsinore as a destination where people can live, work, play and achieve goals. The plan contained strategies for the city’s progress, including appointing a lake manager, holding

and replace a $1 million fire engine and other alleged inconsistencies in the fiscal year 2020 to 2021 budget. In other action, the council approved the appointment of commissions to the new five-member Infrastructure Commission. At the June 25 meeting, the council approved the new commission and dissolved the Traffic and Parking Commission and the Parks Commission. The Infrastructure Commission is intended to periodically review and provide comments regarding public facilities and works of improvement that are planned by the city, including without limitation, city parks, open space and other recreational or community facilities, city capital improvement projects, city buildings, facilities, the city’s street

system and city trees. Appointed to the commission are Judith McPherson in Seat 1, whose term expires Aug. 1, 2022; Robin Lowe in Seat 2, whose term expires Aug. 1, 2022; Dana Hill in Seat 3, whose term expires Aug. 1, 2022; Robert Chaparro in Seat 4, whose term expires Aug. 1, 2021, and Carole Kendrick in Seat 5, whose term expires Aug. 1, 2021.

quarterly check-ins and obtaining additional grant funding. “This plan is about capturing who we are today but also looking into the future at who we want to be in the next 20 years,” Dailey said. The plan includes a living document that will change regularly according to the needs of the city. “The pandemic has stopped us from visioning,” councilmember Natasha Johnson said. The plan to improve the city has been in the works for years. In February 2013, the city council held a planning session and established their vision and key initiatives. A few years later in 2016, the city council hosted their first community satisfaction survey. The Dream Extreme plan is a living document that will regularly be changed to meet the needs of Lake Elsinore residents. Samantha Cox can be reached by email at valleystaﬀ@reedermedia.com.

Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

In a surprise move, Hemet city councilmember Bonnie Wright tendered her resignation during the Hemet City Council meeting Tuesday, July 28. Wright, who represents constituents in the 4th District of the city, has served on council since 2012. She did not give a reason for tendering her written resignation. Since Wright’s resignation comes just three months shy of the Nov. 3 general election, not leaving enough time for the seat to be placed on the ballot, the city will have to appoint a registered voter from within the 4th District to take her place within 60 days. Wright, who moved to Hemet in 1983 with her husband and two sons, was ﬁrst elected to council in 2012 and was reelected to her

seat in 2016 while she was serving as mayor for the city. She was reelected to her seat in the 4th District by voters in 2018. In addition to running her own full-service optical business in Hemet for 20 years, Wright worked for a member of Congress and was employed as a grant and loan manger for a public utility, according to her biography on the city website. Wright held key positions on several nonprofit boards that included chairman of the Hemet San Jacinto Valley Chamber of Commerce, president of the Hemet Kiwanis, Valley Economic Development Corp and several other local service organizations. Her past recognitions include, Hemet San Jacinto Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year and Kiwanis International Distinguished Presidents Award.

Temecula approves 12% rate increase for commercial waste and recycling customers Will Fritz ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The Temecula City Council approved a 12% increase to commercial solid waste and recycling rates at its Tuesday, July 28, meeting. The city has a franchise agreement with CR&R Incorporated for refuse collection and recycling services. Per the terms of the agreement, rates for customers may be adjusted on an annual basis each July 1, according to a city staﬀ report. Commercial rates were due to adjust for the 2020-2021 fiscal year, including a 1.8% increase due to consumer price index changes as well as a $0.76 per month increase in landfill fees. However, CR&R also requested an additional increase of 9.98% of current commercial recycling rates, which it attributed to two factors: compliance with statemandated recycling programs as well as what’s known as the “China Sword” ban on recycling imports, Pat Thomas, director of

public works, told the Temecula City Council. The state-imposed programs referenced by CR&R are mandatory commercial recycling and commercial organics recycling requirements related to two laws, Assembly Bill 341 and Assembly Bill 1826, which were passed in 2012 and 2014, respectively. The laws affect businesses, as well as public entities or multifamily residential dwellings of five units or more, that generate 4 cubic yards or more of solid waste. “China Sword” refers to China’s ban in 2018 on imports of most plastics and other recyclable materials. In recent decades, China has handled nearly half of the world’s recycling, and the import ban has caused difficulties for recycling programs around the world. “Without that market being there, it reduces the revenue that CR&R can generate on the sale of recyclable materials,” Thomas explained to the council. The total rate adjustment CR&R as team members learned more about their special bomb detection equipment and practicing their use. Sgt.

Local Social media influencers promote life in the valley

Mariah Leeanne, resident of Lake Elsinore, presents a YouTube tutorial on ponytails. Valley News/Courtesy photos

Jeremiah Tatola WRITER

Southern California is a hot spot for modern professions within the tech and entertainment industries. One of the most sought-after jobs in both industries is known by many names: “Social media inﬂuencer,” “Digital creator” and “Online personality.” All those titles describe Miceylene Delgado of Wildomar and Mariah Leeanne of Lake Elsinore. Mariah Leeanne has put her life and perspective in front of the camera on YouTube since 2013. Women between the ages of 25 and 34 make up a majority of her 41,000 subscribers who come for her beauty and motherhood videos. “I started doing hair tutorials and makeup videos,” Leeanne said. “It changed when I got pregnant with Jayden.”

Her daughter Jayden is now 3 years old and is a fan favorite on her mother’s channel. The YouTube personality’s most popular upload, with almost 700,000 views, is her 2018 “TODDLER FOOD IDEAS” video, where Jayden taste tests diﬀerent homemade recipes for her mother. Though Leeanne said the motherhood content has been a pleasant change, it hasn’t completely taken over her YouTube channel content. Her second most popular video with almost half a million views is entitled “INSTAGRAM CURLY HAIRSTYLES,” which teaches viewers how to style natural spiral curls. “Forty percent of my subscribers are women of color with curly hair (watching) for my hair videos,” she said. Leeanne said despite her success, she has faced some adversity

navigating life as a single mother. “There were times I felt like I’d never find anybody. I feel like that was the challenging part. I could have been alone, raising a child,” she said. With the help of her family and her boyfriend, however, Leeanne said she is optimistic about her future as a mother and a content creator. “I’m taking it day by day, but I’m working on my brand.” Leeanne said. While working to producing more consistent content on YouTube, she said she also hopes to immerse herself in her blog where she’ll post recipes, product recommendations and personal perspectives. Leeanne can be found on YouTube, Instagram @_mariahleeanne and htttp://mariahleeanneblog.com. Another social media influencer Mickylene Delgado got her start on Instagram @mickeyline_. “It was just for fun and to share my creativity on a platform.” Delgado said. Her colorful hair and stylish outfits caught the attention of over 65,000 followers. Delgado’s following has grown gradually, and she once worked with several fast fashion brands. “I did some big projects with some companies that helped me, but it eventually slowed down once I changed my perspective about fast fashion,” she said. Brands often sent Delgado free clothes to show off to her audience,

she said. Over time, however, she decided to look into the brands she was working with. “I wanted to find out if what I’m doing is even sustainable.” Delgado said. “I’m just collecting all these clothes, and it seemed like a waste.” Delgado said she discovered that some of the brands she worked with didn’t align with her personal ethics, she decided to make a change about the brands she was willing to represent. “Making less of a carbon footprint would be ideal. I like brands that are fair trade or use materials that are organic cotton, hemp or recycled,” she said. Delgado said she has since found many different ways to attain sustainable items aside from brand collaborations. Thrift stores and online shops such as Depop and Poshmark are where she finds a majority of her clothing, she said. “You’re getting an item that is really unique. It’s vintage; it’s special to you and it’s good for the environment,” Delgado said. She said she believes that when it comes to the clothes someone wears, finding a piece that is comfortable to wear is what’s most important. “If the person enjoys what they wear, it makes them fashionable,” Delgado said. “I wear things that make me happy.” Although changing her own brand to make these environmentally conscious assertions across her social media platforms, Del-

gado said she doesn’t see herself as an influencer. “I wouldn’t say that I am (an influencer). I’m still learning and noticing these mistakes that I could be doing. It’s a journey for me,” she said. She hoped that in the future her platform would inspire people to consider the brands they’re using, wearing and promoting and work to to create a greener, more sustainable market.

Local Soboba Tribal Environmental Department offers community cleanup day Mike Hiles SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

For more than 10 years, the Soboba Tribal Environmental Department has offered Soboba Indian Reservation residents an opportunity to dispose of unusable bulky items during an annual Community Cleanup Day. This year’s event produced the best results so far as families have used the state’s sheltering-in-place guidelines as an opportunity to clean out garages, sheds and yards. Steven Estrada, environmental manager for the Soboba Tribal Environmental Department, has overseen the project each year and said an important aspect of the annual event is to reduce the solid and bulk waste on the reservation. He said they’ve seen a decline in open dumping since the cleanups have been initiated. “It provides residents with the opportunity to do some spring cleaning and get rid of items that they can’t normally place in regular trash bins,” Estrada said. He said this year’s cleanup eﬀort didn’t attract as many youth participants as in the past because some of the summer youth programs that included community service were canceled amid the pandemic. Everyone who did help, however, including TANF staﬀ members and youth volunteers, wore masks and gloves during the four-hour collection period, July 16. “We had a lot of involvement from tribal residents like we do every year, but this year there were multiple trips by individual households,” Estrada said. “The drop-offs were continuous and some even came in shortly after our 2 p.m. ending time.” Dondi Silvas said her family made three trips to discard all their unwanted items. “This program gave me an opportunity to get rid of big items that were cluttering my house,” she said. “I got rid of an old broken-down bedroom set I was waiting to throw out (queen-size mattress, box spring, two dressers and a nightstand) and other miscellaneous items.”

Her son, professional basketball player Joseph Burton, was home to help and she said they kept finding more things to get rid of, so it was a very productive day. While she is on furlough as a human resources representative at Soboba Tribal Administration, Silvas said she’s using the time and the fact her son is at home to dispose of a lot of unwanted items. “I’m grateful to the tribe for offering this to us,” she said. During the event, Estrada and his crew were able to fill four 40yard trash bins and collect about 10 cans of paint and oil, which were disposed of separately. He said environmental specialist Jennifer Salazar did a great job coordinating things between residents and the Public Works Department that assisted in transporting items to the site from the homes of tribal elders who requested help. The Soboba Tribal Environmental Department is preparing to start its new grant cycle in October and is currently working on an air emissions inventory for the reservation. Its annual Earth Day event had to be canceled due to the pandemic, which really impacted the department’s education objective. Estrada said the April event has always drawn the most tribal member participation. The department regularly offers community outreach and education efforts through public events. Staff also conduct surface water quality testing on streams running through the reservation, collect and manage geographical data and create programs to address environmental concerns. Per its mission statement, “the Soboba Tribal Environmental Department is committed to protecting, restoring and enhancing natural resources on the Soboba Reservation for all tribal members past, present and future.” The department works hard to raise awareness of all aspects of the environment. For those who want to learn more about their environment, visit the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s website at http://enviro.epa.gov.

Menifee businesses work to comply with latest coronavirus mandates Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Starbucks at Newport and Menifee roads cordons oﬀ all its outside tables, but business has not slowed down since the coronavirus hit in March and through all the state and county health authorities’ business Valley News/Tony Ault photos closures and mandates.

Mason Jar Brewing Company in the Menifee Hub shopping area shows limited hours and takeout only provided due to the coronavirus pandemic mandates closing all dine-in restaurants and bars, although sales of alcoholic beverages is still allowed as an essential business.

Almost every outside table is ﬁlled in front of Carnitas Express Mexican Restaurant Thursday, July 30, at Newport Road and Bradley Street, which is serving customers food outdoors only, due to the latest health mandate from state and county medical oﬃcers.

Alisha Piatt hugs her friend Rachel Clark during an outdoor lunch at Menifee’s Carnitas Express Mexican Restaurant. Both agree that the required face masks and social distancing orders in Menifee are “ridiculous.”

Many Menifee businesses are continuing to comply with the latest orders coming out of the governor’s office and county health authorities due to a surge in county coronavirus cases and hospitalizations but not without serious questions about the value of more closures. The latest orders to reduce the rising COVID-19 cases were announced by Gov. Gavin Newsom in mid-July. Restaurants are required to close their indoor business and serve customers outdoors or with takeout menus. In the two weeks before that announcement, restaurants, barber shops and hair salons reopened their businesses. Social distancing guidelines were maintained, strict sanitary actions performed and face masks were worn by employees, and their tables and stations kept continually sanitized. Business owners and employers were relieved to reopen, and most said they were careful to keep the mandated requirements. Customers too said they were happy to once again have some sense of normalcy return to their dining out, and routine haircuts and stylings allowed. After the current orders were instituted, confusion and anger were expressed by both businesses and the public in Menifee. Valley News conducted a survey and interviews which showed that most dine-in restaurants were moving their tables outdoors to the sidewalks or parking lots with the city’s permission provided the outdoor dining areas didn’t hinder pedestrian or motor traﬃc. All but a few of those surveyed reported a serious downturn in sales. Most barber shops and hair salons have once again closed their doors or are taking appointments only and keeping to the current health guidelines. One of the exceptions was the Starbucks coﬀee shop at Newport and Menifee roads which reportedly has not lost any business since the coronavirus pandemic

was declared in March. “Our business hasn’t changed at all. It is exactly the same,” Valerie Marquez said, looking at a long line of cars at the drive-up, but all the outside tables were cordoned off. “Everybody always has to get their cup of coffee.” Customers were allowed inside the café only to pick up their takeout orders. Panera Bread’s franchise in the Menifee Countryside Marketplace at Haun and Newport roads had cars lined up for the takeout window all the way onto the Marketplace’s main drive indicating no loss of business. BJ’s Brewhouse in the Marketplace, while having no indoor dining service, filled their outside sheltered patio area tables with a steady flow of customers coming and going. Each table was cleaned, and servers wore masks and plastic gloves. Customers filling the tables outside of Carnitas Express Mexican Restaurant at Bradley and Newport roads enjoyed their meals, but everyone interviewed said they were not happy with the governor’s latest orders. Alisha Piatt, with her family and friends, was eating outdoors at Carnitas Express. Piatt said the mandates are “ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. It is awful. The kids ought to be in school.” She called the mandate for outdoor dining “weird.” “It’s weird. It’s like in a foam with everybody’s mask on,” she said. She urged me to take mine off. “Take it off. It doesn’t matter,” Piatt said. Rachel Clark, one of her friends from Quail Valley, said, “It’s different for sure. Not what we are used to and out of the norm. I think it’s unnecessary.” Josh Piatt said, “It’s complete nonsense. Your body naturally fills up with immunities like viruses, and whatever diseases are around. You do not need to wear a mask, you know.” Tony Ault can be reached by email at tault@reedermedia.com.

Carnitas Express Mexican Restaurant posts notices telling customers that the restaurant is only accepting to go orders and there is limited outdoor seating only due to the state and county’s latest health mandate.

This sign, posted by the Menifee Chamber of Commerce in front of the True-Value Outdoor Living Center at Newport Road and Bradley Street, urges people and residents to shop locally.

Rancho Water approves professional services agreements, contracts Jeff Pack STAFF WRITER

Rancho California Water District held an Engineering and Operations Committee meeting Thursday, July 30, via teleconference and started the meeting off with a report regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and its relation to the water district. According to a staff report, the district offered coronavirus testing to staff and their families, performing more than 50 tests in the week before. There were questions from staff about when employees might be allowed to return to the district offices. They said the COVID-19 infection rate data was “turning the right

way,” but he wasn’t sure when employees would return. “Obviously we don’t want to bring just everybody back at once,” Armstrong said. “We’ve seen this happen with other agencies. It would most likely start oﬀ with leadership because we do need that in the workplace in order to maintain and control probably the measures that we have in place. And also, it’s an intangible value, bringing in leadership into the workplace. “I would say that maybe we would start bringing people back, maybe as volunteers, people that want to work from that space, and just kind of monitor, just slowly ramp that up over time,” he said. The committee unanimously

approved the district’s staff request to award an agreement for professional services with Hazen and Sawyer for $276,830, for the district’s pump station asset management program. Eva Plajzer, assistant general manager of engineering and operations, presented the committee with a report from staﬀ requesting the consideration of approving a sole-source agreement for professional services with Geoscience Support Services Inc. for an update and enhancement of the district’s Cooperative Water Resource Management Agreement Groundwater Model. Geoscience Support Services will collect and compile updated geohydrologic data; update the

existing three-dimensional lithologic model; update, refine and recalibrate the model; update the existing upper VDC Focused Model; prepare draft and final model addendum reports; attend project management and meetings and develop GIS site suitability analysis model development. The $193,792 contract was approved unanimously by the threeperson committee. The committee also considered a request by Southern California Edison for a grant of easement and associated quitclaim of an existing easement at Vail Lake, which staﬀ suggested an approval on. The item pertained to an approved grant of easement with SCE and the district to install a

new electrical service providing power to Rancho Water’s Vail Dam. SCE constructed the improvements starting in mid-2019, but during construction, unforeseen utility conﬂicts were discovered in the underground portion of the alignment that traverses the existing Lower Merlot campground area at Vail Lake and adjustments were made. However, SCE requires the easement to be amended based on the actual constructed location of the facilities. The item was approved unanimously by the committee. The committee also heard project reports and operation reports from June and July. Jeff Pack can be reached by email at jpack@reedermedia.com.

more certainty and clarity for the development community. The zoning code was developed as a smart code utilizing an online platform to make the code userfriendly and interactive.

shops and preparation of draft zoning, subdivision and grading ordinances and public hearings. “As a priority of the city council, the Menifee Streamline is the city’s business friendly initiative,” Armando Villa, city manager of Menifee, said. “We are proud of the group eﬀort to spur economic development, and updating the development code enhanced the ease of doing business in Menifee and assisted with certainty for our stakeholders.” Submitted by city of Menifee.

Riverside County tax roll grows, impacts of COVID-19 yet to be seen RIVERSIDE – Strong demand for inland real estate led to a nearly 6% increase in property values in Riverside County going into 2020, according to Riverside County’s

assessor-county clerk-recorder. Peter Aldana, county assessorcounty clerk-recorder, announced recently that the taxable value of all property in Riverside County

for the current year grew to $320 billion, an $18 billion increase. This year’s tax roll – a list of all taxable property, its owner and its value as of Jan. 1 – will generate

more than $3.2 billion for local government services. “Since the tax roll is based on property values as of Jan. 1, we won’t see the impacts of COVID-19 until next year,” Aldana said. “Pre-COVID-19, our economy was growing and strong demand for Riverside County real estate led to increasing property values. We won’t see the impacts of COVID until we look at property values as of Jan. 1, 2021. A lot can happen between now and then.” The median home price in Riverside County grew to $401,250 in December 2019, approaching the record high of $432,000 set in January 2007, according to CoreLogic, a real estate information services ﬁrm. Despite the increase in home prices, most property owners will not see an equal rise in property taxes on their next annual tax bill, which will be mailed in October. State law requires the assessor to enroll real property at the lesser of its current market value or the

Proposition 13 value – the market value as of the date the property was acquired or constructed, adjusted up to 2% annually for inflation. Eighty-four percent of Riverside County property is enrolled at its protected Proposition 13 value. Property owners may review their 2020 assessment roll value by visiting the assessor’s public access website at https://ca-riverside-acr.publicaccessnow.com/ Home.aspx or calling 951-9556200. Although the assessor works to enroll fair-market values, an owner might disagree with the valuation. Those owners may file a free decline-in-value application online. Applications are due by Nov. 1 and are available at the assessor’s public access website. Property owners also may request a formal hearing before the assessment appeals board. The deadline to file is Nov. 30. The application is available on the clerk of the board’s website at http:// www.rivcocob.org. Submitted by Riverside County.

Business Hemet barbershops reject latest business restrictions This does not work for our guys,” the owner said. He said as a business owner he could quit his job because he has saved enough money to get by, “but, most of my guys haven’t saved and have nothing to live on and can’t get unemployment.” He said that since the initial closure of his shop, he has lost almost 50% of his business with many of his barbers having to ﬁnd other work to support their families. Some continue to cut hair by appointment. He said those barbers that remain in his shop are recommended to and do wear

Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s latest mandate that barber shops and hair salons must close again due to the upsurge of coronavirus cases, is not faring well with local barbers and hairdressers, despite the allowance that they can continue their services outside their shops while keeping customers a safe distance from others. A Saturday, July 25, survey of many barber shops and beauty salons in the Hemet San Jacinto Valley and in Menifee revealed that none of the hair care and shops had moved their chairs and sun shades outside to serve customers.

Most beauty shops and hair care salons remained closed with many cosmetologists fearing the loss of their licenses if they continue their work. Contrary to the most recent closure orders for businesses, many barber shops remained open inside with fewer barbers and a wider separation between hair cutting chairs. Most barbers said they were willing to cover their faces with masks while cutting hair and continuously sanitizing their chairs and workstations to limit the spread of the coronavirus. A Hemet barber, who worked inside his shop with his face covered while cutting a customer’s hair, said, “We have to work to

make money.” The statement was the same sentiment expressed by other barbers, who were still working and wished to remain anonymous. One barber shop owner explained that most of his barbers are considered self-employed or independent contractors. As a result, they are unable to easily claim unemployment beneﬁts offered by the federal government and the state. He said he has had at least half of his barbers leave their chairs since barber shops were closed for more than two months. “We were allowed to open our shops again two weeks ago, now we are supposed to close again.

masks while cutting hair. “We do have a few rebels,” he said. “But, most do. “I never know when somebody (from the state) might walk in and close us down for good,” he said. He said they have little choice but to continue to work. None of the shops reported being ordered to close by authorities. All the barbers interviewed said they believe hair haircutting and hair care is a “necessary business” and should never have been shut down because of the coronavirus.

Education

TVUSD pushes school start date to Aug. 17, releases more information on online learning Will Fritz ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Classes for the 2020-2021 school year will begin online for students in the Temecula Valley Unified School District, and a few days later than originally planned. At a special meeting of TVUSD’s governing board Thursday, July 30, the board unanimously adopted a memorandum of understanding with the Temecula Valley Educators Association – the district’s teachers’ union – to adjust the calendar for the 2020-2021 academic year to allow preparations to be made for beginning the school year online. School had originally been planned to start Wednesday, Aug. 12. Under the new calendar, classes will now begin Monday, Aug. 17, with staff development days and a teacher preparation day taking place the week before. The school year will also be extended, with the last day of classes set for Tuesday, June 8, 2021. The adjusted calendar adds two work days for certificated staff. Those two additional days will cost the district about $1.9 million, to be paid for through funds from the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act. The district also agreed to a separate memorandum of understanding with the Temecula Valley Educators Association regarding online learning, reopening and safety impacts. Per the terms of that agreement, the district must notify employees as soon as possible when Riverside County is removed from the state’s coronavirus watchlist and must give at least seven days’ notice before a transition to in-classroom learning is made. Other stipulations in that agreement include that the district must provide appropriate guidance

regarding online learning and that it will allow employees access to their worksites and classrooms on a rotating schedule. The district “encourages unit members to fulfill their professional duties from their respective worksite, while using personal protective equipment and maintaining appropriate physical/social distancing, although they may elect to work from home.” Jodi McClay, TVUSD deputy superintendent of educational support services, who became the district’s new superintendent Aug. 1, also offered an update on the district’s online learning plans. McClay said the district is still planning schedules for online learning at the elementary, middle and high school levels and hoped to have finalized schedules sent to parents Monday, Aug. 3, but presented preliminary versions of those schedules to the governing board and the TVUSD community. While schedules for distance learning were very flexible in the spring and attendance was not required, McClay said when school begins Aug. 17, students will be expected to be participating in online learning during the same times they would typically be on their school campuses. “As an example, an elementary student last year attended school from 9 a.m. until 3:20 p.m., and that really will be the expectation this year,” McClay said. McClay said instruction will involve a combination of synchronous learning in which students are interacting live with a teacher, asynchronous learning in which students are not interacting live and independent work. At the middle and high school level, McClay said preliminary schedules will have students checking in with a homeroom teacher Mondays and primar-

ily working asynchronously and participating in classes Tuesday through Friday, with three classes per day – essentially a block schedule. She said students will receive six hours of instruction per week for each class. McClay said the district is committed to providing every single student with a device to use for online learning – something actually required by California’s Senate Bill 98, signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom in June. The bill required school districts operating with a distance learning format to provide devices and connectivity to every child, live interaction teacher-student interaction for every child, rigorous and grade-appropriate assignments and support for special education, English learners and students who are not performing at grade level. TVUSD currently has an order for 8,000 iPads expected to arrive before the start of the school year, McClay said.

McClay stressed to parents that the decision to begin the school year online-only was not in TVUSD’s hands. Newsom announced July 17 that schools in counties on the state’s coronavirus monitoring list – which is currently true of Riverside County – must being the school year virtually and may not resume in-person instruction until after they have been oﬀ the list for 14 days. “This was not a local decision,” McClay said. “We really didn’t have a choice, and so basically we are adhering to our governor’s mandate right now, which states that if our local health jurisdiction, which in our case is Riverside County, has been on what’s called the monitoring list in the last 14 days, we must conduct our business in a distance-learning-only format.” There is one exception to the governor’s order – health oﬃcers may grant a waiver to allow elementary schools only to reopen in-

person if requested by a district’s superintendent, in consultation with labor organizations, parents and community organizations. “When considering a waiver request, the local health officer must consider local data and consult with the California Department of Public Health,” according to information shared online by the governor’s office. However, there is not yet a process for applying for a waiver, nor are there any criteria for what districts may qualify. “We are anxiously awaiting that information so that we can visit this topic,” McClay said. “I know we have a lot of community support for applying for this waiver, and so as soon as we get the criteria and we know what the process is and whether or not we would qualify, we will most definitely be investigating that.” Will Fritz can be reached by email at wfritz@reedermedia.com.

Menifee Union School District governing board approves major construction bid Jeremiah Tatola WRITER

The Menifee Union School District’s governing board met Tuesday, July 25, beginning with the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a prayer led by Rob Altice, pastor of the Menifee Valley Church of the Nazarene. The ﬁrst agenda item was the district’s ongoing search for a new superintendent. Joseph Condan and Suzette Lovely, consultants with Education Support Services, addressed the characteristics being sought, which were taken from two public surveys. “We’ve talked to over 25 (applicants) in the last couple of weeks,” Lovely said.

From the same survey, Condan presented poll results showing parent and staff overall satisfaction rates with the district. Board president Jacquelyn Johansen closed the item, stating the board’s belief that an emphasis on student achievement would enhance a contending superintendent’s application. “I would add something on student achievement. Recognize the growth potential of our student population and actively work with Ed. Services to increase student achievement,” she said. Next, a letter was read from Albert Lopez, president of the Menifee Council of Classified Employees, regarding his final year as union president.

“I would like to take this time to thank the board members and the management team for their efforts over the past several years,” Lopez said in the letter. A report from Shelli Sullivan, president of the Menifee Teachers Association was read as well. The members of the teachers association voted to approve the memorandum of understanding for reopening Menifee schools which was negotiated between the teacher’s union and district oﬃcials, she said. Following both reports, the board opened the ﬂoor to members of the public to address items not on the meeting’s agenda. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, community comments were sent in to the board and read by Betti

Cadmus, the district’s public information oﬃcer. Reports from board members were addressed. Johansen and the district’s deputy clerk, Robert O’Donnell, said they both separately visited Menifee Valley Middle School in the previous week, where major headway has been made in the school’s $38 million renovation. J. Kyle Root, the board vice president, expressed gratitude to the teachers union for working with the district in navigating the new challenges presented due to the ongoing pandemic. Superintendent Gary Rutherford agreed with Root’s report. “I wanted to acknowledge our employees at the MTA and our partners from the MCCE,”

Rutherford said. The board made unanimous motions for meeting formalities as well as financial budgeting approvals. The largest financial approvals came from the budgeting reconciliation between BakerNowici Design Studio and the renovation of Menifee Valley Middle School. The board approved an increase of $520,087 for Phase 3B of the project. Subsequently, the governing board adjourned the meeting at 6:10 p.m. following the financial approvals.

MSJC student named 2020 Coca-Cola Leaders of Promise Scholar SAN JACINTO – James Crawford, a political science major at Mt. San Jacinto College, has been named a 2020 Coca-Cola Leaders of Promise Scholar and will receive a $1,000 scholarship. The 18-year-old Hemet resident is one of only 207 Phi Theta Kappa members nationwide to earn the honor this year. “For me, the scholarship is a personal visible validation of the work and community involvement that I have been so proud to be a part of throughout the past couple of years,” Crawford said, who plans to graduate from MSJC in May. “And aside from the obvious ﬁnancial assistance that the scholarship oﬀers, it also provides further motivation for me to use as I continue throughout my educational and career pathway.” At MSJC, Crawford is a member of PTK and the Political Science Club and serves as a mentor for the Honors Enrichment and Supplemental Instruction programs. In the community, he serves on the executive board for the Democrats of Hemet-San Jacinto, where he’s part of the scholarship subcommittee, the voter registration and voter outreach subcommittee and the youth outreach subcommittee. He has also helped on several political campaigns, including Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign. After MSJC, Crawford plans to transfer to University of Cali-

fornia Riverside or University of California Berkeley to earn his bachelor’s degree in political science, and eventually earn a doctorate in political theory. He said he hopes to become a professor at a community college, and continue actively participating in various political campaigns and organizations.

The Coca-Cola Leaders of Promise Scholarship Program helps new Phi Theta Kappa members defray educational expenses while enrolled in associate degree programs. Scholars are encouraged to assume leadership roles by participating in PTK programs and are selected based on scholastic achievement, community service and leadership potential. Nearly 700 applications were received. “The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation has a long history of providing financial assistance to outstanding students at community colleges,” Jane Hale Hopkins, president of the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, said. “We are proud to partner with Phi Theta Kappa to make it possible for more deserving students to achieve their

educational goals and support tomorrow’s leaders of the global community.” The funds provided by the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation not only aid college completion but also give students the opportunity to engage in PTK programs and develop leadership skills to become future leaders in their communities. “Research shows that Phi Theta Kappa members are four times more likely to complete a college degree than their peers,” Monica Marlowe, Ph.D., executive director of the Phi Theta Kappa Foundation. “The Leaders of Promise Scholarships recognize students for what they have achieved already and assure that financial need isn’t an obstacle to achieving

their academic goals.” Phi Theta Kappa is the premier honor society recognizing the academic achievement of students at associate degree-granting colleges and helping them to grow as scholars and leaders. PTK has more than 3.5 million members and nearly 1,300 chapters in 11 nations with about 240,000 active members in the nation’s colleges. Learn more at http://www.ptk.org. Mt.

Education SJUSD delays opening, Jing Jian graduates from the offers distance learning only University of Iowa Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The San Jacinto Unified School District announced Tuesday, July 28, that it is changing the school year start date to Aug. 17, with all classes beginning virtually in the district. SJUSD notified parents that the district would be in touch with each parent to give the families the start times and more details on the online learning curriculum. Superintendent David Pyle said the district offices will be open during their regular business hours with staff available to answer questions about the distribution of supplies and distance learning equipment needed to launch the new school year. At the July 23 meeting, the SJUSD board of trustees adopted a resolution to extend district emergency authorizations due to the COVID-19 conditions in preparation of the new school year and acknowledged that this year will begin with only the distance learning option for students. The original start date was Aug. 6. In a news release, the district said, “Our administrative teams and staff groups have been meeting, discussing the processes and procedures needed to ensure we meet the governor’s directives for rigorous distance learning. We are focusing on four main areas in regards to instruction: devices

(Chromebooks) and connectivity (internet connection) so that every SJUSD student can participate in distance learning; daily live interaction and required participation for every child with teachers and other students; engaging lessons and graded class assignments that are challenging and equivalent to in-person instruction and targeted support and intervention for English learners, homeless, foster youth and special education students. “We recognize that everyone is anxiously awaiting additional information about our new school year; however, we also recognize the importance of providing clear and accurate information. School office staff will be reporting to the campuses next week, and they will begin sending parents specific information as noted by superintendent Dr. Pyle in his weekly Five Fast Facts – Video 3, posted on our website. “We encourage you to continue to check your email and our district website and/or the school websites for the latest information and updates as we approach the first day of school. Thank you for your continued trust in San Jacinto Unified as we begin the journey into the 2020-2021 school year,” the district said in the news release.

The popularity of the event has attracted well-known names throughout the years such as Emmy winner Cady McClain; John Corser, executive vice president of Universal Studios; a panel of Disney animators and graphic designers; “A-list” scriptwriters; competition gamers and YouTube influencers – just to name a few. This year’s DigiDay is stacking up the virtual red carpet with names like actor Teddy Lane Jr. and actor and filmmaker Jess Paul. Although the normal, three-day digital in-person DigiFest 2020 event will look different this year, it just goes to show how important digital technology is – hence the “Show Must Go On” attitude. JDS Creative Academy and Digifest Temecula are embracing technology and utilizing streaming platforms to roll with the ever-changing world, in hopes to engage with more people from all

I say it’s just bad at being scary for the first hour. It tries to wring jump scares out of mundane things like faucets being turned on and clothes being pushed out of the way. The film’s defenders will say something about how these scenes establish that the house itself is scary, but the real explanation is that the film senses it’s losing its audience, so it needs to throw in jump scares whether they make sense or not. As for the characters, Kay and Sam aren’t very interesting. At least Edna is sympathetic in some scenes, chilling in others, but always compelling. It’s a slog to get to the rewarding ending of this

movie, and that rewarding ending is coming, but it’s so little fun getting there that I can’t recommend this movie overall. Grade: C “Relic” is available on demand through streaming services and likely through a local cable provider. The ﬁlm is rated R for some horror violence/disturbing images, and language. Its running time is 89 minutes. Contact Bob Garver at rrg251@ nyu.edu.

Movie Review: ‘Relic’ Bob Garver SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

If you like haunted house horror movies, I’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is that “Relic” is much better than “You Should Have Left,” that awful Kevin Bacon movie from June that is very likely to wind up as my choice for Worst Movie of 2020. I mean it, if you like things going bump in the night and disorienting houses with weird dimensions, “Relic” is the superior ﬁlm. The bad news is that “superior” is relative. Just because I think “Relic” is better than that assault on my brain cells doesn’t mean I’d go so far as to recommend it. The story sees the emotionally distant Kay, played by Emily Mortimer, and her daughter Sam, played by Bella Heathcote, summoned to the spacious home of Kay’s elderly mother Edna, played by Robyn Nevin, because the old woman has gone missing. The police are called and there’s communitywide worry, but Edna pops up in the house a few days later like nothing happened. It’s great that she’s OK – apart from a black bruise on her chest that looks suspiciously similar to mold gradually overtaking the house – but Kay and Sam are now faced with the task of making sure Edna doesn’t go wandering oﬀ again. She’s not mentally fit to live on her own, the nearest nursing home is too depressing and Kay’s career doesn’t allow her to give her mother the full-time care she needs – despite Sam’s insistence that it’s her daughterly duty.

Kay and Sam agree to stay at Edna’s house until they can figure something out. Everything worsens – Edna’s dementia, the tension between Kay and Sam, suspicious shadows and bumps in the night and of course the mold. Most notable is the deterioration of Edna, both mentally and physically. The bruise on her chest grows until it could be mistaken for a shirt, and she’s suffering additional cuts and injuries that she may be inflicting on herself. Speaking of her behavior, she nearly tears off Sam’s finger snatching back a ring that she herself had given her, is so scared of her surroundings that she makes Kay check under the bed for monsters and gets rid of old photos by burying albums in the yard and eating the pictures. She’s drifting away from her loved ones, but this film being a horror movie, it’s also possible that she’s the only one who knows what’s really going on with the strangeness of the house. Although this film is Australian – good luck understanding some of the dialogue through the accents – it takes a sharp-turn into Japanesestyle horror at the end. It all has to do with the process of grieving, whether over the actual loss of a loved one to death or the nonliteral loss through Alzheimer’s disease. But boy, does this movie have a freaky way of symbolizing this theme. The ending of this film is gross and disturbing, and at the same time, tender and touching. It’s an excellent sequence. I just wish the film had done a better job of leading up to it. “Relic” prides itself on being a “slow burn” horror movie, but

Temecula Valley Southern California Wine Country celebrates California Wine Month in September TEMECULA – Celebrate California Wine Month in September by staying in Temecula Valley Southern California Wine Country, sipping wine, watching the sunset, dining al fresco and absorbing the scenery. Temecula Valley Wine Month encourages wine lovers to wander local vineyards and relax among expansive landscapes, award-winning wines in the comfort of clean, safe accommodations. Explore the wine trails. Visitors to the region can take advantage of three unique wine trails to help plan their winetasting experience. It’s easy to spend a day on each trail, taking in the variety of wines and unique experiences they have to offer. Rancho California Wine Trail – Some of the region’s oldest and most well-known wineries can be found here. Most visitors first encounter this trail upon exiting the Interstate 15 freeway at Rancho Califonria Road and driving east. Located on the west side of the trail sits Hart Winery, Callaway Vineyard & Winery, Thornton Winery, Baily Vineyard & Winery, Bolero Winery, Europa Village, Mount Palomar Winery, Miramonte Winery, Churon Winery and Bel Vino Winery. Further east, visitors can explore Maurice Car’rie Vineyard & Winery, Avensole Vineyard & Winery, Carter Estate Winery & Vineyard, South Coast Winery, Wiens Family Cellars, Ponte Winery, Bottaia Winery, Monte De Oro, Wilson Creek Winery & Vineyard, Chapin Family Vineyards and Doffo Vineyard & Winery. Standouts along this densely concentrated trail include Callaway Vineyard & Winery, the first commercial winery in Temecula Valley; Thornton Winery, known for their sparklings, and Baily Vineyard & Winery, specializing in the Bordeaux varieties. Calle Cotento Wine Trail – For an “off the beaten path” wine

tasting experience, visitors won’t want to miss the Calle Cotento Wine Trail. Located just off Rancho California Road, this wine trail boasts sweeping views of vineyards throughout the trail’s meandering path. This area is home to Akash Winery, Peltzer Family Cellars, Lumiere Winery and Vindemia. Don’t miss The Crush House tasting room at Peltzer Family Cellars where guests can sample unique wines in rustic, hip style. De Portola Wine Trail – Just south of Rancho California Road, the De Portola Wine Trail wanders through an equestrian region, nestled against the foothills of Temecula Valley. The Spanish influence in both architecture and wine is strong at Masia de la Vinya, while Cougar Vineyard & Winery, which features 100% estate, award-winning Italian varietals including primitivo, pinot grigio and pulciano; Robert Renzoni Vineyards & Winery and Danza del Sol Winery all evoke the idyllic Italian wine scene, and nearby Foot Path Winery is the only certified user of organic grapes in the valley. Wine tasters won’t want to miss the grape shiraz at Fazeli Cellars or the hilltop views at Oak Mountain Winery. Other De Portola Wine Trail favorites include Leoness Cellars, with its lush grounds and critically acclaimed wine list, and Gershon Bachus Vitners, where a wine education program takes tasters on an adventure through red wines. Enjoy a romantic moment. The romance of wine county can be captured through experiences high above the vineyards, on horseback over the rolling hills, outdoors dining with panoramic views or overlooking the valley. Hot Air Ballooning – Couples can watch the sunrise together in a hot air balloon floating over the vineyards. This activity is popular for marriage proposals, celebrations and special occasions.

California Dreamin’, Magical Adventure and A Grape Escape all offer a “Will You Marry Me?” package. Horse Drawn Carriage Ride – There is something magically romantic about a horse and carriage ride through the vineyards. Temecula Carriage Company offers private horse drawn carriage rides for couples, complete with an intimate vineyard picnic and a bottle of sparkling wine. Sunset Viewing – Temecula Valley is known for its stunning sunsets. Professional photographers flock to wine country’s hilltops in hopes of capturing some of the most spectacular landscape images rich with blended colors of scarlet, crimson, saffron, dusty orange, gray-pink and eggplant in the vast open skies above. The best spots cozy up and relax with a glass of wine while watching the sunset together are Avensole Winery, Bel Vino Winery, Callaway Vineyard & Winery, Danza Del Sol Winery, Lorimar Vineyards & Winery and Palumbo Vineyards & Winery. Al Fresco Dining with a View – With 19 dining options to choose from in wine country, dining outdoors is one of Temecula Valley Southern California Wine Country’s unique amenities. Al fresco dining is a favorite with visitors who want to take in the panoramic views. Celebrated chefs use local, natural resources to create innovative dishes that pair beautifully with their wines. Winery restaurants with sweeping views include Bel Vino Bistro at Bel Vino Winery, Baba Joon’s Kitchen at Fazeli Cellars, Flower Hill Bistro at Miramonte Winery, Mama Rosa’s Trattoria at Robert Renzoni Winery, Meritage at Callaway Winery, Pinnacle at Falkner Winery and The Pool Café at Bottaia Winery.

Historical figure Jose Estudillo performed by actor on Zoom TEMECULA – Actor Bill Veale performed Jose Estudillo, one of the ﬁrst San Jacinto Valley pioneers, in a special Zoom presentation Monday, July 27, sponsored by the Temecula Valley Historical Society. The Evening with Jose Estudillo, performed by Veale, delighted the many Zoom participants who were originally hoping to enjoy a live performance that was canceled at Vail Headquarters due to the latest changes in the coronavirus pandemic regulations. José Estudillo was a husband and father of 12 children. He was a horse trainer, inﬂuential rancher in the San Jacinto Valley and

lived under three countries that governed California during his lifetime – Spain, Mexico and the United States. He had interactions with Gov. Pio Pico, Gen. Stephen Kearney and explorer Kit Carson. The performance had Veale wearing what Estudillo may have worn when he lived at his home in San Jacinto, at 150 S. Dillon Ave. in San Jacinto. The Estudillo Mansion is now designated a historical landmark. For more information on the Temecula Valley Historical Society, visit https://www.temeculahistoricalsociety.org.

Temecula fighter readies herself for upcoming UFC fight JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

As professional sports are making a somewhat triumphant return amid the coronavirus pandemic, Dana White and the Ultimate Fighting Championships have stood their ground through it all. White has been bringing fight fans all over the world some sense of normalcy while stay-at-home orders went out in March. Despite the fact that arenas are empty, teams and announcers and camera crews have to social distance and fighters have to take coronavirus tests every day in order to stay on top of the UFC’s new stricter regulations, fans have been entertained, almost weekly, with top-tier bouts. White also caught a lot of heat when he decided to move forward during the pandemic, but when looking at the precautions taken and low numbers for positive COVID-19 cases, it seemed like the way to go. At a recent postfight news conference after the UFC returned to the Apex in Las Vegas recently, White was asked about his thoughts on how well the UFC has done in comparison to organizations like Major League Baseball, which seems in jeopardy. “There’s a lot of mistakes that these other leagues have made, and they could do it right if they wanted to,” White said. One of the mistakes it seems would be not making what is

being called “a bubble,” a closedoff area for athletes, events staff with constant testing and no fans. White has mentioned how expensive it is to take those steps, but it seems to be paying off for the UFC. “You have to be in the bubble,” White said of how to hold events during the pandemic. “It’s impossible to pull this thing off without a bubble. You have to do it.” So how do athletes prepare for

a ﬁght while COVID-19 is still spreading? Temecula resident and veteran UFC ﬁghter, Ashley “The Spider Monkey” Yoder has been hard at working tackling that exact question. Yoder, who was born in Indianapolis, moved to Temecula in 2011, two months after graduating from Indiana University, where she received two bachelor’s degrees in criminal justice and African American diaspora studies.

After appearing as a cast member in 2016 on the UFC show, “The Ultimate Fighter 23,” she made her promotional debut later that year and currently boasts a 7-5 record in the Strawweight Division of the UFC. Yoder is scheduled to face Livia Renata Souza Saturday, Aug. 15, at UFC 252. For fighters like Yoder, training takes her to places all over the state. Whether it’s at Dan Henderson Athletic Fitness Center in Temecula, cross training with CSA up north, doing underwater workouts at Deep End Fitness in San Diego or getting her heartrate going at Dynamic Fitness HPK in Temecula, staying in fight shape is a daily must, she said. Though she spent most of the quarantine recovering from an injury, she never stopped training. “I obviously wasn’t working out like I normally would, but I certainly did a lot of Zoom training,” she said. Yoder fought most of her fights in the California circuit under BAMMA USA, Invicta and Gladiator Challenge promotions and amassed a record of 5-1 before joining UFC. During that time, she was a constant fixture with trainers Kevin Duenas and Brian Richardson, co-owners of Dynamic Fitness HPK in Temecula. “Kevin and I have been working as Ashley’s performance specialists since 2012,” Richardson, who has lived in Temecula since 1990, said. “Typically, she is with us year-round. It’s nice because we get to closely monitor her through all phases of her training, including but not limited to, base conditioning, strength endurance, hypertrophy and maximum power phases which lead us directly to pre-fight camp.” During camp, their main goal is to keep Yoder healthy. “It can be challenging when you’re working with an athlete that gets punched in the face for a living,” Richardson said. That said, her conditioning is based on a very comprehensive evaluation and complete metabolic testing, including maximum oxygen consumption and lactate threshold.

“This allows us to temper her heart rate training zones in a way that will allow her to use higher percentages of fat at higher intensities,” Richardson said. “This ultimately creates a platform for her to push a much higher pace during rounds.” Richardson is a former professional athlete, which is what led him down the path of sport science. Upon completing his seventh and final World Championship in 2000, he went on to obtain a master’s degree in kinesiology with an emphasis in performance enhancement and injury prevention before continuing most of his postgraduate work at the C.H.E.K. Institute in San Diego. “I trust them in everything they do for me,” Yoder said, who is among some of the top names in UFC that live locally and train at the same places, including Dynamic Fitness HPK. Richardson is also ACE massage cupping certified as well as rock tape/blade certified for soft tissue modalities. Both he and Duenas work with many professional athletes in various sports, not just UFC, though their list of big name fighters certainly turns some heads, including Dan Henderson, Sam Alvey, Tarec Saffiedine, Thierry Sokoudjou, Richie Whitson, Frank Lester and Yoder, just to name a few. As for her upcoming fight, Richardson said Yoder is absolutely ready. “There are some techniques that we’ve introduced in the past and we’ve been very diligent with making sure she stays on top of them,” he said. “I mentally feel better than I ever have,” Yoder said. “I have grown so much since my last fight, and I am really ready to put on my best performance to date.” Yoder, who is a profound dog lover, said she is her toughest opponent as her Aug. 15 bout draws near. She also said she plans to keep fighting in the UFC until “they stop paying me” she laughingly admitted. “I am not sure any of the girls have been tougher than another,” she said when asked about her toughest matches. “I do feel like I have had battles more with myself in competing with girls that have had professional careers prior to UFC.” UFC 252 will take place at the Apex in Las Vegas Saturday, Aug. 15, at 7 p.m. on the West Coast. The fight card includes: Main Card – Stipe Miocic vs. Daniel Cormier (title fight); Junior dos Santos vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik; Magomed Ankalaev vs. Ion Cutelaba; Pedro Munhoz vs. Frankie Edgar; Sean O’Malley vs. Marlon Vera; UNDERCARD Felice Herrig vs. Virna Jandiroba; Livinha Souza vs. Ashley Yoder; Herbert Burns vs. Daniel Pineda; John Dodson vs. Merab Dvalishvili.

How Temecula FC has dealt with COVID-19 Joey Balleweg INTERN

Southern California sports fans are enjoying seeing some of their favorite teams begin their new seasons. While large market teams often steal the headlines and attention of avid sports fans, not much is said about equally impacted small market teams. One such team is Temecula FC who represents southwest Riverside County on the soccer field. Three games into the National Premier Soccer League season, Temecula FC’s competitive year was over due to the coronavirus pandemic. There were no trophies to hand out, no players to promote and no fans in the stands. Kenneth Farewell, the chairman of the NPSL, decided to cancel the 2020 season in late March with hopes of resuming in 2021. “It was unfortunate,” Brandon Jantz, owner of Temecula FC, said. “We had strengthened our squad (for the 2020 season), making it one of the best we have ever had.” The timing of the cancellation put the club in a tough position because much of the team’s expenses had already been consumed to support players. Temecula FC captain, Ryan Brent said, “I felt we had a good chance to make the playoffs. We had just brought in a couple really nice players that I thought would have brought everything together.” Jantz had two choices left, he said, either let the team go or stand by the club through the difficulties and unknowns of the coronavirus. “This club is much more than a

business to me; it is my passion,” he said. Jantz said he has tried to make the most of the situation by looking within the organization to see how they can improve themselves from executives, to staff and down to the players on the field. “We have been looking back into what we need to improve in, like areas in the community we can help out in once things get lifted,” Jantz said. As for Brent, he said it is a great time for players who want to go to the next level to work on their skills. “You have to have a mentality that the more you work now it will pay off in the future” he said. “I know a lot of our players are working hard.” One of the club’s main priorities has been improving their player development. Jantz said, “The system here in the U.S. is flawed and broken.” With the time off, the team has been working with their European contacts to better implement a European model, which includes trying to make club fees as low as possible and hiring highly touted youth coaches for their player development program. As for the players currently on the Temecula FC roster, Jantz keeps in contact with them weekly and voiced their devastation for the canceled season. “These are all aspiring professionals looking to make it to the top, and there just isn’t much we can do as a club,” he said. Brent said, “As captain, I try to reach out to everyone at least once a month to hear how they are doing.”

Many of the other NPSL teams in the Southern California area have shut down for the time being due to the pandemic, leaving no clubs for Temecula FC to play. The team did have a two-week training session in late June to work on the team’s ﬁtness and touch, but since then they have shut down all soccer operations in light of the surge in positive COVID-19 cases in Riverside County. Brent said, “I try to train with some of the guys as much as I

can, but there’s only so much you can do when you have no games to play.” “We really have been focusing on the inside, what can we do to better ourselves so we can hit the ground running when this thing is over,” Jantz said. The next competition for Temecula FC soccer could be in early December in the Riverside Cup, when the club hopes to host a game against one of their Southern California teams. As for the

NPSL, Jantz said he will be heading to Pennsylvania in September along with other board members to discuss the plan for the 2021 season. It was not the year Temecula FC expected, but Jantz said, Temecula FC “looks forward to working hard to grow in the community and to put together a team our community can be proud of.” Joey Balleweg can be reached by email at sports@reedermedia. com.

Former Bronco Kyle Williams awarded postgraduate scholarship from Pac-12 to study medicine JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

Arizona State Football player Kyle Williams, who was also a standout at Vista Murrieta High School, is among 24 studentathletes that has been awarded a Pac-12 Postgraduate Scholarship for the 2019-2020 academic year. The scholarships, worth $9,000 each, are awarded to up to two student-athletes from each Pac-12 school annually based on their commitment to education, campus and community involvement and demonstrated leadership. Williams excelled at wide receiver for coach Herm Edwards’ team, catching a pass in 41 consecutive games which is tied for the third-longest streak in Arizona State University history. His 161 career catches put him in seventh place on the university’s career receptions list. Majoring in biomedical engineering, Williams was also named the recipient of the Kajikawa Award which goes annually to the top student on the football team. Oﬀ the ﬁeld, as an aspiring

Student athletes cope with postponed competitions after months of uncertainty Emily Schwank INTERN

Facing scheduling changes due to the coronavirus pandemic, student athletes are coping with the

reality that their sports may be postponed or canceled in response. A schedule for state and regional championships was released recently by the California Interscholastic Federation. Sports such

as cross-country, which usually ends around October, have been extended well into March. Girls’ tennis, a fall sport, has now been combined with boys’ tennis, and students will compete as late as June. Additionally, sports such as track and baseball were canceled in March, very early in the season. Reid Poltl, a senior who lives in Temecula and runs track and ﬁeld, said, “After training since summer, (track) got canceled after the ﬁrst meet.” Swimmer Nate Marble, a senior at Chaparral High School, said, “The remainder of my high school season was canceled altogether.” After their seasons were canceled, these athletes had to decide whether or not they wanted to continue to train for almost a year before competing again. In some cases, students compete in both fall and spring sports. While these students still face uncertainty, they will likely be able to compete as early as December, according to the recent CIF schedules. Fall sports are running from late December to early April, and the spring sports are running from mid-March to June. Athletes in both fall and spring seasons will

Jacob Bustamante, a senior who lives in Temecula and competes in both track and ﬁeld and crosscountry, said, “Our coaches have continued contact with practice schedules and other news.” With these practice schedules, Bustamante has been running every day and continuing his training even though he is not certain when

he will compete again. Despite the uncertainty, Poltl said, “I just hope I can compete next year.” “Despite the absence of swim practice, I still think I’ll be excited for next season when the time comes,” Marble said. Emily Schwank can be reached by email at valleystaﬀ@reedermedia.com.

Mother continues to fight for cure to disease that took her son

Jeff Pack STAFF WRITER

It has been a little less than five years since the 2011 Fallbrook High School graduate Jeff Turner died with a rare disease at the age of 22. But his mother, Heidi Blankenship-Turner, is committed to the fight for a cure for epithelioid sarcoma, the cancer that took her son away from her in 2015. Blankenship-Turner launched a

GoFundMe page to raise funds in July, which was Sarcoma Awareness Month and also the birth month of her son. “(In July) I finally felt strong enough emotionally to dedicate a daily posting on social media about sarcoma awareness and our Jeffrey,” she said. “I have a friend that was diagnosed recently with a sarcoma, and she will be completing her final chemotherapy next week. I wanted to let more people

be aware of this cancer and ask for donations so that more research and funding can be done.” On the GoFundMe page, Blankenship-Turner went into detail about the disease that changed her family’s lives forever. She said she named the page “Our Jeffrey” because of the support system that formed around the young man while he was fighting the disease. “When our son Jeffrey was diagnosed with epithelioid sarcoma in 2014 at the age of 20, we were lost,” Blankenship-Turner said on the fundraising page. “We had never heard of this cancer and found that resources for information on it were few and far between, not to mention the lack of medical research for a cure for this disease.” As it turned out, that’s because only one in 2.5 million people are diagnosed with epithelioid sarcoma each year. According to Blankenship-Turner, the cancer is one of about 70 sub-types of sarcomas. In adults, sarcomas are estimated to be about 1% of all cancers, and occur in approximately 12,000 people a year in the U.S., according to a report by the Sarcoma Progress Review Group, and are “relatively more common among children.” Cancer.net showed that the fiveyear survival rate for epithelioid sarcoma patients is 50% to 70%, and the 10-year survival rate is 42% to 55%. According to the American Cancer Society, most sarcomas occur for no apparent reason. And epithelioid sarcoma can only be cured with surgery. According to BlankenshipTurner, her son was reporting sciatic pain and was misdiagnosed with plantar fasciitis because “he couldn’t flex on the ball of his right foot.” A few months later, Jeff couldn’t walk without crutches and he went

in for an MRI where “the results showed a sheath tumor called a Schwannoma attached to his sciatic nerve below his right buttocks,” Blankenship-Turner said. “These tumors are usually benign and surgery was scheduled to remove it. But once they reached the site, they found it to look suspicious, and instead of removing his tumor, they took a biopsy.” That’s when Jeff was diagnosed with epithelioid sarcoma. He was immediately admitted into the Loma Linda University Proton Therapy program and underwent daily radiation treatment five days a week for five weeks. According to BlankenshipTurner, the radiation treatment worked and had shrunk the tumor significantly. She said surgery was scheduled to remove the tumor, though because of where the tumor was located, her son would be paralyzed from the knee down in his right leg. “I joked that he wasn’t going to be a professional skateboarder, so that was OK,” she said. The Turners were also told that because radiation had worked so well and the tumor removed, there was a minute chance of cancer metastasizing. But, roughly six months later, Jeff was told that they found two spots on his right lung. “Jeffrey and I were floored,” Blankenship-Turner said. “We thought that we were going in for a regular follow-up appointment. I have never been hit by a truck, but when they delivered the results, that is how I felt. Jeffrey had always been so stoic throughout his life. Except this. Jeffrey only cried in front of me twice since this started. When he was diagnosed with cancer and when we found out it had spread to his lung. My baby was shattered, I was gutted ... the two of us absolutely did not

see this coming.” Jeff was sent back to chemotherapy treatments, later finding Dr. Arun Singh at University of California Los Angeles with whom Jeff would begin extensive chemotherapy which hospitalized him for up to a week during each treatment. “After a few of these chemo treatments, two painful draining of fluid from his lung, the new scan showed the initial two tumors in his lung had grown from the size of the tip of a crayon to a softball, with many additional ones now in his lung,” Blankenship-Turner said. “It was as if the chemo was feeding them.” The cancer was spreading at an alarming rate, she said, and there was little doctors could do to stop it this time and Singh urged the family to take Jeff home. “I was just told to bring my baby home for good,” she said. The family celebrated with Jeff, and just two weeks after returning home, he died Nov. 15, 2015. “With his brother Max, grandparents, stepdad Marcus and I around him, Jeffrey passed away,” Blankenship-Turner said. “We were blessed to have this time with him.” So far, a little more than $1,000 has been raised through the fundraiser at https://chari t y. g o f u n d m e . c o m / o / e n / campaign/our-Jeffrey-sarcomaawareness/heiditurner5?utm_ campaign=oc&utm_ medium=email&utm_ source=crowdrise, which will send 100% of the donations to The Sarcoma Foundation of America for research and a cure.

Temecula resident crosses the COVID-19 finish line at Temecula Valley Hospital TEMECULA – Temecula resident David Rich recovered from COVID-19 at Temecula Valley Hospital and was released. “I thought I had the ﬂu,” Rich said. “After about a week of my temperature spiking to 104 degrees, I knew something was wrong since I wasn’t getting better.” Rich said he is normally a healthy Temecula resident. He hardly ever gets sick or takes prescriptions. He enjoys time outdoors and does landscaping and yardwork, and he recently replaced the gutters on his home. His wife Roxana Rich thought at ﬁrst he had heatstroke, she said. She monitored her husband while he wasn’t feeling well at home and began to worry. “His temperature alarmed me,” she said. She took him into Temecula Valley Hospital’s emergency room, and he was diagnosed with COVID-19 and came home to recover in quarantine in his own home. As the symptoms continued to get worse, Roxana Rich said she needed to bring her husband back into Temecula Valley Hospital for further treatment. “I felt very scared,” she said. “As soon as the nurse came up to the car to help me with David, she reassured me. She listened to me and helped me calm down. It was very traumatic. I hugged and kissed David so many times before they took him into the hospital, not knowing if I would ever see him again.”

David Rich was admitted to the COVID-19 unit and spent the next few days receiving the antiviral medication treatment of remdesivir. While in the hospital, he texted with his wife and was able to call and FaceTime her during his stay. Roxana Rich said she connected with her husband’s health care team for status updates often, calling his nurse at 3 a.m. to check in on him when she couldn’t sleep. “Even though I couldn’t see him, I was kept informed,” she said. Once David Rich’s vitals returned to normal, he was discharged. He was welcomed home with a sign that his wife made him with the words: “COVID FINISH LINE! YOU DID IT! YOU WON! MY COVID HERO!” “From the start to the finish, the Temecula Valley Hospital team was professional, friendly and provided superb care,” David Rich said. “I give Temecula Valley Hospital an A+!” His wife said she has a newfound respect for health care professionals. “I knew that David was getting the care he needed, and I needed to trust our medical team. I have great respect for doctors, nurses and all health care professionals,” she said. The couple recently visited Temecula Valley Hospital to drop off a thank you to the staff who cared for him. Rich said he is feeling more like himself every day and even mowed his lawn recently. Temecula Valley Hospital, with

Life’s a beach for surfer with dementia, despite COVID-19 restrictions MURRIETA – Lifelong surfer Roger Moyer longs for the waves and sand, but COVID-19 reopening safety considerations still keep him from the shore. Instead the Murrieta memory care community where he resides brought it to him Thursday, July 16, by creating a beach experience right outside its doors at Vineyard Place, 24325 Washington Ave. The community set up surfboards, beach umbrellas and chairs; brought in a vintage Woody station wagon; played beach music and served picnic drinks and snacks. Organizers set out containers of sand and a pool of salt water for Moyer and other residents taking part to dip their hands and feet into so they enjoy the shore’s physical sensations. “Sensory cues are especially

important for those living with memory impairment, because they stir recollections of wonderful moments from the past,” Jodie Cornman, senior community relations director for Vineyard Place, said. “Handling the surfboards and getting in and out of the Woody will also be significant tactile and visual moments that bring the experience alive.” Moyer began surfing at the age of six and pursued his passion throughout his life, especially favoring the waves at Encinitas, Carlsbad and Trestles at San Onofre State Beach. He also built a career as a religious leader, serving as senior pastor at Calvary Chapel Carlsbad for more than two decades and as a chaplain for first responder agencies in San Diego County. In the days following the

Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, he and members of his congregation went from California to New York City to provide spiritual comfort. “With it still not possible for our residents to leave the community to go to a real beach, we are hoping this experience will be just as exhilarating for Roger and everyone taking part,” Cornman said. Vineyard Place is operated by Anthem Memory Care. Anthem’s core purpose is to protect, engage and love people living with memory loss and is committed to provide understanding and significance to people with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia.

Federal aid secured to help fight Apple Fire, now at 26,450 acres

City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The federal government will provide funds to help fight the Apple Fire, which had expanded to 26,850 acres and was only 15% contained as of press time, Tuesday, Aug. 4, after burning from Cherry Valley into the San Bernardino National Forest and destroyed at least one home while threatening dozens, authorities said Monday, Aug. 3. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the state will receive a Fire Management Assistance Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help ensure resources will be available to fight the brush fire. The grant will also allow local, state and tribal agencies responding to the fire to apply for 75% reimbursement of their eligible costs, the governor said in the announcement. A total of 2,296 firefighters and other personnel were assigned to the fire, including 29 hand crews and firefighters on 260 engines. The fight in the air during daylight hours involved nine helicopters and two airplanes, fire officials said, who updated the size of the fire after daybreak Monday morning. The Apple Fire is continuing to spread to the north across the head of the Mill Creek Canyon, and east into the San Gorgonio Wilderness,” according to a statement posted shortly before noon Tuesday on the InciWeb Incident Information system website. “As the fire burns into the wilderness the vegetation is becoming sparse limiting fire intensity,” according to the InciWeb statement. The fire burned primarily to the north and east Sunday amid dry vegetation, low humidity and high temperatures in an area with no recent fire history, officials said.

It was expected to burn into less dense vegetation as it progresses. It was expected to be hot and dry again Monday with wind gusts of 20 to 30 mph between noon and 8 p.m., but humidity was forecast to increase at night. Several evacuations were in place in both Riverside and San Bernardino counties. An emergency closure order was put in place Sunday prohibiting all entry into the San Gorgonio Wilderness Area, including the Pacific Crest Hiking Trail between the Forest Boundary and Forest Road 1N01. Residents north of Wilson Street, east of Sunset Avenue and west of Hathaway Street in Banning were ordered to evacuate at 2:15 p.m. Saturday as flames crept toward the neighborhood, according to the Riverside County Emergency Management Department. At 7 p.m. Saturday, residents were put on notice they should be prepared to evacuate with little notice from the area north of Morongo Road east of Millard Canyon Road, west of Whitewater Canyon Road. Also under evacuation orders since Friday were residents in the Banning Bench area and those north of Cherry Valley Boulevard between Beaumont and Highland Springs avenues, the Riverside County Fire Department said. Fire officials estimated that 2,600 residences and 7,800 people have been evacuated and said they do not have a time frame for repopulating evacuated areas. A hard road closure was in place along North Sunset Avenue at Wilson Street and North San Gorgonio Avenue at Summit Drive, according to the Banning Police Department.

Weekend closure of westbound Highway 60 from Beaumont to Moreno Valley announced Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Motorists from San Jacinto and Hemet who are used to commuting to Moreno Valley and points west over the Friday, Aug. 7-10 weekend will ﬁnd changes occurring on Route 60 from Beaumont through the Badlands with the full closure of the westbound lanes and one eastbound lane. The announcement was made by the Riverside County Transportation Commission, which said the closure is needed for the continuing Route 60 Truck Lanes Project that began in 2019. The commission explained that “drivers planning to use Route 60 through Riverside County’s Badlands should make other plans or allow extra travel time the weekend of Aug. 7-10. A full closure of the westbound lanes will take place between Gilman Springs Road and the Interstate 10 and Route 60 Interchange in Beaumont from Friday, Aug. 7, at 9 p.m. to Monday, Aug. 10, at 6 a.m. One eastbound lane also will be closed nightly after 9 p.m. and will reopen daily before 7 a.m.” Construction crews will be shifting motorists onto the newly paved

westbound lanes and moving k-rail into place to allow work to begin on the Route 60 median. “Drivers should expect signiﬁcant delays, allow extra time, and use Interstate 10 as an alternate route,” RCTC said in a news release. During the past year, crews have been excavating the steep hillsides to provide space to add a truck lane in both directions. Crews have excavated 1.6 million cubic yards of dirt, about 78% of the total needed for the project. During that time, crews also have constructed drainage systems using 7,000 feet of drainage pipe and are building two 20-foot by 20-foot wildlife crossings. Paving of the westbound lanes began this June with an aggregate base, followed by a layer of hot mix asphalt, which was topped with a 12-inch layer of jointed plain concrete pavement. The concrete will cure began two weeks ago and will continue through the night of Friday, Aug. 7. They will open the lanes in the morning. The $113 million county construction project is expected to be complete in 2022. Tony Ault can be reached by email at tault@reedermedia.com.

ry Valley Boulevard were also shut down. A temporary evacuation center was established at Beaumont High School, 39139 Cherry Valley Blvd., with anyone going there subject to COVID-19 testing before being allowed in, fire department spokesman Fernando Herrera said. The American Red Cross was assisting evacuees by putting them up in hotels. Riverside County residents were encouraged to visit the website http://www.rivcoready.org/ActiveEvents for an interactive map, where they can enter their address and see if they are in an evacuation area. They can also follow https://twitter.com/RivCoReady for updates. The fight against the blaze has been waged by a unified command among the U.S. Forest Service, Riverside County Fire Department, Riverside County Sheriff’s Department and the city of Yucaipa. On Sunday morning, management of the incident transitioned to California Interagency Incident Management Team 2. A public information line was established at 909-383-5688. Officials said much of the northern and eastern edge of the fire is

in very steep, rugged hillsides that are not accessible to firefighting vehicles. Helicopters, fixed-wing air tankers, ground equipment and hand crews were battling the blaze. Fire officials said a single-family home and two outbuildings were destroyed near Avenida Miravilla, adding to the destruction of a few cars, a structure and a boat reported Friday night. The smoke column from the fire was visible throughout much of Southern California. The South Coast Air Quality Management District issued a smoke advisory through Monday night for the Coachella Valley, San Gorgonio Pass and Hemet-San Jacinto Valley due to the fire. The agency urged residents in the area who smell smoke or see ash to limit their exposure by remaining indoors with windows and doors closed or to seek alternate shelter and avoid vigorous physical activity. Along with county fire crews and Orange County and Anaheim Fire and Rescue firefighters, personnel from the Calimesa, Morongo, Murrieta, Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Huntington Beach, Hemet, Pechanga, San Bernardino, Soboba, Los Angeles and Los Angeles County fire departments were sent to assist under a mutual

aid request. At the request of the fire department, Southern California Edison turned off electricity along Oak Glen Road and surrounding side streets to prevent additional fires from breaking out as burned power poles collapsed and dropped transmission lines. The practice is known as a “public safety power shut-off.” Initially, two possible arson fires were reported at 5 p.m. Friday in the area of Apple Tree Lane and Oak Glen Road on the north end of the unincorporated community bordering Beaumont and merged into one by 5:45 p.m., the RCFD said. A third possible arson fire was also reported in the area and had blackened 60-80 acres by 7 p.m., according to reports from the scene. Firefighters sent to the location encountered the three blazes coalescing in a drainage with heavy vegetation. Witnesses called 911 as the fires started, stating a man was seen walking along Apple Tree Lane, igniting each blaze. Arson investigators were dispatched to the area and an investigation was underway.

Authorities ID service member killed, 8 presumed dead in sea training accident City News Service SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The U.S. military released the names, Monday, Aug. 3, of a 20-year-old Marine who was killed and eight other young service members presumed dead after an amphibious assault vehicle sank during a training mission recently near San Clemente Island. Lance Cpl. Guillermo S. Perez of New Braunfels, Texas, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, according to Marine Corps officials. Perez was a rifleman with Bravo Company, Battalion Landing Team 1/4, 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit. The eight lost service members were identified as: Pfc. Bryan J. Baltierra, 18, of Corona, a rifleman with Bravo Company, BLT 1/4, 15th MEU; Lance Cpl. Marco A. Barranco, 21, of Montebello, a rifleman with Bravo Company, BLT 1/4, 15th MEU; Pfc. Evan A. Bath, 19, of Oak Creek, Wisconsin, a rifleman with Bravo Company, BLT 1/4, 15th MEU; Christopher Gnem, 22, of Stockton, a Navy hospital corpsman with Bravo Company, BLT 1/4, 15th MEU; Pfc. Jack Ryan Ostrovsky, 21, of Bend, Oregon, a rifleman with Bravo Company, BLT 1/4, 15th MEU; Cpl. Wesley A. Rodd, 23, of Harris, Texas, a rifleman with Bravo Company, BLT 1/4, 15th MEU; Lance Cpl. Chase D. Sweetwood, 19, of Portland, Oregon, a rifleman with Bravo Company, BLT 1/4, 15th MEU, and Cpl. Cesar A. Villanueva, 21, of Riverside, a rifleman with Bravo Company, BLT 1/4, 15th MEU. The amphibious troop-transport vehicle was en route to a waiting ship about 80 miles off the coast of Encinitas about 5:45 p.m. Thursday, July 30, when it started taking on water for unknown reasons, according to Lt. Gen. Joseph Osterman, commanding general of 1st Marine Expeditionary Force. Seven members of the U.S.

Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton-based crew survived the accident. Medics took two of them to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, where both were admitted in critical status. One was upgraded to stable condition as of Sunday night, Marine officials said. The other five rescued Marines received clean bills of health and returned to their units. The 15th MEU, 1st Marine Expeditionary Force and Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group worked for nearly two days to locate more survivors, but they concluded the search-and-rescue operation Saturday after 40 hours of searching across 1,324 square miles. The 26-ton amphibious vehicle went down more than 1,000 yards from a beach on the northwest side of the San Clemente Island in water several hundred feet deep. “It’s really below the depth that a diver can go to,” Osterman said. The deadly accident will be the subject of an exhaustive investigation, according to Marine Corps officials. The Undersea Rescue Command will use an underwater drone to search for the missing victims’ remains, with support from supply ship HOS Dominator, military officials said.

“Our thoughts and prayers have been, and will continue to be with our Marines’ and sailor’s families during this difficult time,” Col. Christopher Bronzi, commanding oﬃcer of the 15th MEU, said. “The steadfast dedication of the Marines, sailors and Coast Guardsmen to the persistent rescue eﬀort was tremendous.” In a prepared statement released Monday, U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said “(a) grateful nation and the Department of Defense grieves the tragic loss ... of these brave young men. “Their service, commitment and courage will always be remembered by the nation they served,” Esper said. “While the incident remains under investigation, I want to assure our service members and their families that we are committed to gathering all the facts, understanding exactly how this incident occurred and preventing similar tragedies in the future.” San Clemente Island, one of the eight in the Channel Islands archipelago, is owned by the U.S. Navy and lies within the boundaries of Los Angeles County. Its military uses are administered by Naval Base Coronado.

Wave of evictions expected as moratoriums end in many states Regina Garcia Cano and Michael Casey THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Kelyn Yanez used to clean homes during the day and wait tables at night in the Houston area before the coronavirus. But the mother of three lost both jobs in March because of the pandemic and now is facing eviction. The Honduran immigrant received help from a local church to pay part of July’s rent but was still hundreds of dollars short and is now awaiting a three-day notice to vacate the apartment where she lives with her children. She has no idea how she will meet her August rent. “Right now, I have nothing,” Yanez said, who brieﬂy got her bar job back when the establishment reopened, but lost it again when she and her 4-year-old daughter contracted the virus in June and had to quarantine. The apartment owners “don’t care if you’re sick, if you’re not well. Nobody cares here. They told me that I had to have the money.” Yanez, who lives in the U.S. illegally, is among some 23 million people nationwide at risk of being evicted, according to The Aspen Institute, as moratoriums enacted because of the coronavirus expire and courts reopen. Around 30 state moratoriums have expired since May, according to The Eviction Lab at Princeton University. On top of that, some tenants were already encountering illegal evictions even with the moratoriums. Now, tenants are crowding courtrooms – or appearing virtually – to detail how the pandemic has upended their lives. Some are lowincome families who have endured evictions before, but there are also plenty of wealthier families facing homelessness for the ﬁrst time – and now being forced to navigate overcrowded and sometimes dangerous shelter systems amid the pandemic. Experts predict the problem will

only get worse in the coming weeks, with 30 million unemployed and uncertainty whether Congress will extend the extra $600 in weekly unemployment benefits that expired Friday, July 31. The federal eviction moratorium that protects more than 12 million renters living in federally subsidized apartments or units with federally backed mortgages expired July 25. If it’s not extended, landlords can initiate eviction proceedings in 30 days. “It’s going to be a mess,” Bill Faith, executive director of Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio, said referring to the Census Bureau Household Pulse Survey, which found recently that more than 23% of Ohioans questioned said they weren’t able to make July’s rent or mortgage payment or had little or no confidence they could pay next month’s. Nationally, the figure was 26.5% among adults 18 years or older, with numbers in Louisiana, Oklahoma, Nevada, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, New York, Tennessee and Texas reaching 30% or higher. The margins of error in the survey vary by state. “I’ve never seen this many people poised to lose their housing in such a short period of time,” Faith said. “This is a huge disaster that is beginning to unfold.” Housing advocates fear parts of the country could soon look like Milwaukee, which saw a 21% spike in eviction filings in June, to nearly 1,500 after the moratorium was lifted in May. It’s more than 24% across the state. “We are sort of a harbinger of what is to come in other places,” Colleen Foley, the executive director of the Legal Aid Society of Milwaukee, aid. “We are getting calls to us from ZIP codes that we don’t typically serve, the part of the community that aren’t used to coming to us,” she said. “It’s a reflection of the massive job loss and a lot of people

facing eviction who aren’t used to not paying their rent.” In New Orleans, a legal aid organization saw its eviction-related caseload almost triple in the month since Louisiana’s moratorium ended in mid-June. Among those seeking help is Natasha Blunt, who could be evicted from her two-bedroom apartment where she lives with her two grandchildren. Blunt, a 50-year-old African American, owes thousands of dollars in back rent after she lost her banquet porter job. She has yet to receive her stimulus check and has not been approved for unemployment benefits. Her family is getting by with food stamps and the charity of neighbors. “I can’t believe this happened to me because I work hard,” Blunt said, whose eviction is at the mercy of the federal moratorium. “I don’t have any money coming in. I don’t have nothing. I don’t know what to do. ... My heart is so heavy.” Along with exacerbating a housing crisis in many cities that have long been plagued by a shortage of affordable options, widespread discrimination and a lack of resources for families in need, the spike in filings is raising concerns that housing courts could spread the coronavirus. Many cities are still running hearings virtually. But others, like New Orleans, have opened their housing courts. Masks and temperature checks are required, but maintaining social distance has been a challenge. “The first couple of weeks, we were in at least two courts where we felt really quite unsafe,” Hannah Adams, a staff attorney with Southeast Louisiana Legal Services, said. In Columbus, Ohio, Amanda Wood was among some 60 people on the docket Friday for eviction hearings at a convention center converted into a courtroom. Wood, 23, lost her job at a claims management company in early April. The following day, the mother of a 6-month-old found out she was pregnant again. Now, she is two

months behind rent and can’t figure out a way to make ends meet. Wood managed to find a part-time job at FedEx, loading vans at night. But her pregnancy and inability to find stable child care has left her with inconsistent paychecks. “The whole process has been really difficult and scary,” Wood, who is hoping to set up a payment scheduled after meeting with a lawyer Friday, said. “Not knowing if you’re going to have somewhere to live, when you’re pregnant and have a baby, is hard.” Though the numbers of eviction filings in Ohio and elsewhere are rising and, in some places reaching several hundred a week, they are still below those in past years for July. Higher numbers are expected in August and September. Experts credit the slower pace to the federal eviction moratorium as well as states and municipalities that used tens of millions of dollars in federal stimulus funding for rental assistance. It also helped that several states, including Massachusetts and Arizona, have extended their eviction moratorium into the fall.

Still, experts argued more needs to be done at the state and federal level for tenants and landlords. Negotiations between Congress and the White House over further assistance are ongoing. A $3 trillion coronavirus relief bill passed in May by Democrats in the House would provide about $175 billion to pay rents and mortgages, but the $1 trillion counter from Senate Republicans only has several billion in rental assistance. Advocacy groups are looking for over $100 billion. “An eviction moratorium without rental assistance is still a recipe for disaster,” Graham Bowman, staﬀ attorney with the Ohio Poverty Law Center, said. “We need the basic economics of the housing market to continue to work. The way you do that is you need broad-based rental assistance available to families who have lost employment during this crisis.” “The scale of this problem is enormous so it needs a federal response,” Bowman said. Casey reported from Boston. The AP writer Farnoush Amiri in Columbus, Ohio, contributed.

Trump signs $3B-a-year plan to boost conservation, parks Yellowstone national parks play an outsize role. Daines and Gardner persuaded Trump to support the legislation at a White House meeting this year. The late Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., sponsored the original measure that passed the House and contained Senate amendments. Ivanka Trump, the Republican president’s daughter and adviser, also supported the legislation. Trump talked about the beauty of the national parks Tuesday.

President Donald Trump signed into law legislation Tuesday, Aug. 4, that will devote nearly $3 billion annually to conservation projects, outdoor recreation and maintenance of national parks and other public lands. The measure was overwhelmingly approved by Congress. “There hasn’t been anything like this since Teddy Roosevelt, I suspect,” Trump said about the 26th president, who created many national parks, forests and monuments to preserve the nation’s natural resources. Supporters said the Great American Outdoors Act is the most signiﬁcant conservation legislation enacted in nearly half a century. Opponents counter that the money isn’t enough to cover the estimated $20 billion maintenance backlog on federally owned lands. The law requires full, mandatory funding of the popular Land and Water Conservation Fund and addresses the maintenance backlog facing America’s national parks and public lands. The law would

spend about $900 million a year – double current spending – on the conservation fund and another $1.9 billion per year on improvements at national parks, forests, wildlife refuges and range lands. Trump in his budgets to Congress had previously recommended slashing the amount of money allocated to the fund, but he reversed course and called for full funding in March. Supporters said the legislation will create at least 100,000 jobs, while restoring national parks and repairing trails and forest systems. The park maintenance backlog has been a problem for decades, through Republican and Democratic administrations. The House and the Senate cleared both bills by overwhelming bipartisan margins this summer. Among the bills’ congressional champions are Republican Sens. Cory Gardner of Colorado and Steve Daines of Montana. Both are among the Senate’s most vulnerable incumbents, and each represents a state where the outdoor economy and tourism at sites such as the Rocky Mountain and

The legislation’s opponents,

mostly Republicans, complain it would not eliminate an estimated $20 billion maintenance backlog on 640 million acres (259 million hectares) of federally owned lands. The legislation authorizes $9.5 billion for maintenance over ﬁve years. Lawmakers from Gulf Coast states also complained that their states received too small a share of revenue from oﬀshore oil and gas drilling that is used to pay for the conservation fund.

CANTON, Mass. – Howl I ever live without you? As many Americans have spent their time during the coronavirus stay at home orders working, living, sleeping and exercising in their houses, their pets have become used to having their humans home all day, which could pose potential emotional stress or separation anxiety when things return to usual – for both humans and their pet counterparts. Mira-Pet, a specialist in oral hygiene technology for pets, conducted a survey of 3,000 pet owners across the U.S., which revealed that almost one in four pet owners in California, 23%, were concerned about separation anxiety from their pet when they return to work once stay-at-home orders due to the coronavirus pandemic have been fully lifted. From the survey results, it appeared many pet owners have developed stronger emotional bonds with their animals during this stressful pandemic period than before it happened. While cats are typically more comfortable in their own company, dogs will feel the separation more, according to Mira-Pet. About a quarter, 26%, of pet owners said they were worried their pet will have separation anxiety when lockdown restrictions are fully lifted and they spend less time at home. The therapeutic eﬀects caused by the presence of an animal is called social recognition, which is identifying another being as someone signiﬁcant in your life. Healthy social relationships – including humans and pets – can play a key role in mental wellbeing, which is why without them, people may feel depressed, lonely and unwell. The survey found that

73% of pet owners said their furry friend has helped them with their mental health during lockdown. Many owners were willing to sacrifice a portion of their salary to be at home with their pet more; 38% of pet owners said they would consider a small pay cut in order to continue working from home after lockdown so their pet wouldn’t be lonely. Moreover, over half, 57%, of people thought that having an office pet would boost team spirit and increase productivity. There were positive aspects to spending so much time with a pet during the stay-at-home orders, such as 65% of respondents said it was the companionship their pet provided, 19% said it reduced their anxiety, 9% said their pet became more affectionate, 5% said they felt safer being in lockdown with their pet and 2% said their pet encouraged them to be more active. The survey revealed that 74% of pet owners said their animal’s hygiene levels were higher during lockdown. Of course, there are also negative aspects of being in lockdown

with pets. The survey found that 45% of people said the worse aspect was that their pet was very loud, 24% said it was having to clean up their pet’s mess more regularly, 17% said their pet was a distraction from work and 14% said it was their pet’s bad breath that made it the hardest. “Not only will your pet find it difficult to readjust to their human not being around, as a pet owner, you are likely to experience similar feelings of separation anxiety from your warm, compassionate furry friend,” Stephen Spector, CEO of Techmira Corp., which owns MiraPets, said. “To ease the emotional stress you may feel, if you have a housekeeper or loved one who is home during the day, you could ask them to video call you so you can check in on your pet. If you live alone, this option is slightly trickier but not impossible as there are also an abundance of devices available online, such as webcams specifically for your pets.” For more information, visit https://www.techmira.com/mirapet/.

This week I listened to an interview on Public Broadcasting Service with Jason Stanley, a professor of philosophy at Yale University and author of the book “How Fascism Works.” He deﬁned fascism as an ideology based on power, loyalty and “fear of the other” where the other is deﬁned ethnically, or by nationality or religion, and the leader represents “us.” His position was that we are in danger of fascism by President Donald Trump. It was his assertion that the entire reason the Depart-

ment of Homeland Security went into Portland was not to protect federal properties from being destroyed –as is their job– but rather it was President Donald Trump’s political plan to provoke the rioters and create a scene of chaos and violence for the TV screens so that he could appear as the “strong man to protect you against opponents who threaten the values you hold dear.” Stanley is voicing a leftist position. Stanley did not address the other cities where rioters and looters have been terrorizing those cities in the absence of federal oﬃcers but did point out that there can be a fascist social and political movement in a democracy, which is what we are seeing across the world, in the U.S. and Brazil. Stanley states the press is undermining democracy from within. He said the goal is to undermine the institutions and create new fascist institutions. That point was interesting to me because while he is thinking Trump is doing that through DHS going into Portland, I am thinking the “left” is doing that because they want to change or tear down some of our basic institutions.

So, the “left” and the “right” are both in fear of the other as fascist. Merriam Webster deﬁnes fascism as “a political philosophy, movement or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation and forcible suppression of opposition.” The “right” believes the “left” is also practicing “identity politics” and exalting race and other identities above everything else – above individualism and suppressing opposition and ideas. A good example of this concept is what is happening with the censoring of conservatives on social media and by attacks from Antifa. An early Antifa example is the uprising and protesting at Berkeley when conservative radio talk host and author Ben Shapiro was scheduled to speak in 2017. Antifa wanted to “cancel” Shapiro because his ideas did not align with theirs. It was classic “identity politics.” The “right” was in danger of being attacked by the “left.” A recent example is Bernell Trammell, age 60, a dreadlocked activist known for carrying hand-

made signs through the streets which said, “Vote Donald Trump 2020,” and posting them on his storefront. He was gunned down by an unknown assailant on his sidewalk last Thursday afternoon, police said, according to the NY Post. I doubt we will see protests or riots over Mr. Trammell’s death. This week I heard another wellknown lesbian woman podcaster who was talking about how she was being “canceled” by the “left” because she wasn’t acknowledging a person’s proper group or identity. She said she’s just tired of people being so demanding and sensitive. She was saying that people on the “right” have been far nicer and accepting of her. The next thing to consider is intersectionality. This worldview is a theoretical framework for understanding how aspects of a person’s social and political identities (e.g., gender, sex, race, class, sexuality, religion, ability, physical appearance, height, etc.) might combine to create unique modes of discrimination and privilege. What strikes me about identity politics and intersectionality is what clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson points to, that the natural

conclusion of intersectionality is individualism. Furthermore, to attribute to an individual the attributes of that community on the basis of their racial identity is called racism. As if they’re homogeneous. It’s the same with any group. When you start identifying someone by all the groups they identify with, the possibilities are endless and at the end of it all is a unique individual. We are all individuals and it’s antithetical to the idea of American individualism, where we believe that no matter who we are or where we came from that we can accomplish and go wherever our hard work will take us. But somehow now, instead of being judged by our character as Martin Luther King Jr. spoke of, some in our culture are trying to reverse it and go backward. They are actually angry if you don’t recognize and identify someone based on their skin color, or their “gender.” Why can’t we just respect and honor everyone, no matter what their race, gender, class, religion, etc.? It just seems like we are going backward.

Poll: 62% of Americans say they have political views they’re afraid to share Emily Ekins THE CATO INSTITUTE

A new Cato national survey released July 22, finds that self‐censorship is on the rise in the United States. Nearly two-thirds – 62% – of Americans say the political climate these days prevents them from saying things they believe because others might find them offensive. The share of Americans who self‐censor has risen several points since 2017 when 58% of Americans agreed with this statement. These fears cross partisan lines. Majorities of Democrats (52%), independents (59%) and Republicans (77%) all agree they have political opinions they are afraid to share. Liberals are divided on political expression Strong liberals stand out, however, as the only political group who feel they can express themselves. Nearly 6 in 10 (58%) of staunch liberals feel they can say what they believe. However, centrist liberals feel differently. A slim majority (52%) of liberals feel they have to self‐censor, as do 64% of moderates, and 77% of conservatives. This demonstrates that political expression is an issue that divides the Democratic coalition between centrist Democrats and their left flank. What’s changed? In 2017 most centrist liberals felt confident (54%) they could express their views. However today, slightly less than half (48%) feel the same. The share who feel they cannot be open increased 7 points from 45% in 2017 to 52% today. In fact, there have been shifts across the board, where more people among all political groups feel they are walking on eggshells. Although strong liberals are the only group who feel they can say what they believe, the share who feel pressured to self‐censor rose 12 points from 30% in 2017 to 42% in 2020. The share of moderates who self‐censor increased 7 points from 57% to 64%, and the share of conservatives rose 70% to 77%, also a 7‐point increase. Strong conservatives are the only group with little change. They are about as likely now (77%) to say they hold back their views as in 2017 (76%). Self‐censorship is widespread across demographic groups as well. Nearly two‐ thirds of Latino Americans (65%) and White Americans (64%) and nearly half of African Americans (49%) have political views they are afraid to share. Majorities of men (65%) and women (59%), people with incomes over $100,000 (60%) and people with incomes less than $20,000 (58%), people under 35 (55%) and over 65 (66%), religious (71%) and non‐religious (56%) all agree that the political climate prevents them from expressing their true beliefs. 50% of strong liberals support firing Trump donors; 36% of strong conservatives support

firing Biden donors The survey found that many Americans think a person’s private political donations should impact their employment. Nearly a quarter (22%) of Americans would support firing a business executive who personally donates to Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s campaign. Even more, 31% support firing a business executive who donates to Donald Trump’s reelection campaign. Support rises among political subgroups. Support increases to 50% of strong liberals who support firing executives who personally donate to Trump. And more than a third (36%) of strong conservatives support firing an executive for donating to Biden’s presidential campaign. Young Americans are also more likely than older Americans to support punishing people at work for personal donations to Trump. Forty‐four percent (44%) of Americans under 30 support firing executives if they donate to Trump. This share declines to 22% among those over 55 years old - a 20‐point difference. An age gap also exists for Biden donors, but is less pronounced. Twenty‐seven percent (27%) of Americans under 30 support firing executives who donate to Biden compared to 20% of those over 55 – a 7‐point difference.

32% worry their political views could harm their employment Nearly a third (32%) of employed Americans say they personally are worried about missing out on career opportunities or losing their job if their political opinions became known. These results are particularly notable given that most personal campaign contributions to political candidates are public knowledge and can easily be found online. And it’s not just one side of the political spectrum: 31% of liberals, 30% of moderates and 34% of conservatives are worried their political views could get them fired or harm their career trajectory. This suggests that it’s not necessarily just one particular set of views that has moved outside of acceptable public discourse. Instead these results are more consistent with a “walking on eggshells” thesis that people increasingly fear a wide range of political views could offend others or could negatively impact themselves. These concerns are also cross‐ partisan, although more Republicans are worried: 28% of Democrats, 31% of independents, and 38% of Republicans are worried about how their political opinions could impact their career trajectories. Americans with diverse backgrounds share this concern that their employment could be adversely affected if their political views were discovered: 38% of Hispanic Americans, 22% of African Americans, 31% of White Americans, 35% of men, 27% of

women, 36% of households earning less than $20,000 a year, and 33% of households earning more than $100,000 a year agree. Some are more worried about losing their jobs or missing out on job opportunities because of political views. Those with the highest levels of education are most concerned. Almost half (44%) of Americans with post‐ graduate degrees say they are worried their careers could be harmed if others discovered their political opinions, compared to 34% of college graduates, 28% of those with some college experience, and 25% of high school graduates But this educational divide appears largely driven by partisanship. Democrats with graduate degrees (25%) are about as likely as high school graduates (23%) to be worried their political views could harm their employment. However, a major shift occurs among Republicans who attend college and graduate school. About a quarter of Republicans with high school degrees (27%) or some college (26%) worry their political opinions could harm them at work – but this number increases to 40% among Republican college graduates and 60% of those with post‐graduate degrees. A similar trend is observed among independents. The share of independents who have these concerns increases from 18% among high school graduates, to 35% among those with some college, 41% of college graduates and 49% of post‐graduates. Younger people are also more concerned than older people, irrespective of political viewpoint.

Examining all Americans under 65, 37% of those under 30 are worried their political opinions could harm their career trajectories, compared to 30% of 3054 year‐olds and 24% of 55-64 year‐olds. But the age gap is more striking taking into account political views. A slim majority (51%) of Republicans under 30 fear their views could harm their career prospects compared to 39% of 3044 year‐olds, 34% of 45-54 year‐ olds, and 28% of 55-64 year‐old Republicans. Democrats reflect a similar but less pronounced pattern. A third (33%) of Democrats under 30 worry they have views that could harm their current and future jobs, compared to 27% of 30-54 year‐olds, and 19% of 55-64 year‐old Democrats. These data suggest that a significant minority of Americans from all political persuasions and backgrounds – particularly younger people who have spent more time in America’s universities – are most likely to hide their views for fear of financial penalty. A particularly surprising finding was that Americans who have these concerns are somewhat more likely to support the firing of Biden or Trump donors. A third (33%) among those who worry that their political views could harm their employment supported firing either Biden or Trump donors, compared to 24% of those who were not worried about their views impacting their jobs. This suggests that those who fear reprisal or economic penalty for their political views are not entirely distinct from those who seek the same for others.

Implications Taking these results together indicates that a signiﬁcant majority of Americans with diverse political views and backgrounds self‐ censor their political opinions. This large number from across demographic groups suggests withheld opinions may not simply be radical or fringe perspectives in the process of being socially marginalized. Instead many of these opinions may be shared by a large number of people. Opinions so widely shared are likely shaping how people think about salient policy issues and ultimately impacting how they vote. But if people feel they cannot discuss these important policy matters, such views will not have an opportunity to be scrutinized, understood or reformed. Methodology The Cato Institute Summer 2020 National Survey was designed and conducted by the Cato Institute in collaboration with YouGov. YouGov collected responses online during July 1–6, 2020 from a national sample of 2,000 Americans 18 years of age and older. Restrictions are put in place to ensure that only the people selected and contacted by YouGov are allowed to participate. The margin of error for the survey is +/- 2.36 percentage points at the 95% level of conﬁdence.

Roger Cohen SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

In the Bible, the Israelites journeyed for 40 years through the desert and had many obstacles. The Bible explained the many problems they had during the journey: employment, food shortages, water supply problems, civil unrest and even disease. Today, people’s problems may w w w . m y v a l l e y n e w s . c o m

be different from the issues of old; however, modern people suffer from COVID-19, diabetes, heart disease, financial losses, stress and more. I often go to Israel for visits, and when I go, I know not to go in June, July or August. Israel is like Murrieta in the summer months – it is hot. It is no fun climbing Masada when it is 110 F out. By the time of the Second Temple period, people had adapted to the Promised Land’s living conditions. I read recently how in the town of Ein Kerem, the city in which John the Baptist from Christian traditions lived, a ritual mikvah bath or “font” was found under a house. Search the internet for the pictures; it is fantastic to see how a mikvah bath was right under the floor in the liv-

At the writing of this article, my family and I have been displaced for seven weeks. It would be ﬁne if we chose to be homeless and live in a van down by the river, but we didn’t. We’ve been waiting for the county to squabble over the wording on a document to turn on the electricity to our new house. Until that’s done, we’re not allowed to move in. To be honest, it has been emotionally and financially draining. Between getting hotels, living in a camper trailer and driving hours to my in-laws’ house to stay, it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We just want it to end.

I know I’m not the only one and that you are facing some sort of challenge too. Not surprising considering what is going on around the nation. We all just want it to end. The question is how do you deal with the issues of the now while trying to see hope for tomorrow? How do you “not let it get to you” and drive you so crazy you just want to scream at the world and quit. Honestly, that’s where I’m at right now. Are you? If so, let me remind us that our best days are ahead. This is not the end, and God is not finished with you. Here’s how to know your best days are ahead. God always finishes what he starts in you, and what he starts is always good. Philippians 1:6 tells us that you can be “confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” You’ve probably started a project – or two – excited about how it’s going to look when it’s finished only to leave it unfinished. Well, God is nothing like us. What he starts he’s going to finish.

With that, let me remind you that God has started a “good work in you.” It might not look good right now. In fact, it might look dismal. But looks can be deceiving. Be confident in God, not your circumstance. The good thing he started in your life will be carried out. Trust him and let him finish. God is making you perfect. Or at least more perfect. Now I know the danger here is to think that you’re perfect enough, but sadly that’s not the case. Often what we fail to realize when we’re going through the valley is that God is using it for good. Your good. James 1:2-4 teaches us to “consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” Oh, how difficult this verse is. Want a moment of simple honesty? When I’m going through a tough time, and someone flippantly quotes me this verse, I want to scream. I think, “Yeah, it’s easy for you to say, buddy. You’re not going through this.

So just shut it.” I’m sure I’m not the only one. But no matter how irritated I might get at this verse, it doesn’t make it any less true. My trials, your trials, are an opportunity for “pure joy.” Can you grasp that? This is impossible in and of yourself. It is miraculous and is only possible through the power of the Holy Spirit in you. When you begin to realize that your problem is not just a problem, it’s an opportunity for God to do the miraculous in your life. You begin to grow. Perseverance takes root in your life, and you face the test of your faith with a godly determination that you’re not going to quit. You begin to see that your best days are not right now, they are ahead. God is doing a good work in your life. God is making you perfect. God will not abandon you. He’s making you perfect, more like Jesus. So let him ﬁnish. Zachary Elliott is the lead pastor of Fusion Christian Church in Temecula.

Within minutes of the sighting of a wisp of smoke in the distance, Anza Valley residents will often witness the arrival of Cal Fire’s Grumman S-2T air tankers speeding over the hills from their base at Hemet-Ryan airport. The aircraft perform aerial acrobatics as they maneuver around smoke and water-dropping helitack units to plaster Phos-Chek fire retardant on the flames. The Cal Fire air program is one of the largest firefighting organizations in the world. The fleet is made up of over 50 fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft strategically located throughout the state at Cal see TANKER, page AVO-2

Grumman S-2 aircraft as air tankers. From 1954 to 1972, these aircraft were used by the U.S. Navy as a carrier-based anti-submarine warfare airplane. The S-2s were manufactured by Grumman Aerospace and acquired by Cal Fire beginning in 1996. A total of 26 S-2E/G planes were acquired from the Department of Defense. Cal Fire converted the aircraft to a fire-fighting configuration and fitted them with modern, powerful turboprop engines. Twelve S-2Ts were ready for the 2001 fire season.

The completely reconditioned S-2T air tankers are faster, safer, more maneuverable and capable of carrying a larger retardant payload than the original S-2. The S-2T air tanker is an integral part of the department’s air attack program modernization efforts. A combination of S-2Ts and S2As are being used by Cal Fire in the next few years until 23 S-2Ts will replace all of the older craft. Cal Fire utilizes these air tankers for fast initial attack delivery of fire retardant on forest and brush fires.

The S-2Ts have a crew consisting of one pilot and has a cruise speed of 305 mph. Weighing 29,150 pounds, the planes are powered by twin Garrett TPE33114GR turbine engines, rated at 1,650 horsepower each. Fast, nimble and efficient, the S-2Ts continue to ply the skies with huge loads of fire-suppressing Phos-Chek to help stop the forward spread of wildland fires in and around the Anza Valley.

City News Service SPECIAL TO ANZA VALLEY OUTLOOK

A climber became stranded while trying to scale a mountain south of Anza, prompting a rescue operation that ended with the man being hoisted to safety, Wednesday, July 29. A Riverside County sheriﬀ’s helicopter crew was patrolling south of the Cahuilla Indian Reservation, in the area of Coyote Canyon Road and Covered Wagon Trail, at about 2 p.m. when personnel spotted the victim, who signaled for help, according to the county

fire department. Firefighters were sent to the location to determine whether they could reach the climber, but the steep terrain made using any type of ground vehicle untenable, officials said. A second sheriff’s helicopter with hoist capability was summoned, and the man was retrieved and flown to safety at about 3:10 p.m. He was not injured, according to the fire department. There was no word on how the victim became stranded.

Wild weasel wreaks havoc in Lake Riverside Estates home Diane Sieker STAFF WRITER

Michael Floyd, a homeowner at Lake Riverside Estates, had an interesting and unique experience with a normally shy and elusive wild animal recently. A weasel popped into his bathroom. “I had left the door open for the kitties, and when I went to the door to check on them, I swore I saw something ﬂash by out of the corner of my eye but couldn’t ﬁnd anything,” Floyd said. “When I walked by the bathroom, I saw my cat Anna sitting and staring at the toilet – not normal behavior for her. Upon closer inspection I found a weasel hiding between the tank and the wall.” According to DesertUSA, a website about deserts, wildlife, plants and more, the long-tailed weasel – like its taxonomic brethren, the least weasel and the short-tailed weasel – may seem as endearing as a curious, lively kitten, but in fact, ounce for ounce, it ranks as one of nature’s most relentless and ferocious predators. Indeed, it has been called “nature’s psychopath.” Thinking it was someone’s pet ferret, Floyd said he calmly captured the petite invader and put it in a pet carrier for transport to its worried owner. Only the creature was no pet; it was a wild weasel. The native long-tailed weasel, Mustela frenata, is a small car-

nivorous mammal that lives in woodlands, riparian grasslands, deserts and marshes. They favor rock crevices, brush piles, stump hollows and abandoned burrows made by other animals. Mostly solitary, weasels are mostly active during the day, hunting mice, ground squirrels, rabbits and gophers. Weasels are prey for foxes, coyotes, rattlesnakes and birds of prey as well as domestic dogs and cats. Long-tailed weasels have a black tip at the end of their tail, helping to distinguish them from other weasel species. These animals have a ferocious reputation and can attack prey several times their size, with unprecedented fury. Weasels have been known to get into a chicken coop, destroying every bird inside. “Apparently Mr. Weasel wanted to visit the Floyd household,” Carmen Batten said. “Mr. Weasel did not know that Anna the queen kitty wasn’t having any of that. Anna alerted Mike; Mike proceeded to catch what we thought was a pet ferret. Alas, that aggressive little beast is not a pet and was safely released back into the wild, far, far away from my home. No kittens, humans, ferrets, weasels or badgers were harmed in this morning’s escapades.” Diane Sieker can be reached by email at dsieker@reedermedia.com.

SCHOOL from page AVO-1 how to proceed. Three models are offered at this time. In the hybrid model, students can attend part of the week inperson and the rest of the week online. With the traditional model, students attend in person five days a week. The online model, or distance learning, involves interaction, instruction and check-ins via computer. Computers, hot spots, tech support, teacher devices and other technology will be provided by the district. Internet connectivity, or lack thereof, has been a concern, according to the district. Christi Barrett, superintendent of Hemet Unified, said, “HUSD understands the limitations some of our families have in regard to access to a device or the internet. The HUSD team is continually working on executing a plan in which families will be provided internet access and a device, if needed, even in our most remote areas. Schools will be communicating the details of access distribution before the first day of school, Aug. 17.” Parents expressed their concerns regarding their children’s upcoming schooling experiences, as well as the effects on teachers and staff. “The new school year is guaranteed to be difficult on everyone involved,” Tesse Benson said. “There will be people outside of their comfort zones working under conditions that they have most likely never worked in before. For myself and my family, we will be doing the online school with four students this year. It’s a lot, and one of us will probably cry before it’s over, but I’m trying to remember that we are all in the same boat right now and I would rather have them home and safe than have them get sick or get their teachers sick. I think during this time everyone just needs to remember to be kind. This isn’t

the school year anyone was prepared for. Our teachers need to completely change the way they do everything over a very short period of time. So thank your teachers, they probably need those words of encouragement now more than ever.” Working parents choosing the online model will face many challenges, Aurianna King, mother of four, said. “I think that the new school year is going to be a stressful but beneﬁcial time for families,” King said. “Stressful because we have parents working and trying to home-school their children – I do have a concern for those who cannot change their schedules in order to be sure their children are in their online meetings at the right time and focusing, especially for those with younger kids. I think it’s beneﬁcial because it’s more time that we get to spend with our children, and it’s better than having them sit in a classroom without being able to socialize naturally like children do.

worried about how the way things have been may affect the kids emotionally and mentally.” Doug Bailey is also worried about the social needs of his daughter Deanna. “I have very mixed feelings on the situation regarding school this next year,” he said. “Obviously safety is the ﬁrst concern but at the same time I feel like it’s coming at a heavy cost. Our daughter works very hard at school, and it shows with an ‘A’ average since kindergarten. Vera and I promise her the world as long as she keeps up on her end of the bargain. Without school, recognition for hard work, socializing and the daily routine that goes along with going to school every day, I feel like she’s missing a giant portion of her youth. All that being said, do we send them to school in masks? Do they even work? I’m still on the fence here, but for me what it’s likely going to boil down to is safety.” Some parents are already experienced in home schooling, and

Anza Local ACIL from page AVO-1 county or state tax dollars. “The park’s very existence depends completely on you and me personally. I think many of us take our little park for granted,” Phil Canaday, vice president of ACIL, said. “Our annual expenses are now greater than our annual income. If we don’t turn this around, at some point, the park will be unable to pay even its most basic of expenses, like our liability insurance. I am asking all of you according to your means for cash contributions, your membership, and I’m asking for volunteers to help with park repairs and maintenance. The park desperately needs contractors willing to donate their services too.” Contractors are needed to help with roof repair to the schoolhouse and maintenance of the stage, among other projects. Megan Haley of Heritage Well Service has pledged a donation, and Canaday is asking other Anza businesses to follow suit. “I have awesome plans to improve our little park with things like grass, sprinklers, a jogging track around the perimeter with rest stops and workout stations, a shade canopy over the basketball court and possibly to the stage, regular weekend activities like movies in the park, dances, barbecues, basketball teams, horseshoe tournaments, volleyball teams and more, especially during the summers,” Canaday said. “I am officially asking for financial gifts, both large and small, and for volunteers to help maintain the park, and to help make improvements each year until the park becomes one of the community’s top places for things to do on weekends, and to just relax with friends and family.” The park recently came under scrutiny on social media due to the presence of a homeless couple having taken residence behind the stage. The park not designed for anyone to live in – it is for children to play in, adults to have barbecues, play games and attend dances and other community events, Canaday said. The ACIL board members have given the couple a timeline to vacate the property. A committee had been formed to assist in organizing fundraising events. The Save the Park committee’s first meeting will be Saturday, Aug. 29, at 9 a.m. at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Anza on Contrasas Road, next to the park.

Minor Park is a piece of Anza history. On Feb. 5, 1913, the Hamilton School District was formed, and George B. Evans helped contractors J. W. Shaney and Will Collins build the Little Red School House. William 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 Gus Wishnand, John Arbuckle, A.B. Baker, Joe Dashner, G.P. Weatherill, Bill Cort and Antonio and John Contreras. The school was erected on land donated by George Turner and was to be returned to his family when no longer used as a school. The building was completed in September 1914. When Cahuilla Road 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 Turner family, the original school and land were auctioned off in 1964. The highest bidder was James Minor, who gave the land and the building to the Anza Civic Improvement League. The president of the league was one of the school’s graduates, Henry R. Lichtwald. The vice president was Fred “Rudy” Whestine; William H. Gleck was the treasurer and Leona Hyde, served as the ﬁrst secretary. Many public elections, church and Sunday school classes, holiday group gatherings, potlucks and celebrations have been held for valley residents at the park, and still are. 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 as a church for a few years, as a meeting place for the Anza Valley Chamber of Commerce and as a private school, San Jose Academy. The outhouses that were located down by the trees on both sides of a 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. Currently, the park and school building are the centerpieces of the town and a hub of activity. From the Anza Summer Nights concert series to car shows and horseshoe contests, the park is one of the most important community places in Anza. Both the park and the school-

HEMET – Jennifer Martin, Ph.D., director of special education for Hemet Unified School District, was promoted to the assistant superintendent of student services at the district’s board meeting, July 21. Martin said she is excited about the transition and to have the opportunity to further support students and the communities of HUSD. As the assistant superintendent, she will oversee child welfare and attendance, centralized registration, health services, parent resource center, SAFE after school program and special education. Her focus in leading these departments will be to provide a cohesive support system for all students. “I am truly thankful to be given this opportunity and to continue to serve on behalf of students,” Martin said. “I look forward to further

supporting, ensuring equity and continuing improving outcomes for all students and families within our district.” Martin said her new position will allow her to support students in a more diverse way by providing an environment in which all students can learn. Her goal is to create an integrated process that supports increased outcomes for all students. As the director of special education, Martin worked collaboratively with other department leaders and community partners, an opportunity she believes will further support her as she makes the transition to assistant superintendent with a greater understanding of the needs of the families HUSD serves. One of the first projects she will assist in is to help support the learning loss for students with disabilities and to

work with families and the community as students continue with online learning. Martin said she is thankful to continue to work with the Student Services division as they work to help support the social-emotional and mental health needs of our students and families caused by this pandemic. “This pandemic has made us

change the way that we lead and deliver educational services, and personally as a leader, I know that I will be a stronger and more effective leader because of the way this pandemic has challenged us to think and respond,” Martin said. Submitted by Hemet Unified School District.

Basking in the sun? Prolonged exposure increases chance of skin cancer PASADENA – With summer in full swing across Southern California, and many people participating in outdoor activities such as walking, hiking, camping and swimming, it’s important for people’s health to take special precautions to protect their skin. It’s a simple fact: spending too much time in the sun and its harmful ultraviolet rays can cause skin cancer, a potentially deadly disease. That’s why it’s imperative for everyone to protect their delicate skin on a daily basis. “It’s important to know that regardless which gender or race you belong to, you need to protect your skin from UV radiation to lessen your risk of skin cancer,” Dr. Joy M. Twersky, chief of dermatology at Kaiser Permanente Woodland Hills Medical Center, said.

“Using sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 30 or higher is advisable, and it should be reapplied as needed, including every 1-2 hours when in the water or when perspiring,” Twersky said. “However, using sunscreen alone isn’t always enough during prolonged sun exposure. That’s why you also should consider taking other steps to protect yourself.” Twersky oﬀered the following tips to lessen your chance of getting skin cancer. Avoid the sun during its peak hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Understand that sand, water and snow can reﬂect 85% of the sun’s rays. Protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses capable of blocking 99% of UVA and UVB radiation. When possible, wear loosefitting, long-sleeved clothing to

cover much of your skin. Wear clothing with the UPF label that helps protect against UV radiation. Because their skin is more sensitive, completely shield the skin of babies younger than six months from the sun. “It may not be possible to completely prevent skin cancer, but taking these precautions will help,” Twersky said. “Also, keep an eye on new spots or growths on your skin as they could be early signs of skin cancer. With early detection, skin cancer can be treated more easily. That’s why it’s important to regularly have your skin checked by a doctor.” Kaiser Permanente oﬀers tips on skin cancer prevention, as well as care instructions at https://healthy. kaiserpermanente.org/.

New York Times stalks Tucker Carlson, family afraid again

est ending that I have ever heard a news anchor announce. I could feel his fear for his family. It began normally. “Well, all of a sudden the media have ripped oﬀ the mask, and they’re supporting violence as a political tactic,” he said. “They spent the last few months describing the riots as mostly peaceful. It provided cover for rioting. They’ve watched conservative speakers shut down; their families harassed.” I have published similar sentences describing the deep state, establishment media coverage of the law and order issues of today. Next, he apologized for referencing himself. “Since the show began almost four years ago, I’ve really tried not to talk about myself on the air, or even use the ﬁrst-person pronoun. The last thing this country needs is more narcissism,” he said. Then, he related how the media with the thug organization Antifa had driven him out of his home in Washington almost two years before. “Left wing journalists publicized our home address in Washington,” Carlson said. “A group of screaming Antifa lunatics showed up while I was at work. They vandalized our home. They threatened my wife. She called 911 while hiding in a closet. A few weeks later they showed up again at our house. For the next year, they sent letters to our home threatening to kill us. We tried to ignore it. It felt cowardly to sell

our home and leave. We raised our kids there in the neighborhood, and we loved it. But in the end, that’s what we did. We have four children. It just wasn’t worth it.” Returning to his reluctance to report his persecution as news, he said, “But tonight we’re going to make an exception to that rule. We don’t have much choice.” I sat glued to my chair listening in horror because what was happening to him in America, with millions listening, what could happen to anyone with an audience. He was one of the most viewed anchors in America. But what came next is representative of what happened under Germany’s Adolf Hitler or Josef Stalin’s media tyranny in Russia. “Last week The New York Times began working on a story about where my family and I live,” Carlson said. “As a matter of journalism, there is no conceivable justification for a story like that. The paper is not alleging we’ve done anything wrong, and we haven’t. We pay our taxes; we like our neighbors. We’ve never had a dispute with anyone. So why is The New York Times doing a story on the location of my family’s house? Well, you know why. To hurt us, to injure my wife and kids so that I will shut up and stop disagreeing with them. They believe in force.” For more than a century, The New York Times has been the most trusted news outlet in America, and they are adopting the

suppression tactics of two of the most brutal dictators in world history. The tactics of each which the Times covered over past decades with disdain. Tucker continued. “But The New York Times followed us,” he said. “The paper has assigned a political activist called Murray Carpenter to write a story about where we are now. They’ve hired a photographer called Tristen Spinski to take pictures. Their story about where we live is slated to run in the paper this week. Editors there know exactly what will happen to my family when it does run. I called them today and I told them, but they didn’t care. They hate my politics. They want this show off the air. If one of my children gets hurt because of a story they wrote, they will consider it collateral damage. They know! It’s the whole point of the exercise, to inflict pain on our family, to terrorize us, to control what we say. That’s the kind of people they are.” Of course, The New York Times knows what they are doing. They saw how it worked under Hitler and Stalin – they are the Times – they were horrified at those tactics when they covered them. Now they are doing the same to those who disagree with them. Carlson said, “They’ll deny this, of course. They’ll claim it’s just journalism, just the facts. Really?” Then he asked for empathy. “So how would Murray Car-

penter and his photographer Tristen Spinski feel if we (“Tucker Carlson Tonight”) told you where they live? If we put pictures of their homes on the air? What if we publicize the home address of every one of the soulless robot editors at The New York Times, who was assigned and managed this incitement to violence against my family? What about the media editor, Jim Windoﬀ? We can do that. We know who they are. Would that qualify as journalism? We doubt they’d consider it as journalism. We don’t consider this journalism.” Carlson made an astute but truthful observation. “They’d call it criminal behavior if we did it.” he said. “And that tells you everything. It does tell you everything.” If The New York Times can destroy a very popular Fox News anchor, it can destroy any media source. The free press in America is close to being an illusion. I hope my assistance in publicizing this travesty will help stop its escalation. Dr. Harold W. Pease is a syndicated columnist and an expert on the United States Constitution.
